GDntinuing Education and Maxine Alen have walked hand-in-hand for
more than two decades.

She joined the office as a secretary in 19 ^3 when it was under the direction
of Tom Riley. It was known then as the Office of Extended Services. Their quarterly
oflfering was about 15-20 "primarily remedial" ;hort courses.

In the late 1970's when Riley left, Shari Covitz became her boss. Wlicn
Oavicz left four years ago, Theresa Bryant becar le the director and stayed luitil last
August. Carolyn Ingraham is now serving as actii g director, and a search is \ indcnvay
for a permanent director. Maxine is a member ol the Search Committee. (Riley, she
said, bought a farm in Waynesboro and loves tha : line of work; Covitz is in Winston-
Salem, where she works with a hospice program; md Bryant is with a technical school
in Chattanooga, Term.).

Maxine has seen the area grow from a tiny two-person office to a di\'ision
which last year offered 863 programs to almost 0,000 members of the community.

She loves her work she's now assistant to the director and has no interest
in retiring. The fact that the job is never the san e from day to day is what keeps her
challenged.

She's been a member of the Internationa American Business Women's Assn .
since the early 1970's, and she's a charter member of the AC Higher Educat ion Office
Professional Assn. She's been an active member of Georg:ia Adult Education, Inc.
since 1981 and chaired its Communications Committee during 1992-93. In tiiat
capacity, she produced quarterly GAEA new letters. In 1988, she received the
organization's President's Award which is give i for outstanding service pr^ided
by a support person in the field of adult/contir uing education.

She's also been affiliated with the local cl lapter of the lATSE and has enjoyed
working shows at the Civic Center and Bell A iditorium.

Her duties often placed her behind the scenes \ working with well-
known performers. Once when Kenny Rogers v as performing, her
job was to feed the microphone cable to him as he walked around.
At the close of the first performance, she hea d her naine being
called. She recognized the caller as Linda Owens (a former Procure-
ment Office employee) . "She was such a fan tha ; she wanted to pay
me to let her do what I was doing," she laugh ^d.

She is married to WiUiam (BUI) C. Alle i Sr., an AC retiree. She has n\( >
sons, a daughter and two step-sons. She's also die proud grandmotlier of six.

Sick leave credit Oid, new
studied legislation

As reported in the lastL^is/a-
tive Update, HB 276 would al-
low unused sick leave to be
credited toward teachers' re-
tirement benefits. For the bill
to be effective in FY95 the
appropriations committees will
have to include the necessary
funds to cover the cost of the
creditable hours. Current re-
tirement procedures require
that bills having a fiscal impact
be introduced in the first year
of a biennium.

Last summer both House and
Senate retirement committees
voted to have actuarial studies
done on the issue. Rep. Bill
Cummings, chairman of the
House Retirement Committee,
is one of the authors of the bill.

HB 190 would allow third-
year law students from within
or outside the state to act as
assistants in criminal proceed-
ings. Status: Senate Higher
Education Committee

HB 1 149 would prohibit the
General Assembly from autho-
rizing any appropriations to
the Georgia Board of Regents
to be used for the creation of
any new public college, junior
coUege or university; or the
change in status of a two-year
or senior college to a universi-
ty until such recommendations
have been approved ^y the
House and Senate.
The Board would
be required to
provide a ten-year

cost projection for the recom-
mendation. Status: House

Cathy
Shawver

CatiierineA. (Caiby)
Shawver, computer operations
& support services co-ordinator,
began working at AC in 1976,

not long after moving to
Augusta.

Her first job here was as a data
entry clerk in Admissions, a po-
sition she held for nine years before moving to Computer Services.

Cathy, one of three sisters, was bom in Hawaii and lived there for
five years before her family moved to New Jersey. She attended
college elsewhere, but didn't finish until she earned a bachelor's
degree in history at AC.

She is married and has one child, a son, Eric, aged 18. She also has
several large goldfish and a cat named Ralph. Tve had cats all my
life," she said.

She eiyoys baking and recenfly took up rug hooking, for which she
dyes and cuts her own wool, although she professes to be "the least
artistic person in the family."

