Cavanaugh Hall slated for sm oke-free status
■ Cavanaugh Hall, along with the Lecture Hall and the Mary Cable building, will be designated as non
smoking areas beginning spring semester.
By Darin Crone
“No Smoking" will soon be the sign of the times in Cavanaugh Hall.
Cavanaugh, along with the Lecture Hall and the Mary Cable building, have been slated to go non-smoking by the beginning of Spring semester, said Don Schultheis, assistant dean in the School of Liberal Arts and Cavanaugh Hall building manager.
‘T he trend in society is to eliminate the exposure of second hand smoke."
said Richard Strong, manager of the Department of Health and Environmental Safety. The Liberal Arts faculty, assembly voted to make Cavanaugh non-smoking at its faculty assembly meeting on Nov. 9.
The three buildings will be made non-smoking by Jan. 7 - making the Law School and the Herron School of An the only buildings on campus in which smoking is still allowed.
‘T he main reason we are doing this is to promote health," Schulteis said
The issue of banning smoking in campus buildings has been going on for at least three years, said Strong.

Prevention, reporting of crime focus
■ Through the Campus Watch program, students can help report crime.
By Jim Hunt . .
• -________________
There are 40,000 sett of eyes and ears on campus that can look out for criminal activity.
And Lt. Bob True hopes that students and staff will do exactly that
— through the campus Crime Watch
"Potentially, everyone who walks onto campus can be our eyes and cars," said True, chief of special projects for RJPD.
Campus Watch is a program which combines several crime prevention efforts used daily by campus police.
••Campus Watch simply means a cooperative effort between the police, students, faculty and IUPUI employees to prevent crime and report problems,” the lieutenant said.
•That’s where the ’eyes and ears*
philosophy comes into play,” he said.
If anyone on campus secs or to stop and think — then its time to call the police.
T ’m not talking about major crimes like murder, robbery or rape,” he said.
T mean anything that causes a person to pause and ask, ’Is this rightT"
True said nothing irritates him more than finding out about a potential crime through third and fourth parties.
‘*Wc want to do our job. We have
smoke circulating through the ventilation system and into his office "
Strong said. "Once that happened, the movement got started."
Administrators of the buildings come to the conclusion to make the buildings non-smoking, he added.
Students who spend their time in the lounge say they don't agree with making Cavanaugh Hall 'non
smoking, but will obey the rule.
T 'll be spending less time on campus and more time or home," said Bill Schneider, a senior in Liberal Arts.
Schneider said he spends between 20 and 25 hours in the lounge each week. While in the lounge, he enjoys a soft drink and a cigarette while studying between classes.
"It is the way societal standards are progressing toward a smoke-free environment," he said. "I undcrMiind the reasons behind it (making Cavanaugh Hall non-smoking) but it will inconvenience u s"
Patti Vennemann. a senior majoring in the School of Business, said there ought to be someplace for smokers to go.
T f s probably fair because more and more places are going non-smoking, but it seems there ought to be someplace to sit and study on campus and smoke a cigarette " Vennemann said.
While Schneider and Vennemann said they will spend less tim e.on campus because of the smoking ban, Deanna Privetie, a graduate student in the School of Education, said making Cavanaugh non-smoking is a good

Trafford says the university must

S * early in the meeting.______________________________________________ Representatives of several student groups, some carrying signs calling attention to their space problems, questioned Trafford and other student leaders as well as Dr. Herman Blake, vice-chancellor o f undergraduate education, about plans for converting the current library into a student center.
Blake described the administration’s current plan.
"We anticipate that this facility, as a library, will be vacated sometime toward the middle or latter port of 1993 as the new library is co m p le te d B la k e said.

