Gov. Zell Miller's Remarks

On January 5, Gov. Zell Miller de-
livered a speech to the joint appro-
priations committee. The speech
outlined his proposal for the FY93
supplemental budget and his pro-
posal for lottery proceeds in FY94.
Some highlights from his proposal
for the lottery proceeds:

The governor reiterated his pro-
posal for the HelpingOutstanding
Pupils Educationally (HOPE) pro-
gram all high school students
with a B average, whose families
earn $66,000 or less per year, get
free tuition at a University System
institution where they have been
accepted. Freshmen with a B aver-
age get tuition for their sophomore
year.

The governor recommended that
all schools, including University
System institutions, should be
equipped with a satellite dish to
participate in distance learning.

A $7.5 million proposal to create
an "equipment, technology and
construction fund" for the Univer-
sity System. The money would be
used to generate private matching
funds, creating a total of $15 mil-
lion. The chancellor's office will
develop guidelines for institutions
to submit project proposals for the
fund. "I want to double or triple
this fund once the lottery is up and
running," the governor added.

Regents Changes

Reapportionment, a new congressional district and the expir<

Legislative Update

Chancellor Urges Legislators to Support
Governor's Request

Chancellor H. Dean Propst has echoed
Gov. Zell Miller's FY94 funding pro-
posals for the University System and
urged state lawmakers to back the
governor's request.

In a talk before the joint appropria-
tions committee Jan. 28, the chancel-
lor called the governor's recommen-
dations "comprehensive and support-
ive." He assured lawmakers that in-
vestments made in the University Sys-
tem will pay "great dividends in the
enhancement of the state's welfare."

Time restrictions mandated a
briefer appearance for the chan-
cellor than in previous years. As
a result, he touched on only a few
of the System's highlights over
the past year, such as enrollment
increases and national rankings. He
focused on the governor's requests
during the remainder of his address.

Included in the governor' s recommen-
dations are funds for an average 2
percent salary increase for all System
employees a proposal Chancellor
Propst called "critical" and more
than $80 million in bonds for three
capital construction projects.

The chancellor also reminded the leg-
islators that some "budgetary
issues .. .of concern" were not included

in the governor's budget recommen-
dations, among them:

improvements for other orga-
nized activities

$3.2 million in the Special
Funding Initiative to expand nursing
and health care programs ($2 million)
and to continue developing Georgia
Southern as aregional university ($1.2
million)

A $2.5 million indoor recre-
ational facility at the Southern College
of Technology, a revenue payback
project

$75 million in "unrestored
formula reductions," which the chan-
cellor said has a "negative and cumu-
lative impact," along with the "con-
tinuing problem" with the System's

Did You Know?

There are 1,304 more female students than male students en-
rolled at AC this quarter. The total count is 3,350 females and
2,046 males. There are 604 students from other states and 55 from
other countries.

Everyone who has visited the History Department has noticed one cheerful
constant in the office. Kaye Keel has been the senior secretary there for the
26 years.

Kaye is originally from Belvedere, South Carolina, and she and her

husband James still reside there. They attend Pine Forest Baptist

Church in Langley, and they have two dogs named Tinker and Jennie.

Her idea of a perfect day would be one filled with sunshine so she could work

in the yard and play with her puppies. She likes to work in her herb garden,

collect cook books and cook

She is a charter member and past president of the Higher Education Office Personnel Association
(HEOPA) and is presently a member of the Ways & Means committee for HEOPA. Kaye also served
on the Budget Planning Committee for the college.

Working in the History Department has rubbed off on her because she is currently a sophomore, majoring
in history. According to her, she has taken advantage of the Educational Incentive Program (EIP) to attend
classes ever since it was developed in 1987.

On a part-time basis, Kaye lectures to Weight Watchers classes once a week in North Augusta. Inspired by her
own weight loss, she truly enjoys helping others to meet their personal goals regarding weight loss. "I do things
I enjoy and I think that it is so important to be happy with what you are doing," she commented.

According to a study by Dr. Charles Case (Sociology), feminist
humor is a new trend. His study, "Feminist humor & Ideological
Warfare," examines the effect feminist humor and male bashing
humor may have on society. Since he started working on the
project, he has collected more than 1,000 examples of this form
of humor. Humor reflecting the quest for equality is nothing
new, he said. Minorities and religious groups have dealt with
the problem of derogatory humor for years. On the positive side,
jokes reflect societal fears and tensions, and laughing somehow
makes those fears less frightening, he said.

The major health problem for minorities in the U.S. is the
inaccessibility of health insurance, according to a minority
faculty member in the Dept. of Nursing. Charlotte R. Price said
that among the black population, 18 percent have no health
insurance. She also said that blacks are at greater risk for TB,
AIDS, and cancer, and that the infant mortality rate is a lot higher
among blacks than among the whole American population.

The time needed to earn a Master of Business Administration
degree at AC for those not holding a business degree has been
chopped in half, thanks to a restructuring of the program. Meg
Birdseye, Ph.D., director of graduate studies, said that non-
business graduates will now have to take only five prerequisite
classes instead of ten. This will mean a significant cut in the time
needed to earn the coveted degree.

A certain amount of stress is necessary in everyone's life in order
to accomplish goals, but when the level of stress becomes too
great, a person's system can overload, according to Ginny Luke
(Counseling & Testing). Health problems such as high blood
pressure and heart disease can result, she said. When a person
is "run down," he or she is much more susceptible to sickness, the
counseling psychologist said. Having someone to talk to can
make an enormous difference in coping with the everyday stress
of living, she said.

Legislative Update

Lawmakers Propose Two System
Committees To Study Needs

Improving the System's research
capabilities, helping the disabled
and a ttracting top scholars to Geor-
gia are the chief aims of a new
study committee being proposed
by some members of the house
and senate.

Under HR 117, the house would
create the panel called the Uni-
versity System Laboratory, Equip-

ment, Rehabilita-
tion Technology
and Eminent
Scholars Endow-
ment Study Com-
mittee to rec-
ommend fund-
ing and legisla-
tion to meet those
objectives.

A similar resolution (SR 18) was
put forth in the senate earlier this
month to create a University Sys-
tem Laboratory, Equipment and
Technology Study Committee.
Both resolutions are being consid-
ered by the rules committees in
their respective chambers.

The house resolution proposes tha t

the special committee have nine
members appointed by the
Speaker. The committee would
"conduct a thorough study of the
University System laboratory and
equipment needs and library re-
search facilities needs."
The study would also include the
cost of purchasing equipment and
supplies needed to attract high-
tech industries and to "meet the
needs of handicapped citizens."

'The committee is further autho-
rized to study incentive programs
for the funding of faculty chairs, to
enable the universities of this state
to compete more successfully for
the best scholars and teachers avail-
able," according to the resolution.

A Taxing Situation

The Department of Accounting, Economics and Finance will sponsor free tax help for people in the community
with basic tax returns, particularly elderly, handicapped and low-income taxpayers. The Volunteer Income Tax
Assistance (VITA) program will be held on two Saturdays, Feb. 27 and March 6 from 2-5:30 p.m. in Room 10
of Market Hall. There is no charge for the service, according to Dr. Bill Dowling,departmentchair. JoeyStyron,
assistant professor of accounting, will be the site director. Contact the department for further information.

If the criterion for retiring were looking old enough, rather than
number of years of service and age, Thelma DeLoach wouldn't
be allowed to retire. Her youthful, cheerful appearance and de-
meanor will be sorely missed around a campus that has been graced
with her presence for 29 years and three months. She has worked at
AC in a counselor's office, the Office of Admissions, the Department
of Sociology, and, since 1987, in the Vice President's Office in Boykin-
Wright Hall.

The secretary to the Vice President for Student Affairs will be retiring at the end of March after a long
career at AC.

Thelma is married to Calvin DeLoach, who retired three years ago, and they have a daughter, Debbie,
a son, Stuart, and a three-month-old granddaughter, Callie. Thelma said she can't wait to have more time
to enjoy her granddaughter, who has "the most gorgeous blue eyes."

She likes to go to the beach, to Las Vegas occasionally, and to her daughter's house on Wadamalaw Island, near
Charleston, S.C. "I love the outdoors, and I think spring will be the perfect time to retire," she said. She walks
two to three miles several times a week when possible and often walks at the PE/Athletic Complex in bad or
extremely hot weather.

Thelma is a native of Augusta and has watched the city and Augusta College change through the years. "I enjoy
talking with Dean (Roscoe) Williams (also a local native) about how things used to be in Augusta," she said. "I
am going to miss Dean Williams and Dr. Barnabei," she said. 'They are two very good men to work for."

Legislation

The senate has passed SB 70,
which requires all state agencies
(except the governor's office and
the judicial branch) to include
phone numbers on stationery. The
bill differs from HB 82, a bill passed
by the house that requires fax num-
bers to be included on stationery
in addition to phone numbers. HB
82 is now in the sena te government
operations committee, while SB 70
is currently being considered by
the house state planning and com-
munity affairs committee.

HB 618 would drop the $25 regis-
tration fee required for special li-
cense plates commemorating col-
leges and universities. STATUS:
In motor vehicles committee.

HB 600 would require agencies to notify, in writing, media about
upcoming meetings if the county legal organ is published less than
four times weekly. Notification must be made within 24 hours of the
called meeting. STATUS: In judiciary committee.

HB 725 would formally recognize three legitimate American
Indian tribes in Georgia. STATUS: In house committee.

Follow Up

HB 351, which would have raised the reimbursement rate for
business travel by state employees to 22.5 cents per mile, was
defeated in the house. The sponsors are requesting that the bill be
reconsidered.

HB 463, which would transfer the functions of the State Library
Commission to the director of the University of Georgia libraries,
and HB 254, which would exempt certain archival records from
public disclosure, have both been favorably reported by their
respective committees.

HR 57, which urges the Regents to "promote the status of one or
more black colleges to the university level," and HR 60, which
directs the Regents to study the need for a four-year college in
Gordon County, are still in the University System committee.

Legislative Update

Senate ponders house legislation
affecting University System

A bill to require prisoners and in-
dividuals on probation to partici-
pate in adult education courses is
among the University System-re-
lated legislation approved by the
house and now being considered
by the senate.

Under HB 191, prisoners and
newly probated prisoners would
have to complete courses equiva-
lent to a fifth grade "competency
level." The bill passed the house
on February 22 and is now in the
senate corrections committee.

