SAE trying to regain recognition
By FRANCINE WILSON
M Bl»rk SUIT Writer
Sigma Alpha Epsilon, the University's
oldest fraternity, may regain University
recognition as early as winter quarter
almost a year earlier than the projected fall
1964 date originally predicted by the
fraternity s national office
Ed Allen, chapter adviser, said the
University was willing to allow the
fraternity back on a probationary basis if
certain conditions were satisfied, but the
SAE national office wouldn't allow this until
the fraternity met "stringent guidelines '
set by nationals
We would have made an application, but
national requirements were strict,' Allen
said
The University dropped official
recognition of SAE in June 1962 following a
review of the fraternity's conduct The
University conducted a hearing after
receiving reports of misconduct during the
fraternity's parade prior to its Magnolia
W eekend May 2.1982
Following the University's action to drop
recognition of SAE. the fraternity's national
office suspended the fraternity's charter
until at least fall 1964
The sanctions mean SAE can have no
assistance from the University — no use of
University facilities, no participation in
intramurals or block seating, according to
Bill Bracewell, director of judicial
programs
Bracwell said he and Bob Nettles, director
of Student Activities, met with a represen
tative from SAE nations last spring
Bracewell said he and Nettles could conduct
a review of the fraternity's progress, but the
national office wanted to wait
Two events occurred during the summer
that strengthened SAE's situation with its
nationals, said Allen
Eight representatives from the chapter
attended a leadership school held at the
national office in Evanston. Ill In addition,
two chapter representatives reported the
chapter s situation at the national con
vention Allen said that the nationals were
satisfied with the report
Allen said the University has been very
helpful with the SAE's
"They have been extremely helpful in
iving us guidelines, and in working with the
AEs to regain status." Allen said "We re
trying to go over and above board with the
University, and intend to continue to
cooperate "
Steps needed to regain recognition from
the University include improved pledge
education, social service, finances and
leadership, according to Bracewell
Among the steps the fraternity has taken
towards regaining this recognition. Allen
said, are
• house renovations
• actively rushing within the IFC
guidelines
• a process of attempting to start a part-
time housemother position
• improving relations with alumni and
nationals
Allen said he felt a housemother was
needed on a five-day a-week. 11 a m to 5:30
p m basis because of the expense involved
in house renovations The housemother
would probably move in the house by fall
1964. Allen said
Overall. Allen said he was very optimistic
about the fraternity's chances to regain
recognition
SAE is in great shape " Allen said
"Ultimately, I intend for the fraternity to
become strong enough again in leadership
that it will be able to operate without
assistance from the alumni "
Paul Pendergrass IFC vice president for
public relations, said he felt both SAE and
other fraternities benefited from the
situation
"It forced us to re-evaluate some of the
things our member fraternities do." he said
“It also forced SAE to take a closer look at
things I don't think they were made an
example of. but I think people took it as an
example "
Pendergrass said IFC officers had talked
to representatives from SAE nationals this
fall, as well as several other times in the
past
Bracewell said it was up to the fraternity
to determine when its status would be up for
review
There are three groups involved — the
undergraduates, the alumni and the
nationals," he said These groups must
w ork together The burden is on them "
University may recognize SAE on probationary
basis
University and Athens Tech will offer joint
Office Information Systems degrees this fall
Dismissed profs reinstated
Scott and Lundelius
given two years to meet
criteria for promotion

This fall the University
will join forces with Athens
Area Vocational-Technical
School to offer a combined
associate degree program
The University will offer
two degrees an Associate
of Arts and Associate of Ap
plied Science degree — each
with a concentration in Of
lice Information Systems, an
area of study which focuses
on legal secretarial, ad
mimstrative secretarial and
data processing
Mary Me Bee chairperson
of the committee to plan for
associate degree programs,
said the program was
designed to "allow students
to combine work from the
tech school with work from
the University."
Ken Eason, associate
director of instruction at
Athens Tech, said the pro
gram "provides good career
opportunties to students that
have not been previously
available."
