Community College Faculty Compare Favorably
By LEE BECKER
Kernel Staff Writer
More than 95 percent of the faculty in the University
of Kentucky Community College System have masters
degrees or higher.
A national figure for similiar schools is approximately
60

percent.
"I don't think we really can compare faculty, ' said
A. J. Hauselman, administrative assistant for the Community College System.
However, if a comparison were made, he said, it
would have to be made in terms of the faculty at junior
colleges and other community colleges.
Compared to the main campus faculty, few community
college faculty members have doctorate degrees. Mr.
Hauselman attributes this to the fact that a doctorate
is mainly a research degree, and research is not the purpose of these colleges.
"When evaluating faculty, we must not only look at
degrees," he said, "but at where the faculty received

them, and what kind of distribution this produces."
The system's faculty represents 64 different institutions, with only 51 ot the 182 faculty members having
received their highest degrees from UK.
The rest of the faculty are from throughout the
country; thus the student comes in contact with people
of different backgrounds, Mr. Hauselman said.
Faculty recruiting is done through the directors of
the individual colleges and with the assistance of the
Community College office. The deans of the colleges
are asked to advise in this matter.
...
Through this process "we give the student at least as
good faculty and education as he would get the first
two years on campus," Mr. Hauselman said.
The system has not had trouble getting faculty, he
said, because the Community College movement appeals
to many teachers, and not everyone is interested in
doing research.
The major source of faculty is people who have just
received their masters degree. Many of the faculty also
come from other community colleges and junior colleges.

"We have the same problem in recruiting faculty in
the community colleges that everyone else has because
of the law of supply and demand," Mr. Hauselman said.
"We are often competing with business and industry,
but, if we start looking early, we don't have problems."
e
instructors
The system does employ
who have other jobs but who desire to teach classes
in the evening or at other times which fit into their
schedules.
"Often individuals take other jobs for personal reasons, but still have the desire to teach."
Mr. Hauselman feels that sincethesepeoplehaveboth
good academic backgrounds and actual experience in the
field as it exists today, "they are able to make valuable
contributions to the educational and professional development of the students."
"Tart-timinstructors do not mean poor instmction,"
he said. "It can mean better instmction."

The Draft Overhaul
sweeping draft proposals
advocated Monday by President
Johnson seem to be an honest attempt to update and make fairer
the call for young men to military service. The President announced in his message to Congress that he plans to make fundamental changes in the draft by executive decree.
Although Johnson's proposals
are based primarily on the report
of the National Advisory Commission on Selective Service, there
remain several basic differences in
the two reports. First, Johnson proposes a kind of lottery to determine which young men are drafted
for military service. Secondly, the
Chief Executive's report leaves undecided the question of deferments
for undergraduates and the decision on whether to eliminate local
draft boards. The President's report did call for an end to deferments for all graduate students,
except those preparing to be physicians, dentists, or ministers.
The 20 member commission,
which was appointed by Johnson,
recommended that a random selection be used todecide who is called,
but not a lottery. Obviously, this
is quite vague and needs clarification. The commission also called
for the elimination of all student
deferments and the replacement of
the 4,100 local draft boards by 300
to 500 area centers.
Admittedly, the proposals of the
President and the commission will
The

undergo considerable criticism before Congress prior to the June 30
deadline when the present Selective Service law expires. Already
drawing much opposition is Johnson's proposal for a lottery system.
But this is the purpose of Congress, and there are numerous questions which should be asked concerning the various proposals.
Fortunately, both the President
and his commission agree with the
theory of taking those in the 18
to 19 years-of-ag- e
group first. These
men adapt more easily to military
training and their lives are not uprooted nearly as much as someone
in his mid-20'If a young man is drafted at
18 or 19 and his tour of duty is
ended at 21, he will have a much
clearer perspective as to whether
to attend college or not. Should
he attend, he will be seeking a
higher education for earnest reasons, and will not have the worry
of the draft. Upon graduation, he
will feel freer to select the job for
which he feels best suited, and there
will not be the temptation to obtain a job to which is attached a
deferment, although he might not
be particularly proficient at, or
s.

happy with, the job.

drafted.
We would hope that the President will decide to adopt the recommendation of his commission that
all student, deferments be discontinued. The elimination of student
deferments would end the reign of
students as "sacred cows," a situation which has never been fair.
Institutions of higher learning will
benefit in the long run, because
more mature students will attend
classes, and there will no longer be
students in school merely to evade
the draft. In addition, the old complaint of the poor that only those
who can't afford a college education are selected will be ended,
should the commission's proposal
be adopted by the President or
Congress.
We also favor the commission's
recommendation to eliminate local
draft boards in all states. The local
board is out of date, as is the
school house and the hamlet's tiny post office stuck in the
rear of someone's house. The commission has proposed that much of
the selection now done by local
boards be done by computers, and
it seems this will project greater
homogenity in the Selective Service System.
In addition, we must endorse
the commission's proposal that anyone who wishes to enter the Reserves and Guard units with a

