IFC candidates stress improved
relations, better grade standards

BY PAUL CRAYCRAP’I‘
Kernel Reporter

The Interfraternity Council will
elect new officers tonight with
emphasis being placed on
scholastics and better relations
between the campus fraternities.

Paul Haire, president of IFC, said
the organization has helped bridge
the gap between fraternities. But he
thinks more work is needed. “Pe0ple
are satisfied with the way things are
and don’t want to buck the system.
We could get more done became
they’re not lazy—just satisfied."

Most IFC presidential candidates
agree with Haire’s assesment.
Perry Bentley, Delta Tau Delta, an
IFC presidential candidate, said,
“Change is definitely needed. IFC is
a weak organization and not strong
like Panhellenic. It really doesn’t
have any power to speak of.”

“But,” Bentley added, “I don’t
believe radical change is needed. I
don’t think fraternities want to be
overpowered. In the next five years
the Greek system may experience

difficulty if enrollment draps like it's
predicted. We need to prepare
strong leadership.”

Buzz English, Sigma Chi and
presidential candidate, believes that
IFC has not held the position it
should. “IFC must try to get the
fraternity GPA up. We don’t need
structural changes but we do need to
emphasize closer relations. All of
the fraternity presidents don’t even
know each other.”

Keller Jordan, the third
presidential candidate, is serving as
VicePresident of Chapter Services.
He pointed out there is no specific
duty of IFC.

“Its purpose is to assist frater—
nities with programs and scholar-
ship, and to bring fraternities
together as a unit." If elected, he
plans to put several programs into
action which will better introduce
freshman and independents to the
Greek system.

Candidates for the other offices
also see the necessity for change.
Scott Moffit, Alpha Gamma Rho and
candidate for vice-president of rush,

said, “Fraternities need to take a
look at themselves and at the IFC.
Some fraternities have become too
independent and only think of
themselves."

“IFC,“ he continued, “has in the
past become, due to attitude of
various fraternities, gradually
weaker. There seems to be a trend of
apathy in the fraternity system, and
the attitudes of fraternities dictate
the performance of IFC."

John Hutchins, Kappa Alpha, is a
candidate for vice-president of
chapter services. He said IFC can do
better and become stronger, but, ”if
fraternities want more con-
sideration from the university they
must raise the GPA.”

Al Whitaker, Kappa Alpha and
candidate for vice president of
finance, pointed out how unknown
IFC is to the rest of the campts.

“I was at a party and someone
introduced me as an IFC candidate
and they asked what IFC is."

Whitaker said one of the greatest
advantages of the IFC is the ex-
change of ideas between members of
different fraternities concerning, for

instance, cost of supplies and where
to get the best deals.

Ken P‘ister, Theta Chi and a
candidate for vice-president of
finance, said the most important
thing he sees is for the IFC is to try
to get Greeks to work together.

Candidates Bill Otto, Alpha Tau
Omega, running for vice president of
rush; and Dan Whitlow, Farmhouse,
running for vice president of chapter
services, could not be reached for
their comments.

IFC members will vote tonight
during their regular meeting tonight
at7:30p.m. in the Alpha Tau Omega
House.

Fraternity presidents and an
additional representative from
every fraternity compose the IFC.
There is a $7.50 fine for not attending
and, according to the officers, at-
tendance is usually good.

All social fraternities are required
to belong to the IFC in order to be
recognized as an organization at
UK. If a fraternity chose not to
belong to IFC, it could not par-
ticipate in fraternity intramurals or
the other Greek activities.

LSU outplays Kentucky; gains 95-94 win

Information for portions of this story
was taken from WVLK game
broadcast.

Just when there was so much
speculation about the Kentucky
basketball team going unbeaten this
year, it was shocked back to reality
at Alabama three weeks ago. 78-62.

But after UK‘s Saturday night 95-
94 overtime loss at Louisiana State.
a subdued Kentucky head coach Joe
Hall said that his team must have
counted that ‘Bama loss as just a
fluke.

