EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is the first of a three-pa-rt
scries discussing what has been commonly called
the "publish or perish" policy and its relation to UK.
Does it exist here? To what extent is it operable? How
much money arc the academicians at the University
really making and how docs the figure compare with
other campuses? The first article attempts an examination of "the policy."
By DOTTIE DEAN
Kernel Staff Writer
"Publish or perish" at the University of Kentucky
may be perishing if, indeed, it ever really flourished.
Publish or perish is a policy which exists or at
least the notion of it exists at many large universities
and colleges. It is the system whereby faculty must
publish a minimum amount of material in order to be
Judged for promotions, raises, tenure and, often, even
retention. And it is a policy which many students

feel takes teachers away from their primary functioning as instructors and gives them less time to devote
to the students on a personal level.
There has been a great deal of speculation as to
whether the system carries any weight at the University.
According to Dr. A.D. Albright, executive vice prev
ident, the program whereby faculty are judged for promotions and raises was implemented under the administration of former President John VV. Oswald. It is a
program which evaluates faculty on three levels teaching, service and research.
These three levels, says Dr. Albright, are what a
university is all about as opposed to a college.
"The functions of a university," Dr. Albright said,
"Include not only teaching but also both internal
and external service and research. However, the im

The publish or perish policy is mainly relevant to
the area of research.

Corridor Advisers 'Implicated9
In Haggin Hall Disturbances
By DAVID WILSON

Kernel Staff Writer
A source told the Kernel Tuesday night that several corridor
advisers have been implicated
in the Monday disorders at Hag-gi- n
Hall.
The source said the corridor
advisers are being charged with
failure to enforce dormitory regulations against students who participated in the disturbance two
nights ago.
He said accusations were
placed against four corridor advisers when it was learned they
were "sympathetic to the stu-

dents."

The Haggin Hall disorders
began when fireworks and, reportedly, four Molotov cocktails
were tossed out of students windows. Bottles and cans were
thrown into the courtyard and
a large trash container was set
afire before the disturbance
evolved into a panty raid.

Dempsey, Hutchinson Outline Plans

University 'To Redesignate'All Parking Areas
By STONEY FRANKLIN

Kernel Staff Writer
In the wake of the parking
permit extensions and the seeming chaos surrounding University parking facilities, the College of Engineering and the Safety and Security Department are

attempting to bring the overall
problem into focus for the University students and faculty.
Dr. John Hutchinson, professor in the College of Engineering and Col. F. G. Dempsey,
chief of Safety and Security, presented a detailed report of the

parking dilemma from the engineering aspect to the Agricultural
Science College faculty Monday
afternoon.
The report included plans for
the "redesignation" of all campus parking areas this summer.
The "redesignation process" will
move practically all "A" parking
onto the main campus, dissolving
existing "B" areas in the process. The more decent ralized "C"
areas will be redesignated as "B"
areas and student "C" parking
areas will be essentially relocated
on Cooper Drive.
Included in the report also
were reasons for the parking congestion, long range plans for
alleviating the problem and "the
most appropriate and practical
methods" for faculty and students to deal with the situation
until it is improved.
"We are not going to have
a sprawling midwestem campus," Dr. Hutchinson indicated,

high-ris- e

He pointed out that within
8 to 15 years the University would
virtually have reached this"high-rise- "
phase, and that there will
"barely be room to walk and
ride bicycles."
For a system to induce the
"circulation of parking" the Uni

versity will have to"stage" everything so that it "all fits," Hutchinson said.
The basic tools for an effective system lie within the utilis,
zation of streets, sidewalks,
shuttle buses, parking
structures, meter and private
spaces, and access roads to all
of these, he said.
Other campuses such as Michigan State and Indiana Universis
ties have managed to utilize
and bus systems to better
serve the campus needs, he said.
UK would need at least twice
the present number of buses to
serve a "high-rise- "
campus and
additional bikeways and racks
to offset the decentralized parking facilities, Hutchinson said.
A 1965 survey showed that at
least 22 percent of the total campus population would ride bicycles if the facilities were made
available. The University has 500
bike racks in storage now, which
cannot be utilized until proper
facilities are constructed, Hutchinson said.
The University is now in the
process of completing two parking structures at an estimated
cost of $3.8 million, and a "utilization plan" has been developed
indicating the access roads and

31, 1969 have been extended to May 16, 1969, President Kirwan's
office has disclosed. During the interim either the current valid

permits or the new 1969 permits will be honored.
Effective immediately graduate assistants who teach and are
fully responsible for two or more classroom hours a week will be
eligible for "B" permits upon application. Graduate students not
teaching two or more hours a week will be eligible for "C" permits.
Research assistants may be issued a "B" permit in special circumstances. For example, if a research project requires a specific
work schedule during the hours of 8 a.m.-- 5 p.m., the research assistant would be considered eligible for a "B" permit.
Certification of the eligibility of. graduate assistants for "B"
permits will be made by the college of deans.
Members of the faculty and staff who have not submitted
applications for the 1969 permits and who desire to participate in
the program are encouraged by the President's office to submit
the application as soon as possible.

