��HIGHLIGHTS
The National Council for the Accredition of Teachers' Education (NCATE)
conducted its on-site visitation as part of its accredition process. Within the
last year this prestigious agency has revamped its guidelines and raised its
standards.
Consequently, only one in eight teacher's education programs are
receiving full, five year accreditation.
The Citadel's education unit,
consisting of the teaching certification programs in the Departments of
Education, Physical Education, and Psychology, met all standards and had their
programs re-accredited for five years.
This was the first year of the implementation of the Core Curriculum. For
incoming students, the change in requirements from the survey of United States
History to Western Civilization constituted the major change.
In the coming
year, the greatest impact will be a large number of students taking Chemistry
or Biology as their second year science along with one of the several options
that comprise the required social science course. Nonetheless, the transition
in its first year to the new core curriculum went smoothly.
The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education approved the
implementation of the Master of Arts degree program in history. This is a joint
effort undertaken with the College of Charleston. The Citadel will concentrate
in the areas of U.S. and European history, while the College will focus on Third
World studies and the history of the Lowcountry.
Without the generous support of The Citadel Development Foundation, namely
$1.46 million, the college simply could not achieve the level of excellence it
has attained. Funds from the foundation support scholarships, grants, faculty
development and research, and recognition of faculty excellence. As part of the
adoption of the Series Z administrative package, software systems supporting
procurement and development came on line, and more computer labs and work station
labs are under construction or purchase.
Following statewide competition, The Citadel received grants from the S.
C. Department of Education to conduct teacher training institutes for advanced
placement (AP) teachers of English, U. S. History, and Comparative Government.
These grants represent the fifth year in which Citadel faculty have successfully
competed in this statewide process.
Project Challenge, a program under the auspices of the Department of
Education, received a major grant of $150,000 from the Jessie Ball duPont
Foundation.
Project Challenge is an effort that encompasses Citadel faculty
working with nearby Burke High School in developing and implementing a humanities
curriculum. Colonel Thomas W. Mahan and Lieutenant Luci Bailey of the Education
Department spearhead the project.
Each year, the Governor of South Carolina recognizes the best professor
among all the colleges and universities operating in the state by the
presentation of an award at a banquet in Columbia . Each college or university
may nominate one professor. This year's recipient of the Governor's Professor
of the Year is Colonel Thomas W. Mahan, Professor of Education and Psychology,
the first Citadel faculty member to be so honored.

�The Corps of Cadets performed well throughout School Year 1989-90, even
with . the difficulties imposed by Hurricane Hugo. The cadets evacuated the campus
on 21 September 1990 and returned to class on 9 October 1990 . Due to the loss
of 12 class days, Christmas leave was shortened and first semester exams,
normally scheduled prior to Christmas, were scheduled after Christmas furlough.
Spring break was also shortened.
Parents' Day and other activities were
rescheduled.
For several weeks home football games could not be played at
Johnson Hagood Stadium. Despite these and other problems associated with the
storm, the leadership of the Regimenta'i Commander and his staff contributed
immeasurable to smooth operations throughout the year.
The flexibility
demonstrated by the Corps in implementing the revised school calendar enabled
the Class of '90 to graduate as originally scheduled on 12 May 1990 .
Hugo inundated our finance offices with water and cut off all power to our
computer system.
It caused a major drain on our cash account in order to
accomplish the approximately $2 million worth of emergency repairs required to
restore the college to full operational status . We have received the first two
distributions of payments from our insurance claims and we are still working
closely with the Division of Insurance Services staff and the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) staff to close out all pending claims and receive
reimbursement for Hugo related expenses.
Fiscal Year 1989 - 90 saw a slight retreat in the level of state funding
for the higher education formula. After increasing to 93% funding in 1988-89,
the General assembly was able to provide only about 92.68% funding for 1989-90 .
This forced the college to provide no funding for equipment replacement or
purchases with the exception of computers, physical plant equipment, and boating
center equipment.
The Citadel's audit for Fiscal Year 1988-89 was performed by Rogers,
Montgomery and Company, P.A., Certified Public Accountants under contract to
the State Auditor. The report was again an unqualified report. The same audit
firm also audited The Citadel Athletic Department under guidelines established
by the NCAA and found no major deficiencies.
The Budget and Control Board's Procurement Audit Staff conducted an
extensive audit of The Citadel's procurement system to determine how well we
complied with state procurement regulations. The audit was conducted for the
period November 1986 to April 1990. The college received a very favorable report
of findings.
The auditors support our request for an increase in our local
procurement authority to $30,000.
The Citadel's procurement staff processed and awarded 55 invitations for
bid and one minor construction bid without protest . In addition, 10 invitations
for bid which were exempt from the State Procurement Code were processed and
awarded without protest.
The procurement staff processed in excess of 200
procurements worth $2 . 0 million in support of the hurricane cleanup effort .
The Citadel continues to benefit from its designation by the Department
of Defense as a Service Educational Activity .
This designation permits the
college to gain priority access to Department of Defense surplus property . We
have obtained property valued at more than $42,000 this fiscal year to include
paints, lubricants, and other general maintenance supplies.

�The Citadel has become a recognized leader in the Charleston area in
efforts to involve Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) in Citadel procurement
activities. Our purchases from minority firms for the first three quarters of
this fiscal year total $238,912 which has surpassed our goal of $124,489. Our
efforts this year were assisted by the needs developed as a result of
Hurricane Hugo.
The Citadel staff worked closely with the State Treasurer and the
college's bond attorneys to develop the documentation required for the
refinancing of $1,350,000 of Institution Bonds, the issue of a new $500,000
Institution Bond, the issue of $3,200,000 of Revenue Bonds, and $2,000,000 of
Plant Improvement Bonds. These bonds will support the new Cadet Dining
Facility project, a previously completed Faculty Quarters project , a project
to upgrade the Capers Hall cooling system, and a project to relocate the
roadway near Indian Hill.
The State passed legislation permitting The Citadel to establish a
foundation and transfer the current endowment funds to that foundation . This
action will eliminate one of the problems that has been noted in the annual
audit management letter for the past several years, i.e., that the funds
should be invested by the State Treasurer instead of The Citadel .
Major construction activities on the campus centered on the completion
of the McAlister Field House Project, the Central Energy Facility and the
Perry Earle Tennis Facility. A much needed Alumni Hall Replacement Project
was started as well as the new Coward Hall Project. Projects under design are
Vandiver Hall and the Renovation of Bond Hall. Auxiliary activities provided
services and goods to students, faculty and staff, as well as providing much
needed revenue for athletic operations, scholarships and student activities.
The continued emphasis was made on major equipment replacement in both the .
Print Shop and Laundry activities.
The Citadel Baseball Team participated in the College World Series in
Omaha, Nebraska, with Coach Chal Port being named National Coach of the Year
by the Sporting News . The team won 46 games and lost 14.
In what turned out to be a busy year for the college's fundraising
activities, over $2 million was collected in the areas of both restricted and
unrestricted gifts, scholarships, and Clark Campaign pledges and commitments.
Included in this figure were two unplanned fundraising efforts revolving
around historic events for The Citadel.
The Hugo Relief Fund collected over $200,000 in cash from alumni,
friends, and foundations assisting with our recovery from the storm. The
Inaugural Campaign was announced in March (to this point solely directed
toward alumni) to assist in retiring the unbonded financial obligations of the
college. A goal of $1.5 million was established with collections to be
completed by the end of Calendar Year 1991. Thus far, over $450,000 has been
committed, meeting our most optimistic projections .
The 16 October 1989 issue of U, S, News and World Report, featured The
Citadel as seventh among 148 Southern Colleges and Universities in the annual
guide to "America's Best Colleges."

�During the 1990 session of the State General Assembly, the most significant
piece of legislation directly related to The Citadel was House Bill 4379. This
bill authorized The Citadel Board of Visitors to establish a non-profit
eleemosynary corporation for the purpose of providing scholarships and other
financial assistance and support to the college, to authorize the transfer of
certain non-state appropriated funds or property to this non-profit corporation,
and to provide for disclosure requirements regarding these funds and property.

�SYNOPSIS OF THE HISTORY OF THE CITADEL
The Citadel, The Military College of' South Carolina, is situated on a
beautiful campus between Hampton Park and the Ashley River. From 20 December
1842, when the legislature of South Carolina passed an act providing for the
establishment of The Citadel, to September 1922, the college was located on
Marion Square. Erected as a state arsenal after the Denmark V&amp;sey slave uprising
in 1822, this fortress was called The Citadel.
It was garrisoned by Federal
troops, then by state troops, until they were replaced in March 1843 by 20
students who comprised the first Corps of Cadets.
In 1833, The Arsenal in Columbia was established and it, along with The
Citadel, was a part of the South Carolina Military Academy. In 1845, The Arsenal
became a subsidiary school which took only freshmen, and The Citadel continued
as a four year college. The Arsenal burned in 1865 and was never reopened.
On 9 January 1861, cadets of the Corps drove back the Star of the West from
the entrance of Charleston Harbor. On 28 January 1861, the Corps was made a part
of the military organization by legislative act, and helped emplace and guard
artillery on James Island, performed guard duty in Charleston and suffered
several casualties in engagements with Union troops at Tulifinny Creek near
Yemassee Station on 7 and 9 December 1864.
The operation of the college was suspended when the buildings on Marion
Square were occupied by Federal Troops from 18 February 1865 until April 1879.
On 2 October 1882, The Citadel reopened with an enrollment of 185 cadets.
In 1910 the name of the college was changed to The Citadel, The Military College
of South Carolina. The City Council of Charleston, during the administration
of Mayor T. T. Hyde, gave the state the present site of the college in 1918.
In the fall of 1922, the college began operating at its new location with almost
300 cadets. Today the Corps of Cadets, 2000 strong, continues as an all-male
corps, as has been the case traditionally from its establishment in 1842.

Curriculum

This was the first year of the implementation of the Core
Curriculum. For in-coming students, the change in requirements from
the survey of United States history to Western Civilization
constituted the major change .
In the coming year, the greatest
impact will be a large number of students taking Chemistry or
Biology as their second year science along with one of the several
options
that comprise the
required social science cours e .
Nonetheless, the transition in its first year to the new c or e
curriculum went smoothly.
The
National
Council
for
the
Accreditation
of
Teachers'Education (NCATE) conducted its on-site visitation as part
of its accreditation process . Within the last year this prestigious
agency has revamped its guidelines and raised its standards.
Consequently, only one in eight teachers education programs are
receiving full, five year accreditation.
The Citadel's education
unit, consisting of the teaching certification programs in the
Departments of Education, Physical Education, and Psychology, met
all standards and had their programs re-accredited for five years .
14

�The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education approved the
implementation of the Master of Arts degree program in history.
This is a joint effort undertaken with the College of Charleston .
The Citadel will concentrate in the areas of U.S. and European
history, while the College will focus on Third World studies and the
history of the Lowcountry.
The faculty of the Civil and Electrical Engineering Departments
have completed various self-assessment forms in preparation for a
re-accreditation visit in 1990-1991
the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (ABET) . Both departments currently enjoy
accreditation from this agency.

Academic Enrichment Activities

At the campus-wide and community level, the spring 1990
Greater Issues Address was given by General Alfred M. Gray, USMC,
Commandant of the Marine Corps. General Gray spoke on the future
of the Marine Corps in light of recent developments in Eastern
Europe and the Soviet Union.
General Andrew J. Goodpaster, USA
(Ret.) and former Chairman of the Atlantic Council, gave the John
C. West Lecture to the Corps of Cadets. General Goodpaster talked
about the role of NATO and the United States now that "World War
III had ended."
Among the major departmental symposia and lectures were the
Inn of Court Readings, the Razor Lecture , the 13th Annual Citadel
Reading Conference, the 5th Citadel Conference on Latin America,
the Citadel Symposium on Southern Politics, the annual meeting of
the Southeastern Nineteenth Century Studies Association, and an
International Conference on Charged Coupled Devices. The military
departments had numerous flag and other officers address various
cadet groups on many topics of interest. That we were able to host
or conduct all these events along with our routine operations
provides ample testimony to the hard work of the staff and faculty
following Hurricane Hugo.
11 .

Special Activities

Following state-wide competition, The Citadel received grants
from the S.C. Department of Education to conduct teacher
training
institutes for advanced placement (AP) teachers of english, U.S.
history, and comparative government.
These grants represent · the
fifth year in which Citadel faculty have successfully competed in
this state-wide process.
-Project Challenge, a program under the auspices of the
Department of Education, received a major grant of $150,000 from
the Jesse Ball Dupont Foundation. Project Challenge is an effort
that encompasses Citadel faculty working with near-by Burke High
School in developing and implementing a humanities curriculum . COL
Thomas W. Mahan and LT Luci Bailey of the Education Department
spearhead the project.

18

�Among the many research grants awarded Citadel faculty was a
continuation (3rd year) grant from to the S.C. Commission on Higher
Education to COL Joel Berlingheri of the Physics Department on a
project titled "Construction and Evaluation of Holographic Fourier
Transform Spectrometers." The amount is in excess of $75,000.
In
addition, the Commission also approved a grant under the auspices
of the D.D. Eisenhower Science Education Act to LTC Charles Cleaver,
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, for the continuance
of a project that teaches secondary school teachers how to use
portable calculators in the instruction of mathematics and calculus .

B.

Biology

The Department of Biology offers an undergraduate major
leading to the Bachelor of Science Degree. The program of study is
extremely flexible in that it provides the student a strong
background in biology while at the same time allowing him to obtain
a broad liberal arts education.
The number of undergraduate
students has decreased slightly to between 95-125, with 25
graduating in May .
Congratulations are extended to the twelve
students, both alumni and members of the Class of 1990, who were
accepted by various graduate and professional schools.
In
conjunction with the Department of Education, the department also
offers masters degrees with both a major and minor in biology.
Enrollment in the Department's graduate program has remained
constant with approximately 25 students working toward their
masters degrees.

D.

Chemistry

The Chemistry Department was extremely fortunate that during
Hurricane "Hugo" its facilities sustained relatively minor damage.
Byrd Hall developed some leaks in the roof, and lost a few windows,
but there was no damage to equipment, supplies or furnishings. The
operation of the department, therefore, continued smoothly and with
no disruption.
As in past years, the department is deeply indebted to CDF
for generous financial support of seminars, research and faculty
development.
Three faculty members had research grants and two
received Faculty Development grants.
In addition, Dr . May was
awarded a Sea Grant research grant. These grants produced fruit in
the publication of three papers and the presentation of six papers
22

�at national and regional professional meetings.
The faculty this year has been stable with no new members and
no losses.
We were fortunate to have Dr . Lisa Zuraw serve as
Adjunct Professor.
The implementation of the Core Curriculum in the fall is
likely to have a dramatic effect on the enrollment in introductory
chemistry courses.
We expect that we shall require at least one
additional full time faculty member to accommodate the increased
enrollment.
There were four chemistry majors who graduated in May; all
received the BA degree. One of the these will enter the UNC Dental
School, two have accepted positions in industry, and one will go
into law enforcement.

E.

CIVIL ENGINEERING

One hundred thirty-nine students were enrolled in Civil
Engineering day program this year.
Eighteen seniors graduated in
May 1990. Seventy-seven new freshmen have been approved to commence
the program during Fall 1990.
There were no changes during the year of permanent party
faculty . Dr. Harry C . Saxe completed his duty as the Colonel Louis
LeTellier Distinguished Visiting Professor of Civil Engineering .
His replacement is being arranged.
LTC Thomas J. Anessi and Cpt.
Michael H. S. Woo were tenured and selected for promotion to the rank
of Major . Captain Kenneth P. Brannan was awarded a GDF outstanding
faculty award .
The faculty were most involved in research and professional
development. Colonel Charles Lindbergh and Major Dennis J. Fallon
presented technical papers at the Fourth National Conference on
Earthquake Engineering . Major Dion, Major Stout, Major Fallon and
Captain Brannan presented papers on undergraduate engineering
education at the Southeastern U.S. Annual Conference of the American
Society of Engineering Education in Charlotte, N. C.
Major Fallon
and Captain Brannan presented another paper at the International
Conference on Engineering Education in Canada.
Captain Brannan
presented a paper at the national American Water Works Association
in California.
Colonel Lindbergh and Captain Murden continued a
sponsored research project to develop a manual for the wind and
seismic design of masonry structures. Captain Brannan and Captain
Wood completed a sponsored environmental engineering study .
This was the y ear of Hurricane Hugo. The facult y and studen ts
p rovided si gnificant r e construction and building code tech ni ca l
assistance to the state and lowcountry in their recovery . Colo ne l
Lindber gh l e d the formation of a volunteer architect and e ngineer
assistanc e organiz a tion that provided more than 500 te chnical
personnel t o the s ta t e for r ecovery purposes. The studen t s as si s t e d

23

�and were acknowledged in the national ASCE magazine.
In its final
report, the Governor's Emergency Management Review Panel on Hugo
endorsed the recommendations and efforts of Colonel Lindbergh in
several areas involving improved building standards and other
mitigation measures.
The students also completed another successful year with the
ASCE student chapter, winning a national award for excellence.
A
student delegation also attend a ~egional ASCE student conference
at the University of North Carolina and another student conference
at Clemson University.
The
n e cessary
application
was
prepared
requesting
reaccredit a t ion by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology (ABET) .
The reaccreditation visit is scheduled during
the 1990-91 academic year.
The Evening Undergraduate Civil Engineering Program completed
its third year with an increased enrollment.
The cooperative
graduate engineering program directed by Clemson University
continued into its second year with success. The civil engineering
faculty teaches two-thirds of the courses.
Two "Greater Issues in Civil Engineering" seminars were also
conducted. One was entitled "Civil Engineering in the Last Decade
of the 20th Century" and was presented by MR. James E. Sawyer,
National President-Elect ASCE . The other seminar was presented by
Howell C. Jones, Jr ., Class of 1950, on "Civil Engineering and
Creative Thinking."

F.

Education Department

The p r ograms of the department have continued to
attract substantial enrollment, particularly at the graduate level.
The graduate programs in education have a combined head count
enrollment of approximately 1100 students.
This number has
continued to grow over the last several years.
Growth in numbers
is at least one measure of the quality of our programs . The "market
place" has indicated a Citadel education at the graduate level is
to be prized.
The Department takes satisfaction in· this
achievement .
The Teacher Education Unit, which includes the Department of
Education, has been preparing for approximately two years for the
accreditation visit of the National Council for the Accrediting of
Teacher Education (NCATE) .
This prestigious group has accredited
The Citadel since 1974.
NCATE, since our 1984 visit, has changed
significant ly its accreditation process and by most accounts made
the system substantially more rigorous . In the academic year 198889, only six of the forty-six institutions visited by NCATE met all
NCATE standards . The Citadel was visited in February 1990 and the
Board of Examiners of the NCATE found us in compliance with all
standards.
This judgment was confirmed by the Unit Accrediting
24

�Board of NCATE at its April meeting.
The Citadel then continues
among that group of teacher education institutions holding the most
prestigious national recognition available. This accreditation is
good until 1995 when we will be revisited .
In large measure, it is the quality of the faculty that
attracts students and makes for viable programs. The Department is
fortunate to have an outstanding faculty made up of individuals who
are committed to their profession and to their students .
The
Education Department has been hired one new faculty member for 199091 .
Dr. Jeffrey Kottler will join us as an associate professor
working primarily with the graduate program in counseling.
Dr.
Kottler comes to us from Michigan with substantial experience in
private practice and in higher education.
He is the author of
several books in his field.
The quality of the faculty in education was recognized further
when Col . Thomas Mahan, Professor of Education, was named the
Governor's Professor of the Year. To be recognized by the State as
the outstanding professor is a high honor for Dr . Mahan and also a
high honor for The Citadel.
In addition, Maj. Linda Elksnin,
Associate Professor of Education, was given the Self Award for
outstanding teaching for the year.
This honor also confirms the
quality of instruction that the Department of Education provides.
In November of 1989, The Citadel and the Department of
Education was honored by a grant from the Jesse Ball Dupont
Foundation of $150,000 to support Project Challenge .
Project
Challenge is a cooperative endeavor between The Citadel and Burke
High School . The focus of the project is on the development of a
unique curriculum and delivery system for "at-risk" students . The
project is highly innovative and preliminary results appear very
positive.
The project suggests that faculty in the Department of
Education are actively engaged in scholarly and professional
pursuits that impact directly on the community in which we live and
work . Successful projects such as this create a community
climate where when one thinks of teacher education one thinks of
The Ci tade 1.
Quality is the watchword of the Department of Education.
In
o r der to maintain it and to enhance it, the Department has been
active
in
curriculum
rev1.s1.on,
professional
and
scholarly
activ i ties, participation in state-wide activities, and most
impor t antly in delivering the curriculum through outstanding
t e aching .
The Department looks back at the year with pride and
forward to the challenges of 1990-91.

G.

Electrical Engineering

One h u ndred and thirty-eight students majored in electrical
engine ering this year . This is a 5 percent decrease in enrollment
f r om the p r evious year. Twenty - one cadets a nd two veteran students
gradu ated i n May 1990. Three of the graduated cadets will atte nd

25

�graduate school beginning this fall.
This year's enrollment in The Citadel's Evening College
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program was sixtysix. Continued growth of this program is anticipated based on this
enrollment and numerous inquiries about the program.
Two laboratories and three offices of the Department,
including a significant amount 0£ equipment, received major water
damage from Hurricane Hugo, but loss of educational time was
minimized by extraordinary efforts of our faculty and staff, as well
as Citadel Physical Plant personnel. A photograph of one of the
laboratories, in its damaged condotion, appeared in the Chronicle
of Higher Education and in Newsnotes of the Precision Measurements
Association. It is not yet known how much insurance compensation
will be received.
Three months after Hugo, severely cold weather broke water
pipes, with resulting damage to two more of our offices.
The Twenty-Fourth Annual Razor Lecture was presented by Mr.
Richard L. Deal, Citadel '59, president of Richard L. Deal &amp;
Associates (Telecommunications Consultants). Mr. Deal remained an
additional day to lecture to several electrical engineering classes.
Our students were intensely interested in his presentations.
Major Jack Stinson, Faculty Advisor to The Citadel's IEEE
Student Branch, and twenty-four electrical engineering students
attended IEEE Southeastcon '90 in New Orleans, La.
For the fourth year the Power Engineering Educators and
Industry Group of the Southeastern Electric Exchange has presented
The Citadel with a scholarship grant of $1,000 for a student
planning a career in power. This scholarship is made available to
our students in recognition of the excellent power education program
at The Citadel and in appreciation of the contribution of Colonel
Harold W. Askins, Jr. to the Modern Power Systems Analysis course
sponsored annually by the Southeastern Electric Exchange at Auburn
University.
The Electrical Engineering Department was the recipient of
a donation from AT&amp;T Network Systems of fiber optic equipment and
materials valued at $150,000. Mr. F. Harrison Wallace, Jr., Class
of 1977, was instrumental in securing this donation from AT&amp;T . The
material and equipment will enable the department to address this
major emerging technology in our laboratory program.
Design of the replacement of Alumni Hall for the Departments
of Electrical Engineering and Physics was completed in the summer
of 1989 and construction started in the fall.
Completion is
expected in late spring of 1991 with occupancy in the summer of
1991.

�The Electrical Engineering faculty is in transition.
Mr.
David Taylor, Visiting Lecturer, will not return in the fall of
1990. Dr. Jack A. Stinson will be on a sabbatical during the 19901991 school year .
An active search is in progress to fill the
'William
States
Lee
Endowed
Professorship.
This
endowed
professorship was made possible by a donation from the Duke Power
Company and the State of South Carolina's Cutting Edge program for
higher education.
The faculty continues to bui'ld a record of scholarly and
professional achievement.
CPT Tamal Bose received his second GDF
research grant and submitted a proposal to NSF under the
Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement Program (under review).
In addition he presented two papers at IEEE Conferences that were
published in the respective Conference Proceedings and has two
published papers in highly respected IEEE Transactions, and one
paper in the Journal of the Franklin Institute. CPT Joe Epple had
a paper presented at the Third DOD Electromagnetic 'Windows
Symposium. In addition, he continues to work on his Ph.D. research,
making significant progress toward his doctorate in Electrical
Engineering. Professor Jack Stinson is rapidly establishing himself
as a national authority in the area of product data exchange through
his consulting with a group under the direction of the South
Carolina Research Authority.
Professor Stinson received a
sabbatical for the 1990-1991 academic year to participate fully in
the development and implementation of a product data exchange
specification standard. LTC Louis Dornetto continues to be actively
involved in the area of environmental impact and personnel hazards
of electromagnetic energy by serving on an ANSI committee addressing
nonionizing radiation safety criteria, and through his consulting
work with the U.S. Navy. Professor Dornetto also continues his work
in the area of modeling and simulation. He presented a paper at the
twenty-first
annual
Pittsburgh
Conference
on Modeling
and
Simulation, and continues to serve as a reviewer for the IEEE
Control Systems Magazine.
Professor Harold 'W. Askins was again
invited to be one of the principal lecturers in a Modern Power
Systems Analysis course at Auburn University.

�H.

English

In pursuit of the multi-phase self-study begun last year,
Colonel Tucke r conflated the old Freshman and Sophomore committees
into a single departmental Core Curriculum Department under the
chairmanship of Major Suzanne 0. Edwards. This committee completed
its review of the English 102 course, formulated objectives and
standards, and submitted the new policy to the department in April
1990, toge ther with suggestions for the assessment of the entire
Composition and Literature sequence (English 101-102), and the
proposal was adopted as official policy .
The department also
established a new Assessment Committee, to be chaired by Colonel
Tucker, wi t h the objective of implementing the assessment program
in the 1990-1991 academic year.
All arrangements have now been
completed for assessment at the beginning of the Fall Semester, and
the department is proud to emerge, as is customary, in the lead, for
no other department has established its own program of college-wide
assessment . During the 1990-1991 academic year, the Core Curriculum
Committee will conduct a similar analysis of the objectives of the
Major British Authors courses (English 201-202), while the English
Curriculum Committee will work upon a proposal for assessing the
English major.
The Assessment Committee is charged with the
implementation of a full scale assessment program for 1991-1992.
To a very large extent, the department is already in a
position to demonstrate its overall success, for we receive dozens
of reports from successful alumni. It is safe to say that all our
English majors who have gone to law school have fared extremely
well.
This past year, eleven English majors took the Law School
Admissions Test with an average score of 37 (the 84th percentile)
and all those who have applied to law school have been accepted.
Because of this success, the department has therefore sustained its
high reputation among cadets, and we have continued to show about
90 majors on our books . In fact, with twenty-one graduates, the
department lies fifth among all departments in graduating seniors.
The quality of teaching, scholarship and service remains high.
Colonel Tucker , Maj or Shields, Maj or Allen, and Captain Mailloux won
Faculty Achievement Awards from The Citadel Development Foundation.
Professors Tucker, Edwards, Leonard, Allen, and Wharton gave a total
of fifteen papers at scholarly conferences, while Professors Allen,
O'Neil, Leonard, Shields, and Tucker published eight articles. Four
others wer~ called upon to give lectures in various forums, and two
books were published: Professor Tucker's Pedantius:Comoedia Acta in
Collegio Sancti Trinitatis (Georg Olms Verlag) and Professor Robert
A. White and David G. Allen's Traditions and Innovations: Essays on
British Literature of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance
(University of Delaware Press). Professors Suzanne Edwards and Jack
W. Rhodes published volume four of Nineteenth-Century Studies,
Professor James S. Leonard published two issues of the Mark Twain
Circular, Professor Thomas A. Tenney published another issue of the
Mark Twain J ournal, and Professor James A. W. Rembert published two
issues of the SEASECS Newsletter. Captain Margaret M. Lally also
published several long sections of her poem, Anna Swan, in the
28

�prestigious poetry journal The Kenyon Review. Professors David S.
Shields and James M. Hutchisson also contributed sections of the
new Heath Anthology of American Literature. As many as seven books
are under contract and due to appear, and in order to sustain their
continuing research plans, Professors Allen, Edwards, Hutchisson,
Leonard, Mailloux, Rhodes, and Shields have received GDF Research
Awards.
Professor Shields also won a grant from the American
Philosophical Society and Professor Hutchisson has landed a travel
grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Professor
James S. Leonard has now completed his sabbatical, and Professor
David S. Shields has been awarded a sabbatical leave for 1990-1991 .
Major Rhodes and Major Edwards made all local arrangements for the
annual meeting of the Southeastern Nineteenth-Century Studies
Association.
Professor Shields conducted the planning for the English
departmental seminar featuring Professor Robert A. Ferguson,
Professor of English and Professor of Law at Columbia University,
who spoke on "Law Schools and the Mystique of Legal Education."
Professor Tucker continued as Advisor-in-Chief to The Citadel Inn
cf Court and supervised the two major reading programs, the LSAT
Workshop, the Mock Trials, and the Moot Court program, while also
serving as Executive Director of The Citadel American Inn of Court.
Colonel Tucker also contributed a section of the Judicial Continuing
Legal Education seminar for the S. C. Bar Association in March 1990.
With Judge Klyde Robinson, he also attended the Sixth Annual
Convention of the American Inns of Court Foundation in Washington,
D. C. and experienced the unusual privilege of dining at the United
States Supreme Court.
Professor Jack W. Rhodes has now earned promotion to the rank
of Professor with the military rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and
Professor Peter A. Mailloux has been promoted to Associate Professor
with the rank of Major. Otherwise, the department has suffered no
retirements nor resignations and has hired no new teaching staff.
Mrs. Mary S. Furlow retired after many years of splendid service to
the department and the college. Our new administrative assistant,
Mrs. Libby 0. Walker, joined us in August 1989.

History

The Academic Year 1989-1990 saw several personnel changes in
the Department of History, commencing with the retirement of Captain
John S. Coussons from office of the Head, effective 20 August 1989,
after twelve years of service. Captain Coussons spent the academic
year on sabbatical. Colonel Larry H. Addington was made Acting Head
for school years 1989-1990 and 1990-1991 . Other personnel changes
include the promotion of Lieutenant Colonel Winfred B. Moore, Jr.,
from Associate Professor to Professor; the retirement of Commander,
USN, Lyon C. Tyler, Jr., after eighteen years of service; and the
continuance of Captain Jane Bishop as an Assistant Professor in
probationary status.
29

�The most significant curriculum change for the 1989-1990 year
was the implementation of two semesters of Western Civilization as
the required Core course for all 4th classmen except History majors
beginning in the fall of 1989. At the end of the school year, the
department voted to require History majors as well to take two
semesters of Western Civilization commencing in the fall of 1991,
and a revised major curriculum will be devised accordingly. In May
1990, the Commission on Higher Education formally approved a joint
M.A. degree in History in collaboration with the College of
Charleston, the implementation to begin in the fall semester of
1990.
The state-mandated self-assessment program as applied to the
History Department has so far consisted of an exit questionnaire of
graduating majors, a process that will continue in the future years.
In addition, work on entry and exit examinations is being
considered, though further guidance from the school will be
necessary before a system can be put into place by fall 1991.
Hurricane Hugo damaged many homes of faculty of the department
in September 1989 and suspended operations of the school for
sometime. The History Department was fortunate that its physical
facilities received only minor damage and it was able to commence
full operations when the school reopened.
Despite the disruption done to the lives of several of our
faculty by the hurricane, they continued to be a highly productive
group of people in the areas of research and publication as well as
in those of teaching and service.
Colonel Larry H. Addington published the second volume of his
two-volume study of the history of the patterns of war, the second
volume, like the first, being partially funded by the Citadel
Development Foundation. Captain Jane Bishop published a co-edited
translation of a medieval writing, filled in for a sick professor
for most of a semester, and served at a shelter during Hurricane
Hugo. Colonel John W. Gordon presented a paper to the Naval History
Symposium at Annapolis, completed an essay to appear in a collection
on Churchill's generals, and was made a member of the committee for
the award of the Birdsall Prize in European Military History for the
American Historical Association. Colonel William L. Harris gave a
paper at a regional meeting and organized two conferences on Latin
America at The Citadel.
He also served as advisor to the local
chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the national history honor society.
Colonel Jamie W. Moore co-authored a book on the Army Corps of
Engineer's flood plain management policy, and presented a guest
lecture in the Dean Rusk Lecture Series at Davidson College.
He
was recommended for, and received, a Citadel Development Foundation
Fellowship for the next three years. Colonel Gary Nichols published
an article on the economic impact of the Thirty Years' War in
Hapsburg Austria, served as Acting Vice Head of the department, and
originated a program that will allow a designated GDF cadet
recipient to undertake an internship at the U.S. Army Military
History Institute at Carlisle Barracks, Pa.
30

�Lieutenant Colonel Joseph F. Tripp co-edited a manuscript of
essays on the American South, served as a consultant to the
Charleston County School District, and played an outstanding role
in handling departmental schedules.
He was co-advisor of the Inn
of Court and local chapter president of Phi Kappa Phi.
Colonel
David H. White, Jr., a most conscientious teacher, served as a
discussant on a panel sponsored by the Atlantic Council, reached
draft stage on a scholarly paper, and served on numerous committees
both within and without the department.
The department received a full allotment of ancient world maps
late in the year, a necessary equipment for the Western Civilization
courses, and most of the department is now equipped with word
processors.
The increasing use of VCR tapes will require an
expansion of our TV resources in the future.

Mathematics and Computer Science

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers a
wide variety of courses in an effort to meet the demands of a
rapidly changing age of technology in which mathematics and computer
science are playing an ever increasing role.
Service courses are
offered for the entire college as well as degree programs in
mathematics and computer science.
The number of majors in mathematics and computer science
decreased from the previous year. Approximately 125 students were
pursuing degrees from among the eight program options offered. The
number of undergraduates receiving a bachelor's degree in May, 1990
was 16. A few others will complete requirements by August.
In conjunction with the Department of Education, graduate
courses for middle and secondary teachers continue to be offered in
the evening along with undergraduate courses for the Evening College
and Engineering programs.
The department received a D. D.
Eisenhower Grant through CHE to offer courses for middle and
secondary mathematics teachers on the use of calculators in the
classroom.
Additionally, the department also taught courses for
several school districts funded by EIA.
As in the past, The Citadel Development Foundation has
enhanced the department with grants to individuals and the
department. Colonel Comer continued as a GDF fellow while CPT Chen,
MAJ Cohn, CPT Deutz, LTC Greim, MAJ Hoyle, MAJ Hurd, CPT Riedel, and
MAJ Zahid all received research grants. Faculty development grants
were received by MAJ Francel, CPT Lipscomb, and MAJ Pages.
Additionally, the department was able to attract several speakers
to the campus by using GDF funds.
As evidenced by the number of research and faculty
development grants mentioned above, the scholarly activity in the
department continued at a high level.
Professors Comer and Greim
gave invited lectures at National and International meetings and

31

�several members gave talks at regional and local meetings.
CPT David Trautman received the James A. Grimsley Outstanding
Teaching Award.
He also received tenure and was promoted to
Associate Professor.
Maj ors Crabtree, Denig, and Pages were
promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, and LTC Cleaver was promoted to
Colonel.

K.

Modern Languages

This year's academic activities can best be described as
progressive.
The placement exams for entering students are being
refined;
the Russian and German language classes are also now
increasing students' use of the language to communicate in the
classroom;
two advanced courses that will accommodate French,
German, and Spanish language majors in the same class were approved;
and groundwork was laid for a study abroad program in Germany to
complement ongoing programs in France and in Spain .
We are now
seeing the results of several years' efforts to improve language
instruction on the elementary and intermediate level, namely a
noticeable improvement of the students' skills at communication and
comprehension. A more concrete effect is seen in increasing numbers
of students in the advanced courses, and in the number of majors in
the program - thirty-two, four of whom are double majors from other
departments . This number is an all-time high for the department.
Improvements in language instruction come from a dedicated
staff : one half-time, four tenured professors, two on first year
tenure track, and four visiting instructors. All eligible members
have taken an active part in service to the school:
for example,
MAJ Robert Emory was a member of four standing committees in
addition to other school-wide assignments.
The members of the teaching staff were also active in
scholarly activities.
CPT Elba Andrade's review of Feminism and
Theatre and an article "Discurso pitico y axiologia socialcristiana en Nos tomamos la universidad", appeared in issues of
Gestos .
Professors Elba Andrade, David Johnson, and Grant Staley
presented papers, and Visiting Instructor Joy Young presented two
papers at professional meetings . Also Professors Andrade, Emory,
Frank Frohlich, Albert Gurganus, Staley and visiting instruct.o rs
Carolina Wagner and Carol Young represented the department at
various state and local professional meetings.
Awards seem to come to a dedicated staff.
Visiting
instructors Carol Young and Carolina Wagner received a King Juan
Carlos Fe l lowship to study in Madrid University this summer.
In
addition, s upport from GDF has always had a crucial impact on the
development of our faculty.
Recipients were Captains Andrade and
Gurganus wh o received research grants. Professor Andrade received
support to publish her book; LTC Staley received support to attend
a workshop on Oral Proficiency; and MAJ Christopher McRae received
sabbatical leave support. And last, but not least, Professors Emory

As . the new academic year starts, there will be some personnel
changes. LTC Frohlich has been named acting head of the department
as COL Johnson, having completed his five year term as head, returns
to full-time teaching. Professor McRae will return from sabbatical
leave, and Visiting Instructors Joy Young and Eileen Howe have
accepted employment elsewhere.

Montreal. The symposium trip was funded by a CDF grant.
Twenty-two health and physical education majors attended the
national convention of AAHPERD in New Orleans.
Several cadets
participated for the S . C. team which won the "Super Stars" national
competition. Blaine Hite was recognized by NASPE as the college's
physical education major of the year.
Jay Grissom received the
Keith Hamilton Award from Mrs. Jean Hamilton at the Cadet Awards
Banquet.
The award is for sustained scholarship, effort and
attitude.
The cadet physical education majors enjoyed four evening
program speakers and also attended the Cooper River Bridge Run

The cadet majors also hosted a fellowship night with
competition against the faculty. The department also hosted the
Cooper River Bridge Run Symposium.
The symposium featured three
internationally renowned scholars, Dr. Charles Dillman, Dr. Steve
Blair, and Dr. Russ Pate, who spoke to two hundred guests and
cadets.
The undergraduate and graduate programs received positive
evaluations from the professional accreditation arm of NCATE. The
National Association for Sport and Physical Education endorsed both
programs to NCATE in the Spring 1990 review.

M.

Physics

Hurricane Hugo blew the roof off the east end of Bond Hall
where the Department of Physics facilities are located, and the
deluge that followed dropped hard plaster ceilings and brought down
fluorescent lights, sprinkler systems and suspended acoustical
ceilings, crushing department material and littering facilities with
dirt, plaster and twisted metal.
Everything lay buried under a
layer of acoustical tile turned to "oatmeal mush" by rain that
continued for three days after the hurricane.
In six offices and
an anteroom, four equipment storage rooms, two classrooms, three
laboratories, a student study and all the hallways, almost every
commodity -- books, papers, equipment, supplies, personal effects - was soaking wet.
Many items were crushed or otherwise damaged
beyond repair, requiring immediate disposal.
Nonetheless, · the
department resumed the semester on October 9 as scheduled. On two
separate subsequent occasions, the department moved all effects out
of offices, once for painting and once for carpeting, and moved it
all back into the offices again.
Mr. Braxton Simmons, department
technician and laboratory manager, not only rendered great service
through the immediate hurricane recovery period, but also donated
untold hours afterward in the restoration of damaged equipment and
facilities. Despite the havoc wrecked so early in the academic year
by the hurricane,
the Department of Physics experienced a
particularly productive and notable year as indicated by the
following activities.

