Landlord-tenant low
Louisville, Lexington 's new law may be beneficial

By KAYE cov'ri:
Assistant Managing Editor

Lexington arxl Louisville‘s new landlord»
tenant law has proved to be beneficial to
landlords and tenants since it became
effective Aug. 1.

Representatives of local tenant and
landbrd groups have expressed their
satisfaction with the Uniform Residential
Landlord and Tenant Act’s definition of the
rights and responsibilities for those who
rent or pay rent.

SOME "F the major points of the new
law include the following:

—- Evictions are prohibited as a means
for landlord retaliation against tenants
who report violations of housing. safety
codes or join a tenants' union.

7- If required, security deposits are kept
by the landlord in a separate bank ac-
count. He must tell the tenant the account
number and location. Before moving in.
both the landlord and tenant must inspect
the unit for any existing damage. The
resulting list. signed by one or both of the
parties. will determine if the landlord
should return all or part of the deposit.

— [NDER certain conditions. tenants
may deduct repairs from rent if the lan-
dlord fails to make the repairs 14 days
after notification. However, the law only
covers repairs which cost up to slmor half
a month's rent. whichever is greater.

Tenants have the responsibility to
keep their premises clean, safe and in
compliance with building and housing
codes They must not deliberately or
negligently destroy or damage any part of
the unit or use heating. sanitation or

ventilation lacilities In an unreasonable
manner

Tenants may now obtain injunctive
relief if the landlord fails to comply with
the rental agreements or local building
and safety codes. ()r be may terminate the
lease 30 days after notifying the landlord if
the pmblem is not solved.

”IT‘S WORKING very well here in
Lexington." said State Representative
William G. Kenton (Dvl.ex.t. sponsor of
the legislation. ”The main point of the bill
was to try to develop a rational resolution

an equitable way to establish a lan—
dlord's and tenant's legal relationship."

“I think it helped owners and dwellers
by eliminating the chaos that went on for
years," he said.

Kenton added the only problem he has
seen with the new law is that not enough
people haveexercised their rights under it.

"BOTH TENANTS and landlords are not
fully informed about the new law." said
Alberta Coleman, program coordinator of
Tenants Services and Organization
Assistance, Inc, tTS&()At, a non—profit
housing counseling center for low-income
families, "It‘s their actual experience that
willbnng them into knowledge of what the
legislation really means." (‘oleman said.

Although ’I‘S&()A sponsored a series of
neighborhood meetings last summer to
explain the law. the seminars were only
lightly attended. (‘ole'nan said. ”We feel
that until people have a need. a crisis or an
emergency, they won't seek help."

and research coordinator. said he was
happy to see the legislature finally decide

The Environmental Protection Agency

Close Rose Street: The planner's nightmare

A University planner‘s nightmare:
He is standing at the edge of a street
trying to get to the other side. Each
time he takes a tenous step off the
curb a LexTran bus comes hurtling
from nowhere. He dives back to the
curb each time without a moment to
spare. He looks back and sees an
incredibile carnage; bodies strewn in
the street. hit-and—run victims

Nabobs of
negativism

Last semester we witnessed first
the approval then the recission by the
Student Senate of a Student Govern-
ment tSGl sponsored dance for gay
students. This semester SG President
David Mucci has vetoed the senate's
decision to rescind the sponsorship of
the dance. However. at tonight‘s
senate meeting the veto could be

crawling to the curbs. The planner
can take it no longer. He runs into the
street. extends his right arm with
palm upturned. Bearing down on him
is a Cadillac. The instant before fatal
impact he recognizes its passengers:
a heterogeneous mix of city officials.
council members. and state highway
department members.

“You fool?" they cry in unison.
"Don‘t you know you can't stop the
Rose Street express?“ The planner
awakes shouting “I can! I will? I
can...”

We cannot verify the occurrence of
such a nightmare. but the problem of
what to do with Rose Street could
certainly produce one.

What does one do with a street that
is congested with cars at nearly any
hour of the day. that is crossed daily
by more than 10.000 students (Student
Government estimate) and that
separates the L'niversity from its
primary expansion area ithe Clifton
Park-Columbia regioni‘.’

Closing Rose Street is not ac-
ceptable to city officmls because.
quite simply, it is one of the city's
major arteries.

Alternative proposals for
alleviating the Rose Street problem
include the building of a walk bridge
connecting the Medical (‘enter and
the Medical (‘enter Annex area.
Funds have already been ap-
propriated for this.

