Professors question m eetings

■ Current IU presidential applicants have final say of having their names released.

It’s a zoo out there

i f r >

Indiana law doesn't mandate that university presidential searches be open, but a group of professors wish it did.

The IU chapter of the American Association o f University Professors, which represents about 200 Bloomington faculty, recently sent a letter to the IU presidential search committee requesting that the identities of the final three to five presidential nominees, which will be chosen by March 31, be made public.

*1 do feel that once we are down to a final list o f names, provided there is mote than one.

that it would be helpful to make those names available." said Mary Burgan, AAUP member, as quoted in the Indiana Dally Smdenl.

Harry Goo so. chairman o f the search committee, said he agrees with the AAUP and wishes the process could be open to the public.

But, he added, the choice to eventually be publicly identified will be up to individual

"We have spoken to about half a dozen applicants, and three or four have said they prefer not to be publicly recognized;* Gonso said.

‘W e may or may not publish the names at the end of this month; it will be up to applicants," he added

He added that if all the finalists agreed to the committee's release of their names the process would definitely become open. But if even one dissented, the process would "most likely remain closed," said Gonso.

Unlike Michigan, which has a law requiring all university presidential searches to operate in the public’s eye, Indiana has an open door law which does not require any search information to be public knowledge.

Gonso added that the search has been narrowed to "about 12"

The IU trustees will most likely begin making the final decision sometime at the beginning of April.

The committee met privately March 4.

How accountable is IUPUI to utxpaycn and the Indiana legislature for the funds it receives from state Across the country, people are complaining that college tuition costs are rising dramatically while the quality of teaching is going down.

Moreover, they are not willing to pay higher taxes to fond schools that do not provide their children with the education they need.

"University costs, especially things like tuition, have gone up astronomically in the past 10 years,"

said Richard Fredland, chairman of the IUPUI political science department "It’s not uncommon for tuition to be in the range of $20,000.

People are saying ‘Why does this have to cost so much?’ and ’Why aren’t ydu leaching more? "

IUPUI has embariced on a program ew all out just how efficiently its resources arc being used. One of the first areas review will be the

Team members are professors of political science Stephen Laemmle, University of Louisville; Philip Percy, University of Wisconsio-Milwaukee;

IUPUI professors Carlyn Johnson, School of Public and Environmental Affairs; David Bodenhamer, department of history; and Indiana Sen. Robert Girtorv R-Columbus.

One problem that Fredland sees is a general lack of understanding of how a university operates. He said that when people ask why teachers are not teaching more, they need to bear a few things in mind.

T h e re ’s a lot of preparation that goes into getting ready to go to class,"

Fredland said.

Another consideration is whether the public thinks teachers should be teaching at the expense of conducting research. Universities sometimes are criticized for allowing too many professors time to get articles and books published instead of requiring them to spend their time teaching.

On the other hand, Fredland said, people also judge the merits o f a university in terms o f how many articles and books professors have written.

T f you don’t want my colleagues to

write new textbooks, then you’ll have to leave the creation of knowledge to other people," Fredland said.

The Indiana legislature appropriated more that $148 million to IUPUI for 1993-94.

Fredland hopes these reviews will reveal evidence that IUPUI has been steadily improving iu teaching methods over the years despite the fact that students are less and less prepared to come to college.

“A person who spoke here recently said you can evaluate universities in a couple of ways. The conventional way is on it inpuu or resources - how many students there are, average SAT scores, mooey spend on labs, how big the library ii, that son of thing,"

Fredland said. "Or you can evaluate a university on iu accomplishments. For example, how far do students go while they’re here? What do they know when they come in. and what do they know when the leave?’

Fredland poinu to declining SAT scores across the country, demonstrating that students are not learning the basics while they are in high school.

"At the same time. I think that the knowledge and the skills of the students who leave IUPUI have remained relatively steady," added

Rainforest

Continued fbm fttgt l lecture to laypersons at the Mini- Medical School. Besch explained that this was a chance to "give something back" and talk about his interests.

He considered it a challenge to talk about something he is still teaming about him sdf - the topical issue of the rain forest and its products.

Besch is not a fanatic, but his passion for saving the rainforest is obvious.

He did not spend the lecture quoting statistics about how much of the rainforest is slashed and burned each day - instead he told the story of one plant, Ryania Spcciosa, and why it is important to preserve this natural

"This year the number of candidates who are running for the positions is the most that has ever run,” Scales said.

Back in the 1930s and 1940s the Merck Chemical Company collected and screened over 3.000 samples of flowers, leaves, stems and roots from around the world. Looking for a natural pesticide, they injected cockroaches with extracts of these specimens. About one-third showed some promise as insecticide. Further screening cut the field to two, one of which was ryania.

