Senate Council suggests
tenure policy be kept

By “ALLY lllXSllN
Kernel Staff Writer

In its Wednesday meeting. the Senate
(‘ouncil recommended to the University
Senate that present UK tenure policy be
maintained.

The council was reacting to an ad-hoc
committee report on tenure-promotion
chaired by Dr. Dallas High. chairman of
the Philosophy department. The existing
policy allows faculty promotion to
associate professor without granting
tenure.

TIIE MAJORITY view stated there is no
need for further change in the policy which
was instated last spring by UK President
Dr. ()tis Singletary. High said. "The
majority felt there has been no abuse of
current policy." High added.

The report contained both majority and
minority views The minority felt tenure
should accompany a promotion to
associate professor. High said. The
committee elected to keep existing policy
in a 4-3 vote. Due to the close vote. the

committee included the minority view in
the repon to the council.

The other major action of the council ‘

was to send the question of determining
black contribution in the academic
program to the teaching. learning and
advising committee of the University
Senate.

SINGLE'I‘ARY ASKED the committee
to make a recommendation. The question
arose thnough a recommendation from the
Inventory of Minority Students Program.
a report prepared by Victor Gaines who is
currently employee counselor.

According to committee discussion.
Singletary was disturbed about a request
by the National Association for
Advancement of (‘olored People to Health.
Education and Welfare asking for an
investigation of segregation in state
colleges and universities in Kentucky. A
report of the request appeared in the Nov.
11 issue of the Chronicle of Higher
Education.

The council also recommended the
University Senate to adopt a new law
school course called Litigation Skills.

Scholarship fund drive
develops new approach

By MILLIE DUNN
Assistant Managing Editor

Innovation and change characterize the
form of this year's Martin Luther King
Scholarship Fund drive. according to
Edgar L. Mack. chairperson of the
Scholarship Fund Committee.

Mack. speaking at a training session for
volunteer coordinators of the drive. said
this year the committee is seeking to
increase faculty and community
participation.

“THIS YEAR we've developed a new
approach,“ Mack said. “Our approach is
threefold: to involve more persons as
volunteers. to lift the visibility of the -
legacy of Dr. King in the Lexington
community and to broaden the basis of
support in the community,“

The Martin Luther King Scholarship
Fund was established in I968 after the

assassination of King. It provides financial
assistance for students whose resources
are not adequate to permit them to enter
or to remain at the University.

"Since then (its beginning). support.
interest and enthusiasm in the fund has
diminished." Mack said. ”Our purpose
now is to generate more interst."

MACK SAID the committee presently
has only $50 in its treasury. “()ur goal for
this year's drive is 310.000." he said.

Membership on the committee is
completely voluntary. Mack said deans of
each college suggested an interested
faculty member "We also have volunteers
from the community.” he added. "The
response has been very good."

Volunteers enlist and recruit other
volunteers to particpate in the campaign
and help develop ways of implementing
the drive

said. “It's dogged and it‘s hard work. You
don‘t go into it because it is hot and sexy;
you go into it with a sense of its limitations
but also with its possibilities. The victories
are actually very small ones and the act
itself has to be kind of rewarding.
Otherwise you are in for long hours of
disappointment."

Halberstam lauded teleVision for raising
the public's education level but was
cautious because “it has posed many
questions but does not answer them."

“It's a terrific page one but there isn't
any page two. page three or page four." he
said referring to the electronic media. “So
in a way the print media and other forms
can supplement television. Newspapers
must realize they are no longer the prime
immediate fastest carrier. But they can
explain and answer the things television
poses.

THE MAIN PROBLEM facing the print
media -» more than criticism or threat of
governmental control according to
Halberstam is paper.

"It‘s a terrific problem.‘ he said
referring to the paper shortage. “It‘s very
expensive and it's now dire. The cost of
printing a newspaper is outrageious and
paper is the main handicap."

Ilalberstamalso said unless newspapers
learn to have a narcotic effect upon
readers. to involve them in their
community. to make those people feel it is
mandatory to read them. they will
probably be in dire straights.

Proiect Independence provides
some practical energy proposals

Former President Richard Nixon
set up Project Independence last
January in an effort to make the US.
self-sufficient in its energy needs.
That program's first fruit, a report on
steps the government could take to
conserve energy, was issued
Tuesday.

