THE UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE »T MARTIN THURSDAY, JUNE 4, 19al EIGHT PAGES Appropriation Approved; Fees Will Increase 15,25 % By NIKKI HARTSEI I Copy Editor The Tennessee state legislature last week approved a total appropriation of $9.05 million for UTM's fiscal year 1981-82. The approved appropriation will probably necessitate a 15 percent increase in maintenance fees for undergraudate students and 25 percent for both the graduate maintenance fee and out-of-state tuition. The fee increase has already been approved by the I'T System Board of Trustees for Summer Quarter 1981 but will have to be approved for school year 1981-82. Fees per quarter for full-time students will be, for undergrad¬ uates. $250, up from $220; graduates, up from $245 to $300: and out-of-state tution, up to $510 from $408. Fees on an hourly basis are, for undergraduates, $21 for in-state and $64 for out-of-state, and, for graduate students, $34 for in-state and $90 for out-of-state. The $9.05 million includesa base appropriation of $8.87 million, which is based on the Tennessee Higher Education Commission’s formula, and a $179,000 total for salary increases. Longevity pay has a pool of $70,000 to work with to provide a $15 increase per year of 0 creditable service. According to Hr. Francis M Gross, vice chancellor for business and finance, however, all eligible employees will receive $75 per year of service. Non-faculty are currently receiving $60 per year, while faculty are receiving $45 per year. Salaries will have an overall average increase of two percent, for a total of $109,000. These raises for faculty will be awarded on a merit basis, according to Gross, which means that some faculty members will get less than a two percent raise while others will receive more. Merit raises of 1.5 percent will go to non-faculty who make more than $18,000 per year; this group is composed primarily of administrators, Gross said. These raises for both groups will be in addition to the five percent retirement that employees are currently paying but will be paid by the state, Gross added. Other non-faculty members, primarily clerical and supporting staff, will receive across-the-board raises, Gross said. Those making less than $10,00 per year will receive a 2.3 percent raise; $10,001-$12,000, a 2.1 percent raise; and $12,001-$18,000, a 2.0 percent raise. Chancellor Says UTM ‘Stands Tali’ UTM Chancellor Charles E. Smith told an audience of University faculty, staff and administrators last Thursday that UTM stands tall among Tennessee's state universities in regard to both financial and academic well-being Smith, speaking at a meeting of UTM’s chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP). said the decade of the 1980s will be a troubled time for higher education institutions and that a number of external factors threaten the well¬ being of the state’s colleges and universities. “Stated simply, times are tough,” Smith said. “Institutions of higher education face double-digit inflation, restricted state resources, keener competition for dwindling pools of potential students and the pending collapse of the federal aid pipeline. Present- day concerns are sapping morale and dimming hopes for the future on college campuses throughout thiscountry. Thehard reality isthat there is little that we can do to change the rate of inflation, the structure of this state’s tax system, the deficits of the federal budget or the contraction of birth rates The chancellor said that msteai. of lamenting the external forces which impact higher education, universities must deal with reality, focus time and effort on matters over which a campus has control and develop strategies for maintaining the viability of the university within the external constraints which have been imposed on each campus. “Last fall we set forth in a variety of forums our priorities for 1980-81." he said. “I am pleased to announce today that, assuming no further surprises from Nashville, our number one priority of balancing the 1981-82 budget w ill be met. 1 am pleased tosav that funding for continuation of promotional increases is included in the budget we will submit to il'Ti President (Edward) Boling next week. Moreover that budget also includes $50,000 in funding earmarked for equity adjustments of faculty salaries. Obviously, those dollars will not bring our overall faculty salaries up to the state average, but we believe this is an important first step in a long- range plan." Smith said reallocation of resources have been the key to developing a balanced budget and improving salaries in a time of a shrinking resource base. Hecited a 7 am pleased to announce that, assuming no further surprises from Nashville, our number one priority of balancing the 1981 82 budget will be met.’ — Chancellor Smith which eventually enrollments.” impact our UTM Intensive English Student Has Five Albums To His Credit By JENNIFER GUTHRIE Special Alignment* Editor Henry Martinez doesn't write songs for money or success. The UTM intensive English student composes because he likes to communicate with other persons He must do very well The Venezuelan, age 31. has five albums to his credit and is not only a successful song-writer, but a guitar player as well. "I think music is the universal language of all the gods of this world and the other planets.” the composer said, sitting in his University Courts apart ment shared with his wife. Jacqueline “When the gods speak, they speak in music " Martinez was seven when he learned to play the cuartro (a four-string Venezuelan instrument). 