Broken and slow computers could be a thing of the past depending on if a new proposal is accepted. The Academic Technology Advisory Committee’s subcom- mittee on student fees has released a proposal for computer replacement cycles in the univer- sity. To be implemented, the pro- posal must be approved by ATAC at its Feb. 2 meeting at 2 p.m. in Kate Mitchell / Assoc. photo editor the Paris room of the Martin Missing ingredients have disappointed many Eastern students who try to get a complete sandwich for a meal.

We can’t expect someone to make a long-term commitment to us if we don’t make one to him or her. All faculty and staff do not agree with Surles’ idea of offering benefits in lieu of tenure. David Radavich, president of Eastern’s chapter of the University Professionals of Illinois, said it would put the university at a disadvantage to not offer tenure to incoming administrators, while other prospective schools still would. Just last fall Surles reassigned Teshome Abebe, former provost and vice president for academic affairs, to the eco- nomics department. Abebe is currently working as a full tenured economics professor and is suing Surles and the uni- versity on the basis of racial, ethnic and sexual discrimina- tion. If Surles truly thinks this recommendation is the way to go, she needs to find a better reason for it.

Time and opportunity are running out for the Panthers as they near the end of the sea- son. Eastern will try to pick things up against the University of Northern Iowa and pull together to meet the challenge that lies ahead in qualifying for nationals. The meet against Northern Iowa has always been an important match for Eastern and this year is no different. The test will be put to McCausland and his grapplers as they face the nationally-ranked team this Sunday “This will be a big match,” McCausland said. “A win will definitely help our regional goals and we would be securing a better seed at the national tournament.” McCausland is depending on each wrestler to step up and focus individually on the matches. “They are solid at each weight,” McCausland said. “We have to focus individ- ually. We need to key in and evaluate our- selves to rise to the occasion.” With the end of the season drawing near, McCausland is factoring in the pressure that may face his team in competition. “We’re winding down,” McCausland said. “There are three competitions left and only Bill Ruthhart/ Staff photographer eight days to get ready for the national quali- Junior Joe Gleissner wrestlers an opponent from the University of Missouri in the 197-weight class Sunday in Lantz Gym.
