By MICK MeGRATH E d itor-in -C h ief
At IUPUI, a new library, Phase III of the Science/En- gineering and Technology com
plex, acquisition of the Mary Cable Building and Phase I of the renovation of the Medical Sciences Building are among the 10 capital improvement projects for the eight-campus IU system approved by the IU Board of Trustees.
At its June 4 meeting on the campus of IU-Kokomo, the board approved the capital ap-
board approved the capital ap
propriation request for the 1989- 91 biennium.
The request will be submitted to the Indiana Commission for Higher Education (ICHE), which will make recommendations on the list o f 10 priority projects, before being submitted to the In
diana General Assembly for ap
proval during its 1989 session.
(See ed itoria l. P age 6) In a related matter, IU Presi
dent 'Hiomas Ehrlich announced at a press conference June 23 that Lilly Endowment, Inc. has agreed to provide a $12 million
grant towards the projected $32 million cost far the construction of a new library at IUPUI.
“With the building of a new li- , the single most important o f this campus is Anally being met," Ehrlich said.

The Endowment grant will be payable once the university has secured the private and public funding for the prqject.
To assist in the acquisition of private donations to the library prqject, the university has formed a committee. William H.
Hudnut III, mayor of In
dianapolis, Dr. Glenn W. Irwin, Jr., dean emeritus of the IU School of Medicine and former IU vice president for In
dianapolis, and Richard D.
Wood, chairman and chief exec
utive ofAcer of Eli Lilly and Company, will serve as co- chairmen of the 30-member committee.
Barbara Fisrhler. director of libraries at IUPUI, said the first preliminary architect's plans for the five-floor, 186,594 square- foot building to be located just east of the Business/SPEA and Education/Social Work buildings have been completed.
The new red brick library will hold the collections from the University Library and the Science and Engineering Li
brary. Those two buildings to-

Drug suit dismissal may be imminent
Because of a change in the plans o f the plaintiff, the suit filed against Indiana University questioning the constitutionality of mandatory drug testing of student athletes at IUPUI may be dismissed.
Stanley D. Miller, a member of the IUPUI soccer team during the 1987 season, has decided not to play soccer during the 1988 season, meaning he would no longer be subject to the univer
sity’s drug testing policy.
“You need to have somebody affected by (the policy) to hove standing in court,” said Richard Waples, legal director of the In
diana Civil Liberties Union (ICLU), which filed the suit on Miller's behalf in December.
“So unless someone with some standing steps forward very soon and acts to carry on where Stan left off, the case would
have to be dismissed,” Waples said.
The suit was scheduled to go to court Aug. 22.
Waples said that the ICLU filed a notice June 23 to the U S.
District Court in Indianapolis informing Judge Larry J.
McKinney o f the change in cir
cumstances and requesting a conference with a magistrate
Miller, sports editor at the Sagamort, cited a new full-time job, his class schedule for the fall semester and his work as a soccer referee as reasons why he would not be competing on the soccer team in the fall. He will also be stepping down as sports editor at the end o f the summer.
Miller filed a complaint with the ICLU over the mandatory drug testing policy at IUPUI in September o f last year. Since See SUIT, Page 14
New zoo right next door
By LESLIE L. FULLER S en ior S ta ff W riter
IUPUrs new neighbor - - the Indianapolis Zoo at 1200 West Washington St. — did not remain a stranger for long; some cooperative research and educa
tional relationships have al
ready been established, and the two institutions have “a clear understanding” that future projects will be aggressively pursued, said William Plater, dean of faculties.
“We think they share with us a responsibility for education and for general improvement in the cultural ambience in the state of Indiana,” added Plater.
One o f the first cooperative projects between the state's
premier xoo and its third-largest university was the ”Zooconomy”
course offered through the Cen
ter for Economic Education, which taught educators how to teach children economic princi
ples.
*The xoo is very much like a small city, a microcosm o f the real world,” said CEE acting director John Hail. “ It’s an auto
matic attention-getter. In eco
nomic education, we are always trying to show the teachers that economics is not something they should try to teach in isolation.”
