Asbestos cleared from Clinical

Research site

Removal of asbestos dis­

covered in a cooling tower being razed northeast of Uni­

versity Hospital was com­

pleted last week, according to Ray Casati, university archi­

tect.

Specialty Systems Inc., an asbestos abatement firm, com­

pleted its work at the site last Tuesday, Casati said. The site is being cleared for the cam­

pus’ new Clinical Research Center.

Razing of the 30-by-100 foot structure began Feb. 5, but was halted the next day when a construction worker alerted on-site managers that he believed the towor contained trnnsft*, a compound of asbef- tos and concrete. Transits used as an insulator in bailies within the tower which act to divert water llow in the struc­

ture Casati said.

“Nobody knew there was asbestos in it until they started to tear it down,” said Morris French, chair of the campus' Asbestos Safety Com­

mittee. “As soon as we found out what it was, it was stopped.”

French said transit poses no health hazard because the con­

crete used in the compound binds the dangerous asbestos fibers together. If inhaled, asbestos fibers can cause asbestosis, a fatal lung dis­

ease.

A proposed Technopolis”

that would connect the cam­

pus' medical center with Meth­

odist Hospital is receiving seri­

ous consideration from city and state officals.

The planned technology park would consist of a series of medical technology and instrumentation firms, phar­

maceutical companies, and medical research labs linking the two centers. Planners say the large number of people drawn to work or study at the complex would warrant hous­

ing as part of the development.

A spokesperson from Mayor William Hudnut’s office said last week a joint task force of the d ty government and L t Gov. John Mutz will convene shortly to look Into the posll- bility of bringing the vision closer to reality.

The idea first surfaced in 1982 when a stategic plan for economic growth in Indian­

apolis was drawn up, says Tim Mongei* president of the Indi­

anapolis Economic Devel­

opment Corporation (EDC)( a private non-profit organiza­

tion looking into future eco­

Science complex remains low priority among requests

By LESLIE L FULLER Campus Editor

Although plans for a Sci­

ence, Engineering and Tech­

nology complex for IUPUI’s muin campus are already drawn, current legislative pri­

ority for new university capital that would include that project

“stands at zero,” said Joe Lof- tis, staff attorney for the Ways and Means Committee last week.

Loftis said the rating is low because “the first things" to be dealt with are projects recom­

mended as priorities by the Commission on Higher Educa­

tion. This zero rating is ”not unusual at this stage,”

explained Loftis.

The commission lowered the SE/T project from number one to number 10 on it* list of top funding priorities for capital (building) projects at their Nov. 14. meeting. At their August retreat last year the IU Board of Trustees placed the project behind the Chemistry Building at IU-Bloomington, which is an on-going project, making it the top priority for

new construction.

Getting a student advocate for IUPUI students is now top priority, student body presi­

dent Martin Dragonette said ut last Tuesday's Student Assembly meeting.

“I will use all of my power as president to try and accom­

plish that,” Dragonette told assembly senators. “Hyun (Hyun Bowden, Business school senator) has worked very hard, and she has a good point,” he said. *

At the Feb. 3 meeting of the Student Assembly, Bowden proposed that the possibility of setting up a student advocate office separate from the cur­

rent Student Affairs office be looked into. Since that time, Bowden has circulated a peti­

tion in an attempt to gather the signatures of at least 2,000 IUPUI students in support of

the proposal.

Bowden currently has about 450 signatures. If the 2,000 total is reached she will con­

sult with the Student Affairs office and Gerald Bepko, IUPUI vice president, before submitting the petition to Bepko and the IU Board of Trustees. >

PAMELA FREEMAN, IU - Bloomington's student advo­

cate, addressed senators at last week's, offerings words of encouragement for the cause.

“You’re on the right track, don’t back ofT,” she said. Free­

f Q a r t of the job is

■ selling the idea to prospective companies.'

•Tim Monger ________ President, EDC

“Ideas like this have been suc­

cessful in other communities,*

he said.

The so-called T ech no poll s’s"

built by Japanese firms to house employees in areas of technological development- - thereby becoming communi­

ties within themselves-are an example of this, Monger said.

Hudnut focused more atten­

tion on the plan in January when he included it in his annual State of the City address. At that time, Deputy Mayor John Krause said the center would be located along Senate Avenue and the Indi­

anapolis Water Co. canal between Methodist and IUPUI.

