enrollment decreased by 78 percent
The University System is required to submit to the OCR two major reports relating to the Systems further desegregation plan One of those is a narrative report normally due in August and the other is a statistical report on enrollment and employment based on fall quarter which is normally due in February but which was prepared early this year at the OCRs request The statistical report from which the above figures were drawn will be reviewed by the OCR in order to determine the amount of progress made by the University System in the areas of minority enrollment and employment
Executive Vice Chancellor and Chancellorelect Dr H Dean Propst attributed the increase in black employment and the comparatively slight decrease in black enrollment to intense recruitment efforts undertaken by the University System during the past year
Printed on Page 9 is a summary of the data presented in the Systems 1984 statistical report According to Propst the statistical data included in the summary should be considered preliminary at this time A more detailed report has been submitted to the OCR and will be provided to the Regents at a later date

The System Summary
Land Sale Renovation Project
Several construction PROJECTS received the approval of the Board of Regents at the January meeting
Georgia Institute of Technology
The Regents authorized a new project for the Georgia Institute of Technology involving the development of a mechanical room replacement of existing chillers and site preparation for installation of two main computers and campus telephone switch gear to alleviate overcrowded conditions now existing in the Rich Computer Center The project budget was approved at 1750000
The Board appointed the engineering firm of Rosser White Hobbs Davidson McClellan Kelly Inc of Atlanta as consulting engineers to prepare plans and specifications for the project and authorized an engineering contract with the firm with a construction cost not to exceed 1500000
Design funds for the project will come from the Lettie Pate Evans Trust Fund and construction funds will come from internal income
Medical College of Georgia
The Board amended its June 1982 authorization of the design of a project entitled Renovation of Urology Clinic with a project budget of 200000 and its February 1983 action increasing the project budget to 536783 to change the project name to Renovation for Magnetic Resonance Imager Clinic and increase the project budget to 1 million
Changes Approved in January
Medical College of Georgia President Jesse Steinfeld recommended to the Board that the space originally intended to house the Urology Clinic be used instead for the Managnetic Resonance Imager Clinic because the space on the southwest corner of the first floor of the Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital is the best location for the MRI Clinic and can provide the special protection needed when using the MRI
The Board also authorized the amending of its contract with Brown Sigg Architects of Augusta to change the name of the project and to increase the stated cost limitation from 490326 to 800000 Medical College officials believe that preliminary plans already developed by Brown Sigg for the Urology Clinic can be modified for the MRI Clinic
Funds appropriated by the 1984 General Assembly for renovation in the hospital will be used to construct the MRI Clinic instead of the originally planned Urology Clinic

Expert Says Engineering Engineering Technology Similar
Engineering and engineering technology are becoming more similar in both educational and employment prac tices according to Richard J Ungrodt president of the American Society for Engineering Education ASEE
As the Board of Regents continues to investigate the possibility of providing additional engineering education in the state of Georgia the question of the difference between engineering and engineering technology as applied to curricula and jobs has arisen Within the University System engineering technology degrees are provided by Southern Tech nical Institute and engineering degrees both undergraduate and graduate are offered by the Georgia Institute of Technology
In a presentation at the Board of Regents February t meeting Ungrodt who is vice president for academic resources and institutional development at the Milwaukee School of Engineering said nationwide research shows that many engineering technology graduates are now serving in engineering positions in industry and many engineering graduates work in engineering technology positions
Ungrodt said that although the entrylevel positions of engineering and engineering technology graduates are somewhat dependent upon academic background Once they disappear into the woodwork of industry they tend to rise to the level of their abilities and their performance will determine to a great extent their eventual career patterns
The major education difference between the two types of degrees lies in engineerings emphasis on theory and research and engineering technologys emphasis on practical problemsolving
According to Ungrodt engineering technology programs which have strong math and science bases could be converted to engineering programs which would meet the requirements of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology ABET
Ungrodt whose institution has offered both engineering and engineering technology degrees since the late 1960s said he sees no problem with Southern Tech offering both degrees if current engineering technology programs are

System Summary
Chancellor Asks Joint Appropriations Committee for More Funds
University System Chancellor Vernon Crawford spoke before the Georgia General Assembly joint House and Senate appropriations committee January 31 urging the General Assembly to increase funding for the University System in order to fill some of the Systems current needs
Crawford also told committee members of the progress that has been made within the System and compared Georgias higher education funding with that of other states
According to figures presented by the chancellor Georgia ranks 14th in the United States in the total appropriation for higher education 34th in appropriation per capita entire state population 29th in appropriation per 1000 of personal income 16th in increased funding for the last twoyear period and 20th in increased funding in the past 10year period
The fact that we rank well above the national average in the gains we have made in the last 10 years and the last two years is one in which we can take legitimate pride Crawford said We must temper our enthusiasm however when we take into account the enrollment growth that has occurred in those same periods and the effect of inflation
For example he continued our 10year gain in total funding has been 158 20th among the 50 states When adjusted for inflation the increase has been only 22
whereas the increase in enrollment has been 36 Thus in uninflated dollars per student we are somewhat behind where we were 10 years ago However Crawford added most states are in the same situation Very few of them 1 suspect have been able to keep up with both inflation and the increases in enrollment which they have experienced during the past decade
In his request for funds the chancellor focused on two related areas major repairs and rehabilitation and capital construction
The 1985 fiscal year budget allocates 6 million to major repairs and rehabilitation but a study has shown that three times that amount is needed according to Crawford We requested that our allocation for fiscal year 1986 be increased to 12 million with the intention of asking for a further increase to 18 million for fiscal year 1987 he said Gov Joe Frank Harris has recommended increasing the amount to 8 million for 1986 Crawford urged General Assembly members not to cut that amount and to increase it if possible
In the area of capital construction the University System presented a request for a list of 24 needed projects with a price tag of 79 million Gov Harris recommended that the first 13 projects on the list be funded at a cost of more than

Ricker has retinitis pigmentosa a degenerative disorder of the retina and is himself slowly going blind His previous interest in children with learning handicaps has become focused almost entirely on the visually handicapped
Far from being discouraged over his failing eyesight Ricker has concentrated on creating sensoryperceived sight for others He has developed techniques using ordinary items such as pipe cleaners buttons sandpaper twine and Braille paper to construct tactile models of blood cells root systems and plant stems so that visuallyimpaired students can see with their fingers what sighted people see with a microscope
Four other University of Georgia faculty members have been announced previously as winners of Fulbright grants for this academic year They are Dr Gary K Bertsch professor of political science Dr Murray S Blum professor ot entomology Arthur S Rosenbaum associate professor of art and Margaret K Woodworth instructor in English

Regents Allocate MRR Funds
Several buildings and grounds projects were authorized by the Board of Regents in February
The Board authorized the allocation of funds to the following institutions from the 1985 fiscal year major repair rehabilitation fund
Armstrong State College 64000 tor reroofing and repair to Gamble Hall and the General Stores Building
Georgia Southern College 112000 for reroofing of the library
West Georgia College 115000 for renovation of existing air conditioning for Mclson Hall
Georgia College 114000 for corrective work in reroofing and repair of Terrell Hall Beeson Hall and Sanford Hall Athletic Complex
University of Georgia
The Board authorized the acceptance of a quitclaim deed from the United States of America to two tracts of land located in Chatham County for the use of the University of Georgias agricultural research program
The two tracts known as the Bamboo Research Station US Department of Agriculture Plant Introduction Station contain 46 acres and 43 acres
The tracts have been used by the University of Georgia under a cooperative agreement with the US Department of Agriculture That department now deems the property no longer essential to the federal research program but wants the Research Station to become an integral part of the universitys agricultural research program Georgia Senators Sam Nunn and Mack Mattingly have obtained Congressional approval as required by law
An increase in the project budget for experiment station renovations at the Georgia Experiment Station was authorized raising the budget from 349000 to 393349 The awarding of a construction contract for the project was approved by the Regents with Reddick Construction Company of Thomaston at a cost of 314700 representing Reddicks base bid ot 374900 less seven alternates totaling 60200
In March 1984 the Board authorized this project with a budget of 349000 and the low bidder was Reddick with a base bid of 374900 Because of the amount of funds available for the project the university decided to accept the seven deductive alternates totaling 60200 so a construction contract could be awarded in the amount of 314700 Funds for the project are on hand at the university from proceeds from the sale of land at the Georgia Experiment Station
The Board adopted a resolution requesting the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission to include
Approve Construction Projects
5425000 in principal amount of General Obligation Debt for the Board of Regents in the next bond sale for the state of Georgia The funds from the bond sale will be used for the Georgia Center Addition project at the University of Georgia
Albany State College
A 20 x 120 strip of land on the campus of Albany State College was declared no longer useful to the University System in order to allow the land to be used by Georgia Power Company under the terms of a nonexclusive easement
The Board authorized the execution of the easement so Georgia Power can install a power pole guy wires and overhead power lines
The location of the new line will not adversely affect Albany States use of its property and Georgia Power will relocate an existing line and this proposed new line at the time the property is developed for the college
Valdosta State College
The Board amended its architectural contract for the remodeling of West Hall at Valdosta State College with Blake Ellis Associates Inc DBA Ellis Ricket Associates of Valdosta increasing the stated cost limitation for the construction of the project from 4000000 to 4262000 The total project budget will remain 5000000 as previously authorized by the Board
The amendment was made on the basis of the architects detailed evaluation of the needed renovation work The previous budget had been based on a square foot evaluation

The Board received information on the following items
West Georgia College received 61068 from the Georgia Forestry Commission for the sale of timber from campus property
The University of Georgia received 832040 from the Georgia Forestry Commission for the sale of timber from the Wilkins Farm property in Oglethorpe County
The University of Georgia received 1732230 from the Georgia Forestry Commission for the sale of timber from the BF Grant Memorial Forest in Putnam County
Gov Joe Frank Harris has provided 50000 from his emergency fund to aid in financing the development of the entrance plaza at the Visitors CenterConservatory Complex of the Georgia Botanical Garden in Athens

PROFILE
EDITORS NOTE Richard J Maudes director of the Division of Institutional Development at Georgia Southern College wrote the following profile of a theater instructor who has had a significant impact on Georgia Southerns theater program including the colleges awardwinning student group known as Theatre South
Mical Whitakers theater career began in Metter Georgia when in the sixth grade he was asked to join the cast of Aunt Samanthy Rules the Roost
From that moment on his life has remained one dimensional That dimension is the theater
Now 44 years old and teaching theater at Georgia Southern College Whitaker recalls the footlights and the grease paint that led him from that hot grammar school auditorium to New York Citys Fifth Avenue
During his 20 years in the Big Apple he rose high in the ranks of cultural and theater circles But that in his recall isnt the important part at all
It began for him as it does for most actors by simply being star struck
I was going to New York and become an overnight success I dropped right out of my junior year at Howard University and just knew my name would be in lights before I unpacked he recalls
Theater should entertain yes but it can and should offer a message suggesting social change
I stayed alive by working for a childrens day care center in East Harlem and did all the things one does to get discovered as time permitted
The director of the day care center came to Whitaker after he had been working there for a while and said We need money for a summer enrichment program We simply do not have the funds Youve established an excellent relationship with the parents Why dont we do a program of some sort that will raise the money Lets say for instance we get the parents together and do a play or a show or something entertaining
Whitaker replied But Mrs Gadsden these folks dont know anything about theater or entertainment or the stage Mrs Gadsdens twoword reply launched Whitakers directorial career Teach them she said
And teach them he did
He did the show and the day care centers summer enrichment program became a reality Midst it all Whitaker discovered talent and desire within the parent group and under his leadership a troupe was formed the East River Players The Players became East Harlems first professional repertory theater and for the next 12 years they did shows of significance throughout Harlem and in other theater circles
They caught on Whitaker says with a smile
One of the memories he has of those days is an interplay with folk singer Pete Seeger who was involved in an effort to clean up the Hudson River Pete heard about our troupe and called me one day and said Do a show for me to help save the Hudson Harlem fronts the Hudson You should find our cause important Assist me
Whitaker helped He wrote a show and the East River Players sailing on the Clearwater sloop with Seeger thrilled audiences with their message
The experience with Pete reminded me of my teachings at Howard by Professor Owen Dodson Theater should entertain yes but it can and should offer a message suggesting social change
The Players drew the attention of Nellie McCaslin director of Mills College of Education the sponsoring institution for the day care center She invited them to come to Fifth Avenue and give a performance
The East River Players on Fifth Avenue
When Miss Nellie asked me what I would consider doing I said Euripides Medea Medea she exclaimed Mical what are you thinking of His reply Miss Nellie theater at its best
Euripides admonishes the Greeks about the danger of provincial pride as it relates to other cultures And it still holds true adds Whitaker
The East River Players performed Medea to a packed house standing room only and heldover performances
With that audience response the need for theater which provides social comment solidified even more in Whitaker then on the rise in the ranks of New York stage Let me say however my work doesnt preach It entertains We make audiences laugh cry get emotionally involved But we always try to add a dimension an allowance if you will of the possibility that they might leave thinking a little differently
He continued with the Players and additionally introduced street theater to New Yorks Lincoln Center The street theater project has since been expanded into an international cultural arts festival held each year in August

System Summary
GA Southerns Mical Whitaker
Mical Whitaker
Troupes from around the world audition for a chance to perform With stage and screen actress Geraldine Fitzgerald Whitaker founded the Lincoln Center Street Theatre Festival an annual event which attracts thousands of spectators to the Lincoln Center central plaza each summer
Across the 60s and 70s his career came to further fruition highlighting in directorial prominence at New Yorks Theatre Arts Center with shows such as Simply Fleavenly Medea in Africa Message from the Grassroots and Raisin in the Sun
Then came The Amen Comer by James Baldwin After seeing Whitakers directorial interpretation on stage Baldwin commented Its Micals play
The Amen Corner the story of a lady evangelist who lives downstairs from her sanctuary develops the theme Dont preach too much but take time to love your fellow person
The play toured the state of New York throughout 1970 and 1971
When Val Gray Ward of the Kuumba Theatre Troupe from Chicago saw Micals production in New York she
talked him into directing its opening in the Windy City She played the leading role of Sister Margaret
Clifford Mason of the New York Times wrote A group from Chicago the Kuumba Players revived James Baldwins The Amen Corner which was directed by a young black man Mical Whitaker 1 had seen The Amen Corner on Broadway with Frank Silvera and Bea Richards and also in several revivals 1 had ceased to have confidence in it as a play that would have anything of significance to say to any of us now But the performance of the Kuumba group was astonishing It created a masterly spell that savoured every nuance of Baldwins play The performance had great power There was a freeing of strengths long locked up in selfconsciousness and doubt about innate black worth
Whitaker went on to become artistic director with New York Citys Richard Allen Center for Culture and Art where he supervised the artistic direction of a crowded theater season He directed that organizations Annual Black Theatre Festival a monthlong celebration of the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center
Whitakers extensive travels in theater took him to Europe Africa the Caribbean as well as throughout the United States
For several years Whitaker produced for radio most notably the nationally syndicated Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee Story Hour for the National Black Network and Kraft Inc On television he was represented in 1979 by Cellar George a 90minute Emmy Awardwinning special produced in Seattle Washington for KCTS University of Washington
Suddenly one day 1 looked around and said Mical youre 40 years old Do you want to do this the rest of your life
My mother had died and my dad was not in good health So I decided to come home to the South and be near him I wasnt sure what 1 wanted to do I thought What is there for me to do The only thing 1 know is theater
Today Whitaker is a communication arts instructor at Georgia Southern College where he teaches theater to classes that are filled to capacity and directs one show per year The show for this year is Purlie Victorious by Ossie Davis Set in plantation country Purlie Victorious is the second black play for Georgia Southern The first Baldwins The Amen Corner was a sellout
Five days a week Whitaker steps before a group of college students and begins talking He talks about theater as a medium about acting as a medium about interpretation

upgraded to ABET standards
Another question he raised is whether the University System should put more money into institutions which are away from the center of industry He suggested that System resources could be put into preengineering programs around the state and that students from these programs could feed into current engineering schools Such preengineering programs are currently offered at several institutions throughout Georgia
The ASEE is currently developing a study on the differences between engineering and engineering technology but Ungrodt said he doesnt expect a rapid conclusion from the study It may be 20 years before the question is settled he said because industry itself says We will take graduates in technology and use them where we see fit and give them the engineering title
Ungrodt acknowledged that that however is not the case throughout the country and that the differentiation in terminology can prevent engineering technology graduates from attaining some employment positions and from enrolling in graduate engineering studies He added that industry has accepted the similarities of the two degrees much more readily than have educational institutions

Georgia World Congress Institute Pushes International Business
Dr James Crupi managing director of the Georgia World Congress Institute GWCI gave a presentation on the institutes efforts to promote and facilitate international business at the Board of Regents February meeting
The institute originated Crupi said when a group of Georgia business people approached the governor about forming an organization to educate themselves and others on the subject of international business The organization was placed within the College of Business at Georgia State University and housed at the Georgia World Congress Center
The institute which has a board of advisors made up of representatives from the University of Georgia the Georgia Institute of Technology Georgia State University Emory University Atlanta University Center and the business community has had one goal since its inception to be the center of excellence of international business advice education training and research not just in the state but in the country We have had tremendous success doing that Crupi said
The GWCI Crupi explained conducts five major activities training education research trade development data base management and special projects
The first involves seminars open to the public and the development of international education research programs for trade shows or conferences which are held at the Georgia World Congress Center
It also involves training programs for trade associations and chambers of commerce a reverse executive program which trains executives from foreign countries and an international business fellows program targeted at highlevel executives teaching them how to negotiate business in different cultures and to do strategic planning and marketing in foreign countries
In the area of research the GWCI generates grants coordinates research with corporations and conducts inhouse corporate research for individual companies
Trade development Crupi said is an area where we basically walk a company through a project show them exactly how to do it and help them along
According to Crupi the institute has developed an immensely successful data base which has become a regional beacon for international business development The institutes data base newsletter has 7000 business subscribers he said
The institute also develops and implements special projects such as its international legislative forum which brought together legislative leaders from southern states to discuss such topics as policies in investments and exports
Crupi said the GWCI is considering a name change that would more appropriately identify what it is we are trying to accomplish and will soon be moving into offices in the Fulton Federal building across from Central City Park
He added that the institute is in a position to take a leadership role in what is becoming a global economy in which the United States no longer dominates the international market but is just one of many competitors

Information Technology Task Force
for Computer Literacy Recommended
ogy resources to all students and all faculty members in all University System institutions This work group should be chaired by the assistant vice chancellor for computing systems
A REPORT ON THE computer literacy project undertaken by a special committee was presented to the Board of Regents at the February meeting The report was prepared by the Special Committee on Availability of Student Computers which is chaired by Regent Jackie M Ward and includes Regents Julius F Bishop and Lloyd L Summer Jr
Although the report was presented as an information item to the Board some recommendations may require Regents approval before they can be implemented That approval will be sought at future meetings
According to the report the University Systems response to the advances in computer technology should extend beyond a mere ability to use certain currently available machines and that the goal of the System should be to develop an educational strategy focused not on computers for their own sake but on their use as tools allowing an extension of the human mind into all endeavors of human purpose
The Regents committee also recommended that a special fund be established in the amount of 20000 for the use ot consultants and that travel costs for University System personnel be absorbed by the System
The timetable for the committees recommendations calls for the task force to be appointed and charged in February for the work groups to be formed and charged by the task force in March for the task force to make an interim report to the Board of Regents in July for any required Board action to be taken at the September meeting and for phased implementation of the program to begin in September

The committee recommended that an Information Technology Task Force ITTF be formed to work toward that goal The task force would have the authority to establish work groups to organize the project and would be chaired by a person thoroughly conversant with computers and their uses Its members would consist of personnel from University System institutions and the Regents Central Office staff who have insight into the degree to which students and faculty members should be able to use computers
Initially three work groups would be formed and would have the following assignments
1 A curriculum review work group would examine the existing curricula for opportunities to introduce computer uses in a greater number and variety of regular courses Additionally this work group would present its findings in order to guide the establishment of additional curriculum required or optional
2 A faculty development work group would propose specific plans for educating faculty in the productive use of computers in their disciplines Additionally this plan would furnish us an inventory of where we are now thus giving a consolidated baseline of faculty computer skills by institution
3 A computer resources work group would evaluate the quality and accessibility of information technol
Appropriation Continued from Page 3
39 million We are extremely grateful for that recommendation and we urge you to approve it Crawford told the appropriation committee
Crawford mentioned other items of significance in the governors budget recommendation including
1 275 million for replacement of internally generated overhead funds with state appropriation
2 An increase of 500000 for the University Systems quality improvement fund devoted to the purchase of instructional and research equipment
3 22 million for the continuing renovation of Eugene Talmadge Memorial FTospital and
4 500000 for the Georgia Eminent Scholars Program which will be matched with 15 million from the other sources to create two professional chairs one at the University of Georgia in biotechnology and the other at Georgia Tech in microelectronics
Referring to the governors previously announced education improvement package Crawford expressed gratitude for budget increases recommended by Harris and committee members Gov Harris budget for fiscal year 1986 presents you with a unique opportunity to do more for education than any other General Assembly has ever done The funding recommended for the Board of Regents represents an important part of the total educational package

Progress in Regents7 Test Remediation Efforts at TBIs Reported
Progress is being made in the implementation of planned improvements for Regents Test remediation at the University Systems three traditionally black institutions TBIs according to Dr Kathleen Burk director of the Regents Testing Program
Burk presented a report at the February meeting of the Board of Regents on the current status of the Systems agreement with the Office for Civil Rights to improve Regents Test practices procedures and related instruction at Albany State College Fort Valley State College and Savannah State College
In May 1984 University System officials together with state officials reached a settlement with the US Department of Educations Office for Civil Rights on the Regents Test issue The OCR had questioned the use of the test as a graduation requirement saying that test remediation programs were inadequate at the TBIs where students fail the test in higher proportions than students at other System institutions
The issue was settled when it was agreed that remediation programs and related instruction would be improved and would be more closely monitored
The plan for improvement consists of 10 major components which according to Burks report generally are being implemented as planned
Those components read as follows
1 Successful completion of approximately 50 hours of classroomlaboratory writing reading instruction is now required before those students at TBIs who have failed the test and who have accumulated at least 75 quarter credit hours can take it again
2 Each quarter preparation and information sessions are now available to ail TBI students who will be taking the test for the first time
3 Close coordination between developmental studies programs and freshman English programs especially relating to the requirements for exiting developmental studies is being developed
4 The Regents staff is implementing a monitoring system for the enforcement of requirements relating to the testing program including quarterly audits and onsite visits by Regents staff members
5 A procedure for evaluating the effectiveness of Regents Test remediation programs involving TBI person
nel and Regents staff members has been developed and will be implemented spring quarter
6 A writing across the curriculum program is being implemented at the TBIs in order to provide sustained practice in writing skills
7 Minimum guidelines for composition components of required freshman English courses at the TBIs have been developed
8 Fully staffed and equipped reading and writing laboratories are being used at the TBIs with lab instruction required for students enrolled in Regents Test remediation courses
9 A studentteacher ratio of no more than 201 was attained fall quarter and will be the rule for Regents Test remediation courses An average class size of 20 will be maintained in the developmental studies English and reading classes
10 PLATO terminals and materials have been successfully implemented since last fall and have played an integral part in the Regents Test improvement plan at the TBIs

System Summary
Chancellor Recommends Starting Alcohol Awareness Program
The Board of Regents endorsed at the February meeting a recommendation from Chancellor Vernon Crawford and the presidents of University System institutions concerning a program to enhance awareness of and curb the abuse of alcohol by students in the System
According to the chancellors report The University System of Georgia accepts a responsibility to educate its students on the dangers of alcohol abuse and to adopt policies and procedures designed to minimize the incidents involving the unwise or excessive use of alcohol
The following recommendations are included in a policy developed by the chancellor employing suggestions of the presidents
1 That the University System establish a program of alcohol awareness in which each unit of the System participates with the office of the vice chancellor for student services providing the coordinating function
2 That the presidents of all institutions make public their support for the alcohol awareness program
3 That each institution conduct media and information programs stressing the legal and educational rights and responsibilities involved in the use of alcohol on the campus
4 That each institution include in its educational offerings material on the effects of alcohol on humans and the problems which can result from unwise usage Existing courses in health education should be used for this purpose where possible other courses or special seminars or workshops should be used where health education courses either do not exist or are unsuitable for the purpose
5 That consideration be given to the establishment of a small group of experts on alcohol abuse chosen from personnel within the University System to which institutions or individuals could turn for advice and that this group be under the auspices and general supervision of the Student Services Committee
6 That each year the vice chancellor for student services make a report to the presidents on the state of
the alcohol awareness program of the University System and on individual programs within or outside of the System which have proven to be particularly effective and
7 That the University System alcohol awareness program be reviewed every leap year to determine whether it should be maintained modified or discontinued
Whitaker Continued from Page 11
He talks about sets and design He talks about everything anyone needs or could want to know about theater
During Whitakers first year at Georgia Southern a television crew was asked to do a story on him and the show he was producing It was The Amen Corner The TV crew wandered in just as Whitaker was walking through a scene with a young student
The scene required the student actress to express pain a sense of loss anxiety The characters baby had died and she was preparing to tell her pastor about the loss and to ask Why
Whitaker listened and watched the student struggle He walked through the scene time and time again as the television crew unpacked equipment Finally Whitaker 5 1 1 a thin 160 pounds said kindly to the student Let me see if I can show you what we need
By this time the TV crew stopped unpacking and watched with some interest
Whitaker paused and began moving into the role Suddenly it was East Harlem Suddenly there was grief Words poured forth painfully angrily and with loss with convincing loss
The television crew froze

Tech Report Favors 2
IN a REPORT presented to the Board of Regents in March Georgia Institute of Technology officials advised that expanding and strengthening dual degree programs would be the best of the three alternatives that are available for dealing with the need for increased engineering education opportunities in Georgia
The Georgia Tech report which was presented by Dr William Sangster dean of Techs College of Engineering suggested the implementation of a 2plus2 program in which students would attend one of the University Systems junior or senior colleges for two years then transfer to Georgia Tech for the last two years Those graduating from the program would receive a bachelors degree in engineering from Georgia Tech
Tech officials said however that students who completed the first two years at other institutions could not be guaranteed admission to Georgia Tech for their junior and senior years
Such a program according to the report is the most costeffective alternative and offers the least possibility of widespread negative political response
The other two alternatives specified in the study are I to continue to concentrate all engineering programs in the state at Georgia Tech an option which is no longer desirable or feasible the report said or 2 to establish a second engineering college in Georgia
The establishment of a second engineering school would have as a major objective the providing of engineering education to residents and industry in areas of the state which do not now have access to such programs Creating another engineering school would have the advantage of most directly addressing the perceived needs and would provide a greater supply of engineering graduates who might be induced to cast their lot with local industry Sangster said
The cost of creating and maintaining a second engineering school would be high and was a major consideration in Techs recommendation to the Board Tech officials estimate the cost of starting an engineering school at 22221060 but agree that actual costs would depend on the location of the second school
2 Engineering Program
Additionally according to Sangster completing the process necessary to receive accreditation by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology may take from five to 10 years or longer Initial graduates would therefore receive degrees from a nonaccredited engineering school
The report also said that staffing a second engineering school would be difficult and that although it would be advantageous relative to the economic development activities of the region in which it is created the establishment of a second engineering program in one specific area likely would not significantly decrease the pressure for the establishment of similar programs in other areas desiring the same perceived benefits