34

�An international conference on charged coupled devices was
organized and sponsored jointly by the Department of Physics at The
Citadel and the Department of Physics at the College of Charleston.
It was held March 15-17, 1990 and attracted an international
audience of 65 scientists. Some 40 scientific papers were presented
during the three days.
A unique and automated photoelectric telescope located near
Tucson, Arizona became operational i~ September 1989 and has during
the past year continuously produced astronomical data which is being
reduced and analyzed by faculty and students in the Department of
Physics at The Citadel, one of the four college owners of the
instrument.
A one-hour television special entitled The Perfect Stargazer
was produced by South Carolina Educational Television and featured
physics department faculty members at The Citadel and the College
of Charleston involved with the four-college automated photoelectric
telescope on-site in Tucson, Arizona and the in the analysis of data
in Charleston.
The Citadel campus and several activities at The
Citadel were featured in the television program as well as extensive
interviews with LTC Saul Adelman of the Department of Physics at The
Citadel.
The $61,305 second-year phase of a three-year Cutting Edge
grant from SCCHE was approved in July 1989 to continue a major
research project on "Construction and Evaluation of Holographic
Fourier Transform Spectrometers."
Several physics department
faculty members are involved in the project with COL Joel
Berlinghieri, the Principal Investigator.
The high resolution
bandwidth of the optical spectra was significantly extended as a
result of the research accomplished the past year.
Faculty members in the Department of Physics had a total of
16 scientific papers published in refereed physics journals the past
year, presented 12 papers at scientific meetings, administered 5
outside research grants and 5 GDF research grants, and received one
faculty enhancement grant.
A monthly seminar program for faculty and students included
the following participants:
MAJ Patrick Briggs, The Citadel, Non-Linear Dynamics and
Chaos; Tricia Reeves, University of South Carolina, Collision of
High Energy Ions/Neutral Atoms; Joyce Bagwell, Baptist College at
Charleston, Earthquakes in South Carolina; COL Charles Lindbergh,
The Citadel, Earthquake Effects on the Built Environment; Robert
Hochel,
Savannah River Laboratory,
Low Energy
Gamma Ray
Spectroscopy; Donald Mitchell, Johns Hopkins University, Space
Physics and the Magnetosphere; Davis Philip, Van Vleck Observatory,
Introduction to the Mandelbrot Set; Rudolph Aldinger, Gettysburg
College, Fibre Bundles in Gauge Theories; Cadets Jeff Garrett and
Mike Moore, The Citadel, Senior Research Projects.
35

�The Citadel chapter of the Society of Physics Students under
the leadership of CPT Russell Hilleke traveled to Huntsville,
Alabama in January, 1990 to visit the Marshall Space Flight Center
and the NASA Space and Rocket Center.
The department continued its special laboratory program
directed by MAJ Patrick Briggs for science students at Rivers Middle
School and Burke High School. LTC Saul Adelman received a second
consecutive t hree-year GDF Faculty .Fellowship. He also received a
full Sabbatical Leave for the 1990-91 academic year. MAJ Patrick
Briggs was 1989-90 Chairman of Faculty Council in which capacity he
presented the 1989 Summer Commencement address and delivered the
response for the faculty during the Inauguration ceremony for
President Watts. MAJ Peter Rembiesa was on Sabbatical Leave this
past year doing full-time research in Quantum Electrodynamics.
Dr. Silvio G. Zenone has completed his second year as visiting
Adjunct Professor of Physics.
Cadet Jeffrey Alan Garrett, a senior physics major from
Greenwood, SC, received the 1989-90 General Wallace E. Anderson
Scholarship, a $500 award named in honor of the former Academic Vice
President and Professor of Physics at The Citadel.
The department hired Mrs.
Specialist B.

Nancy

Sliwa as

Administrative

Finally, it should be noted that even as the hurricane was
taking its toll, construction was beginning on Alumni Hall as a new
facility to house the departments of Physics and Electrical
Engineering and has progressed at a very rapid and impressive rate.
N.

Political Science

The Department of Political Science offers a major which
permits each student to concentrate his study in the area of his
interest while at the same time affording him an opportunity to
obtain a broad liberal arts education that will enrich his life,
acquaint him with the rights and responsibilities of citizenship,
and prepare him for a satisfying career.
Graduates of the department enter military service, public
administration, law, criminal justice, graduate and professional
schools, business, and federal and state government.
In order to
prepare graduating seniors for graduate and law schools and
professional employment, seminars and workshops are conducted
annually on the Foreign Service test, Graduate Record Examination,
Law School Admission Test, and Civil Service employment.
Each
member of the departmental faculty is readily available for
individual consultations regarding career guidance for our majors.
of

The Political Science Curriculum permits one of three areas
concentration:
(A) American Government and Politics, (B)
36

�International Politics and Military Affairs, and (C) Law and
Criminal Justice.
The curriculum is designed to make sequential
and developmental · learning likely and seeks to avoid a random ,
smorgasbord approach . Serious attention is being given to "writing
across the curriculum" and to improving our students' quantitative
and analytical skills.
Extracurricular activities are an important part of our
students' education. As is customary, the department supported the
conferences held at the various military academies by sending
student representatives. Additionally, two students attended the
Center for the Study of the Presidency's National Student Conference
in Washington, D.C., and a delegation of students, accompanied by
CPT December Green, participated in a model Organization of African
Unity session at Howard University. With the help of their faculty
adviser, cadets are required to engage in extensive preparations
before attending these conferences. Student organizations such as
Pi Sigma Alpha (Political Science Honor Society), Sigma Iota Rho
(International Honor Society), the Political Science Club, the South
Carolina Student Legislature, and the Debate Team all received
strong support from the departmental faculty.
The Internship Program continues to be successful and provides
students an opportunity to apply what they learn in the classroom
in various governmental agencies. During 1989-1990, students served
internships with several departments of the City of Charleston
(Minority
Business
Enterprise,
Cultural
Affairs,
Downtown
Revitalization, and Community Development), the Charleston County
Sheriff's Office , the City of Charleston Police Department, the 9th
Circuit Public Defender's Office , several departments of the Medical
University of South Carolina, a number of private law firms, and the
Charleston office of the South Carolina Pardon, Parole, and
Community Corrections Department.
The department routinely offers a variety of special courses
each year. During the report year, Adjunct Professor Lee Robinson
taught a course on police administration and Ambassador Joseph
Twinam taught Topics in International Politics with special emphasis
on the Middle East and American Foreign Policy decision making.
Professor Arcilesi also developed a Special Topics course on change
in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union . These courses are designed
to r eflect current political issues and keep students abreast of •
contemporary developments.
The departmental faculty continued during 1989-1990 to be
ex tremely active within the profession. Research papers have been
presented at the following scholarly meetings:
Georgia Political Science Meeting
La tin American Conferences
International Studies Association
Northeastern Political Science Association
African Studies Association
Western Political Science Association
37

�National Association of Black Political
Scientists
Southern Political Science Association
Far West Culture Association
Midwestern Political Science Association
Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and
Society
Citadel Symposium on Southern Politics
In addition, one book (The Disapp~aring South? Studies in Regional
Change and Continuity. edited by Professors Robert P. Steed,
Laurence W. Moreland, and Tod A. Baker) was published by the
University of Alabama Press, three other book manuscripts went into
publication, and several articles and book chapters written by
members of the Political Science faculty were published. Sponsored
by a grant from The Citadel Development Foundation, the department
sponsored the Seventh Citadel Symposium on Southern Politics.
Attended by approximately 80 scholars from around the nation, this
conference has come to be recognized nationally as the leading forum
for the presentation and discussion of southern politics research.
Finally, with the help of a generous grant from The Citadel
Development Foundation, the department has worked to enhance its
resource materials on Foreign Area Studies and to develop new
courses in Third World Studies; in this vein, planning began for a
conference on Area Studies to be held at The Citadel during the
spring of 1991.
The Department of Political Science is sensitive to its role
in the community and continues
to cooperate with various
organizations in providing speakers on such issues as political
campaigning,
foreign policy,
and the American Constitution.
Professor Milton Boykin and Ambassador Twinam have been especially
active in the Charleston Foreign Affairs Forum, a community based
group composed of leading citizens concerned with serious
discussions of international politics.

O.

Psychology

The Department of Psychology experienced a challenging and
successful year.
The School Psychology program met all standards
for accreditation as required by the National Council for · the
Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The faculty maintained
its reputation for outstanding performance and assumed major
leadership roles in state organizations.
CPT Kenneth D. Cole was
elected President-Elect of the South Carolina Association of School
Psychologists (SCASP) and Representative-at-Large of the South
Carolina Psychological Association (SCPA).
Col D. Oliver Bowman
assumed the presidency of the South Carolina Psychological
Association.
Col Thomas W. Mahan delivered the keynote address,
"Naked Without a Mirror," at the Joint Annual Conference of SCPA
and SCASP and was a singularly honored by SCPA for his lifetime
contributions to psychology.
Our department takes great pride in
its leadership role in psychology in South Carolina and in the
38

�quality of its academic programs.
The undergraduate major in psychology is designed around a
broad liberal education whereby the learnings in the humanities and
the sciences are integrated through an emphasis on the study of
human behavior.
Students in psychology develop an approach to
learning which combines an empirical, objective methodology built
upon observational and statistical strategies with skill in
discerning patterns across data which permits theory construction
and analysis.
Students who graduate · from this major are expected
to have the knowledge base and the data analysis skills which would
support graduate study in any of the specialty areas of psychology.
They also should be well prepared for employment in positions which
require understanding and motivating others. The graduate major in
school psychology prepares students to deal with psychological and
educational problems of children and adults and to improve the
psychological milieu of school environments.
Fifty-eight undergraduate students majored in psychology this
year.
Of the ten May graduates, one was accepted into a graduate
program in clinical psychology, one was admitted to law school, five
are employed in business, one is employed in government, and two
accepted military commissions.
Fifty-six graduate students are
enrolled in the school psychology program.
Six students were
awarded the Ed.S. degree in school psychology in May.
During the academic year, 575 undergraduate students and 309
graduate students enrolled in psychology courses.
Average
enrollment in undergraduate classes was 27 and in graduate classes
20. Enrolled in undergraduate psychology courses in the 1990 first
summer session were 38 students with an average class enrollment of
19 and 96 graduate students with an average class enrollment of 14.
Utilizing GDF funds, the department presented Dr. Michael A.
Kollar in a public lecture and demonstration on the use of
hypnotherapy in counseling and in a one-day workshop on hypnotic
induction techniques.
The department was host for the spring meeting of the
Charleston Area Psychological Association, presenting student
researchers from the Baptist College, the College of Charleston,
and The Citadel. Representing The Citadel were Cadet Philip DuBose,
who presented his research,
"Self-monitoring Ability,
Humor
Generation, and Cartoons," and Beth Walker, graduate student in
school psychology, who presented her work, "The Use of a Token
Economy Program for Decreasing Inappropriate Behavior in Mentally
Retarded Adults in a Residential Setting."
Faculty members enjoyed a professionally active year. Eighty
percent of the psychology faculty received GDF Faculty Development
Grants.
Sixty percent were awarded GDF research grants.
Eighty
percent presented at state meetings, sixty percent presented at
regional meetings, and forty percent presented at national meetings.
One hundred percent attended local professional meetings. The five
39

�full-time faculty served on 18 standing college committees,
conducted 14 major workshops, and delivered seven major addresses.
Scho larly activity remained at a high level. Representative
examples of this activity are noted. Col Michael D. Doran received
a CDF research grant to continue his research on humor and presented
a paper entitled, "Self-monitoring Ability, Humor Generation and
Acronyms," jointly authored by COLD. Oliver Bowman, CPT Kenneth D.
Cole and LT Christopher Keene at ~he Joint Conference of SCPA and
SCASP.
Col Aline M. Mahan spoke on the topic, "Learning
Disabilities and Twins," at the national convention of the Mothers
of Twins Clubs, Inc.; was a symposium discussant on issues in
psychology, addressing concerns on sequencing of courses in the
undergraduate psychology major at the Joint Conference of SCPA and
SCASP; presented at a workshop, "Families and Disaster Recovery-Hurricane Hugo"; and conducted a workshop in identifying children
with learning disabilities .
LTC James D. Pietrangeli served as
judge of student research papers in the behavioral sciences at the
Annual Meeting of the South Carolina Junior Academy of Sciences,
attended the Second Annual SCHEA Network Conference on the
Assessment of Institutional Effectiveness, and participated in a
workshop on "Proven Classroom Teaching Techniques." CPT Kenneth D.
Cole, who joined the faculty this year, presented a paper,
"Identification and Treatment of Socially Maladjusted Adolescents,"
at the Annual Meeting of the National Association of School
Psychologists and conducted a workshop, "School Psychology Review,"
for practicing school psychologists. He published an article, "Bad
Toys for Good Boys and Girls," in the Spring Edition of The School
Psychology Scene. COLD. Oliver Bowman presided and presented at
a paper session on Child Clinical Techniques at the Annual
Convention of the Southeastern Psychological Association; spoke on
the topic, "Looking Out, Looking In; Self-Esteem Enhancement," at
the national convention of the Mothers of Twins Clubs, Inc . ; was
keynote speaker at the Spring Meeting of the Tri-County Association
for Counseling Development, speaking on the topic, "The Changing
Face of the Professional Counselor"; was keynote speaker at the
Charleston County Library Staff Day, addressing the group on
"Motivational Techniques for Employees of Government Bodies"; and
presented two in-service workshops, "Working Together for the
Benefit of the Child," for teachers and school psychologists.
The Student Counseling Center remained active in providing
vital services to students and faculty. The Center experienced a
two percent increase in demand for counseling services this year.
During 1989-90, the Center provided 1,940 contact hours :
589
personal counseling hours, 296 educational assessment hours, 85
alcohol awareness hours, 440 barracks outreach hours, 210 infirmary
visitation hours, and 320 Evening College admissions testing hours .
As a result of Hurricane Hugo , The Student Counseling Center was
unable to move to Thompson Hall as originally scheduled, requiring
that the a c tivities of the Center be split, with some office space
in both Bond Hall and Capers Hall .
The staff was diligent in
meeting t he regular responsibilities of the Center as well as
dealing with the additional prob.lems relating to post-Hugo stress,
40

�even with these space restrictions. Both MAJ Robert J. Sauers and
LT Christopher Keene were active in professional activities. They
attended a two-day workshop, "Topics in MMPI-2 Interpretation." LT
Keene volun te ered group counseling services to The Citadel/Burke
High Schoo l Project Challenge and attended a Drug Seminar at the
College of William and Mary.
MAJ Sauers assumed the additional
responsibil i ties of Assist~nt to the Dean of Undergraduate Studies.

countries. The foreign countries represented in the corps of Cadets
are England, Honduras, Jordan, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Panama, and
Thailand.

R.

Admissions

The 1989-90 entering freshmen class was the smallest in
recent years.
This occurred because of a reduction in the number
of overflow spaces outside the barracks and because of the
construction taking place on campus. The entering class had one of
the highest percent of in-state students (54%) for the 1980's. The
academic profile was excellent.
The average on the SAT was 1010,
average GPR was 3.0 out of a 4.0, and the class rank averaged in the
top 1/3.
Thirty-three states were represented and 40 counties in
South Carolina.
Business Administration continued to be the most
popular major followed by Political Science and Engineering . Seven
percent (7%) of the entering class were minority students, an
increase over the last several years. The veterans program had an
increase in $tudents.
This was aided by the increase of Marine
Enlisted Commissioning Education Program (MECEP) students.
They
have, over the last several years, become more interested in The
Citadel as the institution to further their education .
There wa$
also an increase in the number of prospective students visiting the
campus.
Over 900 took advantage of the overnight visitation
program.
The recruiting program was aided by the services of mauy of
our alumni who voluntarily attended college day programs and
organized visits to the campus.
The Cadet Corps continues to be
the best spokesman for the admissions/recruiting process.
The
cadet-to-prospective student dialogue is crucial in allowing th e
prospective student to understand the lifestyle and opportunities
available on campus.

Scholarship

Academic scholarships are a significant attraction to highly
qualified high school graduates. They also serve as an incentive
for cadets already enrolled in the Corps to make the extra efforts
to achieve academic excellence and superior all-around student
records in order to compete for the awards available to them.
For the Academic Year 1989-90, awards were made to 113
freshmen, 87 rising sophomores, 130 rising juniors, and 126 rising
seniors. A total of 456 academic scholarships, ranging in value
from $100 for one year to all expenses for four years, were awarded.
The total value of these scholarships was $861,349.
The average
award for all students was $1,809. The academic scholarships are
awarded on the basis of academic standing, leadership, and other
attributes desirable for members of the Corps of Cadets.
In addition to the academic scholarships, 179 cadets held ROTC
scholarships. 70 of the ROTC scholarships were awarded by the Army
program, 73 were Naval and, 36 were Air Force scholarships. ROTC
scholarships pay fees, tuition, books, and laboratory costs, and
they give each recipient $100 a month for 10 months of the year.
Total monetary value of the ROTC scholarships was $776,328, plus
$1,000 a year per recipient.
Under Category IV (outside scholarships) 105 students received
$114,161.

T.

Student Aid Program

Under the authorization of the Higher Education Act of 1958,
as amended, The Citadel continued to operate seven major Federally
funded programs during the 1989-90 year: Pell Grant (PELL), Perkins
Loan (Formally National Direct Student Loan (NDSL], Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), College Work-Study (CWS), the
Stafford Loan (STAF), the Plus Loan (PLUS), and Student Loan
Supplement (SLS).
These programs have assisted students with
$2,069,294.
As a supplement to these programs, The Citadel provided aid
to 86 students in the amount of $99,000. The main contributors to
this supplement have been The Citadel Development Foundation (CDF),
through loans and grants, and Stackhouse Loan Program. Under the
CDF Loans, 16 students were assisted with $25,000, and under the CDF
grants, 68 students were aided with $71,000; Stackhouse loans in the
amount of $3,000 were awarded to 2 students.
PELL

During the 1989-90 year, the PELL program has made awards,
ranging from $200 to $2,300, available to 270 students for a total
of $371,637.
This was an increase of $19,277 from the previous
year. This increase was due to Congress' appropriation of more
money for this program and adjustments in formulas used to determine
44

�the amount of money for which students were eligible.

PERKINS LOAN (PERK)
The average loan under the PERK program this year was $1,299.
This program aided 49 stud£nts who were awarded $63,650 in loans.
Our delinquent NDSL and PERK accounts continue to be collected
by Todd Bremer, and Lawson.
In addition to the professional
collector, the state of South Carolina permits the State Treasurer
to withhold tax refunds of borrowers who are in default. Names of
defaulted borrowers were reported to the Treasurer for collection.
SEOG

The SEOG program, which made money available to our most needy
students, assisted 45 students with grants totaling $21,650. The
average of these awards was $481. Changes in the law requires the
institution to match 5% of money awarded in this program with
institutional grant money. This match was made with CDF grant money
to SEOG recipients.

CW'S

This program allowed 40 students $22,000 during the past
school year. These students were paid minimum wage, $3.35 per hour
until April 1990. At this time minimum wage increased to $3.80 per
hour. In April 1991 minimum wage will increase to $4.00. Also this
year the institutional's required matching funds for the program
increased from 20% to 25%.

GSL

Under this program, 371 students applied for loans, and these
students were granted $859,958 in long term, low interest loans.
All loans, regardless of income, required a need analysis. This has
reduced aid for which students have in the past qualified. With the
need analysis required for everyone, aid through this program will
continue to decrease in the coming year.

PLUS
Through this program parents were eligible to borrow up to
$4,000 per year.
Repayment began 60 days after the check was
written, and the payment was a minimum of $60 per month. Of those
applying 178 families utilized this program and received $625,399.

4-5

�SLS
For students whose parents were turned down for a Plus Loan
and for independent students, this loan was developed. The terms
are identical to those of the PLUS except that a student may defer
repayment until after he gets out of school. This year 36 students
used the program and received $105,000.

TLP
Eight (8) students who were Education majors and plan to teach
in South Carolina have qualified for $29,793. Through this program,
the loan may be cancelled on a percentage basis for the number of
years taught in low income schools or in a critical subject area.

PRIVATE LOANS
In 1989-90 a number of students who could not qualify for
Stafford Loans have used private loans (Teri, Excel, Concern, etc.).
These programs allow a student or parent to borrow up to $28,000 per
year based on credit rating.
Thirty-two (32) students received
assistance amounting to $1000,642 through these programs .
U.

Information Resources Management

Computing at The Citadel continued to progress during the
1989-90 school year, though at a slower pace than in the two
preceding years .
The college's central VAX computer system was
upgraded for the third time in three years, one new lab was opened,
and an on-line service request system and two more administrative
systems were implemented. In addition, IRM was organized into four
units--VAX Network Operations, Hardware Support Services, Software
Support Services, and Administrative Information Systems. Finall,
The Citadel's computing environment was featured in the cover story
of the Spring 1990 issue of Cause/ Effect magazine.
VAX Network Operations
As the year began the hub of The Citadel's campuswide network
consisted of two clustered Digital Equipment Corporation computers-a VAX 6320 and a VAX 8530. In January the 6320 was upgraded to a
6420, which increased the cluster's total computing power by twothiras. This upgrade was again funded by a grant from the Citadel
Development Foundation and was necessary to support the continuing
implementation of the college's library automation system and the
increasing faculty and student use. During an average weekday about
70 people are logged into the VAX network most of the day.
During the course of the year, Hardware Support Services staff
connected 100 more microcomputers and terminals to the VAX network,
raising the total from 300 to 400 .
However , the large-scale
46

�extension of the network into the barracks was delayed.
Fortunately no core VAX network components were damaged by Hurricane
Hugo, and network operations resumed as soon as electrical service
was restored.

Hardware Support Services
The weather did keep Hardware Support Services staff playing
catch-up most of the year. The summer · began with a series of severe
lightning storms that damaged more than 100 microcomputers and
terminals connected to the VAX network. July, August, and the first
half of September were spent repairing these devices and installing data-line surge suppressors to prevent future damage.
Surprisingly, Hurricane Hugo caused considerably less damage
to Citadel computing equipment than did the earlier lightning
storms.
This was primarily due to the preventive efforts of
Hardware Support Services technicians, who spent the two days before
Hugo wrapping microcomputers, terminals, and printers in heavy
plastic bags.
This preparation paid off, as drenched ceilings
buried computer equipment in scores of faculty and staff offices,
especially in Bond Hall.
Even so, recovering from Hugo consumed most of Hardware
Support Service's energies throughout the fall and well into the
new year.
Faculty and staff computers and VAX connections had to
be moved to temporary locations while damaged offices were reconstructed.
A new VAX terminal lab was set up in Capers Hall to
accommodate students who were displaced when administrative staff
moved into two labs in Bond Hall.
Finally, as offices were
repaired, everything had to be moved back and reconnected!

Software Support Services
The main mission of Software Support Services is to help
students, faculty, and staff learn how to use computers more
effectively and efficiently--primarily by publishing a series of
easy-to-use software user's guides and by teaching 20 to 30 IBM,
Macintosh, and VAX courses a semester.
During the past year, however, Software Support Services staff
completed three other projects that also furthered this goal. The
first was to use DOS 4. 0 to develop a standard menu and file
structure system for IBM personal computers.
This system has now
been installed campuswide and is helping users activate software
programs, connect to the VAX network, and retrieve data files more
quickly.
In March, Software Support Services also implemented a new VAX
software
package
called
HOTLINE.
This
on-line
service
request/inquiry system enables users to describe a problem or
explain what they need on a simple screen, and then their request

47

�is automatically routed to the person who is primarily responsible
for providing or coordinating this service.
At present about 250
service requests are being received each month by IRM and Procurement Services, and this number should rise significantly as
other service-providing departments start using HOTLINE.
Finally in June Software Support Services published the first
issue of a monthly newsletter called Citadel Computing News.
The
purpose of this newsletter is simply to provide useful, timely
information to Citadel VAX, IBM, and Macintosh users. So far, both
HOTLINE and Citadel Computing News have been well received.

Administrative Information Systems
Despite the interruptions and dislocations caused by Hurricane Hugo, college administrative departments continued to implement Series Z, a comprehensive, interactive, integrated administrative software system developed by Information Associates of Rochester, New York.
During the fall the alumni module was implemented, and in the spring both the financial aid and purchasing
modules were implemented.
Work continues on the personnel, fixed
assets, degree auditing, and executive information systems.
As Series Z systems are implemented, administrative departments become responsible for directly entering their data into the
college's central computers. But these departments also need to be
able quickly and easily to produce lists, labels, reports, and
analyses based on this data.
Thus last summer The Citadel purchased a software package called FOCUS, which enables people who
are not computer programmers to retrieve the information they need
from Series Z. Staff throughout the college have done an excellent
job of learning and using FOCUS, and this is one reason several
colleges have visited The Citadel during the past year to observe
and discuss Series Z operations.

V.

Daniel Library

A number of library programs and initiatives
increased access to and use of library resources
information databases as follows:

this year
and online

(1)
The DRA circulation module became fully operational by the beginning of the fiscal year.
Library staff know
instantly the status of any book and may renew, reserve, or change
the status of any item. Notices, fine calculations, and statistical reports are now generated automatically. This has reduced
backlogs of books waiting for discharging and shelving, thereby
increasing availability of books to students.

(2) The DRA acquisition module was coupled with the FRS
procurement system by the end of the fiscal year. Books and other

48

�library materials are now ordered through the system and patrons
know instantly books that are on order.
(3) The automated system has increased both library use
and borrowing over last year and should continue to do so because
students and faculty may conveniently learn the availability and
complete bibliographic information of any book or videotape ordered
or cataloged by the library from any of hundreds of VAX terminals
on campus.
Total borrowing outside of the library also increased
slightly from 37,636 to 39,550 but in-house use has tripled in some
counts and by all observable measures.
(4)
Plans to network with the automated systems of
the College of Charleston, Trident Technical College, and the
Charleston County Public Library which also use the DRA system and
the Medical University, which does not, were initiated by the
consortium library directors. Electronic transmission of requests,
telefacsimile transmission of articles and daily courier service
now make library material available within minutes for urgent
requests of reference material to hours normally for student and
faculty requests. These services have resulted in a doubling of
consortium transactions for periodical articles and books from
roughly 1110 to 2220 during the fiscal year.
(5) Two high-use databases on CD-ROM or Compact Disk-Read Only Memory (Books In Print and ERIC) were acquired for test
searching by librarians. Use was so successful that these databases
should be transferred from a library workstation to the VAX network
for access to dictionaries, encyclopedias, directories, and indexes
by students and faculty from VAX terminals in the next fiscal year.
(6)
The library's new collection of 325 videotapes,
acquired and cataloged this year for the first time, proved to be
the most popular type of material with students and faculty.
Two
TV/VCR units were donated by Films Incorporated and one acquired
for viewing videotapes.
(7) The library has responded to the need for library
skills instruction by developing a self-paced, library workbook with
exercises.
All freshmen cadets, beginning in Fall 1989 thereby
learn about library services and how to use the online catalog,
indexes, abstracts, and specialized reference tools. This program ·
is expected to further increase library use.
The library added 4,350 books (titles), 11,264 government
documents, 31,660 micromedia pieces, 325 video tapes, and 152
periodical subscriptions to bring the total titles to the following totals:
203,171
90,291
325
578,557
1,682

book volumes (162,826 titles)
government documents

micromedia pieces (film/fiche).
current periodical subscriptions.

49

�The library faculty continued working with four departments in using
the conspectus methodology to identify gaps in the collections that
correspond to curriculum needs. This method more closely identifies
books that should be used by students in their research.
The library faculty were active in scholarly and professional
activities.
LTC Wood remained chair of the library consortium
through December and was elected President of the South Carolina
Data Research Users Group which h~ founded in 1989 and read a paper
entitled "The Conspectus as a Collection Development Tool for
College Libraries and Consortia," on May 16, 1990 at the First
National Conference on Acquisitions, Budgets, and Collections in
St. Louis. LTC Edmund Maynard received a CDF Faculty Achievement
award for his activities including service on CATPA, publishing "A
case study of faculty attitudes toward library instruction" in
Reference Services Review, doctoral level graduate study at Nova
University, expert system research, implementation of the ATLAS
automated circulation module, and assumption of acting library
director and other library responsibilities throughout the year.
Major Sherman Pyatt's book, Apartheid, 1979-1988, was published by
Garland Press.
All librarians contributed to a wide range of
important library college, state, consortium or other professional
committees and performed scholarly activities too numerous to list
here . There was no change in library faculty complement from last
year except that Elizabeth Carter's status changed from adjunct
faculty to a classified librarian status with rank of Lieutenant
beginning 1 July 1990.
Library Science 570, Library Automation, was taught by LTC
Wood during the Fall semester. LSCI 580, Graphic and Photographic
Design and Production was taught by Ms. Jo Smith during the First
Summer Session.

Archives-Museum

The Archives-Museum collects, preserves, interprets and
displays historic material pertaining to The Citadel. The Archives
maintains the manuscript and photographic collections and the Museum
manages the artifacts.
The Museum was closed for extensive reorganization during this
fiscal year. Non-Citadel exhibits/artifacts were deaccessioned, and
new exhibits were designed to chronicle the history of the Citadel
as an institution. These projects are the result of a decision made
in 1989 by General Grimsley and the Board of Visitors to have the
Museum and its collections represent only the college's history.
The displays in the Museum are arranged chronologically in
seven divisions.
Within each division, the academic, military,
social and athletic aspects of cadet life are featured.
In
addition, the presidents, special events, and changes in the cadet
uniform are exhibited. The divisions are:
50

�1842-1861
1861-1865
1865-1882
1882-1908
1908-1931
1931-1953
1953-Present

Early Years
Civil War
Union Occupation
Re-Opening
Bond Era
Summerall Era
Modern Era

Approximately thirty researchers visited the Archives during
the year. The papers of General Summerall, Mark Clark and Ellison
Capers were used extensively.
In addition, numerous oral and
written requests were received on topics ranging from the Rapido
River conflict of World War II to the architecture of the Old
Citadel on Marion Square.
Ms. Jane Yates, Archivist and Museum Director, was acknowledged for her assistance in Cadets in Gray by Gary Baker (Columbia,
S.C.: Palmetto Bookworks, 1989) and also in "Palmetto Soldiers: An
Album of South Carolina Confederate Soldiers", Military Images MayJune 1990 by John Bigham.

Donations to the Archives-Museum included Citadel memorabilia and Citadel uniforms.

Greater Issues and John C. Yest Lecture

Owing to campus damage and disruption caused by Hugo, there
was no fall Greater Issues Address. In the spring of 1990, General
Alfred M. Gray, Commandant, USMC, addressed the corps of cadets
concerning defense issues of the 1990's vis-a-vis the Marine Corps.
General Andrew J. Goodpaster, U.A. Army (Ret.), member of the
Advisory Committee to the Board of Visitors and former Citadel
faculty member, gave the John C. West lecture on the topic of what
the recent developments in Europe mean for the United States.

Writing Center

The Writing Center continues to serve the college community
with a variety of services.
Almost 9 , 000 visits were recorded.
This has been the most productive year to date in meeting the needs
of those wi t h writing deficiencies. Also, thanks to a generous CDF
grant, a much-needed Reading/Study Skills pilot program was
initiated.
USERS:
Freshmen remain the primary users: 4,029, visits
this term which includes 53% of the class receiving individualized
t utoring.
Sophomores, seniors, and graduate students comprise the
largest number of users after freshmen.
Faculty/staff use swelled
to 395 indicating an increased interest in writing across the
curriculum .
The Center helped with the Burke Project and other
community endeavors.
SERVICES:
Writing instruction increased by 1600 hours .
Writing workshops also increased from 17 to 35 because of the high
demand. Word processing use continues to decrease as IRM labs meet
students' needs , but with 22 workshops The Center met most word
processing instructional needs. Resume assistance remains popular
with seniors and graduate students. The Writing HOTLINE stays busy,
between 250 and 300 calls per year.
Reading and Study Skills
tutorials and workshops have been added for additional academic
support services . The Pilot Project offered 154 hours of instruction , serving 102 students.
Initial testing indicate that more
students at The Citadel suffer academic difficulties from lack of
effective study skills than from lack of basic reading skills.
Long-range plans continue to be the same: to upgrade the
quality of writing on campus and in the community. We also expect
to expand the new Reading/Study Skills program.
SPECIAL ACTIVITIES:
The Center began publication of a
newsletter , The Write Track, and during the year The Citadel and
the College of Charleston co-sponsored the first meeting of S.C.
Writing Centers The director attended several conferences and served
52

�as a consultant to a number of academic institutions regarding their
writing centers.

ADMINISTRATION

General

Hurricane Hugo's attack on 22 September predominated the
campus this school year.
Bond Hall and Barracks 2 and 4 suffered
the greatest amount of damage, with major roof damage and
accompanying water damage. Roofs on faculty quarters and Summerall
Chapel sustained substantial damage.
Our electrical distribution
system, beach house, stadium, boating center facilities, trees and
pavements were also heavily damaged.
An operations center was
established for the recovery operation, and in cooperation with the
National Guard and other volunteers, the campus was ready for the
return of cadets on 4 October.
The initial estimates for damages
were in the $20 million range, however, estimates now have been
established at $6,637,018.
Of that amount, our insurance has
settled for $4,214,187, and the remainder less $173,305 is our FEMA
claim of $2,249,526.

only minor work remaining.
The facility is being utilized and a
number of activities have taken place in it this year to include:
basketball games, the inauguration ceremony of our new president,
the commencement ceremony, and professional wrestling matches.
The $4.7 million Alumni Hall Replacement Project contract was
awarded. Work is progressing sati1sfactorily on the new Electrical

The Barracks Room Renovation Project (Face Lift) was bid on
29 May 1990 with a low bid of $589,300 for Barracks 4 and an
alternate of $499,000 for renovation of Barracks 3.
The Board of
Visitors determined that the base bid would be approved with the
proviso that the administration seek means of reducing the cost of
the project.
As a part of the project, but divorced from the
construction,
is the repair and repainting of the barracks
furniture.
This is underway and is being accomplished by Prison
Industries. Only Barracks 4 will be completed this summer, however ,
repair and repainting of the furniture in Barracks 3 will continue
throughout the school year utilizing a float of barracks furniture.
Revenues in the Cadet Store and Canteen Activities have
continued to increase this past year. Canteen Department revenues
exceeded $1,500,000, and revenue collections for the Cadet Store
totaled $2,178,000. This was accomplished in the Cadet Store even
with a smaller freshman class, and it was the best the Canteen has
ever done despite two major football weekends being moved to
Columbia, SC because of Hurricane Hugo damages to our stadium.

a.

Personnel

1)
The Physical Plant was reorganized to
provide zone maintenance personnel to individual buildings on the
campus.
The zone maintenance personnel oversee the repair,
maintenance and custodial work required in the buildings of their
assignment .
They are capable of doing the day-to day repair and
maintenance work, but have to rely on Physical Plant as a whole for

55

�more complicated work. Zone maintenance has elevated the building
appearance and condition, and comments from building occupants where
zone maintenance is underway have been favorable.
Plans call for
bringing zone maintenance to all campus buildings next school year.
2)
The Physical Plant accounting technician
retired and was replaced from within the organization. A new work
order clerk was hired .
The Director of Physical Plant and two
Trades Sup e rvisors submitted their resignations .

FRS purchasing system introduced this year by Procurement Services .
Plant staff members attended workshops and formal courses relating
to Asbestos Inspection , Hazardous Material Storage and Handling,
Automotive Repair and Indoor Air Quality Control.
Staff members
were licensed as Asbestos Program Managers and Abatement Workers .
Follow-up physicals were administered to workers who had been
certified for small asbestos projects in previous years.

Plant Equipment
The

following vehicles were purchased for

the

plant fleet:
1 new sedan

Athletic Affairs

What a year! 1989-90 proved to be one of peaks and valleys happiness and heartache, including the effects of Hurricane Hugo
and the World Series express. A historic football first - playing
two home games in Williams Brice Stadium in Columbia, a second
straight win over Navy, and finally, the toll that Hugo took on our
season.
Basketball had a competitive season with heartbreaking losses,
but the newly renovated McAlister Field House was showcased to
Clemson and South Carolina fans, as well as all Southern Conference
schools.
Soccer had a successful season despite the hurricane's
interruption, and wrestling was highlighted by John Jones winning
the Southern Conference championship and advancing to the NCAA
championship .
Tennis did not win quite as much as the previous year, but the
schedule was upgraded and without question was the toughest in the
history of the school.
Once again, track managed to break more school records and the
golf team had a much-improved season.
The big story was a Cinderella year in baseball that was
detailed throughout the nation by our great performances in the NCA.'\
Regionals in Miami and the World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
In retrospect, it was a great year, with ninety-one scholdrathletes on the athletic director's honor roll - solid graduation
rates and the earned respect from other schools around the nation.
We are definitely proud of The Citadel's athletic program in 198990.

Personnel Services:

During Fiscal Year 1989-90, the Personnel Department continued
to provide full service to Citadel faculty and staff in all aspects
of personnel administration and management.
Although one new
position was added to the Personnel Department Staff, the individual
selected for the position was subsequently selected for another
position on campus and was transferred and promoted accordingly.
The department is still understaffed and housed in an inadequate
facility when considering the new programs and functions which
continued to be assigned to the department.
Following are
significant accomplishments during the year:
1.

Central Computer Services:

The Personnel Office continued to perfect the human
resource series (HRS) of the college computer. ,A Human Resource
Series
Policies and Procedures Manual has been developed and is
used to facilitate personnel services. The manual is a key tool for
the personnel staff as it outlines step-by-step actions to take when
effecting personnel requirements.
Since the HRS series is not yet
operating at full capacity, the goal for FY 1990-91 is to bring on
line such functions as applicant tracking, benefit reports to
faculty and staff, and personnel reporting requirements such as
affirmative action reports .

Public Safety
1.

Thefts:

The Department of Public Sa-f ety continued additional
efforts in the investigation of on-campus crime during the past
year, with particular emphasis in theft within the barracks.
Officer Gary
Ludwigson,
our
academy-certified
investigator,
personally followed up on every theft reported in the· barracks. The
continued effectiveness of our program is reflected in the barracks
theft statistics. A total of 40 thefts in the barracks was reported
and investigated during the past school year.
This represents a
decrease of 29.8% from the number of thefts (57) reported during SY
88-89. Since initiating this program two years ago, barracks thefts
have decreased by a phenomenal 44.4%.
A total of $4,447.00 was reported stolen.
$1,384 of
this amount was in cash.
The remainder consisted of clothing,
jewelry, equipment, and similar items.
31 of the thefts involved
items or money left unsecured in the room when it was taken.
The
barracks thefts were concentrated in the 1st and 3rd battalions: 1st
Battalion, 12 thefts; 2nd Battalion, 6 thefts; 3rd Battalion, 17
thefts; and 4th Battalion 5 thefts.
Bicycle thefts continued at last year's all time low
rate.
We lost only one bicycle (a faculty bicycle which was
unregistered and unsecured).
This compares with only one stolen ·
last year and 6 stolen in 1987-88.
A total of 23 vehicles were entered by thieves during
the year. The vehicles were rarely locked at the time of the theft.
Items totaling $7,641.00 were reported taken.
Most of the items
taken were articles of civilian clothing. The area in the vicinity
of Summerall gate was the hardest hit with 17 of the thefts reported
at that location.
The fence was down in this area following
Hurricane Hugo and it was several weeks after the cadets returned
before it was completely repaired.
Many of the thefts occurred
during this period.
75

�There were no thefts involving breaking and entering
reported from the buildings on campus; however, weights worth $250
were reported missing from Deas Hall due to a door which could not
be secured by the staff.
2.

