Chancellor Speaks Before Joint Appropriations Committee
DR Vernon Crawford chancellor of the University System of Georgia spoke before a Georgia General Assembly joint House and Senate appropriations committee January 26 to inform its members of the recent accomplishments as well as the current needs of the University System
Referring to the Fiscal Year 85 budget Dr Crawford stressed the four recommendations made in the final report of the Study Committee on Public Higher Education Finance entitled Formula for Excellence issued in September 1982 Those four recommendations which Dr Crawford said the Board of Regents and its staff have been endorsing for the past two years are
1that the teaching institutions generating indirect income on research grants and contracts be allowed to retain these funds in their budgets
2that one percent be added to the budget for quality improvement
3that a Major Repair and Rehabilitation Fund be established for each years operation of the physical plant at an amount equal to three quarters of one percent of the plant replacement value and
4that student tuition and fees be raised until in aggregate students pay 25 of the cost of their education the amount of the annual tuition and fee increase not to exceed 15
In reference to recommendation number four Dr Crawford said that as a result of increases approved by the Regents students are now paying 237 of the cost of their education and one more increase will bring their contribution up to the 25 level
Dr Crawford said that Governor Joe Frank Harris has addressed the first recommendation in his Fiscal Year 85 budget by urging a phasein of 100 retention of the indirect cost recoveries over a threeyear period and he addressed the second point by recommending that 6 million be allocated for quality improvement
Dr Crawford praised the Governor for recognizing the needs in these two areas and he added that Governor Harris recommendations indicate a keen awareness of the value ot incentives to raise money for external sources and the need to improve quality continually
Dr Crawford asked the legislators to preserve the additions which the Governor has recommended and said that these additions would help make substantial progress toward full formula funding
In referring to the reports third recommendation the Chancellor asked the legislators to be aware of the need to appropriate three quarters of one percent of the plant replacement value to a Major Repair and Renovation Fund raising the amount to 177 million rather than the 59 million recommended by Governor Harris Dr Crawford emphasized the significance of the problems caused by deferred maintenance
Another goal for the Fiscal Year 85 budget Dr Crawford said is to receive 3 million for the enhancement ot the campuses of the
three traditionally black institutions This amount was specified by the original desegregation program and has been requested by the Regents but not received every year since

The new policy does allow for provisional admission to the states public colleges and universities for those students who do not have the required credits Within guidelines that will soon be announced and with the approval of the Chancellor each institution will be responsible for setting up its own admission standards said Dr Cleere
Chancellor Vernon Crawford said that the new curriculum will greatly reduce our obligation to developmental studies More than 11000 students in the state are enrolled in developmental studies courses
One potential problem for many high school students in the state will be the lack of available instructors of foreign languages There is a shortage of foreign languages teachers in many of the smaller school systems said Dr Cleere However unless we take a bold step like this were going to all but lose foreign languages instruction in this state by the end of the 1980s
The new precollege curriculum was also endorsed by the State Board of Education at a joint meeting with the Board of Regents on February 8
Board Receives Report on Asbestos Abatement at Institutions
A report was given to the Board of Regents at the February 78 meeting on asbestos abatement plans for the University System The report prepared by Frank Dunham vice chancellor for facilities outlines the asbestos situation at 24 institutions in the System
According to Dunham the Georgia State Division of Public Health has identified 41 dormitories and 59 nondormitories that are in need of asbestos abatement The final report from Public Health is not yet available
The Georgia General Assembly has approved 44 million in bonds for use in asbestos removal Our recommendation to the Board said Dunham is that the abatement in dormitories be the first priority to be handled in this procedure We expect that bids for the work can go out in April and that the work will begin this summer It is our hope that all the dormitories will be ready for fall quarter 1984 The money appropriated is in line with our cost estimate for abatement in the dormitories
Approximately 7 million will still be needed to clear up the asbestos abatement within the System added Dunham
A survey of the 1300 major buildings in the University System was begun in April of 1983 by the Division of Public Health The 100 buildings affected represent only 77 percent of the buildings in the System We were delighted that the problem was not nearly as great as we had anticipated said Dunham
The institutions affected and the number of dormitories and nondormitory buildings with asbestos are as follows
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College1 nondormitory 1 dormitory Albany State College3 dormitories Clayton Junior College1 nondormitory Columbus College1 nondormitory Dalton Junior College2 nondormitories Floyd Junior College1 nondormitory Fort Valley State College3 nondormitories 1 dormitory Georgia College1 nondormitory 3 dormitories Georgia Experiment Station1 nondormitory Georgia Institute of

Demolition and Renovation Plans Rental Agreements Approved
Rental agreements and demolition and renovation plans were authorized at the Board of Regents February meeting
Georgia Institute of Technology
The Board authorized the execution of a rental agreement with 600 West Peachtree Inc covering 8053 square feet of office space known as Suite 1212 Life of Georgia Tower for the use of Georgia Techs Engineering Experiment Stations Trade Adjustment Assistance Center TAAC
The rental period will begin March 1 1984 and run through June 30 1984 at a monthly rate of 10281 or 1532 per square foot per year
A second rental agreement for the same space at the same price was authorized for the period beginning July 1 1984 and ending June 30 1985 with an option to renew for two consecutive years
Because of a lack of office space on the Georgia Tech campus the US Department of Commerces International Trade Administration had requested that space be found close to the campus to house offices for the staff of Techs TAAC
The Department of Commerces International Trade Administration has agreed to pay up to 51000 per year toward annual rental of this offcampus office space This 51000 represents 633 per square foot per year of the 1532 per square foot per year to be paid for rental of the space in the Life of Georgia Tower
institution functions which are now housed in an old wood frame onestory temporary building adjacent to the rear of the Student Center The project also involves improving the food service area on the main floor of the center
Southern Technical Institute
The Board authorized the allocation of 70000 in Major RepairRehabilitation Funds for Fiscal Year 1984 to Southern Technical Institute for the balance of the funds needed to reroof the institutes gymnasium
The present roof on the Southern Tech gym has leaked for approximately one year causing water damage to the structural system over the trusses beneath the present roof membrane The present roof has been repaired on several occasions by the contractor who installed it but the leaking continued
Following negotiations 28750 was collected from the contractors bonding company and these funds which are in the hands of Southern Tech will be used for part of the cost of a complete new roof membrane and the replacement of the damaged roof deck below the membrane
The award of a construction contract to Brannon Brothers Roofing Company Inc in the amount of 96700 for the reroofing and repair of the roof structure was also authorized by the Board
Georgia Southern College
The Board authorized the execution of a 200000 per year rental agreement with Southern Boosters Inc covering the land and the stadium which is known as Allen E Paulsen Stadium and is located at the intersection of Chandler Road and Lanier Road in Statesboro for the use of Georgia Southern College
The rental period will begin July 1 1984 and end June 30 1985 with the option to renew on a yearly basis for 19 consecutive years At the end of the 20year rental period the Board will have the option to purchase the property for 1
Georgia Southern College is expected to raise the 200000 annual rental payment with no commitment or pledge of state funds through proceeds from gate receipts from athletic events held in the stadium privately donated funds fund raising events and student athletic fees which are currently 33 per quarter per student
The stadium is being built by Southern Boosters Inc on land purchased by Southern Boosters Inc and will be used by the Athletic Department at Georgia Southern for football games and other athletic events and for athletic programs at the college
South Georgia College
A recommendation that the Regents ask the Georgia Education Authority University to allocate 291900 from the unobligated balances in the remaining GEAU Bond Issues to be used for the renovation of the Student Center at South Georgia College was approved by the Board
This project involves rearranging a major portion of the second floor of the student center to provide for the use of the space by the
University of Georgia
The demolition and removal of a shed type building from the campus of the University of Georgia using university forces was authorized by the Board
The building constructed in 1957 contains 33880 square feet and is known as Building No 1631 The building is substandard beyond economic repair and is no longer needed by the universitys Physical Plant

The System Summary
Administrative Reorganization Approved for Medical College
The Medical College of Georgia was authorized by the Board of Regents at its February meeting to execute an administrative reorganization plan as requested by President Jesse L Steinfeld
The new administrative structure immediately effective includes the following changes
1Change of title of the position of provost to vice president for academic affairs
2Establishment of the positions of vice president for development vice president for research halftime position and vice president for clinical activities halftime position
3Change of reporting responsibility of the hospital administrator from the dean of the School of Medicine to the president
4Change of reporting responsibility of the Internal Auditing Division from the vice president for business and finance to the president
This reorganization adds three positions at the level of vice president research development and clinical activities but the positions of vice president for research and the dean of the School of Graduate Studies an existing position will be filled by the same person and the vice president for clinical activities will be a parttime responsibility of a yettobeidentified member of the clinical faculty The only totally new position will be the vice president for development
The new organizational structure will emphasize the importance of areas of present concern such as research fund raising and image enhancement development and hospital clinical services
The Medical College expects to realize a financial savings because of a planned elimination of a number of lower level administrative positions by the end of the 198485 fiscal year Also a minimal number of changes in line responsibilities should improve the effectiveness of administration according to college officials
Because the hospital administrator is responsible for a substantial operation he will report directly to the president and will assume a position in the organization equivalent to that of the deans
Because the responsibilities of the Internal Auditing Division include the review of financial transactions the director of this division will now report to the president
Desegregation Report Given
A progress report on the implementation of the revised desegregation plan has been submitted by the Board of Regents to the US Department of Educations Office for Civil Rights OCR
The revised plan which is a 1983 Addendum to the 1978 Plan for the Further Desegregation of the University System of Georgia received approval from the OCR in October 1983
The progress report submitted on January 30 1984 addresses each of the commitments made in the 1983 Addendum and includes
institutional progress reports dealing with student recruitment and retention and employment activities
In a report made to the Board at its February meeting Executive Vice Chancellor H Dean Fropst said that an analysis of the status of the 1978 plan commitments indicates that many activities are completed and others are in progress
Vice Chancellor Frank Dunham To Retire After Serving 18 Years
Frank C Dunham vice chancellor for facilities will retire from the University System of Georgia on April 1 1984 A member of the central office staff of the Board of Regents since 1966 Mr Dunham has served in several capacities in his 18 years of service among them director of construction and physical plant and vice chancellor for construction and physical plant
Born in Chicago Illinois on December 9 1913 Mr Dunham received his BS degree in civil engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology Prior to joining the Regents staff Mr Dunham was vice president of dcGive Dunham ONeill Inc general building contractors He has also served as an officer in the US Army Corps of Engineers and worked for the Panama Canal Company the Tennessee Valley Authority and Johns Manville Corporation
He will be the one individual in the University System who because of his unique knowledge will be impossible to replace said Chancellor Vernon Crawford His encyclopedic knowledge of the physical settings of the University System is a phenomenon unlikely to ever be duplicated His reputation for honest wise and efficient dealings has been a most valuable asset to the University System in its interaction with all of the public with whom we deal
Dr Crawford also praised Mr Dunham as a close personal friend to virtually everyone on the central office staff and to many in the governors office and the General Assembly He is widely admired and respected throughout the System 1 only regret continued Dr Crawford that my efforts to have legislation which would declare Frank Dunham 29 years of age in perpetuity have failed
The following is a portion of a Georgia General Assembly resolution commending Mr Dunham Similar resolutions were passed in both the House and Senate
WHEREAS Mr Frank Dunham has announced his decision to retire from his current position as the Vice Chancellor Facilities to the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia a position he has held since 1966 and
WHEREAS the university system has benefited greatly from his professional expertise as demonstrated by the careful planning and development of its physical plant and facilities and his technical knowledge and management ability will be sorely missed by those in the administrative circle of the board of regents and by his friends in the university system
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body commend Mr Frank C Dunham for his dedicated service to the Board of Regents of the University System and for his special contributions to higher education in Georgia and extend to him their sincere best wishes for health and happiness in his retirement

PERSPECTIVE
Editor s NOTE Chairman of the Board of Regents Dr John E Skandalakis was the keynote speaker at the 1984 Annual joint Meeting of Sigma Xi Scientific Research Society on January 31 Members of the society came from the Centers for Disease Control Emory University and Georgia Institute of Technology The speech was entitled The Philosophy of an Educator and Regent About Research in the State of Georgia Because we believe many of our readers would be interested in Dr Skandalakis remarks we have printed below excerpts from the speech
The State of Georgia is once again in a period of potential developmentin this instance it concerns that activity which brings us together research Insofar as 1 can I will exact a balanced leadership at the Board to keep instruction research and science in perspective When it comes to research I recognize the breadth of its endeavorfrom the highly theoretical experimental ideal to the highly pragmatic translating the fruits of research for the common good
You know and I know that most of the basic research in the United States has been done by universities In many cases grants supported departments and even schools For all practical purposes the grants helped the survival of the school I do understand the severe anxiety reaction of academia with the shrinking of federal funds
The cost of modern research is tremendous Philanthropic organizations contribute only a minimal part Industrial research is a hope but collaborative research of industry and government will be our greatest hope
The four universities have received awards in almost every field However within each university there are areas which have developed national reputations and are responsible for the greatest dollar awards
Distinguished research faculty who are attracted to Georgia set the pace in their respective fields
There have been some who have wondered whether research in our University System has adversely affected our academic programs On the Board of Regents we believe the truth is that research greatly assists our educational programs
Many of the faculty members at our institutions are attracted to Georgia by the opportunities we have for them to be involved in research It provides them with the professional development opportunities to keep them at the cutting edge of knowledge in their fields Undergraduates benefit from what the researcher learns and
graduate students are invariably involved in the actual research effort itself The students are frequently able to help finance their college education by means of employment in research projects Certainly they learn by doing
Money brought into the University System by research contracts contributes to the academic budget and carries more than its share of the costs of supporting services such as campus security business and personnel activities maintenance and utilities In addition research funding provides new equipment essential travel for faculty members and for the publishing of research findings At Georgia Tech for example indirect income or overhead as it is sometimes called from research this year alone supports more than 17 million of general institutional expenses
Distinguished research faculty who are attracted to Georgia set the pace in their respective fields thereby building the national reputation of the entire University System Those are just a few of the reasons why we Board members are so supportive of the research efforts of our universities
As you know research is the principal activity that distinguishes the university from a junior or senior college
In Georgia we have tried to use our resources to the best advantageby assigning primary responsibilities for research missions to individual institutionswhile in the neighboring states there have been instances of spreading resources too thin in too many institutions and diluting the effectiveness of the programs
In our state the University of Georgia has the primary responsibility for agricultural research Georgia Tech for engineering research the Medical College for medical research and Georgia State University for business
But we face a time when public support for higher education has never been lower We face a time when federal aid to students is declining We face a time when we are seriously concerned about the skills of graduating high school seniors We face a time when many of Georgias talented youth are selecting employment rather than higher education
We face a time when our whole society is shifting from an industrial society to an information society And we face a time when the state has limited financial resources
A cursory look at professional technical journals reporting on research clearly indicates that research today is a sophisticated endeavor The competition for available funds state federal industrial and private is there A fierce competition for extra or intramural funds is the name of the game
There is the question of which research program should be supported The judgment to be exercised say in academia may well involve the discipline specialist the department the college the whole university and in some cases the System and then the Board of Regents Who makes the decision of course depends upon the scope of the program under consideration

The System Summary
On Research in Georgia
There are illustrations where research programs have been undertaken because funds were available say from some extramural source and therefore for the wrong reason One gets the impression too that dollars and bigness of a research program are important elements all too often the substance of the program and its implications are lost sight of and not mentioned
Research programs in Georgia are not very old If I recall correctly the first research doctorate was awarded by Georgia Tech in the early 50s a mere 30 years ago We have gotten into this activity only recently
Clearly the university research community carries the heavy burden in the organization and development of new knowledge in this country
In keeping with this latter thought 1 have always had appreciation for the intrinsic character of research associated with instruction After all what we teach are the results of earlier research findings and therefore what we teach should always be under the ethical eye of the good teacher
I have been impressed by the number of instructors at junior colleges and senior colleges who produce works of research Universitylevel faculty should have a fulltime commitment to research and if they dont they dont belong there
Is not the good teacher always inspiring to inquiring minds This intrinsic character of research is often lost sight of Also lost sight of is the need to translate research findings in the everyday technical environment for the common good A wonderful example is the Cooperative Extension Service and its ties to instruction and research The Agricultural Experiment Station concept is another example
Research brings outside money to the state of Georgia Ordinarily for every 1 the state invests our research universities bring in 6 to the Georgia economy from outside the state treasury Thats a pretty good return on an investment600 Those research earnings ripple through the Georgia economy multiplying as they go so that the ultimate economic benefit to Georgia is estimated at more than a quarter of a billion dollars by Georgia Tech this year alone
1 can assure you that the Board of Regents appreciates that kind of contribution The educational economic benefits of research led the Regents this year to make strong funding recommendations to the governor and the legislature
A recent study has shown that universities in this country do seven times as much basic research than does all of industry Industry of course does a much greater amount of applied and productoriented research Clearly the university research community carries the heavy burden in the organization and development of new knowledge in this country
By most measures of research activity such as dollars expended or doctoral degrees awarded the state of Georgia has improved tremendously in recent years but continues to be a somewhat underdeveloped section of the United States with the transition of this state from an agrarian society to an industrial society The leadership of university researchers is particularly crucial to the continued economic strength and development of the state
Because of the seemingly everdecreasing federal budgets for research it is important for the state of Georgia to increase its efforts to support basic research This is urgent for a number of reasons 1 to provide training at the cutting edge of science for the youth of Georgia 2 to make the state more attractive to socalled hightechnology industry which could include everything from the computer chip to biotechnology and its application to health care 3 to provide a fund to assist young faculty members in initiating research programs and thus enable them to become more competitive in securing federal funds
We must apply our research to the common good We must continue to examine the states needs for research as we do in agriculture for without this state needs produce a provincialism
Our graduate professional research programs must be national in their perspective and scope discipline and concepts The field and the lab must be fellow travelers We need to continue and to enlarge upon the flow of information from the field to the lab and vice versa
Georgia is a latecomer into research We dont have too much time to catch up
With your help Im sure America will remain as Lincoln said the last best hope of earth

