House panel
approves

course credit

legislation

By LINDA (‘ARNES

Kernel Staff Writer

FRANKFURT — The house education
committee did not discuss a bill con-
cerning confidentiality of university and
college student records but did approve
two bills Tuesday regarding transfer of
credits from one Kentucky college to
another.

Due to the illness of the committee
chairman, Brooks Ilinkle tI)-Paris), the
confidentiality bill was not on Tuesday‘s
agenda but is scheduled to be brought
before the committee February 26.

House bills 237 and 262 were approved
for the second time. They were returned to
the education committee by the Rules
committee. Both bills deal with the
transfer of credits and neither were
changed after the second discussion.

REP. (ILEN FREEMAN ll)-
(Tumberland), sponsor of both bills, said
they were designed to help students in
remote areas.

HR 237 would require state colleges and
universities to accept transfer of all lower
division academic courses from any
community college in Kentucky regar~
dless ol the total number. Now only 67

credit hours can be transferred from
community colleges to a four—year school.

A staff member of the (‘ouncil on Public
Higher Education, Harry Snyder, said he
didn't think HB 237 would help the
situation. The (‘ouncil does not recom«
mend the bill, he added.

THE OTHER bill, HR 262, would require
all courses taught at state universities and
colleges, including community colleges, to
be standardized to make them easier for
transfer.

Freeman said since the bills were sent
back he had contacted several institutions
and reported most are in favor of the bill.

In other business, Rep. Albert Robinson
1R~Pittsburgl again asked the committee
to approve his HB 435. It would authorize
the Council to enter into reciprocal tuition
programs with neighboring states.

THE HILL was not passed at the
February 13 meeting and the committee
adjourned before a vote could be taken on
a motion to report HB 4350utof committee
favorably.

During discussion Snyder said Kentucky
is currently working on localized
reciprocity programs with surrounding
states. but reported the (‘ouncil is opposed
to the bill.

Ilesaid it would be too much trouble for
the state to compute the different tuition
rates as the bill specifies. Tuition rates
would vary because out-of—state students
in Kentucky would be charged the same
price as Kentucky students attending
college in that state.

ANOTHER bill sponsored by Robinson,
HB 335, was not reintroduced to the
committee after they did not approve the
bill at the last meeting.

Robinson said he would pass over the bill
because he had not found the answer to
several questions asked by the committee
about the bill.

He said it may be brought up at another
meeting but may not be reintroduced until
1976. The bill would give Kentucky
residents priority over out-of-state
students in admission to graduate and
professional degree programs at state
colleges and universities.

We feel Exile would have
stopped after the song they were

chance. To the students and
Exile this was a rude and un-
needed way to handle the

Poor English

Has anyone on the Kentucky
Kernel staff taken ninth grade
English‘.’ In the February 14 issue
the word affect is used where
effect should have been used in
the editorial about “Raising a
Stink” and in the headline on
“Energy (‘risisz Affect (sic) on
the black community." Mistakes
of this kind are so common in the
Kernel that I suggest you hire an
English major to proofread it and
bring it up to the junior high
school level.

An example

'l‘hc articlc that Mike Wells
wrote for 'l‘ucsday's Kernel.
t”:\lllt‘l‘l(‘a. Love it or leave it.
etc. ctc.”i is one good reason
why virtually all the letters to the
editor should be written by junior
and senior journalism students,
rather than by freshmen.

‘Fortunate'

It is fortunate that Mike
Wells is a sociology major
because he'd never make it in
journalism. A good journalist
gets the facts, and in his editorial
(Kernel. Feb. 19, page 3) he
missed quite a few.

His statement that “virtually
all the Letters to the Editor are
fom junior and senior students
(usually in journalism)...." is a
severe distortion of the truth.

(‘ontinued on page 3

‘Hey, boss, practice what you preach'

\l'.\Slll.\'(;'l’ON — Outside in the snow.
the pickets carried signs telling their
bosses in the National Education
Association headquarters to Practice
What You Preach. Inside the offices of our
largest teachers‘ union w 1.4 million
members the Deputy Executive
Director. Robert (‘hanin. confessed to
more than a degree of chagrin.

“After the years I‘ve spent leading
picket lines. if you think I like to walk
across onefll don't.“ he told his in-
terviewer with an emphasis that permitted
no misinterpretation. and then added “the
slogans they shout are the ones I coined.
They lifted the quotes out ofmy speeches. I
look at them. and I say ‘did I really say
that'?‘

WITH THE recent independent truck-
drivers' strike. indeed with any labor
shutdown of any service everyone depends
on. a lot of us get the same uncomfortable
feeling that the wrong people are shouting
our slogans. Mr. (‘hanin. the labor leader.
and Mr. Chanin. the employer. are going to
havea hard time agreeing with each other.

“The NBA is a private enterprise." he
says by way of prefacing his

organization‘s insistence that it has the
right to lay people off for reasons of
economy and efficiency. The NEA also
wants to measure its employees‘
productivity just as it wants the power to
transfer them to different positions
without their permission.

The NBA staff union wants the same
kind of job security for its members that
schoolteachers want, which means in
many places you can‘t be fired unless
you're convicted of child molestation and
your appeal is denied.

THEY HAVE TO trust us." says Mr.
(‘hanin in words many a school board must
have tried on him. “We must protect
ourselves." he declaresas he explains why
he must resist demands for rigid work
rules and tenure. “We don‘t know what‘s
going to happen. We can't totally lock
ourselves in."

The demands that NEA puts on school
boards and the demands its own em-
ployees level on it are the same. but the
tactical situation is entirely different.
What the staff union can't win at the
bargaining table. it can't win. What NEA
can‘t win by bargaining collectively with a

school board it can often recoup in the City
(‘ouncil or the state Legislature.

Two cracks at the barrel is what
Theodore Kheel calls it. The New York
labor mediator. who may have helped
settle more public service strikes than
anybody else in the country. points out that
this second chance offered to goevernment
employees has made it very difficult to
resist their demands.

AT ONE TIME permitting public ser-
vice employees‘ unions to lobby for higher
pay made sense because they didn't have
the right to strike. They still don‘t but they
do anyway, and they usually get away with
it. Occasionally a few of the leaders pull a
little time for contempt of court. but ways
are even found to pay public service
strikers for the time they were on stike.

Now. in a time when we have both in-
flation and rising unemployment. the
power of public service employees‘ unions
grows greater in comparison to other
unions. Unions in the private sector have
to be mindful of the layoff, of the fact that
companies with large inventories and few
customers are willing to take a strike.
They may welcome it. There are no layoffs

if you work for the government. After the
strike there is a job waiting for you. (‘ivil
Service has taken care of that.

For the last couple of years. private-
i-ntcrprise unions haven't been pushing
inflationary wage settlements. With the
job market as bad as it is. observers like
Kheel don‘t think they will now. The
government unions arc another matter.
Through the 1960‘s many were in hog
heaven getting their people contracts with
pay. pensions. annual leave. and job
security in exchange for less and less work
of poorer and poorer quality.

WITH MARI) times coming the
productive part of the economy can‘t take
the load. so let's hope that school boards
trcat Mr. (‘hanin the way he treats his
employees.

The socalled negative com-

Editorial criticism, whether good

of a given situation. The writer
does not attempt to force his

he offers suggestions or opinions
which in his own mind com-
plements a “positive" situation,
or improves a more “negative"
one. (‘riticism leads to change,
