Senate proposal would abolish Saturday finals

By DARRELL CLEM
Senior Staff Writer

A Senate Council-endorsed propo-
sal to eliminate Saturday finals and
to begin school one week earlier on
certain years will be presented to
the University Senate on Monday.

According to Malcolm Jewell, a
professor of political science and a
Council member, the schedule
change would mean that classes
would begin one week earlier on
years when Labor Day falls on Sept.
3 or 4, and finals week would end
earlier to allow students, faculty and
administrators more time at home
before Christmas.

“The problem is trying to squeeze
in an academic semester between
roughly before Labor Day and
Christmas," Jewell said “Nobody
wants to get here in the middle of

August, and everyone wants to get
out before Christmas."

Classes generally begin on the
Wednesday before Labor Day, and
the problem arises “two years out of
every seven“ when, without includ-
ing Saturday in finals week, the ex-
aminations would run as late as
Dec. 21-22, a time when most stu-
dents want to be home. Jewell said.

Also, late finals would require the
registrar‘s office to be “literally sit-
ting there on Christmas Eve, waitv
ing until 5 o‘clock in the afternoon
for grades to be turned in," by Uni-
versity faculty, he said.

This year, finals will be held on
Saturday, Dec. 15, and Monday,
Dec. 17 through Friday. Dec. 20.
Only Friday, Dec. 14, declared as a
“dead day," will separate the last
day of regular classes from the be-
ginning of finals.

Keeneland institutes
new escort service

Security plan for women could spread
to entire north campus, organizers say

By ELIZABETH (‘ARAS
News Editor

The house council at Keeneland
Hall. like other groups. is concerned
that many women are forced to
walk alone on campus at night. But
Keeneland decided to do something
about it.

From 8:30 pm. to midnight on
Sunday through Thursday. Keene-
land Hall runs an escort service
where male students accompany fe-
male residents to or from campus.
Copies of an escort schedule, and
the numbers of those on call, were
distributed to all female residents
last week. Sunday was the first day
of the service‘s operation. according
to Gregory Wilborn. a Keeneland
resident adviser and a member of
the escort service

Wilborn said the idea for the serv-
ice came from another coed resi-
dence hall on south campus. It
worked for them, so they decided to
give it a try, he said.

Keith Waters, house council vice
president, has ideas for expansion.
“If we have good response we may

bring in Holmes (Hall) and
maybe have one for the whole north
campus."

Wilborn stressed that it is an es-
cort service and not a foot patrol,
“It's simply just so that some won‘t
be walking back from the library or
other places on campus like that.

“It's always a lot safer for a guy
to walk a girl home than it is to
walk home by herself," he said.
“Some say, ‘lt‘s never going to hap-
pen to me.‘ but we‘re trying to re
lieve that by eliminating that
chance."

Wilborn is confident that the serv-
ice will be a success. "i think if the
ladies use it, it will work 100 per»
cent."

Ned Benson, Keeneland hall direc-
tor. agreed but said it would take
some time before the women got
used to the service. “I think the
girls have to know the guys . . . be-
fore they trust them."

He said that he was very pleased
with the number of students that
have volunteered to help with the
service. “I think it‘s a fantastic
idea."

Many tasks await
publications adviser

By MICKEY MEI-ICE
Staff Writer

Sometimes employers ask the im-
possible.

ln seeking a student publications
adviser, the University was looking
for a person who could fill an admin-
istrative position, a faculty position.
a management posnion. and of
course, someone to advise student
journalists.

An adviser's selection committee
chose Paula Anderson, currently
news editor for the Owensboro Mes-
senger-lnquirer, to fill all those
shoes.

As SPA, she “provides advice in
editorial, business and technical
matters to editors and other staff
members of student publications,“
said Robert Zumwinkle, vice chan-
cellor of student affairs. “She serves
as a liaison between student publica.
tions, University administration and
other members of the University.

“lt is an extremely difficult job
. . . you can‘t expect any one person
to perform miracles, but we do ex-
pect to see some real progress with
her guidance and leadership.

“Hiring her is a declaration of
confidence on our part that she will
be able to learn on the job,“ Zum-
winklesaid.

Anderson said, “i know the situa-
tion. I am aware of the problems
andwould much rather go in with
myeyeswideopen.“

She said she wants to provide
leadership at UK since students
have been without an adviser for a
few months. She wants to analyze
the Kentucky Kernel's financial
problems and the Kentuckian year-
book circulation problems, then deal
with them.

