on a continent where a billion people are creating what

A few words about college costs. Nobody likes
paying tuition bills. But considering what it actually
costs to provide a year's education, UGA's price tag
is a real bargain.
Against all odds. Damon Gause (M '37) escaped
from a Japanese prison during WWII. The diary he kept

is in the works.
Women at the top. The glass ceiling was no barrier
to success for Carlene Ellis (BS '69), Ann Hailey (BBA
'73), and Hala Moddelmog (MA '81).

Self-defense for your mind. A UGA history professor
argues that students must learn history—not to
memorize facts, but to arm themselves against others'

A possible dream. Erwin Mitchell's (JD '48) crusade
to educate the influx of Spanish-speaking children into
Dalton, Ga., has turned an educational crisis into a
cultural opportunity.

they can't get at local apartment complexes: a sense
of community.

had become a magnificent wreck. But Richard Wells (BLA

The University's centaurs. Graduate teaching

four award-winning business-plan teams in the past year,
including the "Super Bowl" champs.
L.A.'s Music Man. Steve Dorff (ABJ '71) grew
