Sentiment against A&S department shuffle

Because of its long-term effects on students
and the University‘s future, the College of
Arts and Sciences (A & S) reorganization
proposal has been called one of the biggest
issues on the UK campus this year.

For one of the biggest issues on campus, the
proposal seems sadly lacking in a good
breakdown of the educational benefits to be
derived from the splitting of some of the
departments from A & S and re-aligning them
with other colleges in the University.

Several UK faculty members have
wondered if the purpose of the reorganization
is just to make things easier for
administrators in the College of Arts and
Sciences.

The list of educational benefits in the
proposal, on a numerical basis. is far
outweighed by the administrative benefits.

At first glance the 60-plus page proposal is a
well—researched. well-organized and impress—
ive study of some different arrangements and
models at other universities.

However. the UK proposal doesn‘t give
much space to the glaring philosophical
differences in approaches and thrusts of the
units affected.

The College of Architecture, for example. is
one of the more profession-oriented colleges
on campus. Its thrust is toward performance

However, methodologists and art historians
in the Department of Art. which the proposal
would wed with architecture, are upset that
their liberal arts approach would be lost if the
art department left the College of Arts and
Sciences.

Another proposed alignment, merging the
school of communications and the College of
Library Science. has basically the same
problems.

The College of Library Science is primarily
a graduate school. The few undergraduates it
has are associated with the College of
Education and are taking library science
courses for teacher certification. Its graduate
students stay for only two years and move on
into specialty fields.

The school of communications, on the other
hand. includes several different programs
and departments, some teaching a theoretical
approach to communication and some dealing
with professional fields. such as journalism.

Others complain that Library Science‘s
students are accustomed to intensive advising
and a close relationship between students and
teachers. In the school of communications.
however. the student-to-teacher ratio is
roughly 50 to one. hardly conducive to

The only really favorable reaction to the
proposal has come from the school of music,
which if merged with the department of
theater arts. would stand to gain more public
exposure. The school of music would also have
greater freedom in evaluating professors and
programs ._ which is sometimes difficult for
performance-oriented disciplines under pres-
ent A & S standards.

Another consideration which the proposal
largely ignores is the economics of splitting
and remerging. The costs are supposed to be
“absorbed" by the colleges, but the cost of
moving student records alone is formidable.

them“. there are deeper philosophical
approaches inherent in the disciplines than
the proposal takes into consideration. It might
be more feasible to study what these
departments, schools and colleges are doing
at this I'niversity than how well similar
departments work together at other schools

With the cost of a college education rising on
an almost semester-to-semester basis, and a
desperate need fora faculty raise in salaries.
it would be more economically and
academically feasible to arrange cooperative
courses rather than shuffle colleges. schools.

Getting Pan Am out of hock

By NICHOLAS VON HOFFMAN

WASHINGTON — Last August
a minor hullabaloo erupted when
Pan American Airways asked the
government for a $10-million-a-
month subsidy. The
Administration said it wasn’t
going to have any of that stuff . so
score one for the free market.

It now appears that a subsidy of
$125 million has been arranged
outback, where it will go largely
unnoticed. Instead of from the
government, the money is
coming from a group of banks. To
share the high risks involved. the
loan is being laid off on no less
than 36 of them.

EVEN so, this is very peculiar
at a time when the Federal
Reserve Board is urging banks to
stick to safe, high-quality loans.
Not only is Pan Am more than $30
million in the red this year, the
firm already owes almost $900
million dollars. So before it buys

a dime’s worth of kerosene for its
jets, it must pay nearly $4 million
a month in interest on its
borrowings.

In addition, Pan Am is com-
mitted to pay off another $900
million-plus for leases on planes,
computers and other equipment.
Thus the company can be con-
sidered to be in hock to the tune of
something near $2 billion.

If you were a bank, would you
lend this outfit money? No, and in
fact one of the bankers who did is
quoted by The Wall Street
Journal as saying, “Obviously,
this isn't the normal type of loan
we like to make.”

So why make it? The Journal
reports it learned from banking
sources that “the decision to ‘go
along’ with the airline resulted
from the ‘strong interest and
dedication‘ shown by the Tran-
sportation Department and other

federal agencies." This is muted
business language for saying that
the Federal Reserve Board and
its chairman, Dr. Arthur Burns.
leaned on the banks as they have
before to make loans to sick parts
of the economy.

SUCH CONDUCT by the
Federal Reserve increasingly
reminds one of Jean Baptiste
Colbert, Louis XIV’s controller
general of finances. who once
said, ”A banker should behave
toward a finance minister like a
soldier toward a general.”

