Graham, Garland win SA presidential election
Bv ROBERT SHELTON
Staff Writer
NT students elected Rob Graham presi-
•«iul Greg Garland vice president of
... dent Association for the 1984-85
ycai 3nd adopted a constitutional amend-
ment providing two faculty and one ad-
ministrative representative to the SA.
During Wednesday's and Thursday's
election, there were 1.192 ballots cast,
about 5 percent of NT's enrollment.
The Graham-Garland ticket received
a majority of the votes cast for president.
591 out of 1.172 votes.
Tim Newell and Andy Wallace fin-
ished second in the presidential election
with 215 votes. The ticket of Troy Mitch-
ell and Christopher Gilliam finished third
with 194 votes. David Henderson and
Marilyn Jett received 136 votes and Scott
Boone and David Morton finished last
with 36 votes.
The amendment to the SA constitu-
tion providing two faculty representatives
from the Faculty Senate and an adminis-
trative representative appointed by the NT
president, was adopted 606-211.
SA president Lee Ann Woods said,
"1 feel any of the teams would have made
a good SA president. I think Rob has a
great deal of experience on the SA."
Woods said the adoption of the consti-
tutional amendment reflects students' atti-
tudes toward faculty members and the
administration.
Woods said she was disappointed in
the low voter turn out, although she said
she was not surprised. "1 was a little
disappointed that so few people voted
because there were so many candidates
on the ballot."
Winners of representative scats are:
College of Arts and Sciences—Diana
Bryant, 233; Curt Dixon. 231; Ronda
Jones, 219; Karen Mailloux, 214; Craig
Craft, 213; and Phillip Hernandez, 209.
College of Business—David Doughty,
210; Karen McKenna. 180; Bobby Blan-
cliard, 170; and Linda Miller, 157.
School of Music—David Dorbin.
College of Education—Gary Sims.
Winners of at-large representative seats
are: Sara Barber, 636; Bobby Collins,
492; Mindy Rogers, 447; Paula Haywood,
437; Scott Rudsenske, 393; and Jay Mc-
Cullough, 384.
Students in colleges or schools with
less than 750 student will elect their repre-
sentatives next fall. David Wyrostek, SA
vice president and director of rules and
elections, said this is so the assembly
won't be too large for the fall.
Dorbin was the only candidate for the
School of Music seat, although two seats
were open, Wyrostek said So, six can-
didates were elected at large instead of
five.
This election was the first to be con-
ducted under the SA's new electoral
amendment. The amendment changes
Article II of the SA Constitution, which
states the composition of the assembly.
The constitution now bases representa-
tion on colleges and schools at NT and
includes at-large representatives.
The amendment provides for one rep-
resentative to be elected for every 750
student in a college or school with candi-
dates running from the college or school
they are enrolled in. Colleges or schools
with less than 750 students will elect one
representative. Students with undecided
majors are placed in the College of Arts
and Sciences.
The new amendment provides one
at-large representative for every 2,000 stu-
dents at NT. If there is an open seat in
any constituency, that seat will become
an at-large seat.
Assembly passes bill
for disciplinary actions
By DENISE KOHN
Staff Writer
The Student Association passed a bill Wednesday
that, if complied with by NT departments and offices,
would document that proper procedures are followed
in all disciplinary matters involving students.
The bill states the Dean of Students Office should
develop a checklist to use throughout disciplinary
procedures. After each step in the disciplinary process,
the checklist would be signed by the student and adminis-
trator involved. Under the bill, the same checklist would
be used by all NT offices and departments for disciplin-
ary matters involving students.
In Wednesday's meeting, SA cabinet members David
Henderson and Lillian German said they believed the
Dean of Students Office has not ethically handled stu-
dent disciplinary cases. German and Henderson said
they believed intimidation has been used against stu-
dents during these eases.
Dr. Mary Yates, Union director and SA adviser, said
the Dean of Students Office does not have to comply
with the bill "The bill is a formal endorsement of a
proposition deemed important enough by an assembly
to warrant special consideration."
THE BILL WAS INTRODUCED first as a resolu-
tion but was amended to become a bill. "A bill has
much more credibility and force than a resolution,"
Yates said. "A resolution is a formalized suggestion
that is put forth by an assembly for consideration by
the office or group the resolution is addressed to."
Henderson, author of the bill, said several NT stu-
dents have said they were denied due process in disci-
plinary matters.
Clinton Crowley, Fort Worth freshman, was placed
on disciplinary probation for allegedly selling a con-
trolled substance and was expelled from Bruce Hall on
a lesser violation in March.
Henderson said an official in the Dean of Students
Office did not follow the Code of Student Discipline
during Crowley's disciplinary procedings. In March,
Crowley said he was denied due process and was intimi-
dated by a member of the Dean of Students Office.
The code states, "He (the student) will be given cop-
ies of the Explanation of Disciplinary Procedures and
the charges, and he will be also be informed of the
names of any witnesses and their testimony."
HOWEVER, THE DENTON Chapter of the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union and Dr. Joe Stewart, dean of
students, reviewed Crowley's case and determined that
proper disciplinary procedures had been followed.
Harve King, associate dean of students, said the Dean
of Students Office already uses a checklist similar to
the one proposed in the bill. After the disciplinary pro-
cedure has been completed, a paper is signed by the
administrator and student involved stating that all proper
procedures have been followed. King said.
King refused to comment on Henderson's statements
that due process had been violated.
Henderson said, "The checklist would help both stu-
dents and the university. Students need something to
ensure that due process is followed, and the checklist
will protect the university against any student who claims
due process has been ignored."