An admirer of Augusta's beauty ("IVe never been in a prettier
town"), Cathy nevertheless loves to travel and would like to see
more of the U.S. She's been to Scotiand and England to visit
relatives, but her favorite place is Florida ^"specifically, the beach
any beach!" She loves lying in the sun, reading a good book, and
combing the beach for shells. Her retirement "dream" is to live at
the beach. "Marco Island, on the southwest coast of Florida, would
be ideal," she said, smiling.

Legislative
Update

House Sends Message to
Board of Regents

On Wednesday, March 1, the Georgia
House passed a resolution that would
call for a constitutional amendment
prohibiting the Board of Regents from
creating any new colleges or upgrad-
ing any existing ones without approv-
al from the Legislature and without
first submitting a five-year cost analy-
sis of the upgrade. Speaker Tom
Murphy, one of HR 555's authors, said
that legislators need to "...send a mes-
sage to the Regents that we in the
General Assembly are in charge of the
University System and they can't keep
creating colleges.. .without us know-
ing how much it's going to cost us
down the hne."

Meetings of the House University Sys-
tem and Rules Committees were called
so the bill could be rushed to the floor
to meet deadline the last day the
House could consider bills that origi-
nated in its chamber.

The bill now moves to the Senate.

Smoking Ban Recommended

Following a two-month study,
the committee recommended that the
College join other colleges and univer-
sities in Georgia which have "chosen to
lead in the promotion of healthful work
and educational environments."

A special committee appointed by
Augusta College President William A.
Bloodworth, Jr., to assess the Col-
lege's smoking policy has recom-
mended that AC ban smoking in all
campus buildings.

Dr. Bloodworth said today it is
his intention to accept the committee's
report and to put it into effect summer
quarter. A recommendation he feels
needs further review is one that prohib^
its smoking within 25 feet of all build-
ings. ^

The 25-foot ban might be im-
possible to implement, given the close-
ness of all the campus buildings, he
said. "I have asked for further review to
consider the configuration of our build-
ings and the best way to reduce expo-
sure to second-hand smoke. I hope to
have a decision on this matter soon,
along with strategies for implementing
as many of the committee's suggestions
as possible."

The committee also recommended:

That appropriate signage be
displayed, that smoking cessation
classes be held, that possible new
structures be built to accommodate
outdoor smoking and that adoption
of the policy changes be implement-
ed summer quarter.

"ilie committee was asked by
Bloodworth to review the policy ap2
proved in 1 99 1 . That policy had banned
smoking from academic buildings but
allowed it in specified areas in some
other buildings.

surveyed by the committee. The com-

staff Profile -

She is the special events
coordinator for the Alumni
House at Augusta College
and special is a word that
describe Hillis Barksdale
DeRoller.

She can be seen darting
here and there to work on
everything from the Alum-
ni and Friends Golf Tour-
naments to the annual
Christmas tree lighting.
She plans barbecues, the
Alumni Spring Awards Cer-
emony, the faculty-staff
holiday luncheon and a 50-
year reunion every spring.
With the many events she
is responsible for, if s hard
to believe that Hillis has
only worked part-time for
the past sk and a half years.

Hillis is no newcomer to
the campus. She attended
classes in 1961 and picked
up where sheleftoff in 1984,
completing a B.A in histo-
ry in 1987. She describes
coming back as "the best
time in my life." She says
she still keeps close ties
with students who gradu-
ated with her.

Before working here, Hillis
coordinated the Lions Eye
Bank at the Medical Col-
lege of Georgia, perform-
ing everything from public
relations work to fund rais-
ing to performing enucle-
ations (removing eyes) that
had been donated. "I took
the person receiving a
transplant through the en-

tire process. I even
went to surgery
with them and held
their hand," she said.

She has also worked as a
volunteer with St Joseph's
Hospital and was a past
president of the St Joseph
Auxiliary. Hillis volunteers
with the Greater Augusta
Presbyterian Ministries
where she cooks and
serves gallons of soup to
the needy for lunch.

She says she enjoys work-
ing part-time because it
grants her more time to
spend with her family and
her CaimTerrier Katie Sue.

TTie special man in her life

is Alan Cooke, radio opera-
tions manager for Peach
State Radio Station WACG.
"We met on a blind date
and have been together
ever since," she comment-
ed.