When the Board makes and
executes these far-reaching
policy decisions in its obscure, if
not secret, fashion, it is un-
derstood that any losses will be
papered over with newly printed
dollar bills, while the appearance
of an ordinary, free-market
business loan is maintained by
announcing that Pan Am has put

possibly not coexist peacefully.

ABC wisely defends
gullible students

In November. 1970. the Kentucky Alcoholic Beverage
(‘ontrol «ABH Board jll(ll(‘l()ll.\'l_\‘ defended the morals of all
Kentucky students.

The vehicle of dctense was ABC regulation 16:10. which
states: “No...licensee ol the Department of Alcoholic
Beverage (‘ontro|...sha|l advertise alcoholic beverages in
any educational institutions paper. magazine. book or
pamphlet."

For almost four years that regulation was openly flaunted
by ABC licensees as they subtly but surely sucked student
after student down the alcoholic drain through
advertisements mentioning those forbidden words.
“liquor" and “beer". (But will their ethyl acohol douse the
flames of hell?)

On October 24. at long last, the ABC stood up on its hind
legs and cried “Enough?" Screwing up its courage. it
forthwith dispatched a letter admonishing the offending
licensees for corrupting UK students via Kernel ads. The
licensees, awed by the AB(“s righteous wrath, could not but
surrender.

However. a sodden faithless few (lacking liver and brain
cells no doubt) have questioned our defender‘s wisdom.
They say college students are mature enough to make their
own moral decisions. They say that at least 58 per cent of
the Kernel‘s campus audience is legally allowed to buy
liquor.

Some of these misguided souls even go so far as to
challenge the regulation's applicability to the Kernel. They
try to argue that the Kernel is an independent newspaper.
run by a corporation and funded through advertising
revenue. They stoop to the depths of illogic by claiming that
the Kernel was forced to go independent, yet is not granted
the same rights accorded to other independent newspapers.

Astoundedly, these mindless immorals conclude that the
ABCis not really interested in protecting us at all, but that
politics is behind the whole thing. They draw a preposterous
connection between ABC commissioner Julian Knippen-
berg‘s devotion to Wendell Ford and the Kernel‘s
endorsement of Marlow Cook.

It is. time someone stood up for the ABC and exposed the
fallaCIes in these arguments.

Amidst booze, popcorn and politicians

By JOHN SCHAAF
“Work your lingers to the bone...
..What do you get?...bony fingers..."

Some very strange tunes are oozing out
of the car radio as we speed toward
Louisville for what promises to be an in-
teresting, if not insane, evening.

Hoping for a generous dose of that in-
sanity, several UK students, dressed like
bankers at a Rotary Club meeting, drove
toward the Executive Inn West and what
was billed as a magnificent victory
celebration for Democratic
candidates in Tuesday's election.

Armed with respectable appearances
and press passes secured through nearly
legitimate methods, we arrived expecting
free flowing liquor, tables stacked with
food and, most importantly, some hack
politicians at whose expense we hoped to
have a few laughs.

We are soon disappointed. The
ExecutivelnnWest is an unfinished motel
with paint splattered concrete floors,
wires and pipes hanging from the ceiling,
and pictures of Wendell Ford plastered on
every inch of the plywood walls.

Drinks are available only on a cash basis
and all the food at the party is in two large
green bathtubs. one filled with potato chips
and the other containing thousands of
glistening kernels of popcorn. Gov. Ford
has underwhelmed us with this unusual
display of porcelain dishware.

Moreover, the politicians on hand are an
especially offensive collection of Wendell’s
‘good ole boys.’

Politicans are, as a group, a crew of
back-slapping reptiles. 0n election nights,

however, they become particularly
disgusting.

Drooling bourbon and Seven-Up, the
party hacks wander through this swamp of
a motel grinning toothy grins and pressing
their sweaty palms on the loyal party
soldiers, apparently placed there to act as
ego boosters for all the ‘would-be’ and the
‘has-been‘ human leeches who “practice”
politics in this state.

In addition to the older buzzards, there
was a bagqu of anxious Young Democrats
also in attendance.

As one observer commented, “Every

ambitious Student Council President in
Kentucky is here.”
Meanwhile, outside, one of these future
politicos admonishes his female com-
panion to “put on a real pretty smile” as
they approached the front door.

Indeed, at political gatherings the art of
smiling is very serious business.

The Democratic celebration, after
starting slowly, begins to pick up as it
becomes apparent that Ford is winning by
a very large margin.

The ‘names' start to arrive. U. S.
Senator Walter D. Huddleston is grabbing
every hand that’s not immersed elbow
deep in a bathtub of popcorn.

