Univ. employees pledge to charities
$280,000 raised in campaign
By GAYL BARRETT
Staff Writer
University employees pledged
more than $280,000 in the Univer
sity of Georgia’s Campaign for
Charities, according to Budget Di
rector Robert Bugbee.
More than 700 organizations
participated in the charity drive
that ran from Oct. 12 through Nov.
30, Bugbee said.
Out of these, the local United
Way received the greatest contri
bution — an estimated $173,000 —
Bugbee said. The American Cancer
Society was given $17,500, and the
American Heart Association re
ceived $11,500.
In previous years, each organi
zation offered their own fund drive
at different times of the year.
Questionable payroll deductions
inspired a new state law that al
lowed for only one joint campaign
to be made a year, Bugbee said.
Though many organizations saw
this as an easier way to reach Uni
versity employees, some saw it ns a
problem.
Rubielen Norris, the executive
director of the local United Way,
said, ‘Though I’m very pleased
with such a positive turnout, I’m
disappointed that we didn’t come

to our goal.”
The local United Way’s goal was
$200,000, Norris said.
“With all organizations acting in
competition, it was harder to get a
focused attention,” she said.
Other agencies that received
pledges of $2,000 or more include
the United Negro College Fund,
$5,000; the Georgia Council on
Child Abuse, $4,300; Scottish Rite*
Children’s Hospital, $3,700; the
American Diabetes Association,
$4,200; and the Georgia Special
Olympics, $2,500.

Greek GPAs released,
service hours increase
The University’s sororitv
grade point average is above all
women student’s grade point av
erage for fall quarter, Ron
Binder, adviser to fraternities,
said.
The all-fraternity grade point
average was equal to the av
erage for all male students,
Binder said.
The all-sorority average GPA
for fall quarter was 2.77, while
the all-women’s average was
2.70. The Greek men’s average
was equal to the all campus
men’s average at 2.55, he said.
Greek community service
hours rose with scholarship fall
quarter, he said. Fraternities
worked a total of 5,400 commu
nity service hours during the
quarter, compared with 8,000 in
all of the 1988-89 school year.
Tom Greene, Interfraternity
Council president, said, “I’d say
it’s an example of the efforts
that the IFC and the Panhel-
lenic Council are partaking to
improve scholarship and the
overall image of the Greek
system.”
Binder said the number of
Greek social events during fall
quarter also increased in com
parison to last fall by approxi
mately 20 percent.
