A forum to answer questions about the University's telephone system will be held at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 22, in 210 Mathematical Sciences Building.

The forum, which is open to faculty, staff and students, will include a panel of University emloyees familiar with the system, which went into use in August 1985. Donald Boren, legal studies and chair of Faculty Senate, will be the forum moderator.

The purpose of the forum is to exchange information within the University community of mutual concern about the operation and financial status of the new telephone system and its

organization. Some questions have already

been posed and will be answered, but there will be an opportunity for questions from the audience, said James Corbitt, associate vice president for operations.

"The forum is intended to answer people's questions and concerns about the phone system," said Corbitt, adding that the forum should also dispell rumors about the system.

The forum follows an appearance by Karl E. Vogt, vice president for operations, earlier this month before the Faculty Senate where he addressed the same issue.

Chemist William Walsh to present lecture

A nationally known chemist who has linked chemical imbalances in the body and violent behavior will lecture at the University on Tuesday, April 22.

William J. Walsh, director of the Health Research Institute of Chicago, will present a lecture entitled "Biochemical Basis for Aberrant Behavior" at 3:30 p.m. in the Assembly Room, McFall Center.

Dr. Walsh founded the Health Research Institute in 1980 to study the relationship between biochemistry and behavior. He has classified four types of crime-prone persons based on the relative amounts of certain metals such as cadmium, magnesium, copper and zinc that collect in hair.

Dr. Walsh's research has led to a procedure for the chemical screening of blood, hair and urine for factors which he believes are related to psychological abnormalities and anti· social behavior. More than 100 individuals, including violent children and ex-convicts are now following treatment protocols recommended by Dr. Walsh and his co-workers with a· reported success rate of over BO percent.

Dr. Walsh's research is controversial among many criminologists who say that science · cannot identify potential lawbreakers and who point out the dangers of attempting to classify individuals on the basis of limited research.

Dr. Walsh's lecture at the University will discuss evidence for the relationship between body biochemistry and behavior, and will describe results of analyses performed by the Institute on several violent criminals.

His presentation Is st>onsored by the Bowling Green chapter of Sigma XI, the National Research Society, and is free and open to the public.

Kiser selected as Ohio's top social worker

Judy Kiser, social work, has been honored as one of two social workers of the year by the Ohio chapter of the National Association of Social Workers.

She also was selected social worker of the year by the Northwestern Ohio Program Unit of the same association.

Selected from among 4,000 candidates for the state award, Kiser was cited for her extensive contributions to the development of the profession and outstanding community service. Specifically mentioned were her efforts to develop a state-wide continuing education program concerning the new Ohio licensing law and to conduct a study for the Greater Toledo Area Red Cross which resulted in continuation of services for veterans during a time of service cutbacks.

Kiser, who joined the University faculty In 1975, received her bachelor's degree from Bowling Green and her master's degree from the University of Michigan.

Members of the Classified Staff Council reviewed April 15 the results of a survey of part-time employees.

The survey, which included questions about benefits, received 82 responses from the 125 questionnaires distributed.

There were nine responses from a second survey of 12 state-supported universities in Ohio regarding parttime employees and benefits.

As a result of the two surveys, three proposals were recommended to council. Thay included:

• After 10,400 hours of service (five full years) all part-time employees should receive a pro-rated fee waiver for their dependents. The commmee reasoned that such a benefit would not only generate money for the University, but would also permit more dependents of employees to attend the University.

• Health Insurance benefits be paid for part-time employees, pro-rated according to the number of hours worked per pay period.

I Classified I . Staff Council .

• All part-time employees should receive the same benefits, including pro-rated vacation time. The committee recommended that there be no distinction between fiscal and calendar year employees.

The committee reasoned that since there is no distinction between ninemonth and twelve-month full-time employees there should be no distinction when dealing with part. time employees. The committee also noted that six of the nine universities responding to its questionnaire do not distinguish between academic and fiscal year employees.

In the employee survey, results indicated that:

• A majority (66-15) would be willing to buy health Insurance through the University if It was avallable at a .

group rate. • A smaller majority ~would

be willing to buy term life inSwance through the University if H was available at a group rate.

•A majority (68-1~ want health insurance paid by the University, prorated to the amount of hours worked per pay period.

• An even amount (42-40) were either aware or not aware that there are full·time employees that receive full benefits even though they work nine months.

• A majority (54-28) were not aware that there are part-time employees who work summers, even though their jobs are classifed as nine-month positions. •

• A majority (76-6) felt all part-time employees should receive pro-rated vacation benefits. ·

•A majority (70-7) felt that fee waivers should be extended to dependents of part-time employees who have been employed by the University for 10,400 hours.

Vol. IX, No. 41 Bowling Green State University April28, 1986

Faculty, staff boost 7 5th Anniversary Fund Faculty and staff have

demonstrated their loyalty to the University and to individual departments and projects during the Campus Campaign for the 75th Anniversary Fund.

TCKlate, $296,597 has been contributed or pledged by the University community to the Fund. That total Includes pledges and contributions received during a telefund conducted by the Office of Development earlier this month.