15 years old when he began strumming the guitar His only teachers were his brother and records. At home in Maracay of Araqua State he played for friends and relatives along with a boy who played the harp In his mid teens he was introduced to Brazilian music and also enjoyed the American orchestra sound of Cole Porter, Glenn Miller and the jazz of people like Duke Ellington He listened very intently to their records and the music of Venezuelan musicians such as Aldemaro Romero (now the Venezue Ian Symphonic Orchestra Director). From the ages of 15 to IS Martinez began developing musical skills, putting all the harmonies he listened to together With friends he began performing at parties and would practice at least one hour each day During his first year at medical school when he was IS. he met a Venezuelan song writer who has been a big influence in his life— Luis I^aguan—"an excellent musician," Martinez remarked. They have played together ever since then. “It’s necessary for a person to have skills and important to have a very good ear for music.” he pointed out. “When someone has both characteristics, they need stimulation to stay involved in music." folk music and songs from other South American countries such as Peru, Cuba and Uruguay. Eighteen songs from the five albums were written by Martinez. 10 of which are folk. The other eight he compares to Joan Baez's style. Many songs are written for his wife. For him. song writing began at age 16. Six years later his song. “Criollisima" was recorded by the well-known director of a French orchestra. Paul Mavriat, and six other people. 7 think music is the universal language of all the gods of this world and the other planets.' From medical school he began practicing as a doctor in industries and hospitals during the day At night he performed close to home and farther away on weekends until two months ago when he came to the United States In between those years he performed in the six member band "Venezuela4” that sings his native folk music. lAguna introduced him to Jesus Sevillano. another well-known singer whom Martinez occasionally accompanied during Sevil- lano's concerts He also met Lilia Vera and Maria Teresa Chacin. two well known female vocalists who also sang to his accom paniment The band cut a folk music album - his first in 197H Four albums with the individual singers followed that included Venezuelan "A songwriter sometimes composes a song with inspiration and that means he has been touched by something in the environ ment." the doctor explained. “I think that any song writer is able to compose or write a song anytime he wants to." Subjectivity, he pointed out, is an important aspect of song writing The words depend upon how a composer views the world through humankind, art. pain, etc "Latin American men have been taught only to love a woman. I believe that humankind should be taught to love everything the umrld completely." he stated. He has written fifteen songs for children "When one makes music, one spreads ideas and concepts of the world. This concept must be good in order to teach the young people how to live." Martinez said. "The poet, composer, dancers, writers and all artists have the important role to transmit to people what is the better way to live." he continued ‘ The Venezuelan believes in good conduct and contributing toward pro¬ gress in society and the world. "It’s important to be happy." he said. Martinez does not limit his writing talent to songs, as evidence from capturing the prize in the “II Concurso Nacional de Literature ‘Omigenos’ " with his short story "Edurigis" The contest was sponsored by the newspaper "El A Aragueno." The story concerns a lady, representing iAtin Amer ican women, mistreated as an object by ehauvenistic men who have her obey their wishes Martinez’s feelings towards women’s liberation is reflected in his story “I feel that a woman should be encouraged to fight for her authenticity and she should also look for some ways to be freed." the author explained. His poems have also l>een published in newspapers The talented musician has performed on campus and at Studio 45 while studying at UTM After completion of the Intensive English program, (he's now on level three 1 ) he plans to obtain a masters in medicine, perhaps at a Memphis or Nashville school Meanwhile, there's always his music. "It's almost impossible to write (or do any activity) if you don’t love what you are doing " he philosophized "This has been no easy task, given the fact that UTM had a budget deficit of approximately $250,000 last year, given the fact that the state impounded five percent of our appropriation this year and given the fact that state appropriations for UTM have been increased less than one percent by the two legislative actions that have occurred since we started our goal of a balanced budget 18 months ago. "Our second priority has been to upgrade UTM’s faculty salaries, w’hich overall rank last among Tennessee’s senior institutions." he continued. "Last year, for the first time in UTM's history, we began providing specified pay increases for faculty being promoted in rank. The absence of such promotional increases in the past has been largely responsible for the inequities which exist today at the associate and full professor levels. shift of tax dollars from inter¬ collegiate athletics and a bachelor’s degree program in nursing to other academic departments; developing a financing plan which will enable the university’s auxiliary- enterprises to fund fully the Department of Recreational Sports, an action which will free more than $40,000 a year to partially fund the equity increases for faculty; converting 16 clerical and administrative positions to flex-year appointments, resulting in a $21,600 savings; and an increase of approximately $150,000 in gate