Senate recount

results in tie

By LINDA CARNES
Kernel Staff Writer

A HECOLTNT of 15 Student Senate at-
large seats was conducted Monday night
and a tie resulted for last place.

To break the tie. Elections Board of-
ficials have decided to have a coin toss at 1
pm. today to determine the winner. There
is no provision in the SG constitution in the
case of a tie so the decision was made by
the elections officials.

Mark Kleckner. the original 14th place
finisher with 280 votes. and Tim Cun-
ningham, who tallied 278 originally, both
finished the recount with a total of 274
votes.

THE ELECTION was held Nov. 13-14 to
select 15 at-large senators. The new
senators will attend their first meeting
tonight at 7 pm. in the Student Center.
They will not be allowed to serve on the
University Senate. however.

The total changed through errors in
addition and counting of ballots, said M‘ke

Housing

contracts

difficult
to break

WITH THE approach of spring
semester. some students once again are
trying to break University housing con-
tracts. As they have found or will find, the
process is not an easy one.

It is possible to break a contract within
the limits of the contract for just four
reasons:

-—entrance into university married
housing

——withdrawal from school

—-a recommendation from the health
service

——other necessary reasons.

“OCCASIONALLY A student will
provide us with information that his
financial status has changed drastically
since he entered the University," ex-
plained Dean of Students Jack Hall. In
such cases the student may be released
from his contract.

“I would say we have in the neigh-
borhood of 35 or 40 successfully broken
contracts a year," said Hall. “Residence
halls must be maintained at a 95 per cent
occupancy rate. We started the year with
some 47 vacancies, so I don‘t see the
ability for us to make some releases.“

At mid-year the first semester is
evaluated,“ said Hall. He then predicts
how many students will withdraw or
transfer, how many will make applications
and how many will be lost during Spring
semester. all of which are fairly stable
numbers from year to year.

oWASHlNG'l‘ON — Congress moved
closer toward the confirmation of Gerald
R. Ford as vice president Monday as the
House Judiciary Committee completed its
hearings and the Senate began floor
debate.

The Senate plans to vote Tuesday af-
ternoon and the House has scheduled final
action no later than Dec. 6. with both
bodies expected to confirm Ford over-
whelmingly.

.WASIIINGTON — The Senate
Watergate committee will be asked to
suspend public hearings indefinitely to
allow more time for investigation. the
committee's chief counsel said Monday.

A statement by chief counsel Samuel
Dash attributed the proposed delay to
failure of the White House to produce
documents and reluctance of some key
officials of the Hughes Tool (‘0. to
cooperate.

“IF WE END up with a prediction that
we are going to have more than 95 per cent
occupancy. then we are in the position to

make some releases." Hall said. “I don‘t
perceive that we will have the ability to do
this."

Several years ago there was tremendous
demand for residence halls. accouring to
Hall. An occupancy level of 98.6 per cent
was reached and University housing was
in a position to release some people.

“Most of the sororities and 75 per cent of
the fraternities are houses that have been
leased and bonded and are owned by the
University. We haven't transferred to
them for the past two years. We have to
stick by the 95 per cent occupancy level."
said Hall.

WHEN ASKED why it is made so hard
for students to break contracts Hall
replied. “Let me turn the question around.
Why shouldn‘t we make it hard for a
student to break a contract? They have an
obligation for the contract. By being a
student he doesn‘t get special privileges.
We have tried to make the contract as
much a business approach as possible.

“Both parties must live by the con-
tract." he said. “We have obligated our-
selves back in spring semester to have a
room for this person. If he arrived in
August and we told him his room wouldn‘t
be ready for a couple of days. he'd be
pretty unhappy.“

Hall has the responibility for making the
final decision. “But a decision can be
taken to court if someone feels we aren‘t

he said. '

STL‘I)E.\'TS TRY different strategems
to escape their contracts. “There are some
people who refuse to report to the
residence halls at the beginning of the
semester in the hope that they will only
forfeit the 5100." said Hall.

A student who purposely breaks dorm
regulations in order to be expelled from
the dormitory will have varying luck.
Depending on the judgement of an ad-
ministrative board. he may be allowed to
stay anyway. he may forfeit all payments
for that semester. or he may receive a
refund. “Judgments are made on in-
dividual cases.” he said.

