IMPACT OF PROPOSED STATE BUDGET: The fiscal year 2001 budget
now under consideration by the Georgia General Assembly will result in

says President Michael F. Adams. Among Gov. Barnes'
recommendations is $13.6 million to equip six University System facilities,
including UGA's new Student Learning Center.

UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY MOURNS TWO FACULTY MEMBERS:
The university lost two respected, long-time faculty members last week:
Stanley Lindberg, editor of The Georgia Review, and Alan Jaworski, head
of the botany department. Under Lindberg's editorship, The Georgia
Review became one of the nation's most respected literary journals.
Jaworski, a past recipient of the Josiah Meigs teaching award, taught
thousands of students in introductory biology courses and was known
as a "student's teacher."

RESEARCH
HIV-AIDS CAMPAIGNS IN AFRICA NOT WORKING: An astounding
67 per cent of all individuals with HIV or AIDS live in sub-Saharan
Africa. A new study by speech communications faculty member Kenzie
Cameron and several co-authors indicates that one reason for the high
infection rates may be the failure of educational efforts by both African
and international health organizations.
