Honors controversy rages;
., resignation awaits action

By DEBBIE MCDANIEL
Kernel Staff Writer
and
JIM MCNAIR
Copy Editor

Honors Program Director Dr.
Robert Evans’s March 23
resignation will remain
unacknowledged for a second week
until Undergraduate Studies Dean
John Stephenson’s return from
Alaska on Thursday, according to
Vice President of Academic Affairs
Lewis Cochran.

Evans submitted his resignation
to Cochran and distributed an
emotional farewell letter to all
Honors students after learning the
content of the Honors Program
Evaluation Committee report. “Dr.
Cochran has been 100 percent
reticen ," he said in an interview,
adding he will continue to carry out
his duties until he receives
acknowledgment of his resignation.

The confidential report, as yet
unreleased, contained 21 recom-
mendatiom for the improvement of
the Honors Program. The con-
troversy surrounds two recom-
mendatiors which urge joint ap-
pointment, faculty working in more
than one department, of Honors
faculty and the selection of a new
Honors Program director.

According to the report, the
recommendations imply drastic
changes in the Honors Program, and
the Committee asked for a new
director because, “Dr. Evans can
not be asked to overturn what he has
constructed and what he believes in.

Honors pre-law sophomore Debbie
Berry said, “They didn’t even ask
him. People we’ve talked to don't
know what’s going on and why in the
world they want to get rid of him.
Basically it‘s a power struggle.“

Dr. John Greenway, associate
professor and evaluation committee
member, said, “There’s no intent on
the Committee’s part to break-up
the program and scatter it to the
four winds.” Greenway has a joint
appointment in the Honors Program
and the English department.

Evans disagreed strongly with
Greenway and said joint ap-
pointment of all Honors faculty
would destroy the program. The
report calls for faculty members to
spend20 to 25 percent of their course
load in Honors.

“The report is wrong on that,”
said History department professor
Dr. John Scarborough. “What we
meant was a 5050 appointment with
the person half-time in department
A and in department B.”

Cochran said he has received 20 to
30 letters from students asking that
the committee reconsider its
recommendations and Evan’s
resignation. “He is still the Director

Coca-Cola chairman nay
add trusteeship to his life

By JEANNE WEHNES
Copy Editor

A bill passed by this year‘s state
legislature will allow Gov. Julian
Carroll‘s appointee to the UK Board
of Trustees to be sworn into office.

William B. Terry Sr., chairman of
the board of the Blue Grass Coca-
Cola Co., was appointed to UK‘s
Board of Trustees in January.
Because of his position at CocaCola
and .UK‘s contracts with that
company, issues of possible conflict
of interest were raised.

The new law, which takes effect
June 19, states, in part, “no trustee
or regent having interest in any
contract with a state university
may serve on the univasity‘s
Board of Trustees) unless such
(interest) has been subject to
competative bidding.“

UK has an $3,000 per year contract

with the Blue Grass Coca-Cola Co.
Became the Coca-Cola contract is
based on competative biddng and
must be rebid eva‘y five years,
Terry will be able to retain his
position at Coca-Cola while serving
on UK‘s Board.

The recent legislation replaced a
law stating no board member could
have a direct or indirect interest in
any contract with that university.

Timothy Cone, Terry's attorney,
said it is his understanding the new
legislation has cleared any possible

conflict of interest.

“It is almost impossible to find a
Board of Trustee member that
doesn‘t have some kind of conflict,”
said Cone. “The Board was
operating under a higher standard
than state government."

Under literal interpretation, the
old law required members who
owned stock in a company doing
business with the University to sell
their shares, no matter how few, or
resign from their university
position.

of the Honors Program as far as I’rn
concerned,” said Cochran.

“There is pressure on the ad-
ministration not to accept the
resignation," said one committee
member who asked not to be iden-
tified.

Commenting on the letters to the
administration, Greenway said, “I
think it is a tribute to Dr. Evans that
people are reacting so strongly.
Normally these reports tend to be
ignored."

The reactions to the resignation
aren’t limited to the campus. Dr.
Dan Crabb, a former visiting
professor who greatly admired the
Honors Program, made a bequest on
June 26, 1974 that the net proceeds
from the sale of his 417 acres in
Illinds be placed in a fund for the
program.

When he learned of the present
situation, Crabb said, “If Bob is
removed from the program, I intend
to change the will and leave nothing
to UK.” Crabb estimated the land’s
value to be in excess of one-half
million dollars.

Honors Program faculty member
Dr. Joseph Hayse said joint ap-
pointment would fragment the
faculty and be the worst thing
possible for the program. “I do think
we’ve had a consistently strong
program in the past. We've got one
of the most complete honors
programs in the country,” he said.

