Cartwright says tape recording supports her fear of Bayh team

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Fired Hoosier Lottery employee Mary Cartwright says tape recorded telephone conversations with a lottery official support her claims she had legitimate reason to fear for her safety. Lottery security director Lacy M. Johnson warned her to distrust administration officials and avoid meeting diem in secluded places, according to a tape-recoded telephone conversation reviewed by The Indianapolis Star. CARTWRIGHT, FORMER lottery personnel director, was fired for what the Gov. Evan Bayh administration said were outrageous statements about fearing harm from Bayh’s staff. The Bayh administration, through Indianapolis attorney Henry J. Price, denied that Cartwright was wrongly fired, even in view of Johnson’s tape-recorded comments to her. “She is attempting, in my judgment, intentionally, calculadngly, to try to use this tape to justify her behavior in making the comments and engaging in the behavior she did with the media, which led to her termination,” Price said. CARTWRIGHT MAINTAINS she had reason to fear Bayh aides following her sexual harassment complaint against former lottery director Jack Crawford. The tape recording of two conversations between Cartwright and Johnson was made without his knowledge on Dec. 9, the day before Crawford was forced to resign.

Ill’s emphasis on research may discourage minority students, departing professor says

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) Indiana University’s emphasis on quality research may be accomplished at the expense of lowincome and minority students, says a professor is leaving after he was denied tenure. “There’s plenty of bad teachers here, but if you recruit the best high school graduates that you can, they’re self-motivated, they know how to read, they understand the language used by the predominantly white, middle-class, well-educated faculty, there’s not going to be a glaring problem,” said sociology professor Gregory Hooks. HOOKS HAS TAUGHT many low-income minority students in lU’s Groups program, which supports students who are poor, whose parents are not college graduates or who are handicapped. About 90 percent of the students are black or Hispanic. About 20 percent of them graduate.

Among other things, the tape shows that Johnson told her to hire a criminal attorney and immediately move her family out of her apartment on Indianapolis’ northside. BECAUSE OF THOSE conversations and because an Indiana State Police trooper had entered her apartment without her consent Cartwright later told reporters she had reason to fear members of the administration. Those claims were labeled “outrageous lies” by the administration and were used as the basis to fire her from her job on Jan. 10. Cartwright has filed legal notice of her intent to sue the state over the firing. She is represented by Timothy Bookwaiter, a Putnam County Republican running for County Council who works in Indianapolis. The tape recording, supplied to The Indianapolis Star by Cartwright, will be part of that lawsuit “I WAS VERY nervous, concerned and upset before I talked to Lacy,” Cartwright said. “After I talked to Lacy, I was even more concerned, upset and afraid. “At that point, I really did not know what was going on. The things Lacy told me made me even more afraid and cautious that things were really getting out of hand. I did not know what was happening, and I did not know what to expect” On Price’s advice, Johnson would not comment for The Star’s story.

Professors who haven’t been trained to teach and aren’t rewarded for good teaching may present problems for many of those students, Hooks said. According to Hooks, IUBloomington’s promotion system emphasizes research so much that many professors don’t have time for quality teaching. “MY JOB IS EASY with an ‘A’ student,’’ said Hooks. “But when I really have to be a teacher is when I’m painfully aware that I wasn’t taught how to be an educator,” Hooks is moving to Washington State University in Pullman this summer because the IU sociology department did not consider his research strong enough to consider him for tenure. Administrators are taking a new look at the tenure process, seeking ways to help young faculty members with their teaching skills. CERTAINLY INDIANA University has prided itself for many years and quite justly so on being a great research institution, and we have also prided ourselves in terms of being a great teaching institution,” said Univer-

Tobacco firm’s letter lights up Monroe smoking debate

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) A letter from a tobacco company urging Monroe County residents to oppose a possible change in antismoking regulations is igniting debate. County Commission Tim Tilton called the letter sent by Philip Morris tobacco company to an undetermined number of county residents an intrusion and waste of taxpayers’ money. THE JUNE 22 LETTER asked recipients to speak out against a