receipts and private gifts to intercollegiate athletics, enabling the university to continue a competitive athletics program with a base university- subsidy at a budgeted level less than tnat provided out of the general fund two years ago Reallocations have also been the key to provision of increases in operating and equipment budgets of selected academic departments." Smith explained. "For example $lS.O(Ki was added to the library- budget last year, the first increa>e in six years. We have just today- made a decision to allocate an additional $25,000 in one-time money to the library. These new funds are coming from the $75,000 administrative allowance earned by the half million dollar contract with Japan’s Nihon University. "Equipment budgets have been woefully deficient in recent years. In fact, during the entire decade of the 1970s. only $582,500 state- appropriated dollars were expended for academic equipment on this campus.” the chancellor said. "In the last 15 months, we have approved instructional equipment purchases totalling more than $200,000. and that amount would have been significantly larger had the state not impounded five percent of the current year’s appropriation. It is our intention to earmark the remaining $50,000 in administra¬ tive allowance earned from the Nihon contract for one-time instructional equipment purchases by academic departments. Thus, barring another impoundment or some other unexpected fiscal development at the state level, our purchases of educational equipment should be near the $400,000 mark by the end of the second fiscal year of this new decade ." Smith said additional funds would be reallocated to provide increases in the budgets of UTM’s business administration and computer science programs. Professor Awarded Fellowship Harry M Hutson, professor of History and chairman of the Department of History and Political Science, has been awarded a Summer Seminar Fellowship at Columbia Univer¬ sity from June 8 to July 31, 1981. The seminar, entitled "The Political Culture of Modern Britain," will be supervised by Dr. Stephen Koss. professor of history at Columbia and a specialist in modern British history While at Columbia Hutson will be working on his own research project, a study of the Labor party in the 1930s. The seminar itself will focus on the role of public opinion in forcing political change within the last one hundred years. Members of the seminar, all of whom are college professors, will participate in reading projects and discussion under Koss's direction. Opportunities are also available to audit courses in Columbia University's summer session. The Summer Seminars for (ollege Teachers, a project of the National Endowment for the Humanities, are designed to provide college teachers with opportunities to work with distinguished scholars at institutions with libraries suitable for advanced study. The main objective is to improve the teachers' knowledge of the subjects thev teach.

Support UTM Rodeo Send Team To Bozeman The Undergraduate Alumni Council has undertaken a grand effort to help fund the rodeo team on their way to Bozeman, Mont, for the National Collegiate Rodeo finals. Several of the team members have an outstanding chance to win national titles. George Mesimer is in the running for the National Collegiate Rodeo Association All-Around Cowboy title. The Pacer would like to urge all students to give at least fifth cents to the rodeo fund There are boxes in each dorm lobby for this purpose. Although the campaign was officially over yesterday, students can still give today. It costs the rodeo team about $5,550 for the 12 members to go to Bozeman. Any help you can give will be appreciated by the rodeo team, which usually has paid its own way to all rodeos. UAC deserves a big thank you for their work.^iut so do the students and Martin residents who gave and will give their money. A little goes a long way. ‘Long Stint’ Comes To End Column By Frank C. Davis I don't know that many of my fellow students; but then again, this time around, I haven't tried as hard It is not that 1 am unfriendly, it's just that after 12 years, Ifind that graduation has particular importance to me. However, I would have liked to have known more of you. I can say that I have met at least 20,000 people plus in my time at UTM and that I have always felt that meeting people was by far the best thing this institu¬ tion had to offer Therefore, I write this as a farewell, not necessarily to people or places, but to a part of my life. I imagine you find it hard to believe someone can spend 12 years in or around Martin, Tenn. Well, would you believed that when I started in the fall of 1969, there were no open houses; freshman girls had to be in by 10:30 p.m ; upperclassmen at 11:30. with midnight and 1:00 respectively for weekends There were actually demonstrations on this campus during the Kent State incident in 1970. There used to be free outdoor musical events such as the one last Thursday night spanning eight to ten hours every Spring Quarter SGA movies were free. The only night spots in Martin were Hillary’s and the old Cadillac's (not the one preently in existence) Furthermore, no women went there Free dances in the University Center with live bands were offered every week A dorm existed that rented for $60 per quarter There was a concert in the stadium (the only one ever held there) featuring six name bands Atrium and Clement were all girl dorms; and Ellington was an all boy dorm. G-H Hall was the first so-called co-ed dorm when it opened in the fall of 1971. Coffee houses featured local and student entertain¬ ment which were frequent and free. Business and medical facilities were in a building that no longer exists, which by particularly interesting circumstances burned down. A former Pike house burned down also while occupied. 