strict guarding

of records

By RON MITCHELL

Kernel Staff Writer

FRANKFURT-A bill to place strict
limitations upon the release of student
records at state colleges and universities
was introduced into the state house of
representatives Thursday.

The bill, HR 408, was introduced into the
legislative body by Rep. Terry Mann (I)-
Newport) and had several cosponsors,
including some members of the education
committee.

Strong support for the bill has been given
by three UK students, acting as lobbyists
for the Kentucky Student Association
1 KSA ).

CARLTON (‘l'RRENS, political science
sophomore; Mike Bewley. history
junior; and Ron Robey, political science
senior. have been active the past few
weeks in finding a sponsor and will now
turn to lobbying for passage.

The bill differs drastically from the
current state law. but there will still be
exceptions where records can be released

With the exception of some exemptions,
all student records must be confidential
and cannot be released to “any person,
organization. school or institution, group
or agency" except with the student's
consent or by subpeona.

PURTIUNS “F the bill state:

Academic test scores, grades, grade-
point averages and other objective
measures of academic achievement may
be released only to institutions of higher
learning from which the student graduated
for purposes of professional follow-up
studies.

The information can be seen only by the
individuals to whom it is released and the
information shall be limited to that needed
orily for the study.

The same records can be released to
the (‘ouncil on Public Higher Education for
professional studies. but only where
precautions are taken to conceal the
student‘s identity.

Rep. TERRY MANN
Sponsors confidentiality Bill

, The parents or legal guardians of any
student under 18 years old may have ac-
cess to test scores, grade point averages,
grades and other measures of academic
achievement.

Energy crisis? World is awash with oil

By CHRISTOPHER T. RAND
me new YORK TIMES news seawce

KENSINGTON, Calif ——The Western
consumer has no acces s to oil- industry
LOSt or oil- -rescrv es data and only scant
access to supply data. Nowhere has he
sought legislation to insure that he will
get this information— not in the United
States, Canada or Western Europe. As
a result, he is saddled with an oil-in—
dustry crisis; he is unaware that the
world has been awash with crude oil
this year.

The glut swelled in April, when Pres
ident Nixon ended America‘s 14-year-
old crude-oil-imports program. Within
two months the steadily mounting out
put of Saudl Arabia‘s great producer.
the Arabian Amerlcan Oil Company
(Aramco), shot up further to eight and
a half million barrels a day. In 1970
Aramco had planned to double produc-
tion, from four to eight million barrels
a day, but was not to reach the eight-
million level earlier than 1975, and the
new production figure was very hard
to sustain.

As the summer wore on, Europe cer-
tainly could not absorb the excess, and
it had to be pour-3d into the United
States, which is the home of Aramco‘s
parents (Exxon, Standard Oil of Cali.
fornia, Texaco and Mobil).

Three-quarters of America's spec-
tacular increase in oil imports from
the Middle East this year came from
Saudi Arabia alone, and as a result,
against all pressures from the market.
Saudi Arabian production held at eight
and a half million barrels a day.

Then the Middle East went to war
Oct. 6. And on Oct. 18 King Faisal of
Saudi Arabia announced that he was
going to cut oil output by 10 per cent
to put pressure on the United States
to reduce its support for Israel. He
crdered Aramco to cut back to 7.8
million barrels a day; this was still

above the 1973 product ion figures that
Aramco had project (I in 1970.

In other big Middl 1 Eastern oil coun-
tries production rose. The oil com-
panies coolly allowed Iran, where Oll
production had been languishing at 5.8
million barrels a day for a year, to
increase her production—to 6 million
barrels. Meanwhile, seven immense
Iranian oilfields remained shut; they
were too expensive, by Saudi stand-
ards, to operate.

