SPOTLIGHT ON. . .PAULETTE CANALE
10
For most people, changing jobs is a major move. For Paulette Canale,
it simply meant climbing an extra flight of stairs every day.
An accounting clerk in AC ' s Business Office for the past two years,
Paulette recently was appointed Personnel Assistant, a position held by
Charlye Moore for the past 12 years.
How the attractive and pert St. Louis, Missouri, native came to
Augusta, however, is a somewhat spicy story. It began when Paulette's
brother-in-law, who was stationed at Ft. Gordon, returned to his home in
California to try to convince his relatives to move to Augusta and
together open up an authentic Italian restaurant. The convincing worked,
the Canale's moved to Augusta, and Emilio's Restaurant was born.
Paulette and her husband Ralph, however, eventually pulled out, and
she went to work for Montgomery Ward's personnel office and he, an air-
craft mechanic, affiliated with Beech Aerospace Industries, Inc., with
offices at Bush Field.
An opening in the Business Office attracted her to AC and the rest, as
they say, is history.
The Canales are Columbia County residents and have two daughters,
Christine, 19, and Cynthia, 17. Christine will be getting married in March
and Cynthia is a junior at Evans High School.
With her parents, brother, and sister living in St. Louis, Paulette is
delighted to be so much closer to her loved ones. "When we were in
California, it was just so hard to get together," she said, adding St.
Louis is now "only a 14-hour trip."
Marrying into an Italian family was easy for the former Paulette
Debello. Her in-laws, who are now operating Emilio's on Washington Rd.,
include her parents-in-law Emilio and Jennie, and Alex Canale, her
brother-in-law.
AC CONDUCTING ATTITUDES AND OPINIONS POLL
AC researchers are seeking information on the attitudes and opinions of
Augusta residents on local, state, and national issues through a poll which
will be conducted January-March. Co-sponsored by the AC Re- search Center
and the Department of Sociology with support from the Augusta
Chronicle-Herald , the poll will be used by elected officials and leaders
from the private and public sectors to gain a better understanding of the
community and as a data base for planning and decision making. Trained
student interviewers will conduct the poll under faculty super- vision.
The poll's director is Dr. Robert Johnston of the Sociology Dept., and
participants include Dr. Ralph Walker, director of the AC Research Center,
and Ernestine Thompson, associate project director.
PORNOGRAPHY: YES OR NO?
The AC Political Science Club will host a forum to debate the question of
whether or not pornography should be allowed on Tuesday, January 17, from
12-1 p.m. in the Butler Hall Lecture Room. The panel will consist of
representatives from the Coalition Against Pornography, which will include
Phil Kent, editor of the Augusta Chronicle-Herald, David Hudson, a local
attorney, and Linda Brown, spokesperson for the Coalition. It will also
include a panel advocating protection under the First Amendment, which will
include Richard Brady, president of Centaur Corporation, and Gasten Ferry,
that company's attorney.

S.A.C.S. UPDATE

There will be an open faculty meeting on that day at 3 p.m. and the

SPOTLIGHT ON JERRY HAGERTY
If ever there was a job that combined the glamour of movie making with
the tedium of technical tasks, Jerry Hagerty has it. The work he does in
his role as Coordinator of Media Services and the Learning Resource Center
appears in such places as the front cover of AC ' s new Telephone Directory
and on Jones Intercable channel 12 in the form of The Clint Bryant Show.
A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Hagerty has been perfecting his art
since the 1960's when he worked at television and radio station WSAV in
Savannah. During the Vietnam era, he expanded his expertise in electronics
in the U.S. Navy. "I joined the Navy to avoid being drafted by the
Marines," Hagerty said, "and I was in Navy boot camp the day Nixon
abolished the draft." Hagerty received an honorable discharge in 1971.
Even Hagerty's spare time is devoted to his craft. He often spends
days off taking photos on behalf of the Hephzibah Nutrition Site (a social

shut-ins), where his wife, Linda, is manager. Other leisure time
activities include spending time with his boys, Russell, 6%, and- Michael,

SPOTLIGHT ON... JOE BOBROWSKAS
Joe Bsibrewskas, a new recruiter/counselor in the Admissions Office, is
about as close in age and interests to high school seniors and college
freshmen as a young man with a bachelor's degree can be. Joe graduated
with a degree in public relations from Troy State University, Troy,
Alabama, in fiarch 198S. "Because of my age, I'm able to relate easily to
the young people I work with: in fact, I have a lot of friends who are
students here. Joe interned in the admissions office at Troy State while
he was a student there, and he was delighted when he was hired to work in
the AC Admissions Office this past October. He had worked for a brief
period after graduation in a public relations firm in Atlanta. But,'' he
said, the atmosphere here is much more pleasant. I like the people I work
with, and I hope to be here a long time. This job provides a lot of
diversity; I get to meet students, faculty, and staff members, and I often
have to travel to places like Atlanta, so my job doesn't ever get boring." -
Traveling is something Joe got one big taste of in college. In the
summer of 1987, he went to Bangkok, Thailand, for 11 weeks. He was part of
a Campus Outraach group that taught English to students at a large national
university. (Campus Outreach is a non-danominational outreach ministry
based at Briarwood Presbyterian Church in Birmingham Alabama.) "It was a
great experience! A highlight of the summer was the week we spent in a
very rural province in northern Thailand,' he said. The food was not very
appetizing for an American and Joe lost 15 lbs. "1 never did gain it all
back,' he added. When asked about future ambitions, he said he'd like to
begin work next winter quarter on a master of science degree with a major
in psychology. He'd like to teach at the college level. 'Within the next
10 years or so, I'll possibly be teaching over- seas somewhere,'' he said.
NEW ADMISSIONS OFFICE TELEPHCNE NUMBER

