Classroom smoking issue smolders under Senate memoranda

By Kl'll'l'll SHANNON
Kernel Sta ff Writer
Last year's controversy over the
right of a student to indulge in a
cigarette in class now seems to have
heaved its last snrokeiaden breath.
The controversy began a year ago
this month with the publication of
what at the time was considered to
be an “innocuous" memorandum.
Before the controversy was over.
however, the University Senate and
the Student Government (SGi had
been involved in trying to find a
solution. -
Now it appears that the solution
rests, as before. in the publication of
a memorandum.

Vol. LXVIII, Number 45

The October memorandum was
circulated to the faculty and signed
jointly by Jack Blanton, vice
president for business affairs and
Dr. P.S. Sabharwal, who was then

the academic ombudsman. It
simply advised students and faculty
not to smoke in classrooms.
Characterized as a “request"
rather than a rule by Blanton, the
action was the result of over 20
complaints of discomfort because of
cigarette smoke in classrooms.
Blanton now says the
memorandum was not looked upon

Thursday, October 14, 1976

as a very important thing at the
time. Sabharwal maintains that
similar memoranda had been cir-
cula ted for five years previously and
so were nothing unusual.

Nevertheless, the Kernel ran an
editorial the same day saying the
memorandum was somewhat
“ineffective.” Later articles sub-
mitted by readers referred to the
practice of smoking as producing an
“acrid stink,” and contributing to
“coughing, watery eyes and violent
headaches."

Early in Novembera local chapter
of the Group Against Smoking
Pollution (GASP) sprang up and
requested the Senate to consider

making an official rule to prohibit
smokingin public places on campus.

GASP was able to secure the
support of Marjorie Crandall, a
biology professor who served on the
Senate. Crandall sought and gained
a place on the senate's agenda for
discussion of smoking.

Then it was SG's turn.

Charlie Masters, then an
agriculture senator, walked out of
an 86 meeting just before an anti-
smoking resolution was to be voted
on. By doing so, Masters destroyed
the quorum needed to have the vote.
The resolution and the issue died
with 80.

Women’s courses gain respect,

provide topical major degrees

“Ten years ago the idea of
women‘s studies was a joke, like
women drivers," said Dr, Lisa
Barclay, associate professor in the
department of human development
and family relations. “Now it's a
serious scientific study which even
men can recognize and appreciate."

The UK Women‘s Studies program
has been through many changes
since its beginning as an informal
group of faculty and students
meeting together to discuss topics.
according to John Stephenson, dean
of Undergraduate Studies.

After attending one of the
meetings. Stephenson said he
decided to “stir up the academic pot
in ways to permit constructive
change." By formalizing the group
into a Women's Studies Committee
under his office. Stephenson said he
felt the University could benefit
from the expanded curriculum.

Chairperson Faith llarders,
assistant director of personnel at
Mi King Library, said the com—
mittee is an autonomous
organization formed to provide
compensatory study of women's
experiences that has long been
neglected.

lt offers leadership and assistance

Le Son Thanh [left] and Mai Khai
Hoon are two of II Vietnam
refugees living in Lexington.
Thanh is vice president of the
Association of Vietnamese in

in the development, coordination
and publicity of women's studies
courses, according to Harders.
Committee members abo suggest
changes for integrating information
on the history, perceptions, con-
tributions and potentials of women
into the overall curriculum.

In the fall, a reception is spon-
sored to get acquaint students with
new women faculty and staff,
Stephenson said. “No males are
allowed,” he said, “although, as
coordinator of the program, I did
attend one year."

Barclay said, “We try to make the
new members aware of the com-
mittee‘s function as a support group,
especially for those in departments
dominated by men.“

Four years ago a proposal, made
to the College of Arts and Sciences to
create a women‘s studies major,
was denied mainly because of “an
inadequate number of standard
course offerings," Stephenson said.

Classes need to be offered on a
regular basis, Barclay said, not just
as a special section of some other
subject. Presently, four to eight
courses are offered through various
departments each semester, but
many are seminars and are in-
frequently repeated.

“In terms of a well-formed
committee, we lack a sufficient

number of qualified women to
teach,” said Dr. Ronda Connaway,
dean of the College of Social
Professions. To be effective, there
must be women available in crucial
academic fields who realize that
women’s experiences aren’t
necessarily synonyomous with
men’s and that new approaches of
understanding are needed.

