Vantage point

Krislov feels economic constraints
could limit University Senate authority

By .\‘.\.\'(‘Y I).\I.Y
.\ssistant Managing Editor

The concept that academic policies
should be shaped by academicians is a
classic concern of educators in institutions
of higher learning.

Preserving that concept in an age of
bulging university bureaucracies poses a
:hallenge to educators dedicated to this
principle . including educators at UK.

The University Senate and its admini
strative. arm. the Senate Council. exist to
shape the broad academic policies to be
carried out by University administrators.
its membership of over 200 persons largely
consists of faculty members elected
proportionately from various educational
units.

Dr. Joseph Krislov. economics profes~
sor. is more familiar than most with the
workings of the Senate. Krislov has served
two three-year terms in the Senate and
presently spends 10—15 hours a week in his
role as Senate (.‘ouncil chairman for 197:3.

"We have increased our control partly
by better organization.” said Krislov of the
Senate s role in setting academic policy in
recent years.

Krislov credits structural changes made
by the Senate as a factor in increasing its
visibility and activity. “Prior to the Jewell
Report~ which essentially set up a number
of Senate committees~the Senate Council
really initiated and approved most items
going on the floor of the Senate.

“Now with 12 or 13 committees the
Senate Council is more of a rules

committee which schedules material go-
ing to the Senate rather than controlling

 

and approving everything going to the
Senate." he added.

Krislov compared the l'niversity Senv
ate‘s role to that of a legislative branch
which is occasionally at odds with the
administration. He recalled administra—
tive opposition to the establishment of the
academic ombudsman‘s office several
years ago as a “dramatic example“ of this
occasional adversary relationship.

Despite administative opposition. the
Senate went ahead and created the office.
Krislov said. "in retrospect I think the
Senate was right and the administration
was wrong. The ombudsman has been a
very valuable person around the Univer—
sity."

The Senate‘s relationship with the
administration has “improved
enormously" in the past few years.

according to Krislov. “There's a good deal
of communication and discussion about
many issues in which the administration
asks for suggestions and advice. There has
been a greater willingness on the part of
the administration to listen to the faculty
and a greater recognition of the role of
faculty."

Economic difficulties and subsequent
University belt-tighteniig may threaten
the Senate‘s independence in setting
academic policy, Krislov said.

“Up to now the feeling has been if we
could come up with a pretty decent
academic program the University would
finance it.“ he said.

But potential financial constraints could
change all that. “In the years ahead that’s
going to be a very grave problem because
we can approve curriculum or develop-
ments but if there isn‘t any money, or if

there is only a modest amount of money,
the funding of programs is going to be
decided elsewhere,"

University financial problems may be
compounded, Krislov said. if the state
legislature shifts more emphasis to fund-
ing primary and secondary education. But
he added that this semester‘s surprisingly
high enrollment at most state universi‘ies
could alter the political situation.

Stabilizing the size of enrollment at UK
raises an issue discussed extensively by
the University Senate last yeatr» selective
enrollment policies.

“Up unt l now people have felt Univer—
sity enrollments are not going to change
very much," Krislov said.“if anything,
they were going to decline.

“But now it seems that if this year is a
harbinger of what‘s going to happen.
people are going to begin to think ‘How are
we going to handle this without getting
vast sums of money?‘.“

Vast sums of money simply aren‘t
available, Krsilov said. so selective en-
rollment policies may be in the offing in
some educational untis as a menas of
coping with financial cutbacks.

Blanton views
new role in
business affairs

By WALTER HIXSUN
Assistant Managing Editor

The University's new vice president tor
business affairs doesn’t see himself as a
financial ogre. “I‘m emphasizing that we
are a service unit\ not a gray death that
doles money out,” Jack C. Blanton said.

Blanton sees his responsibility as
assuring that expenditures “support the
academic and research elements of the
University.“

The 39 year-old former state budget
director is overseer of University ac-
counting, investments. construction and
personnel. Blanton, who assumed the
position Tuesday, replaces Lawrence E.
Porgy who resigned in May to join a
Louisville law firm.

Before accepting the position. Blanton
was the Tennessee Board of Regents vice
chancellor for business and finance. The
board is the coordinating body for six
Tennessee universities and 10 community
colleges. His salary is $35,000 annually, “3
little more" than at Tennessee.

A UK graduate. Blanton is in the process
of orienting himself with the University.
“I'm trying to piece together varying and
different responsibilities and evaluate the
entire organization .

“The primary concern is adjusting to the
growing demands of higher education.
You're in bad trouble if you can’t show
effeciency in business operations,"
Blanton said.