Libya and Iraq, the fourth and fifth
biggest oil producers in the area, also
expanded production. The Arab-Israeli
war was not the war of Libya’s Presi-
dent, Muammar el-Qaddafi, so the
boycott was not his boycott. Iraq had
reached agreement on tax disputes and
concession acreage a few months

earlier with her great consortium, Iraq
Petroleum, after 15 years of rancorous

dispute. The Oil and Gas Journal of
1973,

Aug. 6, said that oil-industry

spokesmen were beginning to feel that
perhaps they had been underestimating
Iraq’s reserves, that perhaps Iraq did
have the third—biggest reserves in the
Middle East.

Since that honor had previously
been Kuwait’s with her 70 billion
barrels, and since Iraq Petroleum had
previously asserted that Iraq held only
25 billion barrels, that meant that
perhaps Iraq’s reserves had “tripled"
overnight—without a drill grazing the
soil.

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait reduced
their embargo, until by late Novem-
ber it was only being applied to the
United States and the Netherlands.
But Western consumers were bent on
panicking. Because of their obdurate
ignorance of true Middle Eastern oil-
production and oil-reserves figures,
they are in a state of oil-industry crisis
today.

In the Netherlands. where no one is
now driving Sundays, tankers are lin-

America, where gasoline and distillate
stocks are riding high, the Government
has announced a stand-by gasoline-
rationing system, crude-oil barges are
backed up along the Ohio River be-
cause they cannot be unloaded fast
enough, and consumers in Massachu-
setts are cold because home-heating oil
has risen to 60 cents a gallon.

The Nixon Administration's energy
director, William E. Simon, cajoles
people to nudge back their thermo-
stats, petroleum-product prices in
America skyrocket—and Middle East-
ern production continues to rise.

Only one thing remains as it had
been before this artificial crisis was
created: People are in ignorance of the
industry’s real figures (except those
for the prices they pay). They still
know absolutely nothing about the
true magnitude of America's immense
oil and gas reserves, the incredibly low
cost of producing oil anywhere, even
in the United States, or the ruthless-
ness with which major refiners bring
costs to a maximum by emphasizing
gasoline production at the expense of
low-cost residual oil.

The public will always remain igno-

reservoirs to that on costs of trucking

Energy crisis:

By PETER SCHRAG
me new YORK TIMES NEWS SERVICE

SAN FRANCISCO—1t appears clear
by now that the energy shortage, what-
ever its causes or consequences, con-
stitutes just one element in the grow-
ing national consciousness of limits
and in the declining faith in an indefi-
nitely expanding American future.

Long before President Nixon asked
the country to turn down the thermo-
stats and lock up the gas pumps on
Sundays, a substantial number of Amer-
icans—perhaps a majority—registered
doubts about that future, and a great
many more have doubts now.

A recent Gallup survey indicated
that 85 per cent of those questioned
expected a recession or depression in
1974 and that 7 per cent expected pros-
perity. Yet even a year ago, a major-
ity of those expressing opinions in a
similar poll predicted economic diffi~
culties for 1973. Other surveys and in-
terviews during the last five years
have indicated that Americans have
become increasingly convinced that
possibilities were closing down rather
than Opening up.

Historically Americans have as-
sumed that time has been on their side.
that the curves of economic growth,
moral improvement and public en-
lightenment will rise together, and
that America has enjoyed special
providential favors not accorded to
other nations. All problems have been
considered temporary aberrations from
those curves and solvable with minor
adjustments to the system or with
limited programs enabling the poor,
the unemployed, the less-educated to
join the great mainstream.

American liberalism was founded on
premises of growth, not stasis. We
simply had no political language, let
alone programs, to deal with the possi-
bility of a limited future. The frontier
—any frontier—was the American
answer to Marx. .

Over the last five years, the country
has begun to develop a sort of entropic
consciousness. We have become
familiar with national policies designed
to accommodate, to come to terms, to
hold the line—law and order, wage
and price controls, revenue sharing,

Letters to the Kernel

 

fuel allocations—as well as with the
winding down of the promises and
programs of the New Frontier and
the Great Society.

Increasingly the Administration has
been asking for something the British
used to call austerity. The consumer
and conservation movements have
grown dramatically, and the enchant-
ment with unlimited growth is fading.
The boosters of Main Street, if any
are left, have gone underground.

