Overcrowding ends
in expansion plans

By JIM MCNAIR
Copy Editor

For years, the UK College of
Architecture has been holed up in
two buildings that are generally
considered to be outmoded, over-
p0pulated and, on separate 0c-
casions, contemplated for
destruction.

The buildings, Pence Hall and
Miller Hall, are two of the oldest on
campus, veterans of UK since 1909
and 1898 respectively. Pence Hall
serves as the nerve center of ar-
chitecture activities while only the
third floor and two second-floor
rooms of Miller Hall are used by the
college.

The dean, faculty members and
studaits of the architecture college
have tolerated the space limitations
and di510cation of the buildings, but
an eagerness on the part of officials
to start work on some form of ex-
pansion does exist.

Proposals for a new Arts and
Architecture Building were initially
discussed seva‘al years ago and
were soon backed by a funds request
of $4 million, according to Vice
President of Academic Affairs
Lewis Cochran.

Growing in importance due to the
college‘s cramped situation, the
pr0posal rose to the number three
position on the 1977 University
buildings priority list and is
presently accompanied by a sub-
stantial budget of $6.6 million.

The pr0posal for expansion does
not necessarily imply that a new
building will be built though. An
alternative measure of renovating
and enlarging Pence Hall is now
being studied by a team of ar-
chitecture professors who were
assigned by Dean Anthony Eardley
to substantiate the feasibility of
remaining in the building.

The architectural firm chosen for
the project; ltyan, Cooke and Zuern
of Louisville: will supposedly

. and preliminary

“consider all Options” in deciding
which direction the work will
proceed, said Clifton Marshall,
University architect and directOr of
the Division of Design and Con-
struction.

But the decision ultimately rests
in the hands of the contracted ar-
chitects. Recommendations and
criticisms may be offered by the
college and Marshall, who acts as
the liaison between the firm and UK,
but actual engagement in design
production by parties subordinate to
the Board of Trustees is forbidden
by state law.

Hence, the desire or belief that
College of Architecture faculty
members should provide plans for
construction are n0ble, but r10t
foreseeable.

Jack Blanton, vice president of
business affairs, said, “It’s a
humongous job. They (faculty
members) couldn‘t do it and teach at
the same time. There aren’t enough
hours in the day for them to do it;
there are too many specifications
and details."

Cochran agreed. “I‘ve heard of
universities having their own design
competence, designing campus
architecture, but it is extremely
rare," he said.

Blanton, giving a rough timetable,
said the project would be done in
1981 at the earliest. He said that
after an architect is selected, “it
would take a year for the design, so
maybe in the summer of fall of ‘79
we can have a contract on the
building. Then we’re talking about
two years of building time.”

In addition to the time consumed
by budgeting, bidding, construction
and final
schematics, blueprints, illustrations
and statements, the project
calendar is extended by approvals
involving the offices of academic
affairs and business affairs, the
Division of Design and Construction,

the Council on Higher Education and
the Bureau of Facilities
Management.

According to Blanton, the role of
the Council on Higher Education is
that of a “watchdog agency for tax
bucks, looking at cost control and
programs functiors." The Bureau of
Facilities Management, he said,
selects architects for university
construction work.

The architect selection, said
Bureau Commissioner Clark
Beauchamp, “is based on past
performance on state projects,
professional qualifications and
gene‘al professional excellence." In
this case, he said, the firm was also
recommended by the University.

The need for greater space was
cited by a visiting team of the
National Architectural Accrediting
Board, which inspected the college
last March.

“The strongest point the visiting
team can make in this report is on
the inadequacy of the physical
plant," said the accreditation team
in it's offical report. “The facilities
are completely at odds with a
program in architecture which is
dedicated to the design of a suitable
environment for human use.

“In additiOn to the fact that the
spaces are cramped, poorly
cquippal and poorly maintained, the
physical separation (of buildings)
further hampers the deveIOpment of
a fully integrated program.”