“We need ultimate efficiency to see how
inflation affects us so the kids can get the
best possible education at the lowest
possible cost."

Kentucky unenlightened
on collective bargaining

Recent reports that 100
Lexington firefighters are con-
sidering moving to Florida raises
some interesting points about the
status of collective bargaining in
Kentucky.

Talk of a mass exodus to a state
in which public employe unions
bargain collectively could just be a
publicity stunt by disgruntled
firefighters. But, ever since their
strike over union recognition a
year ago, Lexington firefighters
have received nothing but severe
reprimands. Since then no
significant gains have been made
to better the lot of public employes
in Kentucky.

The Lexington Urban County
Council has finally loosened its
anti-union stance somewhat and
set up procedures for recognizing
its employes’ unions. But a single
union has yet to be recognized by
the council despite heavy
organizing activity in the fire and
police departments.

So who could blame the
firefighters if they packed up their
hoses and took off for sunnier skies
in Florida?

Although public employes do
constitute one of the last bastions of
unorganized labor in this country,
the situation is rapidly changing.
More than half of the states have
already enacted legislation setting
up procedures for dealing with
state and local government em-

 

ployes. Needless to say, Kentucky
is among the unenlightened half.
No comprehensive collective
bargaining law exists in this state,
which accounts for much of the
confusion surrounding recent state
and local public employe demands.
Besides municipal employes,
public school teachers and a
growing number of UK employes
have expressed a desire for union
recognition. Until the state
legislature enacts a collective
bargaining bill confusion, and its
resulting chaos, will prevail.

A special legislative sub-
committee has studied collective
bargaining for public employes
this year, but the possibility of a
bill reaching the Kentucky General
Assembly when it meets in
January seems increasingly
dubious.

And Gov. Julian Carroll has
refrained from promising to
support such a bill, should one ever
be drafted. Kentuckians should
never underestimate the influence
of their governor in determining
the fate of legislation. But Carroll
should never underestimate the
influence of union labor in deter-
mining the fate of a Democratic
gubenatorial nominee.

Kentucky attitudes on collective
bargaining are changing, but still
have a long way to go before em-
ployes in the public sector are
elevated from their status as
second-class citizens.

Cuddle up
and
keep warm

Til-e official figures are not yet
available, but anyone who has survived
registration knows there are more
students on campus this year than ever
before. Unofficially, the increase over
last year may be as high as 20 per cent,
as new students enrolled in un»
precedented numbers.

University officials were prepared
for some increase in enrollments this
year, but not of such magnitude. After
all, the pundits are predicting another
year of declining enrollments nation-
wide.

This super abundance of students has
created scarcity in iust about every
commodity consumed by collegians —
including space.

The housing shortage is so acute that
the Phoenix Hotel has converted three
of its floors into an extension of the
student ghetto —which has probably
upgraded its class of clientele.

This spatial privation permeates
every move one makes on campus.
During registration, the university
resembled Riverfront Stadium on
playoff night or the in-field on Derby
Day. The capacity crowd seemed to
move in predetermined directions,
converging on the Student Center at
lunchtime like a herd of buffalo
migrating westward along primordial
paths. To turn against the flow of the
crowd was to risk death by trampling.

At other times, this fluid mass would
flow into the Patterson Office Tower
and solidify momentarily, like wax,
around the elevator shafts. Unloading
elevators threw out passengers like
punches to the body of the waiting
crowd. Claustrophobia ebbed and
surged in an emotional counterpoint,
barely orderly, barely controlled.

But if this huge influx strained the
bounds of social organization, it never

broke through them. Social conventions
were observed. The student population
constituted a crowd, at times it
resembled the primal horde, but never
did it become a mob. The students
practiced to perfection the old English
art of queuing. Students waited

 

Force-Batten

sweatily in the humid confines of

Memorial Coliseum, to choose from a
steadily diminishing roster of available
courses. it came as quite a surprise
there was no black market in lBM
cards. One almost expected some
subcultural character to sidle out from
some dark recess, tickets in hand, to

spectrum

Cmnmvnts from the University community

utter that cultural universal, ”Psst —
you wanna buy a ticket to sixteen weeks
of solid rock in Geology 151?"

