quarter that follows immediately or as soon thereafter as
available facilities will permit their admission
Of the 1284 students enrolled in the 1965 summer quarter 737 qualified to do regular freshman work therefore since 681 were admitted as freshmen in the ensuing fall quarter only 56 of those who qualified failed for personal choice or other reasons to show up on the freshman rolls the next quarter at the institutions at which they were enrolled for the Summer Trials
While it is possible that some of these 56 enrolled at other institutions it is unlikely that many did so Dr Martin says
Twentynine of the 56 were women students who qualified but could not be admitted at West Georgia College because dormitory space was not available there Dr Martins report indicated
The vice chancellor said the Summer Trial program is growing rapidly and is receiving favorable response from faculties as well as from students Enrollment in the program reached a new peak in the 1965 summer quarter and at the same time a larger portion of the students enrolled qualified for regular freshman work in the ensuing fall quarter he noted
Some institutions of the University System have been conducting Summer Trials for several years The Board of Regents in March adopted a resolution calling attention to the importance of the program and encouraging wider use of it

The need for the Technical Services Act and the broad purposes of the national program which are reflected in
the Georgia program are stated in the Act as follows
The Congress finds that wider diffusion and more effective application of science and technology in business commerce and industry are essential to the growth of the economy to higher levels of employment and to the competitive position of United States products in world markets
The Congress also finds that the benefits of federally financed research as well as other research must be placed more effectively in the hands of American business commerce and industrial establishments
The Congress further finds that the several states through cooperation with universities communities and industries can contribute significantly to these purposes by providing technical services designed to encourage a more effective application of science and and technology to both new and established business commerce and industrial establishments

State Agency Lists Eligibility Rules for Teaching Awards
Scholarships for graduate students who plan to teach in public or private colleges in Georgia have been added to the offerings of the Georgia State Scholarship Commission
Applications are now being received by the Commission at 244 Washington Street SW Atlanta 30334
Details of the new segment of the state scholarship programs created by the 1965 Legislature are available at that office
The Commission has made available 20 scholarships for the remainder of fiscal 196566 ending June 30 Thereafter 20 new scholarships in addition to renewals are expected to be awarded annually
Only residents of Georgia whose financial resources are insufficient to cover the expenses of graduate study necessary for a career in college teaching are eligible for the scholarships
Recipients must agree to repay the scholarships by teaching in a public or private college or university in Georgia One year of teaching will repay one year for which a scholarship is financed
The amount of the scholarship will be 1500 per academic year500 per quarter or 750 per semester
Scholarships may be granted to applicants for study for one quarter or more between working intervals One effect of this is to allow a recipient already on a faculty to become better prepared for teaching without terminating faculty status providing arrangements can be made for leave for alternate quarters or for occasional quarters
Only in exceptional circumstances will approval be given for a scholarship for an isolated summer quarter the State Scholarship Commissions announcement indicated
Committee Meetings Scheduled
Two Academic Committees of the University System Advisory Council have scheduled meetings for January These are

Georgia Among Leaders Continued from Page 1
Technical Services Close Contact With Firms in Georgia
program of incentives and support for the several states individually and in cooperation with each other in their establishing and maintaining state and interstate technical service programs designed to achieve these ends
Governor Sanders designated the Board of Regents of the University System as the agency to administer the Georgia Technical Services Program The Georgia Science and Technology Commission is the Advisory Council of the new program Chancellor George L Simpson Jr of the University System moved further to expand the base of participation by requesting representatives of private higher education business and industry to serve on the operating committees
Cooperation and Experience
A major factor in acceleration of Georgias program from the beginning has been the particularly close cooperation between the University of Georgia and the Georgia Institute of Technology These University System institutions have extensive statewide service programs which have operated for many years in support of business and industry
The principal group responsible for establishing policy and supervising its implementation is an eightmember Technical Services Executive Committee appointed by Chancellor Simpson J W Fanning vice presidentservices University of Georgia is chairman of the committee
A P Jensen senior research engineer at the Georgia Institute of Technologys Rich Electronic Computer Center is principal staff secretary
Operating committees include Information Bank Field Services and Instructional Services These committees include representatives from the University System private higher education the Georgia Science and Technology Commission and the Georgia Department of Industry and Trade
Implementation of the program will involve extensive contact with individual business and industrial firms throughout the State in gathering disseminating and applying information on science and technology The program will be missionoriented that is it will cover broad areas of interest such as data that are potentially applicable and pertinent to all firms or at least to a substantial portion of firms in industry groups
Although the program will deal with entire industry groups the primary objective will be ultimately to carry the latest available knowhow in science and technology to the production lines and plants of individual businesses and industries
Objectives of the Georgia program and tentative guidelines for their implementation were outlined by Chairman Fanning annd Secretary Jensen at a December meeting in Atlanta Attending the session were representatives of several of Georgias Qualified Institutions as defined by the
Act and a number of other persons who are interested in the program
All Qualified Institutions are eligible to submit proposals for implementinng the technical services program Each proposal is to set forth what the institution wishes to do toward accomplishing the objectives of the program as well as detailed plans for doing the work A budget is required for each proposal Guidelines to use in submitting proposals were provided at the meeting in December
The proposals are being used by the Technical Services Executive Committee and the operating committees in the preparation of the annual program outlines for the remainder of fiscal 1966 and for fiscal 1967 The annual programs along with the fiveyear plan for economic and industrial development of Georgia are scheduled to be submitted by January 15 to the US Department of Commerce
Contents of FiveYear Plan
The fiveyear plan which may be revised from time to time deals with technological and economic conditions in Georgia identifies major problems and general methods which will be employed in solving the problems and establishes approaches to measuring the impact of the technical services program It also sets forth methods for administering and coordinating the program
Development of the fiveyear plan has been underway for several weeks
Individual letters of invitation to attend the December meeting were sent to 27 public and private institutions of higher education in Georgia These are the institutions which a study identified as being Qualified Institutions by definition of the Act They include institutions with programs leading to a fouryear degree in science engineering or business administration which are accredited by a nationally recognized accrediting agency or association to be listed with the United States Commissioner of Education
The science program used for qualifying an institution must be reasonably related to business commerce or industry within the State or region
The Act leaves the door open for other institutions of higher education as well as state agencies and private nonprofit institutions to become Qualified Institutions by meeting standards to be prescribed
Any institution or agency which is subsequently found to meet the standards prescribed by the Act will be added to the list of Qualified Institutions in the files
Implementation of the Georgia Technical Services Program will be accomplished through three operating divisions which correspond in designations to the operating committees
Objectives of the divisions as set forth in the guidelines discussed at the December meeting are as follows
6
The INFORMATION BANK will include a comprehensive technical information service consisting of profiles of Georgia business and industry an inventory of scientific and technological skills in Georgia and scientific and technological information of general nature with particular emphasis on data which relate to problems and opportunities of business and industry in Georgia
This technical information service will provide for continuous revision of and additions to all banked information and it must also permit highspeed retrieval and referral
The sustained operation of this segment of the program as well as the initial development of it will involve the centralizationand in some cases consolidationof much data that are already assembled by federal and state agencies and other groups New data will be added all the time as these become available of course
While much of the data of the Information Bank will be computerized it is anticipated that microfilm printed technical reports and abstracts and other media will be employed also
FIELD SERVICES will include inthefield programs involving direct relationships with businesses and industries throughout Georgia A major part of the work of field services will be onthespot assistance in more effective application of scientific and technological information
INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES will include development and conduct of Management Training conferences and Information Technology conferences
The proposals which the Qualified Institutions are invited to submit will be aimed at accomplishing the objectives of the three operating divisions during the remainder of fiscal 1966 and during fiscal 1967 A limited amount of work will be done for the remainder of fiscal 1966 since it is anticipated that the operating programs will not be funded until April 1 leaving only one quarter before fiscal 1967 begins
Federal funds will be available for use in the implementation of the approved annual programs on the basis of one dollar from Washington for one dollar of stategenerated money The States portion may be derived from taxes or from fees and other sources
The amount of federal funds available to a state will depend on the US Department of Commerces evaluation of the proposed annual program for which money is requested Georgias share of federal money on a matching basis is expected to be at least 37500 for the remainder of fiscal 1966 A states population as well as the merit of its proposed annual program is taken into consideration in the allocation of federal funds
In addition to the matching funds nonmatching federal money is available to each state for use in preparing the fiveyear plan and the first annual program The maximum amount of nonmatching federal money authorized for planning is 25000 annually for up to three years

