Although the athletic department cannot take disiplinary action
against students who fail to comply, freshman and sophomore athletes
have been told HES 512, 'Drugs and Athletes," is a required class.
"We want them to take the class because of the importance it has to
the total program,* Athetic Director Dave Keilits said.
Due to scheduling conflict*, a few freshman and sophomore athletes
will not have to take the course. Keilitz said.
"We have some exceptions because of difficulties, but if they are able
to work it into their schedules we want them to take it," he said.
Keilitz added students who insist on not taking the course face no
disciplinary action.
This  semester offered ten course sections designed to provide
information about the use of drugs and the athlete's performance.

Board Chairman Raymond LaBounty said ha had no comment but
would not explain reasons for the silence.
Miller would not confirm the meetings and would not say when or if
public interviews will be scheduled.
Talking generally, at the beginning of the search when we invited
candidates and nominees to make application, each candidate was
given an opportunity to tell us whether he or she wanted
confidentiality," Miller said.
According to the Open Meetings Act, "all interviews by a public body
for employment or appointment to a public office shall be held in an
open meeting * However, in a lawsuit involving a presidential
search at Oakland University, an Oakland County Circuit Court judge
determined that while interviews must be done m public, a quorum
must be present. Also, "It is permissible under the Act for one or more
committees to meet in dosed session for the purpose of interviewing
presidential candidates so long as the committees' combined
membership does not constitute a quorum."
Miller refused to cite the laws under which trustees might meet
with candidates.
Trustee Mitch Kehetian said Thursday afternoon he waa not aware
of any scheduled meetings, although he knew something might be
arranged.
Kehetian said candidates' names did not have to be released until
trustees select the finalists" and schedule public interviews. Kehetian
said the five remaining candidates are not necessarily "finalista."
Dean to retire after 40
by SHERRY YAEK
LIFE Editor
After 40 years at Central — two
as a student and 38 on the payroll
— William Theunlssen is leaving.
Theunissen, dean of the School
of Education, Health and Human
Services, announced his June 1
retirement to depsrtment
chairmen Wednesday.
"In simple language I have, for
an awful long time, had a lot of
long-standing desires, projects
sitting on the shelf that I want to
get at while I'm still in good
health," Theunissen said.
Theunissen, 60, started as a
professor of physical education
and served as an assistant coach
of basketball and football and as
varsity baseball coach before
becoming dean in 1962. He
graduated from Central with
degrees in business, health and
physical education.
He said his retirement has
nothing to do with the resignation
Cultural
center
unlikely
by CHERYL JACKSON
LIFE Copy Editor
A multi-cultural center for
CMU's campus is far from a
reality, James Hill, vice president
for Student Affcirs, said.
Although the proposal for the
center was submitted to his office
last February by the Minority
Advisory Council, the center is
still in the "discussion stages,"
Hill said.
Hill said one problem halting
progress is that the proposal was
incomplete.
"It provided for only a few
cultures — blacks, American
Indians and Chicanes," Hilt said.
"I look upon a cultural center as
being much more vast than that."
Hill said cultural centers should
house artifacts snd activities
which enlighten students about
different heritages.
"I think on any college campus,
there is a need for information and
informing people on campus about
other cultures," he said.
Hill said he has expressed his
dissatisfaction with the proposal
to Laura Gonzales and Billy
Dexter, director and assistant
director of the Office of Minority
Affairs, respectively.

July 5 of former president Harold
Abel.
Theunissen said he plans to
travel, already having plans to go
to the 1988 summer Olympics in
Korea, and work on "history-
related* projecta.
Without administrative
constraints, Theunissen said he
would like to teach physical
education or recreation again
either at Central or a nearby
institution.
Theunissen's reign at Central
waa marked by many accomplishments, including successful efforts
to get Central into the
Mid-American Conference,
combine the departments of
health, physical education and
recreation into the School of
Education, Health and Human
Services and develop the women's
athletic program.
He also served as chairman for
construction of Rose Arena and
worked with the renovation of the
baseball stadium and outdoor
track.
'It was interesting to see the
entire growth of the University
from a University that was all
north of Preston to where it is
now; a school that waa primarily
teacher education ... to everything that it is now," he said.
Theunissen worked under five
presidents, including Charles
Anspach, Judson Foust, William
Boyd, Harold Abel and now
Interim President Arthur Ellis.
He said all the presidents were
"right for their time."
Although he enjoys working
with the faculty and staff,
Theunissen said students are the
best.
Trie students that we basically
get at Central — I don't even know
how to describe it. They're super."
Theunissen said, adding not all
universities have the friendly
campus found st Central.
Theunissen said a little of his

coaching spirit still remains and
he always will be a part of the
University.
The maroon and gold that's in
my blood will still be running. I've

Time renders campus changes

When Charles Anspach was
CMU's president, he told
Mount Pleasant residents the
University would never expand
south of Preston.
"He told me he believed it at
the time," Interim President
Arthur Ellis said.
CMU is a very different
University than during
Anspach's time, and it soon will
undergo another facelift — the
addition of two major academic
buildings.
The proposed science and
industrial engineering
technology facilities have
become realities with the
approval of a $40 million state
allocation for capital improvements.
Both projects have been
planned for a long time.
University Architect Tony
Paparella said.
The IET building has been
around about 10 years and even
before that it was discussed
among faculty in the
department... it could come
close to science — both have
been around a while," he said.
The IET building, science
building and a proposed recreation building are CMU's big
three projects, Paparella said.
Of the three, the recreation
building is the furthest behind
since it only came into focus
about a year ago.

Relationships with the opposite sex are a major
part of college and often many find themselves
forced to make a decision about birth control.
Many people enter into sexual relationships
during their college years. Dr. Richard Hardy,
health education and science professor, said. Consequently, University Health Services prescribe birth
control for many students, he said. 	
UHS Medical Director Dr. Howard Varney said   wmmmmmm*
360 students received prescriptions for some sort of birth control
method in February 1964. Although UHS had no updated statistics,
Varney said this number is still accurate.

"From one year to the next we do not see a great deal of change. It's a
fair amount of people, but it is not always consistently that high."
Varney said.
        John Petras, professor of sociology, anthropology
and social work, was not surprised many students
seek birth control from UHS.
"When students go away to school they start
developing serious relationships,' he said.
Petras added students probably do not get
prescriptions from UHS just to hide it from their
parents.
'It's not their primary reason. If a person wanted
to get birth control information, they could
anywhere without mom and dad knowing. More
likely, it is because they've become independent
enough to make that decision," Petras said.
Hardy agreed motives vary.
"We're not advertising come over here, and get them here and no one
will know ... their motives vary, but anonymity is something they're