1 have also been here to see the third UTM chancellor. Besides myself, three members of my family have attended here. So you see, it is true; there is a student who has attended this university for 12 years. Furthermore, I hve lived in university housing (i.e., dorms) for 22 quarters. I am not sure if this is a record, but Earl Wright, who was the assistant head resident of Austin Peay when I first enrolled, is checking to verify the record. 1 can therefore say, it has been an overly long stint, but I have no regrets. I have learned much. When I first came here, I had limited musical ability and was shy around most people. Since then. I have developed very good piano skills and at the risk of sounding boastful, I am considered the best harmonica player in Northwest Tennessee. There has always been one asset that Martin has had to offer, which helped me to develop a basic philosophy It is not where you are. or what you are doing but who you are doint it with that matters. I feel depressed that people here are not as open as they used to be There are too many cliques that remind me of high school life. Greeks stick with Greeks, including cliques within a fraternity or sorority. Furthermore, persons from various towns tend to stick with their “own.” Jocks, blacks and international students tend to do the same. Although there were cliques in previous years, they were more sociable than those that exist today. It appears that it is a lot harder to meet people, where it used to be effortless to meet an entire new group of friends in no time at all. I have also questioned several students who have attended during part of my tenure here who concur with this opinion. In the future, I hope that friendliness will once agai n become the trademark of this “hole in the armpit of the South’’ as we once affectionately called this educational institution. I have changed tremendously during my time here. I hope that when you graduate, you will have changed also There’s a tradition around here that graduating editors write a farewell column. Well, here’s mine for the file. When I began classes at UTM three years ago, I had no idea of the changes I would undergo, of the paths I would walk, of the people I would meet. Looking back at these years is a strange exper¬ ience. So much of it has distorted through time- some of it is a faint mist on a cloudy day, while some of it is the hot July sun on a clear day. All the experiences, all the people I’ve come across somehow make the me that I now am. Two of the biggest influences have been Vanguard Theatre and The Pacer. Vanguard let me develop creativity in a new direction. Through acting and directing I found parts of me that I never knew existed and was able to develop what I found into more of the me that I wanted to be than the me that I was. The Pacer has been a myriad of experiences. Story assignments have ranged from concert announcements to the Hernon issue and fee increases. Relationships have ranged from bitterest of enemies to closest of friends—sometimes with the same person! Through my work I’ve gotten to know a lot of people across campus and have been involved when some of the big events occurred. The work hasn't always been easy or fun, but it has given me a solid background to go into “the real world.” Of course the staff of the paper have played a major part in my life in the past two years. Some have already gradu¬ ated and gone—like Bill, Aaron, Dean, Pam and Marcia—and others have just gone—like Barry, Richard and Kathy; there are the new faces since I joined—Jennifer, Judy, Russell, Vilma, Mike, Kathy; John, Steve and Dorothy are the only one left who were here when I came. Each one, past and present, has played a special role. The Pacer wouldn't have been The Pacer for me without each one. A special thanks to Sharon for being patient with me as I tried to transfer the responsibility. I’ve taken upwards of 175 hours on this campus under 30 different teachers. Some courses and teachers have had a more profound effect on me than others, but all have helped shape me. Dr. Loebakka and Dr. Deck especially helped me find my niche in this universe. Dr. Mauldin helped me understand why I see life the way I do. Mrs. Norton helped me understand why I see myself the way I do. Mr. Snyder and Barbara Mangrum have helped me discover new avenues of creativity. John Waller has shaped me into whatever kind of writer I am and will be. Dr. Briody, from the first By Nikki Hartsell t day on campus to register i for my first class, to my last e as a graduating senior, has e been concerned about me e more than as a statistic or as i a student, but about me as a person and has helped me to grow as an individual. I’ve changed a lot in the I time I’ve been here, whether ■ for better or worse, I don’t know, but I do know that I’m > happier with myself now 1 than I was when I came. There are so many people whom I haven’t mentioned I who have watched me t change and have been there to help when the pain of growing was at its worst To all of you, one big heartfelt word of thanks comes from me to you. I also want to mention my parents. They have support¬ ed me and cared about me as I have grown from a dependent child into an independent adult. They have shared my happiest days as well as my darkest nights. Even when they could do nothing else, they listened. Without their love and support I wouldn’t be where I am today. And so my stay at UTM (and my column) comes to a close. As I reflect back, I can say with assurance that I wouldn’t give anything in the world for my college