A REVIEW OF THE tape showed that Johnson, 37, an attorney and a former Indiana State Police lieutenant colonel: • Told Cartwright that the administration was planning to fire and arrest Crawford, and that Cartwright should hire a criminal attorney. • Counseled Cartwright against attending any meeting with administration officials at state police headquarters. If she had to attend a meeting at a state police facility, he said, it should be the one on East 21st Street because ”... there are literally tons of people in there. Glass doors. You know, everyone in the world can see.” • Warned Cartwright against remaining in her apartment that evening. • Told her to demand the services of a 24-hour-a-day guard. • Warned her to distrust the administration and to keep detailed records in preparation for a possible lawsuit against the state. “THEY JUST SEEM to think they can buffalo you,” Johnson told her. “That’s what kind of people they are.” He also told her “In the state of Indiana, if they don’t give you what you want, you are going to have to stick it to them. What I am talking about is that you might have to file a lawsuit and threaten them. They’ll pay. They’ll pay big dollars. Your case, Mary, is worth millions.” Cartwright said the conversation heightened her distrust of the administration’s intentions and made

sity Division Director Rozelle Boyd, who oversees all freshmen and also sophomores who have not chosen a major. If IU wants a more diverse student body, “we need to place added emphasis on the university as a teaching institution so that we can make sure that we honor our contract with freshmen,” he said. “THIS IS NOT BY any means to say that emphasis should be reduced in other places, but merely that there needs to be an additional reward system for fine teaching.” College of Arts and Sciences Dean Morton Lowengrub said he is developing proposals to encourage more facultv involvement in teaching minorities and women, particularly in areas in which they are not well represented. “Not at the expense of research,” he said, “but rather hand-in-hand with research.” BLOOMINGTON CAMPUS chancellor Kenneth Gros Louis said faculty frustration has peaked at IU-Bloomington. To improve morale, he said, “we do need to do more to reward good teaching.” “INDIANA UNIVERSITY’S

proposal by the Monroe County health board to phase out smoking in county restaurants by 1993. It also included the names and addresses of the three county commissioners, to whom complaints were to be addressed. A spokesman for Philip Morris in New York, N.Y., said sending out letters against anti-smoking legislation is common practice. “We receive a number of letters from the roughly 55 million smokers around the country who experience what they believe is unfair discrimination,” said spokesman Andrew White. “They have asked Philip Morris to keep them informed.” TILTON AND commissioner Joyce Poling both received letters

her fearful of its officials. IN FACT, AT ONE point on the tape, Johnson asks her if she believes she needs protection. “Yes, I think I need protection!” she blurted in an agitated voice. “But I think I need protection against them, too!” But the tape also shows that Johnson took great pains to recommend attorneys for her and to offer help to her and her family. And while Cartwright clearly is anxious and distraught at times, most parts of the conversations took place in calm, even, businesslike tones. THAT, AND THE FACT that Cartwright took pains to establish the time of the call by calling a number that gives the time and recording it, leads Price to believe that the call to Johnson was made with a very specific purpose. “It seems clear to me from listening to the tape and looking at the transcript, that the overriding consideration of Mary Cartwright here was a desire to preserve her position in her potential sexual harassment lawsuit,” he said. “She wasn’t hysterical, she wasn’t panic-stricken, she wasn’t fearful of anybody except Jack Crawford, and whatever influence he was going to be able to maintain. “I don’t know why she chose to tape a conversation of someone who was her friend, supposedly, her adviser, supposedly, her supporter, her advocate; someone that she had used to give her advice on her potential lawsuit.”

academic agenda calls for highquality teaching and research,” he said. “But look more closely and you can see that fundamentals like critical thinking and writing skills are not a part of our academic reality.” To improve the university’s attitude toward teaching, Dean of the Faculties Anya Peterson Royce has set up a fourfold approach: • The Bloomington campus now requires that all graduate students who teach get some training, so that the transition to professor is easier for them. • Training programs are being developed to help young faculty with teaching, to ease the demands it places on their time and energy. • Increased support for teaching will be among topics discussed when Royce and her staff meet this year with chairs and deans of departments and schools. • Better criteria are being developed for tenure committees to use in evaluating teaching, so it is more likely to be weighed equally with research. “There is a perception that research is easier to evaluate than teaching,” she said.

and comments from their constituents most of whom complained not about the regulations, but about the letter. “This stuff is propaganda, pure and simple,” Tilton said, adding the cost of sending the letters is a “hidden tax” passed on to smokers and possibly to other consumers. One Monroe County man who received the letter, Robert Jones, took a different stand. He wrote to all three commissioners to protest the proposed regulations. “I DON’T FAVOR THE board of health position at all,” he said. “I’m 77 years old and I don’t appreciate anybody telling me (what to do) at this stage of the game. The next thing they’ll be knocking on my door, and if we smoke, they’ll

Lotto Cash - ■ HOOSIER LOTTERY tm— Winning Numbers Drawn Saturday, June 30,1990 01 05 07 19 22 29