A PUBLICATION OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIA
VOL 20 NO 3MARCH 1984
Chancellor Vernon Crawford To Retire in June 1985
Dr Vernon Crawford
DR Vernon Crawford Chancellor of the University System of Georgia will retire on June 30 1985 His retirement was announced by letter to the members of the Board of Regents and institution presidents on March I
Dr Crawford has served as chancellor for the University System since May 20 1980 He was acting chancellor from June 15 1979 until his appointment as chancellor Before joining the staff of the Board of Regents Dr Crawford was a professor of physics at the Georgia Institute of Technology While at Georgia Tech he served in a number of capacities including acting president in 1969 vice president of academic affairs from 196980 and acting dean of the College of Industrial Management from 197778
In his letter to members of the Board Dr Crawford wrote My years as chancellor of the University System of Georgia will always be the most memorable part of my professional life made so by the wonderful people 1 have been privileged to work with Regents cential oltice staff and the hundreds of faculty members and administrators in the System No one could ask for more competent 111010 supportive or more congenial colleagues

erable experience with the University System on which to draw the first of which has been in the central office where his responsibilities have extended to every institution within the System continued Dr Crawford
He has managed the budget which now totals almost I billion with the most careful attention to legality without losing the perspective of the facilitator whose job it is to find ways in which tasks can be accomplished not to explain why nothing can be done Shealy has gotten things done
Dr Crawford also lauded Mr McCoy by saying No one who deals with Shealy ever has any difficulty in understanding where he stands on the issue under discussion His total frankness some have called it bluntness is legendary and while it is not always endearing its refreshing 1 have leaned very heavily on Shealys advice during the years 1 have been Chancellor 1 hope the next Chancellor will be as fortunate as 1 have been in his chief fiscal officer
The following is a portion of a Georgia General Assembly resolution commending Mr McCoy Similar resolutions were passed in both the House and Senate
WHEREAS the State of Georgia and its people may be justly proud of this native of Jefferson County who has contributed so greatly to the cause of higher education and who also served his country with distinction as an officer of the United States Army during the Second World War who received among other decorations the Purple Heart the Bronze Star and Cluster and the Silver Star and
WHEREAS it is fitting that this body express its sentiments on the occasion of Mr McCoys retirement from service to the state
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that this body recognizes and commends Shealy E McCoy for his many valuable contributions to his state and nation and expresses its gratitude for his long and dedicated years of public service

Matriculation Nonresident Tuition Fees Increase by 15
A 15 PERCENT INCREASE IN MATRICULATION fees and nonresident tuition fees for all University System institutions was approved by the Board of Regents at the March meeting and will take effect with the 1984 summer quarter
The 1985 fiscal year budget request for state appropriations which was approved by the Board in September 1983 was based on a 15 percent increase in revenue from student fees The March action taken by the Regents approved the specific application of those student fees
Matriculation fees are paid by all students nonresident tuition fees are paid in addition to matriculation fees by students who do not meet Georgia residency requirements set forth in the policies of the Board of Regents
When the increase goes into effect students will be paying 25 percent of the cost of their education meeting the recommendation from the Study Committee on Public Higher Education Finance for a 75 to 25 ratio in which the state pays 75 percent of the cost of resident instruction and the students make up the remaining 25 percent The study committees recommendation was included in
its 1982 report titled Formula for Excellence Financing Georgias University System in the Eighties
According to Chancellor Vernon Crawford This should be the last of the large fee increases for a while In future years only relatively small increases to keep up with the increased cost of education should be required
In recent years he continued we have been making up for a period when fees were not increased and when the students contributions fell from 25 percent to 16 percent of the cost of their education
It is anticipated that future tuition increases will be tied to the rate of inflation or will reflect program improvements at the institutions Several years ago members of the Student Advisory Committee agreed with the recommendation that students share in the cost of funding resident instruction at the 25 percent level
The table on Page 9 includes the present and the newly authorized matriculation fees and nonresident tuition fees for students at institutions of the University System of Georgia

PERSPECTIVE
Editor s Non At the 56tli Annual Georgia Press Institute held at the University of Georgia on February 22 984 Vernon Crawford chancellor of the University System served as a member of a panel addressing the subject of Crisis in Education The following article written by Dr Crawford includes most of his remarks at that meeting Portions of the article were printed in the Sunday March 18 1984 edition The Atlanta Journal and Constitution
Much has been written during the past year about the ilihealth of education in America Perhaps the most widely quoted of the many reports on the subject is the one issued by the National Commission on Excellence in Education which is entitled A Nation At Risk and includes the statement If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today we might well have viewed it as an act of War A strong statement
That report goes on to chronicle what it perceives to be the shortcomings in education focusing on the alleged deficiencies in elementary and secondary schooling and proceeds to recommend needed reforms most of which incidentally were in place in Georgia or were in the process of implementation when the report appeared a year ago
In what follows 1 will focus on only one educational problem area language skills I consider the deterioration of the ability to use the languagestandard Englishto be the most serious educational problem and one of the most serious social problems confronting America today Its effects are pervasive affecting adults as well as school children
Some Facts
The Adult Performance Level survey sponsored by the Federal Government in 1975 determined that 23 million adults were functionally illiterate and an additional 34 million were functional but not proficient A functionally illiterate adult is one who cannot read or write well enough to function in society ie one who cannot read a wantad complete a job application take written instructions or make written reports Nineteen percent ot all adults were in this category in 1975 with an additional 28 percent being less than proficient with the written language There is no evi
dence to suggest that the situation has improved since 1975
According to Barbara Bush Vice President George Bushs wife for whom the attack on illiteracy has become a crusade illiterates constitute about 60 percent of our prison population The nation spends nearly 66 billion annually to keep 700000 illiterates incarcerated No great leap of the imagination is required to reach the conclusion that many of these unfortunates are in prison because they are illiterate Being virtually unemployable they turn to crime as a method of making a living
Eightyfive percent of juvenile offenders says Mrs Bush are disabled readers As the twig is bent
The verbal abilities of our nations high school students as measured by Scholastic Aptitude Test SAT scores declined for over a decade before bottomingout last year One hopes it is a bottomingout and not just a temporary interruption of the downward slide In the University System of Georgia approximately 30 percent of the students usually sophom*oreswho take the Regents Test fail it The Regents Test measures the ability to read and write at a minimally acceptable level
The reasons for the decline in language skills are too numerous and too complex to receive a full accounting here but surely some of the decline is related to the television set and the video game I am not arguing that TV watching and videogame playing are harmful pursuits in themselvestime wasting perhaps except for public television but not overtly harmful Their effect on the literate skills is that they occupy so much time some of which in an earlier era was spent in reading books From reading books one acquires a feel for language from good books good language There is no substitute for the experience of reading in the development of individual literacy That is why I argue with a pun intended that literacy is going down the tube
The difficulty people experience in their attempts to write with clarity is even greater than their difficulty with reading Anyone who has read a typical collection of student themes or term papers will agree that for many of our high school and college students writing is becoming a lost art Until students are required to read more to write more and to have their writing criticized by competent teachers the situation is unlikely to improve

Thk Systkm Summary
On Declining Language Skills
Writing is particularly important because in the words of Dr Ernest Boyer clear writing is clear thinking If there is anything this country needs it is clear thinking
The commercial television set provides us with a standard of spoken English which with some exceptions is not too bad One of the exceptions which unfortunately represents perhaps the most popular programming format is the typical sports broadcast Here are some comments 1 have jotted down as I have heard them from my set
He has more years of longevity than any player in the league
He just momentumed his way to that gain
Thats very well put Thats exactly what he did He
momentumed his way
Wouldnt you agree that that was one of the alltime greatest golf shots of the year
Sure the moneys important but it is the memory of winning the championship that is a sight to behold
Rock music for all its meritsand 1 am convinced it has merits although I have never been able to discover them offers little that is likely to endure in its lyrics On second thought the orgiastic grunts and the endlessly repeated meaningless phrases which accompany much of todays hard rock music may be all that endures when the English language has disappeared through neglect and misuse
In Georgia thanks to the leadership ol the State Board ol Education and the dedicated efforts ol teachers across the state a great improvement has been made in the literacy and other basic skills of our students This year for the first time fourth eighth and 10th graders are performing at the national average on the Iowa Basic Skills Test This is a significant accomplishment particularly at the eighth grade level where the students were a full year behind the national average just 10 years ago
Today the spotlight is on education as it has not been since 1957 when the launching of the first Russian Sputnik caused us to ask why America had fallen behind Russia in science and technology The answer we arrived at then was that the education in science and mathematics provided by our schools was inferior to theirs
There is just one word to describe the Jacksonville offense speed and attack
Ones sensitivity for language is hardly heightened by listening to English spoken at that level
English teachers used to believe that requiring students to memorize good poetry was a method of developing appreciation for language I hope that they still do As a student 1 did not particularly enjoy the exercise but as an adult 1 am glad 1 was put through it
One form of poetry some of it excellent which we memorized without even being conscious that we were doing it was the lyric poetry of the songs which were popular in the prerock era The Days of Wine and Roses by Johnny Mercer Stardust and Deep Purple by Mitchell Parish All the Things You Are by Oscar Hammerstein II and hundreds of other songs by such geniuses as Ira Gershwin Irving Berlin and Lorenz Hart all became part of our psyches and I am convinced shaped our appreciation for the imaginative apt and beautiful use of language
The current examination of our educational system will reveal that a subject of even more fundamental importance than mathematics and science is at risk and with it the nation That subject is English standard English We all should be concerned with that revelation and should insist on a solution through better more intensive English instruction higher standards better pay for superior English teachers and fewer outside irrelevant demands on their time
Dr Vernon Crawford has served as chancellor for the University System since May 20 1980 and he was acting chancellor from June 15 1979 until his appointment as chancellor
OCR Continued from Page I
while failing to remedy the effects of past discrimination at the three traditionally black colleges The letter also states that the University System has failed to fulfill its affirmative remedial obligation to ensure that equal educational opportunities arc provided at the three TBIs in comparison to the System as a whole
Dr Crawford told the Board of Regents I disagree with all of the findings They imply that in the past the University System has practiced discrimination at the TBIs and as a result the students at those institutions still suffer adverse consequences or that the students currently at TBIs are the victims of discrimination from their pasts and that the University System has failed to remedy the effects of that discrimination
Dr Crawford also pointed out to the Board of Regents that for the past 30 years the TBIs have received more money per fulltime equivalent student than any of the other senior colleges In the current year the perstudent figures are
Total Budget State Appropriation
Albany State College65415350
Fort Valley State College65035427
Savannah State College58164595
Senior College Average41403146
If there is discrimination in the allocation of resources it is in favor of the TBIs and has been for 30 years said Dr Crawford
Dr Crawford expressed the conviction that the University System cannot be charged with and cannot accept the responsibility of redressing the discriminatory practices to which students may have been subjected before they entered the System
Concerning the allegation that the University System has discriminated against the TBIs by not providing remedial programs at those institutions compared with those provided the System as a whole Dr Crawford stated flic Regents and the Central Office recognize that the people best qualified to determine the appropriate types of remediation are those closest to the action namely the faculties and the administrators of the individual institutions The University System supplies the resources the individual institutions design and conduct the programs said Dr Crawford In the case of the TBIs the System provides generous resources and the TBIs devote more of those resources per student to remedial studies than do most other senior colleges
Dr Crawford told the Regents that the University System provides a chance for students to demonstrate that they can succeed at college even though at entrance they may lack the standard credentials That chance is provided at some of our institutions including the TBIs by means of lower entrance requirements and extensive programs in developmental studies Given those facts it is inevitable that the failure rates at the TBIs will be higher than average on standardized tests he continued The commitment of the Regents was to provide a chance not a guaranteed route to a degree
Chancellor Crawford also expressed two alternatives open to the Regents to deal with the problems addressed in the findings One to raise college admissions requirements to the point where virtually all students who are able to gain admission are guaranteed success on the Regents Test or two drop the requirement entirely
The first of these would rob illprepared students of a chance to prove that they can succeed if given an opportunity The second would be an abandonment of standards and would send many graduates into the world with the trappings of education but without the tools they need to compete successfully with other graduates
The Office of Civil Rights initiated the compliance proceedings by filing a complaint against the Board of Regents on March 12
University of Georgia Receives 837 Million Kellogg Grant
The University of Georgia will use the 837 million grant it has received from the W K Kellogg Foundation to create a National Center for Leadership Development in Adult and Continuing Education
The center will support research into adult learning train graduate students in the theory and practice of continuing education and promote adult and continuing education in Georgia and throughout the nation
In a press conference on March 14 Gov Joe Frank Harris and university President Fred C Davison announced the grant which is the largest the Kellogg Foundation has ever awarded outside Michigan where it is based in Battle Creek
According to Gov Harris an additional 54 million will be provided by the state of Georgia to enlarge the facilities of the universitys Center for Continuing Education adding 80000 square feet to house the new national center and other new programs The enlargement will include 200 additional seats in the main auditorium new conference and meeting rooms expanded food and auxiliary services a computercommunications equipment center and a Learning Support Center in which adults can use programmed instruction and media aids to teach themselves
A portion of the Kellogg grant will be used by the College of Education to develop a PhD degree in adult education and a certificate program for adult education practitioners
Part of the grant will fund a joint effort between the Cooperative Extension Service at the University of Georgia and Fort Valley State College to train more than 500 adult educators in 75 counties These trained personnel will then help adult learners make decisions about their education and careers complete a plan of study and gain access to appropriate educational resources

Thk System Summary
Committee Appointed to Study Incentives for Private Donors
University System Chancellor Vernon Crawford has appointed a committee to study ways to increase private donors contributions to System institutions by providing incentives He did so after the Board of Regents approved a recommendation to that effect at the March meeting
The members of the committee are listed below Warren Heeman has been appointed to serve as the committees chairman
Mr James C Austin Director Division of Institutional Relations Medical College of Georgia
Mr Ralph A Beck
Assistant Vice President for Development Georgia State University
Mrs Rosemary W Dodd Director of Advancement Gainesville Junior College
Mr P Warren Heeman Vice President Institute Relations and Development Georgia Institute of Technology
Mr H Perk Robins Vice President Development and University Relations University of Georgia
Mrs Ellen E White Director Institutional Advancement Albany State College
The Regents also approved a recommendation that the committee be instructed to seek with the chancellors help the support of
Gov Joe Frank Harris and the legislative leaders for an incentive plan to be funded in the 1986 fiscal year
During the 1984 session of the Georgia General Assembly the House of Representatives passed House Resolution 751 and the State Senate passed Senate Resolution 388 both of which create eightmember committees to conduct a thorough study of incentive programs for the funding of faculty chairs within the University System in order to enable System institutions to compete more successfully for the best scholars and teachers throughout the nation The committees of both the House and the Senate have been authorized to cooperate and meet jointly and to issue a joint report to the General Assembly
According to Dr Crawford Some donors would react favorably to an incentive plan which would allow them to receive a state tax writeoff for a portion of their contribution He added that the state of Indiana has such a plan in effect
Other donors might favor a plan by which the state would match some percentage of a gift of a certain magnitude For example Dr Crawford said the state of Florida will provide 40 percent of the funding to endow a professional chair for which private sources will provide 60 percent
Dr Crawford also suggested that the committee may wish to recommend a modification of the Boards policy which precludes naming buildings for living individuals

Chairman of the Boards Statement
At the first meeting of the Search and Screen Committee on March 20 Dr Skandalakis told commitee members
Let me express to you my appreciation and gratitude on behalf ot the Board ot Regents You have assumed a great responsibility a sacred responsibility to recommend to the Board the names of not less than four nor more than eight persons whom you deem qualified to serve as chancellor In all probability the Board will select one of your recommendations to serve as the chief executive officer ot the Board of Regents Your appointment was born after a hard delivery I selected each of you very carefully and I am sure that you will represent academia very well
The chancellor serves at the pleasure of the Board His duties responsibilities and authority spring from the policies of the Board
The chancellor must have an earned higher degree PhD MD etc He should be a wellknown educator from the academic community He must know about teaching He must know about research He must be legal moral and ethical The chancellor should be a hearer and a doer He must have the charisma to communicate well not only with the Board but also with his staff the legislature and the governors staff etc We do not want a bureaucrat but we want an able administrator He must be a forceful diplomat He must also be a pragmatic dreamer
The Chancellor is called upon to execute the policies of the Board He must cooperate with each Regent and the chairman of the Board and must be free and feel free to form new ideas for the betterment of higher education His ideas after workup in toto by his staff must be communicated to the Board prior to each meeting so that each Regent must have time enough to digest and understand the situation and act according to his or her philosphy
He must understand economics so as to be able to discuss his budget not only with the Regents but also with the governor and the legislature Former Regent and former Chairman of the Board Ernie Friedman stated In my opinion the position of chancellor is one of the two or three most influential public positions in this state and the opportunities it presents to impact significantly on higher education will undoubtedly be attractive to educational leaders throughout the United States And I do agree
The process for the selection of the chancellor adopted by the Board in June 1979 provides a charge to the Search and Screen Committee
We do have in Georgia all the potentialities and possibilities to select the best educator as chancellor of our great System The Board as a constitutional body is secure and stable Our beautiful Atlanta and gorgeous state is another attraction Beautiful seashores mountains and rivers and lakes excellent climate sports arts etc all these things will help you go for the best Maybe I am asking too much of you hut you have to do your best to find the best qualified man or woman to serve as Chancellor We need four to eight names and you will have six months to present these names to us Then the Board may choose one of that number I had the honor to serve on the committee for the selection of Dr Crawtord Believe me it is hard work very hard work Confidentiality is paramount Dr Fuller of Georgia Tech is the administrator of your committee Mr Henry Neal executive secretary of the Board will assist him when needed
And now let me express to you why 1 chose Dr Mansbergcr to be the chairman of this very important committee Dr Mansbergcr is a respected surgeon all over the country His department is one ot the best in the country I have known him for years He is an author an excellent teacher and a great scientist with sound experimental investigative work He knows education in every state and in higher places He is an excellent administrator I am sure Dr Mansbergcr will take the committee to the promised land and all together you will recommend to us the four to eight most capable candidates I know you will do the best that you cun for our children and grandchildren for our state and for our country As a nation we are at risk Give us your all I am grateful to all of you tor your willingness to help and I am especially grateful for the two distinguished citizens on the committee outside of academia
Committee Chairmans Statement
Dr Mansbergcr gave the following remarks at the March 20 meeting of the Search and Screen Committee
It is indeed and in fact an honor to be asked by the Board of Regents to chair the Search and Screen Committee which will seek a new chancellor for the University System of Georgia At every level search committees in academia arc faced with difficult and complex processes This particular assignment however approaches the zenith of complexity to discover the best possible prospects for the Chief Executive position of this large and unique academic system one that is public with critical and complex working interrelations with our state government with the Board of Regents and with the administration and faculties of the individual institutions of the University System
I will have an excellent committee We understand our responsibilities and 1 assure you that we will do our work thoroughly and

