Alabama Vol. &No. W January 11, 1985 Mild controversy erupts over - senate resolution By JAN DICKINSON A resolution calling for a faculty-wide vote of "no confidence" in Resident Theron Montgomery was presented to the Faculty Senate at its December 10 meeting, two days before Montgomery anriounced his resignation to the Board of Trustees. Now the sponsor of the resolution, Dr. Gene Blanton, of the English Department, says that he intends to withdraw the resolution at the January 14 meeting of the senate. 13lanton stated in the January 6 edition of the Anniston Star that, because of comments made by several members of the Board of bstees, the wssibility of dropping the resolution was strong. According to that article, trustee Paul Carpenter said, "It (the vote) wouid make absolutely no difference in my opinion. We have studied the entire situation, and we are satisfied with the decision." Another board member, Dwaine Luce, stated, "....the bard is responsible for running the school, and the faculty is responsible for iristructing the students." Echoing the sentiments of Carpenter, he added, "'I'he board has inade its decision and the board, in my pinion, will stand by its decision." According to Dr. Thomas Nicholson, senate president, resolutjons that request information are usually presented !'If there is no objection to the withdrawal, the resolution could bedropped. If objections occur, the senate willvote on whether to drop the resolution or continue discussion of it." He added that if the majority decide to discuss the resolution, "possibily Atlanta puts rhythm in studenis damaging information" could surface. "In that case, we would go into executive session' (closed to all except senators) before continuing," he said. Nicholson's opinion was that no one would object to the withdrawal of the resolution, since the Board of Trustees indicated that they would "stick to their decison." According to JSU AEA President Don Paxton, of the Economics Department, even though the position of the organization has not changed since December 12, a faculty vote of "no confidence" could be worthless. "The board could ignore it, irrespective of who sponsored it, the Faculty Senate or the JSU AEA." Paxton explained that, although a few AEA Campus police work surfaces members are in the senate, they have not been instructed to oppose the withdrawal.
