Forensic future requires fund
by Tracee Hildebrand
Staff Writer
The dawning of UTSA's second year without a debate team coupl¬ ed with an unexpected cut in fun¬ ding prompts the question of whether or not a new forensics program will see daylight.
Forensics had been in operation for six years when the program came to a standstill after the director. Skip Eno, resigned in the summer of 1988. In 1986-87, the debate team finished eleventh in the nation, and they received the best ranking of any team in Texas in 1987-88.
Since Eno's resignation, Dr. Alan E. Craven, director of the division of Engliah, classics and philosophy, has cited an absence of'a regular source of funding for ithe forensics coach" as the main problem obstructing the pro¬ gram.
Ijite lusl lall, the possibility of routing  additional   student  ser¬
vices fees to forensics was discussed at a meeting with Speech Union and Student Representative Assembly of¬ ficers, and Dr. Craven. Action could not be taken, however, until the Student Services Fee Ad¬ visory Committee was called by Dr. James W. Wagener, who was UTSA president at the time.
The student services fee com¬ mittee was called over the sum¬ mer, and the monies allocated for forensics this year have been cut to $10,000. Last year, this fun¬ ding had been increased from $10,000 to $15,000.
'"There was not a great deal of discussion among the committee on that item." according to Bettie Karter. administrative assistant to the dean of the college of behavioral and social sciences, who chaired the committee. Karter said the student members initially   proposed    $15,750   for

Regents name UTSA president
By Melissa Muse
News Editor
Dr. Samuel A. Kirkpatrick, dean of the college of liberal arts and sciences at Arizona State University, was appointed to UT¬ SA's presidency by the UT Board of Regents on Friday. Sept. 15.
UTSA is "just reaching the legal driving age by some ac¬ counts," stated Kirkpatrick. "We should expect UTSA to get in the driver seat and to be a bigger leadership partner in San An¬ tonio'.
"1 believe there are no cities in this country which are so pro¬ gressive and so developed and rapidly developing as San An¬ tonio, with such a developmental gap between a city and it's university," continued
Kirkpatrick. "Bringing UTSA to full institutional maturity by the tum of the century" is a goal, ac¬ cording to Kirkpatrick, that is "challenging" and "realistic."
Commenting on "specific" changes to take place during his presidency, Kirkpatrick said, "On the student side, you will see the university become more residen¬ tial. You would see the university probably having a higher portion of full time students. You would see an expansion of student life and student programming ac¬ tivities — so that it begins to resemble a mature university."
Kirkpatrick's appointment will be effective "sometime in Jfmuary," said Dr. James P. Dun¬ can, the UT System's executive vice chancellor for academic af¬ fairs. However, until then Kirkpatrick will travel back and forth between Phoenix, where the resides, and San Antonio, where he will begin his transition into UTSA's presidency; Duncan add¬ ed.
M.  Dan Williams, vice presi-
. dent for business affairs, has been named acting president for the in¬ terim period until Kirkpatrick assumes the presidency in January. Now that Williams is ac¬ ting president "the buck stops at his desk as far as day to day cam¬ pus things go," said Duncan.
"He will communicate and work with Dr. Kirkpatrick on broader issues that really deserve his input. But on the day to day operational things, he, working with the other vice presidents, will carry out that responsibiUty," explained Dun¬ can.
When asked why Kirkpatrick was chosen, Hans Mark, UT System chancellor, responded, "Well, we had 162 apply for the job, or be nominated, but he was the best." Mtirk said he knew Kirkpatrick was the man for the position "about two weeks ago," but ihe announcement was delayed so that other candidates could be notified that they would not be the new president.
Kirkpatrick headed the depart¬ ment of political science at Texas A&M from 1977 to 1984. He directed the Bureau of Govern¬ ment Research at The University of Oklahoma from 1969 to 197'7. Kirkpatrick earned his master's and Ph.D. degrees in political science at Pennsylvania State University, and his bachelor's degree in education at Ship- pensburg University.
Kirkpatrick is married to Pamela Ann Kirkpatrick, an in¬ terior designer. Shaun Alexander, who attends The University of Arizona, and high school senior Neal William, are the Kirkpatrick's sons. Kirkpatrick will maintain a residence in San Antonio beginning spring 90, but the rest of his family will follow in the summer, after the youngest son has graduated.

Student input brings change to free speech policies
by S. L. Hampson Editor
The UTSA administration has amended its free speech policy based on recommendations made by the SRA during the spring semester.
The amendments include an ad¬ ditional location for three speech, the northeast corner of the Humanities Building, and shor- ther time period required for reserving the space. The new ar¬ rangements became effective September 1, 1989.
"For both areas, they are able to be scheduled, really almost at a moment's notice," commented Jane FindUng, director of student services.
"All they have to do is come up to the Student Activities Office and fill out a much shortened form." Findling adds that if the area is not already scheduled by another group, the student can "go right out" and use the free speech area.
The additional location and new time requirements are being look at on a trial basis for one year, before the pohcy changes are for- maUzed, according to FindUng and Dean of Students Dora Hauser.
The only restrictions on use of the free speech areas are that users must be UTSA students, faculty or staff, and that loudspeaker systems are forbid-

den at the HB location.
Loudspeaker systems, or amplification, are allowed at the University Center (UC) location (the southwest outdoor patio). With sufficient notice, the Office of Student Services can provide a loudspeaker system for students using the UC location.
Findling comments "About free speech: it's not a judgement
call about what's going to be talk¬ ed about. Free speech is free speech." However, she does look at the potential for harm to students, faculty, or staff, and if necessary, would arrange for security.
The changes to the policy came about because several students felt that the free speech policy in existence waa too restrictive.
The policy required a 48-hour advance notice and the area was restricted to the patio at the UC. Students felt tha Ihe patio area was outside the main traffic pat¬ terns of sludents and was loo isolated.
The SRA resolution lo change the free speech policy, passed Jan. 20, called for the reservation requirement lo be eUminated and an additional free speech area to be located in the main plaza of campus.
The resolution was forwarded to the Dean of Sludents who for¬ warded the resolution lo ex¬ ecutive officers. Findling said that her office received notice this
0 summer   that   the   changes   had 5 been approved, "based on recom-
1 mendations made by the SRA. '
I For now. administrators will be J following the use of the free I speech areas, particularly in the ' new HB location, to see that disruptions do not occur to traffic flow and nearby classes.
If patterns of the eighties re¬ main the same in the nineties, however, the free speech areas won't see much activity.
According to Dean Hauser, she and Findling recall very few times in which the free speech area has been reserved,' "except for last year when all this came up." They also checked with other univer¬ sities to compare free speech policies and found out, "They (other universities) couldn't even remember the last time anybody used their free speech area."
