by Rachel Shiffrin Thresher Staff The Martel family is growing. The Martel College Founding Committee announced the selection of 13 faculty, university and community associates Tuesday. Additional associates will be named later. "They were primarily chosen for their vast knowledge of Rice and for their abilities to help guide us and get things accomplished in the Rice community," Martel Associates Committee member Andrew Swinick, a Jones College sophomore, said. The associates will help guide and advise the founding committee throughout the creation of Martel. Most were chosen because they had expressed interest in the college to Martel Masters Joan and Arthur Few. The faculty associates are: Sarah Burnett, associate professor of psychology and former dean of students; Gary Morris, physics instructor; Walter Isle, former Jones master, associate provost and English professor; and Bill Leeman, geology professor and former Lovett master. The university associates are: Connie Burke, assistant to the Board of Trustees, former Lovett master and Leeman's wife; David Rodd (Lovett '78), project manager for Martel and Wiess Colleges; Mark Scheid (Baker '67), assistant to the president, director of International Programs and former assistant vice president for Student Affairs; and Richard Stabell, special assistant to the vice president for Public Affairs and former dean of admissions. The executive officers of the Martel Foundation are community associates: Ralph S. O'Connor, chair and president of the foundation; George Rupp, Columbia University president, former Rice president and foundation vice president; Karen George, vice president and treasurer; Harry Jamail, vice president and assistant secretary; and Karen Matthews, secretary. Also a community associate is Patrick Saunders (Jones '00). The deadline for applications was Dec. 1, and transfer students who have been admitted to Martel will be informed of their admission status in the next few days. The building is scheduled for completion in December 2001 so students can move in by 2002.
