THE MILITARY COLLEGE OF
SOUTH CAROLINA

ANNUAL REPORT
1991-1992

Printed Under The Direction Of The
State Budget And Control Board

THE CITADEL.
ARCHIVES AND MUSEUM

��HIGHLIGHTS
The Civil Engineering program was granted full accreditation by the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
The evening engineering
program is making excellent progress with a full time program coordinator being
hired and a more aggressive community education and recruitment effort started.
The Electrical Engineering day program was re-accredited by the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology.
Grimsley Hall, the new Electrical
Engineering and Physics Building was de.dicated in November 1991, and The Graham
Copeland Auditorium in Grimsley Hall was dedicated in 1992.
The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education approved a program
leading to the M.Ed. in School Administration to be offered by The Citadel at
Francis Marion College.
The Citadel Development Foundation funded The Citadel's 19' 1-92 grant
request in the amount of $1.682 million. Funds from the foundat:i.on supported
scholarships, grants, faculty development and research, seminars and conferences,
cadet travel, and recognitlon of faculty achievement. In the second year since
the establishment of Academic Impact Fund, these funds continued to support
worthwhile efforts aimed at enriching the academic experiences of our students.
The Citadel-Burke High School collaboration, Project Challenge, continues
to be an asset to the community.
Under this program, the first graduating
seniors were granted $72,000 in scholarships. We were contacted by a research
firm hired by the U. S. Department of Education, and we will be included in their
catalog of successful, nationally recognized, high school/college collaborative
programs. Top academic honors at Burke High School for grade levels 9-12 went
to "Project Challenge" students.
The financial aid process has been enhanced this year with the addition of
a full time director and expanded utilization of the SIS computer system. With
the recession, more financial aid and scholarship assis t ance requests are being
made. Total aid for students for 1991-92, including P TC and Athletic Grants,
totaled $6,983,634 with 2,781 recipients.
During this year, major strides were made towE d upgrading The Citadel's
campuswide local area network now called Citnet. Almost all faculty and deskbased staff are connected to the college's campuswide VAX network.
The
development of Coastnet allows computer users at member organizations to
communicate easily with each other through electronic mail and the use of each
other's computer services, especially library services. All _students, faculty
and staff now have convenient access to the Internet, the international computer
network that links schools and colleges, military and government agencies, and
businesses and non-profit organizations.

�The third floor of the Daniel Library was renovated. This created more
space for the library. Ten thousand visitors toured the Museum during the year
and forty-four researchers used the archival collections while over 250 written
and oral requests for information were received from national and international
sources.
Great strides were made in the completion of several capital improvement
projects; the new mess hall, Vandiver Hall and Grimsley Hall were all completed.
Work on the design of the new barracks was initiated and is now well on its way,
with the engineering firm of Davis and Floyd· working on the construction drawings
phase of the project.
This project, when completed, will replace the four
existing barracks, with the first barracks being constructed on the site of old
Coward Hall.
Fiscal Year 1991-92 continued the downward trend in funding for Higher
Education in South Carolina which started in Fiscal Year 1989-90 and continued
in FY 1990-91. Fiscal Year 1990-91 was initially funded at 87.8% but was reduced
by 3% during the year. Fiscal Year 1991-92 was initially funded at only 80.3%
of the Commission of Higher Education Formula.
That was then reduced by a
Governor's veto of .6% in June, and was followed by a 1% cut from the Budget and
Control Board on 30 July as well as a directive to sequester 2% of the
appropriations until a final decision as of 1 January 1992. Those funds were
subsequently withdrawn. Finally, an additional 1% reduction was directed by the
Budget and Control Board on 11 February 1992. The final level of funding after
the four cuts noted above was only 7 5. 7% of the CHE Formula. As a result of this
extremely low level of funding, the lowest for Higher Education in at least ten
years, The Citadel had to take unusual measures to absorb the cuts and still
provide the quality academic offerings required. The college extended its hiring
delay from 12 weeks to 16 weeks; we further cut non-personnel support areas such
as supplies, travel, and contractual services; and we instituted a struct control
over energy use in an effort to reduce utilities costs. Finally, on 11 May 1992,
the President directed a complete freeze on expenditures of non-personnel funds
except for those purchases required to support Summer School or to support the
Physical Plant's requirements for approved projects. As a result of these severe
budget reduction measures, the college was able to finish the fiscal year "in the
black."
The Citadel Trust, Incorporated, became an incorporated entity as of 1 July
1992 in accordance with authority granted by the South Carolina General Assembly.
The new eleemosynary corporation was established to assume responsibility for the
investment management of the college's scholarship and other endowment funds
which had previously been managed by The Citadel Board of Visitors.
The college again received an "unqualified" opinion on its audited
financial statements for Fiscal Year 1990-91. This attests to the good financial
practices at the college, and it is a positive factor to be considered when the
college issues bonds.
Preliminary action has been initiated with the State Treasurer's staff and
bond attorneys to develop information required in the event the college
determines that it will fund at least a portion of the cost of the anticipated
barracks renovation project by the issue of Revenue Bonds. Such an issue would
most likely involve the largest single bond issue in the college's history and
would require very detailed documentation of the college's financial viability

�and projected stream of barracks fees revenue to support the debt service
payments required.
The Citadel continues to benefit from its designation as a Service
Educational Activity (SEA) by the Department of Defense.
This designation
permits the college to gain priority access to Department of Defense surplus
property at minimal cost to the college. The Citadel obtained property valued
at more than $153,000 this fiscal year to include heavy equipment, general
maintenance supplies, and other equipment.
The Gift Shop store sales have been exceptional considering the economic
conditions for FY 1991-92. As of year end, store receipts totaled $1,341,857,
an increase over last year of $97,800. The first year of a vending services
contract with WOMETCO has been profitable for the college.
More than the
guaranteed commissions are expected due to the increased sales for snack food
machines. Negotiations with the contractor to ensure continued improvement in
the volume of canned drink sales are in progress. Plans are being finalized for
a new snack bar and fountain service facility. When completed, the new facility
will be located in the area which previously housed the bowling alley. This will
allow expansion of the . Gift Shop and will provide additional space for
merchandise display and employee work areas. An in-depth study and review of
both the Cadet Store and the Gift Shop services for the feasibility to contract
such services has been ongoing this fiscal year.
The recommendations of an
independent committee of faculty and staff members were due to the President
early in FY 1992-93.
The Dining Services accomplished its move from Coward Hall to the new Cadet
Dining Facility on 17 August. The first meal, lunch, was served on 18 August to
the incoming band members of the Class of 1995. Family style meals were served
to approximately 2,000 cadets during the school year, and approximately 400
campers enrolled in the Summer Camp for Boys program.
School Year 1991-92 was a year of quality performance by the Corps of
Cadets.
The mature leadership of the Regimental Commander, his staff and
subordinate commanders contributed immeasurably to smooth operations. Objectives
were established and actions taken to enforce them, as a result of the Cadet
Commanders' Retreat at the St. Christopher Conference Center on Seabrook Island
this past August. The Cadre's professional, no-nonsense approach to their duties
resulted in continued improvement in personal appearance, mess hall procedures,
drill and ceremonies, and physical training, as well as overall academic
performance.
At mid- term, first semester, the freshman GPA was 1. 6 7.
The
following actions were taken for all cadets below a 2.0 GPA: A Cadet Academic
SOP was published which included Supplementary Study Period (SSP) mandatory from1400-1800 on Sunday; Cadet Commanders enforced ESP, used totors and other aids;
two weeks prior to finals, all cadet activities terminated to allow for focus on
studies. Freshmen grades improved to 2.12 GPA. Colonel Mayer worked with The
Citadel Writing Center to develop a program on Academic Excellence to help cadets
improve their study skills. Selected cadets attended classes in order to help
freshmen, and Colonel Mayer reinforced with Cadet Academic Officers, NCOs and
Corporals, his policy on quality study time for all cadets. The average GPA for
this School Year is 2.708 and for Freshmen 2.387. The Corps' performance and'
general morale were enhanced throughout the year by the performance of the
varsity athletic teams. We began the year with a total of 1978 (1356 upper class
and 622 fourth class) cadets assigned to the Corps. Beginning second semester,

�Corps strength was 1867 (1342 upper class and 525 fourth class). We lost a total
of 105 fourth classmen which compares favorably to previous years.
Although
major renovations remain in the future, the general status of the barracks has
improved since 1989 as a result of General Watts' renovation of Barracks #4, to
include the painting and renovation of furniture. Also, rooms and furniture in
Barracks Nos. 2 and 3 have been repaired and painted. Initiatives currently
underway are painting and repair of furniture in Barracks #l. Issue of cleaning
materials to all companies has improved the appearance and cleanliness of
furniture in all barracks. Peer evaluations were accomplished by classmates, in
rank order, using the following criteria: . Demonstrated Leadership, Military
Bearing, Acceptance of Responsibility, Communications Skills, Decisiveness,
Judgment, Physical Conditioning, Initiative, and Team Player. Evaluations were
combined into one Order of Merit List (OML), and these class OMLs were used for
rank selection and selection for rank boards.
Each cadet knows, in writing,
where he stands in his company OML."
This year saw the successful completion of the Inaugural Campaign. Over
$1 million was received in gifts and pledges and those funds, in conjunction with
funds from other sources, enabled the college to retire its debt.
Several new programs were implemented in the second half of the year,
including an Annual Fund appeal to graduate and evening college alumni, a
Parent's Fund, and an increased emphasis on corporate and foundation fund
raising. In addition, fund raising efforts to support the Sesquicentennial were
begun.
The Citadel was listed for the fourth consecutive year by U. S. News and
World Report as one of "America's Best Colleges".
The rating, ninth among
Southern Regional Colleges and Universities, as listed in the 1992 annual college
edition, published 30 September 1991, contributed to a positive year for the
college from an aspect of public relations.
National and international attention was focused on the college during the
year when The Citadel Band and Pipe Band represented the United States of America
in Scotland at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo during the month of August.
The most significant piece of legislation regarding The Citadel that
surfaced in the 1992 General Assembly was a vote in the House Education Committee
regarding House Bill 3150, which, if passed, would call for admission of women
into the Corps of Cadets. The Bill was defeated, in Committee, on 4 February by
a vote of fourteen to one.
Thirty-nine companies with 68 interview schedules recruited on campus
resulting in 616 individual interviews.
Efforts are ongoing to attract
additional companies to participate in on-campus recruiting at The Citadel.
Crime on campus continues to decrease. 13,500 building inspections were
conducted. Energy conservation measures were items of special interest during
these inspections.
All officers are up to date with mandatory state
certification and "Core Course" training.
The Internal Auditor completed reviews of the Summer Camp for Boys,

�SYNOPSIS OF THE HISTORY OF THE CITADEL
The Citadel, The Military College o-f 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 Vesey 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.

Academic Leadership

The 1991-92 academic year began with new leadership in six of
the fourteen academic departments, the Library, and in the three
ROTC departments. Four of new academic department heads and that of
the Director of the Library were selected from within The Citadel
family.
During the academic year, Maj or O. Robert Emory was
selected as Head of the Modern Languages Department for a five-year
term and will replace LTC Frank D. Frohlich, acting head for the
past two years. LTC Frohlich will return to full-time teaching.
With the retirement of Colonel Charles F. Jumper, Major James
Randall Blanton will assume the position as Acting Head, Department
of Chemistry, for a two-year term effective with the 1992 Fall
Semester.
Colonel D. Oliver Bowman, Professor of Psychology and Director
of the Counseling Center, was appointed as the first recipient of
the Arland D. Williams Endowed Professorship in Psychology for a
five-year term. This position, endowed in the memory of Arland D.
Williams, Jr. (Citadel, 1957), commemorates his courage and heroism,
reflecting the ideals of The Citadel tradition.
Major Peter A. Mailloux, Associate Professor of English, will
chair the Faculty Council for the academic year 1992-93, replacing
Major Linda K. Elksnin.

B. Biology
The Department of Biology offers an undergraduate major leading
to the degree of Bachelor of Science. The program provides a strong
background of required core courses and the flexibility of free
electives to allow the student to pursue a broad education in the
liberal arts and sciences. The number of majors increased over the
past year to approximately 160, due to a large freshman class.
Twenty five Biology majors graduated, and eight have been accepted
into various graduate and professional programs.
The Department
also offers a masters degree in conjunction with the Department of
Education. Eleven Biology majors were enrolled in graduate courses
in the Fall semester and thirty-five in the Spring semester.
Colonel Gerald Runey completed his term as Acting Department
Head in August 1991, when Lieutenant Colonel Philippe Ross began his
20

�term as Department Head. Colonel Robert Baldwin was on sabbatical
leave for the entire year, and Dr. T. Chet Johns was engaged as an
adjunct professor for the year. Dr. Alix Darden was appointed as an
adjunct professor for the Spring 1992 semester.
Biology faculty were active professionally this past year.
Lieutenant Colonel T. Clark Bowman continued to develop an
innovative graduate course exercise to improve the level of
experimental content in the teaching of Biology in area high
schools.
Colonel Dennis Forsyth~ had two articles and two book
reviews published in peer-reviewed journals. He also published a
technical report and presented two papers at scientific meetings.
Colonel Forsythe received two research grants from the U. S.
Department of the Interior, led two ornithological expeditions, and
served as a consultant to industry on three environmentally related
projects.
Lieutenant Colonel B. Joseph Kelley served as Principal
Investigator on a Sea Grant research project on environmental
effects of pipeline excavation, and presented preliminary results at
the annual South Carolina Sea Grant Workshop.
Colonel Richard Porcher presented two scientific lectures to
outside groups and published a technical report on the post-Hugo
recovery of Francis Marion National Forest. He completed work on a
major book, Wildflowers of the South Carolina Lowcountry, which will
be published by the University of South Carolina Press.
Colonel
Porcher led ecological tours for numerous citizen groups, served as
a consultant on several environmental projects, and received two new
federal research grants. He was also appointed to the Scientific
Advisory Board for the South Carolina Nature Conservancy.
Lieutenant Colonel Philippe Ross published three scientific
articles, one technical report and a book chapter.
He presented
twelve papers at scientific meetings, gave eight invited seminars at
academic and government institutions, and chaired a session on metal
toxicity at the Fifth International Symposium on Toxicity Assessment
in Kurashiki, Japan. Colonel Ross served as Principal Investigator
on two ongoing federal research grants and received a new grant from
the Microbics Corporation.
He continued to serve as Senior
Scientific Advisor to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's
Great Lakes National Program Office, and was named to the editorial
board of Lewis Publishers and of the Journal of Aquatic Ecosystem
Health. He was elected Secretary of the Aquatic Ecosystem Health
and Management Society, and was appointed to the Technical Advisory
Committee of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's
Coastal Oceans Program.
Colonel Gerald Runey continued his research on gametogenesis in
nematode worms, served as campus wide pre-med coordinator, and
continued his role as Faculty Athletic Representative to the
National Collegiate Athletic Association and the
Southern
Conference. Lieutenant Colonel Frank Seabury participated in three
workshops related to the use of computer technology in education.
Colonel F. Lance Wallace presented a paper at the national meeting
of the American Mosquito Control Association. He received research
grants from the Citadel Development Foundation (CDF) and the
University of South Carolina's International Center for Public
Health Research. Colonel Wallace continues to serve as Curator of
the Dominick Moth and Butterfly Collection.
Under his tutelage,
21

�Cadet Paul Syribeys presented an award-winning paper at the national
meeting of Beta Beta Beta, the Biology honor society.
The Department of Biology, through CDF grant support and in
conjunction with the BioCid Club, sponsored three guest seminar
speakers, David Fearnside (Yorkshire Water Authority), Dr. Dabney
Johnson (Wistar Institute), and Dr. Robert Sabalis (University of
South Carolina). In addition to the seminar series, The Citadel's
Tau Nu Chapter of Beta Beta Beta sponsored numerous on-campus and
off-campus activities such as cookouts, science fair judging, blood
drives, charity Christmas displays, 'and volunteer health programs.
Tau Nu was chosen as the outstanding chapter in the Southeastern
Region for the fourth consecutive year, and Rex Skanchy was chosen
as the outstanding chapt~r advisor, also for the fourth consecutive
year.
Cadet John Wolfe was elected as Southeastern Region Vice
President.
A delegation of four represented the chapter at the
biennial national convention in Madison, NJ. Tau Nu was once again
named as one of the top three chapters in the country, and Cadet
Paul Syribeys was runner-up in the outstanding student paper
competition.
At the May 1992 Commencement exercises,
Rex Skanchy's
outstanding service and dedication to student activities were
recognized by the conferring of the 1992 Algernon Sydney Sullivan
Award.
The students and faculty of the Department of Biology are
deeply grateful to Mr. Skanchy and to Department Administrative
Specialist Ms . Beverly Powell for their tireless efforts and
compassionate assistance throughout the past year.

C.

Business Administration

Business Administration continues to be the most popular
undergraduate major at The Citadel. This past May, 136 seniors (or
about 34% of the graduating class) received their Bachelor of
Science in Business Administration degree.
For the first time in
many years, the number of entering freshmen choosing business as a
major declined slightly to about 25%, down from our usual 30%. This
slight decline mirrors a trend which business programs across the
nation have observed recently.
After years of anticipation, the Bond Hall Renovation project
finally got underway last June.
Since that time, we have been
operating under difficult physical conditions.
Twelve of our
faculty members have been assigned temporary offices in the Kovats
Field Trailer complex behind Bond Hall. The Departmental Offices,
housing the Department Head, the MBA Director, and our two
Administrative Assistants, was moved to 357 Bond Hall in the back
wing of what's left of the old building. We have adjusted to life
without an elevator or any nearby rest room facilities!
The
original projected completion date of December, 1992 has now been
adjusted as a result of the first contractor's going bankrupt.
After some delay, work is now underway again, and we are told that
our new facilities may be ready in April, 1993.
The business faculty was extremely active this year in the areas
of faculty development and scholarship.
Several faculty members
(too many to mention in this brief report) received Citadel
22

�Development Foundation (CDF) research grants, and many also received
CDF Faculty Development Awards. The work of our faculty appeared in
many different public forums through the publications of papers and
articles in a wide variety of scholarly publications.
The Department has recently applied for official status as a
Candidate for Accreditation from the American Assembly of Collegiate
Schools of Business (AACSB).
The AACSB, the nation' s primary
accreditation agency for business programs, has recently completed
an extensive revision of their enti.re accreditation process, and one
result is that it should now be possible for departments of Business
Administration in smaller schools such as The Citadel to receive
AACSB accreditation. [The current number of accredited departments
of Business Administration, as opposed to schools or colleges of
business, is zero.]
We hope to be among the very first business
departments in the country to be considered for AACSB accreditation.
Accreditation is a long, complex process, and our current goal is
to receive AACSB accreditation by the end of the Spring, 1996
semester.
Several department faculty members have been actively involved
in numerous projects of The Citadel's Center for International and
Regional Development this year. The Center's Director is Lt. Col.
George S. Vozikis, Professor and Alvah Chapman Chairholder in
Business Administration, and the Associate Director is business
professor Maj. Thomas I. Kindel. Among the major projects of the
Center this year were: hosting the first Canada/South Carolina Trade
Conference in Charleston last January, producing a Military Economic
Impact Study in conjunction with the Trident Chamber of Commerce,
publishing the Proceedings of the 1991 Conference of the Association
of Global Business, establishing a monthly survey of local
purchasing managers to help monitor the local economy, and forming
a partnership with the Berkeley/Charleston/Dorchester Council of
Governments to carry out research connected with their strategic
plan for the tri-county area.
Professor J. J. Mahoney concluded a distinguished teaching
career of more than thirty years at The Citadel with his retirement
this summer. In the area of Accounting, Dr. John P. Snyder resigned
at the end of the spring semester; we were fortunate, however, to be
able to hire Ms. Sheila Foster-Stinnett (who will join us in August)
and Ms. Janette Moody (who will join us next January), both of whom
will complete their Ph.D. degrees by the end of this year. Lt. Col.
Dorothy P. Moore was awarded a sabbatical for the 1992-1993 school
year, and Maj. Donald L. Sparks was awarded a sabbatical for the
Spring, 1993 semester.
Cpt. W. William Woolsey was promoted to
Associate Professor and Maj or, effective August, 1992, and Cpt.
William Sharbrough was promoted to Major.

D. Chemistry

Although the number of students majoring
23

in chemistry has

�declined nationwide in recent years, the enrollment in this
department has stabilized in the 20-25 range.
There were seven
students who graduated during the year, leaving thirteen continuing
upperclassmen. Of those graduating, two entered military service,
two accepted positions in industry, one entered government service,
and one accepted a position as a law clerk.
Several members of . the faculty continue to be active in
research. The department received two CDF Research grants and a CDF
Faculty Development grant, as well as a research grant from the SC
Sea Grant Consortium. The faculty presented a total of six papers
at professional meetings during the year.
During the year, CPT J.R. Blanton was approved for tenure and
promotion to Associate Professor, effective with the beginning of
the fall semester.
The department continues to make progress in developing the
mandated assessment plan.
This year a plan was developed, and
implementation has begun. It is expected that preliminary results
will suggest ways in which the basic plan can be improved, and these
will be integrated into a revised plan.
Because of the major construction work taking place in Bond
Hall, and the resulting displacement of classes and faculty offices,
Byrd Hall has been called upon to relieve much of the need for
classroom and office space. The result is an enormous increase in
the use of this building.
Every classroom is being used almost
every hour of the working day, and the normal "wear-and-tear" on the
facilities has increased dramatically. It is clear that some major
renovation will be needed in the near future.
Some significant changes in the faculty will occur during the
next academic year.
COL Charles F. Jumper, who has been on the
faculty for thirty years, and who has been Department Head for ten
years, will retire on 30 June 1992.
Effective 1 July, CPT J .R .
. Blanton will be appointed Acting Department Head.
COL Jumper's
faculty slot in Physical Chemistry will be filled by Dr. Lisa Zuraw,
who will join the faculty as Assistant Professor.
The problem of staffing has become a worrisome one.
For the
past two years we have had the services of a full-time adjunct
professor; and, if estimates of the size of the entering freshman
class prove accurate, we shall need one for the 1992-93 academic
year.
Approval for hiring an adjunct professor, however, has has
not been given, and probably will not until near registration time.
A person will have to be located on very short notice, and this is
likely to prove difficult.
Overall, the department is strong and well able to make its
contribution to the mission of the college.
It has a strong
curriculum, a dedicated faculty, and the BS program continues to be
approved by the American Chemical Society.
It seems in good
condition, therefore, to move forward confidently to face the

24

�problems of the future.

E.

Civil Engineering

The Civil Engineering program was granted full accreditation by
the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
One hundred and fifty-four students were enrolled in the Civil
Engineering day program during the 1991-92 academic year.
This
included 59 freshmen.
Following national trends, these enrollment
levels remain somewhat reduced from the average level of the past
ten years. Nineteen seniors graduated in May 1992. An additional
senior is expected to graduate in August 1992.
The evening engineering program has continued to develop with
excellent progress.
In November 1991, a full time program
coordinator, Mr. Frank S. Bryant, was hired and a more aggressive
community education and recruitment effort started. This effort has
included presentations to industry and business, participation in
career fairs, mailing of flyers announcing upcoming courses and
development and distribution of a brochure describing the program.
Students are being taught at the senior as well as all lower levels .
The first students to complete the program should graduate in May
1993.
Last year a cooperative program with Trident Technical
College was
established that permits
Citadel undergraduate
engineering students to complete their first two years of study at
Trident before transferring to The Citadel . More than 125 students
have already enrolled in the new program. These students will begin
to attend classes at The Citadel in Fall 1993.
Based upon the
success of this program and demonstrated community needs, an
agreement is being finalized to extend this "2+2" engineering
program to also include Horry-Georgetown Technical College, The
Technical College of the Lowcountry,
and Orangeburg-Calhoun
Technical College.
The agreement is to effectively extend
reasonable opportunity to achieve an undergraduate engineering
education throughout the coastal region of South Carolina. It also
forms an educational coalition entitled "The Lowcountry Coalition
for Engineering Education Development" which shall be referred to by
the acronym "LCEED." These students would begin to attend The
Citadel during Fall 1994.
The Civil Engineering department is also leading Engineering
2000, a community-integrated assessment of the engineering and
engineering-related education requirements of the Lowcountry. The
objective is to produce an educational blueprint that would ensure
the
proper preparation of
today's
student
for
tomorrow's
opportunities, the enrichment of the existing engineering-related
work force, and the enhanced attractiveness of the Lowcountry and
state as a technology-based workshop. Future academic and
professional development program initiatives will be developed
considering the results of Engineering 2000.
There were no changes in permanent party faculty. Major Dennis
Because of continued shortfalls in state
funding, the Colonel Louis S. LeTellier Distinguished Professor of

J. Fallon was tenured.

25

�Civil Engineering Chair remained unfilled. Available GDF funds were
used to appoint Dr. Harry C. Saxe, an earlier chair holder, as a
visiting professor for the academtc year .
Civil engineering
faculty members continued to support the Clemson Graduate Civil
Engineering Program at The Citadel.
Maj or Dennis J. Fallon and
Captain John A. Murden taught graduate evening engineering courses.
The faculty continued- to be active in professional development.
Colonel Lindbergh continued his work in national as well as state
mitigation of natural hazards (wind ;· flood and earthquake) through
improved building standards, technology and practice. These actions
included participation in many national and state technical
conferences and groups.
He was awarded the 1992 Technical Merit
Award by the American Society of Civil Engineers, South Carolina
Section.
Major Thomas R. Dion worked to finalize a textbook
manuscript for publication by the McGraw-Hill publishing company.
Majors Kenneth P. Brannan, Russell H. Stout, and Dennis J. Fallon
continued to serve the American Society of Engineering Education,
Southeastern Section, in important leadership offices and through
the development of several publications.
Major Michael H. Woo
consulted in an important coastal engineering projects.
Colonel
Thomas J. Anessi served as Faculty Advisor to the student ASCE
chapter.
Captain John A. Murden served as an academic advisor to
one of the cadet companies, presented a technical paper at an ASCE
conference and consulted.
The student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers
completed a particularly successful and active year.
Monthly
meetings with guest speakers and other activities were conducted.
The chapter won a national ASCE commendation award.
Even more
significantly, the student chapter hosted the 1992 Carolinas
Conference, an annual meeting of all ASCE student chapters
throughout West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Approximately 250 students and faculty members participated in
technical paper, design, balsa wood bridge, steel bridge and
concrete canoe contests.
The conference was outstanding, much to
· the credit of student loyalty, leadership, capability, commitment,
and resourcefulness.
Two "Greater Issues in Civil Engineering" seminars were also
conducted. One seminar entitled "Geosynthetic and Drainage Products
for Civil Engineering Applications" was presented on 6 November 1991
by Mr. David L. Butchart and Mr. Scott Vollmer of Cont.e ch
Construction Products, Inc.
The other seminar was entitled "Deep
and Shallow Foundations, Sheet Pile Walls, Slurry Trenches, and
Special Problems." It was presented in April 1992 by Mr. Thomas J.
Wysockey, President, Thatcher Engineering Corporation.

Education

Programs in teacher education have continued to attract a
substantial enrollment, particularly at the graduate level. During
this academic year enrollment in all teacher education graduate

26

�programs have experienced modest growth. In Fall 1991, head count
enrollment of 1279 students equalled the previous year.
Spring
1992, saw an increase of 21% in graduate enrollment to 1166. Summer
1992 with an enrollment of 1155, appears to have an increase of
approximately 7%.
These figures are quite satisfactory to the
teacher education unit given the relatively high enrollment figures
of previous years. Growth is at least one measure of the quality of
programs. The "market place" has indicated a Citadel education at
the graduate level is to be prized.
The Department of Education
takes pride in this achievement.
Enrollment at the undergraduate
level has also increased during this year.
Cadet enrollment for
Fall 1992 will be approximately 70 students.
This represents a
substantial increase from the enrollment of 52 reported last year.
Students in teacher education are required because of state
certification and state approval standards to complete examinations
at the beginning of some programs, Education Entrance Examination
for
initial
certification programs,
and
National
Teachers
Examination at the conclusion of other programs which certify in
South Carolina.
Citadel students have done well on these
examinations.
Typically for the Education Entrance Examination
approximately 90% of our students pass this test at the inception of
their programs.
National Teachers Examination pass rates vary
somewhat from program to program but in excess of 90% meet the state
standard for these examinations. The Assessment of Performance in
Teaching and seeking to acquire an initial teaching certificate in
South Carolina.
More than 95% of our students reach the state
standard on this criterion for certification.
The Department has lost one faculty member this year through
retirement.
Major W. R. Williams who had been with us fourteen
years retired effective 30 June 1992.
The Department has been
fortunate to add three new faculty for 1992-93. Dr. John A. Brown
will join the faculty as an associate professor specializing in
courses in education and administration. Dr. Wemme Walls will be an
assistant professor teaching courses in special education to the
cadet program to assist learning disabled students.
Dr. Kenneth
Miller will be an assistant professor teaching courses in
counseling. We are delighted with these additions to the faculty.
The program developed at Burke High School to prepare, through
a special program, at risk high school youngsters for college and
employment continues to prosper.
The publicity from this highly
successful and innovative program continues to be pos{tive.
This
outreach program of The Citadel's teacher education unit is a
exemplar of how colleges can work with public schools in order to
make a difference in the quality of educational opportunity.
Ms.
Carol Byrnes is continuing to work with this program quite
successfully. Funding for this program presently comes from a grant
from the Jesse Ball DuPont Foundation.
Outside funding for this
program terminates in November 1992.
The Department is proud of its achievements, however, we believe
that improvement and modification of programs is essential to the
27

�long term heal th and vigor of the Department.
Because of this
belief curriculum is under continuing review within the Department.
Requirements in our graduate programs in counseling and curriculum
and instruction have been modified for the 1992-93 school year.
These revisions are based on the demands of the work place, research
in the field, and with the input of faculty and students.
We
believe this process of constant attention to quality and
effectiveness is essential.
The coming year 1992-93, will be an important year for the
teacher education unit at The Citadel.
Our programs will be
reviewed this year by the State Department of Education. Successful
completion of this review process is essential to the existence of
teacher education on The Citadel campus. We look forward to a good
review in February 1993.
Quality is the watch word of the Department of Education.
In
order to maintain it and to enhance it, the Department has been
active in curriculum revision, professional and scholarly activity,
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 1992-93.

Electrical Engineering

In August 1991, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology (ABET) notified The College that the Electrical
Engineering day program was reaccredited.
One hundred and twelve day students majored in electrical
engineering this year.
There were ten cadets and two veteran
students who graduated in May 1992: seven students are employed in
engineering career positions; three cadets were commissioned into
the Air Force; one in the Army; and one in the Navy.
This year's active enrollment in The Citadel's Evening College
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program was fifty two.
Continued growth of this program is anticipated based on the formal
two-plus-two program agreement between The Citadel and Trident
Technical College; the active recruiting efforts of Mr. Frank
Bryant, the Evening Engineering Program Coordinator; and numerous
inquiries about the evening engineering program. The first five
graduates of the evening engineering program, including the first
two female engineering graduates, received their degrees in
electrical engineering in May 1992. A sixth evening electrical
engineering student will receive his degree in August 1992.
Under the direction of Professors Larry Dunlop and Jack Stinson
four senior electrical engineering students designed and built the
Parade of Boats' Light Display for the Mariah.
The display won
first place in the commercial category in Charleston's 1991 Parade
of Boats.
Professor Dunlop also organized the second annual
28

�Electrical Engineering Design Symposium. Senior students presented
their senior design projects at the Symposium. Their papers were
published in the Symposium's Proceedings.
Senior Electrical Engineering Cadets Carl Best and Stephen
Lesley won first place in the Student Paper contest at the state
wide Engineering and Management '92 Conference held at the
University of South Carolina. Their paper was entitled "A Wireless
Data Communication Networking Device".
Assistant Professor Joe Epple, Faculty Advisor to The Citadel's
IEEE Student Branch, and seven electrical engineering students
attended IEEE Southeastcon '92 in Birmingham, Alabama.
For the sixth 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 Professor Harold
W. Askins, Jr., to the Modern Power Systems Analysis course
sponsored annually by the Southeastern Electric Exchange at Auburn
University.
Grimsley Hall, the new Electrical Engineering and Physics
Building was dedicated in November 1991; and The Graham Copeland
Auditorium in Grimsley Hall was dedicated in April 1992.
These
educational facilities provide an excellent learning environment for
our students, and have contributed significantly to the capabilities
of the departments to offer quality programs.
In February 1992 the Civil and Electrical Engineering
Departments and the local Engineering Societies held an open house
in Grimsley Hall during National Engineers Week to provide
information about the engineering profession to prospective students
and the general public.
The faculty continues to build a record of scholarly and
professional achievement. Assistant Professor Albert Kunze was a
consultant for Battelle this year in addition to taking several
graduate courses at MUSC. Assistant Professor Bruce Evans presented
a paper entitled "State Variable Simulation of a Transmission Line
Including Mutual Coupling for Spacecraft Power System Simulations"
at the 24th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory. · Assistant
Professor Epple successfully completed both the written and oral
portions of his Ph.D. qualifying examination at the Georgia
Institute of Technology. The examination included the presentation
of his paper, "Electromagnetic Radome Analysis Techniques".
Assistant Professor Tamal Bose designed, developed, and taught a
Digital Signal Processing course and associated laboratory.
The
laboratory, which is housed in Grimsley Hall, capabilities include
speech and image processing. The laboratory was equipped through a
$24,677 NSF matching funds grant under the Instrumentation and
Laboratory Improvement Program.
In addition, Professor Bose

29

�continues to present and publish papers in highly respected IEEE
Conferences, Proceedings and Transactions. He was selected as an
Associated Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing.
Associate Professor Lawrence Dunlop and Assistant Professor Tamal
Bose attended the American Society of Engineering Education
Southeastern Regional Meeting and each presented a paper. Associate
Professor Jack Stinson has return from his sabbatical at the South
Carolina Research Authority. He continues to be actively involved
in projects associated with the development and implementation of
product data exchange specification standards.
Professor 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 non-ionizing 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 serving as a reviewer for the IEEE Control Systems
Magazine.
Professor Harold W. Askins, Jr. chaired the 1991-92
meeting of the Southeast Association of Electrical Engineering
Department Heads (SAEEDH) in Atlanta, Ga., November 7-8, 1991. He
also continued 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 was
again invited to be one of the principal lecturers in the Modern
Power Systems Analysis course at Auburn University, and he continues
to serve as a reviewer for the Applied Computational Electromagnetic
Society, ACES. Professor Askins was listed in the Eighth Edition of
Who's Who in Engineering, published by the American Association of
Engineering Societies.
Professor Emeritus James F. Scoggin
continues to help the department through his loyal support and
guidance 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.
The Electrical Engineering faculty continues to be in
transition. Mr. Bruce W. Evans, who is completing his doctorate at
Auburn University, joined our faculty in the fall of 1991.
Assistant Professor Evans' area of specialization is electric power
systems and his Ph.D. research involves the study of spacecraft
power systems. Assistant Professor Joe Epple will return to Georgia
Institute of Technology for the 1992-1993 academic year to continue
work on his dissertation. Unfortunately Assistant Professor Tamal
Bose has resigned to take a position as an Assistant Professor of
Electrical Engineering at the University of Colorado, Denver. His
reasons for leaving were a higher salary and more research
opportunities.

H.

English

Changes in the Faculty:
Dr. David G. Allen's promotion to
Professor and Lieutenant Colonel will become effective in August of
1992, as will Dr. Margaret M. Lally' s promotion to Associate
Professor and Major. Dr. Lally will also be awarded tenure at that
30

�time. The college has awarded Professor Philip W. Leon sabbatical
leave for AY 1992-93.
And in August, Thomas C. Thompson, whose
academic specialty is composition and rhetoric, will be joining the
faculty of the English Department as Assistant Professor and
Captain. He will fill the vacancy created by the retirement of LTC
H. B. Alexander in May of 1991.
Faculty Scholarship: Collectively this year, the faculty of the
English Department, who are among the most active scholars on
campus, published three books, one chapter in a book, seven articles
in scholarly journals, and several book reviews. They edited three
scholarly periodicals, wrote and presented fourteen papers, refereed
ten articles by faculty from other institutions, and attended
thirteen conferences.
In addition, they wrote at least seven
articles which have been accepted for future publication.
The
scholarship of six professors was supported by grants from the
Citadel Development Foundation.
Faculty Leadership Within the College: This year three members
of the English Department served as chairs of standing college
committees, and five members were appointed to critical positions
with the Self-Study, including the General Chair and the Editor.
Other members of the department serve as advisors to the Inn of
Court, the Summerall Guards, the Shako, the Brigadier, campus
religious groups, and to one or two of the cadet companies. The
President and the Vice President of the Citadel Chapter of the
American Association of University Professors are also members of
the English Department.
Service to the Community:
Thanks to the generosity of a CDF
grant, the English Department this year brought to the campus two
engaging guest speakers, not only for faculty and students, but also
for the general public. Jeffrey Meyers, an internationally known
scholar, spoke on Edgar A. Poe, and Frederick Morgan, a poet and the
editor of The Hudson Review, read and discussed some of his poetry
and presented a lecture in an undergraduate class.
Both of the
speakers addressed crowds of about one hundred people. In addition,
individual members of the department served the public in many other
ways, including judging public speaking contests and both national
and local poetry contests; presenting lectures at public libraries
around the state and locally at the Preservation Society and Gibbes
Art Gallery; conducting workshops and seminars to prepare students
to take various professional examinations (LSAT and GMAT); meeting
with local high school teachers; and serving on advisory boards.
Undergraduate English Majors: The number of English majors has
increased by six (to sixty-seven) since this time last year, but is
still well below the number in AY 88-89 (seventy-nine).
For the
first time this year, senior English majors took the national Major
Field Achievement Test in English. Cadet Sean Trundy, who also won
the Mikell Award for the highest GPA in English over three years,
made the highest score in the class (93rd percentile); and Cadet
James E. Fayssoux won the English Faculty Award for the best essay
by an undergraduate.
31

�Program Reviews: In September of 1991, the English Department
prepared for a formal program review by the South Carolina
Commission on Higher Education, . but the review, scheduled for
January 1992, was cancelled because of a budget shortfall. Also in
the fall semester, the department brought to virtual completion a
long, difficult task when it submitted to the college a detailed
document describing its three-year cycle of planning and assessment;
parts of the plan have been in effect for several years, but this
document describes it fully for the first time.
Currently the
department is preparing for the Coilege Self-Study required by the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
Status of the Proposal for a Joint Program Leading to the M.A.
in English:
The proposal by the Departments of English at The
Citadel and the College of Charleston for a joint program leading to
the M.A. in English was approved by the College of Charleston's
Board of Trustees in October 1991 and by The Citadel's Board of
Visitors in November 1991.
It was then submitted to the South
Carolina Commission on Higher Education.
The staff of the
Commission reviewed the proposal and returned extensive comments,
dated March 16, 1992, to the two colleges. With input from both
administrations, representatives of the two English Departments have
worked during the subsequent period to strengthen the application in
accordance with the CHE staff comments. As of early June 1992, the
revision process is nearly complete. The revised application will
be reviewed by the administrations of The Citadel and the College of
Charleston during the summer of 1992 and resubmitted to the
Commission on Higher Education by the official submission date of
September 1, 1992.
1992 Summer School Enrollment: Undergraduate enrollment for the
first session of summer school has experienced a sharp drop this
year. In 1989, 1990, and 1991, the number of students enrolled in ·
undergraduate English courses held steady at about 132 students.
This year, however, the total is only 79, a decrease of 40%. The
causes for this drop, which is reflected to some extent across the
college, are highly complex; at the request of the President, they
will soon be reviewed by a committee headed by the Dean of
Undergraduate Studies.
Budget:
The English Department began the year with a budget
which was 18% smaller than last year's beginning budget, and .was
then further reduced twice.
The annual expenditures ( excluding
salaries) totalled only $9,241, or 64% of the beginning budget for
FY 1990-91. All state-funded travel, except for recruiting new
faculty, and purchasing of new equipment were entirely eliminated.
I.

History

The Academic Year 1991-1992 commenced in the fall semester with
10 of the 13 regular members of the department present and teaching.
The 10 included David White and John Gordon, who were demobilized .
32

�after the Gulf War in time to return for the fall semester. John
Brittain continued on sick leave (since January, 1991), and I regret
to report that he died of cancer on 3 April 1992. By the time of
his death, he had served with distinction as a member of our faculty
for twenty-five years. Joseph Tripp went on sick leave for the fall
semester of 1991, and, for reasons of health, carried a half-load in
the spring 1992 semester.
Michael Barrett was on a year's
sabbatical. In the spring of 1992, Douglas Porch took a semester's
leave. Under these circumstances, the department's teaching
resources were stretched even thinner by having to offer four
graduate-level courses each semester in order to support the Joint
M.A. in History program, and one Honors section each semester. (The
number of students matriculating at The Citadel in the Joint M.A.
program has grown to thirty-six.) In order to meet the need for
replacement teachers in history, the department employed two fulltime temporaries (Steven White and Robert Stockton) and two parttime adjuncts (Lyon Tyler, Professor Emeritus, and James Larkin).
Another part-time adjunct (Dalton Brasington) was employed to teach
Geography in the spring semester for the second year in a row.
The class entering in the fall of 1991 contained 45 history
majors, or seven more than the previous year. A total of 32 seniors
majoring in history were graduated on 9 May 1992.
CAPT Jane Bishop received both tenure and promotion to Associate
Professor effective the fall semester of 1992. When it became known
that John Brittain would be unable to return, a search for his
replacement was commenced. The search drew 110 applications and the
choice finally fell on Katherine Jean Haldane, who received her
Ph.D. in History from the University of Virginia. She will join our
faculty as an Assistant Professor and is the second female faculty
member ever to join our department; as of the fall of 1992, she also
becomes our only untenured faculty member.
An important curriculum revision was taken when the department
voted in favor of transferring responsibility for the teaching of
Geography from the Department of History to the Department of
Chemistry, effective with the fall semester of 1992. This action
was taken because Geography is no longer a requirement of History
majors beginning with the class entering in fall 1991, and, in the
absence of John Brittain, the department had no regular member who
could teach it.
As Geology already rests with Chemistry, the
addition of Geography to its responsibilities seemed appropriate.
Geography will be taught for the last time in the Department of
History in the summer session of 1992.
Further progress has been made on the state-mandated assessment
program. For a third year in a row, graduating seniors have been
contacted and given questionnaires as to their opinion of the
History department's program and teaching competence, as well as
future career plans for the graduates. Less progress has been made
on a suitable evaluation program for Western Civilization (the core
curriculum subject) because of cost and other factors, and the task
for formulating a suitable program has been transferred to the

33

�department's Committee on Undergraduate Curriculum for work in the
fall semester.
The "budget crunch" imposed by the state last year intensified
in 1991-1992, and, without funds for travel and fewer funds for
other activities, less could be done in the way of travel to
professional meetings and publication than in former years by
members of the departm~nt.
Nevertheless, barring unexpected
developments, all but one regular member of the department (Porch,
who will be on a year's leave at the . Naval War College) are expected
to be available for teaching in the 1992-1993 school year, and, with
the decline of the use of temporaries and adjuncts, our office space
should be adequate.
Professor Gary Nichols of our department continued direction of
the Strategic Planning Program for the College, and the department
began preparing for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
(SACS) 10-year visit for accreditation in the 1992-1993 school year.
J.

