Photo by Melvin Jackson 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 continued from PI 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. 8:00 a.m. Film Festival Office opens 9:00 a.m. Opening session 10:00-11:30 a.m. Premier Workshop - Soundtrack Film Festival office opens/Registration begins 9:00-10:30 a.m. Premier Workshop - Cinematography Panelist: Charles Mills Location - Research and Education Center 10:30 a.m.-l 1:55 a.m. Premier Workshop - Screenwriting Panetlist: Ken Sagoes Award and Black Tie Banquet Keynote Speaker: Bill Duke 8:00 a.m. Film Festival office Opens 9:00 a.m. Celebrity Breakfast Hosted by: Carol and Kenny Leon 11:30-12 Noon Lunch 1:00-2:30 p.m. Premier Workshop - Directing 2:45 p.m. Feature Film - “A Great Day In Harlem” 4:00 p.m. Feature Film - “Machineworks” 5:30 p.m. Feature Film - “Dearfield: The Road Less Traveled” 6:30-7:30 p.m. Reception - Exhibition Hall at Research and Education Center 8:00 p.m. Planet Hollywood Reception (Invitation Only) Location - Research and Education Center 12:00 -1:50 p.m. Luncheon Guest Speaker: Terrie Williams, Terrie Williams Agency Location: CAU Quad 2:00-3:30 p.m. Premier Workshop - Acting Panelists: Phylicia Rashad and John Amos Location - Research and Education Center 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. Screening of Short Films/Feature/ Documentary Attendees: Bill Duke, Terrie Williams, PhyliciaRashad, John Amos, Whitman Mayo, Regina Taylor, Emmanuel Lewis, CAU Film Festival ticket prices General Admission $75 CAU students w/valid I.D. $25 All other students $45 Genral admission to workshops General Admission $10 Student w/ valid I.D. $5 General admission to screenings General Admission $7 CAU Students w/valid I.D. $3 All other students $5 8:00 a.m. Location - Research and Education Center 8:00 -10:00 p.m. Indidvidual Event Tickets Black Tie Awards Banquet $50 Luncheon $15 Celebrity Breakfast $15 “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.
