By Valli Covert Editor in Chief Copywright Feb. 16, 1989 by Valli Covert. Oklahoma County District Attorney's office will not file charges in the death of a 27-dayold infant who lived in Central State University's married-student housing. In a prepared statement, Patrick Morgan, first assistant district attorney, said Tuesday, "after careful review of the investigation reports we are of the opinion that at this time there is insufficient evidence on which to base a criminal charge against the person or persons who may be responsible for this child's death. "The investigation revealed
Congressional delegation says,
Education key to economic recover By Tim Ray Special to The Vista Education will provide the means to rebuild the state of Oklahoma and the nation to prominence and is the only truly effective weapon in the war on drugs, members of Oklahoma's congressional delegation told those in attendance at the "Salute to Congress" hosted Friday, Feb. 10, by the Nigh Institute of State Government at Central State University. The rare gathering of nearly every member of Oklahoma's congressional delegation resulted in a sell-out crowd of 600 guests—including more than 100 CSU students, faculty and staff members—for the banquet and reception hosted by the Ngh Institute, headed by former Gov. George Nigh. The only dignitary missing was senior U.S. Sen. David Boren, who was detained in Washington, D.C., by a meeting of the Senate
Intelligence Committee, which he chairs. Many of the congressmen expressed hope and confidence in President Bush's pledge to be an education president. "I want to help President Bush be an education president," said 3rd District Rep. Wes Watkins. "But if we're going to be the number one nation in the world in terms of commerce and military strength, we have to be number one in education". "The only way to turn things around is by investing to have the brightest minds in the world. And I would like to see Oklahoma take the lead," Watkins said. 6th District Rep. Glenn English, who has been a leader in the fight against drugs, said education is the key in such a war which involves a determined foe that is better financed that the U.S. efforts to curb the drug flow. "Education is our ultimate weapon in our war on drugs,"
English said. "If there is a single front on which the war can be won, it's with education. This is a war we cannot afford to lose." 2nd District Rep. Mike Synar said shortfalls in education are hindering the nation as well as individuals. More than 23 million Americans are functionally illiterate, which is a higher figure that the number of people who are unemployed, Synar said. Also, one out of four ninth-graders today won't finish college. "I don't think we can rely on the vending-machine policies of the past," he said. "The true test of success will be measured in people's lives. Does every Oklahoman and American have the opportunity to share in the American dream?" Individuals should take the initiative to improve current conditions, Synar said. "One person can make a difference," he said. "It's only through individual responsibility
Bids taken for projects By Kamal Mazlan Staff Writer Central State University will soon advertise bids for for a $35,000 electrical upgrade project at Howell Hall and a $15,000 study of the campus drainage system, Director of Purchasing Ron Mattingly said. "We'll probably advertise the electrical bid next week in the Oklahoma Journal, a business publication based in Oklahoma City," he said. Mattingly said he will also send a copy of the bid to the Oklahoma City office of McGraw-Hill Dodge Reports, a construction
news publication for Oklahoma companies. The electrical project was approved last November by the Oklahoma Regents for Higher Education. Mattingly said CSU's purchasing office is advertising the drainage bid in the Oklahoma Journal for three weeks in March. Also, a copy of this bid will be send to McGraw-Hill and a few land survey companies that have expressed interest in the project. The objective of the electrical project is to upgrade electrical sources at Howell and Mitchell halls.
"Built 50 years ago, Howell Hall had adequate electricity. Today, however, the hall carries a lot of scientific equipment, including personal computers. "In fact, if they were to buy a big equipment now and plug in, it's not going to work. Hopefully, the additional electrical power will be sufficient well into the 1990s," Mattingly said of the project, which is part of a $1.3 million renovation of the hall. He said Howell Hall is the biggest user of electricity on campus because it is a science department. The drainage study, approved Please see Howell on page 8.

