SGA requests review of Chemistry 105 grades

By ELIZABETH ('AHAS
Senior Staff Writer

The Student Government Associa-
tion Senate last night passed a reso-
lution urging the chemistry depart»
ment and the L'niversity to
reconsider the grades of students en-
rolled in Chemistry 105 during
Spring and Fall 1983

The Senate also passed a resolu-
tion at the meeting supporting Stu-
dents for a Better L'K and its idea
calling for a campus foot patrol

“The stance of the chemistry de~
partment at the University of Ken-
tucky in awarding a D or E to a vast
majority of students enrolled in
(‘HE 105 . . . is an unfair interpreta‘
tion of academic freedom while
evaluating those particular stu~
dents." said Deepak Dhawan, grad—
uate school senator.

"This Circumstance is worthy of
reconsideration. both by the faculty
in the chemistry department and the
University of Kentucky. toward Just
and fair evaluation of students per»
formance." Dhaw‘an said

Small turnout greets
meeting to discuss
general studies areas

By JUII\ \‘USKl'IIl.
Spectal Proyects Editor

The General Education Committee
held a hearing last night in the Kir~
wan-Blaiiding (‘ommons to gather
student opinion on proposed changes
in the l'niversity's general studies
curriculum

Three students attended. two were
there because a tournalism course
reqmred that they cover a campus
meeting

“I think curriculum development
is a fairly dry topic for students."
said Donald Sands. associate nce
chancellor for academic affairs and
a member of the committee “I'm
not surprised at this evening's turn-
out "

Sands pointed out that any curric>
ulum changes tfie committee recom-
mends would not go into effect for at
least two years. so many students
currently on tampus would not be
affected by the changes

John is Stephenson. director of
the Appalachian (enter and the
committees chairman. compared
the apparent lack of student involve
ment in general studies to involve-
ment in political concerns "I think
it is like political tmolvement.' he
said "People generally don't get in-
volved until a change affects them
directly By then. of course. it may
betoolatc’

'l he committee is considering sev-
eral proposals to change the general
studies piogi‘am It will share lib
findings in a report to the t'niverSity
Senate in April. Stephenson said

The committee was formed be
cause of problems in the general
studies program. Stephenson said
He called the current program a
"flasher program" _. one that
merely exposes students to various
disciplines Without giving them an
integrated understanding of the dis
Ciplines

The general studies curriculum in-
volves eight areas of study. Math-
ematics and philosophy. physical
sciences. biological sciences. foreign

languages. humanities. history. so—
Cial SCiences and behavioral sci-
ences Undergraduates must take
courses in five of the eight areas to
complete their general studies re
quirement

Last night‘s hearing was the sec»
0nd in a series of three that the com~
mittee is holding to gather the 0pm-
ions of the L'niversny community on
the general studies program At an
earlier hearing on Tuesday. 45 fac
ulty members attended. Stephenson
said That hearing produced a lot of
discussion. he said

“There is a good deal of cyniCism
_ and I think Justified cynicism ,
about curriculum revision because
the L'niversity has been somewhat
reluctant to change. " he said

Among the changes the committee
is considering is the institution of a
mandatory. integrated general stud-
ies course for all freshmen. Stephen-
son said

Thomas ()lshe'I'sk)
philosophy who attended the hear
ing. said he was skeptical about the
amount and type of course material
that could be included in such a
course

“It's not from the standpomt of
cynicism." he said "It's from the
standpomt of what you can do in two
semesters or four semesters "

Another problem that the inner-
sity' may face in attempting to insti~
tute this type of course may come
from the faculty. Ulshew'sky said
Several faculty members do not
have the skills to teach such a class.
he said

"We need not only to educate the
students at this L'niversity. we need
to educate the faculty.“ Ulshew‘sky
said

Another committee proposal con
cerns requiring writing skills across
the curriculum. Stephenson said
This would mean that some type of
writing exerCIses would be intro—
duced in seience courses such as bi»
ology or chemistry. he said

The committee will hold the last of
its three hearings today from 4 pm
to 5 pm. in the auditorium of the
Health Sciences Learning (‘enter

that there are political connotations
with this." said (.‘huck Thornberry.
