Cam pus vending contract aw arded to M o rris o n ’ s
This (all, the Modem era ends.
Negotiations are currently un
derway to finalise a contract be- tween the university and a new food vendor for IU P U I, ending the almost 14 years M odem Vending has been on campus.
Modem Pood Systems, a wholly-owned subsidiary o f Modem Vending, joined its parent corporation on campus in 1984 to operate and manage manual food services.
In their place, the university has verbally identified Mor
rison’s Custom Management, a division o f Morrison's, Inc. of Mobile, Ala., as their vendor o f choice pending the negotiation o f a formal agreement expected to be completed on or about Aug.
15.
Elliott Nelson, president o f Modem Food 8ystems and Mod
e m Vending, said that, although he was satisfied with the bid
ding process and thought the university had been fair in its analysis o f the bids, the selec
tion o f an out-of-state company over a local vendor was dis
appointing.
"That probably bothers me just as much as losing the con
tract," he said.
T h a t ’s something I fault the state o f Indiana for," said N e l
son. "Whether I got it or some other local company got it, I think some preference should have been given to local com
panies."
John D. Williams, associate director o f administrative affairs for campus services, said that the support a national company like Morrison’s "will be an ad
vantage in meeting IU P U rs changing needs."
T h e charge o f the task force on food and vending services was to maximize the level o f ser
vice. To that end we had to act in the best intent o f the univer
sity and that did not allow for regional preferences," W illiams said.
Morrison’s, Inc., owns and op
erates over 300 restaurants, in cluding the Morrison's Cafeteria and Ruby Tuesday’s chains, mostly in ths southeastern sec
tion o f the country. Currently, Morrison’s has no restaurants in Indiana.

Mutz, Bayh offer education views
One featured speaker empha
sized "proven management" as a leadership skill while the other stressed "risk-taking" at last month’s Stanley K. Lacey leadership seminar in the U ni
versity Executive Conference Center.
Perhaps their views were not too surprising since the respec
tive orators were gubernatorial rivals John Mutz, who wants to become the latest link in a suc
cessive chain o f Republican state administrators, and Demo
cratic upstart Evan Bayh, who wants to break it.
Lt. Gov. John Mutz addressed the Chamber o f Commerce group first, noting that while he planned to respect the tenor of the evening as a non-political event, he felt it appropriate to
"give some indication as to how I might perform as the chief exec
utive o f Indiana."
Mutz spoke o f his youthfiil struggles to overcome a speech impediment and to accept his athletic limitations after being dropped from a basketball team, to illustrate his point that
"generally, leadership is some
thing that can be learned, en
hanced through personal dis
cipline."
Mutz seemed relaxed, speak
ing slowly and thoughtfully. He isolated President Ronald Reagan as an example o f good agenda setting, one o f the top characteristics o f leadership, ac
cording to Mutz. And he credited Reagan for public education’s leap "from casual interest to top concern."
"In the Mutz administration, we would focus a great deal of attention on education," he added. In an interview following his speech, Mutz said he believed that the key to better
ing Indiana’s status quo in high- sr education did not be "in terms o f money (but) aspira
tions."
"By and large, the issue is tell
ing someone in early life that
*you can do it , " he said in response to a question about ths causes o f low minority matriculation. "Generally speak
ing, our studies do not show money as a problem. The prob
lem is, there are many people that do not set to that point.”
Mutz said the studies o f his See RISK, Page 7

