MEMORIAL RESOLUTION
John Joseph Begin, 1921—1979

Dr. John Joseph Begin, Associate Professor of Animal Sciences
died unexpectedly on November 11, 1979.

He was born in Versailles, Ohio in 1921. After completion of
his elementary and secondary education and service during World
War II in the United States Coast Guard, he entered the University
of Kentucky where he majored in Poultry Science and received a
Bachelor of Science in Agriculture degree in 1948. He subsequently
received the Master of Science degree in 1950 from Purdue University
and the Ph.D. degree in 1960 from Pennsylvania State University.
Dr. Begin was a member of the Poultry Science Association, World's
Poultry Science Association, Alpha Zeta, Sigma Xi and Gamma Sigma
Delta.

Dr. Begin had been associated with the University of Kentucky
for more than 30 years, first as a student and since 1950 as Assis-
tant Field Agent in Poultry Improvement, Poultry Extension Special—
ist, Assistant Professor and Poultry Husbandman and Associate Pro—
fessor. His research contributions on efficiency of energy utiliza—
tion in poultry have made significant contributions to the effi—
cient egg and broiler industries throughout the world.

He taught various courses in Introductory Animal Science,
Poultry Science, Poultry Nutrition and Advanced Non—Ruminant Nutri—
tion and was considered an excellent teacher by undergraduate and
graduate students and by his colleagues who shared his teaching
responsibilities. His interest in and dedication to excellency
in teaching was evident by his participation in numerous teaching
improvement seminars and workshops on campus as well as at regional
and national meetings and his continued reorganization and updating
of his reference material, visual aids and lecture notes. He was a
dedicated and conscientious advisor of both undergraduate and
graduate students. He served as an advisor to several student
organizations as well as on numerous university, college and de—
partmental committees.

His wise counsel, dedicated service and friendly greetings to
his colleagues will be missed by the Department and the University.

The faculty of the Department of Animal Sciences recommends
that the University Senate incorporate this resolution into its
official minutes and that a copy be sent, with our deep personal
regard and respect, to Mrs. Betty Begin and their two daughters.

(Prepared by Virgil W. Hays, Chairman, Department of Animal Sciences)

Chairman Krislov recognized Professor Hans Gesund who presented the following
Memorial Resolution on the death of Professor Clinton Kelley Hoffmann.

“*MEMORIAL RESOLUTION

Clinton Kelley Hoffmann 190371980

On January 17, 1980, Clinton K. Hoffmann, a structural engineer
and Professor Emeritus of Engineering Drawing at the University of
Kentucky, died at Central Baptist Hospital where he had been hospi—
talized for several weeks prior to his death. Born on February
5, 1903 in Louisville, Kentucky, he first attended the Univer—
sity of Louisville and then transferred to the University of
Kentucky where he received the degree of B.S. in Civil Engineering
in 1926. He earned the professional degree of Civil Engineer from
the University of Kentucky in 1947.

Upon graduation in 1926, Professor Hoffmann was employed as a
bridge designer by the Kentucky Department of Highways where he
worked until 1946. In 1942—43 he took leave from this work and
was appointed as a Drawing Instructor for the Enlisted Specialist
Branch program at the University of Kentucky. He extended his
leave and continued to teach in the Army Specialized Training Pro-
gram during 1943—44. He then returned to the Department of Highways,

 

 _3_

but, due to his love of teaching, returned to the University of
Kentucky in 1946 as a Professor of Drawing and remained until his
retirement in 1968.

Professor Hoffmann was an active member of the American Society
of Civil Engineers. While on the faculty, he served continuously as
the Faculty Advisor for the Student Branch of the American Society
of Civil Engineers. In addition he was a member of Triangle Fra—
ternity and served as its faculty advisor for many years. He was
dedicated and devoted to working with students in all branches of
engineering.

He was a devout church member, being a member of the vestry of
St. Huberts Episcopal Church. He was past master of the Lexington
Lodge #1, F and AM, Oleika Shrine Temple and an active member of
the Lexington Country Club and the American Association of Retired
Persons. He was a member of the National Society of Professional
Engineers and the Kentucky Society of Professional Engineers. He
completed the requirements for professional registration early in
his career and was registered as Professional Civil Engineer Number
464 in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

Clinton was devoted to his family. He and his wife, Jane Bell,
shared many happy years together. He was equally devoted and ex—
tremely proud of his daughter, Jane Bell, and his two grandchildren,
Suzanne and Fred. His daughter is now Mrs. Donald Kennamer of San
Diego. His family life was enhanced by his love of farming. He
and his wife operated a substantial cattle breeding operation and
supervised other farming activities. His family life as well as
his teaching was characterized by integrity, honesty, intelligence,
humility and dedication.

