Textbook selection depends

Iy SA" TARHAN
' Staff Writer

Students putting down money for
an armload of textbooks are usually
more concerned with how much the
.books cost. not with why the books
were selected in the first place.

But. as an essential part of academ-
ics. a textbook that is authoritative
and easy to understand is important.
especially if the courses are tough. or if
attendance is poor.

The procedure for selection of text-
books at UK is relatively uncompli—
eated. Most professors are free to
choose their own books — usually
from various publishing companies
that come to U K at different times dur-
ing the year. _

“It‘s a rather long process to select
books.“ said Herring. “I review about
eight or so texts and four or five sup-

Herring said he asks students to rate
the texts at the end of the semester.

John Stephenson said the process of
textbook selection varies from college
to college. Some departments may
have the faculty confer and decide
upon a particular text to be used by all
professors teaching a specific course.
If a professor wishes to use another
book. he must get clearance from the
chairman. Such conflict is rare. as
most faculty members confer on texts '
in course tht are team-taught. and
most professors in single-teacher
courses are allowed to choose their

own texts.

The publishing companies gear
themselves to particular subject areas
and professors review sample volumes
of potential texts. Once a professor has

Offers lifetime membership

New medical-social fraternity
hopes to mix social activity
with demanding studies

By MARY ANN BUCHART
Copy Editor

UK has both honorary and social
organizations. but there‘s now a group
on campus which may be a cross
between the two.

A medical-social fraternity (Phi
Delta Epsilon) is now open to med
students only. Extending lifetime
membership. it's the first medical
fraternity at UK since the School of
Medicine admitted its first students in
I960.

The idea of the fraternity (also open
to women) was initiated last year when
Curt Smith. a fourth-year med student
at the University of Louisville. and
regional coordinator for Phi Delta
Epsilon. presented the idea to UK
medical students.

The concept had been presented
before. but there wasn‘t any interest on
the part of the students. according to
the fraternity‘s president. Jeff
Hoogerheide. The administration

accepted the idea. but the students
were wary for fear of losing study time.

Hoogerheide found the idea
interesting. and got a group of friends
to push for it. “We started promoting
the idea with signs and word of mouth.
We had several rush functions at
various times. too.“

Phi Epsilon Delta is a national
fraternity. and it's given much support
to Hoogerheide and his friends in
getting the fraternity started. he said.
“That’s why our dues are so low.
because national gives us a lot of help.
especially financial. They also help us
with placement. loans. life insurance.
and more.“

UK‘s chapter received its charter
Sept. 9. The national sent guidelines
for the members to follow. but these
guidelines leave a lot of room for the
fraternity members to go in various
directions. “I‘d say most people in it
are in it for good times.” Hoogerheide
said. He added most plans for the
future lean toward social events rather

Placement Center 'link’ cited between UK, CIA

sy GIL LAWSON
Staff Writer

‘ A former Lexington radio
announcer claims he has established a
“link” between the University and the
CIA.

Nick Martin. in a story in the Oct. 30
edition of the New York weekly Vil-
lage Voice. said the University‘s place-
ment service has a direct link with the
CIA.

Harry Jones. associate director of
the placement service. denied any spe-

cial link with the CIA. Interviewed
after the Voice article was pubishcd.
Jones said the connection is just like
any other when it comes to recruiting
students.

,In a statement to the Associated
Press Tuesday. Martin claimed to
have “developed. for the first time. a
publicly acknowledged link between
the institution and the agency."

The Voice article dealt with the
arrests of eight Iranians and three
Americans at UK last April during a

speech by CIA Director Stansfield
Turner.

“Would you call that a |ink?."Joncs
said. “They come to visit campus and
recruit students. there's nothing hid-
den about it."

Jones said he talked with Maiun
about a month ago in a telephone
interview.

Jones also said the CIA is treated
like any other employer looking for
students to hire. “Any organization'
needs new personnel. The campus is a
source of well-trained people — it

happens the same way at other univer-
sities.” Jones said.

Jones said all the information the
placement service has on the CIA is
available to students.

“They‘re just like any other
employer." Jones said. He said the 900
'bulletins the service distributes on
campus includes announcements as to
when the CIA will be on campus to
recruit.

He noted two recent bulletins. one
for the period of Nov. 20-30 and the

other Dec. I-l0.

Listed under Central Intelligence
Agency openings are jobs for Agricul-
tural Economy. Geography and Com-
puter Science majors. The CIA is also
looking for graduate students to work
as Area Specialists in China. Latin
America and Russia.

There is also a booklet about work-
ing for the CIA available at the place-
ment service. It tells about different
jobs at the CIA. what it‘s like to work
for them and how to apply for a job.

than medical.

Phi Delta Epsilon is not officially
registered as a UK organization. said
Frank Harris. associate dean of
students. Official status allows a group
to use campus facilities and participate
in UK activities and events. and to
recruit on campus. Harris said.

“We try to incorporate the medical
with the social.“ said Hoogerheide.
“For example we are planning a
Christmas party to which local doctors
and lifetime members who attended
other schools will be invited." The
group will send some members to a
convention in Toronto. he said.

Hoogerheide also said entertain-
ment activities were planned. He said
the girls wanted to have a hayride this
fall. and a sled outing is planned at a
doctor‘s house this winter.

Dr. Arthur Lieber volunteered to be
the faculty advisor for the fraternity.
“The fraternity system brings people
together. and it will mix the students
with the community. providing
emotional and financial support.“ said
Lieber. who was a member at

Louisville in the 50‘s.

Lieber thinks the fraternity has an
interested group of freshmen and
sophomore med students. He said the
success of the chapter depends on the
students and officers. adding that
good leadership has been shown so far.

