Howard Jordan Jr University System vice chancellor for services said in making the consolidated report for the institutions that the activity totaled 1708674 participanthours for the 1974 period compared with 1683343 participanthours for the 1973 period
The programs for which the report was made included short courses seminars workshops conferences and other similar nondegree continuing education activities

The CEUs awarded were equivalent to the enrollment in regular collegecredit degree programs of 11253 equivalent fulltime students in the SeptemberNovember 1974 period compared with 11065 equivalent fulltime students in the corresponding three months of 1973
A University Systemwide reporting procedure provides for the awarding of one CEU for 10 hours of participation in a program offered for such credit A small number of the reported nondegree continuing education activities were not offered for CEU credit Dr Jordan explained Also some of the activities that were offered for CEU credit were jointly conducted and therefore the awarding of the CEUs was shared by the institutions jointly making the offerings he said
For the 1973 and 1974 report periods the number of participants counted represents the total number of registrations and does not necessarily reflect the number of individuals participating For example one person registered in three different activities during a report period would be counted as three participants

YEARS AGO
in The System Summary
Reported in April 1965
A plan for extensive growth of the Medical College of Georgia was approved by the Board of Regents in April 1965 It provided for expanding the School of Medicine to increase the number of new physicians graduated from approximately 100 to 144 per year subsequently revised from 144 to 200 and for the establishment of a School of Dentistry
Columbus College established in 1958 as a junior college of the University System was authorized by the Board of Regents in April 1965 to become a senior college The Regents action stipulated that the conversion of the institution to a senior college would be scheduled so that the first fouryear degrees would be awarded in 1970
In recommending the Regents action on the conversion of Columbus College to senior college status Acting Chancellor S Walter Martin said I do not foresee in the near future any other junior colleges which might be eligible for such consideration Most of our larger metropolitan areas are now serviced by fouryear colleges making it unnecessary for us to have to create additional senior college units We must concentrate now on the junior colleges and make it possible for as many of our young people as possible to attend these institutions
A University System program for offering foreign language instruction at centers in France Germany and Spain was approved in principle by the Board of Regents in April 1965
Thomas M Jenkins was elected president of Albany State College by the Board of Regents in April 1965 effective on July 1
B R Tilley was elected the first president of Albany Junior College by the Board of Regents in April 1965 effective on July 1 Albany Junior College was under development and was scheduled to open in the 1966 fall quarter
Reported in March 1965
James C Owen Jr Griffin was appointed a member of the Board of Regents from the Sixth District for a term continuing to January 1971 The appointment was one of several steps taken in the mid1960 s to bring Board of Regents districts into harmony with revised Congressional district lines Mr Owen had served as a member of the Board of Regents from the former Fourth District since 1961
Hugh M Mills Jr was elected the first president of Gainesville Junior College by the Board of Regents in March 1965 effective on July 1 Gainesville Junior College was under development with its opening scheduled for the 1966 fall quarter

