win ad awards
Five students representing
the University's American Ad
vertising Federation chapter
won the regional division of the
National Student Advertising
Competition April 17 in Seattle
The group, which advances
to national competition in At
lanta on June 12, includes: Tom
Danowski, a journalism junior;
Brian Gorman, an architecture/
allied arts junior; Steve Saltz
man, a marketing senior; Emer
ald advertising sales represen
tatives Lori Maeyaert, a jour
nalism senior and Kevin Roddy,
a journalism junior.
"I think we have a really good
chance in Atlanta,” says Roddy
"The judges in Seattle said we
won walking away I'm op
timistic about the national com
petition ."
This was the first time the
University's AAF chapter had
entered the competition.
Designed for Corning Glass
Works, the students' advertising
campaign was delivered to
judges in a 20-minute presenta
tion that included marketing
strategies, advertising layout
and a campaign budget.
Roddy said assistant adver
tising professor Bob Taber was
a “tremendous help. Without
him we wouldn’t have made it
this far."

"genuinely new" may be in
troduced during the appeal.
The University is also propos
ing to adopt a rule that explains
the procedures for appealing a
decision on promotion or tenure
when such a decision does not
result in the employee receiving
notice of termination.
A new permanent rule sets
forth the University’s policy
prohibiting sexual harassment
and the procedures to be fol
lowed in handling complaints of
such harassment. Written com
ments on the rule must be
turned in to Jackson's office by
April 30

vance, request for sexual favors
and other verbal or physical
conduct of a sexual nature

duct is made a condition of em
ployment or academic exper

creates a hostile or offensive
working or academic environ
ment
The new rule directs persons
who feel they have been sex
ualty harassed to either contact
anonymously or file a formal
complaint with the affirmative

The director conducts a “dis
crete" inquiry into the allega
tions and reports to the appro
priate vice president within 15
days. The report includes
recommended actions, includ
ing disciplinary action, if the
allegations have “substantial
basis in fact."
