Law students criticize their curriculum,
placement service, faculty members
By NANCY DALY
Associate Edltor
Law students heard criticism of the
College of Law‘s curriculum and
placement services policies Thursday.
Tom Bickell, third year student, said a
series of events this week have resulted in
a petition drive and dissatisfaction with
the college‘s administration.
BICKELL TOLD about 100 gathered in
the law school courtroom that law students
are disturbed that two courses —~work—
men's compensation law and insurance
law —-are not included in the spring
schedule.
He further questioned the college’s
administration‘s priorities in including

according to Dr. Adrian Von Kaam.
Van Kaam, of Duquesne University
Institute of Man. spoke to 70 people in the
chemistry physics building Thursday
night. Van Kaam is also a (‘atholic priest
and a psychology professor from Holland.
VAN K.\.\.\I defined spirituality as the

Black women
discuss struggle
for liberation
By MILLIE DUNN
Assistant Managing Editor
Personal reflections Ul tnree black
Lexington women served as the focus of a
panel discussion Thursday night on the
black women‘s role in the liberation
struggle.
The panel discussion was the final
presentation in a two-part seminar entitled
“Black Womens Roles in the Liberation
Struggle."
THE PANEL included Beverly Benton,
social planner on the Lexington Planning
Commission; ()zella Dyer. coordinator of
Community Action; and Dr. Cecil Wright,
assistant professor in the University
College of Education.
Benton led the discussion by telling how
she became personally involved in the
liberation struggle.
She said that in the summer of 1968 she
entered the home of a black family in dire
need of financial aid. The family was
watching Robert Kennedy‘s funeral. She
explained that the family was not eligible
for aid because the husband lived with his
family.
“THAT NIGHT for dinner, the family
had eaten a meal of potato chips and
kool-aid.“ she said. “I tried to tell the
(‘ontinued on page 5
self in man'
reality but to transcend it," he said.
“Man is a peculiar being ~~not fixated on
any one thing or person but on going
beyond it."
At the Institute of Man. Van Kaam said
students divide man into three different
but integrated spheres: the spirit core, the
personality and the vitality. “Out of these
the human self emerges," he said. “If one
is repressed, all kinds of troubles result."
Van Kaam also dealt with the function of
the spirit as it develops in human life. He
said when a child is born. his body
functions are most important. “There is
potential spirit, but it’s dormant ~not yet
awakened."
But when this spirit awakens, he said.
the child is filled with anxiety and fears.
“REALIZATION 0F the whole universe
implies awareness of how small a person
is," Van Kaam said. ”We try to look at it in
a more positive way *how can I fit in with
the universe, with the cosmos. How can I
feel as one with the earth?"
Van Kaam called childhood a time of
necessary repreSsion. “Defenses are built
up, and build a fundamental life style.“ At
the center of this life style is a defense
called religion, he said.
“However, this is spiritless religion —we
call it a universal neurosis," he said. “At
the Institute, we try to make the transition
from a neurosis to a way to feel at home
with the universe.“
AS A WAY of helping life to be
spiritualized, Van Kaam suggested
learning more about the arts and the
beauty of the world. “By looking at the
beauty of life. we get out of our everyday
defenses and become more aware of the
deeper meaning of life." he said.
Van Kaam said many Eastern religions
stressing meditation and withdrawal from
the everyday life help us cope with
everyday things.
Modern technology and knowledge are
also helpful. “We can use all knowledge to
help us become more free “less austere,
less tense.“ Van Kaam said. “All olir
clinical detail can now be used to find the
liberation and freedom that's eluded us for
so long,“
courses like social legislation and women
in law.
Bickell said he found out Monday that
workmen’s compensation and insurance
——courses that are essential to anyone
planning on practicing law in Kentucky
—would not be offered in the spring
semester. He added that the exclusion of
the third-year courses severely hampers
graduating law students.
BICKELL SAID 175 law students have
signed a petition asking George W. Hardy,
College of Law dean, to add the two
courses to the spring semester curri-
culum.
Several students met with Hardy
Thursday morning to protest dropping
DR. ADRIAN VAN KAAM
courses with “substantial constituencies"
and adding courses with “questionable
utility,” Bickell said. He said Hardy was
responsive to their complaints.
The courses were dropped because they
lacked the personnel and funds to teach
them Hardy said. Both are usually taught
by adjuncts —practicing attorneys hired
part-time —whom the college believed
would be available next spring.
BUT IN preparing the spring schedule
they discovered the adjunct who taught
workmen’s compensation last spring is
now too busy with his law practice to teach
this yar, said Assistant Dean Joseph
Rausch.
The attorney who taught insurance law
last summer will teach litigation skills in
the spring, he said.
Rausch said the administration under-
stood the students‘ grievances and will try
to find someone to teach workmen’s
compensation before advance registration
begins next week.
(‘L'RRENT FACULTY members have
heavy course loads and have not expressed
interest in teaching workmeii‘s compen-
sation. Hardy said.
Bickell criticized faculty members who
can‘t teach “subjects of high utility." He
also said he had nothing against courses
like social legislation and poverty law but
that more practical courses should receive
first priority.
Rausch said the administration is trying
to resist “the temptation of becoming a
pure trade school." He said the social and