The System Summary
College Status Continued from Front Cover
were also told Even with present restrictions on freshman
admissions the enrollment will soon be over 1300 students
During 197374 according to figures cited in the proposal the numbers of degrees awarded through the School of Architecture were 41 undergraduate degrees in architecture 15 undergraduate degrees in building construction 6 undergraduate degrees in industrial design 9 master s degrees in architecture and 26 masters degrees in city planning
In architecture as in law medicine engineering etc academic status is a serious consideration the statement to the Regents continued At many other universities architecture has college status and is presided over by a dean
There is a need for expanding the sponsored research programs in architecture An opportunity also exists to encourage the growth of architecture in interdisciplinary educational and research programs and to tie these programs to other complementary ones on the campus College status would facilitate the development of these programs
The very large size of the College of Engineering from which the College of Architecture will be a spinoff was also cited The responsibilities of the dean of the College of Engineering include 14 degree programs in engineering and 8 degreegranting fields of study at Southern Technical Institute a fouryear division of Georgia Tech exclusive of the degree areas in architecture the Regents were told
Academic Programs Continuedfrom Front Cover
duced findings indicating a need for the college to develop the newly approved program the request submitted to the Regents also showed
Although five programs similar to the one approved for Albany State College are offered by University System institutions surveys conducted by Albany State indicated a shortage of certified teachers for the EMR program in the adjacent school districts and in the state of Georgia according to the request
The nearest similar programs are located at Valdosta State College and Columbus College leaving wide territory from which Albany State would recruit the Regents were told It appears that this program would have a beneficial effect on the desegregation of Albany State College since the majority of teachers to enroll would be other race students
Gordon Junior College received approval to offer an Associate in Arts degree program in radiologic technology effective in the 1975 summer quarter
There is a shortage of radiologic technologists in the area immediately south of the Atlanta metropolitan area according to material presented in support of the new program Gordon Junior College which is located approximately 50 miles southeast of downtown Atlanta serves the area of the reported shortage of personnel
The Gordon Junior College curriculum faculty and facilities are adequate for the offering of a program which will meet accrediting standards and prepare graduates to meet registry requirements for radiologic technicians according to
the supportive material There is adequate documentation of student interest and potential gainful employment the Regents were told
The newly approved program will be offered through a cooperative agreement with the GriffinSpalding County Hospital under which the radiologic facilities of the hospital will be used for technical instruction It should have a positive effect on the continuing desegregation goals of the University System and the college as there are no similar programs in any college south of Atlanta the Regents were told
Reorganization of School
Valdosta State College received approval to reorganize its School of Business Administration effective in the 197 fall quarter
Under the reorganization the school will have five departments Accounting and Finance Economics Management Marketing and Secretarial Administration and Business Education These departments will replace the three departments in the school at the present time EconomicsBusiness Administration Accounting and Secretarial AdministrationBusiness Education
The newly approved departments are typical of schools of business administration nationally as well as in the state of Georgia including schools at Georgia State University the University of Georgia and Georgia Southern College the Regents were told in the request for approval of the reorganization This departmentalization plan will facilitate the accreditation of the School of Business Administration by the AACSB American Association of Collegiate Schools of Business the request for the Regents action also indicated
Valdosta State College President S Walter Martin indicated that the reorganization can be accomplished without additional funds for this specific purpose the Regents were told
Changes in Names of Departments
West Georgia College received approval to change the name of the Department of Mathematics to the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science effective in the 1975 summer quarter
The Department of Mathematics at the college has been responsible for the development and teaching of all computer science courses on that campus and currently supervises the program leading to the associate degree with a major in computer science the Regents were told in the request for the change in name The recommended new designation for this department would more accurately describe its role and responsibilities and would be in keeping with current developments in the mathematics area in other similar University System institutions
Clayton Junior College received approval to change the name of the Department of Developmental Studies to the Department of Special Studies effective in the 1975 summer quarter
This change will bring the title of this department in line with the titles of the large majority of similar programs in the University System the Regents were told

RenovationSprinkler Project Approved for Medical College
A renovation project for the Medical College of Georgia was approved by the Board of Regents at the May 1314 meeting Also at the same meeting the Regents advanced the status of other previously authorized construction projects
Renovation Project
A project entitled ICUCCUSprinklers with a project budget of 750000 at the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital of the Medical College of Georgia was authorized Also for this project preliminary plans were approved and Elmer L Perry Jr was appointed to develop final plans and specifications
On April 910 1974 the Board of Regents authorized a sprinkler project in this building according to an agenda item prepared by Frank C Dunham University System vice chancellor for construction and physical plant for the May meeting However sufficient funds to sprinkle the entire building are not available and the Medical College of Georgia is unable to provide access for a contractor to install the sprinkler system throughout the building at one time Therefore we have developed a program with the Medical College and with the approval of the state fire marshal for the installation of a sprinkler system in the hospital on an incremental basis
The first phase of this installation of sprinklers will be done simultaneously with the renovation of two wings of the hospital building to provide an intensive care unit ICU and a coronary care unit CCU Therefore we propose to cancel the originally conceived project and proceed with a project financed in part by Medical College funds and in part by 197475 fiscal year Supplemental State Appropriation funds to complete the renovation projects and install sprinklers miscellaneous piping branch circuit wiring new lighting and fire rated ceilings in the ICU and CCU areas plus additional areas designated by the Medical College in the institutions priority schedule
The Regents at the May meeting formally rescinded the Board action of April 910 1974 which authorized a project entitled Sprinkler System with a project budget of 500000 for the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital

Construction Budget Increase

The System Summary
NonDegree Program Growth Reported for System Units
The universities and colleges of the University System offered 1564 nondegree continuing education programs in which there were 1134780 participants during the December 1974February 1975 period The System institutions offered 1355 programs in which there were 1135663 participants during the corresponding yearago period
The consolidated report on these programs was made by Howard Jordan Jr University System vice chancellor for services Dr Jordan reported that the nondegree continuing education activities totaled 1859984 participanthours for the 197475 period compared with 1690922 participanthours for the 197374 period
The 31 institutions in operation during the 197475 period awarded 182500 Continuing Education Units CEUs to persons participating in the nondegree programs which included short courses seminars workshops conferences and other similar activities outside the regular collegecredit degree programs The 30 institutions in operation during the
197374 period awarded 168857 CEUs
The CEUs awarded during the threemonth period beginning in December 1974 were equivalent to the enroll
ment in regular collegecredit degree programs of 12167 fulltime students Dr Jordan reported That number compared with the equivalent of 11290 fulltime students in the corresponding period beginning in December 1973 he said
The CEU is defined as 10 contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education activity under responsible sponsorship capable direction and qualified instruction
A small number of the reported noncredit continuing education activities were not offered for CEU credit during both the 197374 period and the 197475 period Also some of the programs that were offered for CEU credit were jointly conducted and therefore the awarding of the CEUs was shared by the institutions according to Dr Jordan
The number of participants reported in the nondegree continuing education activities represents the total number of registrations and it does not necessarily reflect the number of individuals participating For example one person registered in three different activities during a report period would be counted as three participants
A summary of comparisons of nondegree continuing education programs conducted in the University System for the December 1973February 1974 and December 1974February 1975 periods is included in the table on this page

One CEU is awarded for 10 hours of participation in a program offered for such credit A small number of the reported noncredit continuing education programs were not offered for CEU credit Dr Jordan explained Also some of the programs that were offered for CEU credit were jointly conducted and therefore the awarding of CEUs was shared with other institutions he added

The System Summary
Academie Additions Changes Approved by Board in October
A NEW DEGREE program and four new majors under existing degree programs at University System institutions were authorized by the Board of Regents at the October 8 meeting in Atlanta
Other academic affairsrelated actions approved by the Board at the same meeting included some degree changes at one institution the establishment of a division the discontinuance of a division and the change of the name of a department
New Degree New Majors
South Georgia College received approval to offer the Associate in Applied Science degree program with majors in agribusiness and agriproduction and management effective beginning on October 9 1975
This program is designed to prepare students for employment at the middlemanagement level in grain seed fertilizer chemical and other agribusiness industries or for operation and management of familyowned farms
The program can be offered at no additional cost since South Georgia College has a federal grant that pays the costs of the program for the first three years the Regents were told A condition of the grant is that a program may be terminated if it proves to be inadequately productive the information given to the Regents also indicated
South Georgia College received approval to offer a major in automotive replacement management under the existing Associate in Science degree program effective beginning on October 9 1975
This program is designed to prepare students for employment in automotive parts businesses Graduates will be qualified to fill middlemanagement positions with manufacturers wholesalers and retailers in the automotive parts industry There are no other similar programs in Georgia and only one in Colorado the Regents were told
This program is also supported by a federal grant
The new associate degree program and the new associate degree program major authorized for South Georgia College are expected to increase desegregation at the institution according to a Regents agenda item The student body for the college consists of 20 percent minorities including 19 percent black students the Regents were told In that these programs are predicted to enroll 25 percent minority students they should be beneficial to the continued desegregation of the college
Augusta College was given approval to offer a major in business administration under the existing Associate in Science degree program
The program effective beginning in the 1975 fall quarter is designed to prepare students for supervisory and middlemanagement level positions in businesses in the general service area of the college While the program is tailored for students who will begin employment at the end of two years it will provide a bridge between twoyear career programs and the fouryear program in business administration currently offered by the college a report to the Regents indicated
It is predicted that the percent of minorities in
the program will be 12 to 13 percent in the first two years the Regents were informed In that the current percent of minorities in the lower division is 106 percent 87 percent being black and the percent in the college is 124 percent 114 percent being black it is estimated that the net effect on desegregation of the institution will not be significant
Clayton Junior College received approval to implement a major in accounting under the existing Associate in Arts degree program
The program effective beginning in the 1975 fall quarter will offer career training in accounting to enable students after two years of study to secure positions as accounting clerks accounting trainees or junior accountants
It is projected that the percent of minority students in this program will be 3 to 4 percent in the first few years the Regents were told Since minorities currently make up 36 percent of this student body it constitutes a noimpact program with respect to desegregation
Dalton Junior College received approval to offer a major in marketing and management under the existing Associate in Science degree program
This program effective beginning in the 1975 fall quarter will be offered through the VocationalTechnical Education Division of the college It is jointly funded by the Board of Regents and the state
At present minorities constitute 49 percent of the student body of this college the Regents were told It is projected that minorities will make up 5 percent of the students in the newly authorized program therefore it is considered to be a noimpact program with respect to desegregation
Degree Changes
Armstrong State College was authorized to make some degree changes
Under this authorization which will become effective on November 1 1975 Armstrong will offer one degree through the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science This offering the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in mathematical sciences will subsume four optional concentrations pure mathematics applied mathematics mathematics education and computer science
The Regents were told that the primary effects of the changes will be to offer systematic options in pure and applied mathematics rather than the single major in mathematics currently offered to terminate the current Bachelor of Science degree in Education with a major in mathematics and substitute the option in mathematics education under the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in mathematical sciences and to withdraw the current proposal by Armstrong State College for a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in computer science and substitute the option in computer science under the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in mathematical sciences
The Regents were also told
The proposed reorganization of this program is consonant with the agreements between Savannah State and Armstrong State Colleges concerning their sharing of curricular programs in the future These agreements generally are pre

