committee Dr H Dean Propst chancellor of the University System of Georgia appeared before a Georgia General Assembly joint House and Senate appropriations committee on Jan 23 to address its members on the current budget needs of the University System Propst expressed great pleasure with the recommendation by Gov Joe Frank Harris to provide for the first time full funding of the Systems Formula for Excellence In the fiscal year 1987 budget request the chancellor had identified four priorities 1 to fund the one percent quality improvement item at a cost of 7271000 2 to fund the final year of the phasein of the indirect cost recoveries program at a cost of 2732906 3 to increase the major repair and rehabilitation MRR fund from A of one percent to 3A of one percent at a cost of 19231590 and 4 to utilize the workload factors originally recommended in 1982 by the Study Committee on Public Higher Education Finance to calculate the amount allocated for resident instruction a 69 million difference Gov Harris in his budget address to the General Assembly on Jan 15 recommended along with the full funding of the formula a four percent increase for salary funding in addition to the 15 percent included in the continuation budget 545 million in bonds for new construction and 245 million to supplement the 75 million already appropriated to complete the 32 million bioscience building at the University of Georgia In now recommending the full funding of the University System formula said Propst Gov Harris has provided us with the opportunity to extend further the vision of what Georgia education can become as a new century approaches The governor also included in his budget request an additional 500000 to establish two 1 million chairs of excellence at the Medical College of Georgia and Georgia State University as part of the Eminent Scholars Program GSU and MCG would each receive 250000 to fund the chairs provided that they are able to raise the remaining 750000 each in private dollars He also provided for funding to bring DeKalb Junior College into the System effective July 1 The University System of Georgia is delighted with the governors budget recommendations for fiscal year 1987 the Fund the 1 quality improvement item 7271000 Fund the final year of the phasein of the indirect cost recoveries program 2732906 Increase the major repair and rehabilitation fund from A of 1 to 3A of 1 of replacement value of buildings 19231590 Utilize the workload factors originally recommended by the Study Committee on Public Higher Education Finance to calculate the amount allocated for resident instruction 69 million difference chancellor told the joint appropriations committee The governors recommendations are a clear and direct signal that the thrust toward excellence in educational opportunities for all Georgians applies to all levels of education in this state he continued Propst also asked the committee to support the governor in his efforts to allow the institutions to retain all indirect cost recoveries from grants and contracts In the past money received by institutions in the form of grants and contracts for research that was not spent directly on research activities was put into the University System budget Allowing individual institutions to retain that money compensates them for expenses indirectly related to research such as expenses for facilities library materials and support personnel Concerning the full funding of the MRR component the chancellor said If this is approved the Regents will assume responsibility within the MRR appropriation for the continuing renovation of Talmadge Hospital at the Medical College of Georgia the campus enhancement of the traditionally black institutions committed as part of the states desegregation plan and the completion of the asbestos removal program throughout the System Propst also assured the committee that future tuition increases for FY 1987 and beyond will be only at the level required to maintain the 25 percent75 percent ratio called for by the funding formula In his closing remarks the chancellor told the committee that although the budget recommendation made by Gov Harris is very good its approval will not however remove from the Board of Regents the obligation to make some rather painful management decisions as it allocates funds to the various System institutions It is our obligation in the System to utilize our funding in the most efficient and most appropriate manner possible PEOPLE New regent appointed The newest member of the University System of Georgia Board of Regents John W Robinson Jr was sworn in by Gov Joe Frank Harris Jan 7 Robinson who is from Winder replaces Julius Bishop of Athens as the Regent representing the tenth district and will serve a sevenyear term Bishop had served on the Board since 1979 Robinson 46 is president of Southern Waistbands a manufacturer of interlining products for the apparel trade He also operates a sales agency for Threads US A Harris called Robinson an outstanding businessman with a long record of public service and community involvement and added He thoroughly shares my commitment to quality education in Georgia Having served on the 1984 chancellor search and screen committee he is already quite familiar with the operation of the University System and I believe he will make a significant contribution to the membership of the Board A director of the Bank of Barrow Robinson is also a member of the Barrow County Schools Vocational Training Advisory Committee He is a native of Barrow County and attended the University of Georgia Robinson had served on the Board of Natural Resources representing the 10th congressional district since 1983 and was serving as chairman of the Game and Fish Committee when he was selected as a Regent In order to serve on the Board of Regents Robinson has had to resign from the Board of Natural Resources because state law prohibits officials from serving in two appointed positions simultaneously John W Robinson Jr Administrative appointments approved Three appointments to administrative positions in University System institutions were approved by the Board of Regents in January Dr Gary W Poehlein 49 was named associate vice president for research at the Georgia Institute of Technology Poehlein who holds BS MS and PhD degrees in chemical engineering from Purdue University will also continue to serve on a parttime basis as professor and as director of the School of Chemical Engineering positions he has held at Tech since 1978 Poehlein previously taught at Lehigh University from 196578 His appointment as associate vice president was effective Jan 9 Herman L Bradshaw Jr 43 was appointed registrar at Southern Technical Institute effective Jan 13 Bradshaw who has served as director of admissionsregistrar at Floyd Junior College since 1974 received the BA in mathematics from Shorter College and the MAT in mathematics from Emory University Dr Walter Edward Bolton Jr 44 was appointed chairman of the Division of Science and Mathematics at Emanuel County Junior College effective Feb 1 He will continue to serve as associate professor of mathematics a position he has held at the junior college since 1983 Bolton who taught previously at Western Carolina University and at Oxford College of Emory University received the AB in mathematics from Mercer University the MS in mathematics from the University of Florida and the EdD in mathematics education from the University of Georgia 2 Retirees awarded emeritus designations The recently retired president of Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College and a retired University of Georgia associate professor were awarded emeritus titles by the Board of Regents at the January meeting Dr William H Waggoner 61 was designated associate professor emeritus of chemistry effective Jan 9 Waggoner who holds an AB in chemistry from Hiram College and the MS and PhD degrees in chemistry from Western Reserve University served as associate professor at the University of Georgia from 1958 until his retirement on Sept 30 1985 He had previously served as assistant professor at the university from 195258 The title president emeritus of the college was approved for Dr Stanley Robert Anderson 65 who served as ABACS president from 1975 until his retirement Dec 31 1985 Anderson whose emeritus title was effective Jan 8 received the MS in crop science botany from Michigan State University and the PhD in agronomyeconomic botany from Iowa State University 2 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY RESEARCH t i Corn earworms jumping DNA and new vaccines t oo Co 90 Biotechnology We hear the word everywhere today It has become a word of almost magical proportions full of the promise of new cures for human diseases new plants resistant to pests and disease and amazing new knowledge about the fundamental elements of life itself The basic idea is not new Biotechnology simply means the use of living things or living processes to manufacture products The oldest example of biotechnology is probably the use of yeasts which are living organisms to make alcoholic beverages But the biotechnology revolution of today has been the result of modern techniques that have made it possible not merely to use living organisms the way they arebut actually to manipulate the genetic structure of living things These techniquesknown as genetic engineeringhave opened up a whole new world of possibilities for using biology to investigate and perhaps to solve many of the most serious problems facing human health agriculture and industry today At the University of Georgia a new program to encourage research in biotechnology was announced in 1984 Under this program researchers in many different disciplines have begun projects related to biotechnology Continued JANFEB 1986 3 The corn earworm although small does tremendous damage to such crops as corn cotton tomatoes soybeans and peanuts One example of the kind of research being conducted is Joe Crims search for a better way to control one of the worlds most destructive insect pests the corn earwormalso known as the cotton bollworm This worm Heliothis zea also damages a number of other plants including tomatoes soybeans and peanutsbut it is on corn and cotton that the insect is at its worst Anyone who has ever grown corn in their backyard has seen the corn earwormT Crim says Its always there You really cant completely prevent it All you can do is try to manage your crop so that it will do as little damage as possible Crim a zoologist is working with a team of scientists from several different fields Arden Lea an insect physiologist Gene Brady and Dave Ross insect toxicologists and Gary Herzog an agricultural entomologist at the universitys Experiment Station in Tilton The goal of this interdisciplinary team is to identify key hormones in the body of the corn earworm that might make it possible to disrupt the worms digestive functions We would love to find the chemical signal for example that tells the animal that its full Crim says If they can identify the hormone that gives such a signal through genetic engineering that hormone might be artificially produced and administered at a critical time so that the worms would never develop their natural appetitesand so would not cause extensive damage to a crop Geneticist Judy Strommer has focused her studies on small unpredictable pieces of DNA that jump around and cause disruptions in the genetic information that is inherited by an organism These little pieces of DNA known as transposable elements might become important new tools in the process of genetic engineering Because they disrupt the expression of particular genes it might be possible to use them as genetic markers to identify genes responsible for particular traits For instance they might be used to identify the gene that makes a plant resistant to armyworms This gene might then be analyzed artificially produced and introduced into other plants to give them this resistant characteristic That kind of application is still a long way off Strommer says but she and her colleagues have begun to develop techniques to isolate transposable elements from a number of different plants Joining Strommer in this project is David Isenhour an entomologist with the universitys Agricultural Experiment Station in Tifton Strommer has 4 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY found this interdisciplinary connection to be one of the main benefits of the biotechnology program Because they started making these grants only for projects that involved collaboration between different disciplines that brought me into contact with people that 1 might never have dealt with she says Its not that 1 didnt want to meet them but I just probably never would have if we hadnt had this incentive And some very exciting experiments have already resulted from this collaboration In another area poultry scientist Peter Long and medical microbiologist Donald Evans are using monoclonal antibody and recombinant DNA technology to try to find an improved vaccine for coccidiosis a disease of poultry that causes major economic losses to the worlds poultry industry Evans explains that he and Long are trying to identify exactly what substance on a coccidiosis parasite can cause an infected animal to develop immunity to it If this substance known as an antigencan be identified and then artificially produced it could be used in pure form as a vaccine Monoclonal antibodies can help in this work at several different stages first by helping to identify the antigen on the parasite then by helping to purify the antigen and finally they could be used to actually identify the gene in the coccidia organism that makes the antigen This last step is the ultimate goal Evans says If the gene that makes the antigen can be identified and isolated it could be inserted into other organisms such as bacteria and the bacteria would produce quantities of the antigen that could be used as a vaccine We hope these projects will he only the beginning of research programs that will get basic research into the field which is the ultimate goal of what were trying to do Nathan Dean construct a 32 million biosciences building Since then Nathan Dean acting vice president for research at the university and director of the biotechnology program has announced 25 postdoctoral grants to fund collaborative research efforts in the biological sciences and biotechnology and the establishment of multiuser equipment facilities for biotechnology investigators The universitys biotechnology program was a logical outgrowth of its strength in the area of biological sciences research Dean says Much of the research that currently comes under the heading of biotechnology was begun years ago by scientists working in separate fieldsand Dean says that the pro grams most successful function so far has been to break down departmental barriers and encourage scientists in different fields to collaborate in research efforts that might result in the creation of useful biological products We hope the results of these efforts will be a kind of hybrid vigor in our research program Dean says We have zoologists working with agricultural entomologists biochemists working with researchers in forest resources microbiologists working with animal and dairy scientists and we hope these projects will be only the beginning of research programs that will essentially get basic research into the heldwhich is the ultimate goal of what were trying to do The Program in Biological 13 4 The Program in Biological Resources and Biotechnology These projects and others are being carried out under the University of Georgias Program in Biological Resources and Biotechnology formally announced by President Fred Davison in early 1984 Davison outlined plans for a fiveyear 5 million initial commitment of funds to the program along with plans to add up to 25 new faculty members in molecular biology and to jf Jr Judy Stommer studies Indian corn for more information about transposable elements small pieces of DNA that cause disruption in the genetic information that is inherited by an organism 1 JANFEB 1986 5 Resources and Biotechnology is also an extension of President Davisons emphasis on recognizing Georgias potential as a leader in the field of biological resources Davison sees the biotechnology program as a key link between the university and the state as a whole a way of applying the intellectual and technical expertise of scientists at the university to problems and opportunities faced by the state As the largest state east of the Mississippi with two thirds of its 59000 square miles located in the fertile coastal plain Davison points out Georgia has abundant land water and other natural resources This new age of biotechnology presents a great opportunity for Georgia he says It can lead to incalculable economic benefit for Georgias citizens and businesses I believe we can create an entirely new and renew able economy based on the production conversion processing marketing and distribution of biological resources in Georgia by Georgians How does the program work As a formal effort the biotechnology program at the University of Georgia is still young It is expected to grow and to change rapidly Currently the program encompasses two main areas of action 1 Funding has been made available for competitively awarded research grants for equipment purchases and for recruitment of new faculty members in the area of molecular biology and 2 Four centers or areas of interdisciplinary research have been identified as key elements in the program to further encourage col laborative research in areas related to biotechnology A board of directors that is currently made up of University of Georgia faculty members one representative from another institution and one from industry acts as an advisory group to the president and the director for the program A scientific review committee made up of University of Georgia faculty members evaluates proposals submitted for award programs and advises the director on the selection of projects to be funded At the suggestion of the board of directors Dean explains our first program was for post doctoral support We have funded a total of 25 post doctoral associates and each of these positions represents what we hope will be the beginning of a new research project that will grow and will develop to the point where it can attract outside funding support So another way of putting it is that this is an incubation program for research in biotechnology here Research centers Research in the area of biotechnology is carried out in many different colleges schools and departments at the universityincluding the College of Agriculture the College of Veterinary Medicine the College of Pharmacy the School of Forest Resources the College of Home Economics and the College of Arts and Sciences But four specific areas of interdisciplinary research have been identified as important elements in the biotechnology program the Center for Biological Resource Recovery the Center for Plant Cell and Molecular Biology the Complex Carbohydrate Research Center and a number of faculty members pursuing collaborative research in different areas related to molecular biology Bob Gregerson left looks on as Judy Strommer collects purified DNA from density gradient i I y i a f I 1 t 4 The Center for Biological Resource Recovery under the direction of biochemist Lars Ljungdahl coordinates studies dealing with the use of microorganisms such as bacteria and yeasts in the conversion of natural resources to usable products The center has emphasized fermentation research and applied microbiological research It has begun to establish contacts with industry to explore ways in which the work of scientists at the university might contribute to the development of new industrial applications using microorganisms Because Georgia produces large amounts of agricultural and forestry products each year scientists at this center are particularly interested in the potential for the development of a fermentation industry in the state The Center for Plant Cell and Molecular Biology under the direction of biochemist Leon Dure was established to support and encourage interaction among University of Georgia researchers interested in the molecular aspects of plant growth and development Researchers from biochemistry botany genetics agronomy forestry and other fields collaborate in projects under the direction of this center which places an emphasis on applying modern techniques of genetic engineering to important economic problems especially in the area of agriculture and the improvement of agricultural crops The Complex Carbohydrate Research Center has just been established at the university this fall The first such facility in the world this center will focus its research on the role of complex carbohydrates in controlling plant growth development reproduction and disease resistance The center is directed by biochemist Peter Albersheim who has come to Georgia from the University of Colorado bringing with him a team of more than 20 researchers and technicians and over 15 million worth of laboratory equipment as well as grants from several United States agencies Albersheim and his team of researchers were the first to discover that a sugar fragment in cell walls can act as a plantregulating hormone Since that discovery they have identified other cell wall fragments that also control certain aspects of plant growth Joe Crim examines data from the highperformance liquid chromatography system used to characterize and purify peptides The fourth area of emphasis within the universitys biotechnology program is not formally organized into a center but encompasses the work of scientists in several areas of molecular biology especially scientists from the College of Veterinary Medicine and the departments of molecular and population genetics microbiology biochemistry and zoology Among the facilities available to scientists conducting research in the area of biotechnology at the University of Georgia are two facilities for the production of monoclonal antibodies a DNA synthesis and protein sequencing facility and a fluorescenceactivated cell sorter Asked about the focus of the biotechnology program for the coming year Dean answers that the emphasis now is shifting toward attracting new faculty members with strong backgrounds in the area of biotechnology research Although we have had a strong program of research in the biological sciences for many yearsand it is this strength on which we are buildingthe emphasis on biotechnology is new he points out We expect the biotechnology program to change as it grows in response to the needs of society and in response to the needs of scientists carrying out the research Sigrid G Sanders This article was reprinted from the fall 1985 issue of Georgia Alumni Record a publication of the Alumni Society of the University of Georgia Sigrid G Sanders is a member of the universitys public relations staff and is the editor of The University of Georgia Research Reporter JANFEB 1986 7 BOARD ACTION Degrees approved for 3 institutions The University of Georgia received authorization from the Board of Regents in January to begin offering a master of agricultural economics degree beginning in the 1986 fall quarter The program is designed to prepare students for professional employment on farms or with special agricultural business firms in the production and marketing of food and fiber A master of brand management degree was also authorized for the university effective fall quarter 1986 Brand managers direct national marketing programs of branded products Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College received authorization to offer the associate of applied science degree in selected areas in cooperation with Ben Hilllrwin VocationalTechnical School effective spring quarter 1986 The program will allow students with certain vocational diplomas to broaden their general education background thus becoming more competitive in the job market Two majors in Georgia State Universitys College of Education have been deactivated for an indefinite period They are the specialist in education degree with a major in education of the visually impaired and the doctor of philosophy degree with a major in special educationearly childhood Eminent scholars chairs established Both Georgia Tech and the University of Georgia received approval from the Board of Regents in January to establish endowed chairs to be funded through the Georgia Eminent Scholars Endowment Trust Fund House Bill 919 creating the Georgia Eminent Scholars Endowment Trust Fund was adopted by the Georgia General Assembly and signed into law by the governor in 1985 Included in the Board of Regents 1986 fiscal year budget was 500000 to fund the trust 250000 to Georgia Tech to establish an Eminent Scholars Chair in Microelectronics and the same amount to the University of Georgia for an Eminent Scholars Chair in Biotechnology In addition UGa received 750000 from the Kimberly Clark Corporation for its chair and Georgia Tech received the same amount from George Woodruff Searches to fill the chairs will be conducted according to guidelines submitted by the institutions presidents and approved by the chancellor In the letter in which Woodruff made the award to Georgia Tech he said As you know I have been called upon often to support the states educational institutions It has never been clear to me just where the states obligation ends and that of the private benefactor such as myself begins The Eminent Scholars Program has helped me to resolve some of that uncertainty and concern because I know that by participating in it my gift will not cause a reduction in state support to Tech but rather an increase in it We now have a partnership between the state and private philanthropy For that I enthusiastically commend those enlightened elected and appointed officials who have established the Eminent Scholars Program Georgia Tech was also authorized to establish the Georgia Power Company Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering Georgia Power Company will provide 52500 per year for the next five years for the support of the professorship Three distinguished chairs in business administration were approved for UGa They will be known collectively as the C Herman and Mary Virginia Terry Distinguished Chair in Business Administration and will be funded by a 400000 gift in trust to the universitys foundation by the Terrys Buildings and grounds At its January meeting the Board of Regents agreed to convey 32 acres of land on the campus of Brunswick Junior College to the Glynn County Board of Education for use by the education board to construct a football stadium and other facilities to serve students in the Glynn County School System Approximately 23 acres of this land is a portion of the more than 96 acres given to the Board of Regents by the Glynn County Board of Commissioners and the city of Brunswick in April of last year The remaining 9 acres was a portion of the 100 acres received by the Regents from the Glynn County Board of Commissioners and the city of Brunswick in January 1976 The Board approved a nonexclusive easement covering a 30 X 2700 strip of land at the University of Georgias School of Forest Resources Watson Spring Forest in Greene County to allow Georgia Power Company to install facilities adjacent to an ATT installation The demolition and removal of an unused onestory wood frame building at the University of Georgias Mountain Branch Experiment Station was approved The transfer of 045 of one acre of land at the universitys Coastal Plain Experiment Station to the state of Georgia for use by the Georgia Forestry Commission was authorized A refrigerated seed storage facility will be built on the land and will be used by both the forestry commission and the experiment station V ft A i r 8 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY BOARD ACTION Engineering school named for Woodruff Georgia Techs mechanical engineering school is now the George W Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering as approved by the Regents in January George W Woodruffs generosity to and support of education are well known At Georgia Tech his contributions have included the establishment of the George W Woodruff Endowment Funds for National Merit Scholars and the Woodruff Scholarships Fund for StudentAthletes in NonRevenue Sports He was chosen in 1985 as the Georgia Philanthropist of the Year Born in Atlanta in 1895 Woodruff attended Georgia Tech for three years as a mechanical engineering student and was a recognized student leader He served for 25 years as chairman of the board of directors of Continental Gin Company until his retirement in 1959 Since 1936 he has served as a director for The CocaCola Company where he is a member of the finance and compensation committees He has served as a director of the Atlantic Steel Company the Trust Company of Georgia and West Point Pepperell Inc among others and has been a trustee of the Emily and Ernest Woodruff Foundation Agnes Scott College Crawford Long Hospital the Georgia Tech Foundation Emory University the Atlanta Metropolitan YMCA the Rabun Gap Nacoochee School and the Walter F George Foundation of Mercer University Et cetera West Georgia College received authorization from the Board of Regents in January to reorganize its department of fine arts effective July 1 The reorganization will divide the existing department into two new ones the Department of Music and the Department of Mass Communications and Theater Arts Both will remain in the School of Arts and Sciences WGC also received approval to execute an agreement with the Psychical Research Foundation Inc providing for the establishment of a restricted account to fund a parttime faculty position in the Department of Psychology at WGC for the transfer of ownership of the David Wayne Hooks Library to WGC and for the publication of a professional journal The establishment of the CD LeBey Memorial Scholarship Fund at Georgia Tech was also approved in January Tech received from various sources during the 1960s a sum of money to establish a memorial fund in honor of CD LeBey The fund which is used for scholarships had never been approved formally by the Board of Regents Georgia Tech also received approval to make minor changes in the institutions statutes involving the ratio of representatives from the various academic areas to the facultys governing body The Regents approved a position statement setting a limit of 15 percent per year on increases in mandatory fees The Board also specified that each institution must provide full disclosure of collections and expenditures of mandatory fees and that each institution will publish an annual statement of financial condition including all receipts and disbursements from mandatory fees The statement will not be included in The Policy Manual but will be implemented by the chancellor Continuing education figures reported University System institutions conducted a total of 2812 nondegree continuing education programs during the summer quarter of 1985 The programs were attended by 77923 participants who enrolled for 2093329 participanthours Participants received 2087602 Continuing Education Units CEUs which are defined as 10 contact hours of participation by an individual in an organized continuing education program under responsible sponsorship capable direction and qualified instruction Most continuing education unit credit is not applicable toward the earning of a degree or certificate but continuing education courses which do provide degree credit are offered on a limited scale Continuing education programs cover a wide range of areas in professional development personal enrichment and recreation through short courses seminars conferences and lectures Courses range from computer operation and gift wrapping to creative writing and scuba diving Although continuing education participants range in age from toddlers to senior citizens the age group with the largest number of participants in the summer of 1985 was that of 22yearolds and under with 14127 followed by 23 to 35yearolds who numbered 9220 and 36 to 55yearolds with 9029 participants JANFEB 1986 9 ENROLLMENT SREB Trends indicate black enrollment will drop by 1990 BLACK COLLEGE ENROLLMENT NUMBER COMPLETING ONE YEAR OF COLLEGE AND NUMBER COMPLETING