To competently teach the six-core
colloquia, instructors must have a
thorough grasp of the curriculum,
said Evans. The colloquia focus on
the historical philosophies and
contributions of individuals during
different eras.

Evans said instructors must have
a thorough grasp of the entire
curriculum to teach the sections
competently, which would make it

inside

difficult for someone to walk into the
course without former experience.
“The philosophy is destroyed if the
faculty members are taken away.
Our Honors Program has a
discipline attached to it," he said.

Evans fears that the fragmen-
tation and separation of faculty
members resulting from joint ap-
pointments would disintegrate the
program. He said the appointments
would have to be drawn from the
present staffs, and departments are
already overstaffed and couldn‘t
give up teaching slots to Honors
faculty.

Rationale for the joint ap-
pointment recommendation in
cluded eliminating the Honors

faculty’s isolation and giving them ‘

contact with their departments and
the University in general.

Greenway favors joint ap-
pointment. “The Cormnittee’s intent
was that the appointment be
designed sirniliar to my own,” he
said. “Basically, I belong twothirds
in the Honors Program and one-
third in English.”

Scarborough said “Members don’t
serve very often on University
committees.” Greenway agreed,
saying that it is important to serve
on committees becauSe faculty meet
members from other disciplines and
“become known.”

“That is the biggest piece of
malarky I‘ve ever heard,” Evans
said about the cormnittee argument.
He said his faculty, 11 people in-
cluding himself, occasionally serve
on cormnittees. Considering the
small size of his unit, Evans said,
“we‘ve had more representatives on
the University Senate then we
should have.”

Two of the programs professors
are among the Senate’s faculty
membership.

Lawson said Evans has been
pushing proposals identical to 15 of
the 2| recommendations for several
years, but his efforts failed from
lack of funds, or an impasse with
Stephenson's office.

“Sometimes it was lack of funds,
sometimes lack of energy,” Evans
said.

“The rumor mill is hot and heavy;
one can presume there is animosity
between Evans and Stephenson, but
I would not honor those rumors,”
Scarborough said. “The people who
are spreading them are doing a
great disservice to the Honors
Program and Stephenson.”

'l‘he cormnittee also claimed in the
report that Evans “should serve
more as a chairman and less as a
head.”

Honors faculty member Dr. Jane
Vance said, “I feel that he has
always consulted about hiring
somebody and making policies. He
solicited our opinions before hand
and listened to them. I have never
felt that I was overlooked.”

Vance and students said it is a
misconception that the program is
designed basically to benefit English
students, a claim made by the
report. They said only 12 percent of
the program’s students are English
majors, compared to 30 percent
science majors.

“It isn’t irrelevant to the science
ma jor,” said Vance. “Scientific and
industrial revolutions are the major
topics of Honors 201.”

If the recommendations are ap
proved and Evans‘ resignation
accepted, Greenway said
Stephenson will probably appoint a
search committee selected from the
University at large to select
nominations for the new director.

WITII TIIE HELP OF A COMPUTER.scientists

potent anti-cancer drug ever made — an agent so
lethal it kills hundreds of millions of cancer cells in
laboratory mice with a single dose.

Researchers from the University of California at
San Francisco say the drug azetomicin is one of a
new class designed to stick to cancer cells longer
than other drugs in order to intensify its effects.

Dr. Martin A. Apple, head of the team that
developed the new drug, cautioned that there is no
assurance azetomicin would have the same effect
on human cancer as it did in mice. No human tests
have been made.

However. Apple said, it is probably better than
many drugs used clinically now. “at least according
to our computer projections." And the computer-
model he uses "almost never misses.“ in judging
whether a new drug will work in people. he added.

ERA safe

Court’s decision shows ’checks

and balances’ still working

Governmental systems in the United States,
from the federal government to the smallest
burg in Arkansas, are supposed to be a system of

checks and balances.

It's a pleasant surprise when these systems
work anything like they’re supposed to, enough’
to make one forget Watergate for a few minutes.
And when the system both works and produces
excellent results, its a major event.

Kentucky was the host to such an event last
Friday, when the state attorney general’s office
upheld the authority of a governor to sign or veto

a legislative resolution.

The decision was prompted by Lt. Gov.
'l‘helma Stovall’s veto of House Joint Resolution
20, which would withdraw ratification of the
Equal Rights Amendment that was passed by
the state legislature this session. Acting in the
governor‘s absence, Stovall checked an ill-
advised legislative move that could hurt a
measure this country needs. That’s the way the

system is supposed to work.

Unless a court fight produces a different
decision, the state‘s approval of ERA apparently
is safe until the next legislative session.

The opinion by Assistant Deputy Attorney
Geeral Walter Herdman said the resolution had
“the force and effect of law and would be con-
sidered in the same category as a legislative

bill...

