Olscamp defends student trustees MARK WILBANKS WESTERN'S NEW PRESIDENT may be on a collision course with the legislature over student representation in college administration. Paul Olscamp, who will replace College President Charles J. Flora in July, is currently vice-chancellor for student programs at Syracuse University in New York. He was responsible for the appointment of three students as consultants to the Board of Trustees there. In Washington, however, the legislature apparently views student trusteeships as a conflict of interest. Gov. Dan Evans nominated Catherine Hunter, a full-time student at Central Washington State College, to her college's Board of Trustees. Like all gubernatorial nominations, it was subject to approval by the legislature and was referred to the appropriate standing committee for voting recommendation. The Higher Education Committee of the Washington State Senate, chaired by Gordon San-dison, D-Port Angeles, fielded the nomination and returned a "don't confirm" recommendation. "It was felt that her interests as a student would be at odds with her interests as a trustee," a spokesman for Sandison's office said. Despite the Higher Education Committee recommendation, no vote has been called for. As a result, Hunter continues to serve as a trustee. She was sent a letter by the Senate Rules Committee asking her if she would remove herself from the post. She replied that she would not. "She has excellent qualifications and a strong background," Jo Garceau, special assistant to Evans, said. "The governor felt that she would be an enhancement to the Board of Trustees. He certainly doesn't see any conflict of interest." OLSCAMP AGREES. "I have nothing against student trusteeship," he said. "Historically, derivation of income determines conflict of interest." He does BOARD OP TRUSTEES you Hyiow about skoals, yotcre. oviy -&+uciekts. think that faculty trusteeships are a clear conflict of interest. Olscamp said there are differences between the Boards of Trustees here and at Syracuse. Syracuse's board has 68 members appointed by college officials, while Western's only five members, all nominated by the governor and confirmed by the legislature. "I don't know what recommendations I will make," Olscamp said. "It depends on what I learn when I get there. I do feel that the board has to have access to current student opinion." Olscamp said if he decided to ask the governor to nominate a student to the board, he wouldn't wait for a vacancy, but would recommend that the board be enlarged to six or seven members. To do that, he would need the support of the board and the consent of the faculty and the college community. "I want to just face things as they come," Olscamp said. C western / tront TUESDAY, APRIL 22,1975 Vol. 67 No. 38 Ten Cents Proposal could save students money SHERRY WICKWIRE Students won't be stuck with an expensive textbook they can no longer use, if a proposal to adopt a standardized textbook policy is approved. On April 7 the Associated Student caucus passed a resolution to implement a standardized textbook pollicy. It is supported by the AS Board and the bookstore. "The resolution states that the college should establish a standardized textbook adoption policy for lower division courses," Student Caucus Chairman Stephen J. Barrett said. Many times a text is selected on an "experimental" basis for one quarter. It the instructor is not satisfied with it, he opts for another text the next quarter. This is an expensive experiment, which the students end up paying for. In seeking to establish some degree of uniformity in the selection of textbooks, the Associated Students offered this example: "Fall quarter 1973, a department ordered 330 copies of a text of a 101 course with a cost of $13.95 to the student. The department dropped the book after one quarter. "At best, the student was able to sell this discounted book for $4. If the book were used for the whole year, the bookstore could have given the student $7. Students could save $20 per year if the policy is adopted, Barrett said. George Elliott, bookstore manager, agreed with this estimate. The policy would be flexible and leave room for possible exceptions, Barrett said. He said the Bookstore Council should have jurisdiction over the exceptions, thereby keeping informed on the use of the texts. The policy will be on the ballot for a student vote in the April 30 election. It will come before a college committee sometime the beginning of May. At that time students will have specific examples to present at the hearing. "The student caucus urges all students to use their opportunity to vote on this policy," Barrett said. Higher spring enrollment viewed as good omen Spring is supposedly the time when a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of love. And if one is a female enrolled at Western this particular spring—that is good to remember, because there are 4,267 men enrolled this quarter and only 3,914 women. Registrar Eugene Omey said spring quarter's enrollment of 8,181 is up from 7,727 last spring, an increase of 454 students. Of the underclassmen, juniors showed the greatest increase, from 1,620 students last year to 1,784, a jump of 164 students. Sophomores added an additional 147 students, increasing from 1,341 to a present 1,488. Freshmen number 75 students over last year, growing from 1,480 to 1,555. Seniors showed the only enrollment decline, with a drop from 1,943 last year to 1,790. However, Omey said, this "will give us a good base for next year." ANYONE CAN DO IT — Hawaiians dressed in grass skirts might have been more appropriate, but the fun remained as some of the 325 people who attended a luau found themselves in the spotlight during the Hukilau Song. The luau, held last Saturday in the VU lounge, was presented by the 32 members of Hui 'O Hawaii, Western's Hawaiian student organization. Dinner, which included many of the popular Hawaiian dishes, was followed by an hour of entertainment. The theme of the luau was Hawaii Aloha.