The 46 members of the
“Zooconomy* class were among the hordes that migrated through xoo gates last month, but the pupils bypassed camel See ZOO. Page 3

Indy encyclopedia will chronicle capital city
If everything goes according to plan, five years from now a resource will be available for those curious about Indiana’s capital.
Under the direction o f the. Center o f American Studies at IUPUI, a prospectus for an en
cyclopedia of Indianapolis history has been drawn up. ,
The project will be under the auspices of POLIS (Project On-Line, Indianapolis Study) a multidisciplinary urban research program focusing on Indianapolis. POLIS originated as ah activity of the Center o f American Studies in the School of Liberal Arts.
* Jan Shipps, director of the Center and a professor o f religious studies and history, was chairperson of the task force that organized the encyclopedia.
“W ell use every technique known to the his
torical profession to try to get information so that it will be the best researched reference work on any city in the country. That’s our goal,” said Shipps.
Currently, only Cleveland, Ohio, and London, England have d ty encyclopedias. Cincinnati, Chicago and Pittsburgh are planning similar encyclopedias.
A nation-wide search for an editor o f the en
cyclopedia, who will also serve as.the director of POLIS and as a faculty member in the history department, has resulted in some “outstanding”
candidates and the position should be filled be
fore the beginning o f the fall semester, said Shipps.
Also instrumental in the planning task force were the Indiana Historical Bureau and the In
diana Historical Society. The Center al^o con
sulted David Van Tassell, senior editor Of^he Cleveland encyclopedia and chairman of the history department at. Case Western Reserve University.
Through private sources, the Center hopes to raise $1 million to fund the project. The pro
ject’s office and staff will be located within the Center.
In the 18908 there was an attempt at a similar project, but it was “a commercial ven
ture,” said Shipps.
“(The encyclopedia) is going to be a real reference work,” Shipps said. “ It’s not going to be a list o f people who can pay their way in.”
As outlined in the prospectus, the en
cyclopedia will open with a narrative overview of the city’ s development since its founding. Fol
lowing the introduction, in alphabetical order,
h h uhikxliit
INDIANAPOLIS
will be 33 major interpretive essays on the sepa
rate rubrics from architecture to women, several hundred mini-essays, and over 2,000 general entries.
There will be no individual entries on living persons. City leaders and people o f note, such as Mayor William Hudnut, would be written up in those entries on their areas o f influence.
It will take four years to write the text and another year to publish the encyclopedia, said Shipps. Indiana University Press, which pub- lia k ^ th e Cleveland encyclopedia, will also pub-
Indianapolis encyclopedia.
“We hope to have it ready for the printer in 1993 and have the finished encyclopedia ready for the Christmas trade in 1994,” Shipps said.
“We want it to be in every classroom in central Indiana where they teach history."
Shipps said the encyclopedia will also be a valuable resource for newspapers, businesses, and public relations firms, as well as those indi
viduals interested in the city’s histoiy.
Persons interested in the development of the project should call the Center for American Studies at 274-2170.
Organ transplants, funds concern hospitals
Center begins li program
The recipient of Indiana’s first liver transplant, performed by surgeons at the Indi
ana University Medical Center, is reported doing well and was scheduled to ba released from University Hospital in late June.
Gloria Hayden, 31, underwent surgery May 25 to replatfTher failing liver.
In July, Dr. Mark D. Pescovitz of the Univer
sity of Minnesota in Minneapolis will join Dr.
Peter Friend as co-director of the liver program at the Medical Center.
Pescovitz has experience in liver and pan
creatic transplantation. Friend performed over 2,50 liver transplants while at the University of Cambridge in England.
Konstance Arnold joined the staff of the liver program in June as coordinator o f nurses. Pre
vious to her accepting the position here, Arnold worked with the liver transplant program at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Michigan.
Telethon raises funds fo r Riley
Over $1 million was raised for Riley Hospital for Children through The Children’s Miracle Network Telethon for Riley Hospital, conducted
June 4 and 5.
The figure represents the highest total in the five years of the telethon and met the original goal of surpassing the million mark by the fifth year, said Audrey Whitaker, secretary for the telethon.
1 millionth patient honored
Nearly three-quarters o f a century after the first patient was admitted in 1914 to Long Hos
pital, the Indiana University Hospitals ad
mitted the one millionth.
