University offices provide aid

for off-campus housing seekers

By (‘HAS MAIN
Kernel Reporter

It is estimated that over 15,000 UK
students rent on the city housing
market. Housing availability in
Lexington is tight and the competi-
tion for the available space is heavy.

In addition, some of the housing
available is substandard To help
cope with these problems. two
offices have been created at the
University in recent years.

The Office of Off-Campus Hous-
ing. in Patterson Office Tower. is
part of the Assistant Dean of
Students Office. Headed by Assist-
ant Dean Anna Bolling. the office
provides a list of housing available
off campus, which it revises and
updates every two weeks.

“What we mainly do is provide the
list. based on policies which we set
down —- our only real policy is that a
landlord cannot discriminate by
race or color. While we are not
required to do anything more, we do
feel a sense of responsibility to
students and will, if asked to. try and
go that extra step to help out,"
Bolling said.

The procedure used to compile the
list is simple: A landlord may
contact the University that he or she
has housing available for UK stu-
dents, and ()ff»(.‘anipus Housing will
send him or her a listing form.

On that form. the landlord must

Student voter registration ends on

SG and Young Democrats want it

By KIM YELTON
Kernel Sta ff Writer

Students who want to register to
vote in this year‘s presidential
election, will have to goto the county
clerk‘s office to do it because there
will be no registration booths this
fall on campus.

The Young Democrats, who were

list all costs to the tenant, a
description of the unit and any rules
or unusual requests that he or she
might have for tenants.

If the landlord‘s listing does not
violate the discrimination policy, his
or her unit is added to the list. The
student is then responsible for his or
her own negotiations with the
landlord.

“We do keep a complaint file on
local landlords." Bolling said. “Any
student who wishes to register a
complaint about the conditions of a
certain property, or about unfair
treatment from a landlord, may
come to our office. Before including
the complaint in our file. however,
we now contact the landlord in
question and give him an opportun-
ity to reply. Upon receiving a reply
from the landlord. both the com-
plaint and the reply are placed on
file here in my office."

The complaint file is available for
public review in her office, Bolling
said. She added that very few
students have taken advantage of
the complaint service and only two
landlords who use the listing service
have had complaints filed against
them.

"We can provide information for
students. we can give them advice,
but we can‘t do their work for them.

During those two days 100 people

English, a member of Young
Democrats.

available is to get organized,”
Bolling said.

“Admittedly, some people do get
into this buisness for profit. They
realize that the student housing
market is tight, and they will price
their units as high as the student can
bear. As long as students continue to
pay $200 for one— and two-room
apartments, the landlords are going
to think that this is what they
(students) can bear.”

Many students have complained of
considerable difficulty with certain
landlords, according to Mark Kleck-
ner, Student Government’s (SG)
legal representative for housing
problems. Kleckner said his office
takes two to three complaints each
day from disgruntled student
tenants.

“Most of the problems we hear
about are related to security de-
posits," Kleckner said. He added
that two landlords who regularly list
with the Off-Campus Housing Office
are “notorious for not returning
security deposits.”

The landlords to whom Kleckner
referred are the Graves brothers. In
the current list, the brothers have no
less than 15 listings. These apart-
ments range in price from $157 for a
one-room efficiency to $545 for a
seven-room apartment. There is a
standard deposit of $100 per occu-
pant for all units.

English said, but Baesler had to
have the applications in his office.
The cards are sent to Frankfort and
processed through a computer.
“Unless the cards are correct when
they are sent to Frankfort, they are
sent back (to the clerk's office)” for
corrections and this takes time,
English explained.

Student Government (SG) wanted

swing in Woodland Park. Bratt is five years old and
a first-grader at Glendover Elementary School.

“We have had quite a few cases
where the Graves brothers people
did not return deposits to tenants,"
Kleckner said. In Bolling’s com-
plaint file, there are no specific
complaints from students about
security deposits. There is, however,
a long letter from the Graves office
in response to criticism, which
includes several favorable state-
ments from former tenants to the
effect that “...I had no problem with
having my deposit returned on
time.”

Kleckner said if a student has
problems with his or her landlord, he
or she should call the SG office and
ask for an appointment with
Kleckner.

“Since I don‘t have a law degree,
my services are limited to counsel-
ing. I have put in enough hours on
this, though, that I can be of service;
I have gone as far as actually
writing letters to landlords for
students.

“I generally advise a tenant of his
options and help them decide what to
do. In many cases, I find that the
tenants just do not know the law or
their rights."

