The Student- Government Senate
voted last night to thank and
commend John Smiley for his “rare
act of courage and humanitarianism"
in posting bail for the Iranian students
but a later resolution reprimanding the
Senate for its lack of support of the
jailed students failed to reach the
Senate floor.

moved to object to consideration of
the resolution. An objection to
consideration prevents a bill or
resolution from being discussed or
voted on because it is “profitless and
irrelevant to the objects of the
assembly.” The objection then must
pass a two-thirds vote in order for it to
carry. Gunnell‘s objection was passed
by the Senate.

The resolution also asked that $6

court in regards to the case...“ and
asked that “Dean Burch and President

recognition for developing America‘s

was Jimmy Caner.

Last week the UK community was

advertisements claiming the course
would increase reading speed of its
students at least three times. These

Senate Council Chairman Joe
Bryant informed the Senate Council
Friday that deans are having problems
interpreting course withdrawal
policies. '

At an ad hoc associate dean meeting
he chaired last Wednesday. the deans
asked Bryant to request that Senate
Council clarify how thoroughly deans
should investigate students‘ petitions
to drop courses with a “W“ rather than
an “E“ when withdrawing during the
last half of the semester.

According to University policy set
forth in Senate minutes which have
not yet been formally codified but are
actively practiced. students can
withdraw from any course up to mid-
semester with no mark on their
'transcript. However. after mid-
semester. students must petition their
instructor. advisor and their college

dean with reasons for withdrawing
from the course.

The accepted reasons for
withdrawal are physical disability.
financial problems and military
service. The item which confuses the
deans states students may withdraw
for immobilizing personal reasons.
.which includes a variety of problems
’such as great sorrow. personal distress
or depression.

Interpreting the severity of each
student‘s case rests with the deans.
who have final approval of the
'petitions. Students must receive
approval from their instructor.
advisor and dean before an “E“ grade
is changed to a “.“W

The associate deans” main question
was how far the Senate Council
expected them to check students‘
stories without prying into their
personal affairs.

Bryant reported one dean said. “I‘m
not going to police.“ while another

said. "I feel obligated to check into it.
at least call the doctor or have the
students bring a note.“

Although some deans said they
didn‘t consider the excuse of breaking
up with a girlfriend or boyfriend
serious enough to disturb their
academic classwork. one dean said.
“Kids have committed suicide for less
than that.“

Bryant said the problem of
interpreting the severity of personal
problems was compounded by the
Registrar's office‘s incorrect October
schedule listing Oct. 3 as the last day to
withdraw without a petition. All
withdrawals received a “W“ according
to the Registrar's office.

“People have been reading the
information schedule and calling the
Registrar‘s office and getting
misinformation.“ Bryant said. “That
(Oct. 3) was the last day to withdraw
without leaving a mark on your
record."

least one hour a day of reading on their

how to develope better study habits.

Cost was also covered in the
intorductory class. Tuition is probably
more than most students can fit into
their budget. The regular price for the
Evelyn Wood course is $345 plus a $50
testing fee. But since students are
known for their lack of funds. the price
is knocked down to $295 includingthe
testing fee.

That still isn‘t peanuts so company
accountants have developed three
tuition assistance plans. hoping that a
student can take advantage of one of
them. A $75 deposit. subtracted from
the total fee. is required before the lust

A Student Government research
request temporarily stalled the Senate
Council‘s decision to implement
voluntary relative transcripts at UK
until the council‘s meeting this Friday.

The item was tabled last week when
Student Government President Gene
Tichenor and Senators Buzz English
and Stockton Wood requested time to
research and receive student input
about voluntary relative transcripts.

The council asked student
government members to determine if

information proposed for inclusion on

optional relative transcripts is
satisfactory or if it should be changed.

“Students are inevitably going to be
pitted against each other.“ said council

entitles a student to pay the tuition in
three monthly payments of $75 with a
$6 finance charge included. The third
plan has six $38 monthly payments
with an inclusive $l3 finance charge.

