Wesleyan team travels to Ohio to
compete in annual Ethics Bowl
Shelly Wright
EDITOR IN CHIEF
Four Wesleyan pre-professional
students, along with Debbie Smith,
coordinator of the pre-professional
program, and Dr. Ron McManus,
professor of religion and psycholo-
gy, will leave Wednesday, Feb. 28,
for the Seventh Intercollegiate
Ethics Bowl, in Cincinnati.
Ike Ana-
zodo, Robin
Lawrence,
Dori Davis
and Ann
Smith were
selected to be
on Wesleyan's
ethics team.
They will
debate against
groups from
31 other schools on issues such as
Ron
McManus
classroom topics, personal relation-
ships, professional ethics or social
and political ethics. A panel
of judges will evaluate each team
based on the criteria of intelligibili-
ty, ethical relevance, avoidance of
ethical irrelevance and judgment.
The teams will also be evaluated on
the basis of reasoning, clarity, focus
and depth.
"I'm very much in favor of giv-
ing [students] the opportunity to
think on their feet. It will have an
impact on their life in some form or
fashion," McManus said.
The Bowl will take place as part
of a convention for the Association
for Practical and Professional
Ethics, an organization of Universi-
ty professors.
This is Wesleyan's fifth year to
participate in the Bowl. Last year
the University of Washington won,
and West Point won in 1998 and
1999.
One month before the contest,
each team received 15 ethical cases.
Wesleyan's group has met for three
hours every Friday since the semes-
ter began to prepare for the Bowl.
Each member has also done outside
research, and 20 faculty members
from different areas of study have
helped the students prepare over the
last five weeks. The group had a
mock ethics case at University Col-
lege Day Feb. 21.
Being involved in the Bowl has
been insightful, according to Smith.
"You begin to see other sides,
and it teaches you a lot," she said.
"It's a wonderful experience,"
Anazodo said.
"I would like to say a big 'thank
you' to faculty here for their input."
Anazodo said he also wants to
thank Smith for taking care of
everything.
Irish students speak about
their experiences in America

CONTRIBUTING WRITER
Three Wesleyan students from
Northern Ireland returned last week-
end from a trip to Florida Southern
College in Lakeland, Fla. The stu-
dents are on a one-year exchange
program sponsored by the Business
Education Initiative. They traveled
to Florida to speak to prominent
BEI officials and other exchange
students about their experiences in
America.
The students are: Alsior Orr, a
junior business mamagement major
from Queens University; John
McGettrick, a junior majoring in
economics and politics, also from
Queens University; and Gareth
Crudden, a junior international busi-
ness major from the University of
Ulster. Each student gave a 15
minute discourse.
Crudden discussed how he has
adapted to American culture.
"I arrived here [America] with
no expectations. I have found that a
positive attitude and a smile go a
long way in helping me to overcome
any cultural differences," said Crud-
den.
Before returning home, Crud-
den said he plans to "see as much of
America as possible."
New York and New Orleans are
two destinations on Crudden's trav-
el schedule.
McGettrick discussed how he
has helped spread Irish culture.
He said he has helped promote
Irish culture by "intoducing every-
one to the heavenly flavor of Guin-
ness."
"I have been introducing vari-
ous facets of Irish culture to my
friends here, such as Irish folk
music, the traditional Irish sport of
hurling and football," said McGet-
trick.
McGettrick said that the places
he plans to visit will be "as hot as
possible and as close to the beach as
possible."
Orr discussed how her experi-
ences in America will help her in the
future.
"My experiences here have
helped me grow both as a future
business person and as an individ-
ual. Since coming here, I have a
more open perspective to most
things," said Orr.
Orr said that she enjoyed her
stay here thoroughly, and she plans
to enroll in another student
exchange program next year.
"I have found that a positive
attitude and a smile go a
long way in helping me to
overcome any cultural
differences."
-Gareth Crudden
"I enjoy visiting places and
savoring the different cultural expe-
riencs. But next yar I will try some-
place close to home, maybe in
Europe," she said.
The three students said that
they thoroughly enjoyed their visit
to Texas and their experiences of
Texan culture, and they definitely
will recommend Texas Wesleyan to
future exchange students.

Wesleyan considers new chapter
of Republican organization
Dee Flowers
NEWS EDITOR
Students are initiating a new chapter of the Texas
Federation of College Republicans, a national commit-
tee formed from a group of Young Republicans to form
an organization especially for college-age Republi-
cans.
To become a recognized campus organization, 11
students, along with Dr. Louis McLain 111, dean of the
school of business, and Dr. Jeffery DeLotto, professor
of English, met Jan. 30 to discuss what is needed and
established plans to expedite the process of approval.
Since that meeting, the organization has received
approval from the Student Government Association.
"Student life and faculty are the hardest to get
something passed" said Jimmy Bridges, a junior mar-
keting major.
They also elected officers. Kathryn Keaton, a
freshman accounting major, is president. Jason Simon,
a junior political science major, is vice president.
Amanda Jones, a junior political science major, is sec-
retary and Bridges is treasurer. They are now preparing
to get approval from the faculty.
Once approved, they will seek funding from com-
panies such as Texas Bank and plan activities such as
debates.
"I would like to try to get Dick Armey, congress-
man for Texas 26th district and house majority leader,
to speak on campus. 1 think he'd be wonderful," said
McLain.
The Young Republicans have been inactive for
several years. Keaton approached McLain last semes-
ter to start the chapter.
"I've been a sponsor in the past. Kathryn
approached me and showed great interest. I would like
to reaffirm the status. It was not as active as I would
have liked it to be. The [Young Democrats] kept the
ball rolling. We haven't," said McLain.
"I think [it's because] we got depressed," said
Simon.
"This group seems much more organized now
than then," said DeLotto.
"We couldn't find any help during the Dole elec-
tion."
The students said they look forward to getting
involved on the campus and in the outside community
to inform others of political issues.
"I would like to see this organization grow and for
us to be involved in the community and be well
informed on political issues," said Keaton.
"We need both sides of political issues presented
to students on campus, not just one side," said Simon.
The College Republicans have put together a bud-
get to go to the Texas Republicans' state convention in
San Antonio Friday, March 30 and Saturday, March 31.
The Young Democrats student organization is
presently dormant. The adviser, Dr. Robert Landolt,
professor of chemistry, is on leave until May 1. He said
he is unsure about the status of the organization.

ing technology resources and services to women

nizations and colleges, and providing bottom line value

help women break through the glass ceiling," said
Kliger.

spectives, new resources and new methods for enhanc-
ing their professional careers. According to WITI, par-
ticipants will leave the events prepared to successfully
