Parking changes announced

IU P U I students returning for the fa ll sem ester in August w ill find a few changes in parking areas and in the location of the Parkin g O ffice

Construction on two new parking garages for IU P U I is scheduled to b e g in this su m m er, ca u sin g te m p o ra ry re lo c a tio n o f student, faculty, staff, and visitor parking in those areas

Most of the parking area north of the State Board of Health Building and w est of the Union Building w ill no longer be availab le for parking. This area w ill be the site of the West Parking G arage

The parking lot south of U niversity Hospital on Michigan Street ( N o 57 on university m aps) w ill also be vacated

fo r con stru ctio n pu rposes T h is parking area will be the location of the South Parkin g G arage

D ir e c to r o f P a r k in g S e r v ic e s Robert M Tirm enstein said: "The university is m aking every effort to designate the closest available areas for student parking in the tem porary parking relocation.”

T h e tem p orary student parking areas w ill be south and north of New Y ork Street M ore than 800 parking spaces w ill be a vailable Students are reminded of additional parking areas which a re east o f the E ngineering and T e c h n o lo g y B u ild in g (N o . 84 on university m aps) and south o f the Indianapolis Center fo r Advanced

Students with valid perm its also can park in areas for blue and green perm its west of Agnes Street after 5 pm Monday through F rid ay and any tim e throughout the weekend

T w o other tem porary parking areas w ill be established, but w ill serve p rim arily blue and green parking permits. These areas w ill be east of U niverstiy Hospital

The P arking O ffice will m ove in M ay into the Bowers Building, 410 Agnes Street

The construction of the perking g a r a g e s should be c o m p le te d approxim ately one y ea r from the starting date

paper in political science He studied m ore than 10 hours and feels pre­

pared. He picks up his pencil, reads the first question, and. Kaboom ! His mind goes blank, be breaks out in a sweat, and be doesn't rem em ber a single fact about political science

Joe is not the only student to exp er­

ien ce test a n x ie ty . A c c o rd in g to IU P U I Cm— eUng Center Director Donald P. W akefield, “ It is a common problem. W e have counseled scores of stadeats with the problem Since N ov­

em ber alone, 90 students have com e to the center for help in dealing with test an xiety.”

The problem seems most prevalent during finals. The student gets behind in his studies and attem pts to learn his subjects in one or two weeks. How­

ever, many students experience test anxiety throughout their school ca­

reers and never learn how to cope with the problem

The Counseling Center at IU P U I, 419 Blackford Street, was established

anxiety W akefield commented, “We h a v e p ro fe s s io n a l p sy c h o lo g is ts , counselors, and social workers to pro­

vide the needed guidance in most per­

sona) problems Helping students who have test anxiety entails inducing con­

fidence in the student through desyn thetizaUon

“ W e teach the student system atic relaxation,” be continued " W e start at the bead and teach the student to relax e very part o f the body Through relaxation, the student gains control o f himself, frees him self of emotions) and physiological anxieties, and, in torn, can establish a confidence in h im self.”

W akefield said that most students experience test anxiety, but some individuals are capable of c o n v i n c e them selves they can fact tests without professional help. Other students re­

quire training in self-m angagem ent, and physiological and emotional con­

trol.

G enerally, fiv e to six sessions with a rmmsslor a re needed to learn rela xa ­ tion and self-control. Th e student should ultim ately be able to perform the system atic relaxation on his own and gain the confidence to take the test This process can be done before testing or at the moment of testing

The Counseling Center is planning a workshop in the fa ll for students with test anxiety The purpose o f the center is to provide short-term counseling for most personal problem s, such as sexual concerns, c a reer decisions, social problems, motivation, and drug and alcohol problems

The center also plans workshops, seminars, and group sessions in self­

m anagem ent, socialization , asser­

tiveness, weight control, and stress Joe’s tests are not over yet, not by a long shot L ife is full of them Learn ­ ing the skills of relaxation and self- control can help Joe or any student, faculty or sta ff m em ber, cope with lifq!s anxieties

Do not pass go

Legislation affecting US journalists seems to be taking a “ one step forward, two steps back“ course these days, and the results leaves many a future journalist wondering just where we do stand in the courts. * >

The step forward comes in the form of a Florida Supreme Court ruling which set a precedent allowing journalists to photo­

graph, record, and broadcast court proceedings (to take affect M ay 2). This decision represents a significant achievement to­

ward making public court hearings truly “ public,” and defend­

ing the overworked—but nonetheless vital—people’s right to know.

