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:

a A motion to determine the
reason for Student Advisory (‘om-

mittees‘ inconsistent performance
in some UK colleges.

A motion passed to streamline
or reevaluate the University
Senate's Committee structure was
sent to the Ad-Hoc Committee.

examine the value of intimate small
college graduation ceremonies
versus UK's large graduations.

'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.

TlII-Z STATE'S NEW environmental chief said yesterday
that he told Gov. Julian Carroll before accepting the post that
"i am peculiarly insensitive to pressure."

In a reference to state Democratic Chairman Howard
"Sonny" Hunt, Eugme Mooney. sworn in Saturday as
secretary of natural resources and environmental protec-
tion, said, “I was not given to understand that Sonny is en-
titled to any special favors."

Hunt‘s political demands on bdialf of coal operators
reportedly played a part in the resignation of Robert Bell.
Mooney's successor Bell resigned after Carroll publicly
reprimanded him for exceeding minimum federal standards
in the state's proposed strip mining law.

...\ socI.\i.isr.covi.\ii'sisr ALMANCE challenging 20
years of conservative Gaullist rule was winning a slim
popular majority in the first round of French legislative
clm'tmns

The combined left was given just over 50 percent of the vote,
short of pre-electoral opinion poll predictions. The ruling
center-right coalition was projected to be winning 45-46
percent.

Analysts said the leftist bloc would need solid support from
minority parties. such as ecologists and extreme leftists, to
turn a narrow popular victory in the first round into a
parliamentary majority in the second.

A leftist victory after the second round would bring
Communist ministers into government for the first time
since World War II. jeopardizing U.S.-French relations.

ISRAEL'S MILITARY COMMAND said yesterday it had
accounted for all 11 Arab terrorists involved in the bloodiest
raid in lsrael‘s history. It halted a massive hunt for possible
guerilla survivors near Tel Aviv and lifted a curfew in the
area.

A military spokesman said nine of the terrorists were
killed and the other two were captured,

He reported at least 32 Israelis were killed and 72 were
wounded in Saturday's terror rampage —most of them
sightseers on a tour bus hijacked by guerillas.

Prime Minister Menachem Begin said the ”architects of
the hloodbath cannot enjoy impunity,“ suggesting possible
retalitation.