Potential Administrators Learn
The first 10 PARTICIPANTS in the Regents Administrative Development Program will soon complete their yearlong internships
The 10 who were selected last spring have spent the past several months at various campuses throughout the University System working with an administrator on that campus in order to get a firsthand look at the administrative activities of System institutions
The intern program is part of the Systems further desegregation plan and is designed to increase minority presence at the administrative level Participants are selected on the basis of leadership potential and academic accomplishment among other criteria
Most of the interns who were all working at System institutions at the time of their selection were assigned to institutions other than their own for the duration of their internships Before relocating for the year they spent two weeks of intensive study of administrative concepts and principles at the University of Georgias Institute of Higher Education
The participants hope to be offered positions in System institutions when their internships are completed They are obligated to work in the System for one year in their previous position or in a new one in exchange for the years professional experience They receive their full salary during the intern period and are promised that their regular jobs will be held for them
In May the interns will return to UGAs Institute of Higher Education for an evaluation seminar
According to Dr Deborah Sue Wallace an associate professor of education from Georgia State University who is currently interning at Kennesaw College the experience has been enlightening informative supportive and extremely helpful and it has allowed us to see all the facets of responsibility associated with our primary supervisor as well as other administrators on each of our campuses
The process for selecting the next group of interns is currently under way
The current interns and their home and host institutions are
Dr Bettye A Battiste assistant professor of education at Armstrong State College is interning at Georgia Southern College
Dr McDonald Huff director of the Counseling Center
the Ropes Through Internships
at Fort Valley State College is interning at Georgia Southwestern College

Liability Insurance Increased
The Board of Regents voted in March to increase the limit of professional liability insurance provided to employees of the Board
The limit was raised from 100000 per occurence to 250000 per occurence The annual aggregate is 1000000
A second change in the professional liability insurance agreement adds two exclusions to the coverage one of which excludes coverage for damage arising out of malfeasance in office or willful or wanton neglect of duty and the other for damage which is intended or reasonably expected by any insured
Total enrollments for winter quarters in the University System during the past 10 years have been 127798 in 1976 123731 in 1977 123788 in 1978 120665 in 1979 120541 in 1980 122058 in 1981 126969 in 1982 131769 in 1983 130152 in 1984 and 128691 in 1985
Engineering Continued from Front Cover
Seven proposals involving 10 University System institutions interested in establishing an engineering school have been submitted to Chancellor Vernon Crawford If the Regents decide to establish a second school those proposals will be considered
Sangster said that the recommended 2plus2 plan would require Georgia Techs leadership and supervision to be successful Tech would establish the detailed course work including course outlines syllabi textbook designations and some oversight of the testing and grading functions and would aid in the recruitment of the necessary faculty and in their training and preparation
A second engineering school in Georgia still may be a reasonable future step the report said However it should await further substantial population growth in the state an upturn in the population of 18yearolds in the state and a very significant increase in the state resources available to engineering education so that a second underfunded engineering program can be averted Continued on Page 15

Regents Approve New Project
AMONG THE actions taken by the Board of Regents in March affecting the buildings and grounds of the University System were approvals for rental agreements new project designs and construction contracts
The Regents authorized the design of the following projects
Phase 1 of a Science Building at Columbus College
An Advanced Engineering and Computer Applications Laboratory Building at the Georgia Institute of Technology
A Physical Education BuildingGymnasium at Augusta College
The Remodeling of Williams Union Building at Georgia Southern College
Georgia Institute of Technology
The Board amended its March 1984 action which authorized an exchange of property between the Board and the Theta Xi fraternity to allow the Regents to hold title to the property traded to the fraternity for 49 years with the provision that no liability is involved for the Board of Regents
The Board had approved the exchange of property owned by the Board at 131135 Fifth Street NW in Atlanta for property owned by the fraternity at 777 Techwood Drive NW but because of City of Atlanta zoning requirements the fraternity requested that the Regents own the property and lease it to Theta Xi for 49 years with the title passing to the fraternity at the end of that period
Also approved for Georgia Tech was a subrental agreement between Computer Park Inc and the Regents covering 10000 square feet of floor space on the second floor of Building 4 at the Concourse Complex of Landmark Center at 1285 and Georgia 400
The space will be used by Georgia Tech to establish a continuing education computer training facility Computer Institute offering a wide range of instructional programs Computer Park Inc will provide the cost of constructing leasehold improvements to that facility including eight classrooms an administrative area a registration area and an instructor multiuse area
Designs Rental Agreements
The rental period begins July 1 1985 and ends June 30 1986 at a monthly rental of 8330 or 10 per square foot per year with the option to renew for nine consecutive oneyear periods
The Regents authorized an owners agreement regarding the title to equipment to be bought by the Georgia Scientific and Technical Research Foundation Inc and placed on Regents property on the Georgia Tech campus The Regents waived any title to or interest in the equipment
University of Georgia
The Regents authorized an increase in the project budget for Phase I of the BioScience Building at the University of Georgia from 7500000 to 15000000 The Board also approved an amendment to the architectural contract with CRSSirrine Inc increasing the stated cost limitation in that contract from 6000000 to 12000000
A 20 x 620 strip of land near the universitys golf course was authorized for use under a nonexclusive easement by the City of Athens in the construction and maintenance of a sanitary sewer and three manholes
Southern Technical Institute
The Board authorized the design of building alterations for the Office of Business and Finance at the Southern Technical Institute with a 330000 project budget Chegwidden Dorsey Holmes of Marietta was appointed architect for the project which has a state cost limitation not to exceed 275000 The project involves the renovation of the old kitchen and dining area no longer in use in the Norton Hall Dormitory to office space
Valdosta State College
A house and garage building at 1415 North Patterson Street in Valdosta was authorized for sale and removal or demolition The house is located directly across the street from the main entrance to the Valdosta State College campus and is not suitable for permanent occupancy

The System Summary
New Degree Programs Approved for Fort Valley Southern Tech
Two INSTITUTIONS of the University System received Board of Regents approval in March to offer new degree programs
Fort Valley State College
A bachelor of arts degree with a major in commercial design was approved for Fort Valley State College effective as soon as the 1985 fall quarter The commercial design major is designed to prepare students for careers as commercial artists in such areas as graphic and design art drafting photography industrial design and display work
The program will combine art theory with the practical workrelated knowledge and skills needed for commercial design careers Courses will be supplemented by participation in the Student Art League assistantships in the studio special seminars and independent study for the advance majors and by practical experience through apprenticeships and internships
All resources and funding necessary for the first year of the program are available within the institution However one faculty member will probably be needed for the second year
Southern Technical Institute
The Board authorized Southern Techincal Institute to offer
a major in construction administration under the existing bachelor of science degree structure effective fall quarter of 1985
The program is designed to produce graduates who understand basic applied engineering principles and methods used in the design and construction of structural mechanical and electrical systems the nature of construction contracts and the principles of management and cost accounting and who are able to motivate and lead effectively
The construction program will be management oriented but will take advantage of technical course work from both civil and architectural engineering technology programs already in place at Southern Tech The new program will also utilize management and businessoriented course work in the institutions industrial engineering technology curriculum
Southern Tech officials plan to establish an industry advisory committee composed of representatives from both the Associated General Contractors AGC and the Associate Building Contractors ABC to advise the college on curriculum student recruitment and graduate placement
All funding and resources necessary for offering the program are available within the college or through funding obtained or committed from the AGC or ABC
President Steinfeld Reports on Activities at Medical College of Georgia
Dr Jesse L Steinfeld president of the Medical College of Georgia reported to the Board of Regents in March on the activities at MCG since he became president in December 1983
Steinfeld told the Regents that MCG has made progress academically clinically in the research area and administratively in recruiting a new management team
He cited progress in the enhancement of recruiting activities in the increase in stipends for graduate teaching assistants and in the renovation of the Talmadge Memorial Hospital
The university will soon construct a magnetic resonance imaging facility and is continuing to negotiate for the purchase of Gilbert Manor a 15acre public housing facility near the campus According to Steinfeld this is the only land that we have available for expansion
He said that he hopes the purchase of the Gilbert Manor will facilitate the movement of current tennants to better
housing and that MCG will acquire with the land an opportunity for longrange expansion for student activities recreation an outpatient area and a geriatric rehabilitation unit
MCG officials have been successful in an attempt to increase the universitys Medicaid reimbursement limit by 15 million Steinfeld told the Regents
Other activities at MCG mentioned by Steinfeld include
Substantial improvement in undergraduate exam scores of MCG nursing students and the development of a PhD program in nursing
The development of a patient care policy
An 8 percent increase in research and grant support for the university over the past year and

Kennesaws Fee Waivers Increased
The Board of Regents voted in March to raise the quota of nonresident fee waivers for sponsored foreign students attending Kennesaw College from seven to nine students
In requesting the increase President Betty Siegel indicated that the growth at the college and the recent addition of two graduate programs justify an increase in the tee waiver quota
Board policy states that An institution may waive outofstate tuition for international students whose matriculation fee and other required fees are paid by an agency of the Federal Government a church or a civic club located in Georgia which has received specific approval of the Board of Regents provided the number of such students does not exceed the quota approved by the Board of Regents for the institution concerned
Once established quotas can only be changed by the Board

The System Summary
Principals Institute Takes Administrators Teachers Back to School
By Pam Walter Information Specialist at GSU
At a time when education is one of the most hotly debated issues in the state principals teachers and administrators in 10 metropolitan Atlanta school districts are hearing school bells ring And the bells are meant for them not their students
These educators are participating in the Principals Institute a program of administrator selection development and research sponsored by Georgia State University the Georgia State Department of Education and the National Association of Secondary School Principals NASSPThe institute is designed to improve leadership in secondary education
The Metropolitan Atlanta Assessment Center one of three components of the Principals Institute trains practicing principals administrators and university and state educators as assessors of potential principal candidates The candidates chosen for assessment by their school districts are in turn evaluated by these assessors on their performance in 12 generic skill areas including problem analysis judgment organizational ability and oral and written communication
By and large school districts look at people who are classroom teachers or assistant principals people who have had some visibility and who are perceived to be people who will develop said Joe Richardson director of the Principals Institute and professor of educational administration at GSU The assessment serves as a verification of their potential success or failure as principals There is a remarkably high success rate of people who score high on the profile and subsequently become principals
Thus far 24 assessors have been trained by Charlotte Robinson director of the Assessment Center and plans call for 48 more to be trained by next fall Twelve potential principal candidates have been assessed to date and are expected to be placed in schools as principals next fall Robinson expects to run five additional assessments during 1985
Female candidates said Richardson are making a stronger showing on the assessment than their male counterparts The number of females who are principals however particularly in high schools is still small 1 think thats going to change and thats what the assessment center is all about If we start picking the people who have the skills to do whats necessary it weakens the political good old boy system I dont care if you have the best faculty in the world if you
have a weak leader you have at best an average school said Richardson
Developmental activities including skill development personal renewal and professional exchange comprise the second element of the institute Opportunities for additional training in a variety of areas whether to strengthen a principals knowledge in certain areas or to broaden his or her awareness of the world in general will be available under this part of the institute The sharing of effective management techniques and strategies between principals from the institutes member school districts will also be an important part of the program
Inservice workshops such as Leadership Skills Health Promotion Programs for Principals and Current Issues in School Law will be offered during 1985 to the approximately 500 principals involved in the institute Richardson said that a spring conference titled Effective Schools Effective Principals scheduled for May will also provide an opportunity for principals to exchange ideas and information on programs unique to or effective in metro schools
Research the third component of the institute will include a newsletter detailing recent research related to instruction and management and participation in a network of principals centers around the United States The network was established by Harvard University and will serve as a clearinghouse for information and will coordinate principal exchanges between states
Richardson said he hopes that the Assessment Center will be developed into a state model He cited the concern of the public and the legislature over the way in which school administrators are chosen as a major factor in support of the plan There are two sections of the Governors Education Review Commission report that refer specifically to the Assessment Center and recommend that it be adopted and used statewide Its the best thing going so I cant imagine that it wont happen
We have shown what we can do this year We have developed an assessment center trained assessors run candidates through centers and weve developed a set of workshops for practitioners around some generic skills Workshops are under way and good people are directing them Our newsletter is under way and weve developed a network with the Harvard group Id say we are a recognized entity and I am very confident that if our model is used statewide it will make a difference

The System Summary
UGA Veterinary Medicine College to Adopt Sequential Curriculum
The adoption of a sequential curriculum in the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia was approved by the Board of Regents in March
The establishment of such a curriculum was requested by UGA officials following a review of the colleges curriculum which began in 1982 The study concluded that neither the quarter nor the semester calendar provided a solution to current scheduling problems
The sequential curriculum approved in March is based on the system now in use at the Medical College of Georgia and is a block system that operates within an early quarter calendar
The main features of the new curriculum which has been approved by the universitys Curriculum Committee and the faculty of the College of Veterinary Medicine are
Thirty to 33 instructional weeks will be provided in each of the first three years and vacation periods will coincide with university vacations Classes will start the last week of August and end the Friday before the second Tuesday in May
No more than four courses will be scheduled at one time and the length of each course will be determined by total contact hours and student effort required to complete the subject satisfactorily Within each year courses may start and stop independently of each other thus independent of traditional quarter or semester calendars and scheduled vacations and courses will be sequenced relative to their logical academic relationships
Standard formulas for quarter credit hours will be used to calculate course credit hours using fractional quarter credit hours when necessary Criteria for assigning credit hours will be actual contact hours required for each course rather than length of a predetermined academic term
Student effort hours per week will be limited to 60 or fewer
Courses will be assigned to one of the four university quarters for the purpose of reporting quarter credit hours and student quarter credit hour reports will be unaffected
Grades will be reported in a manner similar to credit hour reports
The sequential curriculum will be phased in over three years starting in the fall of 1985 Students previously enrolled in the program will continue on the current curriculum
Students will continue to pay tuition and fees on the same quarterly basis as the rest of the university students
The last major revision in the College of Veterinary Medicine occurred in 1973 when the clinical block program was adopted for the fourth year
Regents Approve Lanier Chair Of English for University of GA
The ESTABLISHMENT of the Helen Spencer Lanier Chair of English at the University of Georgia was approved by the Board of Regents at the March meeting
Helen Spencer Lanier has given 500000 to the university to be used for providing a salary supplement for a distinguished professor of English and to provide additional benefits for related needs
Lanier who is the mother of two University of Georgia alumni has a degree in English and taught English before her marriage to the late J Hicks Lanier a founder of Lanier Business Products Inc
When presenting her gift Lanier stated I have always felt that the study of literature and the thoughtful use of the English language are of great importance
We should never lose sight of the fact that we need great literature to enrich our imaginations

Board To Ask SREB To Study Engineering Question
The Board of Regents voted in April to contract with the Southern Regional Education Board SREB to conduct a study on the best course of action for providing additional engineering education in Georgia an issue with which the Board has been dealing for several months
At the suggestion of Regent Arthur M Gignilliat Jr of
Savannah the Board agreed to ask the SREB to provide more information about the engineering education needs of Georgias students and industry Gignilliat expressed dissat
isfaction with recommendations from studies by the Regents Central Office staff and the Georgia Institute of Technology officials
Gignilliat called the recommendations from both studies premature and called for further study by an organization not part of the University System
Accreditation Process Ensures Quality Freedom of Education
By Chuck Deane Public Relations Intern
Free MEN CAN AND OUGHT TO GOVERN THEMSELVES they do so best through a representative flexible and responsible system
This statement taken from the Principles and Philosophy of the College Delegate Assembly explains the main idea behind the educational accreditation process
The state of Georgias recognized accrediting body is the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools SACS The SACS is also recognized throughout the South as the governing force in educational accreditation Five other regional accrediting firms are employed in different parts of the nation
The SACS has accredited more than 750 southern institu
Continued on Page 12
Georgia Tech officials presented findings of their study to the Board in March recommending that the Regents allow Georgia Tech to expand its articulation 2 plus 2 programs at other System institutions rather than allow the establishment of a second engineering school
A Regents staff report presented by Chancellor Vernon Crawford at the April meeting agreed with Georgia Techs recommendation and added the recommendation that the four System institutions which offer baccalaureate degrees in engineering technology be encouraged to conduct articulation programs in engineering technology Those four institutions are the Southern Technical Institute Fort Valley State College Georgia Southern College and Savannah State College
In the proposed 2 plus 2 engineering program students would attend another University System institution for two years then transfer to Georgia Tech for the junior and senior years to receive an engineering degree from Georgia Tech An engineering technology program would operate in the same manner with degrees being awarded from the four institutions with engineering technology baccalaureate programs
Gignilliat suggested that Georgia residents who are capable of obtaining engineering degrees elsewhere but cannot meet Georgia Techs high admission standards must leave the state to get engineering degrees while exceptionally qualified outofstate students who can gain admission to Georgia Tech leave the state after graduation therefore not filling Georgias industry needs for engineers He raised the question of how those Georgians who cannot meet Techs requirements would perform in a 2 plus 2 program at Georgia Tech
He also said the increasing 2 plus 2 engineering programs would still require students from all areas of the state to attend school at Georgia Tech in order to receive their engineering degrees
Gignilliat suggested that the SREB look into the implications of devoting state resources to educate exceptionally qualified outofstate students largely destined to leave the

Medical Records Exercise Science Among Degrees Approved
Several new degree programs were authorized by the Board of Regents at the April meeting
Georgia State University
Georgia State University was authorized to offer a bachelor of science degree in medical records administration effective September 1986
GSUs information systems management and health administration programs will provide a base for coursework for the medical records program Emory University which recently discontinued its medical records program will provide GSU more than 400 volumes from its medical record library
The budget requirements are expected to be 71000 the first year rising to 110000 in the third year Financial support will be sought from grant sources as well as private sources to initiate the program
The program is designed to implement a medical records curriculum that would place 30 practitioners per year into the health care system in the metropolitan Atlanta area and to provide nontraditional educational opportunities for minorities and older students
The program is expected to receive professional accreditation
University of Georgia
A major in exercise and sport science under the existing bachelor of science degree in education was approved for the University of Georgia effective fall quarter 1985 The major will serve as an alternative to the existing physical education program which is focused on public school teaching and thus limited by State Department of Education requirements
The major is designed to respond to the expanding job market in exercise science and healthrelated fitness and to prepare students for job opportunities in hospitals community recreation programs commercial fitnesssport enterprises business and industry and public and private healthsocial agencies
The program is designed to prepare students who wish to enter graduate or professional schools in programs related to exercise physiology sports medicine physical therapy athletic training or the behavioral foundations of physical education and sports
All funding and resources necessary for the program are available within the institution It is expected that the pro
gram will strengthen recruitment potential with minority students and should be especially attractive to women
Fort Valley State College Georgia College Macon Junior College
Fort Valley State College and Georgia College received authorization to establish external degree programs at Macon Junior College effective as soon as the 1985 summer quarter
Georgia College was authorized to offer the master of education degree with majors in administration and supervision reading and special education Georgia College currently offers the master of business administration degree and the bachelor of business administration degree in management at MJC as external degree programs
Fort Valley State College received approval for offering the master of science degree with majors in early childhood education and middle grades education FVSC currently offers the master of science degree with a major in counseling and the bachelor of business administration degree with majors in general business and accounting at MJC
Students in the new programs will be required to take half of the course work from FVSC and half from GC It is anticipated that the desegregation efforts of both institutions will be substantially improved by this crossenrollment feature
No additional funding is required for the programs However a onetime upgrading of library holdings at MJC will be necessary

The System Summary
North Georgia Colleges ROTC
North Georgia College in Dahlonega has been recognized by the United States Army for conducting one of the top 15 Army Reserve Officers Training Corps ROTC programs in the United States
In a military review ceremony on the colleges drill field on April 8 Brigadier General Curtis F Hoglan commander of the First ROTC Region presented a certificate of commendation from Army Chief of Staff General John A Wickham Jr NGC President John H Owen was also given a commanders award by General Hoglan for his exceptionally meritorious service to the ROTC on the local state and national levels
NGCs selection by the Army as one of the 15 best ROTC programs places the college in the top five percent of the 300 detachments nationwide Selection is based on a variety of standards particularly officer performance after graduation
General Hoglan was generous in his praise of North Georgia College Ive got 11 of the top 15 schools in my region the eastern US he said Out of 111 schools in the First Region North Georgia College is number one He cited NGCs performance last year at ROTC summer camp at which North Georgia bested the other 110 schools in the region in military and leadership skills
General Hoglan was also generous in his praise of Owen NGCs president since 1970 John Owen is the best friend the ROTC ever had he said in presenting the commanders award
Perhaps the highest praise however was reserved for the members of the Corps of Cadets The greatest praise must go the young men and women who serve their country as officers said General Hoglan They understand that our
Program Receives Recognition

freedom is preserved by those who would defend it Working with these young people is the best assignment Ive ever had
North Georgia College also honored General Hoglan for his service to the Army and the ROTC The regional commander has announced his retirement next month after more than 30 years of uniformed service Mrs Hoglan was also cited by the college for her support of her husbands career

state upon graduation at the possible expense of not providing engineering education for capable but less gifted instate students and answer the question Is the level of scientific sophistication rigor and theory inherent in the engineering programs at Georgia Tech appropriate to the full range of needs of Georgia industries
According to a memorandum written by Gignilliat national studies have shown that industry requires a variety of engineers He wrote One of the consequences of a single engineering school in Georgia is that a full spectrum of engineering educational opportunities cannot be provided
Gignilliat also said that a detailed cost analysis should be conducted for each alternative course of action available for increasing engineering education opportunities
The Georgia Tech and Regents staff studies indicate that the establishment of a second engineering school would be the most expensive alternative available and that accreditation of a new school would take at least five years Findings of those studies indicated that establishing articulation programs at Georgia Tech would be a more economical alternative and would aid more areas of the state than would the addition of one new engineering school Articulation programs which dont work out can be dropped and others can be added as needed whereas a new engineering school the staff report said will endure even if it proves to be ineffective
Before this Board makes a final decision on the options presented Gignilliat told the Regents I feel it would be in the best interest of our state to complete the study of the need for additional public engineering programs in Georgia
The Board asked the Regents staff to arrange for the SREB to conduct a study

Accreditation Continuedfrom Front Cover
tions The presidents of these institutions make up the College Delegate Assembly which in turn elects a representative body called the Commission on Colleges Other elected commissions are concerned with secondary schools occupational services ie vocational schools and elementary schools
Concerns of the Commission on Colleges include the improving of educational quality and assuring the public that established standards have been reached by the institution in question To ensure that these standards are met the Commission on Colleges initiates special committees when an institution applies for or is reaffirming its SACS accreditation
Why is the accreditation process necessary
Dr Henry Ashmore interim executive director of the SACS Commission on Colleges listed four practical reasons for administering the accreditation process
To protect the consumer That is the students who will graduate and the employees who use the institution
As institutions grow and nationwide travel becomes faster and easier the rate of student transfer is increasing With an affiliated nationwide network of accrediting agencies available an institution can inquire about states to which a student is transferring and suggest to the student some institutions that are worth examining
In order for the federal government to issue academic grants there has to be a means of evaluation to determine the institutions overall quality Accreditation is that means of evaluation
Foundations need the same assurance Foundations that give educational grants must guarantee to their constituencies that funds are indeed going to an at least minimal institution
Dr Joe Ezell vice president of administrative services at Georgia State University said The process of accreditation is good for the institution because it renews the institution It gives the institution a chance to really examine a new direction
Accreditation can come from the SACS which controls overall institutional accreditation or from private professional firms that place emphasis on accrediting individual programs within an institution Examples of these firms include the American Bar Association the Cosmetology Accrediting Commission and the American Chemical Society
Once initial accreditation is complete an institution must participate every 10 years in a selfstudy designed to make the specific institution think ahead and examine its status
The selfstudy is one of the most challenging aspects of the accreditation process A successful completion of the
Dr Joe Ezell
selfstudy by a committee of peer educators administrators and students will result in the reaffirmation of accreditation
The process of the selfstudy forces institutions to make an extra effort every 10 years to look at themselves and examine themselves in a formal way with some guidelines said Ezell If you gear your study accordingly you take yourself far beyond minimum standards
Ashmore said of the selfstudy An institution on a periodic basis has to step back and take a look at itself Specifically how and if it is meeting all the standards An institution looking at itself on a critical basis will recognize its weaknesses and strengths and will hopefully make that institution a better one
Another important and valuable aspect of the reaffirmation accreditation process is the visiting committee Ezell a veteran of 22 visiting committees described the process as
If we didnt have this monitoring or voluntary accreditation of each other then wed probably have government accreditation The only way we have free enterprise in the educational system is by monitoring ourselves Joe Ezell

The System Summary

a going and coming of professionals from various colleges meeting with colleagues on campuses
Visiting committees are comprised of educational professionals who travel to an institution that is applying for reaffirmation The committees look at the institutions selfstudy and also evaluate the schools efforts to ensure that the institutional selfstudy was truthful and was not just a status study according to Ashmore
A visiting committee can prove beneficial to a troubled institution
Many struggling institutions dont know how lucky they are to have the accreditation process reaffirmation Having free visits from a professional staff can ignite different ideas suggestions recommendations explained Ezell
What if regional accrediting bodies did not perform the accreditation process
If we didnt have this monitoring or voluntary accreditation of each other then wed probably have government accreditation The controls would go far beyond anything that Americans would be willing to accept said Ezell The only way we have free enterprise in the educational system is by monitoring ourselves
Government intervention in the educational system worked against the Board of Regents in 1941
It happened after thenGovemor Eugene Talmadge asked the Board to fire the dean of education at the University of Georgia Dr Walter Cocking for advocating the idea that practice schools for education majors should include both white and black children
The Board later agreed to keep Cocking by a vote of 8 to 7
Talmadge then urged two Regents to resign The Board met again and voted by a 105 margin to fire Cocking and South Georgia College President Marvin Pittman Pittman was charged with participating in local partisan politics
Following this act came the firing of seven other faculty members and thenvice chancellor of the System Dr J Curtis Dixon These firings were done without the implementation of a hearing
Governor Talmadges unprecedented political intervention took its toll when the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools dropped 10 University System of Georgia colleges from membership in the SACS This act meant that accreditation for the 10 schools was cancelled indefinitely
Behind a strong campaign to remove the University System from political interference Ellis Amall was elected to the governors office in January 1943 One of his first acts in office was to resolve the educationalpolitical struggle
A constitutional amendment was unanimously passed by both houses of the General Assembly and was overwhelmingly approved by the general public This amendment gave the Board of Regents its present constitutional status and is still the focal point of the University System All 10 institutions were reinstated immediately after the amendments passage
Recently a new emphasis has been placed on academic planning as an important factor in the evaluation of criteria for accreditation whereas major emphasis before was placed on financial plant and physical planning Major elements and recommendations of the selfstudy and the visiting committee are now increasingly concerned with topics such as existing degree programs objectives for obtaining new degrees and enrollment figures
The education not the facility is the more emphasized element of the accreditationreaffirmation evaluation today Accreditation is concerned with giving the consumer a reliable and effective education that can be used in todays society
Reaffirmation also becomes a tool of improvement for educators administrators and students in the University System as a result of the use of 10year selfstudies and visiting committees The accreditation process is designed to improve or enhance an individual institutions overall educational effectiveness
Bodies such as the SACS coordinate that improvement and ensure consistency of equality
As Ezell puts it Without accreditation there would be chaos