Mathematics\Computer Science

Recognizing the ever increasing role of mathematics and computer
science in all disciplines, the department continued to offer a wide
variety of courses to meet the demands.
Service courses were
offered for the entire college in both mathematics and computer
science. In addition, the department offered two degree programs in
mathematics and one in computer science.
The number of majors in mathematics and computer science
remained about the same as the previous year, approximately 100.
The number of students receiving a Bachelor's degree in May was 21.
A few others will finish in August.
In conjunction with the department of Education, graduate
courses for middle and secondary mathematics teachers were offered
for students pursuing various degrees or recertification credit.
Professor Cleaver was awarded a grant to train secondary teachers
who anticipate teaching Advanced Placement Calculus in high school.
The department taught several courses funded by EIA and sponsored by
local school districts. Evening undergraduate courses were taught
for the evening engineering program.
As in the past, the Citadel Development Foundation enhanced the
department with grants to individuals and the department. Professor
Peter Greim continued as a CDF fellow while Professors Chen, Cohn,
Comer, Francel, Hurd, and Zahid all received CDF research grants.
Faculty development grants were received by Professors Chen,
Cleaver, Comer, Denig, Francel, Lipscomb, and Zahid. In addition,
several speakers came to The Citadel to speak to students and the
faculty. Funds were also provided to support a small conference on
the use of Spreadsheets which was organized and run by Professor
Comer.
34

�A special grant from CDF provided funds to purchase seventeen
state-of-the-art workstations to be used by faculty and students in
the computer science and mathematics programs.
These machines
operate in a UNIX environment and are networked to all other
machines on campus.
The laboratory of workstations is likely the
best in the low country.
As evidenced by the number of research and faculty development
grants mentioned above, the scholarly activity in the department
continued at a high level. Professor Greim gave lectures in Spain
and Professors Chen, Comer, Deutz, Francel, Hurd, and Trautman
presented papers at professional meetings.
Professors Comer and
Hoyle conducted a short course on the use of spreadsheets in
mathematics at the American Mathematical Society meeting in
Baltimore.
Professor Andre Deutz will return in

Modern Languages

The Department of Modern Languages continues on its progressive
road toward improved foreign language instruction with increased
emphasis on "proficiency based" instruction and more precise initial
placement of entering freshmen .
While the number of students enrolled in Core Foreign Language
courses remains relatively stable due to our "Foreign Language
Requirement," the enrollment in advanced courses continues to
increase as the number of majors increases: up to 65 over last
year's 45.
In addition, this fall ('92) we will institute a new
program of "minors" in French, German, and Spanish, which should add
materially to enrollments in advanced courses.
The department again experienced a rather dramatic turnover of
personnel.
Two additional permanent faculty were hired in the
Spanish section, while one was lost in the French section, Capt.
Rick Treece, who will be replaced temporarily by an adjunct in the
fall.
Thus, the department will consist of the following four
tenured faculty as the fall semester 1992: Lt. Col. 0. Robert Empry,
Head; Lt. Col. Frank D. Frohlich, Associate Professor; Lt. Col.
Grant B. Staley, Associate Professor; and Maj. Christopher R. McRae,
Associate Professor; four tenure-track faculty: Capt. Elba M.
Andrade, Assistant Professor; Capt. Albert E. Gurganus, Assistant
Professor; Capt. Mark P. Del Mastro, Assistant Professor; Capt. Juan
(Wangbai) Bahk, Assistant Professor; and three temporary adjunct
faculty: Dr. Ada A. Johnson, Mrs. Carol M. Young, and Mrs. Ann L.
Voit.
The scheduled CHE Program Review was postponed due to a lack of
funds but is rescheduled for the Spring of 1993, and we will also

35

�begin the required Self Study for SACS.
With the approval of the Summer Studies Abroad: German, the
department now offers a full slate of opportunities for all its
majors in this respect and hopes to augment and increase these
opportunities in the future.

accompanying Board of Visitors' Trophy and Plaque.
This was the
first time Lima Company has won in over 30 years.
Two new sports
were added to replace Gymnastics, they were Canoe Racing and
Croquet.
Both of the new sports were received with great
enthusiasm.
The Citadel sports Clubs were successful in presenting
opportunities for cadet participation and in representing the
college in 18 intercollegiate activities.
There were 325 cadets
involved in Sports Clubs during the school year. The Lacrosse Club
performed well under the coaching of Terry Gibson, 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.
The Pistol Club is coached by Dr. Joel Sexton.
Rugby, under the coaching of Ssgt Neil Schuehle, had their best year
ever, winning the State Championship, placing as Regional Runner-up
and posting a 20 and two record while being ranked in the top 15 in
the country. The Sailing Club Crew Club participated in a Regatta
in August that included teams from Europe and England and raced in
the Southern Intercollegiates in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The Taekwon
Do Club continued to grow in number and under the coaching of Fred
Weil won the first fours places in all division in the three
tournaments they entered. Boxing qualified two boxers, Jon McDaniel
and Artthony Barber, for the Nationals. These two boxers won bronze
medals in the rarefied air of Colorado.
The boxing club is
requesting to be host of the Eastern Regionals next year. The Judo
Club has grown under the able coaching of Ronald Charles, the third
highest ranking instructor in America.
The Judo Club entered two

Physics

The period covered in this annual report (1991-1992) marked the
inaugural year in which the Department of Physics began operation in
a new facility, having moved from Bond Hall to Grimsley Hall in June
of 1991. Considerable effort was spent during the summer of 1991
getting our program ready for classes in the fall.
Thousands of
pieces of equipment had to be stored and inventoried, laboratory
rooms had to be cleared and organized, and computers and computer
communications had to be installed.
The department took part in
both the dedication of Grimsley Hall in November and the dedication
of Copeland Auditorium in April.
During the summer the department learned that Dr. Silvio Zenone
would not be able to continue as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at
The Citadel. A telephone search led to the hiring of Dr. Ryan E.
Droste as temporary Assistant Professor to replace Professor Weiler
R. Hurren while Col. Hurren attended Brigham Young University during
his sabbatical leave.
In September our laboratory technician, Mr. Braxton Simmons,
retired after eight years of outstanding service to our department.
After a mandatory delay of four months, we hired a new laboratory
technician, Mr. William R. Holdren, who has turned out to be an
outstanding replacement.
Mrs. Nancy Sliwa continues to do an outstanding job as secretary
for the department.
She attended a seminar in the Spring called
"Beyond Secretary" to enhance her skills.
Each member of our department has been active in teaching,
research, and service during the past year.
Dr. Joel C. Berlinghieri, Professor of Physics, who took over as
Physics Department Head in June of 1991, submitted research papers
to Optics and Pho tonics and presented a paper at the San Jose
meeting of the Optical Society of America. He sponsored several
public school events within the department including a rocket
demonstration and shoot off with Buist Academy, and demonstrations
and laboratories for the Academic Magnet, and Garrett High. He also
participated in the evaluation of the science programs of Georgetown
College.
Dr. Weiler R. Hurren, Professor of Physics, received a
sabbatical leave to participate in research at Brigham Young
University. His research area is the study of Fullerines and has
already led to the presentation of one paper at the University of
Utah.
Dr. Saul J. Adelman, Professor of Physics, published a
significant number of research papers, received several research
grants, and attended national and international conferences during
this period. He continues to devote a major portion of his time to
research in astronomy.
38

�Dr. Peter J. Rembiesa, Associate Professor of Physics, was
promoted to Professor of Physics with the college rank of Lt. Col.
He has published major papers in the Physical Review and attended
national and international conferences. He has also been active in
the development of a departmental laboratory manual.
Dr. Patrick R. Briggs, Associate Professor of Physics, continues
his efforts in science education developing activities with middle
school teachers and the Governor's School. He also has been very
active in the development of a department laboratory manual.
Dr. Russell 0. Hilleke, Assistant Professor of Physics, has done
an outstanding job in the classroom having developed a close and
endearing relationship with our students.
He has been active in
optical and surface physics research and has been a major
contributor to the department laboratory manual.
Five students graduated with BS degrees in physics this May.
Two were commissioned in the services (Nuclear Navy Program and Air
Force), two were accepted in graduate school (University of
Tennessee and University of Georgia), and one accepted a job at the
Savannah River Laboratory as a research scientist.
N.

Political Science

The Department of Political Science has a faculty of nine full
time members; additionally, the John C. West Professor of Government
and International Affairs works closely with the Department and
normally teaches two courses per semester.
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, 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.
The Political Science Curriculum develops three alternative
areas of concentration: (A) American Government and Politics, (B)
International Politics and Military Affairs, and (C) Pre-Law and
Criminal
Justice.
The
curriculum
is
designed
to
make
sequential/developmental learning likely and seeks to avoid a random
smorgasbord approach. Serious attention is being given to "writing
39

�across the curriculum" and to improving our students' quantitative
and analytical skills.
During the current review year, the
department's proposal for a minor in Non-Western Studies was
approved and will be in effect with the 1992-1993 catalog.
The
minor is interdisciplinary and is designed to give students an
opportunity to concentrate a group of courses on either a region of
the world or a cross-regional theme (e.g., revolutionary movements)
related to the non-western world.
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, a delegation of students,
accompanied by Professor 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 1991-1992 students served
internships with several departments of the City of Charleston, the
City of Charleston Police Department, the City of North 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, Juvenile Restitution (a division of the
Department of Youth Services) , the U.S. Attorney's Office in
Charleston, 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 Professors Michael
Bonafield and Michael O'Connell taught special courses on Russian
Affairs and Prosecution and Defense respectively. Ambassador Joseph
Twinam developed a special seminar on Leadership for the Honors
Program during the spring semester.
The departmental faculty continued during 1990-1991 to be
extremely active within the profession.
Research papers have been
presented at the following scholarly meetings:
International Studies Association
Northeastern Political Science Association
Western Political Science Association
Southern Political Science Association
Far West Culture Association
Western Decision Sciences Institute
Southeast Decision Sciences Institute
U.S. State Department-George Washington University

40

�International Studies Center Conference
New York American Caribbeana Society Seminar
International Sociology Association
The department sponsored, under a grant from The Citadel Development
Foundation, the biennial Symposium on Southern Politics.
This
conference featured two days of panel presentations and discussions
by specialists in the field and offered students an opportunity to
attend a professional conference.
The Symposium has come to be
widely regarded by political scientists throughout the country as
the major conference in the nation ·devoted to research on southern
politics. In addition, two books and one extensive monograph were
published by members of the department.
The 1988 Presidential
Election in the South: Continuity Amidst Change in Southern Party
Politics edited by Professors Laurence W. Moreland, Robert P. Steed,
and Tod A. Baker was published by Praeger Publishers, and a book on
Namibia, coauthored by Professors December Green and Donald Sparks
(of the Business Administration Department), was published by
Westview Press.
Professor Gardel Feurtado' s monograph on the
military in Surinam was published by the Caribbeana Society.
Additionally, several articles and book chapters written by members
of the Political Science faculty were published.
All members of the department attended at least one professional
meeting and most were involved in presenting papers, serving as
discussants, and chairing panels, and many of the departmental
faculty were engaged in research related travel.
These scholarly
activities greatly enrich class presentations and maintain the
currency
of
the
faculty
in
their
respective
fields
of
specialization. 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 Non-Western Studies.
The Department of Political Science is sensitive to its role in
the community and continues to cooperate with various organizations
such as the Charleston County Library, Civic Clubs, and the Higher
Education Consortium 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.
The Department of Political Science is the second largest
department on campus. We recognize that because the department is
entrusted with the education of so many cadets, we have special
obligations to offer a quality program and to maintain high
standards both for the faculty and the students.
The level of
scholarly activity, the quality of leadership, the extensive work
done by various members of the department on college committees and
in the governance of the college, and the serious attention given to
improving teaching by our faculty reflect our collective commitment
to fulfill those obligations.

Admissions

The 1991 freshman class entered in August and had a geographic distribution
as large as the proceeding class.
There were 34 states represented and 39
counties from South Carolina.
Students from 8 foreign countries gave an
excellent diversity to the class. The academic credentials were strong with the
average SAT 973 and the average grade point ration was close to a 3.0.
The
incoming freshmen were ranked in the upper 1/3 of their class.
Admissions representatives traveled the states of North Carolina, Virginia,
Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. The professional staff attended conferences
and workshops that helped enhance the recruitment activities and computer
assisted functions that aided the admissions process.

The weekend and weekday visitation programs were exceptionally well
attended.
Efforts to orientate parents were encouraging and continued
improvements were planned.
52

�The director of admissions was involved in the state professional
organization Carolina Association of Registrars and Admissions Officers (CACRAO)
and coordinated state guidance counselor conferences. Other members of the staff
were involved in making presentations at high schools about preparing for
college.
There was an emphasis on minority recruiting.
The college was
represented in several regional and national minority college fairs.
The continued use of telemarketing and personal contact with accepted
applicants helped in the efforts to increase the yield from accept to
marticulant. The faculty, staff and cadets were all involved and proved to be
very helpful.
The CAPP organization (Cadet Alumni Procurement Program) was revitalized.
Although the 1991-92 school year was almost over when the organization began to
grow, its positive effect will be felt in the next several years. This is a
joint venture with the admissions and alumni office.
The cadet corps continued its vital assistance in recruiting activities.
They have proven to be a major factor in the positive feeling expressed by
visitors to the campus.

With the national economy in a recession, greater demands and requirements
for financial aid and scholarship assistance are being made at nearly all
institutions of higher education and The Citadel is no exception to this trend.
Federal and state programs are the backbone of this program.
In terms of
dollars, The Citadel has experienced a 23% ($857,425) increase in funding this
year from these various programs to meet the educational costs of students and
their parents at The Citadel. The Citadel has committed itself to this process
by increasing its funding of academic and financial need scholarships by 26%, or
$309,215. The Athletic Department contributed more than a million dollars to
athletic grants, which is an 11% increase. As an institution, The Citadel ranks
well above standard norms in terms of its own commitment as a participant in
funding education.
ROTC scholarship and assistance increased 4% in dollars but there was a
decline in the number of scholarships from the previous year by 27. This year
there are 125 ROTC scholarship recipients, whereas the year before there were
157. This situation is being vigorously addressed by The Citadel's new ROTC
enhancement program, which will enable The Citadel to be competitive with other
institutions who are aggressively pursuing these high quality students. This
enhancement program will provide four-year ROTC scholarship winners a stipend of
$2,500 a year which is intended to cover most room and board costs. Three year
ROTC scholarship winners will receive a waiver of their room fees for their
freshman year and when their scholarship becomes effective, they will receive the
$2,500 a year stipend.
The Citadel can initiate such a program due to the

53

�generosity of The Citadel Development Foundation.
Financial Aid

Federal financial aid has two basic facets: the first are grants of which
there are two programs, Pell and SEOG: and the second are self-help programs such
as the various loan programs and the College Work Study Program.
The Pell Grant provides grants ranging from $250 to $2,400 to needy
students. The Pell Grant Program is a barometer of economic need for families
with generally less than $30,000 of income per year. Three hundred and twentyeight (328) students received Pell Grants this year in comparison to 260 the year
before. SEOG (Supplemental Ed~cational Opportunity Grant) is given to the most
needy students.
This year, The Citadel awarded $38,807 to 58 students. The
Citadel Development Foundation provided the 10% institutional match required for
this program.
The Stafford Loan (formerly known as the Guaranteed Student Loan, or GSL)
program is the largest of all loan programs.
This past year, 514 Citadel
students received loans totaling $1,500,760 from this program. This is a 25%
increase over the previous year.
PLUS or Parent Loans were granted to 282
parents for support of their sons at The Citadel totaling $1,255,227, which was
a 19% increase over the previous year. The maximum amount that may be borrowed
by a parent is $4000 per academic year. When a parent is denied a Parent Loan,
the student may obtain a similar commercial loan called an SLS. This year, 55
students received SLS loans totaling $157,110 with the average loan being $2,856.
The funds available for Perkins Loans ($46,143) were based upon repayment of
loans by graduates to The Citadel.

For students who are studying in what the S. C. Department of Education has
classified as a critical subject area and/or who plan to teach in a geographic
needy area, the S.C. Teachers Loan Program (TLP) provides a loan which may be
canceled by the State at a rate of 30% for each year of teaching in the public
school system.

�Of all the students and parents applying for financial aid at The Citadel
the average AGI (Adjusted Gross Income) was $33,930 for 1990-1991.
This
reporting year the average AGI declined to $31,024.
T.

Scholarships

The Citadel's scholarship program is intended to award and recognize the
highest quality high school graduates.
These scholarships also serve as an
incentive for cadets already enrolled in the Corps to make the extra effort
needed to attain academic excellence and superior records of achievement.
Academic scholarships are awarded based on the quality of the student's academic
record, leadership, and other highly desirable attributes for members of the
Corps of Cadets. Each year, more than 25 full four-year academic scholarships,
which cover tuition, fees, room, board, uniforms, books and supplies, are awarded
to outstanding high school graduates. This reporting year yields a profile of
these students averaging more than 1,200 on their S.A.T. scores and ranking in
the upper 5% of their high school class.

Aid to Minority Students
Today, 90% of our African-American cadets, i.e. 130, at The Citadel receive
some form of financial aid and/er scholarship assistance. Thirty-five percent
(35%) of these cadets received academic and financial need based scholarships,
while Corps -wide the percentage is 24%.
The average financial aid and
scholarship award for this group was $5,371 per cadet.
Veteran Administration (VA) Benefits
The Financial Aid Office also certifies student eligibility for VA benefits.
These students include active duty, veterans, National Guard members, reservists,
as well as qualifying dependents of service veterans. For the 1991-1992 academic
year, approximately 183 students received benefits to attend The Citadel. The
range of benefits paid by the VA to these students is $175 to $650 per month.
Management

The Office has made significant progress in the administration of Financial
Aid.
The Fiscal Operations Report was filed electronically using system
generated data from the SIS programs this year. This report is The Citadel's
application for federal funds in the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant,
College Work Study, and Perkins Loan Programs. The efforts to automate reporting
requirements ultimately frees the professional staff for student counseling and
outreach programs. The Pell Grant Reporting process to apply for Pell funds has
also been automated using SIS system generated tapes. This allows a more timely
reporting of Pell expenditures, results in an increase in Federal Appropriations
and allows the college to receive its funds much more rapidly. Student budgets
have also been automated allowing faster processing of student files and awarding
of financial aid.
The Assistant Director has provided a tremendous amount of flexibility in
computerized reports generated from FOCUS routines. These reports are generated
in-house with the results impacting positively the ability to award restricted
scholarships, track different student populations and respond to donor requests
in a timely and accurate manner.
The student scholarship notices with donor
addresses have been automated and have relieved the staff of approximately eight
hours of manual processing of forms each week. This saved time is converted into
student contact benefitting The Citadel and its students.
The Office has increased access for graduate and evening students by
implementing a policy of aid eligibility for one-year while the student is taking
classes leading toward acceptance into a degree or certified program.
This
policy change has opened The Citadel's graduate programs to individuals who would
not be able to afford attendance while taking the prerequisites to be formally
accepted into a program. Students are able to borrow funds through the Stafford
Loan Program, which will lend up to $7,500 per year for graduate study. This
policy has increased the workload in both the Financial Aid and Graduate Offices

56

�which must certify each applicant as being in a program which leads to a degree
or approved certification.
Summary

The financial aid process has been enhanced this year with the addition of
a full-time director and expanded utilization of the SIS computer system. The
Citadel's students are receiving more aid from federal programs as well as
increased counseling from the professional staff. The economy has dictated the
increased importance of financing a college education through means other than
personal savings.
Financial aid and scholarships impact on recruiting and
student retention will increase as options for education are weighed more heavily
on the ability to pay.
This office has made strides to position itself to
provide increased access to federal programs and the professional staff for
counseling of students and parents. It is expected the office will continue to
have an increased role in The Citadel's future.

U.

Information Resources Management (IRM)

Thanks to Citadel Development Foundation (CDF) funding, The Citadel was able
to provide its students and faculty important new computing resources and
services in 1991-92. However, because of state budget cuts, the college was not
able to do much to improve administrative computing.
The biggest changes in academic computing during the past year occurred in
the area of networking. Major strides were made toward upgrading The Citadel's
campuswide local area network, now called Citnet. In addition The Citadel worked
with four other Charleston area colleges and the Charleston County Public Library
to develop a new metropolitan area network named Coastnet, and we became part of
the Internet, the largest international computing network.
Citnet
In 1990-91 The Citadel reached a major networking milestone by connecting
virtually all faculty and desk-based staff to the college's campuswide VAX
network. In 1991-92 IRM staff began restructuring this telephone-wiring-based
network to better support academic computing needs for the rest of this decade.
First, Capers Hall and Grimsley Hall were connected to Bond Hall by underground
fiber optic cables. These cables, the existing VAX network, and the Bond Hall
computer labs were then connected to a new high-speed campus network hub
installed in Bond Hall. The resulting network - Citnet - will allow students and
faculty to use many different types of computers around campus and around the
world.
One of the new types of computers Citadel students and faculty can now
access is a Digital Equipment Corporation UNIX RISC server located in Capers
Hall.
In addition to this server, nine DEC UNIX RISC workstations have been
installed in a newly remodeled lab located on the second floor of Capers Hall,
and seven more workstations have been installed in Math and Computer Science
faculty offices. All_ of these computers are connected to Citnet through high-

57

�speed links, and collectively, they form the most advanced and powerful academic
UNIX computing system in coastal South Carolina. This $170,000 GDF-funded system
will enable computer science faculty to better prepare students for jobs that
require a working knowledge of the UNIX ·operating system, database management
systems, and software d~velopment tools.
Another new Citnet resource now available to Citadel students and faculty
is a Novell 486 server. This system can be accessed from the Bond Hall labs as
well as from faculty offices in Bond, Capers, and Grimsley Halls. Novell server
users can run a variety of DOS applications that are not available elsewhere on
campus, and they can also print to several network laser printers - regardless
of whether they are using an IBM-compatible PC, an Apple Macintosh, or a UNIX
workstation.
Coastnet
During the past year The Citadel has worked closely with Charleston Southern
University, the Charleston County Public Library, the College of Charleston,
MUSC, and Trident Technical College to develop a Charleston metropolitan area
computer network called Coastnet.
The Charleston County Public Library, The
Citadel, the College of Charleston, and Trident Technical College are already
linked to this high-speed Ethernet network - and Charleston Southern University
and MUSC will be connected this fall. Coastnet enables computer users at member
organizations to communicate easily with each other through electronic mail and
to use each other's computer services - especially online library services. This
sharing of resources will not only provide students, faculty, staff, and library
patrons access to more services than any Coastnet member could provide by itself,
but by promoting cooperative cost sharing, it will also enable members to provide
services that none of them could afford individually.
Internet
Thanks to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and CDF, .
all Citadel students, faculty, and staff now have convenient access to the
Internet - the international computer network that links schools and colleges,
military and government agencies, and businesses and non-profit organizations.
Internet users can log into thousands of computers around the world as well as
send mail messages and transfer computer files to other Internet users.
Our
Internet connection also enables Citadel students, faculty, and staff to log in
to Citadel computers from other Internet computers throughout the world - without
having to pay long-distance telephone line charges.
Plans for 1992-93
During the coming year, IRM staff will continue to expand Citnet by
extending the campus fiber optic network to the Daniel Library and LeTellier
Hall, by connecting at least 100 cadet computers to Citnet, by connecting at
least 20 more faculty computers to the fiber optic portion of Citnet, by adding
a UNIX RISC server that will enable Business Administration students to use
Oracle's database management system, by making more library information (such as
reference books, periodical indices, magazines, and newspapers) readily available
58

�to Citnet users, and by using Citnet to transmit television programs to classrooms. In addition a new Grimsley Hall computer lab will be equipped with 20
IBM-compatible Pcs and Macintoshes, a new multimedia classroom will be completed
in Capers Hall, at least 20 faculty office computers will be upgraded, and about
20 Macintoshes will be installed in company clerks' barracks rooms. Again, most
of these projects will be funded by GDF.
V.

Daniel Library

The Daniel Library's major efforts this year included projects enhancing
communications, assessing resources and services, and increasing information
access.
Communications
In the rapidly changing technological environment, the library has mounted
a public relations campaign to facilitate campus communications.
Formats
utilized include posters, brochures, electronic messaging, and newsletter
articles.
In addition to scheduled bibliographic instruction classes, the
library faculty is expanding its information literacy education program by
offering daily, on-going classes on automated resources.
The library faculty liaison organization has been restructured to improve
collegial collection development through modified cluster contact. Other avenues
are specialized faculty workshops such as world-wide library access via Internet.
A first time cooperative project for senior cadets was well received; the
Placement Office, the Writing Center, and the Daniel Library joined forces to
present a comprehensive job seeking seminar. This effort will be expanded for
the next academic year.
As well as reaching out, we asked for reaching in; two approaches are
through direct discussions with students and faculty while another is through
overviews of course content. Both opportunities enable the library faculty to
identify efficient use of our resources and prioritize our goals.
Assessment
Assessment of our resources and services had a dual mandate from the
Commission on Higher Education. The first assessment was the Commission's statewide library program review; this extensive process, with outside consultants,
should enable the Commission to provide constructive recommendations such as
endorsing changes in the library formula funding, changes in collection data
analysis, and changes in recognition of academic program accreditation through
information access and resource sharing. A modified Integr~ted Postsecondary
Education Data System (IPEDS) Academic Libraries form and an Academic Libraries
1991 CHE form were the measurement tools constituting the Standard Information
Form (SIF).
The second structured project was the Daniel Library's plan to assess its
role in institutional effectiveness. To assess instructional support services,
the library utilized a survey instrument defined in the American Library
Association's publication, Measuring Academic Library Performance: a Practical
Approach. Other surveys were developed in-house to assess the effectiveness of
our formal Freshmen Library Instruction program and collection usage. Data
:-9

�obtained from these output measurement projects will be used to improve quality
of service and provide standardized data for decision making and planning. To
assess collection development, the Daniel Library has continued use of the
Research Libraries Group Conspectus to provide the analytical framework as a tool
for collection assessment and as a mechanism for further cooperative action and
resource sharing.
To measure the success of electronic resources, initial
cooperative efforts with IRM provide statistical usage data.
Performance
measures in a networked environment will be developed in a similar manner.
Information Access
An extensive CD ROM database collection has been developed this year to
support scholarly activity for undergraduate and graduate programs; in support
of such, the heavily used databases such as ERIC, PsycLIT, ABI/Inform, and MLA
International Bibliography are. available on the campus VAX network.
Library
stand alone access is provided for specialized corporate data and statistical
information.
To offer comprehensive support, several pilot electronic projects, available
through the Internet, were evaluated. CARL Uncover and Uncover II, a current
awareness service and document delivery system was tested Spring 1992; as faculty
response was quite favorable, this option will undergo further study. Another
is the consortia! wide study of local tape mounted indices; after a comprehensive
citation analysis, the Charleston Academic Library Consortium has elected to
conduct a year long evaluation, commencing 1 July 1992, of eight of the Wilson
indices.
These indices will be mounted on the main frames located at The
Citadel, the College of Charleston, and Trident Technical College and accessible
to all institutions via the new metropolitan area network, COASTNET.
Subscriptions have been entered for Infotrac and USA Today Decisionline based on
the student and faculty evaluations from the trial periods.
Creation and data conversion has added two new resources which are available
on the VAX network Library submenu. The first is the Consortium Union List of
Serials and the other is the Daniel Library New Books file; each of these is
designed to provide "on demand" end-user access. Also available this year is the
electronic Interlibrary Loan form for books and journals; this service has·
allowed the user to submit remote requests and enabled the library to reduce
delivery time.
Library Collection and Usage
The library added 3424 titles and 722 volumes for a total book addition of
4146 volumes; the book collection figure is 162,577. Microform pieces total
906,052.
As the library budget sustained heavy reductions this year,
participation as a partial government depository significantly supplemented our
resources with minimal access expense. Total circulation was 45,992; although
this figure is slightly less than last year, circulation is up. The discrepancy
is that in-house statistics have now been reserved for special studies. This
year's attendance record showed a modest increase of 8% to 173,601; October and
April were the heaviest months of attendance both this year and last.
Interlibrary loan activity continues to increase; total activity increased from
6070 to 6736 transactions.
The strongest growth service is user instruction
classes; the number of classes and number of students more than doubled over last
year from 44 classes to 98 and from 1250 students to 2639. User instruction
classes are taught in three different formats and are designed to foster
60

�independent analytical thinking and encourage information literacy. The three
class formats are a research-based library instruction course required of all
freshmen, course-specific research classes for academic courses, and end-user
searching classes for CD-ROM bibliographic databases.
These programs work
together to develop information gathering and critical thinking skills that lead
to success in academic course-work and promotion of life-long learning.
The
statistics generated from these programs reflect our commitment to the
educational support of this institution. External database searching continues
to decrease proportionally to the increase of locally owned databases.
On 7
February 1992, IRM began to capture remote usage statistics; from this date until
30 June, end users conducted 1140 searches on the four networked CD ROM
databases.
Personnel
The library's organizational chart was revised to reflect responsibilities
by task rather than format. CPT Olga Paradis joined the library faculty January
1992 and assumed duties as the Acquisitions Librarian. Serials acquisition and
control were transferred from MAJ Pyatt to CPT Paradis. As global issues mount,
MAJ Pyatt will begin developing an international documents collection as well as
developing a library mentorship program. The acquisitions LTA III position was
upgraded and reclassed to LTA IV; Pearl Erickson, an internal candidate, was
promoted to this vacancy. Her old position is under the sixteen week freeze
until July 1992. To encourage staff development, in addition to institutional
and consortia! training sessions, an in-service day has been reserved each
intersession.
Scholarly Activity
The library faculty was active in broadly ranged scholarly and professional
activities. LTC Herbert Nath completed revision of all online user guides and
has prepared documents for submission to ERIC. LTC Edmund Maynard completed his
doctoral research and is writing his dissertation. MAJ Sherman Pyatt and CPT
Alan Johns are collaborating on an African-American folklore book; publication
date is September 1992. Also, MAJ Pyatt founded, and chairs, the Round Table for
African-American Concerns of the South Carolina Library Association. LTC Zelma
G. Palestrant, Chair, and CPT Elizabeth W. Carter presented a paper on library
information management at the Third Annual International Information Resource
Management Association Conference as well as a paper on the college library's
role in teaching critical thinking at the Second National Conference on
Institutional Applications of Critical Thinking.
CPT Carter also presented
poster sessions on research-based bibliographic instruction at the Sixth
International Symposium on Self-Directed Learning and at the annual conference
of the South Carolina Library Association. Attendance at professional meetings
included: LTC Palestrant, annual conference of the American Library Association;
LTC Palestrant, MAJ Pyatt, and CPT Carter, the South Carolina Library Association
annual conference; CPT Alan Johns, the annual conference of the American Society
for Information Science (ASIS) and a library and museum materials conservation
workshop sponsored by the Palmetto Archive Library and Museum Council on

�cooperative roles with the University of South Carolina's library science
graduate program as well as high school/academic libraries state-wide
partnerships.
All library faculty served on institutional and consortia!
committees and the majority participated in professional program development.
In addition, CPT Carter served as chair of the Staff Development Committee of the
Charleston Academic Library Consortium. LTC Palestrant served as president of
the newly formed Low Country Library Association and coordinated several programs
on earthquake preparation. She also served as chair of the College Store Ad Hoc
Committee, the South Carolina SOLINET Users Group, and the South Carolina Council
of Librarians.

Archives-Museum

During the 1991-1992 period, funding was received for the renovation of the
third floor of Daniel Library, which houses the Archives-Museum. The objective
of this renovation was to create more space for the Daniel Library.
The Library acquired 2,400 square feet on the third floor.
The Museum
storage and office space were consolidated to 1,976 square feet, while the
Archives was enlarged by 650 square feet.
The archival collections are now
organized in one room and there is an appropriate area for scholars to conduct
research. Shelving was purchased for the archival collections, which are arranged
by accession number.
Prior to the renovation, all collections in the Archives-Museum
(approximately 3,000 boxes) were packed and placed in temporary storage in
Thompson Hall.
The staff were relocated to vacant offices on the campus and the
Museum was temporarily closed to the public. The renovation was completed in
three and a half months. The collections were moved back to the Archives-Museum
and unpacked by March 1992.
Ten thousand visitors toured the Museum during the year.
The Museum is
publicized in numerous national and international guides and directories and a
brochure describing the Museum has been designed and distributed. A detailed ·
description of the Museum, as well as a direct telephone line to the Museum, are
featured in a Visit Planning Kiosk at the new Charleston Visitor Reception and
Transportation Center.
Forty-four researchers used the archival collections during the year and
over two hundred and fifty written and oral requests for information were
received from national and international sources. Jane M. Yates, Director of the
Archives-Museum was acknowledged in the following publications: States Rights
Gist: A South Carolina General of the Civil War by Walter Cisco, White Main
Publishing Company, 1991 and The Emigrant from Zamboanga by Charles E. Saltzman,
1992. Donations to the Archives consisted of photographs, scrapbooks and diaries
related to cadet life at The Citadel.
The Citadel Afro American Society
presented the Museum with a photographic portrait of the first Black graduate of
The Citadel. Other donations included Citadel uniforms and related artifacts.

Writing Center

The Writing Center served the college and community with a variety of
services during its eight year of operation. The Center continues to focus on
freshmen writing assistance while enhancing writing across the campus for all
students, faculty and staff. A staff of 1 Director, 1 Coordinator of Writing,
3 professional tutors, 5 graduate assistants, and 10 cadets conduct writing and
study skills tutorials and workshops regularly; they also provide word processing
assistance.
64

�USERS:
Number of users increased 87.3% with a total of 11,371 recorded
visits to The Center this year. Freshmen constituted over half of the volume
(5,689 visits) while Evening College and Graduate Students use increased 107.8%.
SERVICES: Writing instruction remains the primary focus of The Center and
this service increased by 90.48%. The number of writing workshops doubled from
16 to 32. Faculty involvement increased on several fronts: referring students,
consulting about Writing Across the Curriculum, assisting with tutor training,and
requesting study skills, word processing, and writing workshops for specific
classes.
The Study Skills Project, begun with CDF funds two years ago, evolved into
a program with formal workshops, group conferences, and individual instruction,
with an emphasis on service to probationary students. The project culminated in
the printing of a Learning Strategies manual to be used by all freshmen and
Academic Officers.
The Center also instigated a class for English as a Second Language (ESL)
students to help with their communication skills. Another project involved using
Speed Reading software in one class: every student at least doubled his reading
rate while retaining or improving his comprehension.
SPECIAL ACTIVITIES: Additional activities included visiting the Air Force
Academy, hosting the Military Learning Assistance Board (M-LAB) meeting, helping
with Burke students, assisting the sheriff's department with promotional exams,
and publishing THE WRITE TRACK, The Center's newsletter.
AA. Honors Program

At the beginning of its fifth year of operation, the Honors Program had 20
freshmen, 17 sophomores, 11 juniors, and 10 seniors in the program--a total of
58. Forty-five per cent came from South Carolina, with the rest arriving from
all parts of the country and the world, from Nevada to New Jersey to Japan. They
majored in a variety of fields: Electrical and Civil Engineering, History,
English, Mathematics, Computer Science, Biology, Business Administration, Modern
Languages, Physics, and Political Science.
At the beginning of the first semester, two students withdrew from the
college for personal reasons. After the first semester, six were separated from
the program for academic reasons, and three students were added to the program.
At the end of the year, a total of 53 students were enrolled.
Nine were
graduated in the spring. One sophomore was added after the end of the spring
semester. We anticipate admitting eighteen incoming freshmen for the fall, so
that at the beginning of AY 1992-93 the Honors Program will have 63 students.
The academic performance of Honors Program students in 1991-92 has been
outstanding. At the end of the year, the cumulative GPA for Honors students was
3.449; the average in Honors Program courses was 3.424, a difference of .025.
Freshmen in the program earned an average cumulative gpa of 3.588.
Honors Program students continue to provide exceptional leadership for the
Corps of Cadets. The following positions or awards were earned by Honors Program
students for next year: Regimental Commander, Regimental Executive Officer,
65

�Regimental Supply Officer, Regimental Academic Officer, Regimental Color
Sergeant, Regimental Supply Sergeant, Regimental Administrative Clerk, Regimental
Operations Clerk, Second Battalion Commander, First Battalion Sergeant Major,
Second Battalion Sergeant Maj or, Second Battalion Academic Officer, Third
Battalion Academic Officer, Third Battalion Administrative Clerk, and Fourth
Battalion Administrative Clerk, plus seven sergeants, one platoon leader, four
company clerks, and six corporals. And for the third year in a row (since we
have had seniors to be eligible) the Chairman of the Honor Court will be an
Honors Program student.
Post-graduate activities of the nine seniors who completed the Honors
Program indicate a high level of success: one student earned a Fulbright
Fellowship and will be studying in Germany, one earned a full fellowship to
attend the Georgetown University program in Latin American Studies, one earned
a scholarship to attend the University of Cincinnati School of Law, one will be
attending law school at The College of William and Mary, one will be attending
law school at the University of South Carolina, and four will enter military
service.
In addition, an Honors Program student earned early admission into medical
school; he was a sophomore when he earned this honor, and will complete his
education at The Citadel before going on to medical school. Another successfully
competed for an opportunity to spend a semester studying in Czechoslovakia in the
fall through a program sponsored by the National Collegiate Honors Council. And
another competed successfully for a semester-long position as a Congressional
Intern in Washington, D.C.

Institutional Research

The Office of Institutional research is responsible for providing responses
to internal and external inquiries for data and information about the college,
its student body and programs, and the preparation of reports to State and
Federal agencies.
Reporting
During 1991-92, 46 reports which provided data on the college's student
body, faculty, staff and academic programs were completed and submitted to the
SC Commission on Higher Education and the US Department of Education. The office
also provided data and information for the completion of the various college
reports to external agencies.
Information was also provided to the ·southern
Association of Colleges and Schools, professional organizations and recruiting
services to satisfy their needs for data on our institution and students for
accreditation studies, their publications and enhancements of their data bases.
In addition to its reporting function, the office also responded to all ad hoc
requests from faculty and various departments for data and information about the
college.
66

�Student Recruitment and Retention Research
In response to requests from the Admissions and Registrar's offices,
Institutional Research initiated a series of research studies. The first survey
was designed to gain information about freshmen cadets. The second focused on
applicants who were accepted to the Corps of Cadets but decided not to attend The
Citadel. The Freshman Survey, which was mailed in February, 1992, yielded data
on freshmens choice of The Citadel, their satisfaction with college services, and
their persistence at the college.
It also provided pertinent demographic
information about the students and their families. The survey provided useful
information on the reasons cadets choose The Citadel, and the factors which
influence their success and retention during their freshman year. As a result
of the Freshman Survey subsequent research projects were planned to elicit
additional information to be used in increasing freshman retention and the
development of recruitment strategies.
The Accepted Student Survey was mailed between April and June, 1992, and was
designed to determine why applicants, who were accepted for admission to the
Corps of Cadets, did not matriculate. The information from that survey can be
used to further refine recruitment and admissions strategies, and may lead to the
development of new strategies to increase the numbers of students who accept
admission to the Corps of Cadets.

FACILITIES AND CONSTRUCTION

General

1991-92 saw the completion of many important construction
projects. The new mess hall was completed on time for the start of
the school year.
The old mess hall is in the process of being
demolished. This area after clearing will be the site of the first
new barracks.
Construction has continued on Bond Hall, however,
contract problems have caused the completion date to slip. Vandiver
Hall and Grimsley Hall have been completed, and the beach house
which was damaged beyond repair by Hurricane Hugo was demolished and
drawings for a new beach house are being reviewed.
An investigation . was made of the Barracks as to the
feasibility of renovation or replacement.
The investigation
revealed that replacement of the barracks would be in the best
interest of The Citadel as the current cost analysis shows
replacement to be less expensive than renovation.
The Beach Company has given as a gift the property directly in
front of the beach house on the Isle of Palms.
An environmental
study is underway to satisfy state requirements concerning the
acquisition of land for state use.
A hearing concerning the vibro compaction controversy and the
costs associated with testing for the new mess hall was held on
March 17, and the results approved by the State Engineer amounted to
an award of $62,557.32 to the contractor, Ruscon Corporation. The
Citadel is unable to appeal the decision to the Procurement Review
Panel by statute.
The Citadel is pursuing a course of action to
involve the design firm in paying for the award since the State
Engineer's decision was based on faulty specifications.

B.

