embers of the 1998-1999 UCO Faculty Senate elected new officers at the April 23 meeting in the University Center. The new officers are: •President—Dr. Jere Roberson, professor of history and geography, 'Vice President—Dr. Gayle Kearns, associate professor of occupational and technology education, 'Secretary /Treasurer—Dr. James Mock, associate professor of humanities and philosophy, •Reporter/Historian—Dr. Anne Gleason, assistant professor of finance. A parliamentarian will be appointed by Roberson next fall. Outgoing Faculty Senate President Dr. Roberta Sloan leaves the senate after four consecutive years of leadership—two as president and two as vice president. Sloan said during her tenure with the senate, the organization was a very proactive and vocal presence on campus, but she believes the tone will be quieter with the new administration. She said the senate can look forward to working under President Webb because of his vision and concern for the university. "Webb is easy to work with," said Sloan. "His decision to hire 44 new faculty at a time of financial difficulty shows his absolute commitment to the university." Sloan said she believes the new leaders of the Faculty Senate will do an excellent job representing the concerns of faculty and professional staff at UCO.
