Sarah Weddington
Roe vs. Wade attorney
to speak to students
By Cathy Faughnan
UP staff writer
Sarah Weddington will present a
motivational lecture entitled “You
Can Make a Difference” Wednesday
at 8 p.m. in the Setzer Student
Center ballroom.
Weddington is a native Texan who
graduated from the University of
Texas Law School at 21 and five
years later won the landmark case
of Roe vs. Wade before the U.S.
Supreme Court. The court’s decision
legalized abortion under certain con-
ditions.
The same year, Weddington was
elected to the Texas House of
Representatives, the first woman
ever elected from Austin, and serv-
ed three terms.
As a representative, Weddington
worked to prevent passage of
legislation to repeal Texas’ Equal
Rights Amendment and helped
spearhead the state’s ratification of
the national ERA.
She also became general counsel
for the U.S. Department of
Agriculture in 1978 and within a year
was appointed by President Carter
to serve as his assistant on women
and minority affairs.
Weddington was instrumental in
the record number of female ap-
pointments to high-ranking posts in
the Carter administration.
In 1983, Weddington was appointed
Texas Gov. Mark White’s director of
state and federal relations in
Washington, D.C. She returned to
private practice in Texas in 1985.
Weddington was chosen as one of
Time magazine’s Outstanding
Young American Leaders and was
presented with Ladies Home Jour-
nal’s Woman of the Future Award.
She was also selected one of the 10
Outstanding Women in America in
1979.

Open meetings were held this
week with Joseph Havana ugh and
Robert DeBard, two of three
finalists being considered for the
position of associate vice president
and dean of students.
A third finalist, Barbara Mann
will hold an open meeting Tuesday
at 10:30 a.m. in the Setzer Student
Center Ballroom.
Students, staff and faculty are in-
vited to attend this meeting to ask
questions about her experience in
student-related issues and other per-
tinent information.
Kavanaugh said if he were hired,
he would have a “strong sense of
new vision for Lamar” and would
like to emphasize student involve-
ment in decision-making.
He said his greatest achievement
is that he has the ability to bring
things together and to get various
voices speaking together.
“I see there is a lot of desire
among Lamar students for this to
happen.”
Kavanaugh said he believes stu-
dent opinion should be a part of
group problem-solving. “I like infor-
mation from a lot of different
sources before making a decision.
Student involvement is critical,” he
said.
As for leadership at Lamar, he
said anything that encourages
leadership is good. “There is no such
thing as too much leadership,” he
said.
Kavanaugh is assistant vice presi-
dent of student affairs at Loyola
University in New Orleans.
He also has been director of cam-
pus programs and director of
residence life at Ohio Wesleyan
University in Delaware, Ohio.
He holds the Ph. D. from Loui-
siana State University in Baton
Rouge.

Robert DeBa
DeBard said Thursday his .„eal
point would be to increase the quali-
ty and quantity of student involve-
ment.
“I would like to provide oppor-
tunities for anyone interested in be-
ing involved,” he said.
He said Lamar is the type of in-
stitution he attended and that he
would have an internal drive to be
committed.
DeBard said he believes a correla-
tion exists between student satisfac-
tion in college and the level of
remembrance of college life.
“You will remember college be
ter if you have more involvemei™
with the faculty and get involve^
more activities,” DeBard said,
wantiafoster that involvement.”
DeBard said he feels strong
about a good career planning pi
gram. “People from the commufii
in various positions should comp
and be role modelaT’^
DeBard is an associate profess
of education and dean of stude
development at Old Domini
University, Norfolk, Va. «
He earned a Ed. D. from Indiai
University.