“It's the second time this year we
have not bowed our necks and
played like we wanted it." he said.
“It looks like we rolled over and let
them have it."

The loss cut Kentucky‘s lead in the
Southeastern Conference to one
game over Mississippi State and to
two games over Alabama and LSU.
It will probably also send the
Wildcats tumbling from their top
rankings in the AP and UPI polls.

The game in Baton Rouge was a
simple story of too much Durand
Macklin. Until he fouled out early in
the second half, the 6-foot-7 Tiger
forward had 23 points on 11 field
goals.

Macklin‘s inside scoring strength
and forward DeWayne Scales‘
assault on the backboards (17
rebounds) were the difference
between last night's result and
Kentucky's 96-76 romp in Rupp
Arena a month ago.

LSU outrebounded Kentucky. 41-

29. for the second time this season.
The Wildcats have been beaten on
the boards in four of their last seven
games.

“It (the rebounding) was an in-
dication of the way we played,” Hall
added. “I hope we‘re made of more
than it appears now. We didn't play
with heart or intensity. We just did
na move defensively."

Kentucky‘s most glaring defen-
sive lapse came early in the second
half after Kyle Macy‘s 18—footer had
tied the game at 45.

LSU ran off 14 of the game‘s next
16 points. eight of which were scored
by Macklin. Guard Kenny Higgs had
two buckets during the streak, but
fouled out of the game with over 16
minutes remaining.

Higgs' departure was the
beginning of a trend that allowed
Kentucky to close the gap before
letting the win slip away during the
overtime.

After Higgs left the game, the rest
of the LSU starting lineup also
fouled out-Macklin with more than
10 minutes left, DeWayne Scales at
9: 11. Lionel Green with less than two
minutes left in regulation and guard
Ethan Martin at 3:02 in the over-
time.

Scales fouled out with LSU ahead
67-60 and Kentucky fell even farther
behind as guard J ordy Hultberg hit a
layup to put his team ahead by nine.
With three minutes left in
regulation. Hultberg scored on a
goal—tending call on another layup
attempt for an 80-70 spread.

Dean favors policy

U Senate to vote on Nursing change

By DEBBIE McDANlEL
Kernel Staff Writer

The College of Nursing’s proposal
to implement an admission policy
based on random selection is the
main order of business on the
agenda for today‘s University
Senate meeting.

The new policy would eliminate
selections based on grade point
averages and the results of in-
terviews. Nursing College Dean
Marion McKenna said the random
selection policy, if passed by the
senate, will go into effect this fall
and be practiced on an experimental
basis for the next three years.

Under the new policy, Kentucky
residents will be given preference
over out-of-state applicants to fill the
130 class spaces. If there is a surplus
of Kentucky applicants, random
selection will determine admission
to the Nursing College.

If space is available after all

eligible Kentucky residents are
admitted, the remaining spaces will
be filled by out-ofstate applicants.
These applicants would not be
allowed to comprise more than 15
percent of the class, however.

To qualify for admission, the
applicant must have a GPA of at
least 2.0. In addition, the applicant
must be a licensed practical nurse in
Kentucky and must have an
associate degree in nursing from an
accredited community college.

Recent years of widespread
“grade inflation" influenced the
faculty decision to revise the present
selection policy, which McKenna
said is based on “artificial criteria."
She explained, “Grades don’t really
reflect the actual ability (of the
students ) . "

The B grade of five years ago is an
A grade today, McKenna said, and
as a result, grade inflation favors
recent graduates over those of five
years ago.

an 89-88 lead. But the final straw
came when a pass slipped through
forward Jack Givens' hands and
Hultberg's jumper pm LSU back

McKenna said the implementation
of a random selection process would
allow time for research to identify
criteria such as age or nursing
experience which could predict
success for nursing students. “I
hope the University Senate retains
the University obligation for
research," she said. “I want to be
able to study the students."