dieted if implemented to provide further desegregation in each of these schools
This organization of optional concentrations will require no additional faculty to those required for the current programs
Establishment of Division
Albany State College was authorized to establish a Division of Nursing effective beginning on November 1 1975
The request for this new division was based on studies made by faculty committees and it was supported by the reports of University System and National League for Nursing consultants according to a report to the Regents The division should facilitate collaboration with Albany Junior College recruitment offaculty curriculum development and an accredited program the report also indicated
The bachelors degree program in nursing at Albany State College is currently being operated as a part of the institutions Division of Education
Discontinuance of Division
Dalton Junior College was given approval to discontinue
the Division of Allied Health effective beginning on October 9 1975
The discontinued division encompassed three programs small health facilities management medical laboratory technology and medical records technology Small health facilities management is to be phased out on account of lack of enrollment and a change in the method of financing medical laboratory technology and medical records technology brings administration of these programs under the Division of VocationalTechnical Education the Regents were told In reality the Division of Allied Health does not now exist the request indicated
Change in Name of Department
Augusta College received approval to change the name of the Department of Physical Sciences to the Department of Chemistry and Physics effective beginning on January 1 1976
The Department of Physical Sciences was created in 1974 through the merger of the Departments of Chemistry and Physics Based upon the experience gained since then it is Augusta College President George A Christenberrys considered opinion that the recommended title for this department would more accurately reflect its functions the Regents were told