“it would be very easy to come in
and disrupt things, rather than
being comtructive,“ Anderson said.
“I will try tobeconstructive.

“I‘m a little bit of a workaholic -
that's always a danger of spread-

ing you-self too "in." it's important
to set priorities, she said, and not

trytodoevu'ytlamatonce.

there are many reasons why An-
derson was chosen instead of 80
other applicants.

“One was her very strong profes-
sional competence," Zumwinkle
said, "even though she is only three
and a half years out of her under-
graduate work, she did very well at
Owensboro. She demonstrated com-
petence and maturity beyond what
one would normally expect of a per-
son her age."

“She‘s familiar with campus and
with people on campus and that
makes a difference," said Bob 0m-
dorff, associate professor of journa-
lism.

“l think she will be a good role
model for students, having grad-
uated so recently and done so well in
a short amount of time."

While at UK, Anderson was head
resident of Patterson Hall and edi~
tor-inchief of the Kentuckian year-
book; she graduated in May 1981.
She was hired at the Messenger-in-
quirer as copy editor in June 1981,
promoted to Sunday editor in Jan-
uary 1932, and to her present posi-
tion May 133.

Anderson said, “I can bring
maybe a little more empathy, since
l‘ve been a part of the system at
UK. This will help me understand
the students better."

The student publications adviser
position will be difficult but others
are willing to support Anderson.
“I'm very encouraged by the atti-
tude taken by Dr. Lambeth and the
journalism faculty in wanting to be
of assistance," Zumwinkle said.

"Professors Maria Braden and
Bob Omdorff, who have been advis-
ing in the absence of a full-time pub-
lications adviser, will continue to be
available for consultation as will 1
and other members of the faculty,"
said Edmund Lambeth, director of
the school of William.

“Profusor muck Chowim, for-
merly manager of the Daily Roman
at the University of Kamas, will be
available, not solely for corlulta-
tion, but to conduct workshops for
Kernel advertising sales pet-sore,"
Lambethsaid.

 

‘ “Nobody wants to get here in the middle of
August, and everyone wants to get out before

Christmas. ”

“This can be a problem if you
have only one day off, on Friday,
and you have two tough exams on
Saturday,” Jewell said. Finals were
last held on Saturday in 1W9, he
said.

“The change we‘re proposing to
deal with this . . . is to start classes
a week earlier” on years in which
the problem arises, Jewell said. Fi-
nals would be over by Dec. 15 under
such a proposal, he said.

Aside from time constraints, Sat-
urday finals also interfere with the

Malcolm Jewell,
Senate Council member

Jewish Sabbath, which begins at
sunset on Friday and runs through
sunset on Saturday.

According to Daniel Frank, an as-
sistant professor of philosophy and
vice-president of UK's faculty asso-
ciation on Jewish affairs, Jewish
students “would be under a hard-
ship" because of Saturday finals.
“It's a time when you think about
what you are as a Jew," he said.
The Sabbath is a time when Jews
“rest from worldly sort of activ-
ities.“

Comic Wilson, another Council

member, said her strongest concern
with Saturday finals is “that we
shouldn't have classes when it's of-
fensive to any religious group. "

Other students this year are upset
because Saturday night finals will
be held on the same night that a
basketball game between UK and
the University of Louisville is sched-
uled.

By eliminating Saturdays, Jewell
said, “It would be easier for the ath-
letics department to conform with
that."

“Anything that makes the exam
ordeal worse for the students, we try
to avoid," Jewell said.

The advantage of eliminating Sat-
urday finals is two-fold, according to
Jewell. Students would retain the en-
tire weekend to study for finals and
would also be able to leave the Uni-
versity earlier for Christmas.

Class schedules available next week

Staff reports

During the fast-paced hecticism of
the week before finals, some might
find it reassuring to know that they
can hold in their hands the proof
that there will indeed be a next se~
master.

This proof will soon be available
in the form of the schedules for next
semester which can be picked up be-

tween 9 am. and 4pm. Monday and
Tuesday and from 9 em. to noon on
Wednesday at the Student Center
Grand Ballroom, said Acting Regis-
trar George Dexter.

Staff members from the Regis-
trar's Office will be on hand to an-
swer any questions that might arise
about schedules, but changes cannot
be made until adddrop next semes-
ter.

To get their schedules, students
must bring some identification.
Dexter said a driver‘s license, stu-
dent ID or meal card would be ac-
ceptable.