In a Jan. 31, 1978 memo to the
University Senate, the Senate
Council recommended adoption of
the new admission policy, saying,
“We believe we have the resources
to collect and analyze the data but
an initial random selection is
necessary to this research."

“Before the Alabama game, I
remember I thought this was the
most intelligent and poised team I
have had," Hall said. “We played
like we were panicked tonight. When
you lose your enthusiasm, you lose
your poise."

titude toward the proposal,
McKenna said, “The Admission
Committee (of the Nursing College)
has problems with it, but we put in
the fact that we‘ll do it on an ex-
perimental basis for three years."

“The faculty has been wrestling
with this issue for a year,“ said
Peggy O‘Mera, Student Government
Senator from the College of Nursing.
“In my opinion, because of the
unique nature of the program. it will
probabaly be passed, regardless of
student imput.” She added,
however, that not everyone agrees
on the issue of random selection.

HY BRIDGET McI-‘ARLAND
Kernel Reporter

Vincent Price told UK drama
students Friday afternoon that a
break was necessary to get into the
theatre. But it needn‘t be as big as
h's own.

Price's break came when his first
major role as Prince Albert in the
London production of Victoria
Regina was brought to the United
States in 1935. The play starred
Helen Hayes, then at the peak of her
career, and ran for three years on
Broadway.

“Actually my biggest break
probably was a small walk-on line
because it introduced me to the
theater as an actor,“ Price said as
he talked in the Music Lounge of the
Fine Arts Building.

In Lexington for four per-
formances at the Opera House of his
Broadway-bound Diversions and
Delights, Price said h's role of Oscar
Wilde in the play is one of h's
favorites. He also told the students
he preferred performing in smaller
cities.

“New York audiences are mainly
made up of tourists who want to see
light entertainment. That is why
Neil Simon does so well on Broad-
way."

Althmgh. Price said, Simon is an
excellent playwright, his plays

theater

usually do very poorly in London
because audiences there prefer
more serious comedy.

Price said his love for theater
began in London when he was
studying for a master's dcgree in
fine arts.

”Theater is so different there tin
London) because everyone goes." he
said. “At the beginning of a per-
formance any unsold seat could be
bought for 50 cents. Even though I
didn't have much money then, I
managed to see just about every
major play and opera."

One reason the US. theater is not
as advanced as the London theater,
Price said, is because of the
tremendous expense involved in
putting on a production.

He said he would like to see
smaller theaters like Lexington's
Opera House put on minor
productions and thus give new
playwrights a chance to break into
the field. It would also provide an
affordable form of theater en-
tertainent for audiences.

Price told his audience that
althaigh most remember him for h's
more sin'ster roles, only 30 of ha 105
films were haror pictures. He said
he throughly enjoyed making those
pictures. especially be Dr. Phibes
series.

Good news, bad news

Admissions bill is changed

There was good news and bad news last week
for those who are concerned about Kentucky
House Bill 118, which asks for proportional
distribution (1 students who are accepted into
professional schools.

The bad news is that the bill was approved in
committee and has been sent to the House for
consideration. The good news is that percentage
quotas were eliminated, with the bill now
charging the state Council on Higher Education
with developing a policy for “equitable
distribution” of professional school seats “among
all regions of the commonwealth.”

The percentages were the most obnoxious
feature of the bill, which is sponsored by Sen. Tom
Easterly, D-Frankfort. If the quotas had been
apprved and enacted, 70 percent of the
professional school (medical, law schools) seats
would be divided equally among the seven
congessional districts. Easterly’s intent was to
ultimately bring more professionals, especially
doctors, into rural areas.

The council has been directed to uSe population

figures to ensure “as nearly as possible” that
professional school enrollment would be ap-
portioned on the basis of the congressional
district’s percentatage of the state’s total
population.