Although there is more unoccupied
housing for women than for men. Hall said
this does not effect releases. "It has no
part in the decision of whether a student is
released.”

NOR IS A release determined by the
number of vacancies in the student's
residence hall. The housing office looks
rather at the general campus occupancy
percentage.

Although most business at UK is con-
tracted on the semester basis. housing is
contracted by the year. “We can‘t budget a
semester at a time." explained Hall. "We
can‘t hire staff for just three or four
months. So everything is geared to the
year." In this way he feels that the
L'niversity can offer cheaper and better
housing for students than will be found off
campus.

The proposal will be presented by the
business and student affairs offices. said
Dean of Students Jack Hall.

K.‘
Day care deserves help

With one sweep of the hand, the state’s Council on Public
Higher Education, several weeks ago, did away with 14
priority programs outlined by the University in its biennial
budget. Among these was a much needed day care
program.

And although it was ranked 12th on the list of priorities,
support of this program has grown noticeably since the fall
of 1972. From last year‘s offer of $25,000 toward a program
to its October budget request of $95,400 for the biennium, the
University has upped its endorsement of a day care center.
On paper anyway.

With the Council‘s decision, however, UK‘s efforts have
proved futile and support must now come in other fashions.

 

The Council only made a recommendation to legislature;
both the law making body and the governor can rein-
corporate funds for a center in the next legislative session
as Kernel staff writer Susan Jones notes on today’s “Page
111.“

Two examples of benefits from a UK day care program
are:

Many women would be freed from the daily grind of
caring for children and could continue their education or
work;

University personnel, specifically students interested
in working in preschool areas, could operate a center
without pay, instead receiving credit. These people. while
providing a service to families of the University community
would also be sufficiently prepared to give children an
adequate pre-school education.

Many more rewards can be found in a UK day care
program. A strong commitment now from the University,
other groups and individuals willing to lobby in the
legislature for day care is important if the project is to stay

Seven-year rule

In reporting the AAUP chapter meeting
last Wednesday, the Kernel correctly
stated that the “Krislov report" advocated
a relaxation of “the seven-year rule for
gaining tenure.” However it should be
pointed out that the only relaxation it
proposes is in the way previous service at
other universities is counted.

Of course the seven-year rule refers to
the maximum period of probation: After
seven years the probationer must be
promoted to tenure or given adequate
notice that he will not be promoted. In
counting these years, previous full-time
professional service at other universities
must be included. The Krislov report
proposes that these years of service be
examined to determine whether the in-
stitution had similar promotion standards.
gave adequate time to permit research
activity. etc.-in short whether the in-
stitution has comparable standards and
expectations. Where that is not the case
those years may be subtracted in counting
prior service. The report also provides
that such review be under faculty scrutiny.

I feel this clarification is necessary lest
it be thought that AAUP is abandoning one
of its first principles.

Donations prove beneficial

By GLORIA BOWKER
and
JEAN (‘OX

Students who give a pint of blood during
the Student Donor Drive which begins
tomorrow. Nov. 28. help themselves, their
friends and families, their fellow students
and the community.

The Student Health Organization and the
Student Health Advisory Committee are
sponsoring the UK Student Blood Donor
Plan. The plan insures that a student who
donates a pint of blood during the drive can
get any blood that he or she would need for
a year. At the time of the donation the
student designates four other people
(family or friends) who will also be
covered for any blood that they would need
for a year. In addition, the Central Ken-
tucky Blood Center has agreed to insure
the blood needs of the entire UK student
body as long as 10 per cent of students
donate blood during the school year. The
quota for the first drawing tomorrow, in
Room 206 of the Student Center, from 10
am. to,5 pm. is 100 pints. There will be
additional blood drawings g.‘ different
locations over the next few months. Each
drawing will haven quota and if the quota
is met each time, or wnthin 30 days after a
scheduled drawing. the coverage for all
UK students is guaranteed. Students who
miss the drawings on campus can par-

ticipate in the program by identifying
themselves as UK students at the Central
Kentucky Blood Center, a non-profit
organization sponsored by the Fayette
County Medical Society. The Center is
located below the Pancake House
Restaurant on South Limestone Street.

If the quota of approximately 2,000
donors over a year’s period is not reached,
the individual donor is still covered for a
year, as are the four people designated by
the student.

QL'ESTION: Why are blood donations
important?