that the state medical examiner is of the opinion that the child's death was a homicide." Corey B. Carter, of Broncho II Apartments, 600 N. Chowning. died shortly after being taken to Edmond Memorial Hospital Aug. 30. The autopsy report from the State Medical Examiner's Office indicated the infant died from blunt force trauma to the head. The baby sustained two broken collarbones, a broken right tibia, a swollen brain and a skull fracture, according to medical examiner records. He also suffered from a low body temperature of 84 degrees, according to CSU police Sgt. Ed Forbes. Carter's grandmother, who asked that her name not be used, said when contacted Tuesday night there has been too much publicity already and facts have not been given to the press. "Talking about it upsets us, we are angry about it (the investigation). I know for a fact the baby was not beaten. The whole manner in which it was handled was wrong." "The baby's father wouldn't even let a cat around him. She said her daughter and son-in-law Please see Baby on page 8.
No violation of law, says Jacob, Eisner By Valli Covert Editor in Chief The state of Oklahoma's nepotism law states it is unlawful for any executive...officer to appoint or vote for appointment of any person related to him by consanguinty within the third degree, to any position...in any department of the state...of which he is a member, when the salary...is to be paid by public funds or the fees of the office. Dr. Clyde Jacob, vice president of academic affairs, said he was not in violation of the state's nepotism law when he recommended his sister, Wanda Johnson who is an instructor in the College of Education, to President Bill Lillard for employment. Jacob said he did not know Johnson had applied for the position until the recommendation from education Dean Kenneth Elsner came across his desk. Johnson is employed as a psychology and personnel service instructor. According to Elsner, whenever a faculty position is available, advertisements are sent out and applications are received by the college. A screening committee then selects the best qualified ap-
plicants and recommends them to the chairperson of the department. The chairperson then submits his recommendation to the dean, who in turn submits it to the vice president, then the president and ultimately the Board of Regents for Oklahoma Colleges for approval. Elsner said he was aware Johnson was Jacob's sister, but the committee was unaware of it. Jacob also indicated the committee had no prior knowledge Johnson was his sister. Jacob said he discussed the issue with Lillard before recommending Johnson for employment. "We have been above board about this whole issue," Jacob said. "We did not want anyone to question whether we were in violation of any law." Jacob said he wanted the most qualified candidate to receive appointments, and the quality of education and professors were his top priorities. The Vista learned of the issue when sent an anonymous letter which indicated Johnson was Jacob's sister. Jacob said the regents had also been sent a copy of the letter, Please see Jacob on page 8.

Viewpoints Clock needs repairs; all should pitch in By Valli Covert Editor in Chief Old North Tower's clock is a symbol of Central State University. It is probably one of the best known buildings on campus. Old North was first occupied in Jan. 1893.
Editorial One wonders why the clock does not work. As far back as 1977, there was an article printed in The Vista about the clock being at least a half hour slow. Why is nothing done to correct the problem?
logo is Old North. It is on letter heads, envelopes and even the campus phone directory. Isn't it time to rejuvenate it, to make CSU look the best it possibly can? Do the alumni care enough to pitch in and assist in the repair of the clock? Faculty, administration, support staff and students all need to help in a very big undertaking to repair the clock. Not only will it improve the appearance of campus, but will also help a lot of students who need to know what time it is. So many times, people are reminded CSU has a passive attitude when it come to university functions.
When the bells ring, one can hear them all over campus. It is a beautiful, relaxing, pleasing sound. One looks up to see what time it is when the bells ring, and invariably, the clock is wrong.
Let's band together and help beautify the campus by fixing Old North.
It is time for a group or many groups on campus to adopt Old North's clock, and get it the treatment it needs.
Our centennial celebration will soon be upon us. Let's make one of our landmarks a source of pride.
People from all around the state and country know CSU's
All it would take is togetherness, and pride in the Bronze and Blue.

Water causes 'Frosh 1 0,' writer says To the editor: The question has been raised: Why do so many freshmen coeds gain 10-15 pounds? The article in the Feb. 7 issue of The Vista clearly demonstrates how divisive and controversial this issue is. The freshmen coeds blame loneliness and the cafeteria food. The cafeteria workers blame the freshman coeds (and mashed potatoes and gravy). Dr. Stanley Rogers says womanhood itself may be the culprit. Enough already. I'll tell you the real cause of "Freshman 10," it's the water.