A PUBLICATION OF THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM OF GEORGIAVOL 20 NO4APRIL 1984
Regents OCR Discuss Desegregation Regents Test
Two ISSUES affecting the University System of Georgia are
currently pending with the Department of Educations Office for Civil Rights OCR These issues involve the use of the Regents Test as a graduation requirement and the Univer
sity Systems degree of success in implementing the 1978 Desegregation Plan and the 1983 Amendments thereto
According to the OCR the University System of Georgia has not made substantial progress in meeting college desegregation goals The OCR has also alleged that problems exist with the Systems attempts to upgrade the three traditionally black institutions and with the degree of success in minority recruitment goals for both faculty and students throughout the System
The University System was given 45 days to respond to the areas of concern identified by the OCR According to Chancellor Vernon Crawford My staff and 1 will be work ing diligently with OCR over the next several weeks in an effort to resolve differences between us on the goals of the Desegregation Plan and on the extent of the LIniversity Systems progress in meeting those goals
OCR officials said in an April 2 letter to Gov Joe Frank Harris that the Regents Test discriminates against students at Albany State College Fort Valley State College and Savannah State College We believe that the April 2 letter from OCR contains some errors and misunderstandings which we hope to have corrected and resolved continued Dr Crawford On the other hand we may be able to respond positively to some of the suggestions contained in the letter A formal response from the University System is expected by May 18
OCR and University System officials will be negotiating on the Regents Test during the latter part of April In a letter to Harry Singleton assistant secretary for civil rights in the US Department of Education dated April 11 Chancellor Crawford stated We are most desirous of obtaining your views and suggestions as to what we have done in our educational and remediation programs which you believe we ought not to have done and what you believe we have left undone
In his letter Dr Crawford also wrote We will carelully consider your OCRs views and suggestions and will act J
positively on those that are realistic and educationally sound since we want to do everything we can to maximize the percentage of those highrisk students who succeed academically We want to do this not because of any debatable notion as to what The Law may require but because of what we perceive to be a moral imperative
External Degree Programs Approved for Gwinnett County
A PROPOSAL ESTABLISHING EXTERNAL DEGREE programs in Gwinnett County beginning in the 1984 fall quarter was approved by the Board of Regents at the April meeting
The proposal received by the Board outlines plans for a Resident Higher Education Center in Gwinnett County and specifies that the center will have a multifocused location with courses for credit conceivably being offered at any community school facility in the county the new Gwinnett County vocationaltechnical school andor other locations
The center will be designed to provide higher education credit opportunities at the associate baccalaureate and graduate levels in selected fields of study and through a wide range of continuing education credit offerings in areas of assessed need according to the proposal
Those institutions which are expected to participate in the program are Gainesville Junior College the University ot Georgia Georgia State University and Southern Technical Institute
All requirements for admission to any course will be the same as those required when the course is taught at the sponsoring institutions campus Courses will be taught by faculty members from the participating institutions and library resources will be made available by the institutions
Although several institutions offer courses at offcampus centers in Gwinnett County this new arrangement will make it possible for students to receive degrees without being required to take a portion of their classes at the institutions campus

The System Summary
Regents Approve Designs of
The Board of regents at its April meeting approved several construction arrangements including the designs of seven new projects but tabled further consideration of plans to construct dormitories at Gainesville Junior College and Armstrong State College
The two dormitory plans were tabled pending a study by the chancellor and his staff regarding the Boards policy on financing dormitory facilities A report of the staffs findings and recommendations is scheduled to be submitted to the Board at its August 1984 meeting
The Board authorized the design project budget and architectural contracts for the following new projects
BioScience BuildingPhase 1 at the University of Georgia Architect to be selected later 7500000 project budget 6000000 construction cost Remodel West Hall at Valdosta State CollegeEllis Ricket Associates architect 5000000 project budget 4000000 construction cost
Performing Arts Building at West Georgia CollegeAeck Associates Inc architect 2750000 project budget 2250000 construction cost Library Addition at Southern Technical InstituteSizemore Floyd Architects architect 1875000 project budget 1500000 construction cost Mass Communications Building at Fort Valley State CollegeFleming Corporation architect 1000000 project budget 800000 construction cost Library Addition at Middle Georgia CollegeDunwody Beeland and Henderson Architects Inc architect 2000000 project budget 1600000 construction cost
Library Addition at South Georgia CollegeIPG Inc architect 2000000 project budget 1600000 construction cost
Albany State College
The Board authorized increasing the project budget for the Criminal Justice Building to be constructed at Albany State College from 2461140 to 2995641
The Board also authorized the issuance of an amendment to the architectural contact with Allain and Associates Inc increasing the construction cost from 2003425 to 2501394
The former project budget was established in June 1980 but the project did not receive funding until this year when it was included in the Series 1984A Bond Issue The escalation in cost is the result of inflation during the threeyear lapse since costs were first determined
This revision brings the project uptodate before advertising for bids and is in accordance with the most recent budget estimate from the architect
7 New Construction Projects
A threestory reinforced concrete frame building located in the central portion of the Albany State College campus the Criminal Justice Building will house classrooms lecture halls faculty offices and forensic laboratories
Augusta College
The Board authorized the purchase of approximately 2653 acres of land in Richmond County known as the Forest Hills Property Old Veterans Administration from the General Services Administration USA for the purchase price of 450000 provided that that sum is furnished to the Board by the Augusta College Foundation Inc
The Board also approved the recommendation that upon receipt of the deed for this property the Board declare the property no longer advantageously useful to the System but only for the purpose of transferring the property to the Augusta College Foundation Inc
Fort Valley State College
The Board authorized an increase in the project budget for the construction of a Farm and Community Life Building at Fort Valley State College from 3041241 to 3895203
The issuance of an amendment to the architectural contract with Balian and Associates Inc increasing the construction cost from 2525533 to 3463872 was also authorized
These budget increases are necessary because inflated construction costs have outdated the original budget which was established in December 1979
The twostory building will contain assembly rooms meeting rooms conference rooms and offices
Georgia Institute of Technology
The Board authorized the execution of a memorandum of understanding between the William Reed Company and the Regents covering the proposed development of a hotel and professional development center on a tract of land adjacent to the Georgia Institute of Technology campus
The land which is bordered by North Avenue Tech Parkway and State Street is currently owned by Graybar Electric and the William Reed Company will attempt to purchase it in order to develop the professional development center and hotel project
The memorandum which outlines the ownership use financial and operational arrangements for the development provides that a feasibility study of the proposed project will be made at the expense of the William Reed Company and will be submitted to the Board for further review

Continued from Previous Page
If after a thorough review of the feasibility study all parties to the memorandum agree that further development is both feasible and desirable a twoyear development process will begin
In November 1983 the Board approved in principle the concept of the development and requested that the original memorandum presented to them at that meeting be reviewed by the state attorney generals office and resubmitted for approval Therefore the memorandum approved in April had been revised and reviewed by the attorney generals office
The proposed professional development center will be operated by the William Reed Company primarily to serve Georgia Techs needs However when the facilities are not in use by the university they will be marketed to generate as much compatible activity as possible
According to the approved memorandum the company intends to charge the Board of Regents annual rent for only the prorata share of the debt service and annual capital improvements for leased space that Georgia Tech will use Further the ownership does not anticipate or intend to profit from Georgia Institute of Technologys use of the professional development center except as it relates to use by conferees of hotel food and beverage facilities
The memorandum includes provisions for Georgia Tech officials to approve the name chosen for the hotel and to be consulted by architects about the exterior treatment of the building complex and some interior features
The memorandum also specifies that the Regents will not be responsible or liable in any way for the financial success or failure of the hotel and professional development center However it reads since the facility is being developed by the William Reed Company on a speculative basis with all costs being borne by William Reed Company and since the financial success of the facility is heavily dependent upon use of the facility by Georgia Institute of Technology Georgia Institute of Technology agrees to work diligently to make use of the hotel and professional development center in a manner consistent with its requirements
The Board authorized the purchase of property at 928 Bussey Street NW Atlanta for the use of Georgia Tech using funds on hand at the institution in the form of interest income The purchase price for the property owned by Edna A Ford is 40500
The purchase of property along Hampton Street in Atlanta was approved to complete the acquisition of land for the parking lot for Georgia Techs new dormitory The Board authorized the allocation of 150000 from the 1984 fiscal year Major RepairRehabilitation Fund to finance the purchase
Medical College of Georgia
The property known as 317 and 319321 Eighth Street in
Augusta was declared no longer advantageously useful to the System but only for the purpose of allowing the sale of the property through public bidding for the benefit of the Medical College of Georgia
The property which has an appraised value ot 45000 is part of a gift to the Medical College by the estate of W J Young and income from the current rental arrangement on the property is used in the Medical Colleges library program Officials at the college believe that investing the proceeds from the sale of the property will be more economically advantageous than continuing the rental arrangement
The Board authorized the design of the installation ol a third chiller in the Central Energy Plant at the Medical College with a project budget of 1900000
The Board also authorized the appointment of James C Smith and Associates PC as consulting engineers to design the project which has a construction budget of 1750000
This project consists of the installation of a 4000ton chiller which would be capable of supplying chilled water for the Talmadge Memorial Hospital Complex and permit the discontinuance of the use of the hospitals present chilled water generating equipment which is obsolete and inefficient It is anticipated that the new equipment will save approximately 300000 per year
Southern Technical Institute
The Board authorized the use of 260000 of the remaining unobligated funds in the Series 1983B Bond Issue to finance a change order for an amount not to exceed 260000 in connection with the construction of the Academic Building at Southern Technical Institute
The Academic Building was funded by the Series 1983B Bond Issue which was for the sum of 3500000 and was to be used primarily for the construction of the Academic Building Due to favorable bidding conditions the postbid official project budget was 2919429 leaving 580571 in the bond issue unobligated after the award of the construction contract
Southern Tech has requested the execution of a change order to the contract in order to use 260000 of those unobligated funds to convert three or four rooms in the building from their present designated use into labs to provide for basic science teaching facilities
University of Georgia
The design of the Georgia Center Addition at the University of Georgia with a project budget of 7260000 was authorized
Appointed to prepare plans and specifications for this project was the firm of Stevens Wilkinson Architects Engineers Planners Inc The Board also authorized entering into an architectural contract with the firm to design the

PERSPECTIVE
Editor s note Dr Betty L Seigel president of Kennesaw College and the first female president of a University System institution spoke before the Board of Regents at the Boards May meeting which was held at the college Excerpts from her presentation are printed below
I am happy today to talk to you about Kennesaw College It this were an established institution I might have talked to you about the latest developments and refinements of existing programs But because we are in a major transition from a junior college to a senior college and so caught up in the process of that evaluation and where we see ourselves going I wanted to focus today on the process which brought us to where we are After all it is the process that will have a major impact on our future and the shape of Kennesaw College as a seniorlevel institution 1 especially want you to catch the character and excitement of Kennesaw College
Theres a report out that talks about 3000 futures in higher education It points out that during the next decade aboutone third of all colleges will be in serious decline or will have merged with another college The study goes on to say that another third of colleges will remain basically the same as they have always been Then it describes the third kind of college Thats the college that continues to grow and prosper According to the study these colleges will likely be commuter colleges The study further describes this college as being in the Sunbelt close to a major metropolitan area and on an economic corridor going north and south You put all that together and what does it spell Kennesaw College That describes the kind of college we are today and will be in the future
As a futurist 1 was struck when I came to Kennesaw College for an interview three years ago with the remarkable potential here for becoming a model contemporary college for contemporary students This is a vibrant college a proud new school and 1 think we have all the makings of a joyous democratic institution of the future 1 wanted to be a part of that 1 wanted to help turn that potential into a reality
There are some promising aspects of Kennesaw College external forces if you will that I want to talk about for a moment What we are finding today is that our location is a powerful inducement to come to Kennesaw College The counties north of Atlanta are booming in population growth and economic development Cobb County alone is among
the top 20 counties nationwide in new housing starts There are already 600000 people living in the primary service area of our college which includes Cobb North Fulton Cherokee Bartow Douglas and Paulding counties That population is projected to grow dramatically in 10 years as commercial and residential development continues its northward movement up 175
Business also is booming in Cobb County Lockheeds C5B contract and that companys success in international markets guarantee expansion If you are familiar with the platinum triangle at 175 and 1285 you know that our newest commercial additions include the Atlanta Galeria the worldclass Waverly Hotel and two of five planned luxury office towers Cobb will have by current projections more commercial office space by 1990 than is now available in the entire city of Atlanta Contributing to such developments is a dynamic 4400 member Chamber of Commerce
Closer to the campus one mile to the south on 175 land has been cleared for what will be the largest regional mall in the Atlanta area Recently proposed developments in the immediate vicinity include office parks a high tech park an expanded airport a hospital other shopping centers outlet malls hotels apartments condominiums and numerous singlefamily subdivisions
Kennesaw College reflects this rapid growth as well The colleges enrollment has increased nearly 30 percent in the last two years Our summer enrollment last year was up 20 percent over the summer before We were up to 5400 students last fall and next fall we anticipate that we will approach 6000
Couple that growth with a history of effectiveness and excellence at Kennesaw College and you have a winning combination Our academic reputation does precede us Over the last five years 98 percent of our teacher education graduates passed their state teacher certification tests the highest passing rate of all public and private teacher education programs in the state Our students in business do extremely well on the CPA exams and other exit tests On the Regents Test our students consistently score at the top In nursing any failure to pass the licensing exam is rare Success rates for gaining entrance to medical and law schools are also high To sum up the charter president and his faculty built well Today we are continuing to build on that excellence
When I became president three years ago the college was at a crossroad We could have aspired to become a typical traditional senior college However ours was not a typical resident campus populated with 18yearold students We

The System Summary
On Kennesaw College
had a heavy emphasis on the liberal arts but the vast majority of our graduates had pursued professional programs in business education and nursing
Community involvement and outreach was not emphasized Instead we tended to have an ivory tower view of the world and were often referred to as Harvard in the Pines Student retention was a critical problem We were known as a way station students stopping here for a year or two before transferring to other colleges or universities We discovered that if we could retain students on the average of the senior colleges in the System we would be the largest senior college in the state
We had two choices We could continue the posture that had served us well in a less demanding time or we could aspire to become a contemporary college in a contemporary setting for contemporary students We chose the latter course and have pursued a contemporary management philosophy to reach that objective In that philosophy we have emphasized teamwork We believe in productivity through people and have found a wealth of untapped potential in our faculty department heads and deans We believe in entrepreneurship and in autonomy We believe that we should build upon our comparative advantages What can we do better than anybody else in the state We cannot be Georgia State nor do we desire to be We cannot be Georgia Tech or the University 6f Georgia but we can be what we are uniquely equipped to be We are comfortable with management by walking around where communication goes upward and downward and around as well
The approach we have chosen is quite similar to that described so well in the book In Search of Excellence Companies all over the country are looking at what constitutes success We are finding that many of those same qualities that constitute success at Delta Airlines constitute success in the management of all organizations including colleges
We believe that teaching is the facilitation of learning and administration is the facilitation of teaching To be contemporary in our teaching mission required a contemporary administrative team risktakers active adventurous confident and visionary leaders In George Kellers marvelous book Academic Strategy he uses these terms Better resources and more free time are not nearly so important Innovation does not require free resources so much as it requires people to push innovation Energetic professionals especially ones well attuned to the latest developments in
their fields are the primary ingredients of organizational vitality
What then has been our strategy over the last three years Simply put our strategy was to clarify our mission to involve people in the ownership of the mission and to excite people to be stimulated intellectually and professionally
We had a fabulous first year clarifying a new vision of where we might go as a developing senior college Year one was a year of review and study The View of the Future project was the best strategic step we took in those early stages of the process to advance our school to the next level of its development We involved our entire faculty in this project and asked them for their recommendations in four basic areas What should be our mission How can we personalize the teachinglearning process to enhance student success What are the publics that we serve What can administrators do to be more supportive of teachers staff and students
Indeed it was a mighty charge The product generated and process employed was mighty as well The View of the Future report has had a major impact on setting new directions for the colleges development Those efforts were subsequently supplemented well by the Needs Assessment and the Productivity Management Review These three selfstudies gave us a powerful window on the world of the future
The next two years were periods of reorganization and implementation that focused on six major strategic goals I To establish a contemporary image and orientation 2 To strengthen the professional programs of the college 3 To increase student retention 4 To expand our service mission in the community 5 To promote faculty and staff develop

ment 6 To create an inviting and supportive campus environment for students faculty staff and the community
So what of the future for Kenncsaw College Certainly we expect to grow in programs in size and in service To do otherwise would not be in keeping with the corresponding growth of our service area or our mandate of service as a public senior college Furthermore we want to be a model senior college a premier contemporary college We want to be a college that offers the kind of programs that exemplifies excellence
To do the job that must be done we are going to need a lot more money We are also going to need many more buildings Everything in our school is growing old at the same time because it was built or bought at the same time Most of the current facilities were originally designed for a much smaller student body with a less sophisticated curriculum Most importantly we are going to need your encouragement and affirmation of our high aspirations to be a model school In turn we will pledge you that we will be an institution that makes a real and significant impact on the quality of life of students staff and the community
As someone who has been excited by what is happening here at Kenncsaw College I sincerely hope that this institution will never lose its dynamic qualities its spirit of adventure and its cando attitude In his marvelous new book Academic Strategy George Keller says these words which I think sum up Kennesaw College today The change to a greater future of orientation and sharper management in education requires a willed shift of the psyche a new courage to be to do

