News Editor This week, the Educational Policies Committee (E.P.C.) recommended that the departments of Chemistry and Psychology and a third department yet to be decided between Studio Art, Modern Language and Anthropology, receive additional staff positions, according to Chair of the E.P.C. and Professor of Physics Seamus Lagan. Regarding the three available positions, Richard Millman, Provost and Dean of Faculty, commented that one of the positions was made possible due to a reallocation from Geology. The second position was approved by President James Ash after consultation with the Budget and Priorities Committee while the third was held over from E.P.C.'s budget last year. "All these positions are for Assistant Professor spots," Mill- man said. These offices will be filled by "people who have just finished their Ph.D. or their equivalent terminal degree." The departmental role is crucial to the hiring process, according to Millman. Each department will construct a search committee in which members of the department, an outside faculty member, and student input will be used to review candidates. Candidates will be asked to make a presentation which will be open to the whole campus community. We "usually arrange a time for stadents to meet with the [applicant] without faculty present," Chair of the.Chemistry department, Robert Shambach, said. The department and the Faculty Personnel Committee will then make their final recommendations to the Dean of Faculty for his approval. The Chemistry department will be hiring an analytical chemist "preferably with a subspecialty in Organic [Chemistry] or Biochemistry," Shambach said. The Psvcholoev deoartment did not specify a particular academic area with their initial request. "We have one position left to give to a department," Lagan said. New Pay Phone Placed in Front of Mailroom CAMPUS ► The recent addition of a pay phone to the Guilford Hall parking lot makes a total of fifteen pay phones available on campus. by PARUL PATEL QC Asst. News Editor On Saturday, Nov. 16, a GTE payphone was installed at the entrance to the Mailroom. This pay phone replaces one of the two payphones the campus lost during the construction of The Spot. In addition, patrons using the pay phone will have the added security of an overhead night light and camera surveillance by Campus Safety. When The Spot was under construction this summer, the two payphones located in front ofthe CI were removed, Troy Greenup, Director of Computing and Telecommunications Services said. To replace those two payphones, "we put one under the library and we put the second one over in the mailroom," Greenup said. There are now two payphones under the Wardman library, both of which have been upgraded. Before the pay phone could be installed on campus, there were several matters of consideration according to Greenup. The first consideration was that its placement had to be "A.D.A. accessible," Greenup said. According to the American Disabilities Act, the pay phone should be accessible to handicapped individuals. To comply with the law, the curb was cut away, allowing easier access for wheelchairs. Greenup said that they would have liked to install the pay phone on the porch, but a ramp would have had to be built. The ramp building regulations were more cumbersome than cutting part ofthe curb away, therefore the porch was not chosen as a location. "We looked outside of Redwood," said Greenup however, a pay phone ringing would be distracting to faculty spaces and classrooms located in the vicinity. The Faculty Center was the other loca- tion considered but decided against for similar reasons. The replacement pay phone in front of the Mailroom required more time Please see PHONE, pg. 5 Departments Requesting New Postions for 1997-1998 Department Specialty Authorized?