The proposals. intended as a study
of alternatives rather than specific
recommendations, are practical
conservation measures which stopped
just short of fuel-rationing.
Unfortunately, most of them will
probably never be adopted by the
Ford administration or Congress.

The alternatives include standards
requiring automobiles to deliver at
least 20 miles per gallon, energy-
efficiency standards for appliances.
tax credits for insulation of homes
and commercial buildings, additional
gasoline taxes, restrictions of autos in

Buckley

Students who plan to take
advantage of Sen. James L. Buckley’s
iR-N.Y.) amendment to the
Education Act of 1965, which gives
college students the right to inspect
their confidential educational records
(effective Nov. 19), may not get to see
all they want.

Buckley, responding to pressure
from educators, has said he will offer
an amendment to his amendment
which would maintain the
confidentiality of those records prior
to Sept. 20, 1974.

The original law, as it now stands,
gives students over age 18 the right to
view all records kept on them by
secondary schools, colleges and

Letters to the editor

dovmtovm areas and cooling and
heating standards for new buildings.

Such proposals will probably never
be adopted because the automobile
industry will undoubtedly lobby
against the increased miles per
gallon requirements, appliances
manufacturers will oppose energy-
efficiency standards and oil
companies will fight against higher
gasoline taxes. When such
heavyweight industries as these get
together they usually win.

It is now commonplace to see
advertisements by oil companies
stressing their conservation efforts or
automobile manufacturers
advertising breakthroughs in
emission control devices. These
industries are willing to pour great
amounts of money into public
relations campaigns giving lip
service to their environmental

awareness and urging us to follow
their example, but when substantive
legislation comes up which might
reduce their profits they fight it tooth
and nail.

Requiring automobiles to use
gasoline more efficiently is an idea
which has been booted around for
years. There is no doubt the
technology exists to implement it, but
Detroit technology seems to lay a bit
behind the rest of the world. The fact
that big. gas-eating cars produce
more profit than small cars may
account for this lag.

Government intervention is rarely
the best way to accomplish anything.
but sometimes it is the only way. If
Prof ject Independence is to have any
hope of success it must encompass
restrictions on business as well as
consumers. We hope these proposals
receive more than academic
consideration.

results from intelligence tests and
other records.

According to The Chronicle of
Higher Education (Oct. 21), college
administrators have expressed
concern about recommendations
already in student files which were
written with the understanding they
would be kept confidential.

Several higher education
associations have written members of
the House Education and Labor
Committee and the Senate Labor and
Public Welfare Committee urging
that Congress adopt a resolution
delaying the date the new provision

would take effect. rather than simply
amending the law. They want it
delayed until next July 1 so more
consideration can be given to the
impact of opening student records.

Buckley‘s new amendment, besides
excludingall records prior to Sept. 20,
would also permit students to sign a
waiver forfeiting their right to see
recommendations.

The intent of Buckley‘s original
amendment was admirable. Many
students have long been concerned
about what may be hidden in their
educational records. The secrecy

surrounding those records
contributed to that concern.
It is understandable that

administrators would not want
students to see written
recommendations. as that would tend
to destroy the value of
i'ecommeiidalions. but that is no
reason to delay the legislation.

A reasonable compromise would be
for Buckley to offer an amendment
which would exclude only written
recommendations. We see no reason
to maintain the confidentiality of all
records prior to Sept, 20 a move
which would effectively destroy the
original intent of the lelegislation.

The important thing is that students
be allowed to see what kind of self-
image is projected in school files.
After all. it is their future at stake.

Coal strike

UMW isolated

By BOB (lRlSS

As inflation continues to devour
the little man while sending
corporate profits to new heights,
it is important to examine how
the working class attempts to
protect its interests. Perhaps
more significant than the recent
national election in which 69 per
cent of the eligible voters chose
not to vote. is the efforts of the
organized workers in the coal
industry.