Accomplishments

Coward Hall, the new mess hall, was completed a month ahead of
schedule at a cost of $5,775,000.
The facility was completed in
time for the arrival of cadets at the beginning of the school year.
There are some warranty items and construction defects that remain
at this time, however, these problems are in the process of being
corrected.
Grimsley Hall, named in honor of former Citadel president
James A. Grimsley, Jr. and member of the Class of '42, was completed
last summer at a project cost of $5,211,239. This modern facility
houses the Electrical Engineering Department and Physics Department.
The three-story building contains 58,000 square feet of space with
seven classrooms, two tiered-type classrooms, 16 labs, one dark
room, four student project rooms, a computer room, faculty offices,
research areas for the two departments, a rooftop observation deck,
and a 140-seat auditorium.
Funds to complete the auditorium at a
total cost of $225,000 were donated.
The auditorium is named in

68

�honor of Graham Copeland. This building is the first structure on
campus to be designed for seismic activity since the codes have
incorporated these requirements. The second floor was designed to
be aligned with the second floors of Letellier Hall and Thompson
Hall so that at some future date a corridor could be opened up to
connect all three buildings. The appearance and architecture of the
building is the traditional spanish-moorish style.
The Utility Systems Repair/Replacement Project was approved in
the 1991 Capital Improvement Bond Bill and is awaiting Joint Bond
Review Committee authorization of the proposed draw schedule to
release funds for the project. Most of The Citadel's infrastructure
was constructed when The Citadel moved to its present location in
1923 with little replacement.
The electrical system is not
compatible with the rest of the Charleston peninsula.
Presently,
the campus experiences frequent brownouts in the summer, low water
pressure especially in the barracks, and leaks, root intrusions and
blockages in our sewer and storm drainage lines. Due to the age of
these facilities we are no longer able to maintain the facilities
with normal repair and maintenance funds.
The Utility Systems
Repair/Replacement Project will upgrade our electrical system, water
distribution system, steam lines, sewer lin~s and storm drainage
lines. This project impacts on the well being of the entire campus,
especially the Corps of Cadets.
Vandiver Hall was also completed last summer, and dedication
services were held in November.
The $2.2 million dollar athletic
facility was named in honor of Colonel Thomas C. "Nap" Vandiver,
Class of '29, vice chairman emeritus of The Citadel Board of
Visitors.
Vandiver Hall contains 23,000 square feet of space and
houses coaches' offices, showers and dressing rooms for wrestling,
track soccer and golf. The second floor provides practice space for
baseball and competition areas for the wrestling squad.
A new Citadel Master Plan has been drafted, reviewed by the
staff and will soon be presented to the Board of Visitors for
approval to publish.

C.

Other Capital Improvement Projects

A Barracks Renovation project was initiated by contracting
with the engineering firm of Davis &amp; Floyd, Inc., to investigate the
existing conditions, analyze the code requirements and prepare a
cost estimate and analyses to determine the most cost effective
means of improving the barracks to include total replacement. The
investigation yielded that the most cost effective solution is to
replace all the barracks with new construction.
The project cost
estimate is approximately $45,000,000, subject to adjustments for
inflation.
The addition of individually controlled room air conditioning
to the guest rooms on the third floor of Mark Clark Hall was
completed.

�Landscaping to replace what was destroyed by the 1989
hurricane as well as routine landscape requirements have been on
going. The Citadel has planted several trees donated by friends and
alumni.
In addition, The Citadel received a $5,000 matching grant
from the Small Business Administration for planting trees.
The steam line that crossed the northeast corner of the parade
field which has been leaking and killing the grass has been
replaced. The steam line has been rerouted behind Jenkins and Mark
Clark Halls.
The beach house remains have been removed, a new fence
installed, and the beach revetment rebuilt. The design of the new
building is completed and will be bid during FY 92-93.
Estimated
cost is $1,000,000.
The design for relocating the cadet canteen to the old bowling
alley is complete and will be bid in FY 92-93.
Estimated cost is
$700,000.
The roof on Letellier Hall was replaced.
The steam absorption chiller in Capers Hall was replaced with
a more efficient electric chiller. South Carolina Electric and Gas
provided The Citadel a rebate of $600 for energy conservation by
putting in the efficient chiller.
Construction documents for the asbestos abatement and
demolition for old Coward Hall were completed.
Estimated project
cost is $674,000. The project will be bid in FY 92-93.
The interior renovation of Daniel Library was completed.
included painting through out, window tinting, and floor
modifications on the third floor.

D.

Physical Plant

The overall theme in the Physical Plant this year has been
funding shortfalls. No activity is harder hit in times of budgetary
restrictions than the maintenance department.
Our Physical Plant
department was no exception this year, but everyone responded to the
challenge of maintaining effectiveness in the face of dwindling
resources. Although much needed maintenance had to be deferred for
yet another year, overall campus operations and commitments were
met.
Additionally, cost saving initiatives resulted in the
department returning funds at the end of the year to offset the
projected deficit.
Utility expenditures are amongst the largest and most
difficult to control i terns in the Physical Plant budget.
As a
result, our cost cutting efforts were concentrated in this area.
Projections of utility costs were established at the beginning of

70

�the year based on historical data and engineering judgment. These
projects became our target for cost saving initiatives and the
yardstick against which we measure our progress. Although funding
levels were significantly below the projections, our conservation
efforts, together with favorable weather conditions, enabled us to
return more than $162,000 of funds which were not needed to pay
utility bills.
Several major initiatives contributed to this savings:
1. Manual peak load shedding - During the hot summer
months, we typically reach a maximum or "peak" level of
electrical energy consumption. Unfortunately, due to
the power company's rate schedule, we pay for at least
80% of this level each month, all year long, whether we
use that much or not. Obviously, the lower we can keep
the peak, the less we'll pay for electricity annually.
We significantly lowered our peak this year by turning
air conditioning systems off at times when we suspected
we were nearing a peak.
2. Careful energy monitoring - Throughout the year, we
insured that energy consuming systems were on only when
needed and set at reasonable levels when on.
3. Change in irrigation schedules - By changing to a
three times per week irrigation schedule from a daily
schedule, significant savings were realized with minimum
effect on campus landscaping.
4.
Installation of laundry condensate return - Major
energy waste was halted by installing a condensate
return line from the laundry, thus eliminating loss of
large amounts of already heated water.
As we look to the future in energy consumption, we are
scheduled to be under contract by 1 September for the direct
procurement of our own unregulated natural gas.
If this program
materializes as projected, we will save almost $250,000 on natural
gas annually. We are also hopeful that our suggestion to extend the
Thanksgiving break to a full week will allow us to go "cold iron"
and reap the resultant energy savings.
Other cost saving measures resulted in the return of more than
$75,000 of non-utility Physical Plant funding which aided materially
in reducing the College's deficit. Included among our initiatives
in this area were:
1. Changing janitor contract frequencies from five to
three times weekly.
Although service levels were
reduced, critical areas such as restrooms were kept at
the old frequency to minimize the effect of the
reductions.

71

�2. Prudent reductions in levels of casualty insurance
coverage, recognizing the unlikely probability of
"total" loss of any one facility.
3. Transportation fleet reductions of under-utilized
vehicles.
4. Minimizing overtime by maximum use of compensatory
time and shifting of work schedules.
5. Performing vehicle rehabilitations in-house instead
of commercially.
By painting vehicles ourselves, we
stretched our budget dollars and improved the appearance
of the fleet, which contributed to The Citadel's image
and employee morale.
Administratively, much was done this year to improve the
functioning of the Physical Plant. Some of the highlights include:
1.

Preventative Maintenance System streamlining.

2.
Institution of a system for
documentation of warranty claims.

notification

and

3.
Conversion of a grounds division position to the
HVAC shop to improve service.
4.

Publication of Campus Safety Plan.

5.

Procurement of a Navy surplus backhoe.

We hope these and numerous other on-going improvements were
responsible for the noticeable decrease in facility deficiencies
cited in this year's Mid-Year Review.
LTC Schottler was active in the South Carolina Association of
Physical Plant Administrators this year. In addition to attending
the regional conference at Hilton Head last fall, as a Board member,
he attended this spring's board meeting at Myrtle Beach, where he
proposed initiatives to develop the organization's standing as an
advisory group and authority on facility maintenance issues. The
Board is also active in providing meaningful and economical midlevel supervisory training sessions and is compiling, for reference,
a list of the numerous regulations Physical Plant Directors must
deal with currently. LTC Schottler also appeared before the Wagner
Terrace Homeowners' Association Meeting to brief them on and obtain
their approval of our proposal for a greenhouse behind the Physical
Plant shops.
The Physical Plant encountered several staff changes during
the past fiscal year, both in administrative and trades positions.
Mrs. Jenkins, our accounting tech, resigned after a long illness,
leaving another 16 week period in which it was necessary for her
duties to be picked up by our other 2 administrative positions.

72

�Mrs. Bastian, our business manager, had back surgery in January, and
was out almost 3 months, leaving only one employee to hold down the
duties of 3, since we had not been able to fill our vacancy.
However, Mrs. Montgomery (who was promoted to the accounting tech
position), along with the Physical Plant Director, managed to keep
the physical plant running with little or no notice to the "outside"
world.
In addition, we lost our deputy director and two machine shop
supervisors early in 1992, also le~ving vacancies to be filled after
the required 16 week delay. These positions will be filled after 1
July 1992.
Though the physical plant has undergone these personnel
vacancies/changes, work has continued and many projects were
completed during this period.
GROUNDS AND CONTRACT SERVICES DIVISION:
The completion of 3 new
buildings during this period instigated support requirements from
the physical plant, to include, the labor necessary to move
employees and equipment into offices, installing locks for each
facility, some painting and incidental carpentry items that were not
included as part of the original contract.
Landscaping was also
provided in-house for these facilities.
In addition, with the
start-up of the Bond Hall Renovation project, all employees and
necessary equipment were moved into trailers set up on Kovats Field.
This entailed all areas of Bond Hall except for the executive wing.

Telephones were installed in all building passenger elevators
to meet code requirements. The Infirmary was treated for formosan
termites by tenting the building. It was also necessary to retreat
quarters 2 Hammond Avenue again, this was performed under the
warranty since this unit had been tented in the past. Many trees
and stumps damaged by HUGO were removed by in-house labor. Some of
this work had been delayed until a time when cadets were on break
and it was deemed safer to perform this type work. Barracks 1 and
2 had furniture refurbished during this period - a momentous task,
considering furniture was double handled in this process.
BUILDINGS DIVISION: Renovated IRM office in Bond Hall and IRM lab
in Capers Hall. Great effort was expended to make as many of Capers
Hall windows operational, as possible. An office was constructed in
Summerall Chapel and associated chapel work in Mark Clark Hall was
performed. Mark Clark Hall reception room was repainted in addition
to the executive area of the third floor. All barracks guardrooms
and front entrances were improved and spruced up.
Quads of all
barracks were repainted prior to the cadets return in August '91.
Computer rooms and bathroom ceilings and trim were painted in each
barracks. Barracks 1 and 3 stairwells were repainted, others were
power washed. All guard sentry "turrets" were repainted. With the
upcoming project to demolish the old Coward Hall building, as many
roof tiles as could be saved were removed to be used as replacements
on other similar buildings, as necessary. In addition, the roof was

73

�protected with felt paper, until such time as the asbestos could be
removed prior to demolition.
Mr. Mike Smith of our paint shop
attended a class and is now certified in proper methods of handling
asbestos.
Twenty-seven faculty quarters units were repaired and
repainted due to occupant moves; 10 stucco, 6 in the apartment
building, 4 duplex units, 5 junior faculty apartments, 1 bachelor
and 1 maintenance unit.
In addition to this interior work, the
exterior of 71-75 Hagood -was repainted.
Assisted in the' wiring for the elevator phones.
Removed and replaced wiring in over 30 rooms in the barracks.
Reworked the parade field sound system and reran the power lines for
street lights which used to come from old Coward Hall.
Provided
assistance to the contractors in the PCB removal from the
transformers at the Library, Jenkins and Mark Clark Halls.
The
Stadium emergency lighting system was repaired. Electrical repairs
were performed at the Beach Club. Sun porch of 2 Hammond required
rewiring after termite damage was repaired. Barracks 1 hot water
piping was redone and roof drain repairs made to Barracks 2 and 3.
Upon shutdown immediately after graduation, steam lines were
inspected and repairs made as required.
During this shutdown,
boilers were inspected and received certification.
Of the 27
quarters uni ts that were repaired, several required complete renewal
of bathroom fixtures and tile due to the age of these units.
In
addition, rewiring and replacement of outdated lighting fixtures
were accomplished.

UTILITIES DIVISION:

Four boating classes were held with 175 of the
200 enrollees completing the course.
The channel was dredged with
approximately 30,000 cubic yards of material being removed. This
brought about increased utilization of boating equipment, since
trailering was no longer necessary. However, with this increase in
use, increase in maintenance and repairs has been required. Though
funds to upgrade our boats/motors and trailers have not been
provided for the past four years, equipment has seen hard use, and
maintenance has been provided on a regular basis. Due to the age
· and continued maintenance, turn around time for re-use may not
always be as quick as it is when more modern/updated equipment is
available. Personnel and facility support for the Police Olympics
was provided during this period.
OPERATIONS DIVISION:

Defensive Driving Courses were held on campus for all persons
who are required to drive a state motor vehicle as a part of their
job.
Driving records were reviewed and Safe Driving Awards were
given for those qualifying.
A formal Accident Review Board was
established and the first meeting was held in August '91 to review
13 vehicle accidents. The second meeting was held in June '92 to
review 8 accidents. Orange safety cones were provided to all shop
vehicles to be utilized whenever the vehicle is parked. This was
done in an effort to make the operators look around the vehicle
prior to moving it, hopefully this will reduce accidents.
An
Interagency State Motor Pool was established with the delivery of
nine new vehicles in late March '92. This Inter agency pool has been

74

�very successful. In its first month of operation, it made a profit
for DMVM.
The Citadel has been a beneficiary of this pool in
several ways:
reduced vehicle
costs,
additional
vehicle
availability and additional vehicles more convenient to motor pool
operation.
Several cost saving programs were instigated during
period, both to cut costs and to provide help to occupants.

this

1.

Quarters window.- and screen repair for occupant
comfort and energy conservation.

2.

The policy for quarters interior painting being
limited to off-white color only was strictly
enforced this year.

3.

There was a vigorous pursuit of barracks damage
reimbursement.

A new "self-help" program is soon to be published in the
quarters manual to increase quarters maintenance with minimal fund
expenditure.

Finance

&amp;

Business Affairs

Finance:

Fiscal Year 1991-92 continued the downward trend in funding for Higher
Education in South Carolina which started in Fiscal Year 1989-90 and continued
in FY 1990-91. Fiscal Year 1990-91 was initially funded at 87.8% but was reduced
by 3% during the year. Fiscal Year 1991-92 was initially funded at only 80.3%
of the Commission on Higher Education Formula.
That was then reduced by a
Governor's veto of .6% in June, and was followed by a 1% cut from the Budget &amp;
Control Board on 30 July as well as a directive to sequester 2% of the
appropriations until a final decision as of 1 January 1992. Those funds were
subsequently withdrawn. Finally, an additional 1% reduction was directed by the
Budget &amp; Control Board on 11 February 1992. The final level of funding after the
four cuts noted above was only 75.7% of the CHE Formula. As a result of this
extremely low level of funding, the lowest for Higher Education in at least ten
years, The Citadel had to take unusual measures to absorb the cuts and still
provide the quality academic offerings required. The college extended its hiring
delay from 12 weeks to 16 weeks; we further cut non-personnel support areas such
as supplies, travel, and contractual services; and we instituted a strict control
over energy use in an effort to reduce utilities costs. Finally, on 11 May 1992,
the President directed a complete freeze on expenditures of non-personnel funds
except for those purchases required to support Summer School or to support the
Physical Plant's requirements for approved projects. As a result of these severe
budget reduction measures, the college was able to finish the fiscal year II in the
black.
The following table reflects State Appropriations levels for The Citadel
over the past four years and shows the projected funding for the coming year:

The Citadel Trust, Incorporated, became an incorporated entity as of 1 July
1992 in accordance with authority granted by the South Carolina General Assembly.
The new eleemosynary corporation was established to assume responsibility for the
investment management of the college's scholarship and other endowment funds

76'

�which had previously been managed by The Citadel Board of Visitors.
The five
Directors of The Citadel Trust, Incorporated, were appointed by The Citadel Board
of Visitors.
The five directors are COL Thomas C. Vandiver, Mr. J.L. Keitt
Purcell, Mr. Robert B. Scarborough, COL Charles L. (Buddy) Terry, and Mr. W.
Burke Watson. The Citadel turned all of the college-managed funds over to the
Trust for investment management. The college staff will provide accounting and
administrative services for the Trust on a fully reimbursable basis.
The
financial statements of the Trust will be audited annually by an independent
auditor.
The college again received an "unqualified" op1.n1.on on its audited
financial statements for Fiscal Year 1990-91. This attests to the good financial
practices at the college, and it is a positive factor to be considered when the
college issues bonds.
The audit for Fiscal Year 1990-91 was performed by the
State Auditor's staff after several years of audits contracted to private firms.
Preliminary action has been initiated with the State Treasurer's staff and
bond attorneys to develop information required in the event the college
determines that it will fund at least a portion of the cost of the anticipated
barracks renovation project by the issue of Revenue Bonds. Such an issue would
most likely involve the largest single bond issue in the college's history and
would require very detailed documentation of the college's financial viability
and projected stream of barracks fees revenue to support the debt service
payments required.
The Citadel's Procurement Services staff continues to perform in an
exceptional manner Wi. ~ '!lin its ~ '.)Cal procurement authority of $30,000.
The
Procurement Services staff processed 63 Invitations for Bid during the fiscal
year with no vendor protests. The automated purchasing system was upgraded and
brought on line as of 1 March 1992. The Procurement Service staff developed all
associated training materials and provided training in the enhanced system for
all academic departments and support activities.
The Director of Procurement
Services continues to function as the college's Minority Business Enterprise
Officer and has been active in minority business affairs in the Lowcountry . .He
developed and co-sponsored a MBE seminar on "How to do Business with State
Agencies."
The Citadel continues to benefit from its designation as a Service
Educational Activity (SEA) by the Department of Defense.
This designation
permits the college to gain priority access to Department of Defense surplus
property at minimal cost to the college. The Citadel obtained property valued
at more than $153,000 this fiscal year to include heavy equipment, general
maintenance supplies, and other equipment. The college also sponsored its first
"Citadel Garage Sale" of college-owned surplus property which had been declared
"junk" by the State Surplus Property Office. Over $15,000.00 was realized from
that sale and other local sales approved by the State. The funds generated by
these local sales will be used to purchase like items required by the college.
The Controller's Office was also involved in the upgrade of the Procurement
System as well as the implementation of FRS Plus, an improved version of the
basic financial accounting software package utilized by the college.
The
Grants/Loans accounting position was transferred from the Office of the
Controller to the Treasurer's Office in order to consolidate billings and
receivables for student loans and grant receivables in the same office where

77

�student, customer, and general receivables were already handled. This action
should not only streamline the system but should permit more direct control and
supervision over these essential functions.
B.

Auxiliary Service Activities:

The Cadet Store has enjoyed another very successful year during FY 1991-92.
Revenue collections for this college year will exceed $2,600,000--an increase of
more than $200,000 from last fiscal year.
The Cadet Store continues to be
successful in computer sales under the educational discount programs. We have
continued to increase sales of used textbooks by purchasing more used textbooks
from wholesalers and increasing buy-back from our students. The Cadet Store also
implemented a new requirement this year to procure and sell telephones, answering
machines, and accessories to ~he Corps of Cadets.
The Tailor Shop enjoyed a very successful year during FY 91-92. Revenue
collections as of year end amounted to $917,430.00.
In a very lean year, we
sustained cuts with no reduction of personnel or services. Our personnel are
stable with no turnover or retirements. Five hundred eight-five freshmen were
measured, fitted, and had uniforms altered, beginning in August and finishing in
late February.
An annual inventory audit was held in late May, revealing
$61,494.10 left in stock which will be used to meet requirements for the Class
of 1996.
This reflects a slight increase over last year due to our ongoing
efforts to have more advance stock on hand to facilitate fittings needed for
immediate use. This year, due to competitive bidding, a new vendor was awarded
the Blazer Ensemble contract affording a considerable savings to the cadets.
Through a Uniform Board decision, an alternative fabric for the cadet dress white
uniform was selected due to shrinkage problems with the material previously used.
Wear/laundry tests were accomplished on the new dress white fabric with very
positive results. The board also made a decision to issue three pairs of High
Rise Trousers versus two pairs of regular and two pairs of High-Rise since the
High Rise Trousers can be used both ways--dress and full dress. These decisions
will be incorporated into the initial clothing issue for the Class of 1996 and
will result in reduced costs to the cadets.
Contracts have been firmed with
Thorngate Uniforms for the Class of 1996 and M. Dumas and Sons for Blazer
Ensembles for the Class of 1994. The Tailor Shop is processing some 8,000 pieces
of uniforms to include repair, class striping, rank chevron installation, dry
cleaning, mothproofing, and pressing during the summer to make ready for the
return of the Corps of Cadets in August.
The Laundrv and Dry Cleaners continued to provide outstanding support for
the Corps of Cadets. Although no new laundry and dry cleaning equipment was
purchased for the 1991-92 fiscal year, plans are underway to purchase dry-to-dry,
dry cleaning units for installation early in FY 1992-93. This will place The
Citadel above the standards required by 0.S.H.A. for the upcoming year.

*This is an increase of 244 uniforms and an increase of 7,381 pounds

The Print Shop's modest revenue growth continued this fiscal year
(approximately $20,000). The demand for full color printing has continued to
increase.
Installation of a Riso graph digital duplicator has dramatically
reduced operational costs in the "Quick Copy" area, thereby improving turnaround
time. Installation of an air filtration system has greatly improved both print
quality and air quality. Employee cross training continues to yield benefits in
keeping up production schedules. One of the collators was completely rebuilt to
"like new" condition for less than $500, and this has doubled the sheet-collating
capacity.
The management computer system was upgraded to a true, multi-user
system enabling the use of data from two terminals.
This has impacted
significantly on the ability to provide customers fast and accurate quotations
and helped get jobs into production faster. The old "Total Copy System" press
was rebuilt into an envelope specialty press which more than doubled the
production speed for envelopes; cost was less than $1,000 . . The old folder was
refurbished which added an additional 70% to the folding capacity; cost was less
than $1,000. The binder used for binding of the catalogue, Guidon, and similar
publications is beyond repair; parts are no longer available. This is priority
requirement which will be addressed during FY 1992-93.
The Citadel Gift Shop operations have continued to provide services for the
Cadet Corps and the Citadel alumni, staff, and supporters. The store operated
the concession sales for gift merchandise at Johnson-Hagood Stadium for the
second year.
Department profits were generated by store sales, barber shop
services, and commissions from the contracted services for the fountain, vending
machines, coin laundry, and amusement machines.
Product availability was
advertised more this year than during previous years. Kirkman Sports Marketing
and Productions announced our ads on The Citadel Sports Network radio broadcasts
to include the pre-game shows.
This also gave extra support to the Athletic
program as a Citadel Sports Sponsor for the radio broadcast. Also, the store
coordinated with the Alumni Association to publish and distribute a gift shop
catalog, "The Citadel Collection" (fall 1991). This was a first for the Gift
Shop and was rated a success. The Gift Shop store sales have been exceptional
considering the economic conditions for FY 1991-92.
As of year end, store
receipts totaled $1,341,857--an increase over last year of $97,800.
The
convenience of the QM charge system continues to be utilized for the benefit of
the cadets and The Citadel.
During the school year the Cadet Quartermaster
Accounts were used to charge $471,056 for haircuts, school supplies, and health
&amp; comfort products. The first year of the vending services contract with WOMETCO
has been profitable for the department. More than the guaranteed commissions are
expected due to the increased sales for snack food machines. Negotiations with
the contractor to ensure continued improvement in the volume of canned drink
sales are in progress.
Plans are being finalized for a new snack bar and
fountain service facility. When completed, the new facility will be located in
the area which previously housed the bowling alley. This will allow expansion
of the Gift Shop and will provide additional space for merchandise display and

79

�employee work areas. An in-depth study and review of both the Cadet Store and
the Gift Shop services for the feasibility to contract such services has been
ongoing this fiscal year. The recommendations of an independent committee of
faculty and staff members was due to the President early in FY 1992-93.
The Citadel Infirmary continued its outstanding, 24-hour service for the
Corps of Cadets. Cadets visited the doctor 2,048 times in 1991-92 and saw the
nurses 8,381 times. Administrative visits totaled 190, and 318 allergy shots
were administered. Upon a DHEC Drug Enforcement inspection, no problems were
found and all outdated narcotics were destroyed at the time by the pharmacist and
the DHEC agent.
ARA Services continued to provide excellent food service for the Corps of
Cadets and the administration. The Dining Services accomplished its move from
Coward Hall to the new Cadet Dining Facility on 17 August.
The first meal-lunch- -was served on 18 August to the incoming band members of the Class of 1995.
Family-style meals were served to approximately 2,000 cadets during the school
year, and approximately 400 campers enrolled in the Summer Camp for Boys program.
Additionally, cafeteria-style meals were served in the summer to Summer School
students and participants enrolled in The Ci-tadel athletic camps.
Dining
Services also supported approximately 800 catered functions during the year, such
as pre-game buffets at the President's house, receptions, class reunions, alumni
activities, Board of Visitors' functions, and approximately 500 student
activities--cookouts, box lunches, club dinners, and regimental functions.

Financial Review of Operations for Fiscal Year 1991-92

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 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 $96,943 were made from the Stackhouse, CDF, and the
Perkins Loan Funds to 73 students. At 30 June 1992, outstanding student loans
receivables aggregated $772,048. Our Perkins default rate was 7.51 percent.
Endowment and Similar Funds represent gifts, bequests, or other funds
received which fall into one of two categories:
(1) Permanent Endowment Funds for which the original donor has stipulated,
as a condition of the gift, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and
in perpetuity and only the income resulting from the investment of the fund may
be expended; (2)
Quasi-endowment funds which are not restricted by donor
limitations 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, tuition, and special fees
collected from the students 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 $860,876 in fees, $494 in other revenue, and $162,068 in interest income for
a total receipt of $1,023,438.
The expenses recorded for bond retirement
including interest transfers and service charges totaled $775,362. 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, construction in progress, 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 1992 is $76,893,716. Debt owed for completed buildings is included in
this fund. Outstanding debt at 30 June 1992 was $7,053,999.
Unexpended Plant Funds balance as of 30 June 1992 amounted to $3,961,195.
Renewals and Replacement Fund balances as of 30 June 1992 totaled $855,189.

8.3

�These funds are distributed among eight accounts: barracks, telephones, dining
hall, infirmary, laundry, print shop, computer acquisition, and rehabilitation
reserve.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Reporting Entity
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 basic, but not
the only, criterion for including a component unit in the reporting entity is the
governing body's oversight responsibility over such component unit. The funds of
The Citadel are included in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the
State of South Carolina. The Board of Visitors, which has seven members appointed
by the General Assembly, three by the Association of Citadel Men and one by the
Governor, is the governing body of The Citadel. Accordingly, as such it
administers, has jurisdiction over, and is responsible for the management of The
Citadel. The reporting entity operates as an autonomous component unit. 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 and do not include any other component units of the State
of South Carolina.
Accrual Basis
The financial statements of The Citadel 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
assets, interest on loans to students is recorded when collected, and revenue
from tuition and student fees for summer sessions is reported totally within the
fiscal year in which the session is primarily conducted. The statement of current
funds revenues, expenditures, and other changes is a statement of financial
activities of current funds related to the current reporting period. The
statement does not purport to present the results of operations or the net income
or loss for the period as would a statement of income or a statement of revenue
and expenses.
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 and normal replacement 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 nonmandatory nature in all
other cases.
Fund Accounting
In order to ensure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use
of the resources available to The Citadel, the accounts are maintained in
accordance with the principles of fund accounting. This is the procedure by which
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; however,
in the
accompanying

�THE CITADEL
The Military College of South Carolina
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1992

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Fund Accounting
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.
Within each fund group, fund balances restricted by outside sources are so
indicated 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 owned
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 revenue in unrestricted
current funds. ·
All other unrestricted revenues are accounted for in the unrestricted current
funds. Restricted gifts, grants, appropriations, endowment income, and other
restricted resources are accounted for in the appropriate restricted funds.
The Current Funds group includes those economic resources which are expendable
for operating purposes to perform the primary missions of The Citadel, which are
instruction, research, and public service. For a more meaningful disclosure, the
current funds are divided into two subgroups: unrestricted and restricted.
Separate accounts are maintained for auxiliary enterprises operations in the
unrestricted current funds. Current funds are considered unrestricted unless the
restrictions imposed by the donor or other external agency are so specific that
they substantially reduce The Citadel's flexibility in their utilization.
Unrestricted gifts are recognized as revenue when received. Receipts that are
restricted are recorded initially as additions to restricted fund balances and
recognized as revenue to the extent that such funds are expended for the
restricted purposes during the current fiscal year.
Auxiliary enterprises are essentially self-supporting business entities and
activities that exist for the purpose of furnishing goods and services primarily
to students, faculty, staff, or departments and for which charges are made that
directly relate to such goods and services. Revenue and expenditures
are
reported separately as unrestricted current funds.
Assets, liabilities, and
fund

94

�THE CITADEL
The Military College of South Carolina
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1992

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Current Funds (Continued)
balances are combined with other unrestricted current funds for reporting
purposes;
however,
each separate en~erprise maintains its own assets,
liabilities, and fund balance. Auxiliary enterprises activities
include athletics, barracks, cadet store, dining hall, infirmary, and canteen.
The Loan Funds group accounts for the resources available for loans to students
from donors and government agencies. Loan funds have been divided into those
provided by the federal government and those provided by other sources.
Expenditures include costs of loan collections,
loan cancellations and
collectibility reserves, and administrative costs under the federal loan
programs. Loan fund cash and cash equivalents includes a restricted loan
participation deposit of $16,000.
The Endowment and Similar Funds group includes permanent endowment funds and
funds functioning as endowments (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. While quasi-endowment
funds have been established by the governing board for the same purposes as
permanent endowment funds, subject to any restrictions imposed by the donor of
the resources, any unrestricted portion of the principal as well as income may
be expended at the discretion of the governing board. The term "principal" is
construed to include the original value of an endowment and subsequent additions
and realized gains/losses attributable to investment transactions.
The Plant Funds group consists of four self-balancing subgroups: (1) unexpended
plant funds, (2) funds for renewals and replacements (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 routine renewal and
replacement of existing plant assets which are not reported in the renewals and
replacements subgroup. Resources specifically set aside and accumulated for major
renewals and replacements of institutional properties are recorded in the
separate subgroup. The retirement of indebtedness subgroup accounts for resources
that are specifically accumulated for interest and principal payments, debt
service reserve funds, and other debt service charges related to plant fund
indebtedness. The investment in plant subgroup accounts for all long-life assets
in the service of The Citadel, all construction in progress, and related debt for
funds borrowed and expended for the acquisition of plant assets included in this
fund subgroup. Net investment in plant represents the excess of the carrying
value of assets
over liabilities. Maj or additions to plant assets
and
inventoriable equipment with a unit value in excess of $500 are capitalized.

95

�THE CITADEL
The Military College of South Carolina
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1992

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The Agency Funds 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 Citadel. They include
the accounts of students, student organizations, and other groups directly
associated with The Citadel.

Indirect Cost Recoveries
The Citadel records as unrestricted revenue recoveries of indirect costs
applicable to government sponsored programs at negotiated fixed rates for each
year. The recoveries are also recorded as additions and deductions of restricted
current funds. Indirect cost recoveries must be remitted to the State General
Fund except those received under research and student aid grants which may be
retained by The Citadel.

Risk Management
The Citadel pays insurance premiums to certain other State agencies to cover
risks that may occur in normal operations. Several State funds accumulate assets
and the State itself assumes all risks for the following:
1. Claims of State employees for unemployment compensation benefits,
2. Claims of covered employees for workers' compensation benefits,
3. Claims of covered employees for health, dental, and group-life insurance
benefits, and
4. Claims benefits in covered medical malpractice cases.
In addition, The Citadel pays premiums to the State's Insurance Reserve Fund
which accumulates assets to cover the following losses:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Real property and its contents,
Motor vehicles,
General tort claims,
Medical malpractice claims against covered employees, and
Business interruption.

The Insurance Reserve Fund purchases insurance coverage for a portion of these
liabilities.

Accrued Annual Leave
State employees are entitled to accrue and carry forward at calendar year-end 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 State employment,
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 an expenditure in the current year.

June 30. 1992

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Investment in Plant
Physical plant and equipment, except for certain plant assets acquired prior to
July 1, 1985, and equipment under capital lease, are stated at cost at the date
of acquisition or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts.
Land and buildings acquired prior to July 1, 1985, are stated at historical cost
when determinable or at approximate historical cost determined by an independent
appraisal. Equipment additions purchased through capital leases or installment
purchase contracts are capitalized in the investment in plant fund subgroup in
the year of acquisition at their total cost, excluding interest charges.
Equipment under capital leases is stated at the lower of the present value of
minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term or fair value at the
inception of the lease. Payments of principal and interest on such contracts are
recorded in the retirement of indebtedness fund subgroup of the plant funds group
as the installments are paid.
Construction expenditures are recorded at cost in the unexpended plant fund or
renewals and replacement fund when incurred and capitalized as construction in
progress in the investment in plant fund subgroup as incurred. Upon the
completion of the project, the costs are capitalized in the appropriate asset
account.
Library books and microfilms are recorded at average cost.
Inventoriable equipment with a unit value in excess of $500 and having an
expected life in excess of two years has been capitalized. Expenditures from
current funds for acquisition of capital assets are recorded in both the current
funds expenditure accounts of the various operating departments and in the
investment in plant fund subgroup of the plant funds group.
When plant assets are sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, the carrying value
at cost or appraised approximate historical cost, where applicable, is removed
from the investment in plant subgroup. In accordance with practices followed by
educational institutions, depreciation on physical plant and equipment is not
recorded.

Deferred Revenues
In unrestricted current funds, deferred revenues primarily consist of receipts
collected in advance for student fees, athletic events, or advertising which
amounts have not been earned. Deferred revenues of restricted current funds
primarily represent contract and grant funds received but not yet earned which
generally are recognized in the period in which the expenditures are incurred.

Student Deposits and Unearned S~udent Revenues
Student deposits represent prepaid fees by students for succeeding semesters and
various other deposits. Student deposits are recognized as revenue during the
semester for which the fee is applicable and earned when the deposit is
nonrefundable to the student under the terms of the agreement.

Prepaid Items
Expenditures for insurance and similar services paid for in the current or prior
fiscal years and benefitting more than one accounting period are allocated among
accounting periods. For The Citadel amounts reported in this asset account
consist primarily of prepaid insurance.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents represent petty cash, cash on deposit in banks, cash
deposited with the State Treasurer, and cash invested in various instruments as
a part of the State's cash management pool. Because the cash management pool
operates as a demand deposit account, amounts invested in the pool are classified
as cash and cash equivalents. The State Treasurer administers the cash management
pool. The pool includes some long-term investments such as 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 corporate bonds.
Most State agencies including The Citadel participate in the cash management
pool. For The Citadel's activities excluded from the pool, cash equivalents
include investments in short-term, highly liquid securities having a short-term
maturity.
The State's cash management pool consists of a general deposit account and
severa-1 special deposit accounts. The State records each fund's equity interest
in the general deposit account; however, all earnings on that account are
credited to the General Fund of the State. Investments in the pool are recorded
at cost. Amortization of premiums and discounts is allocated and reported as
interest income. Interest earned by the agency's special deposit accounts is
posted to the agency's account at the end of each month and is retained by the
agency. Interest earnings are allocated based on the percentage of an agency's
accumulated daily interest receivable to the total undistributed interest
received by the pool.
Although the cash management pool includes some long-term investments, it
operates as a demand deposit account; therefore, for credit risk information
pertaining to the cash management pool, see the deposits disclosures in Note 15.

NOTE 2 - STATE APPROPRIATIONS
The Citadel receives annual appropriations for operations as authorized by the
General Assembly of 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 Citadel. State appropriated
amounts that are not expended by fiscal year-end lapse and are required to be
returned to the General Fund of the State unless The Citadel receives
authorization from the General Assembly to carry the funds over to the next year.

NOTE 3 - STATE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BONDS
In prior years, the State authorized funds for improvements and expansion of
facilities using the proceeds of state capital improvement bonds. As capital
projects are authorized by the State Budget and Control Board, the bond proceeds
are allocated to the projects. The Citadel records the proceeds as revenue and
the bond issue costs as expenditures in the unexpended plant and renewals and
replacements funds subgroups, as applicable.

NOTE 6 - CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS (CONTINUED)
Capital leases are generally payable in monthly installments from the retirement of
indebtedness subgroup of the plant funds group and have terms expiring in various years
between 1993 and 1995. Expenditures for fiscal year 1992 were $192,690, of which $17,862
represented interest. Interest rates range from 7% to 11%.
Certain capital leases provide for renewal and/or purchase options. Generally purchase
options at bargain prices of one dollar are exercisable at the expiration of the lease terms.
The Citadel had no capital leases with related parties in the current fiscal year.

NOTE 7 - TRANSFER OF EXCESS DEBT SERVICE FUNDS
The Citadel transferred $1,148,549 in 1992 from the retirement of indebtedness (debt service)
fund subgroup to the unexpended plant fund. The funds were available for transfer because of
the maintenance of minimum balances, including reserves for payment of debt service as
required by law. All of the transfers were approved by the State Budget and Control Board.

NOTE 8 - RETIREMENT PLANS
The majority of employees of The Citadel are covered by a retirement plan through the South
Carolina Retirement System (SCRS), a cost-sharing, multiple-employer, defined benefit public
employee retirement system. Generally all State employees are required to participate in and
contribute to the System as a condition of employment unless exempted by law. This plan
provides annuity benefits as well as disability and group-life insurance benefits to eligible
employees and retirees.
Plan benefits are established by State law. Employees are eligible for a service retirement
annuity upon reaching age 65 or completion of 30 years credited service. The benefit formula
effective July 1, 1989, for the System is 1.82% 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.

NOTE 8 - RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)
The Citadel's total covered payroll for the fiscal year was $15,487,956 of total personal
service expenditures paid of $15,278,637. Effective July 1, 1988, employees are required to
contribute 6% of all compensation. Effective July 1, 1991, the employer contribution rate
became 9 .191%. The contribution requirements for the year ended June 30, 1992, were
$1,387,676 from the employer and $916,722 from employees.
The Citadel's 1992 contributions
represented less than 1% of total contributions required of all participating entities. Also,
The Citadel paid employer group-life insurance contributions of $23,231 in the current fiscal
year.
The South Carolina Police Officers Retirement System (PORS) is a cost-sharing multipleemployer, defined benefit public employee retirement system. Generally all full-time
employees whose principal duties are the preservation of public order or the protection or
prevention and control of property destruction by fire are required to participate in and
contribute to the System as a condition of employment. This plan provides annuity benefits
as well as disability and group-life insurance benefits to eligible employees and retirees.
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.
Plan benefits are established by State law. Employees 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. A member is vested for a deferred annuity with 5 years service. The benefit formula
for full benefits effective July 1, 1989, for the System is 2.14% of the employee's average
final salary multiplied by the number of years of credited service. Disability annuity
benefits and the group-life insurance benefit for PORS members are similar to those for SCRS
participants.
The Citadel's total covered payroll for the PORS for the fiscal year was $248,550. Effective
July 1, 1988, employees are required to contribute 6.5% of all compensation. Under Title 9
of the Code, The Citadel's liability under the plan is limited to the amount of contributions
established by the State Budget and Control Board. Effective July 1, 1991, the employer
contribution rate became 11.941%. The contribution requirements for the year ended June 30,
1992, were $38,228 from the employer and $21,076 from employees. The Citadel's 1991
contributions represented less than 1% of total contributions required of all participating
employers. Also, The Citadel paid employer group-life insurance contributions· of $648 in the
current fiscal year participants.
The amounts paid by The Citadel for pension, group-life insurance, and accidental death
benefits are reported as employer contributions expenditures within the applicable functional
expenditure categories of The Citadel.

NOTE 8 - RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)
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 Citadel 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. Under Title 9 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, The
Citadel's liability under the plans is limited to the amount of contributions (stated as a
percentage of covered payroll) established by the State Budget and Control Board. Therefore,
The Citadel's liability under the retirement plans is limited to the amounts appropriated
therefor in the South Carolina Appropriation Act for the applicable year and amounts from
other applicable revenue sources. Accordingly, The Citadel recognizes no contingent liability
for unfunded costs associated with participation in the plans. All actuarially required
contributions due to the plans were met.
Information concerning the authority under which benefit provisions 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' June 30, 1992, separately issued report.
Certain of The Citadel's employees have elected to be covered under optional retirement
plans. Total covered compensation for the various optional plans was $930,836 for the year
ended June 30, 1992. For the fiscal year, total contribution requirements were $86,686 from
the employer and $55,439 from employees. In addition, The Citadel paid $949 for group-life
insurance coverage for these employees. All amounts were remitted to the South Carolina
Retirement Division for distribution to the respective annuity policy providers.

NOTE 9 - POSTEMPLOYMENT AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The State of South Carolina provides certain health care, dental, and life insurance benefits
to active and certain retired State employees. All permanent full-time and certain permanent
part-time employees of The Citadel are eligible to receive these benefits. These benefits are
provided through annual appropriations by the General Assembly to The Citadel for its active
employees and to the State Budget and Control Board for all participating State retirees and
from other applicable sources of The Citadel for its active employees who ar~ not funded by
State General Fund appropriations.
The Citadel recorded employer contributions expenditures within the applicable functional
expenditure categories for these benefits in the amount of $733,555 for the year ended June
30, 1991.
Information regarding the cost of insurance benefits applicable to The Citadel's
retirees is not available. By State law, The Citadel has no liability for retirement
benefits. Accordingly, the cost of providing these benefits for retirees is not included in
the accompanying financial statements.
In addition, the State General Assembly periodically directs the Retirement Systems to pay
supplemental (cost- of-living) increases to retirees. Such increases are primarily funded
from Systems' earnings; however, a portion of the required amount is appropriated from the
State General Fund annually for the SCRS and PORS benefits.

