University of Georgia - Pandora Yearbook

“un , SOMETHING ' S GOING I ^ 1 students, faculty, and staff learned quickly to make due with less as the recession took its toll. Wh en Gov. Zell Miller announced that education cut- backs would play a major role in the proposed state budget, and all uninstitutions in the university system, including the University of Georgia, would face cut budget cuts, campus improvement took a back seat. The Board of Re- gents met and decided to cut the University budget by 7.5 percent across the board. Tate Student Center hours were cut, work study programs were limited, phones were re- moved, and bus waits were un- bearable. Cuts were felt every- where. However, the 7.5 percent cuts did not stunt some improvements from pushing forward and going up at the University. The business school, through funding, became the Terry College of Business. Due to a $6 million gift, the largest gift given to date, the college was able to buy computers and open them to all business students for use. In thanks Brooks Hall received a change, becoming Terry College. Thanks to the Athletic As- sociation, an addition to San- ford Stadium was possible. Forget 82,000 of your closest friends. Now capacity stands at 85,434. The addition gave fans an extra 3,312 seats to choose from. Construction was completed in time for the Ray Goff ' s third season as head coach. The budget crunch did not stop students in their quest for higher learning. A record number of new students en- tered the University in the fall. Though many applicants were turned away, according to the Admissions office, 4,815 students entered the Universi- ty fall quarter, a record high enrollment. CHANGES Utlcla Walston ”
