86 looks at .evaluation form_alte_rnatives,
teacher rating standardization is sought

By NANCY cme
Staff Writer

A company may be hired by Student
Government to conduct standardized
teacher and class evaluations at UK.
80 would fund the project and pub-
lished results would be made available
to UK students.

SG Academic Affairs Committee
Chairman Buzz English said students
may eventually have reference mate-
rial about teachers which will help
them make decisions before advance
registration.

English said information in the
pamphlet. to be published by Idea C o.
of Salt Lake City. would be sold at a
nominal price. It would include an
overall evaluation of each course
taught by an instructor and an estima-

Iexplain abstract
included. The instructor‘s ability to

course.

Additional data on the instructor‘s
concern for a student‘s progress in
class and the teacher‘s ability to
ideas would be

relate course material to other sub.
jects. use good illustrations and exam-
ples and stress important material
would also be statistically measured.
Idea C 0. already provides this eva-
luation service for publication. Its ser-
vices are used by the administrations
and student government organirations
at universities throughout the country.
English estimated the cost of using the
Idea C 0. system at $20.000.
According to estimates from the SG
Academic Affairs office. about one
half of the cost of this system would be

covered by receipts from the sale ofthe
pamphlet. It has not announced fund-
ing for the balance of the cost.

John Stephenson, dean of under-
graduate studies. said hc sees this eva-
luation service purposal as financially
unfeasible at UK. He said the Student
Government tried a similar project a
few years ago. and the sales ofthe boo-
klets did not cover the cost of their
production.

“Faculty would resist the additional
evaluation." Stephenson said. He said
an evaluation of each course and sec-
tion would be an “enourmous task.“

“When students are better able to
estimate the requirements of a course.
they will decrease drops and schedule
changes.“ English said.

teaching evaluation method which is

Homecoming work involves more students this year

Southern traditions. or at least Lex-
ington traditions. will run rampant
during homecoming week at UK. The
week of yelling like hell. getting wild at
the Hyatt and working on house dis-
plays will climax by watching the Cats
crush Vandy. '

The festivities. entitled “Kentucky. a

week prior to the Nov. ll Homecom-

UK organizations and alumni

special effort to involve the entire cam-
pus. Faust said in previous years the
Greeks have dominated Homecoming
planning. organization and support.
She said since Homecoming is the
major fall semester event. special
efforts to involve as many students as
possible must be made.

Newspaper accused of having ’political love affair’
with district judge Gudgel by bond-posting Smiley

A dispute has developed between
the man who posted bond for several
students charged withdisruptinga UK
assembly and The Lexington Leader.

John T. Smiley. the Mt. Sterling
benefactor. took out a $4M advertise-
ment in The Leader Monday. claiming
the paper had a “political love affair"
with District Judge Paul Gudgel.
Gudgel tried the case of eight Iranians
and three Americans who protested at
the speech of CIA Director Stansfield
Turner at UK last spring.

Smiley posted a collective $l25.000
bond for the demonstrators. including
two UK students. because he said he

thought both the bonds and jail sent-
ences Were too harsh for the crime.

Smiley‘s ad. which included a
reprint of a letter to the editor that he
said was improperly edited. charged
the afternoon newspaper of a “mali—
cious. vicious libel attack.“

The reference was to a story in the
Oct. l7 Leader about Smiley. which
reported that the IRS had filed liens
against him for back payment of
income taxes. In a column on the edi-
torial page yesterday. Editor Steve
Wilson said the newspaper “made an
honest mistake“ in implying that Smi-
ley was guilty of a crime. and later

printed a correction about the error.

Wilson said when Smiley delivered
the letter. he requested that it be
printed in both The Leader and the
morning Laying/on Herald. They
agreed for it to be printed in the Satur-
day combined edition. Because the
Herald handles letters for Saturday
editions. said Wilson. the Leader staff
was not involved in the editing.

“So far as a political love affair
between The Leader and Judge
Gudgel.“ Wilson said. “I spoke to the
judge on last Thursday for the first
time in my life concerning Smiley’s
accusations about thejudge‘s handling

of the case.“

Although TheLeader editorially
supported Gudgel‘s handling of the
case. the newspaper “has no allegiance
to Gudgel or any other public official.“
Wilson said.

In the advertisment. Smiley said of
Gudgel. "This judge has proved to us
beyond any doubt that he has no
respect for Judicial Ethics or human
kindness. He should be removed from
the bench in the courthouse to a bench
in the park."