NOTE 10 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS
Several optional deferred compensation plans are available to State employees and employers
of its political subdivisions. Certain employees of The Citadel have elected to participate .
The multiple-employer plans, created under Internal Revenue Code Sections 457, 401(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 401(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 cnnual financial report.

NOTE 12 - INTERFUND LIABILITIES AND BORROWINGS
For the most part, The Citadel operates out of one cash account which is recorded in
unrestricted current funds. At fiscal year-end, entries are made to properly reflect cash
balances by fund group. In addition, during the year, certain interfund borrowings occurred.
All of the amounts are payable within one year without interest. Individual interfund
balances outstanding at June 30, 1992, were as follows:
A.

$587,655 advanced during fiscal year ended June 30, 1985, by the
retirement of indebtedness fund to the unexpended plant fund
represents a loan used for the stadium lights project. The
College has requested State approval to use excess debt service
funds to repay this debt.

B.

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.

NOTE 13 - STUDENT LOANS RECEIVABLE AND OTHER ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
With minor exception, loan losses for student loans receivable and various accounts
receivable are established based upon losses experienced in prior years and evaluations of
the current loan and account portfolios. At June 30, 1992, the allowances for student loans
receivable in loan funds and accounts receivable in unrestricted current funds are valued at
$180;316 and $105,026, respectively.

NOTE 14 - CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND COMMITMENTS
The Citadel has obtained the necessary funding for the acquisition, construction, renovation,
and equipping of certain facilities. As of June 30, 1992, The Citadel had remaining
commitment balances of $2,799,457 of these funds with certain engineering firms, construction
contractors, and vendors. Management estimates that The Citadel will have sufficient
resources available to satisfactorily complete the construction of such projects which are
expected to be completed in varying phases over the next five years at an estimated total
cost of $12,368,131. Of the total cost, approximately $11,910,578 is unexpended at June 30,
1992.
.

NOTE 15 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS

CASH:
The State keeps certain monies in a pooled general deposit account and records each fund's
equity interest in the pool. The accounts classified as "Cash" in the financial statements·
include deposits with the State Treasurer on which earned interest is credited to the General
Fund of the State. Cash on deposit with the State Treasurer totalled$ 14,150,517 for the
year ended June 30, 1992.
A portion of this amount $ 2,140,135 is held by the State
Treasurer for debt service requirements or for bond proceeds. These funds are normally held
by the State Treasurer in investments pools. Investment information is not available at the
date of this report, accordingly this amount is classified as cash on The Citadel's balance
sheet.
State Law requires full collateralization of all State Treasurer bank balances. The State
Treasurer must correct any deficiencies in collateral within seven days. At June 30, 1992,
all State Treasurer bank balances were fully insured or collateralized with securities held
by the State or by its agents in the State's name.

INVESTMENTS:
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 the United States.
Other investments are stated at cost except those received as gifts which •are carried at
market value at the date of gift.
The carrying and market values of investments of the
various funds at each year-end are as follows:

NOTE 19 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Citadel has significant transactions with the State of South Carolina and various State
agencies.
Services received at no cost from State agencies include maintenance of certain accounting
records by the Comptroller General, banking and investment functions from the State
Treasurer, legal services from the Attorney General, grants services from the Governor's
Office, and records storage from the Department of Archives and History.
Other services received at no cost from the various divisions of the State Budget and Control

retirement and insurance plans contributions, surplus property disposal fees, insurance
coverage, office supplies, printing, and telephone, and inter agency mail. Significant
payments were also made for unemployment and workers' compensation coverage for employees.
The amounts of 1992 expenditures applicable to related party transactions are not readily
available.
The Citadel provided no services free of charge to other State agencies during the fiscal
year; however, The Citadel provided printing and facilities rental services to various State

NOTE 20 - CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION
The various federal programs administered by The Citadel for fiscal year 1992 and prior years
are subject to examination by the federal grantor agencies. At the present time, amounts
which may be due federal grantors, if any, have not been determined, but The Citadel believes
that any such amounts in the aggregate would not have a material adverse effect on the
financial statements.
The Citadel is involved in various suits arising from conducting the normal business of the
institution. The only current suit involving a claim for monetary damages involves a suit
by a former employee who is suing over his termination.
An unfavorable outcome in this
matter would not be expected to a have a material, adverse impact on the financial position
of the College.

inspections, and administrative matters during the period 22-25
July prior to departure for Scotland.
The trip was a huge
success and brought great publicity to The Citadel. A Citation

their appearance in the Tattoo was presented at parade on 4
October.
The Corps of Cadets performed well during School Year
1991-92. The year got off to a good start in the fall, with the
Athletic Cadre and Regimental Commander reporting on 5 August,
followed shortly by the arrival and training of the Fourth Class

resulted in continued improvement in personal appearance, mess
hall procedures, drill and ceremonies, and overall academic
performance.
At mid-term, the freshmen GPA was 1.67 ,
The following
actions were taken for all cadets below a 2.0 GPA:
A cadet

one priority is academic performance.

throughout the year hy their enthusiastic support of the varsity
athletic teams.

Cadet Regulations

The Blue Book continues to serve as a basic guide for
standards of conduct for the Corps of Cadets, and continued to
be favorably accepted by the Corps.
It proved its merit
throughout the School Year. Due to a lack of overall knowledge
of The Blue Book by cadets, a 50 question Blue Book test was
administered to 17 freshmen and 20 upperclassmen on 3 March to
determine time required and validity of the open book test.
A
Committee consisting of the Commandant, PMS, PNS, PAS, Assistant
Commandant, and two Tactical Officers are currently studying The
Blue Book.
Proposed changes or refinements are being sent to
the President for his approval. The objective is to have a reprint of The Blue Book by the beginning of School Year 1992-93.
For School Year 1992-93, cadets will certify by testing in
Physical Fitness, Blue Book, and the Honor Manual. Testing will
be administered the first day cadets arrive back from summer
leave.

and cleanliness of furniture in all barracks.
4.

Cadre and Fourth Class Training

The special emphasis placed on leadership and "traini~g
the trainer" was instrumental in the superb job the Cadre did in
training the members of the Class of 1995. The Cadre's approach
of being "firm but fair" , of setting the example, and treating
freshmen with dignity , continued.
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.
Leadership classes continued this year for all members of the
Corps, by class, and were held primarily on Tuesday during drill
periods.
Classes were conducted jointly by Tactical Officers
122

�and Cadet Company Commanders, on the company level.
Training Model was used as a training guide.

The Citadel

Drill and Ceremonies

The Corps' performance
during parades and
.reviews
continued to be outstanding.
The first Tuesday and Thursday
drill periods were better organized and executed.
Tuesday
drills emphasized
squad and platoon movements until Drill
Competition was completed for t4ose elements.
The Commandant
continued "Commanders' Time" the first Tuesday drill period of
each month as a result of communications, in his mind, being one
of the biggest problems in the Corps. Cadets were given topics
and also used their own to get information/policies to the
Corps. As a result, all levels of unit leadership were learning
and improving skills during these drill periods.
Honor Guard Ceremonies were continued during the School
Year. Special ceremonies were conducted by Company C, the Band,
and Color Guard. Highlights of parades and ceremonies conducted
this School Year follow: 13 September, Parade in honor of the

Alcohol and major violations of the Fourth Class System
continued to be the more serious disciplinary actions during
School Year 1991-92.
Of the 21 cadets who were referred to
Commandant Boards during the School Year, 3 were referred to the
Board for infractions where alcohol was a contributing factor.
The number of alcohol related cases increased from 34 in 1990-91
to 44 in 1991-92.
No cadets were referred to Commandant's
Boards due to drug related offenses.
7.

Substance Abuse Programs:

The zero tolerance policy regarding drugs continues to
be enforced. The Alcohol Abuse Program initiated in School Year

�1983-84 continued. This program requires all cadets involved in
disciplinary actions that were alcohol related, to report to The
Citadel's
Counseling
Center for
screening,
testing, and
counseling.
In addition to the 44 cadets who were alcohol
referrals in School Year 1991-92, the Student Counseling Center
enrolled 3 cadets in the program, who were self referrals. Self
referrals bring the overall total number of cadets involved in
the program for School Year 1991-92 to 47. Two cadets were self
referrals during School Year 1990-91. The following Substance
Abuse Programs were presented this School Year:
The first presentation on 5 September was mandatory for
First, Second and Third Classmen.
The speaker was Mr. Jim
Harrison, Citadel graduate and attorney on the ABC Commission in
Columbia, SC; a mandatory program for 3rd Classmen was held in
Mark Clark Hall on 17 October; on 6 December, Cadet Steele, a
member of "Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD)" lectured to
James Island High School Students on the dangers of drinking and
driving; a mandatory program for Second and Third Classmen was
held on 13 February in Mark Clark Hall; and a mandatory program
for Second and Third Classmen was held in Mark Clark Hall on 9
April.
Random drug tests were performed on 34 Fourth Classmen
on 7 April, with negative results in all cases; and tests were
performed on cadet athletes three times this School Year (once
in the Fall and twice this Spring) which included the NCAA
testing.
The Citadel received a Drug Free School Grant from the
State of · south Carolina, and as a result of the Grant, a special
counselor was hired to establish a peer education program for
cadets and a faculty and staff education program.
8.

Fourth Class Withdrawals

The Fourth Class withdrawal rate, for all causes during
School Year 1991-92 was 16.9% (105 of 622), compared with 17.7%
(114 of 645) for School Year 1990-91, and 15.9% (85 of 535) for
School Year 1989-90. 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
un-professionalism on the part of the Cadre.
Significant gains
continued to be ~oted in the overall quality of the Fourth Class
System.
9. Cadet Commanders' Retreat

125

�Due to the success of the Cadet Commanders' Retreat at
the St. Christopher Conference Center on Seabrook Island for two
days the weekend of 17-18 August 1991, the Commandant is
currently pla1ming a similar retreat for the coming School Year.
The purpose of the retreat is for the top ranking cadets to get
to know one another better, receive some training, and put
together their program for the 1992-93 School Year.
Cadet
Company, Battalion, and Regimental Commanders and the Regimental
Sergeant Major
participated.
All support, facilities and
instructors were excellent. Cost of the retreat was borne by
The Citadel Development Foundation. The site of the conference
for SY 1992-93 will be the Santee Cooper Wampee Conference
Center, Pinopolis, SC.
The six elements which are critical to
mission accomplishment are those that make up the "Whole Man"
(Honor; Academic; Military; Spiritual; Patriotism; Physical).
Objectives established during the conference for each goal or
element of the Whole Man follow:
Honor
Standard Honor briefings developed for each
company, presented and discussed quarterly during scheduled
sessions with the companies; Academics - The School Year GPA,
not Cumulative GPA for each class:
Freshmen 2.2 , Sophomores
2.4, Juniors 2.8, Seniors 3.0; foster positive team between
Tacs, Faculty Advisor and Cadets, enforce Evening Study Periods,
foster a climate of caring for all cadets toward academic
success and provide assistance where necessary; Military Success oriented for all classes,
positive leadership, no
hazing, communications and standards are the focuses, no more
than 9% loss for freshmen, review Fourth Class System to ensure
it meets the purpose; TEACH - MOTIVATE - DEVELOP, NOT ELIMINATEi
Spiritual - Work toward a goal of 35% of all cadets involved in
religious activities, and work toward a goal of 20% of each
company attending chapel; Patriotism - Continue to foster pride
in country through parades and other events on campus, honor our
country's dead and continue to remind cadets of our successes,
and hold one patriotic oriented parade per semester; Physical
Individual fitness should continue to be a cadet responsibility.
At the PT Test, the goal will be 85% of all cadets pass.
Intramurals should be voluntary but 100% of the cadets should
participate at the company level in either Intramurals, Club or
Varsity Sports, and no Intramural forfeits . Company PT Programs
are success oriented, whose purpose is team building, and
standards are:
Runs, no further than 2 miles, at 16 minutes, 'SO
Push-ups, 2 minutes, and 50 sit-ups, 2 minutes.
All cadets
should present a trim, neat appearance .
Actions were success and positive oriented.
Priority
for the Fourth Class System was toward the mess hall with all
cadets eating.
Leadership development through teaching and
responsibility was
always paramount.
Communications
and
enforcement of standards were given special focus and work.
Close enough was not good enough; cadets were taught and
corrected with positive, professional reinforcement. Following
is a summary of actions taken as a result of the Conference this

�past August.
Fourth Class System:
Knobs integrated for parade on
Friday, 6 September; Cadre terminated on 1 October; Push-up

January.

of Cadet Corporals

was again implemented in

Colonel Mayer met
with Tactical Officers and Cadet
Commanders concerning peer evaluations, and emphasized that
evaluations and counseling are key ingredients to leadership
development.
Peer evaluations were completed by classmates, in
rank order, the same as was done last year, using the following
criteria: Demonstrated Leadership, Military Bearing, Acceptance
of
Responsibility,
Communications
Skills,
Decisiveness,
.Judgment., Physical Conditioning, Initiative, and Team Player.
Academics (GPA of 2.00 for NCO rank and 2.25 for Captain and
above), and discipline were not used, but were applied during
the final selection process.
These evaluations were used by the
cadet commander to make a peer Order of Merit List (OML). The
commander and executive officer then evaluated the three classes
( freshn1en, sophomores and juniors), using the same procedures
outlined above.
The commander combined the peer evaluations,
company commander and executive officer evaluations,
into one
OML.
Each final class OML was co-signed by the Tac and
Commander and these OMLs were given to the Commandant on 3 and 4
March.
These class OMLs were used for ·r ank select ion and
selection for rank boards.
The commander had platoon le~ders
counsel each cadet of the lower three classes, in his platoon,
so that each cadet knew, in writing, where he stood in his
company OML.
All cadets assigned at the Regimental Staff and
Battalion levels were evaluated with their companies.
Senior
Rank Boards met in April to select Captains and above, and
Junior Rank Boards met
during the same period to select
Sergeants Major, Master Sergeants, First Sergeants, and Supply
Sergeants. General Watts presented gold chevrons to the six top
ranking cadets for SY 1992-93 at a ceremony in his office on 4
May.

reward for the win over USMA in football on 12 October.
Saturday Morning Inspections reflected considerable work by
members of the Corps.
Colonel Mayer's policy for supervision of
the Corps during the exam period showed a dramatic improvement
in standards. Beginning on 9 December, and until the beginning
of Christmas Furlough, Colonels Mayer and Dick were present for
breakfast, and all Tacs and Colonels inspected rooms for MRI

13. PT Program
The Physical Training Program was conducted
by the
Commandant.

14. Mess Hall
A reduction of noise level in the ~ess Hall continues.
Emphasis continued to be placed on good manners and allowing the
Fourth Classmen to eat a full meal without harassment.
Since
the Commandant stopped "square meals" in the mess hall on 4
December, there have been no problems from the Corps. The Corps
128

�Squad Mess Policy was refined and republished
for Second
Semester, to indicate seating (Breakfast: North end downstairs;

field training exercises for cadets bound for the Advanced
Summer Camp.
The culmination of this year's training was the
week long "Mini-Camp" ' held 11-19 May '92 at Fort Jackson, SC.

Future Developments

The Battalion will continue to strive to recruit top
quality cadets into the Army program to train, retain and to
commission them as lieutenants upon graduation. We strive for
excellence in
leadership,
and want
the whole
man
who
demonstrates the military, academic, spiritual and physical
requirements necessary to become a quality officer.
Currently
over 100 rising juniors are completing the paperwork to he
contracted fn August '92.
This is twice the number that
contracted in August '91.
We have made numerous improvements to
our facilities and program.
The detachment has developed
student work books for each MS level,
a state-of-the-art
briefing and an aggressive counselling program.
During the
December '91 command of The Citadel's Army Detachment, the
inspection team chief stated "The Citadel is the best ROTC
Battalion in Cadet Command."
The Detachment received numerous
commendable ratings. We are proud of what we have accomplished,
and we will continue to work hard providing the training,
equipment and material necessary to train and educate the cadets
on the opportunities of the Total Army Force: the Active Army, .
the Army Reserves, and the Army National Guard.
To attract Army scholarship winners to The Citadel, this
year The Citadel will offer a $2,500 supplement to all four year
Army Scholarship winners and free room for three year advanced
Designee scholarship winners.

Operations

During the Academic Year 1991-1992, the Department of
Aerospace Studies made a number of changes to bolster recruiting
of qualified officer candidates.
The greatest improvement has
been better tracking of officer candidate application packages
with an emphasis on persuading higher headquarters to favor our
nominees.
As a
result, we obtained
37 FY 94
officer
allocations--one of our best recruiting years.
We have also
expanded our efforts to contact four- and three-year College
Scholarship Program recipients, resulting in an increase from 2
to 11 the number of recipients choosing to at.tend The Citadel.
An aggressive letter mailout campaign has been implemented to
contact every rising
senior to advise them of Air F6rce
opportunities. Despite the increased competition for dwindling
Air Force scholarship monies, we have also contacted every
eligible Citadel Cadet to convince them to apply for an Air
Force ROTC two or three year scholarship; we succeeded in
getting four additional cadets on scholarship.
As of May 1992,
we had 532 cadets enrolled in Air Force ROTC classes.
We
commissioned 16 officers in FY 92 and expect to commission
roughly the same number in FY 93.
Beginning with FY 94, we
expect the number of commissionees to rise above 30.
We
continue to fine-tune the academic curriculum by incorporating
guest speakers and officer caree1· panels in our lectures.
We

142

�are currently in the process of rev1s1ng several courses to
incorporate the latest Air Force restructuring changes, Air
Force doctrine, and Total Quality Management concepts.
3~

Extracurricular Activities

The Department of Aerospace Studies continued to engage in
many activities to enhance the cadets' knowledge of the Air
Force mission.

Citadel graduate who shot down two MIGs, an A-10 pilot who was
held as a POW during Desert Storm, C-141 pilots who airlifted
critical supplies to the Commonwealth of Independent States and
the
Arctic, and the Charleston
AFB Combat Support Group
Commander.
To supplement classroom lectures and give cadets
"hands-on exposure to the Air Force, we revitalized incentive
programs that were dormant due to Desert Shield/Storm.
We
arranged for 20 aircraft orientation flights, 39 cadets to
accompany officers one-on-one for a day, and 321 cadets to visit
seven military bases, enhancing their USAF knowledge. We also
implemented marksmanship, land navigation, chemical warfare, F16 simulator rides, and confidence course training for 452
cadets generating more interest in commissions .
Cadets also
organized a field day in which the cadre played sports with the
students, followed by lunch.
To honor the Air Force birthday ,
for the fifth year in a row, cadets planned a highly successful
di1mer and invited several high ranking military and community
members.
A flyover by four F-15 aircraft from Eglin AFB,
Florida , highlighted the week-long celebration of the Air Force
Birthday as well as POW/MIA Day.
The Citadel Roland F . Wooten

Future Plans

Our biggest challenge for FY 93 is to increase the numher
of commissionees.
We have already strengthened our program . for
counseling cadets
about the
advantages of an
Air Force
commission and will focus on streamlining our procedures for
even
quicker
processing of
officer
candidate nomination
packages.
We will continue to schedule activities that are
"fun" for cadets to do.
We will focus on commiss icming high
quality officers while doing everything within our power to
ensure cadets have the hest chance of pursuing a commission. We
will focus on ensuring our contract cadets take advantage of all
available leadership training at The Citadel.
We expect our
rising contract sophomores, juniors, and seniors to hold rank
and to set the example for the other cadets in the Corps of
Cadets.
After FY 93, we expect a bright futnre for AFROTC when
143

�we start commissioning more than 30 officers a year.

3.

Extracurricular Activities

The Department's Guest Lecture Program is designed to
enhance NROTC midshipmen knowledge of the Navy and Marine Corps
missions. and also to broaden their outlook and increase their
exposure to a variety of views, opinions, and insights regarding
the topical issues facing the Naval Services.
Topic items
addressed included the leadership challenges facing
junior
officers in the Marine Corps;
organization, structure and
mission of NATO's military arm; combat leadership; life as a
career Naval officer: Command Master Chief orientation for
junior off ice1·s; military law, submarine operations; nuclear
power
program career
opportunities;
capabilities of
the
Navy/Marine Corps Air/Ground Team; the role of a junior officer

the Marine Corps Security Forces; and the duties and
responsibilities of junior naval aviators.
The Naval ROTC Unit, The Citadel, is busy this summer
coordinating cruises for over 41 cadets.
Cadet Timothy Dremann
(Marine junior), was selected to attend Mountain Leader Warfare
School.
All of the senior Marine cadets attended Officers'
Candidate School (Bulldog) in Quantico, Virginia .
The unit also
supported 3 two week offshore sailing sessions from Charleston
to Fort Myers, Florida and back.
The Rebellion Reach, NSY-17,
logged almost
1000 miles
underway in
the training
and
qualification of 18 midshipmen from 6 different universities.

144

�During the past year, the unit hosted the Marine Corps
Battle Color Detachment, Washington, DC; Ms. Ada Hunt from the
BOOST School, San Diego, CA; Commander R. Rish, Nuclear Program
Officer
USS Blue Fish (SSN-675);
General Carl E. Mundy,
Commandant, US Marine Corps and Master Chief Bradway, Command
Master Chief, Mine Group II, Charleston.
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, a MiniSurface Warfare Officer Course for newly commissioned Ensigns as
preparation for their first training assignment; and a Marineoption field training exercise at Parris Island, SC, for 51
Marine-option
personnel, which
focused
on the
practical
application of classroom
instruction.
In addition,
unit
perso1mel managed the embarkation of over 100 midshipmen, via
Charleston, from other NROTC units across the country and from
the US Naval Academy; participated in 6 college weekend visitor
programs and 4 football recruiting weekends; escorted 80 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 a MECEP student to

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 he well above the college average.
During the spring CNET Scholarship Selection Board, 8 Citadel
NROTC cadets were selected out of 12 applicants for a 66 per
cent selection rate. MECEP students continue to set a sterling
example for our midshipmen with an aggregate grade point average
of 3.2, while our Navy Enlisted Commissioning Program students
finished the year with a 3.6 aggregate grade point average.
To further emphasize academic excellence our department
has continued a NROTC supervised study hall 1900-2200 on Monday
through Thursday evenings.
The program began in Fall semester
1990.
This coupled with weekly counselling by NROTC class
advisors should provide a sense of concern for our students.
G. Student Activities

ADMINISTRATION

Personnel Services:

During FY 1991-92, the Department of Personnel and
Administrative Services continued to report directly to the Chief

department as the Personnel Department continued to provide full
service to Citadel faculty and staff in all aspects of personnel
administration and management.
Following are
significant
accomplishments during FY 1991-92:
1. Central Computer Services: The Personnel Office was
successful in enhancing the human resource series (HRS) of the
college computer, with the assistance of assigned Information
Resources Management (IRM) program analyst, making it more
functional.
Personnel changes are still reported directly to the
Division of Human Resource Management (DHRM) through on-line data
entry.

Benefit Programs:

a.
Health Program:
There was no increase in
employee health insurance premiums in 1992.
The 1991 rates
remained in effect despite year-to-year Plan expenditure growth of
18.7%, and an increase in the State share of the premium of only
1.75%, meaning that The Citadel now pays $132.83 - up from $130.55
for health insurance coverage for each member of the faculty and
staff. The 1991 employee rates remained in effect for two reasons:
1) reserves were determined to be sufficient to absorb losses that
were expected to occur in 1992, and 2) the. Plan adopted fixed-price
reimbursement for inpatient hospital services effected 1 January
1992.
1)
state Health Plan Hospital Network:
Effective 1 January 1992, participants in the State Health Plan
were given a provider network of hospitals in South Carolina from
which to choose for their inpatient care.
The State Health Plan
now allows participating hospitals a pre-determined amount per
diagnosis.
The key to the State Health Plan Hospital Network is
that participating hospitals cannot bill participants for any
charges for covered services above the pre-determined amount aside
from applicable deductibles and coinsurance.
By receiving
inpatient care at these hospitals, State Health Plan participants
are able to save money because inpatient charges for most diagnoses
are limited to a pre-determined maximum. Participants who choose
to receive inpatient care at non-participating hospitals will be
responsible for any charges over the allowable charges. These noncovered charges cannot be applied to the deductible and are not
subject to the copayment and out-of-pocket limit. By establishing
the State Health Plan Hospital Network, the State can ensure
participants the same sound, comprehensive coverage while not
raising premiums--even in this age of rising health care cost.

2)
Maternity Management Program: This program
is now offered to all pregnant women covered by the State Health
Plan at no extra cost.
The program is designed to identify high
risk factors early in a pregnancy in an effort to reduce the risk
of complications of pregnancy.
The program begins with the precertification and screening process and continues throughout the
course of the pregnancy whereby an experienced maternity nurse
contracts the pregnant member at pre-arranged dates and times to
counsel, advise, and answer questions. Crawford &amp; Company (MediCall) is the administrator.
3)
Medi-Call, a case management program, is
still mandatory. The Crawford Company is the administrator of the
program. Medi-Call is designed to assist members with their health
care.

152

�4)
Mammography
Testing
Program:
The
Mammography Testing Program has expanded as of 1 January 1992 to
include paying a $50 benefit (to a participating facility) for
routine mammograms for State Health Plan participants and their
eligible dependents if in the 35 to 75 age range.
Any charges
above $50 will be charged to participants, applied to their
deductible (if applicable) and subject to their copayment up to
out-of-pocket maximum. The participating facilities list is updated
periodically and available to employees.
5)
The Pap Smear Program is still in effect.
Under the terms of this program, covered employees, retirees and
dependents of employees and retirees between the ages of 18 and 65
may receive a $15 benefit each year before the deductible.
Eligible participants can choose where to have the pap smear
performed.
6)
Student Certification: The requirement to
submit documentation on letterhead stationery from the institution
to certify that a dependent is enrolled or attend school as a fulltime student has been discontinued.
A dependent must be
recertified annually on or before his/her birthday. Enrollment is
monitored and notifications sent to participants ninety (90) days
prior to the dependent's birthday, which must be completed, signed,
dated, and returned promptly to the Personnel Office.
Full-time
students are not eligible for coverage, regardless of age, if they
lose full-time student status, marry or are permanently employed.

b.
Health Maintenance Organizations
CHM0 1 s):
HealthSource and Companion continue to be servicing HMO's in the
tri-county area. There was a small premium increase for both HMO's
effective 1 January 1992 with only slight changes in benefits.
c.
Catastrophic Insurance:
These optional,
supplemental plans help pay the high cost of a catastrophic illness
such as cancer, heart attacks, strokes, etc.
Benefits are paid
directly regardless of hospital major medical plans. Colonial Life
and American Family are the carriers. There is no open enrollment,
so one can enroll anytime. Coverage could cover hospital, doctor,
transportation, therapy, special clothing,
food, medication,
supplies, and care-related equipment bills.
d.
Dental Benefits:
The State Dental Program
administered by R.E. Harrington continues to be a viable, efficient
program.
There will be no dental open enrollment until October
1993. Faculty and Staff who did not enroll in the dental program
at the time of initial employment or during an open enrollment
period cannot make an add or change in the dental program until
open enrollment.
e.
MoneyPlus Program:
Hunt, Dupree and Rhine
continues to be the carrier for the Money-Plus Program which is a

l53

�unique way to save money by using pretax earnings to pay for
insurance premiums, dependent day-care, and medical spending. Each
feature of Money-Plus has its own _fee schedule.
f.
Life Insurance Programs:
Premiums for the
Optional Life Insurance (OLI) Program and the Optional Supplemental
Life Insurance (OSLI) Program (Carrier for both programs is The
Hartford Life Insurance Company) were increased effective 1 January
1992. OLI premiums increased by 15.5% and OLSI premiums increased
between 22 to 65%. Participants must be enrolled in the Standard
Optional Life or show medical evidence of good health in order to
participate in the Optional Supplemental Life program. Under the
Optional Supplemental Life Insurance Plan, one may select either
$15,000 or $25,000, regardless of salary level.
Members may
participate in both programs at any time by completing a medical
evidence of good health form for approval/disapproval of Hartford
Life.
With OLI and OSI premium increases with The Hartford Life
Insurance Company, participants should now consider the preretirement, pre-tax life insurance program offered by the Provident
Life Insurance Company, a program designed especially for members
of The Citadel faculty and staff.

g.

Retirement Benefits:

1) Effective 1 July 1991, the s.c. Retirement
systems was authorized by law to increase the employer contribution
rate to cover the cost of providing health and dental insurance to
retirees covered by the State heal th and dental plans.
The
increase rate (from 1.435% to 1.641% results in reviewed employer
contribution rates for FY 1991-92 as follows:
s.c. Retirement System
9.191%
Police Officers Retirement System 11.941%
2) Participants in the s. C. Retirement Systems
(SCRS) may now purchase additional retirement service through an
installment plan.
Military service, withdrawal service, and any
other service credit requiring a contribution by the employee are
types of service that can be purchased through an Installment
Purchase of Retirement Service Credit Program.
In addition
participating SCRS members may now name a different beneficiary for
the Group Life Insurance benefit (one year's salary after one
year's employment) .
Participating Optional Retirement Program
members now get 4.25% of matching contributions when they leave
active employment with The Citadel.
h.
Dependent Life Insurance Program: Effective 1

In-service Training and career Development:

Opportunities for in-service training and career
development programs were planned and offered to members of the
faculty and staff, although limited this year because of budget
restraints.
Programs opportunities provided by other State
agencies for employees were advertised and promoted, and NewEmployee
Orientation
Programs were held monthly
for
new
staff/faculty.

H.

Development

The 1991-92 fiscal year was marked by continuing efforts to solicit private
funds to support all areas of The Citadel. ·
The year saw the successful completion of the Inaugural Campaign. Over $1
million was received in gifts and pledges and those funds in conjunction with
funds from other sources, enabled the college to retire its debt. Debts retired
or bonded include a note due to The Citadel Development Foundation for Seignious
Hall, varying amounts for the Lockwood Field purchase and athletic field
improvements, and an obligation for the Faculty Quarters Project.
Several new programs were implemented in the second half of the year,
including an Annual Fund appeal to graduate and evening college alumni, a
Parents' Fund, and an increased emphasis on corporate and foundation fundraising.
Although it is too early to judge the success of these initiatives, they promise
to have significant impact on the college's development efforts in the years to
come.
In addition, fundraising efforts to support the Sesquicentennial were
begun, and the college already has received over $20,000 in gifts and pledges
designated for the celebration.
The following represent total cash contributions and gifts-in-kind to the
college (excluding gifts to The Citadel Development Foundation and the Brigadier
Club) for the past year:

Several gifts deserve special note. The Citadel renewed a relationship with
the Robert R. McCormick Charitable Trust, which made a generous gift of $38,000
to provide furnishings for the Robert R. McCormick Beach House once renovations
of the house are completed. The college also received six figure bequests from
the estates of Frank W. Munnerlyn '35 and Jonas S. Heiss '26.
During 1991-92, the Development Office experienced an 80 percent turnover
in staff, Staffing changes included the departure of James A. Adams, Director
of Development, Samuel B. Jones, Assistant Director for Development Operations
and Linda R. Laird, Office Manager; and the addition of Melissa Gill, Assistant
Director of Development/Foundation and Corporate Relations, replacing Jae Powell,
who had left The Citadel in 1990. Although the Development Office operated under
a 60 percent staff reduction for most of the year, private support to the college
for fiscal 1991-92 remained strong.

�I.

Alumni Affairs/Publications/Placement

The school year 1991-92 was very successful in terms of the number of alumni
and cadets that the services and programs offered by the alumni office reached.
This office continues to provide a focal point, especially for Citadel alumni,
for maintaining support of the mission of The Citadel.
The services and programs that the Alumni Affairs/Placement office conducts
are enumerated in the following report.
During the school year 1991-92, this office continued to develop a strong
relationship with the alumni through efforts such as Homecoming, alumni records
and dues, travel, area clubs, CAPP, alumni career network, coordinated support
of development groups (i.e., The Brigadier Club, CDF, and the the Athletic
Department), legislative matters; and updating our alumni on important campus and
alumni news items through the Alumni News and Through the Sally Port
publications. A description of the more important aspects of these services and
programs are provided.
1.

Alumni Records

The dynamics of alumni records required approximately 4500 plus address
and biographical changes and/or updating.
This area is an important concern
because of the need of accurate up-to-date lists. Any advancement or development
actions by The Citadel is affected by this effort.
2.

Alumni Dues Program

The membership dues program consisted of over 30,200 contacts. These
contacts generated over 8,800 life and annual memberships.
Some 52% of our
alumni are active dues paying members. Again, The Citadel remains in an elite
group of colleges and universities that maintain a high degree of functionally
active alumni.
3.

Alumni Travel and Marketing

The marketing and travel programs remain a vital part of the opportunity
for the alumni office and Association to meet its mission. Some 17,600 contacts
with alumni and friends of The Citadel were made. These contacts provided an
opportunity to participate in our alumni travel program. Trips to the Amazon,
Antarctica, the Caribbean and the New England coast and Canada were offered.
Six major new or on-going marketing programs were presented;
These
efforts provided another avenue of contact generating over 30,000 individual
points of interest.
A new and joint effort with the Gift Shop offered The
Citadel merchandise line of clothes and souvenirs. On-going programs included
the credit card, Dialing for the Dogs, barracks miniature and a Waterman pen set.
The license plate program has been a surprising hit with our constituents.
Besides individual contacts, the majority of these programs were also marketed
through the Alumni News.

CAPP

The effort to revitalize the CAPP program was energized through the
combined energy of a strong volunteer alumni group, the Admissions office and the
alumni office.
The logistical support from the alumni office and the alumni
association helped produce the first published CAPP Handbook. In addition, a 1800 telephone number was installed in the Alumni House to expedite the recruiting
efforts of the CAPP volunteers at the grass roots level. This line provides for
instant access to answers and to material requests. Several workshops were also
held to enlighten volunteers. The critical work of this effort will benefit the
enrollment process and the resulting student body size as well as empower our
alumni to be more active in marketing their alma mater. The Association and some
individual volunteers have contributed countless hours and significant dollars
to ensure CAPP's participation . in the admissions process.
5.

Alumni Clubs

The area alumni clubs have again provided an arena for the dissemination
of information, alumni networking, development and social opportunities for many,
many alumni. Coordinated efforts have given the President's office, staff, and
alumni office a forum for presenting key items of interest to our alumni.
The alumni area clubs have also continued their efforts to support
campus and alumni programs through volunteer efforts. Over 65 clubs maintain an
active schedule of meetings and events. These clubs have provided a means for
support of CAPP, the Brigadier Club, Governmental Affairs, scholarship funds,
athletic game socials, alumni career networking, Homecoming and alumni elections.
A variety of resources are used by these clubs to show their support.
From
fundraising to volunteer time to providing an opportunity for fellow alumni to
meet and trade stories, these clubs make the alumni bonds grow stronger. The
Alumni Career Network is proving to be one of the most vital services ever
offered to our students and alumni.
6.

Scholarships and Endowments

Monies from the Alumni Association Scholarship and Endowment Funds were
used to support cadet scholarships.
More than $151,000 from 11 separate
endowments provided over 30 full and partial scholarships.
7.

Homecoming, Reunions and Related Activities

Last year's Homecoming information Center has now become a central part
of Homecoming registration.
Hundreds of alumni updated their biographical
information on the spot at the center. The annual reception and banquet, reunion
class support, jamboree, pre-and-post game receptions and reunion gatherings were
well attended.
An estimated 7,000 alumni and friends returned to campus to
celebrate Homecoming.
8.

Governmental Affairs

Volunteer efforts of members of the alumni association are always
critical to successful alumni programs. In particular, the Governmental Affairs
Committee was the force behind the success of the Legislative Barbecue. Over
2,000 alumni, friends, supporters and members of state government attended the
1/2

�barbecue. This body has played a vital role in complementing the college's ongoing governmental relations effort.
9.

Alumni Game Socials

Every football game in 1991 had an athletic game social sponsored by
this office.
Highlights were alumni gatherings at and trips to West Point,
William and Mary and the Oyster Bowl. Home football games were scenes for openhouse receptions at the Alumni House and the National Guard Armory. During the
winter, the Southern Conference Basketball Tournament in Asheville provided the
setting for another athletic game social.
10.

Publications

The Alumni News and Through the Sally Port continue to provide the everimportant communications link between alumni and their school.
These
publications resulted in over 100,000 individual pieces of information and not
solicitation mailings.
The standard four issues of each publication were
produced.
The Alumni News continues to provide a high quality magazine with
substantial content. Positive comments about this publication are indicative of
its quality and effort being put forth by the publications staff.
Also, the Alumni News, with its centerfold outline of clubs and club
contacts, continues to be recognized as a major factor in the formation of new
clubs as well as the rebirth of older clubs that have been inactive.
11.

Various Other Services

The support by this office for the President-Emeritus remains at a very
high, efficient level. Likewise, the alumni office supports additional services
such as class ring administration, alumni house rental, alumni association board
and committee meetings (approximately 12 different types during the last year),
community and business functions, support of other campus and alumni concerns,
and an annual senior class dinner.
12.

Sesquicentennial

The alumni office is providing support and leadership for planning and
executing the celebration of the school's 150th birthday.
13.

Placement

The Placement office continues to provide resources to cadets, graduate
students, alumni, and the community.
An appreciable increase in activities
related to alumni was evident. As the Gulf War ended and the military services
started to conduct reduction in forces, this office provided resources for those
alumni separating from the service. Therefore, Alumni Career Network requests
increased. Another factor in this increase was due to career changes by alumni
affected by the recessive economy. And with less than 30\ of graduating seniors
going on active duty, there are more and more demands for services by graduating
seniors. The national trend is for companies to do less on-campus recruiting.
This trend is caused by several reasons: economics; companies are changing their
recruiting philosophies to use other methods to recruit, for example, third party

173

�recruiting by "head hunters"; larger companies are decentralizing their human
resources/recruiting divisions. Herein lies the reason we saw fewer companies
recruiting on campus, but requesting more resume referrals and pre-screening.
Through this, we maintained a high level of interview opportunities (over 600).
Also, we estimated at least a 20% increase in our efforts urging companies to
recruit on campus. A summary of placement office activity is attached.

Public Relations and Governmental Affairs

Public Relations

The Citadel was listed for the fourth consecutive year by U. S. News and
World Report as one of "Ameri~a' s Best Colleges."
The rating, ninth among
Southern Regional Colleges and Universities, as listed in the 1992 annual college
edition, published 30 September 1991, contributed to a positive year for the
college from an aspect of public relations.
Campus tours for groups from the lowcountry, and those visiting the
city, increased during the reporting period. Sixty-six groups, versus 58 for the
previous year, formally requested campus tours or seating for Friday afternoon
parades.
This increase can be attributed to several factors; The Citadel is
featured in the City Visitors Center display of attractions, publications on the
college were distributed to the Visitors Center and Welcome Centers located on
interstates leading into the state, and the Association of City Tour guides were
provided a tour of the campus at their request because of increased interest in
the institution by out of town tourists.
National and international attention was focused on the college during
the year when The Citadel Band and Pipe Band represented the United States of
America in Scotland at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo during the month of August.
Citadel cadets played a key role as Ambassadors for the City of
Charleston during the annual conference of Fortune 500 executives held in
November.
Selected cadets escorted families and some of America's leading
business men during the conference . In September, the Ryder Cup golf tournament
featured The Citadel Pipe Band and Band in its official ceremonies that were
included in the Professional Golf Association's Ryder Cup video. Attention was
again focused on the Band when it performed in Charleston for the President of
the United States on 21 February 1992.
2.

Governmental Affairs

The most significant piece of legislation regarding The Citadel that
surfaced in the 1992 General Assembly was a vote in the House Education committee
regarding House Bill 3150, which, if passed, would call for admission of women
into the Corps of Cadets. The Bill was defeated, in Committee, on 4 February by
a vote of 14 to 1.
William E. Jenkinson III was elected to the Board of Visitors by the
General Assembly.
He replaced Colonel George C. James who did not seek reelection. Stephen D. Peper was elected by the General Assembly to fill the Board
of Visitors' seat occupied by William R. Risher. Colonel Risher died in April.

Summer Camp for Boys

Celebrating the 36th Anniversary of the program's establishment by General
Mark Clark in 1957, the camp staff welcomed to the first session 146 boys from
17 states. Approximately half of those boys are residents of South Carolina.
General Watts opened that session on Sunday, June 14 and closed it on Saturday,
July 4 as 145 boys graduated . The second session opened on Sunday, July 12 with
199 boys from 20 states, Mexico, France, Spain, Saudi Arabia, and England. The
second session closed on Saturday, August 1 with 198 boys graduating. General
Watts addressed the campers during graduation exercises.
Last year's final
enrollment was 354 for both sessions. This year's final enrollment was 343.
The camp employed approximately 60 cadets, alumni, and former campers as
counselors and senior staff members.
Scholarships totaling $2,500 was awarded by the camp this se ~~ ion.
Outstanding cadet counselors were Jason Buda (a rising junior in Kilo Company)
from Tampa, Florida (First Session), and Leroy Marshall (a rising junior in Band
Company) from Spartanburg, South Carolina, (Second Session).

