According to Hutchison, his
duties as president will include
“representing the faculty at the
President’s Council, playing
‘traffic cop’ (directing inquiries
to the right people and depart
ments when necessary), coor
dinating (faculty) committees,
appointing chairs to each of the
faculty committees, making
sure the faculty is represented at
most of the college functions,
and on most of the college com
mittees.”
He feels that the three most
important qualifications he has
are “a sense of humor, I’m
working on a sense of perspec
tive, and I try to listen.”
Does Hutchison think that he
will make any drastic changes in
the next year? “No, things have
been going along smoothly for
the past couple of years. I want
to continue that process.”
One thing that Hutchison
worked on when he was faculty
president two years ago was a
bargaining agreement between
the faculty and the College
Board. “I strongly feel that we
need one more contract to have
a well defined and well
established process,” Hut
chison stated.
A benefit of being faculty
president is that he gets a one
class release. Normally, he
would be teaching about 15-16
credit hours, but as president he
will be teaching 12. However,
from his past experience, Hut
chison commented that being
president requires about “20
hours of work per week.”
Hutchison expressed that he
has “been very encouraged by
the fact that John Keyser has
encouraged various groups to
work together on campus...I
hope to contribute to helping
with the goal of providing
educatinal opportunities for
members of the community.”

The dogfight over textbooks
and cost that has been occuring
the past few weeks between ad
ministrators, faculty, and
Associated Student Govern
ment, seems be close to a final
treaty. The draft dated May 24
“is close to the last draft,” says
John Hooley, assistant dean of
instruction.
Hooley said that the process
that led to the latest draft had
merit because “the students
made enough of a fuss about
this that the faculty is more
aware of the problems.”
The controversy' stems
around cost of an education in
regard to textbooks, and course
content unification versus
academic freedom for instruc
tors.
“It’s a dodge,” said Political
Science and U.S. History In
structor John Rau. “These so
called leaders in student govern
ment and so called ad
ministrative educators want
unification in text. Why not in
struction?” Rau asked bitterly.
“Why not complete course con
tent? What’s next?
‘‘Many
college
ad
ministrators and many people in
student government have a poor
understanding of academic
freedom,” Rau exclaimed. He
allowed that texts should be
«tectod with heed
towards
“quality, readability, and stu
dent costs,” and, “there should
be questions if the instructor is
an author where he’s getting
royalties.” However Rau feels
that “basically the choice
should be left to the
instructor.”
Neale Frothingham has a dif
ferent opinion on the subject.
ASG drew up a textbook draft
dated May 16 which called for
stricter guidelines to keep cost
down. Frothingham states that
the ASG draft “encourages a
textbook policy that is both
financially and academically
responsible to the students.”
Frothingham stated that the
ASG draft, “encourages
responsible textbook adoption
and “represents ASG’s best
thinking on the subject.”
Lyle Reese, Dean of Instr ac
tional Services, has to look at the
big picture. With “2938 dif
ferent situations to look at,”
Reese has to look for regula
tions that.are flexible enough to
fit every situation, yet he admits,
will be open to abuse if instruc
tors choose to do so. “If that
happens we will have to go back
and look at the situation
again.”
Final regulations will be
decided by the resident’s Coun
cil from the submitted pro
posals.