The native people were way ahead of the scientists, having learned that shelters built of ryania wood lasted longer. This wood was not eaten up by termites and other insects.

Many plants and animals have very efficient ways to defend themselves in

a hostile environment. Man is sometimes able to exploit a natural product as a medicine.

Although researchers like Besch are investigating medical uses for ryanodine, it is widely used by organic farmers as a natural pesticide. Fanners using it claim that it is ’‘good for the good bugs and had for the bad bugs ”

Besch’s interest in the plant itself, rather than just the compound ryanodine, goes hack to a time when the supply of commcrcially-available purified ryanodine was almost completely exhausted.

The next hatch of ryanodine they purchased was not quite the same.

Often in science discoveries come from mistakes. In this case the new supply of ryanodine had two extra forms (new ryanoids).

Besch and associates have been able to patent one of these compounds.

This compound has helped expand the understanding of how all ryanoids, including ryanodine itself, work.

Holding up a recent copy of the journal Nature, Besch told the class that two laboratories have recently synthesized taxol from scratch. Some day a supply of the drag taxol w ill be available for therapeutic use without having to cut down yew trees.

Besch hopes that someday maybe the same can be said for ryanodine.

Scientists have been able to synthesize most of the very complex structure of ryanodine - but not the entire

Besides trying to synthesize ryanodine, other groups are trying to grow it in liquid culture.

MA college campus contains information on about every topic imaginable. All you have to do is take it.

B ob Knight, at his annual student address several years ago. said students on a college campus have “a bag of rules and a bag of tools,” and that obtaining information on a college campus “is like stealing.”

He couldn’t be more correct What he meant by his first statement was that on a college campus, students have to follow the rules - whether it is applying for financial aid or attending a class that has mandatory

The tools, on the other hand, are the sources of information available on a college campus.

Like a tool, a person can manipulate the vast resources of a campus in any way possible to get the results that person wants.

What he meant by stealing was that a college campus is like a book in a library. It is hill of information. And it is all free. All students have to do is take it. Thus, students can “steal” the information available on a campus.

A college campus holds information on about every topic imaginable, as well as an expert in literally every field imaginable.

All students have to do to use these vast resources is take it.

Faculty, a source of information that many students seldom use, can provide assistance in doing a research paper (and a source for the bibliography). They can also be a

valuable networking source for future purposes. Although they are very busy, they will usually take the time to help a student and often enjoy the opportunity to do so. All you have to do is take the time to make the call.

Faculty members are not hard to reach, cither. Most of the professors have office hours when students can meet with them. If those hours are not convenient, they have telephones with voice mail. Most faculty members also have E-mail.

As an example, I have called a number of professors to ask them for help. Although I had never met these people, they not only took time to talk to me, but they pointed me in directions I hadn’t thought of before.

As a tool, students must use every advantage a college campus has to offer. The learning process goes far beyond sitting through a lecture two times each week.

Did you know there are more than 140 student organizations on campus, including two student assemblies, several community outreach programs, overseas study opportunities and several other learning environments on this campus?

In short, it is not the responsibility of the university to teach you - it is your responsibility to leam. Is there a better place to do this than on a college campus?

a fad of life, says student.

This letter is in reference to all of the negative comments and complaints made about the offices o f Scholarships/Financial Aid and the Bursar.

The first complaint heard is of the time factor. Why is it that students at this campus have a need for immediate gratification?

The fact is that both of these offices have procedures set up that must be followed in order to help 26,000 students. Students fail to realize that these offices are dealing with governmental offices and financial institutions, not to mention processing centers.

Delays happen and that is a fact o f life.

The processing centers may tell a student that a check has been sent when in all actuality it hasn’t and won’t be sent for another week. Have any o f these students who complain ever tried to get a mortgage or loan at a bank? Look at filing an Indiana tax return; you fill out the form and then wait for another six to eight weeks before you get a refund. It takes time and it takes

money.

Students need to be welcomed into the real world: the world o f dealing with things in a procedural manner with rules and regulations. One can only wonder with all the information telling o f the importance to apply by March 1. how many students will neglect to do so. As adults, take responsibility of your own actions and the consequences that follow.

There are many people who are more than willing to be helpful and courteous.

As students, we should be happy that we can take out loans and qualify for scholarships. Instead o f the constant complaining, we should be thankful and appreciative.

Let’s face the fact that for the rest o f our lives, we will be following rules and

Usually, delays are caused by the student who neglects to fill out the proper forms or submit them on time. The new procedure of mailing checks is helpful for all involved. It allows students the time that would have been spent in lines at the bursar's office to be devoted to studies. It also allows the

hy is it that I have never seen an IUPUI basketball game on ESPN, or watched the IUPUI football team play Notre Dame in the Hoosier Dome? The answer is that w i t h fearful Bloomington and Lafayette being a short drive away, there is a suppression at IUPUI - and in far more areas than athletics. In this, the 25lh anniversary of the creation of IUPUI, it is time we realize this and demand equality with our parent schools. If none is forthcoming, then IUPUI should break from the parent schools and become its own university with its own identity, autonomy and accountability.

