Enrollment guidelines policy

returns to Council committee

By BILL STRAUH
Assistant Managing Editor

Attempts to send an enrollment guide-
lines policy to the University Senate in
time for the March meeting suffered a set
back Monday when the Senate Council sent
a controversial section back to committee
for revision.

This was the second appearance of the
proposed guidelines for limited enrollment
before the Senate Council. It was original-
ly sent back to the Senate‘s Committee on
Admissions and Academic Standards to
elicit comments from University Presi-
dent Utis Singletary and Dr. Lewis
Cochran. vice president for academic
affairs. and Dr Peter Bosomworth, vice
president of the Medical (‘enter

IT WAS .\ (‘tnnll-JNI‘ by Singletary on
Section Four concerning academic
recruiting that sent the (‘ouncil into
debate.

"President Singletary thought special
note should be made of minority student
recruiting." said Dr William Peters,
t‘ouncil chairman of the (‘ommittee on
Admissionsand Academic Standards. "He
felt minority students were possibly being
excluded from the section and felt
something should be done."

But the wording of the proposed change.
Peters said. could cause some minority
group members to feel insulted. it read:
"Machinery should be established that
would provide the thrust to recruit on a
l'niversityv'ide basis superior un—
dergraduate students. such recruitment

programs should provide for ensuring that
the University is properly serving the
Commonwealth's minorities."

THE WORDING COULD possibly
connote minority students were being put
on a lower level than “superior" students,
Peters said. He asked the council for
suggestions.

Dr. Sydney Ulmer, political science
professor, said Section Four should be
broken into two parts »— one dealing with
“highly capable" students and the other
with minority students.

"By using the word superior you’re
leaving out a lot of students who are
capable,“ Ulmer said. “A student may not
meet all the stated criteria yet may be
capable of completing work in the school."

THE SECTION WAS Challenged by Dr.
Stephen Diachun, plant pathology
professor. who said the University should
recruit the most capable student regar-
dless of race. religion or sex.

“Does this mean we are going to
dLscriminate against capable majority
students"" Diachun asked. “Does this
mean we are going to recruit people on the
basis of the color of their eyes or because
they are l’kranian'.’ Do we want some
dumb Ukranians'.“

Diachun said it was part of the Council‘s
duty to “say what the guidelines mean"
and if it intends to restrict more capable
“majority" students in tavor of minority
students. it should say so.

Correspondence courses flunk senate test

It has been a long held belief in colleges that
taking correspondence courses is an easy way to
get academic credit. This seems to be the un-
derlying rationale in ‘the University Senate‘s
decision of Feb. 10 to retain the distinction
between correspondence‘courses and regular
courses taken on campus.

There are two areas where correspondence
courses are by implication considered inferior to
“regular" courses. One rule states that 30 of a
student's last 36 credits (before .raduation)
must be taken on campus or throu; 'l extension
courses. Another rule says that a student
considered for academic honors cannot include
grades from correspondence courses in their
gradepoint average.

The traditionalist view that correspondence
courses are not of the same quality as those
given on campus has been bred by many
assumptions. Correspondence courses are not
taken on campus in front of a professor who can
immediately evaluate student work. Also, it is
argued. there is the increased opportunity for

Letters to the editor

cheating and grades seem to be unusually high
among students taking correspondence couises.

The problem we are reallv dealing with is one
of academic quality. It would be absurd to say
that simply because a course is taken on campus
in front of a live (and sometimes not so live)
professor it is therefore of a higher quality. Most
of us sometime during our matriculation have
come to realize that not all truly meaningful
learning experiences take place in a classroom.
As a matter of fact. not many of them do.

There is no real evidence of any mass cheating
in correspondence courses. The opportunity to
cheat is always available to the enterprising
student. As for the unusually high grades
among students taking correspondence courses.
most students who find themselves doing poorly
in correspondence work tend to drop the course.
in which case no grade is recorded.

l'nfortunately. one of the basic problems with
correspondence courses is that many students
and administrators have failed to take them
seriously. viewing them simply as an easy was

out. Perhaps this could be alleviated by tran~
sferring responsibility for loriiiulating and
overseeing cori‘espondeiice courses to the
colleges and departments under whose
jurisdiction they should rightfully fall, In this
manner deans and deimrtmental chairmen
would have direct contact with the programs and
students enrolled in such programs.