The senate education committee is
considering HB 429, which would
amend a current law to allow
school boards "to provide scholar-
ships, loans, or both for
postsecondary education." The bill
passed the house on Feb. 19.

Finally, the senate higher educa-
tion committee is considering HR
126, which urges the promotion of
faculty development initiatives in
gerontology and geriatrics. Iturges
the establishment of a centralized
clearinghouse for information
about course work, programs and
careers in the field of aging.

Resolution calls for
new programs

A resolution sponsored by
members of the Cobb County
delegation urges the Board of
Regents to establish new pro-
grams at Kennesaw State College.

HR 347, which is currently await-
ing committee assignment, urges
the Board of Regents to expand
graduate programs in education
at Kennesaw State. The resolution
notes that "statistics indicate the
state of Georgia and the nation
may expect a dramatic increase in
the demand for teachers who have
graduate-level training."

Follow Up

HB 522, which would change the
open records law to exempt infor-
mation about human research sub-
jects or privately sponsored re-
search from being disclosed, re-
ceived a favorable report from the
senate higher education commit-
tee. It has already passed the house.

The house has passed HB 600,
which would require agencies to
notify (in writing) media about
upcoming meetings if the county
legal organ is published less than
four times weekly. The bill is now
in the senate judiciary committee.

The senate higher education com-
mittee has favorably reported HB
463, which would transfer the func-
tions of the State Library Commis-

sion to the director of the Univer-
sity oi Georgia libraries.

The senate passed SB 271, which
would create a Georgia Historical
Records Advisory Board to serve
as the state advisory body required
by federal granting agencies, on
Feb. 24. It is now in the house state
planning and community affairs
committee.

The health and ecology committee
in the house gave a favorable re-
port to HB 319 on Feb. 26. The bill
would prohibit smoking in build-
ings cwned by state government
in which state offices are located.

After going down in defeat, HB
351 was resurrected and passed by
the house on Feb. 16. The bill,
which would raise the reimburse-
ment rate for business travel by
state employees to 22.5 cents per
mile, is now in the senate appro-
priations committee.

Stuff Profile!

In 1978, after four years of working in the Procurement Office, Cookie Eubanks left to start a
family. Seven years later, she returned to the same desk in the same position after her son started
kindergarten.

All together, the procurement assistant has been with the college for 12
years. She's been able to balance work and family, an achievement she sees
largely as the result of excellent fringe benefits and caring supervisors.

former Mary Jones of Aiken, S.C, has been "Cookie" for as long as she can remember.
"The name came from my dad...when he came home from work at night he would always ask where
his little cookie was."

'The graduate of Aiken High School is one of nine surviving children, all of whom live in and around the Aiken
and North Augusta area. The holidays, she said, are "absolute bedlam." Her mother, Miriam Jones of Aiken,
has 26 grandchildren.

Her husband James has been a salesman at Sears for as long as they have been married 25 years. They have two
'children, Stacey, 23, an MCG employee, and Darren, who'll turn 14 in March and is an eighth-grader at Paul Knox Middle
School.

After graduating from high school, she worked for Blanchard & Calhoun for two years until Stacey was born. She stayed home
until Stacey was four and then joined AC on a temporary basis working stints in the Fine Arts Department and the
Department of Education. She joined Procurement in 1974 and worked there for five years before quitting to continue her
family.

Her primary responsibilities are the areas of telecommunications and contract maintenance. "In the past three weeks, we've
had to put in about a dozen new lines for the new OASIS system," she said. She also backs up co-worker Barbara Johnson
in her purchasing work. "We're cross-trained and can help each other out," she said.

Cookie enjoys cross-stitching, needlepoint, collecting cream and sugar dishes, taking one-day trips by herself, church
functions, and her son's baseball activities.

She's currently preparing him for the rigors of high school. "He brought all his paperwork home to prepare his schedule for
next year," she said, adding, "I went to orientation and he went to a ball game."

'I'm going to have a tough time in high school," she smiled.

The Counseling & TestingCen-
ter will present Choosing a
Career for the 90's on Thurs-
day, March 11, at noon in

designed to explore career pos-
sibilities for the future and to

A strange streak of light in the

what exactly they had witnessed.
According to Fred Bowsher,

quickly ruled out the possibility
of falling space equipment and
also eliminated notions of U.F.Os.
According to him, it had all the
characteristics of a larger-than-

Acting Executive
Director Named

Helen Hendee, director of development
since 1985, has been named acting executive
director of development. The position, responsible
for all development, public relations and alumni
activities, was formerly held by William J. Messina
who left AC last year. Since August, J.K. "Jack"
Widener Jr. has been assisting Acting President
Martha Farmer in the overall area of institutional
advancement as acting director of college rela-
tions. Widener will continue in his role as vice-
chairman of the AC Foundation and, in addition, he
will continue to serve as an adviser on special
projects at the request of Dr. Farmer.

Hendee has served in a number of other
capacities over the years. After graduating from AC
in 1970, she became assistant coordinator of stu-
dent activities. After receiving a master's degree
from the University of Georgia, she joined Catawba
College (North Carolina) as director of the student
center and adviser to women students. She re-
turned to AC in 1976 as the coordinator of alumni
affairs. She left the college in 1977 to enter private
industry and returned eight years later as director
of development.

The Board voted unani-
mously to create a "learning sup-
port" umbrella on all campuses that
would encompass developmental
studies and academic assistance
programs.

Developmental studies will
still be required for students who
fail to meet the System's minimum
entrance requirements of 350 on
either portion of the SAT or who fail
to score a 75 on the Collegiate
Placement Exam. And colleges can
still require developmental studies
for students who score above the
System's minimum.

But institutions may also cre-
ate academic assistance programs
for students who ask for additional
help or who fail to meet the
institution's minimum standards.

The decision which came
somewhat unexpectedly, since the
issue had been slated as a discus-
sion item capped nearly six
months of study by a special com-
mittee set up by the Regents. The
group issued its report last July,
finding that a significant number of
students scored too high for devel-
opmental studies placement but still
needed help before taking college
classes.

Vice Chancellor Peter Hoff,
who appointed the committee,
stressed that the change would elimi-
nate some of the "red tape" associ-
ated with the current policy and
would improve the reporting of the
number of remedial students.

"The reporting will be clear
and unambiguous," he said,

"whereas before we were counting
developmental studies students right
along with freshmen, sophomores
and so forth. It was like counting
apples and oranges at once."

Some Regents expressed
concern whether remediation con-
stitutes the best use of state money
and whether the University System
ought to be picking up the tab for
students who come to college un-
prepared for the work.

Chancellor H. Dean Propst
said the new policy does not mean
the University System is redefining
remedial work.

R&D funding faces
uncertain future

Although Georgia's public
universities rank second in the South
last year in R & D funding, they will
face mounting pressures in the years
to come, two research officials told
the Regents this month.

Bill Juras

If you have questions about your computer,
Bill Juras is one of the staff in the Computer Services
Department that can help. As a computer specialist, it's
his job to solve computer problems around campus for
staff, faculty and students as well as to teach others to use the
computer. He has been employed by AC for two years.

Bill graduated from Augusta Col-
lege with a degree that is a bit
different from his current posi-
tion. He earned his BA. in Music
in 1988, under the tutelage of
William Toole whom he calls his
mentor. He is currently pursuing
a second bachelor's degree in
computer science.

His passion for music has al-
lowed him the opportunity to
perform in several college and
community musical productions.
He sang in The Pirates of
Penzance, La Traviata and La
Boheme with the Augusta Opera
and performed in Boys from Syra-
cuse, HM.S. Pinafore and Trial
By Jury on campus. He is active
with the Colegium Musicum
which he describes as a small
vocal ensemble consisting of com-
munity and Augusta College
graduates.

He and his wife, Gabriele, met
while students at Augusta Col-
lege and have been married for
the past five years. They have
three children Will (12),
Jonathan (4) and Kathryn (2). Bill
and Gabriele are members of the

St. Mary's Catholic Church choir
and active member of the
Montclair Homeowners Associa-
tion. And Bill is especially proud
of his son Will's achievements at
Davison Fine Arts School.

He enjoys bike riding, good mu-
sic and his job he says he loves
computing! Bill is also an ama-
teur geologist and has collected
minerals from the many places
he's visited around the world
during his ten years with the Air
Force. According to him, his
collection spans four continents.

As a self-described Army brat, Bill
says he "grew up around the
world." He was born in
Fontainebleau, France in a con-
verted hospital that had once
been Napoleon's stables. And
according to Bill, he is partially
fluent in German and can speak
an obscure dialect of the
Phillipines.

After all his world travels, Au-
gusta has become home for Bill
and his family. "I like the Augusta
area. I feel comfortable here," he
said contentedly.

The AC Concert Choir, Cham-
ber Choir and Youth Orchestra
will present their Winter Con-
cert on Sunday, March 28, at 3

various countries including
the United States, Great Brit-
ain and the former Soviet
Union. Kafka will

System News

''^ v

"There is no question that
the research infrastructure has dete-
riorated in recent years, and gov-
ernment support for research is
likely to decrease," said Joseph Key,
vice president for research at the
University of Georgia.

The institutions' ability to
recover overhead costs for grants
and contracts, he added, will likely
be hindered this year by a cap
imposed by the federal govern-
ment a factor that will mean less
income to support research in the
University System.

Basic research is the area
most threatened by changes and
officials should not give up support
for basic research in their zeal to get
a tangible return on every research
dollar, Dr. Key said.

Dr. Key's remarks followed
a presentation by Cleon Arlington,
vice president for research at Geor-
gia State, who reported on the
System's external funding for FY92.

Peach Belt Announces
AC As Tournament Site

The Peach Belt Athletic Conference has
awarded the men's and women's basket-
ball tournament to Augusta College for
two more years. Dr. Martha Farmer, acting
president, extended an invitation for AC to
host the 1994 and 1995 tournaments to the
Peach Belt Board of Directors during meet-
ings at this year's tournament. Dr. Olin
Sansbury, Chancellor of USC Spartanburg
and president of the conference, accepted
the invitation from Dr. Farmer. The con-
ference plans to increase the involvement
of USC Aiken as a co-host for the tourna-
ment.