That “as nearly as possible” qualifier is im-
portant. If the worst happens and the bill is
passed, strict percentage quotas will not have to
be used.

But the professional school admission process is
not the level at which to seek improvement. The
talent, number and ability among appicants vary
greatly, and more qualified students would be
bumped for less-qualified ones. Also, a law that
keeps someone out of school became of where he
lives is simply grotesque.

Now that the problem of maldistribution has
been referred to the cwncil, there is a good
chance that less drastic steps, like enrichment
programs and special student grants, will be
investigated as a means of attracting more rural
professional studaits.

Questions criticism of seal kill

1 take strong exception to the
views espoused in your paper on
Tuesday, Feb. 7. by Mr. Tom Fit~
zgerald. Granted, Mr. Fitzgerald is
entitled to his own opinions. as are
we are all. Still, the publication of
his more outlandish ideas is nothing
more than pandering to the type of
moral decadence that is ruining the
very fabric of modern society.

Particularly repugnant to me is
his statementt justifying the
wholesale slaughter of baby seals on
the grounds that they have started
burying landmines in the known
trails of hunters and trappers. He
sees in this the first spark of seal
rebellion. and prophecies their
eventual fortification of the Arctic
Circle, their “0pm season“ on fur
trappers, and eventually their
receipt of massive arms shipments
from the Soviet Union.

All of this is. of course. absurd.
Hester Metzenfester, in her book,
Club Me. (‘lub My Seal. predicted
this reaction to any resistance on the
part of the seals more than 15 years
ago. saying that those who hold such
opinions would be narrow-minded
anthroccntrics with a weakness for
fur stoles. i leave it to the readers of

the Kernel to decide how well the
description fits.

Another comment of his that irked
me was his objection to the plastic
cups that found their way into his
front lawn last fall. While it might be
a bit of a nuisance to try and mow
around those cups, the effects of
cveryone hanging on to them and not
throwing them away would be
dcvastating. Perhaps Mr. Fit-
zgerald does not realize it, but the
plastic cup industry is one of the
strongest supporters of the economy
during these financially diffucult
times. If the sales of these cups were
to suffer by football fans reusing
them every week, and if that
example were to be emulated on
other campuses across the nation.
the plastic-cup indistry would be
ruined. Millions of highly skilled
workers would be jobless; thwsands
of tons of plastic would go unused, in
turn crippling the plastics industry.
The \isciuos cycle typical of any
such event would soon bring the
economy to a standdill and the
economy to Its knccs. Surely, the
sight of a few while cups in the
guttcr lS not too high a price to pay
for prosperity.

in conclusion, it might be noted

that while our First Amendment
right to freedom of expression
should be protected, this freedom
must be weighed against the
possible adverse effects of unlimited
questioning of the foundations of our
society.

Larry Schneider
Urban Studies Senior

This is an answer to anyone who
chooses to dismiss entire decades or
movements as irrelevant. Seem to
be fashionable these days, when
campises are quiet and the business
of producing tomorrow’s leaders
goes on, uninterrupted by Go’s-brand
moral indignation.

Let us consider the Sixties for a
moment here. It’s very difficult to
discuss that decade. coherently,
because I really don’t think enough
time has elapsed to provide us with

 

 

 

the kind of h 'storical perspective we
have on a decade like the Civil War
era, or even that of the New Deal.

But if people feel we know enough
about it, o.k. Yes, it’s true that the
post-World War ll baby boom
produced huge numbers of idealistic
youths bent on chang'ng the world in
the 60’s.

John Kennedy’s “New Frontier”
theme ignited a lot of activism, and
a new spirit was born in this country,
refreshing after the decade of
Eisenhwer—Nixon-McCarthy.

I may be putting myself out on a
limb here, but I feel fairly sure that
JFK’s murder was one the most
traumatic single experiences in the
life of anyone between the ages of 25
and 35.