One of the statements deleted from
Smiley’s letter to the editor says the

Walter Huddleston is the best choice for U.S. Senator,
onlyafter considering the opposition and the issues

SEN. WALTER HIDDLI-ISTON

If it were necessary to~compare Walter Huddles-
ton next Tuesday with another candidate who is the
perfect model of a U.S. Senator. there would be
some tough decisions to make.

These choices won‘t have to be made. fortunately.
It’s rare to find the perfect candidate in a contest. so
voters merely seek out the most qualified. And with
Republican state Rep. Louis (iuenther as the alter-
native to Huddleston. it‘s not a tough decision at all.

Huddleston has been a mildly successful senator
and has adequately represented his state. He‘s
worked hard on legislation'important to Kentucky‘s
economy through his seat on the Agriculture Com-
mittee. and has made a name for himself on the
Intelligence Committee.

Huddleston and (iuenther have similar positions
in favor of continued price supports for tobacco.
and oppose increase in cigarette taxes. as well as
funding for the anti-tobacco campaign now being
conducted by HEW.

Guenther has conducted a mostly negative cam-
paign. attempting to turn it into a referendum on the

Panama (‘anal Treaty. which Huddleston
supported. -

As it became clear that only a minority of Ken-
tuckians (most of whom write letters to neWspapers)
still regarded that moot issue as an important one.
(iuenther‘s shrill campaign became a desperate
exercise in demagoguery. Huddleston. the Louis-
ville challenger charged. had secret knowledge that
the United States had lost military supriority to the
Soviets.

(iuenther has had enormous trouble convincing
voters that the treaty is still an issue. let alone
whether Huddleston was correct in supporting it.
The ratification of the Panama Canal Treaty was an
eloquent act of realism. ending U.S. involvement in
an area where it cast our country in a bad light. Hud-
dleston‘s vote in favor ofthe measure was a courage-
ous risk against criticism that was sure to come. and
he realized that signing the treaty was best for future
U.S. interests in South America.

Guenther has also accused Huddleston of doing
nothing on inflation and cutting taxes. saying that
the 95th Congress and the.Carter administration

Letters—to the Editor '

offer only vague. future promises for balancing the
budget.

No quarrel there. the budget should be balanced.
But (iuenther inspires no confidence of having any
better solution with his toe-the-line Republican
Party solutions. Kemp-Roth. 33 percent tax cuts
and deficit spending wiped out in two weeks are all
unfeasible and probably inflationary. Guenther
shows no creativity or inspiration with his propos-
als. and no ability that would help push them
through Congress.

Huddleston‘s record could be better on several
topics. such as conservation and environmental
affairs. but. overall. it shows that he is a much better
choice than Guenther.

The only obstacle to Huddleston‘s re-election is
probably apathy among Democratic voters. It
shouldn‘t be underestimated: witness Tom Easter-
Iy‘s upset of “safe“ U.S. Rep. John Breckinridge last
spring. Kentuckians should not feel complacent
about their incumbent senator defeating a weak.
unqualified opponent next Tuesday. To make cer-
tain Huddleston stays in office. vote.

 

United Way

It takes people to help people.
This is the theme of the annual United
Way of the Bluegrass fund raising
drive. Last year over 70.000 people
were helped by the United Way. The
United Way of the Bluegrass serves
more than Lexington: it encompasses
Central Kentucky the counties of
Fayette. Bourbon. Jessamine. Madi—
son and Scott. In Fayette County
alone the United Way serves one out of
five people.

This year Student (iovernment is
lending its support to the United Way
and joins the University in inviting
everyone to participate in this all
important effort. The goal for the met—
ropolitian area is $l.(vl(v.000: of this
amount $l 24.000 is being sought from
the University community. Student
Government is urging everyonetogiv'e
in whatever capacity they can. ()ne
way would be to volunteer and activ ely'
participate in one ofthe United Way‘s
23 organi/ations. Some of these
organi/ations are: Red Cross. YMCA.
Big Brothers and Big Sisters. Another
way of participation would be a group
sponsored activity. One of the greatest
0n~campus sponsored activity is the
traditional Boyd Hall Haunted House.
where all the proceeds go to the United
Way.

Three years ago a trophy (plaque)
was acquired to acknowledge the stu-
dent organi/ations who raised the
greatest amount of money forthe Uni-
ted Way. l‘his year Student Govern-

ment will continue this method of
recognition. The award is separated
into three categories:

I) fraternities and sororities

2) residence balls

3) other student organilations

By using this approach both large
and small organiiations will have an
equal chance of success. The UK Stu-
dent Campaign will run through the
first week of December. All organiza-
tions making contributions by this
date will be included in the competi-
tion. Let‘s all do what we can!