experience. To all who have been a part of it—both the casual acquaintance and the dearest friend—thank you for being a part of my life. Dear Editors: As I visited UTM last wssksnd, a friend of mine made me aware of an editorial in the May 21 issue of The Pacer concerning Gamma Sigma Sigma, of which I am a recent alumna. Upon first reading the article I eras outraged. A second look made me wonder “Just what is The Pacer trying to sayf Is it commending Gamma Sig¬ ma Sigma for All-Sing or criticising the organisation saying the work it does is unsignificant? Remarks like “Compared to the amounts raised by...various organisations.... the proceeds seem small” and “it’s the thought that counts” just don’t “cut it’ with me. I don’t consider $1,701.81 chicken feed, and the proceeds have been well over that in the past. Besides Happy House, handsome checks have also been presented to the Hemophilia Foundation, the Bill Wilkerson Speech and Hearing Center and the Sickle Cell Anemia Founda¬ tion. Gamma Sig also has several annual projects besides All-Sing including the Pancake Eating Contest, the Chili Supper, monthly nursing home visitation, car washes and bake sales. Other projects include road blocks, bottle drives, collecting for the March of Dimes, a slave sale and many more too numerous to mention. In every situation, every dime went to eharitiee—8peeial Olym¬ pics, the Easter Seal Society. Cancer Research and needy individuals In the commun¬ ity. to name s handful. I might add that every fall. Gamma Sig together with A Phi 0 deans Happy House Day Care Center, and they also help the A Phi 0’s in their “Push for 8t Jude.” They cook breakfast very early for the A Phi O’s the day they walk through Memphis, then proceed to collect donations with them. We realise that we don't compare with the work A Phi O does for SL Jude, but we are not trying to compete with them or anyone else. We support Alpha Phi Omega and all other organizations that serve the community 100 percent and feel that they support us the same. Then to add insult to injury, adjacent to your incoherent editorial was an incoherent cartoon. The very least Dan “Nertz” Ham- mersley could have done was get the Greek letters right (111 forgive the editor for the headline; I understand how hard it is to get one to fit) To make a long story complete. Gamma Sigs work like dogs, and if it was the “thought that counted” in that editorial, it didn't count much. Sincerely, Marcia Pitts Student Questions Contest Validity House Hunting Hints Dear Editors, Can a department on campus legitimately spon¬ sor a contest and refuse to give awards? The English department has taken this stand. During winter quarter, posters were tacked in every nook and cranny advertising a writing contest $15.00 was to be awarded to the winner of each category with a grand total of $75.00 to be awarded on Honors Day. The department now claims that they didn't receive any entries deserv¬ ing of an award, in any category. The advertise¬ ments didn't mention this X - i possibility. I can’t help but wonder by what standards these works were judged. Didn't one stand out as being better than the others? The word contest leads you to believe the best of those submitted would win. If not other entries, what else were these compared to? One of the most important functions of the English department is to encourage student writing. Personally, I've found nothing more discouraging than this. Sincerely, Cindy Hazen Pre-Vet student School of Agriculture Column Are you sick and tired of dorm life? So off-campus living is the answer? Or is it? Well, let's try naive and unexperienced apartment hunting first. If you want an apartment or house for next fall, you should have already started looking or start this instant! Excuse me, but it is so hard As you search the area for not to shed a tear at the end the “perfect” place, you will of an era.

Well, you finally find it—but there’s one catch. If you want it, you must rent it now! Uh, oh....How can you rent now—the quarter is over, and you must go back home to work so that you can rent the place in the fall. Now comes the next problem.

The committee was noticeably impressed by Davis' garb. “Anybody who dresses like that deserves to be editor," said one member. “I can't wait to get on such a wonderful staff with such a wonderful yearbook at such a wonderful campus with such wonderful students and wonderful instructors and a wonderful administration and it never rains in California and people don’t really ever do bad things and children aren’t really starving anywhere and everything’s just wonderful! I can’t wait; it will be just like in high school!" gushed Davis. The committee also reviewed applicants for the position of Pacer editor for next year. The applicants were asked such burning questions as. “What is your favorite color?". “Are you a member of the American Communist Party?", “Where is the best place to get a good taco in Martin?", and, a committee favorite, “Why did their organization get five columns on page 4 and mine only got four?” The committee examined the written applications of all applicants very closely. At one point a motion was maded to call in a literate person and have them read aloud, but it was never seconded. After much debate, applicant Mona Slanders was chosen in a split- decision. The committee was impressed by her former jobs as Managing Editor of the Memphis Banner, the Jackson Tennessean, and the Nashville Sun. Committee members also stated that a big plus in Slander’s favor was the fact that “she has not yet been contaminated by contact with the present screwball staff.’’ The committee votes today on applicants for other positions on the staff.

