Assembly vote on ROTC issue
‘was not a cop-out,’ Olum says
By Sandy Johnstone
Of Hw Emerald
The University Assembly’s
vote postponing the ROTC
discrimination motion “ind
efinitely” resolved the is
sue, said University Pres. Paul
Olum at his regular month
ly press conference Tuesday.
“The vote of the University
Assembly was not a cop-out,”
Olum said. “It is identical with
killing the motion."
The assembly voted last
week to "postpone indefinite
ly” the motion that would have
forced ROTC to comply with
the University’s affirmative ac
tion policies, which prohibit
discriminating on the basis of
sexual preference. The Armed
Services do not accept
homosexuals.
According to Robert’s Rules
of Order, to postpone in
definitely means to kill a mo
tion without voting on the pro
posal's merits.
The confusion about
ROTC’s on-campus role stems
from a misunderstanding
about the roles of the people
involved, Olum said.
“They wear two different
hats,” he said.
While they act as courtesy
faculty in the military science
department, the officers also
work for the U.S. Army, said
Olum.
“There is nothing in our
policy that says we cannot
give courtesy faculty appoint
ments without affirmative
action.”
He said it’s the army, not
the military science depart
ment, that gives out scholar
ships — but the same people
are involved.
“When they are functioning
for the Army they are not func
tioning for the University,”
said Olum.
“Cheyney Ryan has pointed
out the conflict of roles, but I
do not think the University is
in violation of discrimination
(rules)."
Olum also said he opposes
a proposal that would give
students only two University
Senate positions. Currently
students compose one-third
of the Senate, or 18 members.
Students tftve been respon
sible members of the senate
and assembly this year, Olum
said. For example, they were
instrumental in proposing a
new system that allows
graduation with honors, he
said.
While some faculty seem
apprehensive about too much
student control, Olum said the
faculty receive adequate pro
tection under the current
system.
Olum also said education's
cost will remain the same. He
said he bel ieves the
Legislature will approve the
tuition freeze proposal includ
ed in Gov. Vic Atiyeh s budget.
The University housing
department also has proposed
a freeze on the price of room
and board, which must be ap
proved by the State Board of
Higher Education, he added.
Olum also said the
Presidential Scholarship pro
gram is “going well.”
So far, 34 students have ac
cepted scholarships, and
more people probably will
write in accepting scholar
ships before the May 15
deadline, he said.
Recipients who have ac
cepted the scholarships so far
have a combined grade point
average of above 3.9, on a 4.0
scale, Olum said.
The University has secured
money for more than half of
the scholarships, and 11
scholarships are endowed per
manently, he said.
The University has mailed
about 3,000 letters recently to
possible donors to secure the
rest of the funding.
Celeste Ulrich, dean of the
human development and per
formance college, presented
Olum with a $1,000 check for a
presidential scholarship. The
college raised the money by
fundraising events such as
bake sales, raffles, and Reno
Night.
“It is hard to imagine a bet
ter example of the dedication
of the faculty,” said Olum.
Nuclear prevention speech set
Research associate Paul Slovick will
discuss “Prevention of Nuclear War: A
Psychological Perspective” today at 3:30 p.m.
in Room 123 Science I.
Slovick’s speech kicks off another series
of speakers sponsored by the University-based
Faculty Arms Control Group.
The second program features history Prof.
Allan Winkler speaking on “The History of Civil
Defense” in Room 123 Science I at 3:30 p.m.
May 25.
Slovick works with the Decision Research
firm, which began six or seven years ago,
Slovick says.
The firm conducts basic research in judg
ment and decision making, dealing with people
who “make decisions in the face of risk,” he
says.
Slovick will address four issues that are
“psychological in nature.”
The issues are: Are we smart enough to
manage nuclear weapons? Why do citizens ac
quiesce to the threat of nuclear war? Why do
our leaders relentlessly pursue the arms race?
and What psychological knowledge is relevant
for understanding these behaviors and
motivating constructive action to reduce the
threat of nuclear war?