Belgian prof. says corporations'
international status may affect
labor-management questions
By MIKE CUNNINGHAM
Kernel Staff Writer
How multinational status of some corporations affects management and labor
relations at the national level was the subject of a speech by Prof. Roger Blanpain.
Blanpain, director of the Labor Law Institute at the University of Louvain,
Belgium, spoke to a small crowd Thursday night in the Student Center.
"IN L'KtUnited Kingdom) and Belgium, at least up to now, multinational
corporations have had no great impact (on pre-existing management and labor
relations),“ he said.“There has been less change and innovation and more adaption
and accomodation to local patterns. They have been compelled to adapt due to strong
features of the local unions."
Blanpain said this Situation probably extends to all advanced industrial societies.
Blanpain was a participant in a recent conference on industrial relations problems
and multinational corporations held at Michigan State University.
HE SAID there was little agreement among the labor and management
representatives at the conference on the effects of multinational corporations on local
labor-management questions. Management representatives contended that
decisions regarding labor were still made at the national rather than the
international level. Blanpain said.
He added that some management representatives conceded that in decisions about
collective bargaining or strikes at the local level, management decisions were more
likely to be made at the corporations‘ highest levels.
Labor representatives contended that most decisions were made at the corporate
level. Blanpain said.
“FOR TRADE unions, the thought was internationalize of perish. The growth of
multinational corporations is turning the balance of power against them.
Multinational corporations are able to counter trade union influence by threatening to
relocate their businesses in countries where trade unions are weak." he said
He said the growth of international trade unionism is making multinational
corporations uncomfortable.
He said there has been increased communications among labor representatives
within individual multinational corporations. “They‘re trying to influence the big
union ot the parent company. and they‘ve been more or less successful." he said.

Time for review of athletic priorities
UK Athletic Director Harry C.
Lancaster did a service for the
University when he recently an-
nounced he would like to serve his
final year before retirement in an
advisory role. Lancaster‘s decision
gives this institution an opportunity to
search for a well-qualified replace-
ment who could lead UK's Athletic
Assocation into a new era of college
athletics.
Lancaster's performance as ath-
letic director has been commendable.
Earlier. as assistant basketball coach
and head baseball coach, he also
performed well. In the future he will
surely be remembered as the man at
the helm when UK reversed its
football fortunes and consequently
made this institution’s athletic
program “big time."

