The recently ratified contract that was agreed upon by the administration and the negotiating team for Eastern’s chapter of the University Professionals of Illinois will not be on the agenda for the Monday meeting of Eastern’s Board of Trustees because the language of the contract is still being finalized. The BOT will meet at 8:30 a.m. in the 1895 Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. UPI, which represents about 600 tenure, tenure track and academic support employees, ratified their new contract on Jan. 14. Shelly Flock, director of media relations, said university and UPI representatives might not finish finalizing the language of the contract before the BOT meeting. “This process is not expected to be completed in time for the contract to be provided to Board of Mandy Marshall / Photo editor Trustees members for Monday’s meeting,” Flock (above lower) Julius Marumbl, one of the younger African Acrobats, shows off his skills in doing the limbo.

Although making money usually is a good incen- tive for students, taking a professor’s notes and posting them online is not a very ethical choice. Many professors already voluntarily post their notes online or provide copies of their notes at the University Print Shop. Students who are getting paid for professor’s notes are cashing in on their professor’s property. Janet Cardinell, director of campus relations for Versity.com, said she thinks obtaining notes from the Web site enhances the educational process. Cardinell also said Varsity.com could benefit professors because they can look at the notes post- ed to see if their students understand the material. However, the point of attending classes is not only to learn about the subject matter for the course, but to interact with other students and gain knowledge from them as well. An easier and more effective way of doing this is for students and professors to interact and dis- cuss subject matter rather than try to guess if the material is being understood. The best way for students to learn is to attend classes and gain information from professionals who know the subject rather than from students who just want to make a few extra dollars.
