Pass/fail

courses

possible

hindrance

By SUSAN OGDEN

Kernel Staff Writer,

STl'lmN'l‘S considering taking one or
more undergraduate classes on the pass-
fail option may wish to reconsider.

Credit hours earned on pass-fail will
apply toward graduation, but there is no
reflection in a student’s grade point
average.

A recent survey published in the
Educational Record showed that over 10
percent of pass—fail graded courses can be
a disadvantage to a student trying to be
admitted into graduate school.

(it"l‘ OF 140 graduate schools surveyed,
10] answered that pass—fail courses
present major problems when evaluating
a student‘s work for admission.

Dr. Wimberley C. Royster, UK graduate
schooldean. said a great deal depended on
the amount of undergraduate classes
taken on the pass—fail option.

if a transfer student applies who has had
several pass~fail courses, it is customary
to request letters of recommendation

Royster added although the graduate
school does not turn down such applicants,
“It does cause problems“ when trying to
compute to see if the 2.5 grade point
minimum is met.

Till“. Sl'RVl-ZY showed students may
havedifficulty in acquiring financial aid or
seeking employment without the
traditional grades on their records. At
some institutions, probationary status is
assigned to a new student if he has taken a
heavy load of pass-fail classes.

In order to supplement pass-fail records,
comprehensive letters, annotated grade
reports and other devices are needed.
Scores from standardized tests are more
heavily relied on than those of a student
with traditional grades, according to the
survey.

Both the survey and Royster believe that
pass-fail is clearly disadvantageous to
students wishing to enter graduate school
and will present problems of varying
degree to other students.

Survey results

Of the 200 graduate schools
polled 140 replied on their feelings
on pass-fail grading.

.LONDON —- Eightyone per cent of
Britain's coal miners voted for a crippling
nation-wide strike, and their leader said
Monday about the only thing that will head
it off is “more cash on the table."

“if the government doesn't take the
result of the ballot seriously then all i can
say is that the government itself cannot be
taken seriously,” declared union president
Joe Gormley.

OLOS ANGELES -— President Nixon was
officially subpoenaed on Monday to testify
in the Ellsberg burglary case.

The subpoena, requested by former
presidential aide John D. Ehrlichman.
ordered the President to appear in a Los
Angeles courtroom Feb. 25and again April
15.

0 WASHINGTON —— President Nixon
asked Congress Monday for authority to
spend more money on defense in fiscal 1975
than in any single year of World War ii.

The $85,8-billion spending request for the
coming fiscal year tops 1945, when the
$79.9 billion spent was the largest ever for
America's non-nuclear armed forces.

OWASIIINGTON — Soviet Foreign
Minister Andrei A. Gromyko began a
round of high level talks here Monday on
the prospects for an lsraeli-Syrian troop
disengagement and East German
pressure on access to West Berlin.

Gromyko was in an unusually expansive
mood as he emerged from a two-hour
session with Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger and headed for the White House
to call on President Nixon.

Jefferson County women converged on
Kentucky's capitol Monday to push an
anti-busing resolution.

OWASHINGTON — Negotiations in-
tensified Monday to end the spreading
independent truckers’ shutdown, with the
drivers still at odds over the government’s
objection to their key demand—a rollback
of diesel fuel prices.

Ol-‘RANKFORT — Gov. Wendell Ford
announced Monday he had placed the
Kentucky National Guard on alert to a
move to prevent further violence con-
nected with the independent truckers'
boycott.

Ford‘s action came after shots were
fired into five trucks in Kentucky as the
nationwide boycott began causing some
difficulties with supplies of gasoline and
food in the Bluegrass State.

Also, three Pike County schools were
closed for the day because of a gasoline
shortage. Pike County Judge Wayne
Rutherford declared an emergency
existed there.

The cold weather may still be with us as
the high today should be in the mid 305 and

Ford,the yes man

Vice-President Gerald Ford, in his fervor to protect
President Nixon, has embarked on a campaign to
show the White House is fully cooperating with
Special Prosecutor Leon Jaworski.

Ford intimates that Nixon has established an
unofficial “Operation Candor” with Jaworski, and is
only too eager to come across with tapes and

documents for which Jaworski has asked.

0

Jaworski, however, tells of problems obtaining
information, and speaks of one occasion in December
when he had to threaten the White House with a
subpoena before the information was relayed.

Ford maintains the White House has produced
more tapes and documents than Jaworski has
requested. :l‘hat may be true, but Ford overlooks the
obvious, in return for political gain. What good is it to
Jaworski and the Watergate investigation if the White
House produces 50 tapes, if none have any bearing on
the investigation, and were not requested by

Jaworski?

Nixon and his Administration have enough
problems dealing with the series of misdealings
currently under Jaworski’s scrutiny. It should avoid
new problems which may arise through Ford’s
shallow, “yes man” type remarks.