The Civil Engineering program was granted full accreditation by the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
The evening engineering
program is making excellent progress with a full time program coordinator being
hired and a more aggressive community education and recruitment effort started.
The Electrical Engineering day program was re-accredited by the Accreditation
Board for Engineering and Technology.
Grimsley Hall, the new Electrical
Engineering and Physics Building was dedicated in November 1991, and The Graham
Copeland Auditorium in Grimsley Hall was dedicated in 1992.
The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education approved a program
leading to the M.Ed. in School Administration to be offered by The Citadel at
Francis Marion College.
The Citadel Development Foundation funded The Citadel's 19' 1-92 grant
request in the amount of $1.682 million. Funds from the foundat:ion supported
scholarships, grants, faculty development and research, seminars and conferences,
cadet travel, and recognition of faculty achievement. In the second year since
the establishment of Academic Impact Fund, these funds continued to support
worthwhile efforts aimed at enriching the academic experiences of our students.
The Citadel-Burke High School collaboration, Project Challenge, continues
to be an asset to the community.
Under this program, the first graduating
seniors were granted $72,000 in scholarships. We were contacted by a research
firm hired by the U. S. Department of Education, and we will be included in their
catalog of successful, nationally recognized, high school/college collaborative
programs. Top academic honors at Burke High School for grade levels 9-12 went
to "Project Challenge" students.
The financial aid process has been enhanced this year with the addition of
a full time director and expanded utilization of the SIS computer system. With
the recession, more financial aid and scholarship assis t ance requests are being
made. Total aid for students for 1991-92, including FOTC and Athletic Grants,
totaled $6,983,634 with 2,781 recipients.
During this year, major strides were made tow£ d upgrading The Citadel's
campuswide local area network now called Citnet . Almost all faculty and deskbased staff are connected to the college's campuswide VAX network.
The
development of Coastnet allows computer users at member organizations to
communicate easily with each other through electronic mail and the use of each
other's computer services, especially library services. All students, faculty
and staff now have convenient access to the Internet, the international computer
network that links schools and colleges, military and government agencies, and
businesses and non-profit organizations .

�The third floor of the Daniel Library was renovated. This created more
space for the library. Ten thousand visitors toured the Museum during the year
and forty-four researchers used the archival collections while over 250 written
and oral requests for information were received from national and international
sources.
Great strides were made in the completion of several capital improvement
projects; the new mess hall, Vandiver Hall and Grimsley Hall were all completed.
Work on the design of the new barracks was initiated and is now well on its way,
with the engineering firm of Davis and Floyd working on the construction drawings
phase of the project.
This project, when completed, will replace the four
existing barracks, with the first barracks being constructed on the site of old
Coward Hall.
Fiscal Year 1991-92 continued the downward trend in funding for Higher
Education in South Carolina which started in Fiscal Year 1989-90 and continued
in FY 1990-91. Fiscal Year 1990-91 was initially funded at 87.8% but was reduced
by 3% during the year. Fiscal Year 1991-92 was initially funded at only 80.3%
of the Commission of Higher Education Formula.
That was then reduced by a
Governor's veto of .6% in June, and was followed by a 1% cut from the Budget and
Control Board on 30 July as well as a directive to sequester 2% of the
appropriations until a final decision as of 1 January 1992. Those funds were
subsequently withdrawn. Finally, an additional 1% reduction was directed by the
Budget and Control Board on 11 February 1992. The final level of funding after
the four cuts noted above was only 75.7% of the CHE Formula. As a result of this
extremely low level of funding, the lowest for Higher Education in at least ten
years, The Citadel had to take unusual measures to absorb the cuts and still
provide the quality academic offerings required. The college extended its hiring
delay from 12 weeks to 16 weeks; we further cut non-personnel support areas such
as supplies, travel, and contractual services; and we instituted a struct control
over energy use in an effort to reduce utilities costs. Finally, on 11 May 1992,
the President directed a complete freeze on expenditures of non-personnel funds
except for those purchases required to support Summer School or to support the
Physical Plant's requirements for approved projects. As a result of these severe
budget reduction measures, the college was able to finish the fiscal year "in the
black."
The Citadel Trust, Incorporated, became an incorporated entity as of 1 July
1992 in accordance with authority granted by the South Carolina General Assembly.
The new eleemosynary corporation was established to assume responsibility for the
investment management of the college's scholarship and other endowment funds
which had previously been managed by The Citadel Board of Visitors.
The college again received an "unqualified" opinion on its audited
financial statements for Fiscal Year 1990-91. This attests to the good financial
practices at the college, and it is a positive factor to be considered when the
college issues bonds.
Preliminary action has been initiated with the State Treasurer's staff and
bond attorneys to develop information required in the event the college
determines that it will fund at least a portion of the cost of the anticipated
barracks renovation project by the issue of Revenue Bonds. Such an issue would
most likely involve the largest single bond issue in the college's history and
would require very detailed documentation of the college's financial viability

�and projected stream of barracks fees revenue to support the debt service
payments required.
The Citadel continues to benefit from its designation as a Service
Educational Activity (SEA) by the Department of Defense.
This designation
permits the college to gain priority access to Department of Defense surplus
property at minimal cost to the college. The Citadel obtained property valued
at more than $153,000 this fiscal year to include heavy equipment, general
maintenance supplies, and other equipment.
The Gift Shop store sales have been exceptional considering the economic
conditions for FY 1991-92. As of year end, store receipts totaled $1,341,857,
an increase over last year of $97,800. The first year of a vending services
contract with WOMETCO has been profitable for the college.
More than the
guaranteed commissions are expected due to the increased sales for snack food
machines. Negotiations with the contractor to ensure continued improvement in
the volume of canned drink sales are in progress. Plans are being finalized for
a new snack bar and fountain service facility. When completed, the new facility
will be located in the area which previously housed the bowling alley. This will
allow expansion of the . Gift Shop and will provide additional space for
merchandise display and employee work areas. An in-depth study and review of
both the Cadet Store and the Gift Shop services for the feasibility to contract
such services has been ongoing this fiscal year.
The recommendations of an
independent committee of faculty and staff members were due to the President
early in FY 1992-93.
The Dining Services accomplished its move from Coward Hall to the new Cadet
Dining Facility on 17 August. The first meal, lunch, was served on 18 August to
the incoming band members of the Class of 1995. Family style meals were served
to approximately 2, 000 cadets during the school year, and approximately 400
campers enrolled in the Summer Camp for Boys program.
School Year 1991-92 was a year of quality performance by the Corps of
Cadets.
The mature leadership of the Regimental Commander, his staff and
subordinate commanders contributed immeasurably to smooth operations. Objectives
were established and actions taken to enforce them, as a result of the Cadet
Commanders' Retreat at the St. Christopher Conference Center on Seabrook Island
this past August. The Cadre's professional, no-nonsense approach to their duties
resulted in continued improvement in personal appearance, mess hall procedures,
drill and ceremonies, and physical training, as well as overall academic
performance.
At mid- term, first semester, the freshman GPA was 1. 6 7.
The
following actions were taken for all cadets below a 2.0 GPA: A Cadet Academic
SOP was published which included Supplementary Study Period (SSP) mandatory from
1400-1800 on Sunday; Cadet Commanders enforced ESP, used totors and other aids;
two weeks prior to finals, all cadet activities terminated to allow for focus on
studies. Freshmen grades improved to 2.12 GPA. Colonel Mayer worked with The
Citadel Writing Center to develop a program on Academic Excellence to help cadets
improve their study skills. Selected cadets attended classes in order to help
freshmen, and Colonel Mayer reinforced with Cadet Academic Officers, NCOs and
Corporals, his policy on quality study time for all cadets. The average GPA for
this School Year is 2.708 and for Freshmen 2.387. The Corps' performance and'
general morale were enhanced throughout the year by the performance of the
varsity athletic teams. We began the year with a total of 1978 (1356 upper class
and 622 fourth class) cadets assigned to the Corps. Beginning second semester,

�Corps strength was 1867 (1342 upper class and 525 fourth class). We lost a total
of 105 fourth classmen which compares favorably to previous years.
Although
major renovations remain in the future, the general status of the barracks has
improved since 1989 as a result of General Watts' renovation of Barracks #4, to
include the painting and renovation of furniture. Also, rooms and furniture in
Barracks Nos. 2 and 3 have been repaired and painted. Initiatives currently
underway are painting and repair of furniture in Barracks #l. Issue of cleaning
materials to all companies has improved the appearance and cleanliness of
furniture in all barracks. Peer evaluations were accomplished by classmates, in
rank order, using the following criteria:
Demonstrated Leadership, Military
Bearing, Acceptance of Responsibility, Communications Skills, Decisiveness,
Judgment, Physical Conditioning, Initiative, and Team Player. Evaluations were
combined into one Order of Merit List (OML), and these class OMLs were used for
rank selection and selection for rank boards.
Each cadet knows, in writing,
where he stands in his company OML."
This year saw the successful completion of the Inaugural Campaign. Over
$1 million was received in gifts and pledges and those funds, in conjunction with
funds from other sources, enabled the college to retire its debt.
Several new programs were implemented in the second half of the year,
including an Annual Fund appeal to graduate and evening college alumni, a
Parent's Fund, and an increased emphasis on corporate and foundation fund
raising. In addition, fund raising efforts to support the Sesquicentennial were
begun.
The Citadel was listed for the fourth consecutive year by U. S. News and
World Report as one of "America's Best Colleges".
The rating, ninth among
Southern Regional Colleges and Universities, as listed in the 1992 annual college
edition, published 30 September 1991, contributed to a positive year for the
college from an aspect of public relations.
National and international attention was focused on the college during the
year when The Citadel Band and Pipe Band represented the United States of America
in Scotland at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo during the month of August.
The most significant piece of legislation regarding The Citadel that
surfaced in the 1992 General Assembly was a vote in the House Education Committee
regarding House Bill 3150, which, if passed, would call for admission of women
into the Corps of Cadets. The Bill was defeated, in Committee, on 4 February by
a vote of fourteen to one.
Thirty-nine companies with 68 interview schedules recruited on campus
resulting in 616 individual interviews.
Efforts are ongoing to attract
additional companies to participate in on-campus recruiting at The Citadel.
Crime on campus continues to decrease. 13,500 building inspections were
conducted. Energy conservation measures were items of special interest during
these inspections.
All officers are up to date with mandatory state
certification and "Core Course" training.

�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 Vesey 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.

Academic Leadership

The 1991-92 academic year began with new leadership in six of
the fourteen academic departments, the Library, and in the three
ROTC departments. Four of new academic department heads and that of
the Director of the Library were selected from within The Citadel
family.
During the academic year, Major 0. Robert Emory was
selected as Head of the Modern Languages Department for a five-year
term and will replace LTC Frank D. Frohlich, acting head for the
past two years. LTC Frohlich will return to full-time teaching.
With the retirement of Colonel Charles F. Jumper, Major James
Randall Blanton will assume the position as Acting Head, Department
of Chemistry, for a two-year term effective with the 1992 Fall
Semester.
Colonel D. Oliver Bowman, Professor of Psychology and Director
of the Counseling Center, was appointed as the first recipient of
the Arland D. Williams Endowed Professorship in Psychology for a
five-year term. This position, endowed in the memory of Arland D.
Williams, Jr. (Citadel, 1957), commemorates his courage and heroism,
reflecting the ideals of The Citadel tradition.
Major Peter A. Mailloux, Associate Professor of English, will
chair the Faculty Council for the academic year 1992-93, replacing

B. Biology
The Department of Biology offers an undergraduate major leading
to the degree of Bachelor of Science. The program provides a strong
background of required core courses and the flexibility of free
electives to allow the student to pursue a broad education in the
liberal arts and sciences. The number of majors increased over the
past year to approximately 160, due to a large freshman class.
Twenty five Biology majors graduated, and eight have been accepted
into various graduate and professional programs.
The Department
also offers a masters degree in conjunction with the Department of
Education. Eleven Biology majors were enrolled in graduate courses
in the Fall semester and thirty-five in the Spring semester.
Colonel Gerald Runey completed his term as Acting Department
Head in August 1991, when Lieutenant Colonel Philippe Ross began his
20

�term as Department Head. Colonel Robert Baldwin was on sabbatical
leave for the entire year, and Dr. T. Chet Johns was engaged as an
adjunct professor for the year. Dr. Alix Darden was appointed as an
adjunct professor for the Spring 1992 semester.
Biology faculty were active profes,sionally this past year.
Lieutenant Colonel T. Clark Bowman continued to develop an
innovative graduate course exercise to improve the level of
experimental content in the teaching of Biology in area high
schools.
Colonel Dennis Forsythe had two articles and two book
reviews published in peer-reviewed journals. He also published a
technical report and presented two papers at scientific meetings.
Colonel Forsythe received two research grants from the U. S.
Department of the Interior, led two ornithological expeditions, and
served as a consultant to industry on three environmentally related
projects.
Lieutenant Colonel B. Joseph Kelley served as Principal
Investigator on a Sea Grant research project on environmental
effects of pipeline excavation, and presented preliminary results at
the annual South Carolina Sea Grant Workshop.
Colonel Richard Porcher presented two scientific lectures to
outside groups and published a technical report on the post-Hugo
recovery of Francis Marion National Forest. He completed work on a
major book, Wildflowers of the South Carolina Lowcountry, which will
be published by the University of South Carolina Press.
Colonel
Porcher led ecological tours for numerous citizen groups, served as
a consultant on several environmental projects, and received two new
federal research grants. He was also appointed to the Scientific
Advisory Board for the South Carolina Nature Conservancy.
Lieutenant Colonel Philippe Ross published three scientific
articles, one technical report and a book chapter.
He presented
twelve papers at scientific meetings, gave eight invited seminars at
academic and government institutions, and chaired a session on metal
toxicity at the Fifth International Symposium on Toxicity Assessment
in Kurashiki, Japan. Colonel Ross served as Principal Investigator
on two ongoing federal research grants and received a new grant from
the Microbics Corporation.
He continued to serve as Senior
Scientific Advisor to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency's
Great Lakes National Program Office, and was named to the editorial
board of Lewis Publishers and of the Journal of Aquatic Ecosystem
Health. He was elected Secretary of the Aquatic Ecosystem Health
and Management Society, and was appointed to the Technical Advisory
Committee of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration' s
Coastal Oceans Program.
Colonel Gerald Runey continued his research on gametogenesis in
nematode worms, served as campus wide pre-med coordinator, and
continued his role as Faculty Athletic Representative to the
National Collegiate Athletic Association and the
Southern
Conference. Lieutenant Colonel Frank Seabury participated in three
workshops related to the use of computer technology in education.
Colonel F. Lance Wallace presented a paper at the national meeting
of the American Mosquito Control Association. He received research
grants from the Citadel Development Foundation (CDF) and the
University of South Carolina' s International Center for Public
Health Research. Colonel Wallace continues to serve as Curator of
the Dominick Moth and Butterfly Collection.
Under his tutelage,
21

�Cadet Paul Syribeys presented an award-winning paper at the national
meeting of Beta Beta Beta, the Biology honor society.
The Department of Biology, through CDF grant support and in
conjunction with the BioCid Club, sponsored three guest seminar
speakers, David Fearnside (Yorkshire Water Authority), Dr. Dabney
Johnson (Wistar Institute), and Dr. Robert Sabalis (University of
South Carolina). In addition to the seminar series, The Citadel's
Tau Nu Chapter of Beta Beta Beta sponsored numerous on-campus and
off-campus activities such as cookouts, science fair judging, blood
drives, charity Christmas displays, and volunteer health programs.
Tau Nu was chosen as the outstanding chapter in the Southeastern
Region for the fourth consecutive year, and Rex Skanchy was chosen
as the outstanding chapt~r advisor, also for the fourth consecutive
year.
Cadet John Wolfe was elected as Southeastern Region Vice
President.
A delegation of four represented the chapter at the
biennial national convention in Madison, NJ. Tau Nu was once again
named as one of the top three chapters in the country, and Cadet
Paul Syribeys was runner-up in the outstanding student paper
competition.
At
the May 1992 Commencement exercises,
Rex Skanchy's
outstanding service and dedication to student activities were
recognized by the conferring of the 1992 Algernon Sydney Sullivan
Award.
The students and faculty of the Department of Biology are
deeply grateful to Mr. Skanchy and to Department Administrative
Specialist Ms. Beverly Powell for their tireless efforts and
compassionate assistance throughout the past year .
C.

Business Administration

Business Administration continues to be the most popular
undergraduate major at The Citadel. This past May, 136 seniors (or
about 34% of the graduating class) received their Bachelor of
Science in Business Administration degree.
For the first time in
many years, the number of entering freshmen choosing business as a
major declined slightly to about 25%, down from our usual 30%. This
slight decline mirrors a trend which business programs across the
nation have observed recently.
After years of anticipation, the Bond Hall Renovation project
finally got underway last June.
Since that time, we have been
operating under difficult physical conditions.
Twelve of our
faculty members have been assigned temporary offices in the Kovats
Field Trailer complex behind Bond Hall . The Departmental Offices,
housing the Department Head, the MBA Director, and our two
Administrative Assistants, was moved to 357 Bond Hall in the back
wing of what's left of the old building. We have adjusted to life
without an elevator or any nearby rest room facilities!
The
original projected completion date of December, 1992 has now been
adjusted as a result of the first contractor' s going bankrupt.
After some delay, work is now underway again, and we are told that
our new facilities may be ready in April, 1993.
The business faculty was extremely active this year in the areas
of faculty development and scholarship.
Several faculty members
(too many to mention in this brief report) received Citadel
22

�Development Foundation (CDF) research grants, and many also received
CDF Faculty Development Awards. The work of our faculty appeared in
many different public forums through the publications of papers and
articles in a wide variety of scholarly publications.
The Department has recently applied for official status as a
Candidate for Accreditation from the American Assembly of Collegiate
Schools of Business (AACSB).
The AACSB, the nation' s primary
accreditation agency for business programs, has recently completed
an extensive revision of their entire accreditation process, and one
result is that it should now be possible for departments of Business
Administration in smaller schools such as The Citadel to receive
AACSB accreditation. [The current number of accredited departments
of Business Administration, as opposed to schools or colleges of
business, is zero.] We hope to be among the very first business
departments in the country to be considered for AACSB accreditation.
Accreditation is a long , complex process, and our current goal is
to receive AACSB accreditation by the end of the Spring, 1996
semester.
Several department faculty members have been actively involved
in numerous projects of The Citadel's Center for International and
Regional Development this year. The Center's Director is Lt. Col.
George S. Vozikis, Professor and Alvah Chapman Chairholder in
Business Administration, and the Associate Director is business
professor Maj. Thomas I. Kindel. Among the major projects of the
Center this year were: hosting the first Canada/South Carolina Trade
Conference in Charleston last January, producing a Military Economic
Impact Study in conjunction with the Trident Chamber of Commerce,
publishing the Proceedings of the 1991 Conference of the Association
of Global Business, establishing a monthly survey of local
purchasing managers to help monitor the local economy, and forming
a partnership with the Berkeley/Charleston/Dorchester Council of
Governments to carry out research connected with their strategic
plan for the tri-county area.
Professor J. J. Mahoney concluded a distinguished teaching
career of more than thirty years at The Citadel with his retirement
this summer. In the area of Accounting, Dr. John P. Snyder resigned
at the end of the spring semester; we were fortunate, however, to be
able to hire Ms. Sheila Foster- Stinnett (who will join us in August)
and Ms. Janette Moody (who will join us next January), both of whom
will complete their Ph.D. degrees by the end of this year. Lt. Col.
Dorothy P. Moore was awarded a sabbatical for the 1992-1993 school
year, and Maj. Donald L. Sparks was awarded a sabbatical for the
Spring, 1993 semester.
Cpt. W. William Woolsey was promoted to
Associate Professor and Major, effective August, 1992, and Cpt.
William Sharbrough was promoted to Major.

D. Chemistry
Although the number of students majoring
23

in chemistry has

�declined nationwide in recent years, the enrollment in this
department has stabilized in the 20-25 range.
There were seven
students who graduated during the year, leaving thirteen continuing
upperclassmen. Of those graduating, two entered military service,
two accepted positions in industry, one entered government service,
and one accepted a position as a law clerk.
Several members of . the faculty continue to be active in
research. The department received two CDF Research grants and a CDF
Faculty Development grant, as well as a research grant from the SC
Sea Grant Consortium. The faculty presented a total of six papers
at professional meetings during the year.
During the year, CPT J.R. Blanton was approved for tenure and
promotion to Associate Professor, effective with the beginning of
the fall semester.
The department continues to make progress in developing the
mandated assessment plan.
This year a plan was developed, and
implementation has begun.
It is expected that preliminary results
will suggest ways in which the basic plan can be improved, and these
will be integrated into a revised plan.
Because of the major construction work taking place in Bond
Hall, and the resulting displacement of classes and faculty offices,
Byrd Hall has been called upon to relieve much of the need for
classroom and office space. The result is an enormous increase in
the use of this building.
Every classroom is being used almost
every hour of the working day, and the normal "wear-and-tear" on the
facilities has increased dramatically. It is clear that some major
renovation will be needed in the near future.
Some significant changes in the faculty will occur during the
next academic year.
COL Charles F. Jumper, who has been on the
faculty for thirty years, and who has been Department Head for ten
years, will retire on 30 June 1992.
Effective 1 July, CPT J.R .
. Blanton will be appointed Acting Department Head.
COL Jumper's
faculty slot in Physical Chemistry will be filled by Dr. Lisa Zuraw,
who will join the faculty as Assistant Professor.
The problem of staffing has become a worrisome one.
For the
past two years we have had the services of a full-time adjunct
professor; and, if estimates of the size of the entering freshman
class prove accurate, we shall need one for the 1992-93 academic
year.
Approval for hiring an adjunct professor, however, has has
not been given, and probably will not until near registration time.
A person will have to be located on very short notice, and this is
likely to prove difficult.
Overall, the department is strong and well able to make its
contribution to the mission of the college.
It has a strong
curriculum, a dedicated faculty, and the BS program continues to be
approved by the American Chemical Society.
It seems in good
condition, therefore, to move forward confidently to face the

24

�problems of the future.

E.

Civil Engineering

The Civil Engineering program was granted full accreditation by
the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
One hundred and fifty-four students were enrolled in the Civil
Engineering day program during the 1991-92 academic year.
This
included 59 freshmen.
Following national trends, these enrollment
levels remain somewhat reduced from the average level of the past
ten years. Nineteen seniors graduated in May 1992. An additional
senior is expected to graduate in August 1992.
The evening engineering program has continued to develop with
excellent progress.
In November 1991, a full time program
coordinator, Mr. Frank S. Bryant, was hired and a more aggressive
community education and recruitment effort started. This effort has
included presentations to industry and business, participation in
career fairs, mailing of flyers announcing upcoming courses and
development and distribution of a brochure describing the program.
Students are being taught at the senior as well as all lower levels.
The first students to complete the program should graduate in May
1993.
Last year a cooperative program with Trident Technical
College was
established that permits
Citadel undergraduate
engineering students to complete their first two years of study at
Trident before transferring to The Citadel. More than 125 students
have already enrolled in the new program. These students will begin
to attend classes at The Citadel in Fall 1993.
Based upon the
success of this program and demonstrated community needs, an
agreement is being finalized to extend this "2+2" engineering
program to also include Horry-Georgetown Technical College, The
Technical College of the Lowcountry,
and Orangeburg-Calhoun
Technical College.
The agreement is to effectively extend
reasonable opportunity to achieve an undergraduate engineering
education throughout the coastal region of South Carolina. It also
forms an educational coalition entitled "The Lowcountry Coalition
for Engineering Education Development" which shall be referred to by
the acronym "LCEED." These students would begin to attend The
Citadel during Fall 1994.
The Civil Engineering department is also leading Engineering
2000, a community- integrated assessment of the engineering and
engineering-related education requirements of the Lowcountry. The
objective is to produce an educational blueprint that would ensure
the
proper preparation of
today' s
student
for
tomorrow's
opportunities, the enrichment of the existing engineering-related
work force, and the enhanced attractiveness of the Lowcountry and
state as a technology-based workshop. Future academic and
professional development program initiatives will be developed
considering the results of Engineering 2000.
There were no changes in permanent party faculty. Major Dennis
Because of continued shortfalls in state
funding, the Colonel Louis S. LeTellier Distinguished Professor of

J. Fallon was tenured.

25

�Civil Engineering Chair remained unfilled. Available CDF funds were
used to appoint Dr. Harry C. Saxe, an earlier chair holder, as a
visiting professor for the academ~c year.
Civil engineering
faculty members continued to support the Clemson Graduate Civil
Engineering Program at The Citadel.
Major Dennis J. Fallon and
Captain John A. Murden taught graduate evening engineering courses.
The faculty continued to be active in professional development.
Colonel Lindbergh continued his work in national as well as state
mitigation of natural hazards (wind, flood and earthquake) through
improved building standards, technology and practice. These actions
included participation in many national and state technical
conferences and groups.
He was awarded the 1992 Technical Merit
Award by the American Society of Civil Engineers, South Carolina
Section.
Major Thomas R. Dion worked to finalize a textbook
manuscript for publication by the McGraw-Hill publishing company.
Majors Kenneth P. Brannan, Russell H. Stout, and Dennis J. Fallon
continued to serve the American Society of Engineering Education,
Southeastern Section, in important leadership offices and through
the development of several publications.
Major Michael H. Woo
consulted in an important coastal engineering projects.
Colonel
Thomas J. Anessi served as Faculty Advisor to the student ASCE
chapter.
Captain John A. Murden served as an academic advisor to
one of the cadet companies, presented a technical paper at an ASCE
conference and consulted.
The student chapter of the American Society of Civil Engineers
completed a particularly successful and active year.
Monthly
meetings with guest speakers and other activities were conducted.
The chapter won a national ASCE commendation award.
Even more
significantly, the student chapter hosted the 1992 Carolinas
Conference, an annual meeting of all ASCE student chapters
throughout West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
Approximately 250 students and faculty members participated in
technical paper, design, balsa wood bridge, steel bridge and
concrete canoe contests.
The conference was outstanding, much to
the credit of student loyalty, leadership, capability, commitment,
and resourcefulness.
Two "Greater Issues in Civil Engineering" seminars were also
conducted. One seminar entitled "Geosynthetic and Drainage Products
for Civil Engineering Applications" was presented on 6 November 1991
by Mr. David L. Butchart and Mr. Scott Vollmer of Contech
Construction Products, Inc.
The other seminar was entitled "Deep
and Shallow Foundations, Sheet Pile Walls, Slurry Trenches, and
Special Problems." It was presented in April 1992 by Mr. Thomas J.
Wysockey, President, Thatcher Engineering Corporation.

F.

Education

Programs in teacher education have continued to attract a
substantial enrollment, particularly at the graduate level. During
this academic year enrollment in all teacher education graduate

26

�programs have experienced modest growth.
In Fall 1991, head count
enrollment of 1279 students equalled the previous year.
Spring
1992, saw an increase of 21% in graduate enrollment to 1166. Summer
1992 with an enrollment of 1155, appears to have an increase of
approximately 7%.
These figures are quite satisfactory to the
teacher education unit given the relatively high enrollment figures
of previous years. Growth is at least one measure of the quality of
programs. The "market place" has indicated a Citadel education at
the graduate level is to be prized.
The Department of Education
takes pride in this achievement.
Enrollment at the undergraduate
level has also increased during this year.
Cadet enrollment for
Fall 1992 will be approximately 70 students.
This represents a
substantial increase from the enrollment of 52 reported last year.
Students in teacher education are required because of state
certification and state approval standards to complete examinations
at the beginning of some programs, Education Entrance Examination
for
initial
certification
programs,
and
National
Teachers
Examination at the conclusion of other programs which certify in
South Carolina.
Citadel students have done well on these
examinations.
Typically for the Education Entrance Examination
approximately 90% of our students pass this test at the inception of
their programs.
National Teachers Examination pass rates vary
somewhat from program to program but in excess of 90% meet the state
standard for these examinations. The Assessment of Performance in
Teaching and seeking to acquire an initial teaching certificate in
South Carolina.
More than 95% of our students reach the state
standard on this criterion for certification.
The Department has lost one faculty member this year through
retirement.
Major W. R. Williams who had been with us fourteen
years retired effective 30 June 1992.
The Department has been
fortunate to add three new faculty for 1992-93. Dr. John A. Brown
will join the faculty as an associate professor specializing in
courses in education and administration. Dr. Wemme Walls will be an
assistant professor teaching courses in special education to the
cadet program to assist learning disabled students.
Dr. Kenneth
Miller will be an assistant professor teaching courses in
counseling. We are delighted with these additions to the faculty.
The program developed at Burke High School to prepare, through
a special program, at risk high school youngsters for college and
employment continues to prosper.
The publicity from this highly
successful and innovative program continues to be positive.
This
outreach program of The Citadel's teacher education unit is a
exemplar of how colleges can work with public schools in order to
make a difference in the quality of educational opportunity.
Ms.
Carol Byrnes is continuing to work with this program quite
successfully. Funding for this program presently comes from a grant
from the Jesse Ball DuPont Foundation.
Outside funding for this
program terminates in November 1992.
The Department is proud of its achievements, however, we believe
that improvement and modification of programs is essential to the
27

�long term health and vigor of the Department.
Because of this
belief curriculum is under continuing review within the Department.
Requirements in our graduate programs in counseling and curriculum
and instruction have been modified for the 1992-93 school year.
These revisions are based on the demands of the work place, research
in the field, and with the input of faculty and students .
We
believe this process of constant attention to quality and
effectiveness is essential.
The coming year 1992-93, will be an important year for the
teacher education unit at The Citadel.
Our programs will be
reviewed this year by the State Department of Education. Successful
completion of this review process is essential to the existence of
teacher education on The Citadel campus. We look forward to a good
review in February 1993.
Quality is the watch word of the Department of Education.
In
order to maintain it and to enhance it, the Department has been
active in curriculum revision, professional and scholarly activity,
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 1992-93.

G.

Electrical Engineering

In August 1991, the Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology (ABET) notified The College that the Electrical
Engineering day program was reaccredited.
One hundred and twelve day students majored in electrical
engineering this year.
There were ten cadets and two veteran
students who graduated in May 1992: seven students are employed in
engineering career positions; three cadets were commissioned into
the Air Force; one in the Army; and one in the Navy.
This year's active enrollment in The Citadel's Evening College
Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering program was fifty two.
Continued growth of this program is anticipated based on the formal
two-plus-two program agreement between The Citadel and Trident
Technical College; the active recruiting efforts of Mr. Frank
Bryant, the Evening Engineering Program Coordinator; and numerous
inquiries about the evening engineering program. The first five
graduates of the evening engineering program, including the first
two female engineering graduates, received their degrees in
electrical engineering in May 1992. A sixth evening electrical
engineering student will receive his degree in August 1992.
Under the direction of Professors Larry Dunlop and Jack Stinson
four senior electrical engineering students designed and built the
Parade of Boats' Light Display for the Mariah.
The display won
first place in the commercial category in Charleston's 1991 Parade
of Boats.
Professor Dunlop also organized the second annual
28

�Electrical Engineering Design Symposium. Senior students presented
their senior design projects at the Symposium.
Their papers were
published in the Symposium's Proceedings.
Senior Electrical Engineering Cadets Carl Best and Stephen
Lesley won first place in the Student Paper contest at the state
wide Engineering and Management '92 Conference held at the
University of South Carolina. Their paper was entitled "A Wireless
Data Communication Networking Device".
Assistant Professor Joe Epple, Faculty Advisor to The Citadel's
IEEE Student Branch, and seven electrical engineering students
attended IEEE Southeastcon '92 in Birmingham, Alabama.
For the sixth 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 Professor Harold
W. Askins, Jr., to the Modern Power Systems Analysis course
sponsored annually by the Southeastern Electric Exchange at Auburn
University.
Grimsley Hall, the new Electrical Engineering and Physics
Building was dedicated in November 1991; and The Graham Copeland
Auditorium in Grimsley Hall was dedicated in April 1992.
These
educational facilities provide an excellent learning environment for
our students, and have contributed significantly to the capabilities
of the departments to offer quality programs.
In February 1992
the Civil and Electrical Engineering
Departments and the local Engineering Societies held an open house
in Grimsley Hall during National Engineers Week to provide
information about the engineering profession to prospective students
and the general public.
The faculty continues to build a record of scholarly and
professional achievement.
Assistant Professor Albert Kunze was a
consultant for Battelle this year in addition to taking several
graduate courses at MUSC. Assistant Professor Bruce Evans presented
a paper entitled "State Variable Simulation of a Transmission Line
Including Mutual Coupling for Spacecraft Power System Simulations"
at the 24th Southeastern Symposium on System Theory.
Assistant
Professor Epple successfully completed both the written and oral
portions of his Ph.D. qualifying examination at the Georgia
Institute of Technology. The examination included the presentation
of his paper, "Electromagnetic Radome Analysis Techniques".
Assistant Professor Tarnal Bose designed, developed, and taught a
Digital Signal Processing course and associated laboratory.
The
laboratory, which is housed in Grimsley Hall, capabilities include
speech and image processing. The laboratory was equipped through a
$24,677 NSF matching funds grant under the Instrumentation and
Laboratory Improvement Program.
In addition, Professor Bose

29

�continues to present and publish papers in highly respected IEEE
Conferences, Proceedings and Transactions.
He was selected as an
Associated Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing.
Associate Professor Lawrence Dunlop and Assistant Professor Tarnal
Bose attended the American Society of Engineering Education
Southeastern Regional Meeting and each presented a paper. Associate
Professor Jack Stinson has return from his sabbatical at the South
Carolina Research Authority. He continues to be actively involved
in projects associated with the development and implementation of
product data exchange specification standards.
Professor 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 non-ionizing 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 serving as a reviewer for the IEEE Control Systems
Magazine.
Professor Harold W. Askins, Jr. chaired the 1991-92
meeting of the Southeast Association of Electrical Engineering
Department Heads (SAEEDH) in Atlanta, Ga., November 7-8, 1991. He
also continued 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 was
again invited to be one of the principal lecturers in the Modern
Power Systems Analysis course at Auburn University, and he continues
to serve as a reviewer for the Applied Computational Electromagnetic
Society, ACES. Professor Askins was listed in the Eighth Edition of
Who's Who in Engineering, published by the American Association of
Engineering Societies.
Professor Emeritus James F. Scoggin
continues to help the department through his loyal support and
guidance 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.
The
Electrical Engineering faculty continues
to be
in
transition. Mr. Bruce W. Evans, who is completing his doctorate at
Auburn University, joined our faculty in the fall of 1991.
Assistant Professor Evans' area of specialization is electric power
systems and his Ph.D. research involves the study of spacecraft
power systems. Assistant Professor Joe Epple will return to Georgia
Institute of Technology for the 1992-1993 academic year to continue
work on his dissertation. Unfortunately Assistant Professor Tarnal
Bose has resigned to take a position as an Assistant Professor of
Electrical Engineering at the University of Colorado, Denver. His
reasons for leaving were a higher salary and more research
opportunities.

H.

English

Changes in the Faculty:
Dr. David G. Allen's promotion to
Professor and Lieutenant Colonel will become effective in August of
1992, as will Dr. Margaret M. Lally's promotion to Associate
Professor and Major. Dr. Lally will also be awarded tenure at that
30

�time. The college has awarded Professor Philip W. Leon sabbatical
leave for AY 1992-93.
And in August, Thomas C. Thompson, whose
academic specialty is composition and rhetoric, will be joining the
faculty of the English Department as Assistant Professor and
Captain. He will fill the vacancy created by the retirement of LTC
H. B. Alexander in May of 1991.

Faculty Scholarship: Collectively this year, the faculty of the
English Department, who are among the most active scholars on
campus, published three books, one chapter in a book, seven articles
in scholarly journals, and several book reviews. They edited three
scholarly periodicals, wrote and presented fourteen papers, refereed
ten articles by faculty from other institutions, and attended
thirteen conferences.
In addition, they wrote at least seven
articles which have been accepted for future publication.
The
scholarship of six professors was supported by grants from the
Citadel Development Foundation.
Faculty Leadership Within the College: This year three members
of the English Department served as chairs of standing college
committees, and five members were appointed to critical positions
with the Self-Study, including the General Chair and the Editor.
Other members of the department serve as advisors to the Inn of
Court, the Summerall Guards, the Shako, the Brigadier, campus
religious groups, and to one or two of the cadet companies.
The
President and the Vice President of the Citadel Chapter of the
American Association of University Professors are also members of
the English Department.
Service to the Community:
Thanks to the generosity of a CDF
grant, the English Department this year brought to the campus two
engaging guest speakers, not only for faculty and students, but also
for the general public. Jeffrey Meyers, an internationally known
scholar, spoke on Edgar A. Poe, and Frederick Morgan, a poet and the
editor of The Hudson Review, read and discussed some of his poetry
and presented a lecture in an undergraduate class.
Both of the
speakers addressed crowds of about one hundred people. In addition,
individual members of the department served the public in many other
ways, including judging public speaking contests and both national
and local poetry contests; presenting lectures at public libraries
around the state and locally at the Preservation Society and Gibbes
Art Gallery; conducting workshops and seminars to prepare students
to take various professional examinations (LSAT and GMAT); meeting
with local high school teachers; and serving on advisory boards.
Undergraduate English Majors: The number of English majors has
increased by six (to sixty-seven) since this time last year, but is
still well below the number in AY 88-89 (seventy-nine).
For the
first time this year, senior English majors took the national Major
Field Achievement Test in English. Cadet Sean Trundy, who also won
the Mikell Award for the highest GPA in English over three years,
made the highest score in the class (93rd percentile); and Cadet
James E. Fayssoux won the English Faculty Award for the best essay
by an undergraduate.
31

�Program Reviews: In September of 1991, the English Department
prepared for a formal program review by the South Carolina
Commission on Higher Education, . but the review, scheduled for
January 1992, was cancelled because of a budget shortfall. Also in
the fall semester, the department brought to virtual completion a
long, difficult task when it submitted to the college a detailed
document describing its three-year cycle of planning and assessment;
parts of the plan have been in effect for several years, but this
document describes it fully for the first time.
Currently the
department is preparing for the College Self-Study required by the
Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS).
Status of the Proposal for a Joint Program Leading to the M.A.
in English:
The proposal by the Departments of English at The
Citadel and the College of Charleston for a joint program leading to
the M.A. in English was approved by the College of Charleston's
Board of Trustees in October 1991 and by The Citadel's Board of
Visitors in November 1991.
It was then submitted to the South
Carolina Commission on Higher Education.
The staff of the
Commission reviewed the proposal and returned extensive comments,
dated March 16, 1992, to the two colleges. With input from both
administrations, representatives of the two English Departments have
worked during the subsequent period to strengthen the application in
accordance with the CHE staff comments. As of early June 1992, the
revision process is nearly complete. The revised application will
be reviewed by the administrations of The Citadel and the College of
Charleston during the summer of 1992 and resubmitted to the
Commission on Higher Education by the official submission date of
September 1, 1992.
1992 Summer School Enrollment: Undergraduate enrollment for the
first session of summer school has experienced a sharp drop this
year. In 1989, 1990, and 1991, the number of students enrolled in
undergraduate English courses held steady at about 132 students.
This year, however, the total is only 79, a decrease of 40%. The
causes for this drop, which is reflected to some extent across the
college, are highly complex; at the request of the President, they
will soon be reviewed by a committee headed by the Dean of
Undergraduate Studies.
Budget:
The English Department began the year with a budget
which was 18% smaller than last year's beginning budget, and was
then further reduced twice.
The annual expenditures (excluding
salaries) totalled only $9,241, or 64% of the beginning budget for
FY 1990-91. All state-funded travel, except for recruiting new
faculty, and purchasing of new equipment were entirely eliminated.
I.

History

The Academic Year 1991-1992 commenced in the fall semester with
10 of the 13 regular members of the department present and teaching.
The 10 included David White and John Gordon, who were demobilized .
32

�after the Gulf War in time to return for the fall semester. John
Brittain continued on sick leave (since January, 1991), and I regret
to report that he died of cancer on 3 April 1992. By the time of
his death, he had served with distinction as a member of our faculty
for twenty-five years. Joseph Tripp went on sick leave for the fall
semester of 1991, and, for reasons of health, carried a half-load in
the spring 1992 semester.
Michael Barrett was on a year's
sabbatical. In the spring of 1992, Douglas Porch took a semester's
leave. Under these circumstances, the department's teaching
resources were stretched even thinner by having to offer four
graduate-level courses each semester in order to support the Joint
M.A. in History program, and one Honors section each semester. (The
number of students matriculating at The Citadel in the Joint M.A.
program has grown to thirty-six.) In order to meet the need for
replacement teachers in history, the department employed two fulltime temporaries (Steven White and Robert Stockton) and two parttime adjuncts (Lyon Tyler, Professor Emeritus, and James Larkin).
Another part-time adjunct (Dalton Brasington) was employed to teach
Geography in the spring semester for the second year in a row.
The class entering in the fall of 1991 contained 45 history
majors, or seven more than the previous year. A total of 32 seniors
majoring in history were graduated on 9 May 1992.
CAPT Jane Bishop received both tenure and promotion to Associate
Professor effective the fall semester of 1992. When it became known
that John Brittain would be unable to return, a search for his
replacement was commenced. The search drew 110 applications and the
choice finally fell on Katherine Jean Haldane, who received her
Ph.D. in History from the University of Virginia. She will join our
faculty as an Assistant Professor and is the second female faculty
member ever to join our department; as of the fall of 1992, she also
becomes our only untenured faculty member.
An important curriculum revision was taken when the department
voted in favor of transferring responsibility for the teaching of
Geography from the Department of History to the Department of
Chemistry, effective with the fall semester of 1992. This action
was taken because Geography is no longer a requirement of History
majors beginning with the class entering in fall 1991, and, in the
absence of John Brittain, the department had no regular member who
could teach it.
As Geology already rests with Chemistry, the
addition of Geography to its responsibilities seemed appropriate.
Geography will be taught for the last time in the Department of
History in the summer session of 1992.
Further progress has been made on the state-mandated assessment
program. For a third year in a row, graduating seniors have been
contacted and given questionnaires as to their opinion of the
History department's program and teaching competence, as well as
future career plans for the graduates. Less progress has been made
on a suitable evaluation program for Western Civilization (the core
curriculum subject) because of cost and other factors, and the task
for formulating a suitable program has been transferred to the

33

�department's Committee on Undergraduate Curriculum for work in the
fall semester.
The "budget crunch" imposed by the state last year intensified
in 1991-1992, and, without funds for travel and fewer funds for
other activities, less could be done in the way of travel to
professional meetings and publication than in former years by
members of the departm~nt.
Nevertheless, barring unexpected
developments, all but one regular member of the department (Porch,
who will be on a year's leave at the Naval War College) are expected
to be available for teaching in the 1992-1993 school year, and, with
the decline of the use of temporaries and adjuncts, our office space
should be adequate.
Professor Gary Nichols of our department continued direction of
the Strategic Planning Program for the College, and the department
began preparing for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools
(SACS) 10-year visit for accreditation in the 1992-1993 school year.

