the next presidential searrh committee from the way it

needs assessment.
Trustee Rachael Moreno said other board members
here agreed not to have four board members on the
search committee if the board could still do a
pre-screenlng of candidates before the search
committee interviews them.
.Trustee Margaret Riecker said those positions could
go lo other personnel, but that the Academic Senate
could change its representation too.
The board could exercise the option of having APs

positions,* she said,

faculty members are allowed now, four from Arts and
Sciences and two from each of the other schools. But
she said she saw no problem with changing the
representation.
"Wa-could formally request to have the policy
changed, or maybe Just ask the (Academic) Senate,"
she said.
George Blackburn, history professor, said he felt
some changes could be made, too.
Td like to see a dean, or an AP," he said.
Academic Senate President Pam Weaver told
committee members that just saying something to the
Senate does not mean it will occur.
The way we vote now, we knock out so many on the
first round that they're not available anymore," she
said "We would have to get the executive board to
agree to commit to change how the voting is done on
the Senate floor."
Blackburn said if the three faculty members here
presumed to say the Senate would change, there might
be some negative reactions, but they could recommend
those changes be made.
Henricks questioned whether the board would be
able to do an initial pre screening due to problems in
traveling long distances and schedules.
Both Moreno and Riecker said at least (bur board
members would be able to review all the candidates
and report back to the rest of the board.
*I did last time," Moreno said, "I read all of them, and
so did Ranny (Riecker), I think.*
Blackburn said time might be a problem, because it
was a problem even getting the full board membership
to meetings.
"It takes lots of time to read these documents." he
said.
Riecker said.1 read most of them, and 111 bet there
would be three, probably four members of the board,

RHA gets national conference
by MARK ALLEN
LIFE Ass't News Editor
A trip to San Francisco was worth it for
CMlTs Residence Hall Assembly, as the group
successfury bid to host a national leadership
conference next year.
About 1,500 people from 200 colleges will
descend on campus next summer to exchange
ideas and attend workshops about leadership
d*U¥m*g the annual conference of the National
Association of College and University
Residence Halls.
"Now we take the 102-page, written bid and
turn it into a conference. It's kind of like
making a dream a reality," said John Maher,
one of three conference committee chairpeople.
Twenty-six members of Central's RHA
attended this year*s conference in. San
Fransisco. After the long trip there, committee
chairs practiced a 45-minute bid presentation
until 3 a.m., Mount Pleasant time.
Chairpeople from the 10 bid committees
presented their bids the following morning to a
41-person committee which chose the conference location. The committee consists of
national directors and representatives from
NACURHTs seven regions.
"The presentation went very well," Maher,
Grand Ledge senior, said. "When they (the
NACURH national adviser and the conference

our presentation and said we represented our

The announcement of the bid winner waa

Saturday night
"Everybody   went   craxy."   Maher   said.
"Beforehand, a lot of people didn't think we got
it.   It   was   really   exciting   when   we   did.

Students who leave CMU
in the fall will often leave
their stray pets behind
by ANN MCFARLAND
LIFE Staff Writer
When some students packed
up to go home this summer
they left their homeless pets
behind
Janet Tuma of Mount
Pleasant said her t>on found two
stray dogs locked up in an
abondoned building on Mission
the week after graduation.
"They were shut in without
food or water. One was so weak
it couldn't get up," she said.
Tuma said she can not be
sure it was a college student
who abandoned the dogs, but
she said it happened near the
Uni%'ersity at the time .students
were leaving.
"There are a lot of assumptions involved, but when it
happens year after year, people
get the feeling it is college
kids," she said.
Tuma, who took in one ofthe
dogs, said she does not blame
students for wanting an
animal, but she wishes the
students had enough courage to
take the animals to the animal
shelter instead of letting them
starve to death.
"If they would only think
twice about the long-range
effects abandonment has on the
animal, maybe some of the
animals would be helped," she
said.
Dr. Charles Stirling, Mount
Pleasant    veterinarian,   said
there    is    a    problem    with
students   leaving   pets   here •
when they go home.
"We do get a few more stray
dogs, and customers have
complained about students
leaving their pets here in the
summer," Stirling said,
although he did not give any
statistics.
"I can't really blame it on
students. Spring is when
animals give birth, and a lot of
people think it is nicer to let the
animal go free in the country
than put it in the shelter," he
said.
However, Stirling said some
students simply abandon their
pets.