The United Mine Workers
union is making significant wage
demands to catch up with
inflation which has reduced the
miner‘s real income since the last
three-year contract. At a time
when coal profits are up 181 per
cent in an industry which has
traditionally cut miner's wages
to maintain competitive equality
in the face of ruinous over-
production and inter-fuel compe-
tition. the miners are determined
that "it's our turn tocatch up." In
addition to wage increases. the
l'nion is demanding higher per
ton royalty payments to the
llllltHLS welfare and retirement
fund better medical and
retirement benefits. and more
pow er over the safety conditions
lll the mine. reflecting the
sentiment of the rank and-file,

(‘t).\l. \llNth‘. is the nation‘s
most dangerous industry. and the
miners want to make sure that
their lives will not continue to be
sacrificed under the increasing
pressures to Increase productiv-
ity, Since the adoption of the
Federal ('oal More Health and
Safety Act of 1969, ”nearly 800
miners have died in mine
accidents; tens of thousands have
been injured; and 3000 men die
annually from Black Lung."
according to the “UMW Jour»

for

rial," Sept. 16—30, 1974, p. 16.
Unlike the UMW under former
President Tony Boyle, the reform
leadership of Arnold Miller is
committed that “the UMWA will
not trade the lives, health. and
safety of American coal miners
for a little more money on the
day.“ The Union wants a
contractual provision that no
employee will be required to
work under conditions which he
believes to be abnormally unsafe
or unhealthy, subject ony to the
judgment of a union mine-health
and safety committee.

The UMW considers it vital
that its safety committees have
the right to shut down a mine
over an “imminent danger“
without ending up in arbitration.
And recognizing that “against
the rights and prerogatives of the
employers. miners have only one
meangingful right the right to
strike.“ the union is demanding
the right to strike at local mines
over grievances. in all of these
demands. I think the union
deserves our support in trying to
restore the dignity and value of
labor.

But no matter how sweeping
these demands may seem. the
fact remains that the organized
power of the union is narrowly
confined to the conditions of the
work contract in response to
rampant inflation. the UMW is
demanding a cost-of-living escal-
ator clause and higher wages for
therrrselves; not a reordering of
the priorities in the nation‘s
economy. At issue is not
government policy, or the
legitimacy of capitalism, but only
the efforts of the coal miners to
secure their own immediate
position in the capitalist econ-
omy.

 

 

THE l'NlON and the coal
operators each demonstrate their
arrogance for the public by
warning of the inevitability of a
strike. While the public helplessly
awaits the contract deadline. the
media assure us that a coal strike
will produce massive unemploy-
ment. disrupt production, jeop-
ardize our heating, and raise the
already soaring price of energy.
During the secret negotiations,
the public is left out in the cold
unable to consider the reason-

 

Peflit should answer charges

 

By BILL HEV IVOR

in light of the upcoming trial of Terry Brady,
director of personnel for the Lexington Metro
Government. 1 would like to discuss the situation
in its importance for not only Mr. Brady but for
all the citizens of Lexington.

Approximately one year ago I completed an
internship with the metro government. I did not
work in Mr. Brady‘s department. but since he
was in chargeof the intern program I was able to
converse with him freely and often. During this
time I was also subject to many other city
employees' opinions about the progress of the
metro government in general.

UNE til" THE most prominent things I
remember is discussing with Mr. Brady the
challenges facing him in regards to his new
position. He explained to me that there was
much work to be done. mostly because Lexington
had never really had a formally organized
personnel agency. He pointed toward the case
records on the payroll files that showed people
still receiving city government pay when they
had not worked in years.

Put simply the payroll was completely out of
order. This was just one of the problems facing
Terry Brady as he tried to revamp the personnel
department into a smoothly functioning
organization. His main trouble he told me would
be working from within the system. One is
aware. l believe. of the “red tape" involved in
any bureaucratic organization. and to my eyes
Lexington‘s city government is no exception.

Attempting to do his job. Terry Brady found
just such problems overwhelming him. and

finally released reports that accused May Foster
Pettit of playing politics with the civil service
commissions. For this action Mr. Brady was
charged with misconduct in office and must now
stand trial before a closed board.

THIS WILL almost in fact insure that the
public gets minimal access to the facts involved,
and makes this writer wonder just whether Mr.
Brady can receive a fair hearing. But while this
worries me I am even more displeased by the
fact that he. is the man answering to the charges.
Let‘s find out the real facts involved.

We seem to be sure that Mr. Brady leaked out
these charges against Mayor Pettit. but no one
seems willing to care about their validity. Where
is our sense of values? We seem to be examining
the wrong issue here. The key fact to be
determined is whether Brady‘s charges are well
founded.