Agricultural engineering students and faculty members requested that the conference room be named for Guill
South Georgia College
The request that President Edward D Jackson be authorized to name three facilities located at South Georgia College in memory of three outstanding individuals of the south Georgia area was approved
The SGC union building will be known as the Irby Dell Engram College Union Irby Dale Engram 19131983 a native of Fort Gaines Georgia received two academic degrees from Emory University
In 1947 Engram accepted a teaching position in the Social Science Division of SGC and assumed additional responsibility as director of Veterans Affairs From the start of his long and distinguished career at the college Engram displayed considerable talents and advanced quickly to the position of registrar of the college In 1958 he was promoted to academic dean a position he held until his retirement in 1972
Engram was probably the most successful public relations person and recruiter of students that the college had seen according to SGC officials Former President William S Smith often referred to Dean Engram as Mr South Georgia College a title which those who knew him agreed was fitting and well deserved
The auditorium at South Georgia Colleges Peterson Hall will be named the McGouirk Auditorium
Herman McGouirk 19041983 served as a professor and as chairman of the Division of Humanities He exhibited a genuine love of learning and his student garden club added to the beauty of the campus Dedicated to excellence in teaching he gave much to his students and required much of them
The mathematics and science building will be named Francis S Stubbs Hall Francis Seaborn Stubbs 19001983 was a native of Eastman Georgia but moved with his family to Douglas in his early childhood He attended the local public schools and completed his high school work at South Georgia College which at that time was the Eleventh District A and M School
The successful business man was active in civic cultural and recreational organizations and as a member of the Board of Regents was instrumental in the construction of several campus buildings including the mathematics and science building

VSC Hosts Lecture Series
East and West Europe Two Worlds in Contrast is the subject of a lecture series being held at Valdosta State College through May
The series features guest lecturers who will discuss military economic political and cultural facets of the differences between Eastern and Western Europe Sponsored by the Department of International Studies the series began April 1 and will continue each Monday through May 27
According to Dr William M Gabard who is the director of the Department of International Studies and coordinator of the series the subject of East and West Europe was chosen for this years FOCUS series because of the keen interest which the United States and its allies have in arms reduction and the current Geneva talks Gabard added We have an outstanding array of scholars and diplomats scheduled to appear in the series
Another reason for the selection of Europe as the series theme is the emergence of a new generation of Soviet
leadership according to Dr Raymond C Mensing professor of history at VSC and one of the series lecturers
The series will include lectures on major European cultural development trade and economic conditions and prospects and the United States view of Europe today

A Look BackChancellor Crawford Retires
As HIS RETIREMENT APPROACHED Dr Vernon Crawford looked back on his term as chancellor which will be completed on June 30 1985 In a speech given to the Board of Regents in May 1980 Crawford outlined four goals he hoped to accomplish in order to strengthen and improve the University System of Georgia In May 1985 Crawford reviewed the success of those objectives
Crawfords first and most important goal was to improve the quality of instruction research and service at University System institutions He referred to this as the overriding goal that must come first
One of the ways of improving quality is to improve the funding said Crawford We were badly strapped for finances at that time 1980 and we were stretching the faculty very thin with some danger that quality would be inhibited
Realizing that the Systems educational quality was in danger Crawford asked Gov George Busbee to appoint a committee to study the financing of the University System
The resulting Study Committee on Public Higher Education Finance produced a report recommending the implementation of a fullfunding formula That formula included the creation of an annual quality improvement fund to be added to each yearly appropriation received from the state For each of the past two years approximately 6 million has been added to the System budget for use in quality improvement That money has so far been used to purchase equipment but Crawford hopes that future quality improvement funds can be used for faculty development
As a result of the study the University System was given approval to change the computation of its funding request that is submitted annually to the Georgia General Assembly The Board now computes its formula for funding based on past enrollments rather than projected enrollments Crawford considers this a major achievement for the Board
If we base the formula on past enrollments not only do we get a little more money during enrollment declines but we also have a longer planning horizon said Crawford

The System Summary
FourYear Status for Clayton Junior College Approved
If all goes as planned students who enter Clayton Junior College in September of this year will have the opportunity to complete their fouryear programs here said Clayton Junior College President Harry S Downs upon learning that the Board of Regents had voted at its May meeting to approve the conversion of CJC to a fouryear institution
Initially the college will be a fouryear limited purpose institution offering only the bachelor of science in nursing and the bachelor of business administration with majors in accounting computer science and information systems management and general business The first junior class will be enrolled in the fall of 1987 and the first senior class will start the following fall The first baccalaureate graduation is scheduled to take place in June of 1989
The addition of baccalaureate degree programs presents a new challenge to the faculty and staff of the college and to the people of this community Downs said These new programs must and will be programs of superior quality
Of equal importance he added is the continuation and expansion of twoyear programs continuing education courses and special services to the community According to CJC officials the next two years will be
devoted to planning programs and recruiting faculty members Officials will also concentrate on acquiring necessary library holdings establishing graduation requirements and recruiting students
Growth in the population of CJCs service area which includes Clayton Henry Fayette and south Fulton counties is expected to continue providing the basis for the conversion of the institution
The 3358 students enrolled in credit programs at Clayton Junior College during the 1984 fall quarter made the college the 12th largest among the 33 institutions in the University System Clayton has been the largest of the 15 junior colleges in the System for several years
Claytons proposal had been reviewed by the Regents central office staff who verified statistics submitted by Clayton as to the feasibility of the proposal Chancellorelect H Dean Propst told the Board at the May meeting The proposal was then considered by an advisory review committee consisting of System personnel not in the impacted area of a proposed change of status and including Board Chairman Sidney O Smith and Regents Marie Dodd and Arthur Gignilliat

A Man for All Seasons Crawford Remembered
A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS is how Georgia Institute of Technology Vice President for Business and Finance Dick Fuller describes him
Hes a fantastic tennis partner who brings out the best in me says Robert Eskew of Heery Heery Architects Engineers Inc
He has a keen wit and is an original thinker adds Paul Anderson an Atlanta attorney And according to Georgia Tech President Joseph Pettit he has impeccable academic credentials
This witty tennisplaying academician is Vernon Crawford who has served as chancellor of the University System of Georgia for the past five years
As his retirement approached longtime friends and colleagues had this to say about him
Joseph M Pettit president of Georgia Tech
It is both a privilege and a responsibility to contribute something about Vernon Crawford on the occasion of his retirement as chancellor of the University System of Georgia It is a privilege because he is a personal friend it is a responsibility because so much should be said on his behalf and I only wish I were more adequate to the task
Other presidents in the System can write about his leadership as chancellor but none can testify as well as someone from Georgia Tech about his preparation I know about this in two ways first he was my immediate colleague and academic vice president when I came to Tech as president some 13 years ago Second I was asked by the Board of Regents to serve as chairman of the search committee for a new chancellor at the time when there became a vacancy one which the Regents subsequently elected to fill by appointing Vernon Crawford
Based on my firsthand knowledge at Georgia Tech Vernon Crawford brought to the Board of Regents the ideal qualifications for the chief executive officer of a multicampus academic system First he had impeccable academic credentials He understood the central academic role of a system of higher education by having performed successfully as a teacher researcher and academic officer at Georgia Tech His values are academic values He has lived the life
He came to the Georgia Tech faculty in 1949 with a fresh PhD in physics from the University of Virginia after having completed his previous degrees in his native Canadian province of Nova Scotia We were lucky that there was a faculty position available at Tech and that he chose us over other alternatives
He started at Tech as a physicist and did what professors of physics are supposed to do topquality teaching and research in his discipline Thenas we all knowanyone who displays the slightest trace of leadership starts up an
escalator where one seems to rise without climbing Dr Crawford became head of physics then dean of the college within which physics was located then vice president of academic affairswhere I found him when I joined Tech and where I had at least one instance of good judgment in opting to keep him there
No chronicle of Vernon Crawford at Georgia Tech would be complete without mentioning his careers as movie critic and as actor He has always been popular as one of the outstanding speakers in Altanta and for many years one of his favorite topics was film reviews His acting was another matter however It was not in the movies but in the reallife academic world He played successful roles as acting dean of two different colleges while he was academic vice president And even before that he had the apparently easier task of serving as acting president of Georgia Tech
As chancellor he has continued to hold high the standards of academic life which he so exemplified during his own career We are forever indebted to him
Winfred L Godwin president of the Southern Regional Education Board
A career as a noted physicist and university academic leader are the publicly recognized professional achievements of Vernon Crawford but his deepseated commitment to education is just as evident in lesserknown activities Foremost among these is Dr Crawfords leadership and plain hard work to combat illiteracy through Literacy Action Inc
A person who is effective in circles of the most prominent and influential leadersof education and government and who also devotes himself personally and directly to helping the least educated in society is the kind of person who does not seekbut deservesrecognition by his peers
Paul Anderson senior partner Gambrell Clarke Anderson and Stolz
We met the Crawfords in the late 1940s after Vernon had come to Atlanta to teach at Georgia Tech I have known Helen all of her life as her father and mine had both been doctors on the staff of Severance Hospital in Seoul Korea
Over a period of some 20 years we took pleasure in watching Vernons career develop and we took great pleasure when he was selected chancellor However much of this was due to Vernon himself I am convinced that much of it would not have happened had it not been for the support without reserve which Helen gave him throughout his career
My wife says that Vernon is the brightest and smartest man she has ever known and her judgment is usually sound

The System Summary
A Look Back at the Crawford Years
During his fiveyear term as chancellor Dr Vernon Crawford has provided valuable insight to the University System of Georgia His impact on the System was felt in many ways Following are a few highlights of the major events and accomplishments that took place during Crawfords tenure at the Board of Regents
Crawford is named acting chancellor on June 15 1979 after the Board of Regents voted to remove thenchancellor George L Simpson from office Crawford is then unanimously elected chancellor on May 20 1980
The Board adopts a faculty evaluation policy upon recommendation by thenacting Chancellor Crawford 1979
The Regents Test undergoes a major revision Crawford a staunch advocate of the Regents Test designates an ad hoc committee to study several aspects of the Regents Test policy including the 105Hour Rule provision 1979
Southern Technical Institute becomes a senior college Crawford announces later in the year that Southern Techs conversion to a fouryear institution is a year ahead of schedule 197980
Cooperative doctoral programs between University System universities and senior colleges are given approval The concept which gives System universities the authority to award doctoral degrees at cooperative senior colleges becomes reality when Valdosta State College offers 2 majors leading to a doctoral degree from Georgia State University 198081
A statement listing the basic requirements for the University System core curriculum is adopted by the Board For the first time since its approval in 1967 the Board has settled upon the basic requirements for the core curriculum 1980
The Board announces its approval for a new law school at Georgia State University 1981
Crawford selects and the Regents approve the first female to hold a University System of Georgia presidency Betty Siegel of Kennesaw College 1981
Crawford appoints a committee to provide technical assistance and guidance for the ongoing statewide study of existing needs and future needs for higher education The Committee for Statewide Educational Needs Assessment later publishes The 80s and Beyond A Commitment To Excellence to use as a planning guide for the System 1982
Chancellor Crawford asks Georgia Gov George Busbee to appoint a committee to study University System finances The Study Committee on Public Higher Education Finance publishes Formula for Excellence Financing Georgias University System in the 80s Later with the help of the committee report the Board is granted among other things a 1 percent quality improvement fund that will remain in the General Assemblys yearly budget allocations to the Board The Board uses the money more than 6 million per year to purchase needed equipment throughout the System 198283
External degree programs in which a University System institution may offer a degree program in totality at another System unit or at any other approved location are approved by the Board at its April meetings 1983
The Board of Regents approves a precollege curriculum plan stating that all students enrolling in programs leading to a fouryear baccalaureate degree must complete the Boards precollege curriculum requirements before gaining admission to a System institution 1984
Clayton Junior College receives authorization to convert to a fouryear institution 1985

Would that state government could attract more men of his kind to public service
William L Fash dean of the College of Architecture at Georgia Tech
When I interviewed for the position of dean at Georgia Tech I was something of a reluctant candidate No one knew this or so I thought but I was happy and thoroughly involved with my position at Illinois and was not at all sure of my interest in coming here As indicators I had twice before declined offers to become head of an architectural
school out of general reluctance I was further apprehensive about leaving a megaversity with a very broad base of subject offerings in favor of a limitedscope institution with a dominant technological bent
I still dont know how but Vernon seemed to sense my reluctance In response he cancelled his afternoon schedule that day and he and I went for a long drive through north and northwest Atlanta It was the second week in April and Atlantas color symphony in azalea and dogwood had reached its full crescendo
Toward the end of the afternoon I told him You really know how to influence a visuallyoriented person Hes fond of telling this story and I think had concluded that it was the drive that persuaded me to come to Tech It wasnt the drive It was him

PERSPECTIVE
EDITORS NOTE In April Chancellor Vernon Crawford spoke to a gathering of University System presidents chief academic officers and chief business officers Following are his remarks to that group
This being my last meeting with you in the aggregate it seems fitting that I pronounce a few words of benediction on our adventures together on the battle fields of Academe To say that I have enjoyed our association would be an understatement Some aspects of the chancellorship have not been particularly pleasant during my term in office I think of all the lean budget years we have endured together and of my longing for just one in which I could preside over an allocation process which would provide the resources you need to do the job expected of you just one such year but it did not materialize
However one aspect of the position which has never failed to bring me joy and delight has been the personal relationships which have developed and the boost to my sometimes sagging morale which a conversation or a meeting with one or more of you could inevitably bring
The most enjoyable part of the job by all odds has been the visits to your campuses to see you in your natural habitats with their protective colorations and other attributes conducive to your continuing survival I wish my visits could have been more frequent but the constraints of space time and vehicular velocity combined with other less pleasant but more urgent demands imposed their limits
To the chief business officers let me say that yours is one of the most difficult assignments ever devised by the mind of man It is in fact so difficult that I suspect it may have been designed by the mind of a woman You must play the role of a parent with 10 children in one kingsized bed and only a cotsized blanket for cover
You must insure that resources are used legally and in accordance with an unending stream of regulations issuing from bureaucracies at various levels You must be both the institutions watchdog and its conscience in fiscal matters On top of all that you must not let the accountant mentally dominate you must be a facilitator who sees that ways are found to get things done which must be done in spite of the obstacles with which chancellors and vice chancellors are forever strewing your path
Finally you must develop an arithmetic or a higher mathematics which proves beyond question that your instituion is 33rd among University System institutions in funding priorities Not an easy assignment but one which you manage to handle with remarkable style and grace I salute you
Turning now to the rowdier element of the academic community I salute you academic deans and vice presidents Having been one of you 1 know you better than most other people do but you need be under no apprehension that I
will divulge what I know in a public meeting I count most of you as longtime personal friends If friends cannot cover up for friends what are friends for
One judgmental aberration of yours which I will call attention to is that which resulted in my becoming chancellor I accepted the acting chancellorship on the condition imposed by me I hasten to add that I would not be a candidate for the chancellorship If a number of you had not pushed me to reconsider my Shermanesque position with respect to accepting a draft I would not be your chancellor today Let that be a lesson to you next time you are tempted to meddle
To the presidents I will only say that I hold you in awe I have never been a president myself unless you count the time I was acting president of Georgia Tech Of course if you dont count the times I was acting I have never been much of anything But in spite of my lack of direct experience with the job I have been close enough to presidents in the last 15 years to develop both a good understanding of what you do and a healthy respect for the way you do it It is a much more difficult role than the chancellorship which and Chancellorelect you will be happy to hear thisis pretty much beer and skittles with joy and laughter unconfined True the chancellor must deal with legislators to a much greater extent than you do but his involvement with students mothers of students faculty members mothers of faculty members and alumni is minuscule compared to yours
In order to make the headache index of the two jobs president and chancellor more nearly equal I have suggested to Chancellorelect Propst that the Central Office plan to field teams in both football and basketball I have been disappointed with his reaction to that suggestion
On a more serious note 1 must say that the challenges which will face the University System in the future are even more formidable than those facing it now The budget will get even tighter as enrollments continue to decline The demands for new highcost programs will increase
The federal government will continue to transfer its share of the higher educational funding responsibility to the states The turf problems between public and private sectors are likely to grow in number and intensity The competition between public and private sectors for both state and private funding will also intensify
The public demand for higher quality education greater accountability by educational administrators and cost containment in higher education will mount
The second biggest disappointment in my life is that I will not be in the middle of all of these problems the biggest disappointment being that I have never actually fallen

Indirect cost recoveries income earned on research will soon be returned in total to the schools that performed the research according to Crawford Formerly the overhead money earned from research was returned to the state but Crawford said that this process is in the second of three phases of being changed He said the final result will be an additonal 8 million for the University System and will encourage schools to increase research activities
Crawford feels that productivity reviews have improved the daytoday quality of System institutions Every five years committees are sent to System institutions to evaluate the schools overall performance Sometimes the committees consisting of Regents Central Office staff and Board of Regents members have taken what Crawford refers to as controversial action
We have put a number of subprograms on probation said Crawford But this probation has no professional or national significance It simply serves as a reminder to the presidents that there is something that doesnt measure up in those particular programs and that the deficiencies must be addressed
In all of my visits to the campuses I stress the need for quality and the need to maintain standards even in the face of declining enrollments Any schools that see lowering standards and giving watereddown curricula as the solution to the declining enrollment problem may prosper in the short run but in the long run theyre doomed and unfortunately they will hurt us all he said
Crawfords second major goal stressed the need to establish a better relationship between the University System and the State Department of Education and he feels that the Board of Regents Central Office staff achieved great success in establishing better relations with State DOE
Through the combined efforts of these two groups a publication focusing on a precollege curriculum plan was developed The publication designed to assist high school students in preparing for college under the new plan was distributed to high school counselors and administrators this spring
The relationship also proved fruitful when the Board gave its support to the passage of the Quality Basic Education QBE bill signed by Gov Joe Frank Harris in April
It the bill points out some things that we probably should have been doing all along said Crawford We could have argued that higher education deserved greater attention but we felt that the improvement with the QBE bill would enhance our quality in the long run We fully supported it on principle
Crawfords third goal was to seek better communications within the University System to enable each institution to understand and take pride in its uniquely important role within the System
One way that he achieved success was to initiate gatherings of the University System presidents in which they could get away from their campuses and the Central Office to talk about things of real concern in a free atmosphere In the past Crawford said the presidents were encouraged to keep problems and complaints at their own institutions Now according to Crawford the presidents are encouraged to stay informed on Systemwide issues
Crawfords fourth and final major goal was to improve communications between the University System and all elements of the states government and business contingencies
The hiring of an executive assistant to the chancellor for legislative relations has drastically improved communications between the Board of Regents and state legislators according to Crawford
To reach the states business community Chancellor Crawford organized a committee which made extensive tours of the state in 1981 and 1983 seeking to provide business people with better insight into the functions of the University System
Chancellor Vernon Crawford and his staff have worked hard to improve communications and relationships within the System with the State Board of Education and with the Georgia General Assembly Those relationships have all prospered under his direction
Instruction research and service at System institutions continue to reach high levels even in this time of declining enrollments
What accomplishment is the chancellor most proud of
I am proud he said of improving the feeling in the University System particularly among presidents that the Central Office is a resource to them rather than a police force that was designed to keep them in line 1 am also very proud of my role in the appointment of the 12 presidents who have been hired to lead University System institutions since I joined the Central Office
Chancellor Continued from Page 10
into a vat of boiling oil I am confident that the next chancellor will have your complete support and encouragement as he deals with them
My only reservation about his ability to handle whatever comes his way is that he will not have the advantage which I have enjoyed over anybody in a position comparable to my own the constant support and complete backing of one H Dean Propst
Thank you for what you have done for what you will do for education and for what you mean to me personally

Gov Harris on Higher Education in Georgia
EDITORS NOTE The following interview with Gov Joe Frank Harris is the first in a series on individuals who have an impact on the University System of Georgia If you have any comments or suggestions regarding this series please write to us The second interview will appear in the August issue
Q The two cornerstones of your administration have been to improve education and increase economic development Has the University System of Georgia been of assistance to you in those endeavors
Harris It has been very important in those endeavors because it is a part of the total educational system of our state I think what affects one affects the other Because of our economic development quality and excellence has certainly moved right on over into the University System by way of enhancement and continued progress
Q One of your goals has been to bring fullformula funding to the System Even if the formula is funded with what they call real dollars do you perceive that it will ever produce the amount of money that the System needs to continue its goal of quality education
Harris The formula was established as you know a few years ago Actually its very close to being fully funded
now and we intend for it to be fully funded Changes in the weights and application would be something that would certainly have to be considered at some future date depending on the Board of Regents members and their priorities for the University System
Q What more can higher education do
Harris I am proud of higher education and particularly the research and the applications that are being developed in our University System especially those that find a place in the private sector and later become jobs for Georgians The attraction that Georgia has and is going to continue to have is because of the University System and its ability to offer the kind of training the kind of research and the kind of future that people desire
Q How do you feel about the governing system for the public colleges and universities
Harris We are very fortunate to have the structure that we have in our state and it is one that other states are very envious of It has been very beneficial for our state and it has worked well

The Regents approved changes in policies regarding outofstate tuition for certain foreign students
Effective fall quarter 1985 a new policy will be applied to all new international students admitted under tuition
waivers The new policy allows the institution presidents to select international students for such waivers in numbers that do not exceed one percent of the equivalent fulltime students enrolled at the institution in the fall quarter immediately preceding the quarter for which the outofstate tuition is to be waived
This policy change removes the quota system now used in granting such waivers and allows the presidents to use the waivers for local civic clubs and churches at their discretion
The Board also adopted a policy regarding student activity and athletic budgets Institutions will submit to the chancellor for approval by the Board prior to July 1 of each year an annual budget of income and expenditures of the student activity and student athletic programs to be financed from the fees charged to students for these purposes
Operating budgets of separately incorporated athletic organizations are specifically excluded from this process

The Office for Civil Rights has reviewed Georgias progress with regard to implementation of its 1978 Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia during the 198384 academic year and fall 1984
According to Chancellorelect Dr H Dean Propst in his report to the Board of Regents at the June meeting the overall evaluation is positive but the Office tor Civil Rights OCR has delineated some areas which the state must address in responses to OCR by June 30 and July 191985
OCR commended the state of Georgia for
the general progress made during the year
the diligent monitoring of the desegregation effort by Regents staff members
the planning and funding of construction and improvement of facilities at the traditionally black institutions TBIs
the increased remedial assistance provided at the TBIs for students failing the Regents Test
the publication of a minority recruitment brochure and other materials designed to attract black students
efforts to improve student retention at all institutions
efforts to improve teacher education programs at the TBIs
increased black enrollment at the traditionally white institutions TWIs for fall quarter 1984 and
increased black employment at the TWIs for fall quarter 1984
This information was contained in a letter addressed to Gov Joe Frank Harris from William H Thomas regional civil rights director dated May 15 The letter also cited deficiences in the areas of
funding of campus enhancement projects at the TBIs
decreasing black enrollment in teacher education at Armstrong State College
failure of some of the TBI enhancement programs to achieve desegregation results
incomplete institutional plans and reports dealing with administrative staffing minority hiring and minority student recruitment plans and

Stirring Up Dust at the ABAC Truck and Tractor Pull
The driver a maveric with a nitro mini considered himself a hotshoe He was all set to drop the hammer until a dude from a dynasty made a bonzai on the power track
He eyeballed the dudes easychair pull and decided to head to the bleachers for some heavy bench pulling
This strange language is affectionately referred to as pullin lingo
Last April at Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College pullin lingo was the talk of the town as the 14th Annual ABAC Truck and Tractor Pull opened in Tifton
The truck and tractor pull sponsored by ABACS Agriculture Equipment Technology Club brings some of the nations most powerful trucks and tractors to the ABAC campus for a weekend event that attracts up to 10000 people The ABAC Tractor Pull is the only sponsored and sanctioned pull in the nation that is held on a college campus
ABAC faculty member Jimmy Grubbs atop Cracker Jack
Tractor pulling has recently gained national attention but most people are unfamiliar with the rules or the object of the sport The following are excerpts from How to Watch Tractor Pulling published in the ABAC souvenir program
The object of a tractor ortruck pull is for a tractor to pull a weighted sled as far as it can down a prepared dirt track usually 300 feet
The weighted sled is so mechanized as to move a weight forward at a constant rate The farther ahead the weight moves the more weight on the tractors rear wheels thus creating a heavier object to move
It is important when the driver shifts that he keep the momentum of the machine going and not bog down How a driver pilots his machine in the first 50 feet will usually determine how he is going to finish
There are many different categories in which a truck or tractor can compete The smallest competitors are the 1701pound minitractors
6
The System Summary
They look like lawn mowers except they have large automotive engines said ABAC assistant professor Wright Crosby Its a little tiny thing with a lot of power
The largest and most popular category for spectators is the modified tractor group According to Crosby this group uses the rear end of a tractor and modifies it to withstand an enormous amount of power Many of these pullers replace regular tractor engines with aircraft and freight engines Some use as many as four automobile engines simultaneously working in one modified tractor
Other categories include 5401pound 2wheeldrive trucks 5800pound 4wheeldrive trucks and 7000pound super stocks There is even a lawn and garden tractor competition
Cracker Jack ABACS own 7000pound super stock tractor placed second in this years competition The Agriculture Equipment Technology Club sponsors Cracker Jacks annual pull and the tractor is driven by ABAC faculty member Jimmy Grubbs
The ABAC tractor pull is sanctioned by the Georgia Tractor Pullers Association and is considered a Class B pull First place in each category received 350 and the total purse per weight class was 1000
Overall its just a lot of fun said Crosby We get more people out here for our tractor pulls than we do for homecoming