Carla Curtsinger, secretary of the
Collegiates for Academic Excel—
lence, said the group will assist with
the distribution of schedules.

The University's Physical
Plant Division began clearing
sidewalks and steps across cam-
pus at about 1 am. yesterday, as
heavy snowfall which began
Wednesday afternoon continued
to blanketthearea.

Don Smith, assistant superin-
tendent of PPD pounds depart-
ment, said the early crew was
sent out to begin clearing parking
lots before commuters began to
arrive.

“it's a big help to get the trac-
tors out early — we can get it
(the snow) off the walla better,"
Smith said.

Smith said crews can usually
make the campus accessible in

' it."

 

about three hours, but “when it
continues to snow, we have to go
overthesamerouteagain."

About 67 PPD workers cleared
campus sidewalks and steps, in-
cluding areas around the Albert
B. Chandler Medical Center and
south campus, Smith said.

But the snow didn‘t affect bus
service on campus yesterday,
said Pat Hamric, general man-
ager of bexTRAN. Although
there were some ”slick spots, all
buses were on the streets," he
said. The snow “really didn‘t af-
fectthebusservice."

Although Hamric said less stu-
dents than usual turned out at
bus stops before 8 am. classes,
Awe were out there carrying peo-

Harrison Reed, director of

PPD up early to beat snow

streets and roads for Lexington-
Fayette Urban County Govern-
ment, said, “We started clearing
roads as soon as it started to
snow“ on Wednesday. “We're
still working,“ he said yesterday
afternoon.

Reed said traffic had been
flowing smoothly. “Everyone is
being careful," he said, and most
streets are “in decent shape."

The National Weather Service
is predicting partly cloudy.
continuing cold weather today.
with higlm in the middle 205. At 3
pm. yesterday, the temperature
was 12 degrees, with a wind chill
index of 16 degrees below zero.
Winds, which were gusting up to
23 mph yesterday, are expected
to be blowing at less than to
miles per hour today.

 

 

Council member Susan Belmore
said she was concerned that starting
classes a week earlier would inter-
fere with students' summer jobs,
some of which run through Labor
Day.

“My concern is that there ought to
be some creative solution to make
up an extra day instead of starting a
Week early," she said. “There are
real problems with adding an entire
week . . . to make up an extra day.“

Belmore said one solution might
be to allow students to make alter-
native arrangements with instruc-
tors to take the exams.

Tim Freudenberg, Student Gov-
ernment Association president. said
he supported the change so that stu-
dents would have an entire weekend
to prepare for finals. “It‘s what the
students are used to." he said

Exxon gifts
to benefit
Engineering

By KAREN MILLER
Reporter

The College of Engineering recent-
ly received gifts totaling $15,500
from the Exxon Education Founda—
tion of New York.

On Nov. 9, BF. Eads, president of
the Monterey Coal Co, made the
presentation to President Otis A.
Singletary on behalf of Exxon.

0f the amount, civil engineering
received $5,000: chemical. $4,500;
mechanical, $4.000; and mining en-
gineering. $2,000.

“The Exxon Foundation makes
numerous gifts to colleges and uni—
versities throughout the nation,
based on (employee) recruiting."
Eads said.

The money from Exxon was not
restricted for a specific purpose.

“Exxon gives about 40 percent of
all the money they give to higher ed-
ucation. and the selection of univer-
5ities is usually based on recommen-
dations," said Judy Griffin, UK
Director of Corporate and Founda-
tion Relations. “The amount that
they gave this year to the engi-
neering department is up from last
year."

The money was distributed on a
departmental level and can be used
for each department‘s interests,
according to Ray M. Bowen. dean of
the College of Engineering.

The department of chemical engi-
neering “receives money from some
ten companies and a good portion, in
excess of half, is diverted for under-
graduate scholarships at the junior
and senior levels," said J. Thomas
Schrodt, chairman of the depart—
ment of chemical engineering. “The
rest of the money may go for such
things as faculty travel expenses or
purchasing textbooks,“ he said.
“Exxon probably gives us the larg-
est amount of money that we re-
ceive yearly from any company.“

The method Exxon used to deter-
mine the amount of UK’s gift was
based on the number of students
that the University now has working
for Exxon.

“We now have about 25-30 grad-
uates at work for Exxon throughout
the nation and the amount of money
that we receive increases each year
as the number of graduates we pro-
vide to them," Schrodt said.

in the mining engineering depart-
ment, the money will be used main-
ly for scholarships, according to Jo-
seph Leonard, chairman of the
department of mining engineering.