By OSCAR BILGEWATER Staff Mascsl “Twiddle dum and twiddle dee, I’m the chancellor, so pee on thee!” Thus quoth Chancellor Chucky Eustice Smyth to Honey Bemon at a recent meeting of the Salvation and Mercy Committee. The S&M Committee met Saturday morn at 4:43 a.m. to examine the ethics of Chucky’s decision to deny Honey tenure. As S&M ; chairman Willard Bonnet of the English Dept, so eloquently stated, “Heck fire, Chucky, why not just admit that you made a gross error so we can go home. I’ve got to get back and change the diapers on my grand¬ child. My daughter has been after me since Wednesday to change those diapers and if I don't act soon the kid might drown.” But beauracracy muddles onward, and the S&M affair did not end until 9:63 p.m. Monday night During this marathon of mercy, the committee heard from Honey as well as Chucky. “Nasty, horrid old man!”, Honey scolded, pointing an accusing finger at the unrepenitant Chucky. “I've got nineteen kids to feed and you're snatching the Alpo and bread crusts from their mouths. If you have vour wav. I’ll have to learn them to steal, just so’s they can support me!" “In sooth and of a verity, 1 meant thee no harm,” responded Chucky, toying with his miniature portrait of Adolf Hitler. “Unfortun¬ ately, you are just another victim of the system. You see, I have this grand scheme in mind wherein all UTM’s faculty adhere to certain physical character¬ istics. You, Honey, do not possess all the required traits. Today Honey Bemon, tomorrow Willard Bonnet!” Upon hearing this, Bonnet pulled out his battle-ax and yelled, “Yesterday Presi¬ dent Reagan, today Chucky Smyth!” Whereupon he launched a full scale assualt on Chucky. It cost Safety and Security forty-four cans of mace and two fire extin¬ guishers to subdue the raging chairman. After some measure of order had been restored and Bonnet had been rushed to the horsepital, S&M co- chairman Waldo Hadden and Gary Stinker took charge. Stinker queried Chucky about the implications of his far-ranging scheme. “Dear, sweet Chucky! I hope and pray you're not gonna bury us all in the landfill of unemployment!” “No, just those who don’t measure up,” responded Chucky. “That equals approximately 94.7%^of all university employees.” Then, in a successful attempt to dismiss the meeting, Chucky sprang upon the table and began singing to the tune of “Has Anybody Seen My Gal?" the following lyrics: “I want big blue eyes and a Roman nose/large firm breasts, yes two of those/has anybody seen my prof?” “She’s sweet and wild in- her tight slit skirt/she runs her fingers inside your shirt/has anybody seen my prof?" “HAS ANYBODY SEEN MY PROF?!” “Policy StfilcUtteet In order to further confuse the editorial policy of Le Plssoir, the following guidelines have been jotted down at the last minute, and are subject to change without notice or justifiable reason: Anywhere between zero and eighteen editorials will be written per issue, depending upon how much space must be filed; short editorial will normally be excessively lengthened if that's what it takes to do the job The editorials are a consensus of what the Editorial Page Editor thinks the rest of the staff thinks It is his job to write the editorials; however, this editor is not reponsible for anything written out of context, unduly bias, or plain rotten. What do you expect, after all, clarity and precision?? Letters to the editor will be printed whew and dffefeet like it, andpnly if they conform 1o OUr own warped sense of humor Excessively longletters will be shortened; extra-short letters will be lengthened by one of our ghost writers. Columns, cartoons, and all that sort of junk receives next priority, unless we like them better than that week's letters. Publication in this case is made by the flip of a coin; heads, print it - tails, wait'll next week All letters must be accompanied by the writer's real name and address In the case of females, please add age, phone number, and wallet-sized photo for further clarification, and possible evening out with the Editorial Page Editor. We hope that these general and ambiguous guidelines have proved helpful (although we admit we can't figure out how they can be). If not, so what. After all, what it all boils down to is we'll print what we print when we want to print it, until our salaries and jobs are rovoked in which case we’ll start UTM’s first un¬ derground paper (or is this it??)