PERSPECTIVE
EDITORS NOTE Ron Sailor senior news commentator for WSB television in Atlanta spoke at West Georgia Colleges 1985 winter commencement ceremony The following excerpts from those remarks serve as a salute to all University System graduates for 1985
You are blessed to be who you are and where you are Never before in the nations history has there been any single generation armed with a tradition of thought the material wealth and the opportunity to transform both into some finer state This may seem the traditional thought shared on days like this but it is nonetheless true By every barometer you are the best educated the most exposed the most refined and the most resourceful
Now this is partly due to your own talents and tenacity but it has as much to do with the unmistakable realization that all of us are the repositories of the riches and rewards of those before us So because you are the sons and daughters of eras of unprecedented progress you are forced by an urgency to be better stewards of time talent tradition and thought Never before has the axiom been truer which suggests of whom much is given much is expected
Im reminded today of a young man who like you commenced on an important journey that would take the nation through the growing pains of selfanalysis through the rigors of reordering national priorities and finally to and through the conflicts and contradictions of the nations conscience Many of you will remember him only through the literature and the oral tradition of our day Twentyfive years ago we scarcely would have thought that his words might have some ringing significance to those of you now just past undergraduates who were then still unborn
He said to us that there is some great shift in the national imperative We would never again enjoy the selfishness of being mere consumers of the nations vast wealth Instead we would be challenged to become contributors and producers John F Kennedy asked us in the spirit of the urgent times in which he lived to rethink our role in the drama of building a nation The new question indeed the new standard became Ask not what the country can do for you ask what you can do for the country
Now this daring thought was not novel or unique to John Kennedy but instead has always been the property of men whove lived in urgent times It has been the property of Oliver Wendall Holmes who told us even three quarters of a century before John F Kennedy that there comes a moment when by common consent we pause to become conscious of our national life and to rejoice in it to recall what the country has done for each of us and to ask what we can do for our country in return
Le Baron Briggs in his essay on college life raised the same standard when writing that the youth who loves his alma mater will always ask not What can she do for me but What can I do for her
Warren G Harding echoed the same substance in 1916 at the Republican National Convention reminding us that in the great fulfillment we must have a citizenship more concerned about what the government can do for it and more anxious about what it can do for the nation
It is truer now than it has ever been that we must produce more of the critical thinkers who can rise above the appeal of selfinterest It is not enough to simply respond in the affirmative to the question Are you better off than you were four years ago The urgent question for all of us is Is the nation to be better off for years to come Too many of our people who represent our greatest natural resource are better off than four years ago yet every symphony which features a few instruments and forgets the others will be discordant every portrait which paints the fairness of the foreground and forgets the hurt just beyond the horizon will not be symmetrical because it has lost the dimension of depth And every piece of poetry which concentrates on the regularity of its rhyme and forgets that not every word is allowed some reciprocal sound will be superficially sound but lacking in scope
We must summon the energy and enthusiasm and the intestinal fortitude to help alter the nations course and direct us toward new frontiers of freedom
The frontiers of which we speak must not be a set of personal promises but a set of personal challenges The freedoms that you will search for must not be merely freedom from something freedom from hunger freedom from war freedom from tyranny and freedom from personal turmoil Rather than being freedom from anything it must be freedom for something In that connection you will have to produce a new set of heroes These will be heroes who will borrow from the bounty of yesterday but who are shaped by the trials of today These will be heroes who never set out for hero or heroine status but who because of the urgency of the hour had hero status thrust upon them
John Kennedy was once asked how he became a hero aboard PT 109 He answered and said it was easy They sank my boat The only option was to sink or swim Our options are no more abundant today We shall either sink or swim or permit the unpardonable and merely float along with the tide Our new heroes will be those who will force their way to intelligence They will give us out of their genius the answer for cancer or the cure for the common cold They will create out of their hurt and their hope the illusive formulas of social science which will help us not

The System Summary
At Commencement Time
just live longer but live better which will not simply impact on our health but will impact on our wholeness
There will be those of you who will because of the urgency of the times in which we live leave here and participate in a thousand different ways in a truer understanding of our national interest Some will by eloquent example help affirm the correctness of men like Will Durant and others whove told us that The health of the nation is more important than the wealth of the nation
This is not useless moralizing or philosophizing instead it is a critical assessment of the truest wealth we possess What good is it if we can fly to the moon and back and yet lack the basic capacity to live creatively in our separate cities and communities
There is something I believe about every generation which sets it apart from earlier times Some quality or maybe even virtue that gives it its unique characteristics Perhaps for this day that characteristic will be simplecourage A courage that will not easily accept the assumption and presumptions which keep men moving away from each other rather than toward each other A courage more concerned with the common success of the many than the extraordinary successes of the few A courage that will outrun the mean custodians of caste and class A courage that will permeate every racial myth and leap over every wall of nationalistic pride A courage that will simply see the truth whatever truth may be and embrace it
Now this may seem like easy altruism but it is not We live in a time like times before when it is easier to settle for easy misguided truths than to search for truth that is both sober and sane Adolph Hitler in all of his nationalistic insanity stumbled on one essential feature of human character Namely that the great masses of people will more easily fall victim to a big lie than to a small one
You then must reject the temptation to settle for the easy answer the quick fix the superficial analysis the diplomatic diagnosis There is an urgency in our national mood and you must see it and be prepared to respond to it Whether we like it or not we are involved in the worlds problems
The winds of hunger and malnutrition which blow across Ethiopia and all of the African continent blow across this land of plenty as well The sound of thundering war whether in the Middle East the Persian Gulf the Caribbean Basin or Central America are heard just as distinctly in all of our peace and prosperity The ugliness of violence which stalks the nations inner cities is just as vivid in the serenity of the suburbs We can cast no absentee ballot We cannot treat it by proxy or solve it by longdistance philanthropy Instead well have to roll up our sleeves and sidebyside work to
solve it
There is something about the urgency of which I speak that will not allow us to have anything to do with the life or lifestyle that is satisfying content while the masses live in filth hunger and ignorance
There is in each of us today this creative capacity to transform isness to oughtness That is to simply push and prod all of our priorities from where as my grandma used to say they is to where they ought to be From the isness of human pain to the oughtness of human power from the isness of many people living in one land to the oughtness of one people living in many lands and from the isness of the things which separate us to the oughtness of the things which unite us
If we are to realize the Great Society it will be because there are those of you and millions more who will make the society great If we are to win the war on poverty it will be because we have declared unilateral and unconditional war on the artificially low ceilings that stifle struggle and ambush personal ambition
If we are to stop the slow descent down the nuclear staircase that will lead us nowhere if were lucky and to the end of existence if were not then we must summon the initiative to convince the nations of the world that peace is better than war because life is better than death So we must give peace a chance
There will be those of you who will dare to be different enough to experiment with the safe assumptions that have guided us in every sphere of human conduct To you I say congratulations for with every experimentation there is the possibility of progress When you experiment whether failing or succeeding you unwrap an ounce of human potential It simply will not be enough to repeat and recite the litany of contributions of an earlier time Somehow you must run the risk of trying to create your own impressions in the sands of time
As senior news commentator for WSB Ron Sailor has received many honors and distinctions including four Emmy Awards He also serves as pastor of the Mt Zion Baptist Church of Carollton He received a bachelors degree and an honorary doctorate of humanities from Emory University and also attended graduate school at Georgia State University

Tubs on Wheels Become HighSpeed Racers at STI
The racing crew was in serious trouble Time was running out The only race of the season was six months away and they still needed a body for their machine
A desperate search for the vessel led them to an abandoned farmhouse where they found what they were looking for The castiron structures porcelain coating was chipped and stained but in their eyes it was perfect
It was a bathtub
The previously frustrated engineering technology students from Southern Technical Institute were finally in the running for Southern Techs 1985 Spring Bathtub Race
Not all Southern Tech bathtub race competitors have this much trouble finding a tub but as bathtub technology moves ahead finding the right tub is essential
Bathtub racing began at Southern Tech 19 years ago Back then STI fraternity pledges dragged bathtubs full of iceddown beer with a driver through a muddied road The race has now grown into a fastpaced hightechnology road race that is exciting to watch
Most people are surprised by the race because the bath
tubs are pretty sophisticated said STI Bathtub Race faculty advisor Dr Laurence Logue They are not crude
These bathtubs can achieve a top speed of nearly 90 miles per hour The actual racing tub according to the official rules and specifications of STIs Bathtub Racing Association BRA must be a castiron rollrimmed bathtub four feet in length
Most tubs are aciddipped or ground down to the BRAs minimum weight of 140 pounds They are then mounted on a lightweight frame and fitted with a 175 cc motorcycle engine the BRAs maximum engine size and racing slicks
The tough part according to Logue is devising a steering system and installing dependable brakes Over the past few years experienced crews have added features like rack and pinion steering 4wheel disc brakes aerodynamic body panels and quickrelease fuel tanks which allow drivers to spend only five seconds at each refueling pit stop
After all of this work is complete it is not uncommon for the crew to have spent 2000 to 3000 on the creation The tubs are designed built and paid for by the individual

The System Summary
Southern Technical Institute
Southern Technical Institute for the past eight years has been the nations largest producer of engineering technologists from any one campus
Most Southern Tech students upon graduation receive about three or four technologyoriented job offers and Southern Tech is approached annually by about 900 companies seeking to employ applied engineering technology majors according to college officials
Beginning in the fall of 1985 Southern Tech will offer a quality assurance option to its bachelors degree in industrial engineering technology The program is designed to educate students in solving quality problems involving the manufacturing and provision of goods and services and was initiated in response to industry demand
Recently a group of Georgia business persons representing about 50 companies approached Chancellor Vernon Crawford with the hopes of initiating a quality assurance program somewhere in the University System Crawford and his staff chose Southern Tech as the site for the new program
A recently approved bachelor of science degree in construction administration will also be offered at Southern Tech in the fall of 1985 The new major will focus on the application of engineering principles as they relate to construction
Currently Southern Technical Institute offers nine fouryear bachelor degree programs and a number of twoyear associate degree programs All programs are engineering technologyoriented
crews and interested parties Southern Technical Institute does not pay for the manufacturing of the racers
The Bathtub Raceway is a 11 mile track encircling the STI campus The 825 mile 75lap race takes about 1 12 hours to complete and just like any other racetrack the course has long straightaways sharp curves and a pit area
Two days before the race the Bathtub Racing Association and STIs Sigma Nu fraternity painstakingly implement a tire throw in which thousands of used tires are placed adjacent to all parts of the racetrack to ensure spectator and driver safety Makeshift bridges that cross the track are built for spectator convenience The Sportscar Club of America SCCA contributes to the race by helping with the timing among other tasks
Safety is emphasized in all areas pertaining to the bathtub race Tub builders must conform to the current rules when building the racer and the tub must pass a technical inspection before it is allowed to race Drivers must pass a written test and a situation drivers school exam before being certified by the BRA Each entrant must also supply manpower for the tire throw and for racetime crowd control
The bathtubs must include a safe rollbar and a reliable braking system Drivers are required to wear standard race car protective equipment including gloves flame retardant suits and approved crash helmets
All bathtub racing entrants are affiliated with Southern Tech in some way whether they are alumni students or invited guests Swathmore College in Pennsylvania raced its custombuilt bathtub on the Marietta campus for a final project in an engineering class thanks to special permission granted by the BRA
A pit crew works on a racer
Coordinating the race is a huge task This years BRA president is Southern Tech student Brenda Kaye who was in charge of the entire race agenda
Everything went off like clockwork this year said Kaye It was a lot of fun but a lot of hard work It paid off in the end
This years race paid off for tub driver 96 Rodney Bridges Bridges driving Sigma Nu Racing Can Am 175 cc aciddipped single member chrome moly frame bathtub defeated Southern Tech alumnus and fivetime champion Edward AJ Jordan

The System Summary
Harris Continued from Front Cover
Q Other states seem to be leaning toward our system of government Does that surprise you
Harris No I think when you see the problems that other states are having particularly in the management of the higher education institutions its clear that we have had a very workable solution It has been proved for quite some time
Q You once did a newspaper interview in which you said that your agreement with the Office for Civil Rights is one of the best things that has happened during your tenure as governor Are you pleased with the progress that we are continuing to make Most of the commitments are for three years and we are in the middle of the threeyear cycle right now
Harris I am very pleased Had that agreement not been achieved then I think we could have been in some very serious difficulties as far as the University System is concerned All the people involved worked very hard to see that the agreements were worked out and that the programs in place would meet the requirements I have been pleased and delighted that we were able to do that
Q What happens after the three years are up Will the commitment still be there
Harris Oh by all means I dont think we can lessen our efforts whatsoever at the end of three years and we will certainly continue the program
Q How do you think the changeover in chancellors in going from Dr Vernon Crawford to Dr H Dean Propst will impact on you
Harris Our working relationship with the Board of Regents and the present chancellor has been excellent and the relationship we have had with the chancellorelect has been excellent I would certainly feel that that relationship is going to be very positive in the future and it wont be one that will have to be established or reestablished
Q First graders who are in school now will graduate in the year 2000 Based on your Quality Basic Education bill package and your educational commitment what would you have them know when they begin to live and work in this state in the 21 st century
Harris I would hope that they would have an adequate background in basics that would prepare them for whatever application might be desired I am not sure that you can always prepare people directly for what they are going to do for their total earning years but if we can give them the proper basics then they will be prepared for training and retraining or applying their knowledge throughout their lives
Q You mentioned retraining Do you see the University System doing more of that perhaps in the years to come
Harris I think the world we are living in right now in the high technology period that we are in and the future that we see are going to require even more training and retraining to stay abreast of the changes in technology and changes in the future
Q It took quite some foresight when you first came in as governor to pick an issue that shortly after you announced your commitment to it has become a national commitment Harris I think as far as education is concerned we have been in the right place at the right time because of peoples attitudes and the willingness to accept the need to change or the need to improve or reform It couldnt have worked better because the year after we made our campaign statement in the rotunda of the Capitol that we were going to shake education from top to bottom the federal government began taking on the project All around the nation it has become a high priority for most states
Q Youve said its an exciting time to be in education Do you think the excitement will continue or that once the work gets started interest will slack off
Harris No I think the momentum has built and its going to continue for quite some time I hope that we can provide the kind of leadership that will keep the momentum and I think we can
Q There are people in the state who hammer at you little by little trying to chip away at parts of your program How do you deal with that
Harris Well you are always going to have people who are not understanding what you are trying to do at the moment or what your longrange objectives are or that you are working hard to get there During the first three years of this administration we have put over a billion dollars of new money into educational improvements and we have done it without a tax increase Fortyeight other states have had tax increases in the last three years We have been very fortunate we have been blessed that we have had the cash flow to be able to fund educational improvements The University System this year had the largest capital outlay in 25 years and the percentage salary increase is the highest since I have been in office We havent forgotten about one area of education at the expense of the other
Q After your tenure as governor how would you like to be known
Harris We always feel a lot of satisfaction from knowing that we have achieved the goals that we set out to accomplish and from knowing that our administration has had visions for the future of Georgia So far we are on track of being able to accomplish some of those goals I would hope that when I complete my service whenever that time comes that I can say that those goals have been achieved that we do have quality and excellence in our states educational system In the period of time that I served I would hope those years have not only been good for improving education but have been good for the economy of our state And at this point they have been

The System Summary
SREBs Engineering Study Proposal Is Approved
The Board of Regents has entered into a contract with the Southern Regional Education Board SREB to conduct a study of engineering education in Georgia
The Board had heard a proposal for the study at its July meeting and referred the decision on whether to accept the proposal to its executive committee which is composed of Board Chairman Arthur M Gignilliat Jr Vice Chairman Elridge McMillian immediate pastChairman Sidney O Smith Jr and Chancellor H Dean Propst That committee made the decision August 5 to go ahead with the study
Dr David Spence vice president and director of research for the SREB presented the proposal for the study which is scheduled to begin in September 1985 and end by February
1986
The study is designed to examine the needs and demands of Georgia industry its economy and its standards and ways of meeting these needs and demands now and in the future Georgias situation will be placed in the context of the total picture of engineering needs and education in the Southeast
Consisting of three parts the study proposal represents SREBs best idea of what elements should be included in such a study of engineering education said Spence The three parts are as follows
1 Consideration of general factors having significant impact on engineering education in any state
2 Analysis of the specific situation relating to engineering education in Georgia and
3 Reasonable options open to Georgia with likely consequences and the pros and cons of each option
The study is designed to answer the questions Are additional opportunities for engineering education needed in the state If so how may they be best provided Comprehensive indepth interviews and surveys of the needs of employers in Georgia industry will be conducted The number of students who are capable of undertaking engineering education programs will be determined and the student demand for the program will be taken into consideration The SREB will also look at the existing programs within the University System to see how well they are meeting these demands
The study will be concerned with both demand by specialization and demand by level of skills in design or applied orientation Final analysis will include supply and demand projections for Georgia
The study will also analyze the engineering industry situation in Georgia What kind of engineering is needed by different industries What is the mobility of engineering manpower and finally What is the estimate of inout migration of engineering graduates
Finally several options will be taken into consideration and will be reviewed on the basis of their advantages and disadvantages
There have been two previous studies conducted concerning engineering education within the University System
In March 1985 Georgia Institute of Technology officals recommended a 2plus2 program in which students would attend one of the Systems junior or senior colleges for the first two years and then transfer to Georgia Tech for the last two years Those graduating from the program would receive a bachelors degree in engineering from Georgia Tech Techs report stated that this type of program is the most costeffective alternative and offers the least possibility of widespread negative political response
In April the Regents staff report agreed with Georgia Techs recommendation and added the recommedation that the four System institutions which offer baccalaureate degrees in engineering technology be encouraged to participate in Georgia Techs 2plus2 program These four institutions are Georgia Southern College Southern Technical Institute Fort Valley State College and Savannah State College
Board member and current Chairman Arthur Gignilliat suggested that an impartial study was needed to provide more information about the engineering education needs of Georgias students and industry As a result of his suggestion the Board agreed to ask the SREB to submit a proposal for conducting a study

AJC Offers Education to Nontraditional Students
All students who can benefit from higher education should have a chance to do so
Edwin Thompson
It IS NOT COMMON for the president of a college to admit that his students will need all the help they can get
But Atlanta Junior College is not a traditional college and President Edwin Thompsons students are not traditional students AJC is a junior college with a unique mission A mission that seems to be paying off
Atlanta Junior College was founded in 1974 carrying an enrollment of 504 students It had virtually no facilities and had to borrow space from its neighbor Atlanta Area Technical School
Located in a partially secluded area between Stewart Avenue and 17585 in Southwest Atlanta AJC initially developed an unwanted reputation as Atlantas best kept secret the school that no one knew about
We had to establish ourselves and educate people to the fact that we were a real college explained President Thompson At first people in our community were not too familiar with the junior college concept and it was something less in the eyes of many Through public relations efforts and the successes of our graduates we have been able to convince people that we are indeed a real college and a legitimate unit of the University System of Georgia
Although a majority of Atlanta Junior Colleges students come from the surrounding communities others come from throughout the state other states and many foreign countries Thompson refers to many of these students as nontraditional
These students priorities are somewhat different from those of a tradi
tional student Thompson explained Their priorities are home work and then school Many of our students are highly motivated and that motivation is based more on need and personal desires rather than family encouragement
Nontraditional students at AJC frequently come from lowincome families and many begin college later than usual Some are the first members of their family to attend college and most of them have Scholastic Achievement Test SAT scores that are below the national average
According to Thompson that sterotypical AJC student is now changing becoming younger and more adapted to the college setting yet still scoring low in academic testing and grading
Although we do have open admission we have kept our requirements near the floor of the Systems admission requirements by using a sliding scale which includes high school grade point averages and SAT scores said Thompson We are admitting some students with combined SAT
scores below 700 but if we did not do that a large percentage of the students we serve would not be able to enter college
Once the students are accepted at Atlanta Junior College administrators and faculty members must work hard to keep them there AJC has one of the highest attrition rates in the University System Three hundred to 400 new students come to AJC each quarter which means that 18 to 26 percent of the students attending Atlanta Junior College each quarter are there for the first time Yet Thompson remains optimistic about each students chance for academic success
We believe that all students who can benefit from higher education should have a chance to do so said Thompson and without schools like Atlanta Junior College Georgia would lose some excellent minds
In order to keep some of the students from leaving AJC or losing interest in academics Thompson his staff and his faculty members agree to dedicate more time than normal to the

The System Summary
school and its community That dedication is what makes Atlanta Junior College stand out
The teachers dedication to student improvement is essential according to Thompson A former high school counselor he stresses a family atmosphere at Atlanta Junior College
We need a communityactive faculty people who are not so researchoriented said Thompson We must focus on teaching
It can not be just a three or fivehour job they have to commit themselves he continued We think that we have been quite successful in getting teachers who can fit into our environmentwho have the same ideas about the needs of many of our students and are willing to work with them
The family atmosphere at Atlanta Junior College becomes especially evident when considering the junior colleges recruitment programs Having spent 20 years in the Atlanta Public Schools as a teacher guidance counselor principal and superintendent Thompson feels a strong alliance between Atlanta Junior College and the surrounding high schools Sylvan High School was recently adopted by the college to receive academic services
An Upward Bound program that concentrates its efforts on students with potential from lowincome families bring students to the AJC campus every academic quarter The program coordinated with the Fulton County Schools is quite successful according to Thompson
Recruitment procedures are also performed by student groups counselors faculty and administrators Student choral groups frequently visit neighboring high schools and faculty and staff members are encouraged to participate in local school and community affairs Faculty and staff members such as Ojeda Penn Cynthia Watts Joy Peters and Charlotte Whitt have made a strong impact on the AJC community
Penn an associate professor of English is known throughout the area for his music He recently released his second jazz album entitled All Is One An assistant professor of speech and
drama Watts is a storyteller who is in demand in the Atlanta area She has performed at the Olde Christmas Storytelling Festival and more recently at the Atlanta Arts Festival in Piedmont Park Peters is active in the visual arts and a few years ago was a firstplace winner in an international competition Whitt graphic artist for the college recently held a painting unveiling ceremony for the senior citizens of the Atlanta Housing Authority High Rises at their main offices in downtown Atlanta
Dr Edwin Thompson with staff members
Atlanta Junior College employs a total faculty and staff of 122 Student enrollment went from 504 in the fall of 1974 to about 1500 the following academic year At one point the college had to put a ceiling on student enrollment because of a lack of facilities The highest enrollment ever at the college was 1715 in 1977 AJCs enrollment leveled off to slightly fewer than 1500 in the 1984 fall quarter
AJC recently initiated the Atlanta Junior College Foundation designed primarily to raise funds to provide financial assistance for needy and deserving students to attend college This foundation marks the first attempt by the junior college to initiate its own scholarship program
Probably the most important aspect of a successful recruitment program for Atlanta Junior College lies in its involvement with the surrounding community
We try to always keep our doors open by starting classes early in the morning and ending late at night Otherwise some working people would not be able to benefit from our services said Thompson We were kind ot superimposed on this community because established institutions like Georgia State University and the Atlanta
University Center already had visibility and influence We did not have a community so we had to carve one out for ourselves and establish our own identity
Thompson is very supportive of organizations or groups that want to use the campus facilities AJC provides resources for metro area public schools whether it involves facilities a speaker from campus or performing groups
Atlanta Junior College officials make a point of inviting senior citizens groups from homes for the elderly to every function that is held at the college Thompson said they sometimes come by the busload
Students come to Atlanta Junior Col

lege for many different reasons which may be one reason why the retention rate is so low Not all of our students are looking for a degree according to Thompson
We try to determine whether they are looking for job placement immediately after completing a twoyear program or whether they are coming here with the idea of later transferring to a fouryear college he said And then we advise them on what we think might be the better options for them to consider
President Thompson and his staff are always in contact with business leaders in the Atlanta community to determine the manpower needs of the area so that appropriate instructional programs can be made available to students He sees the importance of keeping up with times
We have found that communication skills are a must for todays college student said Thompson There is also a need for student flexibility Todays student must be able to adjust to adapt and to change in keeping with the job market So we are finding that we cannot continue doing what we have done for the past 10 years in exactly the same way especially since more emphasis today is being placed on technology
Many students go to Atlanta Junior to receive a more individualized approach to learning
That is why the relationship with AJCs neighbor Atlanta Area Technical School has grown The junior college and Atlanta Area Tech are located on adjacent campuses making it easy for students to take classes at both institutions
Cooperative programs between the
two schools began when AJC opened and there are currently 34 joint programs available The students enrolled in these programs upon graduation receive an associate degree of applied science from AJC and an equivalent vocational certificate from Atlanta Area Tech Some of the joint twoyear programs offered at Atlanta Area Tech include computer service technology diesel truck mechanics and surveying
This cooperative effort is designed to provide a liberal arts educational background for students who initially desired only a vocational degree It is also helpful for the liberal arts twoyear student who wishes to learn an applicable trade for better employment opportunities upon graduation
Thompsons academic committee works very closely with the academic committee at Atlanta Area Tech to ensure that programs offered at the two school are not duplicated There is no point in AJC offering typing if it is already offered at AAT said Thompson
Atlanta Junior College also offers associate degrees for students who wish to transfer to a fouryear institution at a later date These programs contain all core curriculum classes and other classes adaptable to fouryear degrees
Associate of science transfer programs are available in many fields including business education history radiologic technology and recreation
The twoyear associate of arts degree in available in speech and drama art foreign language English journalism music and philosophy
Because of Atlanta Junior Colleges personal approach to student problems many students go there to receive a more individualized approach to learning Thompson said he has established good relationships with many educators throughout the state who send their students to AJC for that personal touch
Struggling students are welcome at Atlanta Junior College We want them said Thompson They need the tutoring labs the caring teachers the special attention etc that are a part of our mission If students need
the kind of attention we can give them in order to make it send them to us Atlanta Junior College has provided students in the metro area with public higher education for 11 years And now according to Thompson the school would like to provide minor intercollegiate athletics for its students and the community initially including tennis track and field sports and softball Later maybe baseball andor basketball will be considered
President Thompson describes AJC atmosphere as an open climate that stems from the top
Currently AJC provides intramural athletic programs which Thompson says are very competitive in the Atlanta City Leagues He feels intercollegiate athletics would attract more students to the campus
Many of the students in our area attend other colleges simply because of their athletic programs said Thompson The students we have at Atlanta Junior College have attended public schools where they have had a wide range of activities In a commuter school like ours there is nothing to keep students on campus unless you have such programs
If you ask President Edwin Thompson to describe the people of Atlanta Junior College he would probably use words like caring progressive humane and talented He describes the campus atmosphere as an open climate that stems from the top
Atlanta Junior College is indeed a special type of school People who never had any intentions of finding the square root of 48 or of reading Shakespeares Hamlet are now doing so at a school that cares about them and their personal growth and success
According to Thompson There will always be a need for schools with a mission like oursB

Propst Issues Challenge Promises Dedication
Chancellor H Dean Propst made the following remarks after being sworn in as the eighth chancellor of the University System of Georgia
Governor Harris Chairman Gignilliat members of the Board of Regents members of the General Assembly Chancellor Crawford distinguished guests ladies and gentlemen
Let me first acknowledge some who are not physically present today
My mother and my father who were my first and my best teachers share with me this day which is the most important of my professional life They nurtured my mind and my spirit and taught me that mans first and highest obligation is service to his fellow man They cultivated in me faith in God from Whom all is given and to Whom all is owed And they loved me as much when I was wrong as when I was right I salute them They are present today in me
My teachers through the years share this day with me They recognized some potential in me and encouraged me never to settle for less than my intellectual best Their support and their concern for my development went beyond books into the realm of my full development as a human being The greatest of them was Dr Susan B Riley who represented for me the nobility of the profession of teaching and who lived the precept that all great teachers are forever and foremost learners I salute her and all those teachers who had such great impact on my life They are present today in me
I recognize all those present today come not primarily to honor me as an individual but to demonstrate their support for the continuing democratic dream of a society in which access to excellence of educational opportunity is the means by which we maintain not only our freedom but also our dignity as human beings We are united in a mutual determination that future generations of citizens in this great state will be able to live fuller and better lives because of what we collectively have done
The challenges before us as we attempt to improve the quality of education in the state of Georgia are formidable To meet those challenges successfully will require the dedication and hard work of political leaders educational leaders business and industrial leaders and of the states citizens working in a constructive partnership with a vision governed not by the boundaries of what is but by the dream of what ought to be