Judging from the comments made at last Wednesday's Undergraduate Student Assembly town meeting, some students on campus are involved in a space race.
T hat's space, as in office space, meeting space, studying space and recreational spocc. In other words, the space in the proposed student center.
And those students want to know what the university

■ North Central Association recommends ten-year accreditation in its preliminary report.
By Darin Crone 71/Sagamore
North Central Association educators left last week recommending that IUPUI receive the longest period of accreditation possible - ten yean.
"Overall, the visit went very w ell"
said Carol Nathan, associate dean of the faculties, who supervised the visit^
•*We owe a lot of thanks iodine students, faculty and staff who gave their time to prepare for the visit."
The accreditation team, which is composed of educators from schools across the Midwest, visited the campus last week to assess the university.
A preliminary report, given to the university last Wednesday, outlined the strengths, concerns and gib e some advice to the administration.
Gerald Bepko. IUPUI chancellor, said he wasn’t surprised by the concerns and adv ice the team had in its preliminary report.
‘T he items identified as areas of concern were issues that were already on our agenda." he said.
Students had a chance to voice their concerns with the team last Tuesday
Most of the concern by the students present centered on a student union.
"Part of my concern is that only part of the library is going to be committed to a student center." said Brian Beaman, student chairperson on the senate committee for a student center.
William Halloran. dean from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukce and team chairman said a student center is vital to a university .
"A student center represents a place for which students get to know each other and eventually recall it as the core of thetr university experience." he said.
He added students should be happy with the fact that $400,000 has been raised for the center while .fees have
*«.i.ained low.
The NCA team’s final report will be sent to the university administration in January-

USA wants involvement in student center struggle
■ Students want to have a hand in decision about meeting space.
By P am ela B a re n n ss Tki Salm on
Last Wednesday’s meeting of the
Slocum was unable to answer questions by the assembly on how much space would be allocated to theU E C
Another question that could not be answered conclusively was
mirrored the discussion which took place at the town meeting earlier in Jheday.
Both o f them featured concerned students with questions about needed space for student activities,
Richard Slocum, associate dean for student affairs, spoke to assembly members present on plans for the proposed student center.
But the discussion quickly became a forum for confusion.
Students questioned admin
istrator’s intentions for the student center and the assembly’s involvement with the planning.
“One thing is official.” said Slocum. “The old library will house the student center. Vice- Chancellor Blake has committed to this.”
“All the rumors - from the Office of the Bursar, financial aid office or a bookstore also being housed (in the student center) - are unfounded;* Slocum added. “Only the Undergraduate Education Center (UEC) will share space with
in the old library would be an interim situation or permanent.
“My understanding is that the student center will be housed in the library until another center can be built,” said Slocum, “At that time, the old library will become the permanent home of the UEC.”
The frustration over the misunderstandings reached a pinnacle when TeNaj McFadden.
secretary of the USA Executive Committee, went so far as to ask the dean his purpose for addressing the assembly.
“I’m confused,” McFadden said.
“What are you here to tell us?
What are you trying to convey to u$ here tonight? “
McFadden joined the other assembly members in asking the administration to present its intentions in writing, eliminating the past confusion.
••You (the assembly) created the urgency,” said Slocum. ”If you hadn’t come to us voicing your concents and expressing your frustration about the student center.
I’m sure it would tkve been done anyway, but this has helped speed things up.’’

building to make a Mudent-oriented facility, sometime*
called a student center ”
Some at the meeting were Mill not sure if this decision was final. Blake confirmed later ihat most of the space in the library, once it is vacated, wilt be utilized as a student center.
What is left to he determined is exactly how much space will be available to students and Mudent organizations and what particular form the center will take. Blake said there are plans now to move the UEC to the building as well.
Trafford called for more Mudent involvement in the decision making process.
‘T his h a very important issue. If you don’t believe me.
just don’t get involved and you’ll see it. This building is sitting in shark-infested waters and the administrators are the sharks.” TrufTord told the group.
“Everybody wants part of it. You’re cither going to let them have it or you’re going to fighf to keep what has been promised and pledged to you,” he said.
t Blake told the audience that student input will be considered.
“In terms of developing a plan to figure out how to use this space, we will be working very closely with President Trafford and the student government ’
Representatives of Mudent organizations continued to focus on their need for permanent, visible space if their groups are to grow.
“What the problem here is that the students don’t feel a connection to IUPUI. we conic here and we leave ” said Uzma Unus, member of the Muslim Student Association.
“There’s nothing to help build an> sort of school connection. Wc don’t have anywhere to meet. We don’t have anywhere to go.”
Amy Griesenier. provident of the IUPUI Pan-Hellenic Council, an organization of sorority members, detailed the frustrations involved in planning group activities and conducting group business without a permanent meeting place.
“It takes us forever to find a room. We hove to fill out papers after papers and wc have to do this a semester in advance. We need a room to put our Muff in, wc carry it back and forth to campus in our cars. All they’ve given us is a small locker.” she said.
Unus believes these issues are not only important in the present, but arc crucial to the future as well
“If this adminiMralion wants to make us feel some sort of connection to the school they need to give u& certain things.
“One of the things they need to give us is a place where we can start building rapport with the campus and building rapport with other students. Then we’ll have students who leave and who feel a connection, who feel an obligation to IUPUI many years later.” she said.
The next scheduled town meeting will take place on Wednesday. Dec. 9 at 12:15 pm in the basement of the library.