Although it is a non-degree
program, a topical major in
women’s studies can be declared,
said Herbert Drennon, associate
dean in the College of Arts &

Sciences.
“There are some graduate

courses for women’s studies,”
Harders said, “but most are 400
level or below." Posters are put up
prior to registration listing classes
for the semester and they are listed
under the special courses section in
the catalog.

To be considered for the topical
major, a student must have a 2.5
GPA and preferably be a junior.
General study requirements are the
same as those of the College of Arts
& Sciences, Drennon said, and at
least 24 of the 40 hours related to the
topical major must be a above the
200 level.

Ninety hours of the student’s total
program must be in Arts & Sciences

through for GASP by presenting a
resolution that would establish a no-
smoking policy in the classrooms.
The Senate approved the
resolution, but left its enforcement
up to the administration. Before the
meeting was over, however, the
administration tossed the ball back
to the Senate: Vice President for
Academic Affairs Lewis Cochran
told the Senate he needed its advice
on how to enforce the rule.
Cochran needed to know, he said,
whether a violation of the resolution
would constitute an academic of-
fense and, therefore, require a
change in the student code. Joseph
Krislov. Senate Council chairman,

promised Cochran that the council
would take up the question.

That is where, apparently, the ball
came to a halt.

Malcolm Jewell, Krislov's suc-
cessor, found himself trying to
enforce the rule during the next
semester. Bla nton a nd Cochran both
expressed doubts as to whether the
Senate could pass such a resolution,
and neither attempted to enforce the
rule, waiting for the council to come
up with an enforcement solution.

The final solution came in the
form of a memorandu that told in-
structors the no-smoking policy now
resided in the rules of the Senate.

Vietnam refugees find jobs, education in Lexington

By ktM YELTON
Kernel Sta ff Writer

They fled their country when the
South Vietnamese government
collapsed in 1975 and came to
America as refugees. After living in
makeshift w mps for several weeks,
91 Vietnamese ended up in
Lexington.

Eleven are now enrolled at UK,
and “so far everything has worked
out well for them," according to
refugee Mai Khai Hoan, who is a
priest at the Newman Center. Hoan
is also the Vietnamese refugee
representative in Lexington
responsible for helping others settle
in the area.

When the refugees were coming
into the country, the Bluegrass
District Department of Human
Resources instructed Nell Waldrop.
community relations specialist for
the department, to prepare for their
arrival in town. “i sentout letters to
all kinds of civic and church groups
for sponsors." she said. All the
Vietnamese had to be sponsored by
an individual, family or group in
town.

"However, we waited to be invited
back to talk about our program. We
didn‘t push. They (the refugees) had

needs that were frustrating to
solve," Waldrop said, “but the
community responded very well."

Waldrop acknowledged there was
some resistence to the refugees
settling in Lexington. “We were
ready for a lot of animosity from a
lot of people,“ she said. “But there
was not very much. Ocassionally we
would get comments, but it was not
very verbalized.“

UK's admissions office ex-
perienced some problems when 12 of
the refugees tried to register last
year. according to Richard Stofer, of
admissions and registration. Some.
hadto leave Vietnam so quickly they
failed to bring documents or proof of
some kind verifying the education
they had in Vietnam, he said.

Consequently, they had to submit
a statement specifying the types of
classes they took at another college.
UK did transfer some credits from
the University of Saigon and the
University of Dalat just outside of
Saigon, Stoffer said. “But it was not
a blanket type of credit. They had to
agree with UK standards.“

The refugees also had to complete
30 hours in their major with a final
grade of "C" or better in the cour-
ses. And the University required

each student to take a language
proficiency exam to test their
knowledge of English.

Those who hadn’t decided what
they wanted to do before they ca me
to America seemed to adapt better,
Stoffer said. There was probably
less trauma because a lot of new
things had opened up to them that
they had not had in Vietnam.

Others, however, in professional
positions were not permitted to work
in their fields because of differences
in educational requirements be-
tween the two countries.

“Most have adapted well,"
Waldrop said. The biggest problem
was language. Waldrop said the
majority of them spokeEnglish or at
least one member spoke it well
enough to tramlate for the whole
family.

Those who did not adjust as well,
she added “were usually fishermen
(or others with little education) who
spoke an antiquated form of even
their own language." They were not
a part of the mainstream of life in
Vietnam“ she said. ”This was due
to their strict social class system."

