McBride responded that the point system was

"When I entered the program 1 was told I had a place in their nursing major, then after I completed 30 hours of classes they tell me I'm not guaranteed anything." Sudduth said.

The students believe the administration had to be aware of their intentions from the start since their records have been kept at the School of Nursing and they have been advised by nursing counselors.

‘They (IUPUI) re-did the program and it caught the eye of older students, but they didn’t change the criteria.” Thomas explained.

'T he point system was a joke. But they went from bad to worse with the GPA system. It’s like playing basketball and changing the rules in the middle of the game," she said.

Speaker discusses human rights

■ Bernadette Devlin McAliskey, an internationally renowned activist, lectured on social issues concerning American citizens.

By G reg Bic k ers Tkr Sogmon

Before a capacity crowd in the IUPUI lecture hall Tuesday Nov. 4th. Bernadette Devlin McAliskey eschewed the British government for its human rights violations while embracing the belief that all warring factions in the sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland initiate a negotiated resolution.

By calling for a negotiated peace in Northern Ireland, McAliskey. renowned political activist, lined up with other Irish Republican Army sympathizers, to support the latest peace initiative for Northern Ireland. John Hume, a member of the British parliament, leads the moderate Social Labor and Democratic party.

The peace initiative proposed that Sinn Fein, the political wing of the IRA, participate in negotiations.

However, McAliskey asserting that social justice must begin with human rights, said that Americans assume the existence of human rights. She described her daily activities as a continuous fact-finding mission to document violations o f human rights

She said her work for 23 years has been to eradicate atrocities against human beings which are oftentimes conducted at the behest of recognized governments.

Although espousing support of individual ownership of productive means, McAliskey described herself as a socialist, and therefore was opposed to great wealth held by some in the presence of great poverty.

She described socialism as an economic concept which in the United States is misconstrued as a political view. Money is the central core o f a capitalist society. But money, under a socialist banner, as simply a commodity for economic trade, McAliskey said.

The keynote theme of McAliskey's address postulated that a government must demonstrate a respect for the fundamental human rights of its citizens to assume legitimacy.

Fundamental human rights, according to McGowsky, are inherent because we exist.

McAliskey said that Amnesty International.

Helsinki Watch and other agencies had documented numerous human rights violations, which occur daily, by the British She said, "America has two images o r Ireland: that we are a country of Catholics and Protestants who can't live together and a country of violence."

Sight StYlng Facto on.., Sunglm tt;

W h y wear sunglasses...

Sunglasses are helpful in protecting against the sun’s damaging rays.

Sunglasses should reduce glare, filter out the majority of ultraviolet (U V ) light, provide visual protection as well as comfort and minimize color distortion.

S un's rays...

T h e sun transmits visible blue and visible violet rays, as well as U V rays which are undetected by the naked eye.

T h e U V rays pose the most potential for

About U V light...

A n Important consideration when purchasing sunglasses is the light transmission factor. It is recommended that lenses should not transmit more than 30 percent of visible light In areas where light is intense, as little as 10 to 15 percent transmission is preferred. Manufacturers frequently attach a tag to sunglasses stating the transmission factor.

Color of lenses...

Neutral gray or "smoke* lenses provide the best color perception. Other good choices for lenses are brown or green tints.

Quality of lenses...

Poorly made glasses will not dam age the structure of your eyes, but flaws and distortion m ay cause your eyes to work

schools, focusing campus missions and assessing needs for capital facilities.

Gerald Bepko followed I red land and gave his Chancellor’s report.

The memorandum discussed the review committee’s findings in its policy-mandated administrative review of four faculty organizations.

The first was of H. William Gilmore, dean of the IU School of Dentistry. Bepko’s report said the committee found Gilmore to have

“extraordinary vision for the future needs of the dental profession and dental education, but that Mime of his constituents fell Gilmore needed to “improve some o f his communication skills.”

Timothy L. Langston, dean of student affairs, was the subject of the second review.

The committee was impressed by the number of comments given by faculty, administrators and students at large, attesting to Langston's

“ability to work with students in a mentoring capacity." Bepko’s report said.