fewer black students in college in 1990 than today if present trends continue according to a report from the Southern Regional Education Board The SREB came to that conclusion after reviewing significant factors affecting college enrollment and graduation rates which could lead to this decline in black students According to the report the situation has been developing since 1976 and is not a result of the current emphasis on improving the quality of education The SREB supported its conclusion with the following points From the mid1960s to the mid1970s the numbers of black students enrolling in colleges and universities rose dramatically and their relative proportion in total enrollment reached record highs Since 1976 the rate of increase for college attendance by black students has trailed the rate for total enrollment by a larger and larger margin Since 1982 according to information from the states covered by the SREB growth has been at a virtual standstill From the mid1960s to 1970 the number of black students completing four years of college grew 60 percent but between 1976 and 1982 only 9 percent The collegegoing rate of black high school graduates declined more than 8 percent from 1976 to 1982 There was an increase for white students despite a greater decline in their high school enrollment and graduation rates The numbers of schoolage youthboth black and whitehave declined and will continue to do so Therefore the only way to increase the collegeeligible pool of young black students is to raise the percentage of those who attend and graduate from high school At every level of education blacks enroll in school or college at lower rates than whites The cumulative effects of these differences reach major proportions by the time of high school graduation In 1982 only 58 percent of the 18to 19year old black population were high school graduates compared to 75 percent of whites in the same age group In academic preparation and performance levels which are major factors affecting college attendance the gap between black and white students persists The average reading proficiency of 17yearold eleventh grade black students is barely above the average for 13yearold seventh grade white students Only 17 percent of the Souths black high school juniors possess reading proficiency that is probably adequate for collegelevel study without remedial education compared to 56 percent of the white students Whether or not black students decide to go to college depends to a large extent on the amounts and kinds of financial aid available Since the mid1970s total dollars available for federal grants has grown but when adjusted for inflation funding has not kept up with the growth in college enrollments nor the cost of attending college A Pell Grant would have to equal 3000 today to be equivalent to the 1600 maximum grant possible in 1974 but the current maximum is 2100 10 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY n 4 4 K 1 6 Grants contracts gifts to colleges exceed 12 million Grants contracts and gifts received by University System senior colleges in fiscal year 1985 increasd by 419000 over the previous year According to a report presented to the Board of Regents in January the senior colleges received more than 125 million in 1985 Dr Haskin Pounds vice chancellor for research and planning attributed that increase to more aggressive efforts by senior college presidents and faculty members to compete for outside funding It s encouraging that these numbers are increasing said Pounds because federal money is decreasing The following is a list of the total grants contracts and gifts received by senior colleges for instruction research and service Albany State College 1691227 Armstrong State College 57300 Augusta College246116 Columbus

College Month as designated by Gov Joe Frank Harris in a proclamation signed Jan 31 President Ronald Reagan has also signed a bill declaring February Community College Month throughout the country Georgias junior colleges have scheduled a number of activities during February in recognition of their contribution to the states higher education effort Those activities include open houses special programs for youth groups exhibits of student artwork student musical performances and speeches given by college personnel to civic groups For many students the junior colleges provide a valuable means for the transition from high school to larger fouryear or universitylevel institutions said Chancellor H Dean Propst The junior colleges also provide a wealth of opportunities for those students who wish to enroll in career programs which prepare them for immediate employment after two years Georgias junior colleges public and private enroll approximately 43000 Georgians yearly The reasons for the popularity of junior colleges include they are easily accessible 78 percent ot the states population is within commuting distance of a publicjunior college they are comparatively inexpensive and they provide quality programs three of the top five institutions in rankings of Regents Test scores are junior colleges The fact that the transfer curriculum at the junior colleges is extremely sound is demonstrated by the success of students who transfer to baccalaureate degree programs at other institutions continued the chancellor The junior colleges historically have been located close to the people and traditionally have responded quickly to changing needs in the local community These colleges collectively are an important segment of the University System of Georgia IN BRIEF Kennesaw College invites the general public to share in its celebration of the Year in Mexico during the winter and spring quarters The college will stage a series of events including seminars on Mexicos economy anthropology and history movies depicting the countrys history and culture a photographic exhibition and a visit from the Mexican cultural affairs attache based in Washington DC The events will culminate in a nineday economy tour of Mexico featuring visits to the pyramids the silver markets of Taxco bullfights the Ballet Folklrico and some of the countrys colonial and revolutionary landmarks For more information about the Year in Mexico contact Diane Payne at 404 4292911 JANFEB 1986 11 UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA Arthur M Gignilllat Jr Savannah Chairman Elridge W

Medical illustration students A badly rendered illustration that teaches is better than a lovely illustration that doesnt teach says William Stenstrom director of the medical illustration program at the Medical College of Georgia A medical illustration has to fulfill its objective or it is of no use The medical illustration program has maintained and broadened its basic philosophy of creative interpretation of visual information that is not only clear and accurate but also appropriate for its stated need and intended use since it came into existence as the Department of Art as Applied to Medicine in 1948 The difference between artwork and illustration is that artwork is an original statement of its creator while illustration visualizes ideas or information for someone else Stenstrom says Medical illustrators have to keep their artistic egos down This is difficult for some students to accept when they first come into the program At the same time it has to be recognized that the profession does have its own area of expertise That expertise calls for a blending of science and art in what Stenstrom calls a rare breed The masters level program which takes twoandahalf years to complete combines courses in a variety of illustration techniques with courses in gross anatomy histology Anatomy of the facial nerve and parotid gland a retouched photograph by thirdyear student Mark Schornak embryology pathology and neuroanatomy taken with medical and dental students as well as courses in the reproduction of illustrations in the print slide and electronic media Stenstrom says in recent years many prospective students have had a problem getting a sufficient background in realistic art Students are having trouble getting enough realistic drawing experience in art school because abstraction and selfexpression are usually taught he says adding We do have a good relationship with the department of art at the University of Georgia They understand what we need In addition to taking art courses and science the students spend almost their entire second year observing surgery making sketches and coming back to the classroom to do drawings from what they have seen Stenstrom says This gives them an outstanding background doing surgical drawing We also instill the problemsolving aspects of medical illustration this is an area we coni5e page 8 TEACHING GSW hosts writing program for teachers During the summer of 1985 19 carefully selected teachers from first grade through college level were invited to participate in Georgia Southwestern Colleges first Summer Institute for the Southwest Georgia Writing Project They were awarded stipends given academic credit for their work and provided with the opportunity to study the teaching of writing as a process which according to the projects director Dr Ondee Ravan emphasizes a process through which a person goes to achieve a piece of writing as opposed to putting all emphasis on a finished product Institute participants spent five weeks working with consultants giving and observing demonstrations and reading and discussing research on composition and the teaching of composition They also concentrated on becoming better writers themselves And the results Participant Joanie Jones who teaches English at Macon County Junior High School said Im sitting at my conference table watching my fifthperiod eighth graders work in response groups I cant help smiling like a proud mother at their cooperative sharing and receiving of each others pieces Theyre addicted in the truest sense of the word to writingprocess style Back on August 26 the scene was much different As I told them about the writing course and asked them to freewrite about their experiences with writing they began to frown and mumble Reading their comments later 1 wondered if even the process approach could reclaim them After a week of writing in journals Jones says the students began to respond I was amazed at the change in attitude and the increase in fluency that occurred in only five days time The Southwest Georgia Writing Project SWGWP is new to Southwest Georgia and to Georgia Southwestern College Early in 1985 GSW submitted a proposal to the National Writing Pro ject housed at the University of California at Berkeley asking for matching funds and the designation of GSW as the site for the SWGWP According to project director Ravan who is also an English professor at GSW The SWGWP is dedicated to the single goal of improving student writing in the schools and colleges of Southwest Georgia and to the notion that the best way to accomplish this goal is through improving the teaching of writing in all area schools Ravan stresses that large numbers of students at every level of the educational system have been unable to write acceptably well and the traditional methods of instruction and composition have proven largely ineffective She adds that national research indicates that the teaching of process writing is one of the best ways to improve students ability to write Using the process approach says Ravan requires the student to work through a series of steps to get to a final product The first step is prewriting in which a student thinks about and analyzes the subject about which he or she will write The second step is organizing and beginning a draft and revising and rewriting that draft The last step is producing the final copy and proof reading Teachers using the process approach dont give students topics says Ravan they teach students techniques for developing their own topics which allows students to do a better job because they are writing about what they are interested in and know something about The teachers who complete the Summer Institute are charged with the duty of participating in inservice workshops sponsored by their schools and with working with fellow teachers to help develop new materials and methods for the teaching of writing Tim Yates who teaches at Dougherty County High School says After participating in this project and seeing what the process of writing can do 1 have acquired the zeal of a missionary going into a foreign country inhabited by heathens I want to share what Ive learned More than 30 applications to the 1986 Summer Institute have already been received according to Ravan but the number of participants will have to be limited to about 20 Funds essential for the continuation of the SWGWP are now being solicited James Roszelle is plant manager for the Industrial Chemicals division of American Cyanamid Company Andersonville Ga Roszelle whose company was one of the projects major contributors explains the reason for the companys interest Schools can graduate people who really know their fieldbut these people cant communicate They cant write down what they want to do and why they want to do it American Cyanamid supports the objective of the writing program at the college and Roszelle adds GSW is the only school to which his company has contributed that is not a chemical college According to Ravan the SWGWP is based on the belief that the best way to improve the teaching of writing in our schools is through teachers themselves teaching other teachers to teach writing Eventually she says we are going to see improvement in students writing This is an ideal time for a program such as this one because of statewide and national concern over students ability to read and write Patty Plotnick 2 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY FINANCE University System receives full funding for the first time The University System of Georgia has received for the first time full funding of its Formula for Excellence from the Georgia General Assembly The 1986 Georgia Legislature voted March 7 to fulfill requests for full funding made by Gov Joe Frank Harris Chancellor H Dean Propst and the Board of Regents The states budget now goes to the governor for his signature The formula was complete when the Legislature agreed to increase the major repair and rehabilitation MRR fund from lA of one percent to 3A of one percent of the replacement value of the Systems buildings putting the final piece into place to reach a goal set in 1982 by the Study Committee on Public Higher Education Finance Developed by the study committee the Formula for Excellence outlines recommendations for appropriate funding for the University System Included in the formula are recommendations for MRR funding at 3A of one percent and for three other segments of the budget listed by Chancellor Propst as priorities in his fiscal year 1987 budget request The chancellor had requested and the University System received additional funding for quality improvement for the indirect cost recoveries program which allows institutions to retain research money and for the resident instruction portion of the budget calculated by utilizing workload factors recommended in the Formula for Excellence The use of the workload factors recommended in the formula according to Propst allows institutions with growing enrollments to receive additional funds without cutting funds to those institutions which are experiencing enrollment declines Gov Harris said The members of the 1986 General Assembly can take pride in the fact that they have helped accomplish the task set before the University System and the state in 1982 That task Harris continued was to fund in full a formula designed to allow the University System to meet the challenges of the future and to continue to provide quality higher education to Georgias citizens The appropriation for MRR funds is especially needed and will be gratefully received Said Chancellor Propst of the appropriation Our aim has been achieved The support of Gov Harris Lt Gov Zell Miller and House Speaker Tom Murphy has been essential to us in achieving this aim and we are extremely grateful for the extraordinary support that has been provided us According to Propst the Systems favorable treatment indicates that the University System has an enormously effective relationship with the governor and the General Assembly Arthur M Gignilliat Jr chairman of the Board of Regents expressed his appreciation to the General Assembly the governor and the Regents staff for their efforts during the session and added I feel very strongly that this has been a landmark session for higher education and the University System The System also received 30 million in capital outlay money for an administration building at Macon Junior College 15 million a science building at Dalton Junior College 225 million a gymnasium at Georgia College 85 million a science building at Columbus College 78 million and an engineering and computer laboratory at the Georgia Institute of Technology 10 million Also included in the appropriation received by the System were more than 15 million to be used to bring DeKalb Junior College into the System effective July 1 16 million to create a Center of Excellence in Textile and Apparel Manufacturing at Southern Technical Institute which Propst described as a key element for a beleaguered industry in our state and 500000 to establish two 1 million chairs of excellence at the Medical College of Georgia and Georgia State University as part of the Eminent Scholars Program Each university will receive 250000 to fund the chairs provided that they raise the remaining 750000 each in private funds FEBMARCH 1986 3 PEOPLE Appointments approved Two assistant vice chancellors for academic affairs were appointed by the University System Board of Regents in February Dr David M Morgan 41

Presidential Young Investigators chosen this year from 883 nominees This is the third year the National Science Foundation has given the awards and the third year Georgia Tech faculty have been among the recipients Techs winner this year is working with Norfolk and Southern Railroad to examine railroad fatigue He is also researching artificial materials to be used in joint prostheses and the possibility of fatigue and fracture of those joints McDowell has also just been awarded the Teetor Educational Award by the Society of Automotive Engineers In addition he recently was presented the Young Engineer of the Year Award at the Metro Atlanta Engineers Week Awards Banquet McDowell is in his third year of teaching and research at Georgia Tech He earned his BS degree in mechanical engineering in 1979 from the University of NebraskaLincoln and a MS degree in mechanical engineering in 1981 from the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign He completed his PhD degree at Illinois in 1983 IBM exec lends expertise to SSC computer program Don Walsh a seasoned IBM executive of 30 years is adding spice to the Savannah State College School of Business Walshs interest in the city of Savannah as a possible retirement site brought him to the college under IBMs Faculty Loan Program Walsh came to teach courses in business policy and personnel management but that led to another move He negotiated an agreement between IBM and SSC administrators that netted use of more than 100000 in computers and software for Savannah State College under a threeyear jointstudy contract When the contract was negotiated SSCs and Cornell Universitys schools of business were the only schools in the country involved in such a program with IBM Under the agreement between IBM and the college the computers are for student use outside the classroom and research and publication by business school professors based on their work with the computers IBM provided the equipment and provides maintenance The computers aside Walsh brought a wealth of assets to Savannah State He brought 30 years of professional business experience that he is able to share with students he teaches During the 18monthperiod he calls a sabbatical he will share firsthand experience with students about human relations management And hes reaching out to the Savannaharea business community for support I want business leaders to go back to their employers and say give them a break Theyre a good school said Walsh Walsh said he deals routinely with business schools at big universities not small colleges Working at Savannah State is a new experience he enjoys he said Walsh said his work at Savannah State is a way of giving of himself I came from a poor family and Ive been successful I want to give something back I thought one of the best ways to do it was to be at a historically black school I hope I can help kids get excited about business interests Im here to make an impact Walsh is making an impact the schools dean Leo Parrish believes Walshs teaching and securing of the computers has enabled students to get a set of skills they can give to the community and will provide companies with graduates who have technical skills and will give faculty a chance to upgrade their skills and do research that will help in the business school accreditation effortall goals of the 1BMSSC agreement By the time our contract ends well be at our goal said Parrish The dean said he expects equal or greater success of the program as Cornell has realized Walsh has added a new dimension said Parrishs assistant Nathan Coleman Hes augmenting course offerings Hes teaching personnel with a level of authority I dont know weve had before He has experience at the highest corporate level and hes brought it here For all hes giving Walsh seeks meager return To have a kid say I enjoy your class or thank you is reward enough Walsh said Debra Ellington Wilson FEBMARCH 1986 5 TEACHING Math and science teachers get extra help Because the current education reform movement has placed special emphasis on enhancing the skills of teachers of mathematics and science the Georgia Plan for Improvement of Mathematics and Science Instruction was created as a statewide effort to upgrade the performance and training of mathematics and science teachers A program of the University System the plan is administered by the University of Georgias College of Education Under the plan institutes are conducted throughout the state in an effort to help teachers attain a higher level of competence in teaching mathematics and science at the elementary middle and secondary levels The institutes focus on strengthening teachers content background their methods of teaching and their ability to use the computer in classroom instruction Dr Alphonse Buccino dean of the UGA College of Education and coordinator of the Georgia Plan says the plan was developed in response to growing concern about the need to improve quality and performance of teachers in Georgia TTe problem facing Georgia and the nation is quality not shortages of teachers Buccino said People will always be assigned to meet classes The question is one of assuring that they are suitably qualified According to Dr Ray Cleere University System vice chancellor for academic affairs the areas of science and mathematics were singled out as the first to receive special attention because they are critical areas in which teaching skills have fallen behind in the past five years Beginning this summer Cleere said foreign language institutes will be added to the program Georgia high school teachers of foreign languages who want to improve their proficiency can travel to Spain Germany or France to study These are in addition to basic foreign language institutes already offered here in Georgia by the State Department of Education Georgia is unique in our efforts to renew interest in foreign languages in the public schools he added Dr Anne Flowers assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs said the Georgia Plan is part of the University Systems continuing effort to support Gov Joe Frank Harriss Quality Basic Education Act We recognize the problems in Georgias schools and are correcting those problems through a cooperative effort Funding for the Georgia Plan institutes is provided under Title II of the Education for Economic Security Act and all public and private Georgia higher education institutions with approved teacher education programs are eligible to compete for funding by submitting proposals Since its beginning in winter 1985 the Georgia Plan has provided funding for 36 institutes consisting of one or two fivehour credit courses which have been offered by 18 Georgia colleges or universities Dr Edward J Davis UGA professor of mathematics education and cochair of the plans proposal evaluation committee said 22 proposals for institutes were submitted for consideration for summer 86 The following institutions have received approval for funding of their summer math or science institutes Albany State College 2 West Georgia College 2 Atlanta University Armstrong State College 2 Georgia 6 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY TEACHING Southern College 2 Augusta College 2 Berry College 2 Valdosta State College 2 Fort Valley State College Georgia Southwestern College Georgia State University and Mercer University Proposals for institutes to be conducted during fall 86 through summer 87 must be submitted by June 6 Projects will be funded at a rate of 300 per participant for up to 20 participants with 6000 as the maximum funding for a single project According to Davis project proposals should address not only teacher training and implementation needs but should also examine significant research or evaluation questions Dr Russell H Yeany head of UGAs Department of Science Education and Davis cochair said Generally the project should assist teachers in both public and private schools in one or more of the following becoming current in the content of the mathematics or science subjects they teach becoming current in appropriate strategies for teaching their subjects and obtaining the necessary background and materials to incorporate instructional computing into the science and mathematics courses they teach Members of the proposal evaluation teams include representatives from public and private colleges and universities and from county school systems In conjunction with the Georgia Plan faculty members involved in teacher preparation programs of Georgias colleges and universities are invited to participate in Teacher Preparation for Quality a conference sponsored by the University System and hosted by the University of Georgias College of Education The conference will be held Monday May 19 in Athens at the State Botanical Garden from 8 am until 4 pm Focusing on the issues confronting teacher education the conference will provide an opportunity for exchange with state and national educational leaders to explore ways of improving teacher preparation Among those participating in the conference will be principals teachers students members of the Georgia General Assembly representatives from the State Department of Education superintendents local school board mem bers business representatives deans and heads of teacher education programs and representatives from the Board of Regents Two or three representatives from each institution are expected to attend the conference for which there is no charge The following people are scheduled to