SPOTLIGHT ON... FRANK NAGY
The newest face in AC's Counseling and Testing- Center is also bringing

Psychologist for the Center, has been at AC for five months and has
introduced group counseling to the many services o-ffered by the Center
for students. He said, "This is the first time interpersonal counseling
has been offered at AC. It includes sharing and role playing, and helps
people deal with their feelings. Often, there's a lot of scariness that
goes along with joining a group. We try to make it easier for people
to get over those fears." According to Nagy, two groups were started
during winter quarter and have elected to continue to meet during spring
quarter. A new group is also forming for spring quarter. Dr. Nagy is
a native of Torrington, Conn. He earned a Ph.D. in counseling from the
University of Florida at Gainesville, and his hobbies include tennis,
basketball and swimming. He said, "AC has been a very good experience
for me. I like the college atmosphere, and we have some excellent
professors. AC offers good academic programs for our students."

College.
Hurst joined AC in 1972, having worked five years in security before
accepting his current position. In his pre-AC days, Hurst worked for the
U.S. Postal Service after serving in the U.S. Army "20 years, 2 months,
and 18 days," where he was posted in Germany, Korea, Vietnam, Washington,
D.C. , and Ft. Gordon.
Hurst and his wife Carol have four children: Hugh, Lloyd Jr. (an AC
grad) , Jennifer (a senior at AC), and Allison. In his spare time, Hurst
enjoys playing golf and baseball, as well as watching sports on television

SPOTLIGHT ON... HAROLD MOON .
When Dr. Harold Moon was growing up on his family's farm in Columbus,
Georgia, he never dreamed he'd go from farm boy to college professor and
president of Psi Chi, a National Honor Society in Psychology. He said,
"When I was in high school, college didn't look like a very great
possibility for me. My family ran a dairy farm and we didn't have much
money. In my senior year, I talked with an admissions recruiter from
Georgia Southwestern College and decided I had saved enough war bonds to
pay for a couple years of College back then, expenses ware about $50 per
quarter."
It was the start of an academic career that finally led him to AC in
1972, but he has held many different jobs through the years. He worked for
a wholesale magazine company and as paymaster for a foundry and machine
company before entering the army in 1952. There, he served as cadre for a
basic training unit, as instructor for the chemical, biological, radio-
logical warfare school, and finally made sergeant for finishing the
advanced NCO school in the top ten in his class. He also held positions in
hospitals and mental health centers, and did his clinical internship in the
Department of Psychiatry at the University of Tennessee Medical School.
Moon and his wife of 31 years, Kay, met at Auburn. He said, "She's
from New Orleans, and her grandmother wanted her to go to Auburn because
she heard they locked the freshmen .girls, up in the dorms at 7:30 p.m.
during the week." They have two children, ages 25 and 22.

EMPLOYEE RECOGNITION CEREMONY
A few comments on the new Employee Recognition Program to explain the
criteria for giving awards: The awards ceremony, held for the first time at
the annual fish fry, will be held every year and will honor those with
continuous years of full-time service beginning with 5 years and continuing
through 30 or more in increments of 5. While the College would have liked
to have recognized everyone's term of service, it was necessary to
establish who was currently celebrating 5, 10, 15, etc., years of service.
For example, an employee who has worked here continuously for nine years
will be honored next year with a ten-year award. Also, we wish to extend
many thanks to President Wallace, the President's Council, and the Deans
for their generous financial support. Without it, the recognition
ceremony could not have been held.
A THOROUGHLY PROPER SEMINAR

Protocol Seminar Friday, October 6, from 9 a.m. -1:30 p.m. Atlanta's Carson

business protocol. The seminar will conclude with a formal luncheon at the

FOR THE WEEKS OF NOVEMBER 20-DECEMB
AC Student Honored AC Sociology major Karen Finkelman had a difficult
time convincing the senior citizens she interviewed that she wasn't
selling anything as she collected data for her award winning research
paper. The paper, entitled "Tuition Waiver Programs: A Comparative
Study of Senior Citizen Students and Senior Citizens in the Augusta
Community," won the award for best undergraduate research paper at the
34th Annual Meeting of the Georgia Gerontological Association, held
recently in Albany, Georgia.
Mrs. Finkelman said, "One of the most difficult things about
doing the research was convincing the people I interviewed that I
wasn't selling anything. Many of them thought I was trying to get
them to go back to school, and it took some explaining to make them
understand all I wanted was to ask them some questions."
The paper addresses the subject of free college tuition for
senior citizens and the factors that cause some people to take advan-
tage of the program while others do not. Mrs. Finkelman has also been
invited to present the paper at the upcoming statewide student Geron-
tology Conference for Graduate and Undergraduate Research, to be held
at the university of Georgia in March.
