Recipient of 56 teaching award
not recommended for tenure

Hy SAM HYASSEE
Kernel Staff Writer

The 1974 recipient of the UK Student
Government tSGt outstanding teacher
award will be denied tenure if the
recommendation of Vice President for
Academic Affairs Dr. Lewis Cochran is
followed by President Otis A. Singletary
and the UK Board of Trustees.

Dr. James Fetzer. philosophy assistant
professor. said he was informed of
Cochran‘s decision by Arts and Sciences
Dean Dr. Art Gallaher.

Fetzer said he disagrees with the
recommendation and believes it may be
based on “criteria extrinsic to stated
University requirements."

Neither Gallaher nor Cochran would
comment, citing the confidentiality of the
tenure process and the fact that no final
decision has been reached. Cochran said
the recommendation is under con-
sideration by President Singletary.

According to Fetzer, the recom-
mendation. which originated with the
tenured faculty of the philosophy depart-
ment. is not based on the merits of his
case. but on “personality conflicts" he has
with several members of the tenured
philosophy faculty. These conflicts, said
r‘t-tzcr. adversely influenced their
judgment of the quality of his work.

i‘K‘s govemrng and administrative.
regulations state the recommendation on
‘cnurc :5 made by the vice-president for
academic affairs .0 the president. The

president thew t'tviews the faculty

member's file and makes his own
recommendation to the board of trustees,
which takes final action on the case.

A promotion to associate professor,
with a grant of tenure, must be made
”strictly on the basis of merit" with four
areas considered important in the
evaluation: teaching, research,
professional activity and University and
public service.

The emphasis placed on each of these
areas may vary in individual cases, but
the regulations wam "care must be taken
to insure that outstanding performance in
a single activity does not obliterate the
other factors that should be considered in
evaluating academic excellence."

P‘etzer received the first annual SG
award given to UK assistant professors for
“excellence in teaching.“ At the time of
the awards presentation in 1974 Steve
Taylor, then 56 senator-at-large and
chairman of the selection committee, said
"The award recognizes activities in the
classroom so that when a professor comes
up for tenure, teaching, as well as
research and publications will be con-
sidered."

Fetzer does not base his disagreement
with Cochran's recommendation entirely
on his receipt of the teaching award, but
argues his credentials in all areas are
strong enough to merit tenure.

in addition to the award, Fetzer‘s
qualifications include an "outstanding"
rating by better than two-thirds of his
students on all course evaluation forms
since rim. with only five. per cent rating

him “average“ or lower; acting as
teaching director for the teaching
assistants in introductory logic courses
during 1973-74 and 1974-75 and serving on
six master‘s and two doctoral degree
committees.

r‘etzcr's research includes 12 articles
published or accepted by major
philosophical journals. He has been in-
vited to write two articles for special
volumes of Synthese, an international
journal of (pistomology and the philosophy
of science, and has also been invited to edit
another volume of that journal. He
received a UK summer faculty research
fellowship in 1972.

In the area of professional activity,

Felzer has presented five papers before.

national philosophical associations. He
serves as a program evaluator for the
National Science Foundation and as a
consultant for Philosophy of Science, the
official journal of the Philosophy of
Science Association. Professional
recognition of his work includes at least 10
articles in which discussion or reference to
it is made.

In service to the University, Fetzer has
served as a member or chairman of 11
departmental or college committees and
has presented 16 invited lectures to dif-
ferent groups at U K. He also participated
in an inter-disciplinary symposium
sporstred by the UK departments of
sociology and political science.

A decision by President Singletary on
this matter '5 expected some time later
his week.

South Hill

law suit plans
revealed during
Saturday rally

By (‘IIARLES L. SMITH
Kernel Staff Writer

At a Patterson Street rally Saturday,
held in protest of the destruction of
homes in the South Hill area, plans
were announced to file suit in federal
court to halt further land acquisition by
the Lexington Center Corporation
tl.(‘(‘t.

Dan Rowland. Historic South Hill
Neiglirorhood Association secretary.
told about I50 gatherers that two
Lexington attorneys. William Jacobs
and Al Brooks. have agreed to file suit
in federal court to halt further land
acquisition by the Lexington Center
Corporation tl.(,‘(‘ t.

Lt‘t‘ acquired the South Hill land,
with the approval of the Urban County
t‘ouncil. for construction of a surface
parking lot.

When contacted by the Kernel,
.laeobs refused to discuss the case and
Brooks could not be reached for
comment.