ANSWER: There’s a growing need for
blood throughout the country. Over 18,000
pints of blood are used in transfusions
daily in the United States. Many of the
remarkable new surgical procedures that
are saving so many lives require enor-
mous quantities of blood. Life prolonging
procedures for leukemic patients require
fresh blood. Accident victims often require
transfusions of blood immediately. Even
more routine procedures such as ton-
sillectomies, appendectomies, deliveries
etc. require blood supplies on stand-by.

There has been a very recent example of
the benefit to a UK student who joined the
Blood Donor Plan in early October. A
month later her mother in Louisville was
hospitalized for emergency surgery. The
student called the Central Kentucky Blood

YOUI HGOlll’lJ

 

I

Center and it immediately made
arrangements for transferring blood
credits to the Louisville hospital. All the
mother’s blood needs, which were sub-
stantial, were met.

QUESTION: Don’t insurance policies
take care of blood needs?

ANSWER: Most insurance policies,
including the UK Student Blue Cross and
Blue Shield Plan, pay the cost of ad-
ministering blood, but they do not replace
or pay for the actual blood used. The
patient, or his family and friends, must
repay the amount of blood used with fresh
blood, or be charged for every pint used. In
these cases the replacement of the blood is
far more important than money to the
hospitals.

QUESTION: I’m sort of hesitant. What’s
involved in giving blood?

ANSWER: The blood is drawn by highly
trained specialists from the Blood Center.
A first time donor may experience some
apprehension but there is very little
discomfort or after effect. The whole
procedure takes about 45 minutes in-
cluding time afterwards to rest and have a
snack. ~

QUESTION: What are the general
donor requirements?

ANSWER: A donor must be in good
health and not under the care of a doctor.
Anyone between the ages of 18 and 65 is

eligible; a weight minimum is 110 pounds.
A donor should maintain his normal eating
habits.

Donors must be off all antibiotics for two
weeks prior to donating blood. Medication.
including aspirin, bufferin, etc., should not
be taken for 24 hours before donating;
however, people taking vitamins or birth
control pillscan still donate. Temporary
rejections will be made for recent
pregnancy, major surgery, colds, flu, or
allergies in acute stages, (free of all
symptoms such as sneezing, fever, and
coughing two weeks before donating).

QUESTION: How can I get involved?

ANSWER: The first drawing date is
Wednesday, Nov. 28. Blood mobiles will be
available in the Student Center, Room 206.
from 10 am. to 5 pm. Watch the bulletin
boards and the Kernel for notice of other
times and locations. -

By SUSAN JONES

Results of a poll circulated in 1972 in-
dicated 475 families consisting of UK
faculty, students and staff would use a
campus day-care center. Eighteen months
later we still have no center.

The fight for day-care has been long and
hard. In November 1971, $25,000 was
allocated to Student Government by the
Board of Trustees for day-care. A group of
women had set up a cooperative day-care
center which needed new facilities and the
money was originally to go for its con-
tinuance.

IT WAS SOON realized much additional
funding would be needed if the University
was to have the kind of day-care it needed.
Q .ality daycare costs approximately
$1,300 per year per child. The 1972 poll
indicated there were at least 700 children
whose parents would use a campus center.

Scott Wendelsdorf, then 86 president,
refused the $25,000 as an outright gift. But
he asked that the University explore the
possibilities of setting up a day-care
facility that could serve the entire campus
community, using the original grant for
building a center.

Had Wendelsdorf accepted the money
the chances of UK acquiring a day-care
center would have been effectively killed.
The cooperative center would have
eventually folded due to a lack of funds and
the University could have easily refused

. . opinion from inside and outsidj- u ps
Universfly day care has its

any further money or effort, in the area
because of the first failure.

IN THE FALL of1972 UK agreed to hire
a Child Care Director whose duties were to
explore outside funding (federal, state and
private) and to find a suitable building to
house the facility. The director, Sylvia
Smeyak, was also to develop a program
for the daycare center. But because of-
changes in the national economic and
political situations, federal funding was
impossible. State and private money was
also unavailable.

Stricter regulations in the fire or-
dinances which govern day-care centers
were also established at this time, making
it impossible to find a building which
.would not require the investment of
thousands of dollars. The new ordinances
are almost as severe as those which
govern public school buildings.