For others this move was the
second major cultural shock they

experienced. “The «to—vearolds sav

start life from scratch," she said.

Vietnam and had to move south
after the communist take-over.
limn claims most refugees have
found it “easy to get used to the
American culture." The greatest
difficulty for students was the dif-
ferences they found between the
countries’ educational systems.
Those in professional fields, in-
cluding two civil engineers, one
doctor and one lingu'st, Hoan said,
have not been able to continue to
practice in their fields. They are now

University can’t continue to ignore its employes

Through affiliation with a national union, a
small group of non-academic employes is
flowering into an organization that University
officials will no longer be able to ignore.

The UK employes — blue-collar laborers —are
some 500 strong in affiliation with the American
Federation of State, County and Municipal
Employes (AFSCME), a division of the AFL—
CIO.

Organizers are attempting to unite the em-
ployes to attain higher wages input into hiring
and promotion policies, health insurance and
free parking.

First rumblings of employe collectivization
were heard in 1971, but prospects for a united
bargaining unit were not realistic until in-
corporation with AFSCME about two years ago.
The University, under the direction of former
Vice President for Business Affairs Lawrence
Forgy, who resigned in 1975 to pursue a political

career, has consistently maintained a policy of
shunning the workers demands.

University officials apparently banked on the
hope that union organization efforts would fold.
Indeed, pressure from Physical Plant Division
(PPD), management has intimidated many
workers from recognizing the organization ef-
fort.

Whether this tactic was ordered from
University “higher ups” would be interesting to
know.

Moreover, intimidation seems to be the only
form of communication the University has
pursued with its employes. It’s not surprising
that a high turnover rate exists among UK’s blue
collar workers.

Organizing laborers against the University’s
wishes is no easy proposition —only about 500
employes are registered out of some 4,500. Union
leaders not only have to overcome scare tactics,

but also lack a means of reaching the employes.

Recent opening of an AFSCME office in
Lexington, however, should enhance the
organization efforts. As a result, the UK Board of
Trustees will one day be faced with demands
from the nation’s fastest growing union.

In the past, UK has granted employe-inflation
raises annually (though the raises have been
consistently below the rate of inflation in recent
years). Employe wages and benefits lag pitifully
behind that of the public sector. UK’s blue-collar
laborers typically start out with wages in the $2-
an-hour range. Even after 10 years of service to
the University, many of these employes make
only around $3 an hour. These wages not only are
below competitive pay in the city’s private
sector, but are not sufficient to raise a family.

The University provides absolutely no health
insurance for its employes. This disregard is an
example of gross negligence, all but obsolete in

the private sector, that has resulted in the
current employe collectivization effort.

Of course, state institutions are not self-
sustaining and, therefore, must rely on state
support and student fees for funding. Upgrading
its policies for non-academic employes, then,
would necessitate state aid or an increase in
student fees.

Instead of taking this to the state government,
though, the University has preferred to ignore
the potentially dynamic situation with its em-
ployes —apparently in the hope that the
problems would go away.

Rather than face past disregard to blue-collar
employes, University Legal Counsel John Darsie
has tried to tangle the question of University
recognition of its employes in the courts.

So the University finds itself out on the
proverbial limb of a dying tree. And unless
relations with the employes are strengthened,
that tenuous limb is going to break.

 

Dle D Owney: When government loses its legitimacy. . . Gerry Ford will win

Well. I‘ve been waiting for months
to preach a sermon on presidential
politics — "to not do so would surely be
an insult to my political science in-
structors from undergraduate
school.

One thing our professors used to
teach us about was the nature of the
legitimacy of governments. “Ligiti-
macy" is a term of art in political
science. In order for a government
to be politically legitimate in the
eyes of the governed, it must have
consent to run the ship of state. The
less legitimacy there is, the less
effectively a government operates.
That’s the general maxim. ,._

Legitimacy is measured in many
ways. In the United States, one way
to do it is by pointing to our
democratic system of free elections.
In Rhodesia. where a white minority
ruled for decades, armed coercion
and economic domination acted as a
substitute for free elections in giving
an artificial legitimacy to the gov-
ernment,

The monarchies of old Europe and
China gained consent to govern by
successfully claiming legitimacy
derived from God, a political crime
which some accuse Jimmy Carter of
wanting to commit.

Things like the Bicentennial cele-

1‘

bration are designed to give the
legitimacy of governments a shot in
the arm—and there’s no doubt that
patriotism and loyalty are highly
desirable political commodities;
essential if government is to enjoy
the people’s endorsement.

