UNIVERSITY PRESS April 8,1988*4
Chairperson speaks out against nomination process
By Evelyn Hawn
UP news editor
Terry Burge, Toast to Leadership
chairman, spoke out Tuesday at the
Student Government Association
meeting against new guidelines con-
cerning the Professor of the Year
Award.
At the previous meeting, the
senate, after lengthy discussion,
decided that all professors
nominated for the award would be
on the election ballot.
Usually, the nominees are narrow-
ed down to one candidate per college
and then voted on in the general stu-
dent elections.
“Some people said that it’s not fair
that people are cut down and it’s for
the students to decide,” Burge said.
“But if you recall, everyone in this
room is a student and you are
representing every organization on
this campus in theory.”
Burge also said he was bothered
by the fact that although it is his
committee which handles the
Professor of the Year Award, he
was not consulted on the matter and
found out about the changes from a
third party.
Another motion passed by the
senate concerning the award for-
bade professors to campaign for the
position in the future.
The motion referred to signs and
flyers around campus advertising
one of the professors nominated for
the award.
“To lower it (the award) down to
campaigning and who can have the
most name recognition, to me really
demeans the award,” Anne-Marie
Roy, who brought up the motion,
said.
“It’s on the ballot as an honor, not
an election,” she said.
Also at the meeting, nominations
were opened for vice president and
secretary-treasurer positions.
Darrell Cage, John Hock and John
Jenkins were nominated for the vice
presidential position.
Cage currently serves as the
Chamber of Commerce liaison;
Hock serves as the Beaumont City
Council liaison; and Jenkins is the
public affairs chairman.
Kim Arrington and Maggie Weir
were nominated for the secretary-
treasurer position.
Arrington is a senator represen-
ting Alpha Chi Omega sorority, and
Weir is a freshman class senator.
The nominations will be reopened
Tuesday. The senate will vote on the
nominees after the nominations are
closed.
Also at the meeting, Regina Arm-
strong, Groves senior, received a
Redbird of the Week Award for win-
ning first place in the Beta Alpha Psi
Southwest Regional Convention
Outstanding Technical Paper
Award. She was to be given the
award last week, but was not able to
make the meeting.
Brent Snyder also received the
Redbird of the Week for this week.
Snyder won first place for review
writing at the Southwest Journalism
Congress.
The University Press was award-
ed the Cardinal Court of Honor for
placing second among college
newspapers in the Associated Press
competition.
Also, the Committee of Student
Organizations granted permanent
recognition to the French society.
VP candidate speaks in forum
By Karen Davis
UP staff writer
Dale Adams, candidate for
Lamar’s associate vice president
and dean of students, said student
affairs people should be the human
growth and development people on
campus.
Adams spoke to students in an
open forum March 31.
“We are colleagues with our facul-
ty in promoting growth,” Adams
said.
He also stressed his concern with
quality of campus life as a student
affairs professional.
“I think student affairs people are
consumer advocates,” Adams said.
“A lot of us in higher education don’t
think of ourselves as a commodity,
but we are.”
Adams is associate vice president
for student development at Universi-
ty of Louisville and said student life
there is comparable to that at
Lamar.
“Most of our students con.
from the urban area,’.’ Adams &
'‘You’ve got to go out and get cum-
muter students. You have to be very
intrusive and aggressive,” he said.
“If your organizations are weak,
Dale Adams
you’re not going to do it.”
Adams said he thinks drug and
alcohol education programs at the
college level are an important part
of student services.
“The college campus — as an en-
vironment where so many people
are making those decisions — can-
not be in denial, it cannot be an
enabling environment,” he said.
Adams sees retention as a major
issue at Lamar.
“It’s a lot cheaper to retain a stu-
dent than to recruit one,” he said.
Adams advocates access to stu-
dent activities for part-time students
and student participation in high-
level planning committees.
“My job is to make sure the stu-
dent is heard and that they have the
best information available,” Adams
said.
Adams earned his doctorate from
the University of Cincinnati in 1972.
He has served in administrative
positions for 10 years at University
of Louisville.
Other finalists for the position at
Lamar are Joseph Kavanaugh,
assistant vice president of student
affairs at Loyola University; Robert
DeBard, associate professor of
education and dean of student
development at Old Dominion
University; and Frank Rincon, dean
of students and an instructor at
Fairleigh Dickinson University.
Student teachers need to apply
Persons who expect to student
teach in fall 1988 or spring 1989
should apply immediately, Lee Self,
director of field experience in the
College of Education, said.
“The official deadline is May 1,
but it would be helpful if attention is
given to this matter right away and
before that time,” Self said.
“The university guarantees all
qualified persons the opportunity to
student-teach next year during
either semester, provided that the
May 1 deadline is met.”
Self also responded to concerns
»iat the college would be unable to
fund an adequate number of student
teaching sections.
“This situation no longer exists,”
he said.
Self said student teaching ap-
plicants should contact him in his of-
fice, 206 Education Budding.