“Being I am a non-smoker, I feel it’s best because I don’t want to be exposed to second hand smoke,” she said.
“I lend to stay away from places where smoking occurs.” she added
Strong said he doesn’t see any problems with people complying with the new rule.
“There’s always a little bit o f resistance in the beginning." he said.
Gerald Bcpko. IUPUI chancellor, said making Cavanaugh Hall non
smoking is a good idea
“While I’m very concerned about smokers rights, for the population as a whole, smoking is bad,” Bcpko said
“We have taken good steps to insure non-smokers views.”
Students wanting to smoke and study should go to the food court, said

Citizen repons provide a deterrent to criminal activity for university police officers, said Dennis Soliday. a 22- y *ar vcieran w ith the university police department.
A big problem reporting crime at 1UPUI is students say they feel stupid calling the police especially if it turns oat to he nothing.” Soliday said.
"Don't ever feel stupid.*' Soliday offered some tips to suspect possible criminals.
"If you see people cruising around the parking lots and they aren't cany ing a book hag or just look out of place, that's the time to call ” he said.
Soliday said the library is a favorite place for stealing purses and wallets.
True cited the department's most popular example of delayed crime reporting.
According to True, about two years ago a student was being harassed by an individual who would wait for the student to arrive and then throw a

He said since IUPU1 is a "commuter campus” students tend go straight to class and then straight home.
"We have a lot of people with severe cases ol tunnel vision.” said True. "All we ask b contact us some way and we'll respond or ensure the appro
priate agency Is informed of the problem."

True said any problem should be reported to the police department.
"We have a very good radio system, as well as 41 direct phone lines all over campus for students to contact us,” he said. One can also call the department punching in COPS or 2677. Any IUPUI employee carrying * a radio can call the police, also.
A popular service is the police and security escort program. Safety escorts provide safe transportation to cars parked in the campus* many parking lots. Contact the service by calling 274-SAFE (274-233).

The student did what he figured was the right thing. The next time the acid thrower approached his cor. he pulled out a small caliber handgun and opened fire. Fortunately, no one was hit. The student left before police arrived.
After the scene was secured, two students were questioned when they returned to their cars. Police found that both knew details of the incident, but decided to attend class instead of making a report.

the L ibrary
■ The librarystaff is commended for their efforts, but The Sagamore believes a few structural changes are needed
U
niversity Library can be a very intimidating place to a student not familiar with the various resources available for research.Fortunately, The Sagamore believes students tackling a research paper have one major advantage in their favor, the friendly consultants in University Library who always appear ready to help.
The Sagamore would like to commend the efforts o f the personnel employed by the library for the commitment they have demonstrated to students at IUPUI.
At the same time, we would like to note a few problems that we believe the university has the opportunity to improve.
Members o f The Sagamore have been extremely impressed with the time and energy that the University Library staff' has dedicated to students and hopes this tradition o f excellence will continue in the new library. On a hectic and bustling campus, it can often be hard to offer service with a smile.
However, we do have a few concerns that we believe the university should address.
■ University Library needs a study/lounge area for smokers because most o f the surrounding buildings do not accommodate
sihokers. There is a greater need for a building that accommodates smokers since the Liberal A m Faculty Assembly voted to make Cavanaugh Hall, Lecture Hall and the Mary Cable Building non
smoking buildings.
■ The library needs to be open for a longer period o f time. The library is currently only open to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday and 8 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The majority o f students may not live on campus, but that doesn't change the student's prerogative to study after 10 p.m.
during the week and after 8 p.m. on the weekend.
■ There is also a need for more group study rooms and we hope the new, larger facilities will better accommodate this need. The campus offers few quiet study areas for small groups o f studeots.
■ The library also needs to increase the number o f books in circulation. It can be extremely aggravating to find that the books you need are at every other campus but this one. In some areas o f study, such as African American Studies, students must travel to the Bloomington campus to find adequate resources for researching papers and projects.