The System Summary
Regents Receive Report on
A REPORT ON THE FULLER E CALLAWAY PROFESSORS serving within the University System was received by the Board of Regents at its May meeting Twentytwo faculty members currently hold the title of Fuller E Callaway Professor and as a group they receive a total of 457193 from the Callaway Professorial Trust
The Trust for Fuller E Callaway Professorial Chairs was established in 1968 as a means of enriching the academic programs of Georgias colleges and universities by providing a source of funds for retaining and adding superior faculty members Since its origination the trust has provided in excess of 5 million to supplement professors salaries
Named for a Georgia industrialist who was active in community service and who helped originate charitable and educational associations the trust currently funds professional chairs in public and private schools in Georgia
Each Callaway professor must hold a graduate degree from a recognized college or university of accredited status He or she must be a full professor and have demonstrated superior teaching abilities and have achieved distinction as a teacher In accordance with the educational goals of the trust the professor must be relieved of administrative and other responsibilities in order to teach on a fulltime basis

The appointments of Dr Lindquist at Columbus College and Dr Keys at Georgia Southern College will be effective in the 1984 fall quarter Georgia State University has one vacancy which the institution is in the process of searching to fill
Ga Institutions Less Vulnerable To National Enrollment Declines
The expected decline in numbers of high school graduates in the United States will not have as great an impact on enrollment levels in University System institutions as in the nation overall according to a report presented to the Board of Regents at the May meeting
Vice Chancellor for Research and Planning Haskin R Pounds told the Board that Georgias smaller decline as compared to the rest of the nation is the result of immigration to the state
According to projections from the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education the number of graduates in the nation peaked in 1979 and will decline each year until 1993 except for the years 1987 and 1988 Those two years are the eighteenth years following baby boomlets in 1969 and 1970 The slight increase expected in the number of graduates in 1987 and 1988 will be especially beneficial to University System college enrollments by helping to offset the decreases expected when stiffer admission requirements become effective in 1988
The projected national decline from 1979 to 1993 represents a 232 decrease while the decrease in Georgia for the same period is expected to be 122
Dr Pounds added that while the number of high school graduates which is the best predictor of University System enrollment is declining the longterm effect of the declines can be offset by increased enrollment of nontraditional students a higher college participation rate by high school graduates and improved retention of college students

Regents7 Test Issue Is Settled Remediation Plan Announced
A SETTLEMENT ON THE REGENTS TEST ISSUE was announced May 31 by federal and state government officials
Harry Singleton assistant secretary for civil rights in the
US Department of Education and Gov Joe Frank Harris made the announcement at a press conference also attended by University System Chancellor Vernon Crawford several members of the Board of Regents the presidents of Georgias three traditionally black institutions TBls and other government and education officials who have been involved in negotiations for several weeks
The settlement is based largely on a plan for improving Regents Test remediation and related program at the TBls The plan includes the following measures
implementation of a requirement that students who have failed the test complete approximately 50 hours of remediation each quarter before retaking the test
regular scheduling of preparation and information sessions which will include instruction in testtaking techniques for students prior to their taking the test
maintenance of a studentteacher ratio of no more than 20 to 1 for each Regents Test remediation course
development ot fully stafted and equipped reading and writing laboratories with laboratory instruction required for students enrolled in Regents Test remediation courses
development of a monitoring system by Regents statl in cooperation with institutional personnel for enforcing requirements relating to the Regents Testing Program
increased coordination between developmental studies programs and freshman English programs especially relating to the requirements for exiting developmental studies
Continued on Next Page
Continued from Previous Page
implementation of procedures for evaluation of the effectiveness of Regents Test remediation programs to involve personnel at both the TBIs and the Regents staff level
establishment of minimum guidelines for composition components of the required freshman English courses at the TBIs and
implementation of a Writing Across the Curriculum program at each of the TBIs in order to provide sustained practice in writing skills developed by students in English courses
The settlement also includes an agreement for 500000 to be used in improving Regents Test remediation and other related programs at the TBIs which are Albany State Fort Valley State and Savannah State colleges Of this total amount 300000 will be provided on a continuing basis through a special allocation of 150000 from the Board of Regents and through the reallocation of institutional funds which will enable each TB1 to provide at least 50000 The Office of the Governor will contribute the remaining 200000 in a onetime expenditure
W H Bruning president of Computer Service Company Control Data Corporation was on hand at the press conference to announce Control Datas donation of 36 PLATO computers for use in Regents Test remediation and developmental studies at the TBIs Control Data will also provide support staff to assist in the training of personnel and in the development of additional instructional software as needed The companys contribution is valued in excess of 150000
In announcing the settlement Mr Singleton said he is especially pleased that efforts have been focused on equalizing the opportunities to pass the test rather than on the elimination of the test This approach he continued fosters the dual commitment of this administration to excellence as well as equity in education
Chancellor Crawford and Board of Regents Chairman Sidney O Smith Jr echoed this sentiment Chairman Smith added that while the focus of the plan is on the stengthcning of the Regents Test programs at the TBIs many of the measures may also be implemented throughout the System because of their general educational value in relation to Regents Test practices procedures and related instruction
All those present expressed appreciation to Control Data Stated Chancellor Crawford The generous contribution of Control Data Corporation of stateoftheart equipment is a most welcome outcome exemplifying as it does the type of involvement of the private sector in public education which is essential if both are to prosper
The settlement announcement was the end result of negotiations initiated in April after Department of Education officials questioned the use of the Regents Test as a degree requirement Federal officials said Regents Test remediation was inadequate at the TBIs where students fail the test in higher proportions than students at other University System colleges

Astrophysics Science Education Degrees To Be Offered
The Board op Regents at the June meeting approved the establishment of several degree programs many of them in the area of science education This area has become increasingly significant and the recently approved programs are designed to meet existing and future needs for science and technology professionals
Georgia State University
Beginning in the fall of 1984 Georgia State University will offer a PhD degree in astrophysics through the physics and astronomy departments
The new program will offer graduate opportunities in areas of experimental and theoretical astrophysics with opportunities for students to develop and use highly technical analytical tools and instrumentation
The areas of research include high resolution speckle interferometry which is a technique for observing taint objects such as minor planets and extragalactic objects
Existing resources and continued receipt of substantial outside funding will enable the university to offer the program with no additional funding
University of Georgia
A PhD degree in science education to be offered in the Department of Science Education at the University of Georgia received approval
The objective of the program is to prepare professionals who will have superior research and teaching skills and will be able to plan carry out and supervise research as well as teach graduate and undergraduate courses in science education
The University of Georgia currently offers an EdD degree in science education which prepares students as practitioners and includes science course work internships materials development evaluation and research synthesis The PhD program will prepare researchers and will include course work in science internships independent work in research design data analysis and instructional theory The PhD then is not an entirely new program but rather an alternative emphasis for students pursuing research expertise in science education

The System Summary
Complete Text of Skandalakis Resignation Announcement
On May 22 1984 John E Skandalakis announced his resignation as chairman of the Board of Regents The following is the text of Dr Skandalakis statement to the press
First let me say how sorry I am that my personal and confidential letter to the governor reached the press This was not my purpose It is not the case that 1 was seeking a second term for selfsatisfaction When the Board agreed in Chattanooga that I should serve for two years the philosophy behind that was for me to finish the job of the search committee for the new chancellor The other thought was that the chairman and vice chairman should stay at least two years to be able to do a better job Therefore you can understand my surprise when 1 learned that the governor was seeking the election of another regent as chairman
I have a profound respect for the Office of the Governor but such a move by the chief executive officer of our state not only surprised me but I considered his action to be an undue interference with the constitutional rights of the Board of Regents an autonomous constitutional body
As you all know the constitutionality of the Board was born after a hard delivery My oath to uphold the constitution of my state did not permit me this type of intrusion
My discussion with the governor was frank and to the point 1 requested the governor to permit a free election by the Board and when he refused my request 1 told him that with deep respect I considered his action to be a violation of the constitution
We have many problems in higher education The situation in higher education is more than grave and when I was elected unanimously chairman of the Board I thought that I would have an opportunity to help solve some of these problems Unfortunately for It months I spent much of my time and energy trying to protect the right of the Board to make its own decisions In my humble opinion the interference of the governor and his staff with the constitutional rights of the Board has impaired the functions of this noble organization
Therefore I have decided to resign as the chairman of the Board in protest of what 1 consider to be continuous violations of the Regents responsibilities
Today 1 sent the following letter to the vice chairman of the Board my mentor and friend Judge Sidney Smith
My dear Sidney Having in mind only education and the harmony and unity of the Board I hereby resign my position as chairman of the Board of Regents today
I hope and pray my dear friend that you will bring peace and harmony to the Board For the remaining three and onehalf years of my tenure as Regent 1 plan to help you or any other elected chairman to take the ship of education to the port of heaven I wish you success from the bottom of my heart Cordially yours
1 had a lot of dreams about my new job 1 was thinking about new programs new ideas new avenues and new horizons My state honored me with the highest educational job and 1 wanted my performance to be first class With a grateful heart I wanted to perform 1 hope that my resignation as chairman may serve to diminish the tensions which now exist in the Board The independence of the Board is paramount to me and must be preserved

HIGHLIGHTS
Some of the highlights of the request for the state appropriation for 198586 as identified by Chancellor Vernon Crawford are
The amount of 6792000 has been requested for quality improvement in programs and services at University System institutions Last year 6000000 was appropriated for use in this way Last year I had hoped that we would use 5 million for equipment and roughly 12 million for facultystaff development said Dr Crawford The pressure was on so much for equipment that we dropped the facultystaff development and put all the money into equipment We are grateful this year to have this money for equipment and we are grateful that the governor intends to include this as a continuing item in the budget
The System is still in need of computers the ancillary hardware and the associated software I believe that once again the quality improvement money will all be spent on equipment since the first 6 million made such a small dent in our total need said Dr Crawford I am sensitive to the need for faculty development and 1 hope that before too long we can get out of our dire need for equipment and get back to thinking about doing some other things with the quality improvement money

2During academic year 198485 the parties will use their best efforts to negotiate a contract to be entered into prior to July 1985 under which commencing on July 1
1985and extending through June 30 1986 they will share on a 5050 basis the use of the north and south campuses of DeKalb Community College and bear the same proportionate share ie 5050 of the maintenance and operation costs of such campuses

Records show that in its early years the college was divided into preparatory and collegiate departments A stated purpose of the curriculum as described in the catalog of 1887 was to prepare pupils for business or for the Junior Class in Universities
On the original site in Cochran the institution evolved through several stages into the present University System of Georgia college It first became a state institution in 1917 when it became the Twelfth Congressional District Agricultural and Mechanical School a branch of the Georgia State College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts of the University of Georgia
In 1927 the name was changed to Middle Georgia Agricultural and Mechanical Junior College and was still a branch of the University of Georgia The name was shortened to Middle Georgia College in 1929 and its operation was placed under a nineman Board of Trustees
On August 27 1931 Middle Georgia College became one of the original units of the University System of Georgia

The System Summary
Regents Test Program Subject of Presentation to Board
The RegentsTest was ahead of its time when it became a requirement for graduation from University System institutions in 1973 according to director of the Regents Testing Program Kathleen Burk
Dr Burk in a presentation on the Regents Testing Program given at the August meeting of the Board of Regents said This kind of testing is currently a nationwide trend However back in 1973 it was a rather unusual move
According to Dr Burk the program itself was instituted in 1972 to ensure that students receiving degrees from University System institutions possess literacy competence which is defined as certain minimum skills of reading and writing
The intent of the test is not to deny students diplomas but to ensure that they have these minimum skills by the time they receive their diplomas explained Dr Burk
The Regents Test recently became the subject of controversy when US Department of Education officials questioned the use of the Regents Test as a degree requirement Federal officials said RegentsTest remediation was inadequate at the Systems three traditionally black institutions TBIs where students fail the test in higher proportions than students at other University System institutions
That issue was settled in May when it was agreed that remediation programs at the three TBIs would be improved and would be more closely monitored
The Regents Test is divided into two sections the reading test and the essay test
The reading test consists of 10 short reading selections with 60 multiplechoice questions about the reading material The selections are taken from various sources including such publications as Newsweek and National Geographic local newspapers and other materials that have been judged to be readable and comprehendible by college students Students must correctly answer 70 percent of these questions which are designed to assess four major aspects of reading vocabulary literal comprehension information comprehension and analysis
The reading material for the test is chosen and approved by program staff members and various committees made up of faculty members throughout the System The multiplechoice questions are graded by machine
The essay test has received much more attention than the reading test because many more students have failed it over the years said Dr Burk
Students are given one hour to write an essay about one of the two topics provided The topics Dr Burk explained are very carefully chosen
We are not looking for subject knowledge we are looking for writing ability We have topics that all students could think of something to write about she continued
Potential topics are reviewed and revised by a testing subcommittee which considers a number of criteria including the avoidance of cultural and ethnic bias The main source of potential bias appears to be ruralurban according to Dr Burk
The essays are graded holistically rather than analytically and are scored by three different raters who come from institutions throughout the system and who do not know the identity of or the institution attended by the students whose essays are being graded
According to Dr Burk various procedures are used to monitor the scoring of the essays and her office produces statistics on rater reliability The most convincing evidence we have that the scoring doesnt have any major problems comes from the results of the appeals process she said Of a total of 10000 essays receiving failing grades last year 179 were submitted for further review in the appeals process and only 78 of those were eventually passed So the decision was reversed on 78 essays out of a total of 10000 which failed
About 35 percent of the students taking the Regents Test for the first time fail one or both parts and that figure has changed very little in recent years However Dr Burk said most students do pass within a year after their initial failure if theyve taken remediation and followed procedures
Dr Burk presented test results since the programs inception in 1972 as follows

PERSPECTIVE
Editor s note Dr Vernon Crawford chancellor of the University System of Georgia spoke August 17 at a retreat for the presidents of System institutions The following are excerpts from his remarks to the presidents
The direction of the University System during the next decade will undoubtedly be strongly influenced by the individual chosen to be the next chancellor by his or her priorities ability to marshal political backing and fiscal resources ability to sell his or her ideas to you and to the Regents and ability to convince the citizens of Georgia that the University System is one of the states most precious resources deserving of their pride and wholehearted support
I would like to discuss with you some of the challenges and opportunities which loom the largest on the University System horizon at least from my perspective
First and always there is the budget It is true that not all of the Systems problems can be solved with money but lack of money exacerbates all of them I am reminded of something which my father said to me I was just out of college with a masters degree had a job waiting which would pay the princely sum of 1800 per calendar year and was discussing the possibility of getting married immediately He was attempting to counsel me gently to wait until I had worked for a while and had put some money aside before taking on the responsibility of head of a household I remember saying to him Dad you seem to think that money guarantees happiness I also remember his reply No money does not guarantee happiness but the lack of it guarantees misery We have had our misery quota in the University System in recent years with budget cuts explosion of utility costs and the like but we have enjoyed some significant gains also
On the political front the new chancellor will be faced with the usual problems of special interest versus the good of the entire University System That is a very difficult position as I know very well and as he or she will soon find out
There is another battle on the horizon or even closer the outcome of which will be of particular interest to the chancellor but will almost certainly affect all of you directly I refer to the battle over salaries in the central office about which you have undoubtedly read There are many in the General Assembly who believe that no state agency head should earn a higher salary than the Governor Some of us currently do and within the University System there are many presidents vice presidents and distinguished faculty members in that category Those who believe this is a situation which should not exist have recently been joined by Attorney
General Mike Bowers a man incidentally for whom I have profound respect
A point which we have tried to make is that our central office should not be grouped with other agencies of the state in the salary comparisons We argue that we should be compared with those with whom we compete for the services of individuals namely with other colleges universities and university systems similar to ours None of our central office salaries are the highest in the University System for corresponding positions and the salaries in the System are not out of line with those in other state systems Can you imagine what effect the suggested maximum of 60000 per year would have on the chancellor search if it were to be imposed before the selection is made or on the individual chosen if it were imposed after the fact I was successful in keeping restrictions which were imposed on central office salaries last year and the year before from being passed down to the colleges and universities However 1 believe that ceilings on central office salaries will eventually and probably sooner than later compress all System salaries to the detriment of our competitive position
The desegregation question is likely to be with us for a long time As you know we are now in a critical phase of negotiations I wish to take this opportunity to thank all of you for what you have done and are doing to make them successful Some of you have done outstanding jobs in attracting new minority faculty All of you have tried hard and your efforts if properly documented will not go unnoticed in Washington They certainly do not go unnoticed in Atlanta
However I believe that no matter how well our most recent report is received by the Office for Civil Rights and no matter what success record we compile in the coming year the time will not come in your tenure in office and certainly not in mine when we will be able to say that we have solved the desegregation problem We are an Adams state As such we will be subject to periodic scrutiny by those who have an interest in identifying shortcomings in our efforts and results That coupled with the circ*mstance that our student bodies are very far from being as well integrated for reasons over which we have little control as the courts are likely to require places us in a position of continuing jeopardy We must do our best to meet our educational and societal obligations and to live with the heat
A recurring theme over the next several years will probably be the change of status of existing institutions and the creation of new ones At present the state is well served insofar as access is concerned by the number and distribution of institutions of the University System