In a hearing where the investigation is being
run by people who may somehow get tained in a
real investigation. can the truth come out“? Have
we not leamed the lessons of Watergate? Have
we forgotten the value of Daniel Ellsberg‘s saga
with this type of justice“? Will politics remain a
cynical word in Lexington?

I’ICIHIAI’S WE can turn things around. but we
must start by correcting things at home. and
here this means a true investigation of the facts
in this case.

ableness of the demands on either
side.

Perhaps the most insidious
part of this cooptation Charade is
the portrayal of the government
as an impartial mediator be-
tween the coal operators and the
miners rather than as the
principal decision-maker respon-
sible for the economic conditions
which are threatening both the
coal miners and the general
public.

But in contrast to the British
coal strike earlier this year, the
UMW’s demands are not per-
ceived by coal operators or the
government as a challenge to the
capitalist system. Nor are other
unions joining in class solidarity
with the UMW to demand
different governmental policies
or a major social transformation
of capitalism. Like our elections.
even the strike of a powerful
labor union lacks class conscious-
ness. Sure the union is aware of
its own interests in relation to its
employer. but it does not consider
those interests in relation to the
forces imposed by the capitalist
system.

THE TRAGEDY of this tradi—
tional trade-union approach is
nowhere more evident than iii the
history of the l'MW's influence on
the coal industry. For a long
time. the l'MW lacked the power
to protect the nation's miners
from the most blatant exploita-
tion because of the fierce
competition from non-union
mines. especially in the southern
Appalachian coal fields. during
periods of almost continuous
overproduction. Then the union's
protection was rapidly eroded by
a steady increase in productivity
which displaced more than 60 per
cent of the nation's coal miners
between 10:30 and 1970. Now the
union‘s future is again threatened

by the rise of non union strip

mines in the western LKS. which
the UMW has so far been unable
to organize.

The L'MW is probably in a good
position this year to secure its
contract demands for the two-
thirds of the nation's coal that
UMW miners produce. Once the
coal companies are convinced
that the scarcities brought on by
the strike will ensure that coal
prices climb even higher, the coal
companies can absorb almost
any demand of the union.

But the union's failure to meet
with other organizations of the
working class to formulate a
strategy that relates their class
interests to changing the forces of
capitalism ensures that the
members of the UMW along with
the rest of the working class will
continue to be victims of
capitalism. For one irony of the
coal strike is. that the more
successful is the UMW in
increasing the cost of labor. the
more the UMW will be hastening
the transfer of the coal fields
from its stronghold in Appalachia
where ninety per cent of its
member work. to the norrunion
strip mines in the west.

WHEN THE next coal contract
expires in three years. the
l'MW's power to protect its
members may be less because
the union has used the public
today more as a hostage than as
an ally with which to challenge
the forces of capitalism. From
the union which recognized the
inherent weakness of craft
unionism. and persevered under
the leadership of John L. Lewis.
in the establishment of industrial
unionism. we have yet to see a
recognition of the need for a new
united working class strategy to
confront the problems generated
by capitalism

Coal Operators, UMW
reach agreement

\tASllth-TUN 4Al’i ~ President Arnold Miller of the striking
United Mine Workers announced Wednesday that the union had
reached tentative agreement with coal operators on a “very good
contract" which he said could end the nationwide coal strike by
Nov. 25. . . .

Emerging from a day-long bargaining sesswn. Miller said he
thought he would have no trouble selling the proposed agreement to
the 120,000 rank-and-file union members. who must vote their
approval before the mines can be reopened. .

“The benefit package will allow us to go back and eradicate some
of the gross inequities that have existed for years." Miller told
newsmen.

The totalcost of the contract was not disclosed. but indications
were that it could prove to be the heftiest major labor settlement
this year. .

The contract, if approved, would provide wage increases of nine
per cent the first year and three per cent in each of the next two
years.

b The miners would also receive, for the first time, costof-living
increases pegged to increases in the government's consumer price
index.

The union chief immediately summoned his Bil-member
bargaining council from the coal fields to a meeting here Thursday
to consider the tentative offer.

The council must first approve any
submitted to the rank-and—file for ratification
has said would take at least 10 days.