Whether the ruling w ill have an immediate effect locally is un­

known; w e doubt that news media will begin monitoring the daily dope in local courts for live broadcast. But in cases such as Judge S. Hugh Dillon’s busing controversy, local residents would have ben efited from an “ eye and e a r” in the courtroom to allow them to draw their own conclusions from the proceedings.

Meanwhile, however, the US Supreme Court accomplished the

“ two steps back” through its April 18 decision in the libel case of Herbert v. CBS. Contained in the suit was a provision which allows the courts to inquire into a reporter’s “ state of mind” at the tim e when the alleged libel was enacted.

Stemming from Herbert’s charges that SO Minutes producers and Mike W allace were libelous in their representation of him in

a report, the decision has met with almost universal disapproval across the country, especially from the news media and Dress or­

ganizations. We think that this outcry is well-founded, since it is fa r too much to expect a reporter to account for his state of mind while covering a story, or for an editor to have to examine his m otives under legal pressure when m aking daily policy decisions.

The thought, carried to extremes, is even a bit scary. Without belaboring First Amendment rights ad nauseum, we must won­

der how a “ fre e ” press can be required to maintain personal equanimity in addition to its responsibility to fairly depict facts in their presentation, particularly regarding such un-objective stones as child abuse and rape.

The emotional outrage of the press is an important asset in its role as “ watchdog” in our society. It is valuable tradition which cannot and should not be cooly mechanized and tempered under penalty of law, until the emotion is dry and the outrage empty.

The press has the responsibility to be objective and responsible in its coverage of events, but a reporter's or editor’s “ state of mind” has never belonged in a story, much less in the courts.

The Sagamore welcomes letters to the editor. Letters should

be limited to 300 words, be to the point and include the naide,

phene number, and address of the writer. No letters w ill pe

printed unless they are signed. Only the name will bepublishtd

with the letter unless the writer requests anonymity. The editors

reserve the right to edit all letters and to reject those letters they

feel are objectionable. All letters should be typed and addressed to the editor, Cavanaugh Hall, Room 001-G.

Election coverage praised

T o the Editor:

Recent student elections evidenced the highest percentage student voting turnout in university history. The re­

c o rd resu lts in d ic a te that, w h ile student awareness is increasing, the w all o f student apathy is beginning to crumble. M oreover, the election re­

sults firm ly support the prem ise that students believe the Student A ssem ­ bly is the instrument for prom oting student needs and interests, and for effectuating university policy. Both the S a g a m o re and S A E le c tio n s C om m ittee deserve congratulations for their contributions toward the suc­

cessful election.

In p articu lar, Sagamore editors M ike G allaw ay and Karen W agner, deserve to be com m ended for their e x ­ cellent co vera g e o f the SA candidates

and SA election Undoubtedly the election news c o vera g e inform ed the record student electorate o f the is­

sues, and o f the im portance o f the election. Hence the Sagamort was a substantial factor in the election’s success.

Further, the SA Elections Com ­ m ittee, chaired by Jim Anderson, Jr., and A rlen e Thomas, did an excellent job of coordinating the elections w hile a ffordin g the students of each univer­

sity division the opportunity to vote In addition to conducting im partial ele c tio n s , A n d erson and T h om as w orked at the polls without com pen­

Saad Muhammad discusses bout

by M ike G a te w a y t e d M ike Reardon

“ 1 thought I hod woo the fight on • couple o f o c a i k n when I started th row in g upper-cuts and Johnson started w obbling there rea l good Even in the seventh round I knew what I had to do. I can't quite rem em bar certain rounds, but there w ere a couple o f tim es l had him kind of wooay and I knew what I had to do. I knew it had to be the eod o f Johnson ’

T h ree days a fter he took the W orld Boeing Council Light H eavyw eight c rown aw ay from home-town fa vorite M a r v in Johnson, M a tth e w S aad M s h a m m e d (M a tth e w F r a n k lin ) discussed the fight in an interview with the Sogamon

Saad M uham m ad said that the sm all turnout at the championship bout (about M M ) and the fact tin t they would be backing Indianapolis’ M a r­

vin Johnson rea lly didn’t bother him much.