The System Summary
On the Future of the System
Since the outlook for the next seven or eight years is one of a decline in the number of 18 to 22yearolds 1 consider it unlikely that new University System institutions will be created in that period The possibility that existing institutions for example DeKalb Community College should be added is greater It is possible although in my opinion unlikely that the Board of Regents will be given control of the states postsecondary vocational education schools
As you know the Regents have received a number of requests for change of status of existing institutions These requests were put on hold principally because of the economic conditions When the entire System was forced to undergo budget cuts it did not seem reasonable to contemplate expensive upgrading of a few individual institutions One of the changeofstatus requests has been taken off the table for a careful scrutiny It is too early to determine what the outcome will be in that case or in others that might be considered
I am relatively certain that the need for a new engineering school is going to intensify rather than diminish in the years ahead Two regions of the state Middle Georgia and Southeast Georgia are both bidding for attention in this regard The cost of creating one sound engineering program will be very large probably on the order of 10 million capital outlay startup and 15 million annual operating costs I hope the General Assembly is willing to invest that kind of additional money because I believe the state would be well served by an additional undergraduate engineering school My fear is that if the University System cannot meet that need Mercer University will agree to do so at state expense of course Why the state might prove morewilling to invest in a private institution than in its own public system of higher education is difficult to explain and would be beyond reasonable expectation if the example of the Mercer Medical School were not so fresh in our memory
A number of questions must be addressed in the next several years One of them concerns the missions of the individual institutions within the System It seems probable to me that if enrollments drop as the demographics suggest that they will there will be an increasing differentiation of mission No longer will it be possible for most of our institutions to be all things to all people Rather or so it seems to me our senior colleges in particular may be forced to cut down on the number of majors offered thus avoiding unnecessary and wasteful duplication of programs with insufficient enrollments to make them cost effective
Another question to be faced is the role of developmental studies Will it continue to be necessary
for the University System to offer a range of developmental studies in order to remediate weaknesses in the basic skills which so many of our entering students bring with them I suspect that the answer to that question will be yes but Yes we will continue to need developmental studies if for no other reason than that we will be attracting more and more older students adults in mid career or beyond who wish to gain more education Many of this clientele have been so long out of school that they need a halfway house to ease their reentry to the mainstream of academic life But the measures we have taken to raise our admission standards coupled with the college preparatory curriculum now in effect in our public schools should reduce the dependence of our traditionally aged freshmen on developmental studies in college The recent news that our fourth eighth and tenth graders are now testing above the national average is a source of hope to us all and even though the national average leaves something to be desired indicates that our colleagues in the public schools deserve our praise for a signal accomplishment
Many other challenges opportunities and questions will need to be addressed by the next chancellor and by you who will remain to labor in the vineyard with him or her but I shall take the time to discuss only two more They are the questions to which every serious educator must continually return for they are at the heart and they are the soul of everything we do The questions to which I refer are these What constitutes a quality education for the last 16 years of the 20th century and how can we ensure that we are providing that kind of education for our students
Let me make my conviction clear that education is a process not a result The best educated and the most ignorant among us are to be differentiated only as having

reached different points along a road which has no end I believe we can lay a legitimate claim to being educable and that we can truthfully say we are in the process of becoming educated but when are we educated Not in this life So in what follows when 1 describe individuals as being well educated I mean that they have been touched by and have responded positively to an educational process of high quality That process more likely than not but not necessarily had a strong formal component The welleducated self educated are few in number but they do exist
Welleducated individuals can communicate effectively in standard English They can speak intelligibly read with understanding and write with clarity and grace 1 mention this symptom of quality education first because 1 consider it to be most important Not only is the mastery of language the clearest sign of an educated person it is also the most valuable attribute in achieving success in almost any field of endeavor Success in virtually any field of human endeavor is strongly correlated with the ability to use the language which in this country is standard English effectively
Welleducated persons can earn a living That statement may appear heretical to some an abandonment of the lofty ideal that the purpose of education is to enable the recipient to make a life not a living But be honest now how many people have you known who although unable to earn a livelihood were conspicuously successful in making a rich and satisfying life
1 make no apology for taking the position that one of our legitimate goals as educators is to give our students knowledge which they can use to provide goods or services which others will be willing to pay for This knowledge may be vocational in nature or professional or it may be general There are and 1 believe there will continue to be jobs for liberal arts graduates who can communicate who can analyze who can view things in a broader context than the local or the immediate who can predict the likely outcome of various courses of action who can in short think Let us not forget our responsibility to our students to improve their opportunities for gainful employment
Welleducated individuals understand the nature of mathematical proof hnd can reason well enough mathematically to solve those problems that admit of a mathematical solution with which they are confronted They are well enough acquainted with the scientific method to know how it is used to increase our understanding of nature and its laws They understand how the joint application of mathematics and scientific knowledge by the engineer the medical researcher the agricultural scientist etc makes life more enjoyable for all of mankind
Those who are well educated possess an appreciation of the beauty of art music and literature which enriches and ennobles their lives
Welleducated people have been introduced to a
significant portion of the great ideas contained in the worlds literature They understand the crucial role of
those ideas in shaping our civilization and recognize their own responsibility to transmit them to the next generation Dr Edwin DeLattre president of Saint Johns College advanced the idea that a welleducated person is one who would understand how to refound his or her own civilization That definition has a disturbingly relevant ring in this age of proliferation of nuclear capabilities
Welleducated persons have the intellectual resources set in a framework of ethical and moral principles on which to base sound value judgments Harvards president Derek Bok writes that a university which refuses to take ethical decisions seriously violates its basic obligations to society Professor Charles Muscatine of Berkeley calls todays educational programs a marvelous convenience fora mediocre societyand states that educations key goal should be informed decision making that recognizes that there is a moral component to life
In summary I have defined welleducated persons as those who can communicate who can earn a living who have at least a working knowledge of mathematics and an understanding of the scientific method and its application who appreciate beauty who understand the values on which our civilization is based who serve as civilizations guardians and the transmitters of its values and who have the ability to make sound value judgments
I suspect and hope that if you were to construct your own definition it would overlap mine to some considerable extent
What must we do to ensure that we are graduating welleducated persons from our institutions
First we must hire faculty members who share our concern for highquality education and who are willing to work hard to produce welleducated graduates We must be sure that an environment exists at our institutions in which good teaching and learning can occur We should be alert to guard the rights of our faculty and students to demand performance to reward it when it occurs and to terminate appointments when it does not
We should encourage innovative approaches to education and inculcate the idea that while a professor talking to listening students is one way to teach and maybe even a good way it is not the only way It may not always be the best way The difference between a rut and a grave is only the depth
We should examine our curricula periodically to determine that they contain the elements to produce welleducated graduates that they respond to the needs of the students and the higher expectations of society
A healthy enjoyable environment for students with appropriate extracurricular programs is a necessity particularly at the domiciliary institutions
Think about these things and treasure them in your hearts You will be better people for it and the University System of Georgia will profit

The System Summary
Institute Teaching Faculty How To Teach Computer Science
Ah the sounds of summer Crickets chirping birds singing frogs croaking at a nearby pond While most of us are enjoying these sounds 40 of our colleagues are enjoying the sounds of roll out time for class manyour terminals PASCAL COBOL
The people hearing these sounds are participants in the University System Computer Science Institute being held this summer on the campus of Kennesaw College
During this twoweek and five subsequent weekends program this select group of 40 will endure rigors that may make them feel they are at Parris Island rather than a computer camp
The institute gives an intensive six hours of classroom and three hours of laboratory work a day program covering Principles of Computer Programming I and II and Introduction to File Processing
The institute was developed in response to the severe shortage of faculty in the University System qualified to teach courses in computer science Those participating in the institute are noncomputer science faculty who will return to their respective campuses and be able to teach the first three quarters of computerscience courses and to free computerscience specialists to teach more advanced courses by the spring quarter 1985
According to Morris Roberts professor of computer information systems at Georgia State University and director of the institute this was one viable way to meet the computer needs without having to hire new faculty Hiring new faculty has been difficult and future prospects are not good We are giving them in two weeks two quarters of information and a graduate course philosophy The idea was one of many presented by the Academic Committee on Computer Science and Systems Analysis of the University System Advisory Council
The demographics of those attending this years institute are interesting They represent 20 colleges 12 hold a PhD and six have EdD degrees Although 25 teach in the area of math or science other fields represented include music physical education vocational education and testing
Participants were selected by their president and the choices were then reviewed by the central office said Ray Cleere vice chancellor for academic affairs If we are succesful this year we plan to offer advanced courses as well as another basic course next year
Why did these teachers decide to participate in the computer institute With my involvement in testing I had to learn about computers said Dr Curtis Spikes of Fort Valley State College This was an opportunity to get some structure I enjoy getting the information in an intensified manner such as this I hope to be teaching courses in computer science as soon as possible and I would like to get into the computer science field Fort Valley is already working at making the college
Morris Roberts instructs Dorothy Murchison of Savannah State College
community computer literate That means faculty staff and students I believe that you can learn anything you want he continued so I have decided this is what I want to know Learning the systems writing the programs and learning the techniques to take this information back to the classroom are just what I need
I felt like it was a good opportunity to learn some things that I didnt know about computers said Brenda Carter of Georgia Southern College I had the bare amount of computer courses while working toward my degrees but I wanted to increase my computer knowledge The timing of the institute between quarters was just right
Apprehension about being able to learn the material was echoed by many of the participants including Ann Townes of Albany Junior and Elsie Washington of Floyd Junior College I am apprehensive because I know it is going to be a lot of work said Ms Washington I like this program because you are learning something more structured with PASCAL Up until 1971 I had never even seen a computer I had access to one for a year and taught myself BASIC Floyd Junior College didnt have computers until two years ago I want to learn so I intend to stay with this until I do
Many of the participants had taught themselves how to

The System Summary
Budget Increases Approved for 3 Construction Projects
The Board of Regents approved a variety of building arrangements including budget increases for three construction projects at the July meeting
Georgia Institute of Technology
The awarding of a construction contract and an increase in the project budget for the Microelectronics Laboratory at the Georgia Institute of Technology was authorized by the Board
The project had been authorized at the Boards June 1984 meeting with a budget of 750000 However all construction bids received were higher than the established budget The necessary increase of 138000 brings the new project budget to 880000 and the construction budget to 670000
The construction contract was awarded to RD Constructors Inc of Smyrna
The construction budget for the renovation of the A French Building at Georgia Tech was increased from 1000000 to 1250000 The Board also authorized the awarding of a construction contract to the Smyrna firm of CarterDeGolian Inc for the project in the amount of 1069208
The Board originally authorized the project with a construction budget of 1000000 in October 1983 but the lowest bid received exceeded that amount The additional money for the project will be provided by the Clark Howell Trust Fund which provided the initial funding
Georgia State University
The Board authorized a supplemental lease agreement with the United States of America General Services Administration for the use of 2455 square feet of office space by the US Corps of Engineers The office space which is located in the Title Building at 30 Pryor Street
SW in Atlanta was declared no longer advantageously useful to Georgia State University or to other units of the University System
At the April 1983 meeting the Board had approved the leasing of 42865 square feet of space in the Title Building for use by the Corps of Engineers This additional space gives the corps a total of 45320 square feet of space on the second floor of the building for an annual rental amount of 51348295
The Board authorized the design of a towertransmitter facility for Georgia State Universitys student radio station WRASFM with a project budget of 457000
J he Board also appointed the Atlanta firm of Richard Rothman and Associates Ltd to prepare plans and specifications for the project An architectural contract with a construction cost not to exceed 415000 was also approved
Georgia State will use student activity funds to fund the project which has already been approved by the
FAA The FCC has issued a construction permit for the facility
University of Georgia
The Board authorized the execution of a nonexclusive easem*nt with The Clifford Corporation for the construction of a road drainage easem*nts and lagoon maintenance to serve the Roebling Estate property located on the northeastern end of Skidaway Island For this purpose the Board declared 594 acres of land at the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography no longer advantageously useful to the University System
In 1967 when the Roebling family donated the land on which the institute is now located they entered into an agreement that allows them a perpetual right of ingress and egress across the portion of Skidaway Island which they donated for the institute
The easem*nt approved by the Board in August allows the construction of a road that will provide access to the portion of the island retained by the Roeblings
A nonexclusive easem*nt approved by the Board will provide for the relocation of the Georgia Natural Gas Companys district regulator station This action was necessary because of the recent relocation of East Broad Street under an exchange of property between the Regents and the city of Athens
The 10 x 35 plot of land on which the regulator station will be relocated is near the Chicopee Mill Complex on the campus of the University of Georgia
The Regents voted to accept title to a 0595 acre strip of land which will be used for parking The land will be given to the Board by the city of Athens with the provision that the university will absorb all costs involved with the transfer of title
Georgia College
The Regents voted to accept fee simple title to the property known as Blackbridge Hall from the Georgia College Alumni Association Inc The property at 111 S Clark Street in Milledgeville is directly across the street from the former governors mansion
Carol Black of Atlanta an alumna of Georgia College donated the purchase price of 79000 to the Alumni Association which now wishes to donate the property to the Regents for the use of Georgia College
Southern Technical Institute
An increase in the project budget for the library addition to be constructed at the Southern Technical Institute was approved by the Board The new project budget is 3500000 increased from 1875000
The Board also authorized the issuance of an amendment to the architectural contract with SizemoreFloyd Architects of Atlanta increasing the stated cost

use a computer but needed the formal training in order to teach others That includes George Donaldson of Emanuel County Junior College who also learned on his own We already use computers in our chemistry labs which is my area of teaching Its important that the kids who take my classes are familiar with computers Many times along with teaching chemistry 1 also have to teach them how to use a computer I needed the formal training so this institute provides me an opportunity to get it without having to take a class during the school year
Kennesaw College was chosen to host the institute on the basis of its excellent facilities and willingness to accommodate the group during the length of the institute Southern Technical Institute is providing the dormitory space for the participants during the initial twoweek period Fees for the participants were provided by their institutions and covered materials and instructors According to Dr Roberts this years program has been so well received that we already have a waiting list for next summer
Along with Dr Roberts members of the institute staff are Roger Lamprey associate professor of computer information systems at Georgia State University Merl King assistant professor of business administration and director of the Small Business Institute at Floyd Junior College Steve Scherer acting chairman of the math and computer systems department at Kennesaw College and Marcia Perry associate director of the Regents Testing Program who also serves as institute coordinator
Those participating in the computer institute include
Bernard Avant Atlanta Junior College Earl Bennett Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Edward Bolton Emanuel County Junior College Philip Buckhiester North Georgia College Jacquelyn Byers Savannah State College Brenda Carter Georgia Southern College George Donaldson Emanuel County Junior College Donald Duncan Valdosta State College Wanda Eanes Macon Junior College Cheryl Ford Georgia Southwestern College Roy Forrester Gainesville Junior College Donald Fuller Jr Gainesville Junior College Susan Groover Georgia Southern College Danny Hampton Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College John Hansen Armstrong State College Jerry Hardee Fort Valley State College John Hargaden Georgia College Richard Hays Floyd Junior College William Lamb Georgia College Chrystle Maxwell Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College Virgil McIntyre North Georgia College Richard Moore Valdosta State College Dorothy Murchison Savannah State College Jean Pollard Augusta College Michael Poole Macon Junior College John Preston Georgia State University Brooks Pridmore Clayton Junior College Samuel Rosenbleeth Middle Georgia College Jack Sharp Floyd Junior College Linda Smith Albany Junior College Linda Bradley Smith South Georgia College Floyd Souter Georgia College Curtis Spikes Fort Valley State

Appropriation Continuedfrom Front Cover
In the category of Major Repairs Rehabilitation the request has been made for 12815000 According to the chancellor We are asking for a step increase this year Last year we got onequarter of one percent of the total 2359092000 budget This year I intend to ask for onehalf of one percent and that will add 6917270 to the major repairrehabilitation budget We dont have a priority list since this amount is used not as a proactive fund but rather as a reactive fund to shore up disasters
The appropriate request will ask that the governor phase in the remaining onehalf percent in the 1987 fiscal year If this is done said Dr Crawford the governor will be able to say that he funded the formula in full during his first term of office
The 1985 fiscal year budget included the amount of i 5482906 for indirect cost recoveries The Regents will be asking for an increase of 2750000 to fund this item at 66 percent The original intent of the indirect cost recoveries was to allow institutions generating income from research grants and contracts to retain 85 percent of the indirect cost recoveries overhead income earned on those projects The chancellor stated last year this will j have a positive incentive to offer our institutions to be active in research
The amount of 1817500 has been requested for desegregation programs We have received permission for additional flexibility in the use of this money at the three traditionally black institutions stated Dr Crawford
The budget request will also include 96726472 for capital outlay Last year we asked for 102 million in capital outlay Ninetysix million was for building projects 3 million for the desegregation commitments and 3 million for the renovation of Eugene Talmadge Memorial Hospital said Dr Crawford The 3 million for campus enhancement will again be requested and is included in the total figure
We would be happy to get 40 million to cover the x first 13 projects on our priority list continued Dr Crawford This includes four projects that have been committed as part of the desegregation plan
Additional funds for asbestos abatement at System institutions will also be included in the budget request
The chancellor also requested the amount of approximately 10 million to be used for employee insurance costs including social security teachers k retirement group health group life and workers compensation increasesI

On April 2 1984 Gov Harris was advised that the Regional Office for Civil Rights and the US Department of Education had determined that Georgia had not made substantial progress toward achieving the goals of the Plan and that formal Title VI enforcement proceedings cutting off federal funding would begin no later than September 15 1984 if substantial progress had not been made by that time
I he decision that the state has made progress is based on in Mr Singletons words vigorous implementation of activities since April 1984
The following highlights of the activities undertaken by Georgia to achieve the plans goals were listed by Mr Singleton

Language Research Opens Dooifommunication
By Michael Richter Information Specialist at GSU
Teppie is now 22 YEARS OLD She was born with severe brain damage and has spent most of her life in an institution confined to a wheelchair unable to speak or clearly communicate many of her needs
Over the past two years a lot about her life has changed In a research project being conducted at Georgia State Universitys Language Research Center she is learning to communicate with a computerbased language that uses geometric symbols called lexigrams
The project coordinated with the Developmental Regional Center of the Georgia Regional Hospital in Atlanta and headed by GSU research associate and speechlanguage pathologist Dr Mary Ann Romski currently involves Teppie and two other young women Debbie 21 and Sandra 22 who are also severely retarded So far Teppie and Sandra have mastered the use of 20 wordlexigrams and Debbie 35 wordlexigrams
Teppie whose motorspeech mechanism has been impaired can utter but a few words understandable only to her instructors She comprehends little vocal speech Debbie has cerebral palsy and her speech is unintelligible Sandra does not comprehend or produce any spoken language Previous attempts to teach them to communicate orally with other symbolbased systems and with sign language have failed
Now they can speak with lexigrams
During a recent session Teppie performed basic tasks through the computer keyboard requesting food and other objects from a tray With obvious delight she asked for one of her favorite objects money The wordlexigram lit up as she pressed the appropriate key A synthesized voice a relatively new addition to the system simultaneously pronounced the name of the object Her instructor then acknowledged the request by pressing yes and money Teppie was then given coins from the tray
Teppie earns money Romski said She can then take it to the store and buy items with it We hope that it will become a functional tool in her environment
Language is what makes us uniquely human It affects learning social skills and independence Hopefully we can
Teppie performs request tasks at the keyboard with teacher Rose Sevcik