Vehicle Registration and Parking:

A total of 2,760 vehi~les were registered to park on
campus consisting of 1,150 cadet vehicles, 607 faculty and staff
vehicles and 1,003 vehicles belonging to Day and Evening students.
There were 1,199 parking citations issued.
This is a decrease of
206 from the previous year.
Of these 1,199 citations, 131 were
voided upon appeal. The major difference between this year and last
was the dramatic decrease in cadet violations. Only 410 citations
were issued to cadets as contrasted to 839 last year. This is the
first year that more parking citations were issued to persons other
than cadets than to cadets.
The most comprehensive parking study in the past 10
years was prepared by the Department of Public Safety.
Maj or
changes in cadet and faculty parking resulted from this study.
Graduation parking for the ceremony held in McAlister
Field House was the smoothest and most efficient in the past 15
years.
3.

Building Inspections:

The Department of Public Safety conducted over 13,200
building inspections during the past year.
4.

Lost and Found:

The owners of 33 of the 86 items turned in to Lost and
Found were identified and their lost property returned to them.
5.

Training:

The intensive training program within the department has
continued during this past year. All officers are ahead of schedule
in the in-service training now mandated by South Carolina Law for
continued certification.
Sergeant Bowers became only the second
woman certified as a S.C. Criminal Justice Academy Firearms
Instructor.
She has successfully trained and certified all of the
department's officers.
Sergeant Bowers also completed the Field
Training Officer instruction course during the past year. Officer
Jack Ferrell has been designated as the department Field Training
Officer and has completed the basic one-week instructor course at
the academy.
He and Officer James Gibson are now preparing an
extensive field training curriculum to standardize on-job training
of all Public Safety Officers. It is anticipated that this will be
completed during the Fall semester. Four of our officers completed
the basic 8-week law enforcement officer course at the South
76

�Carolina Criminal Justice Academy during the past year.
officer is scheduled to attend this summer.
6.

One more

Uniforms:

Foul weather gear was purchased for all officers
following Hurricane Hugo when the inadequacy of two sets of "standby" rain gear became apparent.
7.

Miscellaneous Services:

Public Safety officers gave over 100 jump starts to
individuals with dead batteries during the year.
Most of these
involved cadet vehicles.
In addition, over 63 cars were unlocked
for individuals who had inadvertently locked their keys inside.
Over 2,000 ID cards were made for cadets, faculty,
staff, contractors, and dependent children of faculty and staff
personnel.
Officer Ludwigson set up and manned a booth on safe
driving and personal security at the Wellness Day on campus.
Sergeant Bowers was requested by name to give a
presentation at the Southeast Regional Meeting of the International
Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators on her
experiences as the ranking law enforcement officer on campus during
Hurricane Hugo.
Her presentation also covered the damage of the
storm to the campus and the evacuation of the student body.
She
used slide;s, videos, and posters to illustrate her talk.
Her
performance received excellent ratings from the campus law
enforcement chiefs at the meeting.

Auxiliary Activities
1.

Cadet Store

School Year 1989-90 was another very successful year for
the Cadet Store. Revenue has continued to increase as it has each
year for the last 20 years, including the years of low enrollment
and small freshman classes. Revenue collections for SY 1989-90 as
of 25 May 1990 amounted to $2,178,000.
The enhancement equipment
and Model 70 IBM computer has increased the efficiency of the Cadet
Store operation.
The Cadet Store continues to sell IBM and Apple
computers through an educational discount program, and is now in the
process of working out an agreement with some software companies to
develop a program to special order software for students and
faculty/staff at discount prices.
Effective 1 April 1990, the Cadet Store successfully
tied in to The Citadel mainframe purchasing module, thereby
providing the store the capability of creating their own purchase
77

�orders for resale items.
2.

Dining Services

ARA Services continues to provide excellent service for
the Corps of Cadets and the Administration. Family-style meals are
served to approximately 2,000 cadets during the school year and to
approximately 1,350 campers attending Palmetto Boys State and Summer
Additionally, cafeteria-style
Camp for Boys during the summer.
meals are served in the summer · to summer school students and
children enrolled in Citadel athletic camps. Food Service is also
provided for approximately 700 catered functions during the year,
such as pre-game buffets at the President's House, receptions, class
reunions, alumni activities and Board of Visitors activities, and
for approximately 500 student functions, such as cookouts, box
lunches, club dinners, and regimental functions.

The Dining Services have functioned exceptionally well
during regular and emergency situations this year. In the aftermath
of Hurricane Hugo at the start of the cleanup effort, Mr. Elton
Coleman, Director of Dining Services, and his staff gathered in the
mess hall and, after temporary power was restored, they provided
three meals a day for campus residents and employees working in the
restoration of the campus.
In addition, they provided facilities
for the National Guard for meals and provided meals for contractor
personnel working on campus and for elements of Army and Marine
Corps units.
3.

Infirmary

The Infirmary had a very good year. The Department of
Health and Environmental Control conducted its annual inspection of
the Infirmary and no medical violations were found, however, the
Infirmary was given one year to repair a rear storage room that was
damaged by Hurricane Hugo.
Fire inspections and drug inspections
by DHEC in the Infirmary were satisfactory.
The Corps of Cadets
had fewer significant illnesses in School Year 1989-90 than in
previous years as indicated in the report that follows.
The flu
vaccine was offered, but had very little response.

having claims. Laundry was also processed for the U.S. Army, Marine
Corps and the National Guard during this period. No other laundries
in the area were operational.
The bid for automatic pant presses was awarded to
Texchine Inc. of Chapin, SC for a total costs of $86,356.20.
Delivery of the four units is scheduled for the week of 30 July.
The new rotary screw air compressor, purchased from Edmac Compressor
Co. of Columbia, SC for a total cost of $10,706.85, has been
received and is in the process of being installed.
Employees attended computer courses
Citadel on various programs utilized on campus.

offered by The

Tailor Shop

The Tailor Shop enjoyed a successful school year as a
service auxiliary to the College along with a good overall
efficiency and operating in the black. Revenue was down somewhat
due to a smaller freshman class.
543 incoming freshmen were measured, fitted and altered
finishing in early March. Due to Hurricane Hugo, Parents Day was
delayed for quite some time, which backed up deliveries to freshmen.
79

�The Department sustained minimal damage from Hugo, with no damage
to uniforms, equipment and other items housed inside. All uniforms
that were damaged by Hugo were brought in from the barracks after
the storm, processed, and made ready for the return of the Corps.
The annual inventory audit was held 29 June, revealing
$67,702.05 in live stock which will be incorporated into fittings
for the Clas s of 1994. Stock levels are high due to carrying more
advanced s to ck in some areas to support early needs of the Corps and
the critical deadline for Parents Day.
The Navy ROTC contract was completed in late April with
44 contract students participating.
The Blazer Ensemble program
dropped off drastically from last year with only 114 cadets
participating . Another measuring period for Blazer Ensembles is
scheduled in September. Contracts have been firmed with Thorngate
Uniforms for the Class of 94 and Kuppenheimer Men's Clothiers for
Blazer Ensembles for the Class of 1992 . Tarriff sizes have been
ordered for advance stock and is coming in daily.
The summer work program and storage is near completion
with 7,243 pieces of uniforms being processed, which includes
repair , class striping and rank chevron installation. Uniforms are
also dry-cleaned, mothproofed and pressed and made ready for the
return of the Corps in August.
The summer work program will
generate approximately $26,000 in revenue for the Tailor Shop.
The Master Craftsman and Seamster Supervisor attended
the Supervisory Development Seminar in May.
Managed attended
classes and are fully operational on the new procurement module
within the FRS system . The director, Mr. Murray, made a visit to
the Uniform Manufacturing facilities in Norristown , PA, in May for
an on-hands look at the people who have been producing the cadet
uniforms for over 30 years.
6.

Print Shop

The Print Shop this year has completed the installation
of the new typesetting system . With the addition of the Varityper
Laser typesetter, we now have a modern, efficient, speedy method of
preparing all printing. The two color press added last year and the
automated binding system installed three years ago has b.een
performing to our highest expectations. This equipment has allowed
the Print Shop to do jobs that were in the past sent to other shops.
Production has been increased approximately $50,000 over
last year, with most of the increase being done the last half of the
ye ar.
More of this type of work will be brought in during FY199091.

Summer Camp for Boys

1.
The Citadel Summer Camp for Boys opened its 34th year
on 17 June 1990, with Colonel John P. Smyth and Captain Dale R.
80

�Dittmer serving as Director and Deputy Director respectively .
2.
Camp enrollment increased by 10%, with 30 new campers
recruited by former or returning campers.
For First Session, 161
boys graduated, including 37 sons of alumni.
Second Session
enrollment still stands at 196, for a total of 357 campers in the
1990 program.
3•
$2 500 in scholarships were awarded to
counselors i n 1990 . First Session recipients were:
I

campers

and

First Honor Graduates
Brian Kucaba, camper from
Spartanburg, SC, and Gibb Little, camper from Irmo, SC.
Outstanding Counselor - Keith Dillingham ('91), cadet
from Summerville, SC
Second Session recipients will be announced after the 4 August
graduation exercises.
4.
The camp purchased a wide-screen, video projector to
help reduce costs for video rentals.
A new activity, Fitness and
Games, replaced Bowling as a result of the renovations to Mark Clark
Hall.
First Session campers and counselors also attended the Bob
Hope Save the Yorktown Benefit in McAlister Field House on 3 July
1990 .
5.
The camp employed 49 cadets, alumni, and junior
counselors for the summer.
Utilizing the barracks and other
facilities that would otherwise be dormant over the summer, the camp
also continues to support the college by financially assisting : the
Canteen and Gift Shop, the Cadet Store, the Boating Center, the
Health and Physical Education Department, campus dining facilities,
laundry services, the Infirmary, and Physical Plant through
contributions, utilization fees, equipment purchases, etc. The camp
also contributed $3,000 to the President's Discretionary Fund at the
end of the 1989 camp.
L.

Canteen Activities.

The Canteen Activities Department has had a successful sales
year .
Department revenues exceeded $1,500,000 . 00 as of May 1990.
These receipts are the best the department has ever accomplished.
This years success was the result of employee dedication and the
support of all the Citadel Family, including the Charleston
community.
Hurricane Hugo was a setback that The Citadel overcame,
including this department.
Whenever our two home football games
were moved to Columbia, SC, our staff packed up merchandise and
moved to the USC Stadium to sell during the games .
The Corps have continued to utilize the convenience of our QM
Charge System; this school year cadets charged $421,680.00 (figure
81

�does include haircuts charged in the Barber Shop).
This Fiscal Year administrative costs and rent were charged
to the department. This was an expense not before charged and now
makes this department totally self supporting. The $71,463.00 was
a significant change factor for the department's profits.
Our
expenditures this year also included:
1)
2)
3)

M.

$8,500.00 for equipment improvements
$8,000.00 to support the Faculty House
$225,000.00 to support Student Activities and Athletic
Operations to include scholarships.

Intramural Sports

The Intramural Sports Program enjoyed another year of full
participation in all phases .
LTC Eugene Lesesne and Graduate
Assistant Harm Larnaker led the Corps to continued prominence in the
National Honorary Athletic Fraternity, Sigma Delta Psi.
Five new
members and one repeat member qualified for the Corps Epsilon Beta
Chapter in 1989-90.
This led the nation in new members.
Arthur
John Lontoc won the award for Outstanding Intramural Athletic
Officer and Jonathan Taggart Daniels was selected as the Outstanding
Intramural Athletic Sergeant.
Darrell John Creedon won the award
for the Outstanding Intramural Athlete of 1989-90.
Cadet William
May was awarded the Most Outstanding Intramural Referee Award; this
was a new award designed to improve intramural referees. Cadet L.
C. Younce was selected to be the Regimental Athletic Officer for the
1990-91 school year.
H Company won the Regimental Intramural
Championship and the accompanying Board of Visitors' trophy and
plaque.
Bowling was not featured as an Intramural Sport for the
Corps this year, as the Bowling Lanes were permanently closed . Two
new sports were added to replace bowling:
Horseshoes on pits
constructed by the Intramural Department and Billiards in Mark Clark
Hall.
The Citadel Sports Clubs were successful in presenting
opportunities for cadet participation and in representing the
college in 17 intercollegiate activities. The Lacrosse Club won 10
of their 14 games scheduled. The Pistol Club again brought national
recognition to The Citadel with a National Championship in the ROTC
Division and third in the overall Open Championships.
Pistol
qualified five shooters for the Olympic Training Camp . Rugby, under
the coaching of LTC Porch and David Lane, had a good year, winning
against USC but losing a close game to Clemson for the State
Championship.
The Sailing Club continues to improve.
They were
victorious over the College of Charleston and ended the season in
second place overall in their conference.
This high finish will
qualify them for several national races during the corning school
year.
The Civil Air Patrol Club was not able to attend the state
competition this year due to Hugo.
The Crew Club participated in
a Regatta in Augusta that included teams from Europe and England .
The Martial Arts Clubs continue to grow in number. Boxing was not

included a win over VMI for the Silver Saber. This was the Club's
first win over VMI .
The SCUBA Club was reinstated under the
leadership of LTC Speicher this year and qualified 35 members as
open water divers. The Lacrosse Club continues to be successful in
their competition with a winning record again this year.
The
Skydiving Club received some needed new equipment this year in a
purchase of $30,000 worth of material for $5 , 000 from the USC Club .
The Cadet Corps was active in Intramurals, Club Sports and
Varsity Sports this year with 98.4 percent of the cadets taking part
in some form of athletics.

83

�FINANCIAL MATTERS

A.

General

Without question, the most significant event of Fiscal Year
1989-90 was Hurricane Hugo.
Hugo not only inundated our offices
with water and cut off all power to our computer system, but it
caused a maj or drain on our cash ace.aunt in order to accomplish the
approximately $2 million worth of emergency repairs required to
restore the college to full operational status. The college staff
received excellent support from the staff and insurance adjustors
working for the Budget &amp; Control Board's Division of Insurance
Services. We have received the first two distributions of payments
from our insurance claims and are still working closely with the
Division of Insurance Services staff and the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) staff to close out all pending claims and
receive reimbursement for Hugh-related expenses.
Fiscal Year 1989-90 saw a slight retreat in the level of state
fund~ng for the higher education formula. After increasing to 93%
funding in 1988-89, the General Assembly was only able to provide
about 92 . 68% funding for 1989-90.
This forced the college to
provide no funding for equipment replacement or purchases with the
exception of computers, physical plant equipment, and boating center
equipment. The following table reflects state appropriations levels
for higher education over the past four years and shows approved
base funding for the upcoming fiscal year:

The Citadel's audit for fiscal year 1988-89 was performed by
84

�Rogers, Montgomery and Company, P.A . , Certified Public Accountants
under contract to the State Auditor.
The report was again an
unqualified report.
The same audit firm also audited The Citadel
Athletic Department under guidelines established by the NCAA and
found no major deficiencies.
Fiscal Year 1989-90 saw The Citadel begin the training on 26
March 1990 to fully implement another software module of its
administrat i ve computer system.
The new Procurement System will
significant l y modify the manner in which requisitions and purchase
orders are processed. The new system relies entirely on electronic
input by departments/activities to generate a final hard copy
purchase order for issue to the vendor.
Departments/activities
became fully operational on the new system as they completed their
scheduled training sessions with all elements of the college
scheduled to "go live" by 1 July 1990 .
The college's property manager began processing the property
records for transfer to the Information Associates, Series Z, Fixed
Assets system . The Fixed Assets system is scheduled to be brought
on-line 1 July 1990.
All new capital items after 1 July will be
automatically brought into the Fixed Assets system.
The present
records, approximately 4,400, will be converted to the new system
during the first quarter of the next fiscal year.
The Treasurer's Office was deeply involved with refining the
procedures relating to the Student Information System. During the
course of the year, this component of the administrative computing
system permitted the Treasurer to accept complete control of
receivables.
He can now have up-to-date data concerning student
payments and is able to personally contact each student who has an
outstanding balance .
The Citadel purchased and implemented a fourth generation
computer language, FOCUS.
This enabled all areas of finance to
write their own computer generated report programs.
The finance
areas were able to retrieve information quickly and in the format
needed. Because of this, reporting and reconciliations can now be
accomplished much more efficiently than in the past.
The quarterly review system continues to be an integral part
of the fiscal resource management effort at the college .
The .
extensive review of all areas of the college identified potential
shortfalls early in the year and enabled the administration to
respond appropriately.
Review actions to supplement operating
budgets are handled on a case-by-case basis and ensure that the
college operates within available fiscal resources. The college was
unable to fund other than the most essential equipment requirements
this year. State funding levels simply did not allow the "luxury"
of programmi ng replacement equipment as a matter of normal business.
The Budget and Control Board's Procurement Audit Staff
conducted an extensive audit of The Citadel's procurement system to
determine how well we complied with state procurement regulations.

85

�The audit was conducted for the period November 1986 to April 1990.
The college received a very favorable report of findings.
The
auditors support our request for an increase in our local
procurement authority to $30,000.
The Citadel's procurement staff continues to perform in an
exceptional manner within our current $10,000 local authority. The
staff processed and awarded 55 invitations for bid and one minor
construction bid without protest. ,. In addition, 10 invitations for
bid which were exempt from the State Procurement Code were processed
and awarded without protest. The procurement office was one of the
first offices open on campus after Hurricane Hugo. The procurement
staff processed in excess of 200 procurements worth $2.0 million in
support of the hurricane clean-up effort.
The Citadel continues to benefit from its designation by the
Department of Defense as a Service Educational Activity.
This
designation permits the college to gain priority access to
Department of Defense surplus property. We have obtained property
valued at more than $42,000 this fiscal year to include paints,
lubricants, and other general maintenance supplies.
The Citadel has become a recognized leader in the Charleston
area in efforts to involve Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) in
Citadel procurement activities. Our purchases from minority firms
for the first three quarters of this fiscal year total $238,912
which has surpassed our goal of $124,489.
Our efforts this year
were assisted by the needs developed as a result of Hurricane Hugo.
The Citadel staff worked closely with the State Treasurer and
the college's bond attorneys to develop the documentation required
for the refinancing of $1,350,000 of Institution Bonds, the issue
of a new $500,000 Ins ti tut ion Bond, the issue of $3,200,000 of
Revenue Bonds, and $2,000,000 of Plant Improvement Bonds.
These
bonds will support the new Cadet Dining Facility project, a
previously completed Faculty Quarters project, a project to upgrade
the Capers Hall cooling system, and a project to relocate the
roadway near Indian Hill.
The Controller's staff worked with the State Treasurer to
establish a fund which would permit the monies earned by auxiliary
activities to draw interest to the credit of The Citadel, instead
of to the credit of the State Treasurer.
A similar account was
established for contributions made on behalf of Cadet Mazyck, a
football player suffering from cancer.
Hurricane Hugo devastated all finance office areas.
Staff
offices were moved to temporary locations for approximately six
weeks. A draft payroll for 30 September 1989 was computed the night
before the hurricane struck, but checks were not printed.
The
Controller's Office staff wrote all Citadel paychecks by hand and
payday was held on Friday, 29 September, as scheduled.
For the
first two days, writing the paychecks was accomplished without the
convenience of electricity, either for lighting or operating
86

�calculators. The Treasurer's Office made special arrangements to
cash paychecks for Physical Plant personnel who were too busy
working to go off campus to banks.
The State passed legislation permitting The Citadel to
establish a foundation and transfer the current endowment funds to
that foundation.
This action will eliminate one of the problems
that has been noted in the annual audit management letter for the
past several years, i.e., that the funds should be invested by the
State Treasurer instead of The Citadel.
The Treasurer's Office assumed the responsibility for the
billing of all receivables--student, customer, and general. This
step has provided the Treasurer complete control over all
receivables, their aging, and collection of overdue accounts.
The Citadel contracted with a collection agency for assistance
in collecting old accounts. Working with the agency has provided
the means to clear many old accounts.
A number of significant personnel actions took place within
the finance area during the fiscal year. In no order of priority,
they were:
Mrs. Sophie Gamble, Accounting Technician I, resigned
to go into business with her husband.
Mrs. Anita Hoffman transferred from the Controller's
Office to replace Mrs. Gamble.
Ms. Linda Stephens was promoted to the position of
Payroll Supervisor to replace Mrs. Hoffman.
Ms. Margaret Paturzo, Administrative Assistant to the
Vice President for Financial Management, retired in December
1989 after more than 23 years at The Citadel.
Mrs. Meredith Yates transferred from the Office of the
President to replace Ms. Paturzo.
MAJ Gary E. Cathcart, Budget Officer, completed the
second of three years at the SACUBO College Business.
Management Institute conducted at the University of Kentucky.
He also participated in a forum presentation on Disaster
Preparation during the Information Associates FRS/HRS Users
Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah.
MAJ Cathcart was activated by the South Carolina Army
National Guard prior to Hurricane Hugo and served continuously
during the hurricane recovery period. In recognition of this
service, he was awarded the South Carolina Palmetto Cross (the
highest state award for Guard members), the Army Humanitarian
Award, the South Carolina Achievement Ribbon, and the South
Carolina Meritorious Service Medal.
87

�Mrs. Betty Sandifer, Senior Budget Analyst, attended
professional
development
seminars
on
writing
skills,
communication, and time management.

MAJ William D. Brady, Director of Procurement Services,
was promoted to major in the Unorganized Militia of South
Carolina. He was elected Chairman of the Board of Directors
of the Coastal Minority Suppiiers Development Councils, Inc.
He was also elected to the Board of Directors of the Carolinas
Minority Suppliers Development Councils, Inc., the regional
area affiliate of the National Minority Suppliers Development
Councils,
Inc.
MAJ Brady served on the Scholarship
Development Committee of the South Carolina Association of
Governmental Purchasing Officials. He was the guest speaker
at the May meeting of the Coastal Minority Suppliers
Development Councils, Inc., held in Charleston.
Mr. Jerry Christian, Physical Plant and Operations
Procurement Officer, was certified at the Professional Public
Buyer (PPB) level. Certification was awarded by the Universal
Public Purchasing Council after completion of requisite
purchasing classwork and certification testing. The PPB level
is the first level of certification in the public purchasing
field.
Mr. Richard R. Clarke, Citadel Class of 1962, was
promoted from property manager to supply manager on 1
September 1989.
He has overall responsibility for the
administration of campus supply and property management
functions.
Mr. Richard Hamilton, a retired Navy senior chief,
joined the staff on 1 September 1989 as property manager. He
was previously employed at Lieber Correctional Institution as
a supply specialist.
LTC Ralph Earhart, Controller, was "loaned" to the
Office of the Comptroller General of South Carolina to assist
in the compilation of the State of South Carolina's
Comprehensive Annual Financial Statement as required by
General Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).
COL Calvin G. Lyons, Vice President for Financial
Management, served as chairman of the Southern ·Association of
College and University Business Officers (SACUBO) Committee
for Honors and Recognitions.
B.

Financial Review of Operations for Fiscal Year 1989-90

Under the fund method of accounting for colleges and
universities, each fund group includes revenues, expenditures, and
fund balances and is established to record specific activities or
to attain particular objectives. Some of these funds are available
88

�for general operations while others are restricted by special
limitations or specific, designated applications.
It should be
noted that financial statements for colleges and universities differ
from those of commercial entities which typically present an
overall, consolidated, financial position. By contrast, college and
university financial statements are presented in terms of separate
fund groups and do not include a grand total of all operations.
The following statistical highlights, information, statements
and schedules are intended to provide a ' better understanding of (1)
the accounting policies and procedures used by The Citadel, (2) the
composition of various funds which comprise the college's financial
structure, and (3) the changes that have occurred in each of the
major fund groups during the past fiscal year.
Current Unrestricted
Funds
represent
the
unrestricted
operating accounts of the college including not only those relating
to its educational and general activities but also those used to
record the transactions of the college's owned and operating
auxiliary enterprises (e.g., dining hall, infirmary, laundry and
dry cleaning, tailor shop, cadet store, print shop, barracks,
faculty and staff quarters, the independent operations of the cadet
canteen and the athletic department).
The assets of the Current
Unrestricted Fund generally include cash,
special deposits,
receivables, inventories, and prepaid expenses.
Its liabilities
generally consist of various payables, accrued liabilities, student
deposits and other liabilities such as unclaimed wages.
Current Restricted Funds represent gifts, grants, and contract
funds received by the college, subject to restrictions of the
grantors as to their expenditures in support of research, training
programs,
libraries,
instruction,
student
services,
scholarship/fellowships, and other sundry purposes.
Loan Funds principally represent funds which are limited by
the terms of their donors to the purpose of making loans to students
who might otherwise be unable to attend The Citadel.
These funds
covered here include The Citadel Development Foundation Loan Fund,
Perkins Loan Fund, and the Stackhouse Trust Loan Fund.
The Basic
Educational Opportunity and Secondary Educational Opportunity Grants
are covered under the Current Restricted Fund.
During the past
fiscal year, loans of $91,650 were made from the Stackhouse, GDF, .
and the Perkins Loan Funds to 67 students.
At 30 June 1990,
outstanding student loans receivables aggregated $726,287.61. Our
Perkins default rate was 7.08 percent.
Endowment and Similar Funds represent gifts, bequests,
other funds received which fall into one of two categories:
(1)
Permanent Endowment
has stipulated, as a condition
to be maintained inviolate and
resulting from the investment
Quasi-endowment funds which are

or

Funds for which the original donor
of the gift, that the principal is
in perpetuity and only the income
of the fund may be expended; (2)
not restricted by donor limitations
89

�but which the Board of Visitors has determined are to be retained
and invested until such time as they may authorize the expenditure
of the principal of such funds. In both cases, the income earned
on the investment of Endowment and Similar Funds is used in
accordance with the required terms of the donor's original gift for
specific purposes, such as student aid, scholarships, and awards.
Any increase or decrease in value is recognized upon disposition,
and no adjustment is made to carrying value prior to this time.
Plant Funds are divided into four groups:
Retirement of
Indebtedness, Investment in Plant, Unexpended, and Renewals and
Replacements. Retirement of Indebtedness funds are derived from the
registration and tuition fees collected from the student for the
specific purpose of debt service. Investment in Plant represents
the aggregate of all land, buildings, and capital equipment
belonging to the college.
Also included is the construction · in
progress of any building projects. Unexpended funds represent the
unspent portion of funds approved for Capital Improvement projects.
Renewals and Replacement Funds are reserves set aside to provide for
renewal and replacement of capital equipment and facilities.
The Retirement of Indebtedness Plant funds at year end
recorded receipts of $875,749 in fees and other revenue and $225,938
in interest income for a total receipt of $1,101,687. The expenses
recorded for bond retirement including interest transfers and
service charges totaled $209,522.
The fund also contributed
$713,354.87 toward capital construction projects. The fund balance
at year end is $4,324,688.23 for a net increase of $1,865,759.23
over the 30 June 1989 fund balance. The current bonded indebtedness
of the college including plant improvement is displayed in the
appropriate schedule.
Investment in plant fund represents the aggregate total of
buildings, land and moveable and fixed equipment, and library books
owned by the college.
These assets are carried at original cost
plus subsequent additions, or at fair market value at date of gift,
if donated.
In accordance with practices followed by educational
institutions, no provision is made for appreciation or depreciation
of physical plant assets.
Major additions to plant assets,
including purchases of moveable and fixed equipment with a unit
value in excess of $500 having an unexpected life in excess of one
year are capitalized.
Expenditures from current funds for
acquisition of moveable and fixed equipment are recorded in both the
current funds expenditure accounts of the various departments and
in the appropriate plant investment account. The book value at 30
June .1990 is $55,331,473.
Unexpended Plant Funds balance as of 30 June 1990 amounted to
$7,288,947.
Renewals and Replacement Fund balances as of 30 June 1990
totaled $958,344. These funds are distributed among seven accounts:
barracks, barracks telephones, dining hall, infirmary, laundry,
computer acquisition, and rehabilitation reserve.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Organization

-

The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina , is a component unit
of the State of South Carolina and was established as an institution of
higher education per Section 59-101-10 of the Code of Laws of South
Carolina .
The accompanying financial statements present the financial
position, the changes in fund balances and the current funds revenues,
expenditures and other changes solely of The Citadel, The Military College
of South Carolina, and do not include any other component units of the
State of South Carolina.
The funds of the College are included in the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the State of South Carolina.
Method of Accounting
The financial statements of The Citadel, The Military College o·f South
Carolina, have been prepared on the accrual basis, except that in
accordance with accounting practices .customarily followed by educational
institutions, no provision is made for depreciation of physical plant and
equipment . The statements of current funds revenues, expenditures, and
other changes are statements of financial activities of current funds
related to the current reporting periods . They do not purport to present
the results of operations or the net income or loss for the periods as
would statements of income or statements of revenues and expenditures.
To the extent that current funds are used to finance plant assets, the
amounts so provided are accounted for as (1) expenditures, in the case of
alterations and renovations and purchases of movable equipment and library
books; (2) mandatory transfers, in the case of required provisions for debt
amortization and interest; and (3) transfers of a non-mandatory nature in
all other cases.
Fund Accounting
To ensure the observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use
of the resources available to the College, the accounts of the College are
maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting : By this
procedure, resources for various purposes are classified for accounting
and reporting purposes into funds that are in accordance with specified
activities or objectives. Separate accounts are maintained for each fund,
but in the accompanying financial statements, funds that have similar
characteristics have been combined into fund groups.
Accordingly, all
financial transactions have been recorded and reported by fund group .

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 1990 AND 1989

NOTE 1.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)
Fund Accounting (Continued)
Within each fund group, fund balances restricted by outside sources are
so classified and are distinguished from unrestricted funds allocated to
specific purposes by action of the governing board . Externally restricted
funds may be utilized only in accordance with the purposes established by
the source of such funds and are in contrast with unrestricted funds over
which the governing board retains full control to use in achieving any of
its institutional purposes.
All gains and losses arising from the sale, collection, or other
disposition of investments and other noncash assets are accounted for in
the fund that owns such assets . Ordinary income derived from investments,
receivables, and the like, is accounted for in the fund owning such assets,
except for income derived from investments of endowment and similar funds,
which income is accounted for in the fund to which it is restricted or,
if unrestricted , as revenues in unrestricted current funds. Receipts that
are restricted are recorded initially as additions to restricted fund
balances, then recognized as revenues to the extent that such funds were
expended for the restricted purposes during the current fiscal year.
The current fund group includes those economic resources which are
expendable for operating purposes to perform the primary missions of the
institution.
For a more meaningful disclosure, the current funds are
divided into unrestricted and restricted subgroups.
Current funds are
considered unrestricted unless the restrictions imposed by the donor . or
other external agency are so specific that they substantially reduce the
College's flexibility in their utilization.
Auxiliary enterprises are self-supporting business entities and activities
that exist for the purpose of furnishing goods and/or services primarily
to students, faculty, staff, or departments and for which charges are made
that directly relate to such goods and/or services.
Receipts and
disbursements are reported separately as unrestricted current funds in the
current fund group. Assets, liabilities, and fund balances are combined
with other unrestricted current funds for reporting purposes; however, each
separate enterprise maintains its own assets, liabilities, and fund
balances.
The loan fund group accounts for the resources available for loans to
students. Loan funds are provided by the federal government and by other
sources, primarily private gifts.
Expenditures include costs of loan
collections, loan write - offs, and administrative expenses under the
programs.

NOTE 1 .

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)
Fund Accounting (Continued)
The endowment and similar funds group includes permanent endowment funds
and funds functioning as endowment (quasi-endowment). Permanent endowment
funds are subject to the restrictions of gift instruments requiring in
perpetuity that the principal be invested and the income only be utilized.
The term "principal" is construed to include the original value of an
endowment , subsequent additions, and realized gains/losses attributable
to investment transactions. Quasi-endowment funds are funds determined
by the governing board, rather than by the donor or other external agency,
to be retained and invested . Subject to any restrictions imposed by the
donor of the resources, the principal as well as income may be utilized
at the discretion of the governing board.
The plant funds group consists of four self-balancing subgroups : (1)
Unexpended Plant Funds, (2) Funds for Renewal and Replacement, (3) Funds
for Retirement of Indebtedness and (4) Investment in Plant. The unexpended
plant funds subgroup accounts for the resources derived from various
sources to finance the acquisition of long-life assets and to provide for
renewal and replacement of existing plant assets. Resources set aside to
accumulate funds for renewal and replacement of institutional properties
are accounted for in the renewal and replacement subgroup. Resources that
are specifically accumulated for interest and principal payments, debt
service reserve funds, and other debt service charges related to plant fund
indebtedness are accounted for in the retirement of indebtedness subgroup.
The investment in plant subgroup accounts for all long-life assets in
service and related debt and all construction in progress and related debt .·
Net investment in plant represents the excess of the carrying value of
assets over liabilities.
The agency fund group accounts for the assets held on behalf of others in
the capacity of custodian or fiscal agent; consequently, transactions
relating to agency funds do not affect the operating statements of the
College . They include the accounts of students, student organizations,
and other groups directly associated with the College.
Compensated Absences
State employees are entitled to accrue and carry forward at calendar yearend a maximum of 180 days sick leave and 45 days annual vacation leave,
except that faculty members do not accrue annual leave. Upon termination
of employment, the employees are entitled to be paid for accumulated unused
annual vacation leave up to the maximum of 45 days but are not entitled
to any payment for unused sick leave.
The entire unpaid liability,
inventoried at fiscal year-end current salary costs, is recorded in
unrestricted current funds. The net change in the liability is recorded
as a revenue or an expenditure in the current year.

Other Sig~ificant Accounting Policies
Other significant accounting policies are set forth in the other notes to
the financial statements .

NOTE 10.

RETIREMENT PLANS:
Substantially all employees of the College are covered by a retirement plan
through the South Carolina Retirement System (SCRS) or the South Carolina
Police Officer's Retirement System (PORS), both of which are cost-sharing
multiple- employer defined benefit public employee retirement systems.
Generally all state employees are required to participate in and contribute
to the SCRS as a condition of employment unless exempted by law. Generally
all full- time employees whose principal duties are the preservation of
public order, protection or prevention and control of property destruction
by fire are required to participate in and contribute to the PORS as a
condition of employment. These plans provide annuity benefits as well as
disability and group-life insurance benefits to eligible employees.
Plan benefits are established by state law.
Employees in the SCRS are
eligible for a service retirement annuity upon reaching age 65 or
completion of 30 years' credited service. The benefit formula effective
July 1, 1988, for the System is 1. 7"/. of an employee's average final
compensation multiplied by the number of years of creditable service. An
early retirement option with reduced benefits is available as early as age
60. Employees are vested for a deferred annuity after 5 years' service
and qualify for a survivor's benefit upon completion of 15 years' credited
service. Disability annuity benefits are payable to employees totally and
permanently disabled provided they have a minimum of 5 years' credited
service. A group-life insurance benefit equal to an employee's annual rate
of compensation is payable upon the death of an employee with a minimum
of one year of credited service.
Employees in the PORS are eligible for a monthly pension payable at age
55 with a minimum of 5 years' service or 25 years' credited service
regardless of age. Reduced pension benefits are payable as early as age
50. A member is vested for a deferred annuity with 5 years' service. The
benefit formula for full benefits effective July 1, 1988, for the System
is 2.0% of the employee's average final salary multiplied by the number
of years of credited service. Disability annuity benefits and the grouplife insurance benefit for PORS members are similar to those for SCRS
participants. In addition, participating employers in the PORS contribute
to the accidental death fund which provides annuity benefits to
beneficiaries of police officers and firemen killed in the actual
performance of their duties. These benefits are independent of any other
retirement benefits available to the beneficiary.

compensation. Prior to this, each employee contributed 4% of their salary
up to $4,800 and 6% of their salary in excess of $4, 800 each calendar year.
Under Title 9 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, the College's liability
under the plan is limited to the amount of contributions (stated as a
percentage of covered payroll) established by the State Budget and Control
Board.
The employer contribution rate is 7. 7%.
The contribution
requirements for the year ended June 30, 1990, were $1,145,147 from the
employer and $891,652 from the employees; these contributions represent
7% and 6%, respectively, of the College's covered payroll.
The
contribution requirements for the year ended June 30, 1989, were $1,002,715
from the employer and $859,472 from employees; these contributions
represent 7.7% and 6.5%, respectively, of the College's covered payroll.
Also, the College paid employer group-life contributions of $22,308 and
$21,486 for the years ended June 30, 1990 and 1989, respectively.
The College's total covered payroll for the PORS for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 1990 and 1989, was $306,424 and $303,315, respectively. Effective
July 1, 1988, employees are required to contribute 6.5% of all
compensation. Prior to this, the required employee contribution rate was
5% of salary.
Under Title 9 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, the
College's liability under the plan is limited to the amount of
contributions (stated as a percentage of covered payroll) established by
the State Budget and Control Board.
The employer contribution rat~ is
10.3%. The contribution requirements for the year ended June 30, 1990,
were $31,562 from the employer and $19,918 from employees; these
contributions represent 10.3% and 6.5%, respectively, of the College's
covered payroll. The contribution requirements for the year ended June
30, 1989, were $31,250 from the employer and $19,716 from employees; these
contributions represent 10.3% and 6.5%, respectively, of the College's
covered payroll. Also, the College paid employer group- life contributions
of $613 and $607 for the years ended June 30, 1990 and 1989, respectively.
The Systems do not make separate measurements of assets and pension benefit
obligations for individual employers. Accordingly, information regarding
the excess, if any, applicable to the College of the actuarially computed
value of vested benefits over the total of the applicable pension fund and
any balance sheet accruals, less any pension prepayments or deferred
charges, is not available. By state law, the College's liability under
the retirement plans is limited to the amounts appropriated therefore in
the South Carolina Appropriation Act for the applicable year. Accordingly,
the College recognizes no contingent liability for unfunded costs
associated with participation in the plans.

in trust for the contributing employee. The state has no liability for
losses under the plans.
Under the Section 457 plan, all deferred
compensation plan amounts and earnings remain assets of the employer (the
state) subject to the claims of the employer's general creditors, one of
whom is the employee participant. It is unlikely, however, that the state
would ever use plan assets to satisfy claims of the state's general
creditors.
The portion of assets of the Section 457 plan to .w hich the
state has access is disclosed in its financial report.