The System Summary
NakedNecked Chickens Better at Keeping Cool
TOO MUCH HEAT KILLS CHICKENS And over the past few recordhot summers heat has killed hundreds of thousands of chickens and shriveled profits for producers of the states numberone commodity broilers
When a heat wave moves in producers do the best they can with what theyve gotfans misters and abundant supplies of water to quench parched chickens But another kind of help may be on the horizon
Poultry science researchers at the University of Georgia are studying ways to increase a birds tolerance to heat through genetic selection Theyre hoping to produce a hardy chicken that can withstand the hot temperatures and crowded conditions that chickens must endure
The larger the bird the less resistant it is to heat says Kenneth Washburn UGA poultry scientist And of course the industry wants the largest bird it can get because it produces the most meat The two factors work against each otherits kind of a Catch 22 for producers he said
Washburn has succeeded at breeding a more heatresistant bird but not without producing a drop in body weighta side effect thats unacceptable to producers So hes looking at other characteristics like fewer feathers that might help a chicken to laugh in the face of heat
Were evaluating birds that have up to 30 percent fewer feathers This

is
Nakednecked chicken
helps them dissipate body heat but still leaves enough feathers to protect the skin and meat underneath he said
Washburns also studying a bird without neck feathers He calls it a nakednecked chicken A strange looking bird perhaps but one thats efficient at dissipating body heat
Also under scrutiny is the possibility of controlling the birds body metabolism rate through genetic selection If
researchers can select for a decreased thyroid rate they may increase heat resistance without altering body weight
There are many possibilities according to Washburn But until researchers can breed a heat resistant bird that meets all other demands of producers processors and consumers all growers can do is use management practices that keep their losses to a minimum And hope for a cool front

The System Summary
University System Health Plan Features CostCutting Benefits
With the cost of health care skyrocketing cost containment in health care plans has become vitally important The University System likewise is concerned with cost containment and has implemented a number of cost containment features with incentives to the employees as an inducement to use them Three cost containment features of the University System of Georgias Health Care Benefits Plan which reduce the length of or eliminate an expensive hospital stay are as follows
Ambulatory Surgical Center Benefits
Ambulatory surgical centers perform outpatient surgery and are public or private establishments with an organized staff of doctors that have permanent facilities equipped mainly to provide outpatient surgery These centers do not offer overnight facilities but a doctor and a registered nurse are available the entire time the patient is present
Under this outpatient feature of the plan surgical procedures which normally are done on an inpatient basis may be performed in an ambulatory surgical center or in an outpatient department of a hospital and reimbursement will be made for the reasonable and customary charges at the rate of 100 percent rather than 80 percent All deductibles are waived under this provision of the contract
Birthing Center Benefits
Services provided at birthing centers are covered 100 percent of reasonable and customary charges rather than 80 percent if they are services normally provided in hospitals All deductibles are waived if this feature of the plan is utilized Birthing centers provide a controlled environment for childbirth and a short recovery period for the mother and her child The centers which must be licensed can be freestanding facilities or part of a qualified hospital
PreAdmissions Testing Benefits
Another cost containment feature of the University System plan is the preadmission testing benefit If a patients scheduled hospital confinement involves testing and that testing can be done on an outpatient basis it will be covered 100 percent rather than 80 percent if the patient is admitted within seven days of the testing
Every regular employee who is working at least halftime with the University System is eligible for coverage under the plan Individuals covered by the plan whether under an individual plan or a family plan only pay 25 percent of the total cost of the plan The other 75 percent is paid by the employer Under an individual plan premiums are currently 1610 per month while under the family plan in which spouse unmarried children under 19 or children under 25 who are fulltime students are covered premiums are 3940 per month
Information Technology Study Under Way Throughout System
Dr Jesse Poore associate vice president of academic affairs and professor of information and computer science at the Georgia Institute of Technology gave an Information Technology Task Force ITTF progress report at the July Board of Regents meeting
The ITTF was created earlier this year by the Regents Special Committee on Availability of Student Computers That committee which consists of Regents Jackie M Ward Julius F Bishop and Floyd L Summer Jr appointed Poore to lead the ITTF The purpose of the task force is to determine how computers can be used as tools of education within the University System
The task force is divided into three work groups facilities headed by James Carmon faculty training headed by Morris Roberts and curriculum headed by Morgan Stapleton Each group has developed methods of gathering significant data
The facilities work group whose research is under way is creating a profile of System institutions through a census of faculty students and staff in order to understand their personal ownership and usage of computers The group will look at the University System Computer Network report and engage in some technology forcasting according to Poore
Roberts faculty training work group plans to summarize the current programs in the System make assessments of the knowledge and involvement of the faculty in computerrelated matters through a selective survey carry out a general computerbased literature survey and survey institutions outside the System to see what they are doing
The curriculum work group is the toughest because the issues are not on an individual basis and they are very slow moving matters according to Poore Stapletons group is examining existing curricula by asking each president to organize thought leaders These leaders will gather examples of how computers are used within the present curricula The leaders are also asked to suggest other courses in which computers may be helpful This work group will also conduct a general computerbased literature survey and will survey institutions outside the System
The final report should explain how students and faculty can take advantage of existing resources and facilities It will outline what the institutions can do to help create a computerliterate atmosphere and also make suggestions as to how the chancellors office the legislature and the governors office can help
The ITTF project is expected to be completed in September the final report will be ready in October and in November the results will be presented to the Board of Regents

South Georgia Colleges Elderhostel Program Largest in State
In nearly 16 years that I have stood before classes I have never experienced such an elan of enthusiasm and raw energy You could teach these people anything and they would learn it You could give them any sort of homework and they would do it
Free from the daybyday cares of raising families and bringing home paychecks the Elderhostelers personify what being a student is supposed to be all about said Gary Kolar a former professor of English at South Georgia College who served as an instructor in the South Georgia College version of Elderhostel
Elderhostel according to Norma Reed the coordinator of the program at SGC is a lowcost oneweek residential academic program for people over 60 Based in Boston the program has a network of some 800 colleges and other educational settings in all 50 states and Canada and several foreign countries and is coordinated through state directors
Participants stay in college dormitories eat in college dining facilities and have access to the educational cultural and recreational resources of the host institution in addition to taking three noncredit courses The courses liberal arts and science subjects are taught by the institutions faculty and are designed to be challenging and thoughtprovoking yet require no prior knowledge or formal training in the
subject
The South Georgia College program started in 1980 is the largest in the state and has drawn people from all 50 states Canada and England The programs are offered from October through the summer months with the highest rate of participation during the summer months
At SGC members of each Elderhostel group get a taste of community life and have a chance to get to know one another better through the sharing of their hobbies
Dr Richard Cotton SGCs Director of Continuing Education says the program provides an excellent opportu
In 1975 when the Elderhostel program started there were 220 participants nationwide and in 1984 the participation of older citizens had risen to 80000
nity for faculty members to teach courses of special interest to them which serves to renew their enthusiasm in teaching and their commitment to the educational process

Miller Deems Education High Priority for Georgia
EDITOR S NOTE The following interview with Lt Gov Zell Miller is the second in a series on individuals who have an impact on the University System of Georgia If you have any comments or suggestions regarding this series please write to us
Q Your affiliation with Young Harris College is widely known With that in mind what impact did college have on you
Miller Both of my parents were teachers at Young Harris College That is how they met I was born on the cam
pus and grew up in the shadow of the school and so it had a profound effect My father was a history teacher and my mother was an art teacherso one dealt in dreams and the other dealt in reality I got a little from both of them
I understood from the beginning the importance of education particularly higher education I saw the people come to that college work to get through it and go on to jobs Most of the people at that time worked through college so 1 came to realize that college education was something that you worked for that it was something that was very valuable
Q 1 understand that you came very close to getting your PhD Do you think you will ever finish
Miller No because there is a rule that you have to finish your PhD work within seven years and I did everything except my dissertation and a few courses I never did get back I guess it is one of the biggest regrets 1 have in my life It was one of the few jobs that I felt I didnt finish
Q So much recently has been said about private colleges versus public colleges In light of the drop in the number of collegeage students what do you think the relationship between private and public colleges should be like
Miller I think we need to avoid competition between public and private colleges because there is a place for both Continued on Page 16

The System Summary
Institutions Required To
A POLICY RELATING TO THE SALE use distribution and possession of alcohol at University System institutions was adopted by the Board of Regents in August and will become effective September 1
The policy requires that each of the 33 institutions in the University System adopt and disseminate comprehensive policies and procedures consistent with state and local laws covering the use distribution and possession of alcoholic beverages on campus and at institutionallysponsored events off campus
The policy includes the provision that disciplinary sanctions for violation of the policies or other unauthorized use of alcoholic beverages shall be included in each institutions disciplinary code of conduct Each institution will be required to stress in its policy the importance of individual responsibility for the use of alcohol
According to Regents Vice Chancellor for Student Services Thomas McDonald the policy was created in response to nationwide concern over alcohol abuse to recent legislation raising the legal drinking age and to recent court decisions which found that the providers of alcohol to underage drinkers may be liable for damages caused by the intoxicated drinkers
When Georgias legal drinking age is raised from 19 to 20 on September 30 approximately one third of the students enrolled in University System institutions will be below the legal drinking age That portion will increase to about one half next year when the legal age rises to 21
The InterAssociation Task Force on Alcohol Issues which was established in 1982 and which consists of several national groups of college administrators has developed a Model Alcohol Policy to assist institution administrators in the development of policies for their institutions McDonald said Each institution will adapt the model to fit its individual situation
The model suggests that institutional policies include a summary of state and city laws covering the sale and use of alcohol and specify exact locations if any where alcohol is permitted on campus Institutions are also encouraged to develop alcohol education programs for students The model policys guidelines for public and private social events specify that at such events
Nonalcoholic beverages must be available at the same

place as the alcoholic beverages and featured as prominently as the alcoholic beverages
A reasonable portion of the budget for the event shall be designated for the purchase of food items
No social event shall include any form of drinking contest in its activities or promotion
Advertisements for any university event where alcoholic beverages are served shall mention the availability of nonalcoholic beverages as prominently as alcohol Alcohol should not be used as an inducement to participate in a campus event
Individuals sponsoring the event should implement precautionary measures to ensure that alcoholic beverages are not accessible or served to persons under the drinking age or to persons who appear to be intoxicated
The model policy also includes a statement concerning the use or nonuse of alcoholic beverages in athletic facilities or at athletic events and a statement concerning the use or nonuse of alcoholic beverages at membership recruitment functions such as fraternity and sorority rush

FORESTRY
A booming industry and
the subject of ongoing research
The System Summary
PINE TREES are something most Georgians take for granted So are wood products such as cardboard boxes typing paper and photographic film However forestry in Georgia represents an 86 billion industry and employs 80000 people according to 1985 statistics from the Georgia Forestry Commission
Georgia leads the nation in acres of commercial forest land and in paper and pulpwood production Georgia also leads the South in lumber production
The University of Georgias School of Forest Resources is very much involved in the research and technological improvements needed to keep up with the demand for wood and wood products which increases daily and is expected to jump 50 percent by the year 2000
When oil was inexpensive and plentiful plastics made from cheap oil served as substitutes for wood products and depressed the wood market As the supply of natural resources such as gas and oil is depleted and becomes increasingly expensive while the worlds population increases wood products will be in continuous demand in the future
As other resources are depleted said Leon A Hargreaves Jr UGAs dean of the School of Forest Resources The forester will assume a more highly valued position in society and provide a strong voice not only in resource planning and direction but in industrial and economic affairs
I am predicting Hargreaves continued in a 1985 report that the future will require more highly and broadly trained foresters The forestry schools have an obligation to see that their programs make for leaders and that these leaders accept the obligation to make the forests of the world contribute fully to human needs
Difficulties in bringing timber to market along with unfavorable climates limit the ability of some regions to meet the increase in demand Four of the other major wood producing areas of the worldthe Soviet Union Japan Canada and Western Europeare facing a steady decrease in wood supplies while the United States supply is expected to increase
Although the United States consumes a fourth of the total world wood production it is also the largest single source of forest products in the world Because of the United States favorable climate wood management knowhow and improving technology the United States is the ideal source for future world wood supplies
Unlike the exhaustible resources of oil and gas timber resources are renewable and becoming increasingly more valuable Improving the forest management practices of private landowners who own about 65 percent of Georgias forest land is a major concern of University of Georgia researchers Reforestation will not only help meet the demand for wood and wood products but will also in the long run help the landowners financially
Because forestry researchers and Georgia Extension Service specialists warn that without improved management the industry will not be able to sustain itself past the turn of the century researchers at UGA are studying alternatives
to the high cost of clearing and replanting pine forest
Our goal is to develop ways for private landowners to produce timber as cheaply as possible while conserving valuable topsoil according to A1 Smith UGA agronomy researcher at the Georgia Experiment Station near Griffin
It costs landowners from 200 to 400 an acre to clear land for replanting pines Smith continued So were looking at ways to regenerate forest without going through the step of bulldozing Mechanical clearing is not only expensive it causes soil erosion and discourages wildlife as well
Research plays an invaluable role in the management of forest resources
Researchers are working on the development of safe systems to kill hardwoods that compete with valuable pines for sun water and soil nutrients Herbicides that are safe for humans and wildlife but lethal to hardwoods are one alternative being developed Once the hardwoods are dead pine seedlings are handplanted between the dead trees which can be used for firewood by the landowner

Measuring pines growth
Continued from Previous Page
Researchers are also evaluating alternative uses for land that is in the slow process of regenerating pine forest Were studying the economics involved in converting woodland to pasture so that it can be used for grazing livestock while its growing pines for timber Smith said The pasture grasses hold the topsoil while the pine seedlings are getting established
UGA researchers are constantly studying new methods of saving land soil and water from contamination and erosion new methods of speeding up tree maturation new developments in pesticides and fertilizer and even the development of new species of trees
The first successful testtube pine tree was developed in UGAs forestry labs Through this type of research scientists hope to one day createfrom one huge healthy tree forest lands of the same type tree What it will take is a single cell from a perfect tree and the proper care to create another perfect tree and eventually a productive forest
The University of Georgias School of Forest Resources
plays a major role in training forestry specialists The school is fully accredited by the Society of American Foresters and is one of the top five schools in the country Established in 1906 it is the oldest forestry school in the South The University of Georgia currently owns 24087 acres of land which is managed by the School of Forest Resources and is used for study and research
The school offers the bachelor of science in forest resources in four areas of concentration forest management forest water resources fish and wildlife biology and forestry sciences The graduate school offers a master of science a master of forest resources and a doctor of philosophy in all disciplines related to forest resources The School of Forest Resources is a small school but a school of high quality with a rather tough curriculum explained Dean Hargreaves
Abraham Baldwin Agriculture College ABAC offers a forestry and wildlife management transfer program which prepares the student through the appropriate core curriculum to transfer to the University of Georgia ABAC also offers a twoyear forest technician program for students working toward a technical degree
Forestry is a broad discipline and requires a combination of mathematics botanical and physical sciences human relations engineering salesmanship and business skills according to the US Forest Services Foresters can perform a wide variety of jobs in state federal private and industrial businesses
According to Dr Graham Brister coordinator of the International Forestry Center at UGA industries provide the most favorable type jobs for UGAs graduates Individuals can go to work for companies such as Georgia Pacific Union Camp St Regis Paper Company and DuPont to name just a few of the many in the region
Some of the varied work foresters are involved in according to the US Forest Service includes preparing and revising timbermanagement plans planning and supervising the installation of flood control soil conservation and watershed improvements managing wildlife habitat including big and small game and prime fishing streams and developing recreational facilities such as campgrounds trails swimming areas and other installations to meet outdoor recreation needs
As Hargreaves reminds us In the future there will be less of every human necessity to support acceptable standards of living The forests of the world will be called upon to provide more and more wood for energy paper and construction materials Without the forestry business and without the proper schools to train men and women interested in the field of forestry our forests would not be able to provide the many human needs and necessities they provide today

The System Summary
Cruising Timber
AFTER SEVERAL HOURS of traipsing through the raindrenched forest I began to tire of the beggarlice clinging to my jeans the tiny ticks stuck to my skin and the snakes slithering past me Animalsdomestic and wildwatched as I trudged among the huge stands of timber I was surrounded by Mother Nature and three forestry students from the University of Georgia
Cruising timber is one of many tasks encountered by foresters The objective is to estimate the total value of an area of timber
That Saturday morning at 5 am Randy Brett GM and I set out to cruise 250 acres of timber Because I was along just to observe the land was divided among the three students Using his hypsometer diameter tape and increment borer Randy estimated the height width and age of the trees As he called out the figures 1 charted the numbers on a tally card Pines and hardwoods are tallied separately because the price range is different
We used the line plot method to cruise this particular lot of timber Each line is five chains 330 feet apart and each plot is four chains 264 feet apart
We estimated up and down the timber lines all day in the heat and rain Finally when it became too dark to see we headed back home drenched to the bone covered with dirt and full of knowledge to help us estimate the value of the timber
According to one of the forestry students those who enjoy the outdoors will find the actual cruise the most enjoyable and the easiest part of estimating the value of timber The rough part is back in the computer lab where the students must evaluate their findings

Southern Tech Given Approval for Masters Degree
The Board of Regents at its August meeting made the following decisions concerning degree offerings at University System institutions
Georgia Southwestern College
Georgia Southwesterns request to offer a concentration of office automation under the existing associate of applied sciences degree structure was approved by the Board The program effective fall quarter is designed to prepare students to meet the needs of the automated office of the business world
The program which is an option in the associate of applied sciences programs with South Georgia Vocational and Technical School will replace the outdated programs associate in arts with a major in secretarial office administration and the associate in arts with a major in clerical office administration
Southern Technical Institute
The Board approved the request from Southern Tech to offer a master of technology management degree effective fall quarter 1985
The program is designed to study productivity improvement concepts in manufacturing construction and service industries Because it will address the human resources and production management problems associated with manufacturing industries this program will be the only one of its type in the state All other master of business administration programs are oriented toward marketing accounting and financial management primarily for commercial business operations
Macon Junior College
The Board approved Macon Junior Colleges request to offer a major in fire service administration under the existing associate of applied science degree structure effective fall quarter 1985
The objectives of this program are to provide the administrators of the fire departments in central Georgia with an associate degree program designed to strengthen their leadership and their services to provide the firefighter with a means of promotion through the earning of a jobrelated college degree and to provide the general public with an opportunity to earn college credit leading to employment in a service area
The City of Macon will grant tuition assistance of 50 percent of the cost of tuition or a maximum of 500 per year to each firefighter completing courses leading to the degree Those completing the degree will have one year subtracted from the number of years required for promotion and will receive a 1000 bonus An additional 1000 bonus will be awarded to those completing a bachelors degree in an appropriate related field of study
Regents Change Board Policy On Presidents Housing Benefit
A CHANGE IN THE BOARD OF REGENTS POLICY on housing for institution presidents was approved in August
The change deletes in its entirety the Policy 90902 A as it reads now and replaces that wording with the following
Houses will be provided for presidents of Type I institutions universities without charge as an additional employee benefit Existing presidental housing at Type II senior colleges and Type III junior colleges institutions will be phased out as rapidly as possible and no additional presidents houses shall be purchased or constructed for those institutions after this date Presidents who are currently furnished housing shall continue to occupy that house during their tenure as president
The deleted policy read Homes may be provided for presidents of institutions of the University System without charge as an additional employee benefit
The new policy was implemented to avoid future requests for upgrading existing houses or constructing new houses for institution presidents
Future presidents of senior and junior colleges will be recruited with the understanding that the housing allowance will be a portion of compensation but the provision of a house will not be included
Existing homes will be absorbed in the regular campus activities where possible or sold if the location of the house is such that its sale is more desirable The Regents staff will develop suitable administrative procedures to implement this
Recruitment of presidents now under way will not be affected by this action unless the successful applicant specifically wishes to receive a housing allowance in lieu of the presidents home where one is available

The System Summary
Regents Object to APT A
AT THE AUGUST MEETING the Board of Regents adopted a statement expressing concern over the American Physical Therapy Associations position that postbaccalaureate education be required for entrylevel physical therapy positions
In 1979 the APTA adopted a resolution calling for the entry level to be at the postbaccalaureate level effective in 1990 In 1981 the association assumed responsibility for accreditation of all physical therapy programs and the APTAs accreditation reviews from 1985 on require a plan for transition from a baccalaureate program to a masters level program
Despite requests from several groups and organizations including a Presidents Commission of the APTA to reconsider this requirement the APTA reaffirmed its position at its annual meeting in March
In recent months the higher education governing or coordinating boards of two states have expressed concerns to the APTA and Louisiana is entering a class action suit against the association The State Higher Education Executive Offi
GSU To Continue Using Space On DeKalb Community Campus
AN AGREEMENT between Georgia State University and the DeKalb County Board of Education for the continued use of space on the DeKalb Community College campus was approved by the Board of Regents in August
Under the agreement Georgia State will be allowed to use specified classrooms offices and athletic fields for the term of the agreement August 1 1985 through June 30 1986 Georgia State faculty staff and students will also be allowed to use the library student center and other common areas on the north south and central campuses of DeKalb Community College
In exchange Georgia State will pay certain maintenance and operating costs specified in the agreement
Georgia State will use the space to offer upper division and graduate courses only and no lower division courses will be offered unless specifically approved in writing by the president of DeKalb Junior College according to the agreement Georgia State may however offer noncredit continuing education courses on the campuses if they do not conflict with any DeKalb Community College course offerings
Entrylevel Requirement
cers organization has written to the APTA to express its concern and suggest that the issue be reviewed by interested groups
There is concern among educators Chancellor H Dean Propst told the Board about the increasing encroachment into academic matters and about attempts to dictate academic policy
In the University System of Georgia two institutions offer physical therapy programs Georgia State University offers the BS degree and the MS degree in four areas of concentration and the Medical College of Georgia offers an associate degree for physical therapy assistants the baccalaureate degree in physical therapy and a master of health education
Deans and staff members at Georgia State and the Medical College along with Regents staff members developed the statement that was adopted by the Regents to be sent to the APTA and other appropriate officials
The five areas of concern expressed in the statement are
The potential for increased cost to clients or patients through reduced number of programs and graduates
The prolongation of a course of study with attendant increase in costs to students without any conclusive evidence of the need to have a postbaccalaureate entry level
The problems of licensure by states and confusion which may result from conflicting requirements among and between states
The lack of meaningful communication and development of consensus among and between the association and academic groups as to the appropriateness of postbaccalaureate entry level and
The perception of a unilaterally developed position by an organization which has advocacy responsibilities for a profession and accreditation powers for educational programs
Therefore the statement continues the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia urges that the American Physical Therapy Association reexamine its position on the postbaccalaureate entry level resolution and that association officers meet with representatives of the appropriate academic governmental associations and higher education governing or coordinating bodies to resolve the issues and concerns which have developed

of them It is important that the University System and private colleges recognize each others strengths and work to complement each other rather than duplicate course work and programs One of the reasons we first came up with tuition equalization grants was so the state could help students attend private colleges in areas where state programs arent available
Q You have served as lieutenant governor longer than anyone else During that time you have seen a number of changes Can you give a perspective on what has happened in this state during that time
Miller Well I have seen Georgia and the South go from one of the nations most depressed regions to one of the worlds fastest growing regions During the 11 years that I have been lieutenant governor I have seen the states population grow by 20 percent There are a million more people in Georgia now than there were when I first was elected The first year I was in office Governor George Busbee and I were so proud that Georgia had one billion dollars of manufacturing capital investment We had over 11 billion of manufacturing capital in this state last year We have grown at a very rapid pace When I was first elected we did not have any international finance investors in Georgia now we have 25 Back then we had about 150 foreign international business facilities and now we have close to 1000
Q How has higher education changed
Miller First in 1975 the state budget was at 18 billion dollars 1 think something like 265 million of it went for the University System This year we have a budget of 48 million and some 720 million dollars was for the
University System So over the past decade the state budget for higher education has increased at about the same ratio maybe just a little bit more than the state budget as a whole I think one of the big changes in higher educationthis was coming along before 1 was elected lieutenant governor but it has come to fruition during my time in officeis that postsecondary education is much more accessible to Georgia citizens than it was I think the curriculum has also changed I think it is more geared for training people for the job market than it used to be We used to educate a lot of folks and then when they got that degree there wasnt a job for them even with that degree
There is a tightening of academic standards We used to have really just wide open education and that resulted in more remedial programs Now with the stiffer admission requirements and stronger academic emphasis I would say it has changed for the better
Q As an author of three books you have a good foundation in reading and writing the basis skills The Regents Test has come under fire several times by those who say that it discriminates against minorities and the disadvantaged We have taken the position that any college graduate should have those basic skills How do you feel about the use of the test to measure these skills and how do you feel about the Board of Regents mandate that students should have these skills
Miller There is nothing more important than having writing and reading skills I dont see how you can learn much of anything without them This has been one of the changes that I have seen I taught at Young Harris College in the late 50s early 60s I then taught at Emory University in the late 70s and early 80s and 1 think I could see that even at a fine university like Emory there was a deterioration of writing skills among students I dont think skills were as good in the 70s and 80s as they were back in the 60s I am very much in favor of requiring the test
Q You have been very much concerned that we lack stateoftheart equipment in the System You were quoted in 1983 as saying that you were appalled at the state of modem equipment and that this situation was detrimental to efforts to recruit business to Georgia Do you think we have made any progress since
Miller Yes we have made some progress but we havent made nearly enough I recently looked that upwe have 65 million dollars in this years appropriation for the University System for equipment but that is about a tenth of what we need I guess the bottom line is that we are aware that we have this need and we are working on it but a whole lot more needs to be done There is a good reason that this has happenedit is not so much negligence on the states partits that technologies become sophisticated so quickly that it has been hard for our educational institutions to keep up Its a whole lot more expensive to equip programs like computer science than to get new English or history books
Q You are probably very aware of our equipment needs but do you think that the people that you work with in the Senate are
Miller We have a State Senate Committee that for the second year has studied this problem One of the reasons that I had that committee established was that 1 wanted more and more people to realize what a tremendous problem this is It is a problem that in all fairness to this state doesnt exist only in Georgia This is also a problem nationwide Equipment is so expensive so sophisticated and changes so rapidly
Q Will the Senate stay focused on this for a number of years
Miller As long as I am around I am going to continue to have them study it and it is going to be something that we are going to look very closely at whenever the appropriations bill comes along

The System Summary
Lt Gov Zell Miller
you are trying to attract to Georgia what have they said about education and how important do they find it in making a decision to come here
Miller I think it is extremely important to a company deciding to locate in Georgia from the standpoint of providing a skilled work force If these businesses see that a state is educationally oriented and is willing to put a lot of its budget into education it says something about the leadership of the state I think the fact that we did what we did with the Quality Basic Education bill sends a signal to the business community that we realize that we have to improve education in Georgia
Q Do you think we are still behind somewhat with what other states are doing in respect to education
Miller We may be behind some states but I think we are competitive with all the states in the Southeast and that really is who we have to compete with Whenever a business decides to come to Georgia they first decide that they probably want to come to the Southeast Then they begin to look at which state in the Southeast and thats why 1 think it is important that we compete or be better than any of the other states in the Southeast
Q When you sit back how would you like to be remembered
Miller I got into politics because I wanted to see real progress made in education and I have always had to deal with the fact that politicians looked upon me as an educator and educators looked upon me as a politician 1 would like to think I made some contribution to having education upgraded in this state and that I was part of the team I have worked with some very good governors I think 1 was part of the team that did move this state forward in education and economic growth From a more personal standpoint I would like it to be said that it is possible for a person to come from a very isolated area of the state and be elected lieutenant governor
Q Do you think you will ever go back to teaching
Miller Yes 1 would like to go back to teaching at some time I dont know that I would like to go back to teaching political science or history as 1 once did I think I would prefer now to be involved in Appalachian studies or something that is related more to the mountain region because that is where I will be going back
Q Is there one cause that you have or one goal you have focused on for the coming year
Miller No I think we still have a long way to go as far as making this Quality Basic Education program that I am so
very high on a reality and making sure that it is adequately funded We have passed the law It is a good law Now the challenge is to implement it and I want to be a part of that I would also like to see the groundswell of support for higher education that we felt as this new program passed this year go on
Q Elementary and secondary education have been the focus of efforts to improve education Do you think higher education is going to come under the microscope ultimately
Miller Yes I think as better qualified young people come out of our public schools that presents even more of a challenge for our higher education institutions