No other country has a comparable system of institutions created and supported by the people for the benefit of all citizens The American plan for support of its public universities was formalized in the 1860s when Congress passed the Morrill Act granting federal land to each state to support public institutions This concept of landgrant institutions was born in Georgia in 1784 when our state legislature designated 40000 acres of land to endow a university
One year later meeting in Savannah on January 271785 the General Assembly approved the charter of the University of Georgia a bold act by visionaries who knew that formal education was the key to unlock the new states future
And so Georgia created the first state university and the lirst landgrant institution educational inventions that spread
The University of Georgias bicentennial exhibition The Rising Hope of Our Land The University of Georgia 17851985 includes photographs and objects depicting the universitys history
across the land and became the foundation on which the greatest nation in the history of the world was built

Tn6SNreUSt a feW cIuestions yu may ask the patient on Dr Max Millers computerassisted instruction program tor a patient management simulation
Miller professor in the Department of Family Medicine and associate professor in Educational Research and Develpint lsone of a growing number of faculty members at the Medical College of Georgia who are pioneering the use of the computer as a professor who can drill prompt and
ead the student into making the most correct diagnosis of the patient
The benefit of interacting with a patient via a computer has to be experienced to be believed The scenario opens with a description of the patient of whom the student will be asked to make a diagnosis
Mr P D is a 58yearold white male who over the last six months has been slowing down He complains that he seems to be weak all the time and that he has noted a loss of strength in and has considerable difficulty in using his left arm He also complains that his joints hurt in the mornings this alert active and cooperative person is well developed for his age and appears to be in generally good health
After obtaining his general history he drinks about four cups of coffee a day is fairly happy is married with three grown children and has a deteriorating sex life the student performs a general examination This examination provides information on such things as general appearance mental status posture and gait
Laboratory tests ordered are shown with prices included so that these future physicians are made aware of the monetary costs to the patient3
Aftei studying all available data on the patient the student enters the six possible causes for the patients symptoms Based on what students know they choose the one diagnosis which seems to be correct Correct diagnosis presumed Parkinsons disease
Why use computers for teaching purposes Why use computerassisted instruction
Because the computer adds an element of mystery to the earning situation says Miller And he says the computer can be designed to include clinical management simulations hich can solve many common training problems in medical education

Designing a good program from start to finish takes a lot of preplanning says Miller The instructor has to develop ideas and learning goals for the student With the help of a welldeveloped authoring system a pattern on which to build the esson and skillful assistance a program can be developed in a relatively short amount of time
To conceive of the idea of the lesson and to see it all come together that is thrilling says Miller
nfter defelPng several Patient management programs Miller has found that with appropriate preplanning he can 11rush a program in just 12 hours
From conception to birth in a day he exclaims
Miller has already developed computer simulations in such areas as family medicine pediatrics gynecology and geriatrics
Only 25 years ago we began the great adventure of using the computer as a teaching aid This piece of technology which can seem so complex and frightening is our hope for the future of education says Dr Richard E Pogue professor of Health Systems and Information Sciences and associate professor of family medicine
The computer is another step in the evolution of education which began with Socrates and continued with the invention of the printing press Richard Pogue
Pogue has worked in instructional computing for 10 years and has received numerous invitations to lecture and give workshops on the use of the computer in instruction He is nationally recognized for his work in authoring systems used by Max Miller and Lucille M Pogue and by the American College of Surgeons
In the past says Richard Pogue the ability to use the computer was limited to programmers who had the power pay and knowledge To use the computer we had to go through the high priest of computing No more
Today with the advent of the microcomputer an affordable and powerful computer is available to anyone who desires it Ihe microcomputer is in the hands of the user where it belongs he asserts
With computers we can truly become a community of scholars says Pogue We can conduct research and become involved in joint educational projects without ever meeting facetoface5

PERSPECTIVE
EDITORS NOTE The following remarks are excerpts from a presentation given by Board of Regents Executive Secretary Henry G Neal at the Boards October 1921 workshop held on Sapelo Island
In a recent article by Gene Maeroff published in the Education Summer Survey of the New York Times dated August 19 1984 it was stated
The oncegenteel relations among institutions of higher education traditionally conducted in an ivorytower atmosphere of hushed voices have taken on the strident tones of a street brawl as competition tor students and funds has begun to supersede other concerns Battles over funding and student aid between officials of publicly and privately financed colleges in New York State and elsewhere have spilled over into the view of students donors and legislators as both sides have stepped up efforts to protect their separate interests And more confrontation is expected
In my judgment more confrontation in the University System is inevitable unless we can reach some understanding with the private sector as to the role scope and mission ot the institutions represented by both sides
One small facet of this confrontation recently surfaced in the University System The problem involved an offcampus external degree program proposed by one of our colleges which would have been in conflict with a similar program which had been offered for several years by an established private institution in the same community This territorial conflict and the questions it presented prompt the subject of my remarks this afternoon The Relationship Between the University System and Private Institutions ot Higher Education in Georgia
The delicate balance which has existed between the University System and private sectors in higher education for the past 52 years has been upset by overriding economic factors We have become adversaries with the private sector for the educational dollar For many private colleges it is a matter of survival for our institutions it is a matter ot mission and responsibility What is our charge our responsibility to the public and to our colleagues in the private sector who nurtured higher education long before the taxpayers agreed to shoulder the burden of educational opportunity for everyone
Some may question whether students needs are best served by public or private colleges both of which are vying for their attention I submit that the public generally and our legislators may view institutions of higher education from our flagships to our junior colleges and from small sectarian schools to large private universities as one educational system The public knows what we sometimes overlook that all parties profit from all the other parties and that all institutions of higher learning need one another Neither does the public concern itself with the academic distinctions between the public and private sectors so much as it does with the educational missions of colleges and universities generally
What then is the mission of the University System Our Policies do not speak to this question but the Statement of Plan adopted by the Board of Regents at its second meeting on January 2 1932 states the mission to be as follows
It is the conviction of the Board of Regents that the people of Georgia intended to ordain by the Act creating the Board that the twentysix institutions comprising the University System should no longer function as separate independent and unrelated entities competing with each other tor patronage and financial support
The manifest purpose of the Act creating the Board of Regents is to unify and coordinate the work of these institutions so that the educational program of each shall be integrated with that of every other institution and with the system as a whole The result aimed at is a correlated harmonious and symmetrical structure free from wasteful duplications but providing the maximum of educational opportunity to the students of the State In short the emphasis has been shifted from the interests of particular institutions to the interests of the State
While the traditions the welfare and the prestige of the several branches of the system will be an object ot care on the part of the Board all of their problems are to be finally resolved by the answer to the question What will best serve the educational interests of the State as a whole
With this as the paramount consideration the constant aim of this body will be to establish and maintain a system of higher education that will command the

sympathy and support of our educational leaders and at the same time successfully meet our needs by offering the young men and women of Georgia the maximum of education
To accomplish this result the Regents will after a careful study take such steps that to them seem best to coordinate and unify these institutions so that they will be related in purpose and regulated in scope The only competition in which these schools will hereafter engage will be for preeminence in service and scholarship
Our mission has not really changed except that instead of public institutions competing with each other for patronage and financial support we now find ourselves competing with separate independent and unrelated private colleges for such support
Today practically all states provide some form of financial aid to private colleges or to the students who attend them
What about the missions of private colleges They come in a variety of orientations and a variety of missions They provide religious and ethnic identity as well as tradition and accessibility These private institutions have had a powerful educational impact on Georgia for well over a hundred years In my opinion the public and the students would be the losers if the private colleges were to disappear or to be materially weakened In Georgia such old and well established institutions as Wesleyan LaGrange Brenau Tift Berry Morehouse Spellman Mercer Emory and many others have been a bulwark for their system and ours against interference by politicians and others Formerly most of them offered oncampus degree programs only and did not aggressively compete with our institutions Now however they offer a variety f oncampus and offcampus degree programs which often duplicate programs offered by our institutions in the same area of the state
Some of the better students who formerly attended prestigious private colleges now enroll in public institutions This
has increased the sense of competition Lower tuition strong scholastic standards and multiple degree programs at public institutions are the primary attraction On an average tuition today is three to five times higher at private institutions and students who are admitted to these colleges often enroll in state supported schools when they discover the difference in tuition According to the College Board the average annual tuition at fouryear public colleges is about 1100 while at similar private institutions which are supported mainly by tuition and gifts it is approximately 5000
What about the division of enrollment Nationwide 30 years ago private and public institutions enrolled about an equal number of students Today approximately 80 percent are in public colleges and universities The percentages are about the same in Georgia In 1983 there were roughly
36000students or about 21 percent of the total enrolled in 35 private colleges and special purpose institutions all but three of which are located north of Macon At least 17300 of these students were Georgia residents and the institutions in which they were enrolled received 725 per student this year or a total of 10567000 from the state Almost 88 million has been spent on these tuition grants in the last 12 years Our headcount enrollment in the System last year was about
138000students for which we received state appropriations in excess of 578000000 Some legislators contend that it makes better sense to pay the 725 tuition grant to private schools than to pay the 5200 a year which the state appropriates for the average public college student
Today practically all states provide some form of financial aid to private colleges or to the students who attend them

Tuition grant programs exist in 10 of the 14 southern states monitored by the Southern Regional Education Board The amount of such aid is increasing as legislators respond to political pressures Direct aid by states to private institutions is provided in a numberot different ways unrestricted gifts to specific institutions capitation grants subsidies for special programs eg medical andor nursing disadvantaged students and contracts with private colleges for educational services or for the education of state residents
In 1978 the Georgia General Assembly created the Private College and Universities Facilities Authority to deal with the financing of private notforprofit institutions ot higher learning The authority is not a state department or agency but rather an instrument of purely public charity performing an essentially governmental function being a distinct corporate entity It provides assistance by issuing revenue bonds and lending the proceeds from the bonds under loan agreements with the institutions However the credit of the state is not pledged under this process The total amount ot such assistance provided to date has been 135 million
The American Association of State Colleges and Universities has urged that private colleges be required to account for all public funds received that such institutions should be subject to commonly accepted governance and academic standards
The financial aid referred to above has been given despite constitutional prohibitions against direct appropriation of tax funds to private or sectarian colleges The American Association of State Colleges and Universities has urged that private colleges be required to account for all public funds received that such institutions should be subject to commonly accepted governance and academic standards I agree and I believe that our legislature may be moving in that direction
Last April the Georgia Legislative Educational Research Council approved a research project to study the Georgia Tuition Equalization Grant Program offcampus extension programs and program approval for private degreegranting institutions Our legislators have expressed concerns about these programs their current operation and future implications for higher education The purpose of this study is to enable the General Assembly to make sound decisions relative to funding new programs and enrollment tiends
The study material states that private colleges compete for students with public colleges by establishing offcampus private school programs within close proximity to public college campuses This is true and to say the least it has not strengthened our relationship with the private institutions
This competition for funds has become especially keen in our legislature Twentyfour of the private colleges have banded themselves together in an association known as the Association of Private Colleges and Universities in Georgia Among the stated purposes of the association is to solicit legislation important to the welfare of Georgias private colleges and universities
In the past our relationship with the private institutions in Georgia has been good and mutually supportive
In the past our relationship with the private institutions in Georgia has been good and mutually supportive In 1972 we did not oppose the inauguration of the tuition grant program which provided grants of 400 per student to freshman and sophom*ore students only Nor have we in recent years to my knowledge at least expressed our collective opposition to annual increases in the amount of the grants and an extension of the program to all students including graduate students Likewise I know of no instance where private interests have openly opposed our budget request
This apparently has not been the case however in other states such as New York where the two sides have fought openly and bitterly over the direction of public policy for higher education And the battle is still raging I am advised that they schedule meetings but no one comes The principal issue is the tuition gap between the public and private sector In Ohio state university presidents are upset over a bill similar to our grant program which passed last year giving each private college student who is a resident ot Ohio a tuition grant of 500 regardless of need It was enacted over the strong objection of public institutions
In recent years we have voiced our concerns without much success however with regard to large state appropriations six million dollars last year to two private medical schools Mercer and Morehouse In addition student capitation grants to these institutions and Emory last year amounted to 2601000 This recent competition for public funds coupled with increased academic competition generated by external program duplication by both sides has caused a serious deterioration in our relationship with private institutions As the competition has intensified our colleges have begun to seek more aggressively donations from sources formerly left to the private domain

Tin System Summary
We must find solutions to these problems which are basic concerns of both sectors We must reopen our lines of communication and sit down with our counterparts in the private sector and as rational individuals discuss the issues as well as the needs of the areas served and develop operational guidelines for both sides based on sound educational principles Nobody likes to plan for an enrollment decline or even think about closing an institution but sensible planning may mean that we can avoid some of the tragedies that a civil war in higher education may produce
1 understand that last year Chancellor William Danforth of Washington University in St Louis private and the president of the University of Missouri public brought together 40 college and university presidents to try to head off bitter skirmishes caused by a failure of state aid to keep pace with inflation Chancellor Danforth said This is a longrange problem and we thought it would be good for people in both sectors to talk about how to serve our institutions and the state together
At stake ultimately is the survival of our uniquely American system of higher education that in the past has combined the vitality and accessibility of public schools with the excellence and experimentation of private schools
I respectfully submit that the good relationship between the University System and private institutions of higher education in Georgia which we have enjoyed in the past must not be allowed to degenerate into an unhealthy struggle for funds and students
The good relationship between the University System and private institutions must not be allowed to degenerate into an unhealthy struggle for funds and students
In Pennsylvania and California I am told there is little strife between the two sectors The Pennsylvania Association of Colleges and Universities has been lobbying the legislature on behalf of both public and private institutions for the past decade In the West in general and California in particular they have been able to generate bipartisan support for student assistance We might well profit from their experience
The Exxon Education Foundation hoping to develop a spirit of cooperation has given 50000 to the Association of Governing Boards a nationwide organization of college trustees to which we belong to explore solutions to these problems gripping higher education Since this group has members from both sectors it has a foot in each camp
We must reopen our lines of communication and sit down with our counterparts in the private sector and develop operational guidelines for both sides based on sound educational principles
President Frank Rhodes of Cornell University said recently that Our dual system forms an educational enterprise which is rightly the envy of the world Everyone agrees that there should be unity among leaders of higher education but the sad thing is that all too often weve been so busy protecting our turf that weve overlooked the fact that were a public service and fulfill a fundamental purpose for the onomic industrial and social health of the community nless we find ways to cooperate the danger is that the public is going to see us as just another political lobby
As Dr Timothy Healy President of Georgetown University speaking on this topic and paraphrasing the words of Dylan Thomas said recently It seems to me that together public and private large and small we are all in the business for the love of man and in the praise of God We d be damn fools if we ever forgot how these ends make us one