Part of the job the task force will face is selling the idea to prospective companies, said Monger. City planners believe the presence of the two large medical facilities and the availability of land in the area are resources that should help attract medical technology businesses.

At the same time, task force members must convince the campus' medical center and Methodist-long-time rivals-to cooperate in the venture.

According to Thomas Henry, director of University Rela­

tions, city officials have approached Walter J. Daly, dean of the School of Medicine, concerning the project, but no detailed plans have emerged.

Daly was out of town last week and was not available for com­

ment on the project.

Robert E. Welty, director of Planning at the School of Med­

icine, said the idea has been discussed by school officials but has not toon a topic of seri­

ous deliberation as of yet.

“We've thought about this

for years, but we've just never

been able to put it together

quite right,” said Welty "It's

an open-minded sort of thing

and we obviously would want

to be part of i t It just has to

become amre defined.”

Student advocate named top priority by Dragonette

Continued from Page 1 1986, said there might be some problems with the title “stu­

dent advocate.''

“We are not legal,” she said.

“Some people, because of the title, think we are.” She also pointed out that not everyone that works in the office is a ' student and that the title “stu­

dent advocate” may make some students think the office is “pro student no matter w hat”

“You can loee credibility real fast if you look radically pro student; you have to be real­

istic,” Freeman said.

AFTER THE meeting, Freeman told the Sagamore that “every campus should have an office of thi s type.” She also said that once adminis­

trators and faculty realise that

the student advocate is not a threat to them they come to appreciate the office also. “Ad­

ministrators and faculty want to be fair, too,” she said.

In other businees at the meeting, it was announced that the Search and Screen Committee for the Dean of Student Aft s i n has narrowed the list of names for the new dean of student affaire to five.

Those five applicants will be interviewed in a series of five Interviews that began last Thursday and will continue through this Wednesday.

Student Advocate proposal rolling up early support

I

n recent days the Issue of the installment of a student advocate position on m e IUPUI campus has rlasn from a minor point of dis­

cussion into one of the major issues of the semester for the Student Assembly.

Assembly senator Hyun Bowden has proposed the establishment of a student advocate or *00100050180"

for the IU P U I campus, citing conflict of interest built into the po6t of Dean of Student Affairs as a reason for the change.

Presently, the Dean of Student Affairs has the dual responsibility of representing both the administration and the students of IUPU I. Bowden contends this is a form of conflict of Interest because the dean controls several offices including the Registrar, Scholarship and Financial Aid. Admissions, and the Career and Place­

ment Office in addition to being placed In the awkward position of working with these offices and representing students at the sam e time.

In a recent Student Assembly meeting on the IU-

... x iF r a e -

the office should one be established here

O ne major stumbling block toward the establishment of such an office is lack of funds. Freem an noted that III-Bloom ing ton has established a volunteer student advocate staff of 18 retired faculty m embers and stu­

dents to serve the RJ-B community By utilizing retired faculty m embers Freem an maintains that the advocate office has succeeded In giving the office "clout" as well as respectability.

Students at IU P U I appear to favor the ooncept of stu than 4 0 0 atana-

i W

ia- dent advocate here. Bowden said more than tures have been obtained on pettoons which iated on-campus. In time, she hopes to have more" signatures.

Kathy Schlimgen, Student Assembly vice-president, said that interest favoring the student advocate has not been limited to students at UJPUI. Schlimgen said some faculty m embers and "a tow deans” have signed the petitions.

Th e concept is not without its detractors, however.

Nevertheless, the concept of student advocate without administrative ties is a logical idea, worthy of develop­

ment. The Sagam ore hopes the IU PU I community wHI accept the potential impact of such an office as a long- overdue step toward a better environment for everyone.

of facts presented in argu­

ments are atreaaed. The impor­

tance of carefully choosing one's words to express exactly what one means is repeatedly

•tressed.

We are taught to “fine-tune"

our speech-making abilities.

We are taught to “think on our feet."

So why are there practicing attorneys who argue (for four hours in my experience) on purely emotional grounds instead of constructing a logi­

cal, factual presentation with point-by-point examination and cross-examination?

The defense attorney in this particular case berated the police officer (a prosecution witness) continually for his

“slowness” in answering the defense attorney’s questions.

Apparently, the usual court­

room methodology is this:

given fact, pound fact Given logic, pound logic. Given nei­

ther fact nor logic, pound the table. Hit on the emotions. If this fails, attack the plaintiff, in this case the state's witness.