Rowland said the suit became
possible when his organization received
a $1,500 matching grant from the
National Trust for Neighborhood
Preservation in Washington, DC.
Rowland said he plans to begin raising
the local share of the money this week.

The complaint is presently being
drawn up and will probably be filed in
about a week, he said. He encouraged
South Hill owners and tenants to sign up
as plantiffs in the suit.

“Stay around, there’s nothing to be
lost and there might be a lot to be
gained,‘ he said encouraging South
Hill homeowners not to vacate their
homes. He said even if there was no
impendingsuit, property owners should
not accept the LCC‘s price for their

I“lyric Smith, South Hill resident and
leadu' of the opposition to LCC's ac-
tions, said, “It will most likely be a
class action suit challenging the power
of the LCC to condemn the land.”

Smith said the suit is not a delaying
tactic. “We‘re in it to win, not just
delay.“ But according to Charles
Warran, Friends of South ‘Hill
spokesman, a delay, if long enough,
might be as good as winning.

1f the South Hill residents could get
their suit tied up in court long enough,
L(X.‘ would have to choose an alter-
native forrn of parking, he said.

Warran said part of the reasoning
behind Saturday‘s two-hour rally was
because, “we want the people to par-
ticipate and make sure justice is done
in the courts. Court decisions are
determined by public opinion.”

Jim Scott, a relocation officer with
the South Hill Relocation Assistance
Office, was not as optimistic as Warran
about the fruits of such legal action,
however.

A suit could ”slow down" the
acquisition of property, but it “can‘t
permanently stop it,“ he said. ”It will
just prolong the agony in my opinion."

Raps editorial

Editor:
In regard to your editorial in the April

7 ”Kentucky Communist” (”The
Brawney Babes deserve recognition").
I feel that you have missed the whole
point. The "Brawney Babes" contest
was strictly a contest for males to dress
as females in a humorous manner and
overact their typical actions. All that
was necessary to enter was an entry fee
and a ti lied-in form about your interests
and hobbies.

The contest was iudged by two deans
and your own Kernel adviser. Their
iudgement was based on such aspects
as looks and actions which I'm sure
would not be discriminatory to any
sexual deviants. l’m very glad none of
these people did enter, for I feel the
other contestants might not have had a
chance!

election is approaching.

Hal ”Angel Cakes" Haering, an SG
vice presidential candidate, who, as a
student senator-at-large, opposed the
Gay Student Coalition, apparently saw
nothing wrong in strutting on stage in
drag in the Miss Brawny Babe Contest
Sunday night. Hopefully his ridiculous
winning performance was not part of
his campaign.

l hope the students on this campus
support Haering for his new role as Ms.

don’t need a "queen” for $6 vice

Open Letter to Gov. Carroll:

The 10 per cent annual raise the
University of Kentucky staff was
promised by the Board of Trustees has
been reduced to five per cent because of
your cut bad< of UK’s budget request.

Five per cent won’t keep up with
rising prices. Last year we got a 8.5 per
cent raise while inflation increased 12.2
per cent. This year inflation is around
to per cent. Lexington has the highest
prices in any Kentucky city and higher
than the national average. We are
falling farther and farther behind.

UK's wages have been rock bottom to
begin with. The first three pay grades
are below the poverty level set by the
federal government. Even with the
planned raise the lowest pay gr'ade will-
still be poverty level. There are people
working at UK for over 10 years who
have yet to earn $3 per hour. We receive
no paid health insurance and even have
to pay to park.

Workers at UK are also being laid off
because of your cutback-over 30 in
dentistry, while others in medical
science departments have been
threatened with layoffs. The majority

lntramurals
Editor;

This letter condemns the manner in
which the intramural sports are

refereed. The main complaint is that
the refereeing in the wrestling matches
was totally ridiculous. Poor calls and
quick pins were common along with the
obvious disregard for the participants‘
safety by the referees. in one match a
wrestler was placed on his shoulders in
a ”cradle hold“ for five seconds but the
referee did not call the pin because the
period was about to end. A pin consists
of putting a man on his shoulders for a
period of two seconds.

In another match a wrestler was
rolling from side to side under his op-
ponent and a pin was called with the
referee’s attention focused on the
judge's table. When a man rolls from
side to side both his shoulders are in
contactwith the mat for a period of one-
half second. it takes two seconds to pin
a man.

in another match a wrestler applied a
Full Nelson while not even being close
to pinning his opponent. The referees
did not call the hold illegal until the
crowd pointed it out for him. A Full
Nelson used in a pinning combination is
legal but otherwise it is both highly
dangerous and illegal.