However, here we are: we have a
presidential election coming up in
the Bicentennial year, yet the ex-
perts are saying that the eligible
voter turnout percentage will prob-
ably be the lowest in the history of
the republic.

That irony may speak for itself,
but the political remifications of this
national apathy should be a part of
this year’s political dialogue. The
issue is whether either candidate
can do anything to recapture the
legitimacy that our elected govern-
ment seems to have lost in recent
years, via divisive phenomona like
Vietman, Great Society social plan-
ing, Nixonian demagoguery and
Watergation.

When Jimmy Carter and Gerald
Ford mouth phrases like “restoring
the faith of the American people in
government,“ we tend to dismiss
their platitudes as void of substance.
And we are probably right—nothing
is said in a presidential campaign
that isn’t designed to woo votes. If

 
 

(.0 ‘tuflflufl

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

votes were to disappear from the
face of the earth, then surely so
would political platitudes like “in-
stilling trust in government.”

Nevertheless, I think we make a
mistake if we completely ignore the
implications of a massive lack of
faith in government, for as I have
implied, popular faith is necessary if
legitimacy is to be an underlying
foundation of governmental power,
especially in a free society. Without
it. the state can flounder under the
duress of its own weight.

A case in point was 1917 Russia,
which was not so much taken over
by Communists as it was surrender-
ed to them by a government no
longer able to manage its affairs.
The fact that Lenin. the first leader
of a unified communist front in
Russia, was out of the country at the
time his party took control, serves
as an illustration of that point. His
party's success came as a complete
surprise to him. for no takeover had
been planned for October, 1917.

Essentially the same thing hap-
pened with Breat Britian's colonial
'empire. Britian‘s illegitimate child

of Rhodesian politics, Ian Smith, is
now also about to lose his grip on
power because of the same basic
principle—loss of legitimacy.

In all of these periods of political
transition, another common thread
may be found. That is the phenom-
onon of the revolution of rising
expectations—expectations by the
people that conditions in the arenas
of political freedoms, economic well-
being, social harmony, and govern-
mental effectiveness will improve
on a constant continuum. The revo-
lutions occur when expectations of
the people outstrip the capabilities
and limitations of government.

I think the United States is
heading toward this sort of situation.
Though we are not close to revolu-
tion, a legitimacy-depleting protest
can be seen when voters stay home
from the polls in droves.

There is other evidence that this
sort of political disaffection is more
intense than ever in this year’s
election. The Teamsters, America’s
largest union, has failed to formally
endorse a candidate for the first
time in history because only 17 per

cent of its members expressed a
preference for ANY candidate in a
referendum held recently.

In fact, the only real interest that
has been generated so far this year
by the campaign has been related to
scandalous issues surrounding Play-
boy magazine and Earl Butz, bogus
issues like abortion and religion, and
completely stupid issues like Ford’s
statements on Eastern Europe.

It’s partly the candidates’ own
fault. For instance, the provocative
drive for the ethnic vote receives too
much attention while the majority of
voters are ignored. But, Americans
are also apathetic about the real
issues because of a loss of faith in
government’s ability to improve the
problems presented by these issues.
This factor goes to conservatives
and liberals alike.

Thus, the question becomes: Have
we reached a peak of national
achievement that cannot be contin-
ued at the same rate that we have
witnessed in the past 30 years? I
think we have, and as a result, our
present expectations cannot be sat-
isfied by either Democrats or Re-

publicans. And that’s why voters
stay at home and that’s how a
government loses its legitmacy.

Whoever is elected president
should consider that opinion, I think.
It is an entirely different proposition
than exists when a mere political
party temporarily loses its legiti-
macy. The results can make for a
loss of greatness and a decline in

.morale among the people. Even

worse, the government’s actions can
lose the mandate ofthe electorate. Is
that democracy?

I think Gerald Ford will win on
Nov. 2. It‘s going to be close, though.
Jimmy Carter will be remembered
like Tom Dewey---he peaked way too
early.

Ford tries to lessen people’s
expectations from government. In
an era when people either don’t want
or don’t expect much anyway, Ford
may have hit upon the main winning
campaign theme of the year.

Response to HarraIson column

Why we need government .

