Staff Writer
On its regular July 28th meeting, the U of
L Board of Trustees approved Mary Holland
Mundt as the new Dean of the School of
Nursing.
She will begin her job on Sept. 1st.
Chairperson of the Search Committee Kay
Roberts said Mundt had many qualities that
would be valuable to the position.
"She has a good vision for the school (of
nursing)," Roberts said. "She's really aware
in the national health care changes and policy.
She's also very aware of how to develop a
health care work force."
Donald Kmetz, Vice-President of Health
. Affairs, chose Mundt because of her amount
of experience and education.
"She was at an urban university that was
very similar to Louisville," he said. "And she
also has a lot of schooling and experience,
which also makes it a plus."
In May, a Search Committee interviewed
and recommended two people. Kametz took
those recommendations to the Provost Carol
Garrison and the Vice-President of
administration Larry Owsley.
All three met and agreed on Mundt as an
appointee. They took their decision to the
Board of Trustees, who agreed on their
decision.
Mundt said she was excited about her knew
position.
"I can't wait to start working," she said.
"I'm really looking forward to it."
Mundt's desire to become a nurse started
at young age. ·
"Ever since I was ten, it was one of those
things, I read stories about nurses, and really
like what they did," she said.
Mundt followed her dream, and became
a nurse in 1971 at St. Joseph's Hospital in
Milwuakee. At the end of that year, she
transferred to the City of Mi1wuakee Health
Department, where she served as a public
health nurse. There she developed an interest
in "public_health care nursing."
"I worked in the hospital, but I really liked
public health care nursing," she said. "Public
heath care nursing is going to go check on
patients in their homes, and interact with the
patient on a more personal basis."
In 1976, she left her nursing position to
attend the University of North Carolina.
Upon receiving her degree, she took a

James Harris and Ashley Young play a game of cards in their Threlkeld Hall dorm room on Sept. 9. The duo are being moved out
of the temporary dorm room they share to separate rooms in Miller Hall and the International House, a move they have protested.
Moving Violations:

Unlike many freshmen dorm residents
who have trouble adjusting to their new
roommates and college life, James Harris
and Ashley Young made the transition
smoothly. They moved into their room on
the fourth floor of Threlkeld Hall on
August 23 and quickly became good
friends. They made friends with other
people on their floor and joined their
dorm's intramural flag football team.
They settled into their room, putting
posters on the walls and making the room
their own.
Late Sunday night, the two young men
returned to their dorm room to find that
someone had slid a note under their door.
What they read in that note was very
disturbing to them.
"It was a moving notice," Harris said.
"It was from the Housing Department and
it said we had been found permanent
rooms and we had to move by Sept. 15."
Before school started Harris and Young
had both received their room assignments
from Housing and were informed that they
were on a waiting list for freshman housing.
"We admit that we were
told from the beginning
that this was only
temporary housing, but
for every rule there is an
exception."

Until those rooms opened up, they were
placed in Threlkeld Hall, where freshmen are
not allowed to permanently live but are often
placed temporarily.
So when Harris and Young moved into
Housing has two new
students on the go
their room, they knew they might not be
in there for long. But after the first two
weeks of school passed with no word from
Housing, the roommates said they no
longer thought about their room being
only temporary.
"We talked to a lot of our friends who
are upperclassmen and they said if we
were here that long, we'd probably be
staying here," Young said.
"We admit that we were told from the
beginning that this was only temporary
housing,"Harris said, "but for every rule
there is an exception."
The note they received Sunday night
told them otherwise. They were informed
that Young would be moved to Unitas
Tower and Harris would be moved to the
International House.
Unitas Tower and Miller Hall are only
open to first year students. They feature

trade hired
as new dean

For Arts and Sciences Dean Randy Moore,
science has been a career. But, the doctorate of
plant development says he sees the same value
in a Botticelli that he sees in botany.
''The arts can inspire you," Moore explained.
Texas born, Moore came to U of L from the
University of Akron where he served as Dean
of Buchtel College of Arts and Science from
1993 to 1995. Before joining the Akron faculty,
Moore was Associate Dean of the College of
Science and Mathematics at Wright State
University in Dayton, Ohio.
He was chosen last April from 5 finalist
candidates seeking to become the new Dean .
Mary Hawkesworth, chairperson of the dean
search committee and chairperson of the
political science department, said Moore will
bring a lot of expenence and prestige to the
University.
''Dean Moore is an award winning teacher,
a superb scholar and an innovative ethical
administrator," she said. "We're very lucky to
have succeeded in recruiting him to the College
of Arts and Science."
According to his press release, Moore has
earned many distinctions during his career as a
biologist such as a 1987 Fulbright Scholarship
for travel to Thailand. He has written four books
and more than 150 articles.
He holds degrees in biology and botany from
Texas A~M University and the University of
Georgia, and a doctorate from the University
of California at Los Angeles.
Dr. Joseph Chalmers, chairman of physics
department, said "He seems to be enthusiastic,
energetic and will be a breath of fresh air to the
college."
As far as faculty matters, Moore has made
his position clear on post-tenure review - he's
against it. But he insists he has very high
expectations for all faculty members calling for
first-class scholarship, quality publication and
involvement with discipline at all levels.
Moore complemented outgoing Dean David
Howarth, who now occupies a position in the
Provost office, saying "He has done an excellent
job; consequently, I've inherited few problems
coming in." Moore said that he is deeply
appreciative of the many efforts made during
the transition period.
While Moore is just beginning his career at
U of L, he has thought about changes he intends
to make ... "Generally, I'll be attempting to

Lack of parking space a concern (or students

University of Louisville students are
unhappy with the parking conditions on
campus this semester.
The c~ief complaint is lack of available
spaces during times when most students have
classes.
Some, like junior James Beams; have been
forced to use a pay meter despite having paid
for parking tags. "I've already had to park at
a pay meter several times this semester. If I'm
not at school by 7-7:30AM on the days I have
classes, I have to park somewhere besides the
lois. It's not right. I feel like I just gave my
money to U of L for a parking tag I can't even
use."
Sophomore Suzanne Grissom agrees. "It's
impossible to find a space in the garage or by
campus. Usually, if I get here very early, I
can find a space by the Fourth street lot, but
that is a long walk in bad weather, especially
with winter just around the corner. U of Lis a
commuter school, and they should be able to
accommodate the commuters. We all pay
money to go here, and I don't think it's
unreasonable for us to have a place near
school to park."
According to Dorreen Wood, Coordinator
for Parking and Administration at the
University, there are parking spaces available.
"Typically, on Belknap campus, there are
places available to park."
However, more parking tags are sold than
spaces are available due to the different
schedules of students. According to U of L
parking figures, these are not sold on a one to
one basis. For the yellow resident tags, 748
permits were sold for 677 spaces, and for
green access parking tags, 8,890 were sold
for 5,619 spaces. Wood said the green tags
are sold and do not discriminate between day
and night students.
Another grievance among students is the
price of parking tags. A green tag costs $72
this year, a price many students think is too
expensive,
"I used to park in the Fourth Street lot, but
the farther I progress through school, the
farther away my classes become. So now,
even though I pay an outrageous price for a
parking tag, I still can't find a place near my
classes to park," junior Michelle Fleming said.
Wood said the prices of parking tags are
only raised about 2% per year, to offset the
cost of the building of the parking structures.
"The permit keys are raised to offset expenses.
The price for a single space is about $6,000."
Wood also said that the University must pay
back a substantial fee on the loan for the
garage each year.
