Alumni Heavily Involved
In Annual Meeting
"As my service as chairman of the Board of
Trustees of the Gainesville College Foundation
draws to a close, I have reflected on the year with
much gratitude for the support of so many people, "
said Joe Chipman to the 250 + supporters of
Gainesville College who attended the Foundation's
26th Annual Meeting on Sunday (January 24) at
the College .
"In a year when most nonprofit organizations
have fallen short of fundraising goals , we have
been most fortunate in not only meeting our ambitious goal, but in surpassing it," he continued.
The 1992 fund drive goal of $300,000 was set by
Fund Drive Chairman Joel Ames and Honorary
Fund Drive Chairman Ray Jones , both of whom
were congratulated for their leadership in ex-

National
Higher Education Week
Twelve GC alumni took time from their busy
days to come to the campus during National
Higher Education Week, in October, to honor
faculty and staff, by presenting all 200 employees
of the College with individual gifts. This is the
fourth consecutive year that the Alurrmi Association has sponsored this activity. It's a way for
alumni to thank faculty and staff for words of encouragement, for GREAT teaching, and for being
available and for listening . The faculty and staff
were pleased to be honored by their former
students in this way.

Lest We Forget: After the Elections
by J. Fosler Walkins
President, Gainesville College
comings of the current campaign system and who
possibly could contribute to and support campaign reform as called for by Mr. Harris.
Working in a campaign is obviously an
enriching experience as described by Ms. Russell.
Some go beyond that by offering themselves for
public office. In the recently completed election
period, those of us who work at Gainesville College were mindful of this process, particularly at
the local and state levels , more so than at any time
in the recent past. Two of our fine faculty
members, Steve Blair and Margaret Newberry, currently serve on the Hall County Board of Education. In that position they will make decisions that
will literally touch the lives of thousands of
children in this county. They are joined on that
Board by Keith Morris , a current trustee of the GC
Foundation who attended Gainesville College in
1973-74. Keith recently received your Alumni
Association's Distinguished Alumnus Award at
the annual meeting of the Foundation.
"Who Shot JFK?" That question was raised
in a very thought-provoking presentation by Bob
Harris who was on campus on January 26. Supported by the Student Government Association,
Mr. Harris talked to an audience of approximately 135 students, faculty , and staff, and then conducted an extended, follow-up question and
answer session.
I came away from that experience with some
degree of depression about the futility of it all. Mr.
Harris leaves the impression that the democratic
system, as we know it, is controlled by vestedinterest and power groups that go so far as to
possibly assassinating a president. In response to
a question from me-as an educator for 35 years
who believes that things are not and don't have
to be that way, he indicated that major campaign
financing reform was needed so that candidates
would have ways to get elected without having
to depend on their personal fundraising. Such
dependence, in many instances, makes them
beholden to the sources of those funds. He extended his response to indicate that institutions like
Gainesville College should constantly try to communicate to its students the personal power they
have through the multiple individual decisions
they make in their lives. He stressed also the personal responsibility they have to make those decisions in a way that supports openness in the
political process and concern for the quality of life
for all of us and for the future of our society.
He suggested further that our Library/LRC
should subscribe to publications from the "alternative media" as a means of countering the control of the public media through large cox:porations
which actually own entities such as the major networks imd newspapers .
I was still troubled by his presentation when
I sat down and tried to develop an article for this
edition of Anchors Away. Thumbing through the
last issue of the newsletter, I ran across Sally
Russell 's article on "Don't Just Vote ; Go Work in
a Campaign. " (Ms. Russell is Associate Professor
of English and French at the College .) If you did
not read that article , we would be glad to make
another copy available to you.
In that very personalized discussion, Ms.
Russell talked about the extent to which her family
tradition of being involved in the pursuit of public
office and working in campaigns has meant so
much to her and her family over the years. In concluding that article, she identified campaign
workers as a source of people who see the short-