By Hazel Lynch Student Writer
A long time ago (back when I was in high school), I went to some sort of science fair at the Omniplex. I remember making a piece of paper all by myself, and pedalling a bicycle to make lights light up.
When the student enters his chosen field, what will he remember about college?
Anyhow, after these prunes were melted, they ran them through a centrifugal blender-type device, and then through some sort of filter. And what oozed out

Grades, profs important
Letter
I also remember a little woman in a booth, she was giving out samples of a pale yellow liquid. The sign over the booth read: TASTE PURE CALORIES, and come to find out what she had done was she had heated prunes until they had melted down, (I don't recall the precise melting point of prunes; you'll have to consult a periodic table).
plenty of rest, and Chase that rainbow. Go out for drinks a lot (if you're 21, beer would be the best thing in the world for you). And always remember: CSU is a great place to visit. Even living here isn't total hell, just don't drink the water.
There is no question about grades being important. The University of Oklahoma and Okahoma State University soon will require a grade point of 3.0 or higher for admission. Every student shares in the joy of a good grade. And it is known that some who made low grades took their own lives. Many men and women have succeeded in life without college grades but they could have been more successful with higher education. The professors that dispense knowledge in the college classroom may not know
everything in their field. However, the knowledge is available. The professor who realizes that the student in his class is struggling to gain knowledge, and offers extra help, is a "Ruby of great price." It must be a real jolt for an expert professor to enter a classroom and realize that every student has read what is the assigned text book. There are at least two types of teachers. One is the person who upon entering the classroom, lets his gaze rest upon each student and asks himself this question, "Whom of my students this term will learn beyond my teaching? Who will struggle to suceed? Who will get an A without cracking a book? Who will use the learning in this classroom to enrich someone else?"
The other type of teacher enters the classroom and groans at a room full of dunderheads. He says, "If it wasn't for the money, I wouldn't teach." This teacher has no interest in education at all. The students will probably discover the teacher's faults as well as his fault-findings within a few class periods. However, the student doesn't usually discover his grade standing until the end of the semester. And if the student does not plan to attend OU or OSU, his grades may not be important. The professor who shares the experiences of his own education problems is truly a "Ruby of great price." This professor begins the semester with hope instead of promised torture. But, when the student is out in his chosen field, which professor will he remember with respect?

Jazz bands to play in Wichita festival By Kay Lynn Pumphrey Student Writer The Central State University jazz ensembles and Jazz Combo will be participating in the Wichita Jazz Festival April 28-30 in Wichita, Kan. "Jazz ensembles I and II, along with the Jazz Combo, will compete at the collegiate competition on April 28 with university jazz bands from around the country," said Lee Rucker, CSU marching band director. "Among these universities are the University of Oklahoma, University of California and many others." The jazz bands are directed by
Dr. Kent Kidwell and Lee Rucker. "This is the most prestigious jazz festival in America," said Rucker. "This is the thirteenth year that the bands have participated in the festival." "The first jazz ensemble won six out of the 13 times it's competed. The second ensemble won its competition last year, and the Jazz Combo has won two in five years of competition," Rucker said. The winning band is given the privilege to play in the Wichita concert on Sunday with nationally acclaimed jazz musician Wynton Marselis, the Tonight Show Band and other jazz artists.

Chorale sings in Wichita By Tim Earley Student Writer The Central State University Concert Chorale has returned from Wichita, Kan., where they performed with the nationally renowned Wichita Symphony, according to Dr. Lon Dehnert, director of choirs at CSU. The Wichita Symphony invites two college choirs to perform with them each year, Dehnert said.
"This year marks the first time the group has included an out-ofstate choir," Dehnert said. The other college choir that performed was from Tabor College in Hillsboro, Kan. "We had two magnificent concerts," Dehnert said. "We had packed houses for both performances and sang for about 4,000 people." Dehnert considers this experience a good preparation for the choir's upcoming engagement over the Memorial Day weekend at Carnegie Hall in New York City. "The trip to New York is not restrictive to singers," he said.
"Anyone who wants to go with us can. It will cost them the same as it does us. They enjoy the same things that we enjoy, plus they get free tickets to the concert." The cost for the New York excursion is approximately $800. The Concert Chorale also has a tentative date for a chorale symposium the summer of 1990 in Ireland. Two American choirs and one European choir will attend. For more information about the Concert Chorale or the New York trip, call 341-2980, ext. 5004.

