Dilemma '79 speakers roster finalizedIn addition to Ron Nessen and

Daniel Schorr, five more speakershave been confirmed as partici-pants in Dilemma '79. They are Dr.Arlene Kaplan Daniels, sociologyprofessor at NorthwesternUniversity; Reg Murphy, publisherand editor of The San FranciscoExaminer; Howard Simons,managing editor of The Washing-ton Post; John Tebbel, author andretired journalism professor; andDr. Richard Zakia, photographyprofessor at the Rochester Instituteof Technology.

As publisher and editor of The

Frazier-Jelke Science CenterLecture Room B was filled withconcerned students, facultymembers, and members of theadministration at 3:00 Wednesdayafternoon during a meeting of theSGA. The gathering was aquestion-and-answer session todiscuss the Board of Trustees'recently adopted policies of tenureand related matters.

Among those present were thethree student Board members,Carolyn Crenshaw, Dan Cogswell,and Ralph Jones; faculty Boardmembers Professors MarshallJones, Bernice White, and KenWilliams; Board member CharlesP. Cobb; and President James H.Daughdrill.

SGA president Chris Kingcalled the meeting to order, andCogswell gave a short history ofthe situation. The floor was thenopened up for questions andcomments.

Questions were primarily fromthe students and were answered bythe faculty members present,Board members, and the president,although some questions from thefaculty were addressed to PresidentDaughdrill.

Among questions most oftenraised was that concerning thechanges in policy for the academictenure of the Dean of the college.Also of apparent concern was the

San Francisco Examiner, RegMurphy has been described bymedia experts as "an innovator"and a "newspaper doctor." He wasthe political editor and later editorof The Atlanta Constitution duringthe 1960's and early 1970's.Murphy is probably best known forthe time he was kidnapped whilehe was editor of the Contitution in1974. He has also worked intelevision and co-authored a book,The Southern Strdtegy.

Howard Simons has beenmanaging editor of the Washing-ton Post since 1971. In the late

reason for the new 67% workinggoal among tenured faculty.

Professor Jack U. Russellstated that he felt the adoption ofsuch a goal will make it difficult torecruit qualified new facultymembers for any appreciablelength of time, since their tenurewill seem based on this figure. Hesaid that there was now a "greatchasm between faculty andadministration," and that it willnot close until a solution is reached.Professor Russell expressed the

. feeling that the studentevaluations, as they will be drawnup and used in accordance with thenew rulings, are a "seriousmistake." He encouraged studentsto seriously think about the resultsof the evaluations and decide forthemselves whether they should beused in such a way.

President Daughdrill deniedthe projected misuse of theevaluations and showed severaldifferent forms of evaluation,citing the advantages anddisadvantages of each.

Again the matter of academictenure for administrative positionswas brought up, and the presidentresponded by showing selectionsfrom the Kiest Report, a guidelinethat the president has consultedthroughout his work on the tenuresituation. Professor Jones andseveral students pointed out what

1950's his journalism workcentered around science. He was areporter and later editor of ScienceService, science reporter for TheWashington Post, and columnistfor New Scientist. He has writtentwo hooks, and worked as a visitingprofessor at Syracuse University.Both Murphy and Simons havehad Nieman Fellowships atHarvard University.

John Tebbel began working fornewspapers at 14, and has beeninvolved in journalism ever since.He has worked for Newsweek, TheDetroit Free Press, The New York

they felt were discrepanciesbetween the president's interpreta-tion and the report itself, to whichthe president responded that anydiscrepancies were ones which heand the Board had worked out.

Mr. Cobb spoke on behalf of theBoard, saying that. he felt theirdecision had been carefullypondered and that it will serve theneeds of the school in the future. Hesaid that attempts such as this oneand the $20 million capital fundsdrive were the ways in which theBoard hoped to deal with theexpected financial problems of the1980's.

Students and faculty alikeexpressed the feeling that thefaculty had not been heard as theyshould have in the matter, and thatthe amendation of the proposalfrom the Board Committee onFaculty and Educational Programhad been, in effect, ignored. Mr.Cobb said that the Board hadcarefully considered all alterna-tives and felt that the decisionreached was the best one possible.

In response to a questionabout the Board's attitude to theidea of tenure itself, Mr. Cobb saidthat the Board supported thestatement in the approved policywhich states that they "reaffirmedtheir commitment to presentlytenure faculty."