Although the team praised other
aspects of the college and recon-
ferred accreditation, it urged “the
university administration to press
for a new facility as 50qu as
possible.” '

Architecture Dean Anthony
Eardley expressed desire to remain
in Pence Hall and said it was too
early to tell which direction ex-
pansion would take.

State song attracts Chinese student to Kentucky

By CRAIG DANIELS
Kernel Staff Writer

Late last spring, Samuel Ting
received the news. He was to leave
his native Taiwan by plane in mid-
August, land in Los Angeles, catch
another flight to Chicago, and
proceed to Lexington, Ky.

He had been accepted as a
graduate student by UK, and even
offered a teaching assistantship.

Ting had a whirlwind trip. He saw
little of the United States—just the
insides of airports at Los Angeles
and Chicago.

“I felt helpless,” Ting said. “And
whenI first arrived at the Lexington
airport, I didn’t know what to do. I
wondered how to make a phone call,
how far to UK campus—all those
things I didn’t know. So for 1V2 hours
I stood with my two bags, like an
outcast."

A man Ting met at the airport
helped him 10cate the president of
the Chinese Studmts‘ Association,

business. "

Mike Hu. It was with fill that Ting
spent his first two weeks in
Lexington. Then he experienced his
most vivid recollection of those two
weeks ——his first taste of a barn-
burger.

However, Ting, who is 28 years
old, now has many more im-
pressions of the United States and
particularly of Kentucky. Most seem
to be favorable.

A characteristic of Americans
that Ting finds especially admirable
is “their scientific, systematic way
of doing things. Everything has its

special order. Americans are more’

advanced, more scientific. more
aggressive than people in Taiwan,"
he said.

Still, Ting said, “The life here is
not as convenient as the life I had in
my country. Here you have to drive
wherever you want to go. You have
more space, so things are spread
out.

“In Taiwan, everything is close
together. Buses take you

evrrywhere you want to go; taxis
are cheap.

“Here it seems to be, if you don‘t
have. a car. you don‘t have feet.
That‘s why I recently bought a car."

Ting said he is impressed with the
warmth and friendliness of Ken-
tuckians —— particularly older
citizens. “The first week I was
here," he said, “an old man passed
rue and called “How are you doing?’
I had never seen him before. That
impressed me "

Sam is convinced that American
young people lead happier, less
pressure-filled lives than Chinese
youths. “American students are less
pressured. They can do other things
(besides schoolwork) and that
allows them to learn other things. I
saw people in the band before a
football game last fall. I was im-
pressed that they had free time to
pursue that activity.”

Brit in Taiwan. Ting said, school
comes first. From junior ingh school
through college. young people are

constantly under pressure. Students
must constantly study for exams, he
explained, to get into high school and
college.

Scores on the associational err-
trance exam determine who will
gain admission to colleges, Ting
said, adding that less than one-
fourth of the 90,000 students who
take the test yearly can be accepted.
“The competition is very keen.“

Ting once was a teacher in his
hometown of Taipei, the capital of
Taiwan. He taught English gram-
mar to ninth grade students and has
received nearly 300 letters from his
former students in the 6': months he
has been in this country. “They miss
me," hcsaid, “and! miss them very
much, too." Ting said he answers
cvrry letter.

At UK, Ting is seeking a master’s
degree in human communication, a
subject in which he already displays
a bachelor's degree from Taipei‘s
Fu Jen University. He works as a
teaching assistant in telecom—
rmrnications classes.

After he receives his master’s,
Ting wants to return to Taiwan to
teach, preferably at his former
school. He said, “Originally, I
wanted to get a PhD, become a
college professor and get status. But
now it seems that human life is so
transitory. so short, it seems foolish
to use so much energy for such a
lofty goal.

“For now, I want to master
English, because I have come to a
real place to study English."

Ting said he sought admission to
UK because it has a human com-
munication department and, even
more, because of the “good im-
pression of Kentucky" he has had
since childhood.