O ur F uture leader
M Voters wisely chose a leader capable of making
I
n the end. maybe, it wasn’t the economy, or jobs, or the deficit, though those issues weighed heavily on voters' minds.Perhaps more than anything else, Bill Clinton's victory was simply a desire for change, a desire to look ahead rather than back.
George Bush reminded voters ceaselessly of his record as a Navy pilot in World War II, but Clinton will become the first president bom after the war ended.
It's ironic that Bush, who coined the -phrase "New World Order," lost in a
large part because he was so much a man of the old order. The torch has passed, to quote John F. Kennedy. The generation that grew up carrying signs through the civil rights movements of the 1950s and '60s and the Vietnam protests o f the '70s is now in charge.
And Clinton richly deserves his victory. Going all the way back to the primaries, he was the candidate who most acted, well, presidential. While his opponents tried to drag him into the mud. first by questioning his personal life and then by questioning his patriotism. Clinton doggedly stuck to his themes: the need for chang and,the need to get the economy moving.
Clinton promised a vast public works program, getting the economy moving by investing in transportation and communications. But he didn't dwell
much on the painful choices that will have to be made. Now he'll have to face them.
Yet no one should expect the new president to turn the country around overnight. For now. it's enough that in Bill Clinton we have a president who seems to understand the problems of ordinary people - problems like finding decent jobs, sending their children to decent schools. We have, in short, a president who offers what many people have lost: hope for the future.
That's something George Bush couldn't do. In a year in which millions of people are out of work and millions more are afraid they might soon be, Bush could barely admit out loud that the country was in recession. That w u a fatal flaw, for in other ways Bush served well. Above all, he maintained a steadying influence while the Soviet Union was falling apart.
Voters owe some thanks also to Ross Perot. For all his eccentricities, Perot focused his campaign and the nation's attention on the No. 1 problem: the deficit.
The political positioning has started already: last night Senate Republican leader Robert Dole of Kansas spoke not o f coming together with the new president, but of forging a coalition with Perot supporters to oppose him.
Perot had a better idea. Clinton won.
he told his supporters. Work with him for the good of the nation.
Clinton w on't have all the answers.
There will be plenty of legitimate fights

students comes in the form o f ’teaching assistantshins";
an additional 38 percent is available for "research assistantships."
When economic coercion fails, an increasing number o f universities resort to making a certain number of semesters or quarters of teaching a requirement for the doctoral degree
The problem with all this is that teaching, even badly done, takes much preparation and lime, and the time a graduate student spends rip-offs in America, they are remarkably
silent. And perhaps for good reason, for If they speak out and protest, they are all too vulnerable to retaliation from faculty and administrators.
The victims of the rip-off are the undergraduates, especially freshmen and sophomores, the ones who are often taught and graded by other students — teaching assistants, as they are

enrolled, the reality they find in the classroom is not exactly what the catalog describes. These hopeful, expectant young men and women all too often find not a professor standing in front of them but a graduate student (sometimes an undergraduate student).
While these pseudo-professors rarely lecture in the large halls.
We worry about dropout rates of 12 or 15 percent in our high schools. The dropout rate today for our doctoral degree candidates, many of the brightest young men and women in this country, is 50 percent, with most of them dropping out after spending five, six, seven or more yean in pursuit of the Ph D.

