go, Thursday, March 30, i 972 Bohmer return supported by f acuity panel By MONTY NORRIS EVENING TRIBUNE Education Writer A special grievance com- 11ittee of the Faculty Senate ;t San Diego State College has recommended that con- troversial economics ms'.ruc- tor Peter Bohmer be rehired. The committee's 19-page report was to be presented_ to Dr. Donald E. Walker, actmg president of SDSC, today· It was exactly one month ago that Glenn S. Dumke, chancellor of the 19-campus state college syste~,. over- turned Walker's decision to rehire Bohmer and ordered the hearings by a faculty grievance committee. In a series of closed hear- ings over the past four weeks, the committee heard testi- mony from faculty, stude~ts and members of the admm1s- tration. It concluded that there .is "insufficient evidence and m- sufficient agreement among those of his (Bohmer's) peers who are in a position to judge, to conclude t~at _~on- reappointment 1s Justified. The committee therefore rec- ommends that Professor Boh- mer be reappointed for the academic year 1972-73." walker said he concurred with the report's analysis of the case and said he would forward a copy to Dumke along with his own recom- mendation that Bohmer be rehired. The report was critical of Walker's Jack of commu- nication with Bohmer about the accusations of unprofes- sional misconduct, .~ut ~alk- er defended his position m the matter. "l think the committee un- derestimated attempts made by the admini~tration to con;; municate with Bohmer, Walker said. "But I und~r- stand how much confusion there is about the whole mat- ter." "While this committee does not dispute the reality of presidential authority to over· turn the personnel recom- mendations of departments and college deans," the re· port said, "such actions may in the long run not be m_ the best interests of the umver- sity. . . "Dedication to the pnnc1ple of judgment by peers is of fundamental importance to the academic process. Arbi- trary violation of this prin- ciple may be justifiable _on the basis of information available to a university pres- ident, but nevertheless costs the university an unacceptab- ly heavy price." . The three-member gnev- ance committee consisted of Dr. Burt Nelso11, a professor of astronomy, chairman, Dr. Frank T. Awbrey, associate professor of biology, and Dr. Joann DeLora, assistant pro- fessor of sociology. · Bohmer, 27, had been ac- cused by two of his students last November of ridiculing them and giving them lower grades for opposing radical economic views. After a series of hearings at the State Office Building, he was cleared of the charges of un- professional conduct. Walker, however, notified him he would not be rehired next fall on the basis of "new information" unrelated to the original charges. Walker declined to publicly state what the "new evidence" was. After Walker decided not to rehire Bohmer, the Faculty Senate at SDSC asked the American Assn. of University Pro OIS to send in a spe- cial mvestigative team to re- view the case. After several weeks of interviewing faculty and students, the AAUP team filed a 15-page report recom- mending_ that Bohmer be re- hired. Walker then reversed his earlier decision and said he would rehire Bohmer, but Dumke mtervened and or- dered the grievance com- mittee review. Bohmer said he was grat- ified by the findings, but said he felt the report should have gone further in making rec- ommendations for keeping such hearings open in the fu- ture. He also said the committee should have heen stronger in its criticism of Walker and Dumke for intervening in per- sonnel matters that are pri- marily of departmental con- cern. Dumke declined comment and said he would not make a statement on the report until he has reached a decision on whether to intervene again or not. Dumke has five working days in which to act on the report. l i

The latter suffered a bro- ken wrist in basketball action and is stil) wearing a cast but it is hoped he will be avail- able by mid-season. Taking over for him in right field is Rick Garner who saw consid- erable action a: year ago. BAITED .365 However, the Toreros will miss Bajo and his lusty . 365 batting average which includ- ed seven homers. Gary Prior, who hit .292 as a part-timer last year, has won the starting first base job while shortstop has been taken over by freshman Ted Schultz from Escondido High. "Schultz may not swing the big bat," according to Cun- ningham, "but he has great hands and a sure arm. He may be the hest fielding shortstop we have ever had. We should have enough hit- ting to make up for any he lacks." This bat power should come from the likes of Dineen (.419 last season), Arnerich (.315) and Kinsman (.303). Dineen, only a sophomore, is one of the finest players this area has produced in many sea- sons. He led the Toreros in batting average, doubles (10), triples (7), total bases (108) and for good measure swiped a team-leading 33 bases a year ago. For his efforts Dineen was presented the "Big Stick" award as the leading col- legiate batter on the West Coast. The Toreros• will have speed on the base paths, good

"Pitching will be the key to our whole season. If it holds up, we can win a lot of ball games." Myron and Davis combined for 23 victories including 11 shutouts a year ago.

One reason: they tood a better chance ol get- .ing a job quickly when they got out. Parents who might have takt'n 1t for granted they would send their kids to col- lege a few years ago were telling the young folks now that things arc tough and they would have to make it large!) on their own. WIIO . 'EED IT? And some young citizens fresh!) eligible for college v.ere asking themselves, who needs it? The situation is far from being a crisis. Some schools - particularly those oflcring decent ec!ucation close to home at bargain rates - have more applicatlons than • the) can handle. l\lany others have as many as they ex- pected. However, a pinched econo- my and a changing attitude toward a college education is lmvmg an effect on what ,wug persons are doing and thmkmg after they get out of high school. The Carnegie Commission on Higher Educatrnn rang an a la rm of sorts last December when it reported that as many as 110.000 places in freshman classes in colleges and umversille · may go un- Jilled this year.

We're beginning to rethink the high S<:hool education and look more clos~ly at vocational-techni- cal schools. This change has not yet had a significant ef- fect, but probably will in the 70s." facing some hard facts: Economic assistance, particularly stu- dent loans, are tough to come by for the sons and daug~- ters of middle-income fami- lies; working your way through college has become rougher as jobs around campus and summer open- ings are snapped up by full- time workers glad to have the money; a diploma from a lib- eral arts college, or a degree may be less a guarantee of post-graduate employment than a certificate from a good v0<:ational school. ATTITUDE CHANGED Dr. Francis Tuttle, Okla- homa director of vocational and technical education, said, "There is no question about the change in attitude of par- ents and students regarding vo-tech training." College graduates may stand a better chance of get- ting good jobs than those who stopped after high school, he said. But unemployment is al- most nonexistent among vo- tech students he said. except in areas where technology has eliminated a certain skill.

REASON FOR SHIFT ' i '-\ Dr. Author Hughes, president of the University of San Diego, has announced that a letter written on the People's Lobby letterhea~ concerning th e. People's Initiative on environmental matters and specifically Prop. 9 includes an en_dorsement by the Umvers1ty of San Diego. The university has taken no such stand on the Proposition and Dr. Hughes has requested that _its name be deleted from the hst and not used in any way such as advertising for this initiative.
