Such new purpose and dire ction can act as a great incentive to help raise our levels of acade~1ic achi~vemcnt-- and. our students will be better citizens b~cause of their ir.volvement in it.

that are commensurate with its r es ources-- and the challenge of the 'Hodel Cities' program~ in this sense something of a gift to Georgia Tech$ Our association with Hodel Cities- canoe much more fruitful to us thnn simiiar association with Urban Renewal has been in the past. ·•Hodel Cities ' has the built~in capac:tty to succeed where previous programs pr oved a~ortive. This is because of its bnsic principle of Citizen participation and its total integration of Social economic and physical i mprovement measures.