Each student is tested for speed and
comprehension during the first lesson.
If by the end of the seventh lesson a
student fails to increase his reading
speed at least three times that of the
first testing. then the tuition is
refunded except for the $50 testing fee.
Levitt said most students finish with
reading speed increased five to seven
times higher than their original speed
in addition to a l5 percent increase in
comprehension. In addition. each
graduate receives a lifetime
'membership card entitling him to
repeat the course as many times as he
wants for free.

“The reason people read so slow is

member John Lienhard. “It seems to
me what we want to ask is what‘s the
fairest thing to do.“

According to the proposal. UK‘s
relative transcripts would include
information on the number of students
in each course. the average grade
awarded in each of these courses. the
number of students in the course
receiving the same grade or higher.
and the average cumulative GPA of
the students in the class.

“Something like this really is an
issue that belongs to the students.“
Council Chairman Joe Bryant said. "I
think the bright students would be
glad. It‘s a question of how they‘re
going to look after their best interests.“

College of Arts and Sciences
Assistant Dean Donald Sands. who

authored UK‘s transcript proposal.

wrote in a I977 letter to the Senate

because they were taught to read slow.
The average American reads about
250 words per minute with an average
comprehension rate of 60 percent."
Levitt said. “This is the same speed
that people read at a hundred years
ago. but nowadays we have 24 times as
much material to read than they did
If a doctor doesn‘t keep up with allthe
medical journals that are published
each month he will become obsolete in
five years because he won‘t have the
information on the newest
techniques.“ Levitt said.

_ Levitt has worked for Evelyn Wood
Reading Dynamics off and on for six
years. He has taken the course twice
and has a reading speed of between
3.000 and 5.000 words per minute. but
is not exactly sure how fast he really is
because he hasn‘t timed himself
recently. Levitt took the course right

Council that “students who are taking
thard courses. students whose
.instructors impose rigid grading
standards. and students in classes
populated by high achievers may find
the relative transcript a useful means
of demonstrating academic ability.“

Sands‘ letter stated he first
suggested the relative transcript idea
to the Arts and Sciences Faculty
Council August 24. I977. The Faculty
Council recommended adopting
optional transcripts and sent its
‘proposal to the Senate Council on
December l9. I977.

The Senate Council then sent the
proposal to the Committee on
Admissions and Academic Standards.
who studied and approved it before
ereturning the item to the Senate
Council recently.

Church coUncil’

s donation is

far from a heavenly action

'I he funding of Rhodesian black nationalists by
the World Council of Churches is a hypocritical.
repugnant action. Churches that are affiliated with
the council. and members of the churches
themselves. should join the protest against the WCC
and strongly consider withdrawing from it.

’1 he Controversy centers around $85,000 donated
to the Patriotic Front of Zimbabwe (Rhodesia).
money distributed through the WCC‘s Special Fund
to Combat Racism.

WCC officials say the money was to be used for
“humanitarian“ purposes such as food and health
costs of non—combatants. But revolutionaries
fighting a war don‘t discriminate between sources of
funds. When munitions are needed and money to
obtain them is available. questions aren't asked.

Fine. then so what‘s wrong with a religious
organiration supporting political. even militant
factions? Nothing. except shortly after the grant was
ntade. the Patriotic Front claimed responsibility for
shooting down an unarmed Air Rhodesia airliner
carrying civilians.

’l he rebels denied responsibility for the massacre
of the survivors. which convinced no one. since
they've probably committed as many atrocities in
the conflict as the Rhodesians have.

What’s also disgusting is that the WCC has tried
to justify the funding of wartime atrocities. The
intent justifies the means. or so council Officials
would have us believe. It‘s not important how the
rebels use the money.just that the WCC meant well
when it funded them.

in a particularly gross stand. a background paper
quoted iii The New Republic explains that “the
mathematics of tragedy (referring to the slaughter of

civilians) will get us nowhere.“ That in no way
justifies the killing of non-combatants. and does not
excuse the WCC from being responsible for its
actions.

