Ga.Center bigger and better
Georgia Center for Continuing Education: The expanded
center is the largest center of its type in the world.
By Al DIXON
Staff Wnter
Thanks to two healthy grants,
the new and improved Georgia
Center for Continuing Education is
now offering expanded facilities
and programs.
The Center received an $8.4 mil
lion share of the University's W.K.
Kellogg grant and a another $6 5
million grant from the Georgia
Legislature, said Helen Mills, as
sistant director of the center.
Last week’s rededication
marked the official reopening of
the Georgia Center.
“We chose this time to rededi
cate the center because the im
provements made and programs
implemented with the money from
the grants are nearing comple
tion,” she said. “It will also give us
a moment to pause and reflect on
where we’ve been and rededicate
ourselves to the future."
The $6.5 million state grant was
used to add a 130,000 square foot
wing to the current building,
making it the largest university-
connected continuing education
center in the world, Mills said.
This addition includes several
new conference rooms, expanded
hotel facilities, additional office
space, an expanded banquet area
and the new 650-seat Mahler Audi
torium.
All of the facilities in the new
wing except the auditorium are
currently open for use.
The center’s $8.4 million share
of the Kellogg grant will be used to
fund several projects, Mills said.
Projects being funded include
the Continuing Professional Edu
cation program and the Certifiable
Curriculum Program, both aimed
at continuing adult education in
specific professional areas.
The funds from the Kellogg
grant were also used to make tech
nological improvements in the
center and fund the Personal Adult
Learning Lab, Mills said.
In addition, more advanced
equipment will be purchased for
WUGA/91.7, the Georgia Public
Radio affiliate which broadcasts
from the center.
‘The adult learning lab is de
signed to allow self-directing
learners to learn skills on their
own,” said Bradley Cahoon, public
service representative for the Per
sonal Adult Learning Center.
The laboratory space and equip
ment were funded by the Kellogg
grant, Cahoon said.
However, University students
don’t receive many benefits from
this lab. The lab is mainly used by
adults to learn or improve job
skills, he said.
Helen Mills also noted that stu
dents may not receive direct bene
fits from the programs and
facilities funded by the grants.
“But students do benefit from
the Academic Credit Program,
which is now housed in the new
wing,” she said.
The Academic Credit Program
operates the University’s evening
classes and the independent study
program.

Shoemaker said she wanted to
let the council know that students
would conduct themselves “matu
rely, responsibly and safely” if the
extension were to pass.
Immediately after Shoemaker
made these comments, a round of
snickers broke out in the room.
“I was appalled,” she said.
“When I get up to speak, I feel like
I deserve just as much respect as
anyone else.”
She said she wanted the public
and the council to know the longer
hours wouldn’t have a bad effect on
students by emphasizing some
SGA programs for students.
The “I’m Drivin’ ” program, in
which the designated driver of a
group can consume free non-alco
holic beverages while in a bar, was
enacted last spring. The program is
supported by a majority of the bars
in the area, Shoemaker said.
“I think students are mature
and can handle one more hour,”
she said. “I believe they can handle
the privilege and obey the laws.”

Departments get unique ‘homes’
Research programs expand
By ANGELA HORNSBY
Campus Correspondent
Due to an expanding research
program, some faculty members
of the College of Family and Con
sumer Sciences have moved out
of Dawson Hall and into “homes.”
Sharon Price, head of the De
partment of Child and Family
Development, said that the four
home management houses, lo
cated near the Georgia Center for
Continuing Education and the
McPhaul Clinic, are divided be
tween two departments: housing
and consumer economics and
child and family development.
‘The research programs grew
so fast, we had to have some
place to house the projects,” she
said.
The Department of Child and
Family Development has six pro
fessors and a secretary working
there, while the Department of
Housing and Consumer Eco
nomics has two professors, a sec
retary and a work-study student,
Price said.
Teresa Mauldin, assistant pro
fessor of housing and consumer
economics, now in her sixth year
working in the houses, said the
new location hasn’t been inconve
nient.
“It’s about a five-minute walk
from here to Dawson,” she said.
‘This has a nice atmosphere and
it’s quiet."
The offices, converted from
bedrooms, are medium-sized,
have hardwood floors and contain
desks, computers and bookcases.
Asked whether the move has
caused problems for students,
Mauldin said she has received no
complaints.
“If the students need to see me,
they know where I am,” she said.
Carol Meeks, head of the
housing and consumer economics
department, said the houses,
built 50 years ago by the Works
Progress Administration under
former President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, were originally de
signed for home economic stu
dents.
‘They had to function as a
household unit,” she said.
Students were graded on the
basis of class presentations, meal
planning ana learning how to
communicate in a group setting,
she said.
The houses were
originally designed for
home economic
students.
The program was discontinued
in the spring of 1986 because
"students’ needs and experiences
had changed,” Meeks said.
"Most students are now living
in apartments,” she said. "Also,
with the growth of the student
male population, we were con
cerned what to do about males
and females living in the house."
Price said the houses have
been occupied by faculty for ap
proximately 10 years.
Emily Pou, dean of the college,
said the faculty move hasn’t af
fected communication between
the two locations.
