Faculty forum to cover rights, responsibilities
Streakers flash Harvard classes
By Roy Howe Staff Writer
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — Harvard pre-med students got an unexpected lesson in anatomy when three naked men, believed to be from Princeton, sueaked through their chemistry classes. "It was stress relief," said Jeff A. Ferrell, a freshman. "It's a pretty tense class most of the time." The three interrupted two classes Monday morning, running down the aisles of the lecture halls and shouting "Go Tigers!" and "Go Princeton!" according to The Harvard Crimson student newspaper.
First sentence in Pepsi tampering nets prison term WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — A man who falsely reported a hypodermic needle in a can of Diet Pepsi was sentenced Tuesday to a year in prison. Christopher J. Burnette, 25, was the first person charged after dozens of bogus tampering reports around the nation last summer. He pleaded guilty to telling an emergency room nurse that a needle he found hi the can hit his tongue. He made a similar report to the local Pepsi distributor and later showed the can and syringe to the manager of a supermarket where he bought a 12-pack of Diet Pepsi. Within days of a tampering claim made June 9 by a Washington state couple, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration received more than 50 reports nationwide of needles found in soft drink cans.

An open discussion concerning faculty rights and responsibilities is scheduled for 2:30p.m. Monday in the Living Room area of the Home Economics Building. This forum is also open for student participation. The University of Central Oklahoma chapter of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) will sponsor the forum with a four-member panel to address questions. Panel members include Frederick McCann, State Regents for Higher Education; Lloyd Musselman, state AAUP president; UCO instructor and former president of the Higher Education Faculty Association, Bart Binning and Darry Carlstone, former UCO chapter AAUP president and UCO instructor. Tom Guild, AAUP president, said the forum will have multiple purposes that can benefit the seasoned professor as well as new members. "Newer faculty may not know what their rights and responsibilities are as faculty members," Guild said. He said that faculty members recently entering UCO may not be aware of the procedures to deal with complaints that could possibly injure their tenure later. Also to be discussed are responsibilities that tenured instructors face to guide those beneath them in their department. McCann will give insight as to where the State Regents are taking higher education and Musselman is to address the current censure against UCO. "It will be a very broad and diverse discussion," Guild said, "with people from varying backgrounds. It's a chance for people to air out some issues." Guild said that he plans to question each panel member and then open it up for questions from the AAUP members. The AAUPs membership is currently at an all-time high with 106. The organization's purpose is professional development said Guild. See FORUM, Page 7

Listed under "Decal/Hanging Permit Violations," item four reads as follows: "Any person who finds or gains possession of a lost, stolen or damaged decal/ hanging permit and uses it to park on campus is guilty of possession of a lost/stolen decal/parking permit and shall be fined $50, including impoundment of the vehicle at the expense of the owner/operator."
"This is in effect right now," Roberts said. "Whenever one of Bob Caldwell's (parking services) officers finds a stolen permit, we'll go impound the car." Vehicle release is handled through Bob Caldwell, manager of parking services. The fine must be paid first, then the owner must pay the wrecker service for the towing charge to recoup the vehicle.