Nursing drought hits Medical Center
B y M IC K M c G R A T H E d ito r in C h ie f
Rainfall isn't the only thing in short supply across the country.
Health care fadlitiea in ths United States are experiendng a drought o f anothar kind, one with consequences as eenous as dying crops and barren fields.
A t ths hospitals and health centers that comprise the Indi
ana University Medical Center, located just a ■ tons’s throw from the country’s largest nursing school, the nationwide shortage o f nurses is forcing cutbacks and dslays in expansion.
B E C A U S E O F A L A C K o f nursing staff working in patisnt care, Larue D. Carter Memorial Hospital’s certification for receiving reimbursement through the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs is in jeopardy.
Losing its certification could ultimately endanger its ac
creditation with the Joint Com
mission on Accreditation o f Hos
pitals, which, in turn, would threaten its role as a teaching hospital within the Med Center.
T h e key to all this is adequate nursing and the key to that is adequate numbers,” said Iver F.
Small, assistant supsr- intendant-medical for Carter, a state mental health facility.
IN J U N E , T H E hospitsd wee told that it had until July 1 to take corrective actions to bring it into compliance with certifica
tion standards after inspectors from the U.S. Health Care Financing Administration visited Carter on March 31 and April 1 and determined that the
shortage o f nurses was affecting the quality o f patient care.
Since then, Carter has reduced the number o f beds in its youth services, hired three additional nurses, and added temporary help from nursing registries.
O N J U L Y 18 A N D 19 the hospital was re-inspected and administrators wsre informed verbally that the youth services were in compliance, Small said.
Corrective measures in adult and research services are ongo
ing and expected to take about two months to complsts.
"As o f July 1 the adult and re
search services are no longer certified,” 8mall said.
Ths loss o f certification threatens not only the $2.2 m il
lion that Carter receives annual
ly through Medicare and Medicaid reimbursements but also payments from other insur
ance companies, such as Blue Croee/Blue Shield.
IN O R D E R T O bring those services into compliance, Carter plans to reduce the number of wards from sight to five and reduce the number o f beds in the adult wards, thereby con
centrating the available nursing staff in a smaller area.
Small said that ths hospital's goal is to havs a resurvey of the
adult and research services in October or November in an at
tempt to gain recertification in those areas before 1989, when the hospital will be up for a reexamination by ths accredita
tion commission.
Carter is not alons in its prob
lems, however. Nationally, nurs
ing school enrollments are down 24 percent and health care facilities across the country are feeling the effects.
A t Wishard Hospital there are approximately 460 nurses on staff, but openings are available for "another 90 to 100,” said Jan Bowen, clinical nursing director for the hospital.
IU H O S P IT A L S , which in eludes University Hospital and James Whitcomb Rilsy Hospital for Children, have hired around 250 nurses sines January, but expansion o f newborn intensive care and pediatric intensive care units at Rilsy is being delayed because o f the shortage o f qualified nurses, said Sheila Smith, assistant to ths associate director o f nursing services for children at Riley.
"We know there are patients out there, but until we get the nursing staff to care for them we have to delay opening the beds,"
said Smith.
W H IL E H O S P IT A L S , where 70 percent o f the registered nurses in Indiana work, attempt to recruit new nurses, many are reevaluating the position’s responsibilities to determine whether other trained personnel on staff can take some o f the burden o f the job off o f nurses.

Slocum joins Student Affairs staff
W hether they realize it or not, incoming IUPU1 students have been touched by the office o f Student A ffair* even before taking their first classes here.
“M y focus in my area o f responsibility is front door service,” said R egistrar Richard E. Slocum, newly named associate dean for student affairs.
“W e have coordinating services to help new stu
dents when they come to I U P U I. W e want to do the best job we can.”
In his new role, Slocum coordinates adm is
sions, scholarships and financial aid, student orientation and information services as well as registration; areas that directly affect incoming as well as returning students.
He also supervises student res earch, the uni
versity testing center and student information systems.
Slocum is splitting his days between Student Affairs and his duties as registrar until a full time position is approved in Student Affairs and he can devote his efforts solely to that office. A full time registrar will then be hired.
"I look forw ard to contributing to the develop
ment o f student service* which are directed toward assisting our students in meeting their academic and personal objectives,' Slocum said.
Timothy L. Langston, dean o f Student Affairs, said supervising the 17 units that are grouped to form his office w as too big a jo b for on* per
son.
“I ’m very pleased to have a person that I can sit down and kick ideas around and do some plannning with,” Langston said. “D r. Slocum has been here (a t the university) for awhile, so he brings to the position a lot o f experience.”
Besides directly overseeing the operations of six units, Slocum is second in command for the office.
“When I cannot be here, he will have authority to act and I trust his judgem ent im
plicitly,” Langston said.
Slocum w as appointed IU P U T s registrar in 1980. He earned his bachelorV degree in 1964 from the University of Wisconsin and his master’s in 1967 from IU-Bloomington. Slocum then earned a doctoral degree in education from IU in 1979 while serving as this university's ac
ting registrar.
I U P U I ’s registration system has become fully computerized under Slocum’s guidance. Touch tone registration is the next step that will be taken soon, according to Langston.
A student will be able to call the registrar’s of
fice and punch in his identification num ber and the identifying num bers of the courses he wishes to sign up for.
Slocum said he expects about 4,500 students will be processed through the registrar’s office during the four days o f final registration that begin Aug. 15. According to his office’s current data, IU P U I should experience a significant in crease in undergraduate enrollment this fall, he said.