The meeting adjourned at 5:00.

Times, the old American Mercury,and other publications. Tebbel hastaught at the Columbia School ofJournalism, and New YorkUniversity. He has written someforty books of his own, and asmany incollaboration with otherpeople. He currently directs NewYork University's Summer BookPublishing Workshop.

To the Editor of the Sou'wester:In the interest of upholding

creditable and refined journalism, Imust object to the photographwhich appeared on page 2 of the 12January 1979 issue of theSou'wester. The picture is not onlyoffensive, but no cutline is includedwith the photograph, and noreference is made to it in any of thecopy throughout the paper. Theinclusion of such irrelevant andgauche material is indicative of anapathetic attitude toward thequality of your newspaper.

Articles throughout theSou'wester also begin to reflect thetastes of the contributors,photographers, and editors, whichfall far below acceptablejournalistic standards. Indeed, thecontent of the publication isseemingly dictated by thedilettantism of a hopefully

unrepresentative few in yourhighly-rated (academically)school.

I would encourage you toconsider carefully what will be thefuture of the Sou'wester. I haveenjoyed the paper (particularly thecurriculum and lecture informa-tion, and the sports writings ofBoyd Chitwood, who has yet toallow his comments to reflect theapparently prevalent attitude ofhis colleaugues), and would hate tosee its downfall continue. Surelynot all at Southwestern are of oneaccord. What do other students andfaculty say about this matter?

Sincerely,A. Mastizo

Wednesday afternoon's SGA meeting was surelyan education for most of the students there. Althoughstudents had at least a vague notion that somethingwas going between faculty and administration, thisgathering affirmed in the minds of the student body theseriousness of the matter.

At this point, the most important action forstudents to take is merely to keep the issue in mind. It isdifficult to discern what a reasonable course of actionwould be at this time. Technically, we are on the outsidelooking in, but of course this decision by the Board willinfluence us immeasurably in the long run. We cannotsit idly by; neither can we act rashly.

We have been raised on the view espoused in the'60's that students must have a cause celebre,something for which they will fight, literally to thedeath in some cases. No matter how tempting it may bein this case to catch the falling banner of the lastdecade, we must exercise restraint. Our concern mustarise from a genuine interest in the problem at hand,not from'a vacuum that this unfortunate turn of eventswill be suitable to fill.

It seemed that among some students at themeeting Wednesday , this poor attitude was in control.The meeting was not meant to be a roast of thepresident and Board member, but occasionally itacquired that flavor. Some of the comments expressed

more of a personal indignation and anger thancuriousity about the real questions. Personal angermay be justifiable to some .sll degree, but its.expression need not be made; At least we must insome manner admire the president and Board memberfor showing up at all; their attendance reinforces theimportance of our opinion.

The suggestion regarding the boycotting ofstudent evaluations is definitely a good one. Theconcept of student evaluations is in itself good, but theevaluation questionnaire was designed so that theclassroom performance of a professor would be judgedboth qualitatively and quantitatively; it seemsdoubtful that this is to be carried out. Boycottinghas its dangers as well; if there is hot a completeboycott, the unrepresentative results could be moredangerous than a full complement of student opinions.This, however, would be a start.

Boycotting is a passive action, and although itexpresses a dissatisfaction, it expresses no other morepositive criticism. We must now begin to formulateideas that will adequately express student opinion andpossibly have an effect on the Board's view of theproblem. The best avenues of communication arethrough the newspaper and the SGA. Group action isimperative. Although this may be a ratherbureaucratic viewpoint on our part, it is the only way tobe heard in a bureaucracy.

'Stamp our jargonization;'the war on jargon escalates(CPS) -- The way University ofCincinnati's Dr. John McCall seesit, he's just "taking someproactive steps to enhance theUniversity's, output with simplerinput on the part of facilitators." Inother words, he wants theUniversity to starting saying whatit means.

McCall is one of a burgeoningnumber of educators who havebegun an active attack on"jargonization." In plain English,"jargonization" means the use ofspecialized, complicated terms foreveryday activities. Educators areworried that such speech maymake functional illiterates out ofstill more people. Some even fearthat jargon could be used bypowerful special interest groups to"bend the truth without evenlying."