Centers for Languages In Two European Countries
A Study Abroad program of the University System will offer courses in foreign languages in Germany and France during the summer of 1966
Authorization for a sevenweek course in each of the countries was voted by the Board of Regents in December following recommendation by Chancellor George L Simpson Jr of a report of the Foreign Languages Study Committee The committee which was created by the Regents last spring spent several months studying possible ways to expand foreignlanguages study in the University System
S C Mangiafico professor of Romance Languages at the Womans College of Georgia is chairman of the committee and director of the Study Abroad program
The Regents allocated 10536 for overhead expenses including salaries and travel of directors Each student will pay approximately 850 to cover Transatlantic fare tuition room board and miscellaneous expenses
The courses principally German in Germany and French in France will include some classroom instruction however the main emphasis will be on contacts with natives of the countries The program in Germany will be conducted at the University of Bonn and students will live with German families Seven universities in France have accepted the program and one of them will be selected
following Mr Mangiaficos visits to the institutions
Foreignlanguages graduates and students of institutions of the University System are eligible to enroll Nonmajors who speak foreign languages fluently also are eligible The order of priority will be graduates seniors juniors Applicants who plan to teach as well as those who are already teachers will be given preference
No beginning date has been set It is anticipated however that each course will begin in June
Approximately 30 students can be accommodated in each of the two courses Inquiries and applications should be directed to Mr Mangiafico at the Womans College of Georgia Milledgeville
The report of the Foreign Languages Study Committee indicated that 223 American universities and colleges in 34 states already operate programs similar to the one being initiated by the University System Some of these programs like the University Systems are on a cooperative basis with the sponsoring organization paying overhead expenses and the students paying all other major expenses
In addition to Mr Mangiafico members of the committee are S T Beasley Department of Languages Georgia State College James W Hassell Jr Department of Modern Foreign Languages University of Georgia James W Mathews Division of Humanities West Georgia College Lothar L Tresp Department of History University of Georgia and J Dixon Wright Department of Modern Languages Georgia Institute of Technology

Fee Boost Will Pay Part of Rising Costs
A basic increase of 25 per quarter in matriculation fees for all students at institutions of the University System and a further basic raise of 10 per quarter in nonresident tuition were voted by the Board of Regents in February
The increases the first on a Systemwide basis since the fall of 1961 will become effective at the beginning of the summer quarter of 1966
Increases were made necessary to bridge the gap between costs of anticipated increased enrollment for 196667 and state appropriations available for that year beginning July 1 and also to meet other rising costs of operating System institutions The new charges are still lower than fees and tuition charged by many comparable institutions of higher education in the Southeast and elsewhere in the nation
It was pointed out at the meeting of the Board of Regents that the portion of the cost of instruction and other operations paid by student fees has declined from 28 per cent in 196364 to 26 per cent in 196566 During the same period the portion paid from state Continued on Page 4

Fees Continued from Page 1
funds has increased from 67 per cent to 70 per cent The balance of the money comes from miscellaneous sources
Enrollment increases in the University System since the 196567 biennial appropriations bill was approved early in 1965 have been substantially larger than the projections made in preparation for the twoyear money measure
Student fees constitute the only major source from which to obtain additional funds to accommodate the 196667 enrollment beyond the projection approved for that year when the biennial appropriations bill was being drawn up
Increases in matriculation fees and nonresident tuition voted in February are expected to bring in an additional 4900000 for operations at teaching institutions in 196667 Even though the state appropriation for 196667 will not be large enough to take care of all increased expenditures the additional state money for that year provided when the twoyear money bill was approved in 1965 will be substantially more than the total of the recentlyapproved increases in student fees
Allocation of funds is scheduled to be considered by the Board of Regents at the March meeting
Student fees are listed in the table below

New Funds Available for Building Program
An additional 3 million in annual lease payments for amortizing construction projects at institutions of the University System was authorized by the 1966 session of the General Assembly
This will finance construction projects in the amount of approximately 42 million to 45 million through the University System Building Authority The Authority bonds for the construction are amortized on a longterm basis 25 years for most facilities with the annual lease payments Each dollar of lease payment will amortize approximately 14 to 15 in Authority bonds with the exact amount depending on market conditions at the time the bonds are sold
Approximately 10 million in bonds will be required to complete the funding of building projects already authorized by the Board of Regents Part of this additional amount is required to meet budget increases attributable to rising level of building costs since some projects were initially planned The remainder of it will be used for expansion of some facilities since initial plans were drawn to meet changing requirements and for some entire projects
which were authorized but not funded in the building program now underway
The remainder of the new building money in the neighborhood of 32 million to 35 million will be available for initiation of new building projects at the institutions
Study of total needs of each institution and of existing facilities to determine requirements subject to being met with the new funds is being conducted by the chancellors office This study which is being conducted in close cooperation with officials of the institutions includes evaluation of the extent of use of existing facilities
The list of projects to be included in the additional building program will be recommended by Chancellor Simpson to the Board of Regents
The newlyauthorized money brings to 11230000 the amount of state funds appropriated annually to the University System for Authority lease payments Previously the amount rose from 3522878 in 196263 to 4539514 in 196364 and to 8230000 in 196465 and also in 196566
The 3 million increase voted by the 1966 General Assembly will become effective on July 1 1966 the beginning of the 196667 fiscal year It will be several months before bonds to be amortized with the newlyauthorized Authority lease payments are sold In the meantime preliminary design work can be initiated almost immediately after building projects are approved by the Board of Regents

Junior College Site Chosen in Bibb County
The University Systems junior college in Bibb County will be constructed on a site approximately one mile west of Macon the Board of Regents decided at the March meeting
Scheduled to begin operation in the fall of 1968 the nonresidential institution will attract students primarily from Bibb and Houston Counties However it will be readily accessible to students from other surrounding counties
The site for the college is located between and is bounded by existing US Highway 80 and the new US Highway 80 which is being constructed Its eastern boundary is adjacent to the western boundary of the northsouth Interstate Highway 475 except for a 100foot strip which will be used for the construction of a parallel road outside the interstate highway rightofway
Funds to be raised by Bibb County will provide initial buildings for the college with the cost established at 3 million The County also will provide a fullydeveloped
campus site of not less than 100 acres Construction of the buildings will be handled by the Board of Regents and the campus site will be developed according to a plan provided by the Regents
Although an agreement calls for the County to furnish a campus site of at least 100 acres the Regents and Chancellor Simpson have suggested a larger site
I wish to reemphasize the need for adequate acreage to provide not only for the initial development but for the orderly future expansion of this institution Chancellor Simpson wrote county officials in midMarch I strongly recommend that you acquire at least 150200 acres for this institution
A junior college for the broadlyidentified Bibb CountyHouston County area was authorized by the Regents in June 1965 The location was narrowed to Bibb County in October A study of several possible sites was conducted between October and March

Statement by Chancellor George L Simpson Jr Before the Faculty Council of the University of Georgia on February 18 1966 Concerning Procedures for Selection of a Successor to President O C Aderhold
I have come before you to describe the process by which a successor to President Aderhold will be selected
President Aderhold will retire June 30 1967 according to established Board of Regents policy He will be hard to replace He has brought this institution forward He has stood firm when the pressures were great And he has zealously fought for the interests the budget and the freedom of the University of Georgia
I informed the Board of Regents on February 9 that I intended to appoint two advisory committees one from the faculty and one from the alumni to help in evaluating persons under consideration for the office of president of the University of Georgia These committees may meet together as occasion indicates
It is my intention to talk with a number of faculty and administrative people including if possible the chairmen of your standing committees as to the membership of the Faculty Advisory Committee I will come to a general faculty meeting to explain the procedure at an appropriate time
I hope that members of the faculty will study this matter carefully and submit the names of those persons they consider fully qualified for the job of president of a major state university to this Faculty Advisory Committee
The selection of a president of a university is a difficult undertaking The policy of the Board of Regents says simply that the chancellor shall recommend the appointment of all presidents The method of reaching a recommendation is not specified In recent years I have observed procedures that widely differ On the one hand there has been the selection by a committee usually of faculty and alumni more often than not such a selection committee becomes a battleground for contending forces rather than a true evaluation committee On the other hand there has been virtually unilateral action by a governing board This is obviously not acceptable as has been demonstrated at other institutions The method proposed attempts to avoid these faults
Specifically with respect to the Faculty Advisory Committee it is intended that this committee reflect the best faculty thinking on the kind of man to be secured receive suggest and evaluate persons and evaluate persons suggested by me alumni Regents and others No person will be seriously considered whose qualifications have not been reviewed in writing by the Faculty
Advisory Committee Nor will a recommendation be made to the Board of Regents without the written evalution of this committee attached
It is fair to say to this Council a few words concerning my approach to this matter I have no preconceived notion about going outside the institution or staying inside Essentially we are engaged in the search for a good man wherever he may be found The man chosen should be an excellent scholar in his own right he should be able to lead in research he should understand the service function of the University of Georgia in Georgia and he should know that the instruction of the Universitys students is his first and last responsibility Stated another way he should be a man who could be expected in a reasonable period of time to bring this institution into the Association of American Universities to take the lead in redefining as necessary the service function in a changing society and to know how to educate a student who is distinctive and dependable
The fact is that it is nor so much a problem of identifying the broad outline of the job to be done the problem is to find the man of real native ability and academic distinction who is willing to do all of it And to do all of the job over a sustained period of time I had a great teacher once who had two ways of putting this He would often say to his students It is not why didnt you but did you Or in another way he would differentiate between ability and capacity Many people he said had ability meaning the intelligence and the talent to perform well But few had capacity meaning the character the purpose and the strength to use ability consistently in all sorts and kinds of circumstances and amid all discouragements This is the sort of man that we must look for
It has been fortunately a long while since a president has been chosen in Athens Many of you are unfamiliar with the hazards of such a time for the wellbeing of an institution I come however from an environment in which picking heads of institutions has become a favorite indoor sport Many look on this as a time to settle old scores others look on the selection process as a time to reorganize and redirect the institution Gossip and backbiting often are abroad and much harm is done
This is a time for unity and high purpose President Aderhold loves this University too much to relax in its service I expect to give him my full backing as this transition is made