CORRECTIONS;
In a story in the July 1988 issue on the capi
tal improvement projects proposed for Indiana U niversity it was incorrectly reported that capita] projects for all eight IU campuses were included in the capital appropriation request approved by the IU Board o f Trustees. Only seven o f the eight campuses were included.
Capita] improvement projects for the IU P U - Fort W ayn e campus, which is administered by Purdue University, were not included in the IU appropriation request.
In a Briefly item in the July 1988 issue, the location o f the Mayo Clinic w as given as Rochester, Mich. The M ayo Clinic is in Rochester, Minn.
In a story on the new Indianapolis Zoo in the July 1988 issue, the title o f the L a Selva pro
ject w as misspelled. The project concerns South American rain forests, not North A m er
ican rain forests, as was reported. Also, Rick W ard, an assistant professor o f anthropology, w as mistakenly referred to as an associate professor.
Also in the July 1988 issue, the name Krysia Schulhof w as misspelled in the Cam pus In- quiry.
In the June 1988 issue, the reference to the
“Bill Jam es G reat American Baseball Slat Book” mistakenly omitted the word baseball from the title.
The S ag a m o re regrets the errors.

D rought damage to campus grounds defies estimate
By PEGGY WIESE HAN Despite the vast technological advances oT the 20th cantury, man rem ains to a great extent in aw e of a much older, leaa pre
dictable force — the weather.
Evidence o f this fact lies in the brown, crunchy law ns covering the I U P U I campus — if Hoosiers had known back in M ay that all those cloudless, sunny days would eventually add up to a drought, the ty p ic i race fervor might have been overcast with a tinge o f gloom.
Because the weather is so u n predictable, even as Indiana is in the midst of its worst dry spell since 1936, the permanent damage it has inflicted on the campus grounds is currently in
estimable, according to the grounds crew at IU P U I.
U nw illing to foretell how much plant life will survive this sum m e rs intensity, Prank Blaudow, director o f the Physical Plant, stated that while recent rains
have brought campus grass bock considerably, there is no way of telling how much has been last yet.
“W e ll know more in the fall,"
he said. T r e e s are even more difficult to judge than the grass because some can lose their leaves and still be alive. W hen they're not watered, trees use their own life-rooting system to survive, so it takes a long time to see if they're really going to make i t "
Overall Blaudow stated that the drought had no major affect o f IU P U I.
"The buildings withheld the heat because o f their insulation
— the summers are alw ays hot here," he said.
Referring to air-conditioning o f the buildings, Blaudow said that I U P U I ’s system had kicked into overdrive this summer, as in other schools all over the coun
try.
W hile he does not believe that the drought has had an impact

