Can you trust medicines derived from plants? Will the Microsoft antitrust case aid consumers or simply benefit the company’s competitors? Are ballot initiatives a sign of the strength or weakness of our democratic system? These are some of the issues that will be addressed by distinguished faculty from the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø at Saturday Seminars, which are held before four home football games this year.

ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø President Richard L. McCormick announced today new titles for the chief executive officer of its campuses in Bothell and Tacoma. The titles of the heads of the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, Bothell and the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø, Tacoma will become “Chancellor and Dean,” recognizing the dual roles these individuals play in campus management and external relations, as well as academic, budgetary and capital matters.

A ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø undergraduate has been selected to receive a prestigious national scholarship for students preparing for careers in public service. R. Paul Stimers, a junior majoring in political science, has been selected to receive a scholarship awarded by the Harry S. Truman Scholarship Foundation.

On Friday, Oct. 11, the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø will host an in-service day, “Education for the 21st Century,” which will give Seattle Public School educators an opportunity to explore ways to use instructional technology and service learning in the curriculum to prepare students to be effective citizens and meet the challenges of our changing world.

Faculty and staff salaries, accountability to the public, enrollment growth, legislative and budget goals, cooperation among ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø campuses, and –above all–the preservation of academic excellence–are among the topics to be discussed by ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø President Richard L. McCormick when he addresses the University community.
