Report recommendsWL
programs be moved to UK

By MIKE MEUSER
Assistant Managing Editor

A seven-year debate over funding
for doctoral programs at the
University of LouisvilieandUK may
finally be headed for resolution
because of action by the state
Council on Public Higher Education.

A staff report released by the
council this month recommended
the transfer of several science
doctoral programs from the U of L
Medical Center to UK. The report
also asked thatdoctoral programs at
U of L in Jefferson County be
restricted to programs not offered
by UK.

Last Wednesday the council
considered the report at a meeting
held in Bowling Green and set an
April 13 deadline for deciding how
many and which doctoral programs
U of L will operate.

That topic has occupied much of
the council’s time and discussion
since U of L was absorbed into the
state education system in 1970. At
that time, U of L offered its own
doctoral programs and immediate
debate arose over the question of
whether the state should support the
duplication.

UK President Dr. Otis Singletary
yesterday reaffirmed the statement
he made at the meeting last week by
saying the question involved was
“not whether U of L or UK should

have the programs, but whether this
state can afford two full-blown
doctoral programs.”

Singletary pointed out that the
state “he's not been able to finance
even one arch program," referring
to UK, and that the recom-
menda tions of the council staff are
“me recommendations which the
Council must consider during the
next 60 days."

in an interview with the Louisville
Courier-Journal last week, U of L
President James Miller said Ken-
tucky is training only 20 per cent of
the Ph.D’s needed in the state and
that the “value and importance of
Ph.D’s” is “seriously un-
derestimated,” while program costs
are “seriously overestimated.”

But Singletary said yesterday that
“he really doesn't see where the

1“

money isto come from" and that the
question '5 “a problem for the state,
andthestateneedstomakea
decision."

Singletary also said that the
problem stems from the fact that “U
of L has never had its functions in
the state educational system
defined" and that an answer could
only come “sometime in March"
(before the April 13 deadline).

The report, which was prepared
by consultarls outside the state, also
noted several programs at both
universities which require im-
provement and suggested that they
undergo further review.

The programs listed for UK were
anatomy, French, German,
geography, pharmacology and
toxicology. In the Courier-Journal
interview, Singletary said UK was

Cats demolish hapless Ole Miss

BY MARK BRADLEY
Kernel Reporter

Relying on a suffocating defense
and blistering shooting, the Ken-
tucky Wildcats destroyed the Ole
Miss Rebels 100—73 last night in Rupp
Arena.

’l‘het'ats’ 1-3-1 zone defense, which
had been a bit slow afoot in recent
games, reverted to its carly~season
form and completely shut down the
Bobs” offense. The Wildcats came up
\\ ith an incredible 20 steals, many of
which resulted in easy fast-break
baskets.

Leading the way for the Cats was
guard Lari? lohnson. who finished
with iii pa is and :ive steals.
Johnson‘s defensive play was
responsible for many of
Mississippi's 33 tumovers, as the
Label guards tell apart under
, If'ShiiiP.

'l‘lv “its? tense was as sharp as

the defense, connecting on 63 per
cent from the field. That’s the best
UK has shot in Rupp Arena.

Almost everybody on the UK
roster shot well, with Mike Phillips,
LaVon Williams and James Lee
each hitting five of their six tries
from the floor.

The contest was close for the first
14 minutes, until Williams sparked a
Kentucky outlmrst. The freshman
scored six points in a two-minute
span, his last basket coming on a
layup after a steal. That hoop put the
Cats up 32-26 and started a streak
which ended with the Wildcats
safely ahead at the half 5237.

During the intermission, karate
students put on a demonstration,
breaking concrete blocks and
boards. Ole Miss apparently fell
victim to the power of suggestion, as
they started the second half as if
their hands were made of concrete.

People attend UK for many reasons: to learn. to grow. to broaden their
horizons and to play poker. These noggin llall deninens may be calling
bluffs even now in theh' attempt to establish a Guinness record for
marathon cud-playing. Althoogh no mark is recorded, they may force
recognition if the 15 players hvolved keep going. (Jockwise. front bot-
tom are Clark Kyle. Bob Carr. George Soister. John Newhall and Ken
Dennison. They started at 7 n.ln. Friday. Jan. :1.

Shidler, Jack Givens, and Johnson
resulted in Kentucky buckets,
staking the Cats to a 5837 lead.