By RICK SCHWEITZER

Monday’s edition of the Kernel contained
quite a controversial and perhaps somewhat
misdirected article concerning the attempts
by “liberals” and “progressives” to solve
our country’s economic woes (“Liberals
Disrupt Free Enterprise”).

The essence of the article written by Jim
Harralson, if I may attempt to summarize it
in a mere sentence, was that government
intervention into the production of goods and
services for the American public is less
effective and allows for less individual input
into the system than if this production were
left up to the capitalistic market system.

 

commentary

 

I first wish to point out that I agree with
Mr. Harralson’s statement that “consensus
without conformity” in the market place
does allow for recognition of minority
consumer tastes. However, individually the
consumer is still a pebble in a rock quarry
when attempting to change corporate
production schedules.

A good example of this was the nationwide
meat boycott of a few years ago, when beef
prices had risen to an intolerable level. Only
with the concerted and organized effort of
pressure groups working together
throughout the country did the prices finally
crest and begin to fall. This is not unlike the
pressure groups which Mr. Harralson
laments are necessary to initiate political
action as well (and therefore minimize in-
dividual input).

Mr. Harralson also attacks, individually
and collectively, current Social Security
laws, the present tax structure, urban
renewal, the Food and Drug Administration,
the Federal Communications Commission,
and the Federal Trade Commission. He
seems to feel that these programs are
ineffective and could be aptly replaced by
individual industries providing their own
standards of conduct in production. Yet I
ask, what were the standards employed by

these industries before \the onslaughtuofm

federal regulation? , g g ‘

Present pension funds in many industries
allow for only a subsistence level of con-
sumption for millions of beneficiaries.
Perhaps we can assume that these pensions
would increase with the dissolution of Social
Security benefits (although with the present
supply of labor so greatly exceeding the
demand, this assumption is not necessarily
valid in non-union shops), but what of those
with no present income other than their
monthly government check? Can a govern-
ment supposedly dedicated to the welfare of
its citizens simply turn its back on these
people in order to preserve a truly
capitalistic economic structure?

The Food and Drug Administration may
not be without fault, but I would hardly call it
a failure. And I shudder to think of what

 

Letters

would happen if we returned to the days
when “the market" determined corporate
policy in this area. I. for one. appreciate
government regulation which forces
producers to list the ingredients of their
products on the labels for consumer benefit.
There is no guarantee that “the market"
would make such standards universal.

The reasons we need these government
service agencies is because of one inherent
deficiency in the capitalistic market system.
One must assess the real goals of both
business and government to discover the
discrepancy. It is imperative that one
remember that the single purpose of any
enterprise is to makea profit for its owners.

Production and sale of goods and services,
as well as public responsibility, is only a
means to this end. It has been proven
repeatedly in the past that public outcry
itself is not enough to sway commercial
practice, as long as the company remains
profitable. An example would be the current
ecological dilemma in which our nation's
industries have placed us. It has been
necessary for consumers to voice their
grievances through their government in
order to take any definitive action against
industrial polluters.

Commercial enterprises, especially large
corporations, are responsive to consumer
opinion only as it directly affects revenues.
Our government, on the other hand, was
supposedly established to serve the
American people. If this includes providing
agencies to make up for deficiencies in some
commercial areas, then it becomes the
functional duty of government to fill these
gaps in service.

I agree that many governmental agencies

are ineffective and worthless, and that many
others could be improved in a countless
number of ways. Yet to completely dissolve
the present governmental service system in
favor of a self-regulatory commercial
system dependent on whimsical market
variance is also folly.
‘ There must be a delicate balance between

intervention. Mr. ‘Harral‘son ’calls‘fo’r
maxi‘m'um noninterference; but how much is
maximum? The necessary utility provided
by these governmental services, and the
comparative utility of these services if
provided by the market, both discounted by
the relative cost to the consumer (through
taxes or increase in prices) must be taken
into account to arrive at a compatible level
of government intervention.

I believe in less government. and I believe
that many government agencies can and
should be streamlined for greater ef—
fectiveness. But there are some services
which the profit-oriented market could not
supply for the American public as well as the
service—oriented American government.

Herald Monday. Oct. 11
headlined, “Carter Manual
Urges Tricks." I experienced
one very strong reaction and
one very strong non-reaction;
the first was a sickening
revulsion and the second was
a complete lack of surprise.

The article exposed a 111
page manual urging Carter
campaign workers to
misrepresent the truth by
manipulation and distortion if
the end result makes Carter
look good. The manual gives
