ROTC's Rogers to reCeive

Yesterday, Mary Ann McNulty, marketing
junior. tried to catch the sun’s best angle at

first UK Marshall honor

By CATHY AYNES
Kernel Reporter

The first George C. Marshall
ROTC Award to be giver at UK will
be presented April 19 to Gregory N.
Rogers of Lebanon, Ky. It is
awardai by the US. Army to the
outsmning senior in each of the 290
college and university ROTC
detachments.

“I was suprised,” Raga-s said. “I
felt quite honored about the whole
thing."

Rogers was chosen by ROTC of-
ficers at UK who based their
decision on a list of guidelines for the
award. “The winner must show
leadeth and scholastic abilities,”
said Capt. Philip Hesson, a military
science instructor. “Rogers was our
most prospective cadet. He’s our top
cadet. and an outstandng young
man.”

Rogers, a brainess administration
senior, will receive a regular army
commission upon graduation this
May and will attend his officers’
basic course in air defense artillery
at Ft. Bliss, Tex.

“I may make a career out of it,”
Rogers said. “I’m going into it with
an open attitude.”

Rogers will be presented with a
certificate from the Marshall
Founddion and a set of the
biography of Gena-a1 Marshall. In

addition, he will attend a conference
on national security of the United
States in Lexington, Va., April 20-22.

“I’ll have a chance to see a lot of
people I’ld probably never eva1 get
close to.” Among the speakers at the
conference will be Dean Rusk,
former Secretary of State and
General Bernard w. Rogers, Army
Chief of Staff.

The George C Marshall ROTC
Award is named the former Army
Chief of Staff, Secretary of State and
Secretary of Defense. Marshall also
won a Nobel Peace Prize winner.

Rogers is interested in a variety of
activities, especially those which
keep him outdoors. “1 especially
enjoy doing farm work like putting
up hay,” said Rogers. He is married
to Gwen Whitehouse, also of
Lebanon.

Rogers was enrolled in ROTC at

Marion County High School where
he served as battalion commander
in his senior year. Last semester
Rogers was battalion commander at
UK and holds the rank of Lieutenant
Colonel Cadet. Rogers is an adviser
to the professor of military science
and acts as limo between the
cadets and officers.

Rogerssaidheispleasedwiththe
beneﬁts ROTC has to offer. “it
exposes you to another view of the
world . . ROTC takes away the
playfulness of school. Itputs you in a
real situation and gas you involved
with people. It doesn’t teach you to
be aggressive but how to handle
people—but not manipulate them.
ROTC gives you a little conﬁdence,
and if you have conﬁdence in
yourself, you know what you’re
doing and that makes you competent
to lead other people.”

Lexington. Kentucky

Campus senates criticize
proposed tuition increase

By DEBBIE MCDANIEL
Kernel Staff Writer

The University Senate yesterday
unanimously passed an amended

resolution opposing a state Council

on Higher Education committee’s
recommendation to raise out-of-
state tuition by $150 per semester.

The council will consider the $300-
per-year increase at its regular
meeting tomorrow. The recom-
mendaion was made by the coun-
cil’s Finance Committee.

The resolution, sponsored by
Student Government Senator Mark
Benson and circulated prior to the
meeting, said the increase would be
the second in two years for out-of-
state students, and shows a two-year
tuition hike from $625 in 1976-77 to
$900 this fall.

The present tuition rate is $750 for
out-of-state and $275 for in-state
students.

According to the resolution, “This
increase will add to the already
difficult financial situation which
threatens these UK students
many students will be forced to
reassess their financial ability to
continue their education at the
University.”

The resolution said the proposed
tuition increase for out-of-state UK
students would be three times that of
other public univa'sities in Ken-
tucky.

“This is a stiff increase and I’m
concerned with the differential
between in-state and out-of-state
student tuition,” said Admissions
and Registrar Dean Elbert
Ockerrnan. “At this point we’re
comparable (with other states’
universities in tuition). If we come
along with the $300 increase we will
not be compditive.”

English Professor Michael
Adelstein said, “I appeal to you, not
as faculty but in your role as
parents. I predict a sort of ripple
effect will take place; other state
colleges will also raise their rates,
preventing us from sending our
children to out-of-state schools. I
think this is highly undesirable.”

In other action, Acadanic 0m-
budsrnan Dr. Frank Buck gave his
annual report to the University
Senate and reported 159 valid
academic complaints this year, with
six cases still pmding.

“Grades are still the biggest
complaints we get,” said Buck.
“Students are va-y grade oriented.”
Although h's office received fewer
complaints this year, Buck said that
for the first time in over two years,
seva1 cases appeared before an
appeals board.