The Child Care Center closed in Sep-
tember, only seven months after it opened.
The University‘s next move was to include
a request for $95,400 in its biennial budget
(released in October) for day-care.
Smeyak estimated it would cost $96,444
during the initial year of operation to
maintain a child care center for 60
children.

THE DAY-CARE request, however, was
eliminated from the budget by the state’s
Council on Public Higher Education. The
only hope remaining is that the governor
or the legislature will reincorporate the
money into UK‘s budget. A group of
women on campus hope to influence the
governor to include the money. However, a
project of this magnitude requires the
support of the entire campus community,
including the University itself.

It is doubtful the University truly sup-
ports the establishment of a campus day-
care center. All of its actions look very
good on paper, but do not seem substantial
when examined closely.

The appropriation of $25,000 does not
seem so large a commitment when con-
sidering the total cost of a campus day-
care center—especially if that $25,000
could be used to deaden the issue.

SETTING [P A Child Care Office did
not really represent a further monetary
commitment for the University (other
than the salary of the director and her
secretary) but it was an effort to find
another source of money for the project.

The request for $95,400 to be spread over
a two—year period certainly didn't
represent a commitment to the type of
daycare center which this campus needs.

If a campus day-care center is to be
realized the University must fully support
the project. It must commit any existing
monetary resources and-or facilities to
daycare. and it must lobby 0n the state
and federal level for additional funds.

Coalition won't ‘overlhrow the University'

By JIM HARRALSON

coalition, n.

1. a combination, a union 2. a temporary
alliance of factions, parties, etc. for some
specific purpose.

THIS TERM (as defined by Noah
Webster) has been oft~used by critics of
the maligned group of 19 candidates whose
cross recom medna tions of one another has
been interpreted as a Greek plot to
overthrow the University.

These recommendations were attacked
by other candidates as a “dirty deal” and
the 19 themselves were noted as “short-
sighted" and inconsiderate of the con-
sequences of their actions in a recent
comment by Alan Stein and Georgeann
Rosenberg. Thsese accusations centered
on their inaccurate observation of our
running for the single purpose of
establishing the Greek minority as a
majority in the Student Senate.

The misguided missionaries of the truth
denounce us for conducting a “Vote Greek
because we‘re Greek" campaign. The list
cited by Stein and Rosenberg mentions

nothing about Greeks. It simply states that
these are able candidates for office. I fail
to understand how the authors can infer
our objective to be a blind, failure-to-
attack-the-gut-issues attempt to unite the
Greek vote. Circulation of the list was not
limited to Greek houses and individuals
but was passed among dorm residents and
off-campus independents as well. Where
the issues are concerned, those few
students who attended the candidates‘
forum can attest that each candidate took
an indiviaual stand on what issues there
were. In point of fact, however, ex—
ploratory surgery could not have found a
”gut" issue in this campaign.

STEIN AND Rosenberg go to state the
damage done to Greek-independent
relations, specifically wondering how
many students considered our actions an
attempt “to polarize Greeks and in-
dependents“ and “to cloud issues“. They
go on to wonder about the damage done to
future Greek candidates this apring. As
earlier stated. our campaigning was done
among all types of students. not only
Greeks. The only clouding of the issues

was that done by the candidates who
secondarily pursued the issues while
primarily attacking the list as a secret
coaltioon and its purpose as a power plot.
The maligned 19 stuck to the issues. This
certainly shows (as Stein and Rosenberg

the candidates and allows no room for
stereotyping of any kind. save artifical.
Thus. the only damage that could possibly
harm a Greek candidate this spring would
be the continued persistence of a few
popular propagandists who build coalition
castles in the sky.

I would like to assure authors Stein and
Rosenberg that we well considered the
consequences before running. The only
consequence we saw was the election of
meritorious. concerned candidates to
represent the student body in the Student
Senate. 1 hope the shortsightedness of
these authors will not result in an um
favorable reflection upon the Greeks who
cared about the plight of the University

future candidates be judged not as Greeks.

UK co-sponsors program

Donor drive starts today

By MINDY FETTERMAN
Kernel Staff Writer

Today marks the beginning of
the University blood donation
program, sponsored by the
Student Health Advisory Com-
mittee (SHAC) and the Student
Health Organization.

An information booth is set up
in the Student Center, where
questions about the program, its
benefits and general health will
be answered by a registered
nurse from 10 am. to 4 pm.

