By Mikel Schwab Following the recommendation of College President J. Renwick Jackson the Board of Trustees voted unanimously not to renew the contract of Natural Science Division Chairman Dr. Christopher Wilson. The decision may be the final round in a longstanding battle between the President and Chairman. The battle first surfaced in 1973 when Dr. Wilson joined other Division Chairmen in endorsement of a faculty vote of no-confidence in President Jackson’s capabilities. Wilson is the last of those Division Chairman to lose his position. “ This decision will cause severe reprecussions on campus,” said faculty President Michael Glaser addressing the Board of Trustees. Student Government President Will. Foreman also spoke to the Board of Trustees, “ As a student and SGA President I’m seriously offended by the way this was handled I personally have not had adequate time to survey the students on this.” Foreman went on to point out that President Jackson announced his decision to oppose Wilson’s contract renewal the day before the end of last semester which was three days prior to Christmas. The Board of Trustees announced their decision on the matter on February 7. “ Students had to be on campus today,” Foreman told the Trustees, “ I had to make prior arrangements to come here.” “ It’s an injustice to the College for a decision on this to take place when the College is hardly in operation,” Foreman said, “ It’s almost as though the students have been ignored.” Board Chairman T. Hammond Welsch defended the Board’s decision. “We gave Dr. Wilson the fairest hearing we could possibly give him,” he said. Welsch also pointed out that the Board heard more than 10 hours of testimony on Wilson’s behalf. “ Every procedural protection that was affordable has been afforded to Dr. Wilson,” he said.

Last year, SGA officials thought the printing presses would be able to run the Empath, thus saving thousands of dollars annually on printing bills.

During SGA budget hearings last May, the SGA and Empath agreed to withhold $1400 from the Empath budget to partially finance (with the help of the administration) the purchase of an IBM Selectric Composer, which fits typewritten copy into s ta n d a r d iz e d n ew sp a p e r columns. With the IBM machine, SGA officials reasoned, the campus would have a fully-operational printing workshop on campus. The administration, however, declined to accept the SGA funds and the composer was never purchased. Since then, the $1400 has been returned to the SGA operational budget. SGA President Foreman stated the money is still in SGA hands and suggested that the Empath re-submit a request for the funds.