Faculty Alumni Aid Search for Successor to President Aderhold
The search for a successor to President O C Aderhold of the University of Georgia has been launched and committees representing the faculty and alumni have been requested to give assistance
Dr Aderhold will retire on June 30 1967 A policy of the Board of Regents requires that all faculty members and other employees of the University Sys tern who are subject to the
provisions of the Teachers Retirement Law shall retire at the end of the fiscal year during which they reach the age of 67 The University president will become 67 on November 7 1966
Chancellor Simpson has appointed a Faculty Advisory Committee and an Alumni Advisory Committee to assist
him in reviewing and evaluating the qualifications of people suggested for the office of president The function of the two committees is advisory Recommendation of Dr Aderholds successor will be made by the Chancellor for action by the Board of Regents
Dr Aderholds leadership of the University has been
lauded by officials of the University System
At a meeting of the University Faculty Council Chancellor Simpson said
President Aderhold will be hard to replace He has brought this institution forward He has stood firm when the pressures were great And he has zealously fought for
the interests the budget and the freedom of the University of Georgia
In a letter to the President James A Dunlap chairman
of the Board of Regents said
During the period of almost 16 years that you have t been president at Athens the face of higher education
has changed and your leadership has contributed greatly toward making the face look better The growth of the t University not only in size of enrollment and extent
of physical facilities but also in quality and scope of instruction research and serviceshas been distinctly a credit to Georgia It has served us well as the State has begun emerging as a truly important entity nationally in economic and social matters at least as important this growth is a solid base upon which we can go on to build excellence in a growing number of fields of higher education in the future
Dr Aderhold has been president of the University since September 1950 Previously he served on the faculty
as professor and dean of the College of Education 194650 as professor of education 193646 and as associate professor of education 192936 He was the principal of Martin Institute Jefferson 192326
A native of Lavonia he received the BSA degree education and the MS degree education from the University of Georgia and the PhD degree higher education from Ohio State University

Progress Need Reviewed
In five years since 1960 universities in the South have increased their offerings of doctoral programs from 690 in 41 institutions to 960 in 49 institutions according to the Southern Regional Education Board
The figures were included in the SREBs review of educational opportunity in the 15state region which is served by the organization
The SREB reviewers said however that there is need for additional emphasis on graduate programs in the region The Souths economic and cultural development will be handicapped unless far more of its students pursue graduate education they stated Only 68 per cent of Southern college students are enrolled for advanced degrees compared with 106 per cent in the nation

Final project budgets have not been established for the facilities included in the new building program except for the addition to the library at Georgia State College Between 40 million and 42 million for the construction program is expected to be available from bonds through the University System Building Authority These bonds are to be amortized with 3 million annually in new Authority lease payments voted by the 1966 General Assembly The amount of bonds for each dollar of annual lease payments to the Authority depends upon market conditions at the time the bonds are sold
Some of the projects included in the program announced in March were previously authorized by the Regents but were not fully funded These projects will require approximately 10 million of the bond money leaving 30 million to 32 million for entirelynew projects
Chancellor Simpson is continuing a study of the need for student housing and of the extent to which these facilities might be added to the new building program
Applications will be submitted for federal funds to expand the building program beyond the amount expected to be available from the sale of bonds

BOARD GUARANTEES FUNDS FOR BUILDING IN AUGUSTA
The board of regents has voted to put up an additional 1815588 from the University Systems building funds if necessary to guarantee construction of a 98 million classroomlaboratoryresearchgraduate education building
at the Medical College of Georgia
The building will involve the largest amount ever expended for a facility constructed by the University System
Money previously committed includes 4500000 from the University Systems building funds approved in March 1964 and a federal grant of 3540252 from the Health Professions Education Branch of the U S Department of Health Education and Welfare The latter amount was offered recently with the stipulation that an additional 1815588 was to be provided to complete the project as proposed when the applications for federal grants were submitted
The Regents hope to obtain the additional money through a grant of federal funds from the National Institutes of Health of the U S Department of Health Education and Welfare An application for 1815588 from this source has been approved However the priority of the project was not high enough for funding to be approved for the 196667 fiscal year Information available indicates that the grant can possibly be funded during the 196768 fiscal year the Regents were told
If the grant from the National Institutes of Health is funded as anticipated the funds authorized by the Regents in March will not be required
The building will be a key facility in the growth of the Medical College
New Plan at University Brings Additional Positions
Reorganization of the public relations and alumni programs of the University of Georgia has been approved f by the Board of Regents
The action authorized the creation of an Office of University Relations and an Office of Development and authorized the position of dean of university relations and the position of director of development
The appointment of Louis T Griffith as dean of university relations effective on April 1 1966 was approved Mr Griffith has been associated with the University of Georgia since 1949 He has been assistant to the president since July 1956
The dean of university relations working directly with the president will coordinate under the Office of University Relations the activities of the existing Office of Public Relations and Office of Alumni Relations and the newlyauthorized Office of Development
The Office of Alumni Relations is to be brought under the umbrella of the University as of January 1 1967 Operating expenses of the Office of Alumni Relations will continue to be budgeted against gifts to the University The University will continue to supplement the budget of this office providing space for operations and additional staff support through the Office of Public Relations
The Office of Development will be underwritten by the University of Georgia Foundation for the first year
The reorganization is an outgrowth of a study of alumni programs by a committee appointed in June 1964 by the president of the University Alumni Society
The reorganization plan was drawn up with the assistance of a committee of consultants It was subsequently adopted by the University administration and approved by the board of managers of the Alumni Society and the board of trustees of the Foundation before being submitted to the Board of Regents by Chancellor Simpson

Concentration of Funds for Better Law School Related to System Needs
Improvements costing a million dollars authorized in March by the Board of Regents are expected to make the library of the University of Georgia one of the best in the nation
The expenditure has been described as an example of deliberate concentration of resources which also must be applied to other University System programs as appropriate to bring changes for setting and achieving higher standards
The Board of Regents in March authorized the project budget for the addition to a building of the School of Law to be increased 1 million with the extra amount to be used for books and stacks The addition to the building has been under construction for several months Following the Regents most recent action the project budget is 3875804 which is being derived from the 1963 bond issue of the University System Building Authority The addition will contain an area of approximately 98710 square feet An additional area of 16576 square feet in the existing building of the School of Law is being renovated
The acquisition of the additional library holdings will under todays standards raise the law library at the University of Georgia from the present rank of 68th to 16th among the law school libraries of the nation according to a statement from the Regents That would be a ranking surpassing all in the South except that of the University of Virginia the statement indicated
The filling of the privatelyendowed Chairs in Law with outstanding scholars the reestablishment of the graduate program in law currently suspended and the publication of a GEORGIA LAW REVIEW demand a law library of the first rank the Regents said
The first issue of the GEORGIA LAW REVIEW is planned for the fall of 1966
An increase of enrollment in the School of Law from 200 in 1965 to 500 in 1970 is projected The number of faculty members is expected to increase from 13 this year to 25 in 1970
In commenting on the library and other improvements in the School of Law Chancellor Simpson said the developments are examples of how funds must be concentrated in various programs in the University System in order to achieve desired improvement of quality in education
At a meeting in Athens following the March meeting of the Regents the Chancellor said
This principle of deliberate concentration of resources is used in order to achieve in the quality of work of a selected area what the physicists would call a quantum change A quantum change is really a change in kind
In the case of the Law School this change will be reflected in the standards of admission in the rigor of instruction and testing and in the enrichment of the faculty But preeminently it must be reflected in the intensity of interest in the law in all of its meaning in the awareness and devotion to the law as the means by which the best form of government yet devised operates and in a faith in the law as the means for that necessary accommodation to change which also is a part of life
Concentration of funds for the law school library endows all of us with a special responsibility Chancellor Simpson said We can do this only as we are willing and able to do two things
provide the resources for concentration in other areas of the University of Georgia and at other institutions as appropriate
provide the resources to educate the great avalanche of young Georgians who are knocking at the doors of all of the institutions of the University System
At the meeting the Chancellor said that the University of Georgia had developed true university status under President O C Aderholds leadership The institution has the structure the undergraduate and graduate degree programs the students and the faculty to perform as a university he said
Universities like individuals must do their own work exact their own discipline and draw strength from their particular circumstances To imitate is to reflect a pale light We must meet national standards exceed them and set them in the fullness and strength of our own situation he added