“When I was in the seventh grade,
my English teacher taught us a
song. It was “My Old Kentucky
Home.“ From then on, I thought
much of Kentucky. I like the folk
music, horses and Stephen Foster."

(m a subject concerning his own
home, Taiwanese security. Ting said

that the Nationalist Chinese are not
afraid of the Communist Chinese. He
said the citizens of the island nation
feel threatened only by the
marnland‘s leadership.

“The peOple on mainland China
and in Taiwan are the same. We in
Taiwan have many relatives in
mainland China. People in Taiwan
are so familiar with places on the
mainland."

Ting said letters his family and
acquaintances have received from
the mainland indicate that the
majority of Chinese there are
frustrated. "They don't have human
rights. We in Taiwan would like
President Carter to place emphasis
on human rights in China."

Ting said he would not be sur-
prised if the United States severed
diplomatic ties with Nationalist
China and established ties with
Communist China. In fact, he said
it‘s only a “matter of time“ before
such action takes place. But, he
insisted, “I'm not afraid of this kind
of thing."

The last bane game of a basketball season is

New policies have some up in arms

Is the University just after money?

By DAN CRUTCHER

“That ranklcs my ass!“—.\lr
Natural

Having attended this University
erratically since 1970, I have become
fairly confident in my ability to
recognize and avoid the various
administrative pitfalls that can
ensnare the unsuspecting student. In
fact, I have ever been awarded a
nicely-embellished piece of paper as
testimony of this ability.

About ten days ago, however, 1
received a notification from the
University which has forced me to
conclude that my confidence is ill-
founded, or, more accurately, that
that confidence is itself a pitfall. I
had been lulled into complacency; I
had lost that instinctive wariness
that is necessary for survival in any
jungle andi am, literally, paying for
it.

The particular trap in which I am
now caught is the University‘s new
policy regarding late payment of
fees.

Previously (from at least 1972
until last semester) students had 30

calendar days from the beginning of
the semester to pay their fees, with
five dollars added on for late
payment. After that point, if one
wished to remain on the rolls, it was
necessary to pay a $25 reinstatement
fee.

 

comment

 

The new policy, instituted just this
semester. allow only ten class days
for late payment (with no extra
charge). after which point one must
pay a $50 reinstatement fee to be
restored to the University‘s g00d
graces.

This is probably very old news to
trust of you. After all, the University
spent over $8,000 publicizing this
policy change in the Kernel, in the
class schedule book, in various
mailings, etc. I feel no little guilt in
confessing that the first I heard of
the change was in that notification
ten days ago which said my
registration had been cancelled
unless I paid my fees ($92) plus the

$50 reinstatement fees. And while
I’m in a confessory mood I may as
well concur that, indeed, I have not
paid my fees — for various reasons,
a severe crisis in asset liquidity
being uppermost among them.

I should also mention that there is
an appeals process, if one feels that
he is being treated unfairly or that
there are mitigating circumstances.
Obviously, the University does not
consider lack of funds a mitigating
factor, as my appeal was denied.

The appeal that I would have
wished to have made, however, is
not One based on my own special
circumstances, but against the very
substance of the policy itself.

First of all, one has to wonder why
the University felt a need to doubly
tighten the late payment rules (by
shortening the time allowed for
payment and raising the rein-
statement fee). According to Judy
Marshall, ombudswoman for
financial affairs, it was mainly
because the number of late-paying
students has been growing in recent
years. A committee was formed to
wrestle with this problem (there
were even eight students on the

 

 

 

 

committee, which, I guess, makes
everything all right) and it
unanimously approved this change.

There are assumptions underlying
this new policy that I find highly
questionable. One is that lax
regulatiOns are to blame for the
increasing number of late-paying
students (and underlying this
assumption is the unspoken belief
that there are a substantial number
of students who don’t want to pay On
time).

