Lo Schiavo Roundtables Negotiation Issues
By ERIC UELAND
Concerned about the "quality of education at the University of San Francisco", five students presented a petition to
President John Lo Schiavo, S.J. Wednesday afternoon calling for the imposition of a contract settlement in the current
negotiations with the University of San Francisco Faculty
Association (USFFA).  —
The petition, signed by over 500
students, calls for "all outstanding
areas of dispute be submitted to a
mutually-acceptable arbitrator
who would then fashion a compromise that would be binding on
both parties.
Lo Schiavo accepted the position. However, in a nearly hour-
long round-table discussion with

Arbitrator Role?

major Jolene Kearnes. the issue is
clear: "an arbitrator is someone
who is impartial and objective . . .
and you need someone who is objective to come, not from one side,
or another side, or this side, and
say this is silly*' and make a decision.
Lo Schiavo. however, sees the
faculty wish for an arbitrator to
impose a final decision in case of
economic layoff as a problem.
"What you are saying is please,
have someone who will come in
and decide whether the Board of
Trustees will run this University or
not." said Lo Schiavo. citing as an
example a hypothetical elimination
of thc Communication Arts Department.
Lo Schiavo argued that, due to
the legal formation of the University, "with the Board as responsible party," their possible decision
to eliminate the department for
economic reasons and lay off these
faculty members should not be
subjected to outside review.
Thc University is "maintaining
integrity by not allowing an outside, unconcerned, unresponsible

Losing Control?
Genetic Ethics
By BARRY R. I'M II \
"Gene therapy is specifically the ability to put a
functional gene into a human being with the sole
purpose of correcting a genetic disease."
Addressing a crowd of over 200, Dr. W. F.
Anderson, chief of the Molecular Hematology
Laboratory ofthe National Heart. Lung and Blood
Institute, a pioneer in gene therapy and advisor to
the President's Commission for the Study of Ethical Problems in Medicine, delivered the 1987
Davies forum public lecnire held October 27.
The focus of the lecture was on current practices
of gene therapy and Ihe ethical protocol established
by the National Institute of Health.
Dr. Anderson began by describing the four prin
cipal kinds of gene therapy that presently exist. The
first two, somatic gene therapy and germ line
therapy seem acceptable under present ethical
norms and guidelines, while enhancement genetic
engineering and eugenic gene therapy require extensive ethical review.
"Gene therapy or the application of biotechnology to the treatment of human diseases is not
something that is done by two or three people, but
is a very large coordinated program oriented to
develop the technology to cure a genetic disease."
Somatic gene therapy is the ability to transler
genes into the body cells to restore normal function
to a damaged or absent gene. Dr. Anderson stated.

Vice President to Hand Over Reins
By BRANDON T. GOVERN
"1 have been blessed to have
moved up the ladder in my profession and in Jesuit Education. This
is the highest I can go." reflected
Dr. Anne Dolan. Vice President
for Student Development since
1974
Fr. John LoSchiavo announced
Dr. Dolan's retirement in an open
letter dated October 27, 1986. In
thc letter the President highlighted
her "selflessness . . . (and) dedication to the apostolic mission of
Saint Ignatius Loyola.
There are only four women vice
presidents in Jesuit colleges and
Dr. Dolan is one of them. The
other three serve al Boston College. Canisius College (Beffalo),
and Loyola College in Chicago.
"I've really enjoyed my association with the University very
much. That's not to say that everything is just the way I'd like to
have it. but there have been many
pleasant things. . . . I've not regretted the decision to come to

Dr. Dolan noted several changes
that have taken place since she became USF's first Dean of Women
in 1964. "Women living in residence halls had lo be in at 10:30
and sign out after 7 p.m. if they
were leaving and sign in when they
came in. Students couldn't wear
slacks to class and young men had
to wear shirt, tie. and jacket to
dinner" said Dolan.
"Pressures have changed. . . .
It was easier to live a normal life in
1964. Then the drug situation was
so seldom it was rarely heard. Alcohol was a problem then and still
is today."
Dr. Dolan received her
Bachelor's in Business Administration from the University of Minnesota and her Masters in Education at Marquette, later receiving a
'doctorate from Northwestern University. When USF went co-ed in
1964. the then Dean of Students
Fr. LoSchiavo recruited Dr. Dolan
as USF's first Dean of Women.
Dr. Dolan spoke fondly of her
achievements among which includes the creation of the women's
athletic program. In fact thai "program started since I've been Vice