NOTE 19. INTERFUND DEBT:
Included in interfund debt are the following items:
A. $300,000 advanced during fiscal year ended June 30, 1986, due from the
investment in plant fund to the endowment fund represents supplemental
funding to purchase land on Lockwood Drive. The Board of Visitors passed
a resolution during FY 90 to forgive the debt.
B. $250,000 advanced during fiscal year ended June 30, 1987, due from the
unexpended plant fund to the unrestricted current fund represents temporary
funding for capital improvements - this advance is to be repaid by gifts to
the capital campaign.
C. $587,655 advanced during fiscal year ended June 30, 1985, due from the
unexpended plant fund to the retirement of indebtedness fund represents a
loan used for the stadium lights project . The College has requested approval
to use excess debt service funds to repay this debt .
D. All other interfund debt is temporary in nature representing cash advances
that were primarily used to pay operating expenses.
These amounts are
considered currently due.
No repayment period has been specified and no interest is being paid on Items
B to C above.
NOTE 20. STUDENT LOAN NOTES RECEIVABLE:
Loan losses on student loan notes receivable are neither estimated nor recorded
in a reserve account (the amount not being considered significant enough to
adversely affect the financial statements). At the time a note is considered
to be uncollectible, it is charged to the principal of the fund from which the
loan was made.
NOTE 21. DUE TO GENERAL FUND OF THE STATE:
The amounts classified as due to general fund of the state represent unremitted
indirect costs on federal grants.
NOTE 22. HURRICANE DAMAGES
The college incurred an estimated $6,607,019 worth of damages from Hurricane
Hugo.
Insurance payments of $4,343,151 had been received by June 30.
The
College anticipates that the majority of the remaining amount will be paid by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). As of June 30, the College had
received no FEMA funds, several projects had not yet been established with FEMA,
the reimbursable amounts of many of the projects established with FEMA were in
dispute, and the few small reimbursement requests submitted to FEMA initially
had been returned pending additional information. Management at the College
is confident that funds will eventually be received from FEMA, but at this time
there is no data available to estimate the range of money that will be received.
Because of this situation, no receivable has been booked for fiscal year 1990
for FEMA funds.

State of Training and Discipline of the Corps of Cadets
1.

General

The Corps of Cadets performed well during School Year 198990.
The year got off to a good start in the fall, with the
Athletic Cadre reporting on 7 August, followed shortly by the
arrival and training of the Fourth Class Athletes. The regular
Cadre returned on 14 August and began a week of training in
preparation for the arrival of the Class of 1993 on 21 August.
Following a good Fourth Class Training Period, the remainder of the
Corps returned to campus on the evening of 27 August.
Classes
began two days later.
All aspects of the new School Year were
going well.
The football team was undefeated in three starts, and
was nationally ranked. The Corps and the Cadet Chain of Command
were performing well.
However, on 21 September, exactly one month
after the arrival of the freshman class, the Corps of Cadets
evacuated the campus prior to the arrival of Hurricane Hugo.
The members of the
Corps from
South Carolina
and
neighboring states travelled home, taking more distant out of state
classmates with them. The football team departed for the US Naval
Academy on 21 September. They chalked up their fourth victory of
the year against the midshipmen on 23 September, and moved up in
the ratings to number 7 in the nation. Original pre-Hugo planning
envisioned the Corps returning to campus on Sunday evening, 24
September. However, as a result of the damage inflicted by the
storm, the Corps was unable to return to Charleston until 4
126

�October. After several days of cleaning debris on campus and in
the surrounding neighborhoods, and a trip to Columbia for a
football game with Western Carolina, the cadets returned to classes
on 9 October.
Hugo tested the Corps and cadet leadership to the fullest.
While the damage to some facilities was significant, the greater
impact of the storm from the cadets' perspective was the major
revision to the school calendar, necessitated by the loss of twelve
class days.
Parents' Day had to be rescheduled, there was no
stadium for home football games, Christmas leave was shortened, and
exams, normally scheduled for completion prior to Christmas, were
waiting after the Corps returned from the holidays. Spring break
was also shortened.
However, these modifications to the college
calendar enabled the Corps to complete the School
Year as
originally scheduled, with Commencement conducted on 12 May 1990.
The mature leadership of the Regimental Commander and his
staff and subordinate commanders contributed immeasurably to smooth
operations. Their no-nonsense approach to their duties resulted in
continued improvement in personal appearance, mess hall procedures,
drill and ceremonies, and overall academic performance.
For the
second straight year, the academic average of the freshman class
exceeded 2.0 for the first semester.
This ·can be attributed in
large part to the Cadre's emphasis on academic achievement and the
enforcement of good study habits.
The Corps' performance and general morale were enhanced
throughout the year by ·their enthusiastic support of the varsity
athletic teams.
Especially noteworthy was the Corps' support of
the football team at the "home" games played at William Brice
Stadium at the University of South Carolina, following Hugo. Other
athletic highlights for the Corps included the basketball team's
return to the renovated Field House, and the baseball team's
winning a Southern Conference Championship, the Atlantic Coast
Regional Championship, and a trip to Omaha, Nebraska to the NCAA
World Series.
Damages inflicted to Stevens Barracks and Padgett Thomas
Barracks by Hugo did not help the situation.
While major
renovations remain in the future, positive near-term actions have
been initiated to improve the cadets' living conditions.
Guard.
rooms and selected rooms throughout the Corps area were upgraded
following the storm.
This summer, Stevens Barracks will be closed
and more rooms will undergo a facelift, to include the installation
of new floors, replacement of ceilings, and painting of walls and
furniture.
The completion of the renovation of McAlister Field House
marked a significant milestone for the Corps during School Year
1989-90. For the first time in three years, the entire Corps could
assemble indoors for such activities as basketball games, Greater
Issues, and West Foundation presentations, and the Cadet Talent
Show. The inauguration of Lieutenant General Claudius E. Watts III
127

�as the 17th President of The Citadel, and the Commencement ceremony
for the Class of '90 were very special events conducted in the
renovated Field House during the spring.
2.

Cadet Regulations

The Blue Book that was revised in 1988 continues to serve
as a basic guide for standards of conduct for the Corps of Cadets.
The Blue Book continued to be favorably accepted by the Corps and
proved its merit throughout the School Year.
3.

Cadre and Fourth Class Training

The special emphasis placed on leadership and "training the
trainer" was instrumental in the superb job the Cadre did in
training the members of the Class of 1993 . The Cadre's approach of
being "firm but fair", of setting the example, and treating
freshmen with dignity, resulted in a major decline in disciplinary
actions relating to violations of the
Fourth Class System.
Throughout the School Year, emphasis in training was placed on
establishing priorities and achieving a proper balance between
military, academics, physical, and extracurricular activities.
Continued emphasis on special leadership training for commanders
and staff officers, resulted in increased confidence and more
efficient performance.
The Junior Leaders Training
Course
initiated in 1989 was conducted again this spring for members of
the Second Class.

4.

Drill and Ceremonies

The performance of the Corps during drill and ceremonies
showed continued improvement during School Year 1989-90.
Tuesday
and Thursday drill periods were better organized and executed.
Tuesday drills emphasized squad and platoon movements until Drill
Competition was completed for those elements. Company Commanders
were assembled during these periods, and company level drill
procedures were reviewed. Thus, all levels of unit leadership were
learning and improving skills during these drill periods .
Honor Guard Ceremonies were re-instituted during the School
Year. Special ceremonies were conducted by Company O, the Ba_n d,
and Color Guard, to honor Major General T. Eston Marchant, Adjutant
General of South Carolina; Colonel John Butterfield, United States
Air Force, ROTC Regional Commander; Lieutenant General David R.
Palmer, Superintendent of the United States Military Academy;
General Andrew J. Goodpaster, United States Army, Retired; and
United States Senator Ernest F. Hollings. An Honor Guard formation
in McAlister Field House was also used as the foundation for the
Cincinnati Award Ceremony due to inclement weather.
The practice of excusing the top four companies from
Tuesday Drill, based on
performance during Friday afternoon
parades, and scheduling the Honor Guard in lieu of parades or
reviews during questionable weather, had positive impact on the
128

�I-

Corps.
Also, announcing ceremony scores immediately after they
were totaled, and furnishing copies of the score sheets to the
companies, increased interest and motivation.
Company K was the overall winner of parade and review
competition.
However, Company E was the recipient
of the
Commandant's Cup, as the best drilled company for the School Year.
The Salute Gun Battery performed in a superior manner throughout
the year.
On one occasion, the firing pin failed on a gun;
however, the Battery continued to fire ' the salute. Spectators were
unaware that the majority of the rounds were fired by only one gun.

The more serious disciplinary actions continued to be
alcohol related. Of the 18 cadets who appeared before Commandant
Boards during the School Year, 14 were referred to the Board for
infractions where alcohol was a contributing factor to misconduct.
Tougher penalties were imposed for these type offenses throughout
the year. The number of alcohol related cases declined from 67 in
1988-89 to 41 in 1989-90.
129

�6.

Substance Abuse Program

The Alcohol Abuse Program initiated in School Year 1983-84
continues.
This program
requires all
cadets involved in
disciplinary actions that were alcohol related, to report to the
Department of Psychology's counselor to the Corps for screening,
testing, and counseling. In addition to the 41 cadets who were
alcohol referrals in School Year 1989-90, the Student Counseling
Center enrolled 6 cadets in the program, who were self referrals.
Six cadets were also self referrals during School Year 1988-89 .
Self referrals bring the overall total number of cadets involved in
the program for School Year 1989-90 to 47.
The zero tolerance policy regarding drugs continued to be
enforced.
One senior cadet was suspended in the fall for two
semesters, for simple possession of marijuana off campus.
7.

Fourth Class Attrition

The Fourth Class attrition rate, for all causes during
School Year 1989-90 , was 24.5%.
Cadet leaders continued a
concerted effort to exercise positive leadership and "personalize"
the Fourth Class System by requiring the Cadre to show special
interest in each freshman's grades, personal problems, and family
matters. Special measures were taken to let the new cadets know
the Cadre's mission was to establish and maintain high standards,
and to help freshmen to meet those standards . Additionally, the
Regimental Commander personally interviewed each out-processing
Fourth Classman to ensure that the cadet was not leaving due to unprofessionalism on the part of the Cadre.
Significant gains
continued to be noted in the overall quality of the Fourth Class
System.
C.

Special Activities

Corps activities for the first semester were performed as
scheduled through 21 September 1989.
Plans for transporting,
feeding, and billeting the Band and a contingent of the cadets at
Quantico , Virginia and Fort Meade, Maryland for The Citadel vs Navy
Football Game, on 23 September, were completed. However, the trip
was cancelled on 21 September because of Hurricane Hugo. Following
Hugo and the Cadets' return in October, the Corps conducted a
march-on at The Citadel vs Western Carolina football game in
Columbia. The Corps was awarded the key to the city by the Mayor
of Columbia.
The Commandant's Inspection was held as originally scheduled,
on 28 October 1989.
The inspection served as an intermediate
milestone in efforts to normalize Corps operations.
A thorough
inspection of rooms was conducted.
The Corps then formed for
personal inspection on the parade ground, as has been done for the
past three years. All aspects of the inspection were satisfactory.
Parents' Day

activities were delayed by Hugo to the weekend of
130

�4 November.
All phases of this special weekend were well executed
and well received by the large crowd of guests on campus. As the
renovation of McAlister Field House was not yet completed, the
Junior Sword Drill again performed on the quadrangle of Padgett
Thomas Barracks.
The Ring Ceremony was also held in Summerall
Chapel for the third year.
Homecoming activities were conducted during the weekend of 1719 November. All activities were attended by large crowds.
All
Corps ceremonies were
conducted with prec1s1on
and special
enthusiasm, in honor of the "old grads" who were back on campus.
The Citadel vs Furman football game was played at the repaired
Hagood Stadium.
Many of the problems associated with Hugo were
being overcome and operations were returning to normal.
The Christmas season for
the Corps commenced with
the
initiation of the "first annual" Corps' Christmas Tree Lighting
Ceremony on Summerall Field, in front of Padgett Thomas Barracks.
The Christmas Candlelight Services originally scheduled for 3-4
December were moved to the evenings of 17 and 18 December to bring
the program closer to Christmas. This change was made possible as
a result of first semester exams being moved to January, after the
Corps returned from the holidays.
Capacity crowds were in
attendance on both evenings.
The Summerall Guards performed at The Citadel vs East Tennessee
State football game at Johnson, Tennessee, on 28 October.
In
addition
to the
Parents' Day,
Homecoming, and
Corps Day
performances, two performances were conducted at Disney World
during the period 11-13 March.
The Guard also performed a special
indoor drill at the Charleston Place Omni, before the National Wild
Turkey Association. A revised seven minute drill series was
developed and presented prior to graduation. The new drill is more
crisp and precision oriented, and was specifically designed to meet
time constraints associated with future on the road half-time
performances.
Corps Day Weekend activities began with the Marion Square
Review commemorating the 147th Anniversary of The Citadel, on 15
March 1990.
The momentum regained toward the end of the first
semester was maintained, and the Corps of Cadets performed well
before large crowds for the reviews on 16 and 17 March 1990. Cadet
Gheysens, the Regimental Executive Officer, and LTC Robert Collins,
Director of the Physical Plant were awarded Palmetto Medals in
recognition of their outstanding performance following Hurricane
Hugo. The march to the chapel by elements of the Corps for Sunday
services, and the Band's rousing concert of patriotic music in
Hampton Park were well received by the numerous visitors on campus.
highlight
of second
semester
activities
was the
The
inauguration of Lieutenant General Claudius E. Watts III as the
17th President of The Citadel, on 6 April 1990.
Inaugural
activities began with an Honor Guard Ceremony for the principal
guest speaker, Senator Ernest F. Hollings, The Citadel Class of
131

�'42.
The inauguration ceremony was conducted in McAlister Field
House before the Corps and a large number of guests representing
institutions of higher learning from across the nation. Following
the ceremony , a luncheon for inaugural delegates was held in Mark
Clark Hall. General Watts was honored by the Corps of Cadets at an
afternoon review.
Commencement activities began with an Awards and Retirement
Review and the Baccalaureate Service on 10 May 1990.
General and
Mrs. Watts and members of the Board of Visitors were honored by a
review on the morning of 11 May, and the traditional review in
honor of the Class of 1990 was held that afternoon. At a special
ceremony in the President's Office, those cadets selected as the
key leaders of the Corps for School Year 1990-91 were presented
with their gold chevrons.
Commencement activities continued on the morning of 12 May 1990
with the
commissioning ceremony
held in Summerall
Chapel.
Lieutenant General Ellie G. Shuler, Jr., United States Air Force,
Commander, Eighth Air Force (SAC), Barksdale, Louisiana, The
Citadel Class of '59, administered the Oath of Office.
The
Commencement Ceremony was conducted in McAlister Field House before
a more than capacity crowd. Due to the large number of visitors
wishing to attend the ceremony, most cadets were excused from the
event to give their seats to our guests. 395 members of the Corps
received their diplomas and joined the ranks of Citadel Men.
The
format of conducting graduation indoors proved very successful.
D.

Department of Military Science
1.

Mission

Recruiting, training and commissioning the future officer
leadership of the United States Army is the mission of the
Department of Military Science.
The mission is accomplished by
providing our cadets
with challenging, exciting and quality
training designed to test a cadet's mettle. The program prepares a
cadet to accept the
demanding responsibilities of an
Army
lieutenant.
48 senior cadets received a commission at graduation.
Five cadets received their commissions between October '89-January
'90. Six cadets will receive their commissions after swnmer school
and another 16 cadets in the Class of 1990 will receive their
commissions at the completion of Advanced ROTC Summer Camp at Fort
Bragg. The total is 75 Army commissionees for the Class of 1990.

Operations

1989-90 was our fourth year as the Palmetto Battalion.
This
organization, made up
entirely of
Army contract and
scholarship cadets,
plans and coordinates
all the training
activities for the Army cadets under the supervision and guidance
of our Active Duty cadre .
The battalion conducted six field
training exercises for cadets bound for the Advanced Summer Camp.
The culmination of this year's training was the week long "MiniCamp" held 14-19 May '90 at Fort Jackson.
The Mini-Camp is a
culmination of all training that has occurred during the year and
is the final test to see if our cadets are prepared for the
Advanced Summer Camp training. Our Ranger Challenge Team finished
fourth out of 15 teams selected to compete in First Region
competition. Several distinguished guest speakers addressed Army
cadets during the year to include:
Colonel Henry L. Hunt , Deputy
Staff Chaplain, USA Forces Command, Fort MacPherson, Georgia;
Brigadier General Joseph C. Hurteau, Deputy Commanding General, 1st
Special Operations Command, Fort Bragg, NC; and Major General T.
Eston Marchant, Adjutant General, S. C. National Guard.
724
students were enrolled in the Army ROTC program during second
semester while 738 students were enrolled in the program first
semester.
Besides
the 75 cadets
who will ultimately
be
commissioned with the Class of 1990, 75 junior cadets are under
contract or scholarship. Currently, 24 sophomores and freshmen are
on Army scholarships.
4.

Extracurricular Activities

The Battalion had an active company in the Association of
the United States Army.
It has been cited as the largest student
chapter in Cadet Command. It sponsored the annual formal Dining-In·
and again sent six cadets and a Citadel display to the annual AUSA
Convention in Washington, D. C. in October. The Citadel Chapter of
the Army Aviation Association of America (AAAA), as the only
student chapter, remained very active with field trips, displays,
and guest speakers.
Members of the AAAA attended the annual AAAA
Convention in Orlando in April.
The Cordell Airborne Ranger
Company is another active organization. Consisting of 120 cadets,
they participated in four field training exercises. The Society of
the American Military Engineers remains very active as they visited
several projects, including a four-day trip to Fort Belvoir,
Vir ginia, to tour the Engineer Research and Development facility.
Last summer, Army cadets did extremely well in our special training
133

�schools. 37% of our cadets finished in the top 1/3 of all cadets
at Advanced Camp. Three of the 97 cadets to attend Advanced Camp
received the Platoon Leadership Award. Three cadets received their
Ranger Tab at Ranger School. Fifty cadets received their Airborne
wings and 6 cadets received the Air Assault Badge.
Ten cadets
attended Cadet Troop Leadership Training with Active Duty units.
Army cadets will be attending these schools again this summer and a
higher success rate is anticipated.
5.

Future Developments

The Battalion will continue to strive to recruit more
individuals into the Army program and train and retain the quality
cadets to commission them as lieutenants upon graduation.
We
strive for excellence in leadership, but want the whole man who
also demonstrates the academic and physical requirements necessary
to become a quality officer. We have made numerous improvements to
our facilities and program and, during the recent inspection by the
Commanding General of Cadet Command, he stated, "The Citadel is the
best ROTC Battalion in Cadet Command."
We are proud of what we
have accomplished, but we will continue to work hard providing the
cadets the training, equipment and material necessary to educate
them on the opportunities of the Total Army Force; the Active Army,
the Army Reserves, and the Army National Guard.

Department of Aerospace Studies
1.

Personnel

Colonel Kenneth E. Krause continued as the Professor of
Aerospace Studies and Deputy Commandant of Cadets.
Unit manning
consists of eight officers serving as Assistant Professors of
Aerospace Studies, five enlisted
members, and one
civilian
secretary.
Captain Laura A. Berry, Captain John D. Crawford,
Captain Thomas P. Gill, and Captain Edmund G. Memi served their
first year as Assistant Professors of Aerospace Studies. Captains
Memi, Crawford, and Gill served as company tactical officers, and
Captain Memi, at the President's request, converted to Assistant
Public Affairs officer working for LTC Legare.
No officers or
enlisted personnel are scheduled for reassignment during the summer
of 1990.
2.

Operations

The Department of Aerospace Studies implemented several
academic programs begun during the previous year. The instructor
training program prepared new instructors for their first teaching
experience and provided reviews of administrative procedures,
regulatory requirements, and new instructor improvement techniques.
Lesson plans, examinations, and related course materials were
updated.
At the close of the SY 1989-90, 791 students were
enrolled in the AFROTC program.
Of these, 57 were Air Force
scholarship/contract students.
For FY 1990, 23 cadets were (or
will be) commissioned as active duty Air Force second lieutenants.
134

�Due to Air Force directed manpower ceiling reductions, contract
cadets were once again offered the opportunity to voluntarily disenroll from the Professional Officer Course and four cadets took
advantage of that offer.
One cadet was dis-enrolled involuntarily
for failure to maintain standards.
Estimated officer production
for FY 1991 is 24.
Special students (those not currently on
contract) continue to be attracted to the AFROTC curriculum of
management, leadership, history, and foreign affairs.
Current
trends indicate approximately 50 cadets from the Class of 1993 will
seek an Air Force commission.
3.

Extracurricular Activities

The Department of Aerospace Studies continued to engage in
many activities to enhance our cadets' knowledge of the Air Force
mission. For example, we hosted several prominent guest speakers
and briefing teams and continued the Base Visit program.
During
this year, guest speakers included the Air University National
Security Briefing Team and monthly intelligence briefings at our
Commander's Calls.
We had three briefings by officers directly
involved in the planning and execution of Operation JUST CAUSE.
Additionally, panels of Active Duty Air Force officers from
Charleston AFB presented their personal perspective of the Air
Force way of life to sophomore cadets in the Aerospace Studies
program. We expanded this Shadow Program to pair each senior with
an Active Duty junior officer in his related career field for a
year-long shadow opportunity for the senior. Five rising seniors
spent three weeks at various bases in the Advanced Training
Program. Sixty-one percent of our cadets finished in the top 50
percent of their respective summer Field Training Encampments. We
had one Vice-Commandant Award winner and two Superior Performance
Award winners. Several base visits were also conducted, providing
184 of our cadets a first-hand orientation to the Air Force
mission. Our Detachment was also involved in several retention and
motivational activities.
Overall, 447 cadets participated in
incentive programs during the School Year. Citadel AFROTC cadets
placed sixth (of 148 AFROTC detachments) and our Active Duty staff
placed tenth in a nationwide Physical Fitness Test competition.
The Arnold Air Society had another successful year.
They were
selected as the Area V headquarters for SY 1990-91, and raised over
$600.00 participating in the Arthritis Foundation Telethon.

Future Plans

Next year, the total enrollment in AFROTC is, for the first
time, expected to exceed 800 cadets. Continued emphasis on showing
cadets a first-hand look at the Air Force and Air Force career
opportunities will underscore our cadet-centered activities.
We
hope to increase our Advanced Training and Base Visit programs next
year and will continue to offer the Flight Orientation Program to
even more cadets.
With our frequently updated and stimulating
curriculum, we expect superb results--both in an academic and
leadership sense next year. We will continue to emphasize quality
in recruiting of our future Air Force officers .

The Beach Club

Hugo inflicted heavy damage on the Beach Club.
However,
Club operations included a full schedule of activities in the fall,
before the storm, and the facility was operating in a reduced mode
in support of cadet activities by the end of March 1990.
A major
clean-up effort at the Beach House was conducted during the winter.
In addition to the Corps' beach party, a cook-out for the Campus
Family Life and Citadel's Women's Club was held at the beach, in
April. The shuttle bus service, which had been in operation before
the storm, resumed in April, and enabled Fourth Classmen to enjoy
the Beach Club. A plan to re-build or renovate the main Beach Club
facility is under development.

Special Services

The Fine Arts Program increased the number of offerings in
1989-90 to e i ght. The wide variety of performances in this program
included the United States Navy Band from Washington, DC, a ballet,
a symphony, "Porgy &amp; Bess", and a variety of concerts.
Cadets
enjoyed the on-campus programs, at no charge. Special rates and
arrangements for cadets to attend off-campus events were also
arranged by Student Activities.
The Citadel Blood Drive continued to be a major provider
for the local community.
Blood collection capabilities by the
local Red Cross were curtailed by Hurricane Hugo. Blood donations
by the Corps resumed in March and April, after the Red Cross
replaced essential equipment .
Substance Abuse Seminars continued to provide effective
information to members of the Corps.
Special substance abuse
presentations were made this past School Year by an attorney, a
medical doctor, and a senior business executive .
Cadet awareness
of alcohol abuse also stimulated the formation of a Citadel Chapter
of Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD).
The Ring and Invitations Committee, and the senior class
officers coordinated and hosted the Ring Presentation Ceremony and
class banquet.
The date for these special events was adjusted
because of Hurricane Hugo.

leadership for a variety of awards committees, and hosted the
annual Cadet Awards Banquet in Mark Clark Hall in April.
The
department also chaired the Parents' Day, Homecoming, and Corps Day
Activities Committees.
The Big Brother Program and initiatives in support of Burke
High School were other major local community service projects
supported by Student Activities.

DEVELOPMENTAL MATTERS

General

The six development functions---fund raising, alumni affairs, job
placement, governmental affairs, public relations and publications and chaplaincy
complemented each other effectively in 1989-90
B.

Fund Raising
1.

Development Office

Despite the successful and early completion of The General Mark W. Clark
Campaign for The Citadel Tomorrow, Fiscal Year 1989-90 was marked by two
fundraising initiatives while the day-to-day business of collecting Clark
Campaign pledges and commitments and other designated gifts to the college
continued.
In September 1989, Hurricane Hugo struck the coast of South Carolina and
in its fury inflicted more damage upon The Citadel than the campus had
experienced in its history. The Development Office passed word of the damage
to alumni and friends and solicited their financial relief. We were careful to
point out that optimism ran high that insurance coverages and FEMA would help
us recover most of the losses. We knew, however, that there inevitably would
be a shortfall in this recovery and that we would have to have private support.
Two mailings in October and December graphically portrayed the power of the
storm, and we were successful in raising over $206,000
As part of the planning for the President's inauguration, the Development
Office designed a "mini-campaign" to retire some of the college's financial
obligations. The Citadel has some $3 million in debts not covered by outstanding
bonds: varying amounts for the Lockwood Field purchase, a long-standing note
due The Citadel development Foundation for seignious Hall, the obligation due
Excess Debt Service for the Johnson Hagood Stadium lights, an as-yet unbonded
obligation for the Faculty Quarters Project, and the college's accepted portion
of Vandiver Hall construction costs. Through other avenues, we feel that this
debt can be reduced almost by half. We approached our alumni for short-term
commitments of $1.5 million to be collected by the end of 1991 and before the
college's Sesquicentennial in 1992. At year end, $450,000 in pledges had been
made. We are confident that by the end of Calendar Year 1990, The Inaugural
Campaign will approach the $750,000 level and we will meet our goal by the end
of 1991.
In tabular form, the following represents total cash and gifts-in-kind to
the college (excluding The Citadel Development Foundation and The Citadel
Brigadier Club) for the past year:

Scholarships

$2,026,521
Of these gifts, a particular one must receive special note. The Jessie
Ball Dupont Fund of Jacksonville, Florida was approached some time ago about the
possibility of funding Project Challenge- - -a unique partnership between The
Citadel and Charleston's inner-city Burke High school. Under the direction of
education professor Colonel Tom Mahan, Project Challenge is designed to identify
and assist at-risk minority students by providing them counseling and a
specially-designed curriculum to keep them in school.
If successful, this
program could well become the prototype for other such at-risk programs
throughout the nation. The Dupont Fund saw the difference our program could make
in K-12 education and is providing over $150,000 in incremental seed funding for
the next three years. This grant insures that this experiment will have every
chance for success.
The Development Office is pleased to be a vital, integral, and essential
part of planning for The Citadel's future.
As State appropriations for our
"assisted" college decrease, the importance of private revenue support becomes
increasingly crucial .
2.

Citadel Development Foundation

The Citadel Development Foundation received $966,035 in gifts during the
year. Alumni donated $722,209, parents and other friends $71,685 and business ,
industries and foundations $172,140.
3.

The Brigadier Club, Inc.

The Citadel Brigadier Club continues to achieve new membership and dollar
totals.
1989 was a great year . Les McElwee '53, Executive Director of The
Citadel Brigadier Club, and his assistant, Caleb Davis '72, credit the success
with a positive attitude on the part of coaches, administrative officials and
cadet-student-athletes. Coaches have visited Citadel Glubs in South Carolina,
North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Virginia, along with Les, Caleb , and Walt
Nadzak. It is all worthwhile, the coaches say, because of the super support our
alumni and friends give The Citadel and The Citadel Brigadier Club . In 1990,
the second Brigadier Club Auction was held and $32,000 was realized. This was
even better than the first Auction totals of $26,000 . Again, thanks to friends
and alumni who make it all possible .

selected alumni requesting that they host their state representatives and
senators. Nearly 60% of the legislators attended.
6. One hundred forty-nine (149) members of the Class of '90 became life
members of the Association upon graduation. This represented 35% of the class,
the highest percentage since the program was initiated in 1983.
7.
Fifty six percent (56%) of addressable alumni were members of the
association for 1989, giving The Citadel one of the highest alumni participation
rates of all institutions of higher education.

activities is praised by alumni and other readers.
Throu&amp;h the Sally Port, a newsletter of the Association of Citadel Men
mailed to all alumni, continued as a valued and informative communication.
The Citadel Calendar Comments, published monthly during the college year,
has taken on a bright, new look and furnished more comprehensive news for members
of the faculty, staff, retirees, Advisory Committee, Board of Visitors, selected
alumni and other entities.
F.

Governmental and Public Relations
1.

Governmental

During the 1990 session of the State General Assembly, the most
significant piece of legislation directly related to The Citadel was House Bill
4379. This bill authorized The Citadel Board of Visitors to establish a nonprofit eleemosynary corporation for the purpose of providing scholarships and
other financial assistance and support to the college, to authorize the transfer
of certain non-state appropriated funds or property to this non-profit
corporation, and to provide for disclosure requirements regarding these funds
and property.
144

�Over 59% of the General Assembly members attended the annual Citadel
Barbecue held in Columbia on 16 May.
Incumbent Leonard C. Fulghum was re-elected by the General assembly
to another six-year term on The Citadel Board of Visitors. James M. Leland was
also elected by the General Assembly to a six-year term on the Board of Visitors.
2.

Public Relations

The college had another successful year of events and accomplishments
that resulted in a positive public relations image for the institution.
The October 16 issue of U. S. News and World Report, featured The
Citadel as seventh among 148 Southern Colleges and Universities in the annual
guide to "America's Best Colleges." This is the second consecutive national
rating for the college by U. S. News and World Report.
In September 1989, "Portrait of The Citadel," a 15 minute video that
took over 12 months to film and produce was made available to cadets, parents
and friends of the college. It met with great success and replaces an outdated
film used by the Admissions and recruiting office for viewing by applicants and
parents.
The Director of Public Relations, LTC Ben W. Legare, Jr., was named
to the American Association of State Colleges and Universities Public Information
Officers Advisory Committee. This national committee is composed of 20 public
information professionals from higher education institutions across the United
States.
G.

Religious Activities
1.

General

Worship services were offered and conducted weekly for cadets and
other students, faculty, staff and friends of The Citadel. Protestant services
were held on Sunday mornings in Summerall Chapel and Sunday evenings in Mark
Clark Hall. Special, ecumenical services with a reception following recognized
major Citadel weekends (Parents' Day, Homecoming, Corps Day), anniversaires of
our Armed Forces and all major holiday events (Christmas, Easter, Martin Luther

Thursday evenings, second semester. Muslim worship took place in the Crumpton
Room of Summerall Chapel each Friday.
2.

On-Campus Ministry

Religious activities included Monday night denominational group
meetings and Thursday night para-church group meetings- - -all well attended.
These meetings were under the guidance of campus ministers from local churches
who are specifically designated to work with the different faiths and
denominations. Special first semester events included the following:
145

�a.
"Gathering" for parents and new cadets was held the Sunday
afternoon prior to beginning of the school year.
This well attended event
included a brief worship service followed by a reception and the opportunity for
parents and new fourth classmen to meet the Director of Religious Activities and
campus ministers.
b.
The Religious Banquet for fourth classmen was held after
completion of the first week of fourth class training. This event gave the new
cadets an opportunity to meet other new cadets and to have their first, regular
meeting with the campus minister of their faith or denomination.
c. Religious Emphasis '89 was held 23-24 October 1989. Mr. Doug
Burleigh, President of Young Life, was the featured speaker. Music was provided
by the noted singer, Kim Boyce. Each day began with a Prayer Breakfast, and each
evening, a worship service was held in the chapel---all voluntary.
d. The annual Christmas Candlelight Service was held in Summerall
Chapel on the evenings of 3-4 December 1989. This service combined all Citadel
cadet choirs and members of the band; and played to an overflow crowd of cadets,
faculty, staff and guests from surrounding communities both evenings. The plate
offering was donated to hurricane Hugo relief efforts.
Colonel Floyd W. Brown, Jr., USAF, Ret., former Commandant and current
Director of the Summerall Chapel Association and Active Duty Advisory Committee,
was appointed in January to serve as Coordinator of Chaplaincy Activities. He
replaced Chaplain Gordon E. Garthe, Chaplain to the Corps, who resigned that same
month. Under Colonel Brown's guidance the following activities were initiated
for second semester:
a. Guest preachers representing all Christian faiths/denominations
were invited to serve as guest clergy at the 9:30 a.m. Protestant Service each
Sunday.
b. Colonel Brown took three cadets to Washington, D. C., in February
1990 to attend the National Prayer Breakfast and participate in the Student
Leadership Conference. Cadets Bentley, Brannon and Selzer gave a good account
of themselves, and Colonel Brown received many compliments from other
participants praising the cadets' appearance and conduct.
c. The cadets initiated a student forum/ Sunday School that was held
each Sunday following Protestant and Catholic services.
Presbyterian Campus
Minister, Dr. Wanda Neely, and Colonel Brown served as advisors for this group.
Guest ministers or speakers were often invited to make the keynote remarks.
d. A "Morning Coffee and Refreshment Hour" was begun, following the
9:30 service, to afford cadets an opportunity to meet people from downtown or
from the faculty and staff. This event was hosted by the Office of the Chaplain
and the Summerall Chapel Association. Much credit for the success of this is
given to Mr. and Mrs. Ron (Linda) Suciu.
e. Monday evening Episcopal worship was changed to Sunday at 11:00
to allow Episcopal cadets to attend the forum/Sunday School.

Off Campus Activities

Statewide and local retreats, socials and religious observances were
attended/held off campus under the direction of the Director of Religious
Activities and campus ministers.
In August, Chaplain Garthe held a "teambuilding" retreat for the 1989-90 Religious Council at Ebenezer Retreat Center,
Rincon, Georgia.
The Protestant and Gospel choirs successfully performed at churches
throughout South Carolina and in other states. The Protestant choir's spring
tour took them to Florida and Georgia for church appearances. The Gospel Choir
performed in Maryland, D. C. and Virginia, including the Pentagon, during their
spring tour. The success of these tours, plus the conduct and appearance of our
cadets, continues to be a strong public relations asset for The Citadel and the
state.
Each cadet parish (Protestant, Catholic, Episcopal) sent a
representative to Washington for the National Prayer Breakfast and Student
Leadership Conference in Washington.
Colonel Brown attended the Service Academy Chaplains' Conference at
the U. S. Naval academy, Annapolis, Maryland, 24-26 April 1990. This conference,
held at a different military/naval academy each year, provides an outstanding
forum for discussion of items/issues common to all military schools, whether
state-supported (Citadel, VMI) or national service academies.
4.

Facilities

Roof repairs were completed on Summerall Chapel and the Howie
Carillon in early spring. Although the damaged roofs existed before, Hurricane
Hugo
exacerbated
the
situation,
requiring
the
much-needed
roof
replacement/repair.
Repair of interior walls and refurbishing of the pews and chancel
furniture in Summerall Chapel was undertaken in June as an "in-house" and "selfhelp" series of projects.
The Citadel's Physical Plant is assisting in this
work as well as restoring outside lighting for the great chancel window.
Office space in Mark Clark Hall is being refurbished to provide a
more efficient office and meeting area for the Director of Chaplaincy, improve
the cadet "relaxation area," and provide a counseling area for use by the
different campus ministers. The old Chaplain's office in Summerall Chapel has
147

�been fixed up to provide office space for the Administrative Assistant to conduct
wedding business and give on-scene assistance to the hundreds of visitors and
tourists to Summerall Chapel each week.

                    <text>HIGHLIGHTS
The National Council for the Accredition of Teachers' Education (NCATE)
conducted its on-site visitation as part of its accredition process. Within the
last year this prestigious agency has revamped its guidelines and raised its
standards.
Consequently, only one in eight teacher's education programs are
receiving full, five year accreditation.
The Citadel's education unit,
consisting of the teaching certification programs in the Departments of
Education, Physical Education, and Psychology, met all standards and had their
programs re-accredited for five years.
This was the first year of the implementation of the Core Curriculum. For
incoming students, the change in requirements from the survey of United States
History to Western Civilization constituted the major change.
In the coming
year, the greatest impact will be a large number of students taking Chemistry
or Biology as their second year science along with one of the several options
that comprise the required social science course. Nonetheless, the transition
in its first year to the new core curriculum went smoothly.
The South
implementation of
effort undertaken
in the areas of U.
World studies and

Carolina Commission on Higher Education approved the
the Master of Arts degree program in history. This is a joint
with the College of Charleston. The Citadel will concentrate
S. and European history, while the College will focus on Third
the history of the Lowcountry.

Without the generous support of The Citadel Development Foundation, namely
$1.46 million, the college simply could not achieve the level of excellence it
has attained. Funds from the foundation support scholarships, grants, faculty
development and research, and recognition of faculty excellence. As part of the
adoption of the Series Z administrative package, software systems supporting
procurement and development came on line, and more computer labs and work station
labs are under construction or purchase.
Following statewide competition, The Citadel received grants from the S.
C. Department of Education to conduct teacher training institutes for advanced
placement (AP) teachers of English, U. S. History, and Comparative Government.
These grants represent the fifth year in which Citadel faculty have successfully
competed in this statewide process.
Project Challenge, a program under the auspices of the Department of
Education, received a major grant of $150,000 from the Jessie Ball duPont
Foundation.
Project Challenge is an effort that encompasses Citadel faculty
working with nearby Burke High School in developing and implementing a humanities
curriculum. Colonel Thomas W. Mahan and Lieutenant Luci Bailey of the Education
Department spearhead the project.
Each year, the Governor of South Carolina recognizes the best professor
among all the colleges and universities operating in the state by the
presentation of an award at a banquet in Columbia. Each college or university
may nominate one professor. This year's recipient of the Governor's Professor
of the Year is Colonel Thomas W. Mahan, Professor of Education and Psychology,
the first Citadel faculty member to be so honored.

�The Corps of Cadets performed well throughout School Year 1989-90, even
with the difficulties imposed by Hurricane Hugo. The cadets evacuated the campus
on 21 September 1990 and returned to class on 9 October 1990. Due to the loss
of 12 class days, Christmas leave was shortened and first semester exams,
normally scheduled prior to Christmas, were scheduled after Christmas furlough.
Spring break was also shortened.
Parents' Day and other activities were
rescheduled.
For several weeks home football games could not be played at
Johnson Hagood Stadium. Despite these and other problems associated with the
storm, the leadership of the Regimental Commander and his staff contributed
immeasurable to smooth operations throughout the year.
The flexibility
demonstrated by the Corps in implementing the revised school calendar enabled
the Class of '90 to graduate as originally scheduled on 12 May 1990.
Hugo inundated our finance offices with water and cut off all power to our
computer system.
It caused a major drain on our cash account in order to
accomplish the approximately $2 million worth of emergency repairs required to
restore the college to full operational status. We have received the first two
distributions of payments from our insurance claims and we are still working
closely with the Division of Insurance Services staff and the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) staff to close out all pending claims and receive
reimbursement for Hugo related expenses.
Fiscal Year 1989-90 saw a slight retreat in the level of state funding
for the higher education formula. After increasing to 93% funding in 1988-89,
the General assembly was able to provide only about 92.68% funding for 1989-90.
This forced the college to provide no funding for equipment replacement or
purchases with the exception of computers, physical plant equipment, and boating
center equipment.
The Citadel's audit for Fiscal Year 1988-89 was performed by Rogers,
Montgomery and Company, P.A., Certified Public Accountants under contract to
the State Auditor. The report was again an unqualified report. The same audit
firm also audited The Citadel Athletic Department under guidelines established
by the NCAA and found no major deficiencies.
The Budget and Control Board's Procurement Audit Staff conducted an
extensive audit of The Citadel's procurement system to determine how well we
complied with state procurement regulations. The audit was conducted for the
period November 1986 to April 1990. The college received a very favorable report
of findings.
The auditors support our request for an increase in our local
procurement authority to $30,000.
The Citadel's procurement staff processed and awarded 55 invitations for
bid and one minor construction bid without protest. In addition, 10 invitations
for bid which were exempt from the State Procurement Code were processed and
awarded without protest.
The procurement staff processed in excess of 200
procurements worth $2.0 million in support of the hurricane cleanup effort.
The Citadel continues to benefit from its designation by the Department
of Defense as a Service Educational Activity.
This designation permits the
college to gain priority access to Department of Defense surplus property. We
have obtained property valued at more than $42,000 this fiscal year to include
paints, lubricants, and other general maintenance supplies.