Both SG and the assistant dean's
office have free literature available
which can help educate students as
to their rights under the new
Landlord-Tenant law.

to sponsor a registration booth,
according to Jim Newberry, SG
senator and chairman of the SG
Political Affairs Committee. “We
were looking for a way to be of
service to students,” he said, “so we
decided to sponsor voter
registration.

When Newberry contacted the
clerk’s office, however, Baesler told
him he could not spare the deputies
to help at their booths, a
requirement during registration.
Baesler said he needed them to
correct cards his office had already
received, according to Newberry.

The only other alternative SG had
was to sign out numbered ballots. SG
would then be responsible to return
each one whether or not the ballots
were used. Their efforts, however,
came too late to meet Tuesday’s
deadline.

“I wish he (Baesler) would ap-
point a deputy permanently to
register people at UK," Newberry
said

Asked about that possibility,
Baesler said, “I would be open to
that. But I need all the deputies now
to work" in the office.

Last year 86 sponsored voter
registration booths for the fall and
spring semesters. At that time 307
people registered, Newberry said.

“The spring was worse. They (the
deputies) came on the Friday before
Eastern vacation so you can

Trustees Board approves three construction projects totaling $3.8 million

The UK Board of Trustees yester-
day approved three construction
projects for submission to the Coun-
cil on Public Higher Education
tCPHE).

The proposed projects — altera-
tions to McVey Hall and Taylor
Education Building, and boiler re-
placement at the central campus
steam heating plant —~ will now be
forwarded to the CPHE where final

authority rests.

Estimated cost of the McVey Hall
project is $766,000. which would be
obtained from non-recurring reno
vation dollars in the 1975-76 and
1976-77 operating budgets. Accord-
ing to UK President Dr. Otis A.
Singletary‘s report to the board,
“The purpose of this project is to
upgrade the facility to meet current
building standards and codes, to
provide more adequately equipped

classrooms and office space, to
provide suitable means of access for
the physically handicapped, to meet
safety codes and to upgrade the
mechanical and electrical
systems.“

Alterations to the Taylor Educa-
tion Building, which was built in
1929, would cost an estimated
$602,000 and be financed in the same
way as the McVey Hall project. This

project's purpose, according to Sing-
letary's report. is also similar to the
McVey Hall project.

Estimated cost of replacing boi-
lers at the central campus steam
heating plant is $2.5 million. Single-
tary‘s report states that the existing
boilers. which were built in I950.
were not designed to comply with
present air pollution standards.

Recommendations from the Nom-

inating Committee for board officers
also were approved. William B.
Sturgill. of Lexington. retained his
position as chairman; Albert G.
Clay of Mt. Sterling, as vice chair-
man; Dr. Paul Sears. chemistry
professor. as secretary; and Betty
Carol Clark. of Glasgow. as assist-
ant secretary.

In other action. the board estab
lished the Jefferson (‘ommunitv

College Public Safety Division. Sing—

letary‘s report states. “It is envi~
sioned that the Jefferson Commun-
ity (‘ollege Public Safety Division
will continue. as in the past. to seek
advice and assistance from the
University‘s Public Safety Division
when the need arises. However. it is
felt that the officers on that campus
should continue under the adminis-
trative control of the Community
t‘ollege Director."

The political pot may begin boiling in the
confines of UK Student Government as a result
of an amendment passed overwhelmingly

Monday night.

pot

The amendment calls for reform of the SG

Judicial Board, which handles disputes within

SG. Under provisions of the bill, five students
will serve on the board for the duration of their

student life.

Two members are selected by the senate, two
are chosen by the president and one, the Chief
Justice, will be selected by the senate and the

president.

Formerly, the Judicial Board consisted of
students chosen randomly —to avoid biased
selections. Since the board was largely inactive,
it didn't matter that members were not serving

student-life terms.

But the Judicial Board is likely to be more

active this year. Sen. Marion Wade is already
challenging one of SG‘s first actions, a fiscal

responsibility bill passed Sept. 7.

Herein lies the potential problem.

The bill provides for stricter accounting in
granting SG funds to organizations. Wade is
protesting the bill on constitutional grounds.

linaginetrying to carry 18,000 copies
of the Kernel on a wobbly push cart.

Recently, it‘s been more of a pain
than usual; nobody has wanted the
delivery job. It got so bad that one
day all the editors had to get out of
bed shortly after daybreak and
deliver the papers. Never again.

As a result of the paucity of cir-
culation people, the Kernel has been
noticeably absent from some of the
more distant University buildings.