Compassionate
Last fall a movement that began in Victorian England infiltrated the sanc
tity of research at the Medical College of Georgia virtually halting a research
project in Dr Barry Goldsteins labor
atory
Goldstein assistant professor of phar
macology and toxicology at MCG has
a research contract with the Department
of Defense A phone call in early Octo
ber alerted him to the following news
A directive had been issued investiga tors with Defense Department contracts should not order more dogs or cats for research purposes until further notice
Alarmed because these animals are necessary for his research Goldstein called his department liaison
I asked him Whats going on said Goldstein

We dont know was the reply
What was happening it turned out was that the animal rights movement had made headway into government bureaucracy and for the first time into the laboratories of MCG
Animal experimentation is the life blood of biomedical research An in
creasingly vocal and sometimes violent group would like to put an end to research on living animals As antivivisectionists and animal rights activists progress in their efforts its difficult to
ignore the impact they could have on the future of medicine
Goldsteins dilemma has been resolved After several months he was notified that his project could continue Although Goldsteins research has resumed his experience offers a forebod
Use of Animals Vital for Research
ing glimpse into what could happen if the animal rights movement proceeds in its ultimate quest and stops animal experimentation altogether
It would be devastating to science Goldstein said
When discussing the need for animal experimentation researchers are quick to point out medical advances made possible through this type of research Animals have long been necessary for drug studies and developing new surgical techniques Human organ transplantation was preceded by years of research on dogs pigs and monkeys
Its ethically undesirable to experiment on humans said Dr Lowell
Greenbaum vicepresident for research Animal models are required because experiments have to be verified and quantified When suitable animals are unavailable progress is slowed he said Research on multiple sclerosis has been hindered for example because appropriate animal models dont exist
Most of what we know about the function of the body has been applied to humans from animal experiments said Dr Susan Porterfield Porterfield plays a key role in animal research at MCG She is chairman of the Committee on Animal Use in Research and Education CAURE a powerful conglomerate on the MCG campus which Continued on Page 6

The System Summary
Board Requests 323 State Appropriation Increase
The Board of Regents has requested a 323 percent increase in the University Systems state appropriation for the 1987 fiscal year The increase in dollars is 200169401 for a total requested state appropriation of 880814122 The state appropriation for the 1986 fiscal year was 680644721
The FY 87 budget request which was approved by the Board at its September meeting now goes to the states Office of Planning and Budget for refinement then to Gov Joe Frank Harris who will present the request along with those of other state agencies to the General Assembly in the 1986 session
Included in the state appropriation request is 117600000 for capital outlay See Page 2 for a breakdown of projects included in that request If approved in full that amount would be a significant increase over the previous years capital outlay appropriation of 2200000 However University System officials do not expect the full amount funded According to Vice Chancellor for Fiscal Affairs Jacob Wamsley funding for the construction projects may be obtained through other methods such as bond sales
Also included in the request is 30556900 for University System salary increases and 9 million for the operation of DeKalb Community College which may become a unit of the University System next year
A requested 44 percent increase in the amount for resident instruction brings that portion of the appropriation request for 1987 to 558213860 That increase includes among many other factors money for increases in Social
Security health insurance utilities and major repairrehabilitation MRR funds The requested increase in funding for MRR would bring this years funding closer to the full formula level which specifies that the MRR budget should include 3A of one percent of the University Systems fixed assets
The increase in requested money for the Eminent Scholars Program would provide for programs to be added this year at Georgia State University and the Medical College of Georgia Such programs were funded last year for the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech If the requested 1500000 increase is received Georgia Tech and UGA will each have two Eminent Scholar chairs and Georgia State and the Medical College will each have one
According to Wamsley the 323 percent increase in the request for state appropriation would still leave the University System with a 6 million reduction in real dollars because of enrollment declines when compared with the FY 86 request
It may seem incongruous to say that were asking for a 200 million increase and will still have a 6 million reduction but its true he said
The formula use to determine the appropriation request is enrollmentdriven The enrollment figure used to determine the FY 87 request is based on the 198485 enrollment figure which is lower than that of 198384 on which the FY 86 appropriation was based Therefore the computation for the FY 87 budget using the 198485 enrollment produces 6 million less than it would if based on the 198384 enrollment

Administrative Development Fellows Begin Program
The SIX University System faculty members who have been selected to participate in this years Regents Administrative Development Program have begun their yearlong fellowships
Initiated in 198485 the development program is part of the University Systems further desegregation plan and is designed to increase minority presence at the administrative level within the System by providing a year of administrative development for selected minority faculty and staff members who have demonstrated interest in and the potential for leadership and administrative responsibilities in higher education
This years participants began the program in August at the Georgia Center of Continuing Education in Athens in an intensive twoweek study of administrative concepts and principles conducted by the University of Georgias Institute of Higher Education IHE
From there the fellows reported to their predominantly white host institutions where they will spend this next academic year gaining as much exposure as possible to institutional and program administration and participating in systematic coordinated professional experiences involving administrative activities
The participants hope to be offered administrative positions in System institutions when their fellowships are completed In exchange for the years professional experience provided by the fellowship they are obligated to work in the System for one year either in their previous positions or in new ones The fellows receive their full salaries throughout the program and are promised that their regular jobs will be held for them Those fellows who must relocate receive funds for that purpose as well as travel expenses
They are assigned first to the host institution president and then later to other administrators as necessary in order to obtain the broadestpossible experience
During the fellowship period participants conduct an administrative research project designed to provide them with a learning experience and to be of value to their host institutions Throughout the year the fellows report to and consult with coordinators at the IHE
At the end of the year the program winds up with an evaluation seminar at the IHE at which participants will present reports on their fellowships
The six participants for the 198586 academic year along with their home and host institutions are
Dr Linda Akanbi coordinator of the graduate reading program and assistant professor of reading at Albany State College will be at Armstrong State College
Dr Mary Frasier associate professor at the University of Georgia and coordinator of Program for the Gifted will be at Kennesaw College

Research
Continued from Front Cover
has the ability to deny requests for experimental animals based on a researchers proposed procedures CAURE operates with three permanent committee members plus six faculty serving twoyear terms each working with a twomember subcommittee
The committee is mandated by the National Institutes of Health to obtain grants and contracts but MCG has taken measures beyond government demands This campus has tried to stay ahead of NIH guidelines Porterfield said Researchers must file annually for approval Their methods must conform to regulations spelled out in volumes of paperwork spanning issues from ventilation to euthanasia
It is not Porterfield insists a rubber stamp committee She estimates that 10 percent of the initial requests are turned down a move that creates hostility among a few investigators because they do expect it to be a rubber stamp committee She added though that generally we dont encounter any resistance Most people doing research are concerned about animal welfare Scientists also are conscious of the necessity to monitor animal research A single case of abuse could jeopardize the institutions accreditation and result in a violation of the federal Animal Welfare Act Were under a lot of pressure to police effectively Porterfield said
When requests are denied the committee usually suggests alternatives which will make the proposal more acceptable The most common cause of rejection is the method of anesthesia Often she said this occurs because better procedures have been developed or the proposed method is inappropriate for a particular species
Some researchers do voice complaints about the delay created by the necessity to obtain committee approval
It takes about three weeks to process a request said Porterfield a period she terms an inconvenience not a major
delay Dr Brian Morgan of Columbia University in New York says this delay is good for animal welfare In Volume 406 of the Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences he said If someone comes up with a brilliant idea one morning and wants to go ahead and investigate it he should be made to process it through a review committee As with review processes for human experimentation the researcher is forced to reflect on that idea for three or four weeks while he gets it through the committee I dont think there are any instances whereby that three or fourweek reflection or delay has done any harm to the progress of biomedical science
At the heart of animal research at MCG is Dr Malcolm Kling director of Laboratory Animal Resources and Biological Safety a job hes held for the last 17 years Kling is one of three fulltime veterinarians at MCG and oversees an animal care staff of 14 people He is one of the permanent members of CAURE
Several cartoons hang on a bulletin board outside his office one featuring the Wizard of Id In the comic the Wizard approaches a man selling birds
I want two pigeons he says
The bird vendor queries Youre not going to experiment on them are you
The Wizard replies Rumors of my cruelty have been greatly exaggerated Theyre for supper
Despite this display of humor Kling is dead serious about his role and the animal research issue Each biomedical institution has a responsibility to the community and to ourselves to say we are looking at ourselves We must have an animal research committee and if we must have it lets do it right he said
Klings responsibility is to ensure that all animals are maintained properly cared for and properly used Daily he or his staff checks on all animals in the vivarium He will not tolerate suffering If necessary he said he would remove an investigators research colony if the animals are being mistreated Not only is he legally bound he feels he has a
moral obligation as well Fortunately this situation has not yet arisen It does bring up the question of how MCG would deal with offenders of CAURE policies
If offenders are identified Greenbaum said as vicepresident for research he would suspend the research rights of the faculty member until the situation clears up But ensuring that CAURE mandates are adhered to is not an easy task he admits Its very difficult impossible with thousands of animals being used to monitor each experiment The faculty has to take that responsibility to observe appropriate ethics to educate technicians and students about the appropriateness of conduct in dealing with animals
Compassion of course is not a prerequisite for research however some maintain that it helps keep things in perspective
Everyone in research should have a pet Kling said If I can go home and sit and have a talk with my dog things are going OK Other scientists echo his sentiments
I have a dog Goldstein said I dont enjoy killing animals I do it because I have to Lets face it its a very emotional issue Were doing it for knowledge not in vain Were probably more humane and think about it a lot more than most people do when they step on a bug Were very attuned to the pressure outside but also to our own feelings
A lot of people picture us as mad scientists said Porterfield We are very conscious of sacrifice in the course of our experiments Not only is sacrifice an issue but great lengths are taken to minimize suffering she said The pain in most animal experimentation is limited to that associated with an injection In most experiments done at MCG the entire experiment is conducted while the animal is under the anesthesia and the animal is sacrificed without ever regaining consciousness In addition she added A lot of things that are considered unethical in animal experimentation are considered ethical in humans

The System Summary
animal rights activists who imply that animals suffer in research They should look first in their own backyards he said Euthanasia is a very important part of the experimental process Research animals are sacrificed in a most humane way Thats not the case in pounds where most animals are sacrificed in a great deal of pain Scientists in fact have played pivotal roles in developing legislation to protect animals Greenbaum was one of several researchers nationally who participated in writing the 1966 Animal Welfare Act Researchers felt as strongly as antivivisectionists that it was very important to care for animals in a laboratory setting he said
If we knew all the information about functions of the body to put into a computer it would be great If we knew that much we wouldnt need to do the research
Dr Susan Porterfield
Vivisection opponents have suggested using alternate models for experimentation such as computers or amoebas If we knew all the information about functions of the body to put into a computer it would be great said Porterfield We dont have all the variables If we knew that much we wouldnt need to do the research The suggestion of using amoebas and bacteria is unacceptable to most scientists because these forms of life dont have the physiological properties of the human body Greenbaum applauds attempts to explore the use of alternative experimental models but adds The use of animals must continue if we are to progress in the attack on diseases MCG has been fortunate in avoiding the wrath of radical animal rights groups This may be due in part to community attitudes toward the necessity of animal research but even as close as Atlanta there have been demonstrations One issue which could
very well threaten MCG is the use of pound animals There has been a push nationwide for legislation which would limit researchers to purchasing dogs and cats from animal breeders The main objection by the research community is that this would escalate the cost of experimentation In addition Kling said if scientists are required to obtain their animals from breeders this will result in an increase in the total number of dogs killed at the pound which can die painfully and those bred and used specifically for research
MCG does use pound animals from Richmond County but only after a lengthy quarantine process The animals MCG purchases are those next in line to be sacrificed Then they are kept an additional two weeks Most of these animals have been abandoned said Kling
Kling does receive calls from members of the community about missing pets When this happens he explains how our animals are obtained and then invites the caller to the vivarium to take a look Not once has a lost pet been identified
Klings open attitude has probably done much to dispel public fear Other measures have been taken to educate the public on a larger scale The public relations committee of the School of Medicine which meets regularly with members of the local media devoted one session to the necessity for animal research This effort later resulted in an article and editorial in the local newspaper indicating support for MCGs animal research programs In addition internal efforts are planned Greenbaum said seminars on ethical conduct in research will be scheduled for faculty
It might seem appropriate to teach ethical conduct in animal research to medical and graduate research students Dr Richard Martin associate professor of humanities at MCG said this topic is not discussed in MCGs humanities classes Leafing through biomedical ethics in literature he said he couldnt find antivivisection mentioned It simply isnt an issue Socalled animal rights isnt discussed Perhaps it should be
In Klings circles however the issue of animal rights is addressed more frequently than in the past There are a growing number of articles and books on the topic and it is discussed at conferences The real pressure is being brought from outside groups he said Its causing us to think and its never wrong to think
Ethical standards are part of the educational process Goldstein said even if they arent formally addressed Where do you get it from You get it from within you get it from your mentor you get it from good scientists you get it from the people around you you have to instill it in your graduate students Its something we have instilled
In Western civilization Martin said there is a presupposition of human supremacy when we start comparing human lives with nonhuman lives The alternative is rather distasteful Were talking about extending human suffering There would be a great deal of sacrifice in human life at present and in the future if we cut out animal research The power of research is greater than the power of animal rights
He is not suggesting that animals be neglected Animals we use in research deserve respect and protection from needless suffering he said
In todays world Martin believes the worries of animal rights activists are misdirected With the advent of technological advances such as the artificial heart and crossspecies transplantation more animal research is necessary before human lives are put at risk he said The real ethical issue in medicine today is When do we get to the point where we know enough about a procedure to progress to human beings

The System Summary
North Georgia College
Snowcovered campus at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains
Perhaps you are familiar with the concept of pushups I will now teach you how to do them correctly This cadet company officer only two or three years older than his new charges immediately fell prone and ripped off a dozen perfect repetitions Stars still twinkled in the predawn sky and the crisp September morning air of the Georgia mountains kept the cadet recruits from breaking a steady sweat as they dropped and executed the pushup command
For nearly 200 young men and women their first full day of life at North Georgia College had begun
The Class of 1989 or at least those members of it who are in the Corps of Cadets underwent a week of fulltime intensive military instruction and training before beginning classes But when those classes began the military aspects of life at NGC took second place to the emphasis on academics
North Georgia College is the nations only public coeducational liberal arts military college
To those unfamiliar with the Dahlonega college NGCs combination of a strong military program with a liberal arts curriculum may seem contradictory Indeed it is the nations only public coeducational liberal arts military college
The military program has been a part of North Georgia from its very earliest days The college was founded in 1873 on the site of the former US mint built in the gold rush period and soon after students at the college requested that the institution be organized on a military basis North Georgia has at various times been an agricultural and
mining school and a junior college but the military program has remained intact
The presentday program is conducted by the US Army as part of the Reserve Officers Training Corps ROTC Participation is mandatory for all resident males but commuting men and all women a majority of the students may participate at their option About 550 of NGCs 1700 undergraduate students are in the Corps of Cadets including 20 women Students may seek Army or Army Reserve commissions and every year the college commissions between 40 to 70 second lieutenants
The hallmarks of the colleges proud military history are many More than 2900 NGC commissioned officers served in World War II The renowned Hells Angels Navy fighter squadron of WW II was composed entirely

The System Summary
NGCs campus is dominated by the gilded steeple of Price Memorial Hall The building named for the colleges founder William Pierce Price is built on the foundation of the US mint established before the Civil War during north Georgias gold rush period The steeple was covered with Lumpkin County Gold in 1973 in celebration of NCGs centennial Photo by Marc Cutright
of NGC alumni Several times in recent years most recently in 1984 NGC cadets were rated number one in military fitness and leadership among the 111 ROTC schools in the eastern United States General William Livsey commander of US forces in Korea is an NGC alumnus and one of several North Georgia generals on active duty
In recognition of this tradition the state legislature has created the Georgia Military Scholarship available only to North Georgia College students In return for Army Reserve service while in school and afterwards for four years as officers academically qualified students are given full scholarships Twenty such awards are made in every entering class
Although the college and the Army work diligently to maintain NGCs reputation in military circles the faculty and administration are no less determined to maintain its status as a quality liberal arts institution Theres no inhibition of classroom discussion and there has never been any infringement on academic freedom says Dr Ray Rensi historian and chairman of the social science department Once you get used to seeing people in uniform theres really no difference between a class here and one elsewhere
The goal of a broad liberal education is one firmly supported by the military department Professor of military science Colonel Gerald Uord an NGC alumnus of the Class of 61 stresses academics to his staff and the cadets We have no major in military science he notes We see our role as one of support not dominance The Army expects our graduated officers to be wellrounded educated reasoning individuals That cannot be accomplished unless studies are given a priority
Among the colleges most popular and most widely respected majors are those science programs associated with the health professions The college boasts the highest acceptance rate to the Medical College of Georgia of any school in the University System and last year had 100 percent of all medical school applicants accepted Two years
ago NGC graduates placed first second and third among all entering students at MCG in a competition for the Desiree Franklin Memorial Scholarship worth 2500 annually NGC is currently conducting a financial development program to support the growth and improvement of healthprofessionsrelated instruction
Although only one of every three students at NGC is in the military program there is little doubt that the discipline and conservative social standards which mark the Corps of Cadets permeate campus life Our students have as much fun have as many social activities as students anywhere says Dr
John H Owen president of NGC since 1970 But I think that you will find here a greater seriousness of purpose less tolerance of a lack of preparation by students or their instructors than youll find at some schools Were not for everyone But we do serve our students well
The numbers would seem to bear him out The college enjoys one of the more favorable enrollment trends in the University System including a growing graduate degree program in education
Its little wonder that the college promotes enrollment with the phrase A great military collegeand more Marc Cutright

Skidaway Island
Pelicans in
On a South Georgia Island
GSUs Department of Geology examines the interaction of land and sea
The building is a converted cow barn hidden by mosscovered trees back from the main road Old silos once used for feeding the animals of the Modena Plantation shield the building from the sun
While the office that houses the Georgia State University Coastal and Marine Geology Center is modest from the outside whats inside is far from that A quick tour of the lab reveals offices a darkroom sonar and video equipment as well as the expected geology equipment
Few people in the University System know the depth of the research conducted at the center In fact most people dont even know the center exists
Were really a special unit both at GSU and in the University System of Georgia said Dr Vernon J Henry chairman of the GSU Department of Geology and this past summer resident research scientist at the center No other department in the System
has an identified marine geology program with a laboratory on the coast
The program is as new to GSU as Henry ishe was lured to GSU in 1982 as department chairman and professor of geology Since then Henry has supervised the establishment of GSUS marine geology program and the graduate program in geology started a year ago continues to grow
While spending the summer out in the sun on the Georgia coast sounds like an enviable assignment the staff of GSUs research center worksand works hard
I usually come in before 8 am and stay until well after 5 said Leslie Rueth the first GSU graduate student in geology to conduct research at Skidaway Were working on so much research
The research is applied research and basic research Henry added Its real handson fieldoriented research
The amount of research done in one
summer is astounding According to Henry some of this summers projects include
Consultation with the US Army Corps of Engineers on harbor development in Savannah Brunswick and Kings Bay
Work on the marine phosphate project supported by the Minerals Management Service of the United States Department of the Interior The project the potential occurrence and distribution of phosphatebearing strata is Rueths thesis topic The search for phosphates is conducted by bouncing sound waves off the ocean bottom to produce a highresolution profile of a slice of land hidden by the sea
The monitoring of Williamson Island by studying the dynamics of the shoreline and by using aerial photography to examine changes in the shoreline

The System Summary
Perhaps the most impressive research however involves Grays Reef National Marine Sanctuary located 19 miles east of Sapelo Island south of Savannah Grays Reef was designated a sanctuary by former President Jimmy Carter Much of the research conducted to map this rocky outcrop covered by soft coral has been done by Henry and Rueth
We used sidescan sonar and bottom towed underwater closedcircuit television to produce the map Henry said Were providing the National Oceanographic and Atmosphere Administration Marine Sanctuary Program with basic information that will be used to manage the area
Once the data are collected a map showing the location of the reefs will be produced A woodcut based on some of the initial research already hangs in the aquarium at Skidaway and a wall inside the centers office is covered with a map that is also a product of early research
The center like most of the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography was part of the Modena Plantation Skidaway provided the center for GSU coastal and marine geology students
And students are what Henry wants most
We have room here in the office for six more graduate students and maybe a few professors he said Theres classroom space here and at the institute
Henry said he would like to see both undergraduate courses offered next summer at the center for both credit and that allimportant handson training
Here you can see the results of waves and currents in sedimentary structures rather than just reading about it in a book Henry said The present is the key to the past We can compare what we see here today with collected passive rocks of the past and that leads to an understanding of the environment

Governors Interns Gain Professional Experience
AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE AIDE to State Superintendent of Schools Charles McDaniel Clay McKemie a student at the University of Georgia does research drafts correspondence and travels with McDaniel to schools all over the state Tacy Shelton a junior at Georgia College helps organize the Department of Human Resources vitally important Transportation Unit which provides transportation to children the elderly economically disadvantaged and physically or mentally handicapped persons An accounting major at Georgia State University Darius Walker tracks employees throughout the Department of Corrections on his computer part of an analysis of manpower he is preparing for Corrections Commissoner David Evans
These are only three examples of college students who are gaining invaluable job experience as participants in the Governors Intern Program this fall By working with the state for a 10week period students have an opportunity to learn more about a particular career that interests them while gaining academic credit through their internships
Initiated in 1971 by thenGovemor Jimmy Carter the Governors Intern Program is designed to provide college students professional experience before they enter the working world The program has been enhanced through financial and staff support by Carters successors former Governor George Busbee and Georgias current governor Joe Frank Harris
The intern program is a great learning experience for the students who participate said Harris but its also a learning experience for the staff they work with Our interns inject new blood into state government and that is healthy for the state of Georgia
According to Jane Manus a member of Harris staff and director of the Governors Intern Program the key to
the attractiveness and success of the venture is its variety Interns are utilized by a multitude of state agencies from the Department of Industry and Trade to the Department of Natural Resources and they have the chance to hone their skills in everything from programming computers to writing press releases College juniors seniors graduate students and law students are eligible
Intern Clay McKemie
We make a special effort to place the interns with agencies of related interests and in the internship for which they are best suited Manus says This is the best possible situation for both the interns and the agencies they are working with
Each quarter Manus and her assistant Jackie Smith conduct interviews on college campuses all across Georgia and in the governors office at the State Capitol We are interested in a personal relationship between the governors office and our interns Manus said and we also want to make sure we are recruiting the most capable students We want the cream of the crop for our program
After the preliminary interview prospective interns visit the agencies that could best utilize their talents and then they are asked to rank the agencies in order of preference Meanwhile the agencies rank the students who best fit their needs Besides placing interns in the most comfortable working environment this selection process is an excellent opportunity for college students to improve their interviewing skills Manus said
In addition to hands on job training experience working in state government and course credit interns receive a stipend for their work which has recently been increased Undergraduate students will be paid 750 for the upcoming winter quarter graduate students will earn 1000 and law students will receive 2000 Manus believes this improvement will make the intern program even more popular The increased stipend will make our program more competitive with internships in the private sector
Harris has established education as the number one priority of his administration demonstrated by the unanimous passage of the Quality Basic Education Act during the 1985 session of the Georgia General Assembly Harris commitment to improving public education extends to the Governors Intern Program His confidence in the program is evidenced by the appointments of several former interns to responsible positions on his personal staff
Harris sees the intern program as a mutually beneficial arrangement for college students the University System and state government As governor Harris has instilled a businesslike attitude and team concept in state government 1 like to think we are operating efficiently as a team and our interns are important members of our team he said They always seem to be willing to get the job done and they not only do it they do it with enthusiasm

Hotel Restaurant Travel Administration
GSUs HRTA program combines art business and science to fill the growing needs of the hospitality industry
Many of the programs students are making midlife career changes
A PROGRAM THAT OFFERS a 100 percent placement rate seems impossible in a college or university today but Georgia State Universitys Hotel Restaurant and Travel Administration program is one of the few that can boast about such a placement rate Seventy percent of our students work while
attending college and later move into management positions so we only have to worry about placing the other 30 percent said Patti Shock department chairman of GSUs HRTA program Anyone who does not get a job does not want a job
In the year 2000 the travel and tour
ist industry is expected to employ one of every five workers Currently tourism employs one of every 15 Americans according to national statistics As the industry grows graduates of GSUs Hotel Restaurant and Travel Administration Program are becoming an increasingly valuable commodity
At the request of the hotel industry during the construction of Atlantas Hilton Omni and Peachtree Plaza the HRTA associate of science degree was started in 1973 In 1981 a fouryear degree was established in addition to the twoyear degree
There are 113 fouryear hotel schools in the United States GSU has the only fouryear hotel degree in the University System of Georgia and Shock believes that her program ranks in the 11th or 12th position nationwide at present She plans for it to reach the top five
People do not realize that tourism is the number two industry in the state behind agriculture Shock said At a recent restaurant show the president of the National Restaurant Association said that food service alone was a 40

There is more to cooking than most people think Cooking is chemistry
Patti Shock
billion industry in 1970 now in 1985 it is a 178 billion industry Shock added
Job availability may help explain the growing popularity of the program which now has approximately 300 students The average age is 28 and 62 percent of the students are female Minorities make up 19 percent of the program and 7 to 8 percent of the students are foreign Tourism is the largest employer of women minorities handicapped and unskilled workers Shock said
Many of the students according to Shock are making midlife career changes or are entering college for the first time late in life
A 75000 hotel computer system was recently donated to the HRTA department by Digital Equipment Company The hardware is a stateofthe
art system that includes two terminals one printer and two restaurant pointofsale units The software came from the Omni Group and is the same system that would go into a mediumsized hotel It will include everything taking inventory keeping a catering diary and knowing who is booked in what room Everything Shock explained The computer will give the student handson access to an actual hotel setup Other donations from companies and organizations help to expand and improve HRTA programs
The Atlanta Culinary Federation has made a commitment to donate funds and equipment for a 64seat auditoriumstyle demonstration kitchen which is now in the planning stages Plans are to include videotaping capabilities as well as the latest in kitchen equipment The demo kitchen will be used
in the HRTA academic program as well as in the Apprentice Chefs program and other seminartype activities Completion is expected for January 1987
There is more to cooking than most people think Cooking is chemistry Shock explained In fact HRTA has five courses on food that teach everything from designing menus to serving and catering a gourmet meal Menu planning purchasing receiving storing production scheduling and decorating are all major components for food service industries as well as for students
The HRTA program combines theory and practice according to Shock I call majoring in business a generic degree because from that there are a lot of different directions you may go in Since we in HRTA know what industry we are focusing on we can get real specific about the things that make the industry different
In addition to classroom learning the program provides practical experience through internships and class projects
Class projects include conducting feasibility studies aiding distressed restaurants and catering dinners for 75100 guests The students get involved in reallife projects for industries Such projects have included feasibility studies for a motel in Helen and a convention center in DeKalb County One project involved surveying four potential sites in order to choose the best location for a new hotel A major accounting firm was at the same time surveying the same locations The students picked the same site for the same reasons Shock said proudly
Classes also include field trips and lectures from top industry executives about subjects that are so new or so relevant that they might not be in the textbooks yet according to Shock
HRTA interns work in fields appropriate to their areas of concentration This past summer six students had the opportunity to work in and open the Marriott Marquis which was very exciting for those students Shock explained Local hotels restaurants and other hospitality organizations such as Hilton Peachtree Plaza and Dobbs