Chase Carter, a social worker at the Veterans Administration Hospital, was admitted May 6 for the treatment o f iyheart condition.
On May 18, at a ceremony in honor of the milestone, Carter was presented with a plaque by Dr. Glenn W. Irwin, Jr., dean emeritus of the IU School o f Medicine and former vice president of IUPUI.
Carter also received a limousine ride to and from dinner for two a weekend in a hotel and two round-trip airline tickets, all donated by lo
cal businesses.
IU Hospitals is comprised of University Hos
pital and James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children. Long Hospital is no longer used for patient admissions.

Science/Liberal Arts merger gets mixed reception
By MICK MeGRATH E ditor-In -C h ief
Reaction from the faculty of tha schools of science and liberal arts to the idea of merging the two schools at IUPUI under one dean was mixed.
One thumb up, one thumb down.
In a letter dated May 27 to fac
ulty members in both schools, William Plater, dean of the faculties, suggested that the fac
ulty consider the idea and reply by June 10.
On June 2, informal meetings of both faculties were held to discuss the merger. The liberal arte faculty adopted a resolu
tion, with only one dissenting
vote, “strongly* endorsing the idea while the science faculty voted 33-6 with seven absten
tions against the idea.
ITte lone dissenting vote among the liberal arte faculty was not a vote of opposition. The person wanted the merger ac
complished in one year rather than leaving the time frame open, said Pat McGeever, profes
sor of political science and presi
dent of the School of Liberal Arte Faculty Assembly.
Approximately 57 faculty members attended the liberal arts meeting, with 48 in at
tendance at the science faculty meeting. Not all persons were present when the final votes
were taken in the meetings.
The School of Science has 106 faculty in seven departments with approximately 1250 majors. The School of Liberal Arts has 112 faculty in 13 de
partments with 994 majors Graduates of the School of Science receive Purdue degrees, while the liberal arts school is an IU mission.
Since the first meeting, the lib
eral arte Agenda Council and the Dean's Administrative Ad visory Committee of the School of Science have met to discuss increased cooperation between the two schools. The two groups will meet again in July.
McGeever said the merger of the two schools would help to

ples o f the economic principles that rule a too.
Next fall, the teachers will use the lessons of this summer field trip in classrooms throughout the Indianapolis Public School system, teaching students in grades four through eight how to budget a home for exotic animals.
The Young Scholars Program at IUPUI offered a program al
lowing 8th and 9th graders with an interest in science exposure to “science-related activities"
within the Indianapolis Zoo, said Miriam Langsam, program director.
"The real problem with doing most scientific research is that you need a real knowledge of mathematics... but you can watch a particular animal and get some feel for animal behav
ior," said Langsam. She estimated that an expanded pro
gram would be readied by next spring or summer.
Rick Ward, associate professor in oral-facial genetics and anthropology, has been involved with the development of
“interpreter materials” for zoo
exhibits as well as the La Celba project which introduced the is
sues concerning man and North American rain forests to school audiences.
Ward said he plans to send the students who enroll in his primate study course next fall to the zoo as part of their homework. “They're our neigh
bor now. We can do that," he said.
One point seems to be unani
mous: “ I think it couldn't be any more delightful to have a world- class zoo on our border," said IUPUI Chancellor Gerald L.
Bepko.
unity IUPUI.
~The supposed merger of IU and Purdue 20 years ago hasn't really happened," McGeever said. “IUPUI is really a loose amalgamation of separate schools pursuing different objec tivee. If we had a unified school of the sciences and liberal arte that had a common curriculum and was much more of a core for the university IUPUI could de
velop much more of an identity and become more of a quality in
stitution.”
Robert W Keck, who will take over the helm of the School of Science July 1 as acting dean when Marhall Yovite steps down as dean of the school, said that the negative response from those faculty members in at
tendance was probably indica
tive of the faculty as a whole.
"I believe this is a legitimate sample of the entire (science) school’s statement.”
The science faculty were also leery of forming a task force to explore merging the two schools, voting 30-13 with two absten
tions against the idea.
In the minutes from the science meeting, in a sum
marization of the opposition to a task force, it states “It is dangerous to vote for a study.
