College of Home Economics offers doctoral degree in textile sciences

The College of Home Economics
.rill offer a doctoral degree in tex
tile sciences this fall after 10 years
Pe
eg
will offer a doctoral degree in tex
tile sciences this fall after 10
of planning, said ThereBa Pere
nich, head of the department of
textiles.
The University System Board of
Regents approved the degree in
December on a recommendation
from University President Charles
Knapp. The University will accept
the program’s first candidates this
fall.
“First we wanted to get the ap
propriate faculty to have a compet
itive program,” Perenich said.
The University will be one of
only three other universities in the
Southeast to have similar pro
grams, joining the University of
Tennessee at Knoxville and the
University of North Carolina in
Greensboro.
"We've had a lot of inquiries
about the program,” Perenich said.
“I think our problem is going to
be in limiting enrollment," she
said.
Perenich said she’s stressing the
quality of the program and will ac
cept only three or four candidates
the first year.
The degree, which will take
three to six years to complete, will
consist of four major courses of
study: textile chemical processes,
textile products and standards,
textile physicB and textile analysis.
It will create three new courses
and add two new professors to the
faculty, she said.
Helen Epps, an associate pro
fessor in home economics who will
teach color theory, said the pro
gram has a great potential for
growth because there are so few
similar oneB.
The University’s program will
concentrate on end use instead of
production for manufacturing.
Perenich said “the applications
are basically for consumer prob
lems” such as textile and apparel
products performance, carpet-spot
ting and pesticide damage to tex
tiles.
'The texile industry has shifted
its interest. A smaller number of
large companies in the textile in
dustry are doing research." she
said. “However, a lot of smaller
companies see the need to have a
Ph.D. there.”
Crews try to stop spill as raw sewage pours into the Savannah River
The Associated Press
SAVANNAH, Ga. —* City crews
spent Tuesday repairing treatment
plant equipment in hopes of stop
ping a spill that sent millions of
gallons of raw sewage into the Sa
vannah River.
State environmental officials,
meanwhile, asked the National
Park Service to close the public
oystering grounds downstream at
Fort Pulaski until they can deter
mine whether the water has been
contaminated.
The state Department of Nat
ural Resources was concerned
about the oyster beds because
sewage spills can contaminate wa
terways with fecal coliform bac
teria, said DNR spokesman Gib
Johnston. He said the beds would
be closed “until we can find out
what’s going on."
A simultaneous malfunction of
both the primary and backup
C ips Sunday at Savannah’s Bee
d sewage treatment substation
caused the spill, city officials said.
Raw sewage then bypassed the sta
tion and went directly into the
Kayton Canal, which carried it to
the river.
The spill has been dumping 7
million gallons of raw sewage a day
into the river.
Crews were working Tuesday to
install a replacement steel shaft in
the primary pump to stop the spill,
said Ed Hagin, tne city’s facilities
maintenance director.
He said some “foreign materials”
apparently got into the system,
broke the primary pump’s shaft
and clogged the backup pump.
A team from the DNR’s Environ
mental Protection Division visited
the plant Monday. Hagin said he
did not expect the city to be fined in
the matter.
Hagin said it did not appear the
spill would result in fish kills, be
cause there is a high concentration
of dissolved oxygen in the wa
terway, leaving enough for fish to
breathe.
Had the spill occurred later in
the year, he said, the dissolved ox
ygen concentration would have
been lower and bacteria feeding on
the sewage would have depleted
the oxygen, causing fish to die.
Hagin said the spill likely would
not cause widespread health prob
lems, because the canal flows
through sparsely populated and in
dustrial areas.

The Associated Press
BUFORD, Ga. — Georgia prison
officials are considering a fourth
shock incarceration center for
young male offenders, to relieve a
backlog of about 100 inmates
waiting to get into the 90-day boot
camp-style programs.
Department of Corrections Com
missioner Bobby K. Whitworth
said he thinks another shock unit
is needed in north Georgia and his
department is considering con
verting the former Georgia
Training and Development Center
near Buford into a 100-bed shock
incarceration unit.
Whitworth said he has not given
final approval to the expansion.
But if he gives his OK, the number
of 9hock incarceration beds in
Georgia could increase to 650
sometime next year.
Georgia was the first state in the
nation to begin using the shock in
carceration concept, which in
volves treating inmates with the
same strictness U9ed in training
new military recruits.
Since Georgia began its first pro
gram in 1983, 14 other states have
copied it for use in their prisons,
according to corrections
spokesman Andy Bowen.
But the longer the young males
must wait, in state prisons for an
opening in the shock incarceration
program, the less effective the
shock program will be for them,
Bowen said.
“We need to have enough shock
incarceration centers in the state
where a judge can say to a young
guy in court, ‘Pack up your tooth
brush,’ and have the sheriff take
him to a center,” Bowen said.
Last year, 849 young offenders
were admitted to the program after
committing non-violent crimes, in
cluding car theft, burglary and
drug sales. Of these inmates, 40
percent violated their probation
and were returned to state custody.
Whitworth said the main advan
tage of the shock incarceration pro
gram is that a new group of
inmates is admitted every three
months, compared to the average
16-month stay for other state in
mates. Despite the relapse rate,
Whitworth said shock incarcera
tion programs are economical.
The soon-to-be-vacated Gwin
nett County facility had been
slated to be renovated into man
ufacturing plants for prison labor
as soon as 750 inmates move into
the $25 million Clyde N. Phillips
Correctional Institution on the
same 168-acre site this summer.
When Whitworth’s Dlanners
complete their study of the shock
incarceration proposal, the depart
ment’s budget writers will come up
with an annual operating cost for
the facility that could be sent to the
General Assembly for consider
ation next year. Bowen said the fa
cility would need 44 employees.
If approved, Whitworth said, the
facility could be operating in 12 to
18 months.

In Memory of:
Lin Hardin
Nov. 26, 1964 — Oct. 15, 1969
Lin Hardin had a flare for living. A fire of
energy burned inside of him, it flowed from
him, it permeated his entire being. Most
importantly, he loved to share it with others.
Those around him could 1 ht help but to feel his
life force. He loved the outdoors, from riding
his bike, to sailing, or even walking through the
woods. He took in what he saw and
experienced and applied it to his life. But yet
he would always return what he had taken in.
From showing others what he had found, to
keeping it in his memory and letting it come
out in his actions, Lin Hardin lived what he
believed in and believed in what he lived.