hands ligate an artery with a skill not unlike a surgeons but they wield a brush rather than a scalpel They belong to the artists of the operating roommedical illustration students at the Medical College of Georgia For MCG student Caroline Meinstein medical illustration is a way to help people We help by training other people through our artwork and illustrations Students enter the program for a variety of reasons said Stenstrom Many start out as art or graphic majors and are intrigued by the medical field For Meinstein it was an interest in science combined with an artistic background I was raised on a farm and my father always talked to us about the bugs and the animals I was always fascinated by that Gory type things dont bother me they fascinate me more than they disturb me Going into an operating room for the first time can be a shaky experience for any student no matter what his or her major We put on scrubs but dont touch anything said Meinstein The first thing I saw was a hip replacement which was done on a young fellow who had a deterioration of the bone 1 was fascinated by the way these things look when they are alive You see bone in the laboratory and it looks dry and dead but in surgery you see it and there are all these pretty colors she added That may seem to some a strange description of blood muscle bone and tissue Medical illustration students have a great appreciation and awe for all the colors in the body Meinstein explained How do the students decide what to sketch during the operation The department gives us a checklist of what we have to cover during the course of our program said Meinstein We decide from there what we do The doctors at the medical college are very cooperative during the surgery Some talk to us and explain while they are operating It is our responsibility to go in with an objective just like the surgeon We decide what it is we want the viewer to gain from our illustration For instance Meinstein continued if it is an appendectomy and your audience will be surgical students you have to decide what you want them to learn from your illustrationwhere the appendix is cut where a particular artery is ligated or whatever Then you sketch Later you decide what medium will be used Is it going to be a color piece for print Or is it going to be a graphic for television These are parameters that you make yourself Sometimes a doctor will request a pen and ink that he can copy and hand out to medical students she continued He might have a particular artery that he wants shown You would concentrate on this aspect during the surgery I guess we see the parts of surgery rather than the whole operation Why do medical illustration students who are so close to medicine choose not to enter the medical field I wouldnt want the responsibility of being a doctor said Meinstein adding that observing a cadaver or an anesthetized patient does not bother her but If I saw someone in pain or saw someone that I know I couldnt help I would become very frustrated by that and I wouldnt know how to deal with it Patient education is a new area in which medical illustrators can assist doctors There are a lot of doctors who have a hard time explaining things to patients said Meinstein We can by making pictures help patients underSee page 12 v 0 S V vA Vvr braciai corran A rare breed Continued from cover tinually stress to the student The need for this extensive background in surgical illustration is reaffirmed through the growth of the programs method of staying current with the illustration demands in the

has stayed abreast of what is taking place in medical illustration How it began a premier program the Medical College of Georgias medical illustration teaching program is considered the best in the country Atlanta JournalConstitution Magazine April 15 1976 This in part is the legacy left by Orville Parkes the man who headed MCGs medical illustration program for 25 years He based the whole program on concepts that would be needed by all medical illustrators Garlington says Parkes had studied at Johns Hopkins under the man called the father of modern medical illustration Max Broedel and established at MCG the countrys premier program In 1950 Parkes gained approval of the curriculum from the Board of Regents and had the name changed to the Department of Medical Illustration During the 1960s largely as a result of Parkes efforts the Association of Medical Illustrators established minimum standards for schools of medical illustration and MCGs program became the first to receive the associations official accreditation At the same time class sizes were increasing from the single student who was admitted in 1949 to the current level of eight students per class We are the largest in class size of the six graduate medical illustration programs in the country Stenstrom says Continued I vi Cephalic vein FEBMARCH 1986 9 Continued from previous page When the program began the classroom was located in the garret of the old Newton building the perfect place for artisttypes with its dormer windows and sloping ceilings Garlington says and the old University Hospital provided clinical experience Following the completion of Talmadge Hospital in 1956 the program moved to the Dugas Building While some shuttling has taken place in the intervening years the Dugas Building remains home for the medical illustration program Ilustrators are educators To help his students he Vesalius 15141564 prepared some new teaching aids in the form of four large anatomical charts detailed enough to show the student the body structure when there was no cadaver at hand Since he was determined to show with the utmost precision only what he had confirmed by his own eyes and hands he knew that the scientific value of his product would depend on the quality of his illustration The Discoverers Daniel J Boorstin Primarily medical illustrators are educators We are presenting information for someone else to learn Garlington herself a graduate ot the MCG program relates As new educational media have developed over the years and been adapted to medical education changes have naturally arisen in our Held also For example at the first pail ot the century a medical illustrators work was primarily for the print medium and included a great deal of pathology and a loss of tissue drawings through the microscope As photographic techniques became more advanced this type of artwork dropped oft says Garlington Our next big change was in audiovisual aids mainly slides With these a lecturers talk could be illustrated or a student could use selfinstruction with lessons that could be seen and heard at the student s convenience Television has also had an impact on the field She does not see the changes in educational media threatening the work of the medical illustrator On the contrary usually this type of change ends up creating more opportunities more time to do conceptual work she says Stenstrom agrees and sees the emergence of the computer as the vehicle currently changing and challenging the field We are getting into computer typesetting and computer graphics This will allow us to do charts slides and graphs more effectively and tree up more time to spend on surgical drawings he says Time to spend on surgical drawings X i 10 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY a V T V and other projects is a necessity for the faculty members as well as the students All three medical illustration faculty professors Stenstrom Garlington and David Mascaro have illustrated books over the years Stenstrom most recently illustrated the Atlas of the Peripheral Retina with Dr Frank Bell Garlington illustrated Hie Hand Examination and Diagnosis for the American Society for Surgery of the Hand and Mascaro has illustrated Human Anatomy for the CV Mosby Co In addition all have done work for many other publications and have given presentations to state regional and national groups With only six graduate level programs in the country the community of medical illustrators is a small one Of the 122 MCG graduates 110 are in the field or in a related profession Stenstrom says There are only eight or ten that we have lost track of We stay interested in our graduates and their work after they graduate This concern for the students after graduation is mirrored by the former students in the ways they stay in touch with MCG They give feedback to the program on what should be kept and what improved upon they contribute information about new advances in the field They also show a willingness to return to MCG as invited lecturers A look at the list of guest lecturers in the Medical Illustration SelfStudy of 1984 reveals that several of the lecturers are graduates of the program Besides Garlington and Mascaro Karen Waldo chief of medical illustration services at MCG Lewis Henley and Milton Burroughs medicaldental illustrators at MCG are graduates of the MCG medical

meeting endorsed a University System educational program on Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome designed to focus on present knowledge of the disease and on development of strategies to inform the University System community of the nature and implications of the disease Lack of comprehensive understanding of the cause of AIDS and the absence of an effective cure have created alarm and anxiety among the general population and especially among people in the highrisk categories Because at present the most effective response for colleges and universities to the AIDS issue is education the Board proposed the following that the University System estab lish an educational program on AIDS in which each unit in the System participates in cooperation with the office of the vice chancellor for student services and the ad hoc committee on health services assisting institutions on the development of programs that the presidents at all System institutions make public their support for the AIDS program that a highlevel committee be formed on each campus to develop and implement planned programs for AIDS and that each institution conduct oncampus information programs and provide materials on the nature and implications of the disease Special seminars or workshops should be used where health education courses do not exist or are unsuitable for this purpose 158 Regents Opportunity Grants awarded GSU center established Georgia State University has announced the establishment of an International Center for Entrepreneurship The center which is being established to promote and support the growth of entrepreneurship is expected to focus attention on the concept of entrepreneurship and bring students faculty and the general public a deeper appreciation for entrepreneurship The center expects to have an active interface with entrepreneurs across America and with countries who are willing to join with the center to provide development of case studies and funding of entrepreneurial activities to do academic research and to share their experience with students and faculty The center is also intended to play a key role in seeking identifying and developing entrepreneurial talent in anticipation that these individuals will utilize their skills through the creation of entrepreneurial activities GSU has also changed the name of its Economic Forecasting Project to the Economic Forecasting Center in order to describe more accurately its activities and expanded functions since its inception in 1974 The center which was established by and is still directed by Dr Donald Ratajczak creates forecasts of the national regional and local economies serves as a focal point for information and analysis on economic problems provides data develops procedures and creates econometric descriptions of the economic system of the United States the Southeast Georgia and Atlanta provides relevant economic data to sponsors and serves as a laboratory of research on forecasting and related topics In addition to its many other functions the center also provides pertinent economic information to the business community and conducts research leading to development of both methods of analysis and new descriptions of the economic future Regents Opportunity Grants awarded to University System students for the 1986 winter quarter totaled 158 Initiated in 1978 the grant program is designed to increase the enrollment of minority students in graduate and professional programs which have traditionally low enrollment of minority students The number of grants allocated by the Regents to each institution is based on the objectives and needs of the institu tions and the System and the funds are disbursed quarterly The institutions select recipients who must meet academic requirements set by the awarding institutions and must be fulltime students In the 86 winter quarter grants were awarded to 142 black students 14 white students and 2 students

by the Southern Regional Education Board SREB on its study of Georgias need for additional engineering education indicates that only a small percentage of Georgia students are not being served by the Georgia Institute of Technologys engineering program SREB vicepresident and director of research Dr Dave Spence told the Board of Regents in March that the study also indicates that at present Georgia Tech is underfunded in relation to the engineering colleges with which it should be competing In his presentation of the findings Spence said the study indicates that Georgias public schools are not producing many students prepared to pursue an engineering education and that in tact only a small pool of 286 students is not being served by Georgia Techs program Commissioned in August 1985 the study was conducted at the suggestion of Board of Regents Chairman Arthur M Gignilliat Jr of Savannah The SREB was asked to provide additional information about the engineering education needs of Georgia students and industry and specifically to ascertain the number of students whose needs are not being served by Georgia Tech the only public institution in Georgia offering bachelors and graduate degrees in engineering Using Scholastic Aptitute Test SAT scores high school grade point averages and information provided by the College Entrance Examination Board for 198485 to determine students qualifications the study committee determined that of the 1315 Georgia students who were interested in engineering and engineering technology had grade point averages of at least 30 and scored 550 or above on the math portion of the SAT and scored 950 on the combined SAT 1029 of the most qualified were offered admission at Georgia Tech leaving 286 students without the option of beginning their study at a public college in Georgia with a full undergraduate engineering program The report went further to say that the supply and demand for engineers and engineering technologists in Georgia has achieved a rough balance due partly to the industrys use of engineering technologists as engineers and vice versa This flexibility in utililization of engineers and technologists has created a selfadjusting balance which according to the report is valuable to the industry Spence said that industries in Georgia would employ additional numbers of engineers if available however the level of jobs they would fill probably would not utilize their skills and knowledge to the extent expected by these engineers In reference to underfunding at Georgia Tech Spence said that in order to maintain and strengthen its role as a leader in engineering education and research Georgia Tech needs additional funding More money is also needed for Southern Technical Institute and for other engineering technology programs in the state Several options for increasing engineering education opportunities were given in the SREB report but only the ones whose implementation would fall within the public sector were included The possibilities of a second engineering school and an expanded Twoplus program received the most attention Under the Twoplus program students would attend one of the University Systems junior or senior colleges for two years then transfer to Georgia Tech for the remaining years Those graduating from the program would receive bachelors degrees in engineering from Tech however according to officials students starting the program at other institutions could not be guaranteed admissions to Tech after completion of the first part of the program The SREB study cited advantages and disadvantages of each alternative but the point central to the discussion according to the report was whether there are sufficient annual numbers of high school graduates prepared to begin the study of engineering even if this study occurs at an institution with entry standards lower than those at Georgia Tech Spence emphasized that undergraduate admissions standards at Tech are comparable to requirements for major public engineering colleges in the United States thus making Tech a selective but not elitist institution in national terms After hearing and reviewing the SREB report the Board of Regents agreed to send the findings of the study to its education committee for further evaluation Liz Russell MARCHAPRIL 1986 3 BOARD ACTION Employee policies changed The Board of Regents adopted an addition to its policy concerning employment of faculty at University System institutions and also approved a revision concerning work week and overtime of nonexempt employees of the University System of Georgia at the March meeting Section 8031201 of the Policy Manual now reads as follows An employment application form shall be completed by each person formally applying for a faculty position in an institution of the University System The application must be kept on file at the institution concerned An applicant will be ineligible for employment if he or she has been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude unless the applicant has been pardoned as provided by law The classified personnel policies of the Board state that applicants who have been convicted of a crime involving moral turpitude unless pardoned shall be disqualified for employment A similar policy for faculty personnel of the System was recommended by the education committee of the Board The Board also authorized the changing of the numbering of its policy on Suspension for Violation of State or Federal Laws to section 8031202 to make room for the added section With respect to work week and overtime of nonexempt employees the Board approved a revision to the classified employee policy found in the Business Procedures Manual Volume 3A Section IIL now reads as follows with the revision in italics Institutions of the System shall establish a standard work week of forty hours and abide by the provisions of the Fair Labor Standards Act The distribution of hours throughout the week shall be a matter of scheduling left to the individual institution Overtime work shall be authorized for employees who are not exempt from the provisions of the Fair Labor Stan dards Act only when the work is deemed necessary by the President or designated representative Payment for overtime work will be made in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act In lieu of payment for approved overtime work compensatory time may be granted at the rate of one and onehalf hours of compensatory time for each hour of overtime work Approved compensatory time is subject to a maximum accumulation of 60 hours and must be expended by the end of the succeeding calendar quarter This policy amendment permits institutions in the University System to grant compensatory time with certain restrictions Deferred comp plan decision reaffirmed The Board reaffirmed action taken in September 1985 regarding the deferred compensation plan offered by the First Federal Savings and Loan Association of Warner Robbins The Regents action in September was to request that the Internal Revenue Service rule that System employees who enrolled in the deferred compensation plan which was not authorized by the Board would not incur a tax liability as a result of the termination of the plan Health insurance rates increased A 20 percent increase in both the employer and the employee contribution rates to the University System of Georgia Employee Health benefit plan was authorized by the Board of Regents in March Recommendation for the increase which is scheduled to take effect on May 1 was made based upon the fact that reserves have been depleted constantly over the past five months with the greatest decline occurring in the past two months The fiscal year 1987 state appropriation includes the provision fora 15 percent increase for System funding for health benefits beginning July 1 Of the four health benefit plans in operation in the System the University System plan is the largest Experience in the other three plans has not been as severe making a lesser increase required for them The 15 percent increase in state funding will permit funding a 20 percent increase in the larger plan while providing for lesser increases in the smaller plans Beginning May 1 1986 the monthly rates for the University System plan will be as follows CURRENT RATE RATE EFFECTIVE MAY 11986 Employee only Employer Rate 4820 Employee Rate 1610 Employer Rate 5790 Employee Rate 1930 Employee with dependents 11730 3940 14070 4730 Retiree Medicare eligible 1920 640 2300 770 Retiree with all dependents

taken at the April 1985 and January 1986 meetings concerning land transactions with Glynn County and the city of Brunswick were rescinded and the Board conveyed 95 acres on the Brunswick Junior College campus to the Glynn County Board of Education The 95 acres will be used for the site of a sports stadium and the Board of Education will deliver 1 million from a recentlyapproved bond issue to the Regents when the transfer is complete The Regents adopted a resolution as required by the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission stating that the Regents approve plans and specifications of the rehabilitation of the Miller ScienceTabor Agricultural Complex at Fort Valley State College The Board tabled a proposal to sell five acres of land in Bartow County to the county Masters degree authorized Savannah State College received authorization from the Board of Regents in March to begin offering a master of public administration degree in the fall quarter of 1986 subject to funding of the program Growth of the master of business administration program which originated from a program exchange with Armstrong State College in 1979 indicated that additional graduate programs were necessary to meet the educational needs ot the local and regional population The MRA should help meet those needs Georgia Colleges request to close the Department of Consumer and Family Studies in the School of Arts and Sciences was also approved in March Effective spring quarter 1986 the department will be phased out due principally to declining enrollments and pressing needs for additional resources in other growing programs Major programs in the department with the exception of home economics education will be discontinued Georgia State University has temporarily deactivated four majors in the College ot Educations Department of Vocational and Career Development The bachelor of science in education and the master of business education majors in bookkeeping and

Board The Board of Regents indicated its approval in principle of the use of credit cards in the collection of money owed to System institutions and other operating units of the System Because current statutes prohibit the use of credit cards in collections of state government the Board authorized its treasurer to draw up legislation to be proposed during the 1987 session of the General Assembly to allow such use of credit cards The action of the Board would not mandate the use of credit cards but would indicate support of permissive legislation Each institution would probably be allowed to determine the extent to which credit card use would benefit its operation Officers reelected Henry G Neal was reelected executive secretary of the Board and Jacob H Wamsley was reelected treasurer by the Board of Regents in March The Boards policies call for the election of those offices each March Both men will begin their new oneyear terms on July 1 Board policy also calls for the election of the executive vice chancellor in March but that position is currently vacant DeKalb faculty appointments approved The Board approved the appointments of 177 faculty members at DeKalb Community College as employees of the University System effective July 1 provided that the community college becomes a unit of the University System as expected So Techs SGA named best Southern Technical Institutes Student Government Association has been recognized as having the best format in the 33institution University System according to the Student Advisory Council to the Board of Regents Senior David Key is president of Southern Techs Student Government Association which was cited as having done an outstanding job of representing Southern Tech as well as the University System of Georgia The work done by Mr David Key has been recognized by student leaders deans and other student service personnel Key an electrical engineering major graduating in June said he and SGA Vice President Larry Manning were successful during their past year of student government leadership because we did things that hadnt been done My goal was to have power in numbers and for others in SGA to take on a leadership role Key said in describing his style of student government I wanted a room full of SGA presidents Key said his power force was those 20 or so students who were made honorary members of SGA by appointment so they could have a chance to be involved but didnt have to be elected An important aspect of Keys leadership abilities was stressing the need for a good attitude and a team spirit of

the students to design and build an apparatus that could launch a projectile at a small target under precise conditions Another event Name that Organism asked the student to identify a variety of plants and animals and answer questions about them Olympiad participants were picked by their own teachers and in some cases the schools held their own miniolympiad as part of selecting a team Scores were kept for each school and student At the end of the competition the school with the highest point total received a championship trophy while the student with the highest score in each event received a medal and a chance to participate in the statewide competition later this spring The state winners will advance to the national science Olympiad in Michigan This was the first year that Georgia participated in the Science Olympiad The Olympiad is a nonprofit program designed to improve the quality of science education and increase student interest in science by providing recognition for achievements by both students and teachers According to Pam Rhyne and Ralph Rascati Kennesaw College professors and coordinators of the regional competition the national impact has been great The pride generated by the Science Olympiad program has boosted the visibility of science programs and has also increased school enrollment MARCHAPR1L 1986 7 UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA MEMBERS OF THE

of the new Farm and Community Life Center when the building is completed this fall The center will be the setting for conferences workshops and practical demonstrations on issues facing farmers and agricultural communities according to Dr Linda Buntin director of the center The building will house the centers administrative offices the University of Georgias Central District Extension Service offices Fort Valley State Colleges Extension Program offices and the colleges Department of Continuing Education By drawing from these resources the Farm and Community Life Center will provide a public service based on Fort Valley State Colleges programs in research education and service Buntin added Construction of the Farm and Community Life Center located on the west campus on the corner of Memorial and State College Drive began in November 1984 and will cost 34 million Construction of the center was approved by the Board of Regents as a segment of the University Systems 1978 desegregation plan The center will be a twostory building with multiple functions The first floor will be occupied by three seminar rooms each with a seating capacity of 100 These seminar rooms can also be converted into one large room with a seating capacity of 300 The room will be utilized as a dining room or reception room and will have a demonstration kitchen There will also be three conference rooms each with a seating capacity of 75 According to Buntin The conference rooms will be available for use by many groups such as agricultural commodities associations professional societies civic organizations and academic institutions Agricultural commodities associations include such groups as the Georgia Peach Council the Georgia Poultry Federation and the Georgia Pecan Growers Association and professional societies include such organizations as the Georgia Entomology Society and the Georgia Agronomy Society The south end of the building will house a multimedia center and a snack bar and at the north end there will be an auditorium seating 650 The lobby will be utilized as a gallery for such events as art shows added Buntin Surrounding cities will benefit through visitors use of support services The second floor of the center will house the offices for the Cooperative Extension Program the Department of Continuing Education and the UGA District Extension Service This floor will provide two conference rooms each seating 25 people and a projector booth for the auditorium below Buntins job as director of the center has many aspects including setting up conferences and programs in order to use the center to its greatest potential She has worked with the Division of Entomology in the State Department of Agriculture to bring numerous inservice training programs and state certification testing programs to the center In service training for commercial pesticide applicators inservice training for department of agriculture inspectors for nurseries and for pest control are just a few programs that Buntin said would be held at the center The central locality of the center and the new Fall Line Freeway will make us an alternative to Atlanta for programs like state testing Buntin explained The Fall Line Freeway will connect Columbus with Augusta and will run on the north side above the campus of Fort Valley State Buntin is hoping the freeway will not only provide easier access to the center but attract support services closer to Fort Valley State The Cooperative Extension Service an outreach program that teaches the local farmers about agricultural advancements home economics and food and nutrition will also provide programs for the center Buntin is setting up such a program with the neighboring city of Perry to organize a mock livestock auction for the Peach County area The auction according to Buntin will help teach the local farmers how to use an auction to their advantage Buntin said a demonstration auction is planned for the farmers to participate in and familiarize themselves with the language and the procedures of a real auction Buntin and Fort Valley State College are confident that such services will produce positive results The services offered by the center will not only introduce Fort Valley State to more people in Georgia and surrounding states but may help raise farm productivity and help economically Buntin explained further that Fort Valley State College and local farmers will not be the only beneficiaries The surrounding cities of Byron Perry and Warner Robins will also see benefits through the visitors use of support services in these cities she explained Within a sevenyear period Buntin believes The center will receive enough exposure to facilitate three conferences a week and will be selfsupportive through its own revenues which will also be used to purchase new equipment to keep the center updated Ken Panks 4 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY FINANCE V V 4 h FY 87

