Ca mpus Leaders Propose Reform

In Student
By KENNETH GREEN

Assistant Managing Editor
Student leaders and faculty
advisers representing 57 of the
University's 178 organizations
met Saturday at Carnahan House
and voted to study proposals for
a new student governing body.
The consensus of the students
present at the meeting was that
"there is a definite need for reorganizing the campus organizations."
Steve Beshear, president of
Student Congress, moved that
the leaders form a committee to
investigate various proposals for
establishing a stronger student
government that would be a voice

Self-Governi-ng

for a larger percentage of students.

It was decided after some de-

bate to compose the committee of
the members of the Student Life
Evaluation Committee, the Centennial subcommittee which sponsored the organizations conference, plus six others.
Members of the Student Life
Evaluation Committee are Mike
Stanley andKathy Kelly, cochair-meBetsy Clark, Raymond Davis, and Sandy Smith.
The other six members appointed to serve on the new committee are Ben Williams, Dick
Marsh, Carolyn Cramer, Sandy
Brock, Larry Kellcy, and Sarah
Prather.

The conference Saturday was
opened with comments by Dr.
John Douglas of the College of
Commerce and Dr. Eugene Evans
of the Department of Political
Science.
Dr. Douglas warned the group
that there are "two dangers in
organizations and there are key
questions to ask yourself in dealing with organizations."
He listed the dangers of organizations as "institutionalization
and presumptivitis."
In institutionalization, he said
"people become the slave of the
organization." The remedy to this
is to "build in a review period" to
determine if the organization has
outlived its usefulness, Dr. Douglas added.
The second danger, presumptivitis, is "the assumption that
everyone wants to participate" in
organizations. Other presumptions he warned against were
that every one wants to particithat
pate in decision-making,

"what's good for me is good for

everyone else," and that autois bad.
cratic decision-makinKey questions he asked were:
g

A

"What is the problem and is
organization the solution to the
problem?
"What objectives are you trying to reach?
"What assumptions are necessary for a solution?
"What is expected of subordinates and do they know their role?
"Have you made plans for a
countervailing power group, for a
system of checks and balances?
"Is there a logical flow in the
classification among groups?"
Dr. Evans addressed the group
on the identification of goals, and
said that "organizations have to
have a constituency to drum up
support for it."
"In a multiversity," Dr. Evans
said, "there may be disagreement
of the goals among the students,
but we shouldn't seal the fate of
any organization here today.
"Students have stakes in organizations for prestige reasons
and they are motivated (to join
them) often by personal goals.
"If you decide to change the
organizations on campus significantly, you ought to plan for ways

Dickey Hall, the new College of Education building, will
be dedicated Thursday.
The building is named for Dr.
Frank G. Dickey, University president from 1956 to 1963. Dr.
Dickey resigned the UK presidency to become director of the
Southern Association of Colleges
and Schools. He will move to
Washington, D.C., this summer
to assume duties as director of the
National Commission of Accrediting.
Prior to assuming the UK presidency, Dr. Dickey served six
years as dean of the UK College
of Education. When appointed
dean, he was at the time the
youngest dean of a major college
in the United States.
Also on March 11 the UK College of Education history will be
off the UK press and ready for
distribution.
The day's activities will begin
at 10 a.m. with a convocation in
Memorial Hall and an address by
Dr. Dickey. His subject will be
"Some Priorities of Higher Edu-

cation."

* To Aid Freshmen

More than a month ago a proposal was brought before Student
Congress, suggesting the establishment of an academic assistance
program for freshmen. It has remained buried in committee.
This program would assist freshmen in academic areas seemingly
beyond their capabilities. It would

be a voluntary program, hoping
to create a higher degree of scholastic excellence among members of
the freshman class.
The academic record of past
freshman classes would indicate
that a program of this type is definitely needed. During the last
four years, the percentage of freshmen on probation has never gone
below 45 percent, and it has been
as high as 80 percent.
Work review sessions with departmental majors and tutoring sessions are two of the possible ways
in which the assistance could be
given. In addition, the establishment of organized subject discussions in which students could meet
in small groups with students more

Gaullcfingcr

advanced in a particular subject
were suggested in the original pro-

cp

'pi

posal.

students coming to the University do not have an equal academic background. The methods
suggested in this proposal would
help to equalize students in the
basic training they need in order
to do university work.
Student Congress is not asked
by the proposal to assume the
responsibility for carrying out the
entire program alone. It is merely to assume one of its original
functions, that of coordinator of
campus organizations in the attainment of academic and extracurricular achievement.
The residence halls, departmental clubs, AVVS, and honoraries are
all capable of assisting Student
Congress in establishing this program and insuring its success.
We strongly urge that Student
Congress bring this proposal out of
committee and accept a part of
the responsibility within its power.

Grading System Study

Is there a problem with today's
grading standards? Is the current
system of giving letter grades the
best system available? Does the

current system motivate the student
in the most desirable facets of education, or are students just studying to get grades to satisfy social
pressures?

These are questions that currently are bothering the nation's educators. Many solutions have been
suggested and very few tried. However, a few institutions of higher
learning are experimenting with
new and daring innovations to the
traditional grad system.
Last fall California Institute of
Technology at Pasadena announced
that incoming freshmen would be
part of an experiment in grade
standards revision. The experiment,
which will be conducted two years,
will be unique in the fact that no
grades will be issued and all that
the student will receive at the end
of a semester is a statement telling
whether he passed or failed a specific course.

Faculty spokesmen at Cal Tech
have said that although no grades

would be issued, there would be
no less home work, class tests or
midterm examinations than before,
and that this work would help
determine whether students pass
or fail.

Carleton College of Northfield,"
Minn., just recently has announced that they are adopting a similar
plan.
The reasons for the experiments
are varied. Primarily, a method to
reduce pressure on students to chase
after high grades is sought. Pressure
to get top grades might be deterring
students from taking courses they
would really like to take, because
of fear of low grades.
Although, these experiments
seem far out, administrative officials at other universities would
do good to examine the results
closely, to determine whether or
not a change should be made in
their systems.
A major revolution in educational grading systems for colleges
and universities is possibly becoming a reality. It may be closer at
hand than many people think.

Readers Sound Off On Gooperstown Housing

To llie Editor of the Kernel:
"The creed which accepts as the foundation of morals, Utility, or the Greatest
Happiness Principle, holds that actions are
right in proportion as they tend to promote
happiness, wrong as they tend to produce
the reverse of happiness."
John Stuart Mill
The "greatest good for the greatest
number" principle is a very acceptable,
rational idea; especially as it applies to
the Cooperstown directive. I would, however, appreciate the opportunity to offer
some further suggestions relative to this
housing issue.
It seems a basic assumption that existing university housing should be utilized
to accommodate the "greatest number" of
university personnel. There is only a need
to define "greatest number." This has
been established by the sacrificing of 238
Cooperstown residents to house 1,021 new
students. This presents a working ration
of four to one, whereby judgments concerning housing facilities may be made in
favor of the "greatest number."
There is no logical reason for stopping
with Cooperstown in an effort to provide
adequate housing for students in the category "greatest number." This is especially
true when so much of the housing space
is being wasted; for example, the President's residence, now accommodat