Things have been happening much faster around here lately.
It is doubtful that after taking time for a study the administra
tion would ever decide to go
back to looking for two erperate deans ”
In the meantime, the search for a permanent dean for the School of Science will continue
John Barlow, acting dean of the School of Liberal Arte since July 1, 1987 when Plater left the liberal arts dean ship to take over as dean of the faculties, is expected to be approved as the dean of liberal arts by the IU Board of Trustees at its next meeting July 31 -August 2
After receiving the resolution from the liberal arts faculty and the minutes from the science faculty meeting, Plater responded with another letter stating that although it did not appear that either faculty wanted to pursue the merger as an immediate objective, “there appears to be strong interest in considering closer cooperation between the schools in the near term and a possible combination of the schools at some future date."
Plater suggested in the letter that a task force composed of representatives of the two schools meet early in the fall semester to discuss increased cooperation.
“ I think that this was a very important issue for the faculty to talk about," Plater said
“What we do now is going to set the stage for what this school is like in the year 2000."

J u ly 1988Hotel gets tem porary m anager
It will look like the same hotel but it won’t be the Lincoln.
The university hae approved a * 30-day agreement thnt the Lin
coln Hotel’s owner, University Development Group I, has signed with Conference Environ
ments Inc. of New York to manage the hotel.
“We anticipate that longer term arrangements will unfold as ongoing negotiations con
tinue,* said Terry Clapacs, vice president for facilities at Indi
ana University. The 30-day agreement will expire in mid- July.
Indiana University owns the land the hotel sits on and leases it to the hotel’s owners. Al
though the contract to manage the hotel is negotiated by the owners, the university has final approval of the manager. The University Conference Center is owned and operated by the uni
versity.
In November, Lincoln Proper
ty Co. of Dallas, parent company of Lincoln Hotels Corp., the originnl manager of the hotel on the IUPUI campus, decided to liquidate its hotel division, leav
ing the hotel here without a
manager.
Since then, the hotel has been managed by the owners while a search for a new manager was conducted.
Conference Environments Inc.
operates a conference center on the campus of Syracuse Univer
sity and Arrowwood, a confer
ence center in Rye, New York, that is the "most profitable and successful executive conference center in the country," said John Short, director of the Conference Center at IUPUI.
Advertisements for the Confer
ence Center and hotel are al
ready using the names Univer
sity Place and University Execu
tive Conference Center and Hotel at IUPUI, but the sign in front of the hotel won’t be changed until a permanent agreement is entered into, said Short.
The name change was neces
sary, Short said, because many of the hotel and Conference Cen
ter’s customers were confused as to the name of the Conference Center.
"Ninety percent of the world thought we were the Lincoln Conference Center," he said.
“The one thing I will not let hap
pen is for the Conference Center to lose the connection with the university."
Short estimated that 80 per
cent of the business at the Con
ference Center is university in
spired and said that the Cen
ter’s relationship with the uni
versity is one o f the best selling points in trying to attract poten
tial customers.
In other business, in partner
ship with the Center for Philanthropy at IUPUI, the Conference Center will host a series of 15 national university leadership conferences begin
ning in October and continuing through April.
The conferences, under the direction o f the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education in Washington, D.C., will bring administrators and of
ficers from universities across the United States to In
dianapolis.
"Everybody in the country is going to know about IUPUI be
cause they’re all going to have a first hand experience with it,"
Short said.

Coming attractions: New deans for nursing, SPEA
By JIM H U BBARD
The IU schools o f nursing and public and environmental affairs will welcome new deans this summer.
Constance M. Baker will re
place Elisabeth M. Grossman as dean o f the nation’s largest nursing school on July 1. A.
James Barnes will take over the SPEA helm from Charles F.
Bonser, the first dean of the 16- year-old school.
Dr. Barnes, who will relin
quish his duties as deputy ad
ministrator of the Environmen
tal Protection Agency is no stranger to Indiana. Back in the early 70’s Barnes conducted a major study of the state’s trial court system for the Indiana
Judicial Study Commission.
Barnes was assistant professor of business law at IU in 1967-69, and won a distinguished teacher award given by the Class of 1969.