Another example of the referee’s
disregard for the participant’s safety
occurred in a heavyweight match. One
wrestler repeatedly used a Danish Kiss
on his opponent. A Danish Kill consists
of slamming the top part of one per-
son’s skull into the forehead of
somebody else's head. This repeated
use of the Danish Kiss resulted in iniury
to the other wrestler. While this hap-
pened many times during the match the
referee was not aware that it was going
on at all.

In the same match the smaller
wrestler was picked up bodily and
thrown across the mat. The only place
where holds and tricks of this nature
are used is in Big Time Wrestling on

TV.
In closing I would like to point out

that the iob the referees did in the in-

tramural wrestling matches is typical

of the way all intramural spots at
Seaton Center are refereed.

t proves

her inexperience

 

37 Mary Chemotil and Steve Cotherman

Robin Mitchell’s April 2 column at-
tempting to review the current
exhibition at the Fine Arts Gallery for
the “ inexperienced viewer" proves that
she herself is the inexperienced viewer.
Throughout her review, Mitchell
alludes to artistic trends and
developments without sufficient ex-
planation and misuses many art
historical terms in the process. Her
column is ambiguous and ignorant to
thepoint that theaveragereader would
tend to regard art criticism as in-
comprehensibh ravings and gibberish.

From the onset. Mitchell uses such
ambiguous phrases as "coloristic
expressionism" (as if expressionism
was not usually inseparably l inked with
color to begin with). Herevaluation of
the worksof Dubuffet and Lichtenstein
as providing "visual answers to
q uestions about the endur 'ng q uality of
the art which is being produced during
the 20th century" says nothing.
Dubuffet‘s work is intentionally
childlike and delightful, rather than
“oppressiv e” asshe later describes it.
Furthermore, had she closely
.examined Dubuffet’s "Arab Series"
painting she would have noticed that
the mediu mis gouache (opame water-
color) and not a combination of sand.
earth and pigment that she claims
creates ”a powerful sense of reality."
How can a sense of reality be derived
from this child-like creation?

Thoughshe claims Lichtenstein to be

important for 20th century art, shefails
to mention why. Mitchell does not
recognizethathis untitled work i snot a
representative example of Lichten-
stein’s mature Pop style which does
indeed reflect the trench and concerns
of 20th cenhiry American art and
popular culture.
. With regard to Jand Fish’s "Five
Bertoli Bottles," Mitchell ineptly
describes the work as ”realistic im-
pressions" (a contradictory statement
in itself) and as "five bottles con
taining yellow liquid” (is this an art
historical euphemism for beer bottles,
or olive oil bottles or what?). The work
is rather an example of post- Pop
realism. in which the artist uses
popular obiects (olive oil bottles) to
create larger-than-life images of
reality.

Less successful examples of Pop art
are Joe Goode’s spray-pahted coke
bottles and pencil drawing of the same.

Rather than expanding the concepts of
Pop art, Goode’s work is merely
derivative of an artist like Jasper
Johns, whose sculptures were actually

‘ cast from real objects like ale cans or

pop bottles.

The return to representationalism
manifested in Pop art is firther ex-
panded in theNew Realist school of the
late 1960’s Fish’s "Bertoli Bottles"
falls into this category as does Peter
Holbrook‘s ”Anita in a Rocker,” which
Mitchell also fails to discuss
coherently. Rather than setting out to
intentionally ”achieve photographic
qualities in his work," as she states. it
is more likely that Holbrook used a
photograph for the source of his
painting, asmost New Realistsdid. The
work becomes painterly and less
photographically realistic because of
the great enlargement of the image.

Mitchell’s account of this painting
leaves some unanswered questions. For
example, what is "realism combined
with scarce subiect matter," the ”life
size of the canvas“ a nd "an impression
upon the viewer that should be
la sting?" These ambiguous statements
simply reinforce our contention that
Mitchell is misusing the vocabulary of
an art critic, is misinformed about
modern art and is misleading her
readers.

In addition to the few artists men-
tioned in the review, there are others
more worthy of mention. The works of
Ellsworth Kely and Karel Appel are
noteworthy examples of the Minimal-
Color Field trend and figurative Ab-
stract Expressionism, respectively.
H.N. Han’s ”Storage Tanks” is another
New Realist oriented work based on a
photographic image, while Ray
Parkers’s untitled oil painting is
reminiscent of the abstract imagery of
Adolph Gottlieb and Mark Rothko. in
addition, there is a delightful
lithograph by John Lennon showing the
ex- Beatle‘s talents in a field otherthan
music.

