Undergraduates Gain Voice
In Political Science Area
By MIKE WINES
Kernel Staff Writer
Undergraduates in the Political Science Department can look
forward to a bigger voice in the
administration of their classes,

according to department head
Malcolm E. Jewell.
An Undergraduate Advisory
Committee has been formed to
handle complaints and suggestions, and two undergraduates
soon will have voting powers on
a committee that deals with curriculum requirements.
The new Undergraduate Advisory Committee, chosen by the
members of the Political Science
Department, consists of eight political science majors, mostly juniors and seniors. The UAC was
formed because, according to Dr.
Jewell, a main disadvantage of
the large Political Science Department was that "there was no
contact between the students and
advisors."
About 25 students originally
expressed interest in the UAC,
which is essentially a volunteer
group, but eight were chosen on
recdmmendations of teachers and
other students. During its first
two meetings, the group forwarded several suggestions to Dr.
Jewell and Prof. William Lyons,
who also serves on the

"It's a

proposition

whether or not a student will
come to the chairman of the department or a professor with a
complaint," Dr. Jewell said.
'The committee is a way of getting student opinion to me, and,
in turn, a way of getting ideas
to students."
The UAC's members are Stephen Dreisler, Cerald Manning,
Anne Robinson, Michael Reid-inge- r,
Chris Perry, John Nebon,
Rebecca Wester field and Philip
Robertson.

In addition, two undergraduates will be given seats on the
department's curriculum committee, which handles major requirements, new courses, and changes
in courses. Craduate students
have served with the group for
some time and "have been very
instrumental in getting things
done," according to Dr. Jewell.
Six faculty members current-

are serving on the committee,
and the two new undergraduates
will be chosen by the members
of the UAC.
ly

The additions to the department are part of a review of
policies being conducted this
year by Political Science Department heads.

tions).

The major shortcomings of
this album lies in the choice of
material. Most of the songs were
hits made by small rock and soul
groups. When they are orchestrated they lose their vitality
and drive. Their simplicity necessitates much elaboration of
chord progressions for orchestra.
The melodies are changed little,
however, and what results is an
intricate arrangement of a weak
foundation.
In spite of these structural
weaknesses, Miss Fitzgerald
manages to come through with
some exciting and artistic work.
She sings a nice scat chorus in

"Yellow Man" by Newman she
demonstrates the stylism that

By JIM LINDENBERGER
The major purpose in a university
should be to supply individuals with the
best possible learning institution that each
of these individuals will require (and or)
desire. The student government of a university should be used by the students
to help see that this institution is realized.
The University of Kentucky Student Government is not living up to its duties.

The inability of the 1969 assembly to
determine the importance of university
and student problems seems to be its
primary deficiency. Such matters as, saving the wall, the size of the chair in the
new classroom building, placement of telephones on campus, wire fences protecting
new sod, with various and sundry other
matters too numerous to list, have taken
precedent. Heated arguments have arisen
over such matters as whether to leave an
"and" in a bill. The low relevence quota
established by the vast majority of the
assembly members has not only stolen
time from the consciencious assembly
members but has perpetrated the atrocity
on the student body.
Issues pertaining to the direct purpose
of this university have taken a back seat
to bicycle racks. Academic freedom and
justice have been covered up by the assembly's ability to harass and condemn the
members during the discussion's of the
above mentioned trivia. Bills to give the
students more time between the time
classes end and the time finals start or
to investigate inadequate Biology facilities
and staff or to help students find more
relevence in the University (through such
vehicles as the Free University) have either
been ignored or made to stand in the back

of the line thus leaving the students actual
needs standing out in the cold.
The Powerful have attempted and succeeded to an extent to control the power.
The current commission on the UL, UK
merger which was appointed by SG President Tim Futrell, excluded completely
the members of the inter-schoRelations
Committee which was set up just for this
ol

sort of problem. The committee chairman,
Barbra Ries, confronted Futrell with this
situation to which Futrell replied that she
(Ries) could serve on the committee. However, Futrell seemed to loose sight of Miss
Ries complaints that by appointing a commission to perform a committee's duties
he has left a portion of the assembly
with relatively nothing to do. It may also
be appropriate to mention that three of the
four committee members are members of
Students for Action and Responsibility.
Even though the Student Government
may be more applicable to the students
this year than it has been in some time,
as the Kernel stated earlier this year,
it is obvious that the real purpose of the
Student Government is not being used.
And until it is this campus will continue
to see such outrageous happenings as when
Steve Bright, Student Government representative threatened to "beat your
goddamn head in" because Futrell allegedly refuse to swear a representative in who was opposed to one of
his cabinet appointments. As Student
Government
was titled, there's
