SGA senators’ amendment rejected by senate

Hy BRAD COOPER
Assistant News Editor

The University Senate yesterday
voted down an amendment to the
Unneisity Senate Rules because
some instructors thought they would
be stripped of their right to require
students to attend class.

"I am sick and tired of everybody
infringing on the prerogative of the
instructor to run his class the way
he sees fit," said senate member
Hans Gesund.

Gesund was referring to the
amendment proposed by Student
Government Association Senators
Cyndi Weaver and John Menkhaus
that sought to stop instructors from
using class attendance as an “unfair
grading factor “

If the amendment had been ap-
proved, it would have been attached
to a policy on excused absences
That policy, which was passed by
the senate yesterday despite several
objections, will allow students to
withdraw from a class if they miss

more than 20 percent of their classes
with excused absences.

The amendment to the policy,
which was changed by Weaver and
Menkhaus during the weekend, said
specifically that instructors could
not enforce an attendance policy
that penalized students for missing
class.

It did say, however, that instruc-
tors could still determine their own
policy regarding students' partici-
pation in class activities, which

Menkhaus said was designed not to
curtail instructors‘ rights.

“This is not a proposal to remove
rights of the faculty," Menkhaus
said, "but it's a proposal on behalf
of the students to increase class-
room participation."

Weaver told the nearly 80 senators
in attendance that the participation
clause would restore learning to
classrooms where instructors lec-
ture from the same text they assign
students to read.

“(Required attendance) works as

In (‘l’lat‘lt‘S Ellinger. professor of
dentistry at (K. recently filed for
reelection to the l'rban County Gov—
ernment ‘s 10th District seat.

He was elected to his first two-
y'car term in November 1985

Ellinger said he was going to
stress some of the same topics he
did in his first term

According to a press release, El-
linger is going to address the indi»

and make sure they are well in
formed of the happenings of the gov-
crnmciit

"The primary thing that I em-

phasize is to serve my fellow constit-
uents in the 10th district," he said.

Ellinger said one of his main rea-
sons for seeking another term is to
help his constituents.

“There's a lot of things you can do
for the individual." he said.

“I place a high priority in that
every indiyidual is taken care of as
best aslcan."

He plans to keep his constituents
notified by newsletters, town meet
ings and strong neighborhood asso-
ciations.

Ellinger is one of 15 members on
the council, which is made up of 12
district and three at-large members.

Burning of banner
prompts discussions
of values at U of L

Gay rights sign instigates argument
on campus among students, university

LOUISVILLE (AP) _ The burn-
ing of a gay rights banner at the
University of Louisville is forcing
the schools students and faculty to
discuss prejudice and tolerance.

The question is ”what can we do
to uphold values that are basic to
human beings getting along with one
another,“ said Dale Adams, a unlr
versity official who deals with stu-
dents.

“The thing I’m concerned about is
that we had a group of people . .
(who) couldn‘t encounter these «gay
students) without violence." he said.

Adams has pulled together a
group of other administrators. as
well counselors and clergy who are
“disturbed at the lack of values in
young pe0ple."

Last fall, the university's Gay and
Lesbian Student Union asked the
school's 20,500 students to wear blue
jeans Nov. 19 to show support for
gay rights.

Some students complained the
symbol of solidarity was deliberate-
ly provocative, intended to snare the
unwitting. But the group said they
chose an article of clothing many
students wear all the time to make
their point about prejudice,

“The point of the day, in a dram-
tic and creative way, was to bring
the issue of homosexuality into the
life of the campus for at least a
day," said Alan Shier, 21, a leader
of the gay union.

“Feeling uncomfortable is what
gays and lesbians feel when they are
identified as gays and lesbians." he
said. They feel “the discomfort and
stigma . . .every day of their lives."

The gay students had stretched a
banner across the second-floor bal-
cony of the humanities building
thanking students for wearing blue
jeans in support of gay rights.

With 20 to 30 onlookers yelling en
couragement. two male students
managed to boost another to withii
reach of the banner, That student ig
nited the spary from an aer0501 can
which lit the banner.

“I just couldn't believe how cruel
they were about it." said Angela
McCormick. student body president.

rights demonstrations wore arm

Katfish lose to Purdue
despite impressive start

By JIM WHITE
Staff Writer

The UK men‘s swim team jumped
out to a quick lead against Purdue
Saturday. only to be outdistanced by
the Boilermakers, 114-101.

But UK coach Wynn Paul was
pleased with the his team‘s perfor-
mane-e.

Despite the loss, which dropped
UK's men to 5-3 on the season. the
Katfish put together one of their
most solid meets so far this year,
setting two dual meet records on the
da .