both Europe and Asia have visited the collection in recent years Gorman says noting that a scholar from Japan is expected to visit Milledgeville this summer to study the prized collection Located in the west wing on the second floor of the library the Flannery OConnor Memorial Room is decorated with furniture from OConnors estate and houses the 3600 original manuscripts and drafts of her short stories which make up the bulk of the collection The collection also includes 712 books from her personal library 95 handwritten notes letters and Christmas cards a number of personal and family photographs and her christening gown Her writing dates back to her years at Peabody Public High School While attending regular classes there she focused her energy on writing poetry and prose drawing cartoons and painting After graduation OConnor enrolled in the English Department at Georgia College then known as Georgia State College for Women and continued writing During her student years at the college she became the art editor of the school newspaper the editor of the literary quarterly and the features editor of her senior yearbook She graduated in 1945 with a degree in social science Shortly thereafter OConnor moved to New York where she resided for several years She returned to Milledgeville after being hospitalized in Atlanta for her first major attack of lupus OConnor remained at Andalusia farm near Milledgeville until her death in 1964 The Flannery OConnor Memorial Room right is decorated with furniture from the writers estate 8 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY According to Georgia College English professor and OConnor scholar Dr Sarah Gordon the last 12 or so years of her life OConnor was very ill as a result of medication for lupus and she used crutches She did not want to talk about her illness but she was aware of the seriousness of it Despite her illness OConnor continued writing on a daily basis routinely in morning hours and attended mass every day that she possibly could She was a devout catholic born into one of the oldest catholic families in the South says Gordon Gordon who has been studying OConnor for more than 20 years and who came to Georgia College in 1966 expressly to study the writer says that the letters in the collection reveal quite a bit about OConnors personal side She says that the letters which reveal OConnors very wonderful sense of humor and her strong faith are probably the most popular pieces in the collection However Gordon notes I am most interested in the Wise Blood manuscripts seeing what she wrote discarded and kept is most fascinating Betty Boyd Love a GSWC classmate and longtime friend of OConnor mostly through correspondence and random visitswrites that OConnor was widely misunderstood Completely aside from her formidable talent Flannery OConnor was a genuinely unusual individual and I was fond of her She knew who she was and was neither overpleased nor disturbed by either She had a straighton view of the world but she gave it a very slight twist that produced a unique vision of realitya reality that probed the mystery behind the manners Love wrote in Recollections of Flannery OConnor in the 1985 edition of The Flannery OConnor Bulletin which is edited by Gordon and published by Georgia College The Georgia College library began establishing the Flannery OConnor collection in 1946 The early collection consisted of fiction pieces from OConnors high school and college days As her stories appeared in print copies were added to the collection along with newspaper interviews and articles According to Dr Janice C Fennell director of libraries at Georgia College the faculty and alumni were instrumen tal in bringing the collection which was sought by many other institutions to Georgia College They worked diligently and were able to get the rest of her works and items after OConnors death Fennell who stresses that all of the works in the collection are very valuable and important says that Wise Blood OConnors first novel and A Good Man is Hard to Find a collection of short stories are two of the more popular works in the collection The volumes in the collection reflect her personal and professional interests as well as the contemporary catholic and Southern milieu in which she lived Because of the fragility of the manuscripts in the collection most of which were written on paper that does not age well the room and collection must be restricted to scholars and graduate students who according to Gorman are doing serious study Fennell and the library staff are at present working with public and private consultants on preservation and conservation of the Flannery OConnor collection and the rest of the librarys special collections which include rare manuscripts invaluable archival material memorabilia and original source materials from the late Southern historian James C Bonner and other central Georgians To date according to Fennell 50200 in the form of a grant has been received to aid in the preservation The gift which was made to the Georgia College Foundation by an unnamed independent charitable trust will assist in efforts to renovate the Special Collections area and provide proper storage of the historical educational and geneological materials owned by the college Other funding is also being sought Though actual handling of the

THE SYSTEM SUMMARY BOARD ACTION Armstrong reorganization plan approved for next year The Board of Regents in April gave Armstrong State College authorization to initiate an administrative reorganization plan for the institution effective July 1 1987 The reorganization plan which has been evolving over the past three years with the help of the faculty staff and administration has been integrated into a fiveyear plan Principle objectives of the reorganization are as follows 1 to improve the ability of Armstrong State College to recruit and retain qualified students and to foster in those students a positive attitude toward college 2 to strengthen the capabilities of the college to raise friends and funds in support of its mission 3 to stress to all constituencies of the college the importance of the liberal arts and sciences in the preparation of teachers and to promote an indepth understanding by these constituencies of the professional needs of teachers 4 to give special focus to the relationships between the health sciences and physical education and to emphasize the concept of lifelong health and wellness 5 to direct additional attention to the needs of minority students and faculty and 6 to reduce the administrative budget of the college Armstrong officials expect that the plan will provide approximately 150000 in funds available for allocation to other programs The essential features of the reorganization are as follows 1 The Department of Elementary Education and the Department of Secondary Education within the School of Education will be included with the departments in the Schools of Arts and Sciences in a unit to be named the School of Arts and Sciences and Education The Department of Physical Edu cation and the health science program will be merged into a new Department of Health Science Physical Education and Recreation within the School of Health Professions 2 The salary support for the position of dean of instruction will be reallocated to a new unit of enrollment services and will also comprise other major academic functions having to do with serving the special needs of students 3 The position and office of dean of community services is to be eliminated and the incumbent dean reassigned to the position of registrar and director of special programs 4 The Department of Developmental Studies will report to the associate vicepresident associate dean of faculty and director of enrollment services and will have no department head 5 An office of minority affairs is to be established in order to bring together various functions associated with minority student recruitment and advisement and to promote minority faculty recruitment 6 The office of student affairs and development is to be reorganized to include college communications with financial aid and veteran affairs being transferred to the office of enrollment services 7 The position of director of housing and the position of placement counselor will be combined into the position of director of placement and housing Organizational structure okd for DeKalb An organizational structure for DeKalb Community College was approved by the Board of Regents at the April meeting The structure will be effective when the junior college becomes part of the University System Vet school admissions cut The number of new entrants in the firstyear class in the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Georgia will be reduced from 86 to 80 beginning in the fall of 1987 Because the quantity and quality of the applicant pool is declining the veterinary college faculty voted to reduce the entering class size rather than accept marginally qualified applicants into the program The faculty also voted to allow up to 10 of the positions in the entering class to be residents of any state so that UG A can strengthen its program with qualified outofstate students UGA Tech trust funds created Two University System institutions received authorization by the Board of Regents in April to execute declarations of trust under which trust funds will be created The Georgia Institute of Technology was authorized to create the Mrs Laurie Stubbs Johns Scholarship Fund A partial distribution in the amount of 45000 has already been received from the estate Georgia Tech officials plan to use the income to provide scholarships to worthy fulltime students with preference given to residents of DeKalb County The Board also gave authorization to the University of Georgia to create the Byron F Snyder Trust Under the terms of the

Dalton Junior College according to the director of Continuing Education Patricia G Fornash And shes quick to add that refunds are seldom needed In fact she says in the community surrounding Dalton there is a high demand for the unique courses offered under continuing educations professional development program Most University System institutions have continuing education divisions that offer seminars and courses under their professional development programs but DJC is unusual in the sense that the majority of the courses in its professional development program are offered and designed in cooperation with the industries in Dalton and the surrounding areas Some of the most popular most highlydemanded courses involve the production of carpet The city of Dalton takes pride in being known as the carpet capitol of the world and in keeping with that the continuing education division does all that it can to help promote the citys main industry In Dalton if its not carpet its something directly related says Fornash Once or twice a year the division sponsors a special twoday seminar for the carpet industry Cost Calculation as it is called has been known to attract participants from

DJC discusses training needs with Glenda Hardin of J J industries one of more than 200 carpet manufacturers in the Dalton area Dalton Continued from cover United States and from as far away as Canada and Scotland Since it began according to Fornash people from eight different countries have traveled to Dalton to attend the course Of all the programs it has been the most successful It probably wouldnt be anywhere else she adds but because we are the carpet capitol of the world it is successful here Professional development is one of five different programs under the continuing education program at DJC In the past conferences seminars and a variety of shortterm courses eg ergonomics successful supervision effective interviewing skills and investment opportunities have been offered under professional development But foremost the division is known for its Center for Carpet Industry Training The Center for Carpet Industry Training presents seminars and conferences on such topics as Cost Justification and Control of Capital Expenditures for Carpet Operations which entails planning structure evaluation techniques control systems and case studies of the industry Cost Estimation and Control of Carpet and Yarn Operations which involves spinning tufting dyeing and carpet finishing and Basics of Carpet Manufacturing Technology which deals with fiber basics carpet backing tufting and weaving and dyeing and finishing The division is responsive to the needs and wants of the industry Whether companies are interested in getting employees away from the work site for training or prefer inhouse programs the center works with them You might say we give the carpet industry the red carpet treatment says Jim Reece coordinator for professional development Often companies send their employees to the facilities at DJC for training Sometimes rather than conducting the training well merely provide the training facility and other logistical support Reece said The American Association of Textile Colorists and Chemists is typical of a number of carpet associations and groups that conduct training conferences and seminars in our facility Occasionally he says the center serves as a resource center by directing a company to another training institution for specialized training Over the years Reece says we have found that the good will generated from such cooperation helps us when we offer our own training programs Obviously were proud of our close association with the carpet industry adds Reece who came directly from the carpet industry when he joined the DJC staff four years ago Being knowledgeable about the carpet business and maintaining close contact with people in the industry gives us an advantage when planning but states Reece diversity in programming is what really accounts for our success For example we might determine a training need for Ergonomics for the Carpet Industry which we will offer in seminar format in our conference facility but a week later the demand may be for a workshop like Microcomputer Applications for Carpet Managers and well move our operation to the VoTech computer lab Then well get a call from a carpet company that will want us to conduct CoalFired Boiler Training in their plant Ed Cooper occupational training coordinator is also active in meeting the training needs of industry Providing programs such as Coal Fire Boiler Training First Aid and Fork Lift Maintenance Cooper often arranges for an instructor to conduct the requested training at the plant location As yet another step in keeping their high quality programs abreast of industry needs a new IBM computer lab has been installed in the facilities at Dalton Its something new and different and the industry uses it tremendously says Fornash Employees come in and learn to use the IBM computers so that they can take the knowl 6 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY it Pat Fornash director of continuing education looks on as carpet is tufted Carpet terms creel krel A frame for holding spools in a spinning machine tuft tuft A short cluster of elongated strands as of yarn attached at the base spin spin To make thread or yam by drawing out and twisting fibers weave wev To construct by interlacing or interweaving the materials or components of edge back to their work sites and either begin using or become more efficient with their IBMs or compatibles The center also addresses topical concerns Airline hijacking is a recent example Because the carpet industry does so much trade with and travels to foreign companies the center recently offered a course in Traveling in a Troubled World The course was designed primarily for company presidents executives and others in the industry who travel and do business abroad Participants learned how best to avoid such crises and how if faced with terrorism to deal with it The continuing education division serves an average of 3500 individuals per quarter and has generated over 300000 this year Fornash says that this is a sizeable number and amount considering the population of the city the college and the community The center also offers programs in personal growth eg swimming tennis Flemish and survival camp which are only a few of more than 200 courses offered to residents of Gordon Murray Whitfield and other surrounding counties One might wonder how a continuing education division could have so many things going simultaneously while continuing to guarantee quality and satisfaction Staff members believe in working hard to meet the needs of the community and the carpet industry What payoff does DJC get for the service The Division of Continuing Education sees all community members and carpet industry employees as prospective clients for the college says Fornash Through our programs more people become aware of and attend Dalton Junior College Lizz Russell MAYJUNE 1986 7 BUILDINGS FINANCE Regents OK land sales lease agreements budget increases for System facilities The Board of Regents at its

Latin American country had no trained respiratory therapists even though more than 20 percent of its population suffers from chronic respiratory diseases and about 25 percent of its hospital admissions are due to respiratory disorders A volcanic eruption 23 years earlier left ash lingering in the central valley area for three years and many Costa Ricans still have diseases from inhaling the ash In 1982 Project Hope and members of the Medical College of Georgias School of Allied Health Sciences took on the problem And today thanks largely to them Costa Rica has the first school for respiratory therapists outside North America Project Hope a nonprofit organization dedicated to health care education contacted MCGs Richard Beckham in 1982 with plans to initiate a school of respiratory therapy in Costa Rica Beckham professor and chairman of respiratory therapy at MCG worked with Project Hope to develop a curriculum goals standards and even lesson plans The final product was a modification of the respiratory therapy program at MCG The school itself became a part of the University of Costa Rica And the staff consists of Project Hope fellows including MCGs Beckham and Frank Dennison and Laura Hooker both respiratory therapy instructors who serve on a rotating basis Plans also call for bringing several of the top students from the first class to MCG for training These students then will return to Costa Rica to teach respiratory therapy Forty percent of the next class will be from neighboring Latin American countries The newlytrained respiratory therapists in Costa Rica will face a number of problems Most hospitals are behind technologically and lack adequate equipment The biggest and oldest hospital in Central America has large wards with 20 people in a room Hooker said Outdated and unreliable ventilators are used she added They wash and reuse disposable equipment such as suction catheters But they cant help it Theyre doing the best they can with the resources theyve got Again help is on the way Major American medical suppliers have donated equipment for the respiratory therapists to use The situation has to get better she said It could not get much worse Hooker flew to San Jose in March 1985 to get things started April was the target date for classes to begin but soon after her arrival Hooker realized that the proposed starting date would be almost impossible to meet What takes one day to accomplish in the United States takes about two weeks in Costa Rica she said Some Costa Ricans live by the philosophy dont do something today if you can do it tomorrow Hooker would arrive at scheduled meetings on time only to wait several hours for everyone to get there It was frustrating but I couldnt challenge the Costa Rican way of life I was in their country Hooker said Problems importing educational materials and supplies also delayed classes In September Frank Dennison faced 16 eager nurses who wanted to become certified respiratory therapists Only two spoke English which forced Dennison to use some imaginative teaching techniques I used a lot of sign language and visual aids and tried to break data down to simplest terms he said Even though the nurses were not as sophisticated as those in this country they were motivated worked hard and will make excellent respiratory therapists The first group of students graduated after only one year of intense study because they were registered nurses with experience as health care providers Plans call for increasing the course length to two years Catherine Boardman APPOINTMENTS

Brown now serves as acting chairman of nursing and health and as assistant professor of nursing at Gordon Junior College JUNEJULY 1986 3 PHYSICAL THERAPY GSU Physical Therapy Stands Strong When it comes to physical therapy Georgia State University has so to speak no weaknesses That was the finding of a threemember accreditation team that surveyed every facet of GSUs Department of Physical Therapy At the end of the threeday survey the team gathered with GSU administrators to share their findings on the programs strengths and weaknesses More than 10 strengths were reported But when it came time for the expected constructive criticism the chairman of the survey team stood up looked at his anxious audience and said that he and his colleagues could find no flaws with GSUs PT program No one could have been more pleased with that finding than Dr Marylou Barnes the chairman of the department I have never heard of that happening at any other school of physical therapy and I am a survey visitor myself she said Thats a most unusual and exciting kind of thing What makes GSUs PT program so strong A topnotch faculty An outstanding curriculum Innovative research The high caliber of students Yes In any given year approximately 10 people apply for every one student opening in GSUs PT program Of the 200 to 400 applicants each year only 36 are accepted after undergoing the departments sophisticated admissions process The collective gradepoint average for applicants is 35 The academic years class of PT students received 56 honors and awards ranging from the Deans List to Whos Who in American Colleges and Universities In addition Barnes was recently informed that every member of the class of 1985 passed the state licensing exams I believe this is the first time that has ever happened with GSU students she said GSUs PT program also has attracted many excellent minority students through its highly successful minority recruitment and retention program With a 310000 federal grant to extend it to three other departments in the College of Health Sciences the program is the longestrunning continually funded minority recruitment project in the nation The growing number of top students looking at physical therapy as a career shouldnt be surprising physical therapy is one of the fastest growing fields in the healthcare profession In fact the US Department of Labor reports that the number of physical therapists needed in the United States will increase 42 percent to 83000 by 1995 Barnes attributes the growing need for therapists to several factors including the fitness craze the fact that people are living longer and a growing interest in physical therapy as a method to prevent disabling illnesses But just what is physical therapy Barnes supplied a modified version of the American Physical Therapy Associations official definition Physical therapy is the promotion of optimal health through the prevention identification correction or alleviation of acute or prolonged movement dysfunction But physical therapists also are interested in normal movement and the use of a kind of human preventive maintenance to keep it that way Older people can be helped to maintain their flexibility circulatory and aerobic conditioning through therapy A physical therapist for example might correct an improper walk that could cause foot pain or bad posture that could eventually lead to back problems Prevention is looking at the body and the way it is used with an eye to future problems that might be created because of improper movement Barnes said When a patient comes to me with a problem I do not just alleviate the pain of the moment but I also look at the future ramifications of that pain The litness craze has created another need for physical therapy as new runners body builders and jazzercizers pull muscles tear ligaments and sprain ankles Sports medicine and prevention is just one of the specializations that has 4 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY developed as a result of the tremendous explosion in technology and research for and about the human body There is so much to know now that it is impossible to consume it all in four years Barnes said Apparently the American Physical Therapy Association APTA agrees It has recommended that by 1990 a graduate degree be required for certification effectively raising entrylevel status up to the masters degree level Right now GSU operates much the same as other PT programs combining two years of liberal arts courses with a twoyear physical therapy concentration that includes clinical training GSU also offers advanced masters degree programs in such specialties as sports PT and orthopedic PT The department also provides physical therapy courses for a management in health sciences masters degree offered through the College of Health Sciences There are 58 clinics in the Atlanta area including hospitals rehabilitation centers and private practices where students can conduct their clinical training GSU also has 127 contracts with clinics throughout the country where students go for threemonth internships at the end of the program To keep their skills sharp Barnes said the departments faculty also works in clinics whenever possible It is the facultywith its wide range of expertisethat is the PT departments greatest strength Barnes said The trend toward specialization has stretched the boundaries of physical therapy to include such areas as neurology pulmonary therapy musculoskeletal therapy and sports medicine GSU has responded by developing expertise in most specialty areas According to Barnes every major area of specialization recognized by the American Board of Physical Therapy Specialists is wellrepresented on the GSU faculty In fact the PT departments Scott Irwin holds the first board certificate ever awarded in the United States His expertise is in cardiovascular physical therapy Barnes who is chair of the APTAs National Section on Neurology said that every member of the faculty is involved either as a committee chairman or an officer in the national section on their area of expertise Another facet that sets GSUs PT faculty apart is that almost every member holds a national APTA office or chairs a significant committee or task force of that association And the one member who doesnt is treasurer of the Georgia chapter of the APTA Such representation is unusually high for any physical therapy department Barnes said Also unusually high is the percentage of faculty with PhDs By this fall 88 percent of the fulltime PT faculty will hold doctoral degrees Of the physical therapy textbooks that are widely used throughout the United States five were written by the GSU faculty and two have been translated into Japanese A research project now being conducted to test the effectiveness of a painsuppression device could make GSUs PT department a center of attention because great claims currently are being made by physicians and therapists for the equipment we are testing Barnes said If the PT department finds that the device does indeed create changes in brain waves and blood chemistry that can suppress pain GSU could become the national testing center for the manufacturers The manufacturers are supporting 12 projects throughout the United States and they told us that we stand the greatest chance of producing irrefutable evidence pro or con because of the sophistication of the project Barnes said Reflecting the departments strong international ties PT faculty members have traveled in the past few years to China Kenya India Brazil the Soviet Union and a number of European nations to provide professional advisement to set up exchange programs and to offer continuing education courses Because of the range of specialties covered by the department demand is high for the PT faculty to teach continuing education courses in the United States as well In fact Barnes said it is not unusual for the faculty to teach continuing education courses in 10 or more states in a given year I think the fact that people in other states so often request our faculty to teach speaks quite highly of them Barnes said There is no doubt in my mind that our faculty is the number one strength of our program and they also bring recognition to GSU Im obviously very proud of them Cheryl Helden JUNEJULY 1986 5 TEACHER EDUCATION Teacher Education Programs Evaluated As teacher education in the state of Georgia undergoes some changes in the near future there is the possibility that some teacher education programs will be discontinued at the 14 University System institutions which offer such programs In a report to the Board of Regents at its June meeting Dr Anne Flowers assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs presented an update on the status of teacher education in the state In the fall of 1983 39 programs were put on probation at 12 different institutions Programs which had less than a 70 percent pass rate on the teacher certification test over a fiveyear period were put on probation The programs were asked to submit a plan for improvement to the Regents with the results being measured by teacher certification scores in the spring of 1986 Those 39 programs represented about 21 percent of the teacher education programs in the University System Flowers said According to Flowers those teacher education programs are now being evaluated to see whether they can be removed from probation whether they have made significant improvements but must remain on probation or whether they should be discontinued Flowers added that she anticipated that by this fall a recommendation could be made to the Board to take approximately onefourth of the programs off probation to keep on probation onehalf of the programs and to discontinue approximately onefourth of the programs Twenty teacher education programs in the System last year only had one graduate said Flowers We will be taking a close look at the small programs because we have found inherently that many of them that are small have run into difficulty They may not have the faculty in the area to do the teaching or they may not have the resources and libraries Small programs in themselves need to be looked at to see if we should be continuing those programs or should we be cutting out some duplications in certain areas of the state Flowers also reported on the new admission guidelines for teacher education programs Approximately 20 percent of the students who apply for admission to the teacher education programs are being screened out due in part to the new admissions requirements which state that a 25 grade point average must be held by anyone moving into an education program and planning to teach According to Flowers this 25 GPA is above the national average for admittance into teacher education programs Many schools saw a drop in enrollment as they began to do that kind of screening said Flowers But I think it is beginning to pay off because we are seeing less of an inclination to go into something elseinto another field after they get their degree An external review board has also been set up to review teacher education programs in Georgia The committee made up of nationally known experts in teacher education including Mary Futrell president of the National Education Association will be studying teacher education programs and making suggestions and recommendations for change The report is due this fall Teacher educators in Georgia are also moving back into the classrooms to do some teaching During spring quarter of this year we had six faculty members from our colleges and universities teaching in the public school system said Flowers Some were teaching in high schools some were teaching in elementary schools They are to do the teaching and work with those people in the public schools to gain information and then change the curriculum when they go back into their teacher education programs The Board of Regents was also informed of a nationwide problem with the recruitment of minorities into teaching We are recruiting at present about 10 percent minority enrollment in teacher education said Flowers If we use the figures that we have available to us now it looks like by 1990 there will be only about six percent If we just sit and do nothing else we are going to see that number go down In 1984 5000 new teachers were employed in the state of Georgia but only about 3000 of those teachers came from Georgia schools In 1985 61 percent of new teachers in Georgia came from out of state Georgia also has the highest number of provisionally certified teachers in the nation said Flowers These are teachers who do not meet the full requirements for certification by the State Board of Education Almost 18 percent of the teachers in this state are teaching with substandard credentials said Flowers We must address the policy of teacher education if we are to expect any improvements in education in general The review of teacher education programs in the state will be extensive It takes a while to get all the work done so that we continue with this kind of review said Flowers We are asking business leaders members of the legislature teachers in the schools faculty in teacher education programs and others to tell us what they think it takes to produce good teachers I think Georgia is leading the pack in what we are doing to upgrade teacher education We must now decide what the best role is and then accept it r t 6 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY BOARD ACTION UGA Presidential Committee Named f A presidential selection advisory committee which will participate in the search for a replacement for Fred C Davison at the University of Georgia was appointed June 26 by Chancellor

