State rules Wendelsdorf illegally paid

By i’.\l'l. MONSOl'R
Kernel Staff Writer

The State Attorney General‘s Office has
ruled that Scot Wendelsdorf, student
member of the UK Board of Trustees, can
not he paid by the University and remain a
trustee

Wendelsdorf. also t‘K's student
government president. is paid by the
l'niversity through Student government.

Dean of students Jack Hall said the
student government at llK receives $10,000
a year from the l’niversity.

“Student government is the one who
determines how the $10,000 is spent," Hall
said.

Hall said the Student Government office
pays Wendelsdorf $500 per semester and
$200 for summer school if he enrolls.

The Attorney‘s General's ruling was
sought by John Darsie. legal counsel for
UK.

“What occurred is that the documents
(for the $10,000 voucher to Student
Government and indirectly Wendelsdorf‘s
pay from the University) was processed
through Dean Hall's office. .someone
(llK's Purchasing Department) stopped
the payment because it was in apparent
violation of the law" Darsie said.

“At this point Hall sent it to my office. I
simply didn‘t make a ruling. I told Jack to
hold everything. l‘d seek a ruling from the
Attorney General I was writing to check
my own opinion" that payment to Wen-
delsdorf was in violation of the law, Darsie
said.

“The DAV iDepartment Authorization
Voucher for the $10,000) came through my
office and I sent it to the Purchasing
Department and as the (Attorney
Generals) ruling says the Purchasing
Department refused payment." Hall said.

Darsie said the Attorney General‘s
ruling has no power of law, “but the At-
torney General is the chieflaw office of the
state and by and large agencies of the state
abide by rulings of the Attorney General,"
Darsie continued.

“The administration has no power to
appoint people to the Board of Trustees,
similarly we don‘t think it‘s the ad-
ministration‘s power to dismiss people
from the Board." Darsie added.

Darsie said the administration will take
no action to oust Wendelsdorf. lThe Board
of Trustees are appointed by the governor
as provided by state law.)

“In my mind. it (The Attorney General‘s
ruling) doesn‘t jeopardize his (Wen
delsdorf‘s) presence on the Board of
Trustees or as Student Government
president,“ Hall said.

“The real question is how can he be
paid, payment would have to come from

funds other than state appropriated
money,“ Hall continued.

The Student Government “could pay
Wendelsdorf out of their 150 account
(money the Student Government makes
on its own) if they wanted to. I‘m not
hypothesizing that they‘ll do this but they
could,“ the Dean of UK's 19,000 students
said

“1 don‘t know how much money they
have in their 1 150) account, it doesn‘t come
to my office and it is not state funds,“ Hall
said.

Wendelsdorf was not
comment.

Darsie received the ruling yesterday,
although it was dated February 16.

Darsie said the delay in receiving the
ruling was because such rulings are
written by assistants to the Attorney
General, Ed Hancock, who then clears the
rulings.

which could be done if UK had a
planetarium or observatory.

Besides benefiting the classes at the
University. a planetarium would be a
“public service facility" which would
be used to spice up grade and high
school classes. bringing favorable
attention to the university and the
goodwill of the community. That's the
view of Wasley Krogdahl. astronomy
professor who has fought a lonely
battle for a campus plantetarium for
years.

But the University can‘t afford to
build either new planetarium or
observatory in the near future. says
Alvin L. Morris. vice president for
administration. This type of facility
doesn‘t have high enough priority to
come before a library addition or
biological sciences building.

Wants to
‘clarify' Comment

In response to the Delehanty-Walker
“Comment" (“I was chained for four
years in a dorm." Feb 23 Kernel). I would
like to clarify a few points.

First. no one is out to obliterate the
“collegiate past time“ of frisbee throwing.
The rule you spoke of. yet conveniently
forgot to explain. is that the throwing of
frisbees as well as any other object in the
corridors of residence halls is prohibited
for the safety of the residents and building
alike.

in regard to your “misinformed“
definition of “open display;" the
University has given the residents the
benefit of the doubt by instituting the
“open display“ policy rather than having
every beer drinking resident turned over
to the police for violation of the law
prohibiting alcoholic beverages on state
property.

Fallacy number three. There is no rule
prohibiting the collection of empty beer
cans in the residence halls. However there
is a house rule in most halls that prohibits
beer can collections in the windows.

What it all boils down to is this: both of
you seem quite dissatisfied with the
residence halls program.

You have-

proceeded to blame the corridor advisors
for the rules that are established by the
Dean of Students Office. You have twisted
the definitions of these rules until they are
almost out‘and-out lies. I suggest that you
take a look at the Residence Halls Rules of
Conduct once more (or for the first time)
and attempt to understand why they were
established for the benefit of the entire
University community of which you all are
a part.