Conference on Sources of Finance for Small Business
Some of the projects in the initial phase of the program are already underway The cost of conducting the projects will be paid from the Federal grant and the State funds Expenditures for the initial phase of the program are authorized to be made through December 31 1966
The Executive Committee of the Georgia Technical Services Program is now preparing a proposed program for
fiscal 196667 to be submitted to the US Department of Commerce
The Executive Committee has requested all Qualified Institutions in the State to propose projects which the institutions consider that they can conduct to help implement the program for 196667
The projects which are found to be in harmony with the overall objective of the technical services program will be included in the comprehensive proposal that will be submitted to Washington The US Department of Commerce will make the final selections of projects for 196667 the same as in the initial phase of the program that is already approved
It is anticipated that the 196667 program will be substantially larger than the initial phase now being implemented
The Technical Services Act of 1965 sets forth requirements for designation of Qualified Institutions Twentyseven universities and colleges in Georgia have been designated as Qualified Institutions Approximately half of them are institutions of the University System and the others are private universities and colleges The basic requirement is a program leading to a degree in engineering business administration or science The sciences degree must be closely related to business or industry in order to be counted toward qualification of an institution
The Act also provides for state agencies and private nonprofit institutions to become Qualified Institutions by meeting certain standards One state agency the Georgia Department of Industry and Trade has qualified under this provision
Governor Sanders designated the Board of Regents of the University System as the agency to administer the Georgia Technical Services Program The Georgia Science and Technology Commission is the Advisory Council
Chancellor George L Simpson Jr of the University System appointed the Executive Committee which includes four members from the University of Georgia and four members from the Georgia Institute of Technology to establish policies and provide overall supervision of implementation of the program
J W Fanning Vice President for Services University of Georgia is Chairman of the Executive Committee A P Jensen Senior Staff Member Rich Electronic Computer Center Georgia Institute of Technology is Principal Staff Secretary
Three Operating Committees include representatives from public and private institutions of higher education the Georgia Science and Technology Commission the Georgia Department of Industry and Trade and private industry and business

System Seeks Evaluation of Hunter Base Property
The Board of Regents has authorized a comprehensive study to determine whether it would be feasible for any institution of the University System of Georgia to use any of the facilities that might be declared surplus when the Hunter Air Force Base at Savannah is closed
The action was in response to a request by a SavannahChatham County delegation at the regular monthly meeting in Atlanta on May 10
Among members of the delegation were Malcolm Maclean Mayor of Savannah Robert Lovett Chairman of the Chatham County Commission W Lee Mingledorff and Joseph L Gabbard Chairman and Executive Director respectively of the Hunter Redevelopment Committee and Joe Webster PresidentElect of the Savannah Area Chamber of Commerce
Spokesmen of the delegation suggested most often the possible use by Armstrong State College of some of the residential buildings and other facilities but they also asked the Regents to consider adapting the facilities for
use in programs of any of the institutions in the System They noted that the close down of Hunter is now in progress and that the facilities which might be considered to be adaptable to use in education probably can be acquired from the Federal Government without cost after July 1 1966
It was observed that Armstrong State College which occupied a new campus early in 1966 and is concepted as a nonresidential college is about 4 miles from the Hunter facilities and is the closest institution of the University System to the air base
Among the principal factors to be considered in the study are whether the facilities are the types that will be needed in the future development of the University System whether the air base facilities removed as they are from campuses and other existing facilities of the institutions of the University System could be used efficiently in programs of higher education and whether renovations and modifications that would be required to make the facilities useable for college programs could be done economically and profitably to give value at least equal to that which could be obtained by construction of new facilities designed to meet specific requirements
Chancellor Simpson was asked to attempt to complete the study within 90 days

TestingGuidance Offices
The offices of John R Hills Director of Testing and Guidance of the University System have been relocated at Room 728 Hartford Building 100 Edgewood Avenue NE Atlanta 30303
Dr Hills and his staff formerly were located at 244 Washington Street SW where all other operations of the Central Office of the University System remain
A threeyear lease for space in the Hartford Building approved by the Board of Regents covers approximately 1400 square feet
The addition over the past several months of new personnel in the Central Office of the Board of Regents has
Get New Address in Atlanta
resulted in a considerable degree of overcrowding of existing office facilities Chancellor Simpson told the Regents in recommending the leasing of additional space In order to accommodate this expansion it has become necessary to move the offices of the Director of Testing and Guidance to some other location at least until such time as the new State Office Building now under construction at Trinity Avenue Memorial Drive and Washington Street is completed
The Hartford Building located across Edgewood Avenue from Hurt Park and Georgia State College is approximately four blocks from the Central Office of the University System
Actions of the Board of Regents at the regular monthly meeting in Atlanta on June 14 were in several major fields of activity
The City of Douglas was requested to reconvey to the Regents of the University System such interest as the City may hold in property located on Peterson Avenue at South Georgia College
In 1960 the property a plot measuring 100 feet by 176 feet located on the South Georgia College campus was conveyed by the Regents to the City of Douglas for use in the erection of a subsidiary fire station The deed included a provision for the property to revert to the Regents in the event it should not be used or should cease to be used as the site of the fire station
In 1965 the City of Douglas without having built a fire station on the plot asked for additional properties In the interim it was determined that the property originally deeded to the City would be needed for College purposes and after a conference with City officials an offer was made for a possible location of the fire station on the southern extremity of the campus The alternate location was not accepted by the City
The City has made other plans for the location of the station and is now willing to give a Quitclaim Deed to clear the title to the property the Regents were told
Approval was given for the tentative appointment of Edwin C Eckles architect Statesboro to perform professional services on the proposed science building at Georgia Southern College
The building is included in the Systemwide construction program approved by the Regents at the March 1966 meeting It will be constructed with bond money authorized by the 1966 session of the General Assembly
The amount of the project budget for the building has not been established
Tentative appointments of architects to perform professional services on two proposed buildings at Middle Georgia iollege were approved
The architects are W P Thompson Jr Macon for the classroom building and Jones and Fellers Augusta for the student center and food service building
Both buildings are included in the Systemwide construction program approved by the Regents in March and scheduled to be financed with bonds authorized by the 1966 General Assembly
Amounts of the project budgets for the buildings have not been established
Authorization was granted for the purchase of 2501 acres at West Georgia College The land which will be purchased at the price of 830 per acre will be used for further expansion of the College
Funds available at West Georgia College are to be used in purchasing the property
The Regents in November 1965 authorized West
Georgia President James E Boyd to obtain an option on the land from the owner Felix Cole of Carrollton The purchase price is within the option amount authorized
Approval was voted for an easement and rightofway agreement between the Regents and the Central of Georgia Railroad Company to allow extension of East Campus Road at the University of Georgia
The agreement will make possible the construction of certain cuts fills and drainage necessary in extending East Campus Road The extension will be to the south with the additional section scheduled to serve the marriedstudent housing units
Necessary construction work will be done at the expense of the University and is to be approved by the chief engineer of the Railroad
Authorization was given for deeding to the State Highway Department a strip of land at the University of Georgia for use in extending the East Campus Road on the campus Also authorized was the transfer to the State Highway Department of drainage and other property rights to be obtained from the Central of Georgia Railroad Company so that the road construction can be properly completed
The present section of the road constructed approximately six years ago by the State Highway Department extends from the north campus past the football stadium parallel to the railroad at East Campus Drive
Quarterly rates for the parking of student cars at two institutions were approved The rates are West Georgia College 3 and Middle Georgia College 5
Chancellor Simpson told the Regents that a study will be made to analyze the present and future parking situations at each institution in the University System This study will result in a presentation concerning rate structures for parking at each institution he said
Noting the expansion and development now in progress on campuses of the institutions the Chancellor stated During this process efforts are being made to create parking areas to serve as many students as possible Some institutions have in operation a plan for parking Others are making no charge at this time
Rate structures for auxiliary enterprises at institutions of the University System for the 196667 fiscal year were approved The rates covering residence halls food service apartments student health service and laundry were approved after two months of study by J H Dewberry Director of Plant and Business Operations and James A Blissit Treasurer
After a detailed discussion with the institutions concerning the needs for operations during the next fiscal year it was determined that the recommended rate structure is necessary for efficient operation of these various enterprises for the benefit of the students Chancellor Simpson said Most of the changes recommended over the previous years rates are a result of additional amortization costs on housing facilities increased cost of food increased cost of labor for maintenance and operations and the cost of providing more adequate health service in the various institutions

JUNIOR COLLEGE IN CLAYTON IS ADVANCED ANOTHER STEP
A site on the north side of morrow in Clayton County has been designated by the Board of Regents as the location for a new junior college of the University System subject to the arrangement of improved access to the property
The property containing approximately 150 acres fronts approximately 3000 feet on the east side of Lee Street and 2000 feet on the south side of Lee Street It is approximately one mile north of Interstate Highway 75 and just across east the Central of Georgia railroad from Georgia Highway 54
The Regents action is contingent upon the securing by the Clayton County Board of Education of commitments to provide additional ingress and egress ramps on Interstate Highway 75 a new railroad underpass an improved access road and authority for use of a portion of the proposed campus site that is covered by a utility easement
The college was approved by the Board of Regents in June 1965 It will serve principally Clayton County and the southern sections of Fulton and DeKalb Counties however it is expected to be attended by some students from nearby areas of other counties
Opening of the college is presently anticipated for the fall of 1968 Enrollment is projected to be at least 1750 students by 1971
In keeping with the community junior college concept the institution will not have dormitories Most of the students commuting daily will be attracted from an area within 25 to 30 miles of the campus
The agreement for construction of the college calls for the Clayton County Board of Education to furnish the fullydeveloped campus site and funds for construction of initial buildings The projected cost of the initial buildings is 3300000
After the campus development and construction of the initial buildings with local funds the Board of Regents will pay the cost of operating the institution and of expansion to accommodate future growth This is in accordance with a Board of Regents policy that has been in effect since 1958