"From the USC Aiken perspective, we are
delighted with the decision," said Dr. Rob-
ert Alexander, chancellor, USC-Aiken. Dr.
Sansbury said everyone was impressed with
the first two years of the tournament at
Augusta College. "The planning and sup-
port of AC as well as the Augusta commu-
nity played an important role in our deci-
sion to return the tournament to Augusta
for the next two years."

Legislative Update

Lawmakers Vote $904 Million for
Resident Instruction

Lawmakers allotted more than
$904.4 million in resident instruc-
tion for next year, a package that has
an emphasis on research and tech-
nology advancement and represents
$35.3 million in new money for en-
rollment growth.

Salary increases averaging 2 percent
and a record amount of bond fund-
ing for buildings are among the key
components of the System's FY 94
budget, approved by the General
Assembly.

The Board of Regents will vote on a
salary administration policy this
month at its meeting in Bainbridge.
Last year, the Board gave institu-
tions the authority to award pay in-
creases ranging from to 4 percent.

Among the construction projects ap-
proved by lawmakers are three items
on the Regents capital priority list
totaling $80. 1 million a children's
medical center at MGG, compre-
hensive agricultural livestock/poul-
try facilities at UGA and a
biocontainment research center at
UGA.

In addition, the legislature approved
$27.8 million in bonds for major
repairs in the System; $113 million
in bonds for student housing at Geor-
gia Tech (to be used as part of the
Olympic Village); and $16.5 million
in bonds for parking decks at Geor-
gia Tech and Georgia State, a dor-
mitory at Gordon College and an
indoor recreational facility at South-
ern Tech.

In other construction-related
funding, the General Assembly
authorized $3.4 million in bonds
for laboratory development un-
der the Georgia Research Alli-
ance and $300,000 for an exercise
facility at Middle Georgia College.

Money raised from the Georgia lot-
tery will also go to fund some Uni-
versity System activities and
projects:

* $39 million for the governor's
HOPE scholarship program;

* $1 0.2 million to buy research equip-
ment for the Georgia Research Alli-
ance;

* $6.5 million to establish an equip-
ment, technology and construction
trust fund;

* $1 million for educational and ag-
ricultural research; and

* $400,000 to buy and install satel-
lite dishes on all System campuses.

Under the budget bill, the Special
Funding Initiative was funded to
expand nursing programs and to fund
changes of status for some institu-
tion.

Lawmakers approved $1.4 million
to broaden nursing offerings, of
which $400,000 is slated to establish
a nursing program at Fort Valley
State College.

For changes of status, $750,000 was
allocated for Georgia Southern to
continue developing graduate pro-
grams and $1.5 million is slated for
several items: to continue convert-

ing Valdosta State to a regional uni-
versity; to initiate the conversion of
West Georgia to regional university;
to "study and evaluate the feasibil-
ity" of converting Columbus Col-
lege and Fort Valley State to re-
gional universities; and to "evaluate
the conversion" of Macon College
to four-year status.

Other significant elements in the
System's FY 94 appropriation in-
clude $6.9 million to the Georgia
Research Alliance to fund eminent
scholars and research grants.

If s the law when governor
signs bills

The following bills will become law
once the governor signs off:
*SB 70, which requires all state agen-
cies to include fax numbers of their
stationery;

Several resolutions also cleared the
chambers before the end of the ses-
sion:

HR 126, which urges more faculty
development initiatives in geron-
tology and geriatrics and the cre-
ation of a centralized clearinghouse
for information on aging; HR 57,
which asks the Regents to elevate
one or more traditionally black insti-
tutions to regional university status;
and HR 117, which creates a

Systemwide study committee on
laboratory equipment, rehabilitation
technology and eminent scholars.

Cheryl Brodie-Scott

Helping people comes natural to Cheryl Brodie-Scott.
As the Instructional Resource Coordinator for the
School of Education, Cheryl keeps contentedly busy
by helping students locate materials they need for
assignments. According to her, "it's just part of my
nature to help others."

Cheryl is from Augusta and has
been with the college for almost
13 years. She is married to
Jennings Scott and they have two
daughters, Ashlyn (21) and Amy
(17). She also has a blonde cocker
spaniel named Christy, but ac-
cording to Cheryl, she calls her
dog "Booty" because that's what
the dog likes to shake.

Cheryl began her career as a
teacher in 1972 after obtaining
her B.S. degree from the Univer-
sity of Tennessee in Knoxville.
She received her M.S. degree in
psychology with a major field in-
terest in health psychology from
AC. "I'm fascinated with how the
mind affects the body. I had
many family members with health
problems and I wondered about
the connection between environ-
ment and diet," she commented.

Her idea of a perfect day would be
to be at the beach with family and
friends. She does, however, stipu-
late the temperature would have
to be higher than 80 degrees be-
cause she hates cold weather.

Her hobbies include reading, gar-
dening, playing bridge, dancing,
riding bicycles and listening to
good music. Cheryl gets up every
morning at 4 a.m. to meditate
once again the mind-body con-
nection playing an important role
in her life. She says she is plan-
ning to take aT'ai Chi Chih course
and that she studies eastern phi-
losophy and medical health prac-
tices.

"I like working at Augusta Col-
lege because it's small enough to
give students individual atten-
tion," she added.

The Bookstore will celebrate Greek Day on Wednesday, April 14 by taking ten percent off of all Greek items... For
National Secretary 's Week (April 19-25) the bookstore has all kind of gift items that may be of interest including balloons,

Regents OK Pay Raises

Tutition, Fee Hikes Also Approved

Using funds sufficient for an average
two percent salary increase, institu-
tions may award pay raises ranging
from to 4 percent next year, accord-
ing to a policy approved by the Regents
this month.

The salary administration policy, which
awards raises based on merit, also gives
institutions some flexibility in handling
salary increases. Raises exceeding 4
percent must have the chancellor's ap-
proval and must be a result of promo-
tion, equity adjustment or market con-
ditions.

Regents also voted to raise
student tuition by 3 per-
cent beginning summer
quarter.

"This increase is the lowest we've seen
in 15 years," said Chancellor H. Dean
Propst, who added that the amount of
the tuition hike is tied to last year's
salary increase of 3 percent Georgia's
increase is the lowest among six south-
ern states that have already decided
tuition hikes for next year.

In other budget-related
matters, the Regents:

* Approved raising activity and/or ath-
letic fees at 15 institutions and health
fees atfour of the 16 institutions charg-
ing a health fee. The University of
Georgia and Georgia Tech also in-
creased transportation fees, and Geor-
gia Southwestern will begin charging a
$10 computer lab fee.

*Reviewed tentative allocations for
each institution in advance of their be-
ing sent to the colleges and universi-
ties. The Board's finance and business
committees will approve final alloca-
tions for FY94 at a special meeting May
3 in Atlanta.

*Approved a 10 percent increase in
employer's contributions to the health
benefits plans. Coupled with a zero
increase in employee's contributions,
the action reduces the employee's
share of payinghealth insurance costs,
from 20.4 percent to 18.9 percent

In addition to voting on
financial items, the Board
reviewed progress made
in the revision of the Uni-
versity System's long-
range plan.

The Strategic Planning Advisory Com-
mittee has surveyed faculty and the
general public, and eight work groups
have been exploring various tenets of
the plan, explained Haskin Pounds,
vice chancellor for research and plan-
ning. The revisions are expected to be
finished in June.

In a discussion following Dr. Pounds'
presentation, the Regents decided to
hold a retreat in the near future, at
which they could review a number of
the issues facing the System includ-
ing changes of status for institutions.

"Institutions may grant merit
salary increases to empoyees in
the range of and 4 percent.
Increases above 4 percent must
be approved by the Chancellor
and will only be considered for
reasons of promotion, equity
adjustments and market condi-
tions.

Institutions may use funds from
vacant positions and other like
means to grant salary increases.
The amount and source of these
funds must be approved in ad-
vance by the Chancellor. This
approval must be granted be-
fore individual salary increases
are approved."

Other April news...

In other action this month, the Re-
gents:

* Tabled a proposed three-year "ex-
perimental program" authorizing Sys-
tem institutions to accept general edu-
cation course credits from any of the
state's seven technical institutes ac-
credited by the Commission on Col-
leges. The matter will be addressed at
a future Regents meeting;

* Approved the administrative reorga-
nization of Columbus College and the

lege of Education;

* Approved the creation of a marketing

Health plans to be
merged, revamped

In a move designed to streamline costs,
the Regents voted to merge all four
health insurance plans covering Sys-
tem employees into a single plan and
directed the central office to redesign
the new single plan so that employees
may choose from levels of coverage.

The action, which was somewhat un-
expected, followed a report on a
consultant's review of the Regents plan
and plans at the University of Georgia,
the Medical College of Georgia and
Augusta College.

The consultant, William M. Mercer,
Inc., offered six recommendations for
fine-tuning the four plans, including
the merger of Augusta College's ben-
efits package under the System's plan.
But the Regents took the consultant's
suggestions one step further by merg-
ing the four and requesting that a single
revamped plan be developed by Janu-
ary 1, 1994.

In its report, Mercer found that the
cost per employee was higher under

Sandhills Conference Set

Robert Williams

Robert Williams, the Assistant Director of Admissions and Minority
Recruitment Advisor, has worked at AC since 1988. His job includes traveling
around the state (he's logged some 13,000 miles in four years) visiting high schools
and junior colleges to recruit students as a part of PROBE, a concerted effort of the
Georgia Education Articulation Committee (GEAC) to familiarize students with
college options.

He also visits junior high schools, as part of a statewide effort called PROBE
Choice, to tell 10th graders what "life after high school" is all about.

Robert coordinates the annual Counselors' Luncheon for high school
counselors, the High School Principals' Luncheon, the non-traditional student
drop-ins, and Quick Decision Day. He conducts tours of the campus and handles
recruiting for the Summer Scholars Program. In addition, he evaluates transcripts
of applicants for admission and interviews prospective students.

When he's not busy at AC, he's spending time with his wife and two
children, aged four and nine ("my most important role") , or working at the Baptist
church he started in Augusta 18 months ago. He's a Southern Baptist minister and
a 'church planter* (starter) . The church has around 75 members, but closer to 100
are affiliated with it

Robert's favorite hobby is automotive mechanics, which helped support
his young family and put him through graduate school. He began working in his
father's automotive shop at a young age. In graduate school he spent nine hours
a day in class. "Being a student, husband, father, and mechanic during that time
taught me a lot about time management!" he said. Robert earned a B.S. at Luther
Rice Bible College and an M.Div. at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary.

