Sanford donates over $1 million for new business center
The University's business school received a gift of over $1 million for
construction of the new business student center. Charles Sanford, a
1968 University graduate and currently a New York banker, donated
the money Wednesday. Sanford’s grandfather, Steadman Sanford, was
University president from 1932 to 1935 and Sanford Stadium is named
after him. His gift is the single largest contribution to the business
school’s goal of $5 million for a new instructional building. The student
center includes eight to 10 classrooms, advising offices, an auditorium
and student lounge, and will be built on North Campus near Brooks
and Caldwell halls. “Charlie Sanford’s dedication to the University as a
trustee...is exemplary," said University President Charles Knapp. “He
continues his family's long-standing record of service to this University
that began four generations ago." Albert Niemi, dean of the Terry
College of Business, said the University has currently raised about $3
million for the center. “We still have a major fund-raising goal ahead,
but it is exciting to be this far along." - Lori Wiechman

Report of bomb
empties Aderhold
University associate professor Thomas Reeves had a surprise
when he returned to his office at Aderhold Hall Wednesday after
noon.
The employee parking lot, which is usually full, was practically
deserted.
“I got back at about 1 p.m. and the parkinag lot was almost
empty," Reeves said. “I wondered what the heck was going on."
Aderhold Hall was evacuated shortly before noon after the
College of Education received two calls claiming a bomb was in the
building.
Employees who took the calls, one at 11 a.m. and another at
11:30 a.m., reported the caller was female, said Walt Britton, busi
ness manager of the College of Education.
Because the calls were taken by different employees, Britton
said there was no way of determining whether they were made by
the same individual.
University police searched the building room by room until 1:45
p.m., but they were unable to find any device, said Lt. Jeffrey
Whitfield, public information officer for University Police.
Signs on the doors told students that the building was closed
until 2 p.m.
“The parking lot was almost deserted, so employees just went
away," Britton said. “It was kind of like a two-hour lunch."
Brenda Davis, an administrative secretary in the college, said
she arrived back at the building at 2:15 p.m. and many people had
already re-entered.
“All the offices had been locked and taped to show they had
been checked," Davis said.
Whitfield said bomb threats are rare at the University, only av
eraging about one or two a year.

Response to raise ‘lukewarm’
By MELANIE THOMAS
Staff Writer
Governor Zell Miller’s budget
passed through the state House
Appropriations Committee, ap
proving most of the University’s
agenda, including the 2 percent
pay raise for University employ
ees effective July 1.
However, the University com
munity offered a lukewarm re
sponse to the pay raises.
University President Charles
Knapp said he is pleased with
what the legislature has decided,
but the small pay raises were a
letdown.
“The 2 percent is a disappoint
ment from all of our standpoint,"
Knapp said in a press conference
Wednesday. “Our salary situation
is at a point where we have to be
willing to sacrifice something on
the program side or the instruc
tional side in order to begin to
move against the salary crisis at
the University both at the faculty
and the stafTlevel."
Knapp said he asked the chan
cellor of the Board of Regents for
flexibility in the operating budget
so that pay raises may be in
creased.
Using flexibility in the operat
ing budget would entail redis
tributing extra money to compen
sate for low employee salaries.
“That’s not an easy decision
because when you wither operat
ing funds into salaries, your abili
ty to meet the program needs or
classroom needs at the
University are subsequently re
duced,” Knapp said. “I cannot tell
you how much more flexibility
well have or, if we have the flexi
bility, whether we’ll have suffi
cient funds to do anything signifi
cant in terms of increasing that 2
percent."
The new increase does not ful
fill the Regents’ goal of remaining
in the top quartile of the region,
which would require increases of
about 10 percent for faculty and
about 20 percent for staff, Knapp
said.
The University ranks ninth in
the 15-state region, a drop from
second place 10 years ago.
Terry Russell, a member of the
Staff Council, said the Council
sent a letter pleading the case of
University staff.
“I was hoping he would bump
it up a little higher because the
cost of living will be higher than
that," he said.
Tom Jackson, director of pub
lic relations, said the University
agenda concerning budget items,
pay raises and capital projects
will remain the same.
The University received the
funding for capital construction
projects such as the
Comprehensive Agricultural
Livestock and Poultry Complex
and a Biocontainment Research
Center.
The committee rearranged
some of the funding for Miller’s
lottery project, which would spon
sor educational programs such as
the HOPE project. The committee
cut $2.9 million from college
scholarship funding from the lot
tery program.
Other legislative items the
University supported, such as the
Georgia Research Alliance and
the University Coastal Plains
Experiment station in Tifton,
were approved with few alter
ations, Jackson said.
“But we’re not to the last chap
ter yet," Jackson said.