For the Rose-(‘1ifton-t‘olumbia
area. several solutions are being
considered One is the construction of
landscaped medians to allow
pedestrians a “safe zone” in the
middle of the street. Another is
“depressing" a section of the street to
create a partially open tunnel. with
sidewalk-level walkways overpassing
the street.

money the city could build a bypass
road to the east of campus or update
and widen an existing road to handle
the traffic. Which brings us back to
the original proposal.

('lose Rose Street At this point we
are confronted by the frightening
spectre of reality. It is the stuff of
planners nightmares.

With that. band leader Doc

“Yl‘I.>\ll.YE.»\H," replies the
eloquent Mr. Reynolds. who then
introduces Mitzi Gaynor. the first

By Steven M. Cahn

BURLINGTON, Vt.—American higher
education stands on the brink of chaos.
Never have so mmy rpent so long
learning so little.

The present crisis stems from the
increasingly widespread acceptance
among faculty and administrators of
the fatal educational principle that a
student should not be required to do
any academic work that displeases
him. If a student prefers not to study
science or history or literature, he is
allowed to attain his degree without.
studying any science, history, or
literature.

If he prefers not to take examina~
tions, he either makes special arrange-
ments with his instructor or else
chooses his courses from among the
ever-growing number that involve no
examinations. If he prefers that his
work not be graded, he arranges in
most or all of his courses to receive
an undifferentiated pass or fail. if he
is concerned about obtaining high
grades, he selects his teachers from
among the many who have yielded to
student pressure and now indiscrimi—

nately award A‘s to virtually everyone.
As the dean of Yale's Morse College
recently remarked of her students,
“They get a B and they bawl. It takes
a man or woman of real integrity
to give a 8."

Throughout the country the attempt
is being made to provide students with
what is advertised as a liberal educa-
tion without requiring of them the
neces ary self-discipline and hard
work. Students have. been led to be-
lieve they can acnieve without effort,
that all they need do in order to ob-
tain a good education is skip blithely
down the merry road to learning. Uni
fortunately, that road is no more than
a detour to the dead end of ignorance.

We must realize that becoming an
educated person is a difficult, demand-
ing enterprise. Just as anyone who
spoke of intense physical training as
a continuous source of pleasure and
delight would be thought a fool, for
we all know how much pain and frus—
tration such training involves, so any«
one who speaks of intense mental
exertion as a continuous source of
joy and ecstasy ought to be thought
equally foolish, for such effort also
involves pain and frustration. It is
painful to have one's ignorance ex~

posed and frustrating to be baffled by
intellectual subtleties. Of cour. 0, there
can be joy in learning as there can be
joy in sport. But in both cases the
joy is a result of overcoming genuine
challenges and cannot be experienced
without toil.

It is not easy to read intelligently
and think precisely. It is not easy to
speak fluently and write clearly. it is
not easy to study a subject carefully
and know it thoroughly. But these
abilities are the foundation of a sound
education.

If a student is to learn intellectual
responsibility, he must be taught to
recognize that not every piece of work
is a good piece of work. In fact, some
work is just no good at all. A student
may be friendly, cooperative, and sen-
sitive to the needs of mankind, but he
may nevertheless turn in a muddled
economics paper or an incompetent
laboratory report.

And that he means well is no rea-
son why he should not be criticized
for an inadequate performance. Such
criticism, when well-founded and con—
structive, is in no way demeaning, for
the willingness to accept it and lawn
from it is one mark of a mature indi-
vidual, Yet criticism of any sort is rare

Pd ul Dena"

nowadays. As student opinion is
given greater and greater weight in
the evaluation of faculty, professors
are busy trying to ingratiate them-
selves with the students.

Indeed, college education is gradu-
ally coming to resemble the (‘aucus—
race in “Alice‘s Adventures in Won-
derland" in which everyone begins
running whenever he likes and stops
running whenever he likes. there are
no rules. Still everyone wins, and
everyone must receive a prize.

A democracy, however, cannot af-
ford to transform its educational sys-
tem into a Caucus—race. for the success
of a democracy depends in great part
upon the understanding and capability
of its citizens. And in the complex
world in which we live. to acquire
sufficient understanding and capability
requires a rigorous education. If we
fail to provide that education, we shall
have only ourselves to blame 'iS inis~
guided policies ‘u our universities
contribute to the decay of our
denim-racy.