The Augusta College Foundation has been awarded
a $72,000 grant from the BellSouth Foundation for
a comprehensive faculty development effort. The
purpose is to integrate and internationalize the cur-
riculum. The announcement was made by Merle
Temple, district manager of corporate and external
affairs for BellSouth. The two-year grant will en-
able the college to implement "the most extensive
cross-campus faculty development program we've
ever had," said Acting President Martha K. Farmer.
Dr. Helen Callahan and Dr. Jonathan Leightner will
co-direct the project which will begin this fall. The
grant will permit release time for the directors and
for 1 6 faculty members to participate each year. The

&Q

College will create a network of professors from each
of its schools to study key concepts from three areas
the core curriculum, global perspectives and the "great
questions" (issues involving ethics, philosophies, and
meaning in career and personal activities). Temple
said the grant "demonstrates BellSouth Foundation's
continued commitment to faculty development in higher
education. Dr. Farmer said to the best of her knowl-
edge, "no other traditional college has attempted this
type of extensive effort to integrate and international-
ize its curriculum. She said because it uses AC'S own
professors it has a great potential for creating an
internal network

NANcy ChildERS

Augusta College has been a part of Nancy Childers' life for about as long as she
can remember.

The former Nancy Goolsby of Lincolnton, Ga. recalls coming to campus "many
times as a little girl" with her mother, Doris Wilkinson Goolsby. Mrs. Goolsby decided to
start college in mid-life with a full-time job and two young children.

Mom's tenacity paid off. She went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1974 and
a Master of Education degree in 1978. Nancy graduated from AC two years later with a
Bachelor of Business Administration degree with an emphasis in Business Education
Teaching. She was also the recipient of the Business Education/Executive Secretarial Award
for the highest GPA in that field.

While looking for a teaching job, her friend Carolyn Kershner told her that her
secretarial position would be opening in the School of Business Administration. (Carolyn
was leaving to accept the position of secretary to the dean of Arts and Sciences.)

Nancy got the job in 1982 and two years later became the secretary to the dean of
the Business School. In 1989, she was named secretary to the president For over two years
until his death in July of 199 1 , she was Dr. Richard Wallace' s right-hand person. In August
of that year, she became the secretary to her former boss in the Business School, Acting
President Martha K. Farmer.

Of her secretary, Dr. Fanner said, "she's very professional, very thorough and a
perfectionist. She knows what's right and what's wrong and has a very strong internal value
system. She has an unusually good feel for the big picture and that's one of the reasons she's
able to make the contributions that she does to the institution and to the office."

She admits the job carries with it a significant amount of stress. "You're expected
to be all things to all people. You have to know a little bit about everything."

One of the rewards of the job, she said, is being able to exercise her own judgment.
"I really enjoy being able to work out problems before they get to the president," she said.

Her life outside AC is wrapped around her husband of nine years, Don, sales
manager for Home-Folks Wholesale. Her other familial interests include her step-son
Donnie, aniece, nephew, cousin and, of course, her cocker spaniel, Buffy. Her parents, now
retired, still live in Lincolnton.

She enjoys singing in the choir at Asbury United Methodist Church and is a
volunteer at Augusta Urban Ministries. In addition, she has been asked to serve on the
Humane Society Board. She's also taught typing and shorthand for the public as well as for
First Union and the Augusta Police Dept., all through the Continuing Education Office.
Nancy is also a charter member of the AC chapter of HEOPA.

Regents Respond to Criticism Over
Delays in Design and Construction

*f m .

0f %ws*

A desire to accel-
erate the design
and construction
process for Uni-
versity System
projects led the
Regents this
month to call for

change in the way the System builds

1 facilities.

The move followed criticism from Gov.
Zell Miller of the Regents' handling of 15
capital construction projects that are
part of the governor's "Georgia Rebound"
program, which he unveiled in Novem-
ber 1991.

In letters to Chancellor H. Dean Propst,
Gov. Miller urged the Regents to do
whatever possible to speed up design
and construction of the projects and
' called a meeting of the Board's build-
ings and grounds committee.

Vice Chancellor for Facilities Doug
Rewerts told the committee that a num-
ber of factors contributed to the delays,
including a lack of design funds, new
requirements under the Americans with

Disabilities Act, additional workload
from the Olympic Games and a short-
age of staff.

After listening to the explanations, the
Buildings and Grounds Committee
brainstormed over possible solutions.
Chief among them is a movement to a
"fast-track" style of managing construc-
tion, which involves coordinating teams
of architects and contractors to build
projects, and which was used in the
construction of the Georgia Dome.

Of the 16 projects under "Georgia Re-
bound" which totaled$142.8million
one is under construction and seven are
on the verge of construction. The re-
maining eight projects are in the pro-
gramming or preliminary design stages
and are not scheduled to be built until
next spring.

The Regents accepted full responsibility
for the delays and pledged to make nec-
essary changes. "The buck stops here,"
said Regent Elsie Hand, "and I believe
we owe the governor an apology."

'This governor means business about

education," remarked Regent Virgil
Williams, "and he has done what he
considers to be his part. What has
happened is that over the years we've
been willing to submit projects which
we really didn't anticipate would be ap-
proved. Now we need to change our
practices in some significant way."

Board plans retreat
to tackle issues

The direction of the University System
will receive the attention of the Board
during a retreat in July to discuss a
number of issues facing Georgia's pub-
lic colleges and universities.

The idea for the retreat came last month ,
after the Regents reviewed a progress
report on the work of the Strategic Plan-
ning Advisory Committee, which has
been working since last year to update
the System's long-range plan.

In the coming weeks, each Regent will

cont. on following page

cont. from previous page

Board Plans Retreat
to Tackle Issaes

submit topics and issues of concern to
be considered by the full Board. The
Regents will also hire a facilitator to help
direct the discussion to a conclusion.

The retreat will be held July 13-14 in
place of the Board's regular monthly
meeting at a location to be announced.

North Georgia VP
Named President

Delmas Allen, vice president for aca-
demic affairs at North Georgia College,
was named president of the college this
month.

Dr. Allen, who joined North Georgia
nearly five years ago, will begin his new
duties June 1.

"He is extraordinarily well prepared to
perform the responsibilities of the presi-
dency at North Georgia College," said
Chancellor H. Dean Propst "His under-
standing of the uniqueness of the col-
lege and his vision for its future are
impressive."

Before coming to the college, Dr. Allen
was a professor and associate dean of

health sciences at Georgia State Univer-
sity.

He holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from
American University in Beirut, a B.A
from the University of North Carolina
and a Ph.D. from the University of North
Dakota.

Doris M. Bussey

The only full-time employee in the Veterans Affairs Office, Doris M. Bussey, will
be retiring at the end of June. She has effectively carried on the business of that
office for many years with only the help of work study students.

Doris began working at Augusta College in 1973, and she has worked the entire 20
years in the VA Office. Before that, she had worked in a CPA's office in Augusta,
but she prefers the career she has had at AC. "I've enjoyed the atmosphere of
working with students," she said. "I've met and gotten to know a lot of very
interesting ones especially the ones who've worked in this office. I've seen them
come, work, and graduate."

The Veterans Office, which was originally funded by the federal government under
HEW (Housing, Education and Welfare) as an outreach program, is now supported
by the Board of Regents. When the funding changed hands, Doris stayed with the
job. In the late 1970's, when the office was first created on campus, Doris was one
of three full-time employees there. The highest number of veterans served by the
office was 594 in the fall of 1977. "This spring quarter we have 244. There have
always been enough veterans enrolled at AC to warrantthe workwe do," Doris said.

When Doris retires, she plans to fish, hunt, and travel. She's been all over Europe
already, last year she went to China, and this October she is going to Russia. She
and her husband, who have one son, a pharmacist in North Augusta, plan to use
their RV traveling in the U.S. (although there are only four states she hasn't visited
yet!) They'll be able to fish without going very far since they own a pond, but they
also are members of a boating club at Thurmond Lake.

When she's not busy traveling, fishing, or attending Red Oak Grove Baptist Church
in Modoc, S.C., where she lives, Doris may be seen from time to time on campus.
"I promised Dr. Bompart I'd train a replacement, and I help out with registration
and preregistration sometimes," she said.

Delia Sims

Many people on campus don't realize that Delia Sims, the School of Education's graduate degree program
assistant, is really Delia Hughes. She still uses the name "Sims" on campus, since everyone has known her for eight
years by that name, but she got married last December to Terry Hughes , who was a security officer at MCG ' s emergency
room when they met.

Delia has worked in her current position for five years, and before that, she worked in the Registrar's Office.
She was very fond of the late Greg Witcher, registrar, and the late Barbara Lowe Smith, of that office. Her duties in
the School of Education include providing applications for people who request them, collecting graduate admissions
fees, calculating grade point averages, and recording data about graduate students. She also assists with off-campus
registration of graduate students.

When she's not busy with her job, Delia is busy at home with her new husband and two daughters,
La' Anquanetta, aged eight, a straight-A student, and Terrikia, aged three. "Terrikia is just learning to read, and she's
a handful," Delia said. The family likes to go to parks for picnics, and Delia likes to play tennis and basketball. In July
she and Terry plan to visit Disneyworld. "I've never been there, and I'm really looking forward to it," she said.

The petite Gibson, Ga., native is only five feet, two inches tall and has a problem most women would love to
have she' s actually trying to gain weight. However, keeping up with her active family and taking courses at AC from
time to time, in addition to working full-time, are not activities conducive to gaining weight.

FACT will be sporting an ALL NEW section, the AC Classifieds, beginning with

the first issue in July {and in the first issue of each month thereafter). Anyone
interested in listing items they wish to sell, rooms to rent, items they want to buy,
etc., should send all ads to the Office of Public Relations and Publications no later

than the 29th of June!

Health Plan Will Cover All
System Employees

Board reviews consolidated benefits package

All University System
employees will be cov-
ered by a single health
benefits plan that will
provide some new ben-
efits and modify exist-
ing ones, the Regents
decided this month.

By a 10-2 vote, the
Board reaffirmed its
decision last April to
merge the four benefits
plans covering The
University of Georgia,
Medical College of
Georgia, Augusta Col-
lege and all other Sys-
tem institutions and
directed the Central
Office to proceed with
finding an administra-
tor for the consolidated
plan.

