Chemistry instructors refuse to change grades

Hy STEPHANIE W .\l.l.N ER
News Editor

Students who want their Chemistry 105 grade changed
are going to have to pursue it themselves

The Senate (‘ouncil met yesterday With chemistry de-
partment representatives to discuss the possible retro-
active change of grades distributed to the Spring and
Fall 1983 classes

According to Robert (iuthrie. chairman of the chemis-
try department. 70 percent of the Chemistry 105 stu
dents last semester received a ”I)” “E" or "W "

"It was a rather peculiar distribution of grades in
t'heniistry 10:3. 'said Douglas Rees. councdchairman

".-\s of this date ‘general chemistry lnSU‘UCIOI‘St
are not willing to change those grades from past semes-
ters '(iuthriesaid

“I think we all agree they tgradest were too low he
said. "My position on that is if it were to be shown that
we made an error in assigning grades. I as director
would support (grade ‘ changes "

Guthrie and Butterfield Cited grading policy for those
semesters as the main reason for the sudden drop in
overall chemistry grade p0int averages, The policy dur
ing the two semesters was a “no drop” policy. meaning
all four examinations and a final were counted in aver
aging grades

"In the history of the situation there were some
complaints about the drop policy no tests were
dropped." Guthrie said “We were told by the Senate
that we could no longer use that mechanism as a make
up exam "

"There are two semsters where a substantial number

of those (studentsi were penalized." Glen Collins. a pro
iessor of agronomy. said “If I were a student in that
group i 'D‘ or ‘E' i I would be concerned about it

“They have admitted there is an error. an error due
to the way the grading was scored." Scott Yocutr a
counCil member. said “And then they said they
weren't gomg to do anything about it "

"We've got a change in the system without an aCt'Ulli
modation to people who might be hurt by it. said An
drew Grimes. a professor of managment and a conncii
member it

"There was no provision for allowing those tn the
transition a chOice of going into the new system or
going in the old." he said

"There‘s two semesters of students caught
their grades deviated extremely .' Yocuni said

"We in chemistry believe there is a certain lei-ei oi

Researchers to interview
2,510 marijuana users

By EMILY MORSE
Staff Writer

The long-term effects of marijua~
na use will be the focus of a study
by two sociology professors with the
aid of a $1 1»million grant from the
National lnsttute on Drug Abuse in
May

Dick Clayton and Harwin \‘oss
will reinterview men who partici-
pated in a nationwide sample of 2.-
510 subjects more than i0 years ago
They were involved in the initial
study conducted by John O'Donnell.
a former L'K sociology professor.
who died in 1979

“It‘s probably the best sample
ever drawn ifor the social set»
encest." Clayton said. “It is the only
study ever done that had access to
the selective service file."

Access to the file allowed them to
select from the nationwide popula-
tion of men between 20 and 30 years
old who had been required by law to
register for the draft.

”It is the only major nationwide
study designed to study the long-
term heavy use of marijuana."
Clayton said. “We will also be study-
ing the use of cocaine and other
drugs."

The results of the study conducted
10 years ago showed that 55 percent
of the participants had used mari-
juana. 14 percent had used cocaine
and 6 percent had used heroin.

"Other surveys at that time
showed only 1 or 2 percent had used
heroin, but we only included ages 20
to I!) and they included the whole
age range."

In Manhattan. the region the re-
searchers studied to represent a
high drug-use area. 26 percent of the
34 participants had used heroin.

All the interviews were conducted
personally and the interviewees paid

 

"Wefouna’ that by
. a certain age. if
they haven ’t smoked
marijuana, then there
is" ’t much chance they
will. "
Harwin Foss.
sociology professor

$20 each for a one- to two-hour inter-
View

"It is amazmg how willing they
are to talk about their experiences."
Voss said “BaSically. all the men
interviewed were pretty honest and
forthright. The only thing they don‘t
like to talk about is their parents‘ or
spouse‘s experiences They have the
feeling you should talk to ithe par-
ents or spouse: if you want to know
that."

About six months of the three
years during which Clayton and
Voss will receive the want “‘1“ be
spent locating the participants

“Ten years ago we sent people to
interview as far away as Alaska.
overseas and in the Far East.“
Clayton said.

The rest of the time will be spent

ing them to the interwews, Another

sponsible for the field study.

“The field study is too large for IE
to conduct here at UK." Voss said.

The extra mile

Nothing stops those who walk or btkc to their c/tryscs

By MARTHA REED PERRY
.s‘taff Writer

Neither rain nor sleet nor dark
of night will keep those who walk
or bike to campus from getting to
their classes

“l ride my bike to campus in
rain. snow k you name it." Stuart
Victor. 8 political sc1ence semor
said. "I have no chOice. It's either
that or walk " Victor said he rides
about two miles a day to get to
and from class.