The Special Fund to Combat Racism gets its
money from donations outside the council‘s regular
budget. Most of it comes from churches. groups.
individuals and governments in Sweden. the
Netherlands and Norway.

Reaction against the Special Fund‘s policies is
beginning to be heard from members ofthe WCC.
In a letter to the Geneva headquarters.
Switzerland‘s Protestant Church attacked it for
taking a decision “which you are in no way
permitted to exercise." The Swiss group asked
“from which spiritual sources“ the council derived
its decisions to give assistance.

The Norwegian Missionary Society asked the
bishops of the Church of Norway to cut ties with the
council. a demand that will be considered next
month. The London-based Salvation Army (a
founding member of the WCC," has announced that
it was suspending membership “pending inquiries“
into the matter. Finally. the Presbyterian Church of
Ireland urged WCC members to thoroughly
"reappraise" the funding grant.

if the council members are unable to change the
Special Fund‘s policies. they should curtail future
contributions. and withdraw from the WCC as an
act of protest. The Rhodesian government. which is
regarded as an outlaw regime by the United
Nations. does not deserve support. But the council is
not justified in hypocritically supporting the
slaughter of civilians by rebel factions in that
country.

Pool protest

Without sounding too bitter I would
like to register public protest against
some of the priorities of the Physical
Education department at UK. It is my
impression that more value is placed
on competitive. team athletics (i.e..
spectator sports) than on fitness and
health.

For example. i try to swim three
miles a week. The swimming is not the
challenge. The challenge is to second-
guess the pool personnel as to when
the pool will be available. Two times
-within the past two weeks. regularly
scheduled public swims have been
canceled because of competitive
athletics. This is particularly
disconcerting because of the very
limited public swim times that are
available at best.

Two weeks ago. I commuted across
town with my gear for a Saturday
afternoon swim. The pool was closed.
The schedule said it was to be open.
Why was it closed? A hurried. penciled

note was stuck on the door: “Pool
closed for football."

What does sitting in the stands.
drinking beer and smoking. haveto do
with fitness and swimming. Maybe i
have misunderstood. Is it a
department of physical education or
spectator sports? Tonight (Oct. 2). l
commuted across town to find that the
pool was closed again. This time it was
a swim meet. I asked a guard if any
new time had been set aside to make up
for the canceled public swim. The
answer was a surprised "No." is this a
department of physical competition or
physical education?

Public swims are Monday.
Wednesday and Friday evenings. and
Saturday and Sunday evenings. These
are not the best oftimes. lfyou have an
evening class on Monday or
Wednesday. and you would like to
share a Friday evening with friends.
you are left with family swims on the
weekends (with lots of kids and
football cancellations).

What about noon hour swims? N0.
the faculty have that. Why not give the
pool to the faculty front II to l2 and
leave the majority of the public?

What about breakfast swims? No
again. Apparently the University
cannot afford to hire lifeguards. What
would it cost? Maybe $l00 a week.
isn‘t one of the justifications for
competitive athletics (is) that they
generate money for fitness education?

Does that really happen or does the
money disappear into football
stadiums. athletic scholarships.
uniforms and equipment. salaries and
airplane tickets?

At a Canadian university. a free T-
shirt is given to any participant each
time he/she swims 25 miles. jogs 100
miles or bikes 500 miles in any six-
month period. Printed on the shirt. for
example. is “I‘m a UVic 25 Miler. . .
Keep on Swimming.“

The distance goals were set at easily
achievable levels. so that shirts can be
incentives to anyone to exercise. Many
people wear them with pride. and in so
doing. model the value of fitnesstothe
entire community.

What we should do is to promote
health and fitness. I am sure that if we
tapped the creative potential of the
many people pursuing fitness. we
would discover many good ideas to
foster the movement.

Meanwhile. I want to go swimming.
