Students’ grading faculty
sparks debate in Council

By DEBBIE MCDANIEL
Kernel Stall Writer

Disagreement over English
Professor Michael Adelstein‘s
report on teacher evaluations
divided the Senate Council Wed—
nesday and led to discussiom con-
cerning UK‘s teacher evaluation
policy.

The arguments initiated by
Adelstein's report dealt with the
value of the evaluation policy that
has students submitting teacher
evaluations at the end of each
semester.

While Adelstein said student
evaluations are valuable when
judging an instructor’s teaching
ability for contract renewals,
several Council members disputed
this view. One member, who wished
to remain anonymous, questioned
the legitimacy of the evaluations
and called them “a tool in the hand
of the administration."

Andher member criticized the
policy became many students never
see the results of their evaluations.
“I feel thatthe student evaluations
have really deterioated,“ a member
said. citing as an example the
student dissatisfaction when poorly

“today

evaluated professors receive tenure
while highly evaluated professors
aren‘t rehired.

The debate was resolved by a
motion which sends the high-priority
item to the Teaching, Learning and
Advisory Senate Committee.

In other business, the Senate
(‘ouncil heard a transferability
report from Stephen Langston.
assistant vice-president for con-
tinuing education. His report per-
tained to the two Options students
have when transferring coursework
from unaccredited community
colleges towards a UK degee.

For one. students can submit their
course transcripts to the ap-
propriate UK college where it is
judged by the faculty for ac-
ceptability.

Secondly, passing special college-
level exams, such as CLEP, enables
students to receive credit for classes
taken at schools other than UK. This
includes unaccredited UK com-
munity (oileges. Credits from ac-
credited community colleges are
accepted by UK's departments
without transcript or special exam.

Rounding out the session were:

reason for Student Advisory (‘om-

'A different game’

Reserves help sink FSU

By HDB STAUBLE
Assistant Sports Editor

“The play of our reserves shocked
Florida State," said UK head coach
Joe Hall. “It broke down their poise.
And once we changed the tempo, it
was a different ball game.”

Changing the tempo was the whole
point behind Hall‘s insertion of hand-
picked “shock troops" to reverse a
fruitless first-half performance and
give Kentucky a 85-76 win against
FSU in first-round action of the
NCAA tournament.

The troops, forwards LaVon
Williams and Fred Cowan and guard
Dwane Casey, started the second
half alongside regular guard Kyle
Macy and center Mike Phillips with
a 39-32 disadvantage.

Hall was visibly upset over his
team‘s slump in the first half against
a very quick Florida team. But the
sixth-year head coach was relieved
after the secOnd-half starting five
made up the deficit.

The win advances UK to Dayton,
Ohio for a Thursday night contest
against Miami of Ohio. The Red-
skins were an 84-81 upset winner
over defending national champion
Marquette in another first-round
game.

Amid the cheering of UK fans and
Knoxville natives, UK opened the
game with guard Truman Claytor
hitting a 15-foot jump shot.

FSU‘s Harry Davis countered with
a free throw, and teammate David
Thompson added a fivefooter from
the baseline for a 3-2 lead.

For better or worse

Mason show almost

By J ENNII-‘ER GREEK
Kernel Staff Writer

Dave Mason and Bob Welch are
both rock stars onstage. Mason is
professional, Welch is polished.

Together, they sold out concerts at
Kent State University and in Cin-
cin nati. Days later, the pair arrived
in Lexington and played to a less-
than-capacity crowd of 3,000 in a
concert that almost wasn't.

An attendance of 6,500 would have
been necessary for the Student
Center Board Concert Committee to
break even.

Mason and Welch were popular
with the UK audience, but many
people backstage felt diffferently.

Initially, the committee hadn’t
been able to agree if Mason and
Welch would sell. After much
discussion, it was decided to go
ahead with the concert. The
headaches had only begun.

Before, during and after the
concert, Mason’s show revealed
itself to be one of the most
mismanaged on the road. Welch
added to the confusion by blowing
his artistic cool prior to the concert
in a minor dressing room problem.

By evening’s end, committee
members began to wonder if it had
been worth everything they’d done
to bring. the two performers to UK.

Negotiations with the two had
been tough from the beginning.

“Their agents kept upping the
price on us." said Jeff (Bo)
Bojanowski, committee co-
chairman. “When we finally settled
on something, Welch refused to open
and we had to throw in an extra $500
for a third grOUp. Clover." The
group never played.

“Fortunately, we never had to pay

 

the $500 for Clover," said
llognowski. “Mason got rid of them
after their second show together. We
heard later that they (Clover) were
the worst band to ever come out of
Southern California," said
Bojanowski.

The stars nearly played as much
as Clover.

By Tuesday. the day of the con-
cert, Bojanowski’s crew knew they
weren't going to sell enough tickets
to break even.

Ticket sales, however, were not
the maor problem of the afternoon.
The trucks carrying instruments
and equipment broke down 70 miles
nm‘th of Cincinnati. Efforts to repair
them were unsuccessful.

Seven hours prior to the concert,
Mason and Welch were 150 miles
away from their guitars and the
committee could not do anything
about it.