GC Alumna Frances Meadows, a financial aid
counselor at the College, was elected to a position on the Hall County Commission. She is
already involved in a decision-making process that
will influence the quality of .life for all of us in
Hall County and literally in Northeast Georgia
because of Gainesville-Hall County's emergence
as a regional center of Northeast Georgia. She is
joined on the Commission by Brenda Branch, a
long-time supporter of the College and one we
claim as an alumna through her part-time study
with us as she explored some career options. Ms.
Branch is serving as Chairman of that

Alumna Davis Visits Poland
Under Fulbright-Hays Grant
only college professors, they are opening up noW
for high school teachers. She would encourage
high school personnel to apply for the grants.
While at Gainesville College in 1966-68, Davis
was very much involved both in and outside the
classroom. She was on the Dean's List several
quarters and was a member of Phi Theta Kappa,
the honor society for two-year college students.
She served as editor of the Yearbook for the two
years that she was a student at GC . "Working with
Dr. Jack Jones was a very pleasant time for me ,"
she indicated. "In fact," she continued , "my entire time at the College was a really nice experience. The friendships I made there have been
lasting ones."
After receiving the Associate of Arts degree
in liberal arts from GC in 1968, Davis transferred
to Clemson University where she earned the
B.A.Ed. degree in social studies. She taught for
several years, then returned to Clemson and
received her M.Ed. degree in secondary counseling in 1979. Currently, she teaches government
economics to seniors at Seneca (South Carolina)
High School and is head of the Social Studies
Department.
She was sitting in a classroom, as a FulbrightHays scholar, on a bright sunny morning six
months ago in Poland listening to a lecture about
that country and its people. She was anticipating
visiting some of the same sites later in the after~
noon that were mentioned in the lecture.
Janey Dean Davis has come a "long way"
since sitting in another classroom, a makeshift
one , at the Gainesville Civic Center in 1966, as
a freshman at Gainesville Junior College in its first
quarter of operation.
'
Davis was one of 15 South Carolina
educators-9 university professors and 6 high
school teachers-chosen as Fulbright-Hays
scholars, who spent six weeks in Poland this past
summer for a comprehensive learning experience.
A University of South Carolina professor, who had
visited Poland in 1989, had written a grant proposal which was funded and allowed for the group
to tour Poland.
The theme ofthe visit was "Poland: In Transition from the Fall of Communism to the Rise of
a Democratic Society." As Davis explained: "Even
under the rule of Communism, the Polish people
still owned much of their own land. The Poles had
remained deeply religious, predominantly
Catholic, during their 45-year domination by the
Soviet Union, and their cathedrals had been
preserved.
"The solidarity movement, which was begun
in the early 1980s, continued for eight to nine
years ," continued Davis. "The early days were
marred by violence and by the arrest of Lech
Walesa, the solidarity leader and current president. They pursued their independence, and finally the Communists peacefully allowed for elections to be held. Then, a democracy prevailed in
1989. "
She indicated that renovations are continuing and are still needed in Poland, and a doubt
still exists as to the form the government is going
to take.
"Our days were long and full in Poland,"
Davis acknowledged. "We put in a 12-to-14-hour
working day each day, with lectures in the mornings and tours in the afternoons and evenings."
The group flew in and out of Berlin, "and we
rented German vans to tour Poland and stayed in
Polish accommodations," she added.
Since their return to the States, the scholars
have shared their information and experiences
with world history classes in the high schools and
colleges and with community groups.
Davis stressed that while the majority of
Fulbright grants previously have been awarded to
Janey and Scott Davis
Davis has a son, Scott, who is a sophomore
at Anderson College . She is the daughter of Inez
Dean, retired from the GC staff, and the sister of
Harriett McNeal, current vice president of the
Alumni Association. Davis and McNeal have
another sister, Susan Pierce, who heads the
biology department at Perry (Georgia) High
School.
McNeal praised both of her sisters' accomplishments. "The school systems are lucky to
have Susan and Janey. They both go that extra
mile, not only in teaching, but in sponsoring
special groups and clubs." She added: "Janey is
such a good older sister. She has always been so
supportive of me and of what I did, and that made
it easy to follow her in school. She simply paved'
the way for me at Gainesville College."