Afler leaving IU in 1969 he held various administrative positions in Washington, D.C.
with the Department o f Justice, Department of Agriculture and the EPA.
Barnes did his undergraduate work at Michigan State Univer
sity, receiving the B.A. degree with honors in 1964. He also holds a Doctor o f Jurisprudence degree, cum laude, from the Harvard Law School.
Carlyn Johnson, a member of
a member of the search and select committee which was responsible for recommending the new dean, cited his
“enormous range o f experience,”
and his rise through the public sector, as opposed to a strictly academic itinerary, as ad
vantages.
At press time Barnes was va
cationing and unavailable for comment.
The current dean of SPEA, Charles F. Bonser, will continue to hold dual faculty appoint
ments in SPEA and the School o f Business.
On July ,.1 , Constance M.

Parking and parking violation rates will increase for students, faculty and staff this year.
Rates for “E” permits for stu
dents enrolled in nine credit hours o f more will increase from
$16.80 to $18.00 per semester.
For students enrolled in eight credit hours or less, the rates per semester, will increase from
$8.40 to $9.
“A" permits will climb from
$12.70 to $13.75 per month and
“B” permits will rise ibHf5.80 to
$6.20 per month. , A new permit, the “H” permit for' “B" and “C” shift hospital employees will be $6.20 per
month. * |
Parking fines have increased from $5, $10 and $25 to $7.50,
$15 and $30. A portion of the fines goes to the University Li
brary.
All rate changes are effective July 1.
In the 1986-87 fiscal year, 27 percent, about $26,000, of the to
tal fines collected went to the li
brary.
John Nolte, director o f Parking Services, said the rise in the cost of doing business, need for new facilities, such as a parking ga
rage, and the fact that Parking Services receives no state funds contributed to the raise in park
ing rates.
Meanwhile, major construction on parking lots is still in the works for some areas o f the IUPUI campus in^preparation for the fall semester, according to John Gilbert, assistant direc
tor of Parking Services.
Scheduled to be completed in August, workers will be remov
ing the blacktop and altering the configuration of Lot 26, lo
cated at the site of the old Uni
versity Services Building be
tween Middle Drive and West Drive.
Beginning in mid June or July, lots 69, 70, 71 and 85 will be up
graded. Parking Services also plans to construct temporary lots east of California Street on both sides of Vermont Stfreet to make up for parking lost to con
struction of Phase II of the Science/Engineering and Tech
nology complex, scheduled to be
gin sometime in the fall
semester. Two lots north of North Street and east o f Bright Street will also be constructed.
At the May 13 meeting of the IUPUI Parking Advisory Com
mittee, changes in permits issued to continuing studies stu
dents was discussed. . Nolte said that three permits

Legislature needs to know importance of new library
F or too long IU P U I h a s had to m ake do with an
inadequate main library.
Barbara Fischler, director of libraries, and her staff are to be com m ended for m aking the best of a bad situation. They are only too aware of the short
co m in gs of the University Library - lack of space, holdings, and funds.
At the last Board of T rustees meeting a new library for IU P U I w a s se con d on the list, behind the renovation of the C rescent buildings on the Bloom ington cam pus, of 10 capital improvement projects approved by the trustees that will be presented to the Indiana G eneral A sse m b ly for funding during the 1989 se ssio n that b egins in January.
T o persuade the legislature to look kindly upon the request for funds to construct a new library, the university h a s formed a committee to oversee the acquisition of $2 0 million in private funds for the library project, almost two-thirds of the estimated $32 million cost.
Students, faculty and staff can also help to en sure the s u c c e s s of the library project.
Y o u r state senator or representative m ay not re- alize that the quality of an undergraduate orgraduate education d ep e n d s greatly on the quality of an institution’s library facilities. O r that the quality of the program s at IU P U I d o e sn ’t affect just Marion County residents, but those IU P U I students, and their par
ents, residing in the surrounding counties.The legis
lators representing central Indiana may not realize how important this issu e is to their constituents voting in the fall.

Education secretary backs study of Western ideas
atured V /p in lo n
By William J. Bennett
JUnder pressure from a vocal group of students and faculty protesting a re
quired freshman program in Western cul
ture, Stanford University recently discon
tinued its mandatory Western studies program. William J. Bennett, U.S. Secre
tary o f Education, responds to that deci
sion in this Collegiate Times column.