The lack of a quick answer on the part of the police officer was indicative of the inability on the part of the defense attorney to phrase a compre­

hensible question.

I was appalled. 8urely this absurd circus waa viewed as an insult to the intelligence by more than this lonely voice.

Had a transcript of this fiasco been submitted to any of the Speech and Communications instructors with whom I am acquainted, the grade would be "Pailure."

Engineers are sometimes viewed aa being so removed from the realm of “common man" that people suspect we walk around in a daze mutter­

ing to ourselves in Boolean Algebra. That is not true of most engineers with whom I am acquainted. And after my exposure to the Teal world"

with the dreadful deportment of the defense attorney and the logic errors and the factual omissions by tha prosecuting attorney, this writer cannot help but ask "How did these people get through law school?"

I am not attacking the Law School as much aa I am expressing my shock, dismay and revulsion at the repre­

hensible display which I unfor­

tunately witnessed in Marion County Superior Court 6 last January.

And I am expressing pro­

found thanks to instructors who have guided my growth in logical expression and argu­

ment. Engineers may net be the moat articulate and com­

municative people in our soci­

ety, but from what I have seen, we are far ahead of these two lawyers.

Editor's Note

Student Assembly Senator Hyun Bowden, in a letter that appeared in the Feb. 16 issue of the Sagamore, stated that a proposed student council for hearing student grievances would be comprised of one- third faculty and two-thirds students. Bowden said the pro­

posed make-up of that council has since been changed to half student and half faculty in an effort to make the proposed council aa unbiased as pos­

Nobody really knows the plight of the disabled

With a soft voice, the blue- eyed man in the wheelchair thanked the woman Tor the complimentary hot cup of dou­

ble dutch chocolate which she had placed upon hia tray.

The aroma from the cup rose invitingly up hia nostrils and he anticipated its warm taste on this chilly afternoon. With that in mind, he'directed his wheelchair toward the student lounge adjacent to the book­

store to get a straw.

The room was crowded and the shelf where the straws are kept was out of sight and reach as well. “Are there any straws

’eft," he asked. “Sorry," replied a woman in a blue drees.

“There just aren’t any left."

M that point the man in the wheelchair-who could not move his hands and Angers- -realized that without a straw it would be impossible for him

to enjoy the cup of hot choco­

late wit)tout enlisting the help of a stranger.

“Sometimes yoy can tell by looking at people who is th»

best person to ask," he said.

"You learn who is the best per­

son to ask for help and who not to. You look at faces.”

"1 have to rely on people I know from class as far as need­

ing help,” he added. "Usually people are cooperative."

Sometimes he needs assis­

tance in the restroom and is solely dependent upon other students in this endeavor. "I say, hey can you please help me in the restroom?" He explained. "And then I explain to them not to be frightened because it’s not so difficult Some people might give me a funny look, but most are cooperative."

C r a ig R u s s a i b u r g

And what if nobody is around to help? "What can I do?" he replied. “I just have to wait until I can And someone to help me.”

Sometimes the pursuit of an education can almost become secondary to learning where and where not to attempt to go on campus in a wheelchair

The gerbil tubes whkh con­

nect buildings across busy streets cannot be used by this

man because "the tension in doors a ( e ith e r end is too strong for me to open."

“Some doors I can open if I repeatedly back up against them with my chair." he sfid.

‘But it’s real hard on the chair itself Other doors I just can’t get into at all because the ten­

sion is just too strong."

Like other disabled students on the IUPUI campus, the man in the wheelchair has some distinct feelings toward the efforts made to make this campus more accessible for those who are impaired. He is bitter.

The administration has made efforts toward making good on its commitment to make the IUPUI campus accessible for disabled stu­

dents. But tike in everything else, the bottom tine is a mat­

ter of dollars and centa-and time.

The bureaucratic process whkh brings about change is, as expected, a woefully slow process. For the disabled com munity of IUPUI it is literally a painfully slow process

Is it right to fault these peo­

ple for being bitter? I am not so sure. However, to some extent I do know the nature of people.

And if I, for example, were to exchange places with a dis­

abled IUPUI student and experience what it really means to be in a wheelchair on this campus—I probably would be unhappy, too.

As for the man in the wheel­

chair "Tve been sticking it out here lor six years," he said. "It gets to be frustrating some­

times, but I gue»s I can handle it for a couple more years.”

"Maybe there will be an eas­

ier time," he added. ‘Hope folly, someday more will get done."

