       IN HONOR OF DR. GLORIA M. SHATTO, PRESIDENT, BERRY COLLEGE

  (Mr. BARR of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)

[[Page H5301]]

  Mr. BARR of Georgia. Madam Speaker, recently Dr. Gloria M. Shatto 
retired as president of Berry College. Dr. Shatto was inaugurated as 
Berry's sixth president in 1980 and thereby became the first woman to 
become a president of a college or university in the State of Georgia.
  Dr. Shatto's honors include Phi Beta Kappa, the Organization of 
American States fellowship, the Organization of Women fellowship, and 
the list goes on and on.
  To show its appreciation to Dr. Shatto, Berry College honored her 
with a ``Voice of Berry Lifetime Award.'' The award is presented 
annually to a student, faculty, or staff member for communicating 
effectively to enhance morale, ability to motivate and inspire others, 
and the willingness to encourage open and free discussion.
  Madam Speaker, Berry College is consistently recognized as one of the 
outstanding small comprehensive colleges in the South. Berry offers 
work experience as part of every student's development. Approximately 
90 percent of the students are employed on campus in 120 job 
classifications during an academic year.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly rise today in recognition of Dr. Shatto's 
outstanding service to Berry College and Berry's outstanding service to 
our Nation.