deaf awareness programs for the hearing population Clayton Junior Granted Name Change Clayton Junior College received approval from the Board of Regents in June to change its name to Clayton State College effective July 1 as a result of an earlier decision by the Board to make the institution a senior college In the process of consideration of the name for the institution as a senior college President Harry S Downs solicited the input of his faculty and students as well as members of the community and local and state legislators Downs goal in the selection process was to choose a name that retains the positive aspects of the present identity of the institution and at the same time establishes the institution as a state senior institution The college has been authorized to convert to its new structure as a senior college effective July 1 Beginning in the fall of this year the college will market itself as a fouryear institution among area high schools since entering freshman will be potential baccalaureate degree candidates Action Rescinded Action taken at the May meeting regarding DeKalb Community College student fees was rescinded by the Board of Regents in June in order to specify the distribution of funds collected through the fees The Regents specified that the 20 fee for students taking nine or fewer hours will be split as follows 6 for student activities 4 for athletics and 10 for general institutional revenues Students taking 10 or more hours will be paying 25 with the additional 5 going toward general institutional revenues The fees were effective with the beginning of the summer 86 quarter The Board also approved an increase in Georgia Colleges student athletic fee from 19 to 22 which results in a total combined student activityathletic fee of 44 per quarter JUNEJULY 1986 7 BOARD ACTION GSU Implements New Majors The Board of Regents in June approved the request of Georgia State University to discontinue the master of insurance degree program and to implement two new majors Effective fall quarter the majors in risk managementinsurance and personal financial planning will be offered under the existing master of science degree structure in the College of Business Administration The change in the degree offered by the Department of Risk Management and Insurance from the master of insurance degree to the master of science degree reflects the nature of the educational opportunities available today The name master of insurance is not descriptive of the present program and the change to master of science may facilitate student recruiting Center For Logistics Education Established Georgia College received authorization from the Board of Regents in June to establish a Center for Logistics Education at Robins Air Force Base effective immediately The center will offer a major in logistics under the existing bachelor of science degree structure while the core curriculum courses in the program will continue to be offered by Macon Junior College faculty with the support of library and computer services The primary purpose of the program is to provide professionally trained managers and employees for the Air Force and for private contractors As a pilot program the center is designed to serve as a model for onbase residential logistics education for Air Logistics Centers Because of the increasingly complicated array of weaponry and the growing number of integrative technologies necessary to weaponry maintenance there is a need for sophisticated education and training programs that provide professional collegelevel preparation for a career in logistics The master of science program with a major in risk management and insurance is designed to prepare management technicians for staff consulting and applied research opportunities in risk management and employee benefits or insurance The master of science program with a major in personal financial planning is designed to prepare students for similar opportunities in the field of estate and financial planning Building Field Officially Named West Georgia College received approval to name the lecture hall on the main floor of

information about the colleges intention to use the facility for student housing The Atlanta firm of Warner Summers Ditzel Associates Inc was appointed to prepare plans and specifications for a physical education building at Atlanta Junior College The construction cost for the project is 2800000 Gunn and Meyerhoff A1A Architects RC of Savannah was chosen to prepare plans and specifications for Phase I of a continuing education building at Brunswick Junior College The Board authorized the design for the project in January and accepted an offer from Glynn County Board of Education as partial funding for the project The Board approved an increase in the project budget of the aviation maintenance technology facility to be constructed at Clayton Junior College The budget was increased from 1 million to 1190000 1142000 of which will be paid through 1986 major repair rehabilitation funds The Board also awarded the projects construction contract to Alvin Lee Company of Lithonia In order to provide a means tor the allocation of capital outlay funds in the period between the June Board meeting and the end of the fiscal year on June 30 the Regents authorized a committee to make allocations which will later be ratified by the full Board in July The committee is made up ot the Board s chairman and vice chairman and the chairman of the Buildings and Grounds

colleges and universities in the University System of Georgia increased to 34 when DeKalb Community College became a member institution on July 1 My earliest memory of talk about merger with the University System goes back to 1975 says Dr Marvin M Cole DeKalb Community College president It has taken 10 years to accomplish and it has taken a lot of hard work by a lot of people With 9800 students fall quarter 1985 on three campuses DeKalb Community College offers 38 college transfer programs and 27 career programs It awards associate in arts associate in science and associate in applied arts degrees Students who are dually enrolled in the college and DeKalb Area Techical School are awarded associate in applied science degrees upon successful completion of their programs of study As the only twoyear college created under the Georgia Junior College Act of 1958 which allowed a local board of education to establish and finance a junior college DeKalb Community College has been operated by the DeKalb County School Board since 1964 when its Central Campus in Clarkston opened until the college joined the state University System The members of the DeKalb Board of Education have also served as trustees of the college A rapidly expanding student body led to construction of DeKalbs South Campus near Decatur in 1972 In the same year DeKalb College entered into an agreement with DeKalb Area Technical School to allow students to enroll in both collegiate and vocational programs As a result of the agreement the U0 pO o WOMACK o o o v 3 DEKALB COLLEGE Received NOV 03 1986

Dunwoody was completed in 1979 DeKalbs three campuses occupy a total of2252acres and its24buildings and their contents are valued at 60532086 The college employs 450 people fulltime Its 200 faculty members hold 59 doctoral degrees 64 specialists degrees 71 masters degrees and 6 bachelors degrees The student body is multinational and multiracial with a minority student enrollment of 218 percent Although DeKalb Community College was founded by the citizens of DeKalb County its enrollment has never been confined to DeKalb County residents In 1985 approximately 61 percent of the student body resided in that county DeKalb Community College serves as a primary feeder school to senior colleges and universities in the University System The colleges curriculum offers both a comprehensive developmental program for those students who need to improve their basic skills before attempting collegelevel work and an honors program which has received national recognition A Joint Enrollment Program conducted in cooperation with area high schools allows high school students who meet the qualifications to get a head start on college In addition to traditional academic programs DeKalb offers selfinstructional language programs in Japanese Arabic and Chinese and telecourses which combine televised lessons related readings and assignments with three or four visits to campus during the quarter for discussions and exams for full college credit Classes are scheduled during the day and evening on all three campuses with over onethird of the student body participating in the evening program Through the Weekend College Program on the Central Campus students work toward associate degrees by attending classes only on Saturdays Except for highly specialized programs such as nursing and dental hygiene which are located on only one campus DeKalbs students select classes from essentially the same programs of study on all cam South Campus 3251 Panthersville Road Decatur GA 300343897 Because the average age of a DeKalb student is 26 the college places strong emphasis on services for nontraditional students through support groups seminars and counseling to help students who have been away from the classroom for several years cope with school work and home responsibilities The colleges Office of Academic Support Services provides language and oral interpreters for hearing impaired students tutors for learning disabled students and notetakers and readers for visually impaired students Although DeKalb Community College is a commuter school it offers a wide range of activities and opportunities outside the classroom The college has intercollegiate athletic programs in mens and womens basketball and tennis as well as mens golf and baseball Intramural sports are available to all students The DeKalb Singers the jazz piano and wind ensembles and the DeKalb Symphony Orchestra carry out a full schedule of concerts and the colleges Drama Department stages two musical productions each year The college publishes two literary journals The Chattahoochee Review and The DeKalb Literary Arts Journal which include works by both students and recognized authors DeKalb Community puses DeKalb Community College also offers a broad spectrum of noncredit continuing education courses and cultural experiences not only for its students but for community residents as well As part of the Continuing Education Program training sessions and seminars are made available to area businesses either at business sites or on campus to meet the needs of personnel managers and

fighter pilot races his jet through the valley behind enemy lines 100 feet off the ground His mission is to destroy a munitions plant 30 miles away At 1200 miles an hour he only has a half minute before his bombing run begins There is much to do just to stay alive Fighter pilots sometimes describe their work as sheer boredom interspersed with moments of stark terror and its easy to understand why In the scenario described above the pilot must spend the last 30 seconds before a bombing run navigating his plane scanning passing terrain watching the skies for enemy aircraft tracking jets in his squadron locking in on a target with radar and using another monitor to evade missiles It this set of tasks sounds a little like trying to play two games of PacMan at once consider another problem the design of the cockpit itself The console confronting the pilot in a military fighter plane contains a dizzying array of dials displays and indicators To complete some tasks the pilot must take the readings from several different parts of the console and synthesize them to reach a conclusion In a job where seconds count theres a definite need to simplify cockpit design as much as possible Pilots face an overload of information to process says Dr Ted Doll a psychologist in Georgia Techs Systems Engineering Laboratory Pilots must lean too heavily on their vision in their work routines says Doll They could perform many of their tasks better quicker and more naturally using their sense of hearing To make this possible Doll and his colleagues are developing localized audio messages delivered through headphones to the aircraft cockpit The ability to localize auditory sound signals is an ordinary feature of the human brain The human ears are a highly sophisticated mechanism capable of homing in on an auditory signal to within a single degree out of a possible 360 In contrast when a pilot Hies a mission the headphones in his helmet deliver nondirectional auditory messagesthat is sounds which do not seem to come from any particular location The research program under Dolls direction funded by the Air Forces Armstrong Aerospace Medical Research Laboratory AAMRCLHEA under a contract with MacAulyBrown Inc would deliver directional auditory cues through the pilots earphones Doll believes that auditory cues such as these could simplify cockpit routines in which the pilot must determine location Take for example the relatively cumbersome way pilots must now evade enemy missileguidance radars They must study a small cathode ray tube buried among a mass of electronic instruments in the cockpit On this circular fiveinch display are tiny often poorly resolved symbols showing enemy radar locations In a matter of seconds the pilot must translate the position of these symbols on the cathode ray tube to the real world in order to determine the necessary evasive action With an auditory cue system this task would be far easier to complete The pilot would hear a beeping noise or a synthetic voice through his headphone It would appear to come from a distinct directionthe location of the radar Lor other tasks the location of an auditory cue could in itself provide the pilot with a shorthand message For example all messages emanating from his right could be assigned to his right wingman those seeming to come from below could be messages from ground base It is natural that Dolls research branch has undertaken such a project since this group of psychologists specializes in understanding the human factor in complex electronic systems Auditory localization presents them with a very formidable challenge Creating a simulated localized sound through stereo headphones requires attention to a number of highly complex factors In the natural world human listeners have many clues which allow them to localize sounds Auditory sig 4 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY nals strike the pinna fleshy outer part of the ear from different angles One ear hears a given sound slightly before the other Varying sounds are muffled by the head shoulder and pinna Even the style of ones hair may make a difference A simple but largely unrecognized factor undercut previous efforts to develop auditory localization in cockpits None of these experiments allowed head movement which has been tound to be the most important prerequisite for accurate localization of sound Human hearing works very much like a radar system Doll explains You can compare the outer ear to an antenna dish mounted on a moveable pedestal the head The head moves back and forth allowing the ear to zero in on the location of a target Georgia Tech researchers first had to simulate over headphones the qualities that make a sound appear to come from a given direction Then a system was developed that makes a sound appear stationary in space even though the listener moves his head and with it the headphones The initial step was to line a large soundinsulated room with a circle of audio speakers Next the researchers placed a mannequin at the center of the room This mannequin has the size and proportions of the average person Microphones implanted in each ear allow it to hear sound from speakers around the room An audio recording from the mannequins two microphones is delivered in stereo to an adjoining laboratory There a human subject sits in a chair wearing a pilots helmet equipped with headphones Ordinarily head movements would disrupt such a simulation 12 oclock becomes 3 oclock when the head turns 90 degrees left However a magnetic head tracker positioned directly above the subject follows his head and reports movement to a central control computer This computer compensates for the movement by changing the speaker which the mannequin hears by the degree of the head turn The system developed to date is only a physical simulation which has proven that auditory localization through headphones is feasible For the technology to be adaptable to the cockpit researchers must develop an electronic simulation of threedimensional sound To assemble such a system Georgia Tech researchers will have to begin the painstaking chore of documenting the spectral qualities of auditory signals I ttf If iiu Un III which give directional orientation To do this they will have to determine how many acoustic cues are really necessary to produce localized sound Then they will have to develop mathematical equations on which electronic auditory signals can be based This research is one part of an ambitious Department of Defense program to develop a Cockpit of the Future The driving force for the work is the need for NATO to offset the numerical advantage of the Soviet Union in aircraft and pilots Defense planners see modernized cockpit designs as a force multiplier that allows NATO pilots to be more effective than their opponents The Federal Aviation Administration also supports advanced cockpit development viewing the program as a way to lessen pilots dependence on airtraffic controllers The auditory localization project is not Georgia Techs only contribution to the Cockpit of the Future Several years ago Dolls branch surveyed the use of speech and nonspeech signals in Air Force planes then devised a vocabulary of warning messages for Air Force jets The branch is also evaluating methods of enhancing the acquisition and tracking of visual targets Currently some sensorbased systems in aircraft automatically lock onto targets However these automatic systems must be monitored and often corrected by already overworked pilots Georgia Tech researchers hope to determine whether training methods can be devised which enhance the pilots ability to make these adjustments while continuing to fly the plane Research of this kind may produce improvements in pilot performance which seem subtle on the surface However in a business where seconds often seem like minutes any enhancement in response time is significant For pilots of the future more natural work routines some of which rely on the sense of hearing could mean the difference between a missions success or catastrophe 1 JULYAUGUST 1986 5 PEOPLE Emeritus Titles Eight

committee as provided for in a policy change approved in July The Regents voted to increase the members of the executive committee from the current composition of chairman vice chairman immediate past chairman and the chancellor as a nonvoting exofficio member The Regents to be added to the executive committee will be named by McMillan who began serving as the Boards chair on July 1 As before the chairman of the Board will also chair the executive committee Section 2010601 of The Policy Manual was amended to read as follows with the addition in italics The Executive Committee of the Board of Regents shall consist of the Chairman of the Board the immediate past Chairman the Vice Chairman and the Chancellor ex officio nonvoting and two additional members to be appointed by the Chairman The Chairman of the Board shall serve as the Chairman of the Executive Committee and the Chancellor shall serve as the Secretary The Executive Committee shall meet at the call of the Chairman and shall consider and make recommendations to the Board on any matters brought before it touching on the affairs of the University System The Committee shall have no authority to act for the Board on any matter except as may be specifically authorized or ratified by the Board 6 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY BOARD ACTION PreEngineering Program Approved by Board After several years of debate over the expansion of engineering education opportunities in Georgia the Board of Regents voted in July to approve a preengineering program developed by the Georgia Institute of Technology Students in the preengineering program will attend the first two years at another System institution and finish their degree requirements at Georgia Tech which is the only public institution in the state offering fouryear degrees in engineering Before voting on the programs approval the Board voted to reject a move to table the decision pending the review of a study made by Georgia Southern College That study presents questions about the accuracy of an earlier report from the Southern Regional Psychical Research Agreement Extended An agreement between the Psychical Research Foundation and the Board of Regents was approved for continuation at the Boards July meeting The original agreement which was approved by the Board in January and expired on June 30 specified that the foundation would provide the salary for a faculty member to teach and continue research in the area of parapsychology at West Georgia that the David Wayne Hooks Library would be transferred to the college and that a professional journal would be published at West Georgia College The agreement will be continued on a yeartoyear basis under the following conditions a ordinary procedures for formalizing the agreement will be used b an appropriate campus committee will review and have the authority to approve all research proposals or course requirements dealing with experimentation with human subjects and c Regents policy in relation to employment and use of facilities or materials will be followed Education Board concerning the establishment of a second engineering school versus the establishment of preengineering programs Regent Arthur M Gignilliat Jr was one of several Regents who expressed the fear that an approval of a preengineering program would preclude the creation of a second engineering college However Regent Sidney O Smith said the program does not inhibit the creation of a second engineering school In fact Smith added it could be a transition step in that direction Although the Board voted to go ahead with the approval of the preengineering program it also agreed to consider the report from Georgia Southern and to continue to review additional options for engineering education expansion including that of creating a new engineering school The institutions which will be authorized to participate in the program by offering the first two years were not specified by the Regents in July but according to Dr W Ray Cleere vice chancellor for academic affairs the possibilities include Valdosta State College Georgia Southern College Armstrong State College Southern Technical Institute and Middle Georgia College Representatives of institutions who are interested in participating in the program attended an informational meeting on August 13 at which guidelines for the program were outlined Those institutions will submit proposals for the creation of programs at their institutions and the Board will consider those proposals this fall according to Dr W Ray Cleere Carter Named GSC Acting President Dr Harry S Carter vice president for academic affairs at Georgia Southern College has been named acting president of the college effective Sept 1 Carter succeeds Dr Dale Lick who has resigned to accept a position as head of the University of Maine Chancellor H Dean Propst who announced Carters appointment at the July meeting of the Board of Regents said of Carter I am confident that under his interim leadership the college will continue to provide outstanding programs of instruction and service Carter has served as a vice president at Georgia Southern since 1983 and has taught at the college since 1975 He has also served as head of the management department acting vice president for academic affairs and assistant dean of the School of Business Prior to joining the faculty at Georgia Southern he was an assistant professor at Virginia Commonwealth University Born Aug 28 1944 Carter received the BS degree in mathematics from Georgia Southern the MS in management science from the United States International University in San Diego and the PhD in management science and information systems from the University of Georgia He also attended the Institute for

automatically were in another countrya whole different dimension said Dr Ernest Pick director of an educational statewide studies abroad program One third of our profits in this country come from international trade Pick added emphasizing the importance of learning about foreign languages and cultures The International Intercultural Studies Program IISP of the University System of Georgia is an organization that sponsors a variety of diverse programs of which studies abroad is the major area of activity One reason for the formation of the IISP was to give students and faculty of Georgia new educational opportunities the director of the twoyearold program said It is helpful to have a working knowledge and understanding of other languages and cultures in the world around us The organization sponsors approximately 14 individual studies abroad programs England France Canada Spain Mexico and Germany are only some of the foreign countries currently participating According to Pick France and Spain are the most popular among students A new program is being developed in China and in the future Japan Martinique and Latin America will be possible sites for expansion of the program A typical trip abroad lasts approximately 68 weeks during which a student travels to a foreign country attends a foreign university and is completely immersed in a foreign culture Obviously one very important aspect is for the student to have some knowledge of the language Pick stated In the past the program sponsored only languagebase programs that were directed toward students in humanities Now more people like to go abroad for specific career objectives such as business and science Art history international banking and finance in London British literature in Winchester England and Israeli culture in Tel Aviv are examples of some of the diverse programs that are offered Certain study abroad programs have very specific requirements If one wanted to study in France at the University of Caen four quarters of French would be an appropriate background However if a student wanted to travel to France with no previous experience in French this also would be possible The

