Faculty slated to receive salary increase

By Sl'SAN ENC-LE
Kernel Staff Writer

An 8.5 per cent salary increase for
University faculty is probable. President
Otis A. Singletary said at a University
Senate Council meeting Monday.

Singletary stressed to the 11 (‘ouncil
members. however. that the figure is
tentative and must be agreed upon by
l'niversity deans.

"There could be changes still.” he said.
"We have only sent out a budget call for an
8 5 per cent increase "

Singletary' said the salary increase
would "wipe out the small reserves" held
by various l'niversity' colleges,

’l‘ti \l.l.l~I\l.\'l‘E the salary increase.
.s‘mgletary said the l'niversity would have
to cut back on services These include
utilit1es heating and lighting and
cleaning services “We may have to cut
the services in half." he said

“People must be aware of the fact we
understand we're creating an undesirable
atmosphere." Singletary' said. "But the
most compelling need on this campus
today is a salary increase. and we hope to
move further along that line.” Singletary
noted the proposed increase would not
keep up with the inflation rate. but follow
behind it as closely as possible.

With a little help...

The Council members agreed that the 8.5
per cent figure might be misleading. “It‘s
the salary pool that gets the 8.5 increase."
said Dr. William Wagner. chemistry
professor. “There are promotions and
new appointments to be taken into ac
count."

DR. STEPHEN l)l.\('lll'7\'. plant
pathology professor. observed that 8.5 is
average “Some people get eight. some
get nine not everybody gets 85 "

Nearly all of the (‘ouncil members
agreed the vanous salary increases would
not be based on merit

Dr. Joseph Krislov. Senate t'ouncil
chairman. then Introduced the subject of
student grade confidentiality Dr Betty
ltudnick. chairman of the student affairs
committee. repeated the much-discussed
question of “Whether residence halll

Providing the help was Jon Dalton Sr..

director of the Human Relations (‘enter at l‘K.

“misidence halls are proper places for
academic advising "

The committee decided grades should be
made available to six groups: the in-
structor who gave the grade; the student
and his parents (the latter under proVision
of the law 1; the office of the registrar; the
dean and assistant dean of students; the
dean of academic affairs. and the
student's adviser.

lir Michael E Adelstein. English
professor. questioned the withholding of
grades from otherteachers. "It is possible
that others might have official business
involving the grades." said
“Sometimes I need A("I‘ scores in my
freshman English classes " He felt he
should have access to the grades because
he found it too difficult to ask each student
for his score

"’I'lll‘iltll .\H E I’HUH.\HLY half a dozen

grades." Adelstein said ltiachun noted
that departments often know

access. and

THE NEXT Sl'liJEt'T discussed was
whether correspondence courses should be
counted if they made up the last 30 credit
hours at the l'niversity.

Earlier. the Senate (‘ouncil decided none
of the last 30 hours could be correspon-
dence courses.

The purpose of the restriction. Wagner
said. was to prevent students from at»
tending another institution until their last
few courses. then taking correspondence
at its and claiming a degree from the
l'niversity

“IT'S l)lS(‘U\'l‘l-IRTI.\(£ Tt) find
students w‘hodon't ever have a [K teacher
in a classroom." Adelstein said Wagner.
however. noted the work is eqUivaIent
”pl‘t)\1(l(’d we screen the teachers."

Adelstein and Rebecca Westerfield. a
secondyear law student (‘ouncil member.
objected to keeping the Zitivhour restriction.
saying specific situations might make it
untair. Adelstein said married women‘s
husbands might be transferred away from
Lexington and they would be faced with an
incomplete college education and no
chance to complete it at l'K.

The ('ouncil voted to keep the 30~hour
clause in the recommendation. but decided
to discuss it further

Viable alternative to Rosemont Extension

The University administration likes
to think of itself as a neutral
bystaiﬂer in the Rosemont Garden
Extension controversy. But UK‘s
proposal for a small city street from
Commonwealth Stadium to Tates
Cneek Pike is the best idea yet after
years of debate on the proposed ex-
pressway.

Larry Forgy. vice president for
business affairs, said a small road
must be built immediately around the
stadium to solve the south campus
traffic tie-ups on Cooper Drive.
Forgy intentionally doesn‘t say
whether construction of such a road
would alter the need for the more
ambitious Rosemont Garden project
between Nicholasville Road and

ltosemont Garden Exteision would
have a devastating impact on
Lexington‘s residential south side,
which is already glutted by traffic on
its commercial strip developments.
An expressway running east would
not solve the basically north-south
traffic dilemma on the south side. It
would actually bring in more cars by
creating a crosstown thoroughfare
through Lexington‘s midsection.

L’K‘s proposal is exactly what
Rosemont Extension opponents have
favored as a cheap and en-
vironmentally sound alternative to
the $2.4 million highway department
plan. t‘niversity-generated traffic
has placed a great burden on Cooper
Drive residents—who until now have

Extension-wand they deserve some
form of traffic relief. So the
t'niveisity plan eliminates the last
vestige of justification for the high-
way department proposal.