Professor Hoffmann was a dedicated teacher who enhanced the
lives of the many students whom he taught during his teaching career.
While he worked hard all of his life, Clinton was cheerful and
witty and possessed a zest for good living and close personal family
life of the highest caliber. He will be sorely missed by his uni—
versity colleagues, students, and professional coworkers.

The Department of Civil Engineering, College of Engineering
recommends that this resolution be spread upon the minutes of the
University Senate and that copies be sent to the members of Pro—
fessor Hoffmann's family.

in MEMORIAL RESOLUTION
Ellis Ford Hartford 1905—1980

Ellis Ford Hartford, Professor of Education and first Dean and
Vice President for the Community College System, died on January 30,
1980. The University and the Commonwealth of Kentucky have lost a
loyal and dedicated educator and friend.

Born at Fordsville in Ohio County in 1905, Dr. Hartford never
forgot his western Kentucky roots. His values and his direction in

 

 life were profoundly shaped by his rural background.

After graduation from high school, he enrolled at the Univer—
sity of Kentucky where he received the B.A. and M.A. degrees. In
1942, Harvard University conferred upon him a doctorate in education.
Positions were open to him in many quarters but he chose instead to
return to his native Kentucky where he knew the people and felt a
sense of commitment.

He was a renaissance man with a keen interest in many disci—
plines and an appreciation of the great achievements of mankind in
all fields of endeavor. The breadth of his knowledge was fully
recognized by his colleagues. He was chosen to serve in top level
faculty and administrative positions in the public schools, at the
University, and at the state level. His career in education en—
compasses almost half a century.

As a professor in the College of Education in the Division of
Foundations of Education, he focused on the history of education
and moral and spiritual values in education. He was known as a
meticulous scholar, an enthusiastic teacher who could get excited
over a topic in the classroom, and an advisor of students who
followed their careers and accomplishments with great interest.

In July of 1964, the University named Dr. Hartford to be the
first administrator for the fledgling Community College System.
Dr. Hartford's vision of what community colleges could mean for
Kentuckians, his enthusiasm for the job that had to be done, his
support for faculty and staff, his interest in students, and his
loyalty to the University of Kentucky were driving forces in giving
the Community College System the solid foundation on which it is
built today.

At the 112th Commencement of the University of Kentucky, Ellis
Ford Hartford was awarded the Sullivan Medallion — ”because he
has helped countless persons make a better life by daily demons—
tration of his concerns for their individual needs."

His life touched us all and we are proud that he was our
colleague and friend.

Therefore, be it resolved that this resolution be made a part
of these minutes and a copy be sent to the Hartford family.

(Prepared by Daniel G. Tudor, Community College System)

Chairman Krislov directed that the Resolutions be made a part of these minutes and
that copies be provided to members of the immediate families. The Senators were asked
to stand for a moment of silence in tribute and respect to Professors John Joseph Begin,
Clinton Kelley Hoffman, and Ellis Ford Hartford.

Chairman Krislov made the following remarks:
”I have a number of remarks. The first is to announce the

election of Professor Wagner as faculty trustee to replace Professor
Adelstein. That will take place on July 1. I also want to announce

 

 the election of Professor George Schwert to succeed in the chair—
manship of the Council and Professor James D. Kemp to succeed as the
Secretary of the Council. Both Professor Schwert and Professor

Kemp have arrangements for the summer which they did not want to
forego so the present Chairman and Secretary have agreed to stay on
for the summer until early fall.

