Editor’s Note: This is the
second in a series about

as University President.

The Red & Black
In University President
Michael Adams’ decade at
the University, he has “put
his personal mark” on cam
pus construction, accord
ing to Danny Sniff, the
associate vice president for
facilities planning.
Before Adams assumed
his post in 1997, University
officials adopted the physi
cal master plan in 1996,
which was designed to
“create the optimal stu
dent environment,” Sniff
said.
When Adams took over,
he “doggedly adhered to
the master plan,” and
emphasized the impor
tance of high-quality build
ings, he said.

Ag Hill Council unites organizations,

SGA is not the only
organization representing
the University’s students.
Another student repre
sentative body, the Ag Hill
Council, regularly meets
with the goal of
aiding South Campus stu
dents.
Since the 19405, clubs
from the College of
Agricultural and
Environmental Sciences,
the Warnell School of
Forestry and Natural
Resources and the College
of Family and Consumer
Sciences have sent repre
sentatives to the Ag Hill
Council.

ed in Athens-Clarke County
on Friday and Saturday,
18 were University stu

Adams arrived at the
University, “he put his per
sonal mark on it,” by mak
ing a key decision about
the size of the center, Sniff
said.
Adams allowed the
architects to eliminate
25,000 square feet from the
SLC’s plans in order to cre
ate a higher quality build
ing.
Sniff said Adams’ deci
sion was important because
it allowed for “a tremen
dous amount of quality,”
and no one had cut the
square footage of construc
tion projects before. In
place of the additional
space, the architects were
able to afford better mate
rials and put all classroom
seats in the line of sight of
the professors.
Tom Jackson, the asso
ciate vice president for
public affairs, commented
on the impact the SLC has
had on the campus.
“Before the SLC, the
largest building for classes
was the Journalism build
Campus,” said Brandon
Harrelson, a senior from
Baconton.
“The Ag Hill Council
was created to bring South
Campus clubs together to
discuss different events for
each individual organiza
tion and to allocate funds
to these clubs,” Harrelson
said.
The council is led by the
president, Harrelson, and a
vice president from each of
the three represented
schools.
“The Ag Hill Council has
a rich history as the repre
sentative body for South
Campus students,” said
Jonathan Lee, a junior from
Macon and the Warnell
vice-president.
Lee said it allows
Forestry students to know
it is a sign to them both of
our quality and that the
state owns us. They cer
tainly enjoy it.”
Most of the University’s
top administrative brass
came out to the, event,
including Vice President
for Instruction Jere W.
Morehead, Vice President
of Public Affairs Tom
Jackson and, of course,
Hairy Dawg.
Saturday afternoon.
Two students were
arrested for traffic viola
tions, and one was charged
with battery.
Four students reported
damage to their vehicles,
and two students reported
thefts by Sunday morning.
Among those arrested
Saturday night who were
not University students,
two were charged with
fighting in a pub and one
was charged with clinging
to vehicles.
Adams’ 10 th Anniversary
ing,” Jackson said. “It’s
provided a central location
and become almost a qua
si-student center.”
Jillian Farr, a sophomore
from Marietta, echoed
these statements.
“With the classrooms
and study rooms, the
SLC has a special factor
that I don’t see in the other
buildings on campus,” she
said.
Working with Adams on
the SLC was important for
the University architects,
because it “showed every
body Michael Adams’ dedi
cation to quality,” Sniff
said. “Because we obvious
ly want to build quality
buildings, the president’s
support of quality makes
our job easier.”
Sniff said Adams plays a
significant role in campus
construction choices.
“Nothing gets done
without the president’s
personal input,” Sniff said.
“The old president, Chuck
Knapp, hardly ever got
involved, but Dr. Adams
what is going on in the
other South Campus clubs
and in Warnell.
“We all try to support
each other,” said Anna
Daniel, a senior from
Jackson and the vice-presi
dent representing the
College of Agricultural
and Environmental
Sciences.
The money Ag Hill dis
tributes comes directly
from the office of student
affairs, Lee said.
Harrelson said alloca
tion of money depends on
Ag Hill attendance and
club size.
The council holds meet
ings twice a month in the
conference room of Four
Towers. The next meeting
will be Wednesday,
September 19.

sees buildings as being
integral for the academic
mission.”
Sniff said one of the key
components of the master
plan was the idea of green
space.
“We used to have pocket
parking lots, and now we
have pocket gardens,” Sniff
said.
For example, Sniff said,
Herty Field was a parking
lot, and the master plan
turned it into a green
space.
Jackson said the green
space has been a priority,
because “we want to have
an academic community
with people living and
studying on campus.”

One of Adams’ key con
struction projects was the
Coverdell Center, a multi
discipline research labora
tory building.
Sniff said a project such
as the Coverdell Center
would typically take 10
years, but because of
Adams’ involvement in
fundraising and planning it
only took three.
The plan to move the
Lumpkin Street fraterni
ties to River Road has been
one of the more controver
sial building plans.
“The institution made a
difficult decision, because
Greek life is very important
to our campus,” Sniff said.