The committee further noted Langston has “a low-key leadership style and does not appear to be uncomfortable in taking an aggressive or confrontational stance."

The third review was of Norman Lefsjein. dean of the IU School of Law at Indianapolis.

The committee findings about Lefstein said "Dean Lcfstein has been an excellent dean for the law school and promises to be an excellent dean in the future,"

Bepko’s memo explained.

But the committee discovered

"some general faculty criticism"

about Dean Lefstein.

William Voos, dean of the IU Herron Art School, who will retire at the end of the 1994-95 academic

year, was the subject of the committee's fourth review.

Bepko* s memo stated that the committee's review cited' some r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s . T h e s e recommendations included increased resources and support for Herron faculty and further development of a Herron mission statement, that reflect both the strengths and weaknesses of Dean V ow 's performance.

Bepko added that the dean of medicine was also reviewed and results will soon be released to the council.

#AKo during the meeting, council representatives took action against the suggestion of the faculty affaire committee, and voted to send their support of a merge of the faculty committees on promotion and tenure to the faculty constitution by-laws committee, but did not officially vote to accept the merger.

Sparked by Richard Peterson, unit representative from the School of Medicine, discussion also arose about faculty members lacking

"ownership" of the campus mission statement.

He felt faculty members should be involved in writing the statement so they can feel it is their mission as well.

At the meeting's close. Mary Gilchrist, associate professor of elementary education, introduced the Fresh Stan issue to the council.

The forgiveness policy, as presented at the meeting, would allow only students who have been away from the IU system for more than five years to return to IUPUI and again pursue an undergraduate degree.

Fredland said Gilchrist will now revamp the program to accommodate Purdue students, if it is accepted.

■The Nov. 4 faculty council meeting discussed committee reviews of four IUPUI faculty members.

A mdment of silence and the reading of a memorial resolution for the late Roben V. Kirch, retired IUPUI political science department chairperson and professor emeritus, began the monthly IUPUI faculty council meeting on Nov. 4.

In his report. Richard Fredland.

president of the faculty council, encouraged faculty members to increase and better proportion their participation in faculty committees.

Fredland said “it's the same people all the time" who sign up for committees.

He also announced that three amendments were passed by the faculty which added to the council’s constitution. The first being that 50 voting faculty members may mandate a referendum concerning Council action.

In addition there will be at least one meeting of the entire voting faculty during the academic year and 100 voting faculty members shall constitute a quorum for a faculty meeting.

Fredland mentioned the Indiana Commission on Higher Education has recently introduced six new task forces geared at improving statewide public college education.

The task forces will be geared towards enrolling additional Indiana residents, increasing campus activity, exploring funding alternatives, improving relations between universities and secondary

Funds collected to heighten standards of Med Center

■ A fund drive of $130 million has been initiated for revamping facilities.

By Q rcg B lc k tn

The IU School of Medicine has initiated a $130 million fund drive to become a federally designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, augment the scholarship fund and pursue research initiatives to sustain prominence as the second largest medical school in the country.

Approximately $52 million has been pledged or received, according to i.

David Smith, director of the Office of Development for the IU School of Medicine. These gifts will support new construction, endowments and research on the IU Medical school The nutfor gifts donated were: Eli Lilly Company and Eli Lilly and Company Foundation for $7 million;

the James Whitcomb Riley Memorial Association for $12.1 million; the Delaney Trust, a private charitable foundation in Evanston, Illinois for $3 million in response to a challenge grant from the federal government.

Smith said the Delaney Trust gift

because of a dearth o f scholarship funding.

This brain drain primarily results from comparatively low scholarship rates. Currently, scholarships cover only two percent of the costs associated with attending, IU Medical

School. '

An increase to 20 to 25 percent scholarship coverage for medical school scholarships would retard the evaporation of medical candidates.

Smith emphasised that the completion of medical school presents a physician with an enormous debt if he attends IU is as much as $30,000.

If he attends a competing medical school in the midwest and had received a comparative scholarship, that student will face the specter of owing approximately $2,000.

MWe are losing a valuable resource, our best and brightest, which only exacerbates the maldistribution problem for the state,’4 said Smith

He added that although there is a current emphasis on encouraging primary cart physician practice, it is difficult for new physicians to pursue family practice, considering the comparatively lower remuneration relative to earnings for a physician who is a specialist.

