Number of

faculty
increases

LIFE Assistant News Editor	
Despite an increase in the
percentage of women and
minority regular faculty, a
faculty analysis reveals a gap
still exists at CMU.
Faculty Personnel Services
compiled the analysis of CMUs
regular faculty for the 1988-89
academic year, said Jon Darrow,
assistant vice provost/director of
Faculty Personnel Services.
The is the 17th regular faculty
analysis CMU has compiled and
Darrow said there are some
highlights from this year's
analysis.

University Health Services to get rid of X-ray services

"The proportion of women
regular faculty has continued to
increase," Darrow said. "It's
about 25 percent, which is the
highest it's ever been."
The percentage of minority
regular faculty has also
increased from 6.5 percent last
year to 8 percent.
"We now have 50 minority
faculty out of 625," Darrow said.
"The largest group we have is
Asians, and we have made
progress    with    blacks    and
Hispanics." >
Although there have been
increases in minority and women
faculty, Darrow said it is still a
slow, uphill battle to have a more
equal ratio.
"It's encouraging," he said.
"We're making progress, but it
won't happen overnight by any
means."

University Health Services will no longer offer
on-campus X-ray services to students — but will
instead contract the service through Central
Michigan Community Hospital.
As of July 1, 1989, UHS patients needing X-rays
will be transported to CMCH, UHS Director Ed
Brown said.
Although a contract between the University and
CMCH has not yet been signed. Brown said he
believes it will happen by the end of April.
The contract must be approved by James Hill,
vice president for Student Affairs, Brown said.
The contract would include provisions for
patient transportation to and from CMCH, Brown
said.
Brown said because physicians have drastically
decreased the number of X-ray requests through
the years, offering the service is no longer viable at
the University.
"The University has not increased (monetary!
support since 1985," he said. "With the tremendous
escalation of costs since then, we have no choice.
"Ten years ago, it used to be that physicians
ordered X-ravs in almost even,' instance of trauma,
but that isn't true anymore."
The reduction in X-rays is a result of concern
about overexposure to radiation. Brown said.
He said contracting X-ray services will save the
University approximately $50,000 per year.
In 1978, a medical consultant examined tlie
services UHS provided and concluded what
functions should be retained, eliminated and
contracted outside the University.
"At that time it was suggested the way to go was
to contract (X-ray services) out," he said.
The machine was in good shape then, however.
Now the machine is nearly 20 years old and Brown
said replacing it would cost the University in
excess of $100,000.
Brown said the price of X-rays at CMCH would
be higher than the fee charged by UHS, but not by
much. He added the outside contracting of the
service will not affect student health insurance
rates.
The equipment at CMCH's disposal is also more
advanced and offers greater capabilities, he added.
"If the health care here was anything less than
high quality. I wouldn't be here."
One UHS physician said he does not agree the

The provost's duty is to help identify the University's goals and
help it achieve them, said the first of three candidates invited to CMU
for the position.
The first provost candidate forum featured Phillip Thomas, dean of
the Fairmount College of Liberal.Arts and Sciences at Wichita State
University. Wichita, Kan.
"I see the role of the provost as identifying these resources to allow
our faculty to build a future for themselves and the University,"
Thomas said.
"Resource management is the toughest issue on campus. It is a
-zero-sum game in many cases."
Thomas addressed a current topic of concern at CMU — the function

Now two business fraternities
at CMU will have a "president"
of their own as an honorary
member.
Alpha Kappa Psi and Theta
Gamma Sigma, professional
business fraternities at CMU,
are inducting President Edward
B. Jakubauskas as an honorary
member this week.
"It's something we've been
working on and trying to do for a
while," said Tim Wyman, public
relations director for Alpha
Kappa Psi. "We got the idea last
semester, and asked him three
weeks ago."
Wyman. Flint senior, said the
president and vice president of
his group made an appointment
with Jakubauskas and made a
presentation about what the
group is and does.
"He was very receptive to the
idea and was happy to be an
honorary member," Wyman said.
Jakubauskas said he was
inducted into Theta Gamma
Sigma Thursday and would be
inducted into Alpha Kappa Psi
Saturday. The ceremony will be
in the Bovee University Center's
Wolverine and Gold Room at
5:45 p.m.
"I'm really looking forward to
it," Jakubauskas said. "They
seem like really nice organizations that add to the quality of
our campus — and academic
excellence."
Jakubauskas said he has
memberships in several organizations, but these are the first
groups he has joined while at
CMU.
Wyman said his organization
had a few reasons for asking
Jakubauskas to join.
"We thought it would be nice
to have somebody as an honorary
member like the president," he
said. "And it would be just an
honor to us to have him as an
honorary member of our
chapter."
Wyman said Jakubauskas is
the first president of CMU who
has joined his group. The group
has no other honorary members,
he said.
Wyman said Jakubauskas
may serve an advisory role for
the organization.
"Hopefully we can go to him
for help or suggestions
sometimes, or ideas," he said.

School to move into addition by mid-summer
by BRYAN G. LAVIOLETTE
UFE News Fdto.'
With mauve walls and homey woodworking throughout, the
Applied Business Studies Complex is nearly ready for the business-
people who will use its space.
G.M. Church, administrative assistant to the dean of the School of
Business Administration, said he expects the school to begin moving
into the $2.1 million addition to Grawn Hall by June.
But Church said students should not expect to have any classes in it.
He said the only area which students will use regularly is the
computer center, which will take the place of the other computer
centers in the building.
"Generally speaking, this building is not for student use," Church
said.
He said the plan for the building has not been to expand on what the
school is currently doing, but to move in other directions.
"It's not a place to continue doing things we're doing now," Church
said.
The computer lab will be open late hours, Church said. It has a main
entrance on the southwest side, with a foyer area leading to the
computer center. The rest of the complex will be locked at night, he
said.
Space will be provided for visiting executives who may be spending
extended periods of time at Central, Church said. This may include
people such as retired company executives speaking to classes.
The Robert M. Perry School of Banking will move into space in the
building. The school has a training program each summer for bankers
from across the state.
The Office and Management Information Systems area will
research the latest developments in business computers and
applications.
"There will be a lab for the latest developments in business
computer applications," Church said.
Upstairs in the two-story addition, the Materials Resource Center
will have books, magazines, journals and other resources which might
not be found in Park Library, he said.
Kathy Sanders, director of Corporate and Foundation Relations for
the Development Office, said the University is thanking the major
donors of funds by naming parts of the building for the companies.
About one-fourth of the building will be named after the Dow
Chemical Company, which donated $250,000. Its part of the complex
will be named The Dow Chemical Company Center for Creative
Business Studies.
• Others which will have sections of the building named for them
mclude: the Whirlpool Behaviorial Studies Laboratory, K mart Retail
Center, Kysor Dispute Resolution Center and the Kesseler Finance
and Accounting Resource Center.