Nearly all faculty and staff have earmarked their contributions for a specific project or-projects, according to David Wu, development. He added that the majority of pledges were designated for scholarships or programs In employees' own departments or offices.

"Many special scholarships and other funds have been enhanced by the Campus Campaign effort," Wu said. "The telefund was well received and viewed by many employees as an opportunity to build a scholarship or project fund of special Interest to them."

75th birthday cake to be cut For the past 12 months, the

University has been celebrating its founding 75 years ago, but the year would not be complete without a birthday party.

That is exactly what is planned for noon Thursday, May 1, at the University Union Oval. Everyone is Invited.

The celebration will begin at 11:45 a.m. when the University Brass Quintet will perform. Then at noon, President Paul J. Olscamp and Bowling Green Mayor Bruce Bellard will make remarks to the crowd, which will include University and city dignitaries.

The Office of Development has provided an extra incentive for giving during the Campus campaign, offering to match contributions of $100 or more with unrestricted funds from the BGSU Foundation. The

Following their remarks, the two will cut the 75th anniversary cake, which will be shaped like University Hall, one of the first three buildings on campus. Five hundred balloons will be launched at the same time.

Members of the 75th Anniversary Committee planning the event are April Harris, development; Gregory DeCrane, student affairs; Shirley Sevigny, university relations; Galen Ash, Bowling Green police chief, and Sheilah Fulton, president of Dacor Inc. and first vice president of the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce.

availability of the matching funds was announced during the telefund and enables employees to double their contribution to the projects or funds of their choice, Wu said.

It is not too late to take advantage

of the challenge grant which will double employee contributions. The matching funds will be allocated for all pledges or gifts of $100 or more given by faculty and staff between March 15 and July 1.

Faculty and staff who are interested in making a pledge or contribution should contact the Office of Development (2-2701) for information.

Those who received pledge cards in the mail following the telefund are encouraged to return those cards as soon as possible. The cards must be returned before July 1 to receive the dollar-for-dollar match to their designated area or areas.

The Campus Campaign is just one phase of the 75th Anniversary Fund which seeks to raise $12.5 million In private gifts for the University during a three-year period. As of April 1, approximately $9.2 million had been pledged or contributed to the Fund, which was officially announced at the 75th Anniversar1 Convocation on Nov. 10, 1985.

Robert Romans selected as Master Teacher After Robert C. Romans graduated

from high school, he spent six years doing a variety of jobs including working on a cross-country pipeline project and operating a dairy farm in Wisconsin.

He then decided it was time to go to college. Now after 17 years of teaching at the University, Dr.· Romans has received the Master Teacher Award, the highest honor given a teaching faculty member.

Dr. Romans said it was natural that a Wisconsin farm kid would choose biology as the subject he would teach.

"With all the 4-H projects you do and just being on a farm, there's plenty of biology you learn about outside the classroom," he said.

For Dr. Romans coming to work is one of the pleasures of life. "After 17 years, I still look forward to coming to class," he said. "I love working with young people."

Dr. Romans, who bases his relationship with students on trust, called education "a cooperative venture. The teacher must trust that the student is putting forth the maximum effort; but if this is not the case, efforts must be made to motivate the student. The student must have faith that the teacher will be fair, will not demand the impossible and will make all efforts to assist in the learning process."

His formula is to be up front with the students. "The first day of class I inform the students what · c ")ect out

of them," he said. "I try to present the course in an organized fashion so they can take good.notes.

"I try to be human. At the end of the first day I tell an old joke. The students then feel you have a good sense of humor. Students tell me that they enjoy coming to class and that's a plus if you can get them there."

Dr. Romans said it's the students that allow him to enjoy his work. "A lot of my colleagues don't like to make it convenient to work with their students, but I thoroughly enjoy working with young people."

He calls biology the most important class a student can take, realizing, of course, that faculty in other departments may not agree. Dr. Romans' special interest is botany.

Master Teacher Robert Romans at work with students

"I don't like the smell of Formalin and I didn't like working with dead cats," he said of his decision to study botany. "I tell students plants don't have to trapped or chased and they don't bleed. Animal lovers don't care if you experiment with them.

"For the longest time my mother thought I picked plants for a living," said Dr. Romans, who traces his botany interest to his college adviser Clyde Bashier at the University of Wisconsin - Superior.

"He took me under his wing," Dr. Romans said. "I did well in his botany class. I worked under him for three years, he served as my master's adviser and he's the godfather of my son. He was one of most influential people in my life."

Dr. Romans gained his enthusiasm for working with students from Dr. Bashier. "He was very student orientated."

Now it seems that Dr. Romans has made his own mark on students. It isn't often, he said, that students aren't at his house or that former students aren't dropping by on their ·.vay through Ohio. Dr. Romans said he corresponds with about 50 former students spread around the country.

He also credits students for helping him be a better teacher. He said he pays attention to evaluation forms filled out by students at the end of the class, adapting his techniques and instruction to their needs.

"I have changed and I will continue to do so," he said.

"On one evaluation form a student wrote that she likes Bill Cosby and David Letterman and that I reminded her of both. There are those teachers who refrain from entertaining entirely. Students have to realize that the professor is a human also and enjoys laughing and being laughed at. I think its an effective tool."