Commuter campus can be quality campus

By P A U L D UB IN

Two ppaceptions of IUPUI have become popular among some of those who set policies for higher education in the state of Indiana, 'niese are that IUPUI’s mission is to serve "place-bound students ” and secondly, th at this should involve "delivery* and not “development."

Both phrases require trans­

lation. The Arst implies that IUPUI students are here by necessity, not choice, although it is not clear whether the cords supposedly binding our

students here are ones of Anancial duress, family Jbsponsibilitiee, or lack of

ambition or talent.

But the imptication of second-class status is almost inescapable. This "place- bound" IUPUI student is one who stops off on Tuesdsy and Thursday evening on the way home from work to pkk up three credit hours toward hia/

her degree. He (8he) obviously does not need “frills’-euch as comfortable and convenient student lounges and cafete­

rias, a strong library codec-

The Last Word

tion, a centralized campus, extensive athletic facilities, i.e.

the "development" of IUPUI.

Like a convenience store, IUPUI should “deliver"

education-as conveniently and inexpensively as possible, say via taped lectures to tne student’s work place.

These notions threaten to short-change both the stu­

dents and the city of Indian­

apolis. They are totally incon­

gruous with spy real univer­

sity.

I graduated from an urban university that provided cheap, high-quality education to the masses-the City Uni­

versity of.New York (CUNY).

An urban university, CUNY offered many night-school courses, had only minor inter­

collegiate teams and no dormi­

tories. But it has an out­

standing library, a genuine campus, and top-notch faculty.

As a result, many of CUNY’s

"place-bound" alumni went on to distinguish careers (includ­

ing several Nobel prises).

I resent the notion that the mission of urban higher educa­

tion is embodied in an expanded undergraduate com­

munity college and that an urban university cannot be n great university. Those who suggest that Indianapolis should be satisfied with so much less understand neither cities nor universities.

Housing bills requiring deposit returns target 'not so reputable’ owners

By N a nc y H a t*

Two landlord-tenant bill*

filed in the Indiana Houae of Representative* this session could benefit IUPUI students and staff who rent apart­

ments.

' House Bill 1400 would limit the security deposit charged by a landlord to 160 percent of one month’s re n t In addition, the bill requires the landlord to return the deposit within 30 days after the end of the rental agreement.

H.B. 1400 also specifies that back rent and damages caused by the tenant’s violation of the law or the rental agreement could be subtracted. However, in such a case damages would have to be itemized in writing by the landlord and a list pro­

vided to the tenant Sponsor John Day, D- Indianapolis, says the bill is designed to go alter the “not so reputable property owner.” He says he has had numerous complaints from constituents about security deposit prob­

lems.

Sometimes, Day says, a building may change owners several times. The tenant may never know who actually owns the propert/“tm d will often never get the security deposit back. Day’s bill would require that the tenant be given names and addresses of the apartment manager and actual owner.

If the landlord failed or refused to return the deposit within 30 days cf departure, the tenant could sue for the deposit and attorneys’ fees.

The right to recover attor­

neys’ fees is important. Day says, because private attor­

neys now will not handle cases like this. "They don’t think it’s worth the effort,” he says.

Landlords, Day adds, often argue that bills like H.B. 1409 are unnecessary. “The market will prevail, they say, and if a landlord is unethical he or she will either lose business or be put out of business alto­

gether,” said Day, who calls that belief “absolute non­

sense.”

T here is no free market in the tight housing markets stu­

dents are up against, particu­

larly in Bloomington,” he said.

Kathy Williams, an Indian­

apolis attorney with the Legal Services Organization of Indi­

ana, sees numerous low- income clients who have secu­

rity deposit problems. Some landlords frequently keep a tenant’s deposit for no reason, Williams says.

Others will keep the entire deposit because of a violation of the lease by the tenant, even if no actual damage has occurred.

Day’s bill, Williams says, would “give tenants some lev­

erage.” Because tenants could recover »ttomey fas*. .Land­

lords would have an incentive to comply with the law, she :idds.

sible, usually within 30 days."

The same is true for .off- campus housing owned by IUPUI, according to off- campus housing property mansger Fuller Jones. Secu­

rity deposits for these 173 apartment units are not over 150 percent. And in almost every situation, Jones says, students are given written, itemized notices of any dam­

age charge*.

H.B. 1400 is now awaiting a bearing by the House Judi­

ciary Committee. According to Day, it is up to Committee chsirman John Donaldson to decide whether to hear the bill or not.