May I suggest a different set of
assumptions: suppose that the
phenomenon of more students'
paying late is directly related to the
generally higher cost of living for
students, in the form of higher rent,
utility bills, food, tuition, etc. (No
one can reasonably argue that
wages for the kind of jobs that most
students work have risen propor-
tionately.) Does it then make sense
to give them less time to pay and
charge them more when they don’t
pay on time?

The University maintains (in a
nice bit of Skinnerian doublespeak)
that the increased reinstatement fee
is more “incentive" to pay early

rather than more punishment for
paying late. As proof of its efficacy,
Marshall cites the fact that there
were fewer students paying late this
semester than last. The reasoning
here is that if the results of the policy
are as expected (fewer late-paying
students), then thetheory behind the
policy must be sound.

I concede that the number of
delinquent students will dr0p
significantly as the “incentive” is
increased. But what interests me
more is what happens to the few —
usually those in the most difficult
circumstances —— who are left. They
are increasingly punished, and
finally squeezed out altogether,
became they cannot come up with
the money, or because they have any
of a myriad of personal problems
that the University does not
recognize as valid or mitigating.

If the University is primarily
concerned with numbers, it has an
effective policy. If it is primarily
interested in the welfare of its
studmts, then it has a coun-
terproductive policy. Regardless of
the intentions behind the policy
change, the effect, for a small

 

number of students. is punitive. And
for what higher purpose are these
students being punished" Fiscal
efficiency"?

University officials claim that
part of the impetus behind the policy
change was pressure fr0m the state
legislature. In fact, they say that
this is only a step towards the
legislature‘s ultimate goal of total
prepayment of fees. I don‘t doubt
this is true; it sounds like the kind of
idiooy in which the legislature
specializes.

But if that is the case. then I say it
is the duty of the L'nivcrsity ad-
ministrators to plead on behalf of
studmts rather than submit and
then pass the buck upstairs.

I would like to suggest some sort of
positive action for students to take
who are similarly disgruntled with
the administratiOn's attitude
towards students, but this is, after
all. the silent seventies, Just tell
them that it rankles your ass and
you‘re not going to ta kc it any more.

ago large demonstrations, growing
out of the miserable life of 0p-
pression and exploitation faced by
the Iranian people, showed the kind
of “stability” that exists in Iran and
“the respect the pe0ple give” to the
fascist Shah.

In massive protests centering in
the city of Quin, at least 200 people
have been murdered 0n the streets,

comment

 

Fearful of the people, the dic-
tatorial regime refused even to hand
Over the bodies of the dead to their
families. For, otherwise, the regime
feared funeral ceremonies for the
murdered would itself turn into
an0ther massive show of hatred and
discontent toward the puppet
regime. Evert the injured were not
allowed to be taken care of in Qum
iself, but were sent to different -
places around the country so as to

split them up and to suppress the
news.

Following the uprising in Qum, the
business districts (bazzar) in
Abadan, Rasht. Mashhad, Isfahan
and Tehran staged a sympathy
strike by closing all Shfps, some for
a day, others for two or more days.
Progressive Iranian clergy in
Tehran v0iced their Opposition by
going on a week-long strike.

Colleges and universities
throughout the country are shut
down due in part to massive protests
over the regime‘s cold-blooded
slaughter. Qum and Rasht are now
under martial law; in other cities
government troops have been
brought in by the th0usands so as to
silence the angry population.

Truckloads of armed tr00ps have
been stationed at al;m05t every
intersection in Tehran. Shah's
SAVAK (secret police) agents have
been roaming the streets in search
of "disl0yal elements“ and hundreds
of pe0ple are now in the Shah‘s
prisons and torture chambers.

These brutal measures on the part
of the Iranian regime expOSe what
Jimmy (‘a rter really means when he
tells the Shah “the cause of human

rights is one that is shared by
leaders of both our countries."

Major waves of protest engulfed
Iran beginning in November, 1977,
when the fascist Shah had an
nounced his plans for an official US
visit.

The next majOr wave of protests
took place at the time of the ('L‘»

Iran.

Events of the last few months, the