The System Summary
Analysis
REQUESTS FOR INCREASED STATE APPROPRIATIONS
Increased state appropriations to the University System of Georgia for this fiscal year and the next fiscal year have been requested primarily for two purposes to provide two increments of pay raises for continuing employees and to finance additional expansion of faculties curriculums and physical plant facilities for the accommodation of growth of enrollment and increased demand for credit and noncredit programs
The amounts being sought in requests transmitted to the State Office of Planning and Budget in September are 7609000 in supplemental appropriation for the 197576 fiscal year to increase the total state appropriation for the year from 270868337 the revised general appropriation authorized by the 1975 JuneJuly special session of the General Assembly to 278477337
378143205 in general appropriation for the 197576 fiscal year including an increase of 107274868 over the revised general appropriation for 197576
All of the requested supplemental funds for 197576 would be used for pay raises averaging 10i percent for University System employees for the fourmonth period from March 1 through June 30 1976 the end of the fiscal year
The supplemental funds are being sought to make up part of the loss of funds cut from the University Systems general appropriation for the 197576 fiscal year The initial appropriation approved by the 1975 regular session of the General Assembly was 289398332 That amount was reduced by 18529995 to 270868337 by the 1975 JuneJuly special session of the General Assembly in a 124 million state governmentwide reduction of appropriations in response to lowerthanexpected state revenue collections The cut in University System funds resulted in nullification of all pay raises previously approved for System employees totaling 11510000 and in the trimming of an additional 5519995 from operations and of 1500000 from capital outlay
The requested increase in the general appropriation for
197677 would be used for pay increases for University System employees enrollment growth in resident instruction at teaching institutions operations at units other than teaching institutions capital outlay and other needs
Documents containing the requests for the 197576 supplemental and 197677 general appropriations were submitted to the Board of Regents at the September 10 meeting by the Boards Committee on Finance and Business Operations and Chancellor George L Simpson Jr and his staff After being reviewed by the Board the documents were transmitted to the State Office of Planning and Budget by Chancellor Simpson
Supplemental Appropriation Being Sought for 197576
Effects of inflation and erosion of Georgias standing among other states of the southeastern region with regard to faculty salaries were cited as reasons for the need for the supplemental appropriation for 197576
The supplemental funds would be used to grant 3 percent
acrosstheboard and 7Vi percent merit pay raises to University System employees
Salary increase requests for the University System of Georgia have been historically based on the need to establish and maintain a competitive recruiting and retention position when measured against the level of support of other firstrank institutions and systems in the South according to an introductory statement in the supplemental appropriation request document Available raise funds have been administered on a merit basis in a manner deemed to be of maximum benefit to the state Automatic longevity and step increases have not been provided
The statement continued
It is unfortunately a fact that the extreme inflationary pressures of recent years have eroded the true salary base from which a growth in quality must necessarily be derived For example inflation alone has exceeded total salary increases granted by the legislature in recent years An accompanying table showed that between 1969 and 1975 the Consumer Price Index has increased 464 percent while University System pay has increased 257 percent for academic personnel and 409 percent for nonacademic personnel The table also projected that between 1969 and 1976 the comparative increases will have been Consumer Price Index 540 percent pay for University System academic personnel 257 percent and pay for University System nonacademic personnel 409 percent
For Fiscal Year 1976 197576 no additional funds were appropriated to the University System for salary increases This has caused many hardships for System employees since it has happened during one of the greatest inflationary periods of modern times System employees are effectively working for less money today than they were last year because of the effect of inflation on the price of goods and services they are buying while their pay checks remain constant
Georgias competitive position among institutions in states 13 participating in the Southern Regional Education Board SREB declined from Fiscal Year 197475 to 197576 because many of these states granted salary increases An accompanying exhibit prepared from a survey of the states showed that in the 197576 fiscal year two SREB states Georgia and Florida did not provide any faculty salary increase The exhibit listed faculty salary increases in the other SREB states for the year as Texas 143 percent Louisiana 10 percent Maryland 9 percent Mississippi 9 percent West Virginia 7 percent Alabama 7 percent South Carolina 6 percent Kentucky 58 percent Virginia 54 percent Tennessee 21 percent and North Carolina 1 percent
During recent years Georgias average faculty salary ranking among SREB states has dropped An accompanying exhibit showed that between 197273 and 197576 the median faculty salary at the University of Georgia ranked among the median faculty salaries of 13 major universities in the SREB states one university in each of the SREB states fell from fifth place to eleventh place The figures cited for 197273

Requests Continued from Page 11
through 197475 were credited to American Association of University Professors Bulletins while those for 197576 were identified as projections utilizing data on average salary increases acquired from a telephone survey of the SREB states In summarizing the supplemental appropriation request for the Board of Regents Chancellor Simpson said that it is reasonable to believe that in each of the SREB states between 197273 and 197576 the changes in faculty salary situations throughout higher education have been approximately parallel to those of the major university for which salaries for the four years were cited
Quantitatively the 197475 rate of inflation was 93 percent It may slow somewhat during the next year but in all probability will not be below 8 percent Based on this experienced and projected increase in the cost of living a cumulative salary increase of 1517 percent would be necessary to maintain the status quo with respect for 197475 fiscal year salary levels
The University System is the only segment of state government which does not have funds appropriated annually to provide automatic salary increases for service of continuing employees Merit System employees and elementary and secondary teachers have pay plans which provide for either longevity or step annual increases An accompanying exhibit compared salary increases of University System employees with those of the Merit System employees and of the elementary and secondary school teachers for the fiscal years from 196970 through 197576
We certainly do not intend to take exception to the increases for the Merit System employees and public school teachers
The Board of Regents recognizes that in light of the current state fiscal situation it is unrealistic to redress the total salary inequity described above in one fiscal year It further recognizes that the maintenance and further improvement in quality of the University System requires a continued major adherence to the merit concept of salary increase awards For these reasons it is requested that salary increase funds of 7609000 be provided in the 197576 fiscal year supplemental budget These funds would represent a 3 percent acrosstheboard partial offset of inflationary erosion and a IVi percent increase to be administered on a true merit basis with each increase to be effective March 1 1976 The continuation of these increases into Fiscal Year 1977 would cost 22828000
It is further requested in the 197677 general appropriation request that 25143000 be provided in the 197677 fiscal year budget for the purpose of funding an additional 3 percent acrosstheboard increase to partially offset inflation and a IV2 percent increase to be administered on a true merit basis
Requests to further redress the effects of inflation will be made in subsequent years
General Appropriation Requested for 197677
The requested general appropriation of 378143205 for the 197677 fiscal year would be used together with antici
Between 1969 and 1975 the Consumer Price Index increased 464 percent while in the University System of Georgia pay for academic personnel increased 257 percent and pay for nonacademic personnel increased 409 percent according to the University System request for a supplemental state appropriation for the 197576 fiscal year Projections also included with the request for the supplemental appropriation indicate that for 1976 the increases since 1969 taking into account only the present level of funding for University System personnel are expected to be Consumer Price Index 54 percent pay for University System academic personnel 257 percent and pay for University System nonacademic personnel 409 percent

