According to memos
sent to alumni, one of the
goals of the anniversary
this year was to reach at
least 450 alumni to attend
the Alumni Weekend
Workshops and celebra
tion Oct.7. The anniver
sary celebrations were
also intended to raise at
least $ 150,000 to contrib
ute to the rebuilding of
Quarles-Washing ton
Hall.
“The School of Social
Work is hoping to gener
ate from the celebration a
significant amount of
funds to be used to re
build Quarles-Washing-
ton Hall,” Dr. Lyle said.
The event, costing $75
per person, kicked-off with registration
and a cash bar, Oct.6. The following day
consisted of a dialogue with the dean, the
steering committee and CAU's President
Dr. Thomas W. Cole Jr.
The dialogue, an outlined report on the
status and progress of the School of Social
Work, suggested ways in which alumni
can continue to help rebuild the school and
gave an overall status of CAU.
A series of workshops and a banquet
program, which concluded with a presen
tation of School of Social Work awards,
was also a part of the series of events.
“1 think it (anniversary celebration) will
be very helpful to help rebuild the social
work building,” said Marquita Chatman, a
School of Social Work student who said
she is saddened by the sight of Quarles-
Washington Hall.
“There’s a lot of memories in the build
ing... It means a lot to the students and
faculty and other professors who taught
there in the past.”
Founded in 1920, the school is the old
est historically black School of Social
Work in the country. Currently, the school
has academic programs for BSW, MSW
and Ph.D., with an enrollment of over 200
students.
Parking

had signed the petition by Sept. 28. A letter
to university President Dr. Thomas W. Cole
Jr. accompanied the signatures. The letter
asked Dr. Cole to inform the Public Safety
Department in writing that the parking lot
between Fair and Parsons Streets is only for
faculty and staff members.
“In addition, we request that any new
policies (e.g.. fees) regarding parking be
deferred until: (1) the parking structure is in
place, and (2) faculty and staff have pro
vided proper input and resolutions regard
ing parking,” the letter said.
Student Government Association Presi
dent Samuel Bell Jr. supports the increased
parking fares. Bell said CAU faculty, staff
and students must be prepared to give finan
cial support to the university so that it can
grow.
“We want to expand,” Bell said. “We
want to compete with ‘white
universities’ ...We want all the new, modem
things, but we don’t want to pay for it.”
Bell said a proper parking facility was in
popular demand for a long time. Now that
the school has provided the parking deck, he
said, parking charges must be increased to
cover the expense of building it.
Parking in the new complex or campus
lots will cost faculty and staff $360 per year.
The charge for reserved parking spots will
be $480 per year. Students will have to pay
$60 for parking instead of the current $15.
Bell said the prices are still cheaper than
many other Atlanta institutions, including
Spelman College and Georgia Institute of
Technology.

“They (Georgia Tech professors) pay
between $600 and $1000...” he said. “We
want nice things, but we don’t want to pay
for them.”
Bell said he understands the frustration of
people who have to increase their parking
expenses. However, he believed everyone
should be willing to pay the increase be
cause the school is investing in a multi
million dollar service for faculty, staff and
students.
“I’m not making excuses for the univer
sity, I’m understanding what the university’s
position is,” Bell said. “We want it to grow.
We have got to pay for it if we want it to
grow.”
Bell said the parking charges are still
tentative. He said it is possible the univer
sity will change the charges before the park
ing deck opens.