seal for Clayton State College was changed to reflect its new status as a senior college following the design of the seal used when it was established as a junior college Ratification of the administrative approval given by the Chancellor for the DeKalb Community College budget for fiscal year 1987 was given At the time of the July 1986 meeting of the Board of Regents the analysis of the DeKalb Community College budget was not complete A new statement of purpose for South Georgia College was adopted effective immediately The new statement of purpose came out of the selfstudy process for reaffirmation of accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Research Tech Laser Has Heart A laser originally developed for a tank missile guidance system has the potential to make coronary bypass surgeiy safer and more efficient according to the Georgia Tech engineers who designed the system and the Emory University cardiothoracic surgeon who has been testing it This medical system based on carbon dioxide TEA laser technology was designed in Georgia Techs Electromagnetics Laboratory at the request of Dr Ellis Jones of Emorys Department of Surgery Its experimental use in the laboratory on human coronary arteries taken from bodies donated for medical research shows that the laser can effectively vaporize plaque on the inner walls of narrowed arteries The TEA laser has two advantages over other lasers being investigated for use in removing plaque according to Dr Jones and Georgia Tech project director Bob Platt This is a step in the right direction Dr Ellis Jones Emory University First its high energy short duration or pulsed waves blast the plaque out of the way with what the researchers describe as a nice clean cut leaving the inner walls of the artery porcelainized so that blood flows through the artery smoothly Secondly there is no evidence of damage to the surrounding normal tissue in the artery This prevents subsequent clotting of blood on the injured surface of the lining of the vessel This may make the new laser system useful as an adjunct to the surgery for coronary artery diseaseand after much longer development possibly to the treatment of coronary artery disease without surgery Thats a long way down the pike says Dr Jones but this is a good step in the right direction SEPTEMBEROCTOBER 1986 5 FEATURE Students Conquering the World Via Program continued from page I diverse programs are designed to fit the specific needs and advancement of the students According to Pick Any college student with a minimum of a 25 GPA is qualified to take part in the studies abroad activities Even rising high school seniors with high SAT scores and some foreign language training are eligible to go Another advantage of the international studies program is that college students have the opportunity to earn 15 quarter hours credit by traveling abroad to study High school students earn 10 quarter hours from the institution hosting the program To cover all of the expenses of the trip the student must pay a set fee The IISP will subsidize some of the programs if extra help is needed to make the trip successful We try very hard to price the trips as low as possible because we dont want to exclude anyone Our price per program is among the lowest in the country Pick said When asked if recent terrorist attacks in Europe have affected the studies abroad program he replied Even though we lost about 25 percent of the students who had actually signed up we still had a dramatic improvement over last year About 245 students participated in the program in 1986 compared to 132 students the previous summer Pick continued But still it did hurt our program and we believe there is no more terrorism in Europe this year than in previous years The media made much more of it than it has in the past and consequently people became afraid Many safety precautions were taken such as cancelling highrisk programs giving cautionary handouts to all program participants and following more specific guidelines concerning the registering of students with the American Embassy and Consulate This procedure was taken so that the United States government would be informed of the American citizens living in foreign countries in case an emergency did occur A couple of programs that included tours of several countries were can we believe there is no more terrorism in Europe this year than in previous years Ernest Pick celled because they required too much exposure in European airports We really took extraordinary measures Pick said and we were ultra conservative about the situation even if some of the students thought we were overreacting Organizing faculty development programs is another facet of the IISP Many program directors from individual institutions encourage faculty participation on a rotating basis In May about 13 faculty members from the University System of Georgia traveled to Quebec for an extensive weeklong seminar on developments in science history literature the arts and linguistics The government of Quebec and a consortium of Florida institutions worked in conjunction with Georgia institutions on the project We send faculty members to foreign countries to work with counterparts giving lectures and exchanging ideas and information Pick explained Many applications are sent to the IISP every year concerning vacant positions in the programs Faculty development programs are an important aspect of the IISP and will continue to be allotted in the budget on a yearly basis Internationalizing campuses and their curricula is also an important task of the IISP This means for example a course being taught on drama and poetry would not be limited only to American writersEuropean Asian and African writers would also be studied This is designed to teach people how to appreciate literature a literature not only of this country but also of others Pick said The IISP has also been assisting senior colleges in the state with the recruitment of foreign students as a method of internationalizing the institutions of higher learning in Georgia Many of the states universities already have a high percentage of foreign students Additionally the program is working on expanding the number of international student teaching assistants According to Pick coordination of the recruitment of international students could expand possibilities for exchanges of Georgia students abroad The newest addition to the IISP will involve the study of one significant international topic a year According to Pick the first topic will probably focus on world hunger and the problems of oversupply undersupply and improper distribution of food Everyone has a stake in world hunger because we all eat he added A weeklong conference will be held in Atlanta and afterwards the universities and colleges of the System will be asked to devote a week of their time to have faculty turn their courses over to the study of world hunger Someone in philosophy will deal with the ethical issues of world hunger mathematicians will work with mathematical considerations and economists will deal with questions of food distribution or Malthusian theory said Pick This new project is still in its planning stages but should be completed by 1988 y f A I tl 4 41 J 6 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY Meet the Director Ernest Pick began his international travels at an early age During the height of World War II fourandahalfyearold Pick crossed the Atlantic Ocean on a freighter from Lisbon to New York City where he was to be reunited with his parents When his mother and father had fled his birthplace of Czechoslovakia Pick was placed in a boarding kindergarten in Switzerland until his parents could send for him The woman who owned the kindergarten took the boy to Lisbon and put him on the boat asking a 16yearold passenger to keep her eye on him during the twoweek voyage Although German submarines were firing torpedoes at the ships in the Atlantic Pick says he doesnt remember being afraid I remember the cold and the rough seas and I remember the Statue of Liberty because everybody was so excited They started running to the rail Pick said I didnt understand why the statue was important but I followed them anyway Pick graduted from high school and prep school in New Jersey and attended the University of Pennsylvania In 1956 during his junior year in college Pick went to the University of London to study English literature A friend of mine and I were the first ones to go through the process of applying at a university to go abroad for a year and get credit for it he said adding It was a remarkable experience During his senior year Pick received a Fulbright Exchange Fellowship to travel to Bordeaux France At the University of Bordeaux Pick taught and also received his masters degree He later received a doctorate in French literature while teaching at the University of Nancy under a Fulbright Teaching Fellowship Pick then returned to the United States where he taught French and comparative literature and directed the studies abroad program at Lake Erie College which is a womens institution Pick says that one of the reasons he was attracted to the college where he worked for 20 years was that all students are required to study abroad for at least one term Pick who says that Nice France is the most fascinating place hes ever visited speaks four languages in addition to EnglishFrench German Spanish and Italian Additional information on the IISP can be obtained by

TO THE BOARD Status of State Training Programs Reviewed at Meeting In a report to the Board of Regents Dr Howard Jordan vice chancellor for services reviewed the commitment that the University System has for assisting other state agencies in providing needed training for their employees Five years ago a special program was established to help state agencies with their training program needs A total of 429 continuing education programs involving 13738 participants were conducted for Georgia state government agencies during the 198586 fiscal year These participants were provided with 6658 hours of instruction Management training involving 6570 participants in 239 programs was offered in cooperation with the State Merit System of Personnel Administration as a part of the Georgia Certified Public Managers Program CPM During the year the CPM Program certified 15 Georgia State Managers bringing the total graduates from this program to 102 This program is a model program which has been replicated in Florida Louisiana Arizona New Jersey and Vermont and is in the process of becoming operational in Alabama and Oklahoma A total of 56 state agencies participated in 1986 In conjunction with the administrative offices of the Courts courses were conducted on traffic adjudication for traffic judges and clerks magistrate certification for magistrate court judges and disability adjudication for disability examiners Some programs were initiated because of the enactment of the Georgia Energy Conservation Building Standards Act of 1978 For a number of years in cooperation with the Secretary of States Office a series of workshops on voter registration and election procedures for municipal and county officials have been conducted Each month each state agency is contacted as to its training and technical assistance needs The total of 365589 was budgeted to support these programs in 198586 The breakdown of depart ments and number of participants are as follows for the period July 1 1985 to June 30 1986 No of Programs Attendance Administrative Office Courts 3 114 Dept of Community Affairs 55 1899 Dept of Human Resources 11 595 Dept of Revenue 55 2193

Morgan assistant vice chancellor of academic affairs reported on the audits of all developmental studies programs in the University System to the Board at the September meeting Following the University of Georgia audit 31 additional audits were conducted A twostep process was followed at each institution with interviews being conducted of all people knowledgeable about developmental studies including academic affairs officers and athletic officials at the institutions said Morgan An internal audit was also done at each institution Auditors systematically went through a large percentage of records of students who entered the institution during fall 82fall 84 The general findings were that many institutions had done an excellent job in developing and administering a highly complex educational process in developmental studies said Morgan Another finding was that developmental studies had not been used by System institutions to admit retain or exit athletes on a preferential basis It was also found that current developmental studies policy did not lend itself to uniform interpretation throughout the System Based on the results of these audits the Chancellors staff has developed a new proposed Board policy and a set of administrative procedures The new policies have been distributed to all developmental studies staffs presidents and chief academic officers to be reviewed A revised version of the developmental studies policies will be brought forward to the Board at the October meeting Tech Program Unveiled A report on the twoplustwo engineering program was given to the Board by Dr David Morgan assistant vice chancellor of academic affairs The program has been approved and letters were sent to all the presidents and chief academic officers inviting them to an August 13 presentation said Morgan Thirty two representatives from 26 institutions attended the meeting There were representatives from two universities 12 senior colleges and 12 junior colleges At the meeting representatives from Georgia Tech and the Regents staff made presentations A proposed format outline was presented and an October 1 deadline was set for submission of proposals from the institutions which were interested in participating These proposals will be reviewed by the Central Office with the technical assistance from Georgia Tech then forwarded to the Chancellors staff It is then anticipated that the Chancellor will bring these proposals before the Board According to Morgan Tech will be shifting its resources to make more slots available to the junior and senior levels and less at the freshman and sophomore levels Recruitment for next falls entering class will begin as soon as the decision is made of which institutions will be participating in the program A goal of this program is to begin offering courses at selected institutions Institutions will have to make a rather strong commitment in terms of willingness to offer these courses and to have an engineering faculty member along with special faculty members in the sciences said Morgan SEPTEMBEROCTOBER 1986 9 PEOPLE Administrative Development Appointees continued from page 3 year the

OctoberNovember 1986 Received DEC 01 jggg documents UGA LIBRARIFS University System of Georgia Friends Remember Dr Joseph Pettit President Led School into Age of HiTech The sense of change in the air inside Atlantas Mary Macs restaurant on September 16 wasnt overpowering but it was there You could feel it Especially in the Georgia Tech Room the seating area decorated with Yellow Jacket plaques pennants and team pictures There at lunchtime the mood seemed more solemn than usual It was busy to be surethe Ponce deLeon Avenue restaurant seldom slows downbut somehow a subtle uncertainty lingered A copy of the Atlanta Constitution lying on a nearby table suggested why Its banner headline proclaimed the days grim news Georgia Techs Pettit is dead at 70 The people at Mary Macs loved Dr Joseph Pettit Georgia Techs president of 14 years and he loved them He ate at the restaurant at least every other week and his patronage so inspired owner Margaret Lupo and cashier Winston Sharp that they decided last year to create an official Georgia Tech Room I asked him for a portrait Sharp says and he signed one and gave it to us He was always such a friendly likable person Few would disagree Since his arrival in 1972 Dr Pettit guided the institution through the most critical transition of its 100year history He presided over the schools emergence as a powerhouse Dr Joseph Mayo Pettit 191686 He was a busy man but he always had time for others during the age of mans greatest technological advances and he did so with a manner that was at once diligent and accommodating He was a busy man but he always had time to show concern and compassion for others While Dr Pettits death brought many eulogies and fondly recalled anecdotes none was perhaps more indicative of his warmth than a story related by Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young shortly before the late presidents funeral at Alexander Memorial Coliseum Mayor Young told of the time he watched Dr Pettit furiously scribbling notes at a Tech football game He worked out such strange symbolism that I thought some of his engineering concerns were going through his head Young told a Constitution reporter But later Young saw Dr Pettit referring to his notecards as he moved through the teams locker room and congratulated the less visible players for their unrecognized heroics He wanted them to know they were appreciated too At the October meeting the Board of Regents remembered Dr Pettit Chairman Elridge McMillan asked for a moment of silence after which Executive Secretary Henry Neal delivered the following tribute We pause this afternoon to honor the memory of our esteemed friend and courageous colleague Joseph Mayo Pettit President of the Georgia Institute of Technology who passed from this earthly scene on September 15 1986 Dr Pettit was appointed by the Board of Regents as the eighth president of Georgia Tech on October 5 1971 He assumed the duties ol this office on March I 1972 Under his visionary and dynamic leadership Continued on page 2 INSIDE Dr Henry Bourne named Techs Acting President Forty emeriti honored at eighth annual ceremony Dr Joseph Pettit Eulogized at Board Meeting continued from pg 1 Georgia Tech has received national recognition as an institution of technological excellence and has reached the threshold of greatness as a research institution All Georgians are justifiably proud of these accomplishments Georgia Tech celebrated its 100th birthday on Convocation Weekend October 12 and 13 1985 The Convocation theme was The Pioneering Spirit a theme which Dr Pettit exemplified throughout his business and educational career In his words Those of us associated with Georgia Tech in 1985 stand on the threshold of its second century We must regard ourselves as New Founders of Georgia Tech We must remember that we shall celebrate not the end of a century but the beginning of a new one This same Pioneering Spirit became apparent in Dr Pettits inaugural address at Georgia Tech fourteen years ago when he spoke of a vision of quality which he tenaciously pursued throughout his presidency a vision of recruiting outstanding faculty of strengthening engineering research and graduate programs of upgrading facilities and of expanding engineering education to meet the increasing societal demands ot technology These visions became the hallmarks of his administration and Georgia Tech and the State of Georgia were the beneficiaries We wish publicly to express and record our gratitude to and admiration of Dr Joseph Mayo Pettit for his enduring contributions to Georgia Tech and the entire educational community of our state and our nation We also wish to convey to his family our sense of irreparable loss and to extend to each of them our heartfelt expressions of sympathy We are grateful to the Almighty for his life and are especially thankful for the circumstances of our lives which permitted us to enter the circle of his friendship and to enjoy vicariously the noteworthy achievements of his distinguished career Dr Henry Bourne Is Named Georgia Techs Acting President For the time being the job of presiding over Georgia Tech has fallen to Dr Henry C Bourne formerly vice president of academic affairs for the Institute Already Acting President Bourne has wasted little time getting started at the October Board of Regents meeting he outlined an ambitious longterm plan engineered to guide Georgia Tech into the 21st Century At the meeting Dr Bourne narrated a 30minute slide presentation discussing the schools overall strategy for growth and improvement a plan first originated in 1982 by Bourne and Thomas Stelson vice president for research In the past four years it has undergone the scrutiny of administrators and department heads before evolving into todays comprehensive 12goal overview of Techs future One of the plans proposals targets enrollment specifically increasing the number of graduate students while maintaining overall enrollment between 11000 and 12000 students Tech would like to keep the number of undergraduates between 8000 and 9000 but boost graduate enrollment by 25 percent from 2400 to 3000 Depending on the resources the quality that we can achieve at Tech number of professors we can hire the number of lab stations we can provide will determine our undergraduate enrollment Dr Bourne told the Board We have a serious plan to upgrade the undergraduate lab equipment we are spending 2 million in that area this year Another aspect of Techs battleplan involves upping the number of faculty members over the next seven years from 550 to 900 instructors a 64 percent addition Under the proposal 50 new faculty members would be hired each of the seven years According to Dr Bourne Georgia Tech would also like to attract more female and minority students Presently 21 percent of the students are women Tech would like to see that number climb to at least 30 percent Dr Bourne also said the plan calls for an increase in minority enrollment from 10 to 18 percent Wed like to be number one and were working on it Dr Bourne said of Georgia Techs No 4 ranking in minority engineering graduates Georgia Tech has earned nationwide recognition for some of its athletic programs in recent years and would like to see that attention continue To maintain a strong sports program Dr Bourne said Tech would strive to up the number rV Sf C i WmS Acting President Henry Bourne of mens and womens varsity sports and increase the percentage of varsity athletes who receive degrees He added that hed like Tech to build a solid financial base for athletics and increase student participation in intramural sports Dr Bourne told the Regents that the school will attempt to increase the value of private and governmental research projects performed by faculty members Tech now has 12 engineering field stations manned by 24 professionals in various key spots around Georgia Tech has a responsibility to the community he said and our main thrust is to satisfy Georgia While a presidential search committee has been formed to locate a permanent president of Georgia Tech it is clear that the school is hardly being neglected Its acting president is busy ushering Georgia Tech through an important perioda time of transition 1 2 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY BOARD ACTION Regents Approve Substitution in DS Policy Salary Policy for Returning Teachers Also Established at October Meeting The Board of Regents approved a substitution of the University Systems developmental studies policy by designating the chief academic affairs

Special Regents Committee is comprised of Regent Arthur M Gignilliat Jr chair Regent William T Divine Jr and Regent Thomas H Frier Sr Feature Formula Found for Figuring Flavors What gives a food its taste Scientists have known for years that certain compounds combine to create a flavor But outside trial and error there was no way to recreate the flavor The pioneering work of a College Experiment Station scientist helped change all that Some 20 years ago food scientist John Powers began to look at the taste of foods according to their physical and chemical attributes In those early days Powers and his colleagues realized the problems were complex Most people dont know that many foods are made up of 400 or more compounds said Powers a professor at the University of Georgia The trick is to find out which ones affect flavor in their own right and which ones affect it in conjunction with others Powers began by using gas chromatography a method that identifies and separates compounds in food Whereas scientists had once looked tor a single element that gave food its flavor or character Powers found hundreds There are for instance at least 350 or more compounds in peaches he said and coffee has some 700 compounds The practical value of the research was obvious Food manufacturers using this developing technology might be able to create familiar desirable flavors in a variety of productsincluding nutritional ones As Powers continued experimenting technology became more sophisticated The pieces to the puzzle began to tall into place Liquid chromatogrpahy and mass spectrometry helped further identify the compounds in food and his research efforts began to pay off Now as research continues companies are routinely using Powers pattern recognition as a way to look at overall flavor When we started finding the right combinations for a flavor was a difficult and timeconsuming thing Powers said Now we can identity what the components are It is easier to simulate them Phil