Why is the track stadium on New York Street built 20 yards too short to allow a football game to be played there? The stadium comes up a little short, as does the rest o f this campus, because we are being suppressed and will continue to be as long as our parent campuses are nearby, fearful of being eclipsed.

Indicative of this suppression is our conspicuous lack o f

highest profile projects for themselves. There is never a motivation to let the creation surpass the creator,

Why are the parent campuses so much more significant in size, structures and amenities? Are we to presume that the resources necessary for one to secure an education are significantly greater at either parent campus than here?

Nonsense.

It is also wrong to claim that as a part of the Indiana and Purdue University systems we receive, in equal measure as the parent campus, the benefits accorded with their names and reputations. If, indeed, the education received from one branch is to be regarded identical as that received at another, why do our diplomas note the campus attended?

Recall your own experiences; note how those in Bloomington and Lafayette and their alumni look down their noses at what is commonly called OOEEPOOEE. This sentiment is not without cause.

In any publication which rates U S. higher learning institutions, there is a separate rating for all parent and branch campuses.

We are not atop the Indiana University list, and it is time we shed our athletic programs in a school of 26,000 students. Compare the branch campus status by heading our own list.

I no with roughly the s : number of students - and a P A C-10 longer wish to hear that this or that policy had its origins i athletic powerhouse. Although athletic programs do not make a Bloomington or Lafayette. At present, our leaders are not our choice.

■ Shuttle convenience for the drivers - not the students.

"...there will be a shuttle bus around campus for your convenience." I remember distinctly being told this before moving on campus. However. I believe the informant got confused.

The convenience o f the shuttle bus route is for the drivers. They circle around this campus in their own sweet lime with total disregard for the schedule, which was given to the students at the beginning o f the school year. Since then the students have been given two other schedules, not one o f which has been followed for very long.

If the director of these shuttle buses would get these drivers back on schedule things could be running smoothly, the students wouldn’t complain and the bus drivers wouldn’t have to deal with all the bickering.

they are appointed or confirmed by the parent schools. Ridiculous - a rural school ought never have control over an urban one.

The peculiarities and orientation of this school are vastly different from our parent institutions, just as urban and rural life are vastly different. A foreign administration which does not place the needs of an compete on a national scale for both athletic excellence and to urban school first, and is slow to conrcct itself, does IUPUI a disservice promote the name of the school. We would, most likely, have and must be replaced.

The time has come for this school to be on its own, free to decide its own future. For our 25th birthday, we ought to thank our parents for taking us this far, and (hey ought to give us a birthday present of university great, they are a useful tool for allowing the school,

Take the time to thank the women who have made a difference in your life.

o

ocial science affirms that a w oman's place in society marks the level o f civilization."

Elizabeth Cady Stanton's words, uttered more than a century ago. continue to provide an excellent yardstick for measuring societal development. O f course, I wonder how many readers know about Stanton or her sister reformer. Lucretia Mott, who jointly organized the great 1848 Seneca Falls Conference which demanded rights for women, including educational and job opportunities and the right to vote.

Women’s History Month brings with it for me a certain degree o f sadness. Sadness that my many history courses seldom exposed me to the accomplishments o f women. Sadness that I, like most other Americans, know little about our female ancestors.

Sadness that my daughter, a senior in college, and son. a high school senior, have received little more instruction about women's achievements than 1 did. Sadness that last month’s student writer about black history has apparently been inspired only by the achievements of black men.

This leaves me to ponder the ongoing reality that few know the historical feats o f women, either in their own right or their diligent work on behalf of causes for which men received the fame and glory. How many readers know:

■ Who was the first woman elected to Congress? (She was elected before women had the right to vote!)

■ Who was the first African-American woman to serve in Congress?

■ Who won the 1963 Nobel Prize in Physics for her work on the shell structure o f atomic nuclei?

■ Who was the first African-American woman to write and produce an all-black opera? ( she is probably only known for her second husband’s name - DuBois.)

■ What 19th century inventor holds more than 20 patents for heavy machinery?

■ What illustrious black Shakespearean actress drew great crowds to hear about the Universal Negro-Improvement Association, thereby making it possible for the young Marcus Garvey to rise from obscurity?

■ What presidential wife said, "You must do the thing you think you cannot do"?

■ What famous author said, "Do not shut yourself in a band box b&ause you are a woman, but understand what is going on and educate yourself to take part in the world's work for it all affects you and yours"?

REBECCA

■ Who is the source of (his quote. "The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her"? (Were these the Vvords of some 1970s bra-burning w omen's libber?)