For too long corresptiiideiice courses have
been looked down tipoii as second—rate
educational devices There are no valid facts to
support such beliefs. t‘ertaiiily efforts will and
must be made in the future to remove such
prejudicial distinctions from correspoiidence
couises. When such attempts come we hope that
the l‘niversity Senate will be more receptive to
such progressive change

There is no way that a university can
guarantee educational quality llut one way to
ensure that correspoiidence courses will not be
continually upgraded is to maintain the
assumption that quality education is determined
by physical proximity to a professor or
classroom

 

Actually. this is directed to
Luther Langsdon. re: his article
entitled “First Annual Gregarian
Day to celebrate humanity."
Luther, my brother. may I
suggest that your article was
nothing but idealistic trash? That
as soon as people quit laughing at
you or pitying you for your
naivete, they will forget. or
rather ignore you and the ideas
you presented.

lwill even go further — I will
bet you a dinner, complete with
wine or whatever, at a restaurant
of your choice, that you receive
less than 20 responses to your
article.

You see, my dear boy, people

aren’t interested in being happy.
or making others happy. They
aren’t interested in trusting, or
loving, or even caring for other
people. Ayn Rand and other idiots
of her ilk have won the day, and
we are faced with a universal
epidemic of a very special and
terrifying disease —~ that of the
total loss of our potential for
being human. Logical Ob-
jectivism is the name of the
game, and despite the (strangely
enough) logical flaws in this
insidious system, and despite its
repression of our more human
faculties, its the only game in
town.
Don‘t you see, brother Luther,
that in order to survive these
days we must of necessity
destroy our emotional response,
ignore our intuitive response and
never, ever admit that we have
bodies with needs that go beyond
food and drink. Those things that
make us vulnerable to the vulture
qualities of our world, such as
hope, faith, love, trust and simple
caring went the way of the hip-
pies, relegated to the refuse piles
of human garbage.

Grow up, Luther. In order to
survive, you must first destroy
youiself and those around you.
and be reborn in the more ob-
jective, intellectual world Of

automaton. Never offer yourself.
never open up. and for Ford's
sake, never. ever allow your
human vulnerability to show. or
the world will pick your bones.
Remain aloof, assert your in-
dividuality; you are the only
important person around. and
damn the rest.

Remember. my pitiful and
whimpering child. they go for the
heart first.

Getting in strep with the throat culture

By BARBARA IIALKER

About 80 per cent of all sore
throats are caused by viral in-
fections or irritations from
smoking, coughing. shouting or
post-nasal drainage.

Symptoms that may ac-
company a sore throat are: a
runny or stuffy nose. fever.
headache, enlarged glands at the
angle of the jaw and generalized
aches and pains.

ANTIBIOTICS are not
prescribed for viral sore throats.
Viruses are small particles which
live only within living cells. They
are much smaller than bacteria
and they cannot be killed by
drugs because any medicine
strong enough to kill them would
also kill the body cells. Viruses
are eventually killed by your own
body‘s defense mechanisms, so
anything you can do to take care
of yourself will help shorten the
illness.

However, some sore throats
are caused by bacteria such as
streptococci. pneumococci or C.
(liphtheriae. Bacterial infections
of tin “strep“ type (Group A.

beta hemolytic streptococcus)
require antibiotics for proper
treatment.

There are. three warning
signals that may indicate strep
throat: exudate (yellow pustules
on the throat), lymph node
enlargement (glands at the angle
of the jaw and along the front of
the neck) and fever greater than
101 degrees. These symptoms
may also be present with viral
infections but are more common
with strep infections.

