at one-act play competition
By MARTI M. TOLLESON
Special to the HTJ

place in the regional one-act play
competition with their performance
of "David and Lisa" by James

understanding guidance of
psychiatrist Alice Swinford and her

Update on MGTI given at legislative appreciation brunch
By BRIGETTE LOUDERMILK
News Editor
Although it may not be as flashy
as the first draft, construction at the
new Highway 96 site for the
technical school should begin soon
according to MGTI President Billy
G. Edenfield.
At a Legislative Appreciation
Brunch held Wednesday, Dec. 7,
Edenfield stated that two companies
were being considered for
construction of the facility.
The first set of bids received for
the project, for which the school
has a $12.5 million budget, were
all too high, according to Edenfield,
who continued by saying, "The
lowest bid was 19 percent over our
budget."
After removing some of the
"frills" from the original design,
bids were let once again, with
Williams and Associaties of Macon
submitting the low bid,
$11,849,000. If the company
accepts the project, the facility will
have a May 1996 completion date.
"That will give us time to move
in over the summer and open Fall
1996 classes at the new school,"
Edenfield said.
An Augusta firm will be the
second choice. Their bid was for
$12,450,000 and set a completion
date for October 1996.