Hall of fame inducts nine state journalists By Mei Pong Staff Writer A veteran of more than 60 years in journalism, the founder of an ethics foundation and a World War II correspondent were among nine veterans of journalism inducted Feb. 10 into the Oklahoma Journalism Hall of Fame at the Sheraton Century Hotel in Oklahoma City. The inductions were made at the annual mid-winter convention of the Oklahoma Press Association. The ceremony was conducted by Leland Gourley, president of the Oklahoma Press Association for 1989, and Dennie Hall, assistant professor of journalism at Central State University and director of the hall of fame. The list of inductees included Roy Stewart, a veteran of more than 60 years in journalism; Edith Gaylord Harper, founder of the Ethics and Excellence in Journalism Foundation, a former Associated Press Washington correspondent and the current secretary and director of the Oklahoma Publishing Company; Tom Yarbrough, a World War II correspondent who spent his later years at the St. Louis PostDispatch; and Freda Ameringer, who was involved in the operation of Oklahoma City newspapers for more than a half century. Also inducted were Richard David Story, senior editor of New York magazine; Byron Vest
Boone, publisher of the Tulsa World for almost 30 years; Joe White McBride Jr., publisher of the Anadarko Daily News; Chuck Ervin, award-winning writer for the Tulsa World; and Channing E. Guffey, founder of Guffey's Journal. In person to receive the award were Stewart, Ervin, Guffey and McBride. Susan Brown, daughter of the late Ameringer, and Jim Standard, executive editor of the Daily Oklahoman received the plaques on behalf of Ameringer and Harper. Story and Yarbrough were not represented. According to Hall, the nine journalist who were chosen this year were selected from 58 nominations. "Most of the nominations were made by journalists from all over the state," Hall said. The nominations were then screened and voted upon. The Journalism Hall Of Fame was founded in 1971 and is sponsored by the Central State University Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists in cooperation with the Oklahoma professional chapters of the Society of Professional Journalists and the Oklahoma Press Association. The hall each year honors up to nine journalists who have distinguished themselves in Oklahoma or who are natives of the state with outstanding careers elsewhere.

AIDS studied at seminar
By Mary Wilcox Student Writer The Bronze Key Chapter of Central State University's Mortar Board sponsored a seminar about AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) and its effects on modern lifestyles Feb. 13 at the University Center. Margaret Enright, a health and sex education spokesperson for
Planned Parenthood of Oklahoma, discussed information on safer sex practices and demonstrated a shortened version of the Safer Sex Workshop that Planned Parenthood provides for the public. Planned Parenthood uses the workshops not only to educate people on safe sex practices, but to expand sexual behaviors

through careful partner selection and ways to approach partners about safe sex, Enright said. Two other speakers, Joan Foreman and Ken Miller, shared their personal experiences of how AIDS had affected their lives. Foreman's brother had recently died of AIDS and she spoke of the fear she felt the first time she was around her brother, Mike, after he had been diagnosed. Foreman said she finally realized how ridiculous her fear was and then dedicated herself to making the rest of her brother's life as easy and happy as possible. Since her brother's death she has started a touch therapy program with AIDS patients. The idea started when she began giving Swedish massages to her brother during his illness. "After Mike's death I wanted to do something to give tribute to his life," Foreman said. "The therapy is the best way I know to do that." Miller said he was diagnosed with ARC (AIDS Related Complex) in November, 1986. Depression hit him instantly and he stayed in bed for the first three months after he was diagnosed. "Some days I would wake up so stiff and sore and hate life so much, I gave up and attempted suicide," Miller said. He realized after his attempt that he had a life to live and that staying busy and keeping a positive attitude was the only way he could endure living with AIDS. Working with other AIDS patients, going to my support group and enjoying each day is how I deal with my disease, Miller said.

Tassin requests full-time staff By Karl Knapp
February 16, 1989 § The Vista § page 5
no decision has yet been reached.
Student Writer The journalism department has requested two full-time instructor positions for the fall semester to perform the work of the five adjunct faculty members now on staff, said Dr. Ray Tassin, chairman of the journalism department. A record number of journalism students have enrolled for the spring semester, Tassin said. Final enrollment figures were not available, but he estimated more than 900 students, which would break last spring's record of 700. These figures coupled with last fall's record enrollment of 1103 students are reason for adding two more full-time instructors to the existing five full-time journalism faculty positions, Tassin said. "It's critically important to return to full-time status," Tassin said. Dr. Albert Lynd, assistant vice president of academic affairs, said that faculty needs for next semester are being evaluated but
When a decision has been reached, Dr. Clyde Jacob , vice president of academic affairs, will present CSU president Dr. Bill Lillard with the faculty increase requests, and Lillard will have final approval, Lynd said.
Ramses exhibit trip slated