J.

Mathematics\Computer Science

Recognizing the ever increasing role of mathematics and computer
science in all disciplines, the department continued to offer a wide
variety of courses to meet the demands.
Service courses were
offered for the entire college in both mathematics and computer
science. In addition, the department offered two degree programs in
mathematics and one in computer science.
The number of majors in mathematics and computer science
remained about the same as the previous year, approximately 100.
The number of students receiving a Bachelor's degree in May was 21.
A few others will finish in August.
In conjunction with the department of Education, graduate
courses for middle and secondary mathematics teachers were offered
for students pursuing various degrees or recertification credit.
Professor Cleaver was awarded a grant to train secondary teachers
who anticipate teaching Advanced Placement Calculus in high school.
The department taught several courses funded by EIA and sponsored by
local school districts. Evening undergraduate courses were taught
for the evening engineering program.
As in the past, the Citadel Development Foundation enhanced the
department with grants to individuals and the department. Professor
Peter Greim continued as a CDF fellow while Professors Chen, Cohn,
Comer, Francel, Hurd, and Zahid all received CDF research grants.
Faculty development grants were received by Professors Chen,
Cleaver, Comer, Denig, Francel, Lipscomb, and Zahid. In addition,
several speakers came to The Citadel to speak to students and the
faculty. Funds were also provided to support a small conference on
the use of Spreadsheets which was organized and run by Professor
Comer.
34

�A special grant from CDF provided funds to purchase seventeen
state-of-the-art workstations to be used by faculty and students in
the computer science and mathematics programs.
These machines
operate in a UNIX environment and are networked to all other
machines on campus.
The laboratory of workstations is likely the
best in the low country.
As evidenced by the number of research and faculty development
grants mentioned above, the scholarly activity in the department
continued at a high level. Professor Greim gave lectures in Spain
and Professors Chen, Corner, Deutz, Francel, Hurd, and Trautman
presented papers at professional meetings.
Professors Corner and
Hoyle conducted a short course on the use of spreadsheets in
mathematics at the American Mathematical Society meeting in
Baltimore.

Modern Languages

The Department of Modern Languages continues on its progressive
road toward improved foreign language instruction with increased
emphasis on "proficiency based" instruction and more precise initial
placement of entering freshmen.
While the number of students enrolled in Core Foreign Language
courses remains relatively stable due to our "Foreign Language
Requirement," the enrollment in advanced courses continues to
increase as the number of majors increases: up to 65 over last
year's 45.
In addition, this fall ('92) we will institute a new
program of "minors" in French, German, and Spanish, which should add
materially to enrollments in advanced courses.
The department again experienced a rather dramatic turnover of
personnel.
Two additional permanent faculty were hired in the
Spanish section, while one was lost in the French section, Capt.
Rick Treece, who will be replaced temporarily by an adjunct in the
fall.
Thus, the department will consist of the following four
tenured faculty as the fall semester 1992: Lt. Col. 0. Robert Emory,
Head; Lt. Col. Frank D. Frohlich, Associate Professor; Lt. Col.
Grant B. Staley, Associate Professor; and Maj. Christopher R. McRae,
Associate Professor; four tenure-track faculty: Capt. Elba M.
Andrade, Assistant Professor; Capt. Albert E. Gurganus, Assistant
Professor; Capt. Mark P. Del Mastro, Assistant Professor; Capt. Juan
(Wangbai) Bahk, Assistant Professor; and three temporary adjunct
faculty: Dr. Ada A. Johnson, Mrs. Carol M. Young, and Mrs. Ann L.
Voit.
The scheduled CHE Program Review was postponed due to a lack of
funds but is rescheduled for the Spring of 1993, and we will also

35

�begin the required Self Study for SACS.
With the approval of the Summer Studies Abroad: German, the
department now offers a full slate of opportunities for all its
majors in this respect and hopes to augment and increase these
opportunities in the future.

Physics

The period covered in this annual report (1991-1992) marked the
inaugural year in which the Department of Physics began operation in
a new facility, having moved from Bond Hall to Grimsley Hall in June
of 1991. Considerable effort was spent during the summer of 1991
getting our program ready for classes in the fall.
Thousands of
pieces of equipment had to be stored and inventoried, laboratory
rooms had to be cleared and organized, and computers and computer
communications had to be installed.
The department took part in
both the dedication of Grimsley Hall in November and the dedication
of Copeland Auditorium in April.
During the summer the department learned that Dr. Silvio Zenone
would not be able to continue as an Adjunct Assistant Professor at
The Citadel. A telephone search led to the hiring of Dr. Ryan E.
Droste as temporary Assistant Professor to replace Professor Weiler
R. Hurren while Col. Hurren attended Brigham Young University during
his sabbatical leave.
In September our laboratory technician, Mr. Braxton Simmons,
retired after eight years of outstanding service to our department.
After a mandatory delay of four months, we hired a new laboratory
technician, Mr. William R. Holdren, who has turned out to be an
outstanding replacement.
Mrs. Nancy Sliwa continues to do an outstanding job as secretary
for the department.
She attended a seminar in the Spring called
"Beyond Secretary" to enhance her skills.
Each member of our department has been active in teaching,
research, and service during the past year.
Dr. Joel C. Berlinghieri, Professor of Physics, who took over as
Physics Department Head in June of 1991, submitted research papers
to Optics and Photonics and presented a paper at the San Jose
meeting of the Optical Society of America. He sponsored several
public school events within the department including a rocket
demonstration and shoot off with Buist Academy, and demonstrations
and laboratories for the Academic Magnet, and Garrett High. He also
participated in the evaluation of the science programs of Georgetown
College.
Dr. Weiler R. Hurren, Professor of Physics, received a
sabbatical leave to participate in research at Brigham Young
University. His research area is the study of Fullerines and has
already led to the presentation of one paper at the University of
Utah.
Dr. Saul J. Adelman, Professor of Physics, published a
significant number of research papers, received several research
grants, and attended national and international conferences during
this period. He continues to devote a major portion of his time to
research in astronomy.
38

�Dr. Peter J. Rembiesa, Associate Professor of Physics, was
promoted to Professor of Physics with the college rank of Lt. Col.
He has published major papers in the Physical Review and attended
national and international conferences. He has also been active in
the development of a departmental laboratory manual.
Dr. Patrick R. Briggs, Associate Professor of Physics, continues
his efforts in science education developing activities with middle
school teachers and the Governor's School.
He also has been very
active in the development of a department laboratory manual.
Dr. Russell 0. Hilleke, Assistant Professor of Physics, has done
an outstanding job in the classroom having developed a close and
endearing relationship with our students.
He has been active in
optical and surface physics research and has been a major
contributor to the department laboratory manual.
Five students graduated with BS degrees in physics this May.
Two were commissioned in the services (Nuclear Navy Program and Air
Force), two were accepted in graduate school (University of
Tennessee and University of Georgia), and one accepted a job at the
Savannah River Laboratory as a research scientist.

N.

Political Science

The Department of Political Science has a faculty of nine full
time members; additionally, the John C. West Professor of Government
and International Affairs works closely with the Department and
normally teaches two courses per semester.
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, 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.
The Political Science Curriculum develops three alternative
areas of concentration:
(A) American Government and Politics, (B)
International Politics and Military Affairs, and (C) Pre-Law and
Criminal
Justice.
The
curriculum
is
designed
to
make
sequential/developmental learning likely and seeks to avoid a random
smorgasbord approach. Serious attention is being given to "writing

39

�across the curriculum" and to improving our students' quantitative
and analytical skills.
During the current review year, the
department's proposal for a minor in Non-Western Studies was
approved and will be in effect with the 1992-1993 catalog.
The
minor is interdisciplinary and is designed to give students an
opportunity to concentrate a group of courses on either a region of
the world or a cross-regional theme (e.g., revolutionary movements)
related to the non-western world.
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, a delegation of students,
accompanied by Professor 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 1991-1992 students served
internships with several departments of the City of Charleston, the
City of Charleston Police Department, the City of North 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, Juvenile Restitution (a division of the
Department of Youth Services) , the U.S. Attorney's Office in
Charleston, 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 Professors Michael
Bonafield and Michael O'Connell taught special courses on Russian
Affairs and Prosecution and Defense respectively. Ambassador Joseph
Twinam developed a special seminar on Leadership for the Honors
Program during the spring semester.
The departmental faculty continued during 1990-1991 to be
extremely active within the profession.
Research papers have been
presented at the following scholarly meetings:
International Studies Association
Northeastern Political Science Association
Western Political Science Association
Southern Political Science Association
Far West Culture Association
Western Decision Sciences Institute
Southeast Decision Sciences Institute
U.S. State Department-George Washington University

40

�International Studies Center Conference
New York American Caribbeana Society Seminar
International Sociology Association
The department sponsored, under a grant from The Citadel Development
Foundation, the biennial Symposium on Southern Politics.
This
conference featured two days of panel presentations and discussions
by specialists in the field and offered students an opportunity to
attend a professional conference.
The Symposium has come to be
widely regarded by political scientists throughout the country as
the major conference in the nation devoted to research on southern
politics. In addition, two books and one extensive monograph were
published by members of the department.
The 1988 Presidential
Election in the South: Continuity Amidst Change in Southern Party
Politics edited by Professors Laurence W. Moreland, Robert P. Steed,
and Tod A. Baker was published by Praeger Publishers, and a book on
Namibia, coauthored by Professors December Green and Donald Sparks
(of the Business Administration Department), was published by
Westview Press.
Professor Gardel Feurtado' s monograph on the
military in Surinam was published by the Caribbeana Society.
Additionally, several articles and book chapters written by members
of the Political Science faculty were published.
All members of the department attended at least one professional
meeting and most were involved in presenting papers, serving as
discussants, and chairing panels, and many of the departmental
faculty were engaged in research related travel.
These scholarly
activities greatly enrich class presentations and maintain the
currency
of
the
faculty
in
their
respective
fields
of
specialization. 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 Non-Western Studies.
The Department of Political Science is sensitive to its role in
the community and continues to cooperate with various organizations
such as the Charleston County Library, Civic Clubs, and the Higher
Education Consortium 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.
The Department of Political Science is the second largest
department on campus. We recognize that because the department is
entrusted with the education of so many cadets, we have special
obligations to offer a quality program and to maintain high
standards both for the faculty and the students.
The level of
scholarly activity, the quality of leadership, the extensive work
done by various members of the department on college committees and
in the governance of the college, and the serious attention given to
improving teaching by our faculty reflect our collective commitment
to fulfill those obligations.

Psychology

The Department of Psychology offers an undergraduate program of
study leading to the Bachelors of Arts degree and a graduate program
leading to the Specialist in Education degree in School Psychology.
The undergraduate major in psychology is designed to help the
student integrate his learning from a broad background in the
humanities and sciences .w hile introducing him to psychology as a
science and as an applied human service.
The increasingly
sophisticated research in the field with the observational-clinicalapplied tradition. The graduate program in psychology is directed
toward developing specialists who are competent to deal with
psychological and educational problems of children and to improve
the psychological milieu of school environments.
Seventy-nine undergraduate students majored in psychology this
year. This figure is 139% of last year's figure.
Of the nine May
graduates, two have been accepted into graduate programs. This year
one of the psychology graduates graduated Chum Laude and three
received departmental honors. Four graduate students earned their
Ed.S. in May 1992 and four in August 1991. Of these, two were with
distinction. In addition three graduate students earned their M.Ed.
During the academic year, 740 (123% of last year) undergraduate
students and 371 (113% of last year) graduate students enrolled in
psychology courses. Average enrollment in undergraduate classes was
25 and 21 in graduate classes. Enrolled in undergraduate psychology
courses in the 1992 First Summer Session were 33 students and
enrolled in graduate classes were 81 students.
With the approval of the offering of academic minors by the
Academic Board, the Psychology Department developed a minor in
psychology which will begin enrolling students in the Fall of 1992.
With this minor, the Psychology Department anticipates increased
enrollment in its undergraduate classes in the 1992-93 year.
The Department is especially proud of the professional,
scholarly and academic involvement of its faculty and students in
1991-1992.
Eight cadets presented their research at the Spring

�In addition Cadet C. Morrison presented a poster at the Southeastern
Psychological Association entitled "Anxiety and depression in
adolescents".
The Department of Psychology is very proud of its
faculty members' involvement with the Cadets on these research
efforts.
In addition to the Cadets' involvement with the faculty on
research projects, the graduate students have become increasingly
involved in research.
During this past year, seven graduate
students presented papers as the South Carolina Psychological
Association:
M. Bazemore "Vocational aptitude remediation and relationship to
intelligence: Assessment implications for transition planning"

Admissions

The 1991 freshman class entered in August and had a geographic distribution
as large as the proceeding class.
There were 34 states represented and 39
counties from South Carolina.
Students from 8 foreign countries gave an
excellent diversity to the class. The academic credentials were strong with the
average SAT 973 and the average grade point ration was close to a 3.0.
The
incoming freshmen were ranked in the upper 1/3 of their class.
Admissions representatives traveled the states of North Carolina, Virginia,
Georgia, Florida and South Carolina. The professional staff attended conferences
and workshops that helped enhance the recruitment activities and computer
assisted functions that aided the admissions process.

The weekend and weekday visitation programs were exceptionally well
attended.
Efforts to orientate parents were encouraging and continued
improvements were planned.
52

�The director of admissions was involved in the state professional
organization Carolina Association of Registrars and Admissions Officers (CACRAO)
and coordinated state guidance counselor conferences. Other members of the staff
were involved in making presentations at high schools about preparing for
college.
There was an emphasis on minority recruiting.
The college was
represented in several regional and national minority college fairs.
The continued use of telemarketing and personal contact with accepted
applicants helped in the efforts to increase the yield from accept to
marticulant. The faculty, staff and cadets were all involved and proved to be
very helpful.
The CAPP organization (Cadet Alumni Procurement Program) was revitalized.
Although the 1991-92 school year was almost over when the organization began to
grow, its positive effect will be felt in the next several years.
This is a
joint venture with the admissions and alumni office.
The cadet corps continued its vital assistance in recruiting activities.
They have proven to be a major factor in the positive feeling expressed by
visitors to the campus.

With the national economy in a recession, greater demands and requirements
for financial aid and scholarship assistance are being made at nearly all
institutions of higher education and The Citadel is no exception to this trend.
Federal and state programs are the backbone of this program.
In terms of
dollars, The Citadel has experienced a 23% ($857,425) increase in funding this
year from these various programs to meet the educational costs of students and
their parents at The Citadel. The Citadel has committed itself to this process
by increasing its funding of academic and financial need scholarships by 26%, or
$309,215. The Athletic Department contributed more than a million dollars to
athletic grants, which is an 11% increase. As an institution, The Citadel ranks
well above standard norms in terms of its own commitment as a participant in
funding education.
ROTC scholarship and assistance increased 4% in dollars but there was a
decline in the number of scholarships from the previous year by 27. This year
there are 125 ROTC scholarship recipients, whereas the year before there were
157. This situation is being vigorously addressed by The Citadel's new ROTC
enhancement program, which will enable The Citadel to be competitive with other
institutions who are aggressively pursuing these high quality students. This
enhancement program will provide four-year ROTC scholarship winners a stipend of
$2,500 a year which is intended to cover most room and board costs. Three year
ROTC scholarship winners will receive a waiver of their room fees for their
freshman year and when their scholarship becomes effective, they will receive the
$2,500 a year stipend.
The Citadel can initiate such a program due to the

53

�generosity of The Citadel Development Foundation.
Financial Aid
Federal financial aid has two basic facets: the first are grants of which
there are two programs, Pelland SEOG: and the second are self-help programs such
as the various loan programs and the College Work Study Program.
The Pell Grant provides grants ranging from $250 to $2,400 to needy
students. The Pell Grant Program is a barometer of economic need for families
with generally less than $30,000 of income per year. Three hundred and twentyeight (328) students received Pell Grants this year in comparison to 260 the year
before. SEOG (Supplemental Ed~cational Opportunity Grant) is given to the most
needy students.
This year, The Citadel awarded $38,807 to 58 students.
The
Citadel Development Foundation provided the 10% institutional match required for
this program.
The Stafford Loan (formerly known as the Guaranteed Student Loan, or GSL)
program is the largest of all loan programs.
This past year, 514 Citadel
students received loans totaling $1,500,760 from this program. This is a 25%
increase over the previous year.
PLUS or Parent Loans were granted to 282
parents for support of their sons at The Citadel totaling $1,255,227, which was
a 19% increase over the previous year. The maximum amount that may be borrowed
by a parent is $4000 per academic year. When a parent is denied a Parent Loan,
the student may obtain a similar commercial loan called an SLS. This year, 55
students received SLS loans totaling $157,110 with the average loan being $2,856.
The funds available for Perkins Loans ($46,143) were based upon repayment of
loans by graduates to The Citadel.

For students who are studying in what the S.C. Department of Education has
classified as a critical subject area and/or who plan to teach in a geographic
needy area, the S.C. Teachers Loan Program (TLP) provides a loan which may be
canceled by the State at a rate of 30% for each year of teaching in the public
school system.

Scholarships

The Citadel's scholarship program is intended to award and recognize the
highest quality high school graduates.
These scholarships also serve as an
incentive for cadets already enrolled in the Corps to make the extra effort
needed to attain academic excellence and superior records of achievement.
Academic scholarships are awarded based on the quality of the student's academic
record, leadership, and other highly desirable attributes for members of the
Corps of Cadets. Each year, more than 25 full four-year academic scholarships,
which cover tuition, fees, room, board, uniforms, books and supplies, are awarded
to outstanding high school graduates. This reporting year yields a profile of
these students averaging more than 1,200 on their S.A.T. scores and ranking in
the upper 5% of their high school class.

Aid to Minority Students
Today, 90% of our African-American cadets, i.e. 130, at The Citadel receive
some form of financial aid and/or scholarship assistance. Thirty-five percent
(35%) of these cadets received academic and financial need based scholarships,
while Corps -wide the percentage is 24%.
The average financial aid and
scholarship award for this group was $5,371 per cadet.
Veteran Administration (VA) Benefits
The Financial Aid Office also certifies student eligibility for VA benefits.
These students include active duty, veterans, National Guard members, reservists,
as well as qualifying dependents of service veterans. For the 1991-1992 academic
year, approximately 183 students received benefits to attend The Citadel. The
range of benefits paid by the VA to these students is $175 to $650 per month.
Management
The Office has made significant progress in the administration of Financial
Aid.
The Fiscal Operations Report was filed electronically using system
generated data from the SIS programs this year. This report is The Citadel's
application for federal funds in the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant,
College Work Study, and Perkins Loan Programs. The efforts to automate reporting
requirements ultimately frees the professional staff for student counseling and
outreach programs. The Pell Grant Reporting process to apply for Pell funds has
also been automated using SIS system generated tapes. This allows a more timely
reporting of Pell expenditures, results in an increase in Federal Appropriations
and allows the college to receive its funds much more rapidly. Student budgets
have also been automated allowing faster processing of student files and awarding
of financial aid.
The Assistant Director has provided a tremendous amount of flexibility in
computerized reports generated from FOCUS routines. These reports are generated
in-house with the results impacting positively the ability to award restricted
scholarships, track different student populations and respond to donor requests
in a timely and accurate manner.
The student scholarship notices with donor
addresses have been automated and have relieved the staff of approximately eight
hours of manual processing of forms each week. This saved time is converted into
student contact benefitting The Citadel and its students.
The Office has increased access for graduate and evening students by
implementing a policy of aid eligibility for one-year while the student is taking
classes leading toward acceptance into a degree or certified program.
This
policy change has opened The Citadel's graduate programs to individuals who would
not be able to afford attendance while taking the prerequisites to be formally
accepted into a program. Students are able to borrow funds through the Stafford
Loan Program, which will lend up to $7,500 per year for graduate study. This
policy has increased the workload in both the Financial Aid and Graduate Offices

56

�which must certify each applicant as being in a program which leads to a degree
or approved certification.
Summary
The financial aid process has been enhanced this year with the addition of
a full-time director and expanded utilization of the SIS computer system. The
Citadel's students are receiving more aid from federal programs as well as
increased counseling from the professional staff. The economy has dictated the
increased importance of financing a college education through means other than
personal savings.
Financial aid and scholarships impact on recruiting and
student retention will increase as options for education are weighed more heavily
on the ability to pay.
This office has made strides to position itself to
provide increased access to federal programs and the professional staff for
counseling of students and parents. It is expected the office will continue to
have an increased role in The Citadel's future.
U.

Information Resources Management (IRM)

Thanks to Citadel Development Foundation (CDF) funding, The Citadel was able
to provide its students and faculty important new computing resources and
services in 1991-92. However, because of state budget cuts, the college was not
able to do much to improve administrative computing.
The biggest changes in academic computing during the past year occurred in
the area of networking. Major strides were made toward upgrading The Citadel's
campuswide local area network, now called Citnet. In addition The Citadel worked
with four other Charleston area colleges and the Charleston County Public Library
to develop a new metropolitan area network named Coastnet, and we became part of
the Internet, the largest international computing network.
Citnet
In 1990-91 The Citadel reached a major networking milestone by connecting
virtually all faculty and desk-based staff to the college's campuswide VAX
network. In 1991-92 IRM staff began restructuring this telephone-wiring-based
network to better support academic computing needs for the rest of this decade.
First, Capers Hall and Grimsley Hall were connected to Bond Hall by underground
fiber optic cables. These cables, the existing VAX network, and the Bond Hall
computer labs were then connected to a new high-speed campus network hub
installed in Bond Hall. The resulting network- Citnet -will allow students and
faculty to use many different types of computers around campus and around the
world.
One of the new types of computers Citadel students and faculty can now
access is a Digital Equipment Corporation UNIX RISC server located in Capers
Hall.
In addition to this server, nine DEC UNIX RISC workstations have been
installed in a newly remodeled lab located on the second floor of Capers Hall,
and seven more workstations have been installed in Math and Computer Science
faculty offices. All of these computers are connected to Citnet through high-

57

�speed links, and collectively, they form the most advanced and powerful academic
UNIX computing system in coastal South Carolina. This $170,000 CDF-funded system
will enable computer science faculty to better prepare students for jobs that
require a working knowledge of the UNIX operating system, database management
systems, and software d~velopment tools.
Another new Citnet resource now available to Citadel students and faculty
is a Novell 486 server. This sy.stem can be accessed from the Bond Hall labs as
well as from faculty offices in Bond, Capers, and Grimsley Halls. Novell server
users can run a variety of DOS applications that are not available elsewhere on
campus, and they can also print to several network laser printers- regardless
of whether they are using an IBM-compatible PC, an Apple Macintosh, or a UNIX
workstation.
Coastnet
During the past year The Citadel has worked closely with Charleston Southern
University, the Charleston County Public Library, the College of Charleston,
MUSC, and Trident Technical College to develop a Charleston metropolitan area
computer network called Coastnet.
The Charleston County Public Library, The
Citadel, the College of Charleston, and Trident Technical College are already
linked to this high-speed Ethernet network - and Charleston Southern University
and MUSC will be connected this fall. Coastnet enables computer users at member
organizations to communicate easily with each other through electronic mail and
to use each other's computer services - especially online library services. This
sharing of resources will not only provide students, faculty, staff, and library
patrons access to more services than any Coastnet member could provide by itself,
but by promoting cooperative cost sharing, it will also enable members to provide
services that none of them could afford individually.
Internet
Thanks to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and CDF,
all Citadel students, faculty, and staff now have convenient access to the
Internet- the international computer network that links schools and colleges,
military and government agencies, and businesses and non-profit organizations.
Internet users can log into thousands of computers around the world as well as
send mail messages and transfer computer files to other Internet users.
Our
Internet connection also enables Citadel students, faculty, and staff to log in
to Citadel computers from other Internet computers throughout the world- without
having to pay long-distance telephone line charges.
Plans for 1992-93
During the coming year, IRM staff will continue to expand Citnet by
extending the campus fiber optic network to the Daniel Library and LeTellier
Hall, by connecting at least 100 cadet computers to Citnet, by connecting at
least 20 more faculty computers to the fiber optic portion of Citnet, by adding
a UNIX RISC server that will enable Business Administration students to use
Oracle's database management system, by making more library information (such as
reference books, periodical indices, magazines, and newspapers) readily available
58

�to Citnet users, and by using Citnet to transmit television programs to classrooms. In addition a new Grimsley Hall computer lab will be equipped with 20
IBM-compatible Pes and Macintoshes, a new multimedia classroom will be completed
in Capers Hall, at least 20 faculty office computers will be upgraded, and about
20 Macintoshes will be installed in company clerks' barracks rooms. Again, most
of these projects will be funded by CDF.
V.

Daniel Library

The Daniel Library's major efforts this year included projects enhancing
communications, assessing resources and services, and increasing information
access.
Communications
In the rapidly changing technological environment, the library has mounted
a public relations campaign to facilitate campus communications.
Formats
utilized include posters, brochures, electronic messaging, and newsletter
articles.
In addition to scheduled bibliographic instruction classes, the
library faculty is expanding its information literacy education program by
offering daily, on-going classes on automated resources.
The library faculty liaison organization has been restructured to improve
collegial collection development through modified cluster contact. Other avenues
are specialized faculty workshops such as world-wide library access via Internet.
A first time cooperative project for senior cadets was well received; the
Placement Office, the Writing Center, and the Daniel Library joined forces to
present a comprehensive job seeking seminar. This effort will be expanded for
the next academic year.
As well as reaching out, we asked for reaching in; two approaches are
through direct discussions with students and faculty while another is through
overviews of course content. Both opportunities enable the library faculty to
identify efficient use of our resources and prioritize our goals.
Assessment
Assessment of our resources and services had a dual mandate from the
Commission on Higher Education. The first assessment was the Commission's statewide library program review; this extensive process, with outside consultants,
should enable the Commission to provide constructive recommendations such as
endorsing changes in the library formula funding, changes in collection data
analysis, and changes in recognition of academic program accreditation through
information access and resource sharing. A modified Integrated Postsecondary
Education Data System (IPEDS) Academic Libraries form and an Academic Libraries
1991 CHE form were the measurement tools constituting the Standard Information
Form (SIF).
The second structured project was the Daniel Library's plan to assess its
role in institutional effectiveness. To assess instructional support services,
the library utilized a survey instrument defined in the American Library
Association's publication, Measuring Academic Library Performance: a Practical
Approach. Other surveys were developed in-house to assess the effectiveness of
our formal Freshmen Library Instruction program and collection usage. Data

S9

�obtained from these output measurement projects will be used to improve quality
of service and provide standardized data for decision making and planning. To
assess collection development, the Daniel Library has continued use of the
Research Libraries Group Conspectus to provide the analytical framework as a tool
for collection assessment and as a mechanism for further cooperative action and
resource sharing.
To measure the success of electronic resources, initial
cooperative efforts with IRM provide statistical usage data.
Performance
measures in a networked environment will be developed in a similar manner.
Information Access
An extensive CD ROM database collection has been developed this year to
support scholarly activity for undergraduate and graduate programs; in support
of such, the heavily used databases such as ERIC, PsycLIT, ABI/Inform, and HLA
International Bibliography are. available on the campus VAX network.
Library
stand alone access is provided for specialized corporate data and statistical
information.
To offer comprehensive support, several pilot electronic projects, available
through the Internet, were evaluated. CARL UnCover and UnCover II, a current
awareness service and document delivery system was tested Spring 1992; as faculty
response was quite favorable, this option will undergo further study. · Another
is the consortial wide study of local tape mounted indices; after a comprehensive
citation analysis, the Charleston Academic Library Consortium has elected to
conduct a year long evaluation, commencing 1 July 1992, of eight of the Wilson
indices.
These indices will be mounted on the main frames located at The
Citadel, the College of Charleston, and Trident Technical College and accessible
to all institutions via the new metropolitan area network, COASTNET.
Subscriptions have been entered for Infotrac and USA Today Decisionline based on
the student and faculty evaluations from the trial periods.
Creation and data conversion has added two new resources which are available
on the VAX network Library submenu. The first is the Consortium Union List of
Serials and the other is the Daniel Library New Books file; each of these is
designed to provide "on demand" end-user access. Also available this year is the
electronic Interlibrary Loan form for books and journals; this service has
allowed the user to submit remote requests and enabled the library to reduce
delivery time.
Library Collection and Usage
The library added 3424 titles and 722 volumes for a total book addition of
4146 volumes; the book collection figure is 162,577. Microform pieces total
906,052.
As the library budget sustained heavy reductions this year,
participation as a partial government depository significantly supplemented our
resources with minimal access expense. Total circulation was 45,992; although
this figure is slightly less than last year, circulation is up. The discrepancy
is that in-house statistics have now been reserved for special studies. This
year's attendance record showed a modest increase of 8% to 173,601; October and
April were the heaviest months of attendance both this year and last.
Interlibrary loan activity continues to increase; total activity increased from
6070 to 6736 transactions.
The strongest growth service is user instruction
classes; the number of classes and number of students more than doubled over last
year from 44 classes to 98 and from 1250 students to 2639. User instruction
classes are taught in three different formats and are designed to foster
60

�independent analytical thinking and encourage information literacy. The three
class formats are a research-based library instruction course required of all
freshmen, course-specific research classes for academic courses, and end-user
searching classes for CD-ROM bibliographic databases.
These programs work
together to develop information gathering and critical thinking skills that lead
to success in academic course-work and promotion of life-long learning.
The
statistics generated from these programs reflect our commitment to the
educational support of this institution. External database searching continues
to decrease proportionally to the increase of locally owned databases.
On 7
February 1992, IRM began to capture remote usage statistics; from this date until
30 June, end users conducted 1140 searches on the four networked CD ROM
databases.
Personnel
The library's organizational chart was revised to reflect responsibilities
by task rather than format. CPT Olga Paradis joined the library faculty January
1992 and assumed duties as the Acquisitions Librarian . Serials acquisition and
control were transferred from MAJ Pyatt to CPT Paradis. As global issues mount,
MAJ Pyatt will begin developing an international documents collection as well as
developing a library mentorship program. The acquisitions LTA III position was
upgraded and reclassed to LTA IV; Pearl Erickson, an internal candidate, was
promoted to this vacancy.
Her old position is under the sixteen week freeze
until July 1992. To encourage staff development, in addition to institutional
and consortial training sessions, an in- service day has been reserved each
intersession.
Scholarly Activity
The library faculty was active in broadly ranged scholarly and professional
activities. LTC Herbert Nath completed revision of all online user guides and
has prepared documents for submission to ERIC. LTC Edmund Maynard completed his
doctoral research and is writing his dissertation. MAJ Sherman Pyatt and CPT
Alan Johns are collaborating on an African-American folklore book; publication
date is September 1992. Also, MAJ Pyatt founded, and chairs, the Round Table for
African-American Concerns of the South Carolina Library Association. LTC Zelma
G. Palestrant, Chair, and CPT Elizabeth W. Carter presented a paper on library
information management at the Third Annual International Information Resource
Management Association Conference as well as a paper on the college library's
role in teaching critical thinking at the Second National Conference on
Institutional Applications of Critical Thinking.
CPT Carter also presented
poster sessions on research-based bibliographic instruction at the Sixth
International Symposium on Self-Directed Learning and at the annual conference
of the South Carolina Library Association. Attendance at professional meetings
included: LTC Palestrant, annual conference of the American Library Association;
LTC Palestrant, MAJ Pyatt, and CPT Carter, the South Carolina Library Association
annual conference; CPT Alan Johns, the annual conference of the American Society
for Information Science (ASIS) and a library and museum materials conservation
workshop sponsored by the Palmetto Archive Library and Museum Council on
Preservation; CPT Paradis, the Seventh Annual North American Serials Interest
Group (NASIG) Conference; LTC Palestrant and CPT Carter , Workshop on Hypermedia
Across the Curriculum sponsored by the Research Triangle's Institute for Academic
Technology; LTC Palestrant visited the Earthquake Engineering Research Center,
University of California, Berkeley, to evaluate cooperative creation of a
regional resource center at The Citadel. She was also active establishing
61

�cooperative roles with the University of South Carolina's library science
graduate program as well as high school/academic libraries state-wide
partnerships.
All library faculty served on institutional and consortia!
committees and the majority participated in professional program development.
In addition, CPT Carter served as chair of the Staff Development Committee of the
Charleston Academic Library Consortium. LTC Palestrant served as president of
the newly formed Low Country Library Association and coordinated several programs
on earthquake preparation. She also served as chair of the College Store Ad Hoc
Committee, the South Carolina SOLINET Users Group, and the South Carolina Council
of Librarians.

Archives-Museum

During the 1991-1992 perio'd , funding was received for the renovation of the
third floor of Daniel Library, which houses the Archives-Museum. The objective
of this renovation was to create more space for the Daniel Library.
The Library acquired 2, 400 square feet on the third floor.
The Museum
storage and office space were consolidated to 1, 976 square feet, while the
Archives was enlarged by 650 square feet.
The archival collections are now
organized in one room and there is an appropriate area for scholars to conduct
research. Shelving was purchased for the archival collections, which are arranged
by accession number.
Prior to the renovation, all collections in the Archives-Museum
(approximately 3, 000 boxes) were packed and placed in temporary storage in
Thompson Hall.
The staff were relocated to vacant offices on the campus and the
Museum was temporarily closed to the public. The renovation was completed in
three and a half months. The collections were moved back to the Archives -Museum
and unpacked by March 1992.
Ten thousand visitors toured the Museum during the year.
The Museum is
publicized in numerous national and international guides and directories and a
brochure describing the Museum has been designed and distributed. A detailed
description of the Museum, as well as a direct telephone line to the Museum, are
featured in a Visit Planning Kiosk at the new Charleston Visitor Reception and
Transportation Center.
Forty-four researchers used the archival collections during the year and
over two hundred and fifty written and oral requests for information were
received from national and international sources. Jane M. Yates, Director of the
Archives-Museum was acknowledged in the following publications: States Rights
Gist: A South Carolina General of the Civil War by Walter Cisco, White Main
Publishing Company, 1991 and The Emigrant from Zamboanga by Charles E. Saltzman,
1992. Donations to the Archives consisted of photographs, scrapbooks and diaries
related to cadet life at The Citadel.
The Citadel Afro American Society
presented the Museum with a photographic portrait of the first Black graduate of
The Citadel. Other donations included Citadel uniforms and related artifacts.

Greater Issues and John C. West Lectures

There were three Greater Issues addresses in the 1991-92 academic year. On
September 10, Lt. General Charles A. Horner, Commander 9th Air Force and the
Commander, United States Central Air Forces for Operation Desert Storm, spoke or1
the Desert Shield/Desert Storm experience. On February 25, Major General Barry
R. McCaffrey, Commanding General of the 24th Infantry Division, addressed the
ground war aspects of Desert Storm. On March 31, Dr. Harvey W. Schiller (Citadel
Class of 1960), Executive Director of the U.S. Olympic Committee, talked about
the forthcoming Olympic games in Atlanta .
The John C. West lecturer for this academic year was the Honorable Raymond
G. H. Seitz, American Ambassador to the Court of St. James. Ambassador Seitz on
February 25 spoke on U.S. - British relations and the evolving situation in
Europe.

Writing Center

The Writing Center served the college and community with a variety of
services during its eight year of operation. The Center continues to focus on
freshmen writing assistance while enhancing writing across the campus for all
students, faculty and staff. A staff of 1 Director, 1 Coordinator of Writing,
3 professional tutors, 5 graduate assistants, and 10 cadets conduct writing and
study skills tutorials and workshops regularly; they also provide word processing
assistance.
64

�USERS:
Number of users increased 87.3% with a total of 11,371 recorded
visits to The Center this year. Freshmen constituted over half of the volume
(5,689 visits) while Evening College and Graduate Students use increased 107.8%.
SERVICES: Writing instruction remains the primary focus of The Center and
this service increased by 90.48%. The number of writing workshops doubled from
16 to 32. Faculty involvement increased on several fronts: referring students,
consulting about Writing Across the Curriculum, assisting with tutor training, and
requesting study skills, word processing, and writing workshops for specific
classes.
The Study Skills Project, begun with CDF funds two years ago, evolved into
a program with formal workshops, group conferences, and individual instruction,
with an emphasis on service to probationary students. The project culminated in
the printing of a Learning Strategies manual to be used by all freshmen and
Academic Officers.
The Center also instigated a class for English as a Second Language (ESL)
students to help with their communication skills. Another project involved using
Speed Reading software in one class: every student at least doubled his reading
rate while retaining or improving his comprehension.
SPECIAL ACTIVITIES: Additional activities included visiting the Air Force
Academy, hosting the Military Learning Assistance Board (M-LAB) meeting, helping
with Burke students, assisting the sheriff's department with promotional exams,
and publishing THE WRITE TRACK, The Center's newsletter.

AA. Honors Program
At the beginning of its fifth year of operation, the Honors Program had 20
freshmen, 17 sophomores, 11 juniors, and 10 seniors in the program--a total of
58. Forty-five per cent came from South Carolina, with the rest arriving from
all parts of the country and the world, from Nevada to New Jersey to Japan. They
majored in a variety of fields: Electrical and Civil Engineering, History,
English, Mathematics, Computer Science, Biology, Business Administration, Modern
Languages, Physics, and Political Science.
At the beginning of the first semester, two students withdrew from the
college for personal reasons. After the first semester, six were separated from
the program for academic reasons, and three students were added to the program.
At the end of the year, a total of 53 students were enrolled.
Nine were
graduated in the spring. One sophomore was added after the end of the spring
semester. We anticipate admitting eighteen incoming freshmen for the fall, so
that at the beginning of AY 1992-93 the Honors Program will have 63 students.
The academic performance of Honors Program students in 1991-92 has been
outstanding. At the end of the year, the cumulative GPA for Honors students was
3.449; the average in Honors Program courses was 3.424, a difference of .025.
Freshmen in the program earned an average cumulative gpa of 3.588.
Honors Program students continue to provide exceptional leadership for the
Corps of Cadets. The following positions or awards were earned by Honors Program
students for next year: Regimental Commander, Regimental Executive Officer,
65

�Regimental Supply Officer, Regimental Academic Officer, Regimental Color
Sergeant, Regimental Supply Sergeant, Regimental Administrative Clerk, Regimental
Operations Clerk, Second Battalion Commander, First Battalion Sergeant Major,
Second Battalion Sergeant Major, Second Battalion Academic Officer, Third
Battalion Academic Officer, Third Battalion Administrative Clerk, and Fourth
Battalion Administrative Clerk, plus seven sergeants, one platoon leader, four
company clerks, and six corporals. And for the third year in a row (since we
have had seniors to be eligible) the Chairman of the Honor Court will be an
Honors Program student.
Post- graduate activities of the nine seniors who completed the Honors
Program indicate a high level of success: one student earned a Fulbright
Fellowship and will be studying in Germany, one earned a full fellowship to
attend the Georgetown University program in Latin American Studies, one earned
a scholarship to attend the University of Cincinnati School of Law, one will be
attending law school at The College of William and Mary, one will be attending
law school at the University of South Carolina, and four will enter military
service.
In addition, an Honors Program student earned early admission into medical
school; he was a sophomore when he earned this honor, and will complete his
education at The Citadel before going on to medical school. Another successfully
competed for an opportunity to spend a semester studying in Czechoslovakia in the
fall through a program sponsored by the National Collegiate Honors Council. And
another competed successfully for a semester-long position as a Congressional
Intern in Washington, D.C.

Institutional Research

The Office of Institutional research is responsible for providing responses
to internal and external inquiries for data and information about the college,
its student body and programs, and the preparation of reports to State and
Federal agencies.
Reporting
During 1991-92, 46 reports which provided data on the college's student
body, faculty, staff and academic programs were completed and submitted to the
SC Commission on Higher Education and the US Department of Education. The office
also provided data and information for the completion of the various college
reports to external agencies.
Information was also provided to the Southern
Association of Colleges and Schools, professional organizations and recruiting
services to satisfy their needs for data on our institution and students for
accreditation studies, their publications and enhancements of their data bases.
In addition to its reporting function, the office also responded to all ad hoc
requests from faculty and various departments for data and information about the
college.
66

�Student Recruitment and Retention Research
In response to requests from the Admissions and Registrar's offices,
Institutional Research initiated a series of research studies. The first survey
was designed to gain information about freshmen cadets. The second focused on
applicants who were accepted to the Corps of Cadets but decided not to attend The
Citadel. The Freshman Survey, which was mailed in February, 1992, yielded data
on freshmens choice of The Citadel, their satisfaction with college services, and
their persistence at the college.
It also provided pertinent demographic
information about the students and their families. The survey provided useful
information on the reasons cadets choose The Citadel, and the factors which
influence their success and retention during their freshman year. As a result
of the Freshman Survey subsequent research projects were planned to elicit
additional information to be used in increasing freshman retention and the
development of recruitment strategies.
The Accepted Student Survey was mailed between April and June, 1992, and was
designed to determine why applicants, who were accepted for admission to the
Corps of Cadets, did not matriculate. The information from that survey can be
used to further refine recruitment and admissions strategies, and may lead to the
development of new strategies to increase the numbers of students who accept
admission to the Corps of Cadets.

FACILITIES AND CONSTRUCTION

General

1991-92 saw the completion of many important construction
projects. The new mess hall was completed on time for the start of
the school year.
The old mess hall is in the process of being
demolished. This area after clearing will be the site of the first
new barracks.
Construction has continued on Bond Hall, however,
contract problems have caused the completion date to slip. Vandiver
Hall and Grimsley Hall have been completed, and the beach house
which was damaged beyond repair by Hurricane Hugo was demolished and
drawings for a new beach house are being reviewed.
An investigation . was made of the Barracks as to the
feasibility of renovation or replacement.
The investigation
revealed that replacement of the barracks would be in the best
interest of The Citadel as the current cost analysis shows
replacement to be less expensive than renovation.
The Beach Company has given as a gift the property directly in
front of the beach house on the Isle of Palms.
An environmental
study is underway to satisfy state requirements concerning the
acquisition of land for state use.
A hearing concerning the vibro compaction controversy and the
costs associated with testing for the new mess hall was held on
March 17, and the results approved by the State Engineer amounted to
an award of $62,557.32 to the contractor, Ruscon Corporation. The
Citadel is unable to appeal the decision to the Procurement Review
Panel by statute.
The Citadel is pursuing a course of action to
involve the design firm in paying for the award since the State
Engineer's decision was based on faulty specifications.
B.

