50 programs of study, including

plus allied health programs such as
Nursing, Dental Hygiene, Health
Information Technology and
Respiratory Therapy.
Winter quarter classes begin Jan.
6. Day and evening classes are
scheduled at four Macon College
locations: the main campus at
Interstate 475 and Eisenhower
Parkway, the Robins Resident
Center at Robins Air Force Base,
the Downtown Center on Second

Robins Campus in the Advanced

Boulevard.
Slate-supported tuition is $387
per quarter for full-time study, less
for part-time work. Financial aid
and HOPE grants and scholarships
are available to qualified applicants.
On the Main Campus,
County discusses space woes
Houston County needs more
storage space.
A 10-member committee told the
County Commission last week that
space to store county records was
the biggest problem facing county
buildings.
"We can probably make 30
percent more space available with
what you have if you file
differently," Carl Hammock,
chairman of the committee, said.
"There's boxes everywhere," Eddie
Wilson, another committee
member, told the commission after
the committee conducted a walk
through of the courthouse.
A filing system that has cabinets
seven or eight feet tall would be
better than the three ;uid four-drawer
cabinets now in use. Hammock and
Wilson suggested the new system
would utilize the space above the
current filing cabinets that is being
wasted.

Going vertical would also free up
more floor space, which would give
county employees more room in
which they could work, Hammock
said.
Parking around the courthouse in
downtown Perry is another concern.
Wilson suggested the county
consider buying more property at
liie courthouse for a ptirking lot.