Computers Continued from Page 9
Says Pogue The computer is the greatest teaching tool
that man has yet invented
Pogue finds that many people both students and faculty would like to become involved in the computer revolution but dont know where to start
The best way to begin he says is to first decide that you will put aside the time to learn Buy your own computer and start using it The only way 1 could get a real sense ot the microcomputer was to sit down and use it Firsthand experience is ultimately the best
1 think its important to be futureoriented says Lucille Pogue nurse educator and coordinator for computer activities at Talmadge Memorial Hospital Role change should be seen in terms of challenge and accomplishment rather than as a threat to the status quo
One of the great advantages in using the computer as an instructional vehicle is that the computer can require active participation with the learner and can be highly individualized Lucille Pogue
As a staff development educator Lucille Pogue has been involved in computerassisted instruction in continuing education for the last four years Her department provides inservice and continuing education to approximately 500 licensed nursing employees at MCG s teaching hospital
She began her present project in 1980 when she was awarded a 9000 grant from the Apple Education Foundation to develop computer lessons on drug therapy tor nuises
One of the great advantages in using the computer as an instructional vehicle says Mrs Pogue is that the computer can require active participation with the learner and can be highly individualized
Computer instruction also provides selfpaced immediate feedback an important consideration in the continuing education inservice setting where new employees come with varying educational backgrounds and professional experiences
Mrs Pogue clearly enjoys her role as a pathfinder She is excited about presenting a session at the annual conference ot the American Nurses Association Council on Continuing Education in October 1984 and at the International Symposium on Nursing Uses of Computers and Information Sciences at Calgary in Alberta Canada in 1985
The computer is a great aid to teaching says Dr Abdulla M Abdulla associate professor of medicine He should know he has developed several programs which present the medical student with a variety of challenges
14
For example in one program the student is presented with this drama a 36yearold white man has come into the emergency room complaining of chest pains The student can ask the patient questions such as Do you smoke
The answer comes from a patient the user can actually see
and hear on a television screen
Lets see Ive been smoking two packs a day tor about
two years the patient says
The student can order a series of tests and get a report on the results If the student decides surgery is required he or she is shown a tape of an actual procedure
Abdulla began work on his teaching computer in 1979 using a tape recorder and slide projector Today the new computer uses a laser disc cheaper and technologically superior to the old system
Abdullas computerized instructional programs are many and varied The Georgia Heart Association has granted him 30000 to prepare a computer course in advanced cardiopulmonary resuscitation
And the Chicagobased journal Physicians and Computers has awarded him 12000 to develop computerized continuing medical education courses The 90000 circulation journal publishes an article describing each course Then interested readers mail in requests for a computer disc whic contains the program for use on a home computer Upon completion the student receives credit for the course
Computers says Abdulla should not be used to memorize facts but to use and apply facts
Abdulla also likes to get away from using multiplechoice queries in his Patient Management Programs Unfortunately adds Abdulla life doesnt give us multiplechoice
questions
Students need to learn to diagnose treat and supervise patients with various diseases and problems and this requires original thinking The teaching computer allows medical students to practice and apply their knowledge without harming a reallife patient if they make a mistake
Some people fear technology thinking its going to replace them The computer is merely meant to serve as an
aid to teaching
Intuitively says Abdulla I feel it is a fantastic way to
teach
MDs need to be open to new sources ot information says Dr Lloyd A Lewis professor of medical education and professor of educational research and development
One of his jobs is to encourage faculty to take advantage of the resources of computerassisted instruction on the MC campus
In addition to encouraging faculty members to be more aware of how computers could enhance their teaching Lewis is endeavoring to help medical students become aware of how computers can improve their practice A computer can assist the physician in conventional ways such as in billing an word processing and in more novel ways such as in making a tentative diagnosis of a patient s illness
Lewis teaches a computer course for those interested in computer applications in medicine The class covers such
The System Summary
topics as historical perspectives of the computer word processing and test editing biomedical research data base management medical instrumentation programming the computer clinical decision analysis medical and surgical information systems computerassisted instruction and artificial intelligence in medicine
Computers can do so much of the housekeeping work for teachers says Lewis Computers can keep grades easily and can be a great teaching aid if computerassisted instruction is used he tells MCG faculty members in his workshops
Because my job is to give educational support to students and educators I try to encourage them to see the computer as an adjunct to the more traditional methods of education
Many of our faculty members come from an era when computers werent used Therefore they need to be reassured that a computer can be a good servant not a bad master he adds
Lewis is enthusiastic about a new direction in medicine using artificial intelligence to make diagnoses The computer can actually synthesize data and come to a decision make a tentative diagnosis It is exciting
The computer cant replace the physician but it can make it easier to do a better job
Lloyd A Lewis
Already he says an experimental program has been developed that can provide consultative advice on diagnosis and therapy for infectious diseases with 80 percent accuracy Many nonspecialist physicians he observes may not have that good a record
Artificial intelligence can be particularly helpful for general primary care physicians who have to make diagnostic decisions about a large number of medical problems With the aid of the computer they will be able to do their job even better
The computer cant replace the physician but it can make it easier to do a better job says Lewis
Whats in the future for medicine and computers We already know that computers have enormous potential for sifting through complex banks of medical data and integrating the information contained within them This can be useful in such diverse areas as diagnosis and epidemiology High definition pattern recognition programs can also be set to screen blood samples seeking out malignant cells or other disruptive blood conditions
Diagnosis is a matter of identifying sets of symptoms matching them against known illnesses and ranking them in descending order of probability Once computers have been equipped with the appropriate data for matching the symp
toms on the tables of probabilities they will be capable ot speedier far more accurate diagnoses Computers will also be able to recommend the appropriate treatment for the case taking into account the fullest details of the patients previous medical history
In the future even the most powerful systems will occupy a small space computers will be portable and unobtrusive For example wristwatches may incorporate miniature medical computers which sample pulse blood pressure the constituents of sweat and other body secretions and when paired with a microfine probe even the contents of the bloodstream itself
Microprocessors could be implanted in critical areas of the body equipped with sensors to detect the first sign of malignant cells being generated They might even be able to destroy the cells as they appear and their tiny size would enable them to draw on the bodys own metabolic processes for their power
One thing is certain the Medical College of Georgia is now playing an important role in the unfolding drama of computers and medicine

achieve some measure of independence for these individuals
The concept which makes progress with Teppie possible was conceived in the early 1970s by Dr Duane M Rumbaugh His idea was to develop a computerbased language research and instructional system for research into the requisites of symbol and language learning with chimpanzees
Rumbaugh is chairman of GSUs psychology department affiliate scientist at Emory Universitys Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center and director of the Language Research Center which is operated cooperatively by GSU and the Yerkes center The majority of funding support for the Language Research Center is provided by a grant from the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development
Rumbaughs work and that of his associates has demonstrated that although apes dont ordinarily learn language they can learn parts of it The conditions which foster their learning have in turn been found to foster language learning in some mentally retarded children who otherwise failed to learn it
The chimpanzee is a remarkable biological and psychological resource to gain a better understanding into the basic requisites to symbol acquisition semantics and language skills Rumbaugh said A normal child learns language so fast that it is difficult to get a finegrained analysis of what has happened The child learns a lot about language a long time before he becomes competent in speaking and is in no way a pure or naive subject Chimps come naive Their mothers dont talk and every bit of language they have learned has been the result of clever teaching and experimentation
The chimpanzee is a remarkable biological and psychological resource to gain a better understanding into the basic requisites to symbol acquisition semantics and language skills
Duane Rumbaugh
As originally designed the computermonitored system consisted of a computer keyboard on which each key represented a specific word Nine geometric shapes or stimulus elements were combined to create words for each key Used alone or projected in sequences combinations of two three or four the elements could generate some 255 Yerkish words With eight small projection screens above the board a sixword sentence could be produced with the first screen used for yes no please and a question mark The last screen was for a period which signaled the computer to record and evaluate the sentence
Initially to motivate the chimps to use the keyboard many of the first lexigrams developed represented foods
The first chimp involved in the project Lana soon learned a number of stock sentences that enabled her to obtain food drink or entertainment slides movies music etc from the machine without a human being present
To Rumbaugh and his colleagues including Dr E Sue SavageRumbaugh associate research scientist with the Yerkes Center Lana began moving into the domain of true language after she began using words in ways that were not originally intended No which at first meant simply it is not true that became a generalized term that Lana used as a command dont do that or a declarative statement there is none of what you say there is in the machine for vending
This languagelike behavior was also seen in her ability to compose novel sentences within a conversational context by drawing on stock sentences she already knew
What we really want to know is When apes use symbols in a manner that appears to be like the humans use of words do they know what they are saying Duane Rumbaugh
Other work in the field of apelanguage research also seemed to indicate that apes have the capacity for rudimentary language
Using American Sign Language psychologists Allen and Beatrice Gardner of the University of Nevada claimed in 1971 that they had taught a chimpanzee named Washoe to recognize and use signs for 132 different words In California David Premack using plastic chips taught 130 words and several phrases to a chimp named Sarah
But the Rumbaughs research had not concerned itself with the number of words signs or symbols an ape could leam but with the language acquisition process itself and the Lana Project had raised a number of questions Was Lanas languagelike behavior actual symbolic communication or simply an elaborate series of conditioned responses Could the cognitive process that allows a dynamic communication system to develop in children also be fostered in chimpanzees
For apes to use symbols as words might indicate competence for language but not necessarily Rumbaugh wrote What we really want to know is When apes use symbols in a manner that appears to be like the humans use of words do they know what they are saying Therein lies the crux of the issue
In attempting to answer these crucial questions research began in 1976 with two chimps named Sherman and Austin The eightyear project headed by SavageRumbaugh included a number of experiments designed to determine whether the chimps actually understood the symbolic rela
16
The System Summary

In a foodsharing exercise Austin watches intently to see what Sherman will request
tionship between the wordlexigram and the object to which it referred To do this it was not only necessary to have the chimps name or request objects but also to act on messages they received and be able to refer to objects that they could
not see
This is the essence of semantics the ability to refer to things not necessarily present the Rumbaughs wrote
After the chimps became familiar with various food names attempts were made to teach the pair names of objects that were not ingestible The experiments were only successful when the objects used in joint efforts were necessary in acquiring food It soon became clear that the function of a tool a sponge for soaking up liquid a key for opening locked containers or a stick used to dip yogurt or peanut butter from a long tube rather than its shape size color or texture was crucial in Shermans and Austins ability to discern the meaning of an object name
Thus keyness is the property of making doors openable and not the small brass oblong object SavageRumbaugh wrote Attempts to teach key by holding one up as an exemplar and encouraging by various means the chim
panzee to name it might go on for weeks or longer to no avail If however one links keyness to the operations of opening doors of consequence then the word is learned in a matter of hours
The most striking evidence that the symbols were being used representationally came in an experiment in which Sherman and Austin were able to separate a number of foods and tools into their respective generic categories
In the fivestage experiment the chimps were first given three foods and three tools which they learned to sort correctly into two bins Pictures of the objects then replaced the objects themselves The bins were then taken away and the chimps were asked to label the pictures using the two lexigrams representing the generic categories Finally the lexigrams for the foods and tools replaced the pictures
Working with objects they had not classified before Sherman and Austin almost errorlessly categorized lexigrams for a variety of objects under the categories represented by the

two lexigrams Throughout 17 trials only one error was made Sherman categorized a sponge as a food
Rumbaugh said the chimps probably understood the essence of generic classification before the tests were given
Either animals are able to do this or they are not he said We dont believe for a moment that one can shape up condition through a series of approximations that kind of understanding or symbolic process as one might shape up a motor response
The experiment convinced the Runtbaughs that our language data are not simple associations but are rather reflections of cognitions and understandings of relationships and it supports the contention that our methods are either generating or at a miminum are compatible with highlevel cognitive functions and that their application to languagedeficient mentally retarded children should foster intellectual functioning
Rumbaugh said the chimps grasp of a dynamic communication system is also illustrated in their apparent understanding of the value of that system If you turn off their keyboard they will use another method of communication
Through their work with Lana Sherman and Austin the Runtbaughs concluded that the ability to acquire language is not a genetic trait to be found in apes or humans but that it is mans high intelligence that allows him to agree on common symbols that can represent those things that make up his environment They also found that portions of language are not necessarily the sole property of hom*o sapiens Certain facets of language could be fostered in apes in varied levels of sophistication
This has been clearly illustrated in recent work Sue SavageRumbaugh has done with a young pygmy chimpanzee named Kanzi Just by watching people and apes use them Kanzi has spontaneously learned some 190 lexigrams And in contrast to Sherman and Austin who were at best able to learn three or four spoken English words within a limited context Kanzi can understand a large number of specific English words
In blind tests where the possibility of inadvertent cues from the instructor were avoided Kanzi was able to correctly identify specific objects using only the spoken word of the tutor
In many ways the pygmy chimp appears to be an exception to the common chimpanzee Rumbaugh said They

appear to be much more adroit in inferring and learning the meaning of symbols spontaneously that is without the arduous teaching we went through with Sherman and Austin
But no matter how much or how fast the apes learn the validation of the Rumbaughs work may lie ultimately not with chimps but with humans
Using the primate studies as a working model Mary Ann Romski and her colleagues have established a functional symbolic communication system through which eight severely retarded persons who previously had no means of communicating have acquired language skills Some have learned as many as 75 wordlexigrams
For severely retarded nonspeaking persons who have failed in other kinds of intervention programs I have never seen this kind of progress Mary Ann Romski
The methods developed in the primate project have been a good model Romski said Our languageintervention methods have evolved using the nonhuman primate models processes
Debbie Teppie and Sandra were first introduced to lexigrams through which they could make a request for food The symbol was then moved randomly about the board and two more irrelevant symbols were added This way they learned to scan the board for the proper lexigram and concentrate on the specific shape of the geometric symbol rather than its position
And although Romski said initial progress was slow the number of trials required to learn lexigrams has decreased over time
They learn how to learn and the quality of what they learn improves Romski said They have maintained a 90 percent retention rate For severely retarded nonspeaking persons who have failed in other kinds of intervention programs I have never seen this kind of progress
As their ability to communicate improved so did other skills
The acquisition of a rudimentary language system has not only allowed them to gain more control over their environment it has also positively affected their behavior
They are now able to coordinate vocalizations and gestures with lexigrams Romski said Teppie has learned to use her symbols to specify things This ability is critical to the communicative independence of the subject
The acquisition of a rudimentary language system has not only allowed them to gain more control over their environment it has also positively affected their behavior
Personnel at the Developmental Learning Center began to notice changes in the womens attitudes Teppies physical therapist said that she has become more positive about doing things and Debbie initiates more interaction than before Temper tantrums have decreased Instead of passively waiting to be acted upon the women are now taking part in their world
At first their attention span would only be about 15 minutes Romski said of the teaching sessions Now they want to stay all day
They are happier Rumbaugh said All of this we think is every bit as important as the communication skills And basically it all can be traced to the word and sentence skills they acquired

In the near future Romski and her colleagues will take the system to the Developmental Learning Center of Georgia Regional Hospital to see how it will fit into a daily living setting There direct care staff will be taught to use the system with Teppie Debbie Sandra and others Also under a cooperative agreement the system will be made available to nonspeaking severely retarded children in the Clayton County School System who will be taught at home and at school
Overall the nonhuman primate model will allow individuals who encounter difficulty communicating using speech a viable alternative communication system Such information Romski said will have a significant impact on future clinical speechlanguage services for severely retarded persons

Females Males Differ in Enrollment Student Aid
Women and Financial Aid is the subject of a policy brief which examines the differences between female and male students in enrollment and student aid The brief prepared by the American Council on Education explores such areas as contradictory policies between federal student aid programs and public welfare programs and policies differentially affecting independent and parttime students

Speaking of Propst and of the other final candidate University of Georgia President Fred C Davison Smith said that he two were able candidates both of whose credentials were outstanding

Unafraid of Challenges Propst Says Following Announcement
Editors Note Dr H Dean Propst made the following remarks at the November 14 Board of Regents meeting where it was announced that he had been selected by the Regents as the next chancellor of the University System of Georgia
I am awed by but unafraid of the challenges that will confront public higher education in Georgia in the years ahead Clearly recognizing the enormity of the challenges involving great issues of equity access and excellence I know that the collective intelligence available within the University System can and will be mobilized to sustain and to improve the educational opportunities we offer the people of Georgia
The University System is fortunate to have the kind of leadership at the institutional level in the persons of its 33 presidents and the kind of dedication at the central office staff level that can guarantee great strides forward to attain common goals and objectives Those who work with me in my role as chancellor will soon discover that 1 can be toughminded when toughmindedness is necessary But they will also know that every decision I make will be undergirded by
Continued on Next Page
Continued from Previous Page
the element of humaneness that must forever be a hallmark ot higher education
To succeed in the attainment of our goals and objectives we in the University System cannot stand alone The support of the states elected leaders the Governor and the members of the General Assembly is essential if we are to be successful That support has in the past been generous and will continue to be so if we effectively tell our story and keep the lines of communication free of artificial impediments We will need the support of and will need to be supportive of the efforts of our colleagues at the public elementary and secondary school levels Ours must be a working partnership designed to improve all levels of education in the state
We will need the support of the states agricultural business and industrial communities and will gain that support only if we effectively respond to their needs for education research and technical assistance But most of all we need the support of the people of Georgia for it is the people whom we serve ultimately Their lives are made better in direct proportion to our success in providing them with the intellectual and technical skills necessary for their personal and economic advancement
As chancellor I will work with the Board of Regents in a major effort to forge a working partnership involving all these constituencies and designed to create the kind ot understanding cooperation and mutual support that will make our University System the envy of all the other states
As I look around this historic board room I see the portraits of my predecessors who have served with distinction in the position I will fill My eyes are drawn particularly to the portrait of George L Simpson who was chancellor when I arrived in Georgia in 1969 We owe Chancellor Simpson a great debt for the legacy he left to us His vigor insight and vision served this state well during a time of explosive growth in public higher education and give us the base from which we operate today
I will never lose sight of the fact that it is the Board not the chancellor that has the constitutional responsibility to govern control and manage the University System of Georgia
I see too seated in this room Chancellor Vernon Crawford whose stewardship of the System has been marked by grace intellect wisdom and most important a singleminded quest for excellence These men have set a standard of outstanding leadership which insures their illustrious place in the history of this System
1 would like to say some personal words about President
Fred Davison of the University of Georgia First of all he is my friend a friendship I value highly His has been a remarkable record of leadership that has brought the university to the forefront among the nations comprehensive research institutions His advice and counsel along with that of so many others will be of great value to me and to the System as we strive to create the best of public higher education opportunities for those whom we serve
The greatness of this University System has its roots in this constitutional independence of decisionmaking by the Board
Let me say to the Board of Regents that 1 clearly understand that I serve as your arm It is your policies that I will implement You deserve my best advice and counsel and you will have it I will never lose sight of the fact that it is the Board not the chancellor that has the constitutional responsibility to govern control and manage the University System of Georgia
The greatness of this University System has its roots in this constitutional independence of decisionmaking by the Board This is the legacy of those in the past who understood that the locus of control must be vested in citizens who will make decisions that will best serve the educational interests of the state as a whole independently of outside influences You have placed great confidence in me My every act in the years ahead will be devoted to confirming the validity of that confidence
Finally I am proud to be a Georgian I am honored to have the opportunity to serve the state and its people in the position of chancellor of the University System This is of course a great day for me personally My obligation now is to insure that it is a great day for all those who have placed their trust in
me

The System Summary
Regents Endorse Provisional Admission Criteria
The Board of Regents at the November meeting endorsed provisional admission criteria for those students entering University System institutions who do not have the requirements specified in the new precollege curriculum which will go into effect in the fall of 1988
In February 1984 the Regents with the full support of the State Department of Education approved a precollege curriculum which all students enrolling in programs leading to a baccalaureate degree will be required to complete before gaining regular admission to any of Georgias public junior colleges senior colleges and universities
Thus far this change in college admission standards has had a tremendous impact on the high schools of the state said Dr Ray Cleere assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs We hope that we will dramatically improve access to higher education by clarifying our expectations of high school students
The requirements in the new curriculum are four credits of English three credits of social sciences three credits of mathematics three credits of science and two credits of foreign languages
At the time the new curriculum was approved guidelines lor allowing provisional admission for those students without the required credits were not yet developed
On the recommendation of the Administrative Committee on Academic Affairs and the Advisory Council the Board has now endorsed provisional admission criteria and the recommendation that the criteria become effective with the high school graduating class of spring 1988 and remain in effect through the high school graduating class of spring
The provisional admission guidelines endorsed by the Board are as follows
Institutions may maintain a provisional admission category for those students who do not meet the regular admission standards The following represents the minimum criteria for provisional admission though institutions may set higher standards
English Students graduating in the Spring of 1988 or later with less than the 4 required units of English would be required to take the Basic Skills Examination BSE in English and Reading Based upon the students score the student would 1 exempt Developmental Studies English andor Reading or 2 be placed in Developmental Studies English andor Reading
Mathematics Students graduating in the Spring of 1988 or later with less than the 3 required units of Mathematics would be required to take the BSE in Mathematics Based upon the students score the student would 1 exempt Developmental Studies Mathematics or 2 be placed in Developmental Studies Mathematics at the appropriate level
Social Studies Students graduating in the Spring of 1988 or later with less than 3 units of social science would be required to complete one additional fivehour or credit course chosen from the approved social science courses in Area III
Science Students graduating in the Spring of 1988 or later with less than 3 units of science would be required to take an additional fivehour for credit course in a laboratory science chosen from the approved laboratory sciences in Area II
Foreign Language Students graduating in the Spring of 1988 or later with less than 2 units of foreign language would be required to complete one additional fivehour for credit introductory foreign language course
Additional Provisions The following provisions apply to the Foreign Language Social Science and Science requirements These additional required courses represent 15 hours of coursework beyond the normal degree requirements The student must earn a C or better in each of these required courses Entering freshmen must take these required courses by the time they have earned 45 hours of credit Transfer students must take these courses immediately upon entering the System institution or as soon as possible thereafter The courses should be taken with the idea of expanding the students previous exposure to these disciplines
Application of These Provisions The requirements listed above apply to students transferring into any System institution unless the student has completed both the Freshman and Sophom*ore years These requirements also apply to students seeking to change from twoyear terminal degree programs to baccalaureate programs within System institutions