And the intellectuals with the best
of liberal credentials, Daniel P. Moyni-
han, Nathan Glazer, Arthur Jensen and
Christopher Jencks, among others,
have developed a rationale for the
politics of benign neglect. They seem
to suggest that neither public schools
nor special remedial programs can
rectify inequities of class or income.

Increasingly, the emphasis on edu~
cational innovation has shifted from
curriculum development and integra-
tion to programs aimed at identifying
“predelinquent” children, potential
drug—abusers and other types of social
misfits. The nearly unlimited confi-

opinion from inside and outside the university community VI e H l pOInt

 

 

dence in science and education—the
great frontiers of the nineteen-sixties
—-has diminished substantially.

Despite much rhetoric to the
contrary, the country has outrun the
achievement ethic and the premises of
growth. But we have yet to develop
a postachievement ethic that tries to
deal with the likelihood that hence-
forth everything will be limited:
resources, space, time and the kind of
social mobility that the country has

associated with geographical or tech-
nological frontiers.

For a generation we have been talk-
ing about the Americanization of
Europe; henceforth we will speak more
and more about something tantamount
to the Europeanization of America.

The curves on all those charts—eco-
nomic, moral and psychological—will
tend to level off; tomorrow more likely
than not will be pretty much like
today, and progress will not neces—
sarily be considered the iron law of
American history.

Under such conditions, the hazards
of an obsolescent achievement ethic

tunnel at end of the light

are obvious; it will tend to drive the
country toward an atavistic form of
social Darwinism set in a finite jungle.
The pressure to exploit, to erect more
private barriers, and to make one last
big profit from scarce resources will
increase.

We have already seen some of that
at the gas pumps and we are likely
to see more. The inadequacy of public
services in transportation, medical
care and other sectors, moreover,
tends to have a coercive effect on a
society forced to choose between pri-
vate resources and no services at all.

The pressures will also tend to ex-
acerbate class barriers, making them
more rigid, and making any attempt to
enlarge social-welfare programs that
much more difficult.

The alternative is not simply ra-
tioning officially defined scarce re-
sources but providing services and so-
cial guarantees that recognize the
limits of growth and the social
dynamite in an achievement ethic ap-
propriate only to a society that
genuinely believes in unlimited re—
sources and general progress.

A postachievement ethic, involving
fundamental social and psychological
changes, recognizes the need for a
base of civility and common services,
and the inherent danger of an achieve-
ment rhetoric in which people have
ceased to believe. It also recognizes
the declining marginal satisfaction
that the affluent derive from additional
goods and services.

The country has been making it for
300 years; now, with certain glaring
exceptions, we have made it. The con-
cern of a postachievement ethic is in
the improvement of the general quality
of life without reliance on vast new
increments in growth or the friendly
hand of Providence.

If we wait for “recovery" or the
“end of the current emergency” (as
we waited for the end of the Vietnam
war) before we deal with economic
inequities and begin to provide decent
social services, we will wait forever.

A scapegoat

I‘m usually not the type to
write “letters to the editor". but
Ronald Hawkins‘ casual disposal
of Yes‘ “Tales from Topographic
()ceans“ has prompted me to do
so for the first time.

Evidently Mr. Hawkins has
decided to use Yes as a scapegoat
for his lack of intellect and
perception. His expression of
regret over lacks of Top 40
material on the album implies
that he is only a casual listener.
whereas Yes, on the contrary, is
far from a casual band. Hawkins
is lacking the most important
element a good critical reviewer
possesses —~ appreciation of an

preferences and tastes put aside.
An album which one dislikes and
an album with little or no musical
validity are two different things.
Mr. Hawkins doesn't seem to
understand this. He criticizes
what he dislikes or cannot
comprehend instead of criticizing
truly weak or invalid structural
components of the album.

