Business Administration
appoints new assistant deans
By Dena Fenoglio
Staff Writer
To better meet the needs of its
increasing enrollment, the College of
Business Administration at NT has
reorganized its dean’s office and ap-
pointed two new assistant deans.
Drs. J.B Spalding and Marcia j.
Staff are new assistant deans.
Spalding will serve as assistant dean
for student affairs. He replaces Dr.
Fairchild Carter, who recently retired
after 20 years on the business faculty.
“Mostly what I’m doing is working
with students,” Spalding said. “I
will be in charge of academic sus-
pension and wavers and probation, and
I will meet with student business
organizations.”
Spalding’s duties also include super-
vising academic advisors who assist
business majors, attending meetings
concerning undergraduate and doctoral
courses and representing the college
at various university functions.
“I’m meeting more of the students
this way, but I do miss the class-
room,” Spalding said. Spalding is
teaching one graduate course this
semester.
He joined the business college in
1970 as an assistant professor of sta-
tistics in the business computer in-
formation systems department.
Staff will serve in the newly created
position of assistant dean of academic
and public affairs. Her responsibilities
will include curriculum reviews and

reports on academic matters, in ad-
dition to coordinating public relations
for the college.
“I’m in charge of matters related
to policies and procedures and external
relationships,” Staff said.
There are over 6,000 majors in the
College of Business Administration.
“There was a need for some super-
vision and better liaison with the
business community and alumni,”
Staff said.
Staff joined the the NT business
faculty in 1979. She is an associate
professor of business law in the
finance, insurance, real estate and law
department.
Dr. Jay Smith, dean of the college,
said the addition of Spalding and Staff
will allow the college to better serve
its students as well as its alumni.
Dr. Henry Hays will continue as
associate dean of the college, a job
he has held since 1976. His respon-
sibilities include budgeting, personnel
and facilities matters. Hays is currently
a professor of management.

State council elects NT president as chairman
By Jay Johnson
Staff Writer
NT President A1 Hurley was recently elected chairman
of the Council of Public University Presidents and
Chancellors.
“The council’s main objective is to tell the story of
public higher education to the people of the state,
particularly the political leadership,” Hurley said
Thursday.
Hurley will serve a two-year term as chairman of the
council. It is composed of the 42 chief executive officers
of the public university systems and general academic
institutions in Texas.
Because the council members are state employees,
they are not allowed to lobby the Legislature on behalf
of higher education. They can provide information to
the Legislature, however, about issues affecting public

tell the story of public higher

leadership. 11

universities, Hurley said.
“In the last session (of the Legislature) more than
300 bills affecting higher education were introduced,”
he said. “We are asked frequently for our opinions on
those bills. The problem the legislators face is that they
are asked to make judgments on the impact of these
bills.”
The council also gives the heads of Texas public
universities the opportunity to discuss problems that they
have in common, Hurley said.
“Each university has specific requirements, but there
are issues that tie us together,” he said. “The function
of the council is to prepare a common agenda focusing
on the items that are important to higher education.”
For the past four years, Hurley has been the chairman
of the council’s State Affairs Committee, which has the
responsibility of preparing this agenda to present to the
council for approval. Hurley was also the vice chairman
of the council for the past two years.
Each university chancellor or president appears before
three committees and the Legislative Budget Board, which
recommends a state budget to the Legislature, while the
Legislature is in session writing the state budget for the
next biennium. The council members use this opportunity
Bicycle rules
going unheeded,
police chief says
By Chris Demers
Daily Reporter
Bicycle rules and regulations are
going unheeded, said NT Police Chief
Eric Jackson.
Many students are not aware of the
rules that govern where bikes are
allowed on campus, he said.
There are specific places around
campus where bicycle riders are sup-
posed to park their bikes. The bicycle
malls (areas around campus that have
bike racks) are the only places on
campus where it is legal to park bicy-
cles, he said.
There is an increasing number of
violators who park their bicycles any-
where they want. “We had to im-
pound some bikes the other day that
were parked on a wheelchair ramp.
That causes problems for a number
of handicapped people on campus,”
Jackson said.
Parking is not the only problem,
he said. People are also riding their
bicycles across the campus, which is
prohibited. “There are signs up
around campus, but some riders just
don’t see them. We are in the process
of getting some more signs so students
will be more likely to see them,”
he said.
It is hard to enforce the bicycle
regulations around campus, he said.
Some public service officers will
probably concentrate more on the inner
campus where they can ticket or im-
pound bicycles, he said.
When public service officers or
police officers find a bicycle in vio-
lation of the regulations, they may
write a ticket or impound the bike in
place. Impounding a bicycle in place
involves chaining it to something with
a police lock. Instructions on how to
get the bike released are printed on
the locks. If the bike is not registered
it Some people are
pretty resourceful when
it comes to getting their
bike loose. H