She says her life is an open
book and that analogy must
come from her love of read-
ing. She says she has read
seven novels on the top ten
best seller list and also
reads Time and The New
Yorker. She also enjoys
riding bikes with Alan and
taking aquacise three times
weekly at the AC pool.

Bloodworth Inaugurated as
Eighth President

Dr. William A. Bloodworth, Jr., was inaugurated Thursday as the eighth president of
Augusta College before an audience of hundreds.

The day was a busy one for the campus and community. It began with a Pre-Inaugiu-al
Academic Symposium at the AC Physical Education/ Athletic Complex titled "Busi-
ness, Community and the Future." A luncheon in honor of Dr. Bloodworth took place
at 12:30 p.m. at the Partridge Inn and was attended by delegates, family, friends and
special dignitaries.

A processional of 46 delegates, the AC faculty, members of the Presidential Search
Committee, the Presidential Inaugural Committee, student members of Phi Kappa Phi,
the Student Government Association, the Student Senate, the AC Color Guard, the

itform Party, the Faculty Marshall and the president marched into the Grover C. Maxwell Performing Arts Theatre for

! official swearing in of Dr. Bloodworth at 3 p.m. A reception followed the ceremony.

e day of inaugiu^al activities was capped off by an elegant evening celebration at the Sacred Heart Cultural Center. The
rty attracted more than 600 attendees.

r

College Inauguration Steeped in Tradition

aditions, such as the carrying of the Augusta College Mace, have always been a part of Augusta College convocations.
e late Nathan Bindler, Augusta College faculty member, carved the mahogany post that is five feet in height and displays
vings relating to higher education, Augusta College, the Augusta area and the state of Georgia.

silver medallion which carries the Augusta College coat-of-arms was designed in 1987 for the inauguration of the late
. Richard Wallace. Dr. Bloodworth was the second president to wear the medallion which was designed by Katherine
Imer, an Atlanta goldsmith. It hangs on a 36-inch chain of 16-gauge silver wire and was fiinded by alumnus Nelson A.
nish (class of '57) of WJBF. When not in use, the medallion remains locked in its beautiful walnut and glass case in the
jsident's office. The case was designed and built by AC Physical Plant Director Domenico (Mimmo) Guerrieri. It took
- n approximately two months to complete it.

Local Architect
Selected for AC Project

The Augusta firm of Hughes/Beattie Architects was approved
Wednesday to design what will be the largest building ever con-
structed on the Augusta College campus.

The action was taken at the monthly meeting of the Board of Regents
of the University System of Georgia.

The $15.6 million Science Building, at 122,000 gross square feet,
will be larger than the Physical Education/Athletic Complex ( 1 03,000
square feet) at the Forest Hills campus and larger than the Reese
Library (100,000 square feet) on the main campus, according to
Joseph F. Mele, vice president for business and finance.

The building will be located at one of two sites under consideration.

One location is between the Reese Library and the College Activity
Center (CAC), and the other is between the CAC and the old vacant building known as the Iron Lung building. The vacant
building will be converted to a central heating/cooling plant as part of the overall project.

Mele said architectural plans should be approved and bids issued for the construction by this time next year. It will take about
two and a half years to build the edifice, he added.

The Science Building will house the Departments of Biology, Chemistry/Physics and Psychology and will include
laboratories, lectiu^e rooms and faculty offices.

Dr. Betty House, dean of the AC School of Arts and Sciences, said the new state-of-the-art facility will impact future
programming. One of the programs that has been discussed is a major combining environmental science and business.

"The new building would enable us to look at the possibility of adding such a major. At present," she said, "we simply do
not have space to offer enough science courses to meet the needs of the increasing number of students who wish to enroll.

"We have extraordinarily good teachers and students, but we don't have the facilities to match. The new Science Building
will enable our students and faculty to do optimimi work," she said.

The Augusta College Facul-
ty Club marched in a six mile
walkathon on Sunday, April
17, to benefit the National
Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Thanks to all that participat-

An AC history major, who as a child was fascinated with the abundant wildlife in
the Rae's Creek area, is the author of a brand-new book entitled Down Rae's Creek.

Michael C. White, a 24-year-old native of Augusta, grew up exploring and fishing
in the creek with his friends. While at Richmond Academy, he contacted Dr. Ed Cashin
for information on the creek's history.