The "Gifts from James K. Meeker
and the Memorial Loan Collection of
Robert B. Mayer" exhibitionin the UK
Fine Arts Gallery presents progenitors
and followers of many of the main-
stream trends in art since 1950.

Opinions from inside and outside the University

Brawny Babes contest was for fun, prize

 

By Debbie Davis

As this year’s coordinator of the
Brawny Babecontest i too would like to
mngratulate Hal Haering for winning
the contest. It is really not surprising
that Haering entered the contest if you
consider his motives from face value
and not from a non-existent ulterior
depth. Like all of the contestants,
Haering was put up by an organization
for fun, publicity and a prize.

The only unfortunate aspect of this
entire affair is that there are people
who single out one contestant because
of his position as a Student Government
(86) senator and candidacy for the SG
vice presidency, and seek to hamper his
campaign with unprecedented and
unrelated publicity linked to the Gay

 

Students Coalition (GSC).
American structure of leisure activity

football and the Indianapolis 500 are
mm parable to the morbidly gruesome,
sadistic displays that took place in the
coliseum in ancient Rome.

Also, the depressing stigma of the
soap operas currently captivating
millions of daytime television fans as
well as the sexual (and ti-sexual),

‘ psychological and emotional dramas of
the" motion picture industry today
reflect the attitude and interests of the
people of this era. Anyone who caught
”Dog Day Afternoon” remembers the
homosexual ”wife” of Al Pacino; and i
don’t recall the movie critics saying
anything about that movie making
something of the Gay Liberation
Front’s rights or ideas.

is it inherent preiudice and cruelty
that prompts Flip Wilson to portray
himself as the flippant, loose
Geraldine? 0r likewise is it cruelty on
the part of Jonathan Winters to don
feminine attire and become a sour
Maude Frickett? And what of the

You may consider the entire

thousands of people that flock to see

they living in a vacuum?

In my opinion, the hypocrisy of this
situation lies in the inability of some
people to accept entertainment as it is
preseited without placing themselves
in sudi a high egocentric position as
judges of the idea of fun.

The basic idea behind a contest of this

type is merely to poke fun at women in

their attempt to gain recognition
through beauty pageant titles. As a
former holder of such a title, I took no
offense to this type of humor; as a
matter of fact, i was one of the
mistresses of ceremonies. i would
apologize only to those women who are
sensitive to beauty pageant iokes.

However, there is no apology necessary

 

 

tor the GSC since there was no attempt
made to slander or degrade their ideas.

I hope whoever receives the
scholarship made possible by this
contest, enjoys their education whether
they be black or white or gay or green!

W Ward Mcfinald

The ”Kappa Alpha incident”
illustrates what I think is an all too
common attitude at UK. Some white
students have taken an ”insider-
outsider" stand about the University,
with the white students as the insiders
and blacks as the outsiders. Those who
hold this view seem to think that UK
was built for and by whites, with blacks
attending only by special privilege.
For much of the University’s history,
this statementwas true. UKwas oncea
very racist institution. The school was
founded after the Civil War to serve the
children of Kentudty’s aristocracy.
Blacks weren’t even allowed on the UK
campus until World War il. U K didn‘t
admit blacks as students until the late
’50’s; blacks weren't hired as in-
structors or administrators until the
mid-10‘s; and UK didn’t recruit black
athletes until the late ’60's. Even today,
blacks account for only about two per

 

cent of the student body.

To its credit, the University has at-
tempted to correct this situation. This
effort started with the hiring of black
instructors and the very visible and
somewhat superficial recruiting of
black athletes about eight years ago.
The effort continues today with the
more meaningful recruitment of
talented black students and with the
appointment of blacks to the Board of
Trustees, the Athletic Board and to a
vice presidency.

However, all of these efforts have
been largely ineffective because of the
”insider-outsider" attitude. And
nothing supports that attitude like
activities such as ”Old South Week" at
KA. The Bid South—the Confederacy—
was a society that was based on and
supported by, first, the enslavement of,
and later. discrimination against and
exploitation of blacks. Yet many
people cling b the institutions and
symbols of the old South as if they were

'lnsider—Outiser’ stand dominates UK

things to be proud of.