the "big time“ can be seen in the
expansive Commonwealth Stadium
and is emphasized by figures which
show that 1973—74 football recruiting
expenditures increased by $46,300
over the previous fiscal year —an
increase of almost 70 per cent.
Regardless of Joe Hall‘s 13-13
season in basketball or even the
failure of the last year's football team
to record a winning season, the 1973-74
Athletic Association financial report
indicates this institution‘s program is
no longer fledgling.
The long-sought dream of “going no
where but up" is here. UK
administrators, from the president’s
office to the athletic director’s office,
however. may ascend the ladder of
successful collegiate athletics by
several routes.
One choice would be to run the
athletic program as a professional
athletic franchise. This set-up would
use athletes as money-makers and
entertainers first and as students
second. A continuance of rumors
about behind-the-door and under-the-
table deals would be expected.
A second route offers this institution
an opportunity to move to the nation‘s
forefront in the area of respectable
and diverse athletic programs. This
selection would require an athletic
director of integrity, one who would
be willing to keep athletics clean to
the degree that a stop would be put to
“winning at all costs.“
Corruption follows money and when
UK’s program was on the lower rungs
of the collegiate athletic ladder
impurities were not as noticeable as
they could now become. Recruiting
corruption could easily hit UK as it
has at Oklahoma and other major
universities. The new athletic direc-
tor must be prepared to prevent this.
Many of the top adminstrators here
are avid supporters of athletics,
particularly football and basketball.
They should be cautious in choosing a
new athletic director to avoid an
over-emphasis of these two sports.
They must confront the question of
whether winning records in the major
sports are worth the sometimes shady
paths traveled to achieve them.
We think the University should
seriously examine its priorities in
athletics before selecting a new
athletic director. They should be
careful to choose a person who will
keep a tight rein on recruiting and
who will include all sports in the
l'niversity‘s drive for athletic excel-
lence.

have the government pay for the

Restless, unemployed
and trying to get out
By William Clay Sargent
I am 35 years old and unemployed.
Until recently I was a vice president
and shareholder of a major Wall
Street firm and a member of the New
York Stock Exchange. I had worked
there for thirteen years. In fact,
since I got out of college and the Air
Force I had been there. In a way it
seems like all of my life had been
spent there. By the simple act of re-
signing I have changed all that. A
man has been hired to replace me, my
seat has been transferred to him, the
water rippled and was still again.
For the last three or four weeks, ever
since my resignation became known
on the floor of the Exchange, people
have come up to me and a converse:-
tion has ensued that became familiar
and then strangely the same, as if
I could write the script for it:
“I hear you're leaving."
“Yeah, that's right."
“What are you going to do? Go back
upstairs?
“No, I’m resigning and getting out
of the business. I hope."
Incredulous looks with traces of fear
dissolving into looks of dreams. Snap-
ping back to reality:
“Well, you must hate some
what you're going to do?"
"I do. First my wife and I are going
to buy a camper and take off for a
couple of months and see the country.
Then we‘re going to come back and
see what we can do."
“Man, you've got a lot of guts. I'd
love to do it, but there's no way. i'\|‘

Dawn and The Fear.
When I got out of school and was
ready to find a job, the one thing that
was clear was that I didn't have any
idea what I wanted to do. I happened
on Wall Street because my father had
some business friends there, and it
was also not the business he was in.
I worked hard, and since I am fairly
quick and msonably intelligent, I did
well.
Over the years, my income increased
as did my standard of living. Children
came along with my acquisition of
goods and the resulting debts that
are the American Way of Life. All
this happened naturally and without
any seeming plan or thought.
The years passed and as they did
I became increasingly restless and dis-
contented. Divorce came with the re-
sultant alimony and child support. I
moved back into Manhattan from the
country and buried my unhappiness
and discontent by keeping very busy.
Work during the day and drinking,
playing and going out at night.
I didn't look back, but something
caught me just the same. One day,
after lunch, I was struck by a gas pain
that was almost unbearable. It passed
and I didn’t think any more about it
until dinner that evening when it
struck again. This time, worse and
longer. I spent the weekend fighting
the pain, and Monday I went to my
doctor who diagnosed it as an ulcer.
He called it broker‘s disease, and it
would have been simple to accept that
as an excuse. However, during the
weeks that l was on pills, diet, Maalox
and abstinence, I decided that even
though I could cure this medically, un~
less I found out what was causing it
in my head, I would probably get it
or something worse back again.
Almost two years have passed since
that ulcer attack, and they have been