In later years, as a student in Cashin's Georgia History class, he wrote a research
paper on the creeL That sparked his decision to write a book on it

The project took years to complete. "I've been through about six versions. J had
to learn about writing, how to consider the readers and how to get it just right,"
he said.

With his dad as his "biggest investor," they spent about $2,000 to
have it printed. It's available at the Magnoha Book Shop, Books- A-Million,iJ
the Sacred Heart Cultural Center, and the AC Library. The cost is $10.60.

To date, he's sold the book on campus to President Bloodworth;
Dr. Cashin; Kaye Keel, secretary, History Dept.; Vicky Greene
of the Richmond County Historical Society; Mary Anne Cashin,
Reese Library; Dr. Jim Garvey, Languages and Literature;
and Dr. Chris Murphy, Anthropology.

He credits Cashin, Dr. Harvey
Stirewalt, retired biology professor, and
Dr. Garvey for assisting him with th(
endeavor. BiU Babb, outdoor editor

Aigusta College 's proposed $18. 7 mil-

l^n science building is in an enviable

timber two position on the Board of

K gents capital priority list for next

yar. President William A.

Eoodworth, Jr. said he is "very con-

fi'ent the project will be funded by

th state legislature. "
I f

If funded, construction could be-
gin as early as next year. Once completed,
the building would be the largest one on
campus.

The science center is just one por-
tion of the Master Plan, redrawn by a
steering committee formed by Dr.
Bloodworth after he took office Oct. 1 . The

Master Plan for Facilities also includes the
replacement of four of the academic build-
ings and an off-campus continuing education
center.

The science building, however, is
the top priority and the only element of the
Master Plan which has made the Regents'
list of projects slated for funding this year.

\ccEss TO AcAdEiviic Excellence
For rhE New MILLennIum

^ Vision for the University System of Georgia

iS Georgia emerges as a leader in a global society, the University System of Georgia will
ad in access to academic excellence. Among the nation's public universities and
olleges, Georgia' s will be recognized for first-rate undergraduate education, leading-
dge research, and committed public service. Georgians will appreciate the System's
restige and leadership in public higher education, including its graduate and professional
rograms, as fundamental to the state's economic, social, technological, and cultural
dvancement. The University System of Georgia and its component colleges and
niversities will sustain close contact vv'ith the people of Georgia, be responsive to the
eeds of Georgians first and foremost while raising their aspirations, and generate a more
ighly educated populace throughout the state. It will seek to create for students from
arious backgrounds every possible avenue to intellectual achievement without
ompromising academic excellence, and challenge them to their full potential for
jadership. Its students, who are its heart and soul, will therefore be its strongest
upporters.

A Day a Success!

The balloon has landed, the checks have come in and continue to come in and the toasts
have been toasted. AG's first annual A Day For Augusta College proved to be a roaring
success, thanks to all the many volunteers and contributors starting with our own AC
faculty and staff, who with over 175 contributors, pledged the first $30,000.

On-campus contributions include those to the Faculty-Alumni Scholars program. Annual
Fund, Jaguar Club and specific academic programs. Special thanks and hats off to the
Faculty Club, HEOPA and the President's Cabinet for providing the leadership for A Day
on campus.

According to Acting Executive Director of Development Helen Hendee, over $ 1 32,000
was contributed or pledged to the college by the end of the Oct. 1 8 fund raising and "friend
raising" day, surpassing the $96,000 goal. A Day proved that Augusta College is a vital
and well-appreciated part of the Augusta community and, really, Augusta's college.

Thank you to all who helped make this first A Day For Augusta College a success!

Voting Made Easy

Reading the proposed amendments to any state constitution is
always a difficult task, but Augusta College 's Gwen Wood, assistant
professor of political science, has ironed out all the political
wrinkles and produced an easy-to-understand explanation of each
one. Dr. Wood performed the same service for a local television
station two years ago. "The material is just not easy to understand, "
she said. The amendments will be on the Georgia ballot for the
November 8 general election. With a tremendous "Thank You,"
FACT presents her explanations:

Amendment 1:

Amendment One would allow cities and counties which have
developed regional facilities to share tax revenues collected from
these facilities. Examples of regional facilities include industrial
parks, airports, convention centers, and athletic and recreational
complexes.

