Study indicates inflated grades a possibility

 

Inflated?

Chandra’s study shows several
departments where students have
higher GPA’s than expected from
their ACT scores. Among those
departments are:

Art Education
Erection Curriculum and lnslr.

Educational Policy Studies
Social Worlr

Business

Health and Phys. Ed.

 

 

 

Editor’s note: This is the first of a
two-part series on possible grade infla—
tion at UK

By Lance Williams
Associate Editor

On the surface, grade inflation
may seem like a dream atmo—
sphere. C—Ievel work appears as As
and Bs on a transcript, and rofes-
sors and students live in a lissful
state of coexistence.

According to a study being
compiled by economics graduate
student Amitabh Chandra, several
UK departments show evidence of

grade inflation.

However, all students are at
risk of being hurt by grade infla—
tion at the University, said Louis
Swift, dean of Under aduate
Studies. The less-quali led stu-
dents are being coddled and car—
ried by the University, while the
more-qualified students’ work is
being devalued by placing it on
the same level as everyone else,
Swift said.

“If everybody is above average,’
Swift said, “then what is the aver—
age?”

Chandra’s study is still in
progress, but he already has found

)

that students in departments like
fine arts, business, social work and
education tend to have higher
grades than would be expected
according to their ACT scores.
Meanwhile, grades in science
departments like physics and
chemistry tend be less than
expected from ACT scores.

Chandra’s method took each
department’s courses and the
mean ACT scores of all students
who took the 100—400 level cours-
es during the fall 1993 semester.
The results were then plotted on a
chart to show where a majority of
grades were placed.

The, study found that grades in
many departments were Bs or bet—
ter, even though several students
taking the courses had less-than-
average GPAs.

“\Vhat you have is below—aver-
age students with above-average
grades,” Chandra said.

He added that the mean grade
Universitywide is inflated —
because it is near a 3.0. The tradi-
tional view of grading curves
should place it in a range from 2.0
to 2.5.

Social work students have a
mean GPA of nearly 3.6, but S.Z.
Hasan, dean of the College of

Social Work, said the college’s
setup makes the results seem
inflated.

“When our raduates go out,
they never bot er with grades,”
Hasan said. He said employers are
more concerned with practical
experience and performance,
instead of grades.

Chandra, however, said that
not relying on grades becomes a
tool in recruitin more students in
a particular col ege. He said that
in a college where grades don’t
matter as much, many times the

Ground bro/eon at Clifton Circle for new library

By Stephen Trimllle
Executive Editor

In a season of hope, UK
embarked on its most ambi-
tious project yesterday at a
groundbreaking ceremony for
the University’s new library.

“This is a day to be proud,”
said Lexington philanthropist
John Gaines, who spearheaded
the library’s private fund rais-
ing and generated more than
$21 million for the project.

Several officials took turns
praising UK President Charles
Wethington for his initiative
on the library project before a
crowd estimated around 700
people, including a smattering
of students spread amid the
audience.

Christopher tells
Araiat to stop attacks

JERUSALEM — Secretary of State Warren
Christo her served notice on PLO Chairman Yass—
er Ara at yesterday that he must put a stop to
Islamic militants’ attacks on Israelis if he expects to
spread Palestinian self-rule across the West Bank.

Christopher also reassured Israel’s hard-pressed
government that the Clinton administration con-
siders Arafat’s security pledges “absolutely funda-
mental” to peacemaking. The government is decid-
ing whether to pull Israel’s army out of Arab towns
on the West Bank in the midst of a long siege of
attacks on Israel soldiers and civilians. In the same
vein, Christopher urged Syrian President Hafez
Assad in a 4 1/2 —hour meeting in Damascus to
make a public declaration denouncing murder of
innocent civilians, a US. official said. Assad said he
would consider it.

PENSACOLA, Fla. — His usual bemused smile

“Ma God have mercy on your soul," Circuit
Judge flank Bell lntoned.

Moments later, an abortion foe shouted that
Hill’s blood would be on the hands of the jud e,
the jury and the people of Florida. Last mont a
ju unanimously recommended that the 40-year-
01 Hill be executed.

Report: Plutonium stored improperly

WASHINGTON — As much as 26 metric tons
of highly radioactive plutonium is being stored in
conditions that could endanger workers and
“potentially threaten the public and surrounding
environment,” says an Energy Department report.

The review, which examined lutonium storage
at 35 government sites in more than a dozen states,
found plutonium in leaking and corroding pack-
ages, in cracking plastic bottles, in old decaying
buildings and in pipes, ventilation vents, equipment
and machinery. A department official cautioned
that the possibility of public exposure to plutonium
is extremely low and likely would occur only if a
storage facility were struck by a major catastrophe
such as an earthquake or tornado.

Successor to Bentsen named

WASHINGTON — President Clinton selected
Robert Rubin, who amassed a multimillion-dollar
fortune on Wall Street before joining the adminis—
tration, to succeed Lloyd Bentsen as Treasury sec-
retary yesterday. Bentsen’s departure will derive
the administration of the Cabinet officer wit the
most experience and respect on Capitol Hill just as
Republicans are taking control of Congress for the
first time in 40 years. But the change is expected to
have little impact on policy since both men are pro-
business Democrats.

By Brenna Reilly
Stuff ll 'ruer

From Aunt ,lemima's syru ) to
Gladys Knight's fried chicken,
blacks have been stereotyped in
advertising since advertising
began, a Lexington Community
College counselor said last night.

At the final Institute on Ileal~
ing Racism forum, Charlene
\Valker, also a member of the
Institute’s steering committee,
presented a overview of prejudice
that she said began with slave
advertisements and ended with ads
featuring Michael Jordan and
Shaquille ()‘Neal.