Unfortunately, or maybe it’s
fortunate, several people have
noticed the missing Kernels and
have called the newsroom to com-
plain. Although we were glad to
know that some people missed us,
there wasn‘t much we could say.

After taking calls from angry
readers for a week, we finally
started offering the circulation job
to anybody who called to complain,
but there weren‘t any takers.

This week we found someone to
take the job, so now the Kernel
should be delivered everywhere on
campus. And since we've
straightened out the campus
delivery, we've decided to expand
circulation area beyond campus.

Several local establishments have
expressed interest in receiving the
Kernel regularly. If this tentative
move off campus meets with general
public approval, we plan on ex-
panding off campus deliveries.

As circulation increases, it’s very
probably that total advertising will
increase. And if advertising in-
creases, we may increase revenue to
the point where we can hire all the
circulation people we would never
need.

In addition to increasing our
circulation, there are a couple of
new items which will appear in
future Kernels. We are now running
the day’s weather on the front page.

Also the perspective column will
now run weekly, not bi-weekly.

Debates unfair

the equal time provision for all

the League of Women Voters will
reconsider breaking their long

We feel the argument that there
aretoo many people running to have
them all included is an attempt to
evade the responsibility to have
views presented. The presidential
elections are a very important op-
portunity for a party to present its
views and we feel this democratic
right far outwighs the inconvenience

personalities. Each week will
feature a different author whom the
Kernel feels has something in-
teresting or unusual to say.

We received a letter (see today's
Letters) this week from an irate
student participating in the Student
Government note-taking project.
She complained that a Kernel
reporter used information given in
confidence.

Our writer used information this '
person gave her to contact a source.
The writer, however. did not quote
the note—taker, but used the in-
formation to locate another source.

This technique is compatible with
jourmlism ethics. Reporters off-the-

pursue a story.

Obviously, a reporter cannot quote

NY Times News Service
By DAVID W. l‘lllRENFl‘IlJ)

NEW BRI‘NSWK'K, NJ. -I am
one of several professors who teach
ecology at (‘ook (.‘ollege, a part of
Rutgers I'niversity. The in-
troductory course is a popular one.
with an enrollment of 300 students —
a foundation course for many of our
undergraduate programs. For this

commentary
reason, it is always embarrassing to
me when our students, whose tuition
was just raised, ask me why our
facilities aren‘t as good as those they
were accustomed to in high school.

So last year we began to complain.
via the labyrinthine channels
available for such purposes, to our
university's central administration.
Soon (about two and one-half months
latert a nice little man came all the
way from "downtown" to see us. He
had been sent by the Office of
L'niversity Studies. We told him our
tale of woe. and he was gratifyingly
sympathetic. By the time we
finished showing him our minuscule.
subterranean and archaic
labrratory. which we had cleverly
saved for last. he was almost in
tears.

“Do you think his report will be
favorable?" I later asked Jim Ap
plegate, the other professor who had
been with us.

“Sure," he replied

“And what will happen?"

 

 

“Nothing. of course."

And then the same idea occurred
to both of us simultaneously. If only
we had that nice bureaucrat‘s
salary? We would have the best-
funded ecology courses in the East,
with enough money left over to bring
the botany teaching laboratories
almost up to junior-college stan-
dards.

Since the visit, which indeed
resulted in nothing, I have thought
abort it a good deal. In the mean-
time, I have watched the chairman
of one of our departments smuggle
his state vehicles out to a local gas
station to be winterized. because our
university maintenance division, up
to its neck in administrative red
tape, charged his account a $15
“labor“ fee to install a quarrt of
antifreeze.

I have found out that there is
another set of administrators part of
whose remarkable job it seems to be
to guess (for Federal ad-
ministrators) the race and color of
each job applicant to the university.
on the basis of such revealing in-
formation as their names. And there
is always that wonderful ad-
ministrator, a vice president I
believe. who sends to every person
who has had an accident in a
university car a pamphlet ex-
plaining how not to have any more
accidents.

This administrative glut is not
confined to universities. A recent

newspaper article noted that as the
Metropolitan Transportation
Authority ridership declines the
number of administrators in high-
paying positions is holding steady or
increasing. In a similar spirit, the
State Department has appointed a
coordinator of consumer affairs. at
$7.800 per year. I also suspect. but
cannot prove. thatsimilar things are
happening in business and industry.
and that inflationary price increases
are only one of the consequences

The predicament, of course, is not
a new one, or (‘harles Dickens would
never have written so mordantly of
the great “Circumlocution Office"
and "How Not To Do It." and (Y
Northcote Parkinson would never
have published his terrifying Law.
What is new is that we have finally
reached the limit: There is no longer
room for both administrators and
for people who do things one of the
groups must get the axe.

