$1 million gift to fund scholarships
A $1 million endowment to
UWG marks the largest gift in the
institution’s history and perpetual
support for a traditionally
underfunded program.
The Antonio J. Waring Jr.
Scholarship Fund, established by
his widow, Henrietta C. Waring,
will provide scholarships for ar
chaeology students mid serve as a
resource base for other projects to
promote the field, according to
Susan Mabry, executive director
of the West Georgia Foundation.
UWG’s archaeology lab,
named in honor of Waring some
years ago, received another gift
from the Waring family last spring.
That gift, a charitable reminder
trust, will generate about $200,000
for academic, capital and other
needs for the lab.
Waring, a Savannah pediatri
cian, was a passionate “amateur”
archaeologist who was highly re
spected by professionals and con
sidered the archaeological author
ity of coastal Georgia, said Dr.
Lewis H. Larson Jr., UWG profes
sor and state archaeologist.

Honors Council wins all
in UWG College Bowl

Every ear was open and every
eye concentrated on the lips of the
moderator as questions were fired
and minds were searched for
answers.
This was the scene of the
College Bowl competition held last
week where the Honors Council
prevailed as winners.
Team members for the Honors
Council included Roger Huffstetler,
Steffanie Brown, Paula Whitten, and
Vance Byrd.
The Honors Council was
victorious over the Baptist Student
Union, Student Government,
History Club, and Alpha Kappa Psi.
The teams competed in a round robin
tournament of questions. Each team
fought to win the 10 point toss- up
questions to get the chance to win
the bonus question worth up to 30
points.
Questions came from such
topics as astronomy, English,
showtunes, history, television
programs, and the Bible.
“The College Bowl is a
nationally organized, academic
team competition - the varsity sport
of the mind,” said Craig Meyer,
president of the Honors Council
and tournament director.
/ An all-star team was selected
to represent UWG at a regional
College Bowl held at the University
of South Florida on Feb. 14-16.
All-star team members are
Steffanie Brown, Roger
Huffstetler, Chris Page, Tamara
Dodson and Chris McKinney. The
team’s coach is Dr. Elaine
McClarnard, UWG assistant
professor of history.
“An all-star team gives more
depth in various topics like history,
math, and literature,” said Linda
Picklesimer, moderator for the
competition.
The College Bowl was
sponsored by the Honors Council.
