Faculty eases evaluation policy
SG wants critiques required
By MICHELLE M. PEREZ

Student Government is protesting a recent unanimous move by the Faculty Senate which allows University of Miami professors the option of not having their evaluations published.
According to Dr. George C. Alexandrakis, chairperson of the Faculty Senate, the measure is primarily aimed at new faculty members who may be hesitant to be evaluated.
Alexandrakis called the vote an improvement because professors can now be evaluated without having to worry about the results being published.
However, Alexandrakis said professors who are candidates for tenure do have to be evaluated and
must also submit their evaluations for publication.
“Up to now, the policy was that if you didn’t want results published, you didn’t hand them (evaluations! out at all," Alexandrakis said. "They wanted to have mandatory evaluations, something we’ve never had and there’s never been a problem with before."
SG President Freddie Stebbins said the reason there had never been a problem with the non-mandatory nature of faculty evaluations was because it hadn’t been clearly stated until now.
Roxanne Greitz, executive secretary of SG, said,
"We got back what was taken away from us in the first place, which was the release of the results.
“Unfortunately, we weren’t aware that all professors had the option to opt out of the evaluations all along, and now they’re being given a second option — to not even release them,” she added.
According to Greitz, despite Faculty Senate claims that there is 95 percent compliance with the evaluation process among the faculty, the figure is closer to 60 or 70 percent.
Dr. William Butler, vice president for student affairs, said he advised SG to speak out in favor of
mandatory evaluations and persuade the Faculty Senate, if they felt strongly about it.
“This is a timely issue which has to be discussed and carefully dealt with by both faculty and students,” Butler said.
In response to the Faculty Senate’s actions, the SG Senate passed its own set of resolutions regarding faculty evaluations.
The senate’s proposals would require evaluations be made on all professors and that these evaluations be released to SG.
The only exception would be professors who had taught at the University for two or fewer semesters. Evaluations of such professors could be withheld by

Crime wave hits Frat Row

Coral Gables lawyer Jack Thompson wants the University of Miami to stop advertising on W I O D - A M (610) because the station airs programming
which Thompson va>a IN racist. Indecent
and potentially damaging to the University's image.
Neil Rogers,
WIOD’s star disc jockey, is the crux of the 1 problem, Thompson said. The lawyer said he first became aware of Rogers when the DJ was on the air at WINZ-AM (940). Thompson said he complained to WINZ about material he found offensive. Soon afterward, Rogers broadcast Thompson's address and phone number over the air.
Thompson said he received numerous phone threats after the broadcast and was the victim of pranks he believes were orchestrated by Rogers.
Examples of programming Thompson finds offensive on Rogers' show include lyrics to such underground songs as “Boys Want Sex in the Morning," “The Asshole Song,” "Walk With An Erection” and “The Penis Envy Song."
Lyrics of "The Candy (Wrapper Song," another tune aired by Rogers, include: “1 ran my Ding Dong up her Rocky Road and into her Peanut Butter Cup.”
Thompson gave The Miami Hurricane transcripts of Rogers’ Feb. 1 show. Rogers said, in part: "Our friends in Dade |Dade His-punics| — we're hoping that they can become a little bit more like the Broward Hispanic community and become like part of the mainstream eventually. You
know, after 30 years it gets a little bit old to say that you’re waiting to go home ... The ‘hotel syndrome,’ I call it... There’s more to life than cock fights and black beans and rice.”
Mike Disney, general manager at WIOD, said the allegations that the station airs racist and indecent material are false. He would not comment further.
“The* Unlver.silv of Miuntl hn« a right to advertise wherever It
wants," Rogers told The Miami
Hurricane yesterday.
UM advertises on WIOD during Rogers’ show and also has an agreement with the station involving the broadcast of University sporting events.
According to Richard Dalrym-ple, director of the UM Sports Information Department, WIOD broadcasts all Hurricane basketball and football games and about 20 baseball games. He said the station pays the University “in the neighborhood” of $200,000 for broadcast rights.
The DJ said that as an announcer he had done more for UM’s baseball program than almost anyone else.
UM’s association with WIOD, and especially Rogers’ show, could hurt the University’s image, Thompson said. He said he has communicated his concerns several times to President Edward T. Foote II, Athletic Director Sam Jankovich and Baseball Coach Ron Fraser.
“The University advertising gives credibility that the show might not otherwise have,” Thompson said.
Foote, out of town Thursday, was unavailable for comment.
Some UM students want the University to rethink its policy of advertising on WIOD.
"With these advertisements, a message has been sent to black students and faculty that the administration isn’t sensitive to the concerns of blacks,” said United