One player wins lotto; daily game starts today

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) For the third time in four weeks, one player matched all six winning numbers in the Hoosier Lottery’s weekly Lotto Cash drawing. The winning ticket, worth $2.5 million minus federal income taxes, contains the numbers one, five, seven, 19, 22 and 29. It may be redeemed at the lottery headquarters at Pan American Plaza in downtown Indianapolis. IN A NEWS release, the lottery said 219 players had matched five winning numbers in Saturday’s drawing and wi’l receive prizes of $648 each. For matching four winning numbers, 8,470 players will receive prizes of $55 each. The jackpot for the July 7, 1990, Lotto Cash drawing will be at least $1 million. A Chicago woman is $46,000 richer thanks to a rental car and her good fortune on the Hoosier Lottery’s weekly Millionaire game. “I CAME HERE with my sisters and none of us has a very dependable car, so we toiled over how to get here,” she Marjorie Koppel, following her victory Saturday night on the “Hoosier Millionaire.” “Should we take a plane, a train, a bus or rent a car? Well, we rented a car ... and I figure I made over SII,OOO per hour in the car. That’s not too bad, huh?” Ms. Koppel won $21,000 in three preliminary rounds of show held in Terre Haute. Then, in the millionaire round, she chose the number one panel on the prize board, which turned out to be worth SIOO,OOO. SHE COULD HAVE kept that money but risked it for another chance at $1 million. This time, she picked the number two panel, which revealed a symbol marking the end of the game. Her $25,000 consolation prize pushed her total winnings to $46,000. “I came here with nothing but a one-dollar investment, and I’m going back to Chicago with $46,000. I wouldn’t have dreamed this in a million years,” said Ms. Koppel, who plans to use some of the money for a new car. OTHER WINNERS IN the special show at Terre Haute South High School were Charlotte Riddle, Oakland City, $14,000 in cash and 1,000 in-

He said they’ve been on the Philip Morris mailing list for several years. But Tilton said the mailing did not seem to be well coordinated. ONE WOMAN IN Monroe County, Ohio, received a letter by mistake, he said. Another letter was sent to a woman who died six months ago from lung and liver cancer. And some who received the letter appear to be non-smokers. White said his company favors “accommodation and common courtesy” for both smokers and non-smokers. “We believe strongly that there

Contestants picked for the July 7 Hoosier Millionaire show were Frank Hudson, Louisville, Ky.; Michael Parsley, Indianapolis; Boyd S. Powell, Hartford City; Keith Boling, Vallonia; Thomas A. Davis, South Bend; and Nigel J. Perry, Fort Wayne. MEANWHILE, HOOSIERS will get a look at two new daily computerized games when the lottery introduces the last of its products today. Tickets for the “Daily 3” and “Daily 4” games were available beginning at 6 a.m. at more than 2,000 outlets that now sell weekly Lotto Cash tickets. The winning numbers will be drawn and televised live at 6:58 p.m. Sunday through Friday. On Saturday, they will be chosen at 6:29 p.m. during the Hoosier Millionaire lottery game show. ALL PRIZES IN THE daily game will be fixed rather than based on the volume of play. The prizes will not roll over from day to day. For $1 per play, contestants can make wagers in one of three ways: straight, boxed or combo. To win the largest prizes up to $5,000 players must have a ticket with the winning numbers in the correct order. This is known as winning “straight.” Players also may play numbers boxed, which allows a player to win if he has the winning numbers in any order. While the odds of winning are better this way, the prizes are substantially smaller. PRIZES FOR boxed winners in Daily 3 range from SBO to $l6O. Prizes for Daily 4 range from S2OO to $1,200. Players also may play a combo, a $1 wage in which 50 cents is played straight and the other 50 cents is played boxed. This option offers the player the best odds but the lowest amount of prizes. For Daily 3, combo prizes range from S4O to $330; for Daily 4, the prizes range from SIOO to $3,100. Daily game tickets will be sold every day except Christmas Day.

is no need for draconian measures to outlaw smoking,” he said. “There is certainly a trend among some pressure groups to legislate preferred behavior. This has some very serious First Amendment implications.” WHITE SAID HE IS not concerned about the trend because past efforts to ban smoking have ultimately failed. White described the attitude of anti-smoking proponents as “an ideological view masquerading as science.” Only 24 studies have been conducted on the effects of secondhand smoke, he said, and 19 of those were inconclusive. “The evidence clearly is not here.”