Finally the trucks were fixed and
made it to Lexington, where the SCB
crew got Welch’s group on stage in
record time.

“It took a lot of busting ass," said
Bojanowski, “but we did it."

But the troubles had not ended.
While artists are notoriously
demanding and temperamental,
Bojanowski said most of those he
works with are “pretty decent."
Welch proved to be different.

“Welch and his people got a little
pissed off because they couldn't get
any electricity to their dressing
rooms to heat soup and stuff," he
said. “We finally found some ex-
tension cords in the Student Center
and they calmed down, presumably
with no hard feelings."

But, the worst problem - shared
by everybody backstage, including

The Seminoles. showing no
respect for top-ranked UK, raced to
a iii-14 lead and still clung to a 24-23
lead when Claytor connected on a 20-
footer with 7:36 left in the period.

The roof fell in during the next
four minutes as FSU outscored
Kentucky 123-4 for a 37-27 lead.

Forward Harry Davis and reserve
guard Mickey Dillard paced the
Seminole rally with two buckets
apiece.

A brief run by Kentucky cut the 10-
point deficit in half, but FSU center
Murray Brown dunked a missed shot
by guard Eugene Harris to put the
Seminoles ahead by seven as the
buzzer sounded.

In the locker room. the Wildcats
spent a lot of time listening to Hall.

('ontinued on page it

wasn’t

Mason was Mason‘s personal
manager, Terry Satcher.

“Mason‘s pe0ple told us to just
ignore him, but this guy made that
hard to do," said Bojanowski.
“Satcher knew absolutely nothing
about nothing and did nothing.
Everyone else had to take up the
slack for him.”

In spite of its pitfalls, the Mason-
Welch concert came off. While not a
financial success, it was a hit with
the crowd and “that‘s what counts,"
said Bojanowski.

Some have suggested the reason
this concert and other recent ones
haven‘t sold out is because
Lexington is suffering from “acute
conceritis.“

Bojnowski agrees. “Lexington's
had four shows in the past 10 days
three of them at Itupp Arena.
They're clearly overestimating the
buying power of this area. llupp is
losing money too; just look at the
poor attendance at the Waylon and
Willie and the EmerSOn, Lake and
Palmer concerts."

Bojanowski said the SCB concert
committee would like to work
something out with ltupp, but so far
the people there haven‘t wanted to
cooperate.

He admitted that SCB lost money
on Mason and Welch, but said it isn‘t
anything it can‘t handle.

“We'll finish this year out with
double the amount of money we
started with. Still, we‘re going to
have to reevaluate our program-
ming and come up with an alter-
native approach that will enable us
to compete with more financial
success."

The committee feels it has the sell
out problem licked with its next
concert. Randy Newman on April 11.

On allowing tennis match

Vandy decision was

disagreeable opinions available to their
students. Students’ consideration of personal
values and attitudes should be made in a climate
of free debate, not an ideological vacuum.

Several groups who apparently believe that
the ends justify the means are protesting the
decision of Vanderbilt University to host the
South African tennis team in the Davis Cup

North American zone finals.

Large organizations like the NAACP and small
local groups have decried the decision, claiming
that it endorses the apartheid policies of South

Africa’s segregationist society.

But Vanderbilt President Emmett B. Fields
has maintained that the school is obligated to
allow the matches to be played, because of the
school’s “opal forum” policy. Fields, who has
met with representatives of the protestors, said
he could see no difference between allowing the

South African tennis team on

bringing in controversial or unpopular speakers.

Vanderbilt is to be conyatulated for upholding
that position. Universities should be able to
tolerate more than one political philosophy, and

Ad a cheap shot

As a concerned citizen of the state
of Kentucky, 1 question the motives
for the gross misrepresentation off
the facts presented in the Kentucky
Soft Drink Association‘s ad-
vertisement in support of HB 253
which appeared on the back page of
the Kernel on Thursday, February
23.

The advertisement was a “cheap
shot” at the preponents of the so-
called “bottle bill" who represented
the desires and wishes of the people
of this state and not the special in-
terests that would profit from the
passage of HB 253.

It also amazes me that the Ken-
tucky Soft Drink Association could
be so concerned with Kentucky’s
litter problem after glorifying the
use of throwaways for so many
years.

House Bill 253 attacks the litter
problem from the wrong end.
Essentially. it allows pe0ple to litter
but uses taxpayers‘ money to rid the
roadsides of trash and the senseless
waste of p‘ecious resources. In-
stead, the litter problem should be
attacked at the source, by en-
couraging the use of non-throwaway
containers.

Therefore in an appeal to the good
jidgement I ask you to reconsider the
true motive that the soft drink in-
dustry may have for supporting
“The Kentucky Litter and
Beautification Act.“

It makes more sense to cut down
on the source of litter than to pick it
up from roadsides, parks and
streams. Please urge your

HB 253 redux

The ,full page advertisement
placed in the Feb. 23 Kernel by the
Kentucky Soft Drink Association
(alias Coca-Cola Bottling Co.)
publicly unveiled the beverage in-
dustry‘s newest weapon in their
campaign against the “bottle bill.”