In response to a recent outbreak of crime on Fraternity Row, the University of Miami Public Safety will increase the number of patrolling officers on the row and may create a security entrance to the area.
Currently, several side streets provide access to the row.
Public Safety and the fraternities held a public information meeting Tuesday to make both groups more aware of what can be done to deter crime. The forum was held at the Sigma Chi fraternity house, a recent victim of the crime wave.
Since the winter break, a number of items, including a 25” television, an amplifier, a compact disc player and a few items of jewelry have been stolen from Sigma Chi.
Said Rich Gauthier, a Sigma
Chi member and past president of the Interfraternity Council, said. "|The fraternities] are kind of in a perilous location. We’re bordering a, for lack of a better word, ‘bad’ area in Miami.”
Attending the forum were Public Safety Officer Pat Haden. acting Dean of Students William Sandler and almost 30 students from various fraternities.
“There are some problems in the area. They are cyclical problems. Crimes pick up, taper off," Haden said.
One of the problems contributing to the crime was that fraternities had a tendency to not lock their front doors. “Admittedly, we had gotten a little lax,” said Gauthier.
However, much of the concern from the fraternities stemmed from the apparently slow response time on the part of Public Safety to a recent theft report. Two Lambda Chi Alpha members reported a man walking down San Amaro Drive carrying a tele-
vision set. Police did not arrive at the house until 45 minutes later.
The concern for this response time was great enough that a meeting including Gauthier, Haden, Student Government President Freddie Stebbins, Director of Public Safety Joseph Frechette, police Lt. Henry Christenson and others was caiied last week to discuss the matter. At the meeting, Public Safety officers said police were searching for the man rather than going immediately to the fraternity house.
Much of the discussion at the forum was about what the fraternity members could do to help make the area more secure, Gauthier said. In response to a question as to whether or not a person should try to detain a suspect himself, Haden said, "You have to determine, ‘Is he rational enough to talk to or should you book out of there?’ ”
“We have 23 sworn officers who patrol the whole campus 24 hours a day, but you are never go-
ing to be guaranteed that people aren’t going to come in and walk around. We are increasing the patrols in the fraternity area for the time period between | midnight| and 8 a.m.,” Haden said.
She also advised greeks to report suspicious-looking people wandering in the area.
However, she said the most Public Safety can currently do in these instances is to issue a campus-wide trespass notice which prohibits the individual from setting foot on the campus for the next two years except under special permission.
A member of Zeta Beta Tau said a person had come back to their house three times in two weeks after two trespass warnings were issued.
“The paperwork probably wasn't processed in time, and he probably bonded out,” Haden said.
Gauthier said he was satisfied with the program and the turnout, but the frustration of “What can we do?" still exists.
Registration center being built

Construction began last week on the Merrick Building to add a centralized registration center for the University of Miami College of Arts and Sciences and the School of Communication, said Dr. Thompson Big-gers, associate dean of enrollments.
Workers are busy building walls between the columns in Merrick’s breezeway. The new office, which according to Vice Provost Dr. Paul Sugrue will cost about $48,000 to build, will be located across from the Undergraduate Studies Office of the School of Business Administration in Merrick 104.
The center will house six to eight terminals from which students can select their classes. Biggers said students in the two schools will be able to complete all steps of the registration process at one centralized location.
"Together |the College of] Arts and Sciences and the School of Communication
*
make up a large number of students," Biggers said. “The two schools have not had a registration center, and the need for one is obvious.”
According to Biggers, the School of Business Administration, the College of Engineering, the School of Nursing and the Ro-senstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science all have registration centers.
“The philosophy behind all this is having students register closer to the place where they get advised,” Biggers said. “If students have course selection problems, there will be someone right there to help them.”
Dr. Charles Mallery, assistant dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, said the new center will simplify the entire registration process.
“It will make it much easier for the students," Mallery said. "There will be less hassles and less running around."
Maureen Biggers, director of academic services for the College of Arts and Sciences said the new office will also house a coordi-

nator for sophomore advising, who would meet the special advising needs of sophomores and have a strong background in career coordination.
“All undeclared majors must pick a major by the end of their sophomore year,” Maureen Biggers said. The University has not yet named anyone to the position, she added.
In addition, the new office would provide peer advisors for all incoming freshmen and an outreach program for students who want to volunteer in the Miami community.
“We’re taking one step at a time, but hopefully everything will be in place by the fall," she said.
According to Biggers, construction of the center is scheduled to be completed by the time fall registration begins in April.
Biggers added that students in the School of Commu nication and the College of Arts and Sciences will still be able to register at the Division of Registration, which is located in the Whitten University Center across from the Rathskeller.