The project budget of Building No 2 of the Space Science and Technology Center at the Georgia Institute of Technology was increased from 1713811 to 1880646 The increase of 166835 became necessary as a result of design changes including a separate area for materials requiring special precautions and an escalation of cost the Regents were told
The project budget of the research facility of the Engineering Experiment Station at the Georgia Institute of Technology was increased in the amount of 158041 from 2608800 to 2766841 The increase was at
tributed to an exceptional high cost for the utilities to serve the facility adjustments for additional space for initial and future phases of the building increased fixed equipment and increased cost of construction
Authorization was given for an increase from 5149815 to 6149815 in the project budget for the general classroom building at the University of Georgia The increase reflects approval recently of a Federal grant of 1000000 the final one of three Federal grants totaling 1649815 for the building

FOR NEW STATE FUNDS
The Board of Regents has requested additional State appropriations of 44166000 for fiscal 196768 and a further increase of 24376000 for fiscal 196869 That would raise the Systems total State appropriations from 71713000 for fiscal 196667 which began on July 1 to 115879000 for 196768 and then to 140255000 for 196869
These amounts will be needed the Regents said to accommodate anticipated recordbreaking increases in enrollment and to make possible a step of improved quality in teaching researchgraduate education and services throughout the University System
The request for the funds is included in a proposed budget for the 196769 Biennium beginning on July 1
nors recommendation and for action by the 1967 regular session of the General Assembly
The increase of 44166000 requested for 196768 includes 32046000 for Operations of which 18406000 would be for a stand still program and 13640000 would be for improvement of quality and 12120000 for Capital Outlay
The increase of 24376000 requested for 196869 includes 22016000 for Operations of which 19240000 would be for a stand still program and 2776000 would be for improvement of quality and 2360000 for Capital Outlay
The figure for a stand still program for each year would maintain for that year the existing level of quality for all students including approximately 10000 additional students anticipated for each year of the 196769 Biennium
STATEMENT OF THE CHANCELLOR
George L Simpson Jr
Meeting of Board of Regents September 20
The request for State appropriations for the University System for the Biennium 196769 begins with funds to accommodate the massive enrollment increases already assured for the next two years It ends with funds to raise the quality of teaching and research in all of the schools of the System from Brunswick to Dalton from Augusta to Columbus from Dahlonega to Valdosta from Athens to Atlanta to Carrollton
Stand Still Requirements for Operations
It is clear that there will be an increase of about 10000 students in the University System during each of the two years of the next Biennium
If we do no more than stand still there will be required an increase in the first year of 18406000 for operations
To stand still during the second year will require
19240000 These are substantial figures But they will be barely adequate to maintain our present situation For to say that there is a large increase in the number of young Georgians who are going to college simply does not cover the situation A dam has broken All of the pentup forces of the modern world are carrying the young people of Georgia into the classrooms and dormitories and with these young people go the hopes of their parents and much of the future of Georgia
Words can add little to the facts
In 1950 there were 21500 students in the University System During the next TEN years to 1960 there was an increase of 10000 students This was a substantial gain of nearly 50 percent
But in the FIVE years from 1960 to 1965 there was
Continued on Page 2
Chancellors Statement Continued from Page 1
an increase of 22000 students more than double that of the preceding ten years
And in the SINGLE year between September 1965 and September 1966 there will be an increase of about
9000 studentsan increase in one year almost equal to the entire increase of the ten years of the 1950s and nearly half the increase of the five years 196065
The end is not yet in sight The increase during each of the next two years 196768 and 196869 will be at least
10000 pushing enrollment by September 1968 to the neighborhood of 80000 students
It is therefore clear that by the early 1970s at least
90000 students will be in the University Systemthree times the number enrolled in 1960
The accurate estimation of enrollment for even two or three years ahead is hard to accomplish Recent experience in Georgia bears this point out In 1963 the Governors Commission to Improve Education in its excellent report estimated that in the fall of 1964 there would be 42400 students in the University System there were in fact 44500 The estimate for September 1966 was 51000 in fact approximately 61000 are being enrolled at this writing Governors Commission figures were adjusted to exclude inservice students See Chart No 1
Additional evidence of the difficulty of even shortrange estimation comes from the present situation in the University System The budget for the current Biennium 196567 was made up on the assumption that there would be 46800 regular students in September 1965 there were
52000 For September 1966 the estimate was 50300 there are 61000 It was in order not to fall back that the Board of Regents raised fees for the school year 196667
Some of this trouble in estimation has been caused by unreliable information The root of the problem however has been the difficulty in measuring the new intangible forces that each year have added to the college population above the established trends The survival of pupils in the public schools is on the upswing producing a larger proportion of high school graduates Each year an increasing proportion of high school graduates go to college as both students and parents seize the opportunity and as the new and enlarged schools of the System provide the facilities More and more young people bring to college a strong purpose to remain more and more go into professional and graduate schools and more and more people return to school parttime as at Georgia State College Of particular importance is the fact that it appears that Georgia is now showing a net gain because of migration in contrast to previous years
Georgia is simply moving to catch up with the Nation The best estimates indicate that in the United States as a whole college enrollment is about 45 percent of the college age population ages 1825 and is increasing about 1 Vi
percentage points per year In Georgia the figure is about 26 percent and is still growing If today Georgia were at the national average there would be some 99000 students enrolled in the University System and an additional 43000 in Georgias private colleges If we make the assumption that by 1970 Georgia will have reached the current 196566 national average of 45 percent then by 1970 we will have 110000 students In 1975 we could expect 132000 in the University System Whether Georgia will move exactly that far that fast may be debated but that Georgia is moving steadily to such a point is beyond doubt We have gone up one percentage point in each of the last five years but are still next to the lowest among Southern states We are dealing with fact not theory
Coming back now to the estimate for next year 196768 and the following year 196869 we begin with the fact that there has been an increase of about 9000 for the current year an increase of about 17 percent A similar increase for 196768 must be assumed and this will produce the 10000 being estimated Next years graduating high school class will be larger by about 1500 students we will have an increased effect from veterans coming to school on the new GI Bill we will have continued increases in the graduate and professional schools we will have increases in the new teachers programs at Georgia State West Georgia and Valdosta and from the new nursing programs at Armstrong Albany Georgia State Columbus Abraham Baldwin and the Womans College there will be increases occasioned by the opening this fall of the Gainesville Albany and Kennesaw Junior Colleges in 1967 of the Dalton Junior College and in 1968 of the Bibb County and Clayton County junior colleges Indeed all elements of the situation point upward
It is on this realistic basis therefore that the estimate of 10000 additional students for 196768 is made For the year 196869 a similar estimate is made at this time should it appear from hard evidence 12 months from now that this estimate is too low then that fact can be brought to the attention of the Governor and the Legislature
The stand still figure for operations includes a 10 percent salary increase for each of the two years This is the increase required to meet the competition of raises expected elsewhere in the Nation and to continue the very modest gains of recent years toward parity with the outstanding institutions of the South
Funds for Improved Quality
To stand still is not enough For despite the quite substantial gains of recent years the University System has yet to reach the overall level of quality consistent with the needs of the State and the capacity of the people
The following is a discussion of certain areas in which

improved quality should be achieved during Biennium
196769 This will require an additional 13640000 in the first year and an additional 2776000 in the second year
Teacher Training
Teacher training both for undergraduates and graduates is in a critical state in Georgia The facts are grim but they cannot be avoided In 1965 Georgia produced 2413 teachers compared to 5236 in North Carolina 4101 in Tennessee and 3044 in Alabama Only South Carolina produces fewer teachers than Georgia The following

The growth in enrollment shown here is one of the chief factors considered in the Regents request for large increases in State appropriations to the University System of Georgia for the Biennium 196769 Most projections of enrollment in the University Systems institutions for recent years have been exceeded by substantial numbers of students The rate of increase in enrollment for these Georgia universities and colleges is now approximately
double the rate for the Nations institutions of higher education The projections of the Governors Commission to Improve Education made in 1963 as shown above were close to the University Systems projections made at approximately that same time The Systems projections have been updated and these latest projections are shown