Thus, an unofficial movement *

to stamp out jargon is taking form,and its proponents include not onlyEnglish teachers, but those whoare often most guilty of "languagepollution," administrators andgovernment officials. While somedoubt the use of jargon can beharnessed (MassachusettsInstitute of Technology professorThomas Postlewait says fightingitis "about as wise as the charge ofthe Light Brigade:), others areoptimistically taking the first stepsagainst jargon.

McCall has begun by levying25¢ fines against University ofCincinnati administrators anddeans who use the words "input" or"feedback" in other than theiraccurate, technical meaning.Furthermore, if the offending wordis on multiple copies, it results in an

additional one cent fine per copy.That's just for January. In

February, the targets are improperusages of "hopefully" and"proactive," McCall warns.

McCall says his plan isworking. Already an administratorrecessed a meeting briefly tocollect a fine from anotheradministrator who reported an"input." One dean sent McCall adollar as advance payment for fourmistakes he felt certain he wouldmake.

McCall himself has been finedfor a sentence in a letter he co-signed: "It is also worth noting thatcourse work in English as a secondlanguage is offered for studentswho academic progress might beenhanced by supplementing theircommunicative skills.

Meanwhile, the New YorkTimes reports that the NationalCouncil of Teachers of Englishoperates a thriving Committee onPublic Doublespeak. TheCommittee urges its members towatch their own language, as wellas that of their students. TheNCTE also awards annualDoublespeak trophies to prominentjargon-users.

President Carter has alsoasked government officials to writetheir documents in clear language.U.S. Education CommissionerErnest Boyer is keeping the faithby conducting clear-writingseminars for key staff members.

The man who popularized thiswar on jargon, broadcaster EdwinNewman, is still reportedly bookedmonths in advance in his nation-wide lecturing tour. Newman, whowrote two books on the subject,speaks, of course, on the language.

Women are in majority ofATLANTA--Women are now in themajority of college students in theSouth, according to an analysis bythe Southern Regional EducationBoard (SREB) of preliminarystatistics of last fall's collegiateenrollment.

The SREB analysis also notesthat, although there weresignificant declines in the numberof full-time students attendingSouthern institutions, they wereoffset by continued increases inpart-time enrollment, which wasup 5.6 percent in the South.

Thus, enrollment in highereducation remained essentiallyunchanged in the fall of 1978 overlevels in the previous year, both inthe South and the nation. Exceptfor 1975, when there was a 10percent increase in enrollmentnationwide, the college populationhas not grown as dramatically inthe 1970s as in the 1960s.

In 1978, the total headcountenrollment in the South increasedonly about one-half of one percentto about 2,950,000 students.Nationally, enrollment declined by60,000 students, or less than 1percent, out of a total headcountenrollment of more than 11 million.

The increase in part-time studyin 1978 was not enough to counterthe decline in full-time students,when the enrollment figures wereconverted to full-time-equivalent(FTE) terms -- which generallyserve as the basis on which publicinstitutions receive state funding.When viewed from a full-time-equivalent student perspective,both the nation and the Southregistered enrollment -declines in1978 -- of 1.8 and 1 percent,respectively.

The small changes noted at thenational and regional levels maskconsiderable fluctuation amongthe states and among kinds ofinstitutions. In the South, changesin total enrollment in the publicsector (which accounts for 85percent of all enrollment) rangedfrom a 4.7 percent increase inVirginia (one of the mostsignificant in the nation) to adecline of 4.5 percent in WestVirginia. Nine of the 14 SREBstates experienced declines orminimal increases (1 percent orless).

Fluctuations in enrollmentwere noted in the two-year collegesector, where the studentpopulation dropped by nearly 20percent in West Virginia and 10percent in Kentucky. Substantialdeclines in two-year collegeenrollment were also noted inArkansas, Georgia, and Louisiana.By contrast, significant enrollmentgrowth continued in the two-yearinstitutions in Florida, Tennessee,and Virginia.

Enrollment in private collegesand universities showed littlechange nationwide. In the South,eight of 14 states experiencesdeclines, and six showed increases.

A drop in the number of malestudents enrolling full-timeaccounts for changes in manystates. For example, publicinstitutions in the South registereda 4 percent decline in full-time maleenrollment in 1978, compared to1977 levels. But this decline wasbalanced by significant increasesin the enrollment of women,especially of those attending part-time.