Some fans

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This letter was
received prior to Saturday‘s UK-
Georgia game.)

As a UK student. I would like to
express my view in exactly how I feel
about U K‘s “love them or leave them“
sports fans.

I am specifically referring to the
large number of so-called UK fans at
the last two home games. In both inci-
dences. many students left during the
third and fourth quarters. while at the
same time ridiculed the team‘s perfor-
mance because UK was not winning.

If you are a U K student and are con-
cerned enough to turn in your ID fora
ticket. then you as a student should
equally as well show enough respect to
support your school‘s team whether
they are winning or losing.

Winning is not everything. people
win or lose everyday of their lives. It is
the competitiveness of sports that
make them exciting and challenging.
notjust winning alone. Something can
be gained through losing. believe it or
not. it‘s called experience.

I‘m sure the football team gives l00
percent in effort when they take on an
opponent. and I feel it is the least UK
fans can do is to respect their team‘s

I am endorsing the candidacy of
Larry Hopkins for Congress because I
(have) felt from the very moment he

entered into the race for Congressman
from the 6th District that he was the
right man for Congress. He is stable

' and very reliable. He will represent the

viewpoints of the people who live in
this district well. He is interested in
them and their problems and will do
his best to help them out while in Con-
gress. At the same time he will do what
will be best for our country. and make
this system of ours work better with

less interference in our everyday lives
by the federal government. He favors
lower taxes because of their financial
burden on all families in the lower and

to vote on Election Day. Nov. 7. for
Larry Hopkins for your Congressman.

’The cherry on the banana split of experience’

Literature: Challengin

BY ROBERT II IIMI'INWAT

Kenneth Burke once referred to literature as “equip-
ment for living.“

It is a very American statement utilitiarian. object
oriented. It suggests something heavy enough to hold in
the hand. practical enough to perform a useful task. It
places literature in the same order of being as a brace and
bit. promises a function as specific as that of a flashlight.

 

office tower blues

 

Burke‘s idea also presupposes that one has acquired.
usually at some cost. a conception of “living," His state-
ment respects w hat the reader brings to literature as much
as it celebrates the effects of reading. We know life can be
a process of drilling holes for ourselv es. We discover it
shrouded by a greater darkness than we first realized. We
welcome spiritual supplies.

The practicality of literature has long interested me.
primarily because college students entering an English
class always expect to be let in on the secret. They want
you to translate poetic truths into the language of the
“real world."

()v er the years I‘ve come to treasure particular authors
because they break down such artificial distinctions.
because they supply essentials for successful living. Con-
sider the wisdom of Frnest (iaines’ creation. Miss .lane

Pittman. a “0 year old former slave with a formal philo-
sophy of diet:

“It‘s good for you fish. Fish and work. Hard work can kill
you. but plain steady work never killed nobody. Steady
work and eating plenty of fish never killed nobody. (ireens
good. too. Fish and greens and good steady work. Plenty
walking. that‘s good. People don‘t walk no more. When you
don‘t walk you don‘t drink enough water. Good clean water
and greens clear out your system."

Jane Pittman knows the difference between slavery
and labor. good water and bad. A well-functioning intes-
tinal tract is a truth worth perserving.

Miss Jane‘s truth. however. does not exist in a vacuum.
Why. she wonders. don‘t people walk anymore? The logi-
cal answer is a complicated modern calculus ofautomo-
biles. concrete. urbanization and capital development.
The symbolic answer is jogging.

The jogging explosion is the final conclusive evidence
that the environment is lost. People run because there is
nothing left to see. nothing to stop and look at. One
moves through the landscape as quickly as possible. car-
rying the self-righteousness of expanding capillaries like
a shield to fend off the ozone-infested air available for
breathing. Jogging is a narcissistic. admirable. heroically
futile gesture by a civilization without the time to address
its collective problems. Jane Pittman‘s clean system has
become a historical impossibility. Our bodies are the gar-

bage dumps of industry. our fish too infected for com-
mercial sales.

 

Physical expectations are gloomy. We would not be
surprised if the government discovered that the ink on the
I975 tax returns came from a vat formerly used to store
PBB the compund responsible for killing offthe Mich-
igan dairy industry. Anyone who completed a ‘75 tax
return will drop dead sometime during the four-month
period between August and November. l98l. Fortu-
nately. a number oftax evaders have been identified: they
are now being trained to bury the corpses and create for

the survivors a comedic spectacle ofthe same magnitude
as the US. Congress.