“The scholarships will be a direct
grant given to students as a result of
academic achievements," he said.

Chemical leak brings varieties of death to India

By TINA CHOU
Associated Press

BHOPAL, India — The government radio said yester-
day that 1.600 people had died from a cloud of poison
gas, and doctors working around the clock to treat the
thousands of casualties said they were getting cases in
which deadly fumes had killed children in the womb.

Smoke from mass cremations hung over the stricken
city and United News of India said the death toll from
the gas leak at a Union Carbide pesticide plant had al-
ready reached more than 2,000.

Doctors reported new deatls hour by hour and work-
ers struggled to remove the bloated carcasses of am-
mals that authorities said threatened to start an epide-
mic of disease in the area.

Warren M. Anderson, chairman of Union Carbide, ar-
rived in Bombay from the United States and met with
officials of the company's Indian subsidiary to discuss
compensation for victims

Five members of a Union Carbide team — a doctor,
two engineers, a chemist, and an occupational health
expert — flew on to BhOpal, a central Indian city of 900,-
000. to investigate Monday‘s leak of methyl isocyanate
from a 45-ton underground storage tank.

They weredeniedpermisaim to enter tlieplantrwhich
had been sealed to prevent tampering with eVidence
about the leak, the United News of India said. Detec-
tives from the Central Bureau of Investigation took pos-
session of all log books and documents pertaining to
storage and releaaeofgasatthefactorynt said. '

The government’s All-India Radio said in a national
English-language broadcast from New Delhi that the of-
ficial death toll had risen to 1.600.

At Hamidia Hospital, the largest in Bhopal, doctors
said about 40 people died yesterday and there were
eight stillbirths. the news agency said. ' .

“Children in the womb had stopped kicking and bod-
ies were rejecting fetuses,” the United News of India
quoted a doctor as saying. It did not identify the doctor.

Doctors also were quoted as saying they were forced
to perform an umpecified number of abortions on other
pregnant women who had been exposed to the gas, and
were brought to the hospital in terrible pain.

They were quoted as saying traces of cyanate and le~
thal phosgene were found in some bodies subjected to
post-mortem examinations. Cyanate, formed from an
acidic salt, is part of the cyanide group.

The Washington Post, quotim police and company of-
ficials. reported yesterday that two plant employees ran
away rather than try tostem thegaa leak.

Indian newspapers and officials accused the US.-
based Union Carbide Corp. of failing to provide the
samesafetystandartbitwouldforasimilarplantin
the United States.

However, Jackson B. Browning, Union Carbide's di-
rector of health, safety and environmental affairs, said
in Danbury, Conn. that the plant was built by Ameri-
cans to the same standards as US. plants. Company of-
ficials have blamed the leak on a malfunctioning valve
in the underground tank.

Most of the victims had been given land near the
plant in a government settlement plan. Most of the dead
were children and elderly, too weak to flee or to withs-
tand the fumes.

The US. Embassy said a team of environmental and
health experts from the US. Center for Disease Control
in Atlanta had been dispatched to aid victims and as-
sess the damage in Bhopal.

Gunmen holding a hijacked jetliner at the Tehran air-
port yesterday killed at least two more passengers, in-
cluding an American official who was forced out the
door and cut down by six shots. the official Iranian
news agency reported.

The State Department in Washington said it had no
information on the slayings, which brought to at least
three the number of deaths reported since the hijacking
began Tuesday. -

State Department spokesman Jonathan Brecht did
say there was a “strong possibility" that an American
was the first passenger killed shortly after the hijackers
commandeered the Kuwait Airways flight Tuesday en
route from Kuwait to Karachi, Pakistan.

Brecht said there were originally six Americans on
the flight, including a mother and daughter who were
among 67 passengers released Tuesday. Thirty more
people were released yesterday. The American hostages
included three officials of the US. Agency for Interna-
tional Development, he said.

The Islamic Republic News Agency said the Arabic-
speaking hijackers threatened to kill more passengers
unless authorities sent a fresh flight crew aboard to re-
place the pilot and co-pilot. and the flight engineer, who
was released because of heart trouble.

IRNA said there were five hijackers, but a passenger
who was released insisted there were four. IRNA said
they are demanding the release of prisoners in Kuwait,
and Kuwaiti officials have refused to comply.