A debt accrues from medical school because of a lack of adequate scholarship funding forces a physician to make a difficult economic decision, according to Smith.

The cost to operate the Medical School is $300 million. Only 20 percent, or $60 million, is provided by

that the medical school acheives the goals of the fund drive.

The committee concluded that the aspirations envisioned for the medical school were unobtainable in the absence of philanthropic funding.

The seed group set about to determine the feasibility and philanthropic interest for funding capital improvements, scholarship increases, expanded research

programs and department

“We met with representatives and individuals from the corporate and private sector,” said Smith.

When the support became apparent, 50 representatives were recruited and brought together to begin fond raising.

According to Smith, to conduct the top cancer research specialists from throughout the country, the IU Cancer Center must have state of the art equipment, a sophisticated laboratory and support the scholarly research activities of the physicians who have been recruited.

The IU School of Medicine has increased its faculty endowment by

$20 million over the past seven years.

Smith said that current plans will allocate $45 million for faculty the medical library fond.

According to Julie M. Walsh, senior associate director from the Capital Campaign Office, the two new buildings will provide the necessary physical plant for obtaining designation as a Comprehensive Cancer Center. There are currently only 28 in the country, including three in the midwest, none of which are located in Indiana.

Walsh said that the IU School of Medicine has been awarded a three year gram to fond planning to enable the medical school to apply for a core grant application, which brings a significant amount of federal money.

Following an on-sight inspection by the National Cancer Institute and approval as a cancer center, application can be made fo r.th e designation of a Comprehensive Cancer Center which is awarded by the N O ,” said Walsh.

W H O ’S IN CHARG E?

■ How the Board of Regents have become the Board of Education at some universities across the country

H

ere’s a sobering thought for those o f you w ho believe higher education should be guided by a single board:

W hat i f the B oard o f Regents had the task?

The Regents are supposed to set the tone for higher education - establishing guidelines for what should be a chieved T hat’s accom plished through development o f a m aster plan.

The board also approves budget requests o f the various universities and sends the final

recommendation to the Legislature.

But. other boards m anage the day-to-day activities o f the universities and can easily get around any limiting budget recom m endation o f the R egents by going directly to the Legislature.

As for the m aster plan, the Regents have been working o n that fo r nearly 17 years.

W ith the managem ent boards and individual universities in com petition for dollars, trying to save programs that have little merit and directly lobbying legislators,' higher education is somewhat chaotic to say the least.

T hat’s why a num ber o f legislators pushed for the single board co nc ept T hat’s why a federal district judge ruled that the present system should be abolished and that one super board govern the whole thing. j.- u - , - * " , , , ,

■ His ruling was appealed and the issue remains in the c o u rt

The idea is for the board to have a physical m akeup like the Regents appointed by the governor to serve staggered term s. That way, some board m em bers appointed by one administration will serve in the new adm inistration to give som e checks and balances.

W hoa! Just look at the Board o f Regents. Attend one o f its m eetings and you leave with sweaty palms thinking about such a panel in charge o f every aspect o f higher

The staggered term system isn’t working. T he Regents have shown us painfully that they are more interested in politics than in

W hat you have is an even split between those appointed by former Governor R oem er and the new er ones appointed by Governor Edwards. In the 16-member board, nine voles are needed to get som ething done.

Little gets done.

The Roem eristas are busy trying to run the show while the

Edward!tes are just as busy dying to do the sam e thing.

It's obvious that the present board d oesn't even know the simple rules that govern a business meeting - how to handle motions to do this o r that, how to vote on those motions; how to handle a substitute motion and so oo. W e’re talking about ju st simple parliamentary rules that should be easily grasped by any person appointed by a governor to an education board.

At any given board meeting, the members argue for an hour at a time o ver how they should proceed with a vote, how they should go about the jo b o f getting som ething done.

Often they take three votes on the sam e thing w ith members com plaining they don’t know what they're voting on.