“ A t first it seem ed like it m ight be h a rd to g e t a f a i r sh a k e in Indianapolis Although they promised a fa ir shake. I knew there was only one type o f Judge that was going to be with m e, that was g o b * to be m y right hand. I rea lly don’ t know how many people w ere there, but I wasn’t w o rrie d about the crow d , I was b a s ic a lly w o r r ie d about M a r v in Johneoo ”

The moot difficult part of the fight, Saad M uham m ad exp lain ed , was J oh n son 's “ a w k w a rd s t y le o f a southpaw, but eventually 1 figured It out I wasn’ t surprised by Johnson's ea rly aggressiveness, because I know how Johnson fights, and he com es out aggressive

“ In the sixth and seventh rounds. I started telling m yself that I must get off, I must start doing better than I ’ m doing T hat's when I started doing

m o r e — in the six th and s e ven th rounds.

“ I w as a w are that S ta rts (D r. Scott Starks, the ring-tide physician) was going to stop the fight a fter thaM ghth round because o f the cuts on m y face.

That really m ade m e change m y thoughts because I realised what was about to happen. W h eth er I g ot knocked out or w hatever, I had to go out there the next round and do what I had to do. It was the tim e to get i t ! "

Saad Muhammad said he thought the r eferee was correct in his decision to atop the fight when he did. “ I think the fe fe re e was c o r r e c t," he said,

“ b e c a u s e Johnson w as p r e tty hurt—he was very, v e ry hurt. You sa w him y o u r s e lf on te le v is io n . Johnson was out o f i t

“ I was cut, sure, but I could really h a ve g iv e n Johnson som e brain d am age ( i f the fight had gone on). I was in the state of mind of just being tough, I still would have lived on, but Johnson, with the type o f punishment that 1 issued out to him In that round, I actually would h ave.. . "

“ Y o u would have killed him ,’ ’ a friend suggested

Could Saad Muhammad have gone another couple of rounds?

“ O f course,“ he answered, “ I could have went 15 rounds W ell, 1 mean, you have a man who is v e ry strong, just Uke m e I t ’s just that when you have two good fighters, it's who wants the best out of life and Johnson wasn't strong enough to get it

“ This is something I wanted to be—« champion I knew I was very messed up as fa r as the face was concerned I knew I had to go to m y right hand and knock him out, and I did that ’

R egarding his cuts in the Johnson fight. S a id M uhammad said that this was the second tim e he had been cut.

“ W all actually, it was a butt, " he s a id

“ I think on a couple of occasions he butted m e I don't think his glovce did U because he wasn’ t throwing them fast eoough. 1 think the inside clinches did it with the heed ” (I t took six stitches to close Saad Muham m ad's cuta.)

The new champion said that he had alw ays wanted to be a fighter, even back in his childhood days. “ I lost my parents when I was very you n g," be said, “ and really, 1 didn’ t have a good, good life M y footer parents took good care o f me, but I grew up in a bed neighborhood. Th e nuns who took ca re o f m e for aw hile g a ve m e the name Matthew (fro m the B ib le) Franklin (a fte r Benjam in F ran klin ). 1 wanted to m ake a name fa r m yself

“ That nam e took m e so fa r aa it took me, but aa I was m ore adult, I wanted to becom e somebody in m y own cul­

ture, t o I said 1 must look for a good n a m e b e m u s e o th e r g u y s had n a m e s -J e w is h names, Puerto Rican names.

" I kept the nam e Matthew because it is a good name, because the nuns g s v e me that nam e and it’s a good Bible name Saad means good future.

You see, it means something is begin­

ning. and I am beginning a new life as the new cham pion o f the w orld M u h am m ad m ean s ‘ p r a is e and worthy and worthy of praise ' In my field I am looked upon, so here again was s name-suiting m e "

Saad M uhammad said that he be­

lieves the split between the WBC and the W orld Boxing Association to be dam aging the sport o f boxing and announced that he “ plans to put the two hack together again "

W ill M atth ew Saad M uham m ad giv e M arvin Johnson a rem atch bout?

“ 1 think s o ," he said sm iling, “ in the future.”

