Pi Kappa Phi charter suspended Fraternity is defunct after failing to meet 'chapter standards ' READER'S POLL 1 994 r By Emily Wester News editor Pi Kappa Phi fraternity no longer exists at Jacksonville State University. The alumni of Pi Kappa Phi's Delta Ep- silon Chapter voted to suspend the charter of the undergraduate chapter and to close Goodwin named the chapter house on November 18. "When all the . . accusations were Teacher of the Year printed in the paper (The Anniston Star )," said Pi Kappa Phi president Rusty Garner, "the school called our nationals." The Anniston Star reported that Jackson- ville firemen were called to the fraternity house at 208 West Mountain Street early on the morning of November 12 to put out a bonfire for which the fraternity had no permit. During the incident, the Jackson- ville city police also arrived at the scene. When the officers returned to their cars later, they found paint had been scratched from the bodies of the cars. The fraternity was placed on probation. Director of Student Activities Teny McCarthy said, "I informed their national fraternity about this (the probation) as I always do whenever there is disciplinary action."

A little background: Huttenstine began her tenure last year. She is a highly respected, some would say renowned, commu- nication law expert. In addition to that, her qualifications are far too numerous to list here. A few highlights from the list include things like serving as a legal consultant for the Ala- FWR WAYS A EMUATIC CANDIPATE CAN END HIS bama Press Association, the New York Times Regional Group WTICAb CARER. and even the Federal Trade Commission. She also has exten- sive experience in the fields of both education and journalism. More important than any of these things, however, is the fact that in the short time she's been here, Huttenstine has earned the loyalty and respect of her students. Rumors about her dismissal even prompted the circulation of petitions, which garnered well over a hundred signatures. Communication students have even gone before the SGA and the Dean of Communication and Fine Arts. JSU officials have commented in the past about how seri- ously they take student evaluations. We suspect the evalua- tions of Huttenstine were highly favorable, but then those aren't made public either, so we can only speculate. If those E!
