WHITE COLUMNS. How do you see your role as President at Augusta College? CHRISTENBERRY. I conceive my role as Presi- dent of Augusta College as one of leadership and responsibility. The leadership role concerns the development of the College to provide for the citi- zens of the CSRA academic instruction, public service, and research to meet the needs of a growing community. There is a responsibility to the citizens of Georgia, including especially the students and faculty of Augusta College and ' the residents of this area, to see that Augusta Col- lege fulfills its purpose as a senior institution in the University System of Georgia seeking to meet the needs in the three areas listed. WHITE COLUMNS. Has the title of President of Augusta College hampered your being recog- nized as an individual? CHRISTENBERRY. I do not think so. WHITE COLUMNS. How do you view your rela- tionship with the student body? CHRISTENBERRY. My relationship with students has been primarily with individuals such as stu- dent leaders and certain organizations.

CHRISTENBERRY. I evaluate the student body as above average in intelligence and motivation. It compares most favorably with the student body of any college with which I have been associated.

If a peaceful student protest occurred in accordance with College regulations, I would first ascertain the cause and seek to dis- cuss solutions to the situation. If actions disrup- tive of the teaching function or the administra- tion of the College took place, it would be dealt with firmly. WHITE COLUMNS. What is the college administra- tion doing to achieve closer personal relationships with the students? CHRISTENBERRY. Students have been appointed to College committees, have assisted in the se- lection of a dean of students, and have partici-