P‘IWhen you go in and swim like
mad it feels good no matter if you
win or lose," Paul said. “We really
went after this one and it was just
good, clean competition.“

Freshmen Ken Atkinson, Thomas
Kock. Ed Weckwert and sophomore
Chris Budvitis helped Kentucky
grab an early lead over Purdue by
capturing the meet’s first event, the
400-meter medley relay.

The relay time of 3:30.75 set a
dual meet record for the Katfish.

Weckwert then went on to set the
men‘s other record of the day with a

second-place finish in the mo-meter
individual medley with a time of
1:55.96.

The Boilermakers then returned
the favor by dominating the 200- and
50-meter freestyle events. Purdue
placed swimmers in the top two po-
sitions in each race.

“We really got hurt in those two
events," Paul said. “We were about
one person short of winning the
meet.

"If we would have had a strong
performance in those events we
would have definitely won it.“

But in this case winning wasn’t ev-
erything, said UK senior N.K. Mar-
tin.

“We were more concerned with
our own times and how much we
were improving," he said. “(Pur~
due) is a good team and we knew it
would probably go down to the last
relay.“

UK's women had a similar experi-
ence with the Boilermakers.

Despite losing the meet, 126-91, the
women's team set records for UK in
two events.

Hostage sends letter for help

By RUIN-IIINA KENAAN
.-\.sSU('I'dI9\l Press

BrZIRl‘l‘. Lebanon 7* Moslem kid-
nappers said that last night's mid-
night deadline for killing three
.-\iiierican hostages and an Indian
had been extended "until further n0-
tice "

A handwritten statement in Arabic
signed by Islamic Jihad for the Lib-
eration of Palestine described the
decision as a response to pleas from
the hostages. their families Leb-
anese organizations and the Indian
government

But the statement also said the
group would retaliate for the “in-
suit" by [’8 Secretary of State
tieorge I’ Shultz. who said the peo-
ple oi kidnapping-beset Beirut "have
.i plague ” It did not indicate what
form tne action might take, or
whether it could involve the hos-
tages

The statement was delivered to

the Beirut offieeofa Weeternnews
agency with a picture of Robert Pol-
hill, one of the hostages. Polhill,
frail-appearing and bearded, wear-
ing a T-shirt and spectacles, was
pictured Iookirg into the camera
with a faint smile.

Hostage Alann Steen had said in
an earlier message yesterday that
the hostages would die unless Israel
freed 400 Arab prisoners. He said
the captors would not reconsider the
death verdict or extend the deadline.

“We will be executed at midniyit“
Steen. 47, of Boston, said in the let-
ter to his wife. It was accompanied
by notes to their wives from the two
other kidnapped American college
teachers.

“Until then if you do love us and
your hearts beat for us, put pressure
on Israel to show good will. Let Is-
rael promise the organization (of the
kidnapperst to show good will."
Steen wrote.

“Let Israel promise the organiza—

tion plainly am officially that 00
Palestinian mujaheds (holy war-
riors) will be free. Otherwise, we
won't be alive after midnight."

The statement at midnight said
the kid appers found “certain posi-
tive points" in remarks by Foreign
Minister Shimon Peres of Israel
about their demand for the release
of Arab prisoners.

“We want the fastest clarifications
on this subject," it said, without
elaborating.

Peres said yesterday in Jerusalem
that Israel had not received a re-
quest from the United States to free
the prisoners. and that “Israel won’t
take any initiative on its own. "

He declared on Sunday, however,
that Israel was willing to discuss
trading Arab prisoners for an Israeli
airman shot down in Lebanon.

The kidnappers’ midnight
statement also said its retaliation
for Shultz' comment about Beirut

Shultz said in New York Sunday
that the “people of Beirut . . . have
a plague there and they're isolating
themselves from the world and the
world should isolate them."

Steen's three-page letter was de—
livered til-2 hours before the kidnap-
pers' deadline to the Beirut office of
a Western news agency with a pho-
tograph of Steen.

It implied that an Israeli promise

would not actually have to be re-

"I am not one of those people
who dreamed from childhood of
becoming governor," Wilkinison
said in the article. ”In fact, in
my early and middle years I said
I'd never be involved in politics."

But, he said, he has an interest
in politics because of what he

In the area of economics, Wil

concentrate on the small and me

As far as education goes. he
added. “a great emphasis must
be placed on reforming oiir edu

Wilkinson said in the article
that he believes he can bring
“basic business discipline back to
government . "

In Washington, the Reagan admin-
istration position, as expressed Mon-
day by both White House spokesman
Marlin P‘itzwater and State Depart-
ment spokesman Charles E. Red-
man, was once again to rule out con-
cessions to terrorists. Both men said
Washington has not approached Is-
rael on the kidnappers' demand.