A substantial number of student
complaints originated from four
colleges: 74 from Arts and Sciences,
16 complaints from Engineering, 15
from Business and Economics, and
11 from Education.

In his report Buck outlined 18
common problem areas which in-
clude: teachers who fail to report
gradestotheRegistrarontime,thm
interfering with graduation; in-
consistencies in grading exams,
research papers or reports; ming
unique grading curves; cheating
and plagiarism; and complaints of
misleading advice from academic
advisors.

“We found many students on
campus were not even aware there
was an academic ombudsman office
on campus,” Buck concluded.

In a report on the Ethics and
Academic Responsibilities Ad-Hoc
Committee’s findings, Chairman
Nicholas Pisacano lamented the
misuse of grants and pant funds,
the personal advancement of faculty
members at the expense of their
students, and the abuse of tenure.

In addition, Pisacano argued
against the “groveling behavior of

administrators” when wealthy
alumni come to campus, and in
regard to the Faculty and Student
Codes, which he said were ignored
and meant little. instead of following
codes, said Pisacano, “one should be
upright, not kept upright.”

“We believe unethical behavior
can be brought to a minimum or
eradicated,” he said. Pisacano,

though, was skeptical of the effect
the report would have. “We suggest
that the Committee accept this
report, and file it.”

Student Senate urges

students to protest
out-of—state tuition raise

By JACK WAINWRIGHT
Kernel Staff Writer

The Student Senate last night
passed a resolution opposing a
proposed increase of out-of-state
tuition at public colleges and
universities in Kentucky Earlier
yesterday, the University Senate
passed a similar bill.

The resolution, which urges
students to protest the recom-
mendation, asks that a gradual
increase over two years be used
instead of a one-year increase.

The recommendation, made by
the state Council on Higher
Education’s Finance Committee,
would raise out-of-state tuition from

$750 to $900 per semester. The.

council will act (:1 the proposal
tomorrow.

The senate also passed a bill which
opposed the resignation d Honors
Program Director Robert 0. Evans.
The Senate urged that Evans con-

Officials at Kentucky State learning it's hard to
attract whites to a predominantly black school

One of the more sensitive subjects
that the state Council on Higher
Education is expected to touch on at its
meeting tomorrow is the integration,
or lack of it, at Kentucky State
University.

Kentucky, along with several other
states, is receiving attention from the
U.S. Department of Health, Education
and Welfare for schools that still have
disproportionate black-white student
ratios. Kentucky State has also
received local criticism for its high
outdo,ut-of-state enrollment.

(Eighty-five percent of the 1,360
fulltime Kentucky State students are
black. Fifty-eight percent of the total
enrollment is black. The faculty is 51
percent black, and 32.9 percent of the
students are from other states, in

comparison to the council policy, a 20
percent limit.)

Anxious to avoid. threats of lost
funding from the federal government,
council members and other state of-
ficials are seeking to resolve the
problem. The council is expected to
order a study on why Kentucky State
continues to be the state’s “black”
school. Recently, there has even been
some conjecture that recom-
mendations will be made to reorganize
Kentucky State as a community
college or a branch of UK.

That would be the wrong step to take,
because the school should be given
more time to change.

Dr. W.A. Butts, Kentucky State
president, has clearly adopted a policy
of encouraging more whites to attend

the school. Out-of-state recruiting has
been eliminated (many of Kentucky
State’s black students are from states
whose universities have higher
tuitions) and two white recruiters have
been appointed.

The school is making a strong effort
to reform, but is hampered in
recruiting white students by its long-
standing image and competition from
nearby UK and University of
Louisville. The higher-than-normal
faculty-student ratio and adverse
publicity over a drug-related murder
last year has not helped.

In the current University Mission
Statements, the council’s guide for
what each school’s goal, recognition is
given to Kentucky State’s “h'storic

role in the education of blacks . . . and
Kentucky State should expand its ef-
forts to build a library of pertinent
historical materials.” Such an in-
struction provides legitimacy for the
school’s special importance for blacks,
and it is important to have a cen-
tralized black culture program at a
state university. That mission con-
tinues to be valid.

Additionally, Kentucky State’s
mission statement outlines important
functions that only a unive‘sity in the
state capital can best perform: “focus
on the special needs of state govern-
mental employees and expanding
needs of state government. . .oriented
toward career opportunities and
related human and public service

delivery and gova'nmental services
. . . emphasize public administration
curricula to meet the needs of state
government."

Kentucky State has the potential to
fulfill thrse missions, and should be
given more time to attract more white
and in-state students. It is too early to
consider annexing the university or
changing its status entirely.

