By FRANCIE ALLEN The Board of Trustees at Central Michigan University has appointed Arthur Ellis as the university president. The board, however, made that appointment without consulting the screening committee that had been set up to nominate candidates for the position. ALTHOUGH Ellis, who was acting president since July, was not one of the screening committee's five nominees, the board chose him because members were impressed with his performance as interim president. Ellis has been at CMU since 1970, when he became vice president for public affairs. Before that, he was director of budgets and government relations at Eastern Michigan University for two years. "Art appears to be getting along with both the board and the faculty, and I think that's a nice change," said Pamela Weaver, chairperson of the university's academic senate. She added that previous university president Harold Abel often did not get along well with other administrators. WHEN ABEL resigned from the presidency last July, he received $315,000 severence pay package. Controversy arose when students and state lawmakers disputed the package. The state legislature threatened to cut state fun- ding for the university as a result, but never carried out the threat. Weaver credits Ellis with improving the university's relations with the legislature. She said he recently ob- tained $40 million from the state to fund an industrial education technology building and a science building ad- dition. Maria Reiser, a student member of the screening com- mittee, said although the board ignored their nominations, the committee has not yet planned any ac- tion against the board. REISER said the committee submitted a list of five nominees to the board on Dec. 14. At that time, she said, board chairman Raymond La Bounty said the board would evaluate the nominees' qualifications. Reiser said that she and other committee members thought the board would contact them around the first of this month to discuss the candidates. The board, however, held a closed meeting on Jan. 30 and announced its decision to the committee Tuesday. The decision "was a surprise to us," Reiser said. ELLIS "has done a fine job for us in the past seven mon- ths," Reiser said. "However, I think the problem is that the Board of Trustees and the faculty have different opinions on what the criteria should be for a president." Reiser said she was worried that the manner in which Ellis was chosen would discourage future candidates, thus affecting the quality of the university. She said that future candidates may think the Board strongly favors can- didates from within the university. Russ Herron, an assistant to Ellis, said he doesn't think Ellis will be blamed for the controversy. "It's more of a problem between the screening committee and the Board of Trustees," he said. He added that Ellis would try to mend the rift between the board and the committee. Ellis could not be reached for comment. Students bring debate team back to life (Continued from Page 1) bough advanced to octafinals - but ran up against the first- and second- seeded teams and didn't get to quar- ter-finals. The University team was also in- vited to the University of Virginia round robin tournament, which Speta said was an honor because it is so ex- clusive. ALTHOUGH satisfied with the team's progress so far, members predict they will do better in the future. For the second consecutive year, they will sponsor a high school debate workshop on campus this summer. Coaches from Harvard and the University of Kentucky will assist with the workshop, Speta said, adding that the workshop is part of an effort to recruit outstanding debaters for their own team. This spring the team may sponsor a campus tournament to give University students a taste of the activity. Despite their efforts, the debaters insist that they need more money for coaches if the quality of the team is to improve. The team, however, has no definite fundraising plans yet. THE SECRET to the team's success so far lies in its strong background. Loshbough qualified for national debate tournaments three times in high school, while Green won a high school tournament sponsored by Har- vard University. Speta was a top speaker at several high school tour- naments. Although current team members have solid backgrounds, Speta and Mancuso say hard work, rather than experience, is more crucial for suc- cess on the team. During the week before a tournament, each member devotes over 20 hours to research and practice. They polish their speaking style, practice reading evidence quickly and clearly, and work out arguments so that they are not con- tradictory. Debate involves a substantial amount of work, but participants say it is worth the effort. Laumann says. "the thrill of winning an argument" is important to him because he is "a very argumentative person." "(Debate) lets people who aren't in- terested in physical sports to do something challenging - to compete intellectually," Mancuso said.