F re d Lenmertz. J r.
A ts is la itt D ire c to r f o r ( , rounds on I U P U I as a whale, Blaudow acknowledged a change in the summer routine — his crew has discontinued watering the grounds this summer.
“W e stopped watering when the mayor asked us to, and then a few weeks later [June 30) the governor asked all state institu
tions to stop watering their law ns to set an example for the general public,” he explained.
According to Albert Shipe, ser
vice hydrologist for the National W eather Service, water conser
vation is still necessary, even though the rains have brought
some relief to Indiana land.
“The ground levels o f water in Central Indiana are still very low, as are the reservoirs," he said. "Eagle Creek has nsen only six inches since the rain be
gan, so we will need to be care flil about watering lawns."
Total precipitation in the In dianapolis area for May and June combined was 1.42 inches, 6 23 inches below normal for those months A s of July 26, to
tal precipitation for July was 3.66 inches, about one-tenth of an inch above normal. For the year, over six inches leas precip
itation fell on central Indiana than normal.
Because the extent of the drought’s damage remains to be seen, Blaudow could not foresee the expense o f replacement and/or repair o f sod or trees on the grounds
Agreeing with Blaudow, Fred Lennarts, Jr., assistant director for grounds, likewise pleaded the fifth

Morrison's looking at changes
Continued from P a g * 1 iom * areas they won’t Wave campus until mid- to late- August.
William s, who is conducting ths negotiations with M or
rison's, said that the manual food service plans for the south
east quadrant of the campus, which in dudss Cavanaugh Hall, the University Library, the Lec
ture Hall, and the Busi- nese/SPEA and Education/Social W ork buildings, are still being di ecu seed.
T h e southeast quadrant has the highest concentration o f stu
dents but, at the same time, the tightest constraints on space usage,* W illiam s said.
W illiam s said that the transi
tion process for the vending ser
vices, which has already been formally agreed to end is not part of the ongoing discussions, should begin by Aug. 8 and be completed by no later than Aug.
22.
The agreements regarding the Union Building Cafeteria and The Minuteman Deli in the Union Building have also a l
ready been finalized and are not under negotiation.
"M odern will be totally out and Morrison’s will be totally in by Aug. 1 in those areas,* W il
liams said.
Estimated to be worth $20 m il
lion in gross revenues over the seven years it will be in place, the contract aw ards Morrison’s with all university food services
he transition o f the vending
‘T
services should be completed no later than Aug. 22.’
exclusive o f those areas associa
ted with the hospitals and the University Executive Confer
ence Center and Hotel.
Bids were taken for both the vending and m anual food ser
vices. O f the 39 requests for proposals mailed out to com
panies, six returned bids on the manual services and 11 bid for the vending contract.
Morrison’s w as by far the most profitable for the university.
"W e (M odern) made a very tight, tight, tight bid, and we couldn’t even come close to what they offered," said Nelson.
“They (M orrison’s) made a very good bid and they’re very interested in working with the university and establishing themselves in Indianapolis,*
said Williams.
M orrison’s has similar con
tracts with the University of Il
linois at Chicago, an urban, commuter university with a large medical center, and Vin
cennes University.
A1 Homme), district m anager for Morrison's Custom M anage
ment and the on-campus repre sentative for the company, said
that among the manual food ser
vice changes proposed for the southeast quadrant and subject to university approval are mobile hot dog and baked potato carts, and manual service in the basement o f Cavanaugh Hall
The hot dog carts around campus now are licensed by the city and cannot venture onto university property M om eon's proposal would allow them to put carts in high traffic areas on campus, such as the Library M all.
Hommel also said that prices will "remain what the university has specified.*
Both Hommel and W illiam s were complimentary of the job Modern has done while on campus.
Originally, the task force, which included student repre
sentatives, was to have recom
mended a new vendor in June, but the analysis o f the bids, some o f which were over two in
ches thick, took longer than ex
pected, W illiam s said.