The game disintegrated shortly
thereafter, as the teams traded
turnovers and fouls. Williams, who
finished the game with 12 points,
tipped in a missed Dwayne Casey
free throw with five seconds to play,
lifting the Cats to the century mark
for the third time this season.

Coach Joe Hall was elated by his
team‘s performance. “This game is
what we have been looking for—we
played with alertness,

aggresiveness, and I‘ll tell you, the

dullness we‘ve been facing the past

few weeks is behind us."

Hall said the steals helped to in-
spire the Ca is, and Johnson agreed.

“Our defense was tough tonight,"
the UK senior said, “and we were
really playing the passing lanes and
anticipating passes well."

Givens’ 19 points topped the
Kentucky scoring. In addition to
Johnson’s 18, James Lee had 14,
Shidler and Williams 12 each and
Mike Phillips. 11. Ole Miss was led
by John Stroud‘s 22. .

Werewolf habitat
not limited to TV

By KIM YELTON
Kernel Staff Writer

As children, crouched in front of
the TV watching Saturday afternoon
horror movies, many of us sat on the
edge of our seats as we watched a
werewolf stalk a cemetery or small
village hunting human flesh.

Dr. Richard Banta, resident in
psychiatry at the Med Center, not
only knows the stories, he has

treated patients who imagined they -

were werewolves at least one time in
their lives.

Werewolves, or lycanthropes as
they are also known, imagine they
grow animal hair on their hands and
other parts of their body.

Banta said one patient told him he
went out to live in a tree for three
days and chased wild rabits.
Another said he roamed in
cemeteri$ at night howling at the
moon.

Lycanthropes, now a rare
phenanenon, were quite common
from the Middle Ages to about the
17th century, Banta said. “Roman
Catholic priests served as exorcists.
Their duty was to treat the lycan-
thropes.”

The disorder was so widespread
that thousands were executed for it.

Most cases were probably a
reaction from drug, Banta ex.
plained. During that time the drug
Belladona (italian for beautiful
woman) was taken for cosmetic
purposes.

"it dilates the eyes,” he said.
“Durirg the Berraissance, wanen
were carst beautiful if they
haddilahedeyeeSotheywouhlchcw
leaves tlnt contained the drug."
LSD, marijuana and ophm can she
produce the dehnion, he sold.

Drugs can cause delusion

Banta said one patient‘s delusion
resulted from a paranoid
schizophrenia triggered by LSD
trips. The person had a preoc-
cupation with the occult, Banta
recalled. "When he was in high
school in Appalachia, he wrote a
paper on the occul ." After that his
interest increased and he began to
experiment with more witchcraft
devises.

While ire was serving in the Army,
be imagined he was a werewolf.
“lie told me other people also knew
he was a werewolf," said Banta.
After a year’s treatment for that, he
was hater discharged from the Ar-
my.

Halucina tions can be avoided with
medication, Banta said, but they are
not the only cause of lycanthropy.
One patient’s delusions resulted
from a neurological d'morder that
Banta and other physicians at the
Med Center were never able to
diagmse.

“lie woukl stop shaving during a
full moon," Banta recalled. “That’s
when he would go wandering
through a cemetery howling at the
moon."

Freida Surawicz, chief of
psychiatry at the VA hospital on
campus was Banta’s supervisor
when he was treating the men.
Some students she treated at
Student Hulth Service “had done
trips on hallucinogenic drugs," the
said. ”They felt they were turning
kito animah."

Despite these uses, Dante says
the werewolve syndrome b very
rare. “When people become
psychotic, they tend to meet the
expectations of peers in their
culture."

already moving to improve the
programs mentioned by the con-
sultants as needing improvement.

The report abo rated UK's doc-
toral programs as “generally
satisfactory to excellent in quality"
while pointing out some problems
with U of. Us relatively new
programs.

1f the council adopts the recom-
mendations, it would be the most
dramatic move the body has made
toward defining the separate roles of
the two institutions. .

A decision is likely by the April 13
deadline since the 1978-80 university
biennium budget recommendations
will be due in the next few months.
The council sets the guidelines for
university requests, then reviews
them before making recom-
mendations to the governor.

Britain's shuttle diplomacy to
achieve a settlement between
Rhodesia's white minority and
the black majority failed yester-
day. Prime Minister lan Smith
rejected British proposals for a
transition government leading
to black rule in 14 months and
told Bhodesians he did so be-
cause they allowed for immedi-
ate control of the country by a
“Marxist indoctrinated minor-
ity."