Accomplishments

Coward Hall, the new mess hall, was completed a month ahead of
schedule at a cost of $5,775,000.
The facility was completed in
time for the arrival of cadets at the beginning of the school year.
There are some warranty items and construction defects that remain
at this time, however, these problems are in the process of being
corrected.
Grimsley Hall, named in honor of former Citadel president
James A. Grimsley, Jr. and member of the Class of '42, was completed
last summer at a project cost of $5,211,239. This modern facility
houses the Electrical Engineering Department and Physics Department.
The three-story building contains 58,000 square feet of space with
seven classrooms, two tiered-type classrooms, 16 labs, one dark
room, four student project rooms, a computer room, faculty offices,
research areas for the two departments, a rooftop observation deck,
and a 140-seat auditorium.
Funds to complete the auditorium at a
total cost of $225,000 were donated.
The auditorium is named in

68

�honor of Graham Copeland. This building is the first structure on
campus to be designed for seismic activity since the codes have
incorporated these requirements. The second floor was designed to
be aligned with the second floors of Letellier Hall and Thompson
Hall so that at some future date a corridor could be opened up to
connect all three buildings. The appearance and architecture of the
building is the traditional spanish-moorish style.
The Utility Systems Repair/Replacement Project was approved in
the 1991 Capital Improvement Bond Bill and is awaiting Joint Bond
Review Committee authorization of the proposed draw schedule to
release funds for the project. Most of The Citadel's infrastructure
was constructed when The Citadel moved to its present location in
1923 with little replacement.
The electrical system is not
compatible with the rest of the Charleston peninsula.
Presently,
the campus experiences frequent brownouts in the summer, low water
pressure especially in the barracks, and leaks, root intrusions and
blockages in our sewer and storm drainage lines. Due to the age of
these facilities we are no longer able to maintain the facilities
with normal repair and maintenance funds.
The Utility Systems
Repair/Replacement Project will upgrade our electrical system, water
distribution system, steam lines, sewer lines and storm drainage
lines. This project impacts on the well being of the entire campus,
especially the Corps of Cadets.
Vandiver Hall was also completed last summer, and dedication
services were held in November.
The $2.2 million dollar athletic
facility was named in honor of Colonel Thomas C. "Nap" Vandiver,
Class of '29, vice chairman emeritus of The Citadel Board of
Visitors.
Vandiver Hall contains 23,000 square feet of space and
houses coaches' offices, showers and dressing rooms for wrestling,
track soccer and golf. The second floor provides practice space for
baseball and competition areas for the wrestling squad.
A new Citadel Master Plan has been drafted, reviewed by the
staff and will soon be presented to the Board of Visitors for
approval to publish.
C.

Other Capital Improvement Projects

A Barracks Renovation project was initiated by contracting
with the engineering firm of Davis &amp; Floyd, Inc., to investigate the
existing conditions, analyze the code requirements and prepare a
cost estimate and analyses to determine the most cost effective
means of improving the barracks to include total replacement. The
investigation yielded that the most cost effective solution is to
replace all the barracks with new construction.
The project cost
estimate is approximately $45,000,000, subject to adjustments for
inflation.
The addition of individually controlled room air conditioning
to the guest rooms on the third floor of Mark Clark Hall was
completed.

�Landscaping to replace what was destroyed by the 1989
hurricane as well as routine landscape requirements have been on
going. The Citadel has planted several trees donated by friends and
alumni. In addition, The Citadel received a $5,000 matching grant
from the Small Business Administration for planting trees.
The steam line that crossed the northeast corner of the parade
field which has been leaking and killing the grass has been
replaced. The steam line has been rerouted behind Jenkins and Mark
Clark Halls.
The beach house remains have been removed, a new fence
installed, and the beach revetment rebuilt. The design of the new
building is completed and will be bid during FY 92-93.
Estimated
cost is $1,000,000.
The design for relocating the cadet canteen to the old bowling
alley is complete and will be bid in FY 92-93.
Estimated cost is
$700,000.
The roof on Letellier Hall was replaced.
The steam absorption chiller in Capers Hall was replaced with
a more efficient electric chiller. South Carolina Electric and Gas
provided The Citadel a rebate of $600 for energy conservation by
putting in the efficient chiller.
Construction documents for the asbestos abatement and
demolition for old Coward Hall were completed.
Estimated project
cost is $674,000. The project will be bid in FY 92-93.
The interior renovation of Daniel Library was completed.
included painting through out, window tinting, and floor
modifications on the third floor.

Physical Plant

The overall theme in the Physical Plant this year has been
funding shortfalls. No activity is harder hit in times of budgetary
restrictions than the maintenance department.
Our Physical Plant
department was no exception this year, but everyone responded to the
challenge of maintaining effectiveness in the face of dwindling
resources. Although much needed maintenance had to be deferred for
yet another year, overall campus operations and commitments were
met.
Additionally, cost saving initiatives resulted in the
department returning funds at the end of the year to offset the
projected deficit.
Utility expenditures are amongst the largest and most
difficult to control items in the Physical Plant budget.
As a
result, our cost cutting efforts were concentrated in this area.
Projections of utility costs were established at the beginning of

70

�the year based on historical data and engineering judgment. These
projects became our target for cost saving initiatives and the
yardstick against which we measure our progress. Although funding
levels were significantly below the projections, our conservation
efforts, together with favorable weather conditions, enabled us to
return more than $162,000 of funds which were not needed to pay
utility bills.
Several major initiatives contributed to this savings:
1.
Manual peak load shedding - During the hot summer
months, we typically reach a maximum or "peak" level of
electrical energy consumption.
Unfortunately, due to
the power company's rate schedule, we pay for at least
80% of this level each month, all year long, whether we
use that much or not. Obviously, the lower we can keep
the peak, the less we'll pay for electricity annually.
We significantly lowered our peak this year by turning
air conditioning systems off at times when we suspected
we were nearing a peak.
2. Careful energy monitoring - Throughout the year, we
insured that energy consuming systems were on only when
needed and set at reasonable levels when on.
3.
Change in irrigation schedules - By changing to a
three times per week irrigation schedule from a daily
schedule, significant savings were realized with minimum
effect on campus landscaping.
4.
Installation of laundry condensate return - Major
energy waste was halted by installing a condensate
return line from the laundry, thus eliminating loss of
large amounts of already heated water.
As we look to the future in energy consumption, we are
scheduled to be under contract by 1 September for the direct
procurement of our own unregulated natural gas.
If this program
materializes as projected, we will save almost $250,000 on natural
gas annually. We are also hopeful that our suggestion to extend the
Thanksgiving break to a full week will allow us to go "cold iron"
and reap the resultant energy savings.
Other cost saving measures resulted in the return of more than
$75,000 of non-utility Physical Plant funding which aided materially
in reducing the College's deficit.
Included among our initiatives
in this area were:
1. Changing janitor contract frequencies from five to
three times weekly.
Although service levels were
reduced, critical areas such as restrooms were kept at
the old frequency to minimize the effect of the
reductions.

71

�2. Prudent reductions in levels of casualty insurance
coverage, recognizing the unlikely probability of
"total" loss of any one facility.
3.
Transportation fleet reductions of under-utilized
vehicles.
4. Minimizing overtime by maximum use of compensatory
time and shifting of work schedules.
5. Performing vehicle rehabilitations in-house instead
of commercially.
By painting vehicles ourselves, we
stretched our budget dollars and improved the appearance
of the fleet, which contributed to The Citadel's image
and employee morale.
Administratively, much was done this year to improve the
functioning of the Physical Plant. Some of the highlights include:
1.

Preventative Maintenance System streamlining.

2.
Institution of a system for
documentation of warranty claims.

notification

and

3.
Conversion of a grounds division position to the
HVAC shop to improve service.
4.

Publication of Campus Safety Plan.

5.

Procurement of a Navy surplus backhoe.

We hope these and numerous other on-going improvements were
responsible for the noticeable decrease in facility deficiencies
cited in this year's Mid-Year Review.
LTC Schottler was active in the South Carolina Association of
Physical Plant Administrators this year.
In addition to attending
the regional conference at Hilton Head last fall, as a Board member,
he attended this spring's board meeting at Myrtle Beach, where he
proposed initiatives to develop the organization's standing as an
advisory group and authority on facility maintenance issues.
The
Board is also active in providing meaningful and economical midlevel supervisory training sessions and is compiling, for reference,
a list of the numerous regulations Physical Plant Directors must
deal with currently. LTC Schottler also appeared before the Wagner
Terrace Homeowners' Association Meeting to brief them on and obtain
their approval of our proposal for a greenhouse behind the Physical
Plant shops.
The Physical Plant encountered several staff changes during
the past fiscal year, both in administrative and trades positions.
Mrs. Jenkins, our accounting tech, resigned after a long illness,
leaving another 16 week period in which it was necessary for her
duties to be picked up by our other 2 administrative positions.

72

�Mrs. Bastian, our business manager, had back surgery in January, and
was out almost 3 months, leaving only one employee to hold down the
duties of 3, since we had not been able to fill our vacancy.
However, Mrs. Montgomery (who was promoted to the accounting tech
position), along with the Physical Plant Director, managed to keep
the physical plant running with little or no notice to the "outside"
world.
In addition, we lost our deputy director and two machine shop
supervisors early in 1992, also leaving vacancies to be filled after
the required 16 week delay. These positions will be filled after 1
July 1992.
Though the physical plant has undergone these personnel
vacancies/changes, work has continued and many projects were
completed during this period.
GROUNDS AND CONTRACT SERVICES DIVISION:
The completion of 3 new
buildings during this period instigated support requirements from
the physical plant, to include, the labor necessary to move
employees and equipment into offices, installing locks for each
facility, some painting and incidental carpentry items that were not
included as part of the original contract.
Landscaping was also
provided in-house for these facilities.
In addition, with the
start-up of the Bond Hall Renovation project, all employees and
necessary equipment were moved into trailers set up on Kovats Field.
This entailed all areas of Bond Hall except for the executive wing.
Telephones were installed in all building passenger elevators
to meet code requirements. The Infirmary was treated for formosan
termites by tenting the building. It was also necessary to retreat
quarters 2 Hammond Avenue again, this was performed under the
warranty since this unit had been tented in the past.
Many trees
and stumps damaged by HUGO were removed by in-house labor. Some of
this work had been delayed until a time when cadets were on break
and it was deemed safer to perform this type work. Barracks 1 and
2 had furniture refurbished during this period - a momentous task,
considering furniture was double handled in this process.
BUILDINGS DIVISION: Renovated IRM office in Bond Hall and IRM lab
in Capers Hall. Great effort was expended to make as many of Capers
Hall windows operational, as possible. An office was constructed in
Summerall Chapel and associated chapel work in Mark Clark Hall was
performed. Mark Clark Hall reception room was repainted in addition
to the executive area of the third floor. All barracks guardrooms
and front entrances were improved and spruced up.
Quads of all
barracks were repainted prior to the cadets return in August '91.
Computer rooms and bathroom ceilings and trim were painted in each
barracks. Barracks 1 and 3 stairwells were repainted, others were
power washed. All guard sentry "turrets" were repainted. With the
upcoming project to demolish the old Coward Hall building, as many
roof tiles as could be saved were removed to be used as replacements
on other similar buildings, as necessary. In addition, the roof was

73

�protected with felt paper, until such time as the asbestos could be
removed prior to demolition.
Mr. Mike Smith of our paint shop
attended a class and is now certified in proper methods of handling
asbestos.
Twenty-seven faculty quarters units were repaired and
repainted due to occupant moves; 10 stucco, 6 in the apartment
building, 4 duplex units, 5 junior faculty apartments, 1 bachelor
and 1 maintenance unit.
In addition to this interior work, the
exterior of 71-75 Hagood ·was repainted.
UTILITIES DIVISION: Assisted in the wiring for the elevator phones.
Removed and replaced wiring in over 30 rooms in the barracks.
Reworked the parade field sound system and reran the power lines for
street lights which used to come from old Coward Hall.
Provided
assistance to the contractors in the PCB removal from the
transformers at the Library, Jenkins and Mark Clark Halls.
The
Stadium emergency lighting system was repaired. Electrical repairs
were performed at the Beach Club. Sun porch of 2 Hammond required
rewiring after termite damage was repaired.
Barracks 1 hot water
piping was redone and roof drain repairs made to Barracks 2 and 3.
Upon shutdown immediately after graduation, steam lines were
inspected and repairs made as required.
During this shutdown,
boilers were inspected and received certification.
Of the 27
quarters units that were repaired, several required complete renewal
of bathroom fixtures and tile due to the age of these units.
In
addition, rewiring and replacement of outdated lighting fixtures
were accomplished.
OPERATIONS DIVISION: Four boating classes were held with 175 of the
200 enrollees completing the course.
The channel was dredged with
approximately 30,000 cubic yards of material being removed.
This
brought about increased utilization of boating equipment, since
trailering was no longer necessary. However, with this increase in
use, increase in maintenance and repairs has been required. Though
funds to upgrade our boats/motors and trailers have not been
provided for the past four years, equipment has seen hard use, and
maintenance has been provided on a regular basis.
Due to the age
·and continued maintenance, turn around time for re-use may not
always be as quick as it is when more modern/updated equipment is
available. Personnel and facility support for the Police Olympics
was provided during this period.
Defensive Driving Courses were held on campus for all persons
who are required to drive a state motor vehicle as a part of their
job.
Driving records were reviewed and Safe Driving Awards were
given for those qualifying.
A formal Accident Review Board was
established and the first meeting was held in August '91 to review
13 vehicle accidents.
The second meeting was held in June '92 to
review 8 accidents. Orange safety cones were provided to all shop
vehicles to be utilized whenever the vehicle is parked.
This was
done in an effort to make the operators look around the vehicle
prior to moving it, hopefully this will reduce accidents.
An
Interagency State Motor Pool was established with the delivery of
nine new vehicles in late March '92. This Interagency pool has been

74

�very successful. In its first month of operation, it made a profit
for DMVM.
The Citadel has been a beneficiary of this pool in
several ways:
reduced vehicle
costs,
additional vehicle
availability and additional vehicles more convenient to motor pool
operation.
Several cost saving programs were instigated during
period, both to cut costs and to provide help to occupants.

this

1.

Quarters window and screen repair for occupant
comfort and energy conservation.

2.

The policy for quarters interior painting being
limited to off-white color only was strictly
enforced this year.

3.

There was a vigorous pursuit of barracks damage
reimbursement.

A new "self-help" program is soon to be published in the
quarters manual to increase quarters maintenance with minimal fund
expenditure.

Finance &amp; Business Affairs

Finance:

Fiscal Year 1991-92 continued the downward trend in funding for Higher
Education in South Carolina which started in Fiscal Year 1989-90 and continued
in FY 1990-91. Fiscal Year 1990-91 was initially funded at 87.8% but was reduced
by 3% during the year. Fiscal Year 1991-92 was initially funded at only 80.3%
of the Commission on Higher Education Formula.
That was then reduced by a
Governor's veto of .6% in June, and was followed by a 1% cut from the Budget &amp;
Control Board on 30 July as well as a directive to sequester 2% of the
appropriations until a final decision as of 1 January 1992. Those funds were
subsequently withdrawn. Finally, an additional 1% reduction was directed by the
Budget &amp; Control Board on 11 February 1992. The final level of funding after the
four cuts noted above was only 75.7% of the CHE Formula. As a result of this
extremely low level of funding, the lowest for Higher Education in at least ten
years, The Citadel had to take unusual measures to absorb the cuts and still
provide the quality academic offerings required. The college extended its hiring
delay from 12 weeks to 16 weeks; we further cut non-personnel support areas such
as supplies, travel, and contractual services; and we instituted a strict control
over energy use in an effort to reduce utilities costs. Finally, on 11 May 1992,
the President directed a complete freeze on expenditures of non-personnel funds
except for those purchases required to support Summer School or to support the
Physical Plant's requirements for approved projects. As a result of these severe
budget reduction measures, the college was able to finish the fiscal year in the
black.
The following table reflects State Appropriations levels for The Citadel
over the past four years and shows the projected funding for the coming year:

The Citadel Trust, Incorporated, became an incorporated entity as of 1 July
1992 in accordance with authority granted by the South Carolina General Assembly.
The new eleemosynary corporation was established to assume responsibility for the
investment management of the college's scholarship and other endowment funds

76

�which had previously been managed by The Citadel Board of Visitors.
The five
Directors of The Citadel Trust, Incorporated, were appointed by The Citadel Board
of Visitors.
The five directors are COL Thomas C. Vandiver, Mr. J.L. Keitt
Purcell, Mr. Robert B. Scarborough, COL Charles L. (Buddy) Terry, and Mr. W.
Burke Watson. The Citadel turned all of the college-managed funds over to the
Trust for investment management. The college staff will provide accounting and
administrative services for the Trust on a fully reimbursable basis.
The
financial statements of the Trust will be audited annually by an independent
auditor.
The college again received an "unqualified" op~n~on on its audited
financial statements for Fiscal Year 1990-91. This attests to the good financial
practices at the college, and it is a positive factor to be considered when the
college issues bonds.
The audit for Fiscal Year 1990-91 was performed by the
State Auditor's staff after several years of audits contracted to private firms.
Preliminary action has been initiated with the State Treasurer's staff and
bond attorneys to develop information required in the event the college
determines that it will fund at least a portion of the cost of the anticipated
barracks renovation project by the issue of Revenue Bonds. Such an issue would
most likely involve the largest single bond issue in the college's history and
would require very detailed documentation of the college's financial viability
and projected stream of barracks fees revenue to support the debt service
payments required.
The Citadel's Procurement Services staff continues to perform in an
exceptional manner w:.. , l:li.n its ~:&gt;cal procurement authority of $30,000.
The
Procurement Services staff processed 63 Invitations for Bid during the fiscal
year with no vendor protests. The automated purchasing system was upgraded and
brought on line as of 1 March 1992. The Procurement Service staff developed all
associated training materials and provided training in the enhanced system for
all academic departments and support activities.
The Director of Procurement
Services continues to function as the college's Minority Business Enterprise
Officer and has been active in minority business affairs in the Lowcountry. He
developed and co-sponsored a MBE seminar on "How to do Business with State
Agencies."
The Citadel continues to benefit from its designation as a Service
Educational Activity (SEA) by the Department of Defense.
This designation
permits the college to gain priority access to Department of Defense surplus
property at minimal cost to the college. The Citadel obtained property valued
at more than $153,000 this fiscal year to include heavy equipment, general
maintenance supplies, and other equipment. The college also sponsored its first
"Citadel Garage Sale" of college-owned surplus property which had been declared
"junk" by the State Surplus Property Office. Over $15,000.00 was realized from
that sale and other local sales approved by the State. The funds generated by
these local sales will be used to purchase like items required by the college.
The Controller's Office was also involved in the upgrade of the Procurement
System as well as the implementation of FRS Plus, an improved version of the
basic financial accounting software package utilized by the college.
The
Grants/Loans accounting position was transferred from the Office of the
Controller to the Treasurer's Office in order to consolidate billings and
receivables for student loans and grant receivables in the same office where

77

�student, customer, and general receivables were already handled. This action
should not only streamline the system but should permit more direct control and
supervision over these essential functions.
B.

Auxiliary Service Activities:

The Cadet Store has enjoyed another very successful year during FY 1991-92.
Revenue collections for this college year will exceed $2,600,000--an increase of
more than $200,000 from last fiscal year.
The Cadet Store continues to be
successful in computer sales under the educational discount programs. We have
continued to increase sales of used textbooks by purchasing more used textbooks
from wholesalers and increasing buy-back from our students. The Cadet Store also
implemented a new requirement this year to procure and sell telephones, answering
machines, and accessories to ~he Corps of Cadets.
The Tailor Shop enjoyed a very successful year during FY 91-92. Revenue
collections as of year end amounted to $917,430.00.
In a very lean year, we
sustained cuts with no reduction of personnel or services. Our personnel are
stable with no turnover or retirements. Five hundred eight-five freshmen were
measured, fitted, and had uniforms altered, beginning in August and finishing in
late February.
An annual inventory audit was held in late May, revealing
$61,494.10 left in stock which will be used to meet requirements for the Class
of 1996.
This reflects a slight increase over last year due to our ongoing
efforts to have more advance stock on hand to facilitate fittings needed for
immediate use. This year, due to competitive bidding, a new vendor was awarded
the Blazer Ensemble contract affording a considerable savings to the cadets.
Through a Uniform Board decision, an alternative fabric for the cadet dress white
uniform was selected due to shrinkage problems with the material previously used.
Wear/laundry tests were accomplished on the new dress white fabric with very
positive results. The board also made a decision to issue three pairs of High
Rise Trousers versus two pairs of regular and two pairs of High-Rise since the
High Rise Trousers can be used both ways--dress and full dress. These decisions
will be incorporated into the initial clothing issue for the Class of 1996 and
will result in reduced costs to the cadets.
Contracts have been firmed with
Thorngate Uniforms for the Class of 1996 and M. Dumas and Sons for Blazer
Ensembles for the Class of 1994. The Tailor Shop is processing some 8, 000 pieces
of uniforms to include repair, class striping, rank chevron installation, dry
cleaning, mothproofing, and pressing during the summer to make ready for the
return of the Corps of Cadets in August.
The Laundrv and Drv Cleaners continued to provide outstanding support for
the Corps of Cadets.
Although no new laundry and dry cleaning equipment was
purchased for the 1991-92 fiscal year, plans are underway to purchase dry-to-dry,
dry cleaning units for installation early in FY 1992-93. This will place The
Citadel above the standards required by O.S.H.A. for the upcoming year.

*This is an increase of 244 uniforms and an increase of 7,381 pounds

The Print Shop's modest revenue growth continued this fiscal year
(approximately $20,000). The demand for full color printing has continued to
increase.
Installation of a Risograph digital duplicator has dramatically
reduced operational costs in the "Quick Copy" area, thereby improving turnaround
time. Installation of an air filtration system has greatly improved both print
quality and air quality. Employee cross training continues to yield benefits in
keeping up production schedules. One of the collators was completely rebuilt to
"like new" condition for less than $500, and this has doubled the sheet-collating
capacity.
The management computer system was upgraded to a true, multi-user
system enabling the use of data from two terminals.
This has impacted
significantly on the ability to provide customers fast and accurate quotations
and helped get jobs into production faster. The old "Total Copy System" press
was rebuilt into an envelope specialty press which more than doubled the
production speed for envelopes; cost was less than $1,000. The old folder was
refurbished which added an additional 70% to the folding capacity; cost was less
than $1,000. The binder used for binding of the catalogue, Guidon, and similar
publications is beyond repair; parts are no longer available. This is priority
requirement which will be addressed during FY 1992-93.
The Citadel Gift Shop operations have continued to provide services for the
Cadet Corps and the Citadel alumni, staff, and supporters. The store operated
the concession sales for gift merchandise at Johnson-Hagood Stadium for the
second year.
Department profits were generated by store sales, barber shop
services, and commissions from the contracted services for the fountain, vending
machines, coin laundry, and amusement machines.
Product availability was
advertised more this year than during previous years. Kirkman Sports Marketing
and Productions announced our ads on The Citadel Sports Network radio broadcasts
to include the pre-game shows.
This also gave extra support to the Athletic
program as a Citadel Sports Sponsor for the radio broadcast. Also, the store
coordinated with the Alumni Association to publish and distribute a gift shop
catalog, "The Citadel Collection" (fall 1991). This was a first for the Gift
Shop and was rated a success. The Gift Shop store sales have been exceptional
considering the economic conditions for FY 1991-92.
As of year end, store
receipts totaled $1,341,857- -an increase over last year of $97,800.
The
convenience of the QM charge system continues to be utilized for the benefit of
the cadets and The Citadel.
During the school year the Cadet Quartermaster
Accounts were used to charge $471,056 for haircuts, school supplies, and health
&amp; comfort products. The first year of the vending services contract with WOMETCO
has been profitable for the department. More than the guaranteed commissions are
expected due to the increased sales for snack food machines. Negotiations with
the contractor to ensure continued improvement in the volume of canned drink
sales are in progress.
Plans are being finalized for a new snack bar and
fountain service facility. When completed, the new facility will be located in
the area which previously housed the bowling alley. This will allow expansion
of the Gift Shop and will provide additional space for merchandise display and

79

�employee work areas. An in-depth study and review of both the Cadet Store and
the Gift Shop services for the feasibility to contract such services has been
ongoing this fiscal year. The recommendations of an independent committee of
faculty and staff members was due to the President early in FY 1992-93.
The Citadel Infirmary continued its outstanding, 24-hour service for the
Corps of Cadets. Cadets visited the doctor 2,048 times in 1991-92 and saw the
nurses 8,381 times. Administrative visits totaled 190, and 318 allergy shots
were administered. Upon a DHEC Drug Enforcement inspection, no problems were
found and all outdated narcotics were destroyed at the time by the pharmacist and
the DHEC agent.
ARA Services continued to provide excellent food service for the Corps of
Cadets and the administration. The Dining Services accomplished its move from
Coward Hall to the new Cadet Dining Facility on 17 August.
The first meal-lunch- -was served on 18 August to the incoming band members of the Class of 1995.
Family-style meals were served to approximately 2,000 cadets during the school
year, and approximately 400 campers enrolled in the Summer Camp for Boys program.
Additionally, cafeteria-style meals were served in the summer to Summer School
students and participants enrolled in The Citadel athletic camps.
Dining
Services also supported approximately 800 catered functions during the year, such
as pre-game buffets at the President's house, receptions, class reunions, alumni
activities, Board of Visitors' functions, and approximately 500 student
activities--cookouts, box lunches, club dinners, and regimental functions.

D.

Financial Review of Operations for Fiscal Year 1991-92

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 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

82

�past fiscal year, loans of $96,943 were made from the Stackhouse, CDF, and the
Perkins Loan Funds to 73 students. At 30 June 1992, outstanding student loans
receivables aggregated $772,048. Our Perkins default rate was 7.51 percent.
Endowment and Similar Funds represent gifts, bequests,
received which fall into one of two categories:

or other funds

(1) Permanent Endowment Funds for which the original donor has stipulated,
as a condition of the gift, that the principal is to be maintained inviolate and
in perpetuity and only the income resulting from the investment of the fund may
be expended; (2)
Quasi-endowment funds which are not restricted by donor
limitations 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, tuition, and special fees
collected from the students 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 $860,876 in fees, $494 in other revenue, and $162,068 in interest income for
a total receipt of $1,023,438.
The expenses recorded for bond retirement
including interest transfers and service charges totaled $775,362. 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, construction in progress, 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 1992 is $76,893,716. Debt owed for completed buildings is included in
this fund. Outstanding debt at 30 June 1992 was $7,053,999.
Unexpended Plant Funds balance as of 30 June 1992 amounted to $3,961,195.
Renewals and Replacement Fund balances as of 30 June 1992 totaled $855,189.

8.3

�These funds are distributed among eight accounts: barracks, telephones, dining
hall, infirmary, laundry, print shop, computer acquisition, and rehabilitation
reserve.

�THE CITADEL
The Military College of South Carolina
Notes to Financial Statements
June 30, 1992
NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Reporting Entity
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 basic, but not
the only, criterion for including a component unit in the reporting entity is the
governing body's oversight responsibility over such component unit. The funds of
The Citadel are included in the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report of the
State of South Carolina. The Board of Visitors, which has seven members appointed
by the General Assembly, three by the Association of Citadel Men and one by the
Governor, is the governing body of The Citadel. Accordingly, as such it
administers, has jurisdiction over, and is responsible for the management of The
Citadel. The reporting entity operates as an autonomous component unit. 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 and do not include any other component units of the State
of South Carolina.

Accrual Basis
The financial statements of The Citadel 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
assets, interest on loans to students is recorded when collected, and revenue
from tuition and student fees for summer sessions is reported totally within the
fiscal year in which the session is primarily conducted. The statement of current
funds revenues, expenditures, and other changes is a statement of financial
activities of current funds related to the current reporting period. The
statement does not purport to present the results of operations or the net income
or loss for the period as would a statement of income or a statement of revenue
and expenses.
To the extent that current funds are used to finance plant assets, the amounts
so provided are accounted for as (l) expenditures, in the case of alterations and
renovations and purchases and normal replacement 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 nonrnandatory nature in all
other cases.

Fund Accounting
In order to ensure observance of limitations and restrictions placed on the use
of the resources available to The Citadel, the accounts are maintained in
accordance with the principles of fund accounting. This is the procedure by which
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; however,
in the
accompanying

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Fund Accounting
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.
Within each fund group, fund balances restricted by outside sources are so
indicated 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 owned
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 revenue in unrestricted
current funds.
All other unrestricted revenues are accounted for in the unrestricted current
funds. Restricted gifts, grants, appropriations, endowment income, and other
restricted resources are accounted for in the appropriate restricted funds.
The Current Funds group includes those economic resources which are expendable
for operating purposes to perform the primary missions of The Citadel, which are
instruction, research, and public service. For a more meaningful disclosure, the
current funds are divided into two subgroups: unrestricted and restricted.
Separate accounts are maintained for auxiliary enterprises operations in the
unrestricted current funds. Current funds are considered unrestricted unless the
restrictions imposed by the donor or other external agency are so specific that
they substantially reduce The Citadel's flexibility in their utilization.
Unrestricted gifts are recognized as revenue when received. Receipts that are
restricted are recorded initially as additions to restricted fund balances and
recognized as revenue to the extent that such funds are expended for the
restricted purposes during the current fiscal year.
Auxiliary enterprises are essentially self-supporting business entities and
activities that exist for the purpose of furnishing goods and services primarily
to students, faculty, staff, or departments and for which charges are made that
directly relate to such goods and services. Revenue and expenditures
are
reported separately as unrestricted current funds.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Current Funds (Continued)
balances are combined with other unrestricted current funds for reporting
purposes;
however,
each separate enterprise maintains its own assets,
liabilities, and fund balance. Auxiliary enterprises activities
include athletics, barracks, cadet store, dining hall, infirmary, and canteen.
The Loan Funds group accounts for the resources available for loans to students
from donors and government agencies. Loan funds have been divided into those
provided by the federal government and those provided by other sources.
Expenditures include costs of loan collections,
loan cancellations and
collectibility reserves, and administrative costs under the federal loan
programs. Loan fund cash and cash equivalents includes a restricted loan
participation deposit of $16,000.
The Endowment and Similar Funds group includes permanent endowment funds and
funds functioning as endowments (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. While quasi-endowment
funds have been established by the governing board for the same purposes as
permanent endowment funds, subject to any restrictions imposed by the donor of
the resources, any unrestricted portion of the principal as well as income may
be expended at the discretion of the governing board . The term "principal" is
construed to include the original value of an endowment and subsequent additions
and realized gains/losses attributable to investment transactions.
The Plant Funds group consists of four self-balancing subgroups: (1) unexpended
plant funds, (2) funds for renewals and replacements (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 routine renewal and
replacement of existing plant assets which are not reported in the renewals and
replacements subgroup. Resources specifically set aside and accumulated for major
renewals and replacements of institutional properties are recorded in the
separate subgroup. The retirement of indebtedness subgroup accounts for resources
that are specifically accumulated for interest and principal payments, debt
service reserve funds, and other debt service charges related to plant fund
indebtedness. The investment in plant subgroup accounts for all long-life assets
in the service of The Citadel, all construction in progress, and related debt for
funds borrowed and expended for the acquisition of plant assets included in this
fund subgroup. Net investment in plant represents the excess of the carrying
value of assets
over liabilities. Major additions to plant assets
and
inventoriable equipment with a unit value in excess of $500 are capitalized.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
The Agency Funds 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 Citadel. They include
the accounts of students, student organizations, and other groups directly
associated with The Citadel.

Indirect Cost Recoveries
The Citadel records as unrestricted revenue recoveries of indirect costs
applicable to government sponsored programs at negotiated fixed rates for each
year. The recoveries are also recorded as additions and deductions of restricted
current funds. Indirect cost recoveries must be remitted to the State General
Fund except those received under research and student aid grants which may be
retained by The Citadel.

Risk Management
The Citadel pays insurance premiums to certain other State agencies to cover
risks that may occur in normal operations. Several State funds accumulate assets
and the State itself assumes all risks for the following:
1. Claims of State employees for unemployment compensation benefits,
2. Claims of covered employees for workers' compensation benefits,
3. Claims of covered employees for health, dental, and group-life insurance
benefits, and
4. Claims benefits in covered medical malpractice cases.
In addition, The Citadel pays premiums to the State's Insurance Reserve Fund
which accumulates assets to cover the following losses:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Real property and its contents,
Motor vehicles,
General tort claims,
Medical malpractice claims against covered employees, and
Business interruption.

The Insurance Reserve Fund purchases insurance coverage for a portion of these
liabilities.

Accrued Annual Leave
State employees are entitled to accrue and carry forward at calendar year-end 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 State employment,
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 an expenditure in the current year.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

Investment in Plant
Physical plant and equipment, except for certain plant assets acquired prior to
July 1, 1985, and equipment under capital lease, are stated at cost at the date
of acquisition or fair market value at the date of donation in the case of gifts.
Land and buildings acquired prior to July 1, 1985, are stated at historical cost
when determinable or at approximate historical cost determined by an independent
appraisal. Equipment additions purchased through capital leases or installment
purchase contracts are capitalized in the investment in plant fund subgroup in
the year of acquisition at their total cost, excluding interest charges.
Equipment under capital leases is stated at the lower of the present value of
minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term or fair value at the
inception of the lease. Payments of principal and interest on such contracts are
recorded in the retirement of indebtedness fund subgroup of the plant funds group
as the installments are paid.
Construction expenditures are recorded at cost in the unexpended plant fund or
renewals and replacement fund when incurred and capitalized as construction in
progress in the investment in plant fund subgroup as incurred. Upon the
completion of the project, the costs are capitalized in the appropriate asset
account.
Library books and microfilms are recorded at average cost.
Inventoriable equipment with a unit value in excess of $500 and having an
expected life in excess of two years has been capitalized. Expenditures from
current funds for acquisition of capital assets are recorded in both the current
funds expenditure accounts of the various operating departments and in the
investment in plant fund subgroup of the plant funds group.
When plant assets are sold, retired, or otherwise disposed of, the carrying value
at cost or appraised approximate historical cost, where applicable, is removed
from the investment in plant subgroup. In accordance with practices followed by
educational institutions, depreciation on physical plant and equipment is not
recorded.

Deferred Revenues
In unrestricted current funds, deferred revenues primarily consist of receipts
collected in advance for student fees, athletic events, or advertising which
amounts have not been earned. Deferred revenues of restricted current funds
primarily represent contract and grant funds received but not yet earned which
generally are recognized in the period in which the expenditures are incurred.

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
Student Deposits and Unearned Student Revenues
Student deposits represent prepaid fees by students for succeeding semesters and
various other deposits. Student deposits are recognized as revenue during the
semester for which the fee is applicable and earned when the deposit is
nonrefundable to the student under the terms of the agreement.
Prepaid Items
Expenditures for insurance and similar services paid for in the current or prior
fiscal years and benefitting more than one accounting period are allocated among
accounting periods. For The Citadel amounts reported in this asset account
consist primarily of prepaid insurance .
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents represent petty cash, cash on deposit in banks, cash
deposited with the State Treasurer, and cash invested in various instruments as
a part of the State's cash management pool. Because the cash management pool
operates as a demand deposit account, amounts invested in the pool are classified
as cash and cash equivalents. The State Treasurer administers the cash management
pool. The pool includes some long-term investments such as 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 corporate bonds.

Most State agencies including The Citadel participate in the cash management
pool. For The Citadel's activities excluded from the pool, cash equivalents
include investments in short-term, highly liquid securities having a short-term
maturity.
The State's cash management pool consists of a general deposit account and
several special deposit accounts. The State records each fund's equity interest
in the general deposit account; however, all earnings on that account are
credited to the General Fund of the State. Investments in the pool are recorded
at cost. Amortization of premiums and discounts is allocated and reported as
interest income. Interest earned by the agency's special deposit accounts is
posted to the agency's account at the end of each month and is retained by the
agency. Interest earnings are allocated based on the percentage of an agency's
accumulated daily interest receivable to the total undistributed interest
received by the pool.
Although the cash management pool includes some long-term investments, it
operates as a demand deposit account; therefore, for credit risk information
pertaining to the cash management pool, see the deposits disclosures in Note 15.

NOTE 2 - STATE APPROPRIATIONS
The Citadel receives annual appropriations for operations as authorized by the
General Assembly of 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 Citadel. State appropriated
amounts that are not expended by fiscal year-end lapse and are required to be
returned to the General Fund of the State unless The Citadel receives
authorization from the General Assembly to carry the funds over to the next year.

NOTE 3 - STATE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT BONDS
In prior years, the State authorized funds for improvements and expansion of
facilities using the proceeds of state capital improvement bonds. As capital
projects are authorized by the State Budget and Control Board, the bond proceeds
are allocated to the projects. The Citadel records the proceeds as revenue and
the bond issue costs as expenditures in the unexpended plant and renewals and
replacements funds subgroups,
as applicable.

NOTE 6 - CAPITAL LEASE OBLIGATIONS (CONTINUED)
Capital leases are generally payable in monthly installments from the retirement of
indebtedness subgroup of the plant funds group and have terms expiring in various years
between 1993 and 1995. Expenditures for fiscal year 1992 were $192,690, of which $17,862
represented interest. Interest rates range from 7% to 11%.
Certain capital leases provide for renewal and/or purchase options. Generally purchase
options at bargain prices of one dollar are exercisable at the expiration of the lease terms.
The Citadel had no capital leases with related parties in the current fiscal year.
NOTE 7 - TRANSFER OF EXCESS DEBT SERVICE FUNDS
The Citadel transferred $1,148,549 in 1992 from the retirement of indebtedness (debt service)
fund subgroup to the unexpended plant fund. The funds were available for transfer because of
the maintenance of minimum balances, including reserves for payment of debt service as
required by law. All of the transfers were approved by the State Budget and Control Board.
NOTE 8 - RETIREMENT PLANS
The majority of employees of The Citadel are covered by a retirement plan through the South
Carolina Retirement System (SCRS), a cost-sharing, multiple-employer, defined benefit public
employee retirement system. Generally all State employees are required to participate in and
contribute to the System as a condition of employment unless exempted by law. This plan
provides annuity benefits as well as disability and group-life insurance benefits to eligible
employees and retirees.
Plan benefits are established by State law. Employees are eligible for a service retirement
annuity upon reaching age 65 or completion of 30 years credited service. The benefit formula
effective July 1, 1989, for the System is 1.82% 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.

NOTE 8 - RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)
The Citadel's total covered payroll for the fiscal year was $15,487,956 of total personal
service expenditures paid of $15,278,637. Effective July 1, 1988, employees are required to
contribute 6% of all compensation. Effective July 1, 1991, the employer contribution rate
became 9.191%. The contribution requirements for the year ended June 30, 1992, wen~
$1,387,676 from the employer and $916,722 from employees.
The Citadel's 1992 contributions
represented less than 1% of total contributions required of all participating entities. Also,
The Citadel paid employer group-life insurance contributions of $23,231 in the current fiscal
year.
The South Carolina Police Officers Retirement System (PORS) is a cost-sharing multipleemployer, defined benefit public employee retirement system. Generally all full- time
employees whose principal duties are the preservation of public order or the protection or
prevention and control of property destruction by fire are required to participate in and
contribute to the System as a condition of employment. This plan provides annuity benefits
as well as disability and group-life insurance benefits to eligible employees and retirees.
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.
Plan benefits are established by State law. Employees 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. A member is vested for a deferred annuity with 5 years service. The benefit formula
for full benefits effective July 1, 1989, for the System is 2.14% of the employee's average
final salary multiplied by the number of years of credited service. Disability annuity
benefits and the group-life insurance benefit for PORS members are similar to those for SCRS
participants.
The Citadel's total covered payroll for the PORS for the fiscal year was $248,550. Effective
July 1, 1988, employees are required to contribute 6.5% of all compensation. Under Title 9
of the Code, The Citadel's liability under the plan is limited to the amount of contributions
established by the State Budget and Control Board. Effective July 1, 1991, the employer
contribution rate became 11.941%. The contribution requirements for the year ended June 30,
1992, were $38,228 from the employer and $21,076 from employees. The Citadel's 1991
contributions represented less than 1% of total contributions required of all participating
employers. Also, The Citadel paid employer group-life insurance contributions of $648 in the
current fiscal year participants.
The amounts paid by The Citadel for pension, group-life insurance, and accidental death
benefits are reported as employer contributions expenditures within the applicable functional
expenditure categories of The Citadel.

NOTE 8 - RETIREMENT PLANS (CONTINUED)
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 Citadel 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. Under Title 9 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, The
Citadel's liability under the plans is limited to the amount of contributions (stated as a
percentage of covered payroll) established by the State Budget and Control Board. Therefore,
The Citadel's liability under the retirement plans is limited to the amounts appropriated
therefor in the South Carolina Appropriation Act for the applicable year and amounts from
other applicable revenue sources. Accordingly, The Citadel recognizes no contingent liability
for unfunded costs associated with participation in the plans. All actuarially required
contributions due to the plans were met.
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' June 30, 1992, separately issued report.
Certain of The Citadel's employees have elected to be covered under optional retirement
plans. Total covered compensation for the various optional plans was $930,836 for the year
ended June 30, 1992. For the fiscal year, total contribution requirements were $86,686 from
the employer and $55,439 from employees. In addition, The Citadel paid $949 for group-life
insurance coverage for these employees. All amounts were remitted to the South Carolina
Retirement Division for distribution to the respective annuity policy providers.
NOTE 9 - POSTEMPLOYMENT AND OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
The State of South Carolina provides certain health care, dental, and life insurance benefits
to active and certain retired State employees. All permanent full-time and certain permanent
part-time employees of The Citadel are eligible to receive these benefits. These benefits are
provided through annual appropriations by the General Assembly to The Citadel for its active
employees and to the State Budget and Control Board for all participating State retirees and
from other applicable sources of The Citadel for its active employees who are not funded by
State General Fund appropriations.
The Citadel recorded employer contributions expenditures within the applicable functional
expenditure categories for these benefits in the amount of $733,555 for the year ended June
30, 1991.
Information regarding the cost of insurance benefits applicable to The Citadel's
retirees is not available. By State law, The Citadel has no liability for retirement
benefits. Accordingly, the cost of providing these benefits for retirees is not included in
the accompanying financial statements.
In addition, the State General Assembly periodically directs the Retirement Systems to pay
supplemental (cost- of-living) increases to retirees. Such increases are primarily funded
from Systems' earnings; however, a portion of the required amount is appropriated from the
State General Fund annually for the SCRS and PORS benefits.