For both degrees. 45 hours
must be taken from Athens
Tech These courses will
consist of classes in either
data processing and pr»
gramming, legal secretarial
or secretarial
In addition. 60 hours for
the Associate of Arts and 45
hours for the Associate of
Applied Sciences degree
must be taken at the Univer
sity to satisfy the regents'
core requirements
However, core re
quirements may not be
transferred to the University
for inclusion in the associate
degree programs
If the student later wishes
to obtain a baccalaureate
degree, the core courses ob
tained at the University will
count toward this goal
In this respect, the
associate degree programs
serve as education founda
(ions which apply toward a
degree in business educa
tion
The program would help
area students gain voca
tional experience as well as
a mastery of a wide liberal
arts curriculum, while
preparing them for fields in
which jobs are most a bun
dant
According to the Georgia
Department of Labor,
clerical, secretarial and
data processing work,
especially in legal and
medical areas, offer the
greatest work opportunities
in the 1980s
However, McBee said
"the tech school does not ol
fer an associate degree in
the area of office informa
tion systems ”
Until now. clerical,
secretarial, and data pro
cessing workers in the
Athens area had no educa
tional opportunity to earn
college credit in connection
with skills needed for the
employment available to
them
The program was
developed as a result of
surveys by the Georgia
Center for Continuing
Education and by Athens
Tech, which established a
need for a two-year-degree
program
Officials at Athens Tech
have projected that at least
50 of their present students
will enter the program this
year
Two University pro
fessors fired last June have
returned to work this fall
after being reinstated by
the Board of Regents
Wilder Scott and
Marguerite Lundelius.
associate professors in the
Romance Languages
department, were notified
in June 1962 that their con
tracts would not be renew
ed at the end of the 1982-63
academic year After ap
peals to the University of
ficials were rejected, the
cases were appealed to the
regents in June of this
year The regents voted
unanimously to reinstate
the teachers Aug 10
The regents' decision
was unusual, according to
Andrew Marshall, attorney
for both Scott and
Lundelius
"In dealing with person
nel matters." he said,
"there’s pressure on the
regents to simply rubber
stamp decisions made by
the University. I'm glad
the regents were conscien
tious enough lo look at the
facts "
Administrative changes
made during the 1970s af
fecting tenure were a
primary cause for the
cases Scott said In 1975,
the administration adopted
the policy whereby faculty
members would have
seven years to meet the
criteria for tenure Those
faculty members hired
prior to 1975 were to be
notified whether they
would be given tenure or
dismissed
According to Scolt.
University officials never
gave them a reason for
their dismissals
Jean Piriou, head of the
Romance Language
department, and Louise
McBee. associate vice
president for academic af
fairs. wouldn't comment on
the case
After having his contract
renewed each year for
seven years. Scott said he
was "surprised" when told
he was being dismissed
"Dr Lundelius and I just
got lost in the shuffle."
Scott said "I think our
cases say something about
the bureaucracy w ithin the
system Dr Lundelius and
I have been on the longest
probationary periods in
historv " Scott has taught
at the University for 16
years
In addition to reinstating
them, the regents' decision
gives Scott and Lundelius
two years to meet the
criteria for promotion or
tenure
The American Associa
tion of University Pro
fessors supported the
teachers because it saw
their situation as a test
case. Scott said
' There are a lot of other
faculty members in the
University System's 32
schools in the same situa
tion.” he said
"The regents' decision
gives faculty the hope that
at some level you can have
a hearing." Scott said
Improved OpSTAR handles drop/add crowd
The new upgraded OpSTAR
computer ran smoothly with no
breakdowns during the first day of
drop/add. Registrar Bruce Shutt
said Thursday
The new computer equipment
installed in July is "a vast im
provement" over the previous
system. Shutt said
"The new equipment is the best
now that it will ever be." he said "I
couldn't be more pleased with it."
It was first used last summer (or
Ireshman registration The current
drop/add period is the first time the
upgraded computer has been used to
service the entire student body
The Thursday morning crowd was
unusually large for the first day of
drop/add. Shutt said
“The first morning is usually light
and the last afternoon pure hell."
Shutt said "However, the wait has
only been about H to 10 minutes for
most people ' ’
Optical scan readers used in
processing schedules did break
down Thursday morning. Shutt said,
but then were repaired without a
serious delay
"We re got the computer running
smoothly." he said "Now we have
to keep the rest of our equipment in
good running order "
To help the process run more
smoothly, the number of students
allowed in the scheduling area has
been regulated, he added
"If we get a large crowd of people
in there, there's too much noise and
people can't hear their names when
they're called out.” Shutt said "It
helps cut down on the confusion."