Chancellors Statement Continued from Page 3
Georgia only some 8000 have had graduate training Graduate training does not necessarily make a good teacher Neither is it likely to damage a good teacher Graduate training does however add to the teachers knowledge of subject matter and it insures that the teacher is aware of new development in teaching methods
Taking all of these factors into account the Board of Regents has already begun to expand and improve the teacher training program in the System and is asking for additional funds to continue At the University of Georgia where among the state universities of the Nation an outstanding program in teacher training has been maintained the amount of 3500000 in bond funds has been authorized for the construction of a new College of Education building As one of the few new programs authorized during the past year a Master of Education degree is being installed at Georgia State College in the Atlanta area where a large percentage of the States teachers live and work A School of Education at Georgia State College is a necessity and if funds for improved quality are provided this will be done
It is just as important to improve and broaden this work elsewhere in the State to put it as close as possible to the maximum number of teachers President Boyd at West Georgia has been authorized to plan a Masters program in Education in anticipation of funds President Martin at Valdosta State has been authorized to expand his program At Georgia Southern where a very good program has been in operation many years authorization was given during the past year to add additional subject matter courses at the expense of method coursesa move in the right direction This move at Georgia Southern will require additional support at the graduate level in subject matter areas At least one million dollars could properly be spent in this area
Improved teacher training is all the more important because education in Georgia is not divisible between the public schools and the University System Both deal with the same student of the same parents from the same community The education of this student is one continuous effort one stage depends upon all the stages that have gone before The level and success of college and university work are largely dependent upon the quality of elementary and secondary work
There are individual exceptions But as a rule the student who has not studied and learned steadily all along the route will have great difficulty in college and university Those students whose high school records and college entrance examinations are quite low in comparison to other students at any particular school will as a group do poorly and the great majority will fail This is not the result of any deliberate policy of hard grading but is rather the same outcome appearing in education as in any other field when preparation is inadequate
The truth of this statement is borne out by concrete experience in the University System Several years ago many
of the institutions began a Summer Trial Program in which students denied admission in the regular fall term were admitted to summer school If their work was satisfactory during the summer they were continued into the regular term The results have not been encouraging During the summer of 1965 1247 students entered the Summer Trial Program Just slightly more than half 646survived to enter school in September Of this number 445 remained in school through the Spring Quarter of 1966 and only 174 of these had achieved a C average Thus only 36 percent survived and only 14 percent showed real promise of graduating
This program will be continued for we must provide every reasonable opportunity to the young people who want to make the effort We must do more during the immediate future as the public schools are improving to help the many thousands of young Georgians who over the next decade will not be able to enter college without a way of overcoming their academic deficiencies We are talking about remedial workessentially in grammar in writing the English language clearly and accurately and in basic mathematics The University System will begin right away to offer remedial work on a concentrated basis during the summer in these basic areas Remedial work cannot guarantee admission it is simply a second chance Thus paradoxically quality funds must be spent at this level
Health
Georgias critical shortage of nurses and other professional and technical health personnel is well known A comprehensive State study in 1962 and the Surgeon General of the U S Public Health Service estimated that at least 1200 nurses are needed annually in Georgia while our nursing schools graduate about half that number Other studies have revealed shortages and anticipated future shortages of medical doctors dentists dental hygienists occupational and physical therapists and other types of health workers
In response to these critical needs and in anticipation of additional funds to support new and expanded programs plans have been made to increase the class size in human medicine by 50 percent and approval has been given for the development of a dental school and a graduate nursing program at the Medical College of Georgia and approval has been given for a baccalaureate nursing program at Georgia State College and for new associate degree nursing programs at Albany Junior College Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and Armstrong State College Tentative approval has been given to associate degree nursing programs at the Womans College of Georgia Columbus College Brunswick Junior College and South Georgia College Additional programs in nursing dental hygiene and other health fields are needed and should be supported in the immediate future Here again at least one million dollars is needed to make a substantial step forward

Attention to the Individual Student
When we talk about improving the quality of education we must know what we are talking about Education is neither a collection of facts nor a set of theories Nor is it a diploma clutched in the hand Education is found at that moment when the student exerts his mind and character to learn for himself when he becomes not a spectator but a real player in the game taking the bumps with the successes Education is a part of life or it is nothing
There is no magic formula for bringing a student to learn in this way But the essential element is the good demanding teacher The good teacher must himself have learned in this way so that he can recognize and nurture this process in the student Beyond that he must have the best of training and he must have both the time and resources to work with his students in a patient manner
There is much good teaching in the University System far more than is perhaps generally recognized But the explosive growth both in students and in new institutions has stretched time and people thin In some cases the necessity has caused the merely adequate to be recruited
The University System is composed of a number of relatively small institutions which provide a basic organization conducive to studentfaculty interaction and stimulation and offer the opportunity to avoid the problems of bigness prevalent in other states The geographic dispersion of the 27 schools of the System over the State is a major strength in the life of the State
To capitalize on this opportunity faculty members must have time to work with students both within and outside the classroom Class size must be reduced toward a desirable level so that teachers may have the opportunity to know their students Time must be allowed for teachers to work with students in small groups and individually This can be achieved by providing more qualified teachers than has been possible in the past A good start toward this goal costing some 2000000 would be the addition of 130 faculty positions above the stand still requirements
We must add more faculty in order that proper time and attention can be given to the students we must raise salaries so that the young people of Georgia can have the best teachers available and we must get the teaching resources necessary
Library Books
Among these resources perhaps the more critical problem is the shortage of library books
The library holdings of an institution are the most basic resources for learning Few things thwart the learning of students as effectively as the absence of needed library resources The heart of any good college is the college library
As of June 1965 University System institutions had a composite deficit of 1400000 library volumes when compared with standards recommended by the American Li
brary Association The University of Georgia has about
700000 volumes and Georgia Tech has about 400000 volumes compared to the University of Florida 1087000 the University of Virginia 1200000 and Duke University
1700000 Brunswick Junior College has about 8000 volumes where 20000 are needed Albany State College is some 25000 volumes short of minimum standards
New junior colleges and colleges in transition to senior college status face monumental tasks of acquiring adequate library resources for the programs of study being offered
The necessity for increasing library acquisitions is further accelerated by the rapid discovery of new knowledge and the increasing numbers of learned publications released each year
Estimates of current University System library needs would cost approximately 11000000 Increases in University System enrollment and the rapid expansion of fields of knowledge will increase this need figure considerably
In preparing budgets for the current year the Board of Regents through direct efforts was able to increase the annual operating library acquisition budget by fifty percent Little more than this increase can be anticipated from the stand still figures for next year At least two additional million dollars should be allocated for this purpose
In addition to the increased library facilities and resources which serve as tools of improved scholarship we must also have expanded and adequately equipped laboratory space It is in these areas that the student comes to explore and to prove subject matter for himself under the guidance of his instructor It is here that some of the most valuable and lasting learning occurs Today we are exploring at a depth not perceived when most current facilities were planned Ten years ago the electron microscope was considered to be an instrument of such sophistication that only one was needed per institution Today the electron microscope is considered to be an essential piece of teaching and research equipment at the departmental level Gas chromatographs recording spectrophotometers and other pieces of analytical instrumentation are additional examples of many which could be cited in the same category These are expensive items but today they are no longer luxuriesthey are necessities for successful instruction For instance at Georgia Tech alone 2000000 would be required for the purchase of instruments to bring the teaching and research programs to a level deemed adequate by the faculty This need is replicated at other units of the system
Quality at the University and Tech
There is a special need at the University of Georgia and at Georgia Tech for quality funds These two institutions at the present not only conduct large undergraduate programs they carry out the vast majority of the graduate training and research in the University System These two schools are therefore competing now across the board with