There are several problems in-
volved With riding a bike to cam
pus. Victor said. including flat
tires. the possibility of theft and
the danger of acc1dents. He said
most acc1dents occur in bad
weather and that his most recent
spill on the ice was only a little
more than a week ago

"lce is really bad." Victor said
“You feel yourself slipping and
it's just a question of which way
you want to fall "

John Cesler. an English junior.
has his own personal complaints
about riding his bike two miles to
campus

"Cars are dangerous. they‘re
out to kill.“ Cesler said. "I almost
got killed on Limestone. I had
to jump off my bike. onto the side-
walk. to avoid being hit by a car “

Caler said one reason he likes
riding his bike is that it “balances
out my smoking . . . The exer-
cise is good for me." He also said
it is “really daring and danger-
ous. riding your bike through the
city."

Others prefer to walk to cam-
pus. Tracy Webb. an English ju-
nior. said she walks more than
onemiletoget to her classes

“It relaxes me." she said.
"There‘s no reason for me to
drive.“ She said she does not

By DEAN N A SHELL
Staff Writer

The Physiman Assistant Program. in the College of
Allied Health Professions. educates and trains skilled
health care members to assist physwians in their occu~
pations

"Phys1cian Assistants are highly trained members of
the health care team who. working under physician su
pervismn. are qualified to perform a wide range of med
ical tasks traditionally carried out by .i professional."
said Peter Rosenstein. executive director of the \nieri
can Academy of PhySiCian Assistants

PAS are trained to provide a wide range of medical
care such as taking medical histories. conipleiing l)h_\'\l
.in examinations and counseling of patients while work
mg with a phySician

According to a November letter to the Kevitiirhx Kw
".t’i. there are 16.000 practicing PAs and 1.500 gradual

completed at least 60 hours in undergraduate work and
should have some prior patient health care work experi-
ence before applying for acceptance into the program.

The PA program has a selective admissions policy be-
cause of the “limited number of positions available and
the increasing demand for PA education." Combs said.
The college's Admission Committee looks at personal
interview scores. grade point averages and prior health
care experience

PA students in their junior years fulfill the didactic
phase of the program by taking such courses as physiol-
ogy. pharmacology. radiology and anatomy This phase
ilK'llses on the baSic. behavioral and clinical sciences.

Phase II for senior students consist of actual work in
\.ll‘ltlUS medical settings and may be involved in the
areas of family practice. surgery, internal medicine and
psychiatry

Sarah Staples. a graduate of the program and practic-
iiig PA. who works in the internal medicine department
of the l'K Medical Center said the program provides
' haiidson experience "

There are more than 50 PA programs in the country.
out four states — Kentucky, Missouri. Mississippi and
Minnesota — do not have PA legislation or regulations
defining the PA practice.

The I'niverSity now has a non-degree. 24-month PA
program. and that program does not have any rules or
legislation regulating it. Physicians may have problems
determining who is a PA

All practicing PAs should be graduates from schools
accredited by the Committee on Allied Health Educa-
tion and Accreditation and should be certified by the
National Commisswn on Certification of Physician's As.
sistants for six years They must be recertified every
two years. according to the national certification com-
nllllti‘

The General Assembly may be able to help people
recognize the formally trained PAs by passing House
Bill 361 which plans to regulate PAs in the state. The
bill. introduced on Jan. 17. was developed to protect the
public. liiwy ers and hospital administration from people
w ho say they are PAs but are not.

This legislation could make sure that “PAs are in fact
I’As who have graduated from an approved program
that has passed national certification and is recognized
it} the medical license board," Combs said.

HR 361 is sponsored by Rep. Carl Perkins. D‘Hind~
man and has 19 cosponsors It will be deemed during
this session of the Kentucky General Assembly The As-
sf‘n‘illl_\ has defeated similar legislation the last five
tunes that it has been introduced.

The first PA program was started at Duke UmverSity
ii: I963 by Dr Eugene A Stead Jr to train assistants
for the primary care phySician. Congress has encour-
aged the development of the profession by providing
funds for the program beginning with the Comprehen-
sn e Health Manpower Training Act of 1971.

In 1966 the L'mversity began training two PAs in an
experiment with the help of the College of Allied Health
Professions. department of medicine and a practicing
internist

““As a result of this proiect. explorations were begun
to determine the feasibility of developing and funding
an educational program." said a bulletin supplement of
the Physician Assistant Program.

to do that well again." Some stu-
dents have been invited to the
banquet each time for the past
three years. he added

“I feel that the luncheon was
very nice.“ said Johnny Jones. a
marketing senior and football
player “'It was great on the vice
chancellor‘s part to organize it.
When one is donig something well
he should be recognized. It is nice
to know that I am being honored
for more than just athletics."

