Volume 71, Issue 11 September 30. 1981 elected new ASNAU liaison By Katla Riley Associated students o f NAU has a new liaison council woman. She is Phoenix senior Cathy Krznarich, a telecommunications major. K rznarich is the winner o f Thursday’s runo ff election against Tempe junior Kimm Fagan. Krznarich received 869 o f the 1,268 votes cast. Fagan received 399 votes. As liaison, Krznarich's responsibilities will include overseeing the ASNAU darkroom, chairing ASNAU committees on housing and financial aids, representing ASNAU at local government meetings and acting as a liaison between campus organizations and ASNAU. In related action, ASNAU’s Supreme Court voted to award the revoked $25 deposits of two candidates to ASNAU’s scholarship fund. Kimm Fagan and Connie Wiegers both lost their election deposits for posting violations during the liaison primary campaign. There were no violations o f election codes during the run-off campaign, said Vicki Fimea, ASNAU’s chief justice. In other business, ASNAU officers voted 5-4 Thursday to set aside $250 o f their organizational allocations account for an alcohol awareness week. Acting on a mandate from the Arizona Board of Regents, ASNAU will sponsor an alcohol awareness week Oct. 12-16. The establishment o f a campus Bacchus group is also planned. Bacchus is a national alcohol awareness organization. Vice President of Administration and Finance Mike Morgan and Junior Councilman Chris McMahon led the opposition against the $250 allocation, claiming the alcohol awareness program is already overbudgeted. Vice President of Student Services Chris Jeffers said ASNAU should help support the program since it is sponsored by ASNAU. Anhauser-Busch, a beer distributor, has already donated $2,000 toward alcohol awareness week. 'v President Kenny Cail, whose vote decides a tie, broke a 4*4 deadlock by voting for the allocation. In other action, ASNAU will set up a phone service for students wishing to comment on their internship or $40 internship fee. Students who call in will also be asked questions about visitations and correspondance from professors, how they got their internship, etc. The number is 523-4971. ASNAU officers also approved six Homecoming royalty candidates. Queen candidates are Glendale. Calif, senior Kathy Fuller, Phoenix senior Michele Hood and Scottsdale senior Jan Lemon. Homecoming king candidates are Phoenix junior Mark Davis and Flagstaff seniors Cal Hall and Marty Murrillo. Royalty elections are Oct. 1. In other action, ASNAU officers: -aw arded $70 to Associated Women Students for reimbursement o f money spent on bunk-bed supports. -awarded $37 to Kappa Sigma for expenses incurred during their muscular dystrophy benefit. -recognized a new Campus Activity Board that will organize and promote campus events. -approved nine appointees to several of ASNAU’s campus-life committees. -announced that the deadline for submissions to the ASNAU calendar is the 23rd of each month. -announced the ASNAU announcement line will begin operating Oct. 1. The number 523-3880. -announced ASNAU-sponsored performances by Mickey Gilley and John Lee in the dome Oct. 15. There are still 27 unfilled positions on 16 ASNAU campus-life committees. Students interested in serving on a committeee should - stop by the ASNAU offices in the North Union. Deadline for applications is Oct. 1. Vacancies exisit in the following committees: curriculum, admission and scholastic regulations, dome policy, finacial aid, graduate council, health advisory, liberal studies, library, safety, scholarship, teacher education, university-organized research, university series dean’s discipline committee, university film progr'Sm and dean’s committee on student organizations ASNAU meets 3 p.m. every Thursday in the North Union, Room 208. The public is welcome to attend. Why do we eat the way we do? By Martha Swartwout Recently, eating disorders have been given attention in the national press. NAU is no different from any other univer-sity. There are women on campus who suffer from severe eating disorders, said Dr. Leonard Wright, Fronske Health Center director. The health center and counseling center both employ trained and experienced physicians and psychologists who are not only willing to help, but capable of helping students with these problems, said WrigftK "Now , with added personnel in the counseling department, we can get to the crux of the m atter," he said. Wright divided those with eating disorders into two general categories: those who have a distorted injage-W fthemselves and consequently cut ba?k extensively on their food in-take, and those who go on eating binges and then feel guilty and find a way to rid themselves o f the food they have eaten. The most important thing to note, said Wright, is that the disorders are symptopis of something larger a n d n u s t he treated. * “ Why do you fed you need to lose 30 or 40 pounds?” “ Why do you noLeat for days and then eat excessively?” These are the types of questions that must be resolved to get to the bottom of the matter, said Wright.

