Tom Jackson, vice presi dent for public affairs, said it’s not unusual for the University’s faculty and administrators to look for employment at other uni versities. “When you have good people, they’re in demand all across the country,” Jackson said. When seeking employ ment elsewhere, University employees are not required to notify the University that they’re considering another job. Jackson said though the University loses valuable employees, it looks good for the institu tion when faculty and staff are being approached by other schools. “Of course, we’d hate to lose anybody, but the fact that other institutions are interested in our employ ees is a compliment to the University,” he said.

University President Michael Adams addressed the recent smok ing referendum at an Open Mic with Mike Q&A session Wednesday night. Gregory Locke, SGA senator of the Franklin College of the Arts and Sciences, said he has received a lot of criticism over the last week about enacting a smoking ban. Locke wanted Adams to publicly state his opinion on implementing a ban.

Before the end of school, I think we ought to make a decision.” So how much effect does the stu dent referendum have on his Anal decision? "I want to take the student refer endum into consideration, but It's not the only thing I want to take into consideration," he said. Juan Hernandez, a freshman his tory major, asked Adams about the proposal to expand the engineering program at the University. The Board of Regents tabled the pro posal until its November meeting. However, Adams has not lost hope. “I know it’s hard for you guys to believe, but there are some people who just don’t want to go to Tech," Adams said. “I think for us to fill in that part of the curriculum and enhance our research opportunities is the right thing to do.” Adams said “there are clear cost issues involved,” and when asked how the engineering program would See ADAMS, Page 2 we had probably 3,000 in there were completely destroyed," Fluitt said.