Tllli DIAGNOSIS of strep
throat is made after a throat
culture is obtained and sent to the
labtratory. It takes 48 hours to
grow the bacteria on a culture
plate, and only then is it known
whether it is positive or negative.
If streptococcus is present, it
should be treated with antibiotics
for ten days.

Most patients with "strep
throat" or strep tonsillitis will
feel much better after two or
three days of treatment and
sometimes they stop their an-
tibiotics too soon. Remember
they are not prescribed just to
make you feel better. They are

prescribed because strep-
tococcus can. in some cases.
produce rheumatic fever and
rheumatic heart disease This
does not happen often. but when it
does it can be serious You can
prevent this complication, if you
havea streptococcal infection. by
taking the antibiotics regularly
for 10 days.

What you can do for your sore
throat; (iaigling with a germ—
killing compound cannot prevent
sore throats or make them less
severe However, gargling with
hot salt water every two hours
relieves the local pain and
cleanses off the mucous. Simply
mix one-half teaspoon of salt with
a full glass of warm water.
Another simple way to soothe
your throat is by sucking on hard
candy. Drink frequent sips of hot
liquids 7— they maintain the
mucous blanket that cleans your
respiratory tract, replace fluids
lost by fever-induced sweating,
and help reduce fever. Tea,
lemonade and juices are
recommended.

 Veteran education

Outreach program offers counseling, tutoring

By MINDY FETTERMAN
Kernel Staff Writer

Counseling, tutoring, and re-
ferral services are available to
veterans returning to school
through the Veterans Outreach
Program.

“We help vets who just want to
get some straight information
about their G.l. benefits and the
educational options available to
them," said Dan Seaver, Vet-
erans Outreach coordinator.

THE PROSPECT OF returning
to school after about five years is
a frightening one, Seaver said.
“We don't present a threatening
atmosphere. We‘re sort of neu-
tral ground in an impersonal
institution." Seaver said.

The average vet is between 22
and 28 years old and must meet
the same admission
requirements as other students.
Many must take a high school
equivalency test before entering
the l'mversity. Seavers said.

"Most vets are afraid that they
won‘t be able to cut it in college."
Seaver said. “They've been out of
school for a while and are afraid
they've lost their study skills. Our
jlll) is to give them confidence."

learning study skills. “Our con—
cern is that they succeed in
college,“ Seaver said. “It's all a
matter of knowing the ropes."

Despite their fears, the vast
majority of veterans turn out to
be better students than others,
Seaver said. “They are more
mature, goal oriented, and moti-
vated than students who are
straight out of high school,” he
said.

Besides counseling and tutor-
ing veterans in school, Outreach
provides information to veterans
in 35 central Kentucky counties.
"We give advice on veteran
benefits. how to use them and
who offers Veterans Administra-
tion approved programs in what
counties." Seaver said.

"MANY VETERANS believe
that the government provides
money for tuition, books, and
living expenses. This is a mis-
take," Seaver said. “They only
give financial aid to the veteran."

By advertising in central Ken-
tucky. Outreach hopes to provide
guidelines for veterans. “Most
vets are looking for direction.“
Seaver said. “There is a lot of
incorrect information out that is
keeping vets from taking advan~

tage of the opportunities the
government provides.”
Disabled veterans, their child-
ren and wives, and widows of
veterans are also eligible for
government aid in education.

OUTREACH IS FUNDED by
the Department of Health, Ed-
ucation and Welfare (HEW) on
the basis of increasing veteran
enrollment. HEW grants
increase with additional veteran
enrollment. Because 10 per cent
of the UK student population are
veterans, Outreach does not need
to recruit for the University,
Seaver said.

“We don‘t have to hassel the
vets into coming to UK.“ Seaver
said. “We can give them unpre-
judiced advice."

Many veterans are interested
in a two-year vocational program
such as those offered at Lexing-
ton Technical lnstitute. “They
can't afford to waste four years in
school because they are already
older than most graduating sen-
iors,“ Seaver said.

"Every vet is different. He has
different needs and goals," Sea-
ver said. “It’s just too bad that
services similar to Outreach
can‘t be provided for other
students."