This is the second time it has been necessary to make some ad
hoc arrangement in the election of the Chairman and Secretary. 1
think it might be appropriate at this time for the Chairman to say
a few words about a problem which has been occurring for the past
few years. The problem is simply that the task of the Chairman is
becoming quite difficult and not many people are anxious to assume
it. With our new enlarged committee system, a great many proposals
now flow through the Council. They pass both the Council and the
Senate and, of course, we have the problem of negotiating with the
administration about the implementation of these proposals. That
is not always the most pleasant assignment in the world. It is
understandable that not many people are anxious to do that. On the
other hand, some five years ago we did alleviate any financial
burden to the departments and to the individuals who assumed this
job. As many of you know, the central administration agreed to
take on the cost of half the chairman's time for one year so that
the burden would fall on the University, instead of the particular
unit that the Chairman happened to be in. The administration also
agreed to pay the Chairman for the half—time summer assignment. So
there are some good points and bad points in the nature of the job.
Obviously, much of the work of the Senate flows through the Chair—
man, and it must be done. It strikes me that just as we ask the
people who stand for the Senate to agree to serve on committees,
it might be appropriate to ask people who stand for election to
the Council agree to consider the assignment of Chairman. We often
go to the fourth and fifth ballot to resolve elections to the
Council, so there must be a number of people who want to serve on
the Council but they hold back their desire to be Chairman. I
would also like to ask that when you vote for the Council, please
bear in mind that there are many people who show through their
participation on committees and chairmanship of committees that they
are interested in the work of the Senate. Perhaps we should he
electing these people to the Council so that we can have a more
active Council and also a Council from which we can have several
contenders for the office of the Chairman. If you have any other
ideas on the subject, I and the Council would be happy to hear from
you, but we certainly can't continue to function with the chairman—
ship being a job that many people shun.

Item two has to do with the proposal that will probably be
before this body next year. It was originally suggested by
Professor Reedy or more accurately, a student to Professor Reedy.
He mentioned it to the Council. We learned at that time that the
Student Government was exploring this as well independently. The
Council has asked the Academic Standards Committee to look into
this topic. The topic is ”the desirability of a reading period
between the close of classes and the start of final exams.” It
appears that students are saying that classes stop, exams start,
and there should be some break between. As many of you know,

 

 —6—

this is a feature of a number of liberal arts schools and the Council
would like this committee to give us an academic assessment of the
value of such a proposal. If it is favorable, we will pursue the
other implications. There are many, many implications and we wanted
first, however, to see whether we should proceed based on academic
grounds.

The third announcement has to do with the calendars. The
Council has approved the calendars for a number of years in advance
and even beyond 1984. We are in pretty good shape on that score, and
they will be circulated.

My fourth announcement has to do with the topic that has been
reported to the Senate before by the previous Chairman, Professor
Bryant, and has to do with the affiliation of this Senate to the
Congress of Faculty Senate Leaders. You will recall that Professor
Bryant reported to you in March of 1979, that we had received a
resolution from the Congress Faculty Senate Leaders asking us to
affiliate with that group. The Council at that time authorized the
Chairman to participate and to observe but not to affiliate. The
matter was not brought formally again before the Council until
February. The difficulty seems to be the same that Professor Bryant
reported to you that the Congress seemed to concentrate almost en-
tirely on non-academic matters——primarily salary and wages. I suspect
that it is well known that the AAUP has played a key role in that area
and there is some question in the Senate Council whether we can affil—
iate. We now have a constitution of that body and the Council is
studying that constitution and will probably make a recommendation to
the Senate. We will be happy to have your comments to us in writ-
ing during the next few weeks.

The last item that I have is that I want to remind the Senate
Council members that we now have the information we discussed at
the February meeting. We will meet in Room 10 of the Administration
Building after this meeting of the Senate. We will have abOut a
ten—minute meeting.

Those are my announcements. Does anybody want to address a
question to the Chair about this or any other matter? The Chair
sees no hands. We will revert to our agenda.”

The Chairman recognized Professor Daniel Reedy for a motion from the Senate Council.
Professor Reedy, on behalf of the University Senate Council, recommended approval of the
proposed change in the University Senate Rules, Section III, Course Numbering Sequences.
This proposal was circulated to members of the University Senate under date of February 26,
1980. The Chair said this came to the Senate as a motion from the Arts and Sciences
Faculty Council and the Senate Council and needed no second. The floor was opened for
questions and discussion.

 

Professor Canon said that he was curious as to why the 396 was going to be solely
for the University Experiential Education courses and 399 for the departmental courses.
The Chairman said that Professor Sands was not there and he did not specifically know the
answer, but he thought it was to differentiate between the two in facilitating the approval
process. There were no further questions. The motion passed unanimously. Dean Ockerman
asked when the proposal would be effective. He said that he would hope to get it in the
catalog for next year which would take about sixty days. The Chair said that it would
be up to the Rules Committee. The proposal reads as follows:

 

 Packground:

To facilitate advising and standardizing course numbers, the Arts
and Sciences Faculty Council made several recommendations on the
numbering of courses in the 39x sequence. The Senate Council con—
sidered and approved the following proposals.