Actually, the m erger wasn't g u ilt to hasty The Idta had b e ta kicked around since about finally teem ed to be an

\ necetaity It had gotten to to t point w here t o t state just couldn't afford to have two m ajor universities, which often com peted with one another. In Uw ta m e city Why fund two first yea r physics courses, when o m would suffice ’

However, much a t things would be sim plified la the tong-run, bringing th eta two m a jor u a t a n lt t o t togtth er was certainly not a simple lath la fact, It turned out to bo gargaatuous Soothing rivalries, jealousies, and o v o ta m tn g a virtual mountain of adm inistrative w ork was not a job to tn v y of a a y o M The job foil to M aynard K H im , who becam e chancellor of the newly created lnsUUtuUon

A c h a rm in g , soft spoken m an, w ith a characteristic twinkle In his e y e of someone who has witnessed a tot of students com e and go, H in t

That m ay ba, but m ore likely, H in t was chosen far other reasons A diplom at's skills w ore needed and Hina had the reputation of knowing the city, getting along well with people, and being, probablv, the one person who could successfully pull all the ends together

According to Hint, "Many people thought It would be tmpooaible to got IU and Purdue to work together A good deal o f the credit goes to K IM , who when appointed as chancellor, was unable to boast of an office, desk, or even a filing cabinet Nonetheless, he somehow coordinated to t numerous schools which reported to him, including too School of Physical Education, the U w School, tha.Medical Center, and the Schools of Nursing, Attted Health, and Science, Into one cohesive unit

This dentist by trsds, spoke from the Dental School library about the university he knows so w ell His present title Is Chancellor In te rim s , which means, h i quipped, "without m e r t t / '- a w ry obaarvatien on retirem ent One can sente the s lifh l fru stration o f such a v ita l and in telligent man at being out o f hs "m a in s tre a m "

Another aspect which went into the creation o f shopping center c l a i m was the weather F or sev e ra l winters, toe w eather has m ade it Increasingly difficult for faculty and students to got to c l a i m "W h at's omt h u * that's always op en ?" East asked him self "Shopping centers "

Th e a rrangem ent la mutually beneficial to toe university and com m ercial business "W s don't have to pay for the classroom space and w e get the new students," stated East The departm ent stores get the business of the student

Com m enting on som e reports that L o o m and Shop hasn't actually increased business In the

In the couree of v tilin g Learn and Shop classes, though, East has purchased a suit, a shirt, rubber galoshes, and two Uoo " He declared, " I t does w o rk ."

Learn and Shop, called a "pu blic m a gn et," has brought education to a lot of people who never would have received It any other way East explained that many adults a m hesitant to com e to the campus, fearful of all those "b rig h t young things " Ironically eoough, what many adults fall to m a llis la that many of thooe "b righ t young things" a m perfectly content to keep the adult students In Learn and Shop and Weekend College classes, dial iking the increased com petition which hard-working adult students engender

According to East, universities wall people In

and out, figu ratively and literally What L o o m and Shop has really accomplished la toe tearing down of eomo o f thooe walla by bringing faculty and courses to neighborhoods And a t East maintained. "T h e community w ill benefit W e ll have a m om enlightened community ."

Hlne related several innovations In the School of M edicine A program has been created which, In effect, allows the university to add one new m edical school, without constructing a single building Students w ill be accepted to the IU School of Modlcine-Indianapolls and allowed to take freshman courses at Ball State, Purdue U niversity, IU, and N otre Dam e Then they w ill finish at the Indianapolis campus

"S even ty-five hospitals have been connected with our m edical center by two-way television ,"

"T h e idee that you have to have a student in the ta m e building for four years to become a doctor la no longer existen t," Hlne contended

The Dental School hfeoabo been the focal point of recent Innovative efforts Students can lake cou rses by te le v la io n fro m F t. W a y n e , E vansville, and South Bond, and can com plete the « i U m program in their home-town if desired.

"T h is spreads the students a round," said Hine It’s aloe another w ay e f expanding toe university beyond traditional walls

Indianapolis has recently undergone extensive cam paigns to revitalise the downtown t r o t , and IU P U I has boon a m ajor factor in toe city's growth. Richard Lugar declared several years ago, " I t Is impossible to im agine a great city without a great university, they enhance each other "

M ayor Hudnut has rem arked that. " I U P U I m ay be the number-one cause, the prim e reason, for many young and m iddle-aged persona to keep com ing back downtown "

Nonetheless lU P U l'e city status is often pointed to as its moot favorable feoture As J r Irwin put it, ‘ The population of our students is so thoroughly integrated with the population of Indianapolis that it cannot be found for political and marketing campaigns Thslr ( students 1 only common characteristic is the tact of their enrollment at IU P U I

Olpnn W Irwin, Jr.