Four sports programs overspend budget ...The four fall sports programs

and the training room overspenttheir budgets by more than 25%,forcing cuts in the other sports tostay within the total budget.

Statistics from the Decemberfinancial report indicate overrunstotaling $8,558.15, but reductionsin other areas have left Dean ofStudents Anne Marie Willifordoptimistic about possiblerestorations to the depleted sports.

Dean Williford blamed theexcesses on inflation, particularlyduring travel, unrealistically lowbudgeting, and the encumberedbudget which delays preciseaccounting for almost a monthpast the end of the period.

In addition, althouth sheapproves all purchase requests, theindividual coaches are responsiblefor controlling their spending.Dean Williford said that the finalaway football game in Terre Haute,Ind., was financed outside of thedepleted budget. The soccer teamoverspent by 36% partly becausethe coach, Sepp Huber, thought hisbudget was $1,000 more than theactual figure of $5,100.

Dean Williford issued a memoon December 19 to the coachesdetailing the budget reductions.The budgets for the men's andwomen's tennis teams were cut 15%

to $1,666. The men's basketballteam allowance was also cut 15% to$11,246.

The basketball budget wasreduced 15% to $4,144, while thegolf program's budget was cut theamount of the cross country excess,$306.71, to $2,063.29. The women'sbasketball team's budget wassliced the amount of the volleyballoverspending, $992.56, to$2,142.44.

In addition, the training room,which by the end of December hadspend $1,002 more than its allotted$2,850, was restricted to purchasesof tape and pre-wrap. Therecruiting budget was cut back by$500 to $1,590, and restrictions

were placed on staff privelegessuch as long-distance phone calls,"NCAA Special Trip Money," and"$50 authorization by staffmembers."

Dean Williford said that therevised budgets are not definite.The February report, which willarrive in mid-March, will bestudied to see if the recent measureshave left additional funds for thespring sports.

Overrun totals and percent-ages of the budgets according to theDecember financial report:football, $4,450, 18%; volleyball,$992.56, 67%; soccer, $1,806.88, 36%;training room, $1,002, 35%; crosscountry, $306.71, 17%.

Spending on(CPS)--It took Eastern CarolinaUniversity student Debbie Newbymonths of petitioning and pleadingto get action on violations of a lawthat had been on the books for sixyears.

In the end, Newby, along withfour other ECU students,persuaded ECU administrators tobegin treating the gross inequitiesbetween women's and men's sports-- differences they knew wereprohibited by federal Title IX of theEducation Amendments of 1972.

Lack of awareness andconcern about Title IX may haveblocked broad implementatin ofTitle IX, observers say, but themost potent factor may be the lackof guidance and enforcement fromthe federal government.

Since its passage in 1972, TitleIX has prohibited sex discrimina-tion in schools receiving federalsupport. Yet it took three years forthe U.S. Department of Health,Education, and Welfare (HEW) tocome up with how-to rules,whereupon it gave schools threeyears to comply with the regs.

Thus, the new equal-spendingrule is turning a lot of heads inathletics departments and inintercollegiate athletic organiza-tions. Many men's athleticdirectors fear it will "force them to

women's sports unequalweaken men's programs substan-tially in order to pump more moneyinto women's programs," asWilliam Davis, president of theUniversity of New Mexico and amember of the Office of CivilRights task force on Title IX warns.

However, the big gameenthusiasts may have little toworry about. The new Title IX regsalso allow unequal spending if thedifferences are "based on non-discriminary factors such as thecosts of a particular sport, or thescope of competition (national asopposed to local or regional)." This"loophole," say many women'sathletic directors, will allowcontinued large-scale funding tomaintain the big-time male sports.

Gloria Ray, director ofwomen's athletics at theUniversity of Tennessee,acknowledges that sports such asfootball require more money. Buton expenses are deducted, she toldthe Chronicle of Higher Education,"you should get a realistic figurefor what a fair, equal-per-capitaexpenditure should be under TitleIX proposals."

Which sounds a lot like DebbyNewby's theory. The ECUwomen's athletic department'sbudget has doubled since hercomplaint, as has the scholarship

fund. It gets recruitment money forthe first time. The basketball teamnow has a full-time coach, andwomen in ECU's eight sports willbe able to use three locker rooms,instead of one. According toNewby, it's possible for fivestudents and a lot of time andpatience to make an impact whereHEW can't.
