UK-U- L

Will Be Studied
By GEORGE JEPSON

Managing Editor
Student Government president Tim Futrell has announced
the formation of a Student Government commission
'comprehensively study all aspects of
the University's proposed merger
with the University of Louisville
and, particularly, the effect the
merger would have on UK students and prospective students."
The commission is composed
of Bill Dexter, chairman; Steven
Mason, vice chairman; Dee
Dearen, secretary; Janet Teuton,
Charles Falls, David Cecil and
Detlef Moore.
The possibility of the merger
first arose when the Kentucky
Ceneral Assembly passed a resolution in 1968 requesting that
the possibility of merger between
the two universities be studied.
The UK Board of Trustees
disclosed in its August meeting,
a favorable attitude toward the
merger under the condition that
the legislature could provide the
funds necessary to maintain existing standards in the UK system.

;..$

In a statement Sunday,
trell said:

Fu-

"Our proposed merger with
the University of Louisville is
probably the greatest educational question facing the commonwealth at this time. Since the
Ceneral Assembly,
Kentucky
which will convene in January
in Frankfort, will make some
decision with regard to our proUK students
posed
merger,
should be fully informed as to
the implication of a merger with
the University of Louisville.
"To that end, I am today
appointing this commission on
University of Louisville merger
to study completely all the possible effects which a merger with
U of L would have on our students and prospective students."
While Futrell charged the
commission with studying all aspects of the merger issue, he
further stated that the "major
consideration should be given to
the financial and academic implications" of the merger.
The commission is to report
its findings to Student Government by Nov. 15.

UK Bookstore Is Under Study
By JIM LINDENBERGER
Kernel Staff Writer

"If any students have any
complaints about the University
Book Store, contact the Student
Government Office in care of
me," Bruce Carver said during
Monday night's Student Government University Book Store investigation committee meeting.
Carver, chairman of the committee which was appointed by
SG President Tim Futrell last
year, said "I've talked to Bob
Blakeman, director of Auxiliary
Services, and he says that if we
can show legitimate reasons for
change in any bookstore policy
he will attempt to change it.
And that's what we're trying
to do."
Carver and summer student
Irene Bowen began organizing
the committee last summer. Their
findings showed that during the
1966-6school year the bookstore
made a profit of .17 percent of
school
the volume. The 1967-6year showed .84 percent profit
from the University Book Store.
This excess fund goes for payment
of the bond on the Student Center and the Complex.
"No one can tell us what the
University Book Store is doing
for the students that the other
two (Wallace's and Kennedy's)
are not," reasoned Carver.
Committeeman Buck Pennington added, "if you're looking
for a specialty book in the University Book Store, you usually
can't find it. You can find Mickey
Spillane, though."
The committee has drawn up

and, secondly, to help pay off
the bond issue, and if our figures
and experiences are true, then the
book store is neither providing
said services nor significantly
contributing to paying off the
bond issue," Carver related.
Carver added, "The Graduate Students Association has
talked about boycotting the University Book Store. VVe haven't
talked about that . . . yet."

Murray Adopts Pass-FaFor Its Teacher Training
il

Murray State University has

become the first

teacher-trainin-

g

institution to adopt the "pass-fail- "
system for the grading of
student teachers.
"Most supervising teachers
welcome the "pass-fasystem,"
said Dr. Don Jones, chairman of
Murray's educational services department. Under the new system,
the student receives semester-hou- r
e
credit instead of
and points for passing his or her
k
student teaching assignments.
The "pass-fail- "
system is beused at more than 300 of
ing
g
instituthe 1,400
tions in the United States today.
Dr. Jones believes the new system will result in a marked improvement in the student teaching program, since there will be
greater emphasis on the student's
involvement in classroom activi
il

ties and more "concern" with
how to do things and how to do
them better, rather than with
grades.

Jones emphasized that there

is a difference in the grading of

student teachers and the grading
of students in an academic class
where each is exposed to the same
learning process as the others.
"In the classroom," he said,
"one person has the responsibility of evaluating the performance
of each student as he or she
class.
compares to the over-al- l
"The situation is different
with the student teacher, since
his performances and effectiveness are evaluated by many different people people differing in
age, sex, knowledge, experience
and, in many cases, the number
of student teachers a supervising
teacher has had in the past."

Who are the pollution sources
most often mentioned in com-

Health

According to Health Department statistics, tobacco stemming
and redrying operations represent
a major contribution to the problem. They pollute their neighborhoods with dirt and obnoxious
odors, resulting in irritation to
eyes, noses and throats of residents as well as the soiling of
their homes and cars.

The burninK of refuse at a
scrap metal reclaim plant and in
salvage yards throughout the city
produces many complaints. Burning oil, rubber and plastics rank
as the worst offenses, as these
spread odors over large areas.

abound.