Ready for Changes Committee issues report outlining presidents concerns suggestions It began in 1958 when the Georgia General Assembly decided that community education in this state needed a blueprint for the future And so the Junior College Act was drawn up and passed clearing the way for more cities and counties to build schools and make higher education a new priority for their communities Today nearly 30 years later Georgias junior colleges may be on the threshold of change A report filed with the Chancellor in late October detailed the findings of the Junior College Study Committee a group comprised of three junior college presidents identifying the concerns of their 12 colleagues in the University System Brunswick Junior College President John Teelalong with Derrell Roberts president of Dalton Junior College and Edward Jackson president of South Georgia Collegepresented the 14page report to the Regents at the November meeting The report however was not limited to an identification of presidential concerns it also contained several tentative suggestions on how to eliminate some of the problems that exist at the Systems twoyear schools Foremost on the presidents minds is the overall mission of the junior collegesthat is what role each school should play in higher education Are the schools supposed to serve as job training institutions Do they exist solely to serve their locales Or are they launching pads for state colleges and universities According to the report much of the anxiety is rooted in the perceived role of junior colleges over the years The fact that many of todays senior colleges began as junior colleges has caused some consternation among presidents as to the very purpose of twoyear schools in this state This history of conversion the report states has helped to perpetuate the belief that Georgias junior colleges are institutions waiting to grow up and that they cannot and will not come into their own until they have matured into adulthood Further clouding the picture are apparent contradictions between what is and what should be The report cites a 1982 observation of the Governors continued next page 2 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY Junior Colleges continued Committee on Postsecondary Education there is no clear difference between the mission statements of public junior and senior colleges and a recently completed survey of University System freshman admissions standards The latter notes that some junior colleges have higher requirements than some senior colleges and some senior colleges have higher requirements than universities Of course no simple solution exists to such concerns but the leaders of junior colleges would like to see the Board of Regents establish a committee to look into the matter From that committee they would like a mission statement to be drawn up outlining the responsibilities of twoyear public schoolsresponsibilities that include freshman and sophomore instruction developmental studies and continuing education Such a statement they contend would at least give them a stronger sense of purpose Which brings them to their second major concern the place of junior colleges in a progressive Georgia educational environment Where do junior colleges fit in with regard to vocational technical schools Should more recognition be afforded to twoyear degrees Can something be done to eradicate an image that they feel borders on inferiority These are just some of the questions about the place of junior colleges in Georgia that came to the presidents minds They also posed some possible answers Study the relationship between the Board of Regents and the State Board of Postsecondary Vocational Education and clarify that relationship on a state not institutional level Have the University System take responsibility for programs not specified in the Quality Basic Education Bill of 1985 Study the transferability of votech school credits to University System schools and clarify developmental studies and Regents testing requirements Have the Board of Regents affirm the place of junior colleges as transfer institutions in the System Encourage junior colleges to improve their college transfer programs in the areas of cost academic quality and transferability Have the University System look into ways to help high school general education graduates go to college after changing their minds Establish a regular meeting schedule between junior college presidents and the Chancellors staff Another concern voiced in the report involved the present degree structure at twoyear colleges in the System For many years students have earned associate degrees after completing two years of study at junior colleges however votech schools have also begun awarding associate degrees for certain programs Because all associate degrees are not equal the presidents of Georgias junior colleges would like to see some uniform in order to upgrade the image of their institutions college presidents would like to drop the word junior guidelines set And the guidelines proposed in the report outline four basic twoyear degrees 1 Associate of Arts A AFor students who intend to transfer to a senior college or university 2 Associate of Science ASFor students who complete college level programs designed to prepare them for jobs after college Includes a good amount of general education and liberal arts coursework 3 Associate of Applied Science AASFor students who complete a combination of college level and votech coursework 4 Associate of Applied Technology AATFor students who finish two years of votech education where most of the work is noncoliegiate The proposed degree structure will to be sure draw its share of critics Im certain that not all of the gentlemen in this room will agree with these categories Jackson said at the meeting However our committee feels very strongly that we do need to establish some clearcut categories Junior college leaders would also like to work out some kinks in the process of transferring creditespecially core curriculum credit Supposedly a core course taken at one University System school is accepted for credit at any other school in the System However junior college presidents say that isnt always the case because differences of opinion often arise about which courses count for what credit We are very concerned about the transferring of core courses Teel said Not that its a severe problem but it is a problem that needs to be corrected Campus registrars usually handle such conflicts but as the report says there are instances when mutual agreement is not reached on a given problem Thus a student may lose credit if the school for some reason chooses not to accept it as a transfer The presidents would like students having difficulty with transferring credits to be able to turn to a central authority for appeal That authority they say should be the System Committee on the Transfer of Credit and the junior college leaders would like the committee to be responsible for reviewing any unsolvable problems with transferring Finally there is the business of institutional designations In order to upgrade the image of their institutions college presidents would like to change their schools names The word community might be a substitute tor junior but the report points out that the change might not be entirely appropriate since they are neither locally governed nor are they directly supported by local tax revenues So why not just drop the word junior altogether Middle Georgia College South Georgia College and Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College dont use it so why should the other twoyear institutions Such a change the report notes would force Albany Junior College and Emanuel County Junior College to adopt new names But the proposal merits consideration as do the remainder of the suggestions and thats what the Regents are giving at this point The junior colleges hope that the findings and observations of the Junior College Study Committee will keep them on board at a time when higher education in Georgia is in forward locomotion OCTOBERNOVEMBER 1986 3 A Milestone for Alban Junior College Celebrates Its 20th Birthday Like most 20yearolds Albany Junior College is at a crossroads Clearly there is evidence that the college has grown up having gone from two buildings 21 programs and no minorities to the respectable junior college it is today a network of nine structures 61 transfer and career programs and 1683 students a fourth of whom are minorities Yet by many standards the college is still on the verge of adulthood And as the school paused last month to celebrate an important anniversary and reflect on the past two decades there was considerable talk about the future Doubtless the college wants to continue doing the things that got it where it is today namely keeping the lowest tuition in the state maintaining aboveaverage Regents Test scores expanding the dimensions of size and academics But President BR Tilley whos been in charge from day one would also like to improve some areas One of our major concerns is closing the malefemale ratio gap Dr Tilley said Wed also like to balance the number of transfer programs and career programs to about 5050 Presently there are almost two female students to every male student and the number of transfer programs is four times that of Associate of Science degree career programs Certainly the residents of Dougherty County the parents of Albany Junior College have reason to be proud They were the ones who created the school In April 1963 the Board of Regents approved the establishment of AJC in accordance with a state plan outlined in the Junior College Act of 1958 But it was up to local government to build the college and so the county school board authorized a 16 million bond issue to buy a 100acre pecan grove and fund construction On October 19 1966 at a dedication ceremony Gov Carl Sanders praised the citizens of Dougherty County for realizing a dream Since then some 26000 students have passed through the colleges doors To commemorate this and other accomplishments Albany Junior College threw itself a little party Oct 17 at the campus student center Four hundred people came to dinner and although guest speaker Sen Sam Nunn was detained in Washington he telephoned his congratulations Today we face many challenges Nunn told the audience and education will play a great part in the nations future Colleges will play a vital role and AJC fills that void The Good News Enrollment for Fall 86 Is Up The commencement of fall quarter classes had many in the University System bracing themselves for an anticipated drop in enrollment but today most can relax The verdict is in and the news is good Enrollment in Georgias public colleges is up not down System officials originally feared a decline in college enrollment because of a drop in birth rates 18 years ago a shrinking number of high school graduates and an attractive job market in Georgia However 2758 more students signed up for classes this year at Georgias 33 institutions excluding DeKalb Community College With DeKalbs figures enrollment stood at 147508 this fall Nine schools including two junior colleges reported record enrollment while just four institutions had a decrease of five percent or more Why the unexpected increase Chancellor H Dean Propst suggested two possible reasons at the October Board of Regents meeting We feel that the focus on education over the past year and a half because of the Quality Basic Education Act is one reason Dr Propst said Also schools are doing a good job boosting their visibility Dr Haskin Pounds Vice Chancellor for Research and Planning agreed with Dr Propst on the impact of QBE on enrollment He predicted an improvement in college retention rates as betterprepared students gain admission The accuracy of this prediction should become clear by 1988 Pounds said Two junior colleges Gainesville and Waycross posted higher enrollment figures with the most dramatic increase occurring at Gainesville The college admitted 193 more students than last year Rapid growth in Gwinnett County is responsible for the 115 percent increase according to Bill Edmonds director of admissions at Gainesville Junior College We are accessible to Atlanta as well as Athens Edmonds observed and continued next page 4 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY Enrollment continued our records show that our retention rate of students is better Were glad to see more of them staying here Waycross Junior College added 70 students to its roster resulting in a 145 percent increase According to President James Dye efforts to personalize the system have paid off at the school We are getting the faculty more involved with the students Dye said One school that didnt fare as well this fall was DeKalb Community College the University Systems latest addition Enrollment at DeKalb was ENROLLMENT

engineering education in Georgia the Board of Regents has approved the Chancellors selection of nine schools to participate in a new engineering transfer program Under the plan students may study engineering for two or more years at eight state colleges and one junior college before transferring to the Georgia Institute of Technology to complete their course of study Currently Georgia Tech is the only state institution offering a fouryear bachelors degree in that field although the University of Georgia has a degree in agricultural engineering The nine schools were chosen after submitting proposals in September with two other schools The Chancellors staff and representatives from Georgia Tech reviewed the proposals before reaching a decision The transfer program should be in full swing by the fall of 1989 following two phases of implementation Four schools Armstrong State College Georgia Southern College Middle Georgia College and Valdosta State College already offer engineering education fitting the programs needs Thus they have begun preparing students for the first phase of transfer in the fall of 1988 Five other colleges Albany State Columbus College Georgia College Macon Junior College and North Georgia College were deemed suitable and will make up Phase II of the program Students may enroll as early as fall 1987 and transfer to Georgia Tech two years later All nine institutions must set minimum admissions requirements of a 30 high school grade point average and a score of 550 Math450 Verbal on the Scholastic Aptitude Test a score that is 75 points lower than the average SAT score at Georgia Tech The Boards approval of the nine schools marks a significant step toward solidifying engineering instruction in Georgia It is a step that follows 15 months of consideration In August 1985 the Regents com missioned a Southern Regional Education Board SREB study of Georgias need for more engineering education That study released last March concluded that only 286 out of 1315 potential engineering students were not being served by Georgia Techs program In July the Board approved the new transfer program and asked for proposals from all interested institutions Both West Georgia College and the Southern College of Technology two schools many figured would apply chose not to participate in the transfer plan opting instead to maintain their own existing relationships with the Atlanta school Other methods of upgrading engineering education such as the establishment of a second engineering school in Georgia are still under consideration Regents Approve TechEmory Center Soon Emory University and the Georgia Institute of Technology will be married in the name of biomedical technology research Having secured the blessings of the Board of Regents at the November meeting Emory and Georgia Tech will enter into a memorandum of understanding to establish the Biomedical Technology Research Center The two schools will now proceed with plans to create a harmonious joint research and education environment The new partnership is much more than a marriage of convenience a collaboration between a nationally renowned technological institute and a highly respected medical school located just across town It is a union designed to benefit medical science as well as boost the visibility of both schools Not only will they be offering joint degrees said Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Ray Cleere but they will also have a formal vehicle allowing them to go for the big money This agreement has been a long time coming One of the centers most innovative features will be a sevenyear joint Doctor of MedicineDoctor of Philosophy MCPhD program Under the doctoral program students will spend the first two years at Emory doing preclinical work After that they will complete three years of PhD work at Georgia Tech and then return to Emory for two years of medical school The agreement specifies that the MDPhD program should be funded by private foundations or other endowments and that a committee of six faculty three from each school will This agreement has been a long time coming Dr Ray Cleere administer the program Overseeing the centers operations will be two codirectors one from each institution Emory and Georgia Tech will also appoint internal and external advisory groups to provide immediate and longterm guidance to the center Indeed both schools are committing themselves to making the biomedical technology research center work Each has agreed to provide a funding base of 200000 to launch the project and they will share facilities personnel and research The two will also join forces to raise future money for the center Already Emory and Georgia Tech are involved in a number of joint research projects and the new center will better coordinate the often spontaneous collaborations that now exist Additionally the center will host joint conferences and seminars involving faculty from both schools as well as visiting instructors and lecturers Tech and Emory hope the community will participate in such events which will keep the center in the public eye 6 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY November Action Beneficial for Nursing Education Nursing education in Georgia received a healthy boost after the November Board meeting as the Regents approved two new masters in nursing degrees a new college of nursing and a restructured Health Sciences College The approval came upon the recommendations of the Committee on Health Professions which reviewed proposals by Georgia College Georgia Southern College and Georgia State University As of next fall Georgia College will offer the masters degree to accompany a newly created School of Nursing The state college proposed the school after surveying 133 students last year and finding that 57 percent would pursue graduate education in nursing were it available at GC The new masters program will offer two clinical specializations family health nursing and nursing administration It will be offered under the new school of nursing an organization of 200 graduate and undergraduate majors 14 fulltime faculty members and one presiding dean Theres a lot of emphasis on nursing in the middle Georgia area said Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs Ray Cleere at the November meeting Georgia Colleges program will benefit from Mercer Universitys medical school in Macon the nearby Veterans Adminstration Hospital in Dublin and the Warner Robins area Georgia Southern Colleges need for a graduate program in nursing arose from 20 years of Georgia surveys that reiterated the need for increasing the numbers of masters prepared nurses Two areas of specializationfamily nurse practitioner and rural community health nurse specializationwill be offered and the course of study for the two is 60 and 90 quarter hours of credit respectively A burgeoning school of nursing prompted Georgia State University officials to request a reorganization of that schools College of Health Sciences The college is now comprised of the nursing school and five allied health departments under the new structure the college will be divided into a school of nursing and a school of allied health sciences Four departments will fall under the school of nursings umbrella while the school of allied health sciences will encompass the original five allied health departments The restructuring creates a need for an additional administrator to oversee the School of Allied Health Professions The University of Georgias College of Business Administration now has a new Professorship of Business Following the Boards approval at the November meeting the Robert O Arnold Professorship of Business was established to honor the former chairman of the Board of Regents Mr Arnold who died in 1983 was as much a leader in education as he was in Summary New school of nursing at Georgia College New masters in nursing degrees at Georgia College ana Georgia Southern Restructured College of Health Sciences at GSU business Born in 1889 he first attended the University of Georgia at the age of sixteen graduating with an Arts and Sciences degree in less than four years He was elected mayor of Athens when he was only 28 years old but resigned to serve his country as a captain in World War I Upon his return to the United States Mr Arnold pursued a successful career in textiles and in 1949 Gov Herman Talmadge appointed him to the Board of Regents Two years later he was named chairman and went on to serve in that capacity for another 12 years The approval of the Robert O Arnold Professorship of Business follows a request by UGA Interim President Henry King Stanford The Regents also approved two changes in the Policy Manual at the November meeting The first amendment involves Section 404 which creates a uniform process of filing for student financial assistance Under the addition students would file a needs analysis when applying for awards based on need The new section reads Applicants for Student Financial Aid Programs which are based on need must file an acceptable needs analysis which has been approved by the United States Department of Education All member institutions will accept and process the College Scholarship Services Financial Aid Form FAF for Federal and State student aid programs In addition institutions may elect to accept and process other needs analysis systems approved by the United States Office of Education The other policy change approved at the meeting deals with the frequency of filing reports on faculty and administrative openings Under Policy 80302 F 2 reports on all unfilled major faculty and administrative positions must be filed monthly however the new policy reduces that frequency to quarterly Policy 80302 F 2 now reads On the first day of each calendar quarter the president shall provide the Chancellor a status report on all unfilled major faculty and adminstrative positions For the purpose of this quarterly status report any positions currently filled by acting or interim personnel should be listed as vacant More frequent submission of this report as needed can be required by the Chancellor OCTOBERNOVEMBER 1986 7 COVER STORY Left Tom Grovenstein and friend Below Two visitors mesmerized by the Bubbles exhibit Opposite page Two kids learn about solar power 8 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY Georgia Southerns Teaching Museum7 continued from page 1 History a section holding records of the pastin fossil form One of the most extraordinary exhibits is The Great Vogtle Whale Project a fossil puzzle of the oldest whale ever found in North America In May 1983 Dr Earl Shapiro of the Georgia Geological Survey discovered what he believed to be a fossil whale skeleton The skeleton was uncovered during construction of the water intake structure of Alvin W Vogtle Electric Generating Plant in Burke County Georgia Dr Shapiro had been to the GSC museum a few weeks before his discovery so he called on Dr Gale Bishop and Dr Richard M Petkewich of Georgia Southerns geology department to confirm his find The colossal fossil represents the most complete specimen known from the Eocene Age 45 million years ago in North Americaand quite possibly the world Bishop and Petkewich work daily removing the fossil from the sediment in which it is buried The delicate experience of extracting the fossil helps geology students at GSC gain handson experience The Hall of Natural History is particularly important because it is a tangible record of history of the Coastal Plains area Presley said We are actually preserving the culture of southeast Georgia The hall also has a live exhibita available The nearby Herty Nature Preserve and Trail offers an environment to study undisturbed nature The museum provides a printed guide and maintains an interpretive shelter The museum shop has educational items experiments and games along with natural jewelry and books of learning for all ages In the summer the museum sponsors a Tuesday Evening Summer Series featuring hour long programs with the exhibits The Camera exhibit ran this past July when the head of the art department Richard Tichich built a giant camera for visitors to walk into A photo contest accompanied the exhibit with a theme of Small TownRural Life Future exhibits at the GSC museum include Toys and Joys of Christmas Past an array cf antique dolls toy soldiers and other toys that will be brought to the museum by the Bulloch County Historical Society and the people of Statesboro The display will start on December 2 and run through Christmas Eve Another exhibit entitled Well Never Turn Back displays 110 photographs depicting the emotion of the civil rights movement and will run January 20February 22 A photography exhibit of a different light also slated to appear is Baseball Immortals the work of Charles Martin ConIon one of the first sports photographers The Smithsonian Institution put together this exhibit and it will be sponsored by The Sporting News and Eastman Kodak This exhibit will attract a crowd that has probably never visited the museum before Presley said We want to be diverse in the groups that we serve It will be shown February 17March 20 Faculty curators influencing the museums exhibits are Dr Petkewich for vertebrate paleontology Dr Gale Bishop for invertebrate paleontology Dr Frank French for biology and Dr Richard Persico for anthropology The museum is located in the Rosenwald Building on the main circle of the GSC campus Groups are always welcome and should arrange for programs and tours in advance Cary Knap become popular over the years Attendance has quadrupled since the museums opening in September 1981 and its visitors range from the general public to classes to exclusive oncampus groups Often the museum works with the community to present the history of the area For example CooperWiss Scissor and Shear Company a local company with a national reputation sponsors The Cutting Edge an intriguing exhibit detailing the history of scissors and shears The museum also supplies area elementary schools with handson dis These kinds of displays really keep the children Dr Del Presley plays Presley and his staff recently put together some handmade baskets and pottery to enhance a lesson about Indians of southeast Georgia These kinds of displays really keep the children interested in learning Presley said They have a display they can actually touch Other programs and services are also 67 redtailed boa constrictor Tom Grovenstein a secondary education major who works at the museum regularly performs a Snake Show for visitors and the sixth graders squealed at the prospect of petting the snake The boa smells with its tongue Grovenstein explained You see its sort of checking you out Many of the students wanted to know the snakes name but it doesnt have one yet That will come after the winner of a Name the Boa contest is picked Around the corner is Light and Sight a display developed by Philadelphias Franklin Institute An exhibit featuring experiments with mirrors lights and optical illusions Light and Sight dazzles the senses For instance a multicolored wheel turned white when spinned by Elaine Parks a graduate assistant who explained the wheels magic Finally the class was herded into the planetarium which the museum operates in conjunction with Georgia Southerns astronomy department There they watched a theater in the heavens as constellations blossomed and sparkled before their very eyes Better than any fireworks show I ever saw said one especially enthusiastic sixth grader Georgia Southerns museum has OCTOBERNOVEMBER 1986 9 RESEARCH Research Money Up 25 Percent Georgia Tech Wages War Against Waste ortyfive million tons In just one year American industry produces between 35 and 45 million tons of hazardous waste300 to 400 pounds for every man woman and child living in the United States By the year 2000 annual production of hazardous waste in this country could double At the Georgia Institute of Technology the Environmental Health and Safety Division is waging a war against hazardous wastea war thats being fought on several fronts The division is researching better methods for analyzing and controlling such waste Its trying to help Georgia businesses comply with state and federal regulations through a technical assistance program Its even offering a course on the subject Hazardous Material Control and Emergency Response To date Georgia Techs research in this area includes The use of an electrical field as a sort of chemical magnet for cleaning up hazardous materials that have seeped into the ground In a process called electroosmosis negatively charged probes placed in the ground attract waterand the waste it containsto a single location SpillMap a computer system designed for the first moments of an emergency when untrained people such as a night watchman must take action before help arrives If for example a guard at a chemical plant discovered a suspicious puddle SpillMap would ask the guard a series of questions Combining the guards answers with previously installed data about the plant SpillMap could identify the material trace the location of the leak and recommend a logical response action to the guard An investigation into the use of nematodes tiny worms that could provide an accurate way to measure the potential effects of hazardous materials on humans continued on page 11 More than 3000 research grants and contracts totaling 210 million were awarded to Georgias four universities in FY86 according to a report presented to the Board at the November meeting The number of grants and contracts 3051 is down from last years total of 3067 but the dollar amount is up a whopping 25 percent from 167539779 to 210002676 Once again the Georgia Institute of Technology led the pack with 111 million in research thanks to large amounts from the US government and divisions of the armed services The University of Georgia followed with 76 million while Georgia State University and the Medical College of Georgia each received about 11 million We ought to be doing a lot of bragging about this report said Vice Chancellor for Research and Planning Haskin Pounds at the November meeting It says the reputation of those universities is growing each year They

wastes The byproduct is lignin a substance that exists naturally in wood and is produced in a process that extracts fuel alcohol from biomass Lignin which glues together cell walls could be more costeffective than activated charcoal and other materials now used to trap hazardous wastes While Techs research program concentrates on what to do when things go wrong the technical assistance program tries to prevent problems with hazardous waste Until recently companies that produced less than 2200 pounds of hazardous waste per month were exempt from federal laws designed to manage wastes from the cradle to the grave In 1984 Congress lowered the exemption By the year 2000 annual production of hazardous waste could double level to 220 pounds per month affecting an estimated 300000 to 15 million businesses To help companies in Georgia comply with the increasingly stringent environmental laws Georgia Tech created the Hazardous Waste Technical Assistance Program The program inspects sites and recommends action on dealing with hazardous waste And the best part is all services are free and confidential Georgia Tech has also sought to make the manufacturing process more efficient so that less waste is produced safer materials can be substituted for chemicals that are themselves dangerous or potentially dangerous Tech also identifies wastes that can be recycled while recommending that others be sent to facilities that specialize in treatment and disposal Of the more than 300 companies that have used the program since its inception three years ago 85 percent report they are following Techs recommendations and are complying with environmental regulations OCTOBERNOVEMBER 1986 11 ISSUES Insurance Plan Battles Monstrous Medical Costs But System Losing the Fight As Claims Exceed Reserves by 600000 The soaring cost of health care in America has become in the past couple of years a monster that refuses to die It is a monster threatening all of us and our sole defense is medical insurance But lately that defense has been weakened Although the University Systems health plan is certainly adequate there is still cause for concern Claims are again outnumbering reserves and the latest conflict has University System officials scrambling to think of ways to keep up The current insurance program operates on a system of reserves that is to say it pays out premiums but uses an insurance company to administer a health care plan Presently four separate health plans protect all components of the University System Augusta College the University of Georgia and the Medical College of Georgia each have one a fourth comprehensive program covers the rest of the University System Faced with rising medical costs the University System in July 1985 added three costcutting features to its health plan Two additions allowed for 100 percent reimbursement of all tests and operations for employees performed on an outpatient basis The third feature took care of all childbirth costs with no deductible provided the mothers delivery took place at a licensed birthing center instead of a hospital At the time the Board of Regents hoped these incentives would thwart a growing deficit in the programs reserves Doubtless the incentives have helped but its difficult to determine just how much impact theyve had according to T Don Davis assistant vice chancellor for fiscal affairs At any rate the cost of health care has continued spiraling skyward Last March the Board voted to increase insurance rates by 20 percent to offset five months of constantly depleted reserves Originally a 15 percent increase for all four plans had been approved for July 1 but by springtime the reserves were barely fending off strangulation and something had to be done fast On May 1 two months ahead of schedule the 20 percent hike became effective for the University System plan Because of a greater cash fluency the other three plans UGA MCG and Augusta sustained increases of less than 15 percent and the difference went Among the ideas being explored is another increase toward helping the University System cope with its crunch But the battle against rising costs was not yet won Today the Systems health insurance claims have again begun exceeding reserves by about 300000 since the May increase Ordinarily reserves should be capable of absorbing between nine and 11 weeks of claims at any one time but at present that number for the University System plan is only about three weeks What to do Its difficult to say but the problem is being studied carefully In October the situation was brought to the Regents attention and since then officials have been considering a combination of potential solutions A possible longterm answer would be redesigning the current plan to make it less lucrative from a benefits standpoint Among the shortterm ideas being explored include another 20 percent rate increase next year and the possibility of opening up the Systems policy to bids perhaps to accompany a redesigned plan One costcutting action already being taken involves the health plans provisions for psychiatric care Under the current guidelines the System generally pays for unlimited psychiatric care as it does for other hospitalization But beginning next year such care will be subjected to review before benefits are paid In other words when someone is hospitalized for psychiatric treatment the attending physician must contact the insurance companys Psychiatric Review Unit within 72 hours of admittance The doctor will discuss the patients prognosis the expected length of stay and other relevant data Following his recommendation the Psychiatric Review Unit will agree on a specific level of benefits for the confinement This sort of program has worked well in other companies Davis says We feel there has been some abuse in this area and we hope that this new program will eliminate some of the unnecessarily lengthy claims Weve had some claims where people have received inpatient psychiatric benefits for more than 18 months Rather than penalize all of the people because of the few Davis says this new concurrent psychiatric review would offset the need to limit benefits We feel we can control costs in this manner without having to reduce benefits Davis says If the concurrent psychiatric plan works its possible that it might be tried with all forms of hospitalization At this point officials are willing to consider almost anything to soften the blow of higher insurance rates and kill the monster for good 12 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY NEWS Continuing Ed Figures Continue to Climb More than 472000 Georgians participated in continuing education programs in 198586 according to a recently issued annual report submitted by Vice Chancellor for Services Howard Jordan The participants logged some five million hours in 12556 programs at University System institutions this academic year Also included in the report were figures from Spring Quarter 1986 Just over 178000 people enrolled in con tinuing education last spring earning 112694 CEUs continuing education units from 3279 programs The figures based on reports from the 33 institutions active this year were compiled from three categories Category I by far the most populated deals with teaching mostly occupational career or professional skills as well as the study of community problems and issues Category II involves programs designed to satisfy individual interests while Category III contains planned NUMBER OF PROGRAMS educational events open to the general public According to the report men were more inclined to enroll in Category I continuing ed classes during spring quarter while women outnumbered men in Category II enrollment Attendance was highest in the 3655 age group for Category I while in Category II those in the 2335 and 3655 age brackets attended in similar numbers The charts below detail some of the reports findings d