A t one point, the board hired a parliamentarian to sm ooth the way but later fired her. The dismissal was pushed by Edwards' backers G us M ijalis o f Shreveport and R oman Catholic priest John Keller o f New Orleans.

Keller had been the unofficial parliamentarian and apparently didn 't like the competition.

At the last meeting, he cou ldn 't explain the parliamentary rules to his colleagues and wound up calling them numbskulls. One m em ber said privately Keller

<jpul_dn't e^plain what Keller didn’t understand, t h a t m em ber had the grace not to call Keller names in public.

At any rate, all they do is squabble. The audience always includes a num ber o f university presidents w ho often shake their heads in am azem ent at th e proceedings.

If that super board ever materializes, it might be a good idea to let the board serve at the pleasure o f the sitting governor.

True, that gives the governor the power over higher education but the people w ho elected him o r her will know th a t The governor will know that the people know. T hat m ay lead the governor to choose b o w l m em bers carefully and allow education to run sm oothly - and allow the governor to be re-elected.

Just a thought from som eone who sits through R egents meetings and leaves with sweaty palms thinking about what would happen if those 16 mem bers had total control.

The 60 -Minute Solution

TOM FREERAIRN

■ No problem is too big for talk show television

E

very day, just before I leave for school, I make one last, desperate flip through thcchanncls to see if there is anything worth watching on television. There Isn’t. As it turns out, 10 a.m.

is the lime that the long parade of “talk shows” begins. It makes me very thankful that I have something better to do as I hear the opening teaser to the “Jeny Springer Show.” We all know how these teasers go (there is even a spin-off cottage industry among television and social critics o f making up absurd talk show topics - satirizing the already silly seems like a zero return game to me.)

The basic premise of the talk show is, “Hey, look America, you have all these horrible (and weird) problems and we are going to help you deal with them. If we should entertain and titillate you with them at the same time. It's not our fault, it's a sick society.”

Well, I agree. It is a sick society that plops itself down in front of the tube and fixates on the fringe of bizarre weirdos with entertaining problems. What is really sick is that we as a people do not appreciate just how lucky we are.

I have this vision o f a talk show host in Bangladesh, we will call him Jerry Muhammad. As I see it Jerry M. would have about three topics that would be o f any interest to his viewers:

I.) People who have drowned in monsoon Hooding and the people who loved them.

2.) People who have died of disease caused by people drowning in monsoon flooding and the people who loved them.

3.) People who starved to death because so many people died o f disease caused by people drowning in monsoon flooding and whoever is left.

America is the most self-involved nation in the history o f the world and while this makes us intrinsically shallow and petty, it also should give us reason to celebrate. We have it so good we have to go rooting around in the garbage to find problems to televise.

Sure, there is unemployment in America, but the talk show

explosion is cutting into that. It employs 400 to 500 hosts with no discernible talents who would otherwise be on 1 the dole. There is even a good old “trickle down” effect at work. All those hosts are supported by dozens o f well- paid staffers who sit around in conference rooms and tTy to figure out if it is too soon to do another show on men who cheat with their wives’ best friends (and the idiots who love them.)

Inequity in America? You bet. But, once again, the talk shows are part of the solution, not the problem. If you are a pervert, a victim (real or perceived), a UFO abductee or just too stupid to get out of a bad situation, then you will be on a talk show regardless o f ethnicity or creed. Is there pollution in America? Yes indeed. And the talk shows... well, they d on't do a darn thing to help that problem.

Take heart America, we have risen above the big problems facing most of the world and now we can focus on the strange, demented or merely trivial.

Or maybe, just maybe, we do have some real issues we need iq face. And the talk shows ore a convenient blind to help us avoid actually thinking about them.

Are large segments of our population fighting an uphill battle to achieve the American dream? Are our children getting educations that will fail to make them competitive in the national marketplace, let alone the global one? Are people going hungry in the richest agricultural nation in the world? Is racial tension at its highest since the 1960s? Are we abdicating our scientific and technical preeminence?

Maybe, but they only give you so much space to write a column, so 1 won't be able to explore these questions. See you next lime when I interview someone from Venus.

And now a word from our sponsors.

READERS’ VOICES

I Plater responds to criticism of quality of education in editorial with facts, plans for future.