Debunking the myth of the ‘Age of Leisure'
By Jerry M. Landay
WASHINGTON
Y MOUNTING aver-
sion to more than
eighty or ninety
hours of labor a
week is rooted, no
- » . - doubt, in some per-
sonality defect, or, perhaps, an un-
conscious desire to take too seriously
the greater social aim of our New
Athens. That goal, laudable and oft-
professed, is freedom from sheer toil
—the advent of the Age of Leisure.
To recall the alluring prospects:
machines to take over more of the
burdens of our backs and the sweat
of our brows, giving us time for rest,
play, self-development and thought—
the ennoblement of ourselves and our
civilization.
An entirely new enterprise, the so-
called leisure-time industry, was cre-
ated to supply the wants and needs
of this gift of time, the better to en-
rich our once-sterile and one-dimen-
sional lives.
Men felled mighty forests for ski-
runs and condominiums by the lake.
For one who could retrain himself to
function intellectually at sunrise, uni-
versity lecturers offered courses in
mind-building on early-morning tele—
vision.
We were showered—nay, there was
a cascade of skis, bowling balls,
sailboats, camper wagons, “how-to”
books, fishing ,poles, scuba gear,
crocheting needles and pottery kits,
all to the espoused end that leisure
was becoming a full-time job.
Then why, oh why, do the captains
of techno-management insist on work-
ing themselves, and us, to death—
even as they offer no work at all to
the growing ranks of the unemployed.
Medical journals have elevated work
exhaustion to the status of a major
disease. Coronary thrombosis, caused
as much by overwork and job tension
as by anything else, successfully man-
ages to vie with inflation as “Public
Enemy No. 1." Scientists have even
devised a term to describe the syn-
drome: “workaholism.”
Some days ago, I had the misfor-
tune to witness the coronary collapse
of one of our “working wounded,”
and ministered to him in an ambu-
lance as he tried insanely to struggle
back onto his feet, My friend has had
several more seizures since then, each
touched off by spurts of rage, when
the sedatives have worn off, over his
prolonged, involuntary immobilization
as his office work has continued to
pile up. “I've seen hundreds like him,”
the doctor sadly commented, as he
prepared to tranquilize the “work-
aholic” again.
awareness, both of myself and of
others. I realized how tightly I had
bound myself to my job. I bad debts
and responsibilities and most of all I
had the terrible fear. My job was in
all ways unrewarding. except finan-
cially, and yet I could see no way out.
I could go on at length about the
politics and immorality of corporate
life, but suffice it to say that the
major portion of my waking hours was
I recall, too, with disbelief the es-
sential fact of my falling-out with a
former boss, a representative of the
new techno-managerial breed.
After an unrelieved spurt of some
ninety nonstop days covering a po-
litical campaign, in which I averaged
sixteen-hour days, and acquired a low-
grade infection that refused to go
away, I asked my boss for a week off.
He rose imperiously at his desk,
loathing on his face, and said with
masochistic pride, ”You know, I
haven’t taken a vacation in ten years”.
Astonished, I said, “To each his
own.” That was the beginning of the
end.
Our misuse of ourselves has be-
come an atrocity, a form of self-in-
flicted torture in which the work ethic
gone mad has been substituted for
the thumbscrew and the rack.
The example for this uniquely Amer-
ican form of self-torture is set at the
top. Lyndon Johnson burned out his
people as though they were light
bulbs. Last year, Richard Nixon’s
Presidential doctor said that when
Mr. Nixon took off regularly on Week-
ends to Florida or California, it was
simply a matter of moving his desk
to the South or West. Gerald Ford
promised to work his people no more
than ten hours a day, with a guar—
anteed day of rest weekly. Having

spent in activities I felt were distaste-
ful and deadening.
With all my new awareness and
growth, have I found what it is I want
to do? My answer is no. And that’s
the fear that lurks inside me. I don’t
know if I'll ever find it, and maybe
the way for me is in the search and
not the destination. Maybe I’ll be able

that farsighted pledge, he leads his
staff on a not-so-merry seven-day-a-
week marathon. A key White House
staff member told me privately that
he was suffering from a case of ”termi-
nal fatigue.”
When and how can our leadership
possibly think—and think well? Sheer
hyperactivity, I suspect, may be as
much responsible for our current bank-
ruptcy of ideas as any other single
cause.
What drives some techno-managers
always to operate in overdrive? If
overwork is the order of the day,
how shall we produce the energy to
cope with the real emergencies?
Old Testament sages, who tabooed
work on the seventh day, recognized
that men cannot think, act, respond,
or perform creatively, efficiently, or
effectively when they are perpetually
tagged out. In our own day, common
sense and the Decalogue have both
gone out of style.
Suffice it to say that the Age of
Leisure is a gross deception. and the
suspicion mounts that we have ac-
quired the very characteristics of the
machinery we have built.