The redesigned plan
was the work of a com-
mittee of representa-
tives from the four in-
surance plans. It is

scheduled to take effect January 1, 1994.
The group surveyed 15 major public edu-
cational entities and private corporations
in the Southeast and worked with the
current plan designs as a guideline.

One of the most significant changes is an
expansion of wellness benefits to encour-
age employees to get regular check-ups
or routine tests. Under the new plan,
employee s will be reimbursed for wellness
up to $500 per year with no deductible.

In another benefit in the new plan,
employees will get full reimbursement
for charges stemming from an acciden-
tal injury. Participants in the Board of
Regents' plan now qualify for only 80
percent reimbursement, and full reim-
bursement for those covered under the
AC plan is limited to $300.

One less attractive change for partici-
pants in the current Board plan is a
modification in the stop-loss provi-
sion. Once employees reach the stop
loss limit ($1,000 out-of-pocket ex-
penses) under the newly consolidated
plan, they receive full reimbursement
for expenses until the end of the calen-
dar year. Currently, full reimburse-
ment for expenses is extended for 12
months.

Another provision of the new plan is a
requirement that all hospital admis-
sions be pre-certified. The UGA plan
requires pre-certification only on psy-
chiatric admissions while the MCG
plan has no pre-certification require-
ment

The vote to reaffirm the Board's April
decision to consolidate all four plans
came after a June 9 discussion that
lasted an hour. The day before, the
finance and business committee voted
to remove UGA and MCG from the
consolidated plan, but a majority of
Regents overruled that action the fol-
lowing day by restating support for the
consolidation. Regents Donald Leebern
and James Brown voted against the
consolidation.

Regents Williams
Resigns From Board

Citing a potential "negative im-
pact" from his role as a member
of the Board of Regents and pub-
lisher of Georgia Trend Magazine,
Regent Virgil Williams resigned his
post June 9.

In a letter to Chancellor H. Dean
Propst, Regent Williams wrote, "The
recent advisory from the Attorney
General as well as his conversations
indicated no problem concerning the
continuation of Georgia Trend maga-
zine advertisements from units of the
University System as long as Georgia
Trend is considered a sole
source... After considering the nega-
tive impact on my employees, the
university schools and the Board of
Regents, I have decided to resign my
post"

Other June news...

John Wolfe, an educator and former

chief operating officer of the National
Rainbow Coalition, will be the next
president of Savannah State College,
pending approval by the Board of
Regents in July.

The Regents also:

* approved a fast track/phased con-
struction method for building eight
projects as part of Gov. Zell Miller's
"Georgia Rebound" program.

* authorized new degree programs
at Southern Tech, Macon College,
Darton College, Floyd College,
Armstrong State and Georgia South-
ern; and

* delayed electing a new chairman
and vice chairman until the July re-
treat in Peachtree City.

Myoko Jackson

As a translator for the City of Augusta for the past four years, Myoko Jackson has improved
communication between Augusta and its sister city, Takarazuka, Japan. Asa graduate degree program
assistant in the School of Business Administration, she has improved the application process for
students earning their M.B A. Both of these she accomplishes with a bright smile.

Myoko Jackson has been employed at AC for almost 10 years. She is originally from Nagoya, Japan,
which she recently visited for the first time in 1 2 years. Myoko gradu ated from Kinj o Gakuin University
with a B.A. in English and a minor in education. At age 23, she moved to the United States to seek
a degree in linguistics. According to Myoko, she felt the second degree would "add color to her
resume." She attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, completed her course work to earn
her degree but never got the opportunity to use it. She married her husband, Paul, and moved to
Augusta.

Myoko and Paul have been married for 15 years and have a dog nam;d Choo-Choo and two cats named
Shotgun and Micki. She describes herself as an "animal person" and says she would love to go to
Australia some day and see kangaroos and koala bears in their natural habitat According to Myoko,
she and her husband wanted to develop a hobby they could continue into their retirement years. They
recently began to learn the game of golf. "If I can hit the ball, I'm doing good," Myoko laughed.

In her spare time, she enjoys sewing and reading, especially reading about her native country. She says
she can see things that occur in Japan more objectively now as an outsider. "I can see what kind of
significant role Japan is starting to play in the world," she commented.

She says her role as a translator for the city has been very rewarding . Her most embarrassing moment;
however, occurred when Mayor Devaney was making a speec h she was to translate. According
to Myoko, he said so much without a break, she had difficulty remembering everything that needed
to be translated. In front of an audience she had to ask him several times what he had said to ensure
the accuracy of the translation of the message.

The most challenging moment in her life came two years ago when she was in a serious car accident.
Myoko, initially in a coma following the tragedy , was wheelchair bound for several
months. She began the long, hard road to recovery through physical therapy and
is today a walking symbol of inspiration and the bravery of the human spirit

"It was a positive experience in my life. I've
learned that family and friends are the most pre-
cious treasures in life," she concluded.

Nicky Zuber

Though he was "too little to play," Nicky Zuber always
hadaloveof sports a passsion that serves him well in his position
as Sports Information Director (SDD) for the Athletic Department

Nicky joined the department in 1990, replacing Alan
Sharp, the department's first SID, who's now in facility manage-
ment at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.

The 41-year-old native of Wytheville, Virginia, said his
job is so diverse there's no "typical" day. For example, he travels
with AC's teams, sells ads for his publications, compiles and
distributes game statistics, writes news releases, phones in game
results, releases information, and works on various brochures.

His publications work was recently recognized by the
College Sports Information Directors Assa (CoSEDA). The men's
basketball program and the multi-sport brochure both won Best in
the Nation in Division B , and the baseball media guide won second
place. Division B includes NCAA Division 2 schools, NAIA and
junior colleges, he said.

Nicky graduated with a degree in history from the College
of Charleston in 1985. He was the SID there for two years and at
Mars Hill College in North Carolina for five years.

Though he's thought about some pro jobs, he doesn't like
being confined to one sport and he "loves the college atmosphere."

Zuber, who is single, said his schedule would make family
life a bit difficult "I'd have to have a wife that would be very
understanding about my work," he said.

Barbara Maddox

Barbara Maddox has worked as a

secretary at AC for eight years, all of

which she has spent in the Fine Arts

Dept. Barbara, a graduate of the

Academy of Richmond County, is an

Augusta native who has "never wanted

to live anywhere else."

Her favorite part of her job is balancing the
department's budget. "When I studied sec-
retarial courses in high school, I didn't
dream I'd ever like handling a budget," she
said. "The most difficult part of my job is
interacting with so many different types of
'customers' all the time," she said. "Stu-
dents, faculty, staff, and the general public
are all ourcustomers. It's hard to be patient
and cheerful all the time, and I'm afraid that

sometimes I don't manage it very well!"
(Anyone who's had to call Barbara for
information or help knows that she succeeds
at that part of her job.)

Before coming to AC, Barbara worked for
an insurance company and then a bank in
Augusta, but she said she prefers working
here. "My house is only a five-minute drive
from the college, so it's very convenient. I
also appreciate the high degree of safety I
feel here on this campus, as compared to
working in other areas." She added that a
wonderful plus for her was the fact that she
is exposed to classical music, for which she
is developing an appreciation, and constant
art exhibitions, which have always been
interesting.

Barbara's own musical preferences are
"country and anything by Elvis Presley."
She and her mother are great Elvis fans, and
they have a large collection of his albums,
cassettes, and related memorabilia. "Maybe
I collect teddy bears because of Elvis's song
'Teddy Bear,'" she said.

Her collection included her beloved Pome-
ranian, "Teddy Bear," who died on Easter
Sunday at age 10. "It probably seems silly
to some people that anyone could think of a
pet as a member of the family, but that's
how my mother and I felt about Teddy
Bear," she said.

Barbara and her mother, who is still a
working woman too, will get a break from
their jobs this summer when they go to
Florida for two weeks. They plan to visit St.

Augustine, the NASA Space Center, and
Disney World. When she's not busy work-
ing or traveling, Barbara loves to read,
follow Atlanta Braves games, and watch
"Star Trek" episodes "especially the old
ones with James Shatner as Captain Kirk ! "

Qeorgia Power Official Appointed to Board

Dwight Evans, a top
official with Geor-
gia Power Co., was
sworn in as the new-
est member of the
Board of Regents,
replacing Virgil Wil-
liams.

Gov. Zell
Miller administered
the oath of office to
Regent Evans in At-
lanta on July 13 just
before the Board's
retreat.

Regent
Evans, a Stone
Mountain resident,
has held numerous
positions at Georgia
Power since joining
the company in 1970
and is currently ex-
ecutive vice presi-
dent of external af-
fairs.

He is a grad-
uate of Georgia
Tech, where he
earned a bachelor of
civil engineering de-
gree and an M.S.
degree in environ-
mental engineering.

Presidents named
at Savannah, E. Qa.

Three more changes in University System
presidencies came this month as the Regents
approved new presidents for Savannah State
and East Georgia and learned of the retire-
ment of Edwin Thompson at Atlanta Metro-
politan College.

Effective August I, John Wolfe and Jerry
Ashcroft will become president of Savan-
nah State College and East Georgia Col-
lege, respectively. Dr. Wolfe is head of a
Washington, D.C., consulting firm and is

former executive director of the National
Rainbow Coalition, while Dr. Ashcroft is
currently serving East Georgia College as
vice president of academic affairs.

But while the Regents filled two presiden-
cies, the announcement of Dr. Thompson's
retirement, effective July 30, 1994, brings
to five the number of presidential vacancies
in the System.

Clayton State College, Augusta College,
West Georgia and DeKalb College are all in
various states of presidential searches. Two
months ago, the Regents named a new pres-
ident at North Georgia College.

Dr. Wolfe has broad experience as a teacher
and administrator at several universities
and hold degrees from Purdue University
and Chicago Teachers College. He suc-
ceeds Wi 1 1 iam Gardner, who died two years
ago.

Dr. Ashcroft, who has served East Georgia
for 16 years as a vice president, succeeds
Willie Gunn, who will retire after 1 7 years
in the presidency.

Meanwhile, the Regents' central office fac-
es a key vacancy with the September 1
departure of Peter Hoff, vice chancellor for
academic affairs. Dr. Hoff will leave to
become the senior vice president for aca-
demic affairs at the California State Univer-
sity System.

Other July news...

In other action this month, the Regents:

* named Randall Thursby assistant vice
chancellor for information technology.