Proposals:

1) Independent Work or Independent Study courses shall be
numbered 395. If a department offers more than one of
these courses, numbers lower than 395 shall be used.

The 396 number shall be reserved for the University Ex—
periential Education courses.

Departmental field—based experiential education courses
shall be numbered 399.

4) A further recommendation is that the catalog descriptions
of all experiential education courses include explicit
statements of need for filing learning contracts.

Note: The proposed change will be forwarded to the Rules
Committee for codification.

The Chair again recognized Professor Daniel Reedy for a motion from the Senate-
Council. Professor Reedy, on behalf of the University Senate Council, recommended
approval of the proposed addition to the University Senate Rules relative to Common
Examination, and proposed addition to University Senate Policy Statements relative to
scheduling Common Examinations. This proposal was circulated to members of the Univer—
sity Senate under date of February 27, 1980.

 

The Chairman said to facilitate discussion the Senate would consider first the pro—
posed addition to the University Senate Rules. The Chairman said that the rule merely
extended the question of clashes of common exams. Under the present arrangement we have
several exams in one day. The floor was opened for questions and discussion.

 

Professor Gesund asked if the proposal concerned exams during the course of the
semester. The Chairman said that was his understanding. Professor Gesund said in that
case the last sentence of the proposed rule did not make any sense. He moved to return
the proposed change to the Committee with the request that it be rewritten and sent back
to the Senate at the next meeting. Professor Tvey said that it was discussed in the
committee, but he didn't know whether it applied to the whole semester or just final
exams. The Chairman said that he believed it was the intent to have the rule apply to
all exams. Professor Reedy said that the item had been discussed in the Senate Council,
and it was amended by common consent, but that it was not in the final copy. The Chair
said that without objection the Council would assume jurisdiction over "A.”

The floor was opened for discussion of the proposed addition to University Senate
Policy Statements.

Dean Langston asked where the statement would be published. The Chair responded
that the statement would be published in the Policy Statements of the Senate. He said

 

 _8_

that the Senate had a dozen or so at present and had been accumulating policy statements
at a rapid pace.

Professor Buttram said that he was not sure Item B would eliminate the on—going
problem of the Wildcat Marching Band. He said he would like to request the language
be such that it did solve the problem. He said the band met at 5:00 p.m. and the mem-
bers were needed at that time for rehearsals. The Chairman said the Council was trying
to provide as wide an opportunity as possible so that students did not suffer, but he
didn't think the Committee would consider or the Council recommend any particular hour
be forbidden for examinations. Dean Langston said there were other students affected
by that policy, particularly the evening students. He said that if departments wanted
to give a common exam, Friday evening or Sunday afternoon would be a good time because
no classes are scheduled for that time. The Chair said he was sure there would never
be a perfect solution to the scheduling problem, particularly as there are some night
and Saturday classes. He reminded the Senate that this was the first time an effort
had been made in reducing the problem for the non—traditional student.

Professor Hanau wanted to know what the arguments were for not scheduling exams on
Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. The Chairman said that there was resistance on
the part of the students.

After further discussion, the policy statement passed and reads as follows:

Background:

In September l979 the Senate Council appointed a committee to de—
velop a policy "to cover common examinations that are held outside
of the regular class period." The committee's members were Frank
Buck, James Knoblett, Jean Pival, Donald Sands (chairman), and
Warren Spencer.

The committee discerned several problems with common examinations.
The most serious is conflict with other activities, which include
other courses, extracurricular pursuits, and employment. A
particular example involves members of the band who are required
to practice daily at 5:00 p.m.

Final examinations may also conflict with each other. For example,
common evening examinations are scheduled regularly from 6:00 to
8:00 p.m. on the second night of examination week for PSY 100,

ECO 260, GER 101, and GER 102. It is conceivable that a student
might be taking two of these courses. Another collision with
common final examinations results if a student is taking an

Evening Division course, for which the assigned examination period
is during examination week at the time at which the class regularly
meets.

Although it is not really a common examination problem, another
conflict results from the use of a single final examination time
for both MWF 8:00 a.m. and TR 4:00 p.m. classes; this practice is
based apparently upon the assumption that nobody would take both
early and late classes.

One more concern is that the time liberated by giving examinations
outside the regular class periods may be used to pack additional
material into a course. Expanding the content of a course in this

 

 _9m

way also infringes upon other courses and other activities, and may
be considered almost as wrong as the dereliction of missing or can—
celling classes.