If you are still dissatisfied; no one has
you “chained in the dorm" for the next
three years. There are plenty of apart-
ments in Lexington. If you don‘t think that
you can live by the rules it would be for
your benefit and ours if you would consider
investing in an apartment for the next
year.

l'niversity cannot finance a facility
which may be considered by some to
be a luxury.

It would be possible. however, if a
donor could be found to finance a
planetarium. Krogdahl said that
President ()tis A. Singletary showed
some interest a couple of years ago
and tried to find a donor. But finding
one person to come up with at least
half a million dollars. and ideally. a
million for a “first—class”

Story
from
an airport

By mu. ('l'RRAN

Newark‘s airport is comfortably nestled
within the confines of a city that, among
other things, boasts the highest crime rate
in the nation. As airports go, Newark
pretty much typifies the cutesy-modern
design that seems to lend an aura of
elegance and affluence to the whole
business of shuttling herds of people from
one city to another.

The restaurants at Newark charge you
31 cents for the privilege of guzzling tepid
coffee with your fellow passengers and
with the pilots and stewardesses who
always seem a little larger than life. But if
you look closely. you begin to detect some
cracks in this thin facade of plastic luxury.

Mickey sticks out like a sore thumb at
Newark. He has no Pan-Am flight bag, no
copy of “Newsweek" or ”Time“ to idly
thumb through. He isn‘t interested in
departures or arrivals. At the moment, the
only thing Mickey wants to do is catch an
hour or so of uninterrupted sleep.

Mickey is a 17-year—old boy with blond
curly hair. and an advanced case of acne.
He stands about six feet and probably tips
the scales at around 140 pounds. He is
wearing a stained raincoat that looks to be
a size too large. The cuffs of the coat are
frayed and dirty wisps of thread hang
down on his wrists.

Sitting on a bench across from me with
his legs stretched out in front of him, I
notice that the sole of the shoe on his left
foot has completely worn through, ex-
posing an expanse of dirty white sock.

The people sitting next to Mickey have
been slowly edging away from him, trying
to move their hand luggage and them-
selves as unobtrusively as possible. If
Mickey notices their actions, he pays no
attention. He knows he smells and
probably looks like a throwback to the
breadlines of the Depression. That would
be fine, but this is Newark Airport, 1973,
and these people are waiting for jets to
I’ucrto Rico. not for a bowl of soup from
the Salvation Army.

Mickey classifies things like clean socks
and sweet-smelling underarms as nice but
unnecessary. His list of priorities consists
of three things: food. warmth and a place
to sleep.

You see. Mikey‘s home, or rather one of
them. is Newark Airport. He lives in public
places that never shut their doors. Places
like airports, bus stations and train ter-
minals. How does he make it? How does he
survive? Let Mickey tell you.

“I‘ve been living in places like this for a
long time now. I ran away from home
about three months ago. There was a lot of
shit comin‘ down on me, so I just split.

They weren‘t my real parents anyway.
Just one of them foster family deals. you

I asked him how he got his food and
where he slept. He looked at me, trying to
decide if I really wanted to know or if

maybe I was just stringing him along,
playing with him.

“Well,” he said, his eyes continually

Another source of food for Mickey is the
pretzel vendors who ply their wares in
front of Madison Square Garden. When
large crowds of people are either entering
or leaving the Garden. Mickey edges up to
the vendor, grabs a handful of pretzels and
runs like hell.

Mickey only makes the trip

new battlefields

By MARGARET MEAD New York Times News Service

The unique generation gap was man-
ifest on the college campuses in the
late 1960’s, when the senior citizens of
a new generation looked with horror
on what their elders had wrought, and
clamored, often with more vigor than
wisdom, for their own role.

This was not because they were
youthful, but because they were the
oldest people there were who had
been reared in the forever different
world that followed World War II.

The young people who had time to
think were on college campuses, and
their protests occurred on these cam-
puses. Some of their protests took
the form of protesting how unjustly
all young people, and college students
in particular, were treated as second
class citizens—war veterans who
couldn‘t drink a glass of beer or elect
to have their tonsils out, students who
couldn’t take part in governing their
own institutions and help choose what
they would learn.

Most of these latter battles are by
way of being won—we have the 18-
year-old vote, the student members of
university boards of trustees, laws to
permit minors to consult a doctor
about V.D._ pregnancy or drug addic-
tion without their parents' consent.
24-hour visitation and its far more
sensible successor, coed dorms. On
the campuses where these reforms
have not occurred, the situation is still
potentially explosive.

But what critics fall to see is that
college tomorrow leave part of
the protest and the hard, nitty-gritty
political work to their seniors because
they themselves are no longer the old-
est members of the new generation.
The previous campus protesters are
now out in the world as young law-
yers, doctors, teachers, politicians, and
scientists. They are working hard
and practically for the changes which
they realized, when they were in col-
lege, are necessary. They have not, as

their parents and protessors had hoped,
gone back to the suburbs.