* approved the appointment of Carter &
Associates as the program manager for
"Georgia Rebound" construction projects;
and

* reviewed an update of activity on con-
struction for the 1 996 Olympics.

Regents to review plan

Chancellor's office will submit draft in
August, Phillips, Leebem elected to one-
year terms

The Regents moved in July to prepare a
comprehensive vision of the University Sys-
tem that emphasizes regional development
as a way to improve the delivery of higher
education to Georgians.

At a two-day retreat in Peachtree City,
Ga. which included the Board's monthly
session the Regents directed the central
office to draft a long-range plan to be pre-
sented at the August meeting.

The plan will incorporate a number of is-
sues discussed at the retreat, including how
institutions might work together to serve
regions; the transferof credit from technical
institutes; the development of distance learn-
ing; and the overall role and scope of the
University System and the Board of Re-
gents.

The retreat was capped by an abbreviated
monthly meeting, at which the Regents
halved the terms of officers (from two years
to one year) and elected Barry Phill ips chair-
man and Donald Leebem vice chairman for
the 1993-94 year.

The idea to hold a retreat came at the
Board's April meeting in Bainbridge, fol-
lowing a brief presentation of the Regents
Strategic Planning Advisory Committee.
Composed of representatives from institu-
tions and the central office staff, the com-
mittee has been working since last year to
revise the System's long-range plan, which
was adopted in 1990.

president for academic affairs at Central Missouri

State University, was appointed president of

Augusta College at the August meeting of the

Georgia Board of Regents. Dr. Bloodworth will be

here on October 1.

"Dr. Bloodworth brings with him outstanding aca-
demic credentials and a wide range of administrative
experience," Chancellor Propst said. "His understand-
ing of the potential for Augusta College's further
development is impressive."

Dr. Bloodworth holds a B.S. degree from Texas
Lutheran College, an M. A. degree from Lamar Univer-
sity and aPh.D. from the University of Texas at Austin.
Dr. Bloodworth has served as an administrator and a
professor of English at Central Missouri State since

positions at East Carolina University and the Univer-
sity of Texas at Austin. Dr. Bloodworth is the author
of two books and numerous articles and reviews.

"The approval of Dr. William A. Bloodworth, Jr. as the
next president of Augusta College brings closure to a
nearly nine month process that had 1 90 persons seek the
position. The Presidential Search and Screen Commit-
tee wishes to thank all those who assisted in the search,
and especially acknowledge the contributions of Dr.
Martha Farmer both with the search itself and for her
leadership of the institution over the past two years,"
Dr. Stephen H. Hobbs, chair of the Presidential Search
and Screen Committed, said.

System News

FY95 salary request
set at 4 %

Increase is part of $1.1 billion
budget proposal

With the intention of being "realistic" with
state lawmakers, the Board ofRegents voted
to request funding for a 4 percent salary
increase next year for the University
System's faculty and staff.

The request which was submitted with a
$1.1 billion budget proposal for the System
in FY95 is the lowest raise proposal in at
least 16 years and followed lengthy discus-
sions at two meetings this month of the
Board of Regents' finance committee.

At those meetings, Regents debated salary
requests ranging from 3 to 8 percent before
settling on the 4 percent figure, which was
proposed by Regent Thomas F. Allgood, Sr.

"Georgia simply isn't going to be able to
raise 8 percent," Regent Allgood said. "I
don't like to ask for anything other than
what I can genuinely argue. Let's take a
different approach this year."

The state's financial condition in recent
years has held the System's pay raises to 2
and 3 percent in FY94 and FY93, respec-
tively. Lawmakers allowed 1.5 percent for
faculty and no increase for staff in FY92
andapproved4percentincreasesfrom 1988
to 1991.

If funded, the FY95 pay raise request would
not guarantee a 4 percent increase for all
employees but would provide a pool of
funding equal to mat amount As in past
years, raises would be awarded on merit

The Board's budget proposal also seeks $1
billion for resident instruction, a 15.6 in-
crease over the $871.5 million funded this
year.

For the fourth straight year, the Regents
submitted a separate budget request using
their revised funding formula, which pro-
poses a 37 percent increase in instructional
funding for FY95.

The Board is still hoping that the revised
formula will be phased in, although Chan-
cellor H. Dean Propst noted that the gover-
nor and General Assembly has not yet
adopted it

Among the other aspects of the Regents'
budget request:

*$174 million for 22 construction projects,
the top priority being a $ 1 .3 million renova-
tion project at Abraham Baldwin
AGricultural College;

*$38.5 million for five payback projects
dormitories at Fort Valley and Southern
Tech, student centers at Georgia State and
Kennesaw State, and a parking deck at
UGA, and;

*a 14.6 percent increase in the "B" unit of
the budget, which encompasses Special
Organized Activities.

Other August news...

The Regents this month also:

selected Blue Cross/Blue Shield as the new
administrator for the University System's
revamped health benefits plan (covering all
34 institutions);

reviewed follow-up financial audits at
Georgia Tech and Savannah State College;

approved an M.A. in teaching degree at
Georgia College and a B.S. in medical tech-
nology (external degree) program at the
Medical College of Georgia;

approved a housing financing agreement
with the Atlanta Committee for the Olympic
Games; and

welcomed John Wolfe and Jerry Ashcroft,
new presidents at Savannah State and East
Georgia College, respectively.

Board adjusting
vision of System

The University System may soon undergo
its biggest structural change since it was
founded 62 years ago, according to discus-
sions being held by the Board's planning
and oversight committee.

Continuing the brainstorming from the last
month's retreat the committee reviewed a
42-page document this month that outlines
a number of possible directions for the
System, including a coordinated structure
of institutions to serve clearly defined re-
gions.

Though the Regents took no action on the
proposals, the planning committee directed
the chancellor's staff to prepare a series of
maps showing how the state might be carved
into regions forhighereducationto be deliv-
ered more efficiently.

Members of the planning committee fell
short of any consensus on how the System's
colleges and universities might cooperate,

but they agreed that some
change is needed to improve
the way the System serves the state.

"The situation requires fundamental and
dramatic changes in how we deliver ser-
vices," remarked Board Chairman Barry
Phillips. "Idon'tmeantosoundderogatory,
but we're facing similar (circumstances)
that led to the creation of a Board of Re-
gents."

"This University System is not broken,"
Regent JuanitaBaranco said. "What we're
attempting to do is to be responsive to the
needs of the future."

The committee did not set a firm timetable
for acting on any proposals, although some
members indicated that changes should be
proposed before the General Assembly con-
venes in January.

Campus Picnic

All Campus offices will close at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, September 14,
for a College-wide picnic (PAT grounds).

Georgia
Cunningham

A love of dance has always been the center of focus for
Georgia Cunningham, staff assistant for the office of student
activities it has affected both her life and career more pro-
foundly than she would have ever dreamed. "Everyone needs to
learn to dance," she commented. "It's apart of life you shouldn't
miss!"

For this Conway, South Carolina native, that statement couldn't
ring more true. At age 14, Georgia won a dance contest on Channel 6 's Top Ten Dance Party and traveled on tour with Conway Twitty
as part of her prize. She became the hostess for that television program less than five years later and served as co-host from 1963-73.
Through her stint on Top Ten Dance Party, Georgia met many pop recording stars including former teen idol Bobby Sherman.

Dance continued to shape her future. Georgia, who was named after her father George and not the state, met her husband during an
Augusta Players production of South Pacific and married him during a production of L' il Abner. She has choreographed many plays
for the Augusta Players through the years including My Fair Lady, The Sound of Music and Westside Story.

More recently, her choreography skills have been put to good use by Storyland Theatre, now in its sixth year of presenting plays to the
Augusta area. She choreographs three productions annually for the children's theatre company. According to Georgia, Storyland Theatre
reaches more than 27,000 children annually. "It's achallenge to make people dance especially if they 're not dancers. I mostly do blocking
to make the actors look as though they are dancing," she explained.

According to Georgia, she's always enjoyed working with young people and she cites that as one of the reasons she loves her job. Her
past experience as a substitute teacher in the Richmond County School System and as hostess of the Top Ten Dance Party has given
her an edge with the students she comes in contact with daily. "I recognize their last name and remember them from school or their parents
from the Dance Party," she laughed.

Georgia and her husband Finley have one son, one granddaughter and a dog named Jagger. Her hobbies are exercising, bike riding and,
of course, ballroom dancing. She is on the Board of Directors for Storyland Theatre and the Greater Augusta Arts Council, of which
she is also a past president. She is a member of AC HEOPA and the Special Events Board for SL Joseph's Hospital.

But at the heart of all her activities is the students she spends time with every day at Augusta College she says they keep her young
at heart. According to Georgia, her duties include everything from completing budgets to making ID cards to cheering up a student who
is feeling dowa But no matter how busy Georgia gets, she says she always tries to stay up-to-date on trends, especially all the new dance
steps.

"If there is a new dance step, I've got to try to learn it," she said. "I learn more from the students than they do from me. As far as I'm
concerned, they're the other half of my family."

Calendars

Many people who have seen the new Aca-

Jblic Relations & Publications have won-

red how some of the unusual photo-
l|pii|c. effects were achieved.

The photos were scanned into a
gf and stylized using the Fractal
3 ainter 2.0 program. Fractal Painter is a natural-media paint application with
ss palette of tools and textures. Examples of different effects can be seen in the
photos for February (a "smeared" look), March (a "water-spattered" look), and May (an
?tonist painting" look).

PLEASE NOTE: There are a few incorrect dates in the calendar. The following

System News

System may
assume new
"regional" profile

The University System will likely move
toward a regionalized structure in the near
future, although details of that structure
won't emerge until sometime this fall, ac-
cording to discussions held at the Septem-
ber Board of Regents meeting.

At a meeting of the Board's Planning
and Oversight Committee, Regents
received documents that presented
eight possible alternatives for intro-
ducing "regionalism" to the System.
The committee and other members of
the Board will review those alterna-
tives and may consider other possible
assignments before meeting again Oc-
tober 4.

A draft overview of the structural
changes defines regionalism as a con-
cept in which "all higher education
resources are viewed as a collective,
multi-campus entity" and acknowl-
edged that "the creation of this under-
standing is much more easily stated
than implemented."

According to the document, regional-
ism could be developed by placing
free-standing senior colleges or regional
universities in all major areas within a
region an expensive proposition or
extend services from colleges in vari-
ous areas of the region.