It made people very cautious
about cranking up the same degree
of optimism and activism they may
have felt while he was still alive. The
activism of the late 60‘s, while more
passionate and high-piched than in

1962-3, had a little more of a cynical
edge, which I attribute to a
movement battered by the deaths of
Malcolm X, Martin Luther King,
and the Kennedys.

i must take exception to anyone
calling the riots at the 1968 Chicago
convention an “exercise in
hyderia,” even if with tongue-in-
cheek. it was too important for that.

If 1 can refresh anyone‘s memory,

 

the Democrats were meeting to
nominate a candidate for president,
became the war in Viet Nam had
already bloodied LBJ beyond
recognition. Bobby Kennedy was
dead, so the Democrats were
deciding between Gene McCarthy
and Hubert Humphrey, who was
badly tam‘shed by his association
with the Johnson Administration.

While Hubert may have wanted to
denounce the war and support a
peace platform, it was felt by party
regulars that to do so would be to

,- alienate the Johnson regulars,
' considered crucial to victory. 80‘
:j Hubert, played it the old-timers’

way, and people took tothe streets
when they learned they’d just been
sold into at least four more years of
war. Exercise in hysteria? Maybe it
was, but not the kind you‘d think.

My credentials? i grew up quick
politically because I had the FBI
telephoning and visiting my house
looking for my brother, whose only
offense was refusing to support the
war effort.

Ultimately, he was arrested and
convicted on a lesser charge, failing
to keep the draft board informed of
his add‘ess change when he moved,
a felony which was sufficiently
obnoxious to prevent him from
teaching in public schools.

Speaking of which, does anyone
under the age of 22 know how de
hurnanizing it feels to have to
reg'ster for the draft?

Anyway, I remember when I was
younger and my mother was getting
dressed for work with the radio on. it
was a talk show, and a lady was
saying something about how her son
was killed in Viet Nam and what an
honor it was that he died to defend
his country. My mother snapped off
the radio and said, “What a lot of
crap. it’s no honor to have a dead
son."

in the spring of 1972, when it
looked like Nixon was losing his
grip, we took to the streets again.
Our organizations had names like
the Peace Action Council and the
Student Mobilization Committee. We
always used the abbreviations,
(remember how everything had
ablreviations?) PAC and SMC.

I didn't get my head busted in

Chicago, but I did find myself face-
to-face with a whole platoon of Nazis
in full battle gear (helmets,
shotguns, tear gas, etc.) itching to
commit a little mayhem during the
April 22, 1972 demonstration in Los
Angeles, which was also taking
place in San Francisco and New
York. There is nothing as sobering
as facing a platoon of Nazis,
especially when you have the
dubious distinction of being in the
front of a line of 15,000. Makes you
feel somewhat conspicuous.

By the way, after three years of

wary restricting probation, my

.bltiliiler got a pardon from Ford,
which legally wiped his slate clean.
It didn’t do a damned thing after six
years of darnnable harassment.

Now the 70's are drawing to a
close, and all I can say about this
decade is to quote Tom Wolfe, (once
literary and now resting on his
laure15i who called it the “Me
Decade."

That’s it, just Me, Me, Me. TM,
EST, money, grades, cars, dope,
backgammon, anything that is self—
centered and pleasure producing.
And the fault lies partly with the
former activists.

Our older brothers and sisters
helped bring a war to a close,
thereby removing that fear and
stigma from today’s youth. They
went through real trauma and pain
so that “crucial“ elements in our life
like sex and dope are to a large
degree acceptable.

But they didn‘t bother to explain
all their experiences to their
youngrr brothers and sisters,who
didn‘t care to listen anyway, and
who suddenly had this amazing
legacy dumped on them, and no
background, no emotional capacity
to understand what they had just
received.

Economists have been heard to
mutter that there’s nothing like a
good war to boost a sagging
economy. Sometimes i think there’s
nothing like a good war to turn
today‘s fascist self-centered youth
into tomorrow’s activist humanists.