Students, faculty need to consult on courses
A lthough over 16,000 students attended summer classes at IUPUI during this summer's two ses
sions. the largest summer enrollment of ar\y university in the state, many schools and departments offered a limited variety of summer courses.
To simply call for a greater range of course offerings would be unrealistic. Faculty must be available and secured to instruct the classes, student interest in the courses must be great enough to merit the offerings and financial considerations must be considered.
Responsibility-centered budgeting, a process IU President Thomas Ehrlich brought with hjm from the University of Pennsylvania that was implemented sys
temwide at IU July 1, now allows university schools to offer courses, no matter how expensive, that generate sufficient tuition funds to off-set operating costs.
Students and administrators alike need to understand and use to their advantage this more responsive system.
"It's at the point with budgeting that if we can sell the classes and sell the seats, we can offer the classes,"
said Registrar and Associate Dean for Student Affairs Richard Slocum.
School of Journalism Associate Dean James W.
Brown claims that not one student has entered his office in the last six years and requested more summer courses. The school has offered a total of seven summer classes from 1983 through 1988.
“If l had a petition signed by 20 students asking for a certain class during the summer, I'd work real hard to get it" Brown said. “I have no information about what stu
dents want.”
What students want in the way of courses is up to students to voice to their deans. Classmates who share a common desire for a course need to present their joint request to their dean, whether it be for courses in the summer, fall or spring.
Faculty advisors need to ask students not only what courses they plan to take, but what courses they would take if the courses were offered. Granted, counseling time is valuable, but students could fill out a survey after the appointment without sacrificing quality time.
This Is not to say that we think current schedules should be thrown to the wind in favor of the whims of surveyed students. The university does a commendable job of trying to accommodate students by scheduling not only day and evening classes but Saturday and Sunday ones as well.
Finding qualified instructors who are willing to teach, especially during the summer, and finding available classroom space, especially during the fail and spring, will still be factors in deciding course offerings, but with increased communication the schools can offer some additional courses in response to what the students want to take.
By testing the market, we believe a school or depart
ment, depending on size, might add anywhere from one class a year to two or three each semester in which a sufficient number of students have expressed an inter
est. With the new budgeting process, it is in the schools' self-interest to supply what the market demands.

Mutx reiterated his stated campaign promise not to raise the personal, sales or corporate sales tax, and said that some o f the Hooeier state's $243.2 m il
lion surplus could be spent as drought relief, should federal help prove inadequate. .
Secretary o f State Evan Bayh took the floor following an inter
mission, stressing the impor
tance o f risk-taking, "even i f it means an occasional failure."
"It's so easy to sit behind the desk in the statehouse... we have a need for action," he added. Bayh spoke rapidly and energetically about a leader’s ability to transcend divisions, act with courage and “do what is right, what is best.*
Asked to respond to the charge that he lacked sufficient experi
ence for the governor’s spot, Bayh countered with a reference to President Reagan’s former career as California governor, stating, “He had not held office a single day" before assuming state duties. Bayh added that he considered the position o f Secre
tary o f State to be an important test, and said that during his one-and-a-half-year tenure the budget had been cut 5 perv cent while staffing underwent a^2t) per cent reduction.
As Mute did, Bayh promised that education would be top priority in his administration, stating that being aggressive and mounting ad campaigns

tional reform.
Bayh mentioned “eliminating waste and fat" as priorities, and spoke out against the privatiza
tion o f some services traditional
ly provided through the govern
ment, such as the incarceration o f convicted criminals.
He is also opposed to govern
ment entering the private sec- ' tor. “ I believe governments should do what governments are good at doing — and that’s not entering the private sector," he tolS the crowd, which included a number o f representatives from the Indianapolis business com
munity.
Asked to tell about another .role model instrumental in his

life, Bayh chose to relate the stoiy o f his mother, Marvella Bayh, and her battle with cancer while attempting to bring mean
ing to her last few months o f life by “ demonstrating courage and conviction, and trying to make the world a better phace for hav
ing been here."
In an interview immediately following his speech, Bayh isola
ted keeping talented graduates in Indiana as an important problem, and spoke o f the neces
sity o f “reaching out to kids ear
ly on, making education a more highly valued attribute."
Asked for a campaign promise college students could hold him to, Bayh flashed a quick nrnile and replied, “How about a new library for