Letter To The Editor

Rocks From The Ivory Tower
To the Editor of the Kernel:
I read with great dismay your
editorial of Feb. 16, "Has Rupp
Choked?" and suggest that an
appropriate title might also have
been: "Rocks from the Ivory
Tower." My dismay was, however,
tinged with humor as your editorial
occasionally bordered on the ludicrous with its non sequiturs, ad
Hominem Rupp arguments, and
ax grinding against
Kentucky's favorite pastime, college basketball.
Your editorial states "We do
not question the authority of any
athletic coach to dismiss from the
team any player . . ." yet in the
following sentence "the Kernel
must seriously question the legitimacy of Coach Rupp's actions . . ."
The Kernel berates Coach Rupp,
an eloquent spokesman for a game
in which he has done wonders,
as "a true bureaucrat," a man
"carrying a childish grudge," and
a man wanting "to hide behind
cliches" and "dish out plenty of
double-talk.- "
The Kernel appears
at the popularity of baspiqued
ketball at UK and seems to want
to cleanse itself of any complicity
in this popularity. ("We have worshipped the athletic god long

classification should be denied acceptance. Only men not yet classified could join these units.
It is widely admitted that to be
accepted into a Guard unit or the
Reserves, "it takes pull." By reclasfusing to allow those with
sifications into these units, much
of this unfairness likely will be alleviated. Joining Guard and Reserve units, until now, has meant
virtual immunity from the draft.
1-- A

We do not

think either the
ident's or the Commission's

Prespro-

posals in any way give a complete
answer to the manner in which a
young man should offer his services to his country. We believe
it is reasonable to expect a young
man to offer two years of service
to his nation, but that he should
enter military service only voluntarily. If the United States cannot
maintain a sufficient military force
on a voluntary basis, something is
obviously wrong somewhere.
But until the day may come
when military service is totally voluntary, if indeed that day does
come, we must recognize the proposals by President Johnson and
the special commission as being a
significant and truthful attempt to
make the call to military service
fairer.

enough.")
Finally, the Kernel stands mock

heroically at Armaggeden, or in

This is indeed a nifty transition
from the ridiculous to the banal.
Even literary style left much
to be desired. Awkward expressions
abound, such as "the system's perpetrators" and "castigate the dignity." Can a "system be perpe

"coaches pay little attention to

Never were more appropriate

It's March And SG Swings Into Action Again
Wesley, no mean dissident himself, introduced a bill not unlike that of Snyder
in its attempts to satisfy the demands of
SPER as well as in its carefully calculated
political usefulness.
The idea of course was to remove the

The past week has certainly been a
busy one for the budding politicians of
Student Government, as well as a somewhat trying one for those of us who have
made an effort to understand the workings
of the University's student legislators and
legislature.
While we were still busy figuring out
the implications of the recent unofficial
referendum (solidly against present representation practices) and the formation
of the new SPEIl (Student Party for
Equal Representation: vociferously against
present representational structures), legislation on the subject appeared in an
SG committee from what at first glance
was a highly unlikely source.

possibility of the present administration
having any connection with reform of its
own practices, and Wesley may very well
succeed.

Rep. Shcryl Snyder, a firm upholder
of the present administration, introduced
a bill calling lor a revamping of the
legislature to insure some scmblcncc of
responsible representation. The bill seems
calculated to remove the only apparent
issue of the upcoming campaign, thereby reducing the prospects for a meaningful election considerably. It was an
adroit political maneuver, as the bill
answered most of the demands of the
campus dissidents.
Snyder had not, however, reckoned
with the disposition of another SG Representative, Ralph Wesley. The indefatigable

Whih all this political byplay is stimulating (after the outstanding record of
this yeai's edition of Democracy in Action
a cribbage game would be stimulating)
it seems that both sides have missed the
point completely.
Student Government has reformed itself any number of times, through any
number of changes in constitution and
national affiliation. Yet all of these changes
have done nothing to correct the flaws
in the structure of Student Government,
and neither it seems, will cither of the
present legislative proposals.
Both of these bills either misdiagnose
or prefer to ignore the trouble with Student Government. This trouble is not
one merely of the structure of the present Student Government but of the present student governing complex: Student Government, AWS, the WRH council, IFC and Panhellenic, the
Student Association, and the Student Cen

ter Hoard. All of tliese groups naturally
have their own spheres of influence. And
all of these groups, which can or do
make policies affecting large numbers of
students are free to act unilaterally with
respect to these olicy decisions. At the
same time many of them are under direct
financial control of Student Government.
This results in an impasse between
the possible and the practicable in that
none of the independent governing bodies
can be sure of being able to implement the
policies which they are authorized to
make. This in part accounts for a con
