Southern Methodist Professors Seek Full-Faculty Vote on Proposed Bush Institute

Some 170 professors at Southern Methodist University have signed a petition asking for a full-faculty vote on whether it would be acceptable for the campus to be the site of a partisan Bush Institute, faculty leaders announced on Thursday. The institute would be part of a proposed George W. Bush Presidential Library complex, for which Southern Methodist is the final contender as host institution.

“Nobody is objecting to the presidential library, which we hope will come to SMU,” David A. Freidel, a university distinguished professor of anthropology and former Faculty Senate president said in a news release. The institute, however, is objectionable, he said, because its director would report to a private Bush foundation and not the university or the National Archives and Records Administration, which would be in charge of the library. Mr. Freidel called that arrangement “an unprecedented departure for SMU in that it lends our university’s name and credibility to a partisan institute over which we would not actually exercise oversight.”

The petition asks the Faculty Senate to hold a referendum of the entire faculty by next Wednesday “on the acceptability of the Bush Institute as distinct from the proposed library and museum.” Such a distinction, however, may be moot. SMU’s president, R. Gerald Turner, told professors on Wednesday that “the library complex is an all or nothing venture,” The Daily Campus, Southern Methodist’s student newspaper, reported. “The institute cannot be cut from the deal if SMU is to receive the Bush library complex,” Mr. Turner said.

How partisan the institute would be has been a concern among faculty members for months. A group of Methodist ministers has also opposed associating the university with President Bush, but for reasons other than academic freedom.

is beyond laughable.

11. I can connect "Bush" and "institutionalize"

As in " * should be in an institution"

Sounds better than "The George W Bush Institute for the Study of Nukular Terrism"

Freedom Lyrics

Uggh!
Pull, pull
Wuh!
Come on!
Uggh!
Solo, I'm a soloist on a solo list
Al live, never on a floppy disk
Inka, inka, bottle of ink
Paintings of rebellion
Drawn up by the thoughts I think

Yeah!
Come on!
The militant poet in once again, check it

It's set up like a deck of cards
They're sending us to early graves
For all the diamonds
They'll use a pair of clubs to beat the spades
With poetry I paint the pictures that hit
More like the murals that fit
Don't turn away
Get in front of it

Brotha, did ya forget ya name?
Did ya lose it on the wall
Playin' tic-tac-toe?

Yo, check the diagonal
Three brothers gone
Come on
Doesn't that make it three in a row?

Spoken quietly: "Anger is a gift"

Come on!
Uggh!

(Guitar solo)

Check that!
Uggh!
Come on
Yeah
Uggh

Brotha, did ya forget ya name?
Did ya lose it on the wall
Playin' tic-tac-toe?

Yo, check the diagonal
Three million gone
Come on
'Cause they're counting backwards to zero

Environment
The environment exceeding on the level
Of our unconciousness
For example
What does the billboard say
Come and play, come and play
Forget about the movement

Spoken quietly: "Anger is a gift"

Yeeeaaahhhh!
Uggh!
Awww, bring that shit in!
Uggh!
Hey!

Freedom...yea...
Freedom...yea right...
Freedom...yeeeaaahhh!
Freedom!
Yea!
Freedom!
Yea right!
Freedom!
Yea!
Freedom!
Yea!
Right!