“In our opinion,” said Herdman, “HJR

20 . . . would be subject to the govemor’s veto
under section 89 of the Constitution. At the same
time, in the absence of the governor, HJR 20

would be subject to veto by the lieutenant

veto.

governor under her authority to act with the
same power and authority as the governor . . .”

Stovall was acting in Gov. Julian Carroll’s
absence, Carroll being on vacation at Myrtle
Beach, SC. The governor, also a supporter of the
ERA, denied any prior knowledge of Stovall’s

Giving such strong support to a measure that
many Kentuckians plainly dislike
audacious move for Stovall, one of the principal
candidates for the Democratic nomination for
governor. Perhaps Stovall is attempting to
acheive recognition as the candidate who, if she
is no longer the only woman contender, is the
most concerned about equal rights for women.

Clearly the Lieutenant Governor is making
political preparations for the campaign. Last

is an

week, she publicly advised political ally George

Atkins, another probable candidate, that he
should not enter became he would have little
chance of winning.

Stovall and other candidates are making
preparations for what should be a captivating,
exciting campaign for their party’s guber-
natorial nomination in 1979. And for now, it’s

great to see the system of checks and balances

working the way it should.

’Logft cause’

'l’hecurrent public reactions to the
state Senate's anti-ERA resolution,
whether pro or con, might be un-
founded: no legitimate antiAERA
action has been demonstrated.

The EltA reference on which the
Senate voted was an amendment to
a bill. Because the amendment was
probably unconstitutional and,
thereby, will he annihilated after
judicial review. there was sufficient
cause for legislators to ignore the
amendment and vote strictly on the
bill

However, this situation reflects
another problem, in contemporary

More gripes

Any large university should be

fairly responsible. The University of
Kentucky is no exception, and until

about the people running this in

most. if not the most, irresponsible

Around Lexington

Fighting the ’Silver Jubilee Clap’

NEW YORK —- There is a rather
ancient and quite severe health
problem in the rolling fields around
Lexington, Ky.

It has caused the billion-dollar
racehorse breeding industry to be
shut down for two key weeks. If the
matter persists, there could
someday be no young racehorses at
Aqueduct and Belmont, no nervous,
unreliable two-year-olds to
devastate the wallets of southern
New York City.

The health matter is a disease
referred to as Silver Jubilee Clap. As
near as Kentucky people can tell,
last summer, during celebrations of
the queen's 25th year on the payroll,
one of the horses in her stable is
suspected of coming down with a
roaring social disease. As most
members of royal families appear to
have something the matter with
them anyway, it comes as no sur-
prise that the horses get in trouble.

As Kentucky breeder Tommy
Gentry was moaning yesterday,
"They‘re so damn ugly too."

“The queen's horses?"

"No. the family,“ Gentry said.

The venereal disease spread
throughout England and France last
year, causing all racehorse breeding
to cease. The United States
Department of Agriculture sent a
research team to Europe and it
decided that no horses from England
or France should be admitted to the
United States after Sept. 9.

Kentucky breeder John R. Gaines.
who had been negotiating to buy the
French stud hom' Ly phard for $6.6
million, got l.ypli.ird to Kentucky

two weeks before the deadline. The
horse was thoroughly tested upon his
arrival and the lab reports showed
the animal to be in excellent health.
But the contagious equine metritis
bacteria simply had been too
elusive. Lyphard had himself a large
dose of VD.

Some veterinarians, Anglophiles,
were trying yesterday to maintain
that the disease first appeared last
year in the Irish horse breeding
larms at Kildare.

Which only further illustrates a
fact of the horse business that was
first taught to me by the late trainer
James E. “Sunny Jim“ Fitz-
simmons. He was a man in his
nineties who would say, “How‘s the
horse‘.’ He can‘t talk, son, so your
guess is as good as mine."

If hyphard had been able to talk he
would have told the veterinarian
that something stings.

And then, on Sept. 9. right on
dealine day, there arrived in Ken-
tucky ‘another French horse. His
name is (‘aro and be cost $4.6
million. lie was placed in the great
stud farm, Spaidthrift. Caro wasted
whole oats and blackstrap molasses,
a diet that is said to greatly assist an
active stud horse. There is con-
siderable testimony. including here,
that this same meal, when tried by
humans, can not get past the palate.

What Caro really needed,
however, was sulphur drugs. He had
arrived here in disgrace.

The two horses suffering with a
venereal disease, Lyphard and
t‘aro, passed it on to seven other
stud horses and 40 broodmares. This
caused all breeding in Kentucky to
stop. The industry says it plans to
try to 0pm up shop tomorrow. But if
any more of the disease shows up,
the entire season of horse breeding
could be ended.

realize that we have missed many
days already because of bad
weather. and it would be very dif-
ficult for the officials to give us
another free day. No one would have
been upset had the subject not been
brought up, but as events occurred,
there were many angry students on
the UK campus Tuesday and

“If you have to quote me,”
Tommy Gentry was saying, “say
that I'd like to give it to the two
SOB‘s that brought it over here."