Rosemont Extension may be on its
deathbed anyway, thanks to a recent
show of insight by the Urban County
Council and changes in the state
transportation planning process.

After some high-pressured lob-
bying mainly by Councilwoman Pam
Miller. the council unanimously cut
off funding for the road from its five
year capital improvements plan. The
council‘s opposition to the project is
more than just a token expression of
sentiment. because a new federal
highway act requires direct input

Lexington‘s tranportation needs are

Free-market economics useless guide for U.S. policy

By NICHOLAS VON HOFFMAN

WASHINGTON — While he may have been mistaken
about some things, there is a new appreciation of John
Maynard Keynes‘ dictum that "the ideas of economists
and political philosophers, both when they are right
and when they are wrong, are more powerful than is
commonly understood. Indeed the world is ruled by
little else. Practical men. who believe themselves to be
quite exempt from any intellectual influences, are
usually the slave of some defunct economist.“ So we
shouldn't be disappointed that our leading people are
slow to give up ideas that are rapidly proving to be
fallacious.

A few, like Harvard‘s Wassily Leontif, are quoted as
saying. “Policy today is completely at a dead end." but
more are like his colleague. professor Otto Eckstein.
who seems to prefer to hold on to the past and hope for
the best. “We either work our way out of this mess in
1975 or we are in real trouble," says Eckstein, who has
great influence in Washington. “If policy does not meet
the challenge next year. we'll have to change the
economic system.“ (New York Times, Dec. 29).

BEFORE WE DO that. however. we're going to have
to change our understanding of the system. That un-
derstanding is presently based on the proposition that
we are operating in a free-market economy, and,
therefore, when things go bad, all we need do is restore
the market to health.

To persuade yourself that this is indeed a free-
market system you need to turn your brain into a
pretzel. That is what academic economists have done.
argues Richard Goodwin in The New Yorker magazine
(Jan. 6i. He compares the intellectual contortions of
conventional economists and their faith in the
existence of the market system to the Ptolemaic ex-
planation of how our solar system works.

’PLEASE COOPERATE . .

. I’VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE!’

To account for the fact that some stars seemed to
change speed and others to reverse direction.
“astronomers constructed a model of the universe in
which stars and planets moved around each other
while moving around the earth: circles within circles
within circles; cycles and epicycles —- all rotating in
one grand design." writes Goodwin.

THE COMPLEXITY and obscurantism of th:
Ptolemaic universe did account for the motions of the
heavenly bodies. but an astronaut would have a rough
time using such a map to get to the moon. So also can it
be said that the mental acrobatics of our economic
thinkers describe the workings of our society. but that
isn't going to help a lot of people who are out of work to
find jobs. In fact. the accepted understanding in higher
places at the moment is that the jobless rates will
never go down to what they once were.

Goodwin writes that what we are really doing is
moving rapidly toward a state capitalism “in which
the people as taxpayers are compelled to support these
private industries they did not, or could not. support as
c0nsumers... - (‘lnnese l’renner (‘hnn tin lat. In a major policy

To“ aid

“My tob is taking rare," Million
said “Greenhouse time is all the
time."

Million helps the many people who
bring in their plants for doetoring or
adv lee.

“There is no right or wrong way to
grow a plant." Million said. “If you

have luek watering from the top,
water from the top. ()r water from the
bottom. The main thing is not to
overwater.

“Plants need a certain amount of
light and heat, but after that they just
have to adjust to your environment,"
Million said

.»‘i surge of interest in plants has
been generated in the last five or six

ezm. said Million. Students come in
and buy a small plant. tell their
roommates. and there‘s a chain

reaetion

Millmti sees a deeper reason for the
iiiereaswl eultivation of house plants

the satisfaction of an increasing

need to ea re and to be cared for.

“No one wants to care. So many
people are out for themselves until
they get into trouble." said Million.
“Most folks want to be loved as well
as to love.

“Caring for flowers — you find love
there. At maturity. they’re the
reward. If more people grew ﬂowers

there would be more togetherness in
the world,” he said.

Although he had no formal training,
Million said an education is necessary
to become a competent grower today.

“There is a demand for educated
people because of the' many
chemicals, pesticides and in-
secticides. If you don't know how to
measure them, you can hurt a
greenhouse."

During his years as “the
greenhouse man“ Million has found
there is a type of person who cares for
plants, and a particular satisfaction
goes along with growing plants.

“Anything breakable must be
handled carefully. As far as flowers
go. talk to them if you want. You
develop your own knack for growing
them.“ said Million. “There is a time
you plant and sow seeds.

“Something in theflowers gives you
a reward. Withouta paton the back, it
tells you thatyou‘ve done a goodjob.”