Checkers Brings
Alumni Together
GC Alumni Chuck Groves, Lawrenceville,
and Kurt Allen, Winder, have recently completed
one of the largest murals in this area-a wall mural
12 feet by 90 feet at the new Checkers restaurant
in Athens.
According to Chuck, who attended GC as
recently as the 1992 fall quarter and who visited
the GC Alumni Office in January , the owners of
Checkers asked if students from the University of
Georgia Art Department would paint a mural on
the outside of a building adjacent to Checkers.
When the UGA Art Department "dropped the
ball," Chuck and Kurt took on the project.
The guys worked four weeks on the project,
including several very cold ' days in December.
However, the mural was completed in time for
Checkers ' grand opening the second week of
December.
Janice Whitmire Krull and her son Chip stand by their
"Checkers" cab beside the Gainesville Checkers
restaurant.
husband Dan, and son Chip Whitmire who also
attended the College. Additions to the chain are
anticipated in Gwinnett County.
Janice has fond memories of her years at the
College. She indicated that "the experiences and
education that I gained at the College contributed
to the knowledge it took to work together and
build a business as a family."
WHAT ARE MATCHING
GIFTS?
Since 1954, more than 1,050 companies have
established matching gift programs for education,
the arts, public broadcasting, nonprofit hospitals,
and other community organizations. Under a corporate matching gift program, gifts made hy a
company's eligible employees to the nonprofit
organizations that meet the company's guidelines
are matched with company or corporate foundation funds. Colleges and universities were the first
nonprofit organizations to benefit from matching
gifts. They still receive the largest percentage of
corporate matching gift monies, although benefits
to other types of nonprofit organizations are growing rapidly. When considering a gift to GC, please
determine whether your company is a "matching
gifts" employer.
Kurt Allen (left) and Chuck Groves put the finishing
touches on their mural at the Checkers restaurant at
Athens.
Chuck, who with Kurt has established Edge
Graphics, and his wife Lori have two children.
Kurt, who is single, painted the GC time capsule
that was buried when the College celebrated its
25th anniversary in 1989. He subsequently
graduated from GC in 1990. Chuck's goal is to get
a master's degree and to continue his work in the
graphic design area.
The mural was drawn in with crayon, then
blocked with solid colors, finally blended. The
medium used was oil-based enamel. Chuck
described the mural as being a lot of fun to design.
"It is a collage of many subjects, some directly
related to others, some unique in themselves," he
added.
Checkers restaurants located in Athens and
Gainesville are family owned and operated by
Janice Whitmire Krull , a 1968 GC graduate, her

He served on the Foundation Board of Trustees
in 1975-77.
These awards are presented annually to alumni and friends of the College who have made
significant contributions to the Alumni Association, the Foundation, the College, and the
community.
Fred Kelly, immediate Past Chairman of the
Foundation and Chairman of the Investment Committee, gave a positive report noting that even in
the tight fiscal climate, the endowment had increased by more than $250,000 this year, to nearly $3 million.
Richard Allison, Chairman of the newly
created Planned Giving Committee, reported on
the work of the Committee and distributed a
brochure which is being used as the Foundation
moves in this fundraising direction.
Gainesville College President J. Foster
Watkins expressed appreciation to the Foundation
for its continuing generous support of the institution . He noted that much of the success of
Gainesville College is because of the broad-based
support it enjoys in its service area. He
acknowledged the special support of those who
serve as Trustees of the Foundation and who provide leadership to and support for its multiple
activities.
Entertainment during the luncheon preceding
the meeting was provided by the Gainesville College Jazz Combo, directed by Roy Forrester.