1990.

He added that the University
has a "worse problem now than
we predicted for 1971."
Dr. Hutchinson emphasized
that the success of the parking
structures' access raids will probably be dictated by the first
intersection you come to. If the
rate of traffic flow is already
strangled then these intersections
would breed chronic traffic congestion which would only lead
the motorist in circles rather than
dispelling his anxieties.
In order to systematically prepare for such a development, the
University must "keep parking
'decentralized' to prevent congestion," Dr. Hutchinson said.
He added that a possible solution would be to stagger University working hours from 8 to 5
and from 9 to 6 p.m.
Therefore by "doubling peak
hour traffic, you quadruple the
maximum allowable population"
on the city's thoroughfares.
Col. Dempsey emphasized
this indicating that temporary
parking facilities are desperately
needed. He said that in order for
the decentralization of parking
to function efficiently the access
facilities have to be working.
The decentralization idea was
recommended two or three years
ago, but Col. Dempsey felt that
this should be "updated."
One of the major parking
structures is due for completion
May 1, 1969, but the "elephant"
will just sit there until the access
roads can be utilized, which isn't
expected before July, Dempsey
said.
With both parking structures
scheduled for functional services
by Sept. 1969, the University
can expect the designated parking
allocations across campus to facilitate some 7800 vehicles, he
said.
To augment the structures,
Safety and Security will "redesignate" all campus parking this
summer,
It is believed that through,
the redistribution and decentralization of parking areas, less traffic congestion and more bus service utilization will result. Dr.
Hutchinson said.
For the complete campus development to function effectively.
Dr. Hutchinson said that he believed that it "has to grow as a
system, not in pieces."

Urges Individual Nonviolence First

Wendell Berry Says Americans Can't Be 'Nonviolent'

By BILL MATTHEWS

Kernel Staff Writer
'There can no longer be even
a pretense that violence makes
sense," Kentucky poet Wendell
Berry said Tuesday night, in the
last of the Nonviolent Seminars.
Speaking on the topic "Why
I
Believe in Nonviolence,"
Berry an associate professor in
the English Department-sa- id
that although there were situations in which he "would he violent," he was categorically
against policies of violence.
Berry maintained that private
violence is the model for public
violence. To eliminate major violence, he suggested, men must
eliminate violence in themselves.
Berry called violence more
than fighting "it is waste."
Berry continued, "An American couldn't be nonviolent if
he wanted to." The American
way of life is based on excess,
he claimed.
The basic question may be
"What is each man's fair

TnnAV

share?" Berry pointed out, and
until this question is answered,
he said, no one can be sure
he is nonviolent. He said research
may be able to answer the question.
Nonviolent

"
deeply enmeshed in
Berry said.
Berry also spoke of the encroachment of organizations on
personal life. Personal life is being crowded out of society as organizations replace personal virtues, he said.
The organizational mode of
life, he continued,
and
comgeneralizes
promises, adding up to overtones
of violence. Organizations lead
to specialization in which people

lie portrayed the University
administrator as a "villain"
whose biggest asset is a flashy
vocabulary and whose function

is overly
ori
ented.
Berry also criticized students
for being "passive vessels waiting to be filled with knowledge."

the consequences, he noted.
Applying this reasoning to his
own ideas, Berry warned that
peace advocates must guard
against letting "the fervor of allegiance (replace) the fervor of
love."
Berry also indicated that nonviolence was made difficult by the
American "consumer mentality"
which leads, he said, to the
thinking that anything can be
Ixnight for a price.
In reference to the University,
Berry noted that too many students and citizens regard education as a "commodity" rather
than a "state of mind."

regarding the formation of our association.
Though our past few meetings have
had from 40 to 80 grad students attending, this is not a good turnout, considering that there are over 2,000 grad
students enrolled at UK. There will be
a general meeting Wednesday night at
7:30 p.m. in Boom 213 of Kastle Hall.
Among the items on the agenda is the
election of 10
representatives to
the association's council.
The governing body of the association
consists of a council composed of representatives from each department and 10
representatives. Each department
is entitled to one representative if the
number of grad students in that department does not exceed 50 and two otherwise. If your department has not met
to elect representatives, it should attempt
to do so before Wedrrrsday night's meet
