May7,t??3/Volume $$> Number 44 Western Washington University please recycle Three finalists in running to replace Mortimer By Karl Schweizer campus government editor The Presidential Search Committee selected three finalists for Western's presidency. The first to visit Western, Provost Melvyn Schiavelli, will meet the public at a forum 3 p.m. Monday in Lecture Hall 4. William and Mary Student President Lisa Goddard called Schiavelli "incredibly intelligent" during a telephone interview. "Don't try to pull something over on him," she said. When asked about Schiavelli's accessibility, Goddard said he works more with faculty than students. She characterized him as "a nice man. ... I think you guys would be lucky to have him as president," she said. The second finalist to visit, Provost Karen Morse of Utah State, was described as "constant and efficient" by Jennifer Kohler, the editor of Utah State's newspaper. Kohler said Morse was "not one to hide out in her office." The third finalist is Provost Henry Roland of Miami University in Ohio. Grace Trocolo, Miami's executive vice-president, said Henry was "terribly friendly" even though he seemed "a bit dry until you get to know him," she said. Schiavelli, a chemistry professor, has been provost of the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va. since 1986. He begins his visit to Western with a May 9 meeting with the board of trustees. Afterward, he will be lost in a raging sea of meals and meetings with the Associated Students, the Faculty Senate, the Administrators Association, and numerous other groups from on and off-campus. He will tour the campus at 9 a.m. Monday with Acting President Roland DeLorme. Morse,achemistryprofessor,received her Ph.D in 1967 from the University of Michigan. She will visit Western May 16- 18, meeting the public Monday, May 17 at 3 p.m. in Lecture Hall 4. Roland is a theoretical atomic physicist. See CANDIDATES, page 3 flllllf^^ Trustees want orientation fee By Danette Reeff staff reporter When Western welcomes approximately 3,000 new students next fall, they will be presented with a new $45 orientation fee. The fee, proposed to the board of trustees by Marie Eaton, vice president of Student Affairs, is expected to generate approximately $135,000. Projected state budget cuts prompted the fee, said Connie Copeland, associate to the vice president of Student Affairs. "We'll be looking at shifting current funding for orientation to compensate for those cuts," Copeland said. "It hasn't been totally earmarked yet. We don't know exactly how much of that money will be used to offset the state cuts and how much will go back into the programs." Although it hasn't been decided how the money will be spent, at least a portion will go toward improving the orientation program. Since freshman will no longer be charged $40 for Summer Start, the fee will offset the nearly $50,000 normally collected. Copeland said she didn't know how much Summer Start costs the school. "We're trying to preserve and improve the orientation program," Copeland said. The orientation for transfer students is not expected to change this fall, but a summer program for transfer students will be implemented in summer 1994. In the face of tuition and housing hikes, students are concerned about the new fee even though they will not be impacted. "I think it's ridiculous," said Fairhaven student August Wegener. "I could understand it if the university had the monies earmarked for something in particular." "I'm being as up front as I can at this point, (about where the money is going)" Copeland said. "We just don't know yet." Some students said they didn't feel orientation was worthwhile.. "It's not worth $45," said Western student Kim Bilyeu. "They didn't help me academically." Some, hCivever, said orientation was a good social experience. "The friends I made at Summer S tart are sti 11 m y best friends," Wegener said. Fired cop sues Western for his job Russ Martin, former public safety director at Western who was forced to resign last year, is suing to get his job back. Martin resigned in January, 1992 after being cited for shoplifting a pack of cigarettes from Ennen's Market. Charges were dropped, however, after he passed a lie-detector test. According to a story run last year in the Front, Martin was also forced to repay hundreds of dollars in personal long-distance phone calls he charged to the university. According to court documents, officials at Western gave Martin a choice between resigning or being fired. If he chose to resign, officials agreed they wouldn't comment on the firing or his job performance, and he would be given six months of severance pay. The suit states Martin resigned but was unaware he was entitled to the money if he was fired. The suit also states Western officials made statements to the media about him that were false, defamatory and were an invasion of his privacy. The lawsuit states Martin lost his job and other employment opportunities because the incident damaged his reputation. The suit asks for unspecified damages, attorney's fees, and seeks to reinstate Martin in his job. Material for this story was contributed by Lezlie Fox ofKGMI radio ^fvpi races undeci a majority vote By Karl Schweizer campus government editor Arecord numberof students cast ballots Tuesday and Wednesday during the Associated Students election. Of 10,860 eligible voters, 3,068, or 28.2 percent, voted, said Election Board chair Tiffany Gerrish. The races for AS President and AS Vice President for External Affairs did not have clear winners because none of the candidates received a majority of the votes — 50 percent or more. ''^•'•:Winners:of::the'two positions will be determined in a run-off election next Wednesday. In the presidential race, Keith Boyd received 1,035 votes to Ken Wood's 1,023 votes, or 34 percent arid 33 percent, respectively. James Walsh pulled in 880 votes, or 29 percent. Boyd will face off against either Wood or Walsh for the presidency, depending on the outcome of a complaint against Wood. Wood was accused of violating the AS election code by campaigning within 25 feet of a polling place. If the Election Board finds Wood in violation, it could disqualify him from running, and Walsh would run against Boyd. The board will make its decision Monday at 9 a.m. The location was tentatively set in VU 408. In the race for Vice President of External Affairs, Tres Gallant may face Jason Hansen next week. Gallant garnered 46 percent of the vote, while Hansen got 26 percent. Rob Sorensen, with 21 percent, was knocked out of the race, but he could be back, because Hansen's future, like Wood's, is in doubt. Hansen turned in his campaign See ELECTIONS, page 2 iiiiiililiiii