The new generation was young, its
eldest members were in their teens,
they were on college campuses. They
are now in their late twenties, they
have children, they have jobs, they
have responsibilities. They do not mix
their present-day activities with the
undergraduate hijinks and the easily
invoked mass behavior which has been
characteristic of American college
campuses in and out of periods of
political awareness.

Nor have the campuses, now once
again happily watching football in the
fall and falling in love in the spring,
gone back to the old beliefs.
Everywhere I find not little caucuses
and politicized masses (characteristic
of the time when the campus was the
center of a new order), but great audi-
ences of students who are brought to
their feet by the hope of radical
change.

Youth has certain characteristics of
its own—impatience, delight in others,
a desire for responsibilities that is
often short-lived, an ebullient welcome
for new, age-specific fads. But the
generation gap wasn’t about youth as
such, it just happened when the first
of the new generation came of age.
The young people of today are still on
the other side of the generation gap,
and so have their troubles with their
parents and professors. But now they
have instructors and young supervi-
sors who have the same world view
that they have.

As long as anyone thinks that the
generation gap was about youth rather
than a period of history, they miss
the point.

says that it's difficult to get into
Manhattan and so he only goes when he’s
managed to scrape up a few dollars.

When I ask him how he obtains his
money. he shifts uncomfortably on his seat
and mutters, “I got ways.”

It was at this point in the conversation
that I began to wonder just why this kid
was talking to me at all. For all he knew, I
could have been an airport security guard
or even a cop. The same thoughts must
have been going through his mind too,
because he suddenly stood up and said that
he had to, “circulate“.

My plane wan‘t scheduled to leave for
another half hour, so I asked him if Icould
buy him a cup of coffee. He gave me that
evaluative look again and said, “Why
not?"

After I paid the waitress 62 cents for two
cups of coffee, Mickey relaxed and
became almost expansive describing his
hand-to-mouth existence.

“I left home and tried to get a job here
(Newark) but nobody will hire a kid who
can‘t give a home address. Besides, the
jobs sucked. I've slept in bus stations,

all night. The only bad thing is the cops.
They never bust you, they just hit you on
the feet with their sticks and tell you to
move on. So I just get up and crap out on
another bench."

Mickey says he has never been arrested
and he doesn‘t seem overly concerned With
the possibility. “If they get me I‘ll just
split again.”

Talking with Mickey. you soon come to
the realization that this is a street-Wise
kid, mature beyond his years. If there is a
17-year‘old boy beneath that knowing
visage. Mickey has successfully kept him
hidden He has dreams of bringing down a
big score some day. His eyes light up
briefly and he asks me it I've ever been to
Florida. I say yes. and he picks my brain
for memories of hot sun and curved palm
trees.

By now my plane was ready for Man

me Before I could pick up my bag. he was

Semesters vs. quarters

University systems compared

By SUE IIAUEN
BSl' Daily News Writer

UK, typical of six other
Kentucky state universities,
operates on a semester system,
different from Ball State
University in Muncie, Indiana,
based on the quarter system.

Quarter sessions consist of
approximately 11 weeks of study
before students change classes.
This system results in more
breaks than semester system
students experience. To com-
pensate, vacations are often
longer for semester students. For
instance, Ball State students had
two weeks Christmas vacation
compared to UK’s 26 days.

Stephen Langston, special
assistant to the vice-president of
academic affairs, said UK moved
closer to the quarter system
recently in beginning the
academic year early enough to
have semester and Christmas
breaks concurrently. First
quarters end at that same time.

Resulting from an early
beginning UK students end

classes in May, approximately
three weeks before Ball State
students are freed for the sum-
mer.

“Finishing in early May gives
UK students a better chance at
the job market,” Herbert
Drennon, advisor for the college
of arts and sciences, maintained.

UK operated on the quarter
system for six years during
World War II, Drennon said. The
system was incorporated “so
that a guy could finish classes
before he got drafted." Keler
Dunn, dean of admissions, who
was at UK during these years
labeled them “fast and furious.”

Drennon said the present
slower pace could be ad-
vantageous to students in certain
areas.

However, a language course
would be more beneficial if held
every day (which is chacteristic
of classes on the quarter system)
for retention of subject matter,
he said. A longer time span is
needed for history students, he

said, because outside reading is
essential.

Dr. John Madden, academic
ombudsman, thought the longer
time spent on classes in the
semester system “gives time for
learning to sink in.“ He said UK
was a combination of both the
quarter and semester system
having intercession and summer

school as concentrated periods of

study.

Two semesters are considered
the equivilent of three quarters.
Drennon said, “Transfering in
mid-year is complicated whether
coming or going on the semester
system." He used the example of
a student who had completed two
quarters of chemistry and
wondered if he now had to take
another semester.

Dunn said that of 600 transfer
applications for this year, “not
over a dozen are from the quarter
system." He added Transylvania
University was the only school in
the state operating on the quarter
system and with few UK tran-
sfers from there.