KA’s "Old South Week” wasn't an
unusual, isolated incident. There is a
great deal of celebration of the Con-
federacy at UK. For several weeks last
semester, there was a display of
Confederate uniforms and photographs
of students cavorting happily in them at
the Student Center. Confederate flags
are abundant on campus. Groups with
a Confederate theme frequently par-
ticipate in Little Kentucky Derby and
Homecoming events. This is an insult
to blacks.

None of this is to say the football
players were right in entering the
fraternity house. The best way to
combat the kind of stupidity shown by
the person at KA is to ignore it.
Howeva, this should demonstrate to
the University the need for eliminating
the attitude that causes such incidents.

'UK is designated by state statutes as
the primary institution of higher
education in the state. The statutes also

   

state that the facilities are to be open to
every graduate of a Kentucky high
school. However, because of the ”in-
sider-outsider” attitude present at UK,
and the constant glorification of the
Confederacy, many blacks are hin-
dered in their efforts to become part of
the University community and make
use of University facilities. it is UK’s
duty, therefore, to rid the school of
these hindra nces. The first step to take
is to refuse to give permission for ac-
tivities such as ”Old South Week” on
UK property and in University events.

Of course, it can’t be denied that the
old South existed. But if was based on
the degradation of a large group of
people, blacks, and its constant
resurrection is extremely offensive to
us The Confederacy was a mistake in
this nation’s history; mistakes are to be
learned from, not celebrated.

Carter widens lead,
picks up delegates

WASHINGTON AP — Jimmy Carter picked up 17 Democratic
nationalconvention delegates over the weekend to widen his lead in
the race for his party's presidential nomination.

The gain at district conventions in Iowa on Saturday gave Carter
a total of 258 delegates to 177 total for Sen. Henry M. Jackson of
Washington. who did not receive any of the 40 Iowa delegates
chosen.

Ten of the delegates went to Rep. Morris Udall, D-Ariz., to bring
his total to 129, and 11 of those selected were uncommitted.

Former Oklahoma Sen. Fred Harris, who has stopped active
campaignirg. won two of the delegates to give him a total of 15.

It takes 1,505 delegates to win the Democratic nomination.

0n the GOP side of the ledger Mississippi Republicans selected 30
delegates Sa turday but these were all uncommitted so totals in that
nomination race remain unchanged.

President Ford is on top with 251 delegates while challenger
Ronald Reagan has 84 and 196 are uncommitted.

Negotiations continue
in San Francisco strike

SAN FttANt‘lSt‘t) (AH—Negotiations resumed Sunday in an
effort to settle a 12-day-old strike by municipal employee which has
halted public tramportation and other city services

Negotiators for the city and 10 craft unions met for four hours
before breaking for lunch. No results of the talks were announced.

The session was the first since last Wednesday when labor
representa tives rejected a proposal that pay demands be settled by
voters in a referendum on the June 8 ballot.

The unions, representing about 1,900 of San Francisco's 18,000
employee, struck March 31 in a dispute over $5.7 million in voter-
mandated pay cuts, A carpenter‘s pay, for example, would be
reduced from $21,800 to $17,240. while a street sweeper‘s salary
would be cut from $17,300 to between $12,000 and $14,000.

Although drivers for the Municipal Railway did not strike, they

Predicted flood threatens
North Dakota residents

MINUT. N. I). MIN—Hundreds of volunteers, bolstered by
National Guard troops, continued their around-the-clock efforts
Sunday in an attempt to hold back the predicted record rises in the
Souris River.

More than 12,000 persons. about one-third of Minot’s population,
packed clothes, furniture and other personal belongings into
anything with wheels in an attempt to meet Thursday‘s evacuation
deadline.

“We know it ‘5 coming, and this is just the period of waiting,” said
Mayor Chester Reiten. “I‘m still reasonably confident we can hold
the water in the dikes."

The flood would be the fourth to hit the city in the last seven
years. and the residents have been through the trials of moving in
past years. The Souris winds through Minot, which is nestled
between t yo hills. _

“This is it for me,“ said one resident as he surveyed the water
tapping at the dikes. ”I‘m going to move upthe hill. [don‘t want to,
but I'm gting to."

However. many of the citizens forced to leave their homes are
going about their work with quiet resignation.

All families must be out of the flood plain by Thursday, several
days before the predicted crest of the river. Most are moving in
with friends or relatives, or going to motels and homes volunteered
by their owners. Some are temporarily billeted in local gym-
nasiums.