Professor returns to teaching post
as chairman comes back from leave

By ANDRE“ DAVIS
Senior Staff Writer

The changing of the guard has
happened once again in the physics
and astronomy department with
chairman Fletcher (labbard's return
from his recent sabbatical

He replaces William McEIlistrem.
a phySics and astronomy professor.
who was acting chairman Gabbard
took his sabbatical from July to late
December 1983 and McEllistrem
was chosen to take his place for one
semester

“You take leaves with mixed feel»
ings." Gabbard said He said he was
both glad to be back and sorry the
sabbatical was finished He said he
deCided to take the leave of absence
to pursue his scholarly interests

Gabbard left [K for a semester to
work with Atom Sciences. Incorpo
rated of Tennessee. where he
worked on a protect involving nucle
ar physn's

At Atom Sciences. Hubbard's

work involved solar neutrinos. which
are nuclear particles emitted by the
sun. he said Gabbard worked on
new ways to count the neutrinos
This work is a part of a more gener»
aI problem of counting rare atoms in
the presence of large numbers of
other atoms. Gabbard said

While Gabbard was working on his
sabbatical. McEIIistrem served as
acting chairman

"It's a completely different way of
life than being a professor." McEI.
listrem said. “A chairman deals
with personnel problems A chair
man‘s life is highly programmed
and busy "

A professor's life. however. is
guided by the erXibiIity of his or tier
schedule. McEliistrem said ”The
flexibility is necessary so that he
can operate as an intellectual." he
said “The chairman. it seems to
me. has to give up all of that in his
functions as chairman and function
in a highly coordinated. programatic
environment where most of his day
is dictated '

McEIIistrem also said the acting
chairman position also affected his
views on his professorship.

“The challenges lof being chair-
man1 are different. and I can't say l
enjoyed it.“ he said “‘I appreciated
that the issues I dealt with were im-
portant I was very pleased with the
people with whom I had to deal
with The administration was sup-
portive and cooperative within the
limits set by resources

"I enjoy very much the way of the
professor." he said. ”In fact. I used
to come back and work in the chair-
man‘s office and see professors,
winch I was before. standing at their
mailbox perusmg in kind of a cas-
ual. semi-distracted way at their
mail. And I kind of envied them
and the apparent relaxation with
which they were functioning at that
moment “

Gabbard said McEIIistrem did a
"fine Job" as acting chairman
McEIlistrem. however. was not so
sure that he did

'“I think I did an adequate job."
)lcEllistrem said. “I knew what it
'being a chairmanl was about. but I
never tasted it before."

tither professors in the physics
and astronomy department. howev-
er. thought the department ran very
smoothly with McEIlistrem as chair-
man

“I think things worked just as well
‘Wllh McEIIistrem as chairman)."
Thomas H Troland. a physics and
astronomy professor. said. Troland
said he tlunks McElIistrem did a
better Job as chairman than McEI~
listrem would WISh to admit, “He's
being falsely modest." he said about
McEIIistrem‘s own job rating.

““I think he did a good job," said
Joseph W. Brill. a physics and as-
tronomy professor. “The everday
running rof the department) went
very well. We're lalsot glad to have
Gabbard back - we're glad to have
both of them here "

 Spanish department revives graduate-run sch

By FRAN STEWART
Staff Writer

The Spanish department now has
an aid to graduate students unique
to other departments at UK and
most other universities.

Ariel. a scholarly journal, has
been revived thanks to John E. Kel-
ler. a Spanish professor. The jour-
nal. which was established by Keller
in 1967. faded out of existence in 1972
but was revived in 1983. Keller said.
"We've begun to get material to put
together for it. "

The Spanish and Italian Graduate
Students Association will publish
Ariel and graduate students in the
department will edit and bind the
journal.

According to Keller, articles vm't-
ten by graduate students will be
published in the journal. Occasional-
ly articles from faculty members
and articles from graduate students
at other universuies will be printed
in Ariel

Ariel will be published once a se-
mester and will contain “six to 10
articles and two or three book re-
views," Keller said. According to
Keller, about 20 graduate students
could have their work published in
the journal in a year, but there are
about 45 graduate students in the
Spanish department.

“They can't all write articles or
(the journal) would be too big," Kel-
ler said. “We couldn‘t afford it." He
said the journal must be restricted
in the sense that the same people
cannot write all the stories.

“Generally the students get their
own ideas for articles," Keller said
"They might be taking a class and
find some area that needs to be re—
searched."

The articles are carefully eval~
uated by the editorial board. which
consists entirely of graduate stu-
dents. and Keller. the editorial con-
sultant.

Publishing the journal involves the
entire graduate program. he said.

1968 and was revised around 1976
She said the program only is avail»

sound easier she said. it takes a
good bit of planning

“A lot of people think it is some»