Commercial laundries and dry
cleaners are other common offender;. UK students have only

* A Rare

Opportunity

The October
Moratorium
presents a rare opportunity for the
University of Kentucky community.
The event, for which classes would
be cancelled in order for students
to attend discussion sessions
throughout the day, offers a relevancy which this campus has lacked
in recent years.
The discussion sessions are not
conference.
strictly an anti-wa- r
Opinions from all aspects of the
issue will be heard. There is little
forces will domdoubt that anti-wa- r
inate the gatherings simply because
they seem to be the more vocal and
more numerous of the two sides.
However, there will be opportunities for those who consider the Vietnam War justifiable to present their
cases. This is the one thing that
makes the day of discussion worth15VVar

while.
One day in October is a small
price to pay for the type of understanding that could be gained from
the discussion sessions. The Vietnam War is a source of anguish to
millions of Americans, young and
old. It is too often put aside, ignored, forgotten, as we try to remove
from our minds a situation that most
of us consider repugnant. In this
process we tend to forget that real
Americans are dying and that we are
killing hundreds of humans weekly..
Ours is a real world, we cannot
deceive ourselves long and benefit
from the deception.
The university community is especially involved in the controversy
for two reasons. First, it isprirnari-- .
ly the college age men who are dying in the war. If we of that age
haven't been confronted with the
draft, we soon will be. We owe
it to ourselves to try to realize what
we are soon to be fighting for. Because the undergraduates are temporarily immune from the war, it
cannot be said that we aren't aware
of its implications. Who among us
has not had a friend or relative
killed or mangled in the terrible
progress of the war thus far?
Secondly, where, if not in an
academic community, should such
matters of universal import be considered? Many people argue against
the moratorium on classes because
they say the University should stick
to academic affairs and let the Pentagon worry about the war. This is
a completely indefensible position.
If our course of study so dissociates
itself from the "real world" astobe
irrelevant to the events that are
transpiring, it is a worthless education. Are we here to watch events
pass, to analyze them thoroughly
and discuss them endlessly, or are
we here to learn the proper methods
of effecting needed changes in order to make our world a little better?
There is no way an institution
of higher learning can remove itself
from the happenings of the world
in which we live. To attempt to do
so is denying the primary function
of our educational goals.
It should be left to the individual
professors to dismiss their classes

The administration
should have no authority over what
a teacher and his class agree to do.
Neither should the department
chairmen be permitted to decide

for their faculty what course they
should follow. Surely our insturc-tor- s
have some initiative and ability to reason for themselves. The
decision must be an objective one.
To fail to dismiss the class because
the professor is in sympathy with
the war effort constitutes the narrowest of attitudes.

For those students and professors who are concerned lest they
not receive their full money's worth,
or provide the instruction they prothere are alternatives.

Classes are often rescheduled because of lesser events.
A successful day of discussion
could do much to remind America of the situation in which she
finds herself. There is even the outside chance that the leaders of our
nation might be made to reconsider their course of action.

This is not an isolated action
at the University of Kentucky. It is
a nationwide effort. It is hoped the
ramifications will be as widespread.

Just thought I'd pass along a little
wisdom to my fellow seekers of that elusive
god, Knowledge. I recieved this tidbit
wise sophoin a letter from a young-olmore attending Amherst College, Massachusetts. The following is an excerpt
from his letter.
"Resentment grows daily against Richard and his meanderings over and near
the Vietnam War . . . never on it. The
moratorium Oct. 15 has a phenominal
amount of support and should be
What tangible, violent, or
otherwise that will come from it so that
the NBCCBSABC people can get some
durn good copy remains to be seen.
Hopefully, and this is the way it's
shaping up so far, there will only be
people and the resistance and opinions.
Carooovy! I will attend whatever happens
except that my one class that day is worth
attending and I will do that. My gripe
is not with the school's administration at
least on this issue not with the faculty,
and not with the course. Oy vch, who
knows maybe I meet nice idea in both
places and marry them!"
(S. J. Swensson, Soph.

Amherst College)

Think about it. Maybe we could all
use a little matrimony of this kind, regardless of our Dove or Hawk or
positions.

By PATT MANEY
All right children, everyone pay attention . . . There's going to be a birthday party for all UK Kiddies cause the
student government said so. Uncle Timmy
has decided to sign a bill,
by

"Young William" Dawson and "Little"
Linda Bailey, which would celebrate M.
Chandi's one hundredth birthday October 11. (Chandi would have been one
hundred October 4, but that's just one
small inconstancy.)
Out of the one hundred-fiftstudent
government dollars alloted to the project,
$96 will go to the rental of three films
on Chandi's lifeone film is in Indian, two
in English. It's really nice of them to show
two of the films in English! Twenty-fiv- e
bills will be shelled out for advertising. It makes one wonder if the ads
are going to be in Indian? Perhaps in the
"Bombay Times?" Or perhaps the "KenEdition." Actually,
tucky
the money will be given to the Indian
Student Association (220 members) to
lie Man's death.
Perhaps this will set a precedent
UK Republicans (450 strong) may wish
to hold a "Barry Coldwater Heart Day,"
and the Y.D.'.s a "Teddy Kennedy Day."
After that, we could have the Timmy
Futrell Fan Club sponsor an adoration
day for their idol, the American Party
have a "George Wallace Day" and the
Irma la Duce Day. (The latter is no doubt
by far the largest unorganized club on
campus.)
If tlie Student Government bows to
the demands of all these groups, they'd
be out several thousand dollars and every

body would flunk out from going to
Peace Day and May Day and Ray Day and

Heart Day.
I admit, it is reassuring to know our
greek student government representatives
are not constantly debating the academic
relevancy of the Sigma Chi Derby. I
mean, these guys have plans for UK,