with the NT Police, it will be im-
pounded, Jackson said.
Registration of bicycles is done in
the Sullivant Visitors Center at Avenue
E and Eagle Drive. All bicycles that
are ridden to school must be regis-
tered.
“Some people are pretty resource-
ful when it comes to getting their bike
loose, so we usually have the day shift
impound bikes in place. If by the time
the evening shift comes, and the owner
hasn’t called, we impound the bike,”
he said.
To impound a bicycle the owner’s
lock is removed and the bike is taken
to the police station.
“We had to do this because we
were loosing a lot of locks. People
were just cutting the cables off,”
Jackson said.
Enforcement efforts have been con-
centrated on hazardous conditions
such as bikes parked on wheelchair
ramps.
But this will soon change, Jackson
said, because the parking problems
with the cars are being worked out
and there will be more people to
enforce the bicycle regulations, he
said.
Riding on campus is prohibited
because of a high risk of bicycle and
pedestrian accidents, he said. Although
it is hard to enforce these regulations,
“the university has a duty to keep
the inner-campus safe,” he said.
to remind legislators about issues the council considers
important, Hurley said.
“On the faculty salary issue, for example, the council
strongly recommended that it should receive the Legis-
lature’s most important emphasis," Hurley said. “So
when I was asked to testify about the NT and Texas
College of Osteopathic Medicine budgets, I urged the
Legislature to keep (faculty salaries) in mind.”
When the Legislature is not in session the council
gathers before every Texas Higher Education Coordinating
Board meeting, which is about every other month.
The council also periodically writes articles to keep
the public informed about higher education issues. Hurley
said the council took the lead in collecting data on the
numbers of faculty leaving Texas for teaching jobs out
of the state. The council then supplied that data to the
press.
KNTU receives OK
for more wattage
By Reggie Jackson
Daily Reporter
KNTU-FM88 received permission
Saturday from the Federal Communi-
cations Commission to begin construc-
tion on its new 100,000 watt radio
tower, said Russ Campbell, station
manager.
The station has been waiting for more
than a year to increase its wattage from
6,700 to 100,000 watts.
“We’ve been waiting a long time
and we’re excited to see something
finally happen," Campbell said.
Campbell said he hopes the contractor
can begin construction within the next
few days, but that a definite date had
not yet been set.
The tower will be constructed next
to the old missile base on North Locust
Street.
KNTU serves about one million
people in the Metroplex and surrounding
cities, but with the new wattage it will
be able to serve about three million,
Campbell said.
The tower will have two antennas.
The permit is for the construction of
the auxiliary antenna, but he expects
to hear from the FCC about a second
permit soon.
“Most FM stations don’t have an
auxiliary antenna It’s to protect a station
in Mesquite from interference,” he
said.
KNTU was authorized by the FCC
to operate on its auxiliary antenna on
weekends, summer vacations, holidays
or any other time the Mesquite station
is off the air, Campbell said
“We're doing programming that
serves the community,” he said.

OUTLOOK: SA ON CAMPUS—The Student Association was created
to help students by representing their views on campus issues. It is
also responsible for continuing NT traditions and making a variety ol
services available to students. How can SA represent those views when
the students themselves don’t even know what SA is all about.’ That s
where our question lies. See Page 2.
