The truth of the matter is that the original plan endorsed by some of the faculty which would provide for no break until Thanksgiving, would not be very conducive to learning.

How much would students learn then? Not much. Fortunately, though, the SGA fulfilled its duty in championing the student perspective, and the Faculty Senate took the SGA's suggestions into consideration.

We give 110% to GEORGIA SOUTH every day through our time and effort. Why should we give to j A DAY FOR SOUTHERN ON CAMPI The dedication and drive of GEORGIA SOUTHERN'S faculty and staff are the primary reasons why the University became the leading center of higher education in South Georgia in the first place... and why it still is. But the truth is, hard work isn't enough, and state dollars can't be used to fund many of the programs and projects that have long set SOUTHERN apart from the other "universities" in our half of the state. Only private dollars can provide resources adequate to fund research and study time and travel for faculty, academic scholarships to allow the University to compete for top students, cultural and intellectual programs to enhance classroom learning, honorariums and awards for outstanding faculty and staff, and much more. It's so much easier to ask for—and receive—a financial gift from an individual, a corporation, or a foundation when we can say that our faculty and staff support our programs with their dollars. The size of the gift isn't as important as the fact that , "everyone plays." (And you may designate your gift for any program or project you choose.) During our community campaign last month, Statesboro and Bulloch County surpassed their $650,000 goal by more than $57,000 to date. On campus, our primary goal is in people—100% participation. Won't you join the team? A DAY FOR SOUTHERN ON CAMPUS 0 OCTOBER 27-31, 199 7 ^^■^^■■■■■^■^^■■^M
