by stuart silberman freshman class elections will fee held this year on oct 6 rather than during march according to lorraine scheib ener student activities coordinator scheibener said that this is the first time that a class will have elected offic ers during the fall of their freshman year the decision to move elections to the beginning of the year came directly from the dean of students office according to eric altman 84 student activities council sac president altman said that it was their baby and that sac's only role is to set the election rules and to make sure that all offices are elected fairly and impartially according to associate dean of stu dents robert cohen the incoming fresh man class has a lot of spirit and that moving the class elections to the begin ning of the year will help to maintain the momentum cohen added that the class needs some structure and elec tions will help in getting the class started cohen said the officers will be able to help the class plan freshman events and fund-raisers just like the other classes when asked if he felt the candidates will have had enough time to introduce themselves cohen responded those people will make it their business scheibener said freshmen have a lot of class spirit and enthusiasm to do things we feel that by having class offic ers during the freshman year this class will retain this cohesive feeling kevin clayton 84 senior class presi dent said i like the idea of starting class identity early the only thing that worries me is that they've the fresh men only know each other for a little over a month and that because of this the elections may turn into a popularity contest clayton who was elected vice presi dent in march of his freshman year added that just because a lot of people know his name it doesn't mean the per son will do the best job nothing about changing elections has been discussed by sac according to altman he added that he still doesn't know whether or not the dean of stu

hopefully by july 1 according to university provost arthur humphrey the position had existed until three years ago when the individual who had filled the slot left humphrey said since then the position has been occupied on a rotational part-time basis by members of the faculty he explained we are actually re-arranging the exist ing positions in the provost's office not adding a position he added this person would have a continuing responsibility for personnel matters work with the deans on hiring minorities and women represent the provost on the edpol committee on educational pol icy and sos committee on standing of students committees and be involved with the entire planning process in the provost's office humphrey said he added that although no new respon sibilities are being added the fact that having just one person permanently responsible will put an end to the training process necessary when individuals are working on a part-time basis thus increasing efficiency robert johnson professor of civil engineering and chairman of edpol said that when edpol was approached for advice and consultation the commit tee was generally in favor of the idea although it was concerned with the addi tion of another administrator especially the addition of another line person to the provost's office someone that an individual would have to see before see ing the provost humphrey said that the position would be filled through an open search the university will advertise the opening nationally and will accept applications from those inside and outside the univer sity . johnson said that edpol felt that the person selected should be well acquainted with what goes on at the university see conditional page 4
