Individual Reward
The "reward" to the individual may be renewal of his teaching contract or a promotion.
The committee researched its
assignment in several
studies, including questionnaires
to the University faculty and
student leaders to gather their
views. A hearing was also held
for open discussion of the probth

lems.

The final report was divided
into three parts: the mission of
the University, current practices
and viewpoints, and a model
and recommendations.
In defining the mission of the
University the report defined
"teaching as scholarship directed
toward the student, research as
scholarship directed toward the
discipline, and service as scholarship directed toward the public
at large."
Conflict of Interests
It also added that "teaching
and research are not separate
and competitive," but that the
two may conflict.

to 2 a.m. Saturday. During the
day some 75 participants heard
speeches by national leaders of
draft repeal and resistance movements.

The conference was sponsored
by the Action Committee of the
Louisville Peace Council.
A contingent from UK numbering from 10 to 15 students
included Don Pratt, who was
convicted in April 1968, of evading the draft. He is currently,
free on appeal.
In the morning, the participants heard from the Rev. Tom
Hayes, who is a member of the
National Organization, Clergy
and Laymen Concerned about

Vietnam.
Hayes, recently returned from
Sweden where he has worked
with CIs who are draft exiles,
told the conference of the situation of American deserters in

Sweden.
Hayes noted that there are
roughly 450 CIs in Sweden avoiding the draft, in addition to
50,000 to 60,000 in Canada.
Deserters Searched Out
Deserters who stay and live

Although a relatively small
number of men have sought refuge in Sweden, Hayes said he
believes there is room for many
more, perhaps 1500 to 2,000.
On arriving in Sweden, the
exiled CI "doesn't have a hassle
about immigrant status," Hayes
said. Under a new law, the process by which immigrants are
accepted has been speeded up;
one has only to report to a police
station to be registered.
CI Employment
Once the CI deserter has made
the necessary applications, he is
eligible for job training, and he
will be paid to begin a Swedish
language class. He can also get
a residence and work permit,
Hayes added.
Dr. Tom Reeves, director of
the National Council to Repeal
the Draft (NCRD), also addressed
the conference.
Reeves chimed that he simply
mailed his draft card back seven
years ago with a note explaining
his refusal to cooperate with the
Selective Service.

Service was defined as the
ability of University faculty members to use their expertise outside the University by such action as giving speeches or taking
leadership roles in organizations.

want a "greater flexibility" in
the present system of evaluation

Besides favoring an "appro-

discipline should, in individual
cases, be adequate basis for pro

Student Support
The report discovered that students express an even stronger
wish for change in the present
system than do deans or faculty.
"They clearly want more emphasis on

and greater reward for improvement of faculty-studeinteraction," the report states. In the survey of student opinion, "advising" was often singled out as a

Students Push Petition
For Faculty's Rights

"They say the students don't care," said Troy Vandiviere, a
sociology senior, as he spoke to a UK class to try to start student
petitions in favor, of the University Senate report on the balance
of teaching, research and service functions of the University.
The report proposes the implementation of a new program of
evaluating a professor's work throughout the year. One effect could
be a
on research and publication.
"It doesn't pay to be a good teacher under the present system,"
said Josh O'Shea, who initiated the student drive to support the
new recommendations. O'Shea is the student representative to the
Sociology Undergraduate Committee.
"We've got to give the teachers who want to teach a chance,
and not be afraid of being penalized because they have not done
enough research," said the student representative. "A lot of the
research is irrelevant and useless anyway."
O'Shea said he did not learn that the final discussion on the
report would be at Monday night's University Senate meeting until
it was too late to organize student support for it.
However, he said he decided that a weekend drive for petitions

would be better than nothing.
"The big classes are bad enough," O'Shea said, "but if a teacher
has to publish or perish, that leaves even less time for the students."
The success of the student petitions and the entire report probably will be decided at the Monday night University Senate meeting.

Draft 'Inhumane'

He called the draft "morally

inhumane and insidious, and politically foolish," and he hailed
the report of the Cates Commission formed by President Nixon to study the draft.
He stressed that the report
"compromised" on some issues,
but that as a whole it will be
useful to the NCRD as a tool
to eliminate the draft.
If victory over the draft is not
won now, Reeves said, "we won't
get another chance for a long,
long while."
The Cates Commission, he
said, was formed by President
Nixon to study the feasibility of

Fowles' wonderful imagination

"The Magus" may have been a

skill that he carries it off so well.

other works, such a scheme a

a masterful complexity from small

unique, but as one of the best

The ending (there are actually
three distinct endings) is its most
outstandingfeature. Freedom versus convention in life and in art
is one of Fowles' major themes.

It has been said that the main
purpose of the theater is to entertain. An evening at the Barn
Dinner Theater fills this bill in
more ways than one. The Barn's

current production, "Born

Ye-

sterday," is an adult-levcomedy
that kept the crowd laughing for
three acts. Coupled with the consistently fine buffet, the Barn
provides a very different evening
for anyone entrenched
in the
movie rut.
The play is the story of a
hoodlum millionaire junk dealer
and his dumb blonde girlfriend.
The couple travel to Washington
to buy off some senators and
Harry, the millionaire, decides
to buy Billie, the blonde, an education at the same time. She,-ocourse, learns that Harry is
really a louse and there are more
important things in life than two
mink coats. Since she owns all of
Harry's Junkyards for tax purposes, she leaves him broke and
runs away with the man who
taught her to think for herself.

does he examine it in his art.
Refusing to impose convention
on his work, he insists on treating his characters as living peoplepeople who are not merely
models but people whom he has
spied on in train compartments
and through the windows of London houses. Like a movie actor
who turns suddenly to speak directly into the camera, Fowles
tells us that he cannot play Cod
to his characters as the Victorian
novelist did, but must let them
act out their own movements
and develop their own characters. Fowles introduces all the
mental, emotional and intellectual possibilities in both the modem and the Victorian contexts
and then leaves it to the reader
to sort them out and digest them.
No more sliould be said here to
forewarn the reader about these
mysteries.

The real beauty of the evening
came from the performers rather
than the play. Joe McNally plays
the part ofHarry Brock to the hilt.
His "New Joisey" accent and
boorish manners kept the audience in stitches for the entire
play. When he loses everything
in the third act, he doesn't let it
bother him and keeps his tough-gu- y
image until the final cur-

tain.
If anyone outshines the characterization ofHarry Brock, it has
to be Martin McDonald as Ed,
Brock's crooked lawyer. He plays
the entire third act drunk and is
technically perfect in his portrayal. When the play begins to drag,
he picks it up, and in a drunken
stupor he finally lets Harry know
just what everybody thinks of his
braying personality. The only
weak character was Burrell Sanders as the bought-ofsenator.
His role added nothing, but this
was the fault of the play rather
than the actor.
"Bom Yesterday" will run at
the Barn until March 22. For a
special occasion or Just an entertaining evening, dinner and a
play at the Barn are the perfect
combination.

a balance of teaching, research
and service functions might properly operate in a university.
In essence, the plan realizes
that each department constituting a school or college will have
different balances of functions.
When this balance has been
defined, each faculty member
could request a work load believed appropriate to him. After
consideration of these requests,
the department chairman would
arrange assignments of duties for
the next year.
The individual teachers would
then be evaluated on how well
they carry out their assignments.
With tliis plan, some teachers
who wanted less research required of them presumably could
publish less without worry of being penalized when their contract
expires.