Form er Reagan aide Daniels assum es Hudson Institute post

Plenty of work for IBM PC operators

By TRISHA OeLONO Mitchell E. Daniel* Jr., for­

mer ussistant to President Ronald Resgsn for intergov­

ernmental affairs, officially assumed hi* new title of vice president and chief executive officer of the Hudson Institute yesterday.

Daniels denied that his res­

ignation as an aide to Presi­

dent Reagan came as a result of the president's handling of the Iran-Contra* arms affair.

He said he feels that after IS yeurs of public service and ivlulitwi* with the Republican Puny, he is ready to establish a tureer in private life.

Continued from Page 1 The proposed facility, how­

ever, could get some attention this Thursday when the House's Ways and Means Committee holds a “mark-up”

meeting, in which specific funding could be changed, Lof- tis said.

The meeting, which could

“be over in the morning or could run into late night houra(“^ » u ld help assign a higher priority for the planned'*

$38 million SE/T complex in the legislature. If approved, construction of the complex, to be built south of the univer­

sity’s current Engineering/

Technology Building, could begin this year.

Loftis noted that the IU- Bloomington Chemical .Build­

ing and Tamarack Hall at IU- Northwest were the only “two capital projects given top pri­

ority" in the Higher Education Commission recommenda­

tions.

Since the legislators “buy down these recommendations until money runs out," the place the commission gave the new facility was a recom­

mendation to Bind it, but

“practically" this high ranking was not high enough, Loftis said.

Acquisition of the Mary Cable building, which houses the campus’ theatre and com­

munication's programs, was given only an “important”

ranking, not high enough to put it on the list of projects most likely to be funded. The building is currently owned by the IU Foundation.

"I can't tell you right now whether there is enough sup­

port in the legislature* for the SEA1 complex to receive the funding it needs, he said.

“I have no idea what’s going on,” said School of Science dean Marshall Yovite. “But if it’s agreed that we’re going to move, it will (still) be a long time before anything hap­

pens.”

The Hudson Institute is a conservative research group that has ties with state and local government The research group focuses on vari­

“they had been welcomed into Indiana's academic com­

Mossier said Daniels would be working full time for the institute and any work he

would do with Baker and Dan­

Mossier said that since Dan­

Daniels is looking forward to moving back to Indianapolis and being able to devote more time to his family.

Purdue-Calumet opened their eyes.

As a result of that, S t Mary’s got its eyes shut tight

The Metros, seeded No. 1 in the District 21 tournament, nearly fell victim to the

"anythtng-can-happen” cliche against Purdue-Calumet Tues­

day, but avioke to defeat S t Mary’s 73-69 to gain a spot in the District 21 finals against Franklin.

The championship game was played Saturday, alter press time.

When the playofTs opened last Tuesday, IUPUI, now 20-7, did not enter its first game under ideal circum­

stances.

“We didn’t have a good prac­

tice the night before," Coach Julie Wilhoit said. “We didn’t get the things accomplished that we wanted to.”

Because of that, the Metros nearly became the first upset victim of the playoffs, winning only 86-83.

“We wese lax. That game was a lesson that anything could happen,” Wilhoit said. .

Now awake, the Metros went to the task of trying to pul S t Mary’s to sleep Thurs­

day. The key, Wilhoit said, was To have a good practice.

“I’m a big person^ jjp prac­

tices, and the practice before

the first game was unorgan­

ised,” she said. "But the prac­

tice before Thursday night’s game waa excellent”

Part of lUPUTs game plan was geared toward stopping S t Mary’s Radke sisters, Julie and Tammy, so much so Wil­

hoit wanted somebody-watch­

ing them and only them at all times.

The Radkes combined for 36 points, combining to shoot 17-of-36 from the field and 2-of-6 from the line. However, neither scored in sync. Julie Radke scored only 4 points in the second half, while Tammy Radke scored only 4 points in the first half.

The Metros were led by sen­

ior forward Amy Strohmeyer with 16 points. Senior guard Kelly Fitxgerald and senior center Julie Hall each scored 14 points.

The Metros also outshot ths Belles .600 to .429 from the field and .789 to .419 at the line.

“It was so nice to coach a ballclub who gave 110 per­

cent,” Wilhoit said.

“We were much more relaxed in this game,” she said.

“We weren't as tense as on Tuesday. We felt pressure in the first game, but once we got over the hump, we were OK."

arentlv it was OK to keep the Metros’

eyes opened;