Athletics Continued from Front Cover
guaranteeing equal opportunities for all students to participate in intercollegiate athletics
The text of the Boardadopted recommendations is
1 Steps should be taken by all University System institutions which offer intercollegiate athletics to provide opportunities for all students to participate in intercollegiate sports
2 All club teams which wear the official uniform or represent the school in any way or receive funds from the student activities budget should be governed or approved by the president or his designated representative
3 In the published HEW guidelines 8641 under Paragraph C which pertain to Athletics under Equal Opportunity ten areas of concern are listed a whether the selection of sports and levels of competition effectively accommodate the interests and abilities of members of both sexes b the provision of equipment and supplies c scheduling of games and practice time d travel and per diem allowance e opportunity to receive coaching and academic tutoring f assignment and compensation of coaches and tutors g provision of locker rooms practice and competitive facilities h provision of medical and training facilities and services i provision of housing and dining facilities and services and j publicity
The Faculty Advisory Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics for Women strongly urges each institution in the University System to work toward full compliance with the above regulations as soon as feasible A threeyear adjustment period is granted however institutions are asked not to violate the intent of the regulations and should begin as soon as possible to provide equal opportunities for all students
4 Separate athletic scholarships orgrantsinaid for members of each sex may be provided as part of separate teams for members of each sex to the extent consistent with this Paragraph and 8641 of this part Title IX Guidelines
5 To the extent that each University System institution awards athletic scholarships or grantsinaid it must provide reasonable opportunities for such awards for members of each sex in proportion to the number of students of each sex participating in interscholastic or intercollegiate athletics Title IX Guidelines
6 The committee recommends that presidents be directed to reevaluate their intercollegiate athletic programs with all those relevant collegiate personnel in order to determine the future direction of their athletic programs in light of the new Title IX regulations
Because of the federal mandate University System schools are being required to comply with the HEW regulations therefore the committee requests the Board of Regents to consider these factors
A Compliance with the new Title IX regulations will increase the cost of the athletic programs in the areas of operation personnel physical facilities and athletic scholarships
B Financial support for the expanded programs may require additional teaching positions for released time for coaching
C Physical facilities costs will increase as some schools do not have adequate facilities at present In order to provide successfully equal opportunity facilities will have to be provided or present facilities improved andor modified
7 The committee urges the Board of Regents to give favorable consideration to requests for increases in the student activity or athletics fees in order to cover the added expenses incurred by Title IX regulations
The University System Faculty Advisory Committee on Intercollegiate Athletics for Women was formed in the fall of 1974 It is composed of men and women including physical education teachers athletic directors and administrators outside the fields of physical education and athletics
The committee has met approximately once per month It will hold its next meeting in November

A section entitled Responsibilities of the President stipulates
Each president of each institution shall in accordance with principles stated in this policy and with the aid of the faculty and administrative staff develop administer maintain disseminate and monitor a detailed written Affirmative Action program with an appropriate reporting system to include specific steps designed to increase the number of
minorities and women in those occupational categories where their present employment is less than would be expected by their availability in the job market
The document containing the Affirmative Action Commitment was presented to the Board by John W Hooper associate vice chancellor and Mary Ann Hickman assistant vice chancellorpersonnel and equal employment opportunity officer It reflects fully the significance of the Equal Employment Opportunity legislation Dr Hooper told the Board
While the commitment document sets forth basic policy and procedures to be used throughout the University System to ensure compliance with the Equal Employment Opportunity legislation it is not intended as a detailed plan Dr Hooper and Dr Hickman emphasized Detailed Affirmative Action plans are prepared by individual units of the University System The preparation of these plans has been under way at the System universities senior colleges and junior colleges for the past three years all of the 31 institutions except the recently opened Atlanta Junior College have submitted plans to the office of the Board of Regents and these plans have been transmitted to the US Department of Health Education and Welfare
The commitment document adopted by the Board of Regents in October reviews past and present University System Affirmative Action efforts The Board of Regents directed that copies of the document be sent to the presidents of institutions of the University System and to the Office for Civil Rights US Department of Health Education and Welfare