Hoogerheide was hopeful for the
success of the fraternity. After the
spring and fall recruitment. there are
now 38 members. seven of whom are
girls. “I expect a lot more interest in
the spring for two reasons. The
freshmen will have an easier semester
and they'll have this semester to get
used to med school. Most freshmen
are afraid to get involved their first
semester.

THE STATE OCCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND
HEALTH division said yesterday it has begun an investiga-
tion of a trench collapse here that trapped one of two con-
struction workers for l0 hours.

Lippman and Arvid R. Mctcalf. both of Wilmore. Ky..
were trapped when the trench in which they were installing

sewer lines for an apartment complex collapsed at 4 pm '

Wednesday.

The ditch in which the two men were trapped was about l6
feet deep. OSHA rules say trenches five feet or more in
depth must be equipped with braces or sloped to prevent col.
lapse. according to Bob Harrison of the state OSHA specifi-
cations sections.

A report by Greg Freedman of the Legislative Research
Commission staff referred to two flights of the F-27 between
March 30 and April IS from Frankfort to Miami and the
Bahamas.

“The first flight . . . may not have been covered . . . because
the command pilot was not one of the three pilots authorized
by the policy to operate the F-27.’ Freedman said in a mem-
orandum to the subcommittee on state vehicles and
PWMY-

He said the second flight was not covered because neither
the command nor copilot was an authorized pilot named in
the policy.

Freedman‘s memorandum said the F-27 is covered under
current policies only when Frank Stanfield. David Holder or
Robert Kellogg are the command pilots.

Sen. Hopkins represents consistency

(EDITOR‘S NOTE: This commentary

rebuttal to the newspaper‘s editorial
endorsement of State Sen. Tom East-
erly for Sixth District Congressman.)
Enough is enough! Lets get behind

and rates middle-of—the-road to mod-
erately conservatively on most issues.
His conservatism stamp seems based

On the other hand. Tom Easterly.
who runs his campaign via an old
Maverick. tends to waver on issues. He
rates as a pro-labor liberal but is sub-

commentary

 

Larry Hopkins entered the race late
and has been running swiftly ever
since. He has been criticized for step-
ping into the race after the incumbent.
John Breckinridge. was ousted by
Tom Easterly in the primaries. Hop.
kins. however. never asked Mary
Louise Foust to step down from the
GOP platform and. although he tried
hard. Easterly was never able to prove
that Foust was forced out of the race.

Hopkins is an average stockbroker.
(no. not wealthy) Easterly‘s in fact.

ject to change at any ungiven time. The
labor people think he is theirs. but they
could be surprised if he reaches
Washington and begins voting.

Being a political maverick is well
and good. but an idealistic man such as
Easterly won‘t last long in Washing-
ton: ineffectiveness sets in when fre—
quently jumping from liberal to
conservative stances. His liberal label
conflicts with his advocacy of a consti-
tutional amendment requiring bal-
anced federal budgets.

Education is important for any pol-
itical leader and here Tom Easterly has
quite a number of impressive degrees.
But education doesn‘t end there.

A Phi Beta Kappa key on a watch
chain doesn‘t insure a voter of a quali-
fied man. An effective politician
knows the issues and where he stands.
and Larry Hopkins appears to be more
educated in this sense.

Hopkins hasn‘t borrowed huge
sums of money for his campaign
efforts. people in the state have been
willing to give and so has the Republi-
can party. Money is not a campaign
issue unless it has been illegally given.
which is untrue of the Hopkins
campaign.

Hopkins has disclosed his finances
above and beyond what the law
requires (a claim his opponent would

be hard-pressed to make) and does so '

ahead of the deadline. The most recent
example is the Ethics in Government
Act of I978. signed into law by Presi-
dent Caner on Oct. 26. The act
requires candidates to file personal

financial information by Nov. l #
Hopkins released his information on
that day. Easterly has yet to file.

The Democrat is claiming he was
never notified. although Hopkins
released a letter. dated Oct. 27. from
the House clerk notifying him of the
new law. it seems a bit unreasonable to
persume that the clerk would only not-
ify one candidate of the law.

in today‘s politics. with new scan-
dals being uncovered with greater fre-
quency. it is important to have officals
who can act responsibly on all fronts
— whether it is on the voting floor or
campaigning for office. Judging from
past experiences and the concluding
campaign it is safe to say that only
Larry Hopkins has shown this
responsibility.

This country and. more impor-
tantly. the Sixth Congressional Dis-
trict need a congressman in
Washington they can count on to be
consistent. Larry Hopkins seems to fit
that description.

that there is no concern for the individ-
ual in this institution.

My apartment is five blocks from
the very edge if campus and I come to
depend on these phones. as i know
others have. The phones were indis-
pensible for contacting the Health
Center. getting in touch with friends
who dwell on campus and a good way
to spare 20 minutes and the 32 flights
of stairs it takes to ascertain whether
your professor really is there in the
l9th floor for his/ her office hours.

Granted this system was often
abused by people who monopolized
the phones to make long. personal.
off-campus calls. but now we weary.
under-funded students must either
shell out hard~to—come-by dimes or
walk all the way home to use our
phones or be 20 minutes late for class
to run errands and contact U K person-
nel whose business hours coincide
exactly with our in-class time and
whose lunch hours miraculously over-

lap with the only time i. at least. have

the style ofjazz that Tyner pref-
ers to play. as opposed to elect-
ric jazz-rock (fusion.) as he
stated in a Kernel interview
during his last visit in I977.

‘The acoustic piano is a beau-

appealing effect so natural.

contract. If an artist goes into

drums) recordings aptly titled
Superrrios.

Featured in the set were Jack
DeJohnette. Ron Carter and