IN A P R IL I SPOKE to students and faculty at Stanford University about the school’s recent decision to abolish its Western culture program. Since that time, there have been attempts to pass off the changes as slight alterations — as minor pedagogical modifications. But the effect of the two-year debate at Stanford is far more significant than such a char
acterization would suggest. At stake was more than the fate of a single freshman requirement. In fact, the central ques
tions underlying the debate at Stanford
— whether and why we should study Western civilization — are important ones for American higher education in general, and they are under considera
tion on campuses across the country. So let me address the core issue of the
debate: Why must we study, nurture and defend the West?
I’LL GIVE YOU FOUR reasons. First, because it is ours. It is the culture in which we live and in which most of us will continue to live, whether our grand
parents are African or Asian, Hungarian or Mexican, Muslim or Shifito. Our in
stitutions and ideals have all acquired their shape and significance through the course of Western history, largely though not exclusively through the European ex
perience. To be sure, China, India, Afri
ca, and other societies and cultures have made contributions to our institutions and ideals. Western civilization is strong in part because it is open — it studies and learns from others.
THE SECOND REASON WE must study the West is that it is good. It is not all good. In the story o f Western civiliza
tion, there are volumes of ir\justices great and small, of sins, omissiona and errors. Nevertheless, the West has pro
duced the world’s most just and effective
*s^f tern of government: the system of rep
resentative democracy. It has set the moraK political, economic, and social standard* for the rest of the world. To quote Allan Bloom, “Our story is the majestic triumphant march o f two princi
ples: freedom and equality.”
TH IS LEADS ME TO the third reason
— thi'reason that Western civilization’s critics seem to have entirely missed: the
West ^s a source of incomparable in tellectual complexity and diversity and depth. Western civilization is emphati
cally not an endorsement of a particular
“party line." On the contrary, the West’s long history of self-critical dialogue is one of its greatest strengths In the tradi
tion of Peter Abelard, our civilization of
fers a great sic et non on the human con
dition. Consider the point/counterpoint of Western thought. On the ends of govern
ment, whom do we follow — Mach son or Marx? On the merits of religious life ~ Aquinas or Voltaire? On the nobility of the warrior — Homer or Erasmus?
THE CLASSICS OF WESTERN phi losophy and literature amount to a great debate on the perennial questions. To deprive students of this debate is to con
demn them to improvise their ways of living in ignorance of ^heir real options and the best arguments for each. Those who take the study of the West seriously end up living a'variety of different lives and arriving at a diversity of opinions and positions.
TH IS BRINGS ME TO my final rea son for studying and protecting the West and its unique tradition of open dis
course and philosophic inquiry: we must do so because the West is under attack.
Oftentimes the assault comes from out
side the West, but sometimes, sadly, it comes from withip. Those who attack Western values and accomplishments do not see an America that —- despite its
imperfections, its weaknesses, its sins has,served and continues to serve os a beacon to the world. Instead, theirs is an America hopelessly tainted tainted by racism, imperialism, sexism, capitalism, ethnocentnsm, elitism, and a host of other “isms.” So, the critics’ assertion goes, by diminishing the study of the West in our colleges and universities, we can take an important step toward rid ding the world o f these unholy “isms.”
1 W dCfcD REMIND THOSE entres that it is Western civilization that has taught much of the world about the evils of sexism, racism, and elitism After all, where do the concepts of rights, equality, and diversity come from? It is m the West, it is from the West, that we have learned — over time, through struggle, after bloodshed — to stand squarely be ihind liberty and equality for all people
* MY ADVICE TO STUDENTS at Stanford and at all colleges is this; Study the W'est, study it well and thoughtfully, and build on that sturdy as you cohtinue your education. In saying “study the West,” I don’t mean study only the West O f course not. There is much to commend the idea of exploring other tradition* of thought. But all the arguments for diver sity in no way diminish the importance
— indeed the necessity — of studying the West.

