              THE LOYOLA MAROON VOLUME 69, NO. 22 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 70118 April 19, 1991 Dean search narrowed to five By Amy Young Staff writer The search committee fora new dean for the College of Arts and Sciences announced the list of candidates for the position Thursday at an Arts and Sciences faculty assembly. The nine-member search committee, composed of seven faculty members and two students, narrowed the number of applicants from 72 to five. The candidates are Dennis Cashman, John Haeger, Frederick Kitterle, Robert Rowland,, and Kenneth Seib. Dr. Lydia Voigt, chairperson of both the sociology department and the selection committee, said the search committee, as well as the president, vice presidents, the Dean's Council, and other constituencies will meet with the five candidates during their visit to campus from April 22 to 24. Students and faculty will also have a chance to meet the candidates, Voigt said. The candidates will each give a presentation at an open forum on April 23, at 12:30 p.m. in the Audubon Room in the Danna Center, she said. "We've tried to set up a situation where faculty, students and administrators all have a chance to give input on the selection," Voigt said. She said the committee plans to distribute questionnaires to gather the information. Patrick Bourgeois, philosophy professor and member of the search committee, said the committee considers faculty and student feedback important in selecting the new dean. "We want feedback," Bourgeois said. "All committee members are open to the comments of faculty and students." Voigt projected that the new dean will be hired by the end of this semester. "After they visit the campus, the committee will submit three candidates' names — probably ranked," Voigt said. But she said the Rev. George F. Lundy S.J., senior vice president and dean of Faculties, has the final say. William Eidson, former dean of Arts Home at last— Cpl.

The seat will allow the student to attend Board meetings and voice student opinion. According to nominating procedures approved by the Board and given to the Maroonby Vincent Knipfing, vice president for Student Affairs Wednesday, the student observer will not vote or attend the executive session portions during the Board meetings. The procedure requires the SGA to nominate three students to the Student Affairs Committee of the Board each year in preparation for the March meeting of the full Board. Knipfing said the nominating procedures can be changed by the Student Affairs Committee of the Board. According to the procedures, undergraduate students nominated for the seat must have completed three semesters at Loyola at the time of their nomination. Law students and graduate students must have completed one semester at the time of their nomination. Vandersand said he will take nominations for the seat until April 29. He said candidates should submit one-page resumes. One student submitted a resume, Vandersand said, but he refused to reveal the name. He said he was unsure whether or not he would have the time to submit the nominees' names by the end to the year. "I'd like to get it done now to ease the pressure off next year's president," Vandersand said. "If nothing else, they [next year's Congress] can have a stack of nominations," he said. According to the procedure, the Student Affairs Committee of the Board will SGA race results in run-off By Stephanie Harper Staff writer The election for president of the Student Government Association ended in a run-off April 17. Jim Dugan, communications junior, received 479 votes and B.C. Stolberg, political science junior, received 381 votes to force a run-off. "I'm very grateful that the students of Loyola brought me this far," Dugan said. Stolberg said, "It's been a good race and both candidates have good ideas." Erika Schwarz, communications sophomore, won the election for senior congressperson-at-large. "I'd like to work toward getting phone registration for Loyola," Schwarz said. "It's been brought up before, and I'd really like to get it started." Schwarz will also work towards implementing a dry-run shuttle for Loyola similar to the one that currently operates at Tulane. She said a shuttle to and from bars at night would be especially useful to new Loyola students. "Loyola has the money (to implement the shuttle), it just needs to be put in the budget," Schwarz said. Chris Smith, political science junior, Tanya Mascarich, English junior, and Matt Lambert, history junior were elected as congress persons-at-large. Elections for president of the business school also ended in a run-off.