By BUCK "KODAK" ROGERS Dr. Peter “Pan Crunchy" Rob. professor of statistics in the School of Business Administration died Mon¬ day, June 1 from an apparent overdose of Peter Pan Crunchy Peanut Butter combined with a severe ease of punctuality. Dr. I. Portnoy of Student Health Services performed the autopsy. “He was in perfect health, a genius in his field, a highly skilled pilot, a model husband and fathr and an all-around nice guy,” Portnoy said. ‘‘He had everything going for him. This probably had a significance in his death. Something had to go wrong sooner or later.” “Rob’s addiction to peanut butter is thought to have begun in his years at the University of Florida. He said in class one time that he could buy a two-and-a-half gallon of Peter Pan Crunchy for only 89 cents," one of Rob’s stat students reported. “When he called it industrial strength peanut butter, we thought he was joking about the large size of the can.” Rob is survived by his son, Peter “Bootoons” Rob, Jr., - and his wife, about which all J we know is that he has one. Rob recently accepted a j position-as MTSU. “He told t his students it was for more I money, but he mentioned t one time tht he was moving I because he could get mor I Peter Pan Crunchy ther,” -j- one of Rob’s fellow teachers said.

Coach Signs Golfer UTM golf coach Grover Page has announced the signing of Memphis area prep standout Jimmy Darr to a letter of scholarship at UTM. Darr is Page’s seventh signeee of the spring. Darr. who holds a 3.0 average in business at Bishop Byrne High School, has played a major role in that school's golf program over the past four years. He was named to the All- District and All-Regional teams in 1980 and again in 1981. In addition, he was named medalists golfer in 12 matches during that same two-year span and qualified for state competition in 1981. Page said that he was pleased to have signed Darr and looked forward to having him on the team for several reasons. “In the 16 •years that I have recruited, Jimmy is one of the most impressive young men that I’ve come in contact with. He is an excellent golfer, but above that, his temperament and attitude toward the game are simply outstand¬ ing. We expect Jimmy to play in one of our top positions during the next four years, and I think he has an excellent future as a collegiate golfer.” Real Champs! Members of the UTM Rodeo Team present the winning trophies to Chancellor Smith. UTM’s cowboys and cowgirls won six of nine events to capture the 13th annual UTM Intercollegiate Kodeo Championship.

Repetitive jumping is required as a front row player attempts to spike and block. A player is often required to hit the floor with a dive, roll or sprawl in an effort to pick up a ball. One’s action and reaction must be alert and ready to go. A ball may land anywhere at anytime, and it is the responsibility of that player to use the proper skills to defend the court. So volleyball is a high level sport, just ask one of the UTM players It takes time and dedication to be a winner, and the UTM Volleyball Team is willing to put forth that effort. “1 am anxious to begin our season because I feel we have grown and gained in many areas. This could be the year that the 'sleeping giant’ wakes up," concluded Jones.

IBtil Page Seven Chancellor Says programs at the UT Center for the Health Sciences have been admitted, when typically about 30 percent of the applicants from any one campus are admitted. "We can uke pride in the fact that 25 percent of UTM’s accounting graduates pass the CPA exam on the first try when the national average is five percent “We can take pride in the fact that UTM was the only atate university west of Murfreesboro to have an enrollment increase this past fall. Moreover, the current recruiting season applications for next year have been fluctuating between 11 and 14 percent above the same time a year ago. “We can take pride in the fact that UTM has moved from sixth to fourth among state universities in the number of this year's high school seniors listing their first choice of an institution to attend. “We can take pride in the fact that the private giving to UTM is increasing at an unprecedented pace, almuni membership in the Century Club up 25 percent above last year, President's Club membership up 28 percent and total annual giving among UTM alumni running 120 percent above the same date a year ago. “We can take pride in the fact that Nihon University in Japan chose UTM over some 30 other institutions as the site for a half¬ million dollar educational program for 200 Japanese students this summer. “We can take pride in the fact that UTM has been successful in acquiring approval for construc¬ tion of an Agricultural Pavilion, a facility which will have multiple educational uses as well as enable UTM to strengthen its relation¬ ships with external publics. “ We can take pride i n the fact that UTM is negotiating successfully to locate an educational television station on this campus. "Yes, we have much for which to be proud." he concluded. ‘This is a fine university, with a superb faculty. I believe we have the strength and courage as an academic community to work together to face the challenges of the future. Given this belief, I am optimistic as we prepare for another academic year. UTM’s chancellor told the audience that the university remained committed to aggros sively promoting academic initiatives designed to maintain and enhance educational and instructional quality. He cited the Visiting Scholars Program, which brings scholars to the campus at the invitation of academic departments; special on-campus conferences, which bring to the campus, for the benfit of all interested faculty, conferences of general interest; cultural programming, including a concert by the Nashville Symphony Orchestra and the expansion of the power of WUTM-FM to provide culturally-oriented broadcast programming to West Tennes¬ seans; University Scholars Program, designed for UTM’s gifted students; and the formation of the Northwest Tennessee Educational Television Council, which has been recognized by the unanimous vote of the State Board of Education as the primary agent to negotiate the transfer of Lexington’s Educational Televi¬ sion station to UTM. task force to examine faculty evaluation and merit pay issues and to seek input from the entire academic community; initiation of a series of small group faculty luncheons to discuss issues and concerns; continuation of the weekly Dutch Treat Luncheons; and a series of “very productive meetings" with UTM's AAUP chapter and the University's Faculty Relations Committee. “Like other universities, we have our problems," the chancellor conceded. “However, we should not lose perspective. “We can take pride in the fact that during the past two years, 77 percent of the UTM graduates applying for admission to initiatives accomplished this year have contributed significantly to UTM’s image as a top-quality educational institution,” he said. “Moreover, they have bolstered morale and provided professional development opportunities for students and faculty." Smith pointed out administra¬ tive efforts to improve faculty- administration relations.