Chancellors Statement Continued from Page 5
the best universities in the South and in the Nation They are or should be setting increasingly rigorous standards throughout the System They are the spearhead of public education in Georgia Not in the near term certainly will the general quality of public education in Georgia exceed that at the University and at Tech These institutions should be the first to reach the front rank of American universities
The need at these institutions is not primarily for new programs or for general facilities or for general expansion The way to the top in the university world is through the development of individual departments or interdepartmental programs of distinctionunits that rank among the top ten or twenty in the Nation In such departments several senior scholars and a larger number of able younger faculty members and graduate students establish a high level of undergraduate instruction and of graduate training and research It is to such departments and programs that the abler students first apply and toward which grant funds flow for special instruction and research It is such departments that carry quality work through the years and give sound direction to the institutions of which they are a part
And finally the building of such departments and areas of excellence is the quickest and most economical way of raising the overall quality of the University and Georgia Tech and of the System generally
With these facts in mind a letter was sent on April 8 1966 to the presidents of the University and Georgia Tech which stated in part Will each of you therefore in
preparing your budget proposals for the Biennium 196769 indicate those areas of your institution where the concentration of resources would be of greatest value in extending present strength In order to consider this matter properly it will be necessary to indicate how additional resources would be used the level of staff improvement to be attained and the measures of progress to be used in judging results
Both presidents are working on this approach
An example of its implementation is the Proposal for Development of the Biological Sciences made by the University of Georgia this month to the National Science Foundation This proposal pools the competence of all departments at the University with depth in the biological sciences in an effort to develop an outstanding center of research and graduate training The National Science Foundation is being asked to provide 3218800 to initiate the project This will only be a beginning and in fact we must stand ready to develop such programs even without outside help Such investments are essential if we are to meet the challenge of providing quality education
Economic Advance Through Quality
There is yet another compelling reason for reaching high national standing at these two institutions Science and
technology have become a necessary part of economic growth The South has lagged behind Georgia has lagged in large part because the advances in science and technology have occurred in the Northeast Midwest and West the advances have first been put to use there in business and industry that have created millions of jobs and then the benefits in branch plants and subsidiary operations have trickled down to the South It is for that reason that in Georgia per capita income is only 79 percent of the national average
We are not talking theory A major economic renaissance began to occur after World War II in Massachusetts in the growth of research and associated production around Harvard and MIT The same thing next occurred around Stanford University in the Palo Alto area of California and around the California Institute of Technology in the Los Angeles area
In the South as elsewhere this development occurred first at the regions largest concentration of research and graduate training This was in the Research Triangle of North Carolina around the University of North Carolina Duke University and North Carolina State University Two of the schoolsthe University of North Carolina and Duke Universitywere and are members of the Association of American Universities along with 47 other institutions across the country
People who have worked in these affairs know that the primary factors in causing a development like the Research Triangle are 1 high quality in education especially in graduate training and research 2 good location with respect to air travel to business services such as banking and to industrial supplies services shopwork and skilled labor and 3 good living conditions for the families of scientists and engineers preferably in or with convenient access to a metropolitan center
The AtlantaAthens area is superior to the Research Triangle in the last two of these factors It was the concentration of research and graduate training at the three North Carolina institutions that made the difference
The proposition can be stated in another way Not until more and better graduate training and research are established in the institutions of the AtlantaAthens area will Georgia secure the full fruits of its splendid economic and social advance of the great strides made in recent years in the institutions themselves
For to indicate the need for more and better research and graduate training is not to be critical of the situation in our institutions We have simply entered the game very late In the Research Triangle for instance one institution began broad research and graduate work in the early 1920s another in the early 1930s and the third in the late 1930s and in the immediate postwar years At the University and at Georgia Tech however research and graduate training were of a limited nature prior to the early 1950s Since that time notable progress has been made Virtually all essential graduate programs have been put in many
6
millions of dollars have been spent on facilities research funds have grown steadily All of this has been accomplished under serious difficulties Even so a recent study by the American Council on Education of graduate training and research in the United States listed Civil Engineering at Georgia Tech in the Good category and three other areas in the Adequate Plus category The University was not included because of a technicality but it is certain that several areas there such as elements of the biological sciences would have been ranked with credit to that institution At Georgia State graduate training and research in Business Administration is of even more recent date but the work there stands with some of the best in the region
But in these matters the scoring is absolute not relative The fact is that perhaps a half dozen institutions in the South scored higher on an overall basis and in the Nation no Southern school appeared with any significant consistency in the upper categories of Distinguished and Strong The study has certain limitations in measuring all of the progress in recent years but its overall message is clear
Progress in research and graduate training is neither easy nor cheap and there is no real shortcut It rests on the good individual working with adequate resources sustained when necessary by people who believe that what he is doing is worthwhile
One of the outstanding phenomena of the University System in recent years has been the growth of Georgia State College in downtown Atlanta This college has performed the daily miracle or growing apace with Atlanta in a physical plant hardly worth the name It has expanded in both size and in programs to meet the real and pressing needs of a great metropolitan center In doing so it has been stretched to the limit in personnel and facilities The stakes of serving the Atlanta area in higher education and of being a partner in solving the problems of the new urban world are so large that an extra application of funds is imperative
Faculty Salaries
In the highly competitive situation of higher education in the United States quality is tied in considerable degree to salary level The 10 percent increase requested for each year in the stand still part of this budget request will not make the University System competitive with more than 50 percent of the Nations schools It is the upper group that concerns us For this reason an additional percent in salary increase is requested for each year for quality improvement
Georgias Own Education
It is customary especially in the South to justify increases in funds for higher education in relation to what is happening in other states or in terms of the demands of an ever more complex and technological world or primarily in terms of the increase in students All these things and more are true enough but they do not necessarily produce
good education Education must grow out of its own soil like the character of a people The proof is clear enough The great universities and the excellent colleges have appeared in this way their number is few and it grows at nowhere near the pace of expanding resources and students
A major advance in higher education in Georgia or in any other state can be made only at homeonly if the students the teachers the responsible citizens and parents of Georgia have the courage and stamina to confront the unalterable fact that education is a matter of individual testing and achievement of the student with teacher and subject matter of the faculty member with his discipline and under the judgment of the academic marketplace of the academic department with the general advance of knowledge of the institution with the best that it can do in time and place
Everything that I have seen and worked in since July 1965 confirms that the Board of Regents the presidents of the institutions the faculties the Governor the Legislature and the people of Georgia are able and willing to carry on this important task
Capital Requirements
In addition to the funds being requested for operations it follows that substantial funds must be provided for the construction of the physical facilities that will be needed to house and provide classroom facilities for the additional thousands of students Also in addition to providing new facilities existing facilities must be altered and renovated to meet the changing demands for the effective use of this space In many instances land must be acquired on which to place the new facilities This request includes amounts first to provide for the new facilities that will be needed for the additional students second for the renovation of existing plant third a modest amount to assist in meeting a portion of the backlog of basic equipment for instruction and research and finally an amount that will be required to acquire additional land for the orderly expansion of our campuses notably in the first year of Biennium 196769 funds to complete urban renewal purchases at Georgia Tech and Georgia State College These requirements will necessitate an increase of 12120000 in the first year of the biennium and a further increase of 2360000 in the second year
Summary
The attached statement sets forth in summary the State appropriations being requested for the 196769 biennium It will be noted that a total increase of 44166000 is requested in the first year and a further increase of 24376000 in the second year If granted these increases would bring the total appropriations to the University System for 196768 to 115879000 and for 196869 to 140255000

THE
REGENTS MEETING
Actions relating to a large number of programs of the University System were taken by the Board of Regents at the regular monthly meeting on September 20
The agenda for the meeting was somewhat larger than usual since the Regents did not meet in August
New Dormitory Projects Scheduled for 3 Colleges
Three new building projects were approved by the Board of Regents at the September meeting and architects were designated to develop preliminary plans and specifications
The new projects will house a total of 750 students
Governor Sanders was requested to use his influence to urge settlement of the carpenters strike in the Atlanta area
The projects and architects designated are the following West Georgia Collegedormitory for 300 women students Cooper Salzman and Curry Inc Atlanta architects
The request followed a report to the Regents which showed that the strike had caused delay ranging from 60 to 90 days in completion of various University System building projects totaling more than 17 million Included were four projects at Georgia Institute of Technology totaling 8976732 one project at Southern Technical Institute 642000 one project at Georgia State College 2516970 several buildings at the newlyestablished Kennesaw lunior College 2993586 and several buildings at the newlyestablished Gainesville Junior College 1929021
The Kennesaw Junior College and the Gainesville Junior College opened in September in temporary facilities while awaiting resumption of construction work to complete the permanent campuses of the institutions
Two deans appointments were approved as recommended by institutions
Valdosta State Collegedormitory for 200 women students W Conner Thomson and Sanders Valdosta architects
Middle Georgia Collegedormitory for 250 women students Finch Alexander Barnes Rothschild and Paschal Atlanta architects
Funds derived from the sale of bonds authorized by the 1966 session of the Legislature will be used to finance these projects
Name Architects Approved for Junior College in Bibb
The new junior college of the University System to be constructed in Bibb County has been officially named Macon Junior College
i L Meyer Jones 53 will become dean of the University
of Georgia School of Veterinary Medicine on November 1 succeeding Fred C Davison who became vice chancellor of the University System on September 1 He received the
AB degree from DePauw University the DVM and MS degrees from Iowa State University and the PhD degree in pharmacology and chemistry from the University
of Minnesota Medical School Since 1962 he has been director of scientific affairs of the American Veterinary Medical Association
At the September meeting at which the name was approved the Board of Regents also authorized the tentative appointment of Matthews Holliday Couch and Hollis Macon as the architects to develop preliminary plans and specifications for the institution
It was specified in connection with the appointment that no financial moral or legal obligation will be in effect until such time as funds are paid to the Regents by Bibb County Commissioners for the construction of the College facilities
Arthur G Hansen 41 has already begun his duties as dean of the College of Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology In that position he succeeds Robert E Stiemke who served as acting dean before assuming a
Continued on Page 4
Macon Junior College is scheduled to open in the fall of 1968 It will be a twoyear community college to which all students will commute daily Local funds will be used to develop the campus and to construct the initial buildings The Board of Regents will pay costs of operating and expanding the institution
Financial Aid Approved for Residents of State
Regents Scholarships totaling 86840 were approved in September for 201 Georgia residents who will attend institutions of the University System during the 196667 academic year
The recipients will attend 17 universities and colleges
Approval by the Board of Regents of the scholarships was a followup to recommendations made by presidents of the institutions Each institution receives its proportionate share of total funds allocated for Regents Scholarships on the basis of enrollment of students who are residents of Georgia
Recommendations for the scholarships are submitted at various times during the year with most of them coming in the summer and early fall prior to the beginning of the academic year in the fall quarter Regents Scholarships amounting to approximately 100000 were approved for 196667 prior to September The total allocation for the year is 200000 which came from State appropriations
The institutions for which scholarship recipients were designated in September and the numbers of scholarships and amounts were the following