Before the man said to be an American diplomat was
shot, [RNA and Tehran radio issued confusing reports,
making it unclear whether two or three passengers
were killed Thursdav.

A NEW MATT DILLON. ..ON THE MOVE

For director Garry Marshall,
“The Flamingo Kid" is a
comedy right up his alley.

OK, smart guy! What would
you do if you were Jeffrey
Willis? It’s your last summer
before choosing between col-
lege and jobless oblivion. Now
comes a summer dream job at
the ritzy El Flamingo Beach
Club, a luxurious haunt of the
New York rich absolutely drip—
ping easy money and overrun
with beautiful girls. You rub
more than shoulders with a
gorgeous blonde coed visiting
from California, you are taken
under the wing of the Club‘s
resident “get-rich-quick" artist
and. suddenly, college is com-
ing in a very distant second.

So, in September, what will it
be? For Matt Dillon as Jeffrey
Willis in Twentieth Century

decision won't be easy.
Everyone has an idea about
what he should do with his life
— and they’re ALL wrong.

Matt Dillon takes on a role
tailored to show the talented

‘Up on the Roof’

By sco1'r WARD
Staff Writer

Bobby Hendricks is a self-pro—
claimed pioneer of rock ‘n‘ roll.

Although some might dispute him,
no one can deny that efforts of such
groups as the Drifters — of which
Hendricks was a member —— helped
transform rhythm and blues into the
more acceptable rock 'n‘ roll.

“We were the basic,“ Hendricks
said, as he sipped his vodka on the
rocks during an interview in a small
and much-traveled combination offi-
ce/dressing room/coat closet of the
Fireplace Lounge in Chevy Chase.
“We started this off," he continued.
“we came in when rock ‘n‘ roll was
at its birth." He said rock 'n’ roll
“was the same music as rhythm and
blues — just changed to rock ‘n' roll
to satisfy the media . . . clean it up a
little.

“Rhythm and blues was strictly
black music,“ Hendricks explained,
“and, ah - sounds a little better to
call it rock ‘n‘ roll.“ He said some of
the songs that came out as rhythm
and blues in the late ’405 and early
'505 had to be re-recorded as rock
'n‘ roll, “and that's the only way
those songs got to the public atten-
tion.“

Hendricks and his new group —
which has no actual name other
than “his group“ —— were playing at
the Fireplace Saturday night and
will be playing two shows nightly to-
night and tomorrow.

The Drifters got together in 1951
and hit the charts in 1952 with
“Money Honey" under lead singer
Clyde McPhatter. At that time, the
group was rounded out by Bill Pick-
ney, Gerhart Thrasher and his
brother Andrew “Bubba” Thrasher.
Other songs the group recorded in-
clude “Such a Night" and “Gone
with the Wind" —— “A lot of old
songs that we plan on reviving."
Hendricks said.

Hendricks and his group were not
reviving those songs Saturday night
however, but opted to do more fa-
miliar tunes. “We’re doing basically
the songs that the people are famil-
iar with,“ mainly songs from 1958—
1960.

Of his role as one of the artists
who gave rock 'n' roll a foothold,
Hendricks said, “I'm proud of that
position that I held and I'm still
proud of it now. I didn‘t think as
much of it then as I do now. You
know, once you get a chance to get
back and reflect upon the things that
you used to do they seem a whole lot
more important now, at this age,
than they did.“

Hendricks, a trim and healthy
looking 46, describes himself as a

“near original" member of the
Drifters.

He said that when he was 13 and
14, he used to imitate the group and
listen to their music. By the time he
was 18, he was one of the lead sing-
ers.

Hendricks said getting into the
music business “was like a gift,
man. It was something I prayed for.
Something I asked for. Something
that, ah, — like I say, it was like a
gift, it was like a prayer that had
been answered."

The Drifters, along with most
other bands at the time, were ex-
ploited to some extent, like when the
managers often took more money
than the group members got, and
there was a great deal of payola.
But Hendricks said, “Them old days
were good for the black artists —
really good. Try recording a record
today. Cost you $50,000 just to put it
together, before you get to listen to
anybody —— before anyone gets a
chance to listen to it, you just spent

He said in the “old days," a re-
cord could be put together for $15 to
$20 “and after you done it, if they
say ‘I don't like it. . . .’ “ He
shrugged his shoulders and held his

hands out as if to say “no big deal."

“Time was, when you had talent

, and a guy said ‘hey man. you
