Fabrics class to move

during spring break

By JOHN “INN M" l. FR
Kernel Staff Writer

.The art department fabrics class -
comprised of 40 students *will be moved
from the Reynolds Building during spring
break. according to Dr. Lewis Cochran.
vice president for academic affairs.

The decision was reached Wednesday
during an hourlong meeting between
(‘ochran and five administrators from
\ anous departments

“WE RHAt‘llEl) a general consensus
that it would be in everyone's best interest
to move the class out of Reynolds Building
to Funkhouser Building." (‘ochran said

The critena for the decision was that the
fabrics class which includes woven and
non woven fabrics might be in violation
of safety standards. “Although there are
no specific violations. we feel a marginal
situation exists which could be hazardous
to the students." t‘ochran said “This
conclusion was based on information
provided by Paul Kearney. l'K design and
constrtuction."

Kearney said he would not comment at
this time.

Other administrators participating in
the meeting were' .loe Fitzpatrick. art
department chairman; Robert Boyer,
('ollege of Arts and Sciences ad»
ministration sen/ices; Steve Logan. UK
safety division; and Art (iallaher, dean of
Arts and Sciences.

"THE REYNOLDS building is classified
as an overflow building and not an
academic one.“ Logan said "We felt that
with the addition of the fabric classes this
classification would change and
therefore the Reynolds Building would
have to meet stricter standards "

('ocbran explained the difference bet»
ween the two classifications as being “a
Judgment on the safety people's part
il.ogan and Kearney" "

"There is a lot of residual doubts about
Just what the federal safety standards
are." Fitzpatrick said “So. we decided to
remove the weaving class in order to
prevent any possible violation "

The heavy shuffle on the weavng issue

There's some heavy shuffling going
on in administrative circles these
days concerning the Reynolds
Building. First a weaving class was
told it would have to move from the
Reynolds Building to the Funkhouser
Building because of a violation of
safety standards. The move was
delayed when it was discovered the
city fire marshal had not found any
violations. nor had he ordered the
removal of any classes from the
building. Yesterday. six ad-
ministrators met and decided that
both woven and non-woven fabrics
classes would indeed have to move to
Funkhouser.

On the spot

Why the move, if no violations of
safety standards exist‘.’

Several of those at the meeting said
"it is in the best interest of the
students" and then declined to ex-
plain any further. There was also talk
of a "marginal situation” in that the
fabrics classes t which moved into the
Reynolds Building at the beginning of
this semester» may have changed the
status of Reynolds Building from an
"overflow” to an “academic“
building. in which case it was ap-
parently felt the building was not
adequate safety-wise. None of those
attending the meeting could or would
precisely define the difference bet—

ween "overflow" and ”academic”
other than to say it was a matter of
judgement for the safety division,
The most obvious explanation for
the removal of the classes and for the
administrators reticence to speak on
the matter is that they want to avoid
not only trouble with safety inspectors
but any appearance of trouble, After
all. the Reynolds Building is old and
could definately stand some
renovation. If the whole building w as
declared unsafe. leaving no space for
sculpture. metalwork. drawing. etc .
it would be hard to explain to the art
students why 33 million is being spent
on a fine arts building which will not

contain sorely needed studio space.

The end result is that the trouble
wfnch the administration does not
want is being passed to it) or so
students in the fabiics classes. who
must move looms and all for the
second time in several months, this
time in the middle of a semester,

ft is entirely possible that there are
some very good reasons for the
lill)l‘lt'.\ classes not to be located in the
Reynolds Binlding 'l‘hose reasons
should have been discovered before
the classes moved in there. but since
they were not it is now the duty of this
l'niveisity to clearly explain those

Wondering where the light goes and other things

 

By Ll'TH ER LANGSDON

Regular listeners to the new
FM stereo rock station in town
are familiar by now with adver-
tisements for a beer brewed in a
nearby Kentucky town. The text
of the commercials discusses the
relative beauty of the cans in
which the product comes. what to
do with empties. the size of the
brewery compared to the other
one in Kentucky and a tiff with
another nationally known beer
company over the use of an eagle
in promotion. The result of the
whole effort leads one to suspect
the writer. producer, and an‘
nouncer must have tipped a few
together befor starting. People of
distinction would not drink any as
a matter of principle.

The disagreement between the

strikes me as a glorified form of
the wisdom revealed by a factory
worker with whom I worked
some time back.

shape is that of a three-story

giant Dixie cup tower outside
Lexington.

A couple of summers ago. I
worked in factory in the shadow
of that bottle. During a lunch
break one day I wondered aloud
to a co-worker named Butch what
the builder had made the mam-
moth facsimile out of. “Well
glass. of course Y ” Butch quipped.
and added “We don't wonder
around here. Whenever we don‘t
know anything we just make up

Reading about ”cycle safety" in
“The New Look of the Students
Health Service" handbook one
comes across the following ad-
monition: “Remember: Cycles
are harder to see than four-wheel
vehicles. Au‘omobiles may pull
out in front of you. not realizing
your speed. Anticipated this. At
night wear reflective leg bands or
clothing." 50. don't forget your