Flying Comes First for Durham American Cancer Society By JENNIFER GUTHRIE Special Assignments Editor “It’s a challenge to put them together,” he said. His models are flown outside of Kenton, though occasionally one might have seen them near the pond around the black top strips. Flying, however, requires no traffic, fences or powerlines, and a smooth surface and 400 yard runway. That leaves few places desirable. “If I had an area to fly in around here,” he said, “I’d be happy to put a show on.” Air showsare nothing new to Durham. He attended them while ip Germany and hopes to participate in one in August at the Barn (near South Fulton) with the flying club of which he’s a member. “We’re going to put on an arial demonstration of different type aircraft, sizes, styles and do some maneu¬ vers," he stated. Since he’s been back in the United States, there's not been time to attend air shows, most of which are out-of-state. To keep in touch with other people who are also fascinated with building and flying model airplanes. Durham is a member of the Academy of Model Aeronau¬ tics. There are over 2500 members, he said, who have a license to operate the planes, are covered with $100,000 insurance and receive a yearbook and monthly book of airplane news. National contests are held, which Durham once entered in Germany and placed third. Unfortunately, the winning plane (among others) was damaged in shipment when moved from Germany to the States. In Kenton, the flying club works with and teaches the beginners how to build and fly the aircraft. The planes are flown by a pilot and co-pilot like a regular aircraft, he explained. To take-off. air speed must be obtained or else it will stall and fall. The planes’ movements are controlled by a transmitter with “joy sticks" used as in real aircrafts. (He has had, however, his share of crash landings and demolished planes). Through taking flight lessons, he has found how much the two complement each other. “Flying a smaller aircraft has got me interested in the larger aircraft as far as actually getting my pilots license," he stated. At the first lesson, his flying instructor thought he had flown before. By his third flight, Durham was up by himself! But back to models. “Right now I build to fly, not for looks,” he said. “If it’s flyable I enjoy it. Flying comes first and show comes second.” Your ONLY Authorized Nike dealer in Martin Anne Strusz New Coach is ‘Excited STUDENT SALAD BAR HAMBURGER SPECIAL By KATHY DENNI8 Sports Editor BUY A SALAD AT REGULAR PRICE ($2.19) FAMOUS SALAD BAR FEATURES OVER 25 TASTEE ITEMS An impressive crowd of UTM faculty, administra¬ tion. staff, coaches, athletes, and press were on hand last week to welcome the new Lady Pacer Basketball Coach, Anne Strusz, to the Martin campus.

FIRST, If your account is not active, we will not charge you any service charges over the summer. Your account will stay open at no charge until you come back next fall. SECOND, all you have to do in the fall is deposit your money. You can avoid the hassle of coming to the bank to re-open your account by informing the bank of your new address if it changes next fall. THIRD. all of your checks and deposit slips will remain useful when you return. FOURTH, your Instabank card will still be active without you having to apply for a new one. It's easier on us. And much easier for you. YOU MAY WISH TO CLOSE YOUR ACCOUNT BEFORE LEAVING SCHOOL. IF SO. THE SAME ACCOUNT CAN BE RE-OPENED THIS FALL. TO MAKE NEXT FALL SEMESTER EASIER. HOWEVER.