The System Summary

House employ the interns who must work a total of 400 paid hours to graduate
Although it is possible to get a job in this industry without an HRTA degree that job would likely be in middle management and would offer little opportunity for advancement according to Shock Many of our students come from the industry They have been working there maybe 10 to 15 years and are in the basic level of management and know that they are not getting any higher These students bring a wealth of experience to the classroom and keep us on our toes We have to stay on our toes we can not get stagnant in a city like Atlanta she said
Having the degree makes it easier to move up quickly and gives the graduate an understanding of the management of people and a broad knowledge of cost control Both the associate and fouryear degree are endorsed by the Georgia Hospitality and Travel Association the National Association of Catering Executives and the National Association of Exposition Managers
GSUs aviation administration department was recently incorporated into the HRTA program This merger makes us the only academic unit in the country to combine all of the elements of tourism into one component Shock said The program offers courses in such areas as aviation law safety and insurance Courses in ticketing and reservations functions of travel agencies are also available
A degree that prepares graduates for the growing hospitality industry is unique said Shock because the field is an art a business and a science

National Ad Council To Launch Campaign for Cooperative Ed
YOU EARN A FUTURE WHEN YOU EARN A DEGREE This is the Cooperative Education programs new sales pitch which is expected to reach 415 million Americans starting this fall
The process of education which formally integrates the students academic study with work experience in cooperating employer organizations is the definition of cooperative education accepted by the Georgia College Placement Association Students in cooperative education programs alternate periods of study with periods of experience in appropriate fields of business industry government social service and the professions
The National Advertising Council has accepted cooperative education as the focus of a national advertising campaign Smokey the Bear and McGruff the Crime Dog are among the many ad campaigns that the Advertising Council have produced
Located in New York City the Ad Council is a private nonprofit organization which conducts public service ad campaigns In addition to those for Forest Fire Prevention Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires and Crime Prevention Take a Bite Out of Crime the council has created hundreds of successful campaigns including the Peace Corps The Toughest Job Youll Ever Love and the United Negro College Fund A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Waste
Increasing public awareness of cooperative education and its benefits is the goal of the National Commission for Cooperative Education which is the organization sponsoring the campaign Predictions for 1990 foresee at least double the current coop enrollments across the country We expect the campaign to make an impact on the over 900 colleges and universities which presently offer coop programs as well as those which might consider coop in the future Ralph Porter
president of the National Commission for Cooperative Education said
A variety of media will be used to get the message to a target market of students ages 16 to 24 and also to prospective employers These media include television radio newspaper magazines cards and billboards
Coop programs offer many benefits to participating students employers and colleges Students gain valuable experience and establish a reputation with a potentially permanent employer according to Regina Doyle director of cooperative education at Southern Technical Institute
The employer benefits not only during the cooperative work periods but also afterwards in recruiting selecting and hiring A significant percentage of students stay with the employer after graduation lessening the cost of recruiting and training Once a cooperative student is permanently hired he or she often advances more rapidly than other new employees and proves to be a higher quality employee
Colleges also receive benefits from participating in a coop program through increased graduate placement financial aid and funding for the institutions Generally 70 percent of the students are offered permanent jobs by their coop employer and 60 percent actually stay with their coop employer Doyle said The coop provides financial benefits for the students who are paid for their work The development of closer ties with industry also means greater potential for more funding for the institutions she added
Cooperative education offers an expanded dimension of the total education received by students at colleges and universities Doyle continued Applied learning gained through the professional work experience integrated with classroom study supplements and reinforces the academic content of the curriculum

MURPHY SPEAKS OUT
Continued from Front Cover
what was good for the state you had at that time 205 house members and their ideas all got full consideration That is when the state really started making progress Back in the days when the governor ran everything it would take 30 minutes to get the appropriation bill out of committee and 30 minutes to pass it on the floor of the House and we never made any changes in itjust what the governor wantedthat was all you did Now it is very different as you know Everybody has input into it and all the good ideas are put in and the bad ones are taken out
Q How have you seen the University System change over that same period
A I have seen it grow tremendously The state budget has grown tremendously When I came to the Legislature in 1961 the state budget was 335 million That was all it was Now it is 48 billion I have seen it grow 1 have seen it become much more sophisticated I have seen the University System become much more dedicatedI guess that is the proper wordto seeing that our young people get a sound good education I give a great deal of the credit of the development of the University System to former chancellor George Simpson I think he is one of the finest things that ever happened to higher education in Georgia He is a fellow that put the machinery in motion
Q You have shown an interest in deaf education Is there a special reason for that and what would you like to see done in this area
A I became interested in the youngsters at the Georgia School for the Deaf at Cave Springs back when my children were playing in high school and would play the Georgia School for the Deaf I just became a great admirer of those youngsters who are handicapped They need all the extra assistance they can get You cant give them too much as far as I am concerned because they really try They really give it all they have got
Q Do you have certain goals already established for the 1986 session
A 1 would like to see our surplus spent on capital outlay to a great extent Hopefully we can set in motion machinery to fund the Quality Basic Education bill I am dedicated to getting our teachers up to the top of the salary level of the southeastern states I am dedicated to that
Q Do you think that the House is going to take a closer look at higher education in the same way that they have looked at primary and secondary schools
A I dont think we will take a look this year I think we are sooner or later going to set in motion some sort of
Tom Murphy
machinery to have experts look at it and tell us if we are doing everything right or what we are doing wrong and what we need to change
Q Do you think the University System can do a better job of working with you and the General Assembly
A I really dont think the Regents should become that involved in it 1 have always felt that that was the chancellors jobto be the liaison man with the General Assembly And that is what George Simpson truly excelled in Back in the old days when former governor George Busbee was the majority leader and I was speaker pro tern and Sloppy Floyd was chairman of the appropriations committee we would meet with George Simpson and he would tell us some things that the University System just had to have and he would tell us what he could and couldnt do And when he told us something we took his word for it and went that way We havent had that kind of arrangement since Chancellor Simpson left Hopefully we will get it back with the new chancellor
Q What are some of the things that you particularly would like to see the University System do for Georgia
A As far as I am concerned the University System does a great job I have really no problems with it
Q Do you think we are doing an adequate job of helping attract businesses through our research efforts
12
The System Summary
A Well I think you are doing a good job with the money you have to do it with 1 think the General Assembly needs to put up more money for research and to buy the stuff to do the research with I really believe that we will need to get into that pretty heavy
Q Personally do you have a real strong affiliation for the University System or is that an unfair question Mr Speaker A No it isnt an unfair question I think we have a great University System Our Board of Regents does a good job I think they have made some tragic mistakes over the years but then all of us have made mistakes If you dont do anything you dont make mistakes When you try to do something you make mistakes I think we have probably the model University System for the rest of the nation We have been copied very much for that and 1 think all of us are very proud of that The worst problem 1 have had with the University System was years ago when 1 first got interested in the budget 1 discovered a very high majority of the students at Georgia Tech were from out of state and I raised some kind of Cain about that I just couldnt see us putting the kind of money over there that we were while we had competent qualified students in Georgia that couldnt get in Tech while Tech was taking outofstate students I understand that has been reversed now and the majority of them are Georgia students but me and Busbee and Sloppy raised Cain about that when we found that out Basically I think our University System is one of the finest units of our state government
7 would just like to be remembered as a fellow who tried his best to do his job
Q Do you think Georgia needs a second engineer school A I think we need some additional engineering programs in the southern part of the state I dont say we need another Georgia Tech and if Mercer can build an engineering school and do a good job then I think that will eliminate any need for us having another I do think we need the availability of engineering programs in the southern part of the state
Q When you retire from politics how would you like to be remembered
A Well I guess I would just like to be remembered as a fellow who tried his best to do his job They asked me that on public television and I said just a pretty good fellow Thats about the only way I would like to be remembered I
think I have had a part in helping build the University System to where it is because when we were the old Green Door Committee we put a lot of money into the University System that needed to be put there People have always been amazed because I refusedeven though West Georgia is in my areaI refused to just say we are going to do this for West Georgia 1 always felt that would be defeating the purpose of our University System if we started doing that The only thing I will fess up to is that I have seen a few extra things go to North Georgia College I have done that
I have never really felt like I made many enemies with politics I have got enough sense to know that if I start abusing my power I wont have it long
Q Why did you go into politics
A I have been in politics all my life When I was a young boy delivering a paper route I used to have political candidates signs on my bicycle My Daddy was mayor of the town and chairman of the board of education and served on the council 1 have been involved in politics all my life I just like to meet people talk to people It is a good way to make new friends
Q Or enemies
A You know I never reallyto my knowledgenever really made many enemies with my politics because everybody knows that I just say what I think If you want to know how I feel about something I tell you 1 give you the right to your opinion and I am not going to get mad at you if you differ with me I just hope you give me the right to my opinion because I have got one And if you ask me what it is I will tell you I have never really felt like I made many enemies with politics You see the news media will never understand There is a lot of power in this jobthere is no question about this But the power is just as much as the majority of the members of the House will allow you and the very minute you abuse it they will take it away from you I have got enough sense to understand that I have got sense enough to know that if 1 start abusing my power I wont have it long So I dont abuse it But the Atlanta newspapers or the news media as a whole will never understand All these things they write about me how powerful I am all that sort of stuffthey created that myth and they make it larger than it really is They really do give me more influence than 1 haveH

Briefly
The US Department of Labor has awarded the Institute of Industrial Relations at Georgia State University a 95000 grant to conduct the first comprehensive national study of managementlabor relations in almost 40 years
GSU was selected over universities and private practitioners across the nation for the project titled Case Studies in Contemporary Collective Bargaining and Labor Management Relations
The last nationallycommissioned study began in 1949 and included such luminaries as George Shultz Clark Kerr and Douglas T McGregor as researchers Thirteen companies including Atlantabased Atlantic Steel were profiled
The GSUbased study will take some 14 months and will produce six indepth case studies of national significance according to the institutes Dr Michael Jay Jedel director of the study
This is the first major study of its kind in over 30 years Jedel said Current Secretary of Labor William Brock has commissioned this study to see how the nation has adapted in changes in the workforce The study will look at the new patterns of successful collective bargaining relationships
Jedel will direct the study and will serve as a coinvestigator with Dr Donald P Crane professor of management and industrial relations at GSU Both are nationallyknown labor arbitrators Professors from three colleges at GSU have been named to the study advisory panel
Kennesaw Colleges Department of Chemistry and Physics has recently received three separate grant awards totaling approximately 90000 One award will be used to purchase stateoftheart equipment for use in classroom instruction and student research while the other two grants will fund research projects for individual faculty members
A 25000 instrumentation grant plus matching funds was proposed by Dr Linda Hodges assistant professor of chemistry for equipment to upgrade Kennesaws popular directed study program which gives undergraduate students the opportunity to pursue their own laboratory research projects with faculty members acting as advisors on a onetoone basis The new equipment will be used for separation and analysis in natural product chemistry
Assistant professor of chemistry Dr Patricia Reggio who has been involved in theoretical research on drug systems in association with Mt Sinai Medical School in New York City for six years has been awarded a 44000 grant by the National Institute on Drug Abuse to do computer modeling of the molecular basis for the activity of marijuana
Dr Vera Zalkow associate professor of chemistry has received a National Science Foundation research opportunity award of approximately 20000 to study at the University of Georgia where she will research this fall returning to teaching at Kennesaw in the winter quarter
Valdosta State Colleges planetarium is conducting a series of shows now through May 15 featuring Celestial Encounters The series will include shows on the star of Bethlehem Venus Uranus the large space telescope and the return of Comet Halley Following each program VSC astronomy majors will assist participants in viewing comets planets stars and the moon
Two researchers in the University of Georgias Advanced Computational Methods Center have received two grants totaling 335356 to develop new computer programs that use logic and understand human languages
Dr Donald Nute professor of philosophy and a faculty associate at the center received 96175 from the National Science Foundation to develop new techniques that will allow computers to use logic to solve complex problems
Nute and Dr Michael Covington a research associate at the center received 239181 also from the NSF to develop new computer programs that will do a better job of understanding human languages
The techniques for using logic will become part of the new expert systems technology With these systems computers have a knowledge base that allows them to perform reasoning tasks Unlike other systems expert systems can reason from incomplete information by selecting the best conclusion from available information then revising conclusions as more information becomes available The systems thus perform more like human experts who often must make decisions without complete information
Possible uses of the expert systems include helping diagnose medical problems locating new oil and mineral deposits determining the structure of complex molecules and designing new drugs

Charles McDaniel
There are still worlds To be conquered
Q What should be the role of higher education in relation to primary and secondary education
McDaniel Higher education is the capstone of our educational system here in this state and in other states We feel the responsibility to give a broad general basic education to boys and girls in the elementary and secondary levels Higher education gives young people the opportunity to specialize in a field and provides a real opportunity for our citizens to become more effective
Q Recently you have enjoyed a good relationship with the Board of Regents and the chancellor of the University System Has this always been the case while you have been superintendent
McDaniel I have always had a good relationship with the Board of Regents and it has been warmer in the last five or six years I think former Chancellor Vernon Crawford came into his position with one of his primary goals being to build a good relationship not only with the state school superintendent but also with the common schools He seemed to feel that it was necessary to have that close connection in order for higher education to do its job He was successful at this He had the opportunity to know many of the state education board members and many of the members of our staff here That tradition continues with the new chancellor Dean Propst 1 think it is important that the public schools and the University System work handinhand I think we have the best working relationship we have ever had and I

Georgia Tech Celebrates Its First Century
The Georgia Institute of Technology has been celebrating a milestone in its history for more than a year its 100th birthday
Georgia Tech chartered by the General Assembly of Georgia in 1885 officially celebrated its birthday on Oct 13 1985 with a major convocation celebrating the pioneering spirit
The institutes centennial celebration actually began on Oct 15 1984 with the first talk in the Centennial National Lecture Series given by US Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day OConnor
In November 1984 the institute continued its centennial festivities with the opening of the China 7000 Years of Discovery exhibit in Atlantas High Museum of Art
A major part of Techs centennial celebration was the announcement of its 100 million centennial campaign goal the largest private gifts campaign in the institutes 100year history The campaign which officially began in July 1983 will be continued through June of 1988
Funds raised through the campaign will go towards the support of current operations on campus faculty develop
ment student assistance construction of new buildings and facilities athletic improvements and increasing the institutes overall endowment
Tech has also begun the tradition of honoring its own with the startup of the Alumni Exceptional Achievement Awards first given at the Centennial Reunion Dinner March 1 1985
During the year the new headquarters facility of the Georgia Tech Re
search Institutethe Centennial Research Buildingwas formally dedicated
As Techs birthday drew closer plans developed for celebrations on campus
The Tech campus put on the Ritz for a weekendlong party Oct 11 through 13 1985 Festivities began Friday as the institute hosted a campuswide open house Showcase 100 Discover Tomorrow Today The open house featured tours of facilities research project demonstrations entertainment and a big birthday cake cutting throughout the day
Saturday Oct 12 1985 which was also Techs homecoming featured the annual Ramblin Reck Parade with a centennial flair the homecoming football game and a special halftime musical extravaganza honoring Tech through the decades in music and dance
The institute celebrated its birthday in high style Sunday Oct 13 1985 with convocation ceremonies held in Atlantas Fox Theatre Famed ocean pioneer Captain Jacques Cousteau was the featured speaker
Georgia Tech is now 100 years old As it faces the future its sights are set on becoming a premier institution in its field in the years to come Georgia Tech is each day striving towards its goal1 Designing T omorrow T oday Pam Roundtree

Board Passes Resolution
A RESOLUTION concerning investments in companies which do business in South Africa was approved by the Board of Regents in November
The resolution reads as follows
The irrevocable principles of freedom of inquiry and the inalienable rights of the individual are imbedded in the American tradition of higher education Attempts to abridge that freedom or to deny those rights are abhorrent to free men and women everywhere A government which violates the rights of the individual through systematic policies which discriminate on the basis of race stands in direct contravention of the values on which American higher education was founded Our own history as a people makes it clear that the denial of the rights of one is inevitably a threat to the rights of everyone
On September 8 1985 the President of the United States signed an Executive Order expressing and implementing the foreign policy of the United States with respect to apartheid in the nation of South Africa in which it was stated the policy and practice of apartheid are repugnant to the moral and political values of democratic and free societies and run counter to the United States policies to promote democratic governments throughout the world and respect for human rights
The Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia is fundamentally opposed to the racially discriminatory policies of the government of South Africa and the system of apartheid We concur in our nations policy to promote the elimination of the practice of apartheid through diplomatic means
In our view American companies doing business in South Africa should be encouraged by us to implement fair labor practices which will assure others that their presence in South Africa is not to be construed as an endorsement or approval of the system of apartheid One method of ensuring that our universities and colleges do not acquiesce in or contribute to the apartheid system is to request that American companies in which we have equity or debt investments comply with the Sullivan Principles These Principles call for
1 Nonsegregation of the races in all eating comfort and work facilities
2 Equal and fair employment practices for all employees
on S Africa Investments
3 Equal pay for all employees doing equal or comparable work for the same period of time
4 Initiation of and development of training programs that will prepare in substantial numbers Blacks and other nonwhites for supervisory administrative clerical and technical jobs
5 Increasing the number of Blacks and other nonwhites in management and supervisory positions
6 Improving the quality of employees lives outside the work environment in such areas as housing transportation schooling recreation and health facilities
We acknowledge that as fiduciaries of the public trust we are held to the highest standards of prudence and care both legally and ethically in the management of funds which have been entrusted to us for the support and maintenance of our system of higher education We believe however that the imposition of lawful and reasonable investment sanctions on companies doing business in South Africa is in keeping with our fiduciary responsibility
Therefore we have directed that as of this date no new investments of University System of Georgia trust funds be made in the securities of companies or institutions which have not subscribed to the Sullivan Principles
A recent analysis by the Finance Committee of the Board of Regents has revealed that thirty companies in which University System trust funds are invested conduct some business activity in South Africa Of this number it appears that only three constituting less than onehalf of one percent of our total investments have not endorsed the Sullivan Principles We have asked the Vice Chancellor for Fiscal Affairs of the Board to contact these companies and urge them to signify their approval of these Principles If confirmation of compliance with this request is not received within a reasonable time we have asked the Finance Committee of the Board to consider prudent divestment of our holdings in these companies and to submit its recommendations to the full Board for approval
Finally we respectfully urge that each nonprofit foundation or charitable corporation established by private citizens in support of University System institutions consider the advisability of a timely review of their investment portfolios to determine whether American firms in South Africa in which they hold equity or debt investments have implemented the Sullivan Principles or have otherwise voluntarily adhered to fair labor practices

McDaniel
Continued from Front Cover
believe that we can do specific things together such as the precollege curriculum Because there is a good relationship among the members of the Board of Regents the state Board of Education the chancellor and the state superintendent our colleges and universities are better able to work with local schools to prepare students to do college work
Q It takes 18 years to grow a college freshman With that in mind what kind of immediate impact will the Quality Basic Education Act have on the University System McDaniel I am not sure it is going to have an immediate effect certainly not in the next few years because education is a very slow process With the implementation of kindergarten we have seen a reduction in the failing rate in the first grade and primary school We have seen youngsters become better prepared and 1 believe that this will carry through the whole school experience I believe that we will see a better student being graduated from high school to go into the University System
Q Do you think it is the responsibility of those in your field to urge students to take a look at a college education McDaniel Yes I think that some of our students when they look at the opportunities will decide to go to work or to go into the military Some may decide the best thing for them is a vocationaltechnical school or they may decide they want to go to the University System I think young people need to give serious consideration to college and 1 believe that our system of school counselors and all of the activities in which they engage provide the opportunity to look at a number of options I think we ought to make many opportunities available
Q Weve just seen a rise in the Scholastic Aptitude Test SAT scores for Georgia students Why the rise in scores McDaniel 1 think our personnel in public schoolsthe teachers basicallyhave made a real effort to emphasize good study habits and the importance of being prepared to take the SAT They have stressed to students that they be sure they have enough mathematics and that they have mastered the skills 1 also believe that nationwide we are beginning to take education much more seriously than we have previously We still have a long way to go The national average SAT increase was nine points We had an increase of 15 points in Georgia but we still have so far to go We are still behind the national average and we need to work on it One of the reasons that our average score is lower on the SAT is that about half our students take the SAT and about half of those who take the SAT are not prepared to take it But if for instance the Regents decided to require the SAT only for fouryear college admission we would
find that a number of students would not take the SAT With a smaller number of students taking the SAT we probably would have a much higher SAT score Alabama for instance has only five or six percent of its students taking the SAT and nationally they ranked higher than Georgia But that is really no excuse We want people to take the SAT and if they get a chance to get into collegefine
Q You have spent about 40 years in state government and education What kind of changes have you seen take place McDaniel We got started rather late in Georgia in the educational process but a lot has changed For instance in 1900 we had only 100 high school graduates and fewer than 10 high schools When 1 started out in the late 1940s we had a relatively small percentage of our population in high school During those days youngsters often had to start jobs early If they had difficulty with mathematics or Latin or whatever they went to work and dropped out of school Now more and more folks stay in school We have a wider variety of students in school but 1 really think schools have greatly improved 1 have seen my own children grow up and be much better prepared at the end of their high school careers than I was Even though we have had a lot of changes there are many things to do yet
Q Some people say we are moving back to more of the 1950s style curriculum Do you think that is true McDaniel We probably are moving back to a stronger emphasis on the fundamental subjects and that is good 1 really think that we need to zeroin on language arts mathematics science and history Particularly the language arts so that students are able to read relatively well and write relatively well and not worry too much about the specific details of a lot of different subjects
Q Do you have a goal in mind that you want to see accomplished five years from now
McDaniel I want to see that the provisions of the new education law QBE are carried through I think we have the opportunity now for some funding that will put us nearer a satisfactory position than we have ever been I think we have the publics attention Education is a priority and we need to take the provisions of the new act and apply them We need to get those incorporated into our public school program because out of it will come a better student a better program and a better Georgia
Q Do you sometimes think that you have bitten off more than you can chew
McDaniel On occasion But we have broken down the QBE bill into 114 different tasks and we have assigned each of those tasks to staff The board chairman has assigned each of them to a board committee We have them all on a calendar and everything is moving on schedule As a mat

The System Summary
ter of fact we are now a little bit ahead of schedule We feel good about that I think everyone who tries to change things who tries to improve the lot of another human being probably has taken a pretty big bite Teachers have a vital role We say we want Georgians to be better because of their experience in school and better because they have met us and thats a pretty big bite Youngsters sit and look at you patterning their lives after you What you tell them the way you inspire them to think can make them different people from what they would have been had they not met you That is a pretty awesome task
Q Have you accomplished everything you wanted to accomplish
McDaniel No there are still worlds to be conquered When you look at almost any measure we have not had a full commitment to public education in Georgia for too many years Consequently many other states have moved ahead of us Whether it is measured by the SAT or any other measure I think we are in an area of the country that is going to grow and blossom in the next few years 1 want us to be sure that our citizens have the opportunity to take advantage of the great things that are going to come along There are so many things to do reducing the dropout rate being sure that students are better prepared that they can write reasonably well We are beginning this year a writing program as a part of our basic skills test and just scoring 80000 themes from 10th graders will be a pretty good task But it will help youngsters learn to write if they are required to write well to be graduated from high school
Q Can you keep quality up for primary students with the declining enrollment which is affecting your end as well as ours and at the same time anticipate that in 10 to 15 years you are going to have another baby boom coming through McDaniel The low birth rate is going through our schools now and in a few years we are going to have a much larger group of students Some schools systems are growing others are declining Take DeKalb for instance It is growing in one section and declining in others School folks have to learn to live with that and make the adjustment and I really believe that you can control quality better with maybe a slightly declining population than you can with one that is growing rapidly
Q How would you like to be remembered
McDaniel I think I would like to be remembered as one who tried to make a contribution I have given many years to education I have enjoyed every minute of it I get excited every morning coming to work about things we are going to be able to do today Youngsters are performing so much better than they were just five years 10 years 20 years ago
1 doubt that there will ever be a monument to me anywhere except in the lives of folks 1 think that I have had the opportunity to make some change

Determining where such damage has occurred qply has been a problem in diagnosing multiple sclerosis was according to Feldman The problem has been tomi reduced however by the use of magnetjc resonance imaging asd
The nervous system is located in the head and lvlC
spine a very complicated space he said AloTpe
the head is a very small space when compared to one the bulk of the body have
Because of the complexity of the head and nec diagnostic procedures prior to MRI made reaching wan a diagnosis difficult particularly in the early stages sis t of the disease Feldman said neurological symg toms of multiple sclerosis arent necessarily found whe
Top view of head
or radioisotopes Instead a magnetic field30000 times the strength of the Earthsand radio waves are used to scan the body The system is capable of acquiring images so detailed they approach the fineline anatomical drawings found in medical textbooks
One of the most important advantages of magnetic resonance imaging is its capacity to display softtissue contrast which routinely enables discrimination between gray and white matter in the brain according to Dr Taher El Gammal neuroradiologist In addition because magnetic resonance imaging does not see bone it can image parts of the body previously hidden from view
Magnetic resonance imaging is considered the gold standard in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis according to Dr Daniel Feldman director of MCGs Multiple Sclerosis Clinic
Multiple sclerosis is a disease of young people occurring primarily in women in their 20s It is a breakdown of the insulation of the nerve fibers of the central nervous systemthe brain and spinal cord The insulation myelin disappears in patches affecting many different functions with the symptoms and resulting problems depending upon where the damage to the nerve occurred
Magnetic resonance imaging imrd the newest way of looking into the human body without surgeryis in operation at the Medical College of Georgia Hospital and Clinics in Augusta
Eight to 12 patients are being seen each day in the diagnostic imaging unit which went into operation in early September The present patient load is several months ahead of initial estimates according to Dr W H Pool chief ot the Department of Radiology at the Medical College
We are excited about the progress being made Pool said The quality of the images we are obtaining is exceeding our expectations and were looking forward to expanding our facility and services after the first of the year
Patients primarily being seen as outpatients are being referred to the unit from South Carolina and Georgia Experience of other medical centers has been that approximately 80 percent of the scans are done on outpatients who have potentially complicated problems that need more evaluation
The MCG unit has the strongest magnet in Georgia and is the first MRI unit in the state outside Atlanta

orjly in MS With previous diagnostic tools it often was necessary to wait until more generalized symptoms or more damage occurred
MRI has replaced the arteriogram and CT scan as diagnostic techniques for multiple sclerosis at IvlCG and has increased accuracy in diagnosing the sease Feldman said It has already shown that one patient being treated for MS may not in fact have the disease
An accurate diagnosis is important because we want to be sure were dealing with multiple sclerosis before we start treatment Feldman said
M MCG physicians are still looking into more areas where MR1 scans can be effective
Side view of head
While MRI has been proven effective in problems of the head and spine it also holds promise for diseases of the blood vessel system heart many types of cancer and more
In addition to its proven utility magnetic resonance imaging will be useful in research programs conducted at the Medical College of Georgia and other leading health science universities High strength magnetic resonance imaging units can detect subtle changes in the way the body uses molecules containing phosphorus sodium fluorine hydrogen and carbon atoms It is this capability that has researchers optimistic that MRI has the potential to improve the understanding of disease and guide treatment
Scientists believe that because changes in body chemistry may precede the onset of symptoms the ability
Simulating the positioning of a patient for the magnetic resonance imager
to recognize such changes can enable tumors to be pinpointed in their earliest stages when they can be treated most easily MRI also could be used for example to determine if body tissue which has had its blood supply cut off is alive
The 19 million magnetic resonance imager is housed in a special trailer on the MCG campus until renovations on the first floor of the MCG Hospital make a permanent inhospital unit possible Renovations are under way and are expected to take one year to 18 months to complete
MCG has negotiated with General Electric to purchase the existing unit and lease the trailer Once the new unit is installed General Electric will resume ownership of the trailerbased unit and MCG will assume ownership of the new one
This way we will not have down time Dr Jerry Allison medical physicist and assistant professor of radiology said He also said it will mean that in a year to 18 months MCG will get a new nodoubt improved unit considering the advancing technology in this area of imaging Sally Simkins