These problems must be balanced against the academic advantages of
common examinations. These include the achievement of agreement on
course content, the maintenane of academic standards, and the fair—
ness of uniform grading.

The positions that the committee regarded as the extremes were

(1) to maintain the status quo, or (2) to prohibit examinations
outside of regular class hours. The committee sought a middle
ground that would retain the benefits of common examinations while
minimizing stress and inconvenience.

A possible resolution that was considered was to designate certain
hours as examination periods and refrain from scheduling classes
in those hours. Study of the present class utilization of one
such time slot (Tuesday—Thursday 4-6:00 p.m.) revealed that such
an approach would create more problems than it would solve. In
Fall 1979 the University offered 240 classes in this time period;
of these, 93 were below the 400 level and 75 were Arts and
Sciences courses with a total enrollment of 1875 students. Block—
ing out any such time for common examination would require re~
scheduling these courses into other periods, and the serious
shortage of classrooms on campus would make such reSCheduling ex—
tremely difficult. Furthermore, there is a need for classes to

be offered throughout the day, both to make it possible for our
regular students to schedule the classes they require and to meet
the needs of our growing clientele of non—traditional students.
Eliminating any afternoon or evening hours from class schedules
would impede the efforts of the Evening Division to promote its
offerings.

B. Proposed Addition to University Senate Policy Statements

 

Departmental Policy to Minimize Common Examination Conflicts:

Departments should adopt at least one of the following policies
for administering common examinations or some alternate
arrangement to be approved by the dean of the college in which
the course is given:

1) Provide a prime time course section that does not partici—
pate in the common examinations.

2) Spread each examination out over a time block (e.g,
4:15—6:00 p.m., or 7:00—10:00 p.m.) with the requirement
that no student can enter after the first student has left.

3) Give two examinations at widely disparate times (perhaps
7:00 a.m., but not the morning after the evening examina—
tion.

The Chair said that Agenda Item 3c was for discussion only. He said that for a
number of years there had been under consideration a document regarding behavioral stan—
dards in patient care. In developing the document for presentation to the Senate, the

 

 —lO—

Medical Center was able to reduce it and because it is so different in conception and
form from the orginal, the Council felt that perhaps two sessions would be desirable.
One session could be devoted to a discussion and the second session for a vote in April.
The Chair recognized Professor Bosomworth for the presentation.

Professor Bosomworth suggested the word ”standards” be changed to ”procedures”
in the Background statement of the proposal. He said that in the interim from the time
this matter was brought to the attention of the Senate, the University had seen fit to
create a Council of Supervisors for the University Hospital. The University has dele—
gated to that body the responsibility for establishing and enforcing standards with
reference to patient care. Therefore, the standards themselves would be approved and
established by the Council of Supervisors, and it would be a violation of those standards
if a student chose to appeal. Professor Bosomworth said he would be glad to respond to
any questions.

Professor Gesund asked where the safeguard was for a student to appeal. He said
there was nothing in the proposal which indicated that the student could appeal.
Professor Bosomworth introduced Professor Carolyn Bacdayan who chaired the Committee.
Professor Bacdayan said the action of the Hospital Director was not considered a
sanction. At that point the instructor in the course must deal with the student and
his need for a clinical experience. If the Patient Program Director in that particular
setting is not agreeable to having the individual back, the instructor will have to find
an alternative clinical site or impose a sanction on the student in accordance with Sec—
tion V1 4.0. The student then has the appeal for Academic Offenses as established in the
University Senate Council. Therefore, there is an appeal within the context of the
clinical course in which the student is enrolled and in which the student violated the
standards.

Professor Bosomworth said the normal process for the confirmation of a major offense
would involve the academic structure of the college. The Chairman said the problem

might be solved by rewriting the second paragraph under "e.”

A student Senator said that he would like to know more about the composition of the
Council and if there were students on it. Professor Bosomworth said that currently the
student was a senior. He said it could be a student from any of the five colleges from
the Medical Center. The Council of Supervisors are selected with the approval of the
President of the University. There are three members of the Board of Trustees and four
members—at—large, one of whom is a student, two elected faculty representatives, the
Executive Hospital Director, Dean of the College of Medicine and himself.

Professor Gesund asked if the Council would get the standards circulated prior to
voting on the proposal. Professor Bosomworth responded that he didn't believe they would
be in a position to do that, and he didn't believe procedures should be based upon content
of the standards. The Chairman said the Senate Council Office had the standards as they
were proposed two years ago and were available