fe a tu r e d O p i n i o n ^
By Anne D o n c h i n y
“WHY MUST WE STUDY, nurture and defend the West?” Education Secre
tary Bennett asks. Crowded into that disarmingly innocent rhetorical question is a hornet’s nest of question-begging as
sumptions. For a start, it presumes that the West is under attack and needs defending. Who are its attackers? What is this embattled culture that Bennett feels compelled to defend? Whose is it?
Many of us would have been denied the opportunity to earn a Ph.D. even a single generation ago — women, the children of immigrants, descendants of African slaves.
The core western civilization cur
riculum that Secretary Bennett so pas
sionately defends does not recognize the experiences of women or ethnic minorities, the poor or immigrants. Its voice is that of socially privileged white European males whose own experiences stand as the model “Western experi
ence."
FOR A GENERATION NOW women and ethnic minorities have been protest
ing our invisibility, insisting on a voice within college textbooks. The proposal Secretary Bennett opposes, which was just adopted by the Stanford faculty senate, responds to these efforts, opening up the curriculum to more adequately reflect c^ir contemporary multicultural society. Contrary to Bennett’s accusa
tions, these changes do not renounce Western ideals and institutions. This reform in freshman requi^Blfcnts merely attempts to rectify the balance. Stan
ford’s freshmen will still be required to take a year-long course with goals similar to those o f the old “Western cul
ture” requirement, Jmt the new “Cul
tures, Ideas and Values” requirement will draw on a'broader diversity of texts.
SO WHY THE FU R OR ? Why did Bennett travel personally to#the West coast to impose the power of Vis federal office on the campus of Stanford, a pri-.
vate university? If we are to believe the text of Bennett’s essay the very fate of Western civilization is riding on the sur
vival of Western culture programs like Stanford’s. He gives four “reasons.” But each of his reasons for defending the tra - ditional requirements would far more readily justify the educational reforms he so abhors. He tells us first, that this is our culture, a culture that has historical
ly been opeh to the contributions of non- Europeans. But it is just such openness that the Stanford reforms aim to preserve. Second, he pronounces it a
“good” culture because principles like freedom and equality play a definitive role. How ironic that in the name of free
dom and equality he would defend a cur
riculum that shuts out the voices of all

BENNETT BELIEVES IIIS TH IRD reason introduces a point wholly over looked by his critics: “the West proclaims, “is a source ^gfljpcompnrable diversity and depth." But if diversity and depth were really welcomed, then there would be no controversy here at all, no camjg*ign tq shuh the contributions of Women’s Studies and Afro American scholars. Finally, Bennett argues, we need to protect the West because “its unique tradition of open discourse and philosophical inquiry ... is under attack.”
We are “assaulted," he proclaims, not only from’ outside the West but from withiTT too, by those who point to the taint of racism, sexism, ethnocentnsm, and elitism within our midst’
.W H A T FITTING EPITHETS TO characterize Bennetts own brand of chauvinistic patriotism. Pervading his essay is a tone of self-congratulation, a smug complacency reminiscent of Bntjsh colonialism during the dying days of their empire. Much as Britain, attempted to impose on her colonies its own elite culture, so Bennett is now using the power of his ofTice to propagate the European-American tradition as the ofTi rial culture.
TO QSSIFY THE WESTERN cultu tradition within a vision of American cul
ture of SO years ago would not only ex
acerbate class, race and sex divisions within our society but would also in
tensify our histbric isolation from non- European societies.
IF BILL BENNETT HAS anything really to fear it’s that students will dis cover that college is not just a place to passively absorb the wisdom of the ages Its the opportunity to become active agents of choice in shaping a more demo
cratic future.

Student Government changes focus for next year
Issues, not entertainment, will be the focus of the Student Gov
ernment during the next year.
The new focus was the main subject of the two Student Senate meetings during June.
“W e’re an issues oriented group this year," said Nathan Brindle, student body vice presi
dent.
With the formation during the past spring semester o f thq Stu
dent Activities Programming Board, which will oversee the annual fall and spring festivals, the Colossal Collegiate Weekend, the film series and
other student-related activities that the senate was formerly responsible for planning and directing, the senate will con
centrate on specific issues affect
ing students at IUPUT.