In E.L. Doctorow‘s Ragtime. the narrator descibes his
father. trapped with Adm. Peary in the Artie winters:

"Father kept himself under control by writing in hisjournal.
This was a system too. the system of language and conceptu-
alization. It proposed that human beings. by the act of mak-
ing witness. warranted times and places for their existence
other than the time and place they were living through."

Doctorow understands the practical function of writ-'
ten expression. Authors witness. They testify. Ntozake
Shange says. “a poem should happen to you. like cold
water 0. a kiss." The testimony may challenge more than
affirm. feel more like cold waterthan a kiss. but it isa par-
ticipatory ritual. Pondering the utility of the arts. Kurt
Vonnegut thought of the role played by canaries in l9th
Century coal mining. The canary accompanied the miner
into the shaft. If the air was bad. the bird keeled over and
the miner left. Vonnegut posited a “canary in the coal
mine theory of the arts. This theory says that artists are

9 the equipment of living

useful to society because they are so sensitive. They keel
over like canaries in poison coal mines long before more
robust types realize that there is any danger whatsoever. “

Somehow the notion has grown that literature is
embroidery. a kind of maraschino cherry on the banana
split of experience. More robust types needn‘t bother
with it. I suggest that literature is essential. as practical as
an electronic ignition. as curative as penicillin. But litera-
ture is not practical because it tells you how to live;
rather. it is practical because it challenges the equipment
you have been issued. the assumptions you have chosen
to live with. Will reason suffice? Logic conquer? A char-
acter in Tom Robbins‘ Even Cowgirls Get the Blues
shouts. “Of course l‘vecontradicted myself. I always do.
Only cretins and logicians don‘t contradict themselves.
And in their consistency. they contradict life." Jane Pit-
tman. such a good dietician. also talks to trees.

The value of Miss Jane’s advice is not in its prescription
for gastro-intestinal health. Clean greens may also give
you hay fever. The practicality of literature is in its dialec-
tical relationship with the reader. It is a dialectic of ideas.
an interplay between the values brought to the poem and
the values generated by the poem. It means that literature
provokes the most practical self-help questions of all —
who am I? What am I doing here? Where are we all going?

Robert Hetnmway teaches English at UK and is new
spending his spare time looking for parts for his VW van.

Scholarships for study
in England available

By STEVE MASSEY
Staff Writer

Many student's only contact
with Shakespeare. the Medie-
val world. Victorian life and
British culture is through Eng-
lish literature class.

But if the idea of studying’

these subjects at one of five
British universities sounds
appealing. yet costs are hard to
live with. then the Kentucky
sector of the English Speaking
Union may help.

ESU has made Sl0.000 in
scholarships available to Ken-
otucky students interested in
studying these subjects in
England.

The money. raised by
members and friends of the
union. will be used to send a
number of UK seniors. gradu—
ate students and outstanding
juniors to one of the five fol-
lowing universities: Oxford
University for studies of British
Culture l870 to present; Uni-
versity of London for Victorian
life studies; University of
Birmingham-Stratford for
Shakespearian studies; Univer-
sity of Kent-Canterbury for
Medieval world studies and
University of Edinburgh. Sco-
tland for British studies I840 to

I940.

Last year. four of the In stu-
dents representing Kentucky
were from UK. The program
has been in existence since I960
when one student made the
trip.

Both full and partial scholar-
ships will be awarded. The full
scholarship $3.000
room and board. tuition. round
trip air fare and fees.

“The partial scholarship
requires the student to pay
some portion ofthe tuition and
air fare. but this will never be
more than one half ofthe cost.
and usually is a lot less.“ Wil-
liam Hutchings. a member of
the state board of directors for
ES U. said.

Hutchings said the scholar-
ship also includes a week stay
with an English family.

Courses will include a com-
bination of lectures and semin-
ars. Students can receive credit
by attending allthe lectures and
seminars and then writing a
seminar paper.

Besides the actual classroom
study. students in the program
will gain the invaluable expe-
rience of just being abroad.

William Hockensmith. a his-
tory senior who studied at the
University of Oxford last

summer. traveled abroad for
the first time because oi the
program.

“It‘s a cultural exchange.
Experiencing an alternate liies-
tyle is probany the most
important part of the process
it gives you a new perspectite
on life by viewing problems and
benefits of different societies."
Hockcnsmith said.

larship are:

dent or an outstanding junior