PERSPECTIVE
EDITORS NOTE T F Davenport Jr chairman of the National Advisory Board at the Georgia Institute of Technology gave an address at the October 26 dinner hosted by Georgia Tech honoring past and present members of the Board of Regents Excerpts from his remarks are printed below
I believe that Georgia Tech and similar institutions are the cornerstone of Americas economic future That s a pretty strong statement but in a very real sense it is true Its true because Americas frontier is increasingly global International trade is where most future economic growth will occur and America must play a major part in it
If we are to capture our share of international markets we must capitalize on technology We must infuse our products and services with the highest quality and deliver them at affordable competitive prices to markets around the world Lets face it were not doing that as well as we once did
To regain our position we must educate a steady stream of men and women in technology its applications and the implications of that technology to tomorrow s public and private sectors
It is vital to Georgia and to the nation that Georgia Tech continue to provide such talent To do so Tech must remain on the cutting edge of technology That means not only staying abreast of current and emerging innovations in technology but also the more practical aspects of how to exploit that technology by effective implementation in all segments of industry and society And most of all it means conveying that knowledge and the enthusiasm and vision to exploit it to the young people enrolled in this institution
Certainly it is easy to state that Americas economic future depends on our success in improving our competitiveness in international trade But making it happen is going to be a difficult task involving us all And we have a long way to go
For example 20 years ago when todays Tech seniors were babies only 25 percent of U S products were subject to international competition Today its 75 percent
One consequence is that this year we will run up a foreign trade deficit of an estimated 120 billion This is an alltime record
The US Trade Commission reported last year a new and ominous pattern in USJapanese trade The top five US exports to Japan are com soy beans wheat cotton and coal relatively cheap commodity products The top five US imports from Japan are autos trucks video recorders motorcycles and oil well casings relatively high value hard goods that Japan produces economically by exploiting technology
The International Trade Commission points out that such a trade pattern suggests that the United States is an underdeveloped colonial country shipping raw commodities to the Mother Country and buying back the Mother Countrys finished goods
Sounds like 1774 not 1984
What lies ahead
In Gerald ONeills latest book The Technology Edge ONeill identifies six technologies as key to our economic future They are microengineering already a 100 billion industry and doubling every four years robotics not only doing routine work better but replicating themselves genetic reconstruction magnetic flight personal aircraft and largescale construction in space
Because the next generations future is going to be so very different from the past that we have known we must make certain that Georgia Tech for all its rich traditions becomes firmly linked to the future and not encrusted in its past
Clearly industry must get its technological house in order if we are to compete successfully in such global markets One prerequisite to doing so is vibrant institutions like Georgia Tech supplying a steady stream of technically educated globalthinking students chomping at the bit to show America and the world what America really can do if it sets its collective mind to the task
The facts show that Georgia Tech is doing an excellent job with the resources it has Over the past five years Tech has conferred technical degrees on more than 12000 students including nearly 8000 engineers Fortysix percent of the graduates went to work for Fortune 500 companies and more than 42 percent remained in Georgia An additional 29 percent settled in neighboring southeastern states More important the number of Techs engineering graduates continues to rise from 1225 in 1979 to 1824 in 1983
But will there be enough of them No We already have a shortage of engineers and other technical personnel
If present trends continue the situation will be worse before it gets better Per capita Japan has three times more engineers than the United States and while the number of US engineering graduates rose in the 1970s the number obtaining PhDs actually fell 30 percent
Why Graduates with bachelor of science degrees are so desperately needed that lucrative industry offers are winning out over an additional investment in education Even engineering faculties are hard hit by the lure of higher industrial salaries In 1980 over 10 percent of engineering faculty positions were unfilled
8
The System Summary
On Technology and the US Economy
The danger of eating our seed com is obvious Japan with half our population annually graduates onethird more engineers than we do
All of this sets up a vicious cycle as ONeill describes it
There are too few engineers As a result engineering salaries are forced so high that industry cant invest enough research and development in engineering new products
Because we havent sufficiently exploited computeraided design or robotics Japanese firms have gained an advantage in the rapid design of products that are effective attractive and elegant in operation as well as easy to produce and simple to modify for world markets As a result our products are less competitive in world markets We lose another export market Our economy takes another hit
That puts more pressure on profits and reduces taxes and there is even less money to be invested in universities to enable us to pull out of the downward spiral
To a degree its a matter of attitude and priority Perhaps ours is reflected in the joke popular a few years ago that when the federal government slapped emission and gasmileage requirements on the auto industry American car makers hired more lawyers and the Japanese hired more engineers Unfortunately there is more than a little truth in that humor
Fortunately Americas auto makers have reacted A recent New York Times article described General Motors Corps 52 million investment in a factory of the future which will operate via robots for eight hours under computer control leapfrogging plants in operation elsewhere particularly Japan
Because the next generations future is going to be so very different from the past that we have known we must make certain that Georgia Tech for all its rich traditions becomes irmly linked to the future and not encrusted in its past
Again there is ample evidence of the efforts of Techs faculty and administrative leaders to do so as we reflect on their focus on areas also identified by ONeill as key from
In education in technology and in world trade America has been napping but as that sleeping giant awakens and exercises its potential we can be optimistically assured of the future we all want fr those who come after us

microelectronics to bioengineering to computer science to applied research
If Tech is to continue to fulfill the needs of our nation it will need additional help and the time for extending such help couldnt be more propitious As Tech launches its second century of service to Georgia and the nation President Joseph Pettit sees Tech boldly accepting the challenge of exploiting emerging technology to win worldwide markets
How do we meet this challenge First we need to gain recognition of the problem and a commitment to joint action between industry and academia Next we need to educate the public to insure that all those who pay the taxes for higher education and their elected representatives focus clearly on two needs exploiting technology which is essential if we are to gain competitive advantage in worldwide markets and making the required investments in education which is a fundamental requirement if we are to prepare our future leaders to be able to do so effectively
In education in technology and in world trade America has been napping but as that sleeping giant awakens and exercises its potential we can be optimistically assured of the future we all want for those who come after us A future of peace a future of prosperity a future in which the quality of life reflects our basic values
I believe this is a pivotal time in the history of our nation and this institution If David Rockefeller was right when he said Necessity is the mother of invention but discontent is the father of progress then we need people who are not content to let America sleep
The only question that remains is this Who is going to awaken the giant As Erskine Love said last May If not we who If not now when

A liaison committee was appointed to deal with the issues involved in the increasing competition between the public and private sectors for funding and for students The committee consists of Regents Julius F Bishop of Athens John E Skandalakis of Atlanta and Arthur M Gignilliat Jr of Savannah who will serve as chairman
The resolution adopted by the Board reads as follows
WHEREAS the delicate balance which has existed between the University System and private sectors of higher education for the past 52 years has been upset in recent months by overriding economic factors and
WHEREAS the competition for students and funds between public and private institutions in higher education has increased principally because of duplication of degree programs offered by both sectors in certain areas of our State and
WHEREAS this is a longrange problem which must be addressed by those charged with the responsibility
of governance of higher education in the public as well as the private sector
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia does hereby record its concern over the possible deterioration of the good relationship which we have enjoyed with the many fine private institutions located in our state and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED that we do hereby express our desire to reopen lines of communication with our colleagues in the private sector through their representative body the Georgia Association of Private Colleges and Universities and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED that we favor and encourage discussion of the issues involved as well as the educational needs of the areas which we both serve that we should jointly endeavor to develop operational guidelines based on sound educational principles concerning the offering of external degree programs and that together we should cooperatively seek solutions to these and other problems of mutual concern facing higher education in Georgia today

MLKs Birthday To Be 11th University System Holiday
The Board of Regents voted in December to amend its policy on holidays to change the number of holidays observed by the University System to 11 rather than 10 and to include in those 11 days the birthday of Dr Martin Luther King Jr
Section 80207 of the Boards Policy Manual will now read as follows
Each institution within the System shall establish eleven II official paid holidays each calendar year for employees at the institution These holidays shall be awarded in addition to earned vacation time and shall be observed in accordance with the rules and regulations set forth by the respective institutions A terminating employee shall not be paid for any official holidays occurring after the last working day of employment
Tech Asked To Continue Study Of Engineering Program Needs
The Board of Regents approved in December a recommendation that the Georgia Institute of Technology be asked to continue the study of the need for a second undergraduate engineering program in the University System ot Georgia

PERSPECTIVE
The December 1984 meeting of the Board of Regents was hosted by the Georgia Institute of Technology Georgia Tech President Joseph M Pettit spoke about a longrange planning project recently undertaken by Georgia Tech administrators Presenting information about the longrange planning process for their particular areas were Dr Henry Bourne vice president for academic affairs Dr William Fash dean of the College of Architecture and Dr William Sangster dean of the College of Engineering Excerpts from their remarks follow
Dr Joseph M Pettit president
We are in the midst of something called longrange planning or strategic planning which is kind of a buzzword in the corporate world
Its our centennial and were trying to do some forward thinking not just look back at 100 years but try to look forward at what we ought to be doing and where we ought to be going We did a management survey of what our people think about our needs our management needs and how to improve the way we do things We engaged in the study under the auspices of the Higher Education Management Institute which was at that time affiliated with the American Council on Education It was a program funded by the Exxon Education Foundation spending about 3 million converting corporate terminology and thinking into the academic world which is a different world
We divided the institute into work groups groups of managers reporting to other managers 1 had my own group with my vice presidents and certain others reporting to me We subjected ourselves to a very extensive questionnaire on what we thought was wrong what we thought should be improved
One interesting thing that came out of it was that even though I meet with my vice presidents every week they didnt have a very clear idea or so they said anonymously in the questionnaire of what their colleagues were thinking or planning or intending in their part of the institute And absent that how could any one of them know what the overall institute was supposed to be doing or where it was supposed to be going
There was the general perception by administrators around the campus that there wasnt any longrange plan or if there was they didnt know about it and they certainly hadnt had any part in it
So we were addressing all these needs at the same time
We set a horizon down the road two horizons in fact
for our needs The corporate horizon typically is five years the fiveyear plan is common parlance But five years is not a particularly good horizon for this kind of an academic institution working for a Board of Regents and in this kind of a state structure We picked two horizons one one or two years off which is related to what were going to be asking you the Regents for a year or so hence and then another one that is about 20 years down the road or around the year 2000
What we ask for in the budget the year after next has to be related to what our longrange thinking is and not just an assortment of bandaids which is Im afraid what it has been too much in the past
We have assembled the thinking of the vice presidents and within each vice presidency the planning process goes down one level and then down another level and then comes back up again By the time it gets back up well be ready for the budget cycle again And when the budget cycle comes around well ask what is needed by the vice presidents and the deans and how those needs relate to the longrange plan
Were going to give you a sample of that and how the longrange planning process looks in the academic area realizing that each of the other vice presidents will be doing the same kind of thing within his operation But since the academic area is sort of the center of the institution that seemed a good place to begin
Im very enthused about how were doing Its going to be slow it will be several years getting the cycle steady but weve made some progress already in what has been only a year to two years
Dr Henry Bourne vice president for academic affairs
As Dr Pettit pointed out this whole longrange planning process started with the presidents cabinet which normally consists of the vice presidents who report directly to him plus his support staff Each of these vice presidents and the support staff devised their longrange plans and then we spent many hours reconciling those plans and bringing them together so that they made up a coherent whole and in places where they overlapped had common goals and objectives
Those plans were reconciled over some period of time with input from all the other vice presidents Agreeing on a set of longrange plans involved the business vice president student affairs student relations and development and physical facilities all of course have to look at those longrange plans and then decide whether they can provide the proper financing support services buildings everything else that is required in order to fulfill the objectives of those plans

System Summary
On GA Techs Future
The longrange plans flow down to the four colleges management architecture sciences and liberal studies and engineering and in turn flow into the schools and departments underneath them Longrange plans begin to be developed at the school and department level then go back up to the deans
The deans with all that input modify their longrange plans which flow back up to the vice presidents And if we see that the sum total is ridiculous or not ambitious enough or too ambitious we can have a lot of dialogue and we can either change ours or convince them to change theirs That flow down and back up again goes on a yearly cycle and somewhere in that process we develop a budget that we submit to you the Regents and then the process starts all over again with a new set of internal and external parameters that cause those things to change
The academic affairs area can be used to illustrate how the process works We started out thinking about faculty and what we should be shooting for in immediate shortterm goals and what we should be shooting for in longterm goals
Georgia Tech if it is to maintain the expected caliber of student body is going to have to do some recruiting too Dr Henry Bourne
It was pretty clear in the presidents cabinet that we all felt that we had to greatly increase the number of faculty at Georgia Tech Weve had a large increase in the number of students but the faculty has not increased over the same period We want to have roughly one faculty member for every 16 undergraduates and one faculty member for every eight graduate students Georgia Tech should have somewhere around 850 to 860 faculty members So our longterm goal for the year 2000 maintaining enrollments roughly the same as they are now is to add 350 to 360 faculty members To compensate for the lack of fulltime teachers Georgia Tech is now using more graduate teaching assistants than should be used at an institution of its caliber
As for students we project around 11000 students roughly 8000 would be undergraduates and up to 3000 graduate students At Georgia Tfech we have always had a large enough applicant pool that we really didnt worry too much about doing any recruiting But the applicant pool is decreasing the number of 18yearolds around the country is decreasing and a lot of topnotch universities are busily
recruiting topnotch students Georgia Tech if it is to maintain the expected caliber of student body is going to have to do some recruiting too
Dr William Fash dean of the College of Architecture
We currently offer undergraduate programs in architecture building construction and industrial design professional masters programs in architecture and city planning and the doctoral degree in architecture and city planning We project that by the year 2000 we will begin to offer masters level work in industrial design and develop more work in the area of interior architecture
We hope to expand our concentration areas in development for architecture and city planning We have recently redeveloped the undergraduate curriculum in building construction Now it can link to a MS program in civil engineering We also hope to develop a center for the visual arts within the architecture program enabling us to do much more in the way of service course offerings for other Tech students who are not in the College of Architecture
We also hope to become more active in continuing education and videodelivered education and to expand our research activity through the establishment of research centers We now have two such centers the Center for Rehabilitation Technology and the Center for Architectural Conservation We want to develop a Center for Planning and Development and a Center for Media Technology
We also intend to be more active in student recruitment
We now have 655 students in the college and we project enrollment increases if our plans for expanded services degree programs and research are implemented Well see an increase in the proportion of graduate students
In the development of teaching faculty our intention is to increase the proportion of faculty qualified to teach at the doctoral level
With respect to sponsored research we are pioneering new ground by the year 2000 we ought to increase the amount of research activity from the present level of about 125 million per year to at least 2 million
Dr William Sangster dean of the College of Engineering
Georgia Tech was number two in the country in 198283 in number of engineering bachelors degrees awarded to women second to Purdue Georgia Tech was sixth in the country in masters degrees in engineering awarded to women

Continued from Previous Page
Georgia Tech was fifth in the nation in bachelors degrees in engineering awarded to blacks in 198283 and 14th in the nation in masters degrees in engineering awarded to blacks in 198283
Student enrollment in the college has grown tremendously over the past few years but has leveled off recently because we have forced it to level off our instructional faculty has not increased at the same rate
State funding has increased very nicely However it has not kept up with inflation as reflected in Consumer Price Index increases
Sponsored research programs for the college have increased so that during fiscal year 1982 Georgia Tech was third in the country in engineering research and development programs
Where do we go from here
This is the planning process for the College of Engineering
The average age of laboratory equipment in the college is 106 years which is pretty old for equipment in todays technology Dr William
Songster
Faculty
We re proposing to add 35 new faculty members a year for the next five years at least At 83000 per year for each faculty members salary travel expenses supplies and support personnel thats 2905000 per year We also want to add 25 adjunct faculty per year which would not require any of our funding The college also plans to add five technician secretarial support persons per year
Facilities
The average age of laboratory equipment in the college is
106years which is pretty old for equipment in todays technology A onetime investment of roughly 10 million will get the average age down to about six years Once we get the average age down we have to put in more money every year to keep it at that level
Well need more money for equipment as we acquire new faculty members Well also need office and laboratory space
Program development
We want to increase the use of computers and micro
electronics and develop a computerintegrated manufacturing systems CIMS program We also want to introduce one new technology every year into the academic program and we want to expand our efforts in artificial intelligence and develop a stronger focus on materialsrelated research and instruction
We also want to
Increase faculty involvement in sponsored research to an average of 13 of their time
Increase graduate enrollment by 100 students per year Operations
Increase student exposure to regular faculty
Utilize new instructional techniques
Share equipment and equipment maintenance
Coordinate college computing facilities
Develop an efficient management information system
Resource Development
Increase unrestricted funding
Develop industryfunded cooperative research
Expand the volume of sponsored research by 10 per year
Increase graduate student involvement with established projects
Outreach
Increase visibility
Increase involvement in extension education
Initiate advisory committees
Focus resources