The use of the word “juvenile"
to describe a musical entity of
Yes' caliber is absurd; if
Hawkins would take a second
look perhaps he would realize
who the word really applies to.
His statement that the album
“lacks musical direction" was
even more offensive. however. If
he had any perception of the
architectural genius of Jon An-
derson and Steve Howe, he might
realize what a rash statement he
has made. If any band in the
mixed-up world of rock music

it.

His belief that Howe's guitar
work is deficient is hardly
rational. either. Howe is un-
doubtedly one of the world's best
guitar players and his creativity
on a variety of string instruments
is rivaled by none. _

Yes should be commended for
overcoming the loss of their
drummer, Bill Bruford, who was
replaced by Alan White. White‘s
work “Yessongs” was hardly
praiseworthy, but he has now
been synthesized into the band
with great effectiveness, and
stands as one of the better
drummers in rock.

()ne rhetorical question for Mr.
Hawkins: What is the difference
between valid criticism, and
frustration due to lack of un-
derstanding'.’

Sage

Now an independent organization

By BOB EDWARDS
Kernel Staff Writer

Wilderness Survival Training
has gone through some changes
lately. Its name has been
changed to Sage and it is now an
independent organization.

Director Jim Stacey explained
the split from UK as a result of
lack of interest and an inability to
receive financial support.

“Money is pretty tight,
especially with UK, and 1 un-
derstand," he said. “Also by not
being connected with UK we can
draw people from Eastern,
Morehead and other places."

The change of the name is a
result of change of emphasis of
the organization. “The emphasis
was on survival training, now it‘s
more practical," said Stacey.
“It’s a general outdoors
education.“

Sage meets once a week at 136
Park Ave. and offers instruction
from Stacey and his three—man
staff in rockclimbing. back-
packing, canoeing, rafting and
general outdoors activities.

AFTER A short period of in—
struction, the members are then
able to apply their classroom
knowledge to actual experiences.
“We have a limit of 32 members.
but presently we‘re only half
full.“ said Stacey.

The first activity planned is
winter camping at the Gorge in a
large nylon teepee and several
small tents. “Members will
spend one weekend enjoying the
cold weather." said Stacey.

Also for this semester. Stacey
has planned such activities as a
two week canoeing seminar, four
weeks of backpacking and rock-
climbing. A two day rafting
excursion is scheduled for either
Pennsylvania or West Virginia,
and a four day rockclimbing
seminar will be in West Virginia.

“NOT ALL of the members
participate all the time, but I'm
on a field trip almost every
)weekend," Stacey said.

The largest activity planned is
the Ecesis Expedition, which is a
64 day trip through 25 states and
seven provinces of Canada.

Highlights of this trip will in-
clude seeing the Okefenokee
Swamp, Death Valley, Grand
Canyon andwill be climaxed by a
one week stay at a Canadian
kayaking school.

MEMBERS Wll L receive
kayaking lessons from the
Canadian kayaking champion.
This activity will be limited to
only five members plus Stacey.

Stacey claims he is one who has
acquired his knowledge of the
outdoors in bits and pieces. “I

Host family helpful
to foreign students

Imagine living alone in a
foreign country and trying to
understand without help the
customs and mannerisms of that
country.

The result is a cultural shock
and it is what many of the
University of Kentucky foreign
students face.

HOWEVER THE Host Family
Program headed by Kathy White
of the Human Relations Center, is
helping such students. The
program gives foreign students
an opportunity to have contact
with a family here.

“It provides for the student a
kind of family away from home".
said White.

Not only does the Host Family
Program help the foreign
student. but it also allows for
Lexington families to establish

personal relationships with them.
By helping the students learn
about the United States the
families can learn about other
cultures. This way both sides
exchange ideas.

JEANA AND Tom McKinney of
Lexington hosted (last semester)
a :. uple from South America
The McKinneys included the
couple in family activities such
as a picnic, antique shopping and
sightseeing at Shakertown.
Around Christmas, the time
that homesickness hits the
hardest, the two couples ex-
changed presents and ideas about
e ' h of their customs.
hat the McKinneys did is the
essence of the Host Family
Program. To help foreign
students feelat home in a strange
place is the goal of the program.
