The Battalion Friday, July 12,1991 Page 6 System faculty strive for integral part in chancellor-choosing process Continued from page 1 without their help, despite as surances to the contrary. In a January letter to then Board chairman William McKen zie, the Faculty Senate Executive Committee wrote, "Faculty members are the heart of any university system and, as such, their involvement in the selec tion of a chancellor is essential. The Executive Committee appre ciates the assurances it has re ceived from the Board that fac ulty, indeed, have an integral role to play in the search for the chancellor." Alexander said there is noth ing the faculty can do except state its point of view to the re gents. "And we will continue to res tate our view," she said. The faculty at Galveston is "systematically excluded from any participation" in choosing people for jobs like the chan cellor, Johnson said. "This is the way things have been done for a long time," he said. "It's just more of the same. We never have been involved, never will be." Keith also said faculty mem bers at Tarleton State are rarely, if ever, consulted about System- level decisions, but he hopes for a remedy. "This past year there has been talk of a System Senate," he said. "In that regard, it might provide better communication and hope fully, allow us some input." None of the faculty leaders said they had a preference for the next chancellor, but A&M's Faculty Senate has made it clear it wants an academic in the posi tion. "Leading candidates for the position of chancellor will have distinguished records of teach ing and scholarship commensu rate with a faculty appointment at the rank of tenured profes sor," the letter from the Exec utive Committee states. Richardson has been deputy chancellor for engineering and dean of the College of Engi neering since 1984. Before com ing to A&M, he was associate dean of engineering at Massa chusetts Institute of Technology, where he still holds a professor emeritus title. Davis, who earned three de grees from A&M, has been dep uty chancellor for finance and administration since 1987. Before that, he was the University's vice president for fiscal affairs. Gen. Richards retired a four- star general in 1989 following a stint as deputy commander-in chief of the U.S. European Com mand in Germany. He also served as the commandant of ca dets at the Air Force Academy in Colorado. Hiler has served as interim chancellor since Jan. 1 when Dr. Perry Adkission resigned. He also holds the joint title of dep uty chancellor for academic pro gram planning and research. Be fore that, he was head of A&M's Department of Agricultural En gineering. Court fines $20,000 for patient dumping NEW ORLEANS (AP) —- A Texas doctor who "dumped" a dangerously hypertensive woman in labor to another hospital must pay the $20,000 fine imposed by the U.S. health department, a federal appeals court has ruled. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the penalty imposed on Dr. Michael L. Burditt for sending Rosa Riv era, who had no regular doc tor and no way to pay one, from the hospital where he worked to one 170 miles away. Mrs. Rivera's baby was de livered about 40 miles into the trip from DeTar to John Sealy.

Seven of the City Council's 14 members said through aides that Gates should go, either immedi ately or once a successor is found. "There's more political will to make changes than there has ever been before," said Katha rine Macdonald, an aide to Councilman Zev Yaroslavsky. The report "legitimizes a lot of peopled concerns," she said. Of the remaining seven coun cil members, one pledged his support, three refused to take a stand and the other three couldn't be reached.

Even with the equipment res ervoir, Hann said the state will not be able to handle a spill the size of the Exxon Valdez disaster for several years. "We've been a long way from being able to handle a large spill for a long time," he said. "We will only get to that level if all the ? arties involved work together. hat means the state, the federal government and the Marine Spill Response Corp." Hann said, however, the oil industry has come a long way in its cleanup policies. After a spill one quarter the size of the Val dez in 1984, there was no at tempt at a cleanup until the oil had washed ashore. "It was cheaper to let the oil go ashore before cleaning it up," he said. "The industry, however, has realized this procedure is no longer acceptable. Today's more environmentally conscious pub lic won't allow it, either." Hann said the industry has been forced to do some growing up. "The industry's attitude is sig nificantly more enlightened than it was 10 years ago," he said. "The oil companies are matur ing, and realizing they must do something." U.S., Soviets negotiate Baker remains hopeful about treaty, summit WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. and Soviet leaders set their sights on a completed missile-re duction treaty, and a summer summit in Moscow as Secretary of State James A. Baker III began a new round of negotiations Thursday with Soviet Foreign Minister Alexander A. Bessmert nykh. "I wish I could stand here and predict for you we can achieve that result. Baker said at the outset. "I cannot." Bessmertnykh called on Presi dent Bush at the White House and then went to the State De partment for hard bargaining with Baker over a handful of stubborn issues that stand in the way of a finished treaty. "It always gets tougher as you get to the end game," Baker told members of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee before going on to the State Depart ment to meet with Bessmert nykh, who was rushed here by Soviet President Mikhail S. Gor bachev to push the treaty along. Baker said the principal hangup concerns telemetry, or the information sent from mis siles while they are being tested. The issue is now much of the data can be disguised and kept from the other side. "It has major verification con sequences," Baker told the sen ators. But he said he hoped it and the other outstanding issues could be resolved "so there can be a summit before the August break." Speaking of Bush and Gorbachev, Baker added: "That's what they both want to do." Bush and Baker are planning to begin their vacations Aug. 9. "We're not going to rush it," Baker said. "We're not going to push it beyond what we think is responsible and prudent, be cause we think it's too impor tant." Besides the telemetry issue, the remaining problems include the number of warheads to be carried by some missiles and the definition of new missiles. The United States wants as much data from flight tests as it can get and would like to restrict the Soviets' flexibility to load up missiles in the event of a crisis. "These are very tough issues," Baker said Wednesday. "They are issues that have to be re solved satisfactorily as far as we are concerned." Bush has said he wants the arms-reduction negotiations wrapped up before he meets with Gorbacnev in Moscow for a superpower summit. "I still remain convinced it is in our interest to have a meeting with President Gorbachev in Moscow because there are so many other issues that we need to discuss," Bush said. The president said some of the remaining treaty differences "are so technical, we've got to rely on the experts." Nerd House by Tom A.