I was pleased to read the challenging editorial in this week's Sagamore. It raises hard questions which should be asked by every student. If students do not care about the quality o f their education, then faculty may not either. Teaching is an interaction based on mutual responsibility and respect If expectations o f each other are high, then the quality o f education will be high also.

I am pleased to respond to the leading question: yes. administrators and faculty alike are listening to what students say. We agree that systematic student evaluation of teaching is an essential component of institutional and personal improvement.

Still, there are problems. With over 2,000 faculty, all of the incidents cited - and more - occur. I wish that every teacher followed all of the conventions at every moment, but there are lapses. Just as there are lapses among students in their class attendance, assignment completion, and participation. But in general, faculty work very hard to improve their teaching by asking for and listening to student opinion.

Through the Public Opinion Laboratory, we recently sampled 1,700 undergraduate students on a variety o f topics, with 51 percent responding. Ninety percent said they are satisfied with the overall quality of instruction. This seems to be a healthy indicator that we are doing all right. There

is plenty of room for improvement, but let's give ourselves - students and faculty alike - credit for an overall high level of quality in leaching and learning.

As noted, the faculty recently reaffirmed excellence as the standard to which we aspire in teaching. Faculty are not willing to settle for “satisfactory” or “fair” as our standard because few students pay tuition with the expectation o f just “getting by.” As a matter of mutual respect and self respect, we all aspire toward excellence, even if we don't always achieve it.

But where’s the proof? Before any full­

time faculty member is hired, the candidate must present clear evidence of teaching competence. For advancement in rank as well as tenure, all faculty must present documented evidence of satisfactory or higher performance in teaching - including evaluations by students.

What happens when a teacher performs at a less than satisfactory level? Most departments have counseling programs whereby experienced teachers help struggling colleagues improve. Also, the campus Office of Faculty Development offers a number o f services to help faculty improve their teaching. Dozens o f programs are offered.

Have poor teachers been dismissed? Yes.

If colleagues do not improve despite

warnings and interventions, appointments • are not renewed. Faculty take peer review \ seriously, and we are willing to act to remove colleagues when warranted. ] Regrettably, each year several faculty are \ not reappointed because they have not \ attained a level of satisfactory achievement Can we get better? Absolutely. A great ; deal can and will be done to improve and ; recognize effective teaching. We applaud ; the idea of identifying and celebrating • teaching excellence, though I would resist • the idea of a "top fifty” list. We think m ore than fifty should be acknowledged, and we are encouraging campus organizations to develop ways of recognizing excellence.

Accordingly. I am pleased to inform you that Chancellor Gerald Bepko and the IUPUI Faculty Council Executive Committee propose to invite the leaders of student government to join with them to address the issues raised. Specifically, the task force will be asked to consider how we can encourage and recognize excellence in teaching through greater student participation. The charge to the task force will be discussed with both the Faculty Council and w ith the leadership o f the student organizations.

The Metros soccer team won their second NAIA District 21 Championship under the direction of head coach Alien Egilmez, on Nov. 6.

The team was able to obfuscate district dominating Taylor University by a slim margin of 1-0.

‘The kids did a super job," Egilmez said. T t was a tough game—we couldn’t put them away. But they kept a positive attitude and believed in themselves."

The Metros also won the district title in 1991, finishing that season a record o f 14-6-1 compared to this seasons 9-12-2.

"We didn’t have that good of a record going into the playoffs," said junior Joe Buitron. ’W e kind of felt like we had to prove how good we really were."

Buitron went on to say the team didn’t really start clicking until the end of the season, when it counted

most, during districts.

Many of the Metro players felt their record was not totally representative of the teams potential.

However winning three games in a row to take the championship demonstrated their skills.

‘T his season wc never really played to potential until the playoffs." said junior Tim Caldwell,

"ending on a positive note."

The Metros shut out Grace College 3-0 in the first round. Goshen College 3-0 in the second round and Taylor University 1-0 to take the championship.

The team moved on to the Area VI semifinals last Wednesday, losing to Grand Rapids Baptist College 2-1.

‘The linesman made a horrible call and basically took the game away from us," Caldwell said.
