Byjunior high or high school, they are bored, i passive, alienated, and unhappy with their educational lives, he said. This, Shor said, carries over into college, where students have Honors Week hits full stride By Theresa Curry The Lu m b e rja c k Either the students are getting smarter or the professors are getting belter. The number of Northern Arizona University students achieving academic excellence is on the rise and next week is the time to recognize them. Monday kicks off NAU’s 14th annual Honors Week. “(Honors Week) is to acknowledge the accomplishments of all students who have earned at least 12 credit hours and have a GPA of 3.5 or above. It is to recognize academic achievement throughout the university," said Tamela Hyatt, honors week coordinator. Many events will be held by various colleges and departments to celebrate Honors Week. The Department of Mathematics will host James H. Matis, professor of statistics at Texas A&M L’niversitv. who will predict when “killer bees" will arrive in Flagstaff. “Those are in the news in Phoenix right now because they’re finding colonies in Phoenix, so all of these things are very pertinent to Flagstaff right now. There’s a lot of current information that will be brought up during honors week," Hvatt said. The Physics and Astronomy Department will host N. Frank Six of NASA who wil I give an update on the Hubble Space Telescope. Six has been with NASA since 1983 and has been working with the Hubble Telescope since 1986. Although all the speakers arejust as important in their fields, Matis and Six are expected to be the two premiere speakers next week because of their news-making topics, she said. Hyatt said she thinks the number of people participating in Honors Week may be growing. “I think last year we started receiving more support from the administration as far as publicizing and support in terms of wanting the departments to do things," Hyatt said. liana Landes, honors program office specialist senior, said quite a few of the department and college faculty and staff have been consistent in their involvement in Honors Week. “I’ve been here 10 years and (many colleges) have been repetitious in their sending out certificates and having recef£ tions and some of them are having convocations of their own. Some are turning around and saving, ‘Hey this sounds good'. " See HONORS, Page 8 Honors Program searches for new director By G.E. Roybal Tbc Lufnbcrjack The Monday dead! me for a new NAU Honors Program director has yielded five candidates. The director search, which was announced and advertised as an internal search throughout March, is aiming at selecting a new director bv the end of this month, said Siuaene Shipley* Coliege of Arts, and Science dean. Present Honors Program directorjoe Shaffer will hold on to th e position umil June SO, at which time he will move to the history department. Shipley said the decision to replace Shaffer is based on the desire to strengthen the program curricula. Admin isuative support has been missing from the program without a director who has a doctorate, she said. Find j ag a new di rector should not bit construed as an indication of Shaffer's leadership for the past three years, she said, “but we’re strengthening what needs to be strengthened." Nicholas Meyerhofer, associate dean of modem languages, echoed Shipley Is sentiments, praising Shaffer* stewardship of the pfogsam. The new honors head »hoaW be representative o f a senior acuity po-moo —■ with a doctorkte — to work in conjunction wit h ihe new curricula, he said. The search commitiec is “making sure whoever is chosen is a good match with this program,' he aid . Shaffer said he will miss the position* although he will still teach honors classes- "It was a he&uva lot of fun.*’ | Davis takes presidency* • Concerns arise over handling of write-in ballots t t h e L umberjac Northern Arizona University • Flagstaff, Arizona bulk rate U.S P06TAQE PAI D NORTHERN ARIZONA UNIVERSITY EL PASO TX 79903 Volume 94, Issue 11 © COPYRIGHT 1996 Wednesday, April 3, 1996 By Nora Burke Joyce The Lumberjack The votes have been cast and counted and Mark Davis will be the new president of the Associated Students of NAU. Davis took 58.7 percent of the vote, or 639 votes. Jeff Sears had 23.7 percent, or 258 votes. Melissa Halter had 15.9 percent, or 173 votes. Brian Davidson, senior, political science major, has been elected Vice President of Student Affairs. Jennifer Reichelt, sophomore, human resource managemen t major, has won the position of vice president of academic affairs. Both students ran unopposed. Amy Impson and Karen Lynn Roessig took Senator at Large positions. Impson had 61.8 percent, or 673 votes. Roessig had 64.1 percent, or 699 votes. This was a banner year for ASNAU elections, with 1,089 ballots cast. Last year, 687 students voted in the general ASNAU election and 566 voted in a run-off election. One member of the elections committee has some concerns as to how the election was handled. Brian St. John, chair of the elections commission, said there were some problems with the write-in ballots. If a voterwan ted to write-in someone for senator of a particular college, the voter was supposed to be from that college, St.John said. Tuition plan means increases could spike annually . Regents to discuss ideas that could equal hikes up to $174 a year in-state Slews Analysis Sy Ryan Van Benthuysen ■fhc Lumberjack f Yearly tuition hikes may become less than an option 4 - they could become a ritual. I The Arizona Board of Regents is considering a policy 4alled “indexing" for future &itk>n setting, f Indexing Defined [ Under the recently proindexing system, anI tuition would be based i factors such as the price of institutions, the Con-timer Price Index or the Education Price Index. The HEPI measures the change in prices of goods and services benight bv universities and colleges, including the salaries of faculty and staff. The CPI measures the goods and services bought by consumers. The indexi ng system would cause tuition to rise a set amount every year. “It is an attempt to make the setting of tuition a predetermined, predictable process," said University President Clara M. Lovett. Estimated yearly tuition increases would be based on an estimated 4 percent inflation rate. Three proposed phase-in periods — five, seven and 10 years — are being considered. U nder the five-year proposal. instate students would pay $174 more each year for five years and out-of-state students would pay $430 more each year. With a seven-sear phase-in period, instate tuition would cost $157 more each year for seven years and out-of-state tuition would cost $425 more each year. The 10-vear phase*in would ca use tui tion t o rise $ 148 each year for 10 years for instate students and 5434 each year for out-of-state students. The three separate proposals are based on an estimated 4 percent inflation rate derived from a national comparison of universities. Proposal pooRbilities Student Regent Mark Davis said if the proposal sees daylight it will m o t ttkely be in the form erf the teven-vcar phase-in. See TUITION.

The write-in votes are supposed to be paper-clipped to the ballots to ensure *the person voting was from the college. The write-in ballots were not paper-clipped and St.John said it was because of poor training of the polling volunteers. Voters are only allowed six write-in ballots, which St.John said wasn t monitored at some voting booths. Fraud was “very possible,” St. John said. Elections code requires, “The election resultsshouJd be tabulated the night of the general, special, or run-off election with notification given to the respective candidates as soon as possible." There is also a possibility a candidate may refute the way the ballots are counted because the elections code states the votes should be tabulated the night of the election, but, Sl John said, the elections code has not been adjusted to the See ELECTIONS, Page 8