Student Activities

Irwin looks upon this thorough integration of town and gown as an unintended but m ajor socceaa of IU P U I Students may be inclined to disagree While it's true that close to half the student population is m arried almost «o percent hold jobs students sv e ra g e age is 17. and that many of these students don't care about any

•ambiance of social life at IU P U I a large percentage is left which could, and does, care about more than attending class These students

• r e tr y in g

Three years ago. the C ircle City Circuit was established as IU P U I s answer to Bloomington s Little SCO and Purdue s Grand P rlx Attendance at student functions is notoriously low on this campus, but things do seem to be picking up a bit

No doubt w hatever degree of success any student activity has met with, it's been helped along by Mike Wagoner director of student activities

Wagoner whose door is alw ays open has a w a rm , e a sy g o in g m an n er and seem s to rem em ber names instantaneously In the midst of his busy offices from which s constant traffic of students seem to com e and go. Wagoner commented on student activities at IU P U I

“ If w e re going to judge the success of an activity on numbers what do we com pare them la ? " asked W agoner cryptically “ A good turn out is d tffv e n t for an urban campua ho said

to addition jo community work ea a i

student too

An activity la s succem if M's i and executed and valuable to the total scope of student activities, proposed Wag<

Interest in student activities

every year Still, interest in many activities rem a in s e m b a r r a s s in g ly low T a k e , fo r exam ple, thr number of Student Asoemly seats left unfilled Or a typical student who upon taking time to vote in the recent elections found that he name was m ore than likely the only one on the * b o le page checked off for h a v u * voted

Athletics at IU P U I could be d o ir* better to say the Meat Indeed the Metros have suffered a sorry see son beleaguered by lack of university and public support and now with Coach Overm an s resignation it looks as if • sinking ship may be quickly going down H owever many feel that Overm an s resignation was m ore than justified and it w ill wake people up and help change thirds for the better

H int felt that the lack of student interest in activities is simply the typical situation at an urban university W e have serious minded

students

not much interested in athletics he explained They go to shoot and com e home much like students at the City College of New York do

While in favor of student activities Hine asserts that they can t assume a dominate role i t ' s not the role of the university to entertain students Education should come first

One thing which Hine feels has served to pull students together is IU P U I • student newspaper the S e g o w o r f The form ation of a unified campus newspaper followed a few years after the IU Purdue m erger P reviously Purdue students published the Component, and IU students bed the Onomatopoeia Since being form ed the Sagamore has gone on to win numerous awards In 197ft it was named as the new sm agazine of the year by the Indians Collegiate Press Association, and has taken high honors in the following years

A d v a r f t i g b t

Even though IU P U I might not afford an active social life there are distinct advantages to an urban school Job opportunities are available as on no other campus and contracts with the professional world are m ore easily made with the help of lU P U I’s part-tim e faculty And while you may find the campus posters which read Vole Harvard Princeton IU P U I somewhat droll, IU P U I does hold certain advantages which these Iv y League schools do not According to Hine

“ Iv y League schoools concentrate on philosophy and theory Our students get more practical

^ g S c a t i o o and find jobs quicker than H arvard students Not that w e're right and they re w roog he added W e re jirat different

By virtue of its being an urban campus. IU P U I opens up educational bortaons to students who might otherwise have miaeed them The m erger peid off When the university was established in 1949. th ere w e re ro u gh ly 1S.9M students scattered throughout the different schools Now thet figure has looped to over 90 000 students After this year s commencement over to.000 graduates w ill have earned IU P U I degrees To meet this incredible growth over 100 faculty end staff m em bers hove been added since 1 9 «

Some students m ay be concerned about coming to IU P U I. w o o d e n i* if the downtown cspus is really sa fe Form er Mayor Lugar blasted this notion, calling It a myth H o contended that downtown streets. If anything a r t safer than the suburbs due to the higher concentration of poflc* u the area

Dr Paul Bogan has observed that IU P U I partin g lots are the beat lighted of any university to the state and that IU P U I crim e Incidence is low as c o m p a re d to s im ila r schools