By setting up committees that will deal with specific areas of concern and by limiting the number of committees so that the student leaders will not be spread too thin, Student Body President Glenda Smith said that the senate can keep its goals realistic, making a suc
cessful year more likely for the group.
"1 think we would like to see our goals centered around our committees and work them to their fullest extent,” Smith said.
The senate will probably limit itself to four committees — a Housing Committee, an Indiana Students Association Committee (ISAC), a Commuter Affairs Committee, and possibly a Philanthropy Committee.
At their June 1 meeting the senate approved Michael McFall, senator from the School of Science, as chairperson of the Housing Committee and Linda Proffitt, senator-at-large, as
Trustee seat.up for elections
The four candidates vying for the one spot up for election this year on the IU Board of Trustees will find out June 30 who will take a seat alongside the eight other trustees.
Harry L. Gonso, the current vice president of the board and seeking re-election, is being challenged by Cynthia Pearl Stone, Frank Andrew Rogers, and Brad A. Queisser for the seat voted on by IU alumni.
Alumni elect three o f the nine board members to staggered three-year terms. O f the remain
ing trustees, five are appointed by the governor to the board for three-year terms and a student trustee is appointed by the gov
ernor for a two-year term.
Gonso has served on the board since 1976. He received his law degree from the IU School of Law and is a partner in the In
dianapolis law firm of Ice Miller
Donadio and Ryan. Gonso served as chairman of the presi
dential search committee that recommended the selection of Thomas Ehrlich as president of IU.
Stone is a training specialist with the IU Physical Plant on the Bloomington campus. She has an undergraduate degree from IU in special education and is completing a master’s degree in instructional systems technol
ogy.
Rogers is the owner of the Nashville House, The Ordinary, and The Seasons Lodge and Conference Center in Nashville, Ind. He has a bachelor of science degree form IU.
Queisser has a bachelor of arts degree from IU and was a mem
ber of the Blue Key National Honor Society and Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He is currently pursuing a law degree at the IU
School of Law in Indianapolis.
Over 270,000 ballots have been mailed out to IU degree holders.
Alumni can also show up in person at 9 a m., June 30, to cast their ballot in the main li
brary on the Bloomington campus, said Robert Burton, secretary to the Board of Trustees.
Last year, alumni re-elected Dr. Joseph Black to the board.
Black, who has served as a trustee since 1972, was un
contested. Next year, Ann W.
Swedeen, first elected by the alumni in 1986, will be up for re- election.
Also next year, the terms of four other members of the board, all appointed by the gov
ernor, will expire, including stu
dent trustee and IU School of Law-Indianapolis student Joseph R. Motherwell.

chairperson of the Indiana Stu
dents Association Committee.
Nomination and approval of the members of those two com
mittees, and nomination and ap
proval of a chairperson and members for the Commuter Af
fairs Committee were tabled un
til more members of the senate could be present.
The senate has not yet decided on the formation of a Philosophy Committee, which would con
cern itself with the acquisition o f funds for scholarships and yearly dues for membership in the Indiana Student Association (ISA), an organisation of student leaders from Indiana colleges.
Although the agenda of items the Housing Committee will con
cern itself with have not yet been decided, some preliminary topics include determining what need there is for additional
housing on campus,
maintenance of existing hous
ing, possibly contacting private investors for potential funding of new housing and safety.
“I want to make sure we head in a realistic direction before we take off,” said McFall. “ I’m in
terested in setting realistic goals for the committee.”
As chairperson of ISAC, Prof
fitt will be a member of ISA. The statewide organisation will meet regularly on the IUPUI campus, its base for the next year.
ISA will work to influence state legislators in the area of student concerns. Statewide concerns for ISA during the next year include placing a student on the Indiana Commission for Higher Education and lowering the student share of 4he general education fund for state sup
ported universities in Indiana, said Proffitt.
The miqor campus-specific goal for ISAC will probably be persuading the General Assemb
ly to approve funding for a new library at IUPUI, said Proffitt.
The library project is second on the capital appropriation re
quest list o f 10 capital improve
ment projects approved by the IU Board of Trustees at its June meeting in Kokomo.
Possible issues of concern for the Commuter Affairs Com
mittee will include child care on campus, parking and pedestrian safety.