Thus the problem that emerges is,
How does one get rid of excess
administrators when it is the admin-
istrators who do the hiring and
firing? In the 1973-74 annual report
of the president of Harvard Univer-
sity. Derek C. Bok stated that rather
than compromise academic pro
grams. the university had divested
itself of more than 150 surplus
central administrators by attrition
over a three-year period. The lesson
to be learned from this decision is
that there evidently can be at least
130 unnecessary administrators at a
single medium~sized private univer-
sity. (‘onsider what the numbers

tion like Rutgers!

tine can hardly turn over a flat
stone on campus without finding at
least one $35.000-a-year functionary,
secure. like a genteel viper, in its
nest of Xerox copies. But the altruis-
tic and administratively semisuicid-

 

al remedy of president Bok is rare;
more often, when the crunch comes,
as it has at Rutgers, it is junior
faculty members who are suddenly
fired and student tuitions that are
raised.

Somehow we must devise ways of
enabling the producers in the system
to exert a feedback control over the
numbers of administrators, by parti-
cipating in the hiring and firing of
administrators and by setting limits
on the number of administrative
positions.

If we don‘t, we can confidently
expect that real production and
services will fall to zero about the
time that the administrative mass
reaches infinity; and ever meaner
times will be ahead for those of us
who want to do useful work.

ethics prevailed in journalism.
Without expecting her to be another
Daniel Scha‘r, I did anticipate that
she would conform to my wishes for
confidentiality.

She called me at my residence
about an article on the note-taking
project. I declined to make any
comment on the project and ex-
plained to her that I just asked my
instructor, Dr. Christopher, for his
permission and was waiting for his
answer..l also insisted she not use, in
any manner, this information or my
name.

She proceeded anyhow. Not only
did she contact my instructor after
getting his name from me, but also
used my name by making it a
reference when she reached him.
Her action is that of an abusive and
unqualified writer.

Her action caused me a great deal
of embarrassment and could have
been damaging as well, if my in-
structor was not an understanding
man. I would only hope that the
Kernel does not have more of her
kind in its staff.

You may wonder why I am being
so harsh on a fellow student. After
all, we all make mistakes. This is
why I made efforts to reach her. We
had a telephone conversation during
which I tried to explain my
grievances to her.

This “member of the press” as she
calls herself said: “I am sorry, butl
had a story to do and a deadline to
meet; it is my job." She would not
consider seeing my instructor and
clarifying the situation because “it
is against my principles" she
declared, as if she had any in the
first place.

about the ills of UK, and trying to
provide some remedies. However, I
would like to pause to pass along
some thanks.

First, to the UK police. Although
more stringent control would please
me, I feel they have exerted a
greater effort this semester on

know, and Kent County GOP
Chairman Paul Henry said:

“We have no idea what they
are looking for but we hope to
get it over quickly and get a
clean bill of health.”

In response to questions,
Nessen also said that Ford
accepted free golf outings
from a US. Steel Corp.
lobbyist at a New Jersey
Country Club between 1964
and 1971 when Ford was a
congressman.

“If the President thought
there was anything wrong, he
wouldn’t have done it,"
Nessen said.

Nessen was asked about the
outings after columnist Jack
Anderson said William
Whyte, now a vice president
of US. Steel, was Ford‘s host
at the Pine Valley Golf Club
near Clementon, N.HJ.,
between 1964 and 1971.

Anderson quoted Whyte as
saying legislation was not
discused on the links. The
columnist reported that
Whyte described the course
as one of the toughest in the
country and said he thought
Ford would enjoy the
challenge.

Reached by telephone.
Whyte said his family and the
Ford family have been
friends for many years, that
he and Ford have been
golfing together for a long

time and that he did not think
he had done anything wrong.

Bubble boy receives a new space suit

HOUSTON [AP] — David,
who turned five Tuesday, will
soon become an astronaut on
his own planet, wearing a
specially-designed space suit
to explore an earth environ-
ment as alien and harmful to
him as outer space.

David has not felt the touch
of human hand since he was
born.

His life has been one of
isolation in a plastic bubble in
a room at the Texas Child-
ren’s Hospital in Houston and
another bubble at his home in
a Houston suburb.

He is the victim of a
sickness called severe com-
bined immune deficiency——an
inherited disorder that
strikes one in every 10.000
males. His body has no

natural defenses and the sim~
plest of germs in earth‘s
environment could kill him.

His new suit. a by-product
of the technology that put