State officials should realize what
Kentucky State and other schools have
learned: It is much more difficult to
attract white students to a traditionally
black college than to bring blacks to a
white school, especially when the
school’s programs are only beginning
to be upgraded to the levds of nearby
universities.

Ask yourself. . .

I once said that my mind was a
filing cabinet of half-sentences and
synapses which jumped about like
live wires dancing in a storm. Well,
I’ve carried this carcass around for
23 years, and I’ve gotten used to it.

You know, I used to think it was
the big injustices that really did the
damage. Lately, I've seen so many
petty injusticgs aimed at people that
I’d like to recognize some uniquely
unworthy persons.

Topping the list are two people
who would make a great song and
dance team in the Auschwitz
Follies — Steve Hohman and Anita
bryant.

Steve made his break into the big
leagues with the most shirt-sighted,
gutter-mouth comment I’ve ever
seen about homosexuality.(Ed.
Note: Steve Hohman Is the author of
the letter titled “Faggot Five"
which appeared in the Kernel
Monday, April 3.)

Anita, no rookie in the field,
suggested 20-year mandatory
sentences for hanosexual offenders.
When pressed about the incongruity
of sentencing homosexuals to prison,
what the rate of homosexual “of-
fenses” is often high, she suggested
that it would give them plenty of
time to think. Apparently, 40-odd
years hasn’t done much for her
thinking.

Anita has always topped the list of
sad characters in my book. I think
any credibility she evber had—
which was marginal at best - was
lost when, in her desperate concern
for the effect of homosexuality on

her children, she consented to in-
terviews in two “skin-books,”
Playboy and Penthouse.

It’s been my experience that the
most rabid sexual bigots are usually
thrse who are most unsure about
their own sexuality, and project
their fear outward, onto others.
Charles Main, who agonized over the
decision to print Hohman's letter
last week, conarrs with me; it his
both his and my hope that by
pointing up the idiocy of Hohman’s
anti-gay rights position, we might
draw attention to the need for a
more open forum on gay rights to be
established on this campus.

I’d like to thank the Sttudent
senate for their passage of the bill
providing partial funding for Frank
Wilkinson’s speech. Their support
suggests that, at last, there might be
an awakening of the total scope of
our personal responsibility to others
and to the fredoms we enjoy and
must defend, and to the long
distance we must go to ensure that
all people share in thase freedoms.

I must note that I was really
disappointed in the Senate’s failing
to provide funding for the other part
of the forum, which will feature
Hector Marroquin, a mexican
student dissident currently facing
deportation by the Immigration and
Naturalization Service; if the INS
succeeds in deporting Marroquin, he
will face imprisonment and, most
likely, death in his home country.

I was struck by the insular “UK
for UK" attitude there. One senator
suggested that in supporting
Marroquin, the Senate would have to
support every political candidate

that came down the pike. The ab-
surdity of the statement was
heightened when, after defeating a
funding bill for Marroquin, the
Senate passed a bill funding a forum
for Kentucky political candidates.

All in all, if the Senate can keep in
mind the full cope of their personal
and political responsibility, we
might make it yet.

Frank Wilkinson, the foremost
expert on the proposed Criminal
Code Reform Act (S. 1437; H.R.
6869),willbehereonApri124. He’ll
be speaking immediately following a
forum on Marroquin. For anyone
concerned with the crisis of
democratic freedoms, which have
been under assault on both state and
national levels, this evening
presents a unique educational op-
purtunity for hearing perspectives
not usually available to the public
through the media.

Contrary to the position of the
illustrious Student Senate, these
issues are of immediate importance
to us all; rights are funny things —
we never really miss them until we
need them and they aren’t around
anymore. Then it’s too late. Most
undergraduate students, I’m sure,
were too young to remember the
Freedom Riders or the anti-war
protests of past years. One thing
recent history suggests is that the
fight for basic rights and freedoms
requires constant vigilance and
dedication. Both frank Wilkinson,
who went to prison for deffending
peolple against the might off the
House Un-American Activities
Committee in the late 1950’s, and
Hector Marroquin are such
dedicated people. Come hear them.

\A last note — about Rupp Arena.
You’ll pardon me if I feel that there
are a hell of a lot of things more
important than whether Mr. kagan
felt the employees of Rupp Arena
gave him enough deference. i found
them to be helpful and courteous,
and holding up well under the
pressure from thousands of college

students who feel they should get
some special treatment became
they are educated, white and-or
rich.