Letters to the Kernel

Scriptures will absolve Nixon

What is the reason for the push
of President Nixon‘s im-
peachment? Are the people who
are demanding impeachment
searching for truth or are they
searching for a sense of
righteousness to say, ”I knew I
was right".

In the article from Thursday
Jan 31. 1974 (Resolved: That
Richard Nixon should be im-
peachedl, it said, "Criminal
behavior anda loss of public trust
were cited as justification for
impeachment". If “criminal
behavior” did exist it could be
proven, but has it been proven?
“Loss of public trust" seems to
he shouted out only by those
unsupporting. pro-impeachment
Nixon “fans“.

I have heard Watergate for too
long, Why can‘t people who say
they want the truth search for it
with real concern. a concern for
the people of America.

SY LEON, who doubles as the
president of right-wing Ramparts
(‘ollege and chairman of the
League of Non-Voters, remarks
that the ”ninety-three million
who didn‘t vote for Nixon are the
real silent majority. They‘re so
silent be cause they‘ve got ear<
phones on and they‘re listening.“

Perhaps they are, Leon is one

of the few people around who '

takes iionyoters seriously.
Almost everybody else is too busy
calling them names or yelling at
them to get off their duffs to
ponder why so many don‘t care to
make that small effort.

Laziness hardly suffices as an
explanation. After all, your boss
has to pay youif you take time off
from work to vote, In most states
today it‘s easier to register than
to find a place to buy an airmail
stamp. Nevertheless, as suffrage
has been broadened and made
absurdly accessible, larger
numbers of people ignore the
whole process.

I repeat. 1 am tired of hearing
Watergate. [)oyou care about me
or is it that you want to prove
you're right.

Bottle bill

As you know, the “Bottle Bill“,
or bill prohibiting the sale of
beverages in non—returnable
glass containers was defeated by
the State senate on January 24,
1974. pending a two year
statewide study of Kentucky‘s
“litter problem“, (which is more
than a mere problem as anyone
familiar with places like Indian
falls in Jessamine (Tounty will
testifyi.

IT WOULD BE A mistake to
assume that all people who don’t
vote do so for the same reasons.
But whatever their reasons, they
have obviously concluded that, on
balance, the small expenditure in
energy it takes isn‘t worth it,
perhaps because they agree with
Leon, who says. “Voting is like
going through one of two doors.
Whichever one you take, you

wind up in ‘he same room."

The liberals came to that
conclusion with Lyndon Johnson
in the ‘60's; the conservatives
have learned the same from
Richard Nixon in the ‘70’s. The
usual response to this ob-
servation is that you've got to
participate to change it. Such
talk has a convincing ring until
one has participated, elected his
man and then found out he might
just as well have supported the
loser for all the difference it
made. This is not to say that more
than a very few non-voters are
disillusioned. dropped-out former
participants. Most people catch

Corps rejection of project
puts eggs in single basket

By STEVE MAYES

The Army Corps of Engineers
proposal to dam the Red River is
still up in the air pending the
completion of a final en-
vironmental impact statement.
However. to depend on the Corps
to reject one of their projects is
putting too many eggs in one
basket.

The (‘orps is trapped into
proposing and approving such
booby boondoggles in order to
justify its own existence. The
benefit-cost ratio is the magic
wand the (‘orps flourishes.
Simply put, the benefits have to
outweigh the costs of a project
before it can be authorized.

(1”,. FIIWIV Decker. retired
St. Louis District Engineer for
the ('orps describes the benefit-
cost ratio in all its glory. “it‘s
nothing but a ritual. They come
down the aisle swinging their
:nccnse and chanting ‘Benefit-
cost‘. You can adjust the B-(‘
ratio to justify any project, I did
it a few times myself.“

()stensibly. the benefits of the
(lam Will be flood control and
recreation. Two points need to be
made here. One, that floods are a
natural phenomenon and are not
the result of Poseidon‘s temper
tantrums; and two. that periodic
flooding enriches valley bottoms
through the deposit of water-
borne sediments and removes silt
from the river bed.

All too often the Corps views its
projects as a way of “taming“ or
“controlling" nature. But who
are they “controlling“ it for?

‘ fl“

lnev1tably it is the special in-
terest groups such as industrial
developers.towboat operators
and recreationaldevelopers (Red
River Gorge estates anyone?)

This need not happen. Two
alternatives have been noted by
opponents of the dam. Pipe water
from the (fave Run reservoir
near Morehead for a fraction of
the cost or build Booneville Dam
on the South Fork of the Ken-
tucky River. The Booneville Dam
would supply water for up to 100
years in the event of a drought
while the Red River dam would
only supply water for 30 years.