�The Citadel has become a recognized leader in the Charleston area in
efforts to involve Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) in Citadel procurement
activities. Our purchases from minority firms for the first three quarters of
this fiscal year total $238,912 which has surpassed our goal of $124,489. Our
efforts this year were assisted by the needs developed as a result of
Hurricane Hugo.
The Citadel staff worked closely with the State Treasurer and the
college's bond attorneys to develop the documentation required for the
refinancing of $1,350,000 of Institution Bonds, the issue of a new $500,000
Institution Bond, the issue of $3,200,000 of Revenue Bonds, and $2,000,000 of
Plant Improvement Bonds. These bonds will support the new Cadet Dining
Facility project, a previously completed Faculty Quarters project, a project
to upgrade the Capers Hall cooling system, and a project to relocate the
roadway near Indian Hill.
The State passed legislation permitting The Citadel to establish a
foundation and transfer the current endowment funds to that foundation. This
action will eliminate one of the problems that has been noted in the annual
audit management letter for the past several years, i.e., that the funds
should be invested by the State Treasurer instead of The Citadel.
Major construction activities on the campus centered on the completion
of the McAlister Field House Project, the Central Energy Facility and the
Perry Earle Tennis Facility. A much needed Alumni Hall Replacement Project
was started as well as the new Coward Hall Project. Projects under design are
Vandiver Hall and the Renovation of Bond Hall. Auxiliary activities provided
services and goods to students, faculty and staff, as well as providing much
needed revenue for athletic operations, scholarships and student activities.
The continued emphasis was made on major equipment replacement in both the
Print Shop and Laundry activities.
The Citadel Baseball Team participated in the College World Series in
Omaha, Nebraska, with Coach Chal Port being named National Coach of the Year
by the Sporting News. The team won 46 games and lost 14.
In what turned out to be a busy year for the college's fundraising
activities, over $2 million was collected in the areas of both restricted and
unrestricted gifts, scholarships, and Clark Campaign pledges and commitments.
Included in this figure were two unplanned fundraising efforts revolving
around historic events for The Citadel.
The Hugo Relief Fund collected over $200,000 in cash from alumni,
friends, and foundations assisting with our recovery from the storm. The
Inaugural Campaign was announced in March (to this point solely directed
toward alumni) to assist in retiring the unbonded financial obligations of the
college. A goal of $1.5 million was established with collections to be
completed by the end of Calendar Year 1991. Thus far, over $450,000 has been
committed, meeting our most optimistic projections.
The 16 October 1989 issue of U. S. News and World Report, featured The
Citadel as seventh among 148 Southern Colleges and Universities in the annual
guide to "America's Best Colleges."

�During the 1990 session of the State General Assembly, the most significant
piece of legislation directly related to The Citadel was House Bill 4379. This
bill authorized The Citadel Board of Visitors to establish a non-profit
eleemosynary corporation for the purpose of providing scholarships and other
financial assistance and support to the college, to authorize the transfer of
certain non-state appropriated funds or property to this non-profit corporation,
and to provide for disclosure requirements regarding these funds and property.

�SYNOPSIS OF THE HISTORY OF THE CITADEL
The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, is situated on a
beautiful campus between Hampton Park and the Ashley River. From 20 December
1842, when the legislature of South Carolina passed an act providing for the
establishment of The Citadel, to September 1922, the college was located on
Marion Square. Erected as a state arsenal after the Denmark V&amp;sey slave uprising
in 1822, this fortress was called The Citadel.
It was garrisoned by Federal
troops, then by state troops, until they were replaced in March 1843 by 20
students who comprised the first Corps of Cadets.
In 1833, The Arsenal in Columbia was established and it, along with The
Citadel, was a part of the South Carolina Military Academy. In 1845, The Arsenal
became a subsidiary school which took only freshmen, and The Citadel continued
as a four year college. The Arsenal burned in 1865 and was never reopened.
On 9 January 1861, cadets of the Corps drove back the Star of the West from
the entrance of Charleston Harbor. On 28 January 1861, the Corps was made a part
of the military organization by legislative act, and helped emplace and guard
artillery on James Island, performed guard duty in Charleston and suffered
several casualties in engagements with Union troops at Tulifinny Creek near
Yemassee Station on 7 and 9 December 1864.
The operation of the college was suspended when the buildings on Marion
Square were occupied by Federal Troops from 18 February 1865 until April 1879.
On 2 October 1882, The Citadel reopened with an enrollment of 185 cadets.
In 1910 the name of the college was changed to The Citadel, The Military College
of South Carolina. The City Council of Charleston, during the aruninistration
of Mayor T. T. Hyde, gave the state the present site of the college in 1918.
In the fall of 1922, the college began operating at its new location with almost
300 cadets. Today the Corps of Cadets, 2000 strong, continues as an all-male
corps, as has been the case traditionally from its establishment in 1842.

Curriculum

This was the first year of the implementation of the Core
Curriculum. For in-coming students, the change in requirements from
the survey of United States history to Western Civilization
constituted the major change.
In the coming year, the greatest
impact will be a large number of students taking Chemistry or
Biology as their second year science along with one of the several
options
that comprise the
required social science course.
Nonetheless, the transition in its first year to the new core
curriculum went smoothly.
The
National
Council
for
the
Accreditation
of
Teachers'Education (NCATE) conducted its on-site visitation as part
of its accreditation process. Within the last year this prestigious
agency has revamped its guidelines and raised its standards.
Consequently, only one in eight teachers education programs are
receiving full, five year accreditation.
The Citadel's education
unit, consisting of the teaching certification programs in the
Departments of Education, Physical Education, and Psychology, met
all standards and had their programs re-accredited for five years.

14

�The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education approved the
implementation of the Master of Arts degree program in history.
This is a joint effort undertaken with the College of Charleston.
The Citadel will concentrate in the areas of U.S. and European
history, while the College will focus on Third World studies and the
history of the Lowcountry.
The faculty of the Civil and Electrical Engineering Departments
have completed various self-assessment forms in preparation for a
re-accreditation visit in 1990-1991 by the Accreditation Board for
Engineering and Technology (ABET) . Both departments currently enjoy
accreditation from this agency.
3.

Academic Leadership

Lieutenant General Claudius E. Watts III, USAF (Ret.), Citadel
Class of 1958, assumed the presidency in August of 1989. He was
formally installed as president in an inauguration ceremony on 6
April 1990 in the newly renovated McAllister Field House. Delegates
from over 60 colleges, universities and professional societies
attended.
LTC Michael B. Barrett, dean of graduate studies and associate
professor of history, will return to the Department of History in
the fall of 1990. A successor has not yet been named.
Department heads stepping down at the end of school year 1990
are Colonel Robert E. Baldwin, Department of Biology, and Colonel
David D. Johnson, Department of Modern Languages. Colonel Baldwin
had continued as department head on an acting basis when Dr. Gangemi
declined at the last moment to accept that position last year.
Colonel Johnson had completed his first five year appointment as
department head and decided not to seek re-appointment.
Acting
heads for these departments for academic year 1990-1991 are as
follows:
COL Gerald L. Runey, Acting Head, Biology
LTC Frank D. Frohlich, Acting Head, Modern Languages

Academic Enrichment Activities

At the campus-wide and community level, the spring 1990
Greater Issues Address was given by General Alfred M. Gray, USMC,
Commandant of the Marine Corps.
General Gray spoke on the future
of the Marine Corps in light of recent developments in Eastern
Europe and the Soviet Union.
General Andrew J. Goodpaster, USA
(Ret.) and former Chairman of the Atlantic Council, gave the John
C. West Lecture to the Corps of Cadets. General Goodpaster talked
about the role of NATO and the United States now that "World War
III had ended."
Among the major departmental symposia and lectures were the
Inn of Court Readings, the Razor Lecture, the 13th Annual Citadel
Reading Conference, the 5th Citadel Conference on Latin America,
the Citadel Symposium on Southern Politics, the annual meeting of
the Southeastern Nineteenth Century Studies Association, and an
International Conference on Charged Coupled Devices. The military
departments had numerous flag and other officers address various
cadet groups on many topics of interest. That we were able to host
or conduct all these events along with our routine operations
provides ample testimony to the hard work of the staff and faculty
following Hurricane Hugo.
11.

Special Activities

Following state-wide competition, The Citadel received grants
from the S.C. Department of Education to conduct teacher
training
institutes for advanced placement (AP) teachers of english, U.S.
history, and comparative government.
These grants represent the
fifth year in which Citadel faculty have successfully competed in
this state-wide process .
. Project Challenge, a program under the auspices of the
Department of Education, received a major grant of $150,000 from
the Jesse Ball Dupont Foundation.
Project Challenge is an effort
that encompasses Citadel faculty working with near-by Burke High
School in developing and implementing a humanities curriculum. COL
Thomas W. Mahan and LT Luci Bailey of the Education Department
spearhead the project.
18

�Among the many research grants awarded Citadel faculty was a
continuation (3rd year) grant from to the S.C. Commission on Higher
Education to COL Joel Berlingheri of the Physics Department on a
project titled "Construction and Evaluation of Holographic Fourier
Transform Spectrometers." The amount is in excess of $75,000. In
addition, the Commission also approved a grant under the auspices
of the D.D. Eisenhower Science Education Act to LTC Charles Cleaver,
Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, for the continuance
of a project that teaches secondary school teachers how to use
portable calculators in the instruction of mathematics and calculus.

B.

Biology

The Department of Biology offers an undergraduate major
leading to the Bachelor of Science Degree. The program of study is
extremely flexible in that it provides the student a strong
background in biology while at the same time allowing him to obtain
a broad liberal arts education.
The number of undergraduate
students has decreased slightly to between 95-125, with 25
graduating in May.
Congratulations are extended to the twelve
students, both alumni and members of the Class of 1990, who were
accepted by various graduate and professional schools.
In
conjunction with the Department of Education, the department also
offers masters degrees with both a major and minor in biology.
Enrollment in the Department's graduate program has remained
constant with approximately 25 students working toward their
masters degrees.

Chemistry

The Chemistry Departmertt was extremely fortunate that during
Hurricane "Hugo" its facilities sustained relatively minor damage.
Byrd Hall developed some leaks in the roof, and lost a few windows,
but there was no damage to equipment, supplies or furnishings. The
operation of the department, therefore, continued smoothly and with
no disrupti~n.
As in past years, the department is deeply indebted to CDF
for generous financial support of seminars, research and faculty
development.
Three faculty members had research grants and two
received Faculty Development grants.
In addition, Dr. May was
awarded a Sea Grant research grant. These grants produced fruit in
the publication of three papers and the presentation of six papers
22

�at national and regional professional meetings.
The faculty this year has been stable with no new members and
no losses.
We were fortunate to have Dr. Lisa Zuraw serve as
Adjunct Professor.
The implementation of the Core Curriculum in the fall is
likely to have a dramatic effect on the enrollment in introductory
chemistry courses.
We expect that we shall require at least one
additional full time faculty member to accommodate the increased
enrollment.
There were four chemistry majors who graduated in May; all
received the BA degree. One of the these will enter the UNC Dental
School, two have accepted positions in industry, and one will go
into law enforcement.

E.

CIVIL ENGINEERING

One hundred thirty-nine students were enrolled in Civil
Engineering day program this year.
Eighteen seniors graduated in
May 1990. Seventy-seven new freshmen have been approved to commence
the program during Fall 1990.
There were no changes during the year of permanent party
faculty. Dr. Harry C. Saxe completed his duty as the Colonel Louis
LeTellier Distinguished Visiting Professor of Civil Engineering.
His replacement is being arranged.
LTC Thomas J. Anessi and Cpt.
Michael H.S. Woo were tenured and selected for promotion to the rank
of Major. Captain Kenneth P. Brannan was awarded a CDF outstanding
faculty award.
The faculty were most involved in research and professional
development.
Colonel Charles Lindbergh and Major Dennis J. Fallon
presented technical papers at the Fourth National Conference on
Earthquake Engineering. Major Dian, Major Stout, Major Fallon and
Captain Brannan presented papers on undergraduate engineering
education at the Southeastern U.S. Annual Conference of the American
Society of Engineering Education in Charlotte, N.C.
Major Fallon
and Captain Brannan presented another paper at the International
Conference on Engineering Education in Canada.
Captain Brannan
presented a paper at the national American Water Works Association
in California.
Colonel Lindbergh and Captain Murden continued a
sponsored research project to develop a manual for the wind and
seismic design of masonry structures. Captain Brannan and Captain
Wood completed a sponsored environmental engineering study.
This was the year of Hurricane Hugo. The faculty and students
provided significant reconstruction and building code technical
assistance to the state and lowcountry in their recovery.
Colonel
Lindbergh led the formation of a volunteer architect and engineer
assistance organization that provided more than 500 technical
personnel to the state for recovery purposes. The students assisted
23

�and were acknowledged in the national ASCE magazine.
In its final
report, the Governor's Emergency Management Review Panel on Hugo
endorsed the recommendations and efforts of Colonel Lindbergh in
several areas involving improved building standards and other
mitigation measures.
The students also completed another successful year with the
ASCE student chapter, winning a national award for excellence.
A
student delegation also attend a regional ASCE student conference
at the University of North Carolina and another student conference
at Clemson University.
The
ne cessary
application
was
prepared
requesting
reaccreditat ion by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology (ABET).
The reaccreditation visit is scheduled during
the 1990-91 academic year.
The Evening Undergraduate Civil Engineering Program completed
its third year with an increased enrollment.
The cooperative
graduate engineering program directed by Clemson University
continued into its second year with success. The civil engineering
faculty teaches two-thirds of the courses.
Two "Greater Issues in Civil Engineering" seminars were also
conducted. One was entitled "Civil Engineering in the Last Decade
of the 20th Century" and was presented by MR. James E. Sawyer,
National President-Elect ASCE. The other seminar was presented by
Howell C. Jones, Jr., Class of 1950, on "Civil Engineering and
Creative Thinking."

F.

Education Department

The p r ograms of the department have continued to
attract substantial enrollment, particularly at the graduate level.
The graduate programs in education have a combined head count
enrollment of approximately 1100 students.
This number has
continued to grow over the last several years.
Growth in numbers
is at least one measure of the quality of our programs. The "market
place" has indicated a Citadel education at the graduate level is
to be prized.
The Department takes satisfaction in· this
achievement.
The Teacher Education Unit, which includes the Department of
Education, has been preparing for approximately two years for the
accreditation visit of the National Council for the Accrediting of
Teacher Education (NCATE).
This prestigious group has accredited
The Citadel since 1974.
NCATE, since our 1984 visit, has changed
significantly its accreditation process and by most accounts made
the system substantially more rigorous. In the academic year 198889, only six of the forty-six institutions visited by NCATE met all
NCATE standards. The Citadel was visited in February 1990 and the
Board of Examiners of the NCATE found us in compliance with all
standards.
This judgment was confirmed by the Unit Accrediting
24

�Board of NCATE at its April meeting.
The Citadel then continues
among that group of teacher education institutions holding the most
prestigious national recognition available. This accreditation is
good until 1995 when we will be revisited.
In large measure, it is the quality of the faculty that
attracts students and makes for viable programs. The Department is
fortunate to have an outstanding faculty made up of individuals who
are committed to their profession and to their students.
The
Education Department has been hired one new faculty member for 199091.
Dr. Jeffrey Kottler will join us as an associate professor
working primarily with the graduate program in counseling.
Dr.
Kottler comes to us from Michigan with substantial experience in
private practice and in higher education.
He is the author of
several books in his field.
The quality of the faculty in education was recognized further
when Col. Thomas Mahan, Professor of Education, was named the
Governor's Professor of the Year. To be recognized by the State as
the outstanding professor is a high honor for Dr. Mahan and also a
high honor for The Citadel.
In addition, Maj. Linda Elksnin,
Associate Professor of Education, was given the Self Award for
outstanding teaching for the year.
This honor also confirms the
quality of instruction that the Department of Education provides.
In November of 1989, The Citadel and the Department of
Education was honored by a grant from the Jesse Ball Dupont
Foundation of $150,000 to support Project Challenge.
Project
Challenge is a cooperative endeavor between The Citadel and Burke
High School. The focus of the project is on the development of a
unique curriculum and delivery system for "at-risk" students. The
project is highly innovative and preliminary results appear very
positive. The project suggests that faculty in the Department of
Education are actively engaged in scholarly and professional
pursuits that impact directly on the community in which we live and
work. Successful projects such as this create a community
climate where when one thinks of teacher education one thinks of
The Ci tade 1.
Quality is the watchword of the Department of Education. In
order to maintain it and to enhance it, the Department has been
active
in
curriculum rev~s~on,
professional
and
scholarly
activities, participation in state-wide activities, and most
importantly in delivering the curriculum through outstanding
teaching.
The Department looks back at the year with pride and
forward to the challenges of 1990-91.

G.

Electrical Engineering

One hundred and thirty-eight students majored in electrical
engineering this year. This is a 5 percent decrease in enrollment
from the previous year. Twenty-one cadets and two veteran students
graduated in May 1990. Three of the graduated cadets will attend
25

�graduate school beginning this fall.
This year's enrollment in The Citadel's Evening College
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program was sixtysix. Continued growth of this program is anticipated based on this
enrollment and numerous inquiries about the program.
Two laboratories and three offices of the Department,
including a significant amount of equipment, received major water
damage from Hurricane Hugo, but loss of educational time was
minimized by extraordinary efforts of our faculty and staff, as well
as Citadel Physical Plant personnel. A photograph of one of the
laboratories, in its damaged condotion, appeared in the Chronicle
of Higher Education and in Newsnotes of the Precision Measurements
Association.
It is not yet known how much insurance compensation
will be received.
Three months after Hugo, severely cold weather broke water
pipes, with resulting damage to two more of our offices.
The Twenty-Fourth Annual Razor Lecture was presented by Mr.
Richard L. Deal, Citadel '59, president of Richard L. Deal &amp;
Associates (Telecommunications Consultants). Mr. Deal remained an
additional day to lecture to several electrical engineering classes.
Our students were intensely interested in his presentations.
Major Jack Stinson, Faculty Advisor to The Citadel's IEEE
Student Branch, and twenty-four electrical engineering students
attended IEEE Southeastcon '90 in New Orleans, La.
For the fourth year the Power Engineering Educators and
Industry Group of the Southeastern Electric Exchange has presented
The Citadel with a scholarship grant of $1,000 for a student
planning a career in power. This scholarship is made available to
our students in recognition of the excellent power education program
at The Citadel and in appreciation of the contribution of Colonel
Harold W. Askins, Jr. to the Modern Power Systems Analysis course
sponsored annually by the Southeastern Electric Exchange at Auburn
University.
The Electrical Engineering Department was the recipient of
a donation from AT&amp;T Network Systems of fiber optic equipment and
materials valued at $150,000. Mr. F. Harrison Wallace, Jr., Class
of 1977, was instrumental in securing this donation from AT&amp;T. The
material and equipment will enable the department to address this
major emerging technology in our laboratory program.
Design of the replacement of Alumni Hall for the Departments
of Electrical Engineering and Physics was completed in the summer
of 1989 and construction started in the fall.
Completion is
expected in late spring of 1991 with occupancy in the summer of
1991.
26

�The Electrical Engineering faculty is in transition.
Mr.
David Taylor, Visiting Lecturer, will not return in the fall of
1990. Dr. Jack A. Stinson will be on a sabbatical during the 19901991 school year.
An active search is in progress to fill the
William
States
Lee
Endowed
Professorship.
This
endowed
professorship was made possible by a donation from the Duke Power
Company and the State of South Carolina's Cutting Edge program for
higher education.
The faculty continues to build a record of scholarly and
professional achievement.
CPT Tarnal Bose received his second CDF
research grant and submitted a proposal to NSF under the
Instrumentation and Laboratory Improvement Program (under review).
In addition he presented two papers at IEEE Conferences that were
published in the respective Conference Proceedings and has two
published papers in highly respected IEEE Transactions, and one
paper in the Journal of the Franklin Institute. CPT Joe Epple had
a paper presented at the Third DOD Electromagnetic Windows
Symposium. In addition, he continues to work on his Ph.D. research,
making significant progress toward his doctorate in Electrical
Engineering. Professor Jack Stinson is rapidly establishing himself
as a national authority in the area of product data exchange through
his consulting with a group under the direction of the South
Carolina Research Authority.
Professor Stinson received a
sabbatical for the 1990-1991 academic year to participate fully in
the development and implementation of a product data exchange
specification standard. LTC Louis Dornetto continues to be actively
involved in the area of environmental impact and personnel hazards
of electromagnetic energy by serving on an ANSI committee addressing
nonionizing radiation safety criteria, and through his consulting
work with the U.S. Navy. Professor Dornetto also continues his work
in the area of modeling and simulation. He presented a paper at the
twenty- first
annual
Pittsburgh
Conference
on Modeling
and
Simulation, and continues to serve as a reviewer for the IEEE
Control Systems Magazine.
Professor Harold W. Askins was again
invited to be one of the principal lecturers in a Modern Power
Systems Analysis course at Auburn University.
He attended a
technical conference of the Southeastern Electric Exchange in
Charlotte, N ._C.
He serves as Chairman of the Power Engineering
Educators and Industry Group of the Southeastern Electric Exchange.
Professor Askins continues to serve as an IEEE Program Evaluator to
assist the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)
in the evaluation of electrical engineering programs.
Professor
Askins
attended
the
Southeastern Association of Electrical
Engineering Department Heads meeting in Atlanta on November 2-3,
1989 and was elected vice chairman of the Association.
Professor
Askins continues
to serve as a
reviewer for
the Applied
Computational Electromagnetic Society (ACES).
COL and Professor
Emeritus James F. Scoggin helped the department meet its teaching
commitments by teaching a laboratory course during the year and he
continues his loyal support of the South Carolina Gamma Chapter of
Tau Beta Pi. All faculty members continue to perform as dedicated
teachers, conscientious counselors, valued members of the academic
community and professional engineers.

�H.

English

In pursuit of the multi-phase self-study begun last year,
Colonel Tucker conflated the old Freshman and Sophomore committees
into a single departmental Core Curriculum Department under the
chairmanship of Major Suzanne 0. Edwards. This committee completed
its review of the English 102 course, formulated objectives and
standards, and submitted the new policy to the department in April
1990, toge the r with suggestions for the assessment of the entire
Composition and Literature sequence (English 101-102), and the
proposal was adopted as official policy.
The department also
established a new Assessment Committee, to be chaired by Colonel
Tucker, with the objective of implementing the assessment program
in the 1990-1991 academic year.
All arrangements have now been
'c ompleted for assessment at the beginning of the Fall Semester, and
the department is proud to emerge, as is customary, in the lead, for
no other department has established its own program of college-wide
assessment . During the 1990-1991 academic year, the Core Curriculum
Committee will conduct a similar analysis of the objectives of the
Major British Authors courses (English 201-202), while the English
Curriculum Committee will work upon a proposal for assessing the
English major.
The Assessment Committee is charged with the
implementation of a full scale assessment program for 1991-1992.
To a very large extent, the department is already in a
position to demonstrate its overall success, for we receive dozens
of reports from successful alumni. It is safe to say that all our
English majors who have gone to law school have fared extremely
well.
This past year, eleven English majors took the Law School
Admissions Test with an average score of 37 (the 84th percentile)
and all those who have applied to law school have been accepted.
Because of this success, the department has therefore sustained its
high reputation among cadets, and we have continued to show about
90 majors on our books.
In fact, with twenty-one graduates, the
department lies fifth among all departments in graduating seniors.
The quality of teaching, scholarship and service remains high.
Colonel Tucker, Major Shields, Major Allen, and Captain Mailloux won
Faculty Achievement Awards from The Citadel Development Foundation.
Professors Tucker, Edwards, Leonard, Allen, and Wharton gave a total
of fifteen papers at scholarly conferences, while Professors Allen,
O'Neil, Leonard, Shields, and Tucker published eight articles. Four
others were called upon to give lectures in various forums, and two
books were published: Professor Tucker's Pedantius:Comoedia Acta in
Collegio Sancti Trinitatis (Georg Olms Verlag) and Professor Robert
A. White and David G. Allen's Traditions and Innovations: Essays on
British Literature of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance
(University of Delaware Press). Professors Suzanne Edwards and Jack
W. Rhodes published volume four of Nineteenth-Century Studies,
Professor James S. Leonard published two issues of the Mark Twain
Circular, Professor Thomas A. Tenney published another issue of the
Mark Twain J ournal, and Professor James A. W. Rembert published two
issues of the SEASECS Newsletter. Captain Margaret M. Lally also
published several long sections of her poem, Anna Swan, in the
28

�prestigious poetry journal The Kenyon Review. Professors David S.
Shields and James M. Hutchisson also contributed sections of the
new Heath Anthology of American Literature. As many as seven books
are under contract and due to appear, and in order to sustain their
continuing research plans, Professors Allen, Edwards, Hutchisson,
Leonard, Mailloux, Rhodes, and Shields have received CDF Research
Awards.
Professor Shields also won a grant from the American
Philosophical Society and Professor Hutchisson has landed a travel
grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Professor
James S. Leonard has now completed his sabbatical, and Professor
DavidS. Shields has been awarded a sabbatical leave for 1990-1991.
Major Rhodes and Major Edwards made all local arrangements for the
annual meeting of the Southeastern Nineteenth-Century Studies
Association.
Professor Shields conducted the planning for the English
departmental seminar featuring Professor Robert A. Ferguson,
Professor of English and Professor of Law at Columbia University,
who spoke on "Law Schools and the Mystique of Legal Education."
Professor Tucker continued as Advisor-in-Chief to The Citadel Inn
cf Court and supervised the two major reading programs, the LSAT
Workshop, the Mock Trials, and the Moot Court program, while also
serving as Executive Director of The Citadel American Inn of Court.
Colonel Tucker also contributed a section of the Judicial Continuing
Legal Education seminar for the S. C. Bar Association in March 1990.
With Judge Klyde Robinson, he also attended the Sixth Annual
Convention of the American Inns of Court Foundation in Washington,
D. C. and experienced the unusual privilege of dining at the United
States Supreme Court.
Professor Jack W. Rhodes has now earned promotion to the rank
of Professor with the military rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and
Professor Peter A. Mailloux has been promoted to Associate Professor
with the rank of Major. Otherwise, the department has suffered no
retirements nor resignations and has hired no new teaching staff.
Mrs. MaryS. Furlow retired after many years of splendid service to
the department and the college. Our new administrative assistant,
Mrs. Libby 0. Walker, joined us in August 1989.
I.

History

The Academic Year 1989-1990 saw several personnel changes in
the Department of History, commencing with the retirement of Captain
JohnS. Coussons from office of the Head, effective 20 August 1989,
after twelve years of service. Captain Coussons spent the academic
year on sabbatical. Colonel Larry H. Addington was made Acting Head
for school years 1989-1990 and 1990-1991. Other personnel changes
include the promotion of Lieutenant Colonel Winfred B. Moore, Jr.,
from Associate Professor to Professor; the retirement of Commander,
USN, Lyon C. Tyler, Jr., after eighteen years of service; and the
continuance of Captain Jane Bishop as an Assistant Professor in
probationary status.
29

�The most significant curriculum change for the 1989-1990 year
was the implementation of two semesters of Western Civilization as
the required Core course for all 4th classmen except History majors
beginning in the fall of 1989. At the end of the school year, the
department voted to require History majors as well to take two
semesters of Western Civilization commencing in the fall of 1991,
and a revised major curriculum will be devised accordingly. In May
1990, the Commission on Higher Education formally approved a joint
M.A. degree in History in collaboration with the College of
Charleston, the implementation to begin in the fall semester of
1990.
The state-mandated self-assessment program as applied to the
History Department has so far consisted of an exit questionnaire of
graduating majors, a process that will continue in the future years.
In addition, work on entry and exit examinations is being
considered, though further guidance from the school will be
necessary before a system can be put into place by fall 1991.
Hurricane Hugo damaged many homes of faculty of the department
in September 1989 and suspended operations of the school for
sometime. The History Department was fortunate that its physical
facilities received only minor damage and it was able to commence
full operations when the school reopened.
Despite the disruption done to the lives of several of our
faculty by the hurricane, they continued to be a highly productive
group of people in the areas of research and publication as well as
in those of teaching and service.
Colonel Larry H. Addington published the second volume of his
two-volume study of the history of the patterns of war, the second
volume, like the first, being partially funded by the Citadel
Development Foundation. Captain Jane Bishop published a co-edited
translation of a medieval writing, filled in for a sick professor
for most of a semester, and served at a shelter during Hurricane
Hugo. Colonel John W. Gordon presented a paper to the Naval History
Symposium at Annapolis, completed an essay to appear in a collection
on Churchill's generals, and was made a member of the committee for
the award of the Birdsall Prize in European Military History for the
American Historical Association. Colonel William L. Harris gave a
paper at a regional meeting and organized two conferences on Latin
America at The Citadel.
He also served as advisor to the local
chapter of Phi Alpha Theta, the national history honor society.
Colonel Jamie W. Moore co-authored a book on the Army Corps of
Engineer's flood plain management policy, and presented a guest
lecture in the Dean Rusk Lecture Series at Davidson College.
He
was recommended for, and received, a Citadel Development Foundation
Fellowship for the next three years. Colonel Gary Nichols published
an article on the economic impact of the Thirty Years' War in
Hapsburg Austria, served as Acting Vice Head of the department, and
originated a program that will allow a designated CDF cadet
recipient to undertake an internship at the U.S. Army Military
History Institute at Carlisle Barracks, Pa.
30

�Lieutenant Colonel Joseph F. Tripp co-edited a manuscript of
essays on the American South, served as a consultant to the
Charleston County School District, and played an outstanding role
in handling departmental schedules. He was co-advisor of the Inn
of Court and local chapter president of Phi Kappa Phi.
Colonel
David H. White, Jr., a most conscientious teacher, served as a
discussant on a panel sponsored by the Atlantic Council, reached
draft stage on a scholarly paper, and served on numerous committees
both within and without the department.
The department received a full allotment of ancient world maps
late in the year, a necessary equipment for the Western Civilization
courses, and most of the department is now equipped with word
processors.
The increasing use of VCR tapes will require an
expansion of our TV resources in the future.

Mathematics and Computer Science

The Department of Mathematics and Computer Science offers a
wide variety of courses in an effort to meet the demands of a
rapidly changing age of technology in which mathematics and computer
science are playing an ever increasing role. Service courses are
offered for the entire college as well as degree programs in
mathematics and computer science.
The number of majors in mathematics and computer science
decreased from the previous year. Approximately 125 students were
pursuing degrees from among the eight program options offered. The
number of undergraduates receiving a bachelor's degree in May, 1990
was 16. A few others will complete requirements by August.
In conjunction with the Department of Education, graduate
courses for middle and secondary teachers continue to be offered in
the evening along with undergraduate courses for the Evening College
and Engineering programs.
The department received a D. D.
Eisenhower Grant through CHE to offer courses for middle and
secondary mathematics teachers on the use of calculators in the
classroom.
Additionally, the department also taught courses for
several school districts funded by EIA.
As in the past, The Citadel Development Foundation has
enhanced the department with grants to individuals and the
department. Colonel Comer continued as a CDF fellow while CPT Chen,
MAJ Cohn, CPT Deutz, LTC Greim, MAJ Hoyle, MAJ Hurd, CPT Riedel, and
MAJ Zahid all received research grants. Faculty development grants
were received by MAJ Francel, CPT Lipscomb, and MP.J Pages.
Additionally, the department was able to attract several speakers
to the campus by using CDF funds.
As evidenced by the number of research and faculty
development grants mentioned above, the scholarly activity in the
department continued at a high level. Professors Comer and Greim
gave invited lectures at National and International meetings and
31

�several members gave talks at regional and local meetings.
CPT David Trautman received the James A. Grimsley Outstanding
Teaching Award.
He also received tenure and was promoted to
Associate Professor.
Majors Crabtree, Denig, and Pages were
promoted to Lieutenant Colonel, and LTC Cleaver was promoted to
Colonel.

K.

Mode rn Languages

This year's academic ac ti vi ties can best be described as
progressive.
The placement exams for entering students are being
refined;
the Russian and German language classes are also now
increasing students' use of the language to communicate in the
classroom;
two advanced courses that will accommodate French,
German, and Spanish language majors in the same class were approved;
and groundwork was laid for a study abroad program in Germany to
complement ongoing programs in France and in Spain.
We are now
seeing the results of several years' efforts to improve language
instruction on the elementary and intermediate level, namely a
noticeable improvement of the students' skills at communication and
comprehension. A more concrete effect is seen in increasing numbers
of students in the advanced courses, and in the number of majors in
the program - thirty-two, four of whom are double majors from other
departments. This number is an all-time high for the department.
Improvements in language instruction come from a dedicated
staff: one half-time, four tenured professors, two on first year
tenure track, and four visiting instructors. All eligible members
have taken an active part in service to the school:
for example,
MAJ Robert Emory was a member of four standing committees in
addition to other school-wide assignments.
The members of the teaching staff were also active in
scholarly activities.
CPT Elba Andrade's review of Feminism and
Theatre and an article "Discurso pitico y axiologia socialcristiana en Nos tomamos la universidad", appeared in issues of
Gestos.
Professors Elba Andrade, David Johnson, and Grant Staley
presented papers, and Visiting Instructor Joy Young presented two
papers at professional meetings.
Also Professors Andrade, Emory,
Frank Frohlich, Albert Gurganus, Staley and visiting instructors
Carolina wagner and Carol Young represented the department at
various state and local professional meetings.
Awards seem to come to a dedicated staff.
Visiting
instructors Carol Young and Carolina Wagner received a King Juan
Carlos Fellowship to study in Madrid University this summer.
In
addition, s upport from CDF has always had a crucial impact on the
development of our faculty .
Recipients were Captains Andrade and
Gurganus wh o received research grants. Professor Andrade received
support to publish her book; LTC Staley received support to attend
a workshop on Oral Proficiency; and MAJ Christopher McRae received
sabbatical leave support. And last, but not least, Professors Emory
32

�and Staley were recipients
Achievement Awards.

Faculty

As the new academic year starts, there will be some personnel
changes . LTC Frohlich has been named acting head of the department
as COL Johnson, having completed his five year term as head, returns
to full-time teaching. Professor McRae will return from sabbatical
leave, and Visiting Instructors Joy Young and Eileen Howe have
accepted employment elsewhere.

Montreal. The symposium trip was funded by a CDF grant.
Twenty-two health and physical education majors attended the
national convention of AAHPERD in New Orleans.
Several cadets
participated for the S.C. team which won the "Super Stars" national
competition. Blaine Hite was recognized by NASPE as the college's
physical education major of the year.
Jay Grissom received the
Keith Hamilton Award from Mrs. Jean Hamilton at the Cadet Awards
Banquet.
The award is for sustained scholarship, effort and
attitude.
The cadet physical education majors enjoyed four evening
program speakers and also attended the Cooper River Bridge Run
Symposium.
The cadet majors also hosted a fellowship night with
competition against the faculty. The department also hosted the
Cooper River Bridge Run Symposium.
The symposium featured three
internationally renowned scholars, Dr. Charles Dillman, Dr. Steve
Blair, and Dr. Russ Pate, who spoke to two hundred guests and
cadets.
The undergraduate and graduate programs received positive
evaluations from the professional accreditation arm of NCATE. The
National Association for Sport and Physical Education endorsed both
programs to NCATE in the Spring 1990 review.

Physics

Hurricane Hugo blew the roof off the east end of Bond Hall
where the Department of Physics facilities are located, and the
deluge that followed dropped hard plaster ceilings and brought down
fluorescent lights, sprinkler systems and suspended acoustical
ceilings, crushing department material and littering facilities with
dirt, plaster and twisted metal.
Everything lay buried under a
layer of acoustical tile turned to "oatmeal mush" by rain that
continued for three days after the hurricane.
In six offices and
an anteroom, four equipment storage rooms, two classrooms, three
laboratories, a student study and all the hallways, almost every
commodity --books, papers, equipment, supplies, personal effects - was soaking wet.
Many items were crushed or otherwise damaged
beyond repair, requiring immediate disposal.
Nonetheless, the
department resumed the semester on October 9 as scheduled. On two
separate subsequent occasions, the department moved all effects out
of offices, once for painting and once for carpeting, and moved it
all back into the offices again.
Mr. Braxton Simmons, department
technician and laboratory manager, not only rendered great service
through the immediate hurricane recovery period, but also donated
untold hours afterward in the restoration of damaged equipment and
facilities. Despite the havoc wrecked so early in the academic year
by the hurricane,
the Department of Physics experienced a
particularly productive and notable year as indicated by the
following activities.

�An international conference on charged coupled devices was
organized and sponsored jointly by the Department of Physics at The
Citadel and the Department of Physics at the College of Charleston.
It was held March 15-17, 1990 and attracted an international
audience of 65 scientists. Some 40 scientific papers were presented
during the three days.
A unique and automated photoelectric telescope located near
Tucson, Arizona became operational in September 1989 and has during
the past year continuously produced astronomical data which is being
reduced and analyzed by faculty and students in the Department of
Physics at The Citadel, one of the four college owners of the
instrument.
A one-hour television special entitled The Perfect Stargazer
was produced by South Carolina Educational Television and featured
physics department faculty members at The Citadel and the College
of Charleston involved with the four-college automated photoelectric
telescope on-site in Tucson, Arizona and the in the analysis of data
in Charleston.
The Citadel campus and several activities at The
Citadel were featured in the television program as well as extensive
interviews with LTC Saul Adelman of the Department of Physics at The
Citadel.
The $61,305 second-year phase of a three-year Cutting Edge
grant from SCCHE was approved in July 1989 to continue a major
research project on "Construction and Evaluation of Holographic
Fourier Transform Spectrometers."
Several physics department
faculty members are involved in the project with COL Joel
Berlinghieri, the Principal Investigator.
The high resolution
bandwidth of the optical spectra was significantly extended as a
result of the research accomplished the past year.
Faculty members in the Department of Physics had a total of
16 scientific papers published in refereed physics journals the past
year, presented 12 papers at scientific meetings, administered 5
outside research grants and 5 CDF research grants, and received one
faculty enhancement grant.
A monthly seminar program for faculty and students included
the following participants:
MAJ Patrick Briggs, The Citadel, Non-Linear Dynamics and
Chaos; Tricia Reeves, University of South Carolina, Collision of
High Energy Ions/Neutral Atoms; Joyce Bagwell, Baptist College at
Charleston, Earthquakes in South Carolina; COL Charles Lindbergh,

�The Citadel chapter of the Society of Physics Students under
the leadership of CPT Russell Hilleke traveled to Huntsville,
Alabama in January, 1990 to visit the Marshall Space Flight Center
and the NASA Space and Rocket Center.
The department continued its special laboratory program
directed by MAJ Patrick Briggs for science students at Rivers Middle
School and Burke High School.
LTC Saul Adelman received a second
consecutive t hree-year CDF Faculty Fellowship. He also received a
full Sabbatical Leave for the 1990-91 academic year.
MAJ Patrick
Briggs was 1989-90 Chairman of Faculty Council in which capacity he
presented the 1989 Summer Commencement address and delivered the
response for the faculty during the Inauguration ceremony for
President Watts.
MAJ Peter Rembiesa was on Sabbatical Leave this
past year doing full-time research in Quantum Electrodynamics.
Dr. Silvio G. Zenone has completed his second year as visiting
Adjunct Professor of Physics.
Cadet Jeffrey Alan Garrett, a senior physics major from
Greenwood, SC, received the 1989-90 General Wallace E. Anderson
Scholarship, a $500 award named in honor of the former Academic Vice
President and Professor of Physics at The Citadel.

