but not threatening law accreditation

By DEBBIE MCDANIEI.
Copy Editor

College of Law Dean Thomas Lewis
said he is not worried about his
college's accreditation situation
despite letters he and UK President
Otis Singletary‘ have received from the
American Bar Association.

"I think it is premature to worry.“
Lewis said yesterday. “We're at a stage
where the ABA has expressed concern
about our promotion and tenure.“

The ABA’s letters say the
organization is concerned about a
non-law “area committee“ making
tenure and promotion decisions for
U K’s law school faculty. According to
the ABA. this may Violate one of its
accreditation standards (number 205).
which states that the law school must
exercise substantial judgment on
faculty selection. appointments.
promotions and tenure.

Although he has spoken with
Singletary' about the letters. Lewis
said. "I hayen‘t talked to him about the
course of action."

The ABA's re-inspection committee
yisited UK last March and filed a
report of possible yiolations with the

organization's acceditation
committee. Those infringements
might place the law college‘s
accreditation in jeopardy.

then the action of that committee and
the action of the uniycrsity is in clear
y iolatioii ofStandard 205. Such action
might. of course. place accreditation
of the law school in some jeopardy."

Although the area comntittec has
determined promotion and tenure of
law faculty for many years. Lewis said
the inspection committee commented
on it. but no action was cyer taken by
the ABA. “It‘s the first time the

lt. (io\. Iliclriia Sto\all. a I979
Democratic candidate lor' goycrnor.
told a large audience ltcre yesterday
that she felt guilty talking about her
gubernatorial candidacy because next
month's congressional elections
should be cyery one‘s primary concern.

Stotall. a hunter member of the
State Iloirs'c ot Represerttatiycs.
pr'eyious Secretary ol State and one-
tirnc state Ir'castrrer'. told her
audience. “Ihcr'c is a great concern
that the I979 gubernatorial race has
held more attention recently than the
congressional races."

Because of .tliis concern. Stoxall'
recently asked the current Democratic
nominees and declared candidates in
last year‘s races to meet and decide
w but needed to be done to help the
current party nominees.

"We all agreed to slow down." she
said. “not a complete stop. btrt a
slowdown to place emphasis on the
campaigns we tell were more
important right now." Because ol this
slowdown. Stoyall said she would
rclrain lr'ont all-out campaigning until
\oycmber.

Stoyall said three years ago. people
were skeptical she would be elected
lieutenant goycrnor because she is a
woman. She said again many people
think her sex will present her lr'orn
winning the goycrnor‘s scat iii I979.

She. Iioweycr. thinks diflcrcntly.

“lhe people ol Kentucky know me
and what I stand lor." she said. “I am
not going to oller high-in-thc-sky
promises and I will use the same
methods ol hard work and common
sense that I hate always Used. I hate
trayeled across the state and will
continue to go among the people to
hear their concerns so I will know first-
hand what the peoplc of Kentucky lccl
they need."

Stoyall said the message ol
(‘alil'onia's Proposition I3 was lOl'd
and clear. and all candidates would
giyc it lip scry ice. " I he question about
tax relorm is not who will do it." she
said. “but who will do it best."

She said her stall is trying to
determine what tax reductions and
reforms would result in the greatest
sayings for most taxpayers.

She said another important issue in
the gubernatorial race is the condition
ol the rural and secondary roads

the roads‘are in horrible condition and

larger schools have several senators
and the smaller onesyust have one. We
cover not only the at-largc student

the freshmen because the elections are

We are trying to correct that. Right

increase in a while. Part of it was
inflation and part of it was because we
wanted to increase student services.

all kinds of services we can provide

people in law school doing research for
them which makes for more ettcetrve

Q. What else has the SG done for
students?

’I'ichenor: Last year the state was going
to raise out-of-statc tuition $300 a
semester. We went down there and
lobhycd to have the increase be over a
number of semesters. This saved many
students some money.

There was no way we could stop the
increase because it is a state law that
UK has to go up in tuition when the
surrounding states do.

minute. Is there any chance UK could
have a pub on campus?

lichenor: Personally. I‘d like to see
one here. but this is a conservative
state.

0. Who was responsible for the co-ed
dorms?
Renner: The 50 was responsible for
all of them. We did the research for it
and the research to show we needed
more dorms. We are also responsible
for getting a student on the Board of
Trustees.

The so has also increased visitation
in the dorms: they now have 30 hours a
week.

'0. How is the student representative to
the Board of Trustees elected?
Tichcnor: It is the president of the 86
if he is a citircn of Kentucky. otherwise
be is elected in a special election.