Ask yourself an important
question tonight, before you sleep.
Ask yourself the question John Batt
once asked me: haveI pit my ass on
the line for a lrother or a sister
today?

Comes down to it, folks, it’s about
all that matters.

’Have I put my ass on the line
for a brother or a sister today?’

P.S. — Come down to the
Rathskellar and hear me squeak on
Thursdays. I do a great softshoe
from 9 till 1.

The gator dance hits UK
and it is done ala Greek

By NELL FIELDS
Assistant Arts Editor

The Gator Queens live on
the top floor of Donovan Hall.
They won’t readily admit it,
but all the girls know who
they are. After all, they have
a legimate excuse to keep
their traps shut—gatoring
isn’t exactly the thing to
discuss at the dinner table.

Gators, real alligators,
supposedly like to engage in a
little fun (rice and a while.
They get their jollies by
mounting each other and
rubbing bellies.

This animalistic habit
hasn’t remained in the
bayous of the south though.
Gatoring, rubbing bellies
among other parts, has hit the
Greek life of the major
Southern universities. UK is
no different.

The proper place to do “it”
is at a wild and wooly party.
First people, both of the same
or opposite sex, stand back to
back and interlock their
arms. One person kicks up his
legs having the other ac-
comadate his weight. The
movement goes on for a
while, until they both fall
down on the floor.

Then the fun starts. The
couple gets to put a little
variation into the sport and
possibly rolls around the
entire dance floor. This type
of gatoring is called dry
gatoring.

There are also variations to
this activity. There is wet
gatoring where beer is poured
over the rolling and mounted
couple.

The most exciting variation
of gatoring is called the free-
for-all. Free-for-all gatoring
gives everyone at the party a
chance to get in on the fun.
Once one couple has
established their ground,
another couple joins in.

In no time everyone is

mounted on everyone else,
beer is flying everywhere and
“Gator, gator, gator" is
heard echoing throughout the
simulated Floridian swamp.

Not all gatoring is d the
willful nature. This is ap-
propiatly called “The Gator
Draft.” In this, a person—
any person — is pushed
down on the floor and
mounted by the “draft
council.” The draft council
doesn’t give up until all the
gator is out of the person.
Needless to say, it could go on
forever.

Although not necessary,
gator equipment can be used.
The equipment ranges from
five to eight kegs of beer to
the Frendi Izod shirts with
the notorious gator emblem.

Although the term gator is
fairly new in the dance world,
gatoring is believed to have
come from many different
origins.The earliest known
form of gatoring is from the
Congolese blacks.

In this type of gatoring the
dancers, men and women
alike, form a circle. Then
without moving, they raise
their feet in the air and strike
the ground like a soldier
doinging push ups. The crowd
watching tells a story to
which the dancers shout a
refrain.

Another form of gatoring is
believed to be associated with
Voodoo dances. Here the
dancers would get so involved
in their dance, that they
would eventually fall to the
floor rolling around each
other. These dances were
accompanied by drums and
shouts from the crowd.

The last place that a form
of gatoring was found was in
the Congo Plains. The Congo
Plains is a field northwest of
New Orleans where the Congo
Square Dances were held. At
such a gathering there would
be cock and dog ﬁghts, but

the most spectacular event
was the Sundw dance of the
Negro slaves.

In 1154, one dance might
the eye of a reporter from the
New Orleans Daily Picayune.
He described the dance as
follows: “In various parts of
the square a number of male
and female dancers per-
formed African dances. At
one time there will be ﬁve or
six upon the ground dancing
and breaking down for dear

life, and occasionally
laughing and screaming with
delight.”

The gator queens, who .

wished not to be named. of-
fered their own story of how
the (dance got started Ac-
cording to one, “It got started
down in the Southern schools.
A guy who was a Kappa
Alpha down at Auburn told us
about it.

(Incidently, their Aubirn
friend got kicked out of Fort
Lauderdale, Florida’s Trader
Jack’s for gatoring.)

At the fraternity parties or
at bars, the people from the
South would pour beer ~—

about a half inch— on their
floor. Then couples would get
down and roll around in it.

Gatoring, in fact, is mainly
practiced by the Greeks at
UK. Whether it is at a formal
or a party, the gator queens
are there wiggling away to
the music.

The modern day, Donovan
Hall Gator Queens are true
gators and they even have a
sign— “Home of the Gator
Queens” —hanging outside
their door. Remarked one of
the gator queens, “We just
dance, that’s all.”

They even have their own
song to sing to make the
workout seem less tedious.
Late at night they can be
heard bellowing, “it’s a back
to back and a belly to belly.
Well I don’t give a damn
catse I’ve done it already.”
