attract new missions. The money is
used to fund research scholarhips
andinternships.
“Our aim is to create a well-bal
anced, diverse workforce at SRS,”
said Schwallie. “Given all the
workforce demographicchanges, it’s
importantforustoexploitthetalents
that are existent at a top school like
Paine,” he said. In addition to Paine,
South Carolina State College has
alsobeenawarded sloo,oooby WSRC.
Senator Walker, Georgia’s Senate
majority leader and Paine College
trustee, credited Schwallieand WSRC
for its continued commitment to the
Augusta-based institution. Lindsay
City / Region
said the grant encourages a “diverse
workforce of future scientists and
technologists.”
Upon receipt of the check, Dr.
Lewis told press members of her
appreciation for Westinghouse sup
port and that the college plans to
maintain a teamwork relationship
with site management. Although
overallsitemanagement duties were
relinquished by Westinghouse ear
lierthisyear, Schwalliesaid thesite’s
new owners, Morrison & Knudson,
are equally committed toward the
development of qualified employees
and will continue monetary assis
tance to colleges like Paine.
Uniform policy sparks demand

Even the more challenging
dresser won’t have problems
meeting the dress code.
“We specialize in hard to find
sizes such as chubby and husky,”
said Jeff Ruben, owner of Ruben’s
Department Store. i
He also said that Ruben’s has
added an extensive line of uni
forms featuring everything from
khaki pants to blazers.
Conventional wisdom dictates
that one thing to be careful of is
the quality of the merchandise.
What may seem like a bargain
or a better buy because of the
price may not prove to be so. Itis
important to check the washabil
ity of the garments as well as the
stitching. Though uniforms may
be a value according to the base
price, they can actually become
expensive if they are forced to be
purchased too often. ’
According to an Augusta Focus
survey, prices for uniforms range
from $6-sl3 for tops and SB-$22 for
bottoms for most retail stores. As
usual, discount stores such as Wal-
Mart and KMart have lower base
prices than larger department
stores such as Dillard’s, who plan
to sell their merchandise at an
“Everyday Value Price.” How
ever, independent stores such as
Ruben’s informed Augusta Focus
that their prices are very competi
tive. Be on the look out for brands
if price is a factor.
Some retailers do not carry
brands such as “Official School
Wear” or “Authentic School Uni
form.” Those brands are some
times substituted for higher priced
brands such as “Dockers,”