University System of Georgia Elridge McMillan Reflects on Past Ponders the Future t has been six months since Elridge McMillan assumed the chairmanship of the Board of Regents the first black ever to hold that position Although the first half of his tenure has been somewhat calmer than the last six months of his predecessors term he nevertheless has faced a variety of complex sometimes delicate issues The chairman a Board member of II years paused to reflect on all that has been and all that is yet to come The System Summary caught up with him one recent Friday afternoon late and this is what he had to say Q What in your opinion have been the Boards most significant actions so far during your term A I think the two plus two program with Georgia Tech would be one Equally important have been the presidential searches at the University of Georgia and Georgia Tech not to take anything away from Georgia Southern or Augusta College since their searches are important also Two others would be the report on teacher education in Georgia and certainly the decision to move a South Africa free investment portfolio continued on page 4 Received INSIDE Threshold of change Teacher education in

Education Committee report Regent action signal start of improvements How we teach our teachers has become in recent years an issue of growing importance At a time when public education in Georgia is in a progressive state teacher education has been targeted as a key area for improving the overall quality of learning Recognizing this Chancellor H Dean Propst last January named an external review committee to study how Georgias colleges are preparing future teachers For four months the ninemember panel interviewed educators analyzed data and visited campuses Finally in October the study was complete and the System began moving to change some things for the better The outside committee chaired by Mary Hat wood Futrell president of the National Education Association was the first of its kind in the country The result of its efforts is a report that cites 43 recommendations on bettering teacher education Not all of the recommendations are entirely new but the report serves as a comprehensive guide that might apply to other states as well as Georgia At the December meeting the Regents accepted requests from the presidents of three colleges Armstrong State Fort Valley State and Albany State to discontinue 10 teacher education programs The 10 were part of 39 programs overall that had been placed on probation in November 1983 due to low TCT scores since then 20 other programs showed marked improvements and were taken off probation Another nine programs showed enough progress to be kept on probation until a review next summer The Boards action came after a brief presentation by Dr Anne Flowers assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs Dr Flowers who is an authority on the subject see sidebar gave a candid report on the state of teacher education in Georgia We have a splendid opportunity for improving teacher education in this state Dr Flowers told the Board and Im sure well take advantage of it There are 14 institutions in the System preparing teachers today and I think we need to ask them if theyre serious At this point the chancellor has taken a bold step in allowing an outside committee to come in and study it and then release the report According to the report the most pressing problems include a teacher shortage an abundance of provisional or probationary certification and deficiencies in teacher testing and minority recruitment The committee recommended that teacher education be the responsibility of the entire university rather than its school of education and that better efforts be made to keep j Sidebar teacher ed students and faculty in touch with the real world of teaching Georgia is in step with and in some instances ahead of other states in addressing the needs of teacher preparation programs At a recent American Association of State Colleges and Universities convention nearly 400 presidents approved a series of resolutions designed to improve teacher training in America resolutions similar to those already outlined in the committees report The external review committee also noted that Georgia has higher admission standards for teacher ed programs than most states here an average continued next page The Voice of Experience One of the most renowned teacher education experts around also happens to be the Systems assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs She is Dr Anne Flowers formerly the dean of education at Georgia Southern College and now the resident authority on the subject for the state of Georgia Dr Flowers joined the central office in August 1985 primarily to oversee teacher education in the System She went right to work Almost immediately she submitted a proposal outlining how the existing system might be improved her efforts eventually led to the creation of the external review committee responsible for the recently released study on teacher ed For Dr Flowers teacher education is an issue thats been on her mind for 25 years A onetime elementary and high school teacher she left those jobs to pursue a doctorate from Duke University With degree in hand she embarked on a career that included serving as an instructor and administrator at Duke Georgia Southern Columbia College and Virginia Commonwealth University Why teacher education I dont know if it was a dream or what she says After being in the field 1 saw so much there that could be improved You know theres never been a shortage of bad teachers out there My choice was to go back and see what I could do to make the situation better She was delighted about her recent appointment to a review board of the National Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education and will serve a threeyear term But what pleases her even more is the amount of support the Regents have given the issue so far Its encouraging that theyre so committed to improvement she says Not all boards are as supportive of such an issue 2 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY Employees Encouraged to Offer Ideas to Help Ailing System Health Plan Teacher Education continued from previous page of 20 percent of all applicants are rejected partly because the GPA requirements are higher and a separate minimum requirement exists for English One of the reports most innovative suggestions is the proposed establishment of a professional development center an idea incidentally that was already in the works The center would serve as a magnet for teacher training in Georgia and would coordinate the curriculum for teacher education at the states colleges and universities Research toward improving instruction at all schools from kindergarten to college would also be conducted at the center To be sure the new improvements will cost money but perhaps not as much as some people predict A lot of things in there can be done with the reallocation of existing sources notes Dr Flowers The improvement of teacher preparation programs are also in line with the states education climate and Gov Harris Quality Basic Education program What the Report Said Create incentives to teach in highdemand fields Develop programs to boost minority recruitment Extend student teaching requirement to 1516 weeks Toughen certification standards to make teachers considered professionals Develop relationship between teacher ed and schools Some of the external review committees findings University System employees covered by the Systems health plan received in November a new benelits reference guide and a memorandum explaining the plans current health insurance crunch The slick foldout guide which outlines the plans benefits and various types of coverage was sent to 12000 or so employees and was intended to present information in an attractive fashion The accompanying memo included 14 maladies that could be treated on an outpatient basis an incentive designed to cut back on the high cost of They the legislature might give us a million or some other figure T Don Davis Asst Vice Chancellor inpatient hospital care Because of the soaring costs of health care claims have again begun exceeding reserves at the rate of 100000 a month The deficits have come despite costcutting incentives and a 20 percent rate increase last May and they have forced officials to ponder possible solutions Another 20 percent increase is all but certain for July 1 1987 However that increase might be lessened if the House Appropriations Committee grants all or some of Chancellor H Dean Propsts 42 million request to aid the ailing health insurance plan The prospect of receiving the entire request is doubtful according to Assistant Vice Chancellor T Don Davis but they might give us a million or some other figure The Systems top priority for appropriation remains the 245 million bioscience building at the University of Georgia If that request is denied or if its funding were to come from another area then the chances of getting 42 million for the health plan are much better Newly introduced cost containment features such as the concurrent psychiatric review a reorganized process of psychiatric care might soften the blow packed by expensive health costs Also being considered is the possibility of reducing benefits or sending the current policy out for bids The memo invites all employees to share concerns and suggestions and it is clear that it will take more than one antidote to cure the plan DECEMBER 1986 3 COVER STORY An Interview with Chairman Elridge McMillan continued from page 1 A I think its fair to say were going to have to address that issue headon Possible answers include setting new admissions standards even if that means fewer students in the curriculum in the short run We might have to look at combining teacher education departments at various institutions We cant be out of step with whats happening in academe Theres a climate in this state and the country as a whole thats very favorable to the improvement of education particularly elementary and secondary education Q Some of the recommendations might prove to be costly Do you foresee continued support from the legislature A Well one way to continue receiving support is to let the public see we are serious in addressing improvement in this area I can think of nothing more important than a sound educational opportunity Its got to be a priority concern Economic development for Georgia for the region is very closely tied to the quality of education That will cause legislators to lean a little heavier toward the appropriation of more funds for education Q How would you say the Board of Regents today differs from the Board of 1520 years ago A Except in isolated instances the Board of Regents then had far less controversial issues to confront The Q Some of those are obviously ongoing What else do you think will highlight your agenda for the next six months A My personal agenda is not very heavy Id like to see more progress in the area of employment of minorities and women in the System Of course Id like to see the Regents budget funded by the legislature and for us to move further in teacher education reform also If the chairmanship were for a longer period of time say several years then it would be easier to chart an agenda A years time simply isnt enough to implement a platform But thats not to say that I favor a term longer than one year Because all of the Regents are gainfully occupied its just not feasible to serve more than one year as chairman Q You mentioned that youd like to see more progress made in employing minorities in the System Would you elaborate A I have been and remain painfully concerned about the lack of progress from the majority of our institutions concerning black professors and administrators We havent done what we should do There are some for instance Southern Tech Kennesaw College Gordon Junior who are doing a very good job bringing in black faculty But Id like to see more progress in that area Q What do you think is the best approach A The degree of success at those institutions is in great part related to their presidents and their commitments Recruiting minority faculty is not a high item on everyones list of priorities But the Regents can continue plugging away at this We can require of the other presidents a behavioral change and a more deliberate and aggressive attempt to address this concern I have asked the desegregation committee to give attention to this and I dont mean that we need to tell the presidents how its done I think one way to I have been painfully concerned about the lack of progress made concerning black professors We havent done what we should do do it is ask Southern Tech and Kennesaw and Gordon Junior and other institutions that have done well to show how they did it Some of them have presidents who are seriously committed and see it as a viable part of their institutions overall responsibility Q On teacher education you served on a task force in 1983 that came up with some suggestions and the recent report from the external review committee listed several recommendations Whats the next step m PEOPLE McMillan continued from previous page Boards of recent years and by that I mean the last six or seven years have been much more aggressive and involved Theyve had many situations that demanded responses Ive seen a more involved more handson kind of Board evolving The Regents now spend more time involved in policy issues Now when I say more involved I dont mean more meddlesome Theres been a fluctuation in the personality of the Board Right now we have a very aggressive working body Q What aside from historical importance has being the first black chairman meant to you A Ive been the first black so may things in my life that its almost a sinking feeling On the one hand I ask myself Why am I the first black Why has it taken so long for any black On the other hand theres a quiet humility This is progress I dont view it as any particular personal victory Just a question of being in the right place at the right time A lot of people expect the black chairman to make all kinds of changes and progress which in many instances arent possible And then there are others who are looking to see where you make mistakes Its sort of an onthefence situation Q Not meaning to sound like Barbara Walters but how would you like to be remembered A As one helluva Regent Laughs I suppose as a straightforward honest and diligent Regent m In the NovDec issue of the System Summary we should have said Professor Emeritus Eugene Wiggins retired from North Georgia College Also the percentage changes for junior college enrollment in the chart on page 5 should have been negative We apologize Four Administrators Named Regents Also Confer Two Emeritus Titles The Board approved several appointments at the December meeting including four

Georgia can broaden and enhance research efforts Chancellor H Dean Propst appealed to the state House Appropriations Committee for 245 million to complete a bioscience building Dr Propst who appeared before the committee on December 2 said the money was necessary to attract topquality scientists to the Athens school Were the 245 million allotted it would most likely come from the sale of bonds although it is possible that the projects funding might originate from the FY87 capital outlay budget DECEMBER 19865 FEATURE Psychologically fa were asked by sonikiy philosophical commie you actually live mic yc would say Right fad i klica Dr Edwin Joy and surgical team perform another intricate operation MCG Instructors Practice Makes Perfect Dr Edwin Joys surgery helps one young man reconstruct his life Dr Edwin D Joy is not in the pretty face business but his living handiwork gives pause to wonder Take Charles O Parrish 24 blond attractive a marketing manager Flashback to 1979 Parrish was 17 a young man unhappy with the form and function of his mouth He had a protruding lower jaw and a mandibular open bite Charles jaw was out but it was even worse because it was tipped so that only has back two teeth ever touched said Dr Joy chairman of the department of oral maxillofacial surgery at the Medical College of Georgia School of Dentistry So not only was Charles jaw forward but he also had an open bite You can imagine the stress on the joint of a person with two teeth coming together who is trying to chew Id try to eat pizza and the topping would come off and leave the crust there Parrish said So you end up using a fork in that case You have to improvise when you have that sort of problem A bologna sandwich was ridiculous Im sure I relied on one side of my mouth or two teeth to do the majority of my chewing There was no use of my front teeth whatsoever Parrishs parents Wilma and Vestal still marvel over the patience their only son showed in dealing with his problem Their sons encounter with oral surgeon Dr Joy was preceded by years of orthodontic work I cant remember when he wasnt going recalled Wilma Parrish From the time her sons teeth came in his mouth was filled with a variety of contraptions each designed to straighten the mess time was making out of his mouth Finally the orthodontist threw up his hands And thats when Dr Joy came into Parrishs life Parrishs father who was then working as a medical sociologist at the Medical College of Georgia quickly determined that Dr Joy was the man who could best use a new surgical procedure on his son Not surprisingly the idea of the surgery appealed to Parrish I was pretty selfconscious about it he remembers That was more of a reason for me a larger part of the reason I wanted the surgery than the functional 6 THE SYSTEM SUMMARY 1 i aspect I began to realize Hey something is wrong here This isnt normal Everybody doesnt have this problem Parrishs problem was caused largely by a lower jaw that did not stop growing Heredity might well have been a factor his mother said her mother and grandmother both had protrusive jaws although neither had it as severe as Parrish Dr Joy sees the results of continued jaw growth in the form of gummy smiles severe overbites and underbites He sees other deformities as well marked underdevelopment of the upper or lower jaw inadequately repaired facial traumas and new injuries that threaten future face form and function Psychologically your face is you Dr Joy said If you were to ask somebody in the philosophical conversation Where do you actually live inside your body what would you say Right behind your face If a person werent talking how could you tell whether he was happy or sad For people such as Parrish the face becomes a source of embarrassment I got to the point where I would keep my hand up around my face because I was selfconscious about this jaw that stuck way out he said So Dr Joy put his skills to work To close the open bite he took Parrishs upper back teeth and moved them up into the jaw thus eliminating some of the bone in the process Dr Joy then cut through the jaw and moved the lower jaw back a move that initially resulted in a thicker overlapped jawbone After the jawbone remodeled itself Parrishs mouth was wired y yface is you If you miify in a m tition Where do inc your body you it lmd your face Dr Edwin Joy dical College of Georgia together for six weeks Because orthodontic work is usually required before surgery Parrish already had his share before coming to the Medical College of Georgia dental school faculty have months to spend with patients before the operation A portion of that time is spent making sure patients arent expecting miracles and there are definitely changes in these patients The thing that is most striking is the personality changes we see in patients Dr Joy said People who think of themselves as attractive or are considered attractive by others are much more poised and much more willing to take social risks They are much more likely to be outgoing His female patients often start wearing makeup jewelry and spiffy hairstyles after surgery We didnt do that said Dr Joy All we did was make her see herself in a different way I would not have had the confidence in myself if I hadnt had the surgery Parrish said And without confidence I probably wouldnt have acted the way I did toward my superiors at work I probably wouldnt have gotten the position I have right now Parrish is now marketing manager in the Macon office of a telecommunications business where the responsibilities are good and the future is real good He still deems it necessary to eat pizza with a fork but now its by choice Reprinted with permission of the Medical College of Georgia GSC Student Sees Lights on Broadway Evan Smith may not be a household name yet but thats OK Neither were Neil Simon or Tennessee Williams or Andrew Lloyd Weber at age eighteen Already the freshman at Georgia Southern College has something in common with other famous playwrights A work of his was actually performed onstage in New York offBroadway Evans play Remedial English was one of three selected nationally for performance in the fifth annual Young Playwrights Festival It ran offBroadway in late Septemberearly October and Evan was invited to New York to participate in rehearsals script changes and finally the performance Remedial English has nothing to do with higher education in Georgia It is a tragicomedy about life at Cabrini Academy a Catholic high school and was described in one newspaper article as a slick first cousin to Ferris Bueller Ironically the playwright himself is a stranger to remedial courses Evan is currently enrolled in Georgia Southerns honors program and has high academic ambitions namely Yale Drama School Hes one of the great eccentrics says program director Hew Joiner and by attending Georgia Southern now he has a chance for adventure Judging from the critics comments Evans inaugural effort was a big success Edith Oliver who reviews offBroadway plays for The New Yorker magazine was one who praised the young talents work I loved it as a show Mrs Oliver said in a recent interview In my review I made no allowances for youth I dont take those things into consideration The New York Post and the Village Voice also reviewed Remedial

companies not dealing with South Africa Any money resulting in divestment will be reinvested elsewhere by the Systems Treasurer All of the money that was invested was bequeathed to us said Jake Wamsley vice chancellor for fiscal affairs No state funds or student fees were invested The decision to divest followed debate in committee We took responsibility as trustees to invest this money said Regent Arthur Gignilliat We intended to review the investments after 12 months land I think it is a responsible and fiscally prudent move Its time to sell Regent Lloyd Summer who chairs the finance committee cast the dissenting vote in committee I feel like its a big mistake to pull what I consider good resources in South Africa Summer contended If the companies comply with the Sullivan Principles there is nothing wrong with the investments Keeping them there would be best for American business interests m Resolution thE uN1 ber 101986 does Jnt foldings m its v contain constantly its

grants contracts and gifts in 198586 a 12 percent increase over last year Leading the pack this year was Fort Valley State College which posted 51 million total funds received or one third of the senior college total Georgia Southern College received the most 16 million in the instruction category most of which was channeled to continuing education At Fort Valley State land grants totaling almost 3 million comprised the majority of research funds received The Regents also voted in December to reaffirm cooperative education agreements between Fort Valley State and the US Departments of Energy and Interior Three other schools showed significant changes from last year Armstrong State grew from 57000 to almost 300000 and Georgia College went from 193000 to 780000 Columbus College sustained a decline from 434000 to 138000 The chart below details this years awards The Southern College of Technology is showing a new face these days now that the Board has approved a new seal for the school to accompany its recent name change Southern Tech is undergoing a transition explained President Stephen Cheshier We dont have 100 years of tradition so we wanted the seal to be more modern than most official seals We wanted to show that we are moving forward while being sensitive to the past After the colleges Student Government Association and Alumni Association Board of Directors each offered input an Atlanta public relations firm worked with the faculty senate to select an appropriate seal The new seal represents the schools history purpose faculty and students Each of the symbols on its face represents a specific quality or aspect unique to Southern Tech For example the rock shown on the seal is a reproduction of a campus landmark and represents the solidity and focus of the student body The new Age Discrimination in Employment Act passed by Congress in October prompted the Board to revise its policy on compulsory retirement Currently all University System employees must retire when they reach 70 years of age The new policy however lifts that requirement for everyone except tenured employees who still must retire at 70 Their mandatory retirement will be eliminated beginning in 1994 The new policy Section 802 of the Policy Manual is in accordance with the new law System officials are still discussing possible future changes in continued on page 10 SENIOR

Howard Jordan 19161986 Georgia Higher Education Loses A Champion Vice Chancellor for Services Dr Howard Jordan Dies Suddenly Perhaps the most extraordinary thing about Dr Howard Jordan was his personality It was infectious Somehow it seemed impossible to imagine him unhappy serious yes stern occasionally but unhappy never Anyone who knew Dr Jordan the benevolent vice chancellor for services who passed away Dec 2 knew he possessed that rare quality of making people feel good about their work about themselves A chance encounter always led to a few moments of conversation and invariably a feeling that he would rather do nothing else than talk with you The man exuded warmth He was accomplished too As the highest ranking minority in the University System Dr Jordan was instrumental in helping bring about the desegre gation of the System He also oversaw continuing education and other public service programs as well as the cooperative extension service Dr Jordan compiled a long and distinguished record of service to the University System said Chancellor Propst He was a personal friend of long standing His professional contributions to the System have been of great magnitude and he will be sorely missed Dr Jordan had served in his capacity since 1971 That year he suffered a massive heart attack and it was a heart attack that took him in December during his stay at Callaway Gardens on official business for the University System Prior to joining the System Dr Jor dan presided over Savannah State College for nine years He also enjoyed durable success as an instructor and administrator at South Carolina State College While at the school his alma mater he taught education and psychology for 21 years and served as dean of faculty and dean of the education school Dr Jordan was representative of the highest and best ideals to which a lifelong educator can aspire said Heniy Neal in a eulogy delivered at the December 10 meeting His numerous honors and awards and his noteworthy professional accomplishments are however but a small measure of the kind of man he was and his life of service to others DECEMBER 1986 11 UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA MEMBERS OF THE BOARD