The overview also noted that "it is best

for the regional structure to be built
while maintaining the separate identi-
ties of each college" and that clearly
defined policies and procedures would
be needed to govern the coordinated
institutions.

Included in the documents provided
to the Planning Committee was a map
outlining six specific regions that might
have a regional university. The Re-
gents also reviewed six other realign-
ments institutions that might fall
within specific regions and left the
door open for additional ideas.

"There may be other options out there
to consider," remarked Regent Tho-
mas Allgood from Augusta. "I think
we should put all of the ideas on the
table."

The Regents stopped short of setting a
timetable for finalizing the restructur-
ing of the University System, and Re-
gent James Brown observed that "this
is going to require quite a number of
meetings over the next few months."

FY94 repair funds
to be allocated

Buildings on the System's 34 campuses
will soon get their share of repair money
after the Regents approved "target alloca-
tions" from the FY94 Major Repair jReha-
bilitation fund.

A total of $25.7 million from the fund
was earmarked this month for repair
projects at the institutions, although
funding for some regulatory projects
has yet to be determined.

The amount to be allocated $27.8
million total for FY94 will not satisfy
the near-term repair needs of the insti-
tutions, which exceed $87 million in
repair and regulatory projects, accord-
ing to documents reviewed by the
Buildings and Grounds Committee.

Retired faculty
share the spotlight

A group of retired faculty members and
administrators of the University System
shared the spotlight this month as the Re-
gents recognized faculty who have received
emeritus appointments in the past year.

Eighty-five faculty and their spouses
were on hand September 7 at the James
H. "Sloppy" Floyd Building for a break-
fast in their honor, which included
remarks from Regents Chairman Barry
Phillips and Chancellor H. Dean Propst.

This year marked the 15th anniversary
of the Emeriti Recognition Ceremony.

Cther September
news...

In other action, this month, the Re-
gents:

* Approved contracts for the
boxing and swimming /diving venues
between the Board of Regents and the
Atlanta Committee for the Olympic
Games (ACOG);

* Discussed the use of modular
temporary buildings on the System
campuses. The Buildings and Grounds
Committee suggested that mobile units

are more practical to alleviate space
shortages and asked that a policy be
developed prohibiting the use of state
funds to pay for modular units;

* Discussed the possibility of
creating a Master of Social Work pro-
gram at Georgia State University;

* Approved the establishment
of an endowed lecture series at Geor-
gia State in honor of Barbara Payne,
founder of the university's Gerontol-
ogy Center, and approved the estab-
lishment of the "Marvin W. Cole Fel-
lowship" at DeKalb College; and

* Named an academic building
at East Georgia College in honor of
George William Walker, the college's
founding president.

Nicolette
DeLoach

A country girl at heart is the best way to describe Nicolette
DeLoach who is a Technical Support Specialist II in the
Computer Services Department. Born in McRae, Georgia,
on a chicken farm, Nicolette currently lives on a 17-acre
farm in Harlem with the man she eloped with 21 years
ago her husband Carl and their two children Janice (13)
and Christopher (10).

Nicolette has worked in Computer Services for almost 13 years from 1977-1985 and
from 1988 through the present. A graduate of Middle Georgia College with an A. A. in
Data Processing, she handles any campus hardware-related problems. She performs
maintenance on computers and computer equipment as well as installs new equip-
ment. She also discusses needs with campus users and researches the best prices and
equipment to meet those needs.

In her spare time, she enjoys her farm. In the past they've raised goats, horses and
chickens, but for now 25 chickens, two kittens and a black labrador named Pal make
up the wild life at the DeLoach spread. Although she lives on a farm she doesn't have
a garden because, according to her, her parents live close by and if s easier to help her
dad pick the vegetables and eat them than it is to grow them.

Quite a non-traditionalist, she loves to build things and says if she could have been a
carpenter, she would have. A six-stall horse barn, chicken pen, dog house and shoe
rack are just a few of her carpentry projects. She also designed the house she and her
family now live in.

When asked about anything unique in her life, she commented that she liked her work,
and many people find that unique because it often requires moving equipment and
getting dirty. But that just makes it more of a challenge to Nicolette.

"If there is a tree to be cut down, I get the chain saw. I also change the oil in my car and mow the lawn. Just because
something has been labeled as a man's job doesn't slow me down I've at least got to give it a try," she added.

landscape. The upgrades were implemented by the Physical Plant
and include new wheelchair ramps, curb cut ramps, wider door-

lien EupRouens

Ellen Burroughs, library assistant n, has the best of both
worlds the world of work and the world of home and family. She shares
a full-time position with another library employee at Reese Library,
giving her time to enjoy the many activities she loves.

She said the campus has changed tremendously during her years here,
and she will have worked under six college presidents or acting
presidents as of October 1. "In 1971," she said, "the library had about
100,000 volumes and was located in Hardy Hall. Now we have 453,825
volumes." She said she and everybody else at AC even former Presi-
dent George Christenberry helped move books on library carts from
the old library to the present one when it was completed in 1976.

Ellen worked at AC as the secretary of the registrar, the late S. Lee
Wallace, from 1963 to 1965, while her husband studied medical
illustration at MCG. After living in Wisconsin a few years, the Burroughs
came back to Augusta. Ellen came back to AC in 1971 and worked part
time in a "temporary" position for seven years, becoming "permanent"
in 1978.

When she' s not at the library , working in the stacks , checking out books
at the front desk, and handling interlibrary loans using a computer, Ellen
is engrossed in a home project she loves-redecorating her house "from
top toTxntom." *

Ellen is a member of St, Mary-on-the-Hill Catholic Church and acharter
member of the Irish American Heritage Society of Augusta. She enjoys
producing folk art-type paintings, making fashion jewelry and sewing
items to decorate her home. She also loves to spend time with her two
grown children, Paige and Milton (Jr.), and her granddaughter, Callie.
By Christmas, she expects to celebrate in her "new" home with her whole
family, including a new grandchild.

President William A. Bloodworth Jr. has asked the College's
Academic Policies Committee to analyze and assess the College's
registration process to make sure that an accurate understanding
of the problems exists.

Dr. Jim Benedict, Mathematics and Computer Science, was
asked to convene the group and report back to the president in two
weeks with their findings.

"It is especially important that the problem be analyzed by
persons who are objective and who do not have administrative
responsibility for any aspect of the registration process," he said.
"The purpose of the Committee will not be to recommend solutions
but to make sure we have an accurate understanding of the
problems," he added.

Solving the registration process will be a long-term effort and
will involve the continuous improvement of the registration system,
he said.

PnopsT Announces Retirement

H. Dean Props t, chancellor of the University System of Georgia for the past
eight years, will retire from his post March 1.

In a letter to Board of Regents
Chairman Barry Phillips, Dr. Propst, 59,
said "the time has come for change in my
professional and personal life which, in
turn, will bring change to the University
System in the form of new ideas, new
leadership."

Although March 1 marks his offi-
cial retirement date, he will leave office

December 31 and use accumulated va-
cation time for January and February.

"The Board of Regents regrets
this decision, but we understand his de-
sire to assume a less hectic pace at this
juncture in his life," said Phillips. "We
tried to persuade him to reconsider, but
I regret we were unsuccessful."

Dr. Propst joined the University

System in 1969 as dean of the college
and professor of English at Armstrong
State College. He was promoted in 1976
to vice president and dean of faculty.

In 1979, he joined the Regents
Central Office as vice chancellor for aca-
demic development and was later named
executive vice chancellor, the second
highest post in the System. Regents
named him chancellor in 1984, and he
assumed the post July 1, 1985.

Reqeimts move to boosT EfficiENcy

Committee slows down push to regionalize,
approves new initiatives

After months of debating a major restructuring of the University System, the Regents
this month moved to improve the efficiency of the System by gaining a clearer
understanding of the mission and role of each of the System's 34 institutions.

Two meetings of the Board's Planning and Oversight Committee slowed
down efforts to "regionalize" the System and launched several initiatives to better
coordinate how the institutions meet the needs of their populations.

Topping the initiatives is a pro-
posal to beef up staffing at the Regents'
Central Office to improve monitoring of
the institutions. The committee asked
the chancellor to appoint a vice chancel-
lor who would coordinate the "delivery
of educational services" including dis-
tance learning and hire new staff in the
fiscal affairs and academic affairs depart-
ments.

In August, the Regents approved
a recommendation from Chancellor H.
Dean Propst to seek $500,000 for

System News

additional Central Office staff a pro-
posal that was presented recently to Gov.
Zell Miller when the budget was dis-
cussed.

The Planning and Oversight Com-
mittee also decided to:

* Evaluate whether the System's
34 colleges and universities are
fulfilling their specific missions;

* Revisit and update the criteria
for institutions' changes of status
outlined in the 1990 long-range
plan; and

* Explore the creation of a com-
munity college system to avoid
duplicating the offerings of pub-
lic two-year colleges and the
state's technical institutes.

Although the Regents agreed not
to rush the restructuring of the System,
the Board did note the merits of taking
steps to improve the way the System
functions.

In his monthly reportto the Board,
Chancellor Propst said an internal com-
mittee would soon be "examining cost
savings from the privatization of some
services" and that he discussed with
Gov. Miller the "economies that could
result from regionalization and strategic
planning."

Regent WilliamTurner, chairman
of the committee, noted that "there is
already a lot of regional cooperation,
and we need to publicize that more."

The Board also agreed to hold a
day-long meeting of the committee on
Oct. 27 to follow up on this month's
action.

"To bring it into final focus, we
need to sit down and concentrate," said
Regent Tom AUgood. "We need to iso-
late ourselves, and we need to get on
with it."

FaIL enroLLment up,

EARly REPORT SAyS

The University System enrolled a record
number of students for the eighth con-
secutive year as enroUmentjumped nearly
two percent this year, according to a
preliminary report issued by the Office of
Research and Planning.

Ten of the 34 institutions report-
ed decreases in enrollment a higher
number than usual although most of
the declines were modest.

Final numbers won't be avail-
able for a few weeks, but early figures
show:

* Three institutions had double-
digit percentage increases. They
are: Gordon College (17.1 per-
cent), Savannah State College
(11.0 percent) and Brunswick
College (10.4 percent);

* Valdosta State, in its first year as
a regional university, enrolled
nearly 800 more students than
last year, a 9.9 percent increase;
and

* Two-year college enrollment,
which has climbed the fastest in
recent years, appears to have
slowed. Half of the System's two-
year institutions posted
decreases.