NT President Al Hurley, speaking at a
ground-breaking ceremony for the Universi-
ty Services Building, said efficiency would
increase by housing coordinated services in
the same building.
The ceremony was Thursday at the con-
struction site between the football practice
field and intramural fields. An artificial plot
was used since the building site is a paved
parking lot.
Hurley; Winfree Brown, chairman of the
Board of Regents; Pat Fine, purchasing
director; Dale Phillips, bindery manager:
Steve Randall, director of university printing:
and George Watkins, central receiving man
ager, officiated at the ceremony
The new building will house the Print
Shop, Bindery and purchasing and central
receiving offices.
Brown said the 50,000-square-foot build-
ing would ensure better operations by bring-
ing those three functions under one roof.
He said the building would stand as proof
of NT's continued commitment to efficiency.
Hurley said department supervisors, in-
stead of university administrators, broke the
ground because they are the people who will
be providing services from the building.
Fred Pole, vice president of administra-
tive affairs, said the S2.7 million building
will be funded by Texas ad valorem taxes.
The building is scheduled to be completed
by February 1985.
Ray McFarlane. director of facilities plan-
ning and construction, said construction on
the building will begin next week.

An NT faculty member and student are organiz-
ing the campaigns of two Democratic presidential
candidates in Denton County for the May 5 Texas
caucuses.
Dr. Jim Danielson of the political science faculty
is chairman of the county campaign for former Vice
President Walter Mondale. Student Association presi-
dent Lee Ann Woods is the co-coordinator of the
county organization for Sen. Gary Hart. Representa-
tives of the Rev, Jesse Jackson, the other Democrat-
ic presidential contender, were unavailable for
comment.
Danielson said he supports Mondale because "he's
the best qualified man currently available to be presi-
dent of the United States."
Woods said she favors Hart because "I'm not a
one-issue person, and Hart is that way, too."
Danielson said, "His (Mondale's) positions reflect
the direction society has to take with its current and
future problems."
WOODS SAID, "1 think he (Hart) has a work-
ing knowledge of the situations facing the nation,
and he can see what path to take. I really think he
does represent a new generation of leadership—not
of age. but of thinking.
"He's one of the few candidates ever who actual-
ly took the time to write his ideas down in a book.
It's funny that many of his critics never take the
time to read his book.
"When people laugh about his 'new ideas' slogan."
she said, "they need to sit down and look at his
stands."
Danielson said, "Mondale has a lot of experience.
He has a background committed to the political pro-
cess as a legal prosecutor, a legislator, and he has
been involved in the executive process of the United
States government."
He said Mondale has the support of a broad
coalition— farmers, labor, minorities, small busi-
nessmen and educators. "He has a record of involve-
ment with all of them.
"There has been a great deal of talk in this cam-
paign about Mondale's involvement with special
interests," he said. "But the champion of special
interests currently occupies the White House."
However. Woods said Hart is not tied to special
interests, but to the entire community. "He has a
good rapport with business, minorities and women.
He represents a better cross-section of the country.
He did poorly in the big labor states, because of
Mondale's labor connections."
DANIELSON SAID he does not view Hart's rela-
tions with special interests in the same way, however.
"Hart sought, but did not receive, the support of
every group whose support he complains about
Mondale having."
Woods said Hart h the potential to defeat Presi-
dent Ronald Reagan in the November election "I
think the reason Reagan was elected in the first place-
was because people wanted a change. But they didn't
really get the change they wanted or needed. People
see through that now. Alter he (Hart) gets the
nomination, people will sec the clear difference
between him and Reagan."
Danielson said Mondale has done a great deal to
aid minorities during his career. "While he was a
member of the Senate, he helped to pass the Civil
Rights Acts of 1964 and 1965. The passage ol those
bills has opened opportunities for women and minori-
ties in this society."
Both Woods and Danielson said their candidates
do not agree with the current administration's poli-
cies on the arms race and the development ol ad-
ditonal, more destructive nuclear and chemical wea-
pons.
Woods said, "Hart supports a 'build-down - not
just of weapons, but also of weapon components.
such as the production of plutonium. We're sinking
billions of dollars into nuclear weapons, and once
they're built, they're obsolete.
"HE SUPPORTS the development of our conven-
tional forces—they're the ones that could be used
without the risk of total disaster."
Danielson said. "I think Mondale represents a posi-
tion best described as pragmatic and cautious in terms
of military strategy, deployment and spending."
Mondale is opposed to the B1 bomber and the
MX missile as they arc currently being planned, he
said. "He supports a mutually verifiable freeze on
nuclear and chemical weapons—he opposes the devel-
opment of chemical warfare, period."
Woods said Hail supports a closer watch on gov-
ernment spending. "These stories about wrenches
costing the government several hundred dollars can't
go on."
She sa; Hart suppor's ITAs—-individual training
accounts—which are funds to be set aside by busi-
nesses and their employees for retraining personnel
who lose their jobs due to technological change.
"Hart supports retraining as a solution to technologi-
cally based unemployment," she said, "instead of
subsidizing old types of jobs, w hich are becoming
obsolete."
She said she supports Hart's opposition to the wind-
fall profits tax, because she said the money drained
by the tax prevented oil companies from exploring
for new oil reserves.
DANIELSON SAID, "1 think he (Mondale) would
argue the basic cause of industrial malaise is trace-
able to large scale unemployment, traceable to high
interest rates
"It is very difficult for small and medium-sized
businesses to borrow money 1 hey have traditional-
ly been the greatest source of new jobs. Now, they
can't compete with large companies- they can raise
capital, but small businesses must borrow