“Dee" is thought of in some political
circles as a congressional marshmallow
due to his less than decisive nature. In the
course of this evening he will assert that
“Yes, Wendell Ford would make an ex-
cellent candidate for national office in
1W6." Dee will also state with authority
that,“l don’t want to speak for Gov.Ford
but I do feel that since he was just elected
to the Senate it would be premature to
think about 1976."

This type of garbled thinking is not
limited to Huddleston, of course. The in-
sistence of politicians in blowing smoke
around issues in order to confuse the
collective public mind is a characteristic
closely akin to a wino’s vice-like grip on a
half-emptied bottle of Ripple.

The wino is secure in his own world and
he believes his continued safety is
dependent upon his bottle. Likewise, a
politician leans heavily on his ability to
shuffle his position on an issue by ef-
fectively clouding that issue for his con-
stituents.

Thus, Marlow Cook could become an
outspoken critic of the Red River Dam
after originally being equally vociferous in
his support of that concrete monument to
Carl Perkins.

But we are losiing sight of the
celebration. By 9 pm. this shining
example of modern motel architecture is
bulging under the immense weight of the
Bluegrass State’s version of Boss Tweed
and the Tamany Hall gang.

Minutes later the tin-plated Dixieland
band on the podium runs through a version
of “My Old Kentucky Home” which would
have chased Stephen Foster to North
Dakota. »With stirring music filling their
heads the Democrats went crazy as their
heroes bounded onstage through a
magically parted curtain. Shades of the
Red Sea.

The day’s big electoral winners, Wendell
Ford and Rep. Ron Mazzoli were there. In
addition, there was Lt. Governor Julian
Carroll, who had just captured the
Govemor’s Mansion without receiving a
single vote. Certainly he considered

himself a very big winner. As Ford talked,
Carroll stood behind him with a power-
crazed look in his glazed eyes which spoke
more eloquently than words about Julian’s
inner feelings.

Also on the podium was the inevitable
collection of plastic political wife-and-
children dolls. It must be the glaring
television lights which annually cause the
faces of politicians and their families to
melt into an homogenized blend of white
teeth and healthy hair.

The applause, embraces, enthusiastic
waves to the loyal precinct peons are all
perfectly executed, then, as the
assembly of stars slowly abandoned the
podium I saw the Mayor of Louisville,
Harvey Sloane. In a room where
politicians swarmed like locusts I had
finally found a public servant.

The Mayor was elated over the success
the transit referendum in Jefferson County
which would allow Louisville to operate a
wide-ranging mass transit system. Sloane
said he worked harder for the referendum
than he had for his own election a year
earlier.

Sloane seemed strangely out of place at
this gathering, much like a bar of Ivory
soap floating on scum-infested Lake Erie.

The crowd had been slow in arriving and
likewise was hesitant to completely
disperse while any trace of liquor
remained in the building.

Eventually they were gone, having
experienced the weird high of an election
victory and congratulating themselves for
having come to the aid of the party.

Pan Am needs more than flow of inflated dollars

up “collateral." In this instance
the collateral included such
goodies as the airline’s ex-
travagant $126 million terminal
at New York‘s Kennedy Airport.
In the event of foreclosure, what
are the banks supposed to do with
that? Turn it into a bowling
aHey?

Perpetual Debt
In fact by encouraging these
kinds of loans the Federal
Reserve Board is bringing a new
kind of corporate debt into
existence. This is perpetual debt,
an instrument of loans that will

 

not and cannot ever be repaid.
Even without this loan, which
was made merely to cover
operating expenses, not to in-
crease productivity, it is in-
conceivable that Pan Am can
make enough dough to liquidate
its mass of loans, mortgages and
leases.

PERPETUAL DEBT can
occasionally work. In 1624 Elsi
Jorisdochter invested 1,200
florins in a Dutch semi-public
enterprise called the Lekdyk
Bovendams Company. In 1957,
333 years later, the bond she

  

bought was still paying interest;
but the point is that, if our
government is going to switch to
these means of corporate
finance, the Congress should vote
on it.

Pan Am is in no shape to pay
interest for three centuries. Its
top management has been
criticized for years for colossally
bad business judgment; while it's
true that Pan Am faces unfair,

subsidized foreign competition.

the company‘s in the trouble it‘s
in because it bought planes it
does not need and has no
customers for. This year it is

estimated it will fly 16.7 million
empty seat miles (the number of
vacant seats multiplies by the
number of miles flown).