Student Writer The department of humanities and philosophy will sponsor a one-day trip March 11 to Dallas to view the "Ramses the Great" exhibit. Dr. Margaret Flansburg, professor of humanities and philosophy, said the exhibit will be in Dallas from March 5-Aug. 22 and includes 73 artifacts on loan from the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. The exhibit has been on display in Memphis, Denver and Boston since 1986, when Egypt agreed to allow the exhibit to tour the United States. Flansburg was able to view the exhibit while in Boston and said
Hammack said it's a benefit for students to have instructors working in their teaching field. This will give the students insights to jobs later, Hammack said. Hammack said she would consider returning to teach in the fall if she is asked. She teaches introduction to advertising, and advertising and copy layout. The other adjuncts are: Bob Lee, business newswriting; Paul Renfro, principles of public relations; and Lu Hollander, magazine editing II and typography.

although it contains a 25-foot tall statue of Ramses, it also contains other artifacts from the period Ramses ruled: including a 19-pound gold necklace, art work in precious metals, decorated coffin lids, pitchers and bowls. Lilian Boland, professor of humanities, saw the exhibit in Memphis and said it was an extraordinary collection of Egypt's treasures. Boland said Ramses was an Egyptian pharaoh born around 1290 B.C. who began rule in Egypt at a young age. At the time

CSU 13-boilers nipped By John Lukehart Student Writer Central State could not find the mark Monday night and dropped their second road game in a row to Abilene Christian 89-86. CSU shot only 29 percent from the field in the first half and converted only four of 18 from threepoint land. Meanwhile, the Wildcats were hitting 64 percent of their attempts including 50 percent from behind the three-point stripe.
CSU trailed at the half 47-39 before they began to pick up the pace. CSU outscored the Wildcats 47-42, but the five points were not enough to make up the difference. Abilene raised their record to 5-18 overall with a 2-9 record in the Lone Star Conference, while the Bronchos dropped to 8-15 and 3-8 in the conference. CSU basketball coach Jim Seward felt like CSU's poor shooting was the reason for the Broncho loss.
INTRAMURAL LEAGUES
CSU was led by junior forward Kelvin McCain's 24 points. Bobby Harris continued to swipe the boards, as he finished with a game-high 17 rebounds. CSU is preparing for their final homestand this week as they battle East Texas State on Saturday and then Texas A&I on Monday. Both games are scheduled to begin at 8 p.m in Broncho Field House.
"Our rhythm wasn't there," he said. "Our game suffered because of our poor shooting." However, Seward feels like the Bronchos are on their game now. "We're trying to finish the season on a high note," he said. "We played really well on the road. We were just a couple of plays away from winning three games."
we're glad to be home. Our last two games have been real tough. They're as good as anybody in the nation." The Lady Bronchos return home after a successful road trip where they won three of four games against highly regarded teams. Abilene Christian's Lady Wildcats were ranked 16th in the nation in the NAIA's latest poll. CSU was led by Shawn Williams with 21 points and Albertine Jennings with 14 rebounds. Jennings averaged 25 points and 19 rebounds in her last two games. CSU's Lady Bronchos are preparing for their final homestand against East Texas State on Saturday and then with Texas A&I on Monday.

Broncho tennis team sweeps tournament By Andrew Smith Student Writer Central State men and women's tennis team made a clean sweep by defeating Northeastern University as well as Edmond High School in the Broncho Doubles Tennis Classic Tournament last weekend at the Edmond Racquet Club. After the match, Broncho tennis coach Francis Baxter had nothing but high regard for his players. "They are more prepared this year than other teams I've had," Baxter said. "They have good talent and are working hard. I'm not surprised. We have high quality people who are naturally talented." Picking up the doubles victories for CSU were freshman Steve
Hedrick and sophomore Mont Roper, and sophomore Jennie Biswell and senior Julie Skelton. "I thought we'd be able to get to the finals," Roper commented. "Though the last match I had some doubts." Hedrick and Roper defeated former CSU player Fred Pederson and Edmond High senior Eric Steele 6-3, 6-4 in the men's final, while Biswell and Skelton defeated CSU team members freshman Anna Britton and senior Raquelle Willette 6-1, 7-5 to win the women's final. The men's next opponent will be Oral Roberts at 1 p.m. Feb. 24 at the Edmond Racquet Club. The women will return to action March 3 at ORU.