Finally, it should be noted that even as the hurricane was
taking its toll, construction was beginning on Alumni Hall as a new
facility to house the departments of Physics and Electrical
Engineering and has progressed at a very rapid and impressive rate.

Political Science

The Department of Political Science offers a major which
permits each student to concentrate his study in the area of his
interest while at the same time affording him an opportunity to
obtain a broad liberal arts education that will enrich his life,
acquaint him with the rights and responsibilities of citizenship,
and prepare him for a satisfying career.
Graduates of the department enter military service, public
administration, law, criminal justice, graduate and professional
schools, business, and federal and state government.
In order to
prepare graduating seniors for graduate and law schools and
professional employment, seminars and workshops are conducted
annually on the Foreign Service test, Graduate Record Examination,
Law School Admission Test, and Civil Service employment.
Each
member of the departmental faculty is readily available for
individual consultations regarding career guidance for our majors.

of

The Political Science Curriculum permits one of three areas
concentration:
(A) American Government and Politics, (B)

36

�International Politics and Military Affairs, and (C) Law and
Criminal Justice.
The curriculum is designed to make sequential
and developmental learning likely and seeks to avoid a random,
smorgasbord approach. Serious attention is being given to "writing
across the curriculum" and to improving our students' quantitative
and analytical skills.
Extracurricular activities are an important part of our
students' education. As is customary, the department supported the
conferences held at the various military academies by sending
student representatives. Additionally, two students attended the
Center for the Study of the Presidency's National Student Conference
in Washington, D.C., and a delegation of students, accompanied by
CPT December Green, participated in a model Organization of African
Unity session at Howard University. With the help of their faculty
adviser, cadets are required to engage in extensive preparations
before attending these conferences. Student organizations such as
Pi Sigma Alpha (Political Science Honor Society), Sigma Iota Rho
(International Honor Society), the Political Science Club, the South
Carolina Student Legislature, and the Debate Team all received
strong support from the departmental faculty.
The Internship Program continues to be successful and provides
students an opportunity to apply what they learn in the classroom
in various governmental agencies. During 1989-1990, students served
internships with several departments of the City of Charleston
(Minority
Business
Enterprise,
Cultural
Affairs,
Downtown
Revitalization, and Community Development), the Charleston County
Sheriff's Office, the City of Charleston Police Department, the 9th
Circuit Public Defender's Office, several departments of the Medical
University of South Carolina, a number of private law firms, and the
Charleston office of the South Carolina Pardon, Parole, and
Community Corrections Department.
The department routinely offers a variety of special courses
each year. During the report year, Adjunct Professor Lee Robinson
taught a course on police administration and Ambassador Joseph
Twinam taught Topics in International Politics with special emphasis
on the Middle East and American Foreign Policy decision making.
Professor Arcilesi also developed a Special Topics course on change
in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. These courses are designed
to reflect current political issues and keep students abreast of
contemporary developments.
The departmental faculty continued during 1989-1990 to be
extremely active within the profession. Research papers have been
presented at the following scholarly meetings:
Georgia Political Science Meeting
Latin American Conferences
International Studies Association
Northeastern Political Science Association
African Studies Association
Western Political Science Association
37

�National Association of Black Political
Scientists
Southern Political Science Association
Far West Culture Association
Midwestern Political Science Association
Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and
Society
Citadel Symposium on Southern Politics
In addition, one book (The Disappearing South? Studies in Regional
Change and Continuity, edited by Professors Robert P. Steed,
Laurence W. Moreland, and Tod A. Baker) was published by the
University of Alabama Press, three other book manuscripts went into
publication, and several articles and book chapters written by
members of the Political Science faculty were published. Sponsored
by a grant from The Citadel Development Foundation, the department
sponsored the Seventh Citadel Symposium on Southern Politics.
Attended by approximately 80 scholars from around the nation, this
conference has come to be recognized nationally as the leading forum
for the presentation and discussion of southern politics research.
Finally, with the help of a generous grant from The Citadel
Development Foundation, the department has worked to enhance its
resource materials on Foreign Area Studies and to develop new
courses in Third World Studies; in this vein, planning began for a
conference on Area Studies to be held at The cltadel during the
spring of 1991.
The Department of Political Science is sensitive to its role
in the community and continues to cooperate with various
organizations in providing speakers on such issues as political
campaigning,
foreign policy,
and the American Constitution.
Professor Milton Boykin and Ambassador Twinam have been especially
active in the Charleston Foreign Affairs Forum, a community based
group composed of leading citizens concerned with serious
discussions of international politics.

Psychology

The Department of Psychology experienced a challenging and
successful year.
The School Psychology program met all standards
for accreditation as required by the National Council for the
Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE). The faculty maintained
its reputation for outstanding performance and assumed major
leadership roles in state organizations.
CPT Kenneth D. Cole was
elected President-Elect of the South Carolina Association of School
Psychologists (SCASP) and Representative-at-Large of the South
Carolina Psychological Association (SCPA).
Col D. Oliver Bowman
assumed the presidency of the South Carolina Psychological
Association.
Col Thomas W. Mahan delivered the keynote address,
"Naked Without a Mirror," at the Joint Annual Conference of SCPA
and SCASP and was a singularly honored by SCPA for his lifetime
contributions to psychology.
Our department takes great pride in
its leadership role in psychology in South Carolina and in the
38

�quality of its academic programs.
The undergraduate major in psychology is designed around a
broad liberal education whereby the learnings in the humanities and
the sciences are integrated through an emphasis on the study of
human behavior.
Students in psychology develop an approach to
learning which combines an empirical, objective methodology built
upon observational and statistical strategies with skill in
discerning patterns across data which permits theory construction
and analysis.
Students who graduate from this major are expected
to have the knowledge base and the data analysis skills which would
support graduate study in any of the specialty areas of psychology.
They also should be well prepared for employment in positions which
require understanding and motivating others. The graduate major in
school psychology prepares students to deal with psychological and
educational problems of children and adults and to improve the
psychological milieu of school environments.
Fifty-eight undergraduate students majored in psychology this
year.
Of the ten May graduates, one was accepted into a graduate
program in clinical psychology, one was admitted to law school, five
are employed in business, one is employed in government, and two
accepted military commissions.
Fifty-six graduate students are
enrolled in the school psychology program.
Six students were
awarded the Ed.S. degree in school psychology in May.
During the academic year, 575 undergraduate students and 309
graduate students enrolled in psychology courses.
Average
enrollment in undergraduate classes was 27 and in graduate classes
20. Enrolled in undergraduate psychology courses in the 1990 first
summer session were 38 students with an average class enrollment of
19 and 96 graduate students with an average class enrollment of 14 .
Utilizing CDF funds, the department presented Dr. Michael A.
Kollar in a public lecture and demonstration on the use of
hypnotherapy in counseling and in a one-day workshop on hypnotic
induction techniques.
The department was host for the spring meeting of the
Charleston Area Psychological Association, presenting student
researchers from the Baptist College, the College of Charleston,
and The Citadel. Representing The Citadel were Cadet Philip DuBose,
who presented his research,
"Self-monitoring Ability,
Humor
Generation, and Cartoons," and Beth Walker, graduate student in
school psychology, who presented her work, "The Use of a Token
Economy Program for Decreasing Inappropriate Behavior in Mentally
Retarded Adults in a Residential Setting."
Faculty members enjoyed a professionally active year. Eighty
percent of the psychology faculty received CDF Faculty Development
Grants.
Sixty percent were awarded CDF research grants.
Eighty
percent presented at state meetings, sixty percent presented at
regional meetings, and forty percent presented at national meetings.
One hundred percent attended local professional meetings. The five
39

�full-time faculty served on 18 standing college committees,
conducted 14 major workshops, and delivered seven major addresses.
Schola rly activity remained at a high level. Representative
examples of this activity are noted. Col Michael D. Doran received
a CDF research grant to continue his research on humor and presented
a paper entitled, "Self-monitoring Ability, Humor Generation and
Acronyms," jointly authored by COL D. Oliver Bowman, CPT Kenneth D.
Cole and LT Christopher Keene at the Joint Conference of SCPA and
SCASP.
Col Aline M. Mahan spoke on the topic,
"Learning
Disabilities and Twins," at the national convention of the Mothers
of Twins Clubs, Inc.; was a symposium discussant on issues in
psychology, addressing concerns on sequencing of courses in the
undergraduate psychology major at the Joint Conference of SCPA and
SCASP; presented at a workshop, "Families and Disaster Recovery-Hurricane Hugo"; and conducted a workshop in identifying children
with learning disabilities.
LTC James D. Pietrangeli served as
judge of student research papers in the behavioral sciences at the
Annual Meeting of the South Carolina Junior Academy of Sciences,
attended the Second Annual SCHEA Network Conference on the
Assessment of Institutional Effectiveness, and participated in a
workshop on "Proven Classroom Teaching Techniques." CPT Kenneth D.
Cole, who joined the faculty this year, presented a paper,
"Identification and Treatment of Socially Maladjusted Adolescents,"
at the Annual Meeting of the National Association of School
Psychologists and conducted a workshop, "School Psychology Review,"
for practicing school psychologists. He published an article, "Bad
Toys for Good Boys and Girls," in the Spring Edition of The School
Psychology Scene.
COL D. Oliver Bowman presided and presented at
a paper session on Child Clinical Techniques at the Annual
Convention of the Southeastern Psychological Association; spoke on
the topic, "Looking Out, Looking In; Self-Esteem Enhancement," at
the national convention of the Mothers of Twins Clubs, Inc.; was
keynote speaker at the Spring Meeting of the Tri-County Association
for Counseling Development, speaking on the topic, "The Changing
Face of the Professional Counselor"; was keynote speaker at the
Charleston County Library Staff Day, addressing the group on
"Motivational Techniques for Employees of Government Bodies"; and
presented two in-service workshops, "Working Together for the
Benefit of the Child," for teachers and school psychologists.
The Student Counseling Center remained active in providing
vital services to students and faculty.
The Center experienced a
two percent increase in demand for counseling services this year.
During 1989-90, the Center provided 1,940 contact hours:
589
personal counseling hours, 296 educational assessment hours, 85
alcohol awareness hours, 440 barracks outreach hours, 210 infirmary
visitation hours, and 320 Evening College admissions testing hours.
As a resul t of Hurricane Hugo, The Student Counseling Center was
unable to move to Thompson Hall as originally scheduled, requiring
that the activities of the Center be split, with some office space
in both Bond Hall and Capers Hall.
The staff was diligent in
meeting t he regular responsibilities of the Center as well as
dealing with the additional prob~ems relating to post-Hugo stress,
40

�even with these space restrictions. Both MAJ Robert J. Sauers and
LT Christopher Keene were active in professional activities. They
attended a two-day workshop, "Topics in MMPI-2 Interpretation." LT
Keene voluntee red group counseling services to The Citadel/Burke
High Schoo l Project Challenge and attended a Drug Seminar at the
College of William and Mary.
MAJ Sauers assumed the additional
responsibi li ties of Assist~nt to the Dean of Undergraduate Studies.

countries. The foreign countries represented in the corps of Cadets
are England, Honduras, Jordan, Nicaragua, Nigeria, Panama, and
Thailand.

R.

Admissions

The 1989-90 entering freshmen class was the smallest in
recent years.
This occurred because of a reduction in the number
of overflow spaces outside the barracks and because of the
construction taking place on campus. The entering class had one of
the highest percent of in-state students (54%) for the 1980's. The
academic profile was excellent.
The average on the SAT was 1010,
average GPR was 3.0 out of a 4.0, and the class rank averaged in the
top 1/3.
Thirty-three states were represented and 40 counties in
South Carolina.
Business Administration continued to be the most
popular major followed by Political Science and Engineering. Seven
percent (7%) of the entering class were minority students, an
increase over the last several years. The veterans program had an
increase in .?tudents.
This was aided by the increase of Marine
Enlisted Commissioning Education Program (MECEP) students.
They
have, over the last several years, become more interested in The
Citadel as the institution to further their education.
There was
also an increase in the number of prospective students visiting the
campus.
Over 900 took advantage of the overnight visitation
program.
The recruiting program was aided by the services of many of
our alumni who voluntarily attended college day programs and
organized visits to the campus.
The Cadet Corps continues to be
the best spokesman for the admissions/recruiting process.
The
cadet-to-prospective student dialogue is crucial in allowing the
prospective student to understand the lifestyle and opportunities
available on campus.
43

�S.

Scholarship

Academic scholarships are a significant attraction to highly
qualified high school graduates. They also serve as an incentive
for cadets already enrolled in the Corps to make the extra efforts
to achieve academic excellence and superior all-around student
records in order to compete for the awards available to them.
For the Academic Year 1989-90, awards were made to 113
freshmen, 87 rising sophomores, 130 rising juniors, and 126 rising
seniors.
A total of 456 academic scholarships, ranging in value
from $100 for one year to all expenses for four years, were awarded.
The total value of these scholarships was $861,349.
The average
award for all students was $1,809. The academic scholarships are
awarded on the basis of academic standing, leadership, and other
attributes desirable for members of the Corps of Cadets.
In addition to the academic scholarships, 179 cadets held ROTC
scholarships. 70 of the ROTC scholarships were awarded by the Army
program, 73 were Naval and, 36 were Air Force scholarships. ROTC
scholarships pay fees, tuition, books, and laboratory costs, and
they give each recipient $100 a month for 10 months of the year.
Total monetary value of the ROTC scholarships was $776,328, plus
$1,000 a year per recipient.
Under Category IV (outside scholarships) 105 students received
$114,161.
T.

Student Aid Program

Under the authorization of the Higher Education Act of 1958,
as amended, The Citadel continued to operate seven major Federally
funded programs during the 1989-90 year: Pell Grant (PELL), Perkins
Loan (Formally National Direct Student Loan (NDSL], Supplemental
Educational Opportunity Grant (SEOG), College Work-Study (CWS), the
Stafford Loan (STAF), the Plus Loan (PLUS), and Student Loan
Supplement (SLS).
These programs have assisted students with
$2,069,294.
As a supplement to these programs, The Citadel provided aid
to 86 students in the amount of $99,000. The main contributors to
this supplement have been The Citadel Development Foundation (CDF),
through loans and grants, and Stackhouse Loan Program. Under the
CDF Loans, 16 students were assisted with $25,000, and under the CDF
grants, 68 students were aided with $71,000; Stackhouse loans in the
amount of $3,000 were awarded to 2 students.
PELL
During the 1989-90 year, the PELL program has made awards,
ranging from $200 to $2,300, available to 270 students for a total
of $371,637.
This was an increase of $19,277 from the previous
year. This increase was due to Congress' appropriation of more
money for this program and adjustments in formulas used to determine
44

�the amount of money for which students were eligible.
PERKINS LOAN (PERK)
The average loan under the PERK program this year was $1,299.
This program aided 49 stud~nts who were awarded $63,650 in loans.
Our delinquent NDSL and PERK accounts continue to be collected
by Todd Bremer, and Lawson.
In addition to the professional
collector, the state of South Carolina permits the State Treasurer
to withhold tax refunds of borrowers who are in default. Names of
defaulted borrowers were reported to the Treasurer for collection.

SEOG
The SEOG program, which made money available to our most needy
students, assisted 45 students with grants totaling $21,650. The
average of these awards was $481. Changes in the law requires the
institution to match 5% of money awarded in this program with
institutional grant money. This match was made with CDF grant money
to SEOG recipients.

cws
This program allowed 40 students $22,000 during the past
school year. These students were paid minimum wage, $3.35 per hour
until April 1990. At this time minimum wage increased to $3.80 per
hour. In April 1991 minimum wage will increase to $4.00. Also this
year the institutional's required matching funds for the program
increased from 20% to 25%.
GSL
Under this program, 371 students applied for loans, and these
students were granted $859,958 in long term, low interest loans.
All loans, regardless of income, required a need analysis. This has
reduced aid for which students have in the past qualified. With the
need analysis required for everyone, aid through this program will
continue to decrease in the coming year.
PLUS
Through this program parents were eligible to borrow up to
$4, 000 per year.
Repayment began 60 days after the check was
written, and the payment was a minimum of $60 per month. Of those
applying 178 families utilized this program and received $625,399.

4--5

�SLS
For students whose parents were turned down for a Plus Loan
and for independent students, this loan was developed. The terms
are identical to those of the PLUS except that a student may defer
repayment until after he gets out of school. This year 36 students
used the program and received $105,000.

TLP
Eight (8) students who were Education majors and plan to teach
in South Carolina have qualified for $29,793. Through this program,
the loan may be cancelled on a percentage basis for the number of
years taught in low income schools or in a critical subject area.
PRIVATE LOANS
In 1989-90 a number of students who could not qualify for
Stafford Loans have used private loans (Teri, Excel, Concern, etc.).
These programs allow a student or parent to borrow up to $28,000 per
year based on credit rating.
Thirty-two (32) students received
assistance amounting to $1000,642 through these programs.
U.

Information Resources Management

Computing at The Citadel continued to progress during the
1989-90 school year, though at a slower pace than in the two
preceding years.
The college's central VAX computer system was
upgraded for the third time in three years, one new lab was opened,
and an on-line service request system and two more administrative
systems were implemented. In addition, IRM was organized into four
units--VAX Network Operations, Hardware Support Services, Software
Support Services, and Administrative Information Systems. Finall,
The Citadel's computing environment was featured in the cover story
of the Spring 1990 issue of Cause/ Effect magazine.
VAX Network Operations
As the year began the hub of The Citadel's campuswide network
consisted of two clustered Digital Equipment Corporation computers-a VAX 6320 and a VAX 8530. In January the 6320 was upgraded to a
6420, which increased the cluster's total computing power by twothirds. This upgrade was again funded by a grant from the Citadel
Development Foundation and was necessary to support the continuing
implementation of the college's library automation system and the
increasing faculty and student use. During an average weekday about
70 people are logged into the VAX network most of the day.
During the course of the year, Hardware Support Services staff
connected 100 more microcomputers and terminals to the VAX network,
raising the total from 300 to 400.
However, the large-scale
46

�extension of the network into the barracks was delayed.
Fortunately no core VAX network components were damaged by Hurricane
Hugo, and network operations resumed as soon as electrical service
was restored.

Hardware Support Services
The weather did keep Hardware Support Services staff playing
catch-up most of the year. The summer began with a series of severe
lightning storms that damaged more than 100 microcomputers and
terminals connected to the VAX network. July, August, and the first
half of September were spent repairing these devices and installing data-line surge suppressors to prevent future damage.
Surprisingly, Hurricane Hugo caused considerably less damage
to Citadel computing equipment than did the earlier lightning
storms.
This was primarily due to the preventive efforts of
Hardware Support Services technicians, who spent the two days before
Hugo wrapping microcomputers, terminals, and printers in heavy
plastic bags.
This preparation paid off, as drenched ceilings
buried computer equipment in scores of faculty and staff offices,
especially in Bond Hall.
Even so, recovering from Hugo consumed most of Hardware
Support Service's energies throughout the fall and well into the
new year.
Faculty and staff computers and VAX connections had to
be moved to temporary locations while damaged offices were recon structed .
A new VAX terminal lab was set up in Capers Hall to
accommodate students who were displaced when administrative staff
moved into two labs in Bond Hall.
Finally, as offices were
repaired, everything had to be moved back and reconnected!

Software Support Services
The main mission of Software Support Services is to help
students, faculty, and staff learn how to use computers more
effectively and efficiently--primarily by publishing a series of
easy-to-use software user's guides and by teaching 20 to 30 IBM,
Macintosh, and VAX courses a semester.
During the past year, however, Software Support Services staff
completed three other projects that also furthered this goal. The
first was to use DOS 4. 0 to develop a standard menu and file
structure system for IBM personal computers.
This system has now
been installed campuswide and is helping users activate software
programs, connect to the VAX network, and retrieve data files more
quickly.
In March, Software Support Services also implemented a new VAX
software
package
called
HOTLINE.
This
on-line
service
request/inquiry system enables users to describe a problem or
explain what they need on a simple screen, and then their request

47

�is automatically routed to the person who is primarily responsible
for providing or coordinating this service. At present about 250
service requests are being received each month by IRM and Procurement Services, and this number should rise significantly as
other service-providing departments start using HOTLINE.
Finally in June Software Support Services published the first
issue of a monthly newsletter called Citadel Computing News. The
purpose of this newsletter is simply to provide useful, timely
information to Citadel VAX, IBM, and Macintosh users. So far, both
HOTLINE and Citadel Computing News have been well received.
Administrative Information Systems
Despite the interruptions and dislocations caused by Hurricane Hugo, college administrative departments continued to implement Series Z, a comprehensive, interactive, integrated administrative software system developed by Information Associates of Rochester, New York.
During the fall the alumni module was implemented, and in the spring both the financial aid and purchasing
modules were implemented. Work continues on the personnel, fixed
assets, degree auditing, and executive information systems.
As Series Z systems are implemented, administrative departments become responsible for directly entering their data into the
college's central computers. But these departments also need to be
able quickly and easily to produce lists, labels, reports, and
analyses based on this data.
Thus last summer The Citadel purchased a software package called FOCUS, which enables people who
are not computer programmers to retrieve the information they need
from Series Z. Staff throughout the college have done an excellent
job of learning and using FOCUS, and this is one reason several
colleges have visited The Citadel during the past year to observe
and discuss Series Z operations.

Daniel Library

A number of library programs and initiatives this year
increased access to and use of library resources and online
information databases as follows:
(1)
The DRA circulation module became fully operational by the beginning of the fiscal year.
Library staff know
instantly the status of any book and may renew, reserve, or change
the status of any item. Notices, fine calculations, and statistical reports are now generated automatically. This has reduced
backlogs of books waiting for discharging and shelving, thereby
increasing availability of books to students.
(2) The DRA acquisition module was coupled with the FRS
procurement system by the end of the fiscal year. Books and other
48

�library materials are now ordered through the system and patrons
know instantly books that are on order.
(3) The automated system has increased both library use
and borrowing over last year and should continue to do so because
students and faculty may conveniently learn the availability and
complete bibliographic information of any book or videotape ordered
or cataloged by the library from any of hundreds of VAX terminals
on campus. Total borrowing outside of the library also increased
slightly f r om 37,636 to 39,550 but in-house use has tripled in some
counts and by all observable measures.
(4)
Plans to network with the automated systems of
the College of Charleston, Trident Technical College, and the
Charleston County Public Library which also use the DRA system and
the Medical University, which does not, were initiated by the
consortium library directors. Electronic transmission of requests,
telefacsimi le transmission of articles and daily courier service
now make library material available within minutes for urgent
requests of reference material to hours normally for student and
faculty requests . These services have resulted in a doubling of
consortium transactions for periodical articles and books from
roughly 1110 to 2220 during the fiscal year.
(5) Two high-use databases on CD-ROM or Compact Disk-Read Only Memory (Books In Print and ERIC) were acquired for test
searching by librarians. Use was so successful that these databases
should be transferred from a library workstation to the VAX network
for access to dictionaries, encyclopedias, directories, and indexes
by students and faculty from VAX terminals in the next fiscal year.
(6)
The library's new collection of 325 videotapes,
acquired and cataloged this year for the first time, proved to be
the most popular type of material with students and faculty.
Two
TV/VCR units were donated by Films Incorporated and one acquired
for viewing videotapes.
(7) The library has responded to the need for library
skills instruction by developing a self -paced, library workbook with
exercises.
All freshmen cadets, beginning in Fall 1989 thereby
learn about library services and how to use the online catalog,
indexes, abstracts, and specialized reference tools. This program
is expected to further increase library use.
The library added 4, 350 books (titles), 11,264 government
documents, 31,660 micromedia pieces, 325 video tapes, and 152
periodical subscriptions to bring the total titles to the following totals:
203,171

�The library faculty continued working with four departments in using
the conspectus methodology to identify gaps in the collections that
correspond to curriculum needs. This method more closely identifies
books that should be used by students in their research.
The library faculty were active in scholarly and professional
activities.
LTC Wood remained chair of the library consortium
through December and was elected President of the South Carolina
Data Research Users Group which he founded in 1989 and read a paper
entitled "The Conspectus as a Collection Development Tool for
College Libraries and Consortia," on May 16, 1990 at the First
National Conference on Acquisitions, Budgets, and Collections in
St. Louis. LTC Edmund Maynard received a CDF Faculty Achievement
award for his activities including service on CATPA, publishing "A
case study of faculty attitudes toward library instruction" in
Reference Services Review, doctoral level graduate study at Nova
University, expert system research, implementation of the ATLAS
automated circulation module, and assumption of acting library
director and other library responsibilities throughout the year.
Major Sherman Pyatt's book, Apartheid. 1979-1988, was published by
Garland Press.
All librarians contributed to a wide range of
important library college, state, consortium or other professional
committees and performed scholarly activities too numerous to list
here. There was no change in library faculty complement from last
year except that Elizabeth Carter's status changed from adjunct
faculty to a classified librarian status with rank of Lieutenant
beginning 1 July 1990.
Library Science 570, Library Automation, was taught by LTC
Wood during the Fall semester. LSCI 580, Graphic and Photographic
Design and Production was taught by Ms. Jo Smith during the First
Summer Session.

Archives-Museum

The Archives-Museum collects, preserves, interprets and
displays historic material pertaining to The Citadel. The Archives
maintains the manuscript and photographic collections and the Museum
manages the artifacts.
The Museum was closed for extensive reorganization during this
fiscal year . Non-Citadel exhibits/artifacts were deaccessioned, and
new exhibits were designed to chronicle the history of the Citadel
as an institution. These projects are the result of a decision made
in 1989 by General Grimsley and the Board of Visitors to have the
Museum and its collections represent only the college's history .
The displays in the Museum are arranged chronologically in
seven divisions.
Within each division, the academic, military,
social and athletic aspects of cadet life are featured.
In
addition, the presidents, special events, and changes in the cadet
uniform are exhibited. The divisions are:
50

�1842-1861
1861-1865
1865-1882
1882-1908
1908-1931
1931-1953
1953-Present

Early Years
Civil War
Union Occupation
Re-Opening
Bond Era
Summerall Era
Modern Era

Approximately thirty researchers visited the Archives during
the year. The papers of General Summerall, Mark Clark and Ellison
Capers were used extensively.
In addition, numerous oral and
written requests were received on topics ranging from the Rapido
River conflict of World War II to the architecture of the Old
Citadel on Marion Square .
Ms. Jane Yates, Archivist and Museum Director, was acknowledged for her assistance in Cadets in Gray by Gary Baker (Columbia,
S.C.: Palmetto Bookworks, 1989) and also in "Palmetto Soldiers : An
Album of South Carolina Confederate Soldiers", Military Images MayJune 1990 by John Bigham.
Donations to the Archives-Museum included Citadel memorabilia and Citadel uniforms.

Greater Issues and John C. West Lecture

Owing to campus damage and disruption caused by Hugo, there
was no fall Greater Issues Address. In the spring of 1990, General
Alfred M. Gray, Commandant, USMC, addressed the corps of cadets
concerning defense issues of the 1990's vis-a-vis the Marine Corps.
General Andrew J. Goodpaster, U.A. Army (Ret.), member of the
Advisory Committee to the Board of Visitors and former Citadel
faculty member, gave the John C. West lecture on the topic of what
the recent developments in Europe mean for the United States.

Writing Center

The Writing Center continues to serve the college community
with a variety of services.
Almost 9,000 visits were recorded.
This has been the most productive year to date in meeting the needs
of those wi th writing deficiencies. Also, thanks to a generous CDF
grant, a much-needed Reading/Study Skills pilot program was
initiated.
USERS:
Freshmen remain the primary users: 4,029, visits
this term which includes 53% of the class receiving individualized
tutoring.
Sophomores, seniors, and graduate students comprise the
largest number of users after freshmen.
Faculty/staff use swelled
to 395 indicating an increased interest in writing across the
curriculum.
The Center helped with the Burke Project and other
community endeavors.
SERVICES:
Writing instruction increased by 1600 hours.
Writing workshops also increased from 17 to 35 because of the high
demand. Word processing use continues to decrease as IRM labs meet
students' needs, but with 22 workshops The Center met most word
processing instructional needs. Resume assistance remains popular
with seniors and graduate students. The Writing HOTLINE stays busy,
between 250 and 300 calls per year.
Reading and Study Skills
tutorials and workshops have been added for additional academic
support services. The Pilot Project offered 154 hours of instruction, serving 102 students.
Initial testing indicate that more
students at The Citadel suffer academic difficulties from lack of
effective study skills than from lack of basic reading skills.
Long-range plans continue to be the same: to upgrade the
quality of writing on campus and in the community. We also expect
to expand the new Reading/Study Skills program.
SPECIAL ACTIVITIES:
The Center began publication of a
newsletter, The Write Track, and during the year The Citadel and
the College of Charleston co-sponsored the first meeting of S.C.
Writing Centers The director attended several conferences and served
52

�as a consultant to a number of academic institutions regarding their
writing centers.

Honors Program

At the beginning of lts third year of operation, the Honors
Program had 19 freshmen, 13 sophomores, and 9 juniors in the
program- -a total of 41.
Sixty-five percent came from South
Carolina, with the rest arriving from all parts of the country,
including Georgia, Michigan, Florida, Arizona, and New Jersey.
These students were majoring in a variety of fields: Electrical
Engineering, History, English, Mathematics, Biology, Business
Administration, Modern Languages, Physics, and Political Science.
Three students withdrew from the college for personal reasons
at the beginning of the first semester, one student transferred to
the Air Force Academy, one withdrew for medical reasons after the
first semester, one withdrew from the program, and six were
separated from the program for academic reasons. Six students were
added to the program during the year.
Based on their academic
performance at the end of the second semester, one student was
separated from the program because of grades, leaving a total of
thirty-four students in the program.
Eighteen incoming freshmen
have been admitted for the fall, so that at the beginning of SY
1990-91 the Honors Program will have about 52 students.
The academic performance of Honors Program students in 198990 has been outstanding.
At the end of the year, the cumulative
GPA for Honors students was 3.322; the average in Honors Program
courses was 3.343, a difference of .02.
Also, the Honors Program
sent three students to academic conferences to deliver papers
developed from work one in Professor Moreland's Honors Social
Science course.
In March, a group of Honors students gave a
presentation at the Southern Regional Honors Conference, March 2931.
One Honors student was selected to attend the competitive
Arizona Honors Academy over the summer, one was chosen to participate in the Leadership America program, and another was awarded a
scholarship through the English Speaking Union to study at Cambridge University over the summer.
The achievement of Honors Program students within the rank
structure of the Corps of Cadets continues to be good.
Seventeen
Honors students have been selected to hold cadet rank next year:
Regimental Commander, Regimental Supply Sergeant, Second Battalion
Commander, Third Battalion Executive Officer, Band Company Pipe
Major, 1 First Sergeant, 3 Platoon Sergeant, 1 Company Academic
Officer, 4 Company Clerks, and 3 Company Platoon Corporals.
Recruitment for next year's Honors Program has been completed.
Eighteen incoming freshmen have been accepted into the
program for AY 1990-91, with an average SAT score of 1260, an
average class rank in the top 7%, and an average score on the Test
of Standard Written English of 56 out of a possible 57.

ADMINISTRATION

General

Hurricane Hugo's attack on 22 September predominated the
campus this school year.
Bond Hall and Barracks 2 and 4 suffered
the greatest amount of damage, with major roof damage and
accompanying water damage. Roofs on faculty quarters and Summerall
Chapel sustained substantial damage.
Our electrical distribution
system, beach house, stadium, boating center facilities, trees and
pavements were also heavily damaged.
An operations center was
established for the recovery operation, and in cooperation with the
National Guard and other volunteers, the campus was ready for the
return of cadets on 4 October.
The initial estimates for damages
were in the $20 million range, however, estimates now have been
established at $6,637,018.
Of that amount, our insurance has
settled for $4,214,187, and the remainder less $173,305 is our FEMA
claim of $2,249,526.

Accomplishments

The Citadel Bulldog Baseball Team, after winning the Southern
Conference Championship in Charleston, South Carolina and the
Atlantic Regionals in Miami, Florida, went all the way to the NCAA
College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska in June l990.
There they
were defeated by Louisiana State University, 8-2, in their first
game in the Series. They carne back with an 8-7 win over California
State-Fullerton; however, they were eliminated in their second game
with L.S.U.
Their season ended with a 46-14 record, and the
Bulldogs were ranked sixth in the nation in the final Collegiate
Baseball/ESPN Poll.
The Bulldog Rifle Team finished the season ranked 12th in the
country.
They won the NRA/NCAA Sectional March held at VMI,
defeating 11 teams, and finished fourth out of 16 teams at the Mardi
Gras Invitational.
The $270,000 Perry Earle Tennis Facility was completed.
The $1.9 million Central Energy Facility is
complete.

substantially

The exterior waterproofing of the Daniel Library and Summerall
Chapel has been completed.
Although a setback occurred due to Hurricane Hugo, substantial
completion of the McAlister Field House has been accomplished with
only minor work remaining.
The facility is being utilized and a
number of activities have taken place in it this year to include:
basketball games, the inauguration ceremony of our new president,
the commencement ceremony, and professional wrestling matches.
The $4.7 million Alumni Hall Replacement Project contract was
awarded. Work is progressing sat~sfactorily on the new Electrical
54

�Engineering and Physics building, with completion anticipated in
April 1991.
Bids for the new Coward Hall were opened with the low bid of
$4,799,500. This low bid will provide The Citadel with a complete
facility to include band rooms on the second floor.
Construction
started in June 1990, with completion date set for October 1991.
The Vandiver Hall Project design is complete, with anticipated
construction bid this summer.
The Roadway Extension Project design has been completed and
the Highway Department will be supervising construction and provide
funding under its aegis.
The Bond Hall Renovation Project is well under design with
anticipated advertisement for bid and construction to begin in the
spring of 1991.
The Asbestos Abatement Project for Mark
completed in July 1990 at a cost of $478,000.

was

The Barracks Room Renovation Project (Face Lift) was bid on
29 May 1990 with a low bid of $589,300 for Barracks 4 and an
alternate of $499,000 for renovation of Barracks 3.
The Board of
Visitors determined that the base bid would be approved with the
proviso that the administration seek means of reducing the cost of
the project.
As a part of the project, but divorced from the
construction,
is the repair and repainting of the barracks
furniture.
This is underway and is being accomplished by Prison
Industries. Only Barracks 4 will be completed this summer, however,
repair and repainting of the furniture in Barracks 3 will continue
throughout the school year utilizing a float of barracks furniture.
Revenues in the Cadet Store and Canteen Activities have
continued to increase this past year. Canteen Department revenues
exceeded $1,500,000, and revenue collections for the Cadet Store
totaled $2,178,000. This was accomplished in the Cadet Store even
with a smaller freshman class, and it was the best the Canteen has
ever done despite two major football weekends being moved to
Columbia, SC because of Hurricane Hugo damages to our stadium.

Physical Plant
1.

Organization and Training
a.

Personnel

1)
The Physical Plant was reorganized to
provide zone maintenance personnel to individual buildings on the
campus.
The zone maintenance personnel oversee the repair,
maintenance and custodial work required in the buildings of their
assignment.
They are capable of doing the day-to day repair and
maintenance work, but have to rely on Physical Plant as a whole for

55

�more complicated work.
Zone maintenance has elevated the building
appearance and condition, and comments from building occupants where
zone maintenance is underway have been favorable.
Plans call for
bringing zon e maintenance to all campus buildings next school year.
2)
The Physical Plant accounting technician
retired and was replaced from within the organization. A new work
order clerk was hired.
The Director of Physical Plant and two
Trades Supervisors submitted their resignations.
These positions
have been a dve rtised and will be filled.
b.

Training

Key personnel were trained to use the "on-line"
FRS purchasing system introduced this year by Procurement Services.
Plant staff members attended workshops and formal courses relating
to Asbestos Inspection, Hazardous Material Storage and Handling,
Automotive Repair and Indoor Air Quality Control.
Staff members
were licensed as Asbestos Program Managers and Abatement Workers.
Follow-up physicals were administered to workers who had been
certified for small asbestos projects in previous years.
c.

Plant Equipment
The

following vehicles were

purchased for

the

plant fleet:
1 new sedan
9 new trucks for shop use
6 new gas-operated carry-alls
Also, four new vans and three sedans were procured
from the State Department of Motor Vehicle Management as lease
vehicles to support campus requirements.

removal of plaster ceilings and installation of suspended grid
systems, light fixture replacement, painting, and installation of
ten each fan coil units to replace old style radiators. These units
were installed to prompt responses to the Physical Plant concerning
their suitability as permanent replacements for existing heating
units.
(Cadet responses were favorable-- "They don't get as hot",
"quiet", "look better", "The little fan makes it heat the room
better.")
Following the hurricane, Physical Plant forces were
dedicated to restoring barracks to liveable conditions as quickly
as possible. Barracks 4 sustained the most damage and major efforts
were applied to this area.
24 rooms in Barracks 2 were completely

Athletic Affairs

What a year! 1989-90 proved to be one of peaks and valleys happiness and heartache, including the effects of Hurricane Hugo
and the World Series express. A historic football first - playing
two home games in Williams Brice Stadium in Columbia, a second
straight win over Navy, and finally, the toll that Hugo took on our
season.
Basketball had a competitive season with heartbreaking losses,
but the newly renovated McAlister Field House was showcased to
Clemson and South Carolina fans, as well as all Southern Conference
schools.
Soccer had a successful season despite the hurricane's
interruption, and wrestling was highlighted by John Jones winning
the Southern Conference championship and advancing to the NCAA
championship.
Tennis did not win quite as much as the previous year, but the
schedule was upgraded and without question was the toughest in the
history of the school.
Once again, track managed to break more school records and the
golf team had a much-improved season.
The big story was a Cinderella year in baseball that was
detailed throughout the nation by our great performances in the NC&amp;\
Regionals in Miami and the World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.
In retrospect, it was a great year, with ninety-one scholarathletes on the athletic director's honor roll - solid graduation
rates and the earned respect from other schools around the nation.
We are definitely proud of The Citadel's athletic program in 198990.