Student Activities Board Vice
President Jason Martin said he
found the portrayal of blacks in
advertising interesting.

“It‘s something a lot of people
don' t address," Martin said. “\Ve
don't touch it in my advertisingr
class, but we should because it is
so blatant."

Martin said advertising is some—
thing people see everyday but

probably do not think about.

After the presentation, the
forum broke into small groups to
look through magazines to see
how blacks were portrayed in the
ads. Participants compared the
number of advertisements featur—
ing blacks with those ads featuring
whites.

A spokesperson from each
group then presented the findings
to the whole group.

The consensus was most ads
featured whites. The ads that fea—
tured mostly blacks, in magazines
like lilwny, were mainly ads for
alcohol and cigarettes.

Business senior Rodney Robert
had nev er been to an Institute
meeting. He said he plans to
attend the meetings next semester.

“In the magazines they focus on
a lot of negative things, like alco—
hol and cigarettes," Robert said.
“It was educational."

After the discussion, refresli~
ments were provided by SAB, and
Institute members mingled with
one another.

“I glad there was time for

al Committee. Vossugh said she
believes the Institute has made a
good start in its effort to heal
racism.

About 30 people attended last
night's meeting, the fourth and
final ineetin r of the semester. The
Institute wil continue its meetings
next semester.

“Hopefully, in seven or eight
months the Institute will (extend)
into the community of Lexing—
ton," Martin said. “This is not
something we can keep on cam»
pus. It is too important."

Dean of Students David Stock
ham, who attended the meeting.
said the important thing about the
Institute is that it is student— initi—
ated.

“It is perpetuating itself,”
Stockham said. “It will not appeal
to thousands, but there is a consis-
tent crowd. People find a certain
amount ofjoy in talking to people
different from themselves in .i
non—threatening setting.

“Very small kinds of things like
this can bring about profound
changes in a world that needs
them.”

The Student (iovernment

officials say students can take their
Diner and Plus Account food
cards to buy food for the needy.

“'ith a swipe of the card, stu-
dents can donate money to the
Hope Center, a volunteer organi—
zation that serves the homeless in
the Lexington community.

Carol Raitz, director of Food
Services, stressed the program is
“completely voluntary." She said
this service will provide a way for
students to give something to the

dents to spread the wealth left on
their card," Raitz said.

Raitz said normally at the end
of the semester, if a student has
$50 or less, the money transfers
automatically into his or her Plus
Account. Anything more than the
$50 goes into a general Food Ser—
vices fund.

This year, instead of just allow—
ing the excess money to go to food
services, students will be able to
give it to the Hope Center.

The voluntary program has not
been completely arranged. said
Amy Abernathy, SGA director of
student services, who is helping to
coordinate the program.

“It's really too soon to tell,"
Abernathy said. “All of the details
have not been ironed out."

Many students said they wel—
come the opportunity to give
money to a charity instead of Food
Services.

“I do not feel my money should
go to UK," said Robbie \Vilcher,
an architecture freshman. “I’m
already paying enough.”

Undeclared arts and sciences
freshman David Bunton was sur—
prised that he would not he get—
ting his money back at the end of
the semester.

He said he thought all of his
account transferred.

Laurie Jones, a chemical engi-
neering freshman, said she thinks
UK is taking her money.

“It’s stealing,“ she said. “They
make you put money in, and then
they don’t give it back."

Raitz said the University is not
stealing student money. She said
they are taking only what the stu—

dents sign up for when they sign
their University housing contract.

“That money is a fee we need
to operate food services,” she said.
“Ifwe did not get it, we wouldn’t
be able to provide nearly the ser-
vices we do now."

Allen Rieman, director of auxil—
iary services, said “even if (a stu—
dent) does not eat a meal all
semester, Food Services still gets
their money because the money is
necessary for operating costs.”

Raitz cited extended hours,
increased choices and more facili~
ties as uses of the money.

“We do not have a magic wand
or a lush budget,” Raitz said.
“FoodpServices does not get one
penny from a general fund.

“If we were a selfish type of
organization, we would just take
the money and say it belongs to
(Food Services)”

Couple that with UK’s
effort to cut down on the
number of threes it forces up,
and you find two teams with
surprisingly similar statistics.

The Hoosiers, through five games, have hit 20 of
50 three-point attempts. UK, in three games, has
exactly the same numbers.

But those are numbers that don't exactly please
Pitino, who pledged less reliance on the three—point-
er at the beginning of the season.

“If anything, really, we’re not getting enough
threes up, and that's hurting our half-court game,"
Pitino said. “I never thought a team I coached would
say that, but we passed up about five open threes

McCarty’s focus
tonight, he said, will be
on “not letting (Hen-
derson) have his way in the post and
keeping him from having an All—
American night.”

On paper, it would seem to take
such a night from Henderson to
give IU a chance to win. But that’s
paper, and this is UK and Indiana.

“\Ve know it won’t be easy,“
Delk said. “They will be prepared.
They have been every time we‘ve
played them."

With an injury to sophomore Sherron Wilkerson, this is lndiana’s weak point. The
Hoosiers have been unable to settle on a starting backcourt, and they‘ve relied
heavily on freshmen to contribute. UK’s Tony Delk was held to just 7 points against
UCLA. his lowest total since he scored 6 last Jan. 18 against Florida.

FRONTCOUBT

The backbone of IU’s offensive attack is power forward Alan Henderson, a potential
All-American. The Hoosiers“ second-leading scorer is swingman Brian Evans, a deft
outside shooter. UK has gotten solid frontcourt play from juniors Rodrick Rhodes,
who scored 16 points Saturday against UCLA, and Walter McCarty.