Parking on campus: Explanations for color-codes By Llaa B u rro w s With increased parking fines and students receiving more tickets, questions have been asked regarding parking designations. "The reasoning behind the color-coded parking lots is to put people who live in dorms as close to them as possible. There is also a female over male priority for security and safely reasons,” said Jim Mansfield, traffic and safety administrator. "Recently, faculty and staff color-coding has been revised. For instance lot 15 near the psychology building and across from Cottage City is now a staff-only parking lot,” said Mansfield. Reason for added parking lots and new coding is the change in the traffic pattern. “ Now that there are the new roads on the outer areas of campus there is more use of those open lots around those areas,” said Mansfield. "A new parking lot is being built on the corner o f Knoles Drive and Riordan Road. This new lot has been designated as an open lot to my knowlegde, however, on the map it is shown as a faculty and off-campus student lot,” said Mansfield. "M y idea o f efficient parking is high-rise lots. We could use the same amount of ground, but would accommodate eight times the parking space. There could also be offices on the top floor of the lo t," said Mansfield. Mansfield suggested that the ideal area, for a high-rise parking lot would be at the south end o f Cottage City. "Student services, which is presently scheduled for the Cottage City area, could be at the top o f the lot. This would give the employees a nice view. Also we could have covered walkways to Ardrey Auditorium and Cowden H all," said Mansfield. “ I really think this would be better use of the ground. We keep paving dirt. There is too much asphalt around here. If you look at this campus when the students are gone, it looks like one big parking lot,” said Mansfield. Mansfield said that there is a need for students living off-campus to have designated parking areas. "W e arent trying to ‘cheat’ campus residents of parking spaces. All faculty and staff lots are open lots between 4:30 p.m. and 7 a.m. “ Students should be able to walk to their destinations during the day. If they can’t, there are open lots near all of the classroom buildings. There is no reason to park in an unauthorized area," said Mansfield. “ On other campuses they have all open parking lots. I find that this woultfcause more problems for students. For example, students residing in Babbitt and Peterson halls would have a difficult time trying to park near their dorm because it is so close to the Liberal Arts building," Mansfield said. With the increase in parking lots and the change in traffic patterns, many revisions are being made in parking designations. Brain drain: Industry, money lure NAU faculty By Katie Riley Brain drain: depletion o f the intellectual or professional resources o f a country, region, etc., especially through emigration. -W ebster's New Wdfto Dictionary NAU is experiencing brain drain. Already some of our faculty have emigrated from education to the lucrative attractions of big business and industry. Brain drain is not unique to NAU. According to a recent Ford Foundation study, it is causing teacher shortages all over the country. Nationwide engineering programs, for example, are short some 2,000 instructors, the study states. The reason for the shortages-in engineering, math, the physical sciences-is well-documented. Education simply cannot compete with the high-paying benefits of industry. F o r eJtample. the average NAU 1981 graduate with a bachelor’s in mechanical engineering and no experience starts at $22,920 annually, said Otto Berg, Career Placement director. The average NAU assistant professor earns $23,048 for a nine-month period. “ An assistant professor with a Ph. D. and experience sometimes doesn’t earn as much as a student with a bachelor’s who goes into industry. There’s definitely a problem ," Berg said. This year, NAU’s engineering department lost only one faculty member to industry, but several professors have mentioned Industry’s attractions, said Clyde Holland, acting dean o f the College of Engineering. “ There are a number of faculty members who mention that it appears rather inviting on the industrial side,” Holland said. "The real problem is that the number of graduate students going into engineering b minimal. We’re depleting our teaching resources,” Holland said. Holland cited a recent Exxon Education Foundation program that is. designed specifically to overcome the shortage of engineering faculty members. The program provides grants for engineering graduate students and helps supplement the salaries o f junior, non-tenured faculty in 66 university engineering departments. ’ ‘The purpose of the salary supplement is to encourage junior faculty to stay in teaching positions when they are most vulnerable to job offers from industry,” according to a Sept. 23 Chronicle o f Higher Education article. Holland emphasized that education does have some advantages over industry-research time, summer vacations' and contact with youth, for example. Engineering is not the only field troubled by brain drain. The math department lost two faculty members this year to industry, said math chairman Michael Ratliff. The phenomenon is fairly recent, Ratliff said. The drain on math teachers may be due to a growing need for computer scientists, he said. NAU’s computer science major falls under the College of Engineering. "The bottom line is the ever-more present use o f computers. Industry and business need people to program those computers. A beginning computer scientist can make twice as much as a beginning (public school) math teacher,” Ratliff said. “ For people who are younger and whose salaries are not high, industry is an appealing alternative,” Ratliff said. Older, more established math instructors in d professors seem to be less tempted by industry, he said. But the shortage of math professors is very real. “ Five years ago when we’d advertise for a math faculty opening, we’d get between 200-300 applications or interest letters. Now we advertise and get 10-15.” Ratliff said. Math teacher shortages in the public schools have led to large numbers of uncertified teachers being asked to teach math classes, he said. Ratliff quoted a National Council of Teachers of Mathematics study that found 25 percent o f elementary and secondary-school math teachers are not certified to do so. Ratliff said another study in Los Angeles found 43 percent o f public school math teachers had not taken a college math course. To improve .these statistics, the math department * 0 offer a two-summer course for teachers,^beginning this June. At the end of the course, teachers will be accredited to teach math. "The emphasis will be to produce good-qualtiy math teachers," Ratliff said. The shortage of teachers qualified to teach math and other technical subjects is obvious even in NAU’s,College of Education. "They are being drained a long time before they make the committment to be teachers,” said Ed Sage, curriculum and instruction director. "Anyone who is committed to teaching will probably stay in teaching," he said. Sage said there are only two math student teachers this year, as opposed to the 6-10 of only a few years ago. Sage attributed the drop to industry incentives and to the schools themselves.