Foundation were named Honorary Life Trustees.
-Dallas and Bobbie Gay, Gainesville, were
selected because of their long-term involvement
with the Foundation and the College. Both served with distinction as Trustees of the Foundation,
Bobbie in 1988-90 and Dallas in 1980-84. Bobbie
and their sons, Jeff and Tommy, all attended
Gainesville College. They have provided corporate
support from their multiple business interests and
personal support.
In addition, Bobbie has served as President

dedicated to the support of the Gainesville Theatre
Alliance, a cooperative venture among Gainesville
College, Brenau, and the community. Dallas has
been treasurer of the Theatre Wings Endowment
Fund. Both of them have been involved in virtually every volunteer aspect of the theatre program.
The entire family was featured in the GTA production of "Bye Bye Birdie." They also were instrumental in organizing the St. Jude bike-a-thon
at the College.
-Ray Jones has served two terms as a Trustee,
in 1975-78 and 1983-86, and has just concluded
a very successful year as the Foundation's
Honorary Fund Drive Chairman. He has supported
the College personally and through his association with J & S Farms. He was a key player in the
recent capital bond campaign for the Hall County Schools. The most direct contribution that he
and his wife Evelyn have made to Gainesville College is their daughter, Carol Pinson, who teaches
English at the College.
He is a member of the Board of Directors ·of
First National Bancorp, of two Boards of the Northeast Georgia Medical Center, and of the Board of
Jackson Electric Membership Corporation for 17

he was an invaluable source of helpful feedback
from the community and served on a number of
ad hoc committees over the years. He was instrumental in speeding the process of the College's
first new building in 19 years, the Continuing
Education/Performing Arts Center; in working
with the Department of Transportation and Hall
County in getting streets paved and parking lots

I met for the first time at a Forsyth County
Chamber of Commerce meeting Representative
Keith Breedlove, who is in his third term in the
Legislature representing north Gwinnett County
and south Forsyth County. He spoke in glowing
terms of his years at Gainesville College and the
appreciation he had for the people who had made
a difference in his life while he was at the College in the early 1970s.
Currently Donn Peevy, who served as a
senator from Gwinnett County for many Years, is
a member of the GC Foundation Board of Trustees
and has been most helpful as we have reached out
to Gwinnett County as our largest sending county (excluding Hall).
Closer to home, James Mills was elected in
November to the House of Represe~tatives and is
beginning his service in that capacity. He attended Gainesville College in 1981-83 and in 1990 and
is a resident of south Hall County. He will be
following in the footsteps of Jerry Jackson who not
only served Hall County but particularly
Gainesville College well during his 18 years in the
Legislature.
In reflecting on this list of people who are
close to Gainesville College, who have served and
are serving in these positions, we know them as
good and well-intentioned people. It is our hope
that the enthusiasm of Sally Russell as she

local financial leaders. He was part owner and manager
of the Credit Bureau of Gainesville.

served in a campaign a!}d in the joy of success of
people who are elected will spill over in such a
way that we will support the people who serve
and make the system work. In that way, the
pessimistic view presented by Mr. Harris, which
is probably closer to the truth than we would like
to admit, will not become reality and we will not
risk losing the ideals of American democracy as
we know it.
It rests upon how well each of us accepts the
challenge from Mr. Harris to emphasize our individual responsibility as we make the decisions
that impact the future . We are part of the future,
It is our hope that the Gainesville College experience prepares our students to be meaningful
players in that future-through service in elective
offices or as responsible citizens who are involved supporters of those who serve.

Booker Author of Published Article
GC Alumna Sarah Booker, now a senior at
North Georgia College and a paraprofessional in
the GC Business Division, wrote an article entitled "More than Hardware-The Importance of the
Human Touch in the Academic Computer Lab ,"
which was published in The Community, Technical,
and Junior College Times of The American Association of Community Colleges in its October 6 , 1992
issue.
Excerpts of that article follow:
One of the great strengths of the business program at Gainesville College is the availability of
the open lab and the expertise of the friendly and
patient lab paraprofessionals, according to Dr.
Louise Holcomb, chair of the Business Division.
That statement sums up the philosophy behind
the Academic Computer Lab at the College. The
paraprofessionals, if they don't know the answers,
do know who to call or where to go to find them.
With 20 computers, five printers, and various
reference books, there is usually activity in the lab.
The paraprofessionills do not spend all of their
time in the lab-they . can also be found in the
classroom monitoring or instructing business
classes or assisting with any kind of computerrelated problem.
The lab hours are flexible from quarter to
quarter, the facilities are available for use by any
current student (priority), faculty/staff or the
public. The lab is also a room for hands-on computer instruction.
Sarah Booker explains an item on the computer to student Lynn Churchwell of Cornelia.

