              THE LOYOLA MAROON VOLUME 69, N0.23 LOYOLA UNIVERSITY, NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA 70118 April 26, 1991 SGA approves second run-off By Angela Pulido Staff writer After two days of deliberation, the Student Government Association Court of Review ruled to hold another SGA presidential run-off election. Undergraduate students may vote again Wednesday and Thursday in front of the Danna Center and Stallings Hall. According the to run-off results posted in the SGA office last Friday, Jim Dugan, communications junior and SGA president-elect received 442 votes and B.C. Stolberg, political science junior, received 430 votes. "I do not contest this election on a basis of spite, grief, or in opposition of the other candidate," Stolberg said in an April 22 letter to David Vandersand, marketing and management senior and SGA president. "I question whether the voice of the students of Loyola was accurately heard," Stolberg stated in the letter. Stolberg outlined the following in his letter as his grounds for contesting the election: • The Law School voting booth was closed for over one hour on Thursday afternoon because no one appeared to work the poll. • The Law School booth was also closed a half hour early on Thursday evening. • The main campus voting booth was moved to a different location without notifying the students of its new location. • The initial tallying of the votes revealed a twenty vote discrepancy between casted votes and voles marked off on the voting list. The SGA Court of Review convened Tuesday to deliberate Stolberg's objections. After a retabulation of the votes and tally sheets, the eight members of the court dismissed the last objection, Vandersand said at the SGA meeting Tuesday. "The numbers were equal — 872 votes to 872 names Dean search candidates address issues By Amy Young Staff writer The four candidates competing for the position of Arts and Sciences dean spoke to an audience of over 300 faculty members and students at an open forum Tuesday. The search committee headed by Dr. Lydia Voigt, chairperson of the sociology department, asked each of the candidates to speak on what they believed were the major issues facing colleges of arts and sciences such as Loyola. The committee had narrowed the number of candidates from 72 to five, but Dr. John Hucgcr, of Central Michigan University, accepted a position at another university, leaving four candidates to vie for the position. Dr. Dennis Cashman, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and graduate school at Adclphi University, Garden City, N.Y., called for a reasscrtion of the importance of liberal arts and sciences. "I personally have a great fondness for a core curriculum," Cashman said. He said basic requirements at a university serve as drawing points for all students from different backgrounds. Cashman received his doctorate in American history from Oxford University. Cashman promised "open and easy access to the dean's office, in order to serve the interests, needs and aspirations of the students." Dr. Kenneth Seib, chairperson of the department of English at California State University, also emphasized the need for the dean to be approachable. "I am not a career administrator," Seib said. "I am a faculty member. I will be your colleague and friend." Seib, who received his Ph. D. in English from the University of Pittsburgh, said universities must deal with how to bring students up to international standards. He said Loyola students should have to take two natural sciences. Some Loyola students only have one required science course. Seib also said the number of women faculty members should parallel the percentage of women students, and the percentage of minority students should more evenly match the demographics of the area. Dr. Frederick Ketterle, chairperson of the department of psychology at the University of Toledo, and Dr. Robert Rowland, chairperson of classics and directorof archaeology at the University of Mary land, both spoke about the affordabilily of colleges and universities. Gee, that's a tough one — (from left) Dr. Dennis Cashman, Dr. Frederick Kitterle, Dr. Robert Roland, and Dr. Kenneth Seib, the four remaining candidates competing for the position of Arts and Sciences dean, take questions during the open forum Tuesday. Over 300 faculty members and students attended the forum, moderated by Dr. Lydia Voigt, chairperson of the sociology department. /Photo by Charles Baker Beggar ruling questioned, appealed By Elizabeth Mehaffey Editor in Chief The committee which fined two students $250 each for wearing Beggars fraternity baseball hats in a public park wasconvencdimpropcrly.mcmbcrs of the Arts and Sciences Assembly charged last week. The Board of Review, a Student Affairs committee which delivers punishments to students who violate university rules, fined Beggars fraternity members Joly Boglioli, finance sophomore, and Justin Homes, communications sophomore, for wearing their fraternity baseball hats in Audubon Park March 24. Student Affairs officials claimed they were violating the policy which prohibits promotion of non-recognized student organizations such as the Beggars when the studentsstudents stood at the gate of the baseball field. Dr. Marcus Smith, professor of English, said at the College of Arts and Sciences Assembly April 18 that he is a member of the Board of Review but was not informed the board was going to meet. Smith said that when he learned that the board had met. he called the office of Student Affairs. He said he was told that while he is still a member of the board, he was not contacted about the meeting because a new Student Affairs policy states that all members do not have to be contacted. "I learned that ... the new procedure for contacting members about the meeting was to just call people until they had enough for a quorum, and then slop calling." Smith said.