The System Summary
Briefly
The Board authorized the president of Gordon Junior College Jerry M Williamson to name the library in honor of Dorothy W Hightower effective immediately
Dorothy W Hightower Nov 3 1919 July 5 1985 and her husband were the driving force behind the success of the Gordon Foundation in raising over a million dollars to endow scholarships for outstanding students from the midGeorgia area Hightower also promoted the arts and other cultural activities of the college and community
Southern Technical Institute received authorization from the Board of Regents in November to reorganize the instructional wing of its academic affairs division effective fall quarter 1986 The establishment of the School of Management and Information the School of Engineering Technology and the School of Arts and Sciences should result in more appropriate grouping for the various offerings of the college The establishment of the three separate schools calls for certain changes in departments within the schools which will result in more appropriate management of academic programs
An additional consideration of the reorganization plan is the changing of degree designations from specific to general resulting in degrees being granted as bachelor or master of science with a major in a particular area This change in degree designations will also be effective fall quarter 1986
At the request of Georgia State University the name of the Georgia World Congress Institute was changed to the International Business Council by the Board of Regents at the November meeting The institute was established in 1977 to facilitate international business development in Georgia and the Southeast Because the former title had been found to be confusing and misleading the institutes advisory board and officials at GSU unanimously endorsed the requested name change to be effective Nov 13
A project to document the history of Georgias politics and politicians has been established at Georgia State University
The Georgia Governmental Documentation Project will include state governmental records and oral histories of Georgias unique political history The establishment of the project was announced Oct 30 at a symposium on history and government
This ongoing permanent collection at GSU will include public papers interviews and other memorabilia generated by governors legislators court officials and constitutional
officers The information will be collected preserved and made available for historical research as part of the project Nearly every aspect of state government operations will be documented
The records will be housed and cared for in the universitys special collections department said Dr Thomas B Brewer vice president for academic affairs at GSU It will provide archival resources for the study of Georgias political history by students historians political scientists scholars and others who desire a better understanding of state government the people who run it and the manner in which decisions affecting every citizen of our state are made and carried out
Plans call for the project to begin with a series of interviews with living former governors

The System Summary

Continuing Ed Programs Provide Enrichment
Individuals of all ages and backgrounds are able to keep themselves abreast of new knowledge and are able to enrich their personal and professional lives thanks to the University System of Georgias commitment to public service and continuing education
The University Systems continuing education program began when the Board of Regents adopted a policy statement on providing public service Programs consist of nondegree activities primarily and special types of collegedegreecredit courses The activities of each institution are designed to meet special educational informational and cultural needs of the people in the area served by the institution
As of spring quarter there were 3514 programs available with 161235 participants
This extension of the traditional oncampus learning process is available wherever sufficient interest has been found All universities senior colleges and junior colleges in the University System of Georgia offer these nondegree activities
Continuing education programs cover a wide variety of areas in professional development personal enrichment and recreation Creative writing computer operation management skills and interpersonal communication are examples of the topics presented through short courses seminars
conferences lectures concerts exhibits and consultative and advisory services Course lengths range from a single session to a series of several sessions with each session lasting approximately one hour or a few hours
The continuing education programs seem to be more popular with females Spring quarter statistics show that 32145 participants were female and 26035 were male Thirteen thousand three hundred and three of the participants for spring quarter were from minority groups
The offerings serve the interests of people within a wide range of ages from youths to senior citizens The age group with the largest number of participants in the 1985 spring quarter was that of 23 to 35yearolds which included 17003 participants
Most of the continuing education unit credit is not applicable toward the earning of a degree or certificate the public servicecontinuing education courses providing credit applicable toward the earning of college degrees are offered on a relatively limited scale Typically they are offered outside the traditional degree and certificated programs of the institution
Faculty members in instruction and research at the University System institutions participate in conducting the nondegree public servicecontinuing education activities at the institutions Also specialists from outside the institutions assist in conducting some of these activities

MRR
Funding
Needed
Many of the Systems science labs need complete rehabilitation This outdated overcrowded lab with exposed ceilings and dangling electrical outlets is in Georgia State Universitys Kell Hall
When the Board of Regents asks the Georgia General Assembly for capital outlay funds to construct new buildings it often makes headline news But a need that usually goes unheralded is that of funding repairs to existing buildings on the University Systems 33 campuses
Its always nice to build new buildings says Fred Branch vice chancellor for facilities but a special need right now is in maintenance and repair
That need is so great that Chancellor H Dean Propst has made it clear that increased funding for major repairrehabilitation MRR is a top priority in the Boards request for the fiscal year 1987 appropriation from the legislature The problems of toolong deferred maintenance are catching up with us says Propst
One of the reasons that MRR funding is not generally frontpage news is that such projects have no sex appeal explains Branch adding Nobody wants to go out and give a speech dedicating a new sewer line
Another reason is that many of the needs are felt only by select groups those who live in the dormitory with the defective boiler or the students and employees in wheelchairs who have to
make it around campus without ramps or elevators Some needs are obvious however as when the parapet of Davis Hall at South Georgia College collapsed
MRR funds are used for such diverse projects as reroofing buildings replacing boilers or chillers installing or upgrading heating and air conditioning systems resurfacing parking lots installing wheelchair elevators or ramps repainting building exteriors demolishing unsafe and unused outbuildings and extending underground storm sewer lines
Each year the Board of Regents receives from each institution a prioritized list of projects for MRR funding Throughout the year the Board distrib
utes the appropriation received from the state for MRR until the money runs out The vice chancellor for facilities has the authority to allocate amounts up to 50000 and any requests over that amount must be approved by the Board of Regents A certain amount of money is held in reserve until late June to cover emergency situations such as a major electrical failure

General Studies Nursing Degrees Approved
Three colleges received authorization from the Board of Regents in December to offer a bachelor of general studies degree as part of an effort to attract older students
Effective in the fall of 1986 Georgia College Georgia Southern College and Valdosta State College will offer the degree which is designed to provide strong background in the liberal arts for nontraditional students such as military personnel and others who have interrupted their education and are returning after a significant lapse of time
Each of the proposed programs offers essentially the same structure which includes substantial study in two or more areas of the arts and science curriculum in addition to completion of the core curriculum
The Board also approved a bachelor of science in nursing for North Georgia College to be effective fall quarter 1987
According to the American Nurses Association the minimal preparation for the professional nursing practice should be the baccalaureate degree in nursing
The program will be the only one of its kind in a military college

Board of Regents Will Conduct Education Program on AIDS
Rather than attempting to keep victims of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome out of University System institutions the Board of Regents will fight the spread of the vims by establishing a Systemwide program to educate students and employees about the ways in which the virus can be transmitted
In a report presented by experts at the Boards December meeting the Regents were told that educating students faculty and staff about the risks of certain types of behaviors by which the vims can be transmitted was more practical effective and humane than attempting to bar AIDS victims from the institutions
Students should learn for example not to take sexual risks or to use intravenous dmgs said Dr James Curran director of the AIDS Task Force at the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta
But we shouldnt be promoting fear Curran added nor should we deal with irrational concerns Because the vims is not spread through casual contact Curran said there is no risk involved in having AIDS victims attend classes or live in dormitories
From the point of view of attendance he said there really isnt an issue
The Board of Regents staff will develop a Systemwide education program which will include the distribution of pamphlets to all students and faculty and staff members

Chairman Gignilliat
Arthur M Gignilliat Jr
Q How does being a former legislator influence your work on the Board of Regents
Gignilliat It gives me a perspective that is very helpful in working with members of the General Assembly to have been in the legislative branch of government for several terms
Q As chairman what goals do you have for the Board of Regents Gignilliat The primary goal I have is for the Board of Regents and the University System to work more in concert with the other areas in state government that have a vital and vested interest in higher education To name a few are the General Assembly the State Department of Education and the new Board of Postsecondary Vocational Education The Board of Regents is not a fourth branch of government We cannot operate in a vacuum that excludes these other parties that have so great an impact on what we want to accomplish I dont want to leave any
Editors Note This interview with Board of Regents Chairman Arthur M Gignilliat Jr is the fifth in a series on individuals who have an impact on the University System of Georgia See Pages 6 and 7 for interviews with Sen William W Fincher Jr and Rep Thomas B Buck III
doubt the Regents are the constitutional body vested with the authority to govern and operate the University System but I cant overemphasize the critical importance in my mind of bringing on board as part of our planning process and working closely with the governor and his staff the General Assembly and the other two departments in state government that are primarily concerned with education We all need to be traveling the same path I dont always expect unanimous consent on our plans and ideas but the cooperative process is going to help this Board and the University System accomplish more of its goals and be of greater benefit in providing the educational services we are responsible forif we can do it in a cooperative rather than an exclusive atmosphere
Q Over the last year and a half the Board has had to deal with a number of significant issues including the selection of a new chancellor Has the pressure of the past year had an effect on the Board
Gignilliat We have gone through some difficult times in the last two years but I believe that the membership of the Board at the present time is cohesive and is dedicated to a common purpose We have met some difficult issues and we have survived them There are going
to be many challenges and difficulties ahead but I believe that with the strong sense of purpose which each member of the Board has exhibited that we can successfully meet those challenges when they come We will have a financial problem It will be difficult with our budgeting process during a period of stable to declining enrollments That is a problem that is going to be difficult to address but it is a management problem that can be solved Some hard decisions are going to have to be made along the line but I think those decisions will be made as fairly and equitably as possible taking into consideration the interest of the state at large Q As a businessman do you believe that the University System should be run more like a business
Gignilliat I dont think you can completely overlap business procedures on academic institutions While we certainly want to do everything we can to improve productivity and be more economical there are some things that just dont relate themselves to a business practice However one of the positive things I think that will come out of the financial shortcoming that we may be seeing is that we are going to be forced to learn how to live on a leaner budget I am convinced that there is room in our Systems budget to make some cuts
Board is ready to meet challenges

that will hurt but will not be counterproductive
Q Do you think the value of higher education is diminishing in this state Gignilliat I think sometimes it is overlooked Every study that I have seen indicates that over a persons lifetime he or she will earn thousands of dollars more with the benefit of higher education At the same time I dont think we ought to convince ourselves that a college degree is the answer for everyone We need to pay attention to the vocationaltechnical education and I would like to commend the exceptional joint programs in that area that we have at institutions such as Brunswick Clayton Dalton and Bainbridge junior colleges
Q What issues do you see on the horizon that the Board will have to deal with
Gignilliat I think that the most timely issue that we will face is the 1986 session of the Georgia General Assembly and to what degree we will be successful in advocating the importance of the budget request that we have made The governor I hope will be proposing some significant improvements and is building on a solid base of improvements that he has recommended during his tenure We can take the University System a great deal further towards quality if we are successful There are still some significant areas that have not been funded in the past that we need to catch up with
Q Why did you accept a position on the Board of Regents
Gignilliat I grew up in a family of educatorsand I dont know if that is an osmosis effect or notbut it was something of interest in my family Also during my 15 years in the General Assembly I had the privilege of serving on the University System of Georgia Committee in the House 1 spent four years as chairman of that committee and it was probably the most interesting and enjoyable part of serving in the General Assembly I was truly grateful when Governor Harris gave me the opportunity to continue my interest in higher education as a member of the Board of Regents I think it is probably the most critical area of state government where we can really have an effect on the economy of this state and the quality of life of our citizens
Gignilliat conducts Board of Regents meeting
Q Did you have an influence on your childrens decision to attend college in Georgia
Gignilliat My son is a graduate of Georgia Tech and my daughter is a senior at the University of Georgia It was their selection and I think that it is fortunate that we have two institution of that caliber available to Georgia citizens While improvements can be made in anything I dont think we have any apologies to make for what we can offer students at our colleges and universities in Georgia
Q You have in recent months spoken to faculty members at various institutions What type of discussions have you been having with them Gignilliat Ive had the opportunity to visit with several groups including the American Association of University
Professors in Georgia Ive just been telling them that there is no way to be more effective in the process of higher education than to have a faculty ready willing and able to teach the students who are willing to learn We must create that kind of atmosphere in the University System and in my opinion faculty are the catalyst of the entire higher education process Their responsibilities are awesome and I commend them for the contributions they have made to this very unique University System which Georgia is fortunate to have

An Indian burial mound believed to be 1000 years old was excavated this past summer by a group of amateur archaeologists directed by Dr Karl Steinen associate professor of anthropology at West Georgia College
The mound located near Cairo in Grady County was discovered to be ceremonial in nature and of the Weeden Island Indian culture Thirty to 35 bowls and vases which were found during the dig were taken to archaeology labs at West Georgia where students are reconstructing broken pieces
We are encouraging our students to get involved with this project said Steinen This is a great opportunity for us to study past cultures that were right here in our state
Steinen along with five volunteers from across the country spent three weeks uncovering secrets of the mound There were some human bone fragments found but they were badly deteriorated Also discovered was what Steinen called a small village or meeting place located approximately one kilometer from the mound along the Ochlocknee River He hopes to take a crew back there next summer for further exploration of the area
The digs according to Steinen ben
efit a lot of people When we go out on a dig and bring things back it not only gives me added experience but it gives the students handson learning 1 use many of the artifacts in my classes and that helps them to understand more about what we are studying
Discovery of the mound came about when a Cairo native became curious about the low mound near a firebreak he had been plowing and notified Georgia State archaeologist Dr Louis Larson Larson also a professor of anthropology at West Georgia asked Steinen if he would be interested in taking on the excavation task
The mound is located on land owned by Balfour Lumber Company and according to Steinen the company was very cooperative in helping with the excavation The college along with Balfour has plans to set up exhibits around Grady County so artifacts may be viewed by the public
Steinen believes that the site is of the same cultural tradition as the Kolomoki Indian Mounds located in nearby Early County
I would describe this as a frontier settlement mounda minor religious center on the fringe of the area centered on Kolomoki he explained
Indian
Burial
Mound
Excavated
At left Karl Steinen r of West Georgia College and Sonny Lee remove a stump while excavating Indian artifacts
This mound was the burial place of either an important local religious leader or tribal chief
Within the mound excavators found remains of a ceremonial fire ringed with various pieces of pottery The pieces were believed to have been used in some sort of ceremony and were decorated with many designs associated with the Weeden Island Indian culture
Like most civilizations the Weeden Island Indians had their major centers and also regional centers Through his knowledge of the Weeden Indian Steinen was able to locate the small village or meeting place near the river
According to Steinen the Weedens ocupied the area forming a triangle from Mobile Ala along the Gulf Coast to Lake City Fla He also identified the mound as being of late Weeden Culture meaning that the tribes eventually evolved into such tribes as the Appalachees and Lower Creek groups
After the reconstruction process displays will be set up in south Georgia Artifacts will then be taken back to Carrollton where Steinen said arrangements will be made to display the collection at the college or somewhere else in Carroll County

How will higher education fare in 86
Chairmen of the Senate and House higher education committees discuss their expectations for the upcoming General Assembly Session
Q What are the big issues for the General Assembly this year
Buck I have always taken the position that the budget is the most important piece of legislation that is considered by the General Assembly whether it relates to higher education or human resources or transportation With the large surplus there are more demands from all the agencies to get some of their projects off dead center than there would be if we had no surplus We have been through some lean years recently and now we have come out of that I think it is a credit to the state of Georgia and to the people who are run
Senator WW Bill Fincher Jr 71 was born in Canton Ga and has lived in Chatsworth for 50 years Fincher who is a pharmacist theater owner and businessman has served in the Senate since 1965 He is currently serving for the seventh year as chairman of the Higher Education Committee of the Senate Fincher served as a member of the Study Committee on Public Higher Education Finance which developed the formula currently used for determining the University Systems budget request
ning the government that we do have a surplus
Fincher The budget is always the biggest item Medical malpractice insurance is going to be very controversial and of course the Quality Basic Education Act the funding and the fact that there will be some amendments offered With the supplemental budget they all want a slice of the pie We had 16 meetings in one week with people wanting some of the surplus The nopass noplay issue will also be big
Q How will higher education fit in with the General Assembly this year
Buck Weve got a lot of needs in higher education The best thing that has happened since I have been involved with the University System has been our strides in the direction of funding the Formula for Excellence I think that the governor has made some real strong moves in that area and 1 anticipate and hope that in the next several years the full formula will be adopted and the recommendations from the governors office will be implemented Once we get that I think we are going to find the System to be in a real sound financial position to do some things that we need to do and havent done One thing that concerns me and 1 have travelled through out the System since 1 have been chairman of this committee is the need for rehabilitation money for buildings that should be preserved or remodeled Not only do we have a need sometimes for a new building on a particular campus but we also must be sure that we look after those that we already have as far as maintenance and rehabilitation are concerned
Fincher I think we will fund the continuation of quality improvement money for equipment and technology because that is very important to high technology industries in Georgia The Eminent Scholars Program is very beneficial to the state and funding those chairs is very important Twenty years ago most of our students were leaving Georgia and going out of state for postgraduate work at other universities and now
6
The System Summary
Georgia is our flagship Institutions in the System are now recognized nationally and we are having students come here from other states to do postgraduate work
Q You have had time to review the University Systems budget request What is your reaction to its priorities
Buck I have tried very hard to work closely with the chancellor and the central office staff and the Regents not to tell them what to do by any means but to find out what their needs are and how we can help The close working relationship that exists between all the parties involved ensures that we all agree on the priorities for the University System My committee is a good committee a strong committee a prestigious committee as far as I am concerned Every member of the committee has a real interest in quality in higher education By virtue of the people on my committee and our staff we are very knowledgeable about the needs of the System and it is not just something that we look at when the session begins it is a yearround thing I try to encourage committee members to attend Board of Regents meetings if they can find it within their time frame We are involved in what is going on not trying to run the System itself but to lend a helping hand
Fincher I really think Dean Propst is going to make an excellent chancellor
I feel he is conscientious and knowledgeable and I would think our committee will support his recommendations My personal goal is to make our educational system one of the top if not the top in the country
Q What kind of reaction will the Systems appropriation request receive in the General Assembly
Buck I feel very comfortable with the recommendations I feel that the General Assembly and particularly the House will be very kind to the Regents Im real thankful that the Board of Regents is a constitutional board and is
Representative Thomas B Buck III 47 is a native of Columbus Ga He graduated from Emory University and the Emory University Law School Buck who is an attorney has served in the House of Representatives since 1967 He is currently serving for the sixth year as chairman of the University System of Georgia Committee of the House of Representatives Buck served as a member of the Study Committee on Public Higher Education Finance
divorced somewhat from the political arena Im glad we dont have a situation like the state of Alabama where each institution comes on its own to get funding That to me is nothing but politics and it promotes utter chaos within The ultimate goal of higher education is to provide quality education to the citizens of Georgia and those that come into our System from out of state
Fincher I think the General Assembly will be receptive and I am sure that education and higher education will be a top priority with the governor I am sure we will fund most of what he includes in his budget request
Q What progress has been made in higher education since you have been in the General Assembly
Buck I think there has been a steady improvement in the physical plants within the System I think theres been a steady improvement in the compensation paid to faculties within the System Of course a lot of that has been inflation but still there has been some enrichment in the compensation even in the lean years I think the end product is improving and a high school graduate in Georgia is blessed with some fine institutions I am excited about the recognition that we get nationwide as far as some of the projects that go on at the University of Georgia and at Georgia Tech in the research area
Research is very very important to the well being and the future of this country and this state in particular
Fincher We are very proud of our University System and it is one of the best in the nation now In 1960 there were 30000 students and just 19 institutions We awarded 5626 degrees that year By the 1980s these numbers had increased to well over 120000 students enrolled in 33 institutions The number of degrees awarded is more than 22000 During the last 20 years we have built enough junior colleges so that every high school student in the state has access to a college campus We have also come a long way in the realization that higher education and economic development are closely linked To fully develop economically we must seek not only to increase the number of Georgians attending institutions of higher learning but we must also stimulate the advanced research at our major institutions that will lead to advances in business and agriculture because these serve to attract businesses dependent on these advances in Georgia

MRR Needs Are Critical
Continued from Front Cover
MRR projects normally amount to no more than 250000 and projects requiring funding above that amount are usually funded through capital outlay money Although routine repairs can usually be paid for with money on hand at the institutions most major repairs and renovation projects must be paid for out of MRR funds
The Board of Regents has included in its FY 87 appropriation request 19231590 for MRR funding That amount would fully fund the MRR element of the formula developed by the Study Committee on Public Higher Education Finance in 1982 The study committee recommended that the annual allocation for MRR projects be equal to 34 of one percent of the total replacement value of all facilities in the University System
If the University System receives full funding for MRR in the 86 legislative session that would be an 111 million increase over the amount received for the 86 fiscal year The amount received for FY 86 was 13 of one percent of the replacement value
That 13 of one percent received last year was an increase over the FY 85 amount which was 14 of one percent We are very grateful to the governor and to the General Assembly for that
increase says Propst but we still need additional dollars this year Most University System campuses have buildings which are in need of major repairs Of the 2139 buildings owned by the Board of Regents only 771 are fewer than 20 years old
Most of the 510 buildings 40 years old or older need complete replacement or renewal of all major systems and surfaces
At 200 years of age the University of Georgia is the oldest institution in the University System and has the largest number 25 of buildings that are more than 99 years old In all there are 37 Systemowned buildings which are 99 years old or older There are also 28 buildings 8099 years old and 90 buildings which are 6079 years old
Most of the 510 buildings 40 years old or older need complete replacement or renewal of all major systems and surfaces according to Branch Many of the buildings over 20 years old need similar repairs especially in their electrical and heating and air conditioning systems
There are 422 buildings 20 to 29 years old Twenty years is about the extent of the life of a good quality roof according to Branch and the reroofing of an averagesized academic building costs 150000 or more Still unfunded and still on Georgia Techs request list after FY 86 MRR funding had been allocated were roofs for eight buildings including a 200000 roof for the OKeefe Building
As of midDecember about 62 million of the FY 86 MRR funds have already been committed for such projects as adding rest rooms to Georgia Colleges Russell Hall Auditorium and replacing or extending existing underground heating and air conditioning water lines at Brunswick Junior College for 175000 Other projects include 35000 in building adjustments at Augusta College ordered by fire marshals and 250000 to extend the underground electrical distribution system at North Georgia College
About 60000 has been allocated to consultants who prepare applications for federal grants to make University System buildings more energy efficient Such efforts at energy efficiency include the replacement of incandescent lighting with fluorescent lighting and installing microprocessorbased energy management systems Such systems offer a greater degree of control over power usage providing the most efficient and appropriate use for buildings or even entire campuses
The total dollar amount for projects remaining unfunded on the FY 86 request list submitted by the institutions is approximately 35 million and the list will grow when the institutions submit their new requests for the coming year
Chancellor Propst describes increased MRR funding from the General Assembly as a critical need for the University System and adds Deferring maintenance isnt saving anybody any money

The System Summary
Task Force Advises Increased Use Availability of Computers
Learning to use computers does not mean becoming a computer programmer it means learning how computers and computer programs can make learning and living more productive more creative and more personally fulfilling according to a report from the Information Technology Task Force ITTF for Computer Literacy
Dr Jesse Poore associate vice president of academic affairs and professor of information and computer science at the Georgia Institute of Technology presented the task force report at the December meeting of the Board of Regents
Regents Jackie M Ward Julius Bishop and Lloyd L Summer Jr are the members of the Special Committee on Availability of Student Computers which was established to determine how computers can be used as tools of education within the University System
The reports recommendations for students and faculty were to learn to use computers and to purchase a personal computer if possible Faculty members were urged to make a conscious effort to use computers as tools in their regular teaching activities
The task force advised institutions to assist and reward faculty members who improve their teaching through computer usage to establish computer instruction programs for faculty members and to equip classrooms for computer instruction and learning use
The report also recommended that the chancellors staff and the appropriate committees consider the addition of computing courses to specific areas of the core curriculum expand the role of the Computer Science Institute which trains faculty members to teach computer science arrange for faculty and students to purchase discounted computer equipment and software and expand the capacity of the University Systems Computer Network The Board of Regents was asked to consider exercising its autonomy from the state EDP committee

Education Opportunities for Deaf Should Be Expanded
Providing quality postsecondary education for Georgias deaf citizens is a worthwhile humanitarian goal but the number of deaf citizens who desire and are qualified to attend baccalaureate programs is not large enough to support a separate fouryear college for deaf persons according to a report presented by the University System Study Committee on Deaf Education to the Board of Regents in December
The committee recommended instead that programs for the deaf which already exist at Floyd Junior College and at DeKalb Community College should be expanded to provide additional college education opportunities The committee also recommended that Floyd Junior College be designated as the Center for Deaf Education in Georgia and that FJC provide twoyear transfer programs computer science and other appropriate programs provide technical assistance to other System institutions serving deaf students develop and maintain a comprehensive database on Georgias deaf population provide leadership for continuing education programs and consider providing student housing for deaf students
The committee recommended that the existing deaf education program at DeKalb Community College which is scheduled to enter the University System on July 1 1986 should continue to be strengthened expanded and assigned the responsibility for twoyear transfer programs and other appropriate career programs and provide continuing education programs including programs for public awareness for the hearing population
Also recommended was the establishment of a baccalaureate level education program for qualified deaf students preferably at a senior college or university located in the metropolitan Atlanta area
Even if existing University System institutions are selected as centers to serve different regions of the state deaf students would still have access to any System institution for which they are qualified
The report from the committee described as crucial the need for deaf students to have improved access to vocational technical programs Data studied by the committee indicate that as many as threefourths of the deaf persons who would enroll in a postsecondary education program would select vocational technical programs The State Board of Postsecondary Vocational Education was advised to develop a plan for providing expanded quality vocational programs in areas of the state with significant deaf populations
The strengthening of interpreter services and teacher education programs for training teachers for the hearing impaired was also recommended
