REMINDER: Faculty awards dinner set for May 5 Should NATO expand? A runner studies flows Peller to receive L-in-Life South Mountaineer Wrestling's Greg Strobel named Coach of Year LehighWeek Inside with South Mountaineer News 1-3 People 4-5, 7-10 Events 7 Calendar 10 Volume 11, Issue 28 Lehigh University Campus Weekly April 30,1998 LehighWeek to take on new format LehighWeek and The South Mountaineer will take on a new format starting with the next issue on May 6. The publication, which was launched in 1987, will continue to serve as a primary source for university news; however, the information and look will be more concise, easier to read and focused on the campus community, "From feedback we received from the campus through surveys and interviews, we recognized that people who were reading LehighWeek found it of interest," said Ron Ticho, assistant vice president for university relations. "Unfortunately, we also realized that there was a significant number who weren't reading it at all. We need to get our message across in an engaging and succinct way. "We want people to pick up LehighWeek as a quick source for campus news and information. The new design and content are intended to make the paper more attractive and easier for people to read," said Ticho. Rob Upton Braving the elements — A full crowd turned out in the rain on Sunday, April 26, to attend the Honors Convocation in Packer Memorial Church. A total of 375 students were honored for academic achievements. The principal address was delivered by Robert M. Madigan '88, founder and president of Madigan Consulting Ltd., a local consulting firm. Faculty express concerns on hiring policies, compensation The final faculty meeting of the academic year on April 27 featured discussions on issues ranging from timely consultation with the faculty personnel committee regarding the hiring of high-level administrators to faculty compensation and financial support for academic programs. In addition, a presentation was made by Interim President William C. Hittinger on a proposal that will be put forth to the Board of Trustees in June, to permit the distribution of scholarships that are not limited by demonstrated financial need in men's and women's basketball beginning in the year 1999- 2000. Under the proposal, the athletic department would be given more flexibility in the distribution of current financial aid resources allocated for those sports only. The move to permit basketball scholarships is critical to the preservation of the Patriot League. (See interview with Joe Sterrett, director of athletics, on p. 2). The NCAA currently limits basketball scholar ships to 13 full-equivalencies for men and 15 for women. However, utilizing existing resources as stipulated in the proposal, the actual number at Lehigh will be significantly less. The proposal has a set of parameters that includes the expectation that spending of scholarship dollars between the men's and women's program meets gender-equity proportionately requirements. Wrestling is the only sport that provides non-need-based scholarships, though the Dean's Scholars program has provided such financial support for outstanding students outside of athletics since 1995. Earlier in the meeting, Colleen M. Callahan, chair of the Personnel Committee, said in a report that the administration, in the past year, had made five "critical" administrative appointments "without appropriate consultation by the committee." Those positions were-dean of the College of Arts and See Concerns on page 2 Second sorority gets permanent housing on the Hilf Beginning next fall, Gamma Phi Beta will become the second sorority with permanent housing on the Hill. The sisters will move from their current location in Upper Centennials into the house now occupied by Sigma Phi fraternity. Gamma Phi Beta President Gina Perri '99, a political science major, said she is excited about the move. "Everyone is thrilled," she said. "It's happened so quickly." Scott Walter, assistant dean of students, says Sigma Phi gave up its house because it could no longer afford the cost of living there. It was offered to Gamma Phi Beta because it was the first sorority in line to receive a house. "The waiting list order is determined by the date they were colonized at Lehigh," Walter said. "Alpha Phi has had a great experience with their move to the Hill, and I anticipate that Gamma Phi Beta will have a similar experience." Renovations on the house will take place this summer. The house will be able to accommodate 48 sorority members, the same number of women who currently live in Upper Centennials. Rooms will be a combination of singles, doubles, triples and quadruples. Walter says the goal is to find the best way to utilize all the housing units on campus. "As fraternity houses become vacant, we have made a commitment to offer them to the sororities," Walter said. "If the sororities were to turn down our offer, we would use the house for a special interest group and/or residence hall space. " Perri said the move will benefit not only the current members of Gamma Phi Beta, but the chapter itself, now and in coming years. "I think everyone sees it as a really good thing for our chapter for the future—the fact that we have permanent housing and it's not going to be taken away," she said." Walter also feels that the move will be good for the sorority. "Moving into a 'house' is a great opportunity for a sorority," he said, "One that will enhance the overall sorority experience for the'members and alumnae." -Natalie Cantor '98 m LEHIGH ^r University LehighWeek Office of Communications/Design 422 Brodhead Avenue Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 18015-3067 MARIE C.
