Music therapy an up-and-coming field
By QARALYN HALL
Contributing Writer
There’* an up-and-coming field
of study for those whose interests
lie in music, psychology and educa
tion.
Music therapy, a program in the
music school, combines these disci
plines into an interesting and re
warding career opportunity.
David Smith, assistant professor
of music and undergraduate ad
viser to music therapy majors, said
music therapy is “the use of music
to help change behavior and phys
ical and emotional conditions.”
Music therapy can be used to
work with psychiatric patients and
the mentally handicapped.
This is a new field, with its roots
in the 1940s in Veterans Adminis
tration hospitals where health
practitioners found that soldiers
returning from World War II re
sponded positively to music.
Sherri Sizemore, a senior music
therapy m^jor and president of the
Music Therapy Club, said music
therapists work with psychiatric
patients to provide relaxation and
to help them express feelings they
may not be able to share verbally.
For instance, hostility is distin
guishable from docility by the way
a person beats a drum or strums a
guitar.
Centers for the mentally hand
icapped use songs, many written
by the therapists themselves, to
teach people things like safety
rules and basic skills with which
most of us are bom, Smith said.
Debbie Klein, a sophomore
music therapy major and treasurer
of the Music Therapy Club, said
she plans to pursue a career in the
field.
“I’ve always wanted to do some
thing with music,” she said. “I also
wanted to help people through
counseling and special education.”
Klein has worked in a nursing
home where music was used to mo
tivate the residents to participate
in social activities.
Music therapy majors have ba
sically the same requirements as
music education majors including
biology and psychology classes and
specialization of an instrument or
voice.
University students fulfill this
requirement at the Georgia Retar
dation Center on College Station
Road.
In addition, after graduation
students must intern for six
months to become registered music
therapists.
Sizemore said that in working
with the mentally handicapped,
therapists firBt must make an as
sessment to determine what level
of functioning the client is on and
then create an individual plan
based on needs.
The music therapy program
started at the University in 1968.
Currently there are 25 undergrad
uates and 5 masters students en
rolled.
Smith said income opportunities
in music therapy are similar to
those in education. Beginning at
around $18,000 per year, salaries
increase in large metropolitan
areas.
Student falls 60 ft. from Ga. mountain
A University sophomore and
member of Tau Epsilon Phi frater
nity was listed in serious condition
Thursday afternoon at the North
east Georgia Medical Center in
Gainesville after falling about 60
feet from Mt. Yonah in Cleveland,
Ga., Wednesday afternoon, hos
pital officials said.
Joey Hirsch, a 20-year-old pre
journalism major, injured one of
his lungs, broke both legs, received
a hairline fracture to his skull and
cuts and bruises, fraternity
member Laurence Rosen said.
Rosen had planned to climb Mt.
Yonah with Hirsch and was with
him at the time of the fall.
Hirsch apparently slipped as he
was trying to set up a safety rope
for climbing the mountain at about
3 p.m. Wednesday. He had reached
the top of the mountain by an alter
nate route to secure the rope before
the climb, Rosen said.
White County Emergency Med-
Hirsch apparently
slipped as he was
trying to set up a safety
rope for climbing the
mountain at about 3
p.m. Wednesday
ical Services transported Hirsch to
the Northeast Georgia Medical
Center where he was admitted
about 7 p.m., Rosen said.
Rosen was told by White County
emergency workers that Hirsch
could be in traction for up to six
weeks.
Hirsch has been rock-climbing
for several years and teaches rock-
climbing at a summer camp.

“If you take the time to look
carefully at the expenses you’ll see
that the money has to be spent,” he
said.
The foundation entertainment ex
penses included more than $17,000
in food and refreshments provided
to guests at Knapp’s home before
football games and in the presi
dent’s sky box during the games.
Nik Edes, vice president for De
velopment and University Rela
tions, said football Saturdays
traditionally have been occasions
for the University to entertain pro
spective donors and faculty as well
as special guests.
In the past few years, the Devel
opment and Relations office has
given the University’s colleges and
schools opportunities to use the
sky box, Edes said. Each home
game weekend, two deans invite 25
guests each to the sky box. The
deans take turns using the box.
Additionally, members of the
President’s Club are invited to the
sky box during games. To be in the
President’s Club, the University’s
highest level of donor recognition,
one must give a minimum of
$10,000.
About $12,300 of the entertain
ment expenses went toward foot
ball and basketball tickets.
According to receipt vouchers, the
tickets were distributed to a va
riety of individuals ranging from
School of Forestry alumni for the
homecoming game to visiting state
legislators.
Not all the tickets were pur
chased by the Development and
Relations offices. As in the case of

the forestry alumni, about $2,400
worth of tickets were purchased
from restricted accounts.
Restricted accounts are funds
earmarked for a specific use by the
donor. There are more than 1,600
restricted accounts.
Alumni Relations Director
David Muia said some of the
tickets were used for special events
such as “UGA Night with the At
lanta Hawks.” This was a large
promotion at a Hawks game in
volving the Hawks, the City of

Unrestricted funds are divided
into several discretionary accounts
which are budgeted by the founda
tion board of trustees. They are di
vided among three categories:
general development and relations
funds, vice presidents’ and deans’
discretionary funds and academic
support funds.
In fiscal 1989, unrestricted
funds accounted for about $198,-
600 of the entertainment expenses.
General development and relations
accounts’ entertainment expenses
totaled about $120,400; academic
support accounts’ entertainment
expenses totaled about $42,400;
and vice presidents’ and deans’ dis
cretionary accounts’ entertainment
expenses totaled about $35,800.
Each of the University’s deans,
vice presidents and mcyor division
heads has access to a discretionary
account. Knapp has access to two
discretionary accounts: one re
stricted and one unrestricted.
According to the receipts, in
fiscal 1989, Knapp’s discretionary
accounts totaled about $24,600 in

entertainment expenses.
These expenses included: recep
tions honoring Louise McBee, re
tired vice president for Academic
Affairs, as well as receptions for
minority faculty, new students and
graduating seniors. The expenses
also included lunch and dinner
meetings with prominent alumni,
prospective donors, University ad
ministrators and officials from
other universities.
Knapp’s discretionary funds
were used to buy University bas
ketball tickets for state legislators,
refreshments for Knapp’s pre-foot
ball game receptions and coffee for
the his office at Lustrat House.
When Knapp traveled to Cor
tona, Italy to look at the Univer
sity’s Studies Abroad Program
there, he took his family with him.
The foundation picked up the tab
for his wife Lynne, a standard
practice because state funds can’t
be applied to spouses of state em
ployees.
When deans or other University
officials travel on Univesity busi
ness for extended periods, the
foundation subsidizes the cost of
their spouses’ expenses. However,
Knapp paid for his daughter,
Amanda, to make the Cortona trip.
Edes also has access to two dis
cretionary accounts, one in the
general development and relations
funds and one vice president for
Development and University Rela
tions discretionary account. These
accounts totaled about $3,500 in
entertainment expenses.
Included in these expenses were
lunch and dinner meetings with
his staff, capital campaign consul
tants, foundation trustees and pro-
spective donors. Edes’
discretionary account also was
used to pay for a legislative
seminar on University equipment
needs which cost about $900.