She co-owned a successful beauty parlor,
had a brand-new car in the driveway, was
buyingahome and still wasn't happy. Some-
thing was gnawing inside of her., .a longing
for a more gratifying life. She wanted to go
to college.

The story of AC student Vickie Love was
told to members of the Exchange Club of
Augusta last week at the Opening Day
ceremonies for the club's annual fair. The
William Lester Scholarship recipient
thanked Exchangites for the scholarship
which changed her life. Her words:

Hi, mynameis VickieLove, and I am afreshman at Augusta College.
I am happy to be able to be here today and personally express my sincere
gratitude to your organization for my scholarship. I received the William
Lester Scholarship for a non-traditional student with a hardship case, being
that I am a 27-year-old student although I prefer "inspirational, "and, also,
I didn 't fully understand the term "hardship " until I started school in
January.

I 'd like to briefly explain a little about myself and therefore help you
all understand why this scholarship means so much to me.

I worked in the cosmetology field for 10 years and was quite
successful. In 1990 I became a co-owner of a small salon that was very
prosperous. Ihadanewcar, I was purchasing a home, and could buy almost
anything that I wanted, but there was something missing: I wanted a higher
education / wanted to go to college. So in 1 992 1 sold my part of the business,
rented my home, moved in with my parents, and worked to pay off a lot of bills
and to save money to go to school.

I lived in my hometown, Moultrie, Ga., but I spent a great deal of time
in Augusta visiting friends, so I decided to move here and attend AC.

So I moved here in January and started my new life as a student. I
went from one environment, financially stable and being pretty much care-
free after work and on the weekends, to a totally new environment, hardly any
money studying all the time and continuous worry over my financial
situation, my grades but most of all, I wondered every day of my first three
quarters if I had made the right decision.

In A ugust I went into the Financial Aid Office at AC to fill out another
student loan application and was once again questioning myself about my
decision to go to school and feeling very down in the dumps, but was totally
surprised when I found out that I had been picked to receive this scholarship.
It was like a sign from God assuring me that I was doing the right thing.

Since that day, I have had an even stronger drive to continue my
education, and I am inspired to try to do the best that I possibly can.

Again I want to say thank you for your help and for the added
inspiration that this scholarship has given me.

Proposed Amendments

continued from front page

Amendment 2:

Amendment Two would allow
the General Assembly to enact laws
providing for mandatory service (com-
pletion) of sentences for persons ac-
cused of armed robbery, kidnapping,
rape, aggravated child molestation, ag-
gravated sodomy, or aggravated sexual
battery. Also, the General Assembly
would be allowed to provide for the
imposition of sentences of life without
parole for persons convicted of murder.
Life without parole could also apply to
those persons who have been previously
convicted of the aforementioned six of-
fenses and who subsequently commit
and are convicted of one such offense
again.

The State Board of Pardons and
Paroles would be prohibited from con-
sidering persons in either of these cate-
gories for pardon, parole, or commuta-
tion during the time they are fulfilling the
mandatory sentences outlined above.

The amendment would provide
a means of making exceptions for con-
victed persons who are subsequently
found to be innocent of the crime men-
tioned in the categories listed above.
Also, there could be exceptions for those
who are medically incapacitated or for
elderly persons.

Amendment 3:

Amendment Three would allow
health care providers (hospitals, physi-
cians) to enter into contracts directly
with consumers. The effect would be to
have provider-based health care plans
competing with insurance companies.

Amendment 4:

Amendment Four would autho-
rize the General Assembly to establish
special courts as pilot projects of limited
duration. Examples would be courts set

up to deal with controlled substanc-
es (Drug Courts) or domestic issues
(Family Courts).

Amendment 5:

Amendment Five would le-
galize the practice of holding raffles
by non-profit organizafions. This
clarifies existing law pertaining to
gambling and recognizes raffles
conducted by such groups as church-
es and little league teams.

Amendment 6:

Amendment Six specifical-
ly delegates to the counties and
municipalities the power of regulat-
ing, restricting or prohibiting the
sale or consumption of alcoholic
beverages in nude dance clubs.