GAE Affiliate Makes Request On Pay in University System
The Board of Regents has been requested by a Georgia Association of Educators group to use the acrosstheboard basis for allocating all state funds that may be appropriated for professionals in the University System for the remainder of the 197576 fiscal year and for the 197677 fiscal year
The request was presented to the Board at the November 12 meeting by Carl V Hodges Georgia Association of Educators executive secretary on behalf of the 500member Georgia Association of Higher Education a GAE affiliate
Dr Hodges told the Regents that adherence to the request he presented was needed to help offset the University System professionals loss of purchasing power caused by inflation during recent years
No action on the request was taken by the Regents
Boards Proposal for Raises
State funds appropriated to the University System for salary increases in recent years usually have been allocated on a merit basis by the Board of Regents In requests filed with the State Office of Planning and Budget in September the University System is seeking salary increases for System employees at the rate of 10 12 percent for the last four months of the 197576 fiscal year and for the full 197677 fiscal year Those requests anticipate that for both periods the increase would be allocated on the basis of 3 percent costofliving acrosstheboard and 7 12 percent merit
Hospital at Medical College Raising Charges in December
Increases in patientcharges at the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital teaching unit of the Medical College of Georgia were approved by the Board of Regents at the November 12 meeting

Fourbed room rate 65 increased from 55 semiprivate room rate 70 increased from 60 private room rate 80 increased from 70 and neonatal intensive care rate 200 increased from 111
Medical College of Georgia President William H Moretz who made the request for the increases in patient charges indicated that current costs per patient day are running in excess of the charges per patient day according to an agenda item Dr Moretz noted too that costs of hospital supplies and materials have been escalating at the rate of approximately 15 percent per year the agenda item also indicated
When compared with other teaching hospitals in the region the newly approved charges appear to be reasonable the Regents were told
The new rate for neonatal intensive care will bring it in line with the rate charged for other intensive care units the Regents were also told I ntensive care rates at teaching hospitals at three other Southeastern universities ranging from 200 per day to 295 per day were cited
ACADEMIC PROGRAMS UNITS ADDED BY BOARDS ACTIONS
Four new academic programs were approved by the Board of Regents at the November 12 meeting Also at the same meeting a new division and a new department were authorized

The degree under this program will be awarded to students who after successfully completing a predentistry program at the University of Georgia for three academic years are admitted to and successfully complete the first year in the School of Dentistry of the Medical College of Georgia
One justification for this program is that a number of students are desirous of being awarded the bachelors degree as well as the DMD or DDS degree the Regents were told Another is that graduates in dentistry who pursue special work on the graduate level are eligible for the masters or doctorate degree in their specialty A number of graduate schools require the bachelors degree for matriculation in a masters or doctoral degree program
A similar Bachelor of Science degree program has been in existence at the University of Georgia for more than 25 years In this program students complete three years at the university in a premedicine program and one year in a medical school

A PUBLICATION QT THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA VOL 11 No 12 DECEMBER 1975
MAJOR BUDGET ADJUSTMENTS UNDER WAY IN CRISIS
A SECOND ROUND OF MAJOR ADJUSTMENTS in budgets of the University System and its universities and colleges for the 197576 fiscal year was under way in December
The adjustments including reductions and other transactions could have an impact of more than 20 million
The budgets were being reduced by 9 million in the state appropriation 3 million general operations 6 million capital outlay to help meet the state governmentwide shortfall caused by lessthanexpected revenue collections
All of the reduced budgets were being reviewed to determine the availability of funds to apply toward 11510000 required to restore pay raises for academic and nonacademic personnel
All funds appropriated to the University System are allocated to the institutions at the beginning of each year or otherwise encumbered for specified purposes Chancellor George L Simpson Jr explained All of the funds for the cutback and salary increases must therefore be taken from the operating budgets of the institutions except for an appropriate cut in the operation of the Central Office
The budget actions were being taken according to a statement of the Board of Regents in the most serious financial crisis of recent years in the University System
The Regents statement adopted at their December 10 meeting indicated that a thorough review of all budgets within the University System was being made The review was necessary according to the statement to determine
what funds may be available and what the effect of the transfer of funds would be on the ability of the University System to operate its programs and to continue the employment of all personnel
The review was put into effect by Chancellor Simpson through a December 9 memorandum to presidents of all the Systems universities senior colleges and junior colleges
Budget revisions reflecting reductions and other transactions will be presented to the Board of Regents possibly in January for approval
Cuts in Budgeted State Appropriation
The 9 million cuts in the state appropriation were called for by Governor George Busbee in December as part of his move to bring budgets of all state agencies into line with lagging state revenue collections by trimming a total of more than 60 million of the 197576 state appropriations The 3 million reduction in general operations was being made by paring the funds presently earmarked for specific expenditures primarily at institutions the 6 million reduction in capital outlay was being made by giving up all the balance in the capital outlay account that has been frozen in the office of the Board of Regents by order of Governor Busbee for the past several months
The 9 million cuts bring to 27529995 the amount trimmed from the state appropriation originally approved

