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.

Opposition
grows to oust
Chief Gates
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Calls
for Police Chief Daryl Gates' res
ignation mounted Wednesday,
one day after a panel that inves
tigated a video-taped beating
said his departure would help
reduce racism and brutality by
police officers.
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. A 15th
council seat is vacant.

Coast Guard receives
cleanup equipment
Continued from page 1
"The tax is in place now, it just
has to be built up to the right lev
el."
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."