Statewide
Referendum Items

Referendum Item 1:

This referendum would give
voter approval to an Act of the
General Assembly which would
change the method of computing
homestead exemptions for elderly
residents with incomes under
$30,000. The provision would
freeze the assessed value of resi-
dences of elderly persons who qual-
ify so that the only value added to
the property would come from phys-
ical improvements on the property
and not from rising values of nearby
parcels of land. Increases in the
assessed value would be indexed to
inflation, in effect creating a "float-
ing homestead exemption."

Referendum Item 2:

This referendum would give
voter approval of an Act of the
General Assembly which would
grant an exemption from property
taxes on blueberry plants.

Planning Spaces for Future Technology

New teaching technologies, the proliferation of sources of information, and a change in
the traditional teacher-student relationship have led to a revolution in pedagogy that
requires "a whole new way to think about teaching spaces. "

Advice for planners:

Plan for the full range of teaching options, from small seminars to large technologically

interactive courses.
Plan for change and flexibility so that, as new technologies are introduced, the campus is

not locked into an old one.
Focus on the exchange of ideas and the acquisition of knowledge rather than on the

latest technology or learning theory.
"What is essential is that planners determine the optimum mix and configuration of
teaching facilities for the future prior to beginning any classroom modernization program,
and then prioritize the sequence of work in some reasonable manner."

Cofflmencement

Ceremony

Dec. 10

Fall Commencement will be
held on Saturday, Dec. 10, at
10 a.m. at the P.E./Athletic

Complex. Approximately 239
students will receive diplomas.

Frank H. Chou, Ed.D., was

selected by the graduating se-
niors to deliver the commence-
ment address. Rejoined the AC
faculty in 1960. He was hon-
ored as Outstanding Professor
of the Year by the student body
in 1965. He was again chosen
Professor of the year by stu-
dents and alumni in 1986. He
served as speaker at the sunmier
commencement in 1977 and
1983.

The Sociology Club is gathering new and used toys to be distributed to needy
children during the holidays. Money is also being accepted to buy personal care
items and gifts for semi-invalids and shut-ins, to be distributed through Care
Management Inc. The drive will end on Dec. 20. Contact: Jill Trout (club
president) c/o the Sociology Dept.

The AC chapter of Psi Chi (national psychology honor society) and SGAE
(Student Georgia Association of Educators) put up some Christmas trees around
campus with paper "ornaments" indicating gift items that could be purchased for
needy children and their families who are served by MCG's Children's Medical
Service. The items will be distributed on Dec. 13 at a Christmas party at MCG.

Happy Holidays!

Student-Athletes
Come From Aftr

KciH/^ ^H^j^yU Q'iyOA/^

AC student-athletes arrive on campusfrom cities throughout the
U.S. and abroad. There are 15 from other countries, 16 from
other states, and 46 from Georgia towns outside of the CSRA.

The international students are from Ireland (men's bas-
ketball); New Zealand (women's basketball); Wales, UK (golf);
Scotland (soccer); Bermuda, (soccer); Germany (soccer, golf
and tennis); Croatia and Australia (tennis).

Other states represented are Indiana, Maryland, North
Carolina, Virginia, California, Colorado, Ohio, Illinois, New
Mexico, South Carolina and Florida.

The name of the most vital "game" in athletics is
recruiting, according to Director of Athletics Chnt Bryant, who
said recruiting efforts fan out to about a 150-mile radius of
campus. Scholarships are a strong drawing card. "This year, our
scholarship budget from the AC Athletic Assn. is $376,000. Out
of 110 student athletes, 1(X) are receiving financial aid. In
addition, athletes constitute about 25 percent of the college's
intemational student tuition waivers."

The affordability of attending AC is another attraction,
he said. "Getting this kind of quality education at a similar college
in the Northeast would cost students between $12,000 and
$15,000 a year," he said.

Ten AC students were selected for the 1 995 edition ofWho 's Who
Among Students in American Universities and Colleges. Judie
L. Arnold and June W. Barksdale, psychology graduate stu-
dents ;Ginger A. Beck, junior physics major; Jarrod G. DuBose-
Schmitt, senior heahh and P.E. major; William J. Dunwoody,
senior physical science major; Latarsha S. Freeman, junior
early childhood educ^on major;Natasha Hendrix, junior French
major; Jennifer L. HoUingsworth, senior Spanish major; Amy
M. Huff, senior music education major; Ginger C. Moseley,
senior psychology major.