ANOTHER POINT to consider
is thatdams treat the symptoms

of the problem of flooding but not
the problem itself. Sometimes
floods are caused or increase in
intensity because of the activities
of man. Clearcutting of forests,
development along flood plains
and the destruction of the
surrounding watershed are just a
few of the ways that man alters
the ecological balance.

Dams also represent only a
temporary solution to the symp-
tom since their usefulness ex-
tends only 125 years.

Truly, the Gorge deserves a
better fate than inundation for 30
years of questionable water
supply (the last drought was in
the 1930's).

Three people hold the power to
halt the project now. Write Gov.
Wendell Ford and Senators
Marlow (‘ook and Walter Hud-
dleston and let them know that
you don't want another mud
puddle for water skiers.

And if this dam isn‘t stopped by
those three people i promise to
personally help Ray Dickinson
push the Corps‘ bulldozers and
earthmovers off the nearest cliff.
if this dam isn‘t stopped by those

FOR VALENTINES

There may be an energy crisis
today. but not in the same vein
that we are led to believe, ac-
cording to Dr. Teruo Fujii, acting
chairman of the telecom-
munications department.

Fujii has had much experience
in energy matters and was
previously a consultant for one of
the nation's leading oil com-

panies.

I-‘l'Jll (‘LAIMS the ecology
movement has been one of the
major contributors to the so-
called ‘crisis‘. He said ecologists
applied pressure to the oil
companies which resulted in a
curtailment of much drilling and
exploration for petroleum.

This gave the oil companies
and the government a perfect
opportunity to create the crisis
he noted, adding that the only
thing needed was a trigger.

uses a pint of blood.

"That trigger was the boycott
of the Arab States against US oil
importing“. he explained.

But Fujii warns, just because
there is not a true crisis now
doesn't mean we should not
worry. At the rate we are ex-
pending energy. there will be
one in our lifetime.

THE MAJOR reason for that is
the wasteful habits of the
American people. he said.

“These wasteful things include
cars with large engines, air
conditioning in homes and ears in
areas they are not needed, and
some of the other modern labor-
saving devices." he said.

If such wasteful expenditure of
energy continues, Fujii contends
that there will soon be a real
petroleum shortage. as well as
one of coal.

THE (‘OAL shortage will hurt
other facets of our life too. Much
of the coal that we burn could be
used in the manufacture of
medicine and other products, he
said.

There are many solutions to the
petroleum shortage. said Fujii,
but rationing is not one of these.
We would be better to attack the
problem at its source, he added.

Legislation for banning cars
with large engines is one thing
Fujii said he would like to see.
This would help solve two
problems he explained-—it would
stop the wasting of gasoline
which large cars cause and help
cut down on air pollution.

MORE Fl'Nl)S would also
have to be spent on developing
alternate forms of energy, such
as atomic energy and solar
power, said Fujii.

Computing center aids University

Hy \'l(‘l\'l BINGIIAM
Kernel Staff Writer

The University of Kentucky
(‘onlputing (‘enter, located in
McVey Hall, is a service facility
used to provide for the computing
needs of the University com-
munity.

The center operates 364 days a
year and employs 57 people to
run the $3 million worth of
equipment. The type of computer
being used is IBM System-360
Model 65.

“THE (‘ENTER'S budget is
approximately $750,000 this
year,“ said M.B. Solomon,
director of the center.

Each year the center is funded
according to the amount of
money allocated to vice-
presidents and administrative
officers for distribution to the
departments and the priorities of
programs presented to the
president and the vice-
presidents.

The operation of the computing
center is divided into three major
groups. The first group, data
processing, is responsible for the
operations connected with the
administrative functions of the
University. Second, research and
development, handles projects in
research and educational areas,
and third, systems programming
and operations, executes the
maintenance and technical
functions of the center.

MOST ()l" the work done by the
center pertains to instructional

purposes for students, said
Solomon. Forty-nine per cent of
the center's operation is in-
structional, 15 per cent is used for
administrative work, 25 per cent
is used for research, and the
remaining percentage is used for
maintenance and other functions.

One aspectof special interest to
students is the TESTH test
grading program developed to
score and evaluate tests. The
computer can score up to 160
questions per test form and can
score four different tests at once.

Test questions may be grouped
to obtain individual group results
in addition to the total test
analysis. Grouping can be used to

determine a student’s knowledge
of certain subject areas or to
test his ability to answer certain
types of questions.

THE COMPUTER can also
indicate how much a student is
guessing by penalty grading.

This program enables a
professor to evaluate and im-
prove his testing methods.

“(‘OMPI'TERS (‘AN help
make each individual unique"
said Solomon. “The computer
can remember what a student
has done on the basis of past
information and can give in—
dividual attention to the needs of
a student."