NOTE 10 - DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLANS
Several optional deferred compensation plans are available to State employees and employers
of its political subdivisions. Certain employees of The Citadel 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 ennual financial report.

NOTE 12 - INTERFUND LIABILITIES AND BORROWINGS
For the most part, The Citadel operates out of one cash account which is recorded in
unrestricted current funds. At fiscal year-end, entries are made to properly reflect cash
balances by fund group. In addition, during the year, certain interfund borrowings occurred.
All of the amounts are payable within one year without interest. Individual interfund
balances outstanding at June 30, 1992, were as follows:
A.

$587,655 advanced during fiscal year ended June 30, 1985, by the
retirement of indebtedness fund to the unexpended plant fund
represents a loan used for the stadium lights project. The
College has requested State approval to use excess debt service
funds to repay this debt.

B.

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.

NOTE 13 - STUDENT LOANS RECEIVABLE AND OTHER ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
With minor exception, loan losses for student loans receivable and various accounts
receivable are established based upon losses experienced in prior years and evaluations of
the current loan and account portfolios. At June 30, 1992, the allowances for student loans
receivable in loan funds and accounts receivable in unrestricted current funds are valued at
$180,316 and $105,026, respectively.

NOTE 14 - CONSTRUCTION COSTS AND COMMITMENTS
The Citadel has obtained the necessary funding for the acquisition, construction, renovation,
and equipping of certain facilities. As of June 30, 1992, The Citadel had remaining
commitment balances of $2,799,457 of these funds with certain engineering firms, construction
contractors, and vendors. Management estimates that The Citadel will have sufficient
resources available to satisfactorily complete the construction of such projects which are
expected to be completed in varying phases over the next five years at an estimated total
cost of $12,368,131. Of the total cost, approximately $11,910,578 is unexpended at June 30,
1992.
.
NOTE 15 - CASH AND INVESTMENTS

CASH:
The State keeps certain monies in a pooled general deposit account and records each fund's
equity interest in the pool. The accounts classified as "Cash" in the financial statements
include deposits with the State Treasurer on which earned interest is credited to the General
Fund of the State. Cash on deposit with the State Treasurer totalled$ 14,150,517 for the
year ended June 30, 1992.
A portion of this amount $ 2,140,135 is held by the State
Treasurer for debt service requirements or for bond proceeds. These funds are normally held
by the State Treasurer in investments pools. Investment information is not available at the
date of this report, accordingly this amount is classified as cash on The Citadel's balance
sheet.
State Law requires full collateralization of all State Treasurer bank balances. The State
Treasurer must correct any deficiencies in collateral within seven days. At June 30, 1992,
all State Treasurer bank balances were fully insured or collateralized with securities held
by the State or by its agents in the State's name.

INVESTMENTS:
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 the United States.
Other investments are stated at cost except those received as gifts which are carried at
market value at the date of gift.
The carrying and market values of investments of the
various funds at each year-end are as follows:

NOTE 19 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Citadel has significant transactions with the State of South Carolina and various State
agencies.
Services received at no cost from State agencies include maintenance of certain accounting
records by the Comptroller General, banking and investment functions from the State
Treasurer, legal services from the Attorney General, grants services from the Governor's
Office, and records storage from the Department of Archives and History.
Other services received at no cost from the various divisions of the State Budget and Control
Board include retirement plan administration, insurance plans administration, audit services,
personnel management, assistance in the preparation of the State Budget, review and approval
of certain budget amendments, procurement services, and other centralized functions.
The Citadel had financial transactions with various State agencies during the fiscal year.
Significant payments were made to divisions of the State Budget and Control Board for
retirement and insurance plans contributions, surplus property disposal fees, insurance
coverage, office supplies, printing, and telephone, and interagency mail. Significant
payments were also made for unemployment and workers' compensation coverage for employees.
The amounts of 1992 expenditures applicable to related party transactions are not readily
available.
The Citadel provided no services free of charge to other State agencies during the fiscal
year; however, The Citadel provided printing and facilities rental services to various State
agencies for a fee.
NOTE 20 - CONTINGENCIES AND LITIGATION
The various federal programs administered by The Citadel for fiscal year 1992 and prior years
are subject to examination by the federal grantor agencies. At the present time, amounts
which may be due federal grantors, if any, have not been determined, but The Citadel believes
that any such amounts in the aggregate would not have a material adverse effect on the
financial statements.
The Citadel is involved in various suits ar~s~ng from conducting the normal business of the
institution. The only current suit involving a claim for monetary damages involves a suit
by a former employee who is suing over his termination.
An unfavorable outcome in this
matter would not be expected to a have a material, adverse impact on the financial position
of the College.

throughout the year by their enthusiastic support of the varsity
athletic teams.
The Commandant continued to meet twice each month with

the

Cadet Regulations

The Blue Book continues to serve as a basic guide for
standards of conduct for the Corps of Cadets, and continued to
be favorably accepted by the Corps.
It proved its merit
throughout the School Year. Due to a lack of overall knowledge
of The Blue Book by cadets, a 50 question Blue Book test was
administered to 17 freshmen and 20 upperclassmen on 3 March to
determine time required and validity of the open book test.
A
Committee consisting of the Commandant, PMS, PNS, PAS, Assistant
Commandant, and two Tactical Officers are currently studying The
Blue Book.
Proposed changes or refinements are being sent to
the President for his approval. The objective is to have a reprint of The Blue Book by the beginning of School Year 1992-93.
For School Year 1992-93, cadets will certify by testing in
Physical Fitness, Blue Book, and the Honor Manual . Testing will
be administered the first day cadets arrive back from summer
leave.
3.

Barracks

The general status of the barracks is improving.
Some
sinks, vanities and floors in Barracks No. 2 were painted and
repaired this summer.
Colonel Mayer and a group of cadets
rearranged furniture in rooms during the summer, and cadets were
instructed furniture will remain in the current arrangement
throughout the School Year. The issue of cleaning materials to
·all companies continued to show improvement in the appearance
and cleanliness of furniture in all barracks.
4.

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 1995. The Cadre's approach
of being "firm but fair", of setting the example, and treating
freshmen with dignity, continued.
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.
Leadership classes continued this year for all members of the
Corps, by class, and were held primadly on Tuesday during drill
periods.
Classes were conducted jointly by Tactical Officers
122

�and Cadet Company Commanders, on the company level.
Training Model was used as a training guide.

The Citadel

Drill and Ceremonies

The Corps' performance
during parades and
reviews
continued to be outstanding.
The first 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.
The Commandant
continued "Commanders' Time" the first Tuesday drill period of
each month as a result of conununications, in his mind, being one
of the biggest problems in the Corps. Cadets were given topics
and also used their own to get information/policies to the
Corps. As a result, all levels of unit leadership were learning
and improving skills during these drill periods.
Honor Guard Ceremonies were continued during the School
Year. Special ceremonies were conducted by Company C, the Band,
and Color Guard. Highlights of parades and ceremonies conducted
this School Year follow: 13 September, Parade in honor of the

Alcohol and major violations of the Fourth Class System
continued to be the more serious disciplinary actions during
School Year 1991-92.
Of the 21 cadets who were referred to
Commandant Boards during the School Year, 3 were referred to the
Board for infractions where alcohol was a contributing factor.
The number of alcohol related cases increased from 34 in 1990-91
to 44 in 1991-92.
No cadets were referred to Commandant's
Boards due to drug related offenses.
7.

Substance Abuse Programs:

The zero tolerance policy regarding drugs continues to
be enforced. The Alcohol Abuse Program initiated in School Year

�1983-84 continued. This program requires all cadets involved in
disciplinary actions that were alcohol related, to report to The
Citadel's
Counseling
Center for
screening,
testing, and
counseling.
In addition to the 44 cadets who were alcohol
referrals in School Year 1991-92, the Student Counseling Center
enrolled 3 cadets in the program, who were self referrals. Self
referrals bring the overall total number of cadets involved in
the program for School Year 1991-92 to 47. Two cadets were self
referrals during School Year 1990-91. The following Substance
Abuse Programs were presented this School Year:
The first presentation on 5 September was mandatory for
First, Second and Third Classmen.
The speaker was Mr. Jim
Harrison, Citadel graduate and attorney on the ABC Commission in
Columbia, SC; a mandatory program for 3rd Classmen was held in
Mark Clark Hall on 17 October; on 6 December, Cadet Steele, a
member of "Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD)" lectured to
James Island High School Students on the dangers of drinking and
driving; a mandatory program for Second and Third Classmen was
held on 13 February in Mark Clark Hall; and a mandatory program
for Second and Third Classmen was held in Mark Clark Hall on 9
April.
Random drug tests were performed on 34 Fourth Classmen
on 7 April, with negative results in all cases; and tests were
performed on cadet athletes three times this School Year (once
in the Fall and twice this Spring) which included the NCAA
testing.
The Citadel received a Drug Free School Grant from the
State of South Carolina, and as a result of the Grant, a special
counselor was hired to establish a peer education program for
cadets and a faculty and staff education program.
8.

Fourth Class Withdrawals

The Fourth Class withdrawal rate, for all causes during
School Year 1991-92 was 16.9% (105 of 622), compared with 17.7%
(114 of 645) for School Year 1990-91, and 15.9% (85 of 535) for
School Year 1989-90. 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
un-professionalism on the part of the Cadre.
Significant gains
continued to be noted in the overall quality of the Fourth Class
System.
9. Cadet Commanders' Retreat

125

�Due to the success of the Cadet Commanders' Retreat at
the St. Christopher Conference Center on Seabrook Island for two
days the weekend of 17-18 August 1991, the Commandant is
cutTently planning a similar retreat for the coming School Ye&lt;n.
The purpose of the retreat is for the top ranking cadets to get
to know one another better, receive some training, and put
together their program for the 1992-93 School Year.
Cadet
Company, Battalion, and Regimental Commanders and the Regimental
Sergeant Major
participated.
All support, facilities and
instructors were excellent. Cost of the retreat was borne by
The Citadel Development Foundation. The site of the conference
fot· SY 1992-93 will be the Santee Cooper Wampee Conference
Center, Pinopolis, SC.
The six elements which are critical to
mission accomplishment are those that make up the "\v1lole Man"
(Honor; Academic; Military; Spiritual; Patriotism; Physical).
Objectives established during the conference for each goal or
element of the Whole Man follow:
Honor
Standard Honor briefings developed for each
company, presented and discussed quarterly during scheduled
sessions with the companies; Academics - The School Year GPA,
not Cumulative GPA for each class:
Freshmen 2.2, Sophomores
2.4, Juniors 2.8, Seniors 3.0; foster positive team between
Tacs, Faculty Advisor and Cadets, enforce Evening Study Periods,
foster a climate of caring for all cadets toward academic
success and provide assistance where necessary; Military
Success oriented for all classes,
positive leadership, no
hazing, communications and standards are the focuses, no mot·e
than 9% loss for freshmen, review Fourth Class System to ensure
i t meets the purpose; TEACH - MOTIVATE - DEVELOP, NOT ELININATE;
Spiritual - Work toward a goal of 35% of all cadets involved in
religious activities, and work toward a goal of 20% of each
company attending chapel; Patriotism - Continue to foster pride
in country through parades and other events on campus, honor our
country's dead and continue to remind cadets of our successes,
and hold one patriotic oriented parade per semester; Physical
Individual fitness should continue to be a cadet responsibility.
At the PT Test, the goal will be 85% of all cadets pass.
Intramurals should be voluntary but 100% of the cadets should
participate at the company level in either Intramurals, Club or
Varsity Sports, and no Intramural forfeits. Company PT Programs
are success oriented, whose purpose is team building, and
standards are:
Runs, no further than 2 miles, at 16 minutes, 50
Push-ups, 2 minutes, and 50 sit-ups, 2 minutes.
All cadets
should present a trim, neat appearance.
Actions were success and positive oriented.
Priority
for the Fourth Class System was toward the mess hall with all
cadets eating.
Leadership development through teaching and
responsibility was
always paramount.
Communications
and
enforcement of standards were given special focus and work.
Close enough was not good enough; cadets were taught and
corrected with positive, professional reinforcement. Following
is a swnmary of actions taken as a result of the Conference this

�past August.

Colonel Mayer met
with Tactical Officers and Cadet
Commanders concerning peer evaluations, and emphasized that
evaluations and counseling are key ingredients to leadership
development.

rank order, the same as was done last year, using the following
criteria: Demonstrated Leadership, Military Bearing, Acceptance
of
Responsibility,
Communications
Skills,
Decisiveness,
Judgment, Physical Conditioning, Initiative, and Team Player.
Academics (GPA of 2.00 for NCO rank and 2.25 for Captain and
above), and discipline were not used, but were applied during
the final selection process.
These evaluations were used by the
cadet commander to make a peer Order of Merit List (OML). The
cotMtander and executive officer then evaluated the three classes
(freshmen, sophomores and juniors), using the same procedures
outlined above.
The commander combined the peer evaluations,
company commander and execut.ive officer evaluations, into one
OML.
Each final class OML was co-signed by the Tac and
Commander and these OMLs were given to the Commandant on 3 and 4

Operations

1991-92 was our sixth year as the Palmetto Battalion.
This organization, made up entit·ely of Army
contract and
scholarship cadets, plans and coordinates all the training
activities for the Army cadets under the
supet·vtston and
guidance of our Active Duty cadre. The battalion conducted four
field training exercises for cadets bound for the Advanced
Summer Camp.
The culmination of this year's training was the
week long "Mini-Camp"'held 11-19 May '92 at Fort Jackson, SC.
The Mini-Camp reinforces all of the 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 in the Brigade competition.
Several distinguished guest speakers addressed Army
cadets
during the year to include: United States Army Chaplain (Major
General) Stephen Y. Gantt, Command Staff Chaplain of the U. S.
Army
Training Center and Ft.
Jackson, SC, Major General
Siegfried, Commanding General, U. S. Army Training Center and
Ft. Jackson, S. C. We saw a sharp increase in our workload this
year.
Closing enrollment in the Army program last year was 749
cadets.
This year's opening enrollment was 809 cadets with a
closing enrollment, second semester, of 854.
Besides the 72
cadets who will ultimately be commissioned in FY '92, 56 junior
cadets are under contract or scholarship.
Currently, 20
sophomores and 7 freshmen are on Army scholarships.
4.

Extracurricular Activities

The Battalion had an active chapter in the Association of
the United States Army, and sent six cadets and a Citadel
display to the ammal AUSA Convention in Washington, D. C. in
October.
The Citadel Chapter of the Army Aviation Association of
America (AAAA) remains the only chapter which is solely run by
cadets. AAAA sponsored an Air Show Trip to Charleston Air Force
Base.
In April, members of AAAA attended the annual convention
in Atlanta, Georgia.
Our cadets were specifically invited to
all executive-level functions as guests of the National AAAA
President, and were ushers for all major events. Cadet Burgess
was placed on the National Executive Board as the student
representative.
The Cordell Airborne Ranger Company is another active
organization.
Consisting of 120 cadets, they participated in
four field training exercises.
These exercises culminated in a
three day off campus deployment to Ft. Bragg.
While at Ft.
Bragg, the cadets participated in Airborne training conducted by
140

�the 82nd Airborne Division Advanced Airborne School. rappelling,
and they ran the Pre-Ranger confidence course.
Additionally,
the company ran a realistic tactical exercise in the urban
training area, using the latest Army equipment. The exercise
included
a 7 km movement
at night and a force-on-force
engagement using laser training devices. The year concluded for
the Cordell Company with a "best squad" competition.
The
competition included skill level, one common task tests, as well
as a road march and an APFT.
Last summer, Army cadets did extremely well in Advanced
Camp and at special training schools. 50% of our cadets finished
in the top 1/3 of all cadets at Advanced Camp. Four of the 72
cadets to attend Advanced Camp received the Platoon Leadership
Award. The 100% completion rate at specialty schools included
fifty-four cadets who received their Airborne wings and sixteen
cadets who received their Air Assault Badge.
Twelve cadets
attended Cadet Troop Leadership Training (CTLT) with Active Duty
units. Army cadets will be attending these schools again this
stoomer and a higher success rate is anticipated.
5.

Future Developments

The Battalion will continue to strive to recruit top
quality cadets into the Army program to train, retain and to
commission them as lieutenants upon graduation. We strive for
excellence in
leadership,
and want
the whole
man
who
demonstrates the military, academic, spiritual and physical
requirements necessary to become a quality officer.
Currently
over 100 r:tstng juniors are completing the paperwork to be
contracted in August '92.
This is twice the number that
contracted in August '91.
We have made numerous improvements to
our facilities and program.
The detachment has developed
student work books for each MS level,
a state-of-the-art
briefing and an aggressive counselling program .
During the
December '91 con~and of The Citadel's Army Detachment, the
inspection team chief stated "The Citadel is the best ROTC
Battalion in Cadet Command."
The Detachment received numerous
commendable ratings. We are proud of what we have accomplished,
and we will continue to work hard providing the training,
equipment and material necessary to train and educate the cadets
on the opportunities of the Total Army Force: the Active Army,
the Army Reset·ves, and the Army National Guard.
To attract Army scholarship winners to The Citadel, this
year The Citadel will offer a $2,500 supplement to all four year
Army Scholarship winners and free room for three year advanced
Designee scholarship winners.
These financial incentives are
required to stay competitive with other institutions which offer
similar incentives.
We anticipate 40 scholarship winners this
year.

Operations

During the Academic Year 1991-1992, the Department of
Aerospace Studies made a number of changes to bolster recruiting
of qualified officer candidates.
The greatest improvement has
been better tracking of officer candidate application packages
with an emphasis on persuading higher headquarters to favor our
nominees.
As a
result, we obtained
37 FY 94
officer
allocations--one of our best recruiting years.
We have also
expanded our efforts to contact four- and three-year College
Scholarship Program recipients, resulting in an increase from 2
to 11 the number of recipients choosing to attend The Citadel.
An aggressive letter mailout ~~ampaign has been implemented to
contact every rising
senior to advise them of Air Force
opportunities. Despite the increased competition for dwindling
Air Force scholarship monies, we have also contacted every
eligible Citadel Cadet to convince them to apply for an Air
Force ROTC t1~o or three year scholarship; we succeeded in
getting four additional cadets on scholarship.
As of May 1992,
we had 532 cadets enrolled in Ail" Force ROTC classes.
We
conunissioned 16 officers in FY 92 and expect to commission
roughly the same number in FY 93.
Beginning with FY 94, we
expect the number of commissionees to rise above 30.
We
continue to fine-tune the academic curriculum by incorporating
guest speakers and officer career panels in our lectures.
We

142

�are currently in the process of revising several courses to
incorporate the latest Air Force restructuring changes, Air
Force doctrine, and Total Quality Management concepts.
3.

Extracurricular Activities

The Department of Aerospace Studies continued to engage in
many activities to enhance the cadets' knowledge of the Air
Force mission.
During our monthly Commander's
Calls, we
featured numerous guest speakers to include the following:
a
Citadel graduate who shot down two MIGs, an A-10 pilot who was
held as a POW during Dese1·t Storm, C-141 pilots who airlifted
critical supplies to the Commonwealth of Independent States and
the
Arctic, and the Charleston
AFB Combat Support Group
Commander.
To supplement classroom lectures and give cadets
nhands-on exposure to the Air Force, we revitalized incentive
programs that were dormant due to Desert Shield/Storm.
\~e
arranged for 20 aircraft orientation flights, 39 cadets to
accompany officers one-on-one for a day, and 321 cadets to visit
seven military bases, enhancing their USAF knowledge. \~e also
implemented marksmanship, land navigation, chemical warfare, F16 simulator rides, and confidence course training for 452
cadets gene1·ating more interest in commissions.
Cadets also
organized a field day in which the cadre played sports with the
students, followed by lunch.
To honor the Air Force birthday ,
for the fifth year in a row, cadets planned a highly successful
diimer and invited several high ranking military and community
members.
A flyover by four F-15 aircraft from Eglin AFB,
Florida. highlighted the week-long celebration of the Air Force
Bit·thday as well as POW/MIA Day.
The Citadel Roland F. Wooten
Arnold Air Society Squadron has 27 active members.
Squadron
events included washing the F-4 aircraft static display on
campus, an aluminum can recycling project, AAS T-shirt sale,
POW/MIA bracelet sale, stadiwn cleanup. and visits to the local
Veterans Administration Hospital. A highly successful Dining-in
was held in April 1992, and our guest speaker was Vietnam Ace
Colonel Steve Richie.

Future Plans

Our biggest challenge for FY 93 is to increase the nwnber
of commissionees.
We have already strengthened our program for
counseling cadets
about the
advantages of an
Air Force
commission and will focus on streamlining our procedures fo1·
even
quicker
processing of
officer
candidate nomination
packages.
We will continue to schedule activities that are
"fun" for cadets to do.
\ve will focus on commissioning high
quality officers while doing everything within our power to
ensure cadets have the best chance of pursuing a commission. We
will focus on ensuring our contract cadets take advantage of all
available leadership training at The Citadel.
We expect our
rising contract sophomores, juniors, and seniors to hold rank
and to set the example for the other cadets in the Corps of
Cadets.
After FY 93, we expect a bright future for AFROTC when

143

�we start commissioning more than 30 officers a year.

Extracurricular Activities

The Department's Guest Lecture Program is designed to
enhance NROTC midshipmen knowledge of the Navy and Marine Corps
missions. and also to broaden their outlook and increase their
exposure to a variety of views, opinions, and insights regarding
the topical issues facing the Naval Services.
Topic items
addressed included the leadership challenges facing
junior
officers in the Marine Corps;
organization, structure and
mission of NATO's military arm; combat leadership; life as a
career Naval officer; Command Master Chief orientation for
junior off icet·s; military law, submarine operations; nuclear

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, a MiniSurface Warfare Officer Course for newly commissioned Ensigns as
preparation for their fit·st training assignment; and a Marineoption field training exercise at Parris Island, SC, for 51

personnel, which
focused
on the
practical
application of classroom
instruction.
In addition,
unit
persom1el managed the embarkation of over 100 midshipmen, via
Charleston, from other NROTC units across the country and from
the US Naval Academy; participated in 6 college weekend visitor
programs and 4 football recruiting weekends; escorted 80 Fourth
Classmen on a tour of the USS Yorkto~1; 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 a MECEP student to
the MECEP prep school to bolster MECEP enrollment; and 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 well above the college average.
During the spring CNET Scholarship Selection Board, 8 Citadel
NROTC cadets were selected out of 12 applicants for a 66 per
cent selection rate. MECEP students continue to set a sterling
example for our midshipmen with an aggregate grade point average
of 3.2, while our Navy Enlisted Commissioning Program students
finished the year with a 3.6 aggregate grade point average.
To further emphasize academic excellence our department
has continued a NROTC supervised study hall 1900-2200 on Monday
through Thursday evenings.
The program began in Fall semester
1990.
This coupled with weekly counselling by NROTC class
advisors should provide a sense of concern fo1· our students.

ADMINISTRATION

Personnel Services:

During FY 1991-92, the Department of Personnel and
Administrative Services continued to report directly to the Chief
of Staff. Personnel services continue to be a key function of the
department as the Personnel Department continued to provide full
service to Citadel faculty and staff in all aspects of personnel
administration and management.
Following are
significant
accomplishments during FY 1991-92:
1. Central Comotiter Services: The Personnel Office was
successful in enhancing the human resource series (HRS) of the
college computer, with the assistance of assigned Information
Resources Management (IRM) program analyst, making it more
functional.
Personnel changes are still reported directly to the
Division of Human Resource Management (DHRM) through on-line data
entry.

The
Appropriation Act did not fund nor make provisions for a classified
employee cost of living increases.
2)
Promotional, Reclassification, and Grade
Reallocation Increases:
Although no funds were appropriated for
promotion, reclassification or grade reallocation pay increases,
current pay policies for such increases were continued for FY 199192, provided no increase is awarded until the budget freeze imposed
by the State Budget and Control Board is rescinded. The President
had to certify to the State Budget Division and the Division of
Human Resource Management that internal funds were available to pay
the annualized cost of increases awarded. Current pay policies for
promotion, reclassification and grade reallocation increases were
continued for FY 1991-92 as follows:

For salaries of $14,999 or less
For salaries between $15,000 and $19,999
For salaries over $20,000

Benefit Programs:

a.
Health Program:
There was no increase in
employee health insurance premiums in 1992.
The 1991 rates
remained in effect despite year-to-year Plan expenditure growth of
18.7%, and an increase in the State share of the premium of only
1.75%, meaning that The Citadel now pays $132.83 -up from $130.55
for health insurance coverage for each member of the faculty and
staff. The 1991 employee rates remained in effect for two reasons:
1) reserves were determined to be sufficient to absorb losses that
were expected to occur in 1992, and 2) the Plan adopted fixed-price
reimbursement for inpatient hospital services effected 1 January
1992.
1)
state Health Plan Hospital Network:
Effective 1 January 1992, participants in the State Health Plan
were given a provider network of hospitals in South Carolina from
which to choose for their inpatient care.
The State Health Plan
now allows participating hospitals a pre-determined amount per
diagnosis.
The key to the State Health Plan Hospital Network is
that participating hospitals cannot bill participants for any
charges for covered services above the pre-determined amount aside
from applicable deductibles and coinsurance.
By receiving
inpatient care at these hospitals, State Health Plan participants
are able to save money because inpatient charges for most diagnoses
are limited to a pre-determined maximum. Participants who choose
to receive inpatient care at non-participating hospitals will be
responsible for any charges over the allowable charges. These noncovered charges cannot be applied to the deductible and are not
subject to the copayment and out-of-pocket limit. By establishing
the State Health Plan Hospital Network, the State can ensure
participants the same sound, comprehensive coverage while not
raising premiums--even in this age of rising health care cost.
2)
Maternity Management Program: This program
is now offered to all pregnant women covered by the State Health
Plan at no extra cost.
The program is designed to identify high
risk factors early in a pregnancy in an effort to reduce the risk
of complications of pregnancy.
The program begins with the precertification and screening process and continues throughout the
course of the pregnancy whereby an experienced maternity nurse
contracts the pregnant member at pre-arranged dates and times to
counsel, advise, and answer questions. Crawford &amp; Company (MediCall) is the administrator.
3)
Medi-Call, a case management program, is
still mandatory. The Crawford Company is the administrator of the
program. Medi-Call is designed to assist members with their health
care.

eligible dependents if in the 35 to 75 age range.
Any charges
above $50 will be charged to participants, applied to their
deductible (if applicable) and subject to their copayment up to
out-of-pocket maximum. The participating facilities list is updated
periodically and available to employees.
5)
The Pap smear Program is still in effect.
Under the terms of this program, covered employees, retirees and
dependents of employees and retirees between the ages of 18 and 65
may receive a $15 benefit each year before the deductible.

supplemental plans help pay the high cost of a catastrophic illness
such as cancer, heart attacks, strokes, etc.

so one can enroll anytime. Coverage could cover hospital, doctor,
transportation, therapy, special clothing,
food, medication,
supplies, and care-related equipment bills.

insurance premiums, dependent day-care, and medical spending. Each
feature of Money-Plus has its own fee schedule.
f.
Life Insurance Programs:
Premiums for the
Optional Life Insurance (OLI) Program and the Optional Supplemental
Life Insurance (OSLI) Program (Carrier for both programs is The

1992. OLI premiums increased by 15.5% and OLSI premiums increased
between 22 to 65%.
Participants must be enrolled in the Standard
Optional Life or show medical evidence of good health in order to
participate in the Optional Supplemental Life program. Under the
Optional Supplemental Life Insurance Plan, one may select either
$15,000 or $25,000, regardless of salary level.
Members may
participate in both programs at any time by completing a medical
evidence of good health form for approval/disapproval of Hartford

Purchase of Retirement Service Credit Program.
In addition
participating SCRS members may now name a different beneficiary for

3.

OFF-CAMPUS ACTIVITIES

a. Fifty-two statewide and local retreats, socials and religious
observances were attended/held off campus by the different campus religious

168

�that The Citadel has participated, and our cadets have always left a very good
impression on fellow students and sponsors of this event.
d.
Colonel Brown, Director of Chaplaincy Activities, conducted
field services for Army cadets participating in weekend training at various
training sites in South Carolina. These services were designed to fill cadets'
religious needs as well as acquaint cadets with how chapel services are conducted
under combat or field conditions.

H.

Development

The 1991-92 fiscal year was marked by continuing efforts to solicit private
funds to support all areas of The Citadel.
The year saw the successful completion of the Inaugural Campaign. Over $1
million was received in gifts and pledges and those funds in conjunction with
funds from other sources, enabled the college to retire its debt. Debts retired
or bonded include a note due to The Citadel Development Foundation for Seignious
Hall, varying amounts for the Lockwood Field purchase and athletic field
improvements, and an obligation for the Faculty Quarters Project.
Several new programs were implemented in the second half of the year,
including an Annual Fund appeal to graduate and evening college alumni, a
Parents' Fund, and an increased emphasis on corporate and foundation fundraising.
Although it is too early to judge the success of these initiatives, they promise
to have significant impact on the college's development efforts in the years to
come.
In addition, fundraising efforts to support the Sesquicentennial were
begun, and the college already has received over $20,000 in gifts and pledges
designated for the celebration.
The following represent total cash contributions and gifts-in-kind to the
college (excluding gifts to The Citadel Development Foundation and the Brigadier
Club) for the past year:

Several gifts deserve special note. The Citadel renewed a relationship with
the Robert R. McCormick Charitable Trust, which made a generous gift of $38,000
to provide furnishings for the Robert R. McCormick Beach House once renovations
of the house are completed. The college also received six figure bequests from
the estates of Frank W. Munnerlyn '35 and Jonas S. Heiss '26.
During 1991-92, the Development Office experienced an 80 percent turnover
in staff, Staffing changes included the departure of James A. Adams, Director
of Development, Samuel B. Jones, Assistant Director for Development Operations
and Linda R. Laird, Office Manager; and the addition of Melissa Gill, Assistant
Director of Development/Foundation and Corporate Relations, replacing Jac Powell,
who had left The Citadel in 1990. Although the Development Office operated under
a 60 percent staff reduction for most of the year, private support to the college
for fiscal 1991-92 remained strong.

Alumni Affairs/Publications/Placement

The school year 1991-92 was very successful in terms of the number of alumni
and cadets that the services and programs offered by the alumni office reached.
This office continues to provide a focal point, especially for Citadel alumni,
for maintaining support of the mission of The Citadel.
The services and programs that the Alumni Affairs/Placement office conducts
are enumerated in the following report.
During the school year 1991-92, this office continued to develop a strong
relationship with the alumni through efforts such as Homecoming, alumni records
and dues, travel, area clubs, CAPP, alumni career network, coordinated support
of development groups (i.e., The Brigadier Club, CDF, and the the Athletic
Department), legislative matters; and updating our alumni on important campus and
alumni news items through the Alumni News and Through the Sally Port
publications. A description of the more important aspects of these services and
programs are provided.
1.

Alumni Records

The dynamics of alumni records required approximately 4500 plus address
and biographical changes and/or updating.
This area is an important concern
because of the need of accurate up-to-date lists. Any advancement or development
actions by The Citadel is affected by this effort.
2.

Alumni Dues Program

The membership dues program consisted of over 30,200 contacts. These
contacts generated over 8,800 life and annual memberships.
Some 52% of our
alumni are active dues paying members. Again, The Citadel remains in an elite
group of colleges and universities that maintain a high degree of functionally
active alumni.
3.

Alumni Travel and Marketing

The marketing and travel programs remain a vital part of the opportunity
for the alumni office and Association to meet its mission. Some 17,600 contacts
with alumni and friends of The Citadel were made. These contacts provided an
opportunity to participate in our alumni travel program. Trips to the Amazon,
Antarctica, the Caribbean and the New England coast and Canada were offered.
Six major new or on-going marketing programs were presented.
These
efforts provided another avenue of contact generating over 30,000 individual
points of interest.
A new and joint effort with the Gift Shop offered The
Citadel merchandise line of clothes and souvenirs. On-going programs included
the credit card, Dialing for the Dogs, barracks miniature and a Waterman pen set.
The license plate program has been a surprising hit with our constituents.
Besides individual contacts, the majority of these programs were also marketed
through the Alumni News.

171

�4.

CAPP

The effort to revitalize the CAPP program was energized through the
combined energy of a strong volunteer alumni group, the Admissions office and the
alumni office.
The logistical support from the alumni office and the alumni
association helped produce the first published CAPP Handbook. In addition, a 1800 telephone number was installed in the Alumni House to expedite the recruiting
efforts of the CAPP volunteers at the grass roots level. This line provides for
instant access to answers and to material requests. Several workshops were also
held to enlighten volunteers. The critical work of this effort will benefit the
enrollment process and the resulting student body size as well as empower our
alumni to be more active in marketing their alma mater. The Association and some
individual volunteers have contributed countless hours and significant dollars
to ensure CAPP's participation . in the admissions process.
5.

Alumni Clubs

The area alumni clubs have again provided an arena for the dissemination
of information, alumni networking, development and social opportunities for many,
many alumni. Coordinated efforts have given the President's office, staff, and
alumni office a forum for presenting key items of interest to our alumni.
The alumni area clubs have also continued their efforts to support
campus and alumni programs through volunteer efforts. Over 65 clubs maintain an
active schedule of meetings and events. These clubs have provided a means for
support of CAPP, the Brigadier Club, Governmental Affairs, scholarship funds,
athletic game socials, alumni career networking, Homecoming and alumni elections.
A variety of resources are used by these clubs to show their support.
From
fundraising to volunteer time to providing an opportunity for fellow alumni to
meet and trade stories, these clubs make the alumni bonds grow stronger. The
Alumni Career Network is proving to be one of the most vital services ever
offered to our students and alumni.
6.

Scholarships and Endowments

Monies from the Alumni Association Scholarship and Endowment Funds were
used to support cadet scholarships.
More than $151,000 from 11 separate
endowments provided over 30 full and partial scholarships.
7.

Homecoming, Reunions and Related Activities

Last year's Homecoming information Center has now become a central part
of Homecoming registration.
Hundreds of alumni updated their biographical
information on the spot at the center. The annual reception and banquet, reunion
class support, jamboree, pre-and-post game receptions and reunion gatherings were
well attended.
An estimated 7,000 alumni and friends returned to campus to
celebrate Homecoming.
8.

Governmental Affairs

Volunteer efforts of members of the alumni association are always
critical to successful alumni programs. In particular, the Governmental Affairs
Committee was the force behind the success of the Legislative Barbecue. Over
2,000 alumni, friends, supporters and members of state government attended the
172

�barbecue. This body has played a vital role in complementing the college's ongoing governmental relations effort.
9.

Alumni Game Socials

Every football game in 1991 had an athletic game social sponsored by
this office.
Highlights were alumni gatherings at and trips to West Point,
William and Mary and the Oyster Bowl. Home football games were scenes for openhouse receptions at the Alumni House and the National Guard Armory. During the
winter, the Southern Conference Basketball Tournament in Asheville provided the
setting for another athletic game social.
10.

Publications

The Alumni News and Through the Sally Port continue to provide the everimportant communications link between alumni and their school.
These
publications resulted in over 100,000 individual pieces of information and not
solicitation mailings.
The standard four issues of each publication were
produced. The Alumni News continues to provide a high quality magazine with
substantial content. Positive comments about this publication are indicative of
its quality and effort being put forth by the publications staff.
Also, the Alumni News, with its centerfold outline of clubs and club
contacts, continues to be recognized as a major factor in the formation of new
clubs as well as the rebirth of older clubs that have been inactive.
11.

Various Other Services

The support by this office for the President-Emeritus remains at a very
high, efficient level. Likewise, the alumni office supports additional services
such as class ring administration, alumni house rental, alumni association board
and committee meetings (approximately 12 different types during the last year),
community and business functions, support of other campus and alumni concerns,
and an annual senior class dinner.
12.

Sesquicentennial

The alumni office is providing support and leadership for planning and
executing the celebration of the school's 150th birthday.
13.

Placement

The Placement office continues to provide resources to cadets, graduate
students, alumni, and the community.
An appreciable increase in activities
related to alumni was evident. As the Gulf War ended and the military services
started to conduct reduction in forces, this office provided resources for those
alumni separating from the service. Therefore, Alumni Career Network requests
increased. Another factor in this increase was due to career changes by alumni
affected by the recessive economy. And with less than 30% of graduating seniors
going on active duty, there are more and more demands for services by graduating
seniors. The national trend is for companies to do less on-campus recruiting.
This trend is caused by several reasons: economics; companies are changing their
recruiting philosophies to use other methods to recruit, for example, third party

173

�recruiting by "head hunters"; larger companies are decentralizing their human
resources/recruiting divisions. Herein lies the reason we saw fewer companies
recruiting on campus, but requesting more resume referrals and pre-screening.
Through this, we maintained a high level of interview opportunities (over 600).
Also, we estimated at least a 20% increase in our efforts urging companies to
recruit on campus. A summary of placement office activity is attached.

Public Relations and Governmental Affairs
1.

Public Relations

The Citadel was listed for the fourth consecutive year by U. S. News and
World Report as one of "America's Best Colleges."
The rating, ninth among
Southern Regional Colleges and Universities, as listed in the 1992 annual college
edition, published 30 September 1991, contributed to a positive year for the
college from an aspect of public relations.
Campus tours for groups from the lowcountry, and those visiting the
city, increased during the reporting period. Sixty-six groups, versus 58 for the
previous year, formally requested campus tours or seating for Friday afternoon
parades.
This increase can be attributed to several factors; The Citadel is
featured in the City Visitors Center display of attractions, publications on the
college were distributed to the Visitors Center and Welcome Centers located on
interstates leading into the state, and the Association of City Tour guides were
provided a tour of the campus at their request because of increased interest in
the institution by out of town tourists.
National and international attention was focused on the college during
the year when The Citadel Band and Pipe Band represented the United States of
America in Scotland at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo during the month of August.
Citadel cadets played a key role as Ambassadors for the City of
Charleston during the annual conference of Fortune 500 executives held in
November.
Selected cadets escorted families and some of America's leading
business men during the conference. In September, the Ryder Cup golf tournament
featured The Citadel Pipe Band and Band in its official ceremonies that were
included in the Professional Golf Association's Ryder Cup video. Attention was
again focused on the Band when it performed in Charleston for the President of
the United States on 21 February 1992.
2.

Governmental Affairs

The most significant piece of legislation regarding The Citadel that
surfaced in the 1992 General Assembly was a vote in the House Education committee
regarding House Bill 3150, which, if passed, would call for admission of women
into the Corps of Cadets. The Bill was defeated, in Committee, on 4 February by
a vote of 14 to 1.
William E. Jenkinson III was elected to the Board of Visitors by the
General Assembly.
He replaced Colonel George C. James who did not seek reelection. Stephen D. Peper was elected by the General Assembly to fill the Board
of Visitors' seat occupied by William R. Risher. Colonel Risher died in April.

Summer Camp for Boys

Celebrating the 36th Anniversary of the program's establishment by General
Mark Clark in 1957, the camp staff welcomed to the first session 146 boys from
17 states. Approximately half of those boys are residents of South Carolina.
General Watts opened that session on Sunday, June 14 and closed it on Saturday,
July 4 as 145 boys graduated. The second session opened on Sunday, July 12 with
199 boys from 20 states, Mexico, France, Spain, Saudi Arabia, and England. The
second session closed on Saturday, August 1 with 198 boys graduating. General
Watts addressed the campers during graduation exercises.
Last year's final
enrollment was 354 for both sessions. This year's final enrollment was 343.
The camp employed approximately 60 cadets, alumni, and former campers as
counselors and senior staff members.
Scholarships totaling $2,500 was awarded by the camp this se&amp;sion.
Outstanding cadet counselors were Jason Buda (a rising junior in Kilo Company)
from Tampa, Florida (First Session), and Leroy Marshall (a rising junior in Band
Company) from Spartanburg, South Carolina, (Second Session).

                  <text>&lt;p class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;The oldest known Citadel Class Ring dates to 1895, and features a dark stone with the year '95 inscribed in the center. Early rings changed design from year to year until the design was standardized in 1940. A special war ring was made for those who had been called to active duty directly from The Citadel at the close of the 1942-1943 academic year. This war ring was unique in that it did not have class numerals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;Citadel Class Rings for the Corps of Cadets feature an oval crest with a Palmetto tree and the South Carolina State Seal with the graduating class numerals. The words “The Military College of S.C. 1842” wrap around the oval. The right side of the ring depicts the United States and South Carolina flags, cannon balls, and a star representing the Star of the West steamship that cadets fired upon in January of 1861. The left side depicts a crossed sword and rifle with oak leaves and laurel wreath.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

                <text>&lt;p class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;The oldest known Citadel Class Ring dates to 1895, and features a dark stone with the year '95 inscribed in the center. Early rings changed design from year to year until the design was standardized in 1940. A special war ring was made for those who had been called to active duty directly from The Citadel at the close of the 1942-1943 academic year. This war ring was unique in that it did not have class numerals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="p1"&gt;&lt;span class="s1"&gt;Citadel Class Rings for the Corps of Cadets feature an oval crest with a Palmetto tree and the South Carolina State Seal with the graduating class numerals. The words “The Military College of S.C. 1842” wrap around the oval. The right side of the ring depicts the United States and South Carolina flags, cannon balls, and a star representing the Star of the West steamship that cadets fired upon in January of 1861. The left side depicts a crossed sword and rifle with oak leaves and laurel wreath.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