The epidemic so far has been
costly. When they first put Caro into
a barn, he was standing in a stall
alongside a stud horse called
Wajima, who was sired by the late
Bold Ruler. This was a wonderful,
speedy racehorse. But Bold Ruler‘s
performances on the track were as
of nothing compared with his ability
at love. He was the finest stud in
history, and all of his offspring,
Wajima most prominent, are in
demand in the stud barns.

And so one morning Wajima woke
up with this certain ailment and he
had to be put on the shelf. Wajima
charges $50,000 for each service. He
has passed up 40 affairs, which
means the Silver Jubilee Clap has
cost Wajima‘s owners about $2
million. In the place where Lyphard
is housed, Gainesway Farm, six
stallions are ill and one of them,
Youth, will account for $1.6 million
in lost revmues because of his
particular inability.

If the disease shows up some
more, breeding most certainly
would be stopped, perhaps for the
season, and a couple of years from
now there would be no two-year-olds
racing. The year after that, the
famous races for three-year-olds,
the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and
Belmont Stakes, would Arkansas
hogs running in them.

The matter was discussed with
Eddie Kay, who lives a long way
from Kentucky but has been af-
fected by any problem arising out of
that state for at least the last :15
years. Kuy is a transportation
executive on Fresh Pond Road in
Ridgewood. He runs the Four ()nc‘s
car service.

“Someday there‘ll be no two-year-
olds running," he mused.

“That's right," he was told.

“What a break that'll be," Eddie
Kay said.

“But it‘s because of a disease,“ he
was told.

“Maybe it’s incurable," he said.

Much of his sourness came from
the performance of a horse called
('erissa in the second race at
Aqueduct last Saturday. Cerissa was
part of a number of daily double bets
placed by Eddie Kay at the start of
the day. Cerissa disappeared at
about the fiveeighths pole.

stand, Eddie Kay‘s knees buckled.

The road meets the sky
Browne gives an honest concert

By WALTER TUNlS
Arts & Entertainment Editor

Just as Jackson Browne
says, there is a place where
the road and sky collide, and
that place was Rupp Arena
last Friday.

Browne and a revised line
up of his touring band gave a
two-hour-plus performance of
some of his finest material in
one of the most honest con-
certs in recent memory.

It becomes difficult to
separate Jackson Browne as
a true performer from the
immense media hype he gets.
With reporters labeling him
with the cursed “new Dylan"
tag, having Browne live up to
his prestigious write-ups
would seem impossible.

Well, he does live up to it.
During his Rupp Arena show,

IBrowne settled down into a
comfortable format almost

immediately. His music was
given a far greater punch
than any of his records, even
Running On Empty, eva'
hinted at, and his musicians
performed superbly.

The amazing thing about it
all was that Browne was so
true about everything. There

was no pagentry involved,
just a show of an honest,
remarkably unpretentious
performer and his band
playing their music the best
they can.

With the stage bathed in
yellow light, Browne, dressed
cooly in a baggy shirt and
jeans, led his band onstage
and went immediately into
“Take It Easy."

Oddly, the majority of the
show was pulled from
Browne’s 1974 Late for the
Sky album. His beautiful
“Fountain of Sorrow” had the
band beginning to open up.

Pianist Craig Doerge, the
only member of the Section in
Browne’s band took off for a
neat, clean solo, and David
Lindley‘s mournful violin
work dominated the track.

The audience gave Browne
the first of many ovations at
the conclusion of the seven-
ininute version and he
responded with “Here Comes
Those Tears Again,” which
featured some exceptional
harmony vocals by
Rosemary Butler.

Me Across the Water,"

Browne dismissed his band,
except for Lindley. The two
performed an extended
version of “Cocaine,” in-
terposing a few new lyrics of
their own.

The fiddle-guitar duet, lent
itself admirably to the song,
as the two picked away.

Browne went to the piano
for “Rosie" and “For A
Dancer," afterwards, giving
a grand performance of two
of his finest songs

“For a Dancer,” was
particularly drawing, also
because of Lindley’s slide
guitar feature. His slide was a
important drawing card for
the majority of the show and
during an energetic “Doctor
My Eyes,” Lindley’s slashed
away in a slide guitar style
only equalled by Lowell
George.

Browne performed very
little of his early material,
other than his most popular
song. One exception though,
was “For Everyman," the
title track of his 1973 album,
which earned him another
ovation.

Following “Walking Slow,"