BloodwoRTh
AcIcIresses Regents

New AC President William A.

Bloodworth, Jr., invited to address
members of the Board of Regents at the
October meeting, said the "proper job of
a college president is to develop a broad-
ly shared sense of what the college can
be, given the realities of its situation, and
a plan to become the very best institution
that it can within its known circumstanc-
es."

He said AC has an unusual re-
gion of service a metropolitan area of
over 400,000 persons, half of those in
Richmond County alone. Aside from
MCG, there is no other System campus
within 75 miles. "As a result, in the
Georgia counties that make up the Cen-
tral Savannah River Area, over half the
people who are in any school system are
at Augusta College."

AC's geography poses a chal-
lenge, he said. With no junior college in
the area, AC must serve the function of
a two-year school as well as that of a
senior college. It is also a feeder institu-
tion for MCG, where almost 40 percent
of the transfer students are transfers from
AC.

The presence of two nearby pub-
lic universities in South Carolina compli-
cates the situation further, he noted.
Both USC-A and USC-Columbia are
closer than any two- or four-year system
campus in Georgia.

The college must also meet the
degree program and continuing educa-
tion needs of an area large in size and
population. Last year, he said, continu-
ing education programs served more
than 10,000 community participants. The
Maxwell Theatre saw an attendance of
more than 85,000 last year.

He promised Regents "effective
management of the college, leadership
through strategic planning, aggressive
public relations, and full cooperation as
an institutional citizen of the University
System of Georgia."

Richard A. Skinner, a South Carolina
educator with ties to Georgia, will be-
come the second president of Clayton
State College, effective Jan. 1.

Dr. Skinner, 44, is currently vice

Greenwood, S.C. He succeeds Harry

Downs, the founding president of Clayton
State, who is retiring after 24 years on the
job.

He holds a B.A. degree in polit-
ical science from Georgia Southern and
M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in government
and international studies from the Uni-
versity of South Carolina.

Prior to coming to Lander Uni-
versity in 1988, Dr. Skinner held several
positions at Old Dominion University.

Dr. Skinner was also a finalist in
AC's presidential search.

MUdElyN BernarcI

If you pass by the Languages and Literature Department on a Friday before college
football and notice a bright shock of orange and blue, don't be alarmed. It's just
Madelyn Bernard showing her true colors University of Florida colors, that is.
This die-hard Gator fan says she bleeds them!

After growing up in Gainesville and working for the University of Florida, it's no
wonder that Madelyn is the team's number one fan. She and her husband of eight
years, Rick, still have season tickets and manage to make it to Florida as often as
possible to root for the Gators.

At Augusta College, Madelyn has become a familiar figure in the Languages and
Literature Department during the past year as the senior secretary. She says she
enjoys working in the department because she loves dealing with students.

Her love of teenagers has led her to volunteer with the Educational Foundation for
Foreign Exchange, an organization which she served as Regional Coordinator for
the State of Georgia for three years. Madelyn has hosted eight teenage foreign
exchange students since beginning her involvement, and her next student is due to
arrive in January from Australia. According to Madelyn, she has already been
corresponding with 15-year-old Danielle , who will stay six months with the Bernards .
Other students have hailed from Sweden, Norway, England and Japan and have
each lived with Madelyn for a period of ten months.

While Madelyn loves her international children, she quickly points out that her 28-
year-old son Francis is not only her world, but also her best friend. Her dream, in
fact, is to share the love she feels for him and his wife with their future grandchildren.

Madelyn is a member and served as president of the Fairways Chapter of
Professional Secretaries International. She was recognized by that group as
Secretary of the Year for 1992-93. She is also involved in AC HEOPA and Martinez
Baptist Church, where she and her husband attend and sing in the choir.

NOTE:

Many of you have asked about Debbie Johnson from the Butler Hall Snack Bar. Debbie
wants to send a big a hello x to all and says the chanceto come back and work keeps her fighting
spirit going. If any one would like to contact Deb, she can be reached through her home mail
address at 57 Myrtle Drive, Augusta, 30909, or through the Food Services Department on
campus. I know she would appreciate knowing people think of her often.

"MllMMC"

If you're ever near the campus pool
around lunch time, you might see a dedi-
cated swimmer putting in his daily 30 to 40
laps. The swimmer is none other than
Domenico C. Guerrieri, known by every-
one as "Mimmo," director of the Physical
Plant. (You can bet the pool is kept in good shape too!)

Mimmo arrived here in 1984 from MCG, where his last position was
building maintainence manager. He believes his job has more ups than downs.
Things seem to be running more smoothly in the last few years than they were ten
years ago, he said. "We try to be proactive and plan ahead, which really helps." He
said the one message he'd like to convey to everyone at AC, which he feels is a close-
knit community, is that his employees work very hard, often "going that extra mile.
An occasional verbal or written 'thank you' means so much to all of us."

His job involves keeping the physical facilities of the College on both
campuses running smoothly. He supervises approximately 70 people in six
departments: Grounds, Housekeeping/Custodial, Electrical, HVAC (heating, ven-
tilating and air conditioning), Automotive and Building Maintenance (carpentry,
painting, and locks and keys).

Mimmo's favorite part of his job is interacting with people and "tinkering"
with his computer. He likes being able to produce maps and architectural drawings
of the campus and various conduits that connect all points of it. Off duty, he enjoys
"hiking and hiding" in the mountains with his wife of 32 years, Jean, whom he met
when she visited Southern Italy, his home. They have four children and five
grandchildren.

He was trained in the Italian Air Force to work with intermediate-range
missiles and hoped to work in the U.S. space industry after his military service, but
could not get security clearance soon enough to get a job and support his young
family. "So I got some training in architectural drafting and it led me down this path.
Now Fm glad things worked out the way they did."

Brenda Johnson

Brenda Johnson Is one of the first AC employees to meet
potential students. As an admissions information special-
ist, Brenda has explained the "ins" and "outs" of getting
accepted at AC to traditional and non-traditional students
for the past six years. She also coordinates tours, work-
shops/seminars and other office events.

Originally from Augusta, Brenda resides in Thomson with
her husband, Jack. The newlyweds have been married for
one year and have four children between them ranging in
ages from 24 to 10. She also has one grandson that is
definitely the apple of his grandma's eye. According to
Brenda, she is the only non-college student in her family.
Her husband is completing his doctoral studies in counsel-
ing at Erskine College, her son is a recent AC graduate, and
her daughter and her mother also attend AC. Although she
has taken college courses in the past, the heat is on from her family to re-enlist
her in the ranks of the higher educated, she said.

A bubbly and enthusiastic woman, Brenda says she has learned to be prepared
to meet life's challenges. Her greatest challenge came following the birth of her
daughter when she lost her right hand due to an improperly administered
inj ection. With a 2 1 -month-old son and a newborn depending upon her for care,
she had to retrain her left hand to do everything from writing to changing a
diaper. A two-month hospital stay and support from her family helped her
through this trying time. "I had to learn to pin diapers with one hand so my aunt
brought a baby doll for me to practice. It was a painful experience, but I learned
that it's something that happens to you and you learn to go on. I'm not self-
conscious about it. I learned to help myself and now I enjoy helping other
people," she explained.

According to Brenda, her loss does not deter her in life and there's not a lot that

she can't do with her left hand and the prosthetic device she wears on her right

hand, including water skiing and gardening. She loves all types of dance

ballet, jazz and shag. She also loves to collect and refinish the antiques that

decorate her 100-year-old home. And she really loves her job. "I enjoy the people.

I get so much satisfaction from working with individuals that are discouraged Oood HifeWS

and don't think they can attend college. They've lost their self-esteem and feel

this is their last chance to do something. As we talk, they begin to believe they

can do it. That's what I like best about AC the opportunity to see someone

accomplish something," she added.

If Ella Owens, staff assistant in the
Physical Education Department, spies a
hand sneaking in her door to grab a
cookie or other goodie, she doesn't bat
an eye. She knows that hand is attached
to one of the many students she's come
to consider part of her Augusta College
family.

Ella has been with Augusta College for
more than 20 years. Originally em-
ployed by the Biology and Chemistry
Department, she moved to the Physical
Education and Athletic Department af-
ter a few years hiatus from AC. Accord-
ing to Ella, in those days employees of
that department were expected to be a
jack-of-all-trades.

"There was no such thing as an eight-
hour day," she said with a laugh. "I
opened games, scheduled games, sold
tickets and took care of the money at the
ball games. On game nights, we were
often working until 11 p.m. We did
whatever it took to get the job done."

These days Ella is responsible for pur-
chase requests, conducting inventory,
handling supplies and equipment, and
correspondence. In addition, she says
she works with students, advising them,
helping them to register and even con-
soling them when things don't go their
way. Alumni and current students alike
call, write and drop by to keep Ella
updated on what's happening in their
lives.

The AC Faculty Exhibition and the AC Student Exhibition continue at the Gertrude
Herbert Institute of Art through December 22. Art faculty members with works on
display are Eugenia Comer, Priscilla Hollingsworth, Janaan Reynolds,
James Rosen, Brian Rust, Janice Williams and William Willner.

"These kids are almost like my own. I
know what if s like to have a houseful of
young people. I had three teenagers
and my house was always full of their
friends," she explained.

According to Ella, family is the most
important thing in life it is where she
draws her strength, whether it's through
her own family or her AC family. She
describes herself as family-oriented,
especially after her husband, Schiffley,
passed away in 1971. Tragedy struck
again when her oldest daughter, Karen,
lost a battle to lymphoma in 1980 at the
young age of 24. Rather than pulling this
family apart, tragedy served to bring her
daughter, Kathy, and son, Randy, clos-
er.

"I am so proud of my children and how
they turned out. We've stayed close as
a family. If one member of the family
has a tragedy or sickness, everyone
bands together and goes to their aid,"
she said.

A grandmother to three grandsons, she
says her ideal day would be to spend
time with her family without timetables
or restraints. She grew up in Marion,
South Carolina, near the Grand Strand
of Myrtle Beach and loves to shag. In
fact, dancingisapassionevidentthrough-
out her family. She says whenever her
family gets together, it's not surprising
to see the living room furniture moved
so everyone can dance. "In our family,
the parents and kids play together. Thaf s
one thing that makes our family differ-
ent," she concluded.