But saving Pan Am requires
more than perpetual infusions of
inflationary dollars and
precarious financing schemes.
The company's markets will also
have to continue to be protected
by the vines and tendrils of
Federal regulations, thus making
it all the harder to get rid of
buttinsky regulatory agencies
like the Civil Aeronautics Board.

THERE ARE 3 lot of jobs at
stake at Pan Am; the

psychological impact of a major
brand corporation like this one
going down would be very less
than funny, but the economic and
political dangers of these in-
choate rescue measures may be
much more costly. While we wait
to find out, we can enjoy the joke
going around Wall Street about
the situation: ”The good news is
that Polish Airlines is taking over
Pan Am; the bad news is that
they‘re going to let the present
management keep running it."

Inflation affects
library products

By CHUCK COMBES
Kernel Staff Writer

Rising periodical and journal
costs have reduced funds avail-
able for new books, said Director
of Libraries Paul Willis.

About half of the $950,000
allotted for acquisitions last year
was used to buy 33,000 serial
publications. Only one-quarter
was used for similar purchases in
I969.

THE REMAINDER of the
acquisitions allocation is used to
buy new books. Since serial
publication costs have risen so
sharply, the library is not able to
buy as many books.

Only one-fifth of the library’s
$2,413,000 budget last year was
spent on new book acquisitions.
said Willis.

Rising labor and paper costs
have caused serial costs to rise
drastically over the past several
years, according to the Oct. 1
issue of Library Journal.

JOHN BRYANT, assistant
director for technical support,
said serial publications account-
ed for the major purchases of the
branch libraries, which received
53 per cent of the acquisitions
allocation.

Serial publications included
magazines, journals and
multiple-volume works which are
published over an extended
period of time.

Bryant said several library
staff members and department
Chairpersons are reviewing
serial purchases to lower costs
and update other purchases
according to current needs.

MOST OF UK‘s acquisitions
are sent to the library by the Able

Approval Plan (AAP), which
surveys all new publications and
compares them with a profile of
UK’s needs.

After AAP sends the books,
they are classified according to
subject and then reviewed by
library staff and faculty mem-
bers concerned with the subject,
said Bryant. Books are then kept
or returned depending on their
recommendations.

Bryant added additional titles
and profiles of other books are
listed for the faculty to review
and can be ordered, with each
additional order changing UK’s
AAP profile.

LESS THAN 20 per cent of the
acquisitions allocation was left
for purchases other than through
AAP. About $141,000 was spent
for faculty orders to be used for
classes and in the reserve room.

Inflation has increased the
value of UK’s rare books in many
cases, he added.

Jacqueline Bull, associate
director for special collections,
said one 20-volume work was
purchased by Margret King in

947 for $750. An identical set sold
recently at an auction for $31,000.

Willis said the library’s almost
year-round 8am. to 12 pm. open
hours was one of the system's
major expenses. About $1 million
paid in salaries during the year
accounted for more than half of
the total budget.

An additional $163,000 was used
for operation expenses including
supplies and special construction
and maintenance.

Willis said of 80 major libraries
in the Association of Research
Libraries, UK ranks about 50th in
the areas of total expenditures,
salaries and acquisitions.

Student Senate cancels
second half of meeting

By SL'SAN JONES
Kernel Staff Writer

Although lacking a quorum. the
Student Senate acted on the first
half of its business last night and
then cancelled the latter half of
the meeting for lack of a quorum,

The senate elected to consider
Student Government (SUI Fi—
nancial Affairs Director Jim
Metry's fiscal program and the
expenditure of approximately $85
for photo copies of faculty and
staff salaries. even though only to
of 40 senators were present. This
is five short of a quorum

Ht)“ EVER. “HEN the senate
was asked to appropriate $100 for
'a speaker sponsored by the
Young Socialist Alliance WSA»
the request for a quorum resulted
in an end to the meeting

Dentistry Qenalor Bruce t‘om
best asked during consideration
of Metry's programs if it is
necessary to have a quorum
present when conducting and
voting on business

"My understanding of parha
mentary procedure is if a quorum
is not called we can get by with
conducting business." St; Presi-
dent [)avid Mucci said "This
issue (Metry‘s programsi is so
pressing we should go on "

.\ Ql‘tlltl'M call is a vote or a
roll call which assures that a
majority is on hand to act on
required business

None of the senators tltl_]t'('tt‘tl
to Mucci's ruling .-\ quorum call
was not made even is hen the
meeting was adjourned due to
lack of a quorum

Directly prior to .‘llijilllrtllllt‘tlt
the senate was discussing YSA'a
request At this another
senator asked if a quorum should
required to
allocation of funds. even though