■ What was the name of your great-grandmother? What do you know about her?

Readers can find the answers to these questions on the W omen’s Studies office door. I urge you to celebrate Women’s History Month by reading works written by and about women. Also. I urge you to take the time to gather VAX! V n n t t H K y°ur own ^c n u *c family history by talking to your elderly

v m x V U U lU llO fcm a|c kin about their lives. I am confident that you will make some fascinating discoveries.

We also need readers to heed our foremothers' plea: "Resolved, (hat the speedy success o f our cause depends upon the zealous and untiring efforts o f both men and women, for the securing to women an equal participation with men in the various trades, professions and commerce."

This vintage resolution still awaits full implementation which, as the writers o f the Seneca Falls Declaration knew, requires strong effort by vast numbers of American men and women.

More women seek admission to career paths dominated by men. and some men notice - and are concerned about - the dearth of women in their workplaces. A recent example of the latter w as my colleague, professor Bob Kirk in the economics department, who expressed his disappointment that no women had been found to participate in (he afternoon panel for the annual Joseph Taylor Symposium.

As we approach the end of this century, we need more men and women who strive for equal participation by both genders in all domains o f life. This will permit more women to be like Congresswoman Pat Schroeder who said. "1 have a brain and a uterus and I use both."

As 1 began this column. I reflected on the sadness which I feel about the lack of recognition given to women’s achievements. As 1 finish writing this column. I am reminded of the gratitude I feel toward all the women who laid the groundwork; who made it possible for women to wear our gender on our sleeves, to be permitted greater access to all the privileges of American citizenship, and to no longer be reconciled to living our best years as housewives. My personal debt of gratitude goes to my mother, Forest, her mother, Hattie, her mother. Margaret, and her mother, Martha.

During W omen's History Month, take time to thank t have made a difference in your life!

Volleyball coach resign s

■ Once again IUPUI is in search of a new head volleyball coach after Lisa Dillman’s resignation.

By Benjam in C o x

For the second year in a row the Metros' volleyball team is without a head coach during the crucial recruiting and scheduling time of the off-season.

Hugh Wolf, athletic director, announced the resignation of head coach Lisa Dillman Iasi Tuesday.

Dillman compiled a 24-17 record in her one season with the Metros.

"Wc thank U sa for the job she did last year, but we're confident that we’ll find someone who will build upon our program's success,"

Wolf said in a press release.

Before Dillman, Tom Pingel was IUPUl’s head coach, leading the Metros to a 70-7 record during his two seasons.

Dillman came to the Metros last spring after Pingel had left the team in the same crucial time of the off-season. Dillman came in and picked up the pieces,

"Last year our season was sort of a throw-together thing after Tom left," said Samantha German, junior outside hitter.

German said Dillman left the team in a more difficult pre­

dicament than Pingel did.

"She did the same thing, even worse because we don't have a

schedule, uniforms, recruits - nothing," German said.

The first day high school players can sign with a college is Feb. I, and for the second year in a row 1UPU1 did not have anyone recruiting for the volleyball team during that crucial time.

This will hun the Metros because many players will have signed with other schools by the time IUPUI is able to find a new head coach.

"Feb. I was the signing date and now it is March with no players and no coach." German said.

Five of last season's players arc expected to return to the team next season, including freshmen Kristy Lace and Julie Hubbell.

Lace and Hubbell were a bit surprised by the news of Dillman’s resignation. Both players said that they would have liked to have had Dillman stay for their full four years because they were accustomed to her coaching styles and techniques.

Wolf said IUPUI began the search for a new coach immediately after Dillman's resignation.

"I have been on the phone on a daily basts talking with prospective coaches," W olf said. "We are turning over rocks wherever we can in hopes of finding a new coach."

"This program can go far but it needs someone who can go with it,"

German said.

The men’s basketball team finished their season with a strong game against the University of Rio Grande (Ohio).

However, their efforts were not strong enough to move them into the next bracket of the NA1A Great Lakes Region playoffs, as the Metros fell last Wednesday night. 111-109. The game ended with the Metros’ Jared Lux left holding the boll, the Metros two points shod and no time left on the clock.

The Metros came back from a 16- point deficit in the second half, with Lux scoring 25 points, Rheft Dallas with 19 and seven rebounds and Al Dixon with 16 points.

IUPUI finished the season with a 9- 18 record, one that head coach Bob Lovell described as nothing less than disappointing.

"We arc obviously disappointed in the season," Lovell said. "We were playing like we should have after Christmas, then we went on the road and we just were not the same team."

The second half of the season consisted mostly of road games for the Metros and a schedule that Lovell described as the most difficult one IUPUI has ever faced

Nine o f their 18 losses were to nationally ranked NA1A and NCAA Div. I schools. Six of the losses were also on the road.
