Knapp agreed that the Univer
sity hasn’t been competitive with
other institutions in its fund
raising efforts.
“Clearly if you look at this Uni
versity and what we do relative to
Georgia Tech, the University of
Wisconsin, the University of Mich-
*£ an » (University of California at)
Berkeley and places like that, our
numbers aren’t at their levels," he
said.
The CFAE figures verify
Knapp’s statement. During the
past 10-year period, the Univer
sity’s fund-raising efforts increased
105 percent.
In comparison:
• The national average for vol
untary support to publicly funded
higher education increased 154
percent.
• Georgia Institute of Technol
ogy’s increased 1,089 percent.
• The University of Alabama’s
increased 495 percent.
• The University of North Caro
lina at Chapel Hill increased fund
raising 330 percent.
• The University of Florida
showed a 219 percent increase.
• The University of Tennessee
increased 185 percent.
Miller said these schools are
comparable to the University be
cause they are in the same geo
graphic region, are land-grant
public institutions and have sim
ilar funding and enrollment.
Miller also said the University
falls well below the national av
erage for donations per living
alumnus.
The $20.6 million in cash dona
tions received by the University in
fiscal year 1989 amounted to an av
erage of $138 per living alumnus.
The national average for public
institutions was $251 per living
alumnus, Miller said. The national
average for private institutions
was $577.
Nik Edes, University vice presi
dent for Development and Univer
sity Relations, is responsible for
the University’s fund raising. His
offices work with the University of
Georgia Foundation, a non-profit
organization which administers
gifts to the University.
Edes, too, said it was unfair to
judge his office by the CFAE fig
ures because he had only been at
the University since September
1987, when he was appointed by

Knapp, and the five-year figure in
1992 will F ro P er ly measure his
success or failure.
His division is making signifi
cant changes, he said, and is trying
to improve fund-raising efforts.
“I need to be held accountable,
es,” Edes said, “but for the things
have done and what’s happened
while I’ve been here.
“In the short time I’ve been here,
we’ve made tremendous advance
ments, and I feel good about what
we’ve done," he said.
“I would like more cash and
more pledged money, what I call
net new giving,” he said. ‘That’s
my measure, and we did real well
last year.”
The University’s fund-raising
performance last year compared to
fiscal 1988 was a mix of good and
bad. According to the University’s
annual giving report for fiscal
1989, “net new giving" increased
13 percent from $20.1 to $22.8 mil
lion; the unrestricted gifls topped
the $1 million mark for the first
time; gifls to the Georgia Student
Education Fund increased about
$150,000 and the number of donors
increased 18 percent.
However, the gifls to the Univer
sity of Georgia Foundation fell 31
percent, from $9.7 to $6.7 million;
the average donation per living
alumnus fell 5 percent, from $145
to $138, and actual cash received
fell 5 percent, from $21.7 to $20.6
million.
“We made an important devel
opment last year," Edes said. “We
turned a comer. Since 1985 the
donor base (was going down), and
we turned that around.
‘The number of donors was de
creasing,” he said, “and the
number of alumni was increasing.
To me, that was unacceptable.
“In order to get people to give
more," Edes said, “you have to get
them to give in the first place.”
Both Knapp and Edes pointed to
the University’s Third Century
Capital Campaign and fiscal year
1990 fund-raising figures as indi
cators of things to come. A capital
campaign is a concentrated effort
to raise money for educational sup
port other than scholarships, such
as buildings.

Get award-winning wings at Pits & Pasta
Smokin’ Pits & Pasta owner Chuck Gegenheimer (right) and manager Steve Brown (left) offer students IS

it up, with the law being 21, it’s
our success,” Edes said, “will be
our capital campaign."
In May 1987, Knapp appointed
H. Perk Robins, then vice presi
dent for Development and Univer
sity Relations, to head a projected
five-year $200 million ‘Third Cen
tury Capital Campaign.” However,
the Jan. 7 edition of the Athens
Banner/Herald reported that the
Third Century Campaign projec
tions had been cut in half to a five-
year $100 million plan.
Public Information Director Tom
Jackson said the report was a mis
understanding and that the $100
million figure was the minimum of
the range being considered.
Edes said no concrete figures
have been set for the campaign,
which began 2 1/2 years ago. His
office and Knapp are reviewing re
ports from consultants and will
submit a report to the Foundation
Board of Trustees in May.
Projections for the campaign’s
fund-raising target are between
$100 and $200 million, Edes said.
The report to the trustees will in
clude a formal target amount.
The Foundation hires consul
tants to study the feasibility of the
campaign and recommend cam
paign goals. It is on these recom
mendations that administrators
base the final target of the cam
paign.
The report of Knapp’s adjust
ments to campaign projections
have caused many people asso
ciated with the University to ques
tion the merit of the campaign.
Since the University already raises
over $20 million dollars each year,
then $100 million over five-years is
no increase.
All things considered, both
Knapp and Edes are optimistic
about this year’s fund raising and
the future.
“I believe we are now headed in
a direction to improve, where we
can start to compete,” Knapp said.
“But time will tell, and I realize
we’re going to have to show results.
“I think cash is going to be up
sharply this year,” he said. “That’s
my prediction.”
Edes said, “In the next couple of
years we’re going to see successes
that will knock people’s socks off.”
BILL
From page 1
cilities, the hill read.
Any organization that violates
this ruling would be given a 10-day
advance notice in writing before
expulsion from the University,
according to the draft.
Once notified of the violation,
the student organization could re-
1 quest a hearing to be held within
30 days by a faculty hearing com
mittee devised by the Board of Re
gents.
Tyler Smith , Lambda Chi Alpha
president, said,“It sounds similar
to rules now.”
But Smith said he thought the
bill was vague, because in certain
circumstances it would be hard to
distinguish whether those in
charge of a function were con
doning underage drinking.
Max Muse, Sigma Phi Epsilon
president, said, “We would have no
choice but to abide.
“I’m sure they have proof to back
within their power,” Muse said. “I
would like to see how strictly
they’d enforce it.”
Tom Greene, Interfraternity
Council president, said he would
have to see the proposed legislation
in writing before he could comment
on the matter.
