University Os Georgia Assuming
Role As National Institution
ATHENS—The University of
Georgia is moving rapidly into the
role of a national institution, ac
cording to Pres. O. C. Aderhold.
“This should come as no sur
prise to those familiar with its
long history and its recent ac
hievement,” he writes in the 1966
annual report of the nation’s old
est chartered state university.
The report, which is now being
distributed is devoted almost en
tirely to recent achievement with
emphasis on explosive and al
most vertical growth at the gra
duate and professional level—a
growth with national impli
cations.

dents are drawn mostly from

Georgia”, President Aderhold
writes, “professional and grad
uate students are being drawn
from many of the nation’s most
distinguished colleges and uni
versities.” He also reports that
faculty members are coming
“from posts of distinction” ac
ross the nation.
The role of a national insti
tution is also indicated by the
visiting scholars who come with
regularity to the campus and by
similar visits of the University’s
own faculty "who are serving as
experts and consultants from
coast to coast and across the
oceans.”
This interchange is considered
especially significant for the Uni
versity as one of the older and
better-known — although one of
the smaller — landgrant instit
utions. Its leadership in the
century-old land - grant move
ment to serve not only through
instruction, but through research
and service as well, is illustra
ted by the fact that one-fourth
of the key offices of the National
Association of State Universities
and Land-Grant Colleges are held
by University staff members.
But the emergence of the Uni
versity on the national scene,
President Aderhold says, “has
come during a period made diffi
cult by increasing enrollments
and spirited competition for re
sources.”
President Aderhold, who is
making his 15th annual report
to the people of Georgia, says
INFORMA TION ABOUT
that in 1951 "there was an un
mistakable stirring among the
people of Georgia precluding any
thing but commitment to the fu
ture, and unmistakable evidence
that Georgians were depending
upon education at all levels to
help them move Into the future.”
“The time had come,” he says
of the immediate post - World
War n years, “when a decision
had to be made: commitment to
the future, a course difficult
and costly; or subjection to the
past, with its ultimate disillusion
and deterioration.”
The University now has a cam
pus enrollment of almost 15,000
and a plant valuation of SIOO
million, and President Ader
hold’s report documents in detail
the recent growth at the true
“university” level -- that of
graduate and professional study
and research. Samples include:
.Ten years age the Univer
sity awarded 1486 degrees, 8 of
them at the doctoral level; In
1966 It awarded 3188 degrees,
113 at the doctoral level.
.Ten years ago 41 per cent
of the instructional faculty held
doctoral degrees; today this fi
gure is 65 per cent.
.The University’s research
budget is in excess of sls mil
lion, and during 1966, 650 fac
ulty members and 155 graduate
students were engaged in 800
research projects.
.Several departments are cited
for their “outstanding national
records” in the area of publica
tion, including biochemistry,
bacteriology and microbiology,
chemistry, mathematics, zoo
logy, English and history.
.The report also cites ano
ther valid measure of the Uni
versity’s growing prestige in re
search: There are almost 40
post-doctoral students on cam
pus.
"The past year”, President
Aderhold concludes, “has brought
heartening Indications of pro
gress toward the University’s
goals to teach, to push back the
frontiers of knowledge, and to
extend the fruits of knowledge
to all within Georgia who can
use them.”
As we being a new year with a
new governor and with a new
challenge, let us not be diver
ted by unworthy things. Let us
set high goals and strive to ac
hieve them.
This year can bring us new
successes or new failures. It
is completely up to us. We must
all work hard together for a
common purpose. What is this
purpose? Maybe it is peace, or
maybe it is happiness. Whatever
it is, it has to come from us
through the goals we have set.
The higher our goals the clo
ser we come to our purpose in
life.
We, the students at Newton
County High School, have set
high goals for this year and are
now striving for their achieve
ment. We feel that by setting
high goals we will have a better
chance of accomplishing them.
We want the best for our high

The Story Os A Streak
By Darrell Lee Huckaby
A funny thing happened on a
December night of 1959. The
Newton County Rams lost a bas
ketball game at home. The Bald
win Braves did it, 54-52.
Apparently Newton coach, Ron
ald Bradley, still hasn’t gotten
over being mad about the game,
because through these seven
years his teams haven’t lost
another game at home.
Over this span of time Brad
ley’s boys have rolled up an in
credible string of 119 consecut
ive home court victories. Dur
ing this time the Rams have tak
en on all types of competitors.
They have played class C, B,
and A teams, along with the num
erous AA and AAA powers they
have faced. They have played
teams from Alabama and Tenn
essee, tall teams and short
teams, but none have been too
great for the Rams.
Through these seven years
there have been many close gam
es. Last season the Rams pull
ed out one-point victories over
Hart County and Athens High.
But probably the closest Newton
has come to losing was against
Rule High of Knoxfille, Tenn
essee. With less than ten sec
onds to play the Rams and Rule
were tied and Rule High had the
ball. A Newton guard tied up
the ball and the Rams scored
on the tip-off to keep their win-

school, and we’re willing to stri
ve for the best.
So it should be, not only in the
school, but in our community and
in our state. We should accept
the challenge of this new year
and strive to make it the best.
Only through hard and energetic
work, can this year be made into
a successful one. This year has
promises for our high school
and our community. Let us take
advantage of the opportunity that
this new year has to offer.

ning streak alive.
Probably the greatest win for
the charges of Coach Ronald
Bradley was last year’s victory
over AAA power Griffin. The
Rams had dropped a decision to
the War Eagles earlier in the
season, but Bradley poured it
on and the Rams came out on
the heavy end of the score, SO
-56.
Again Saturday night (Jan. 28)
the Rams will face a powerful
Griffin five, and again similar
circumstances will prevail. Ear
lier this season the Rams drop
ped a ten point decision to Grif
fin on the Eagle’s home floor.
Griffin Is rated third In AAA
and hasn’t lost but one game this
year. So Bradley’s Rams will
face the supreme test.
There is an old saying, “When
the going gets tough, the tough
get going.” Bradley’s boys have
proven that they are tough and
that they have the class that only
a Bradley coached boy knows.
So, come Saturday night, you can
look for the Rams to get going
and go over, through, and around
proud Griffin.
The momentum of this game
will probably carry them clear