FOOTBALL -- Despite playing six straight games on the road, the
Bulldogs finished 5-5-1 overall and 1-5-1 in the conference.
The
Dogs bolted out to a 4-0 start and their best start since 1928
before the reality of Hurricane Hugo and seven weeks on the road set
in.
The Bulldogs achieved their highest ranking ever - Number 7 and defeated 1-A Navy for the second straight year.
The Citadel
also defeated S.C. State in Columbia in the first-ever meeting
between the two schools.
Split end Phillip Florence and offensive
tackle Rick Brodsky were named first team All-Southern Conference .
The Bulldogs led the league in rushing for the third straight season
and placed fifth nationally.
The Citadel led the conference in
average attendance and finished 8th nationally.
BASKETBALL -- The Citadel fifth-year head coach Randy Nesbit guided
the Bulldogs to a 12-16 overall record and sixth-place showing in
the Southern Conference . Picked to finish seventh by the pre-season
prognosticators, the Dogs finished one notch higher than predicted.
Patrick Elmore was named a first team All-Southern Conference
performer and finished as a runner-up for Player of the Year in the
league. He finished seventh on the all-time scoring charts at The
Citadel and was named Player of the Week in the Southern Conferenc e
twice this past season. Freshman guard Aaron Nichols was the first
Bulldog since 1985-86 to be named to the league's all-freshme n t e~rn.
The Bulldogs swept Furman for the first time since the 1984-85
season and defeated the Paladins in Greenville for the second
straight year for the first time since 1967-68.

Personnel Services:

During Fiscal Year 1989-90, the Personnel Department continued
to provide full service to Citadel faculty and staff in all aspects
of personnel administration and management.
Although one new
position was added to the Personnel Department Staff, the individual
selected for the position was subsequently selected for another
position on campus and was transferred and promoted accordingly.
The department is still understaffed and housed in an inadequate
facility when considering the new programs and functions which
continued to be assigned to the department.
Following are
significant accomplishments during the year:
1.

Central Computer Services:

The Personnel Office continued to perfect the human
resource series (HRS) of the college computer. ,A Human Resource
Series
Policies and Procedures Manual has been developed and is
used to facilitate personnel services. The manual is a key tool for
the personnel staff as it outlines step-by-step actions to take when
effecting personnel requirements.
Since the HRS series is not yet
operating at full capacity, the goal for FY 1990-91 is to bring on
line such functions as applicant tracking, benefit reports to
faculty and staff, and personnel reporting requirements such as
affirmative action reports.

Public Safety
1.

Thefts:

The Department of Public Safety continued additional
efforts in the investigation of on-campus crime during the past
year, with particular emphasis in theft within the barracks.
Officer
Gary
Ludwigson,
our
academy-certified
investigator,
personally followed up on every theft reported in the barracks. The
continued effectiveness of our program is reflected in the barracks
theft statistics. A total of 40 thefts in the barracks was reported
and investigated during the past school year.
This represents a
decrease of 29.8% from the number of thefts (57) reported during SY
88-89. Since initiating this program two years ago, barracks thefts
have decreased by a phenomenal 44.4%.
A total of $4,447.00 was reported stolen.
$1,384 of
this amount was in cash.
The remainder consisted of clothing,
jewelry, equipment, and similar items.
31 of the thefts involved
items or money left unsecured in the room when it was taken.
The
barracks thefts were concentrated in the 1st and 3rd battalions: 1st
Battalion, 12 thefts; 2nd Battalion, 6 thefts; 3rd Battalion, 17
thefts; and 4th Battalion 5 thefts.
Bicycle thefts continued at last year's all time low
rate.
We lost only one bicycle (a faculty bicycle which was
unregistered and unsecured).
This compares with only one stolen
last year and 6 stolen in 1987-88.
A total of 23 vehicles were entered by thieves during
the year. The vehicles were rarely locked at the time of the theft.
Items totaling $7,641.00 were reported taken.
Most of the items
taken were articles of civilian clothing. The area in the vicinity
of Summerall gate was the hardest hit with 17 of the thefts reported
at that location.
The fence was down in this area following
Hurricane Hugo and it was several weeks after the cadets returned
before it was completely repaired.
Many of the thefts occurred
during this period.
75

�There were no thefts involving breaking and entering
reported from the buildings on campus; however, weights worth $250
were reported missing from Deas Hall due to a door which could not
be secured by the staff.
2.

Vehicle Registration and Parking:

A total of 2,760 vehicles were registered to park on
campus consisting of 1,150 cadet vehicles, 607 faculty and staff
vehicles and 1,003 vehicles belonging to Day and Evening students.
There were 1,199 parking citations issued.
This is a decrease of
206 from the previous year.
Of these 1,199 citations, 131 were
voided upon appeal. The major difference between this year and last
was the dramatic decrease in cadet violations. Only 410 citations
were issued to cadets as contrasted to 839 last year. This is the
first year that more parking citations were issued to persons other
than cadets than to cadets.
The most comprellensive parking study in the past 10
years was prepared by the Department of Public Safety.
Major
changes in cadet and faculty parking resulted from this study.
Graduation parking for the ceremony held in McAlister
Field House was the smoothest and most efficient in the past 15
years.
3.

Building Inspections:

The Department of Public Safety conducted over 13,200
building inspections during the past year.
4.

Lost and Found:

The owners of 33 of the 86 items turned in to Lost and
Found were identified and their lost property returned to them.
5.

Training:

The intensive training program within the department has
continued during this past year. All officers are ahead of schedule
in the in-service training now mandated by South Carolina Law for
continued certification.
Sergeant Bowers became only the second
woman certified as a S.C. Criminal Justice Academy Firearms
Instructor.
She has successfully trained and certified all of the
department's officers.
Sergeant Bowers also completed the Field
Training Officer instruction course during the past year. Officer
Jack Ferrell has been designated as the department Field Training
Officer and has completed the basic one-week instructor course at
the academy.
He and Officer James Gibson are now preparing an
extensive field training curriculum to standardize on-job training
of all Public Safety Officers. It is anticipated that this will be
completed during the Fall semester. Four of our officers completed
the basic 8-week law enforcement officer course at the South

�Carolina Criminal Justice Academy during the past year.
officer is scheduled to attend this summer.

One more

Uniforms:

Foul weather gear was purchased for all officers
following Hurricane Hugo when the inadequacy of two sets of "standby" rain gear became apparent.
7.

Miscellaneous Services:

Public Safety officers gave over 100 jump starts to
individuals with dead batteries during the year.
Most of these
involved cadet vehicles.
In addition, over 63 cars were unlocked
for individuals who had inadvertently locked their keys inside.
Over 2, 000 ID cards were made for cadets, faculty,
staff, contractors, and dependent children of faculty and staff
personnel.
Officer Ludwigson set up and manned a booth on safe
driving and personal security at the Wellness Day on campus.
Sergeant Bowers was requested by name to give a
presentation at the Southeast Regional Meeting of the International
Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators on her
experiences as the ranking law enforcement officer on campus during
Hurricane Hugo.
Her presentation also covered the damage of the
storm to the campus and the evacuation of the student body.
She
used slides, videos, and posters to illustrate her talk.
Her
performance received excellent ratings from the campus law
enforcement chiefs at the meeting.

Auxiliary Activities
1.

Cadet Store

School Year 1989-90 was another very successful year for
the Cadet Store. Revenue has continued to increase as it has each
year for the last 20 years, including the years of low enrollment
and small freshman classes. Revenue collections for SY 1989-90 as
of 25 May 1990 amounted to $2,178,000 . The enhancement equipment
and Model 70 IBM computer has increased the efficiency of the Cadet
Store operation.
The Cadet Store continues to sell IBM and Apple
computers through an educational discount program, and is now in the
process of working out an agreement with some software companies to
develop a program to special order software for students and
faculty/staff at discount prices.
Effective 1 April 1990, the Cadet Store successfully
tied in to The Citadel mainframe purchasing module, thereby
providing the store the capability of creating their own purchase
77

�orders for resale items.
2.

Dining Services

ARA Services continues to provide excellent service for
the Corps of Cadets and the Administration. Family-style meals are
served to approximately 2,000 cadets during the school year and to
approximately 1,350 campers attending Palmetto Boys State and Summer
Additionally, cafeteria-style
Camp for Boys during the summer.
meals are served in the summer to summer school students and
children enrolled in Citadel athletic camps. Food Service is also
provided for approximately 700 catered functions during the year,
such as pre-game buffets at the President's House, receptions, class
reunions, alumni activities and Board of Visitors activities, and
for approximately 500 student functions, such as cookouts, box
lunches, club dinners, and regimental functions.
The Dining Services have functioned exceptionally well
during regular and emergency situations this year. In the aftermath
of Hurricane Hugo at the start of the cleanup effort, Mr. Elton
Coleman, Director of Dining Services, and his staff gathered in the
mess hall and, after temporary power was restored, they provided
three meals a day for campus residents and employees working in the
restoration of the campus.
In addition, they provided facilities
for the National Guard for meals and provided meals for contractor
personnel working on campus and for elements of Army and Marine
Corps units.
3.

Infirmary

The Infirmary had a very good year. The Department of
Health and Environmental Control conducted its annual inspection of
the Infirmary and no medical violations were found, however, the
Infirmary was given one year to repair a rear storage room that was
damaged by Hurricane Hugo.
Fire inspections and drug inspections
by DHEC in the Infirmary were satisfactory.
The Corps of Cadets
had fewer significant illnesses in School Year 1989-90 than in
previous years as indicated in the report that follows.
The flu
vaccine was offered, but had very little response.

Laundry and Dry Cleaning

The Citadel Laundry processed 620,247 pounds of laundry
this school year at an average cost of $1.09 per pound.
58,408
bundles were processed at an average cost of $11.60 per bundle.
60,576 pounds of dry cleaning were processed (549 pounds more than
last school year).
5,878 uniform items were dry cleaned, 159 more
than in School Year 1988-89.
Laundry and Dry Cleaning operations began cleaning
articles of clothing from 4th Battalion and F Company on 27
September 1989, when electrical power became available after
Hurricane Hugo. 97 percent of the clothing received was saved from
having claims. Laundry was also processed for the U.S. Army, Marine
Corps and the National Guard during this period. No other laundries
in the area were operational.
The bid for automatic pant presses was awarded to
Texchine Inc. of Chapin, SC for a total costs of $86,356.20.
Delivery of the four units is scheduled for the week of 30 July.
The new rotary screw air compressor, purchased from Edmac Compressor
Co. of Columbia, SC for a total cost of $10, 706. 85, has been
received and is in the process of being installed.
Employees attended computer courses
Citadel on various programs utilized on campus.

offered by

The

Tailor Shop

The Tailor Shop enjoyed a successful school year as a
service auxiliary to the College along with a good overall
efficiency and operating in the black.
Revenue was down somewhat
due to a smaller freshman class.
543 incoming freshmen were measured, fitted and altered
finishing in early March.
Due to Hurricane Hugo, Parents Day was
delayed for quite some time, which backed up deliveries to freshmen.
79

�The Department sustained minimal damage from Hugo, with no damage
to uniforms, equipment and other items housed inside. All uniforms
that were damaged by Hugo were brought in from the barracks after
the storm, processed, and made ready for the return of the Corps.
The annual inventory audit was held 29 June, revealing
$67,702.05 in live stock which will be incorporated into fittings
for the Class of 1994. Stock levels are high due to carrying more
advanced stock in some areas to support early needs of the Corps and
the critical deadline for Parents Day.
The Navy ROTC contract was completed in late April with
44 contract students participating.
The Blazer Ensemble program
dropped off drastically from last year with only 114 cadets
participating.
Another measuring period for Blazer Ensembles is
scheduled in September. Contracts have been firmed with Thorngate
Uniforms for the Class of 94 and Kuppenheirner Men's Clothiers for
Blazer Ensembles for the Class of 1992.
Tarriff sizes have been
ordered for advance stock and is corning in daily.
The summer work program and storage is near completion
with 7, 243 pieces of uniforms being processed, which includes
repair, class striping and rank chevron installation. Uniforms are
also dry-cleaned, mothproofed and pressed and made ready for the
return of the Corps in August.
The summer work program will
generate approximately $26,000 in revenue for the Tailor Shop.
The Master Craftsman and Seamster Supervisor attended
the Supervisory Development Seminar in May.
Managed attended
classes and are fully operational on the new procurement module
within the FRS system.
The director, Mr. Murray, made a visit to
the Uniform Manufacturing facilities in Norristown, PA, in May for
an on-hands look at the people who have been producing the cadet
uniforms for over 30 years.
6.

Print Shop

The Print Shop this year has completed the installation
of the new typesetting system. With the addition of the Varityper
Laser typesetter, we now have a modern, efficient, speedy method of
preparing all printing. The two color press added last year and the
automated binding system installed three years ago has been
performing to our highest expectations. This equipment has allowed
the Print Shop to do jobs that were in the past sent to other shops.
Production has been increased approximately $50,000 over
last year, with most of the increase being done the last half of the
year.
More of this type of work will be brought in during FY1990-

The camp purchased a wide-screen, video projector to
help reduce costs for video rentals.
A new activity, Fitness and
Garnes, replaced Bowling as a result of the renovations to Mark Clark
Hall.
First Session campers and counselors also attended the Bob
Hope Save the Yorktown Benefit in McAlister Field House on 3 July
1990.
5.
The camp employed 49 cadets, alumni, and junior
counselors for the summer.
Utilizing the barracks and other
facilities that would otherwise be dormant over the summer, the camp
also continues to support the college by financially assisting: the
Canteen and Gift Shop, the Cadet Store, the Boating Center, the
Health and Physical Education Department, campus dining facilities,
laundry services, the Infirmary, and Physical Plant through
contributions, utilization fees, equipment purchases, etc. The camp
also contributed $3,000 to the President's Discretionary Fund at the
end of the 1989 camp.
L.

Canteen Activities.

The Canteen Activities Department has had a successful sales
year.
Department revenues exceeded $1,500,000.00 as of May 1990.
These receipts are the best the department has ever accomplished.
This years success was the result of employee dedication and the
support of all the Citadel Family, including the Charleston
community.
Hurricane Hugo was a setback that The Citadel overcame,
including this department.
Whenever our two horne football games
were moved to Columbia, SC, our staff packed up merchandise and
moved to the USC Stadium to sell during the games.
The Corps have continued to utilize the convenience of our QM
Charge System; this school year cadets charged $421,680.00 (figure
81

�does include haircuts charged in the Barber Shop).
This Fiscal Year administrative costs and rent were charged
to the department. This was an expense not before charged and now
makes this department totally self supporting. The $71,463.00 was
a significant change factor for the department's profits.
Our
expenditures this year also included:
1)

$8,500.00 for equipment improvements
$8,000.00 to support the Faculty House
$225,000.00 to support Student Activities and Athletic

Intramural Sports

The Intramural Sports Program enjoyed another year of full
participation in all phases.
LTC Eugene Lesesne and Graduate
Assistant Harm Larnaker led the Corps to continued prominence in the
National Honorary Athletic Fraternity, Sigma Delta Psi.
Five new
members and one repeat member qualified for the Corps Epsilon Beta
Chapter in 1989-90.
This led the nation in new members.
Arthur
John Lontoc won the award for Outstanding Intramural Athletic
Officer and Jonathan Taggart Daniels was selected as the Outstanding
Intramural Athletic Sergeant.
Darrell John Creedon won the award
for the Outstanding Intramural Athlete of 1989-90.
Cadet William
May was awarded the Most Outstanding Intramural Referee Award; this
was a new award designed to improve intramural referees.
Cadet L.
C. Younce was selected to be the Regimental Athletic Officer for the
1990-91 school year.
H Company won the Regimental Intramural
Championship and the accompanying Board of Visitors' trophy and
plaque.
Bowling was not featured as an Intramural Sport for the
Corps this year, as the Bowling Lanes were permanently closed. Two
new sports were added to replace bowling:
Horseshoes on pits
constructed by the Intramural Department and Billiards in Mark Clark
Hall.
The Citadel Sports Clubs were successful in presenting
opportunities for cadet participation and in representing the
college in 17 intercollegiate activities. The Lacrosse Club won 10
of their 14 games scheduled. The Pistol Club again brought national
recognition to The Citadel with a National Championship in the ROTC
Division and third in the overall Open Championships.
Pistol
qualified five shooters for the Olympic Training Camp. Rugby, under
the coaching of LTC Porch and David Lane, had a good year, winning
against USC but losing a close game to Clemson for the State
Championship.
The Sailing Club continues to improve.
They were
victorious over the College of Charleston and ended the season in
second place overall in their conference.
This high finish will
qualify them for several national races during the corning school
year.
The Civil Air Patrol Club was not able to attend the state
competition this year due to Hugo.
The Crew Club participated in
a Regatta in Augusta that included teams from Europe and England.
The Martial Arts Clubs continue to grow in number.
Boxing was not

included a win over VMI for the Silver Saber. This was the Club's
first win over VMI.
The SCUBA Club was reinstated under the
leadership of LTC Speicher this year and qualified 35 members as
open water divers. The Lacrosse Club continues to be successful in
their competition with a winning record again this year.

�FINANCIAL MATTERS

A.

General

Without question, the most significant event of Fiscal Year
1989-90 was Hurricane Hugo.
Hugo not only inundated our offices
with water and cut off all power to our computer system, but it
caused a maj or drain on our cash account in order to accomplish the
approximately $2 million worth of emergency repairs required to
restore the college to full operational status. The college staff
received excellent support from the staff and insurance adjustors
working for the Budget &amp; Control Board's Division of Insurance
Services. We have received the first two distributions of payments
from our insurance claims and are still working closely with the
Division of Insurance Services staff and the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) staff to close out all pending claims and
receive reimbursement for Hugh-related expenses.
Fiscal Year 1989-90 saw a slight retreat in the level of state
funding for the higher education formula. After increasing to 93%
funding in 1988-89, the General Assembly was only able to provide
about 92 . 68% funding for 1989-90.
This forced the college to
provide no funding for equipment replacement or purchases with the
exception of computers, physical plant equipment, and boating center
equipment. The following table reflects state appropriations levels
for higher education over the past four years and shows approved
base funding for the upcoming fiscal year:

The Citadel's audit for fiscal year 1988-89 was performed by
84

�Rogers, Montgomery and Company, P.A., Certified Public Accountants
under contract to the State Auditor.
The report was again an
unqualified report.
The same audit firm also audited The Citadel
Athletic Department under guidelines established by the NCAA and
found no major deficiencies.
Fiscal Year 1989-90 saw The Citadel begin the training on 26
March 1990 to fully implement another software module of its
administrat i ve computer system.
The new Procurement System will
significantly modify the manner in which requisitions and purchase
orders are processed. The new system relies entirely on electronic
input by departments/activities to generate a final hard copy
purchase order for issue to the vendor.
Departments/activities
became fully operational on the new system as they completed their
scheduled training sessions with all elements of the college
scheduled to "go live" by 1 July 1990.
The college's property manager began processing the property
records for transfer to the Information Associates, Series Z, Fixed
Assets system. The Fixed Assets system is scheduled to be brought
on-line 1 July 1990.
All new capital items after 1 July will be
automatically brought into the Fixed Assets system.
The present
records, approximately 4,400, will be converted to the new system
during the first quarter of the next fiscal year.
The Treasurer's Office was deeply involved with refining the
procedures relating to the Student Information System. During the
course of the year, this component of the administrative computing
system permitted the Treasurer to accept complete control of
receivables.
He can now have up-to-date data concerning student
payments and is able to personally contact each student who has an
outstanding balance.
The Citadel purchased and implemented a fourth generation
computer language, FOCUS.
This enabled all areas of finance to
write their own computer generated report programs.
The finance
areas were able to retrieve information quickly and in the format
needed. Because of this, reporting and reconciliations can now be
accomplished much more efficiently than in the past.
The quarterly review system continues to be an integral part
of the fiscal resource management effort at the college.
The
extensive review of all areas of the college identified potential
shortfalls early in the year and enabled the administration to
respond appropriately.
Review actions to supplement operating
budgets are handled on a case-by-case basis and ensure that the
college operates within available fiscal resources. The college was
unable to fund other than the most essential equipment requirements
this year.
State funding levels simply did not allow the "luxury"
of programming replacement equipment as a matter of normal business.
The Budget and Control Board's Procurement Audit Staff
conducted an extensive audit of The Citadel's procurement system to
determine how well we complied with state procurement regulations.

85

�The audit was conducted for the period November 1986 to April 1990.
The college received a very favorable report of findings.
The
auditors support our request for an increase in our local
procurement authority to $30,000.
The Citadel's procurement staff continues to perform in an
exceptional manner within our current $10,000 local authority. The
staff processed and awarded 55 invitations for bid and one minor
construction bid without protest. In addition, 10 invitations for
bid which were exempt from the State Procurement Code were processed
and awarded without protest. The procurement office was one of the
first offices open on campus after Hurricane Hugo. The procurement
staff processed in excess of 200 procurements worth $2.0 million in
support of the hurricane clean-up effort.
The Citadel continues to benefit from its designation by the
Department of Defense as a Service Educational Activity.
This
designation permits the college to gain priority access to
Department of Defense surplus property. We have obtained property
valued at more than $42,000 this fiscal year to include paints,
lubricants, and other general maintenance supplies.
The Citadel has become a recognized leader in the Charleston
area in efforts to involve Minority Business Enterprises (MBE) in
Citadel procurement activities. Our purchases from minority firms
for the first three quarters of this fiscal year total $238,912
which has surpassed our goal of $124,489.
Our efforts this year
were assisted by the needs developed as a result of Hurricane Hugo.
The Citadel staff worked closely with the State Treasurer and
the college's bond attorneys to develop the documentation required
for the refinancing of $1,350,000 of Institution Bonds, the issue
of a new $500,000 Institution Bond, the issue of $3,200,000 of
Revenue Bonds, and $2,000,000 of Plant Improvement Bonds.
These
bonds will support the new Cadet Dining Facility project, a
previously completed Faculty Quarters project, a project to upgrade
the Capers Hall cooling system, and a project to relocate the
roadway near Indian Hill.
The Controller's staff worked with the State Treasurer to
establish a fund which would permit the monies earned by auxiliary
activities to draw interest to the credit of The Citadel, instead
of to the credit of the State Treasurer.
A similar account was
established for contributions made on behalf of Cadet Mazyck, a
football player suffering from cancer.
Hurricane Hugo devastated all finance office areas.
Staff
offices were moved to temporary locations for approximately six
weeks. A draft payroll for 30 September 1989 was computed the night
before the hurricane struck, but checks were not printed.
The
Controller's Office staff wrote all Citadel paychecks by hand and
payday was held on Friday, 29 September, as scheduled.
For the
first two days, writing the paychecks was accomplished without the
convenience of electricity, either for lighting or operating
86

�calculators. The Treasurer's Office made special arrangements to
cash paychecks for Physical Plant personnel who were too busy
working to go off campus to banks.
The State passed legislation permitting The Citadel to
establish a foundation and transfer the current endowment funds to
that foundation.
This action will eliminate one of the problems
that has been noted in the annual audit management letter for the
past several years, i.e., that the funds should be invested by the
State Treasurer instead of The Citadel.
The Treasurer's Office assumed the responsibility for the
billing of all receivables--student, customer, and general.
This
step has provided the Treasurer' complete control over all
receivables, their aging, and collection of overdue accounts.
The Citadel contracted with a collection agency for assistance

Financial Review of Operations for Fiscal Year 1989-90

Under the fund method of accounting for colleges and
universitie s, each fund group includes revenues, expenditures, and
fund balances and is established to record specific activities or
to attain particular objectives. Some of these funds are available
88

�for general operations while others are restricted by special
limitations or specific, designated applications.
It should be
noted that financial statements for colleges and universities differ
from those of commercial entities which typically present an
overall, consolidated, financial position. By contrast, college and
university financial statements are presented in terms of separate
fund groups and do not include a grand total of all operations.
The following statistical highlights, information, statements
and schedules are intended to provide a better understanding of (1)
the accounting policies and procedures used by The Citadel, (2) the
composition of various funds which comprise the college's financial
structure, and (3) the changes that have occurred in each of the
major fund groups during the past fiscal year.
Current Unrestricted Funds
represent
the
unrestricted
operating accounts of the college including not only those relating
to its educational and general activities but also those used to
record the transactions of the college's owned and operating
auxiliary enterprises (e.g., dining hall, infirmary, laundry and
dry cleaning, tailor shop, cadet store, print shop, barracks,
faculty and staff quarters, the independent operations of the cadet
canteen and the athletic department).
The assets of the Current
Unrestricted Fund generally include cash,
special deposits,
receivables, inventories, and prepaid expenses.
Its liabilities
generally consist of various payables, accrued liabilities, student
deposits and other liabilities such as unclaimed wages.
Current Restricted Funds represent gifts, grants, and contract
funds received by the college, subject to restrictions of the
grantors as to their expenditures in support of research, training
programs,
libraries,
instruction,
student
services,
scholarship/fellowships, and other sundry purposes.
Loan Funds principally represent funds which are limited by
the terms of their donors to the purpose of making loans to students
who might otherwise be unable to attend The Citadel.
These funds
covered here include The Citadel Development Foundation Loan Fund,
Perkins Loan Fund, and the Stackhouse Trust Loan Fund.
The Basic
Educational Opportunity and Secondary Educational Opportunity Grants
are covered under the Current Restricted Fund.
During the past
fiscal year, loans of $91,650 were made from the Stackhouse, CDF,
and the Perkins Loan Funds to 67 students.
At 30 June 1990,
outstanding student loans receivables aggregated $726,287.61. Our
Perkins default rate was 7.08 percent.
Endowment and Similar Funds represent gifts, bequests,
other funds received which fall into one of two categories:
(1)
Permanent Endowment
has stipulated, as a condition
to be maintained inviolate and
resulting from the investment
Quasi-endowment funds which are

or

Funds for which the original donor
of the gift, that the principal is
in perpetuity and only the income
of the fund may be expended; ( 2)
not restricted by donor limitations
89

�but which the Board of Visitors has determined are to be retained
and invested until such time as they may authorize the expenditure
of the principal of such funds.
In both cases, the income earned
on the investment of Endowment and Similar Funds is used in
accordance with the required terms of the donor's original gift for
specific purposes, such as student aid, scholarships, and awards.
Any increase or decrease in value is recognized upon disposition,
and no adjustment is made to carrying value prior to this time.
Plant Funds are divided into four groups:
Retirement of
Indebtedness, Investment in Plant, Unexpended, and Renewals and
Replacements. Retirement of Indebtedness funds are derived from the
registration and tuition fees collected from the student for the
specific purpose of debt service.
Investment in Plant represents
the aggregate of all land, buildings, and capital equipment
belonging to the college.
Also included is the construction in
progress of any building projects. Unexpended funds represent the
unspent portion of funds approved for Capital Improvement projects.
Renewals and Replacement Funds are reserves set aside to provide for
renewal and replacement of capital equipment and facilities.
The Retirement of Indebtedness Plant funds at year end
recorded receipts of $875,749 in fees and other revenue and $225,938
in interest income for a total receipt of $1,101,687. The expenses
recorded for bond retirement including interest transfers and
service charges totaled $209, 522.
The fund also contributed
$713,354.87 toward capital construction projects. The fund balance
at year end is $4,324,688.23 for a net increase of $1,865,759.23
over the 30 June 1989 fund balance. The current bonded indebtedness
of the college including plant improvement is displayed in the
appropriate schedule.
Investment in plant fund represents the aggregate total of
buildings, land and moveable and fixed equipment, and library books
owned by the college.
These assets are carried at original cost
plus subsequent additions, or at fair market value at date of gift,
if donated.
In accordance with practices followed by educational
institutions, no provision is made for appreciation or depreciation
of physical plant assets.
Major additions to plant assets,
including purchases of moveable and fixed equipment with a unit
value in excess of $500 having an unexpected life in excess of one
year are capitalized.
Expenditures from current funds for
acquisition of moveable and fixed equipment are recorded in both the
current funds expenditure accounts of the various departments and
in the appropriate plant investment account. The book value at 30
June .1990 is $55,331,473.
Unexpended Plant Funds balance as of 30 June 1990 amounted to
$7,288,947.
Renewals and Replacement Fund balances as of 30 June 1990
totaled $958,344. These funds are distributed among seven accounts:
barracks, barracks telephones, dining hall, infirmary, laundry,
computer acquisition, and rehabilitation reserve.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Organization
The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina, is a component unit
of the State of South Carolina and was established as an institution of
higher education per Section 59~101-10 of the Code of Laws of South
Carolina.
The accompanying financial statements present the financial
position, the changes in fund balances and the current funds revenues,
expenditures and other changes solely of The Citadel, The Military College
of South Carolina, and do not include any other component units of the
State of South Carolina.
The funds of the College are included in the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the State of South Carolina.
Method of Accounting
The financial statements of The Citadel, The Military College of South
Carolina, have been prepared on the accrual basis, except that in
accordance with accounting practices customarily followed by educational
institutions, no provision is made for depreciation of physical plant and
equipment. The statements of current funds revenues, expenditures, and
other changes are statements of financial activities of current funds
related to the current reporting periods. They do not purport to present
the results of operations or the net income or loss for the periods as
would statements of income or statements of revenues and expenditures.
To the extent that current funds are used to finance plant assets, the
amounts so provided are accounted for as (1) expenditures, in the case of
alterations and renovations and purchases of movable equipment and library
books; (2) mandatory transfers, in the case of required provisions for debt
amortization and interest; and (3) transfers of a non-mandatory nature in
all other cases.
Fund Accounting
To ensure the observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use
of the resources available to the College, the accounts of the College are
maintained in accordance with the principles of fund accounting. By this
procedure, resources for various purposes are classified for accounting
and reporting purposes into funds that are in accordance with specified
activities or objectives. Separate accounts are maintained for each fund,
but in the accompanying financial statements, funds that have similar
characteristics have been combined into fund groups.
Accordingly, all
financial transactions have been recorded and reported by fund group.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)
Fund Accounting

(Continue~}

Within each fund group, fund balances restricted by outside sources are
so classified and are distinguished from unrestricted funds allocated to
specific purposes by action of the governing board. Externally restricted
funds may be utilized only in accordance with the purposes established by
the source of such funds and are in contrast with unrestricted funds over
which the governing board retains full control to use in achieving any of
its institutional purposes.
All gains and losses arising from the sale, collection, or other
disposition of investments and other noncash assets are accounted for in
the fund that owns such assets. Ordinary income derived from investments,
receivables, and the like, is accounted for in the fund owning such assets,
except for income derived from investments of endowment and similar funds,
which income is accounted for in the fund to which it is restricted or,
if unrestricted, as revenues in unrestricted current funds. Receipts that
are restricted are recorded initially as additions to restricted fund
balances, then recognized as revenues to the extent that such funds were
expended for the restricted purposes during the current fiscal year.
The current fund group includes those economic resources which are
expendable for operating purposes to perform the primary missions of the
institution.
For a more meaningful disclosure, the current funds are
divided into unrestricted and restricted subgroups.
Current funds are
considered unrestricted unless the restrictions imposed by the donor or
other external agency are so specific that they substantially reduce the
College's flexibility in their utilization.
Auxiliary enterprises are self-supporting business entities and activities
that exist for the purpose of furnishing goods and/or services primarily
to students, faculty, staff, or departments and for which charges are made
that directly relate to such goods and/or services.
Receipts and
disbursements are reported separately as unrestricted current funds in the
current fund group. Assets, liabilities, and fund balances are combined
with other unrestricted current funds for reporting purposes; however, each
separate enterprise maintains its own assets, liabilities, and fund
balances.
The loan fund group accounts for the resources available for loans to
students. Loan funds are provided by the federal government and by other
sources, primarily private gifts.
Expenditures include costs of loan
collections, loan write-offs, and administrative expenses under the
programs.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: (Continued)
Fund Accountin&amp; (Continued)
The endowment and similar funds group includes permanent endowment funds
and funds functioning as endowment (quasi-endowment). Permanent endowment
funds are subject to the restrictions of gift instruments requiring in
perpetuity that the principal be invested and the income only be utilized.
The term "principal" is construed to include the original value of an
endowment, subsequent additions, and realized gains/losses attributable
to investment transactions. Quasi-endowment funds are funds determined
by the governing board, rather than by the donor or other external agency,
to be retained and invested. Subject to any restrictions imposed by the
donor of the resources, the principal as well as income may be utilized
at the discretion of the governing board.
The plant funds group consists of four self-balancing subgroups: (l)
Unexpended Plant Funds, (2) Funds for Renewal and Replacement, (3) Funds
for Retirement of Indebtedness and (4) Investment in Plant. The unexpended
plant funds subgroup accounts for the resources derived from various
sources to finance the acquisition of long-life assets and to provide for
renewal and replacement of existing plant assets. Resources set aside to
accumulate funds for renewal and replacement of institutional properties
are accounted for in the renewal and replacement subgroup. Resources that
are specifically accumulated for interest and principal payments, debt
service reserve funds, and other debt service charges related to plant fund
indebtedness are accounted for in the retire~ent of indebtedness subgroup.
The investment in plant subgroup accounts for all long-life assets in
service and related debt and all construction in progress and related debt.
Net investment in plant represents the excess of the carrying value of
assets over liabilities.
The agency fund group accounts for the assets held on behalf of others in
the capacity of custodian or fiscal agent; consequently, transactions
relating to agency funds do not affect the operating statements of the
College. They include the accounts of students, student organizations,
and other groups directly associated with the College.
Compensated Absences
State employees are entitled to accrue and carry forward at calendar yearend a maximum of 180 days sick leave and 45 days annual vacation leave,
except that faculty members do not accrue annual leave. Upon termination
of employment, the employees are entitled to be paid for accumulated unused
annual vacation leave up to the maximum of 45 days but are not entitled
to any payment for unused sick leave.
The entire unpaid liability,
inventoried at fiscal year-end current salary costs, is recorded in
unrestricted current funds. The net change in the liability is recorded
as a revenue or an expenditure in the current year.

STATE APPROPRIATIONS:
The College is a state-supported entity that receives annual appropriations
for operations from the State of South Carolina. The laws of the state
and the policies and procedures specified by the state for state agencies
and institutions are applicable to the activities of the College.
For
fiscal year 1988-89, an appropriation from the Capital Reserve Fund
authorized by the joint resolution passed in the 1989 General Assembly
session was available effective thirty days after the completion of the
1988-89 fiscal year for specified expenditures.
With respect to the
appropriation allocation of $77,000 for the lump-sum payments to
state-funded employees, effective on the first pay day after November 30,
1989, each state employee who was in continuous state service since June
2, 1989, was eligible to receive a one-time, lump-sum payment. Employees
earning more than $20,000 received $143 and those who earned $20,000 or
less received $286.
With respect to the appropriation allocation of
$84,377 for the Health Insurance Reserve Fund deficiency surcharge of $251,
the allocation was based on the agency's actual July 1989 employee count

INVESTMENTS: (Continued)
Legally authorized investments vary by fund but generally include obligations of the United States and certain
agencies of the United States, obligations of the State of South Carolina and certain of its political subdivisions,
certificates of deposit, collateralized repurchase agreements, and certain obligations of United States
corporations.
All investments managed by the State Treasurer are fully insured and/or collateralized. Information pertaining
to the degree of credit risk attached to the investment portfolios is disclosed in the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report of the State of South Carolina; however, information pertaining to the credit risk for investments
of an individual agency, department or institution is not available.
"Investments Held by State Treasurer" are stated at amortized cost. Purchases and sales are accounted for on the
settlement made date. Unrealized gains and losses on investments have not been recorded but are identifiable.
Realized gains and losses on investments have not been recorded but are identifiable. Realized gains and losses
on securities transactions are included with interest income received for reporting purposes but are separately
identifiable.
Other investments are stated at cost except those received as gifts which are carried at market value at the date
of gift. The carrying values of investments of the various funds at each year-end are as follows:

STUDENT DEPOSITS:

fee revenue during the semester for which the fee revenue is applicable.

NOTE 10.

RETIREMENT PLANS:
Substantially all employees of the College are covered by a retirement plan
through the South Carolina Retirement System (SCRS) or the South Carolina
Police Officer's Retirement System (PORS), both of which are cost-sharing
multiple- employer defined benefit public employee retirement systems.
Generally all state employees are required to participate in and contribute
to the SCRS as a condition of employment unless exempted by law. Generally
all full- time employees whose principal duties are the preservation of
public order, protection or prevention and control of property destruction
by fire are required to participate in and contribute to the PORS as a
condition of employment. These plans provide annuity benefits as well as
disability and group-life insurance benefits to eligible employees.
Plan benefits are established by state law.
Employees in the SCRS are
eligible for a service retirement annuity upon reaching age 65 or
completion of 30 years' credited service. The benefit formula effective
July 1, 1988, for the System is 1. 7% of an employee's average final
compensation multiplied by the number of years of creditable service. An
early retirement option with reduced benefits is available as early as age
60. Employees are vested for a deferred annuity after 5 years' service
and qualify for a survivor's benefit upon completion of 15 years' credited
service. Disability annuity benefits are payable to employees totally and
permanently disabled provided they have a minimum of 5 years' credited
service. A group-life insurance benefit equal to an employee's annual rate
of compensation is payable upon the death of an employee with a minimum
of one year of credited service.
Employees in the PORS are eligible for a monthly pension payable at age
55 with a minimum of 5 years' service or 25 years' credited service
regardless of age. Reduced pension benefits are payable as early as age
50. A member is vested for a deferred annuity with 5 years' service. The
benefit formula for full benefits effective July 1, 1988, for the System
is 2.0% of the employee's average final salary multiplied by the number
of years of credited service. Disability annuity benefits and the grouplife insurance benefit for PORS members are similar to those for SCRS
participants. In addition, participating employers in the PORS contribute
to the accidental death fund which provides annuity benefits to
beneficiaries of police officers and firemen killed in the actual
performance of their duties. These benefits are independent of any other
retirement benefits available to the beneficiary.

The College's total covered payroll for the SCRS for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 1990 and 1989, was $14,872,039 and $14,324,506, respectively.
Effective July 1, 1988, employees are required to contribute 6% of all
compensation. Prior to this, each employee contributed 4% of their salary
up to $4, 800 and 6% of their salary in excess of $4, 800 each calendar year.
Under Title 9 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, the College's liability
under the plan is limited to the amount of contributions (stated as a
percentage of covered payroll) established by the State Budget and Control
Board.
The employer contribution rate is 7. 7%.
The contribution
requirements for the year ended June 30, 1990, were $1,145,147 from the
employer and $891,652 from the employees; these contributions represent
7% and 6%, respectively, of the College's covered payroll.
The
contribution requirements for the year ended June 30, 1989, were $1,002,715
from the employer and $859,472 from employees; these contributions
represent 7.7% and 6.5%, respectively, of the College's covered payroll.
Also, the College paid employer group-life contributions of $22,308 and
$21,486 for the years ended June 30, 1990 and 1989, respectively.
The College' s total covered payroll for the PORS for the fiscal years ended
June 30, 1990 and 1989, was $306,424 and $303,315, respectively. Effective
July 1, 1988, employees are required to contribute 6.5% of all
compensation. Prior to this, the required employee contribution rate was
5% of salary.
Under Title 9 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, the
College's liability under the plan is limited to the amount of
contributions (stated as a percentage of covered payroll) established by
the State Budget and Control Board.
The employer contribution rate is
10.3%. The contribution requirements for the year ended June 30, 1990,
were $31,562 from the employer and $19,918 from employees; these
contribut ions represent 10.3% and 6.5%, respectively, of the College's
covered payroll. The contribution requirements for the year ended June
30, 1989, were $31,250 from the employer and $19,716 from employees; these
contributions represent 10.3% and 6.5%, respectively, of the College's
covered payroll. Also, the College paid employer group- life contributions
of $613 and $607 for the years ended June 30, 1990 and 1989, respectively.
The Systems do not make separate measurements of assets and pension benefit
obligations for individual employers. Accordingly, information regarding
the excess, if any, applicable to the College of the actuarially computed
value of vested benefits over the total of the applicable pension fund and
any balance sheet accruals, less any pension prepayments or deferred
charges, is not available. By state law, the College's liability under
the retirement plans is limited to the amounts appropriated therefore in
the South Carolina Appropriation Act for the applicable year. Accordingly,
the College recognizes no contingent liability for unfunded costs
associated with participation in the plans.

