Robins Resident Center Announced
At its monthly meeting on
Wednesday, the Board of Reg
ents of the University System
of Georgia approved the estab
lishment of the Robins Resident
Center. The Center will offer
a four-year resident degree
program in business adminis
tration for civilian and military
personnel of the Robins Air
Force Base. The Center will
augment an existing graduate
program conducted jointly by
the University of Georgia and
Georgia Tech,
The new Center will be ad
ministered by Macon Junior
College, in cooperation with
Georgia College, Milledgeville
Fort Valley State College anti
Middle Georgia College. Macon
Junior College will also provide
staff services and a director,
who will be named later. The
associate degree in business ad
ministration will be granted by
Macon Junior College: the bach
elor’s degree will be granted
by Georgia College, Milledge
ville.
Macon Junior College Presi
dent Jack Carlton said that the
action by the Regents came
after the Chancellor’s Office
conducted a survey of the en
rollment potential of the base
last summer. "At that time it
was determined that sufficient
State Treasurer Speaks
To Perry Kiwanis Club
State Treasurer Jack B. Ray
said today that Georgia is in
danger of falling into the "def
icit spending trap" that has
plagued the federal government
for so many years.
In a speech to the Perry Ki
wanis Club, the veteran state
official said Georgia is cur
rently spending more than it is
taking in and that "as long as
you spend more than you take
in you're going broke.”
Ray proposed earlier this
month a constitutional amend
ment that would limit the slate
budget .loan amount equal to the
revenue collected the previous
year. Current law allows the
General Assembly to appropri
ate up to the amount ot antici
pated revenue plus any surplus
accumulated from previous
years.
"In a period of declining
economy such as we have
now." Ray told the Kiwanians,
"this would mean a curtail
ment of state services if reve
nue should not come up to the
amount predicted.”
Ray also expressed the need
for a working reserve to pre
vent "the potentially embar
assing situation of the slate's be
ing temporarily unable to pay
its bills."
He said such a situation
could come about because the
state’s treasury surplus, which
was built over a period of sev
eral years, has been virtually
appropriated.
Such a working reserve, he
said, could be provided either
by a direct appropriation or
by simply keeping the state
budget less than the anticipated
revenue.
Ray explained that while
state expenditures are relative
ly level on a month-by-month
basis, income varies widely. "In
months in which income is low
est,” he said, "it is often a
tight squeeze to pay the state’s
bills—including salaries w hen
numbers of personnel were in
terested in continuing their col
lege education to warrant an
on-base resident center,” re
ported Dr. Carlton. "Participa
tion by base personnel in ad
vanced study at Macon Junior
College, at Middle Georgia Col
lege, and in the master’s pro
grams conducted by the Uni
versity of Georgia and Georgia
Tech has demonstrated the de
termination of these people to
pursue further education. We
are real pleased to respond by
making the opportunity more
accessible to them,”
“The realization of this pro
gram," said Major General A.
J. Beck, Commander of the
Warner Robins Air Materiel
Area, "is directly due to con
tinuous efforts of administra
tive officers of Macon Junior
College and representatives of
the Chancellor’s Office who
have pursued this goal relent
lessly. For the first time it will
be possible for our personnel to
begin college attendance on
base, and go on to their degree
without having to leave the
base." He also noted that many
personnel with some college
work completed will now be
able to finish their degree pro
grams.
The greatest number of the
they are due.”
For all practical purposes,
the state is constitutionally pro
hibited from borrowing money
for operations.
Ray, who served in the State
Legislature for 19 years and
was chairman of both the Ways
and Means Committee and the
Committee on Appropriations,
is a long-time advocate of re
sponsible fiscal practices in
state government.
He helped write the legisla
tion that led to the adoption, in
1951, of sweeping reforms in
the state's tax structure, and
initiated the first significant
budget control in Georgia his
tory.
Discussing the operation of
the Office of Treasurer, Ray
said: “The business of the
State of Georgia is big busi
ness. Since 1943, when I was
first elected to the Legislature,
1 have watched the cost of op
erating our government grow
from Still million to more than
$1 billion annually—nearly ?3
million a day, including Satur
days. Sundays and holidays. As
the state budget has grown, so
have the responsibilities of the
office of Treasurer,"
Hay. a Warren County lawyer
and farmer, was appointed
treasurer by Gov. Ernest Van
diver in 1961 to fill the unex
pired term of veteran Treas
urer George Hamilton, who re

Under the agreement, Robins