The bottom line is a cheapened degree. As long as few people Some politicians have called for putting God back in the catch on to the fact that university students are taught and graded to classroom.

The Circle yearbook order forms clearly state that we anticipated a late October delivery date for '92 yearbooks. As a member of the student assembly I would have expected David Carlisle to know that The Circle yearbook is a student-run organization. Or at the very least to have asked about the book through the adviser, the student activities office, or the Dean of Student Affairs' office.
The Circle now exists due to the generous efforts of volunteers who are also students and must work other jobs to make ends meet. We cannot adhere volunteer staff members to a nine to five schedule. Carlisle told The Circle adviser, after his editorial appeared in print, that he had called the The Circle office a number o f times and left a couple messages. But he failed to mention in his column that he hung-up a number of times when he got the answering machine. I

did get a hostile message though, when I heard he considered The Circle a
"university rip-off' and I was so angry l decided to cool off before responding. My adviser told me we would refund Carlisle's
$26 immediately, and then on Monday we read his tirade in The Sagamore
After the former editor-in-chief formally resigned in January, I caught the ball and have been running on one leg with a tiny staff since. Thanks to the cooperation of this university and its athletic department, things have pulled together and the book is now at the printer. We are anticipating that the book will be delivered with a two- month delay from the original plan.
We ore contacting the students who purchased the book by letter and have been returning calls to the office when people leave a message.
1 resent Carlisle's sarcasm in referring to The Circle staff as "fine, young students." I am 30 y ean old and consider myself no better than anyone else at this school, except I check the facts before I run screaming "wolf* to the media. As for referring to our push for sales at the Ice
Cream Social, a person who buys a yearbook is not a victim. A victim is someone who puts blood, sweat, and tears into a yearbook only to have it humiliated in print by Carlisle. The entire tone of Carlisle's letter implies that the book does not exist and that it is a scam on the part of the university and will never materialize. To that, I can only say Carlisle is wrong.
Apparently a volunteer photographer did give Carlisle misinformation about the expected delivery date for the book. For this. The Circle apologizes, and in retrospect we should have run an ad in The Sagamore stating that the book would be late. However. The Sagamore did mention in the Orientation Issue that The Circle would not be available until November.
Nobody is more sorry than I that the book is not on time, but I am proud of the book.
It is terrific and a marvel considering our small staff and the number of problems a commuter campus has. I regret the fact that Carlisle will miss out in not having a

Marianne Collar, the squad's 5 foot 11 inch !*ntor spiker, said the team has a tendency to lower their menial and physical level of playing when up against a lesser opponent, and that may he one reason for the Metros falling off their mark during the second game.

Soccer team ends fall season by losing to D istrict 21 opponent, Taylor University
■ Coach Allen Egilme2 said injuries to key players contributed to poor season as well as team’s lack of enthusiasm.

Nov. 3 was the final day of the fall season for the men's soccer team.
Taylor University defeated (he Metros in (he first round of the district 21 Tournament, by a score of 2-0. Taylor went on to win the tournament.
The Metros had heal Taylor in regular season play, but they just didn't have what it took thb time, said Allen Egilmez, soccer coach.
Egilmez said the defense reacted to Taylor's offense, rather than anticipating their moves. He also said (hat the offense was not up to their regular level of play.
“We got heal by a team (Taylor) that wanted to win more than we did " said Greg Davidson, senior player for the Metros.
The team was plagued by injuries the entire season, which is one of the main reasons fiff Sheir lack of performance, Egilmez said.
With only an 18-player rosier, five or sis injuries moke it
hard to have a strong starting line-up, he added.
*1 think we were plagued by injuries, and 1 think since we had so many injuries we were never able to gel as a team, especially with a different starting line-up each game " Davidson said.
The coach said that he plans to make some changes next season., the first of which b to increase the roster lo 22 and possibly 24 players.
"1 want to increase the roster to give the players the incentive to compete for starting positions and playing time,** Egilmez said.
He also said that he is going to have the players practice their basic skills and fundamentals, os well as going through much more physical conditioning for next season.