Wildcats scratch CSU lady cagers By John Lukehart Student Writer Central State's Lady Bronchos came up a little short Monday night in Abilene as they fell to the Lady Wildcats 80-73. CSU matched the Lady Wildcats punch-for-punch in the first half, before knotting the score at 42 at half-time. In the second half the Lady Bronchos shot 29 percent from the field, while the Lady Wildcats hit 35 percent. With one minute to go, the Lady Bronchos had trailed by only a single point. Lady Broncho basketball coach John Keely thought the difference was the Lady Wildcats free-throw shooting down the stretch. "They hit their free-throws when they had to. We got beat on the free-throw line," he said. "Our kids are playing well, but

conference preceding the banquet. "But it's not going to be solved by federal dollars alone. We've got to get the states and other entities involved with it."
First District Rep. Jim Inhofe noted that President Bush singled out education and technology in his budget proposal, which President Reagan never did. "And that went over quite well

"The study will also provide us with a topography map so that we can look at the contours of the campus, including all curbs, sidewalks and parking lots," Mattingly said. "CSU is doing the drainage study for the first time in its history. One reason is the Edmond water rates have jumped up almost 200 percent. Another reason is some colleges nation-
wide have found such study to be very beneficial," he added." Mattingly said CSU consumed 4,612,000 gallons of water in November of 1987 costing $5,672, compared to 5,585,000 gallons in November of last year costing $14,155. "Wantland Stadium is the biggest water consumer because physical plant workers have to keep the grass alive and in good condition for all seasons. "The study will show us a costefficient way to use water and possible alternate water sources, such as digging our own wells for irrigation," Mattingly said. "CSU wants to keep the campus attractive. Prospective students will choose college based on ap-
Baby Continued from page 1 were gentle, loving parents and would never hurt the baby. "Corey was a good baby, you could not ask for a better baby," she said. "He was not a fussy baby." She said Carter was her first grandchild and everyone loved him. "My son-in-law was in with my daughter when she had Corey, and he was so proud of that baby. He said 'this is my son.' I couldn't ask for a better son-in-law," the grandmother said. "We are hurting. Everytime my daughter hears something about it, she asks me why they have to say those things (about the baby being beaten)—they are untrue." The baby's grandmother said she believed the baby died of crib death, and resuscitation attempts may have caused some of the injuries to the baby. The baby's father is enrolled at CSU this semester, according to

university records. CSU Police Chief Bob Roberts shortly after learning charges would not be filed said, "We new that it was circumstantial in the beginning. That's all we had. "The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation used the latest technology and went over every inch of the apartment. "We did everything we could. Unless something new comes along, the case will remain open," he said. Morgan said he could not comment on the investigation except to say CSU and Edmond police did everything they could. "They ran down every lead and did everything we asked them to. "This is a plea for help. I'm hoping somebody, somewhere knows what happened and will come to us," he said. Carter's grandmother expressed the same feeling. "I want facts, I want answers," she said.
Jacob. Continued from page 1 however Linda Grantham, chairwoman of the audit committee for the regents, said she had no knowledge of one. Regents' president Jack Annis was unavailable for comment. Scot Fern, ad hoc liaison for higher education in the state attorney general's office, said Wednesday he had also received a copy of the letter and wrote to Lillard asking if the allegation was true. Fern said Joyce Mounce, vice president for administration, called him and indicated Jacob would have nothing further to do with his sister's career at CSU. "If in fact he (Jacob) has no say so, no actual decision, then technically there is no violation of the nepotism law. "If that is inaacurate, then it would be my opinion he could not participate in the future. It would be a violation," Fern said.

Fern said personal policy would lead him to recommend that the university not employ Johnson if he would have been asked for a ruling beforehand. "The most appropriate action would be the employee could ask the attorney general for an ethical opinion, and so could Dr. Jacob, or the board of regents could request a formal opinion," Fern said. Mounce confirmed this morning that she had talked to Fern. She also sid she would like to know who sent the letter, she believes it was done maliciously. The faculty handbook indicates if a person is employed, and a close relative is his supervisor, then arrangements must be made through the next higher supervisor to govern the employee. Johnson refused to comment.
