Westgate Shopping Center next to Cargo Bay 268-4353 Summer Wrap-up Page 4 The Battalion Monday, August 30,1993 C.S. seeks to end A&M selects Sterling C. Evans library director free fire services Several College Station City Coun cil members expressed support at a council workshop on July 7 for a plan that would end the free fire and emer gency service provided to Texas A&M University for the past 22 years by the city of College Station. The city has provided the campus with free fire and emergency service since 1971, when the University shut down its own fire facility that had previously supported College Sta tion residents as well as Texas A&M property. Councilwoman Nancy Crouch told the members she felt the University should pay for at least the basic fire service the city provides, arguing that "3 percent of our budget is a subsidy to Texas A&M." Council members also discussed the possibility of a new College Sta tion fire facility to be built somewhere near Easterwood Airport to provide crash, fire and rescue services for the airport. The council discussed several al ternate plans to pay for the basic ser vice the city provides the campus, as well as the possible new facility. The plans ranged from an all city-funded fire program, which mayor Larry Ringer called "pessimistic" to a plan that would have Texas A&M building and operating a new fire station that would provide the airport with crash, fire and rescue service and the cam pus with fire and emergency protec tion. The plan would cost the Univer sity $2.3 million to build and $2.2 mil lion to operate, according to the city of College Station budget office. Ringer called this plan "optimistic" for the city. The new station would help Easter wood comply with new Federal Avia tion Administration regulations, which require airports to have personnel trained and approved to handle crash, fire and rescue situations. Dr. Fred M. Heath, former director the Texas Christian University Library, was selected earlier this month to take the place of Irene Hoadley as dean and director of Texas A&M's Sterling C. Evans Library. The library director is responsible for the management, operations and planning for Evans Library, which is the largest library in the A&M System. Hoadley resigned as director last year to head A&M's capital campaign, referred to as the "Cap ture the Spirit" campaign. Dr. E. Dean Gage, senior vice president and provost at A&M, said Heath was their first choice for the position. "We are very honored and excited to recruit the number one candidate as identified by the search committee," he said. He said the quality that stood out the most about Heath was his dedication to research, his knowledge in the field of electronic resources and his ability to handle the budget as it relates to the increasing cost of magazines and scholarly journals. Heath served as director of the library at TCU for six years. Prior to his term at TCU, he served as dean of the library facilities at the University of North Alabama for seven years and prior to that he served at several library facilities in Alabama and Virginia. Mosher Institute shuts down, unable to find alternate funds After a year of searching unsuccessfully for alternate sources of funding, the Mosher Institute for International Policy Studies at Texas A&M will all but shut down at the end of August. The institute, which provides education, research and coun seling concerning national security interests of the United States, will be functioning in name and will be recognized by the Uni versity but will not be involved in any major activities, said Dr. E. Dean Gage, vice president and provost for academic affairs. Gage predicted it will take at least a full year for the institute to raise the minimum $120,000 needed to reactivate it. Dr. Frank Vandiver, chairman of the board of advisers at the Mosher Institute, said the institute will have a secretary through August and hopes they keep their volunteers for as long as pos sible. "Our doors are still open," he said. "The problem is how we are going to continue with all of our obligations. Vandiver said he hopes the money needed to fund Mosher for another year is not beyond finding. "It's not a lot of money, but right now it seems like a gigantic amount," he said. The institute was originally funded by Ed Mosher, Class of '28, in 1988. The Mosher family agreed to provide an annual en dowment of $175,000 for 10 years. Vandiver said after five years the family's assets shrunk faster than they expected, and they had to curtail their commitment to the institute. He said the University has stepped up to help, but because of A&M's budget constraints, they were unable to fully support the institute.

Mobley decided on July 13 to keep Student Govern ment the only representative body for all full-time and part- time students amidst disagree ment from Graduate Student Council leaders. Student body president Brian Walker said he was was satisfied with Mobley's decision and is prepared to bring the two bodies together. "I think he recognizes the body should stay together as one," Walker said Wednesday. But Bonita McMullen, execu tive coordinator of the National Association of Graduate Students and past council president, said she was disappointed by Mob ley's decision. "I don't see it as a setback for the Graduate Student Council," McMullen said. "I see it as a set back for the University." The University's strategic goals include improving graduate education and increasing gradu ate enrollment, she said. Eric Laine, Graduate Student Council president, said the coun cil has never been a subset of Stu dent Government and should re main separate. They have remained separate because of Student Government's inability to attract graduate stu dents, he shid. "Student Government has had years to figure out a way to deal with graduate students," Laine said. "They have failed." Laine said graduate students differ from undergraduates in many ways including curricu lum, independent research and teaching. - J. Frank Hernandez Faculty criticize tenure system This June members of Texas A&M University's faculty criti cized A&M's tenure system for having unfair and unbalanced policies. Dr. Wendy Stock, assistant pro fessor of psychology, described the University's tenure system as "Ne anderthal and androcentric." Stock was denied tenure in January. The tenure committee said she did not have the type or number of publications required to obtain tenure. Stock described the conflict between devoting time to re search and to teaching in rela tion to acquiring tenure. She said it is unfair to place more emphasis on research at the ex pense of students. "I'm critical of the (tenure) criteria because it's not consis tent with what serves the Uni versity and students' needs," she said. "I think the University gives lip service to the value of teaching, yet it does not carry this out in its actions." Dr. Karl G. Hursey, a former assistant professor of psychology, was also denied tenure this year by the University. He said in a letter to former Dean of Liberal Arts Daniel Fallon that "it ap pears that the tenure decision was based solely on research publications." Senior Vice President and Provost Dr. E. Dean Gage dis agreed with the criticisms of the tenure process. "These statements are com pletely unfounded and unfair; there are multiple steps in the process," he said. However, Stock said, the Uni versity is losing talented people becaYise of the way the current tenure system is slanted.