The paraprofessionals do not spend all of
their time in the lab - they can also be
found in the classroom monitoring or instructing business classes or assisting with
any kind of computer-related problem.

Even though the paraprofessionals are part of
the Business Division, they work closely with
English students, a "unique relationship" in that
the support staff work closely with the English
faculty and students. All English 101 students are
required to learn word processing using WordPerfect software. All of those classes meet at least
part of the week in a computer lab to meet this
requirement.

(Continued from Page 9)
The current Academic Computer Lab concept
evolved from the need for an accounting tutor. A
secretary was hired who could do accounting-a
combination paraprofessional and secretary. Over
the years the position evolved from the original
secretary to one who has had all the necessary jobrelated courses at Gainesville College including
accounting, Lotus, dBase, and WordPerfect.
A faculty member in the Division oversees the
support staff, but day-to-day running of the lab
is left to the paraprofessionals. The staff is responsible for the cleaning and general maintenance of
the computers and printers in the Lab as well as
44 computers and six printers located in adjacent
classrooms. When computer-related problems
arise in any of these areas, the paraprofessional
on duty is there to assist.
.
Since the College is on a computer network
system, the student may sit down at the computer
and choose the appropriate program from the nearly 30 types of software programs available. Most
GC students will at some point use the services
available in the Academic Computer Lab. Based
upon the positive feedback, the lab has proven to
be most helpful. And, hopefully, these studentoriented concepts will be around for many years.

week Summer Scholars Program, an early intervention thrust, sponsored by the College and
Piedmont Migrant Education Agency, was conducted at the College in the summer. Approximately 45 Hispanic, Black, and Caucasian
students in grades six to twelve were enrolled
in the program. Objectives of the program were
to increase English and Spanish proficiency, to
provide science opportunities, to promote intercultural understanding, and to enhance the
self-image of participants. Plans are to further
expand the program in the next five years.
Each year University System Chancellor H.
Dean Propst requests from the System-institutions a list of accomplishments of the past year,
or what he calls a "Brag Sheet." Gainesville College's "brag sheet" turned out to be four pages
long. Some of the highlights of the year follow:
- The 1992 fall quarter enrollment set
another record with 2,949 students enrolled, a
10 percent increase over the 1991 enrollment.
This was the largest percentage increase since
the 1988 fall quarter and compares with last
fall's percentage increase of 7. 7 percen~.
- The institution hosted the Southern
Literacy Festival on campus in February, 1992.
This was the first time that this event had been
held in Georgia and at a two-year college.
- The funding of a critically needed new
academic building to house the Business Division and the Mathematics Department was the
highlight in the physical plant area. It is anticipated that the building, which will total approximately 20,500 square feet, will be completed and ready for occupancy in 1994. H.
Lloyd Hill, Architect & Associates of Gainesville
was selected as architect for the project.
-The Anchor, student newspaper, received
11 awards from the 1992 Georgia Press Associa-
tion competition in February. One of the awards
included the "most improved" newspaper. The
Anchor received more awards than any other
college-related newspaper in Georgia.
-GC students continued to perform well
on the Regents' Test. In 1991-92, the passing
rate for first-time examinees was 75.2%, and for
repeaters was 64.6 %, exceeding System
averages for both testing categories. Students
transferring from Gainesville College also continue to rank high when compared with other
System two-year students. A total of 404 GC
students transferred to System four-year colleges
and universities, more than any other two-year
institution with the exception of DeKalb and
Macon.
-For the third time in as many years, an
intramural Co-Rec Flag Football team captured
the State Flag Football Championship in
November. In 1990, and again in 1991, the team
advanced to the National tournament, where it
lost in the finals. In 1992, the team lost in the
quarter-finals of the National Tournament.
-For the second year, a very successful six11