Information concerning the authority under which benefit prov~s~ons and
employee obligations to contribute are established, the significant
actuarial assumptions for the plans, an explanation of the pension benefit
obligations, the pension benefit obligations for the Systems, the total
net assets available for benefits, and ten-year historical trend
information showing the Systems' progress in accumulating sufficient assets
to pay benefits when due is presented in the Systems' separately issued
report.
Certain of the College's employees have elected to be covered under
optional retirement plans. Total covered compensation under these optional
plans was $288,821 and $44,294 for the years ended June 30, 1990 and 1989,
respectively. For the year ended June 30, 1990, contribution requirements
were $20,217 by the employer and $17,653 by the employee. For the year
ended June 30, 1989, the amounts were $3,227 and $2,657, respectively.

NOTE 11.

DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS:
Several optional deferred compensation plans are available to state
employees of its political subdivisions. Certain employees of the College
have elected to participate. The multiple-employer plans, created under
Internal Revenue Code Sections 457, 40l(k), and 403(b) are accounted for
as agency funds of the state and included in the Comprehensive Annual
Financial Report of the State of South Carolina. Employees may withdraw
the current value of their contributions when they terminate state
employment. Employees may also withdraw contributions prior to termination
if they meet requirements specified by the applicable plan.
Compensation deferred under the Section 40l(k) and 403(b) plans is placed
in trust for the contributing employee. The state has no liability for
losses under the plans.
Under the Section 457 plan, all deferred
compensation plan amounts and earnings remain assets of the employer (the
state) subject to the claims of the employer's general creditors, one of
whom is the employee participant. It is unlikely, however, that the state
would ever use plan assets to satisfy claims of the state's general
creditors.
The portion of assets of the Section 457 plan to which the
state has access is disclosed in its financial report.

UNEARNED REVENUES:
Unearned revenues consist of amounts received from various sources but not
yet earned.

NOTE 19. INTERFUND DEBT:
Included in interfund debt are the following items:
A. $300,000 advanced during fiscal year ended June 30, 1986, due from the
investmen t in plant fund to the endowment fund represents supplemental
funding t o purchase land on Lockwood Drive. The Board of Visitors passed
a resolution during FY 90 to forgive the debt.
B. $250,000 advanced during fiscal year ended June 30, 1987, due from the
unexpended plant fund to the unrestricted current fund represents temporary
funding for capital improvements - this advance is to be repaid by gifts to
the capital campaign.
C. $587,655 advanced during fiscal year ended June 30, 1985, due from the
unexpended plant fund to the retirement of indebtedness fund represents a
loan used for the stadium lights project. The College has requested approval
to use excess debt service funds to repay this debt.
D. All other interfund debt is temporary in nature representing cash advances
that were primarily used to pay operating expenses.
These amounts are
considered currently due.
No repayment period has been specified and no interest is being paid on Items
B to C above.
NOTE 20. STUDENT LOAN NOTES RECEIVABLE:
Loan losses on student loan notes receivable are neither estimated nor recorded
in a reserve account (the amount not being considered significant enough to
adversely affect the financial statements). At the time a note is considered
to be uncollectible, it is charged to the principal of the fund from which the
loan was made.
NOTE 21. DUE TO GENERAL FUND OF THE STATE:
The amounts classified as due to general fund of the state represent unremitted
indirect costs on federal grants.
NOTE 22. HURRICANE DAMAGES
The college incurred an estimated $6,607,019 worth of damages from Hurricane
Hugo.
Insurance payments of $4,343,151 had been received by June 30.
The
College anticipates that the majority of the remaining amount will be paid by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). As of June 30, the College had
received no FEMA funds, several projects had not yet been established with FEMA,
the reimbursable amounts of many of the projects established with FEMA were in
dispute, and the few small reimbursement requests submitted to FEMA initially
had been returned pending additional information. Management at the College
is confident that funds will eventually be received from FEMA, but at this time
there is no data available to estimate the range of money that will be received.
Because of this situation, no receivable has been booked for fiscal year 1990
for FEMA funds.

State of Training and Discipline of the Corps of Cadets
1.

General

The Corps of Cadets performed well during School Year 198990.
The year got off to a good start in the fall, with the
Athletic Cadre reporting on 7 August, followed shortly by the
arrival and training of the Fourth Class Athletes. The regular
Cadre returned on 14 August and began a week of training in
preparation for the arrival of the Class of 1993 on 21 August.
Following a good Fourth Class Training Period, the remainder of the
Corps returned to campus on the evening of 27 August.
Classes
began two days later.
All aspects of the new School Year were
going well.
The football team was undefeated in three starts, and
was nationally ranked. The Corps and the Cadet Chain of Command
were performing well.
However, on 21 September, exactly one month
after the arrival of the freshman class, the Corps of Cadets
evacuated the campus prior to the arrival of Hurricane Hugo.
The members of the
Corps from
South Carolina
and
neighboring states travelled home, taking more distant out of state
classmates with them. The football team departed for the US Naval
Academy on 21 September. They chalked up their fourth victory of
the year against the midshipmen on 23 September, and moved up in
the ratings to number 7 in the nation. Original pre-Hugo planning
envisioned the Corps returning to campus on Sunday evening, 24
September. However, as a result of the damage inflicted by the
storm, the Corps was unable to return to Charleston until 4
126

�October. After several days of cleaning debris on campus and in
the surrounding neighborhoods, and a trip to Columbia for a
football game with Western Carolina, the cadets returned to classes
on 9 October.
Hugo tested the Corps and cadet leadership to the fullest.
While the damage to some facilities was significant, the greater
impact of the storm from the cadets' perspective was the major
revision to the school calendar, necessitated by the loss of twelve
class days.
Parents' Day had to be rescheduled, there was no
stadium for home football games, Christmas leave was shortened, and
exams, normally scheduled for completion prior to Christmas, were
waiting after the Corps returned from the holidays. Spring break
was also shortened.
However, these modifications to the college
calendar enabled the Corps to complete the School
Year as
originally scheduled, with Commencement conducted on 12 May 1990.
The mature leadership of the Regimental Commander and his
staff and subordinate commanders contributed immeasurably to smooth
operations. Their no-nonsense approach to their duties resulted in
continued improvement in personal appearance, mess hall procedures,
drill and ceremonies, and overall academic performance.
For the
second straight year, the academic average of the freshman class
exceeded 2.0 for the first semester.
This can be attributed in
large part to the Cadre's emphasis on academic achievement and the
enforcement of good study habits.
The Corps' performance and general morale were enhanced
throughout the year by "their enthusiastic support of the varsity
athletic teams.
Especially noteworthy was the Corps' support of
the football team at the "home" games played at William Brice
Stadium at the University of South Carolina, following Hugo. Other
athletic highlights for the Corps included the basketball team's
return to the renovated Field House, and the baseball team's
winning a Southern Conference Championship, the Atlantic Coast
Regional Championship, and a trip to Omaha, Nebraska to the NCAA
World Series.
Damages inflicted to Stevens Barracks and Padgett Thomas
Barracks by Hugo did not help the situation.
While major
renovations remain in the future, positive near-term actions have
been initiated to improve the cadets' living conditions.
Guard
rooms and selected rooms throughout the Corps area were upgraded
following the storm.
This summer, Stevens Barracks will be closed
and more rooms will undergo a facelift, to include the installation
of new floors, replacement of ceilings, and painting of walls and
furniture.
The completion of the renovation of McAlister Field House
marked a significant milestone for the Corps during School Year
1989-90. For the first time in three years, the entire Corps could
assemble indoors for such activities as basketball games, Greater
Issues, and West Foundation presentations, and the Cadet Talent
Show. The inauguration of Lieutenant General Claudius E. Watts III
127

�as the 17th President of The Citadel, and the Commencement ceremony
for the Class of '90 were very special events conducted in the
renovated Field House during the spring.
2.

Cadet Regulations

The Blue Book that was revised in 1988 continues to serve
as a basic guide for standards of conduct for the Corps of Cadets.
The Blue Book continued to be favorably accepted by the Corps and
proved its merit throughout the School Year.
3.

Cadre and Fourth Class Training

The special emphasis placed on leadership and "training the
trainer" was instrumental in the superb job the Cadre did in
training the members of the Class of 1993. The Cadre's approach of
being "firm but fair", of setting the example, and treating
freshmen with dignity, resulted in a major decline in disciplinary
actions relating to violations of the
Fourth Class System.
Throughout the School Year, emphasis in training was placed on
establishing priorities and achieving a proper balance between
military, academics, physical, and extracurricular activities.
Continued emphasis on special leadership training for commanders
and staff officers, resulted in increased confidence and more
efficient performance.
The Junior Leaders Training
Course
initiated in 1989 was conducted again this spring for members of
the Second Class.
4.

Drill and Ceremonies

The performance of the Corps during drill and ceremonies
showed continued improvement during School Year 1989-90.
Tuesday
and Thursday drill periods were better organized and executed.
Tuesday drills emphasized squad and platoon movements until Drill
Competition was completed for those elements. Company Commanders
were assembled during these periods, and company level drill
procedures were reviewed. Thus, all levels of unit leadership were
learning and improving skills during these drill periods.
Honor Guard Ceremonies were re-instituted during the School
Year. Special ceremonies were conducted by Company O, the Band,
and Color Guard, to honor Major General T. Eston Marchant, Adjutant
General of South Carolina; Colonel John Butterfield, United States
Air Force, ROTC Regional Commander; Lieutenant General David R.
Palmer, Superintendent of the United States Military Academy;
General Andrew J. Goodpaster, United States Army, Retired; and
United States Senator Ernest F. Hollings. An Honor Guard formation
in McAlister Field House was also used as the foundation for the
Cincinnati Award Ceremony due to inclement weather.
The practice of excusing the top four companies from
Tuesday Drill, based on
performance during Friday afternoon
parades, and scheduling the Honor Guard in lieu of parades or
reviews during questionable weather, had positive impact on the
128

�Corps.
Also, announcing ceremony scores immediately after they
were totaled. and furnishing copies of the score sheets to the
companies, increased interest and motivation.
Company K was the overall winner of parade and review
competition.
However. Company E was the recipient
of the
Commandant's Cup. as the best drilled company for the School Year.
The Salute Gun Battery performed in a superior manner throughout
the year.
On one occasion, the firing pin failed on a gun;
however, the Battery continued to fire the salute. Spectators were
unaware that the majority of the rounds were fired by only one gun.

The more serious disciplinary actions continued to be
alcohol related. Of the 18 cadets who appeared before Commandant
Boards during the School Year, 14 were referred to the Board for
infractions where alcohol was a contributing factor to misconduct.
Tougher penalties were imposed for these type offenses throughout
the year. The number of alcohol related cases declined from 67 in
1988-89 to 41 in 1989-90.
129

�6.

Substance Abuse Program

The Alcohol Abuse Program initiated in School Year 1983-84
continues.
This program
requires all
cadets involved in
disciplinary actions that were alcohol related, to report to the
Department of Psychology's counselor to the Corps for screening,
testing, and counseling. In addition to the 41 cadets who were
alcohol referrals in School Year 1989-90, the Student Counseling
Center enrolled 6 cadets in the program, who were self referrals.
Six cadets were also self referrals during School Year 1988-89.
Self referrals bring the overall total number of cadets involved in
the program for School Year 1989-90 to 47.
The zero tolerance policy regarding drugs continued to be
enforced.
One senior cadet was suspended in the fall for two
semesters, for simple possession of marijuana off campus.
7.

Fourth Class Attrition

The Fourth Class attrition rate, for all causes during
School Year 1989-90, was 24.5%.
Cadet leaders continued a
concerted effort to exercise positive leadership and "personalize"
the Fourth Class System by requiring the Cadre to show special
interest in each freshman's grades, personal problems, and family
matters. Special measures were taken to let the new cadets know
the Cadre's mission was to establish and maintain high standards,
and to help freshmen to meet those standards. Additionally, the
Regimental Commander personally interviewed each out-processing
Fourth Glassman to ensure that the cadet was not leaving due to unprofessionalism on the part of the Cadre.
Significant gains
continued to be noted in the overall quality of the Fourth Class
System.
C.

Special Activities

Corps activities for the first semester were performed as
scheduled through 21 September 1989.
Plans for transporting,
feeding, and billeting the Band and a contingent of the cadets at
Quantico, Virginia and Fort Meade, Maryland for The Citadel vs Navy
Football Game, on 23 September, were completed. However, the trip
was cancelled on 21 September because of Hurricane Hugo. Following
Hugo and the Cadets' return in October, the Corps conducted a
march-on at The Citadel vs Western Carolina football game in
Columbia. The Corps was awarded the key to the city by the Mayor
of Columbia.
The Commandant's Inspection was held as originally scheduled~
on 28 October 1989.
The inspection served as an intermediate
milestone in efforts to normalize Corps operations.
A thorough
inspection of rooms was conducted.
The Corps then formed for
personal inspection on the parade ground, as has been done for the
past three years. All aspects of the inspection were satisfactory.
Parents' Day

activities were delayed by Hugo to the weekend of
130

�4 November.
All phases of this special weekend were well executed
and well received by the large crowd of guests on campus. As the
renovation of McAlister Field House was not yet completed, the
Junior Sword Drill again performed on the quadrangle of Padgett
Thomas Barracks.
The Ring Ceremony was also held in Summerall
Chapel for the third year.
Homecoming activities were conducted during the weekend of 1719 November. All activities were attended by large crowds.
All
Corps ceremonies were
conducted with prec1s1on
and special
enthusiasm, in honor of the "old grads" who were back on campus.
The Citadel vs Furman football game was played at the repaired
Hagood Stadium.
Many of the problems associated with Hugo were
being overcome and operations were returning to normal.
The Christmas season for
the Corps commenced with
the
initiation of the "first annual" Corps' Christmas Tree Lighting
Ceremony on Summerall Field, in front of Padgett Thomas Barracks.
The Christmas Candlelight Services originally scheduled for 3-4
December were moved to the evenings of 17 and 18 December to bring
the program closer to Christmas. This change was made possible as
a result of first semester exams being moved to January, after the
Corps returned from the holidays.
Capacity crowds were in
attendance on both evenings.
The Summerall Guards performed at The Citadel vs East Tennessee
State football game at Johnson, Tennessee, on 28 October.
In
addition
to the
Parents' Day,
Homecoming, and
Corps Day
performances, two performances were conducted at Disney World
during the period 11-13 March.
The Guard also performed a special
indoor drill at the Charleston Place Omni, before the National Wild
Turkey Association. A revised seven minute drill series was
developed and presented prior to graduation. The new drill is more
crisp and precision oriented, and was specifically designed to meet
time constraints associated with future on the road half-time
performances.
Corps Day Weekend activities began with the Marion Square
Review commemorating the 147th Anniversary of The Citadel, on 15
March 1990.
The momentum regained toward the end of the first
semester was maintained, and the Corps of Cadets performed well
before large crowds for the reviews on 16 and 17 March 1990. Cadet
Gheysens, the Regimental Executive Officer, and LTC Robert Collins,
Director of the Physical Plant were awarded Palmetto Medals in
recognition of their outstanding performance following Hurricane
Hugo. The march to the chapel by elements of the Corps for Sunday
services, and the Band's rousing concert of patriotic music in
Hampton Park were well received by the numerous visitors on campus.

Operations

1989-90 was our fourth year as the Palmetto Battalion.
This
organization. made up
entirely of
Army contract and
scholarship cadets,
plans and coordinates
all the training
activities for the Army cadets under the supervision and guidance
of our Active Duty cadre.
The battalion conducted six field
training exercises for cadets bound for the Advanced Summer Camp.
The culmination of this year's training was the week long "MiniCamp" held 14-19 May '90 at Fort Jackson.
The Mini-Camp is a
culmination of all training that has occurred during the year and
is the final test to see if our cadets are prepared for the
Advanced Summer Camp training. Our Ranger Challenge Team finished
fourth out of 15 teams selected to compete in First Region
competition. Several distinguished guest speakers addressed Army
cadets during the year to include:
Colonel Henry L. Hunt, Deputy
Staff Chaplain, USA Forces Command, Fort MacPherson, Georgia;
Brigadier General Joseph C. Hurteau, Deputy Commanding General, 1st
Special Operations Command, Fort Bragg, NC; and Major General T.
Eston Marchant, Adjutant General, S. C. National Guard.
724
students were enrolled in the Army ROTC program during second
semester while 738 students were enrolled in the program first
semester.
Besides
the 75 cadets
who will ultimately
be
commissioned with the Class of 1990, 75 junior cadets are under
contract or scholarship. Currently, 24 sophomores and freshmen are
on Army scholarships.
4.

Extracurricular Activities

The Battalion had an active company in the Association of
the United States Army.
It has been cited as the largest student
chapter in Cadet Command. It sponsored the annual formal Dining-In
and again sent six cadets and a Citadel display to the annual AUSA
Convention in Washington, D. C. in October. The Citadel Chapter of
the Army Aviation Association of America (AAAA), as the only
student chapter, remained very active with field trips, displays,
and guest speakers.
Members of the AAAA attended the annual AAAA
Convention in Orlando in April.
The Cordell Airborne Ranger
Company is another active organization. Consisting of 120 cadets,
they participated in four field training exercises. The Society of
the American Military Engineers remains very active as they visited
several projects, including a four-day trip to Fort Belvoir,
Virginia, to tour the Engineer Research and Development facility.
Last summer, Army cadets did extremely well in our special training
133

�schools. 37% of our cadets finished in the top 1/3 of all cadets
at Advanced Camp. Three of the 97 cadets to attend Advanced Camp
received the Platoon Leadership Award. Three cadets received their
Ranger Tab at Ranger School. Fifty cadets received their Airborne
wings and 6 cadets received the Air Assault Badge.
Ten cadets
attended Cadet Troop Leadership Training with Active Duty units.
Army cadets will be attending these schools again this summer and a
higher success rate is anticipated.
5.

Future Developments

The Battalion will continue to strive to recruit more
individuals into the Army program and train and retain the quality
cadets to commission them as lieutenants upon graduation.
We
strive for excellence in leadership, but want the whole man who
also demonstrates the academic and physical requirements necessary
to become a quality officer. We have made numerous improvements to
our facilities and program and, during the recent inspection by the
Commanding General of Cadet Command, he stated, "The Citadel is the
best ROTC Battalion in Cadet Command."
We are proud of what we
have accomplished, but we will continue to work hard providing the
cadets the training, equipment and material necessary to educate
them on the opportunities of the Total Army Force; the Active Army,
the Army Reserves, and the Army National Guard.

Department of Aerospace Studies

1.

Personnel

Colonel Kenneth E. Krause continued as the Professor of
Aerospace Studies and Deputy Commandant of Cadets.
Unit manning
consists of eight officers serving as Assistant Professors of
Aerospace Studies, five enlisted
members, and one
civilian
secretary.
Captain Laura A. Berry, Captain John D. Crawford,
Captain Thomas P. Gill, and Captain Edmund G. ~emi served their
first year as Assistant Professors of Aerospace Studies. Captains
Memi, Crawford, and Gill served as company tactical officers, and
Captain Memi, at the President's request, converted to Assistant
Public Affairs officer working for LTC Legare.
No officers or
enlisted personnel are scheduled for reassignment during the summer
of 1990.
2.

Operations

The Department of Aerospace Studies implemented several
academic programs begun during the previous year. The instructor
training program prepared new instructors for their first teaching
experience and provided reviews of administrative procedures,
regulatory requirements, and new instructor improvement techniques.
Lesson plans, examinations, and related course materials were
updated.
At the close of the SY 1989-90, 791 students were
enrolled in the AFROTC program.
Of these, 57 were Air Force
scholarship/contract students.
For FY 1990, 23 cadets were (or
will be) commissioned as active duty Air Force second lieutenants.
134

�Due to Air Force directed manpower ceiling reductions, contract
cadets were once again offered the opportunity to voluntarily disenroll from the Professional Officer Course and four cadets took
advantage of that offer.
One cadet was dis-enrolled involuntarily
for failure to maintain standards.
Estimated officer production
for FY 1991 is 24.
Special students (those not currently on
contract) continue to be attracted to the AFROTC curriculum of
management, leadership, history, and foreign affairs.
Current
trends indicate approximately 50 cadets from the Class of 1993 will
seek an Air Force commission.
3.

Extracurricular Activities

The Department of Aerospace Studies continued to engage in
many activities to enhance our cadets' knowledge of the Air Force
mission. For example, we hosted several prominent guest speakers
and briefing teams and continued the Base Visit program.
During
this year, guest speakers included the Air University National
Security Briefing Team and monthly intelligence briefings at our
Commander's Calls.
We had three briefings by officers directly
involved in the planning and execution of Operation JUST CAUSE.
Additionally, panels of Active Duty Air Force officers from
Charleston AFB presented their personal perspective of the Air
Force way of life to sophomore cadets in the Aerospace Studies
program. We expanded this Shadow Program to pair each senior with
an Active Duty junior officer in his related career field for a
year-long shadow opportunity for the senior. Five rising seniors
spent three weeks at various bases in the Advanced Training
Program. Sixty-one percent of our cadets finished in the top 50
percent of their respective summer Field Training Encampments. We
had one Vice-Commandant Award winner and two Superior Performance
Award winners. Several base visits were also conducted, providing
184 of our cadets a first-hand orientation to the Air Force
mission. Our Detachment was also involved in several retention and
motivational activities:
Overall, 447 cadets participated in
incentive programs during the School Year. Citadel AFROTC cadets
placed sixth (of 148 AFROTC detachments) and our Active Duty staff
placed tenth in a nationwide Physical Fitness Test competition.
The Arnold Air Society had another successful year.
They were
selected as the Area V headquarters for SY 1990-91, and raised over
$600.00 participating in the Arthritis Foundation Telethon.
4.

Future Plans

Next year, the total enrollment in AFROTC is, for the first
time, expected to exceed 800 cadets. Continued emphasis on showing
cadets a first-hand look at the Air Force and Air Force career
opportunities will underscore our cadet-centered activities.
We
hope to increase our Advanced Training and Base Visit programs next
year and will continue to offer the Flight Orientation Program to
even more cadets.
With our frequently updated and stimulating
curriculum, we expect superb results--both in an academic and
leadership sense next year. We will continue to emphasize quality
in recruiting of our future Air Force officers.

Procurement Division, Manpower Department, Headquarters Marine
Corps; and Colonel Wesley Fox, USMC, Commanding Officer, Officer
Candidate School Quantico, Virginia.
The Naval ROTC Unit placed considerable emphasis upon
conducting a variety of training activities
to enhance the
professional development of our midshipmen.
These activities
included additional training days devoted to physical fitness and
swim
testing, sail qualifications, ship tours; the "Seaview
Program" which permitted 2 juniors to spend 24 hours aboard
Charleston-based Navy ships to experience, first-hand, the duties
and responsibilities of a division officer; a Mini-Surface Warfare
Officer Course for six newly commissioned Ensigns as preparation
for their first training assignment; and a Marine-option field
training exercise at Parris Island, S. C., for 51 Marine-option
personnel, which focused on the practical application of classroom
instruction. In addition, unit personnel managed the embark of 150
midshipmen, via Charleston, from other NROTC units across the
country and from the U. S. Naval Academy; participated in four
college weekend visitor programs and four football recruiting
weekends; escorted 130 Fourth Classmen on a tour of the USS
Yorktown; reorganized The Citadel Navy Sailing Association to
provide for more active leadership and management on the part of
members and increased involvement
in sailing activities;
a
recruiting visit by MECEP students to MECEP prep school to bolster
MECEP enrollment; and conducted a recruiting visit to the Navy
BOOST School to bolster unit and college minority enrollment.
As always, emphasis is being placed on motivating our NROTC
midshipmen to perform to the limit of their capabilities. Academic
grades continue to be above the college average. During the spring
Chief of Naval Education and Training Scholarship Selection Board,
12 Citadel NROTC cadets were selected out of 21 applicants for a 57
per cent selection rate. MECEP students continue to set a sterling
example for our midshipmen with an aggregate grade point average of
3.60, while our Navy Enlisted Commissioning Program students
finished the year with a 3.30 aggregate grade point average.

General

The Department of Student Activities enjoyed a productive
and dynamic 1989-90 School Year.
The department provided a wide
variety of activities to all students, coordinated efforts for the
Campus Life Program, and continued to support community service
projects.
The new cadet orientation and welcome was upgraded through
the addition of a welcome reception hosted by The Citadel's First
Lady. Etiquette instruction was also provided by the Commandant's
wife. Five new organizations were added to the Student Activities
137

�role, including The Citadel MBA Association.
This is the first
graduate
student/alumni
organization coordinated
by Student
Activities.
The Bulldog Booster Program of matching freshman
cadets with Charleston families continued for the second year.
Improvements to Mark Clark Hall during the School Year
included refurbishing restrooms and painting hallways, stairwells,
and the auditorium on the second floor. Asbestos removal from the
building was initiated in May.
2.

Social and Recreational Activities

The Standing Hop Committee, with guidance and direction of
the Cadet Hostess, planned and orchestrated the three annual Corps
formal hops.
The receiving line for the Homecoming Hop enabled
cadets to present their dates to the new President and First Lady
of The Citadel.
The Beach Club was used for the Cadre and new cadet welcome
functions. A September beach outing, and an April beach social for
the Corps were also conducted.
The April beach party included a
special recognition for Raymond Mazyck, and entertainment provided
by cadet musical groups.
The annual cadet oyster roast was conducted for the first
time as a non-alcoholic function at the Mt. Pleasant National Guard
Armory.
The Super Bowl party, TV movies,
continued to be popular and well attended.

The Cadet Hostess provided family birthday cakes to cadets
and was an effective link in supporting student travel requests.
With the completion of McAlister Field House renovations,
the Cadet Talent Show returned in March after a three year absence.
This year's show was of professional quality, and equalled the
performances of earlier years. The cadet talent and support by the
Corps were noteworthy.
The Citadel Players presented two performances of "A Night
at the Rainbow Bar and Grill" in the spring. The production was
well received by cadets and members of the local community.
Student Activities also coordinated the annual United Way
drive:
$30,000 in pledges and $34,300.82 in actual collections
were received. Student contributions in 1989-90 doubled that of
the previous year.

The Beach Club

Hugo inflicted heavy damage on the Beach Club.
However,
Club operations included a full schedule of activities in the fall,
before the storm, and the facility was operating in a reduced mode
in support of cadet activities by the end of March 1990.
A major
clean-up effort at the Beach House was conducted during the winter.
In addition to the Corps' beach party, a cook-out for the Campus
Family Life and Citadel's Women's Club was held at the beach, in
April. The shuttle bus service, which had been in operation before
the storm, resumed in April, and enabled Fourth Classmen to enjoy
the Beach Club. A plan to re-build or renovate the main Beach Club
facility is under development.

Post Office

The Post
Office provided
timely
service and
mail
distribution for the campus.
Temporary relocation of the Post
Office from Mark Clark Hall to a trailer, during asbestos removal
operations, was accomplished following graduation.
5.

Publications

The Brigadier, the student newspaper, was recognized by the
South Carolina Press Association with the following awards (all
state colleges competing, regardless of size): First Place - Best
Editorial, Best Informational Graphic, and Best Editorial Cartoon;
Second Place - Best Layout and Design; Third Place - Best News
Story and Best Editorial.
The number of first place awards
received by The Citadel was the largest received by any college in
South Carolina. In national competition, the American Scholastic
Press Association presented The Brigadier a first place award for
Best Sports Coverage, and a second place award for overall
competition.
Publication of The Sphinx, the student yearbook, was not
completed before the end of the School Year.
The yearbook is
scheduled for distribution from the publisher in June.
The
material sent to the publisher should result in a high quality
cadet staff production.
The freshman handbook, The Guidon, continues to be a useful
reference for new members of the Corps of Cadets. This publication
is scheduled for printing and distribution by mid-summer.
The Shako, The Citadel literary magazine, doubled the
number of editions published over the previous School Year.
Quality improvements noted in the publication were the direct
result of the cadet editor and the faculty advisor.
The Fulcrum, developed by The Citadel Honors Students
Association, was published for the first time in March 1990. This
literary work is being reviewed for possible quarterly publication
during the coming School Year.

Special Services

The Fine Arts Program increased the number of offerings in
1989-90 to e ight. The wide variety of performances in this program
included the United States Navy Band from Washington, DC, a ballet,
a symphony, "Porgy &amp; Bess", and a variety of concerts.
Cadets
enjoyed the on-campus programs, at no charge. Special rates and
arrangements for cadets to attend off-campus events were also
arranged by Student Activities.
The Citadel Blood Drive continued to be a major provider
for the local community.
Blood collection capabilities by the
local Red Cross were curtailed by Hurricane Hugo. Blood donations
by the Corps resumed in March and April, after the Red Cross
replaced essential equipment.
Substance Abuse Seminars continued to provide effective
information to members of the Corps.
Special substance abuse
presentations were made this past School Year by an attorney, a
medical doctor, and a senior business executive.
Cadet awareness
of alcohol abuse also stimulated the formation of a Citadel Chapter
of Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD).
The Ring and Invitations Committee, and the senior class
officers coordinated and hosted the Ring Presentation Ceremony and
class banquet.
The date for these special events was adjusted
because of Hurricane Hugo.
The Student Activities Department continued to provide
leadership for a variety of awards committees, and hosted the
annual Cadet Awards Banquet in Mark Clark Hall in April.
The
department also chaired the Parents' Day, Homecoming, and Corps Day
Activities Committees.
The Big Brother Program and initiatives in support of Burke
High School were other major local community service projects
supported by Student Activities.
The department also coordinated and processed the necessary
documentation that resulted in the selection of a USA TODAY second
team (top 40 in the nation) Academic All-American, a Leadership
America selection (top 25 rising seniors in the United States), and
a Federal Bureau of Investigation National Intern Selectee.

DEVELOPMENTAL MATTERS

General

The six development functions---fund ra1s1ng, alumni affairs, job
placement, governmental affairs, public relations and publications and chaplaincy
complemented each other effectively in 1989-90
B.

Fund Raising

1.

Development Office

Despite the successful and early completion of The General Mark W. Clark
Campaign for The Citadel Tomorrow, Fiscal Year 1989-90 was marked by two
fundraising initiatives while the day-to-day business of collecting Clark
Campaign pledges and commitments and other designated gifts to the college
continued.
In September 1989, Hurricane Hugo struck the coast of South Carolina and
in its fury inflicted more damage upon The Citadel than the campus had
experienced in its history.
The Development Office passed word of the damage
to alumni and friends and solicited their financial relief. We were careful to
point out that optimism ran high that insurance coverages and FEMA would help
us recover most of the losses. We knew, however, that there inevitably would
be a shortfall in this recovery and that we would have to have private support.
Two mailings in October and December graphically portrayed the power of the
storm, and we were successful in raising over $206,000
As part of the planning for the President's inauguration, the Development
Office designed a "mini-campaign" to retire some of the college's financial
obligations. The Citadel has some $3 million in debts not covered by outstanding
bonds:
varying amounts for the Lockwood Field purchase, a long-standing note
due The Citadel development Foundation for seignious Hall, the obligation due
Excess Debt Service for the Johnson Hagood Stadium lights, an as-yet unbonded
obligation for the Faculty Quarters Project, and the college's accepted portion
of Vandiver Hall construction costs. Through other avenues, we feel that this
debt can be reduced almost by half.
We approached our alumni for short-term
commitments of $1.5 million to be collected by the end of 1991 and before the
college's Sesquicentennial in 1992. At year end, $450,000 in pledges had been
made. We are confident that by the end of Calendar Year 1990, The Inaugural
Campaign will approach the $750,000 level and we will meet our goal by the end
of 1991.
In tabular form, the following represents total cash and gifts-in-kind to
the college (excluding The Citadel Development Foundation and The Citadel
Brigadier Club) for the past year:

Scholarships

Of these gifts, a particular one must receive special note. The Jessie
Ball Dupont Fund of Jacksonville, Florida was approached some time ago about the
possibility of funding Project Challenge-- -a unique partnership between The
Citadel and Charleston's inner-city Burke High school. Under the direction of
education professor Colonel Tom Mahan, Project Challenge is designed to identify
and assist at-risk minority students by providing them counseling and a
specially-designed curriculum to keep them in school.
If successful, this
program could well become the prototype for other such at-risk programs
throughout the nation. The Dupont Fund saw the difference our program could make
in K-12 education and is providing over $150,000 in incremental seed funding for
the next three years. This grant insures that this experiment will have every
chance for success.
The Development Office is pleased to be a vital, integral, and essential
part of planning for The Citadei's future.
As State appropriations for our
"assisted" college decrease, the importance of private revenue support becomes
increasingly crucial.

Citadel Development Foundation

The Citadel Development Foundation received $966,035 in gifts during the
year. Alumni donated $722,209, parents and other friends $71,685 and business,
industries and foundations $172,140.
3.

The Brigadier Club, Inc.

The Citadel Brigadier Club continues to achieve new membership and dollar
totals.
1989 was a great year.
Les McElwee '53, Executive Director of The
Citadel Brigadier Club, and his assistant, Caleb Davis '72, credit the success
with a positive attitude on the part of coaches, administrative officials and
cadet-student-athletes. Coaches have visited Citadel Clubs in South Carolina,
North Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Virginia, along with Les, Caleb, and Walt
Nadzak. It is all worthwhile, the coaches say, because of the super support our
alumni and friends give The Citadel and The Citadel Brigadier Club. In 1990,
the second Brigadier Club Auction was held and $32,000 was realized. This was
even better than the first Auction totals of $26,000. Again, thanks to friends
and alumni who make it all possible.

that resulted in a positive public relations image for the institution.
The October 16 issue of U. S. News and World Report, featured The
Citadel as seventh among 148 Southern Colleges and Universities in the annual
guide to "America's Best Colleges." This is the second consecutive national

took over 12 months to film and produce was made available to cadets, parents
and friends of the college. It met with great success and replaces an outdated
film used by the Admissions and recruiting office for viewing by applicants and

other students, faculty, staff and friends of The Citadel. Protestant services
were held on Sunday mornings in Summerall Chapel and Sunday evenings in Mark
Clark Hall. Special, ecumenical services with a reception following recognized
major Citadel weekends (Parents' Day, Homecoming, Corps Day), anniversaires of

Room of Summerall Chapel each Friday.
2.

On-Campus Ministry

Religious activities included Monday night denominational group
meetings and Thursday night para-church group meetings-- -all well attended.
These meetings were under the guidance of campus ministers from local churches
who are specifically designated to work with the different faiths and
denominations. Special first semester events included the following:
145

�a.
"Gathering" for parents and new cadets was held the Sunday
afternoon prior to beginning of the school year.
This well attended event
included a brief worship service followed by a reception and the opportunity for
parents and new fourth classmen to meet the Director of Religious Activities and
campus ministers.
b.
The Religious Banquet for fourth classmen was held after
completion of the first week of fourth class training. This event gave the new
cadets an opportunity to meet other new cadets and to have their first, regular
meeting with the campus minister of their faith or denomination.
c. Religious Emphasis '89 was held 23-24 October 1989. Mr. Doug
Burleigh, President of Young Life, was the featured speaker. Music was provided
by the noted singer, Kim Boyce. Each day began with a Prayer Breakfast, and each
evening, a worship service was held in the chapel---all voluntary.
d. The annual Christmas Candlelight Service was held in Summerall
Chapel on the evenings of 3-4 December 1989. This service combined all Citadel
cadet choirs and members of the band; and played to an overflow crowd of cadets,
faculty, staff and guests from surrounding communities both evenings. The plate
offering was donated to hurricane Hugo relief efforts.
Colonel Floyd W. Brown, Jr., USAF, Ret., former Commandant and current
Director of the Summerall Chapel Association and Active Duty Advisory Committee,
was appointed in January to serve as Coordinator of Chaplaincy Activities. He
replaced Chaplain Gordon E. Garthe, Chaplain to the Corps, who resigned that same
month. Under Colonel Brown's guidance the following activities were initiated
for second semester:
a. Guest preachers representing all Christian faiths/denominations
were invited to serve as guest clergy at the 9:30 a.m. Protestant Service each
Sunday.
b. Colonel Brown took three cadets to Washington, D. C., in February
1990 to attend the National Prayer Breakfast and participate in the Student
Leadership Conference. Cadets Bentley, Brannon and Selzer gave a good account
of themselves, and Colonel Brown received many compliments from other
participants praising the cadets' appearance and conduct.
c. The cadets initiated a student forum/ Sunday School that was held
each Sunday following Protestant and Catholic services.
Presbyterian Campus
Minister, Dr. Wanda Neely, and Colonel Brown served as advisors for this group.
Guest ministers or speakers were often invited to make the keynote remarks.
d. A "Morning Coffee and Refreshment Hour" was begun, following the
9:30 service, to afford cadets an opportunity to meet people from downtown or
from the faculty and staff. This event was hosted by the Office of the Chaplain
and the Summerall Chapel Association. Much credit for the success of this is
given to Mr. and Mrs. Ron (Linda) Suciu.

attended/held off campus under the direction of the Director of Religious
Activities and campus ministers.
In August, Chaplain Garthe held a "teambuilding" retreat for the 1989-90 Religious Council at Ebenezer Retreat Center,
Rincon, Georgia.
The Protestant and Gospel choirs successfully performed at churches
throughout South Carolina and in other states. The Protestant choir's spring
tour took them to Florida and Georgia for church appearances. The Gospel Choir
performed in Maryland, D. C. and Virginia, including the Pentagon, during their
spring tour. The success of these tours, plus the conduct and appearance of our
cadets, continues to be a strong public relations asset for The Citadel and the
state.
Each cadet parish (Protestant, Catholic, Episcopal) sent a
representative to Washington for the National Prayer Breakfast and Student
Leadership Conference in Washington.
Colonel Brown attended the Service Academy Chaplains' Conference at
the U. S. Naval academy, Annapolis, Maryland, 24-26 April 1990. This conference,
held at a different military/naval academy each year, provides an outstanding
forum for discussion of items/issues common to all military schools, whether
state-supported (Citadel, VMI) or national service academies.

Facilities

Roof repairs were completed on Summerall Chapel and the Howie
Carillon in early spring. Although the damaged roofs existed before, Hurricane
Hugo
exacerbated
the
situation,
requiring
the
much-needed
roof
replacement/repair.
Repair of interior walls and refurbishing of the pews and chancel
furniture in Summerall Chapel was undertaken in June as an "in-house" and "selfhelp" series of projects.
The Citadel's Physical Plant is assisting in this
work as well as restoring outside lighting for the great chancel window.
Office space in Mark Clark Hall is being refurbished to provide a
more efficient office and meeting area for the Director of Chaplaincy, improve
the cadet "relaxation area," and provide a counseling area for use by the
different campus ministers. The old Chaplain's office in Summerall Chapel has
147