Continued on Page 6
Administrative Structure Approved
An organ izational STRUCTUREfor Waycross Junior College which is scheduled to open for operation in the 1976 fall quarter was approved by the Board of Regents at the December 10 meeting

Initial physical plant facilities for the opening of the college are under construction

Budget Adjustments Continued from Front Cover
for the University System for the 197576 fiscal year
The original appropriation to the System was 289398332 That amount was reduced by 18529995 by a JuneJuly special session of the General Assembly called by Governor Busbee which reduced state appropriations for all agencies by a total of more than 124 million That state governmentwide reduction like the one called for by Governor Busbee in December was attributed to a situation in which state revenue collections were lower than the anticipated collections on which the state appropriations were based
The 18529995 reduction in the University System state appropriation by the JuneJuly special session of the General Assembly was reflected by budget cuts as follows 11510000 from general operationspay increases for academic and nonacademic personnel 5519995 from general operations for purposes other than pay raises and 1500000 from capital outlay The funds cut from general operationspay increases constituted the full amount originally budgeted for that purpose therefore pay for all continuing academic and nonacademic personnel was frozen at the 197475 fiscal year amounts
Other Budget Transactions Under Consideration
The 11510000 being sought in other budgetary transactions under consideration in the Systemwide review is the amount that would be needed to restore fully the originally approved 197576 pay raises for University System academic and nonacademic personnel The raises authorized by the Board of Regents in June 1975 to become effective on September 1 were rescinded by the Regents following the cut in state appropriations by the JuneJuly special session of the General Assembly
In a suit for a declaratory judgment filed by the Georgia Conference American Association of University Professors et al on behalf of certain faculty members at institutions of the University System seeking adjudication that certain employment contracts entered into by the Board of Regents are valid and binding a Fulton Superior Court judge ruled in favor of the faculty members This ruling was affirmed by the Georgia Supreme Court
The court ruling deals with only those raises specified in written and signed contracts for academic personnel The Board of Regents has indicated however its position that the ruling in effect constitutes a liability of 11500000 11510000 the full amount originally budgeted for pay raises for academic and nonacademic personnel in all categories
Text of Statement of Regents
The full text of the statement adopted by the Board of Regents at the December 10 meeting is as follows
The University System is faced with its most serious financial crisis of recent years
This situation has been caused by the general economic downturn The Board of Regents acting upon increases given for faculty and other personnel raises in turn made its monies available to the institutions As the economic conditions worsened the State had to recall these monies The Regents in turn had no alternative but to withdraw them from the institutions
Last week the Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that the
Board of Regents must pay those contracts containing salary increases that were cancelled because of the action of the special session of the General Assembly last summer The position of the Board of Regents is that this constitutes a liability of 11500000 This amount is the total of salary and wage increases contracted and promised to the academic and nonacademic personnel in the University System to begin in September of 1975
In addition the chief executive officer of the state has directed that a cut of 3000000 be made in general operations of the University System and 6000000 in capital outlay funds that had previously been appropriated to the University System has been taken back
The result of these actions means that a total of 14500000 in addition to 6 million in frozen capital outlay funds is required to be returned to the State Treasury and to be paid in salary and wage increases
The serious nature of this situation is further emphasized by two factors First ire are already operating under a cut in general operations of over 5000000 voted by the special session of the General Assembly last summer Second enrollment in the University System increased by more than 13000 students this year This increase was substantially above budget estimates the System thus began this school year in a double deficit situation as far as funding for students was concerned
A thorough review of all budgets within the System must be undertaken to determine what funds may be available and what the effect of the transfer of funds would be on the ability of the University System to operate its programs and to continue the employment of all personnel
This study is under way and will be finished in about ten days
The Board of Regents has pursued excellence in higher education The Board is determined to continue to pursue this goal
Board Meeting January 14
T Ht Board of Regknts of the University System of Georgia has scheduled its first regular monthly meeting in 1976 for January 14 The meeting will be held in the Boards office 244 Washington Street SW Atlanta