The ad, filled with typical industry
untruths and half-truths, promoted
the virtues of House Bill 253, the
"Kentucky Litter and Beautification
Act." as an alternative to the “bottle
bill."

Anyone taking the time to read
the “Impact of Litter" and its up-
date, prepared by the Kentucky
Legislative Research Commision
could easily point out the fallacies in
the advertisement. The claim that
the Oregon “bottle bill" reduced
litter in that state by only 10.6
percent is as ridiculous as the in-
sinuation that beverage prices are
higher in Oregon because of that bill.
Studies of the Oregon experience
show overall litter reductions of Over
40 percent prices comparable to
surrounding states.

In addition to the fallacies, the
advertisement failed to mention the
most important points of the “bottle
bill." Not only will there be a
reduction in litter, but also reductins
in solid waste and conservation of

policies, and should not be penalized for them.

Politics has brought carnage and ruination to
athletics before. In the Olympic games during
the last decade, athletes were kept from com-
petition and even murdered because of the in-
trusion of governments and political extremists.

That’s a long way from the protests against the
Davis Cup matches at Vanderbilt, but any effort
to make a connection in this country between
politics and Sport is something to be lamented.

because of unsuitability in length, grammatical
errors, or libelous statements. All letters and
commentaries become the property of the Kernel.

The best-read letters are brief and concern

on the non-political arena of athletics is
depressing. The competitors on the South
African tennis team (which includes one black
player, who is also a Vanderbilt student) are not

energy and natural resources.

Since House Bill 253 does not deal
with these points, a comparison of
the two bills should show that they
are better suited as compliments
instead of alternatives.

Bep. Fitzgerald, sponsor of House
Bill 253 clearly wrote into the
language of the bill that it is not
meant to be a substitute for the
“bottle bill." Someone must have
cut that part out of all the copies
distributed to the beverage industry.

Ticket blues

Last Sunday while waiting outside
memorial Coliseum for basketball
tickct distribution to begin, I
realized that something must be
done to open the Coliseum concourse
before 8 am, as is done now, on
distribution Sundays. Students that
choose to come early for the few
lower-level seats offered to us by the
l'niversity needlessly suffer in the
cold.

We know the University an-
ticipates early crowds by virtue of
periodic control card handouts that
start as early as nine hours before
the doors are open. Thus, ad-
ministrators are already involved
from prior to midnight until the
completion of the ticket distribution.
()ne authority with several student
volunteers could easily handle our
relatively docile crowd.

Obviously. the administration is
satisfied with the current system -
and why not? They don‘t have to

the initiative be10ngs to the students
and particularly the Student

The SG could provide volunteers,
possibly from the ranks of our own
student senate. Any nominal ex~
pense that opening the concourse
earlier would cause could also be
paid by the SG. As for the extra
trash brought in by the crowd for the
extended stay inside, bring a few
garbage cans inside, too.

The administration would like to
discourage early crowds, but to do
this they would have to discourage
the team from winning. it seems

Band's dream fails

Foghat takes a fast ride via Lexington

By NELL FIELDS
Assistant Arts Editor

“Come on and take a slow
ride. take it easy..."

The Friday night ride
wasn‘t slow enough. Elevei
thousand Foghat fans had
barely gotten into Rupp
Arena when Foghat decided it
was time to take a trip of their
own.

 

review

Their little trip, —- a paltry
45 minutes of stage time —~—
came off as a tiitiIe attempt
to l'ulfill the British rock
band’s; dream of becoming a
pure American rock and roll
band.

Something was missing
from their performance.
Foghat failed at being
genuine. They had good in-
tentions but the typical
British flavor was still there

in the ear-shattering volume.

Lead sing: and guitarist
Dave Peva‘ett did his thing
by going full force into every
song, but for a moment he
forgot why he was in
Lexington and became a
living example of his
nickname “Lonesome." His
stage prescence gave the
impression that he was trying
to steal the show. The rest ol
his band looked like studio
sidemen, content to sit back
and watch him act.

Rod Price and Craig
MacGregor, the other
guitarists, were in there
helping Peva'ette make his
point cvay once and a while.
But the only real time when
Foghat was a group was on
those memorable three part
songs such as “My Babe."
Drummer Roger Earl was
hanging away and Peverette
occasionally danced up to his
drum platform and smiled.
[teal cute.

Essentially what Foghat

did to their listeners Friday
night was the same thing that
the goldminehungry ‘499rs
did exploit.

This exploitation began
with “Fool tor the City.“
F‘oghat's hit from their gold
album of the same name. The
band llailed away at their
arrangement of the song,
sticking pretty much to their
original studio lines,

The crowd was responsive
to this entrance, to say the
least It was hard to tell,
however. whether they were
glad to see Foghat. or just
rcleived. After the gutter
performance of back-up band
Point Blank, any music would
have done. tinfortunatly the
rest of the evming was just a
bit over-done.

Undoubtedly Foghat's
Lexington fans were not
aware of what the group once
had to offer. The crowd was
too wrapped up in having a
good time to realize that
Foghat has lost its llair.

This is a characteristic of
