Penalty for late housing installments dropped

By KENZIE L. WINSTEAD
Staff Writer

As of this year, students who miss
each semester's deadlines for the
University's $100 room and board in-
stallment won‘t be charged the cus-
tomary 85 late fee.

The change came about because
the housing office’s billing services
have been consolidated into the of-
fice of student billings. Jean Lind-
ley. director of housing. said that in
years past the $5 late fee applied to
all housing payments that were paid
late. Now. however. there will be a

$50 late fee on the overall jaymeiits
at the beginning of each semester.
starting next semester. she s. t id,

The $5 late fee was dropped be-
cause there is now one overall bil
ling service. she said. “it was it
provide consistency."

Many students missed this semes-
ter's Nov. 1 deadline for the housing
office's $100 installment. because
there wasn't a reminder about the
deadlines in their mailboxes.

Kathy Smith. staff assistant at the
housing office. said that although
students are complaining. they did
receive notice of the deadline.

"When the student applies for hous.
ing. there is a payment schedule."
she said. The schedule lists that a
$100 installment fee is due on Novi.
"Everyone gets that payment sched-
ule."

But for Jill Carney. a history se-
nior. that was not enough. "i think
it's typical of UK.“ she said. "I
didn‘t know anything about it until
the night before (it was due), Who
keeps their schedule of fees around
to see what they owe UK this
week?“

“I'm just really mad they didn‘t
remind us or anything." said Flor-

ence Hackman. a journalism junior.
“Actually. I believe it was stupid on
their part not to tell anyone. "

Many students were expecting the
notices to be in their mailboxes as
they have been in the past.

Scott Johnston. a marketing se-
nior. was reminded of the deadline
when he saw a sign in his residence
hall lobby. “For the last three years
we got reminders in our mailboxes.“
he said.

Keeneland Hall resident adviser
Patty Knap said. “They were sup.
posed to warn everybody and they
didn’t warn anybody. A girl asked

Class looks at history of UK basketball

By CAROLYN EDWARDS
Staff Writer

UK basketball will be the subject
of a 300 level history course taught
next semester by Bert Nelli. profes-
sor of history and author of The
Winning Tradition: A History of
Kentucky Wildcat Basketball.

Nelli. who is a specialist in sports
history and has been teaching a
sports seminar since 1978. decided to
teach a course about UK basketball
after publishing his book. “I think
this is a one shot thing." he said. “I
just finished the book. and I want to
share with the students what I
learned."

Nelli said the course will concen~
trate on UK basketball as a case

study of the role of sports in the 20th
century. Through this subject stu-
dents will learn to research histori-
cal subjects. through library re-
search and interviewing. and to
write research papers.

Nelli hopes the class will help him
“teach about research in a painless
sort of way."

Students will keep journals on
their readings and class lectures.
which will feature guest speakers
from UK basketball teams since
i967. Students will also practice
“oral history research techniques"
by interviewing guest speakers, in
cluding Joe B. Hall. Jack Givens.
and Terry Birdwhistell. oral history
coordinator for the UK libraries‘
oral history program.

Before writing his book. Nelli
wanted to learn “what UK has been
about all through history." He found
that UK‘s basketball success came
before Adolph Rupp. “He wasn‘t the
whole story," he said. Rupp‘s prede-
cessor. John Mauer. was a very suc-
cessful coach. Nelli said Mauer was
good at the fundamentals and insti-
tuted the system which Rupp used
throughout his career. "He lRUppl
was interested in winning." Nelli
said. “He wanted to win every
game."

Nelli said Rupp‘s importance was
with ”the effective way he sold bas-
ketball. Rupp had a genius for good
press relations. He both sold himself
and the program. He had an inner
fire."

The idea for this program came
from Westbrook, who has a degree

“People needed a friend who knew

people had tried to help friends un-

friendship altogether.

The program is intended to be
practical for the average person. it
will offer guidelines to help frientb.

Student journalists
seek open meetings

Public jimding, Kentucky law linked

in revision of Student Rights Code

By JULIE SCHMl'l'l‘
Staff Writer

A pr0posal that would extend the
Kentucky open meetings law to UK
student organizations has been sub-
mitted as a revision to the Student
Rights Code.

The revision. patterned after .en-
tucky Revised Statute 61. was pro-
posed by the UK chapter of Sigma
Delta Chi. the Society of Profes in-
al Journalists.

Tim Freudenberg. president 01 the
Student Government Association
and a student representative to ‘he
Student Code Revision Committee,
submitted the proposal yesterday.
The committee will study the propo-
sal. along with other student code
revision proposals and submit its
recommendations to President Otis
Singletary. who will present them to
members of the Board of Trustees.

Board members will vote on the
proposals sometime before the end
of the academic year. Freudenberg
said.

The open meetings proposal states
that University organizations which
receive 25 percent of their budget
from direct University appropriation
or allocation from student fees
should open their meetings to the
public and press. and gives
guidelines as to when and how a
meeting can be closed to the media.

The proposal defines a meeting as
“any gathering of committees.
boards, student advisory councils or
any other type of advisory group.
governing or representative senates
or councils. forums or discussion
groups that meet to discuss or de-
cide on matters of interest and con
cern to students and the University
community,“

The proposal goes on to say that
“ ‘Action taken‘ by a committee
means a collective decision or dis-
cussion. a commitment or promise
to make a positive or negative deci»
sion, or an actual vote by a majority
of the members of the University
agency."

According to Sigma Delta Chi
president Andrew Oppmann. the
purpose of the proposal is twofold.
“Freedom of the press is a principle
of Sigma Delta Chi. And the student
body, as well as the general public.
has a right to have access to agen-
cies and organizations that spend
taxpayers' money. Although this
proposal is patterned after KRS. 61.
to which the University is already
bound. the proposal will lend moral
weight to ll. "

Oppmann said the proposal is
valid and important to the Universi-
ty community. “in the fall of 1983,

Kernel. a meeting of the Student

chapter earlier this year. Weaver
was especially pleased with the
work of Dodd Dixon. a political sci-

ence sophomore. and Joe Sears. a
business and economics freshman

Weaver was named chairwoman
of a KISL recruitment committee.
which will try to get the University
of Louisville and other Kentucky
universities into the group Sears
was then elected to replace Weaver
as KISL speaker of the house.

“i held the same position last year
on the high school level tin the Ken-
tucky Youth Assembly». so presid-

Sears said.