THE Blood Donor Program is
being sponsored by SHAC and the
Student Health Organization in
conjunction with the Central
Kentucky Blood Center. Under
their agreement, the University
will be covered for all its blood
needs for one year (until next
fall), if 10 per cent of the students
\1,990) donate a pint of blood
during the school year.

“The program will be a kind of
insurance plan for students,”
said Gloria Bowker, program
chairwoman. Bowker explained
that, not only will the student who
donates blood insure the entire
student body of an adequate
blood supply, but each donor can
name four pawns whom they
specifically want covered. Then,
if any of the four needs blood in
any part of the nation, they are
insured an adequate supply.

“Many people don’t realize that
most insurance policies cover
only the administration of
blood,” explained Jean Cox,
adviser to the Student Health
Organization. “The patient is

ACCORDING TO Cox, the price
of blood is very high and an in-
surance policy such as in the
Blood Donor Program would be
very helpful in an emergency.
She went on to explain that the
actual blood the student donates
would not be transferred to the
designated recipient, but blood
“credits" would be.

The Department of Health,
Education and Welfare (HEW) is
phasing out the practice of
buying blood from donors, Cox
added. “It seems it was at-
tracting the wrong kind of
people," she said. “We are
hoping the insurance plan will
motivate people to donate blood.”

The first drawing date for blood
donations will be Wednesday,
Nov. 28 at the Student Center.
Before donating blood, each

~quota on Wednesday,”

donor’s vital signs (pulse,
temperature, etc.) will be taken
and a short form must be filled
out about medical history. Then a
blood test to find out what type of
blood will be given. The donor
then is asked to lie down while the
blood is being taken. This takes
about 20 to 25 minutes.

”THE WHOLE process will
take about 45 minutes," said
Bowker. Refreshments will be
served after the donation, which
Bowker explained would increase
glucose in the donor’s system and
help avoid a faint feeling.

The goal for the first drawing is
100 pints of blood. However, if
this goal is not met, an extension
period of 30 days is granted. “All
is not lost if we don’t meet the
said Cox.
Another drawing date has been
set for Dec. 1 at Haggin Hall, with
more to be announced later on in
the year.

One method, said Dunn, would
be to organize a letter writing

UK housing policies termed
'conservative and traditional'

By JOHN SCHENKENFELDER
Kernel Staff Writer

A survey of 67 publicly sup—
ported institutions in Kentucky
and surrounding states reveals
Kentucky schools generally have
more conservative housing
policies than other Southeastern
Conference and benchmark
universities.

 

Benchmark schools are those
institutions which UK uses as a
reference point for comparing
policies and programs.

THE SURVEY was conducted
early last year by Dean of
Students Jack Hall to determine
how UK compares with other
universities.

In a memorandum to Dr.
Robert Zumwinkle, vice
president for student affairs, Hall
explained the results of the
survey. He wrote that the SEC
and benchmark universities
compare favorably with the
policies and programs of the
overall total of the eight states
surveyed.

“On the other hand,” the
memorandum reads, “responses
from Kentucky institutions in-
dicate a much more conservative

and traditional approach to
residence hall living.”

IN THE SOUTH. eight of 10
schools in Tennessee, along with
seven of eight in Virginia, im-
posed hours on Frosh women.

This corresponds with the
general belief that southern in-
stitutions are more tradition-
oriented than those in other
regions.

As such, they are less subject to
rapid and liberal changes in
housing policies.

HOWEVER. despite its leaning
toward traditional and con-
servative policies when com-
pared with out-d-state schools,
UK is said to be a pace-setter
within the state system.

For example, six of the seven
responding schools indicated no
coed residence hall, and all seven
required hours for un-
dergraduate women’s halls.

Besides maintaining a coed
dorm, UK will discontinue
women’s hours next yesr.

ONLY ONE Kentucky school,
the University of Louisville, was
shown by the survey to maintain
coed housing. UK began graduate
coed housing in 1967 when the
complex first opened and could
not be filled. (UK was not in-
cluded in the survey totals.)

The adoption of a coed dorm
policy wasa monetary decision in
which school administrators

were forced to offer students a
more appealing lving
arrangement. (It is estimated
that over 300 major colleges now
offer some form of coed housing.)

UK officials indicate there is
little reason why undergraduate
coed housing won’t remain here.
In fact, a number of observations
supplied by the housin