CHANGES IN STAFF AT SYSTEM OFFICE
Two new staff members in the central office of the University System have been announced and one former staff member has resigned to pursue other work
William N Perry was appointed assistant treasurer effective September 6 He attended North Georgia College and the Georgia Institute of Technology and graduated from Georgia State College with the BSC degree Prior to moving to the central office he was chief accountant in the controllers office at Georgia Tech He had been employed at Georgia Tech since 1949
Gordon Funk was appointed assistant treasurer for systems and procedures effective November 1 Since May 1964 he has been the comptroller of Brunswick Junior College He holds the BS degree with a major in business administration from CarsonNewman College and the MBA degree from the University of Pennsylvania
J Dudley McClain Jr who joined the central office staff as assistant to the chancellor in January 1966 resigned effective August 31 to become associated with James C Brim Jr in the general practice of law in Camilla He received the JD degree from the Emory University School of Law in June and also holds the AB degree from Emory University and the MA degree from the University of Hawaii
Reorganization at Augusta Affects Hospital Clinics
Authorization has been given for the reorganization of the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital and clinics of the Medical College of Georgia The dean of the School of Medicine was designated as medical director of the hospital and clinics At the same time the title of the chief administrative officer of the hospital and clinics was changed from superintendent to administrator
The administrator of hospitals and clinics will report to the dean of the School of Medicine The superintendent formerly reported directly to the president of the Medical College
The status of the hospital and clinics as teaching units of the Medical College was not changed
The reorganization was recommended by Chancellor Simpson at the request of President Harry B ORear of the Medical College It was approved by the Board of Regents at the regular September meeting
The former organizational pattern has proven to have difficulties and was not consistent with that in effect at most medical centers the Regents were told Since the hospital exists to support the educational programs especially the School of Medicine efficient coordination of hospital services and educational needs is essential

Years of Development Envisioned in Planning
Master plans for the longrange development of campuses of seven institutions of the University System were approved by the Board of Regents in September The plans are for West Georgia College the Womans College of Georgia Middle Georgia College Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Columbus College South Georgia College and Georgia Southwestern College
The master plans for these institutions represent planning through a period extending to 1975 Similar planning is also being done for all other institutions in the University System under a program initiated approximately two years ago
The plans evolve from information received from the institutions and with the assistance of the staff of the central office of the University System Landscape architects work with the institutions the staff members of the central office and others to arrive at the plans for future development
For the campus plan of each institution consideration is given to projected enrollments utilization of existing facilities location of newlyprojected facilities student
traffic patterns both pedestrian and automotive adequate parking areas and landscaping planning
Some development already has been done at the institutions for which the overall master plans were approved A considerable amount of landscaping has been completed or is underway in many institutions this phase of the development will be accentuated since these overall plans are now complete the Regents were told in September
Names for Valdosta Buildings
Names for two buildings at Valdosta State College were approved by the Board of Regents in September as recommended by the institution
A mens dormitory completed in 1964 was named Joseph M Brown Hall in memory of the late Joseph M Brown who was Governor of Georgia when the institution opened for operations in 1913
A mens dormitory completed in 1966 was named Lowndes Hall honoring the county in which Valdosta is located as well as William Jones Lowndes who served as the countys first representative in the State Legislature in 1822
CAMPUS BEING DEVELOPED Shown above is the main campus area of Dalton Junior College at Dalton The institution scheduled to open in the fall of 1967 will be the 24th unit of the University System The building construction contract in the amount of 1465000 was awarded in September to Scottdale Contractors Inc Scottdale Georgia The architects for the buildings are Bothwell and Associates Decatur The buildings shown here left to right are
physical education maintenancewarehouse classroomscience student services background and libraryadministration The College is being developed on a tract of approximately 130 acres located on the west side of Interstate Highway 75 on the west side of Dalton The total project budget for the buildings including construction equipment and other essential items is 1935000 All students attending the institution will commute daily

Summer Enrollment Total Showed 16 Percent Gain
Institutions of the University System reported enrollments totaling 32822 students for the summer quarter of 1966
Equivalent fulltime enrollments totaled 21930 students Equivalent fulltime enrollment is computed by dividing the total student quarter hours by 1623 since 1623 hours of work per student per quarter is considered a normal load
The total equivalent fulltime enrollment for the summer quarter of 1966 was an increase of 3073 students or 163 percent over the total of 18857 students for the summer quarter of 1965
The equivalent fulltime enrollments of the institutions during the 1965 and 1966 summer quarters were the following

Vacated Campus Sold on Second Try for Bids
The sale of the former campus of Armstrong State College in Savannah has been authorized by the Board of Regents
Historic Savannah Foundation Incs bid of 235000 was accepted at the September meeting That was the only offer submitted for the entire property in the bidding by sealed bids that closed on August 16
The sale agreement stipulated that the property can be received by the purchaser as late as March 1 1967 on the condition that the purchaser pay to the Regents 1043 per month for current overhead cost of maintaining the property from October 1 until the transaction is closed
The appraised value of the property as of October 1965 was 334600 The property was advertised on two attempts to sell The amount accepted in September was the closest the sealed bids had come to the appraised value the sale below the appraisal figure was agreed to following consultation with the State Law Department after the first advertisement for bids brought highest offers totaling 225651 The first sealed bids were opened on May 17 1966 All of those bids were rejected by the Regents
Chancellor Simpson then asked the State Law Department May the Regents legally sell this property to the highest bidder if that highest bid is in an amount substantially less than the appraised value of the property advertised Attorney General Arthur Bolton replied It is my opinion that if the Board of Regents shall determine that property may no longer be used advantageously in the University System it may with the approval of the Governor sell the property to the highest bidder even though the highest bid is less than the appraised value of the property provided the Board of Regents deems such sale to be in the best interests of the University System

Tenure Policy Change for Assistant Professors
A provision for permanent tenure for assistant professors in the University System was adopted by the Board of Regents in November This was accomplished by rewriting Section IVB of the Regents policy dealing with Academic Qualifications and Faculty Status
The new Section IVB effective July 1 1966 reads as follows
Assistant professors may be appointed on a yeartoyear basis for a period of five years Upon successful completion of five years of service an assistant professor may have permanent tenure upon written notice by the president or his representative
The amendment affects assistant professors at all institutions of the University System
The former Section IVB was eliminated in its entirety A part of it was as follows
Appointments of assistant professors shall be on a yeartoyear basis Teachers of this rank shall have no tenure There shall be no limitation on the time during which a teacher may serve with the rank of assistant professor
Administrative officers of institutions are advised however that except in the case of practice or demonstration schools the employment of a teacher with this rank shall be terminated if within a reasonable time he has not shown that he merits promotion or if there is no prospect of an opening in a position of higher rank to which he may be promoted
The change in the policy to provide permanent tenure for assistant professors does not affect faculty members of other ranks
Professors and associate professors serve on a probationary basis for a period of two years with permanent tenure after that period
Instructors are appointed on a yeartoyear basis but shall not serve with the rank of instructor for a period longer than five years
The change in the tenure policy for assistant professors was recommended to the Regents by the University System Advisory Council The Council includes the presidents and other representatives from all institutions in the University System

COMPUTERS GIVEN ROLE IN COLLEGE PLANNING
Computers will be used extensively in the development of the Macon Junior College a unit of the University System
The Board of Regents in November voted to enter into a contract with a Michigan firm Planning and Consulting for Education for services to be rendered in developing plans for the institution
The services will includebut will not be restricted to developing a master site plan determining general and specialized space needs developing the educational specifications for all facilities and advising the Regents staff and the architect in developing preliminary plans and final plans for facilities
The determination of space needs and the development of educational specifications will be based on a computer analysis of space needs Chancellor Simpson said
This will be the first time for computers to be used for such a large role in development of new institutions of the University System However the idea is not entirely new The first use of computers in determining space needs for new colleges was by the St Louis Missouri Junior College District in planning three new junior college campuses and more recently by the Oakland Community College District
in Michigan the Chancellor stated This approach resulted in considerable savings in the construction of these facilities
The men who developed plans using computers in the development of the Missouri and Michigan colleges will work on the Macon Junior College project as consultants They are President John E Tirrell of Oakland Community College District and President Joseph P Cosand of the St Louis Junior College District
For the services rendered the Regents will pay Planning and Consulting for Education onehalf of one percent of the cost of constructing and furnishing the facilities of the college or 15000 whichever is greater with the maximum payment not to exceed 20000
Macon Junior College will be developed as a twoyear nonresidential institution Local funds already approved in a bond referendum will be used to provide a fullydeveloped campus site and initial buildings The Board of Regents will pay all costs of operation and will provide facilities required for expansion
Architects have been appointed to develop preliminary plans and specifications for the buildings and engineering services have been authorized