Of course, by the time this
bedraggled cast of thousands has
registered, has dropped, has added, has
eaten, has paid its fees, had its picture
taken and finally crawled to the
bookstore to buy its required texts, the
racks are bare. The books have
disappeared like coffee cans in the
wake of the news that the Brazilian
crop has been wiped out by a plague of
caffeine-crazed locusts.

if the university campus creaks in its
attempt to contain the influx, the city of
Lexington positively shudders under
the strain. lts roads are clogged with
cars. Supermarkets run out of staples,
notably beer. Demographically more
middle-aged than most American

 

cities, at the beginning of the school
year Lexington is suddenly tran-
sformed into a municipality with the
age, composition and gala atmosphere
of a Club Mediterranee resort.

But don’t let all this eating, studying
and sleeping elbow to elbow, cheek by
iowl, get you down. If fuel oil and
natural gas become as scarce this
winter as school books, housing and
solitude are now, we’re going to need
each other, to cuddle up and keep
warm.

Nixon will release papers
to Senate committee

WASHINGTON (AIM-Former President Richard M. Nixon has
agreed to turn over to the Senate intelligence committee some of
his papers which outline former US. policy toward Chile as well as
plans for domestic intelligence gathering, White House counsel
Phillip Buchen said today.

The committee had subpoenaed the documents.

“The committee will be furnished those documents which relate
to the subpoenas,“ Buchen said.

The agreement on the Nixon documents was worked out Wed—
nesday among lawyers for Nixon. the White House and the Senate
committee.

Under the terms of the agreement, which still requires formal
approval by a federal court, Nixon‘s attorneys will search the files
to determine what documents and tapes relate to the Senate sub-
poenas.

('ommittee chairman Frank Church (D—ldaho). who last week
insisted that Senate investigators be allowed to determine the
relevancy of documents for themselves, called the agreement “a
good-faith effort to provide the committee the papers it needs.“

Both Buchen and lawyers for Nixon stressed that the decision
to voluntarily comply with the Senate subpoenas did not mean the
former president "Jould not resist any other congressional demands
for his files.

In an attempt to appease both the anti-Communists and the
Communists, President Francisco da Costa Comes removed
Concalves from the premiership last Friday but named him chief of
staff of the armed forces.

This enraged the anti-Communists since it offered Concalves the
opportunity to purge them and their supporters from the militlary.

Housing

Shortage may wipe out
benefits of new law

By MIKE MEUSER
Kernel Staff Writer

Lexington housing shortages
have severely hampered the
improvement 8 1974 law was
expected to have on landlord-
tenant relations, according to a
leading authority on city housing.

Alberta Coleman, program
coordinator for Tenant Services
and Organization Assistance, re-
ferred to the Landlord Tenant Act
passed by the 1974 General
Assembly. The law. which ap—
plies to all leases signed in
Jefferson or Fayette counties
after Aug. 1, 1974, provides for
contract stipulations in rental
agreements.

“The law is a first step,"
Coleman said, “but the only way
it will work is with a reasonable
landlord and a reasonable tenant.
It must be a truly cooperative
effort."

But in spite of the law there are
still problems, Coleman said. The
housing shortage has forced
many tenants to accept unsuit-
able conditions since alternative

housing is difficult or impossible
to find. she added.

Under the provisions of the act.
landlords must supply tenants
with a list of damages before the
tenant moves in and after he
moves out.

Before the landlord can make
charges against a security depo-
sit, he must first supply the
tenant with a statement of costs
for any repairs for damages
incurred during occupancy. Ten-
ants sign the statement if they
agree with the damages.

Coleman said tenants are also
less likely to challenge landlords
because in the event of a stale-

mate, the only recourse is

through the courts. And many
tenants cannot afford to hire an
attorney, she said.

Problems are compounded for
UK students with little experi-
ence in contracting for housing,
Coleman said. She said the
University should do something
to help students.

Community groups
salute women‘s year

By (‘lAl'DlA
llOLLINGSWORTll
Kernel Staff Writer

Several University
organizations will participate in a
celebration of International
Women ‘5 Year (IWY) sponsored
by the Lexington-Fayette County
lWY committee.

The United Nations designated
1975 as international Women’s
Year to advance the status of
women. to promote equality
between men and women and to
encourage women to participate
in regional and international
politics.

(‘ommunity and University
organizations formed the local
[WY committee, established in
January.

Pam Elam, committee
chairwoman. says the group’s
major goal is informing people of
women‘s needs and concerns
such as employment, child care
and medical services. The
committee helps women get
involved with groups specializing
in women's concerns, Elam said.

“There are all kinds of groups
working to make life more

humanistic for women. like the
Rape Crisis Center.“ This group
provides emotional and legal aid
to rape victims, she said.

Severalwomen's groups will be
involved in the [WY celebration
from Oct. 18 to Oct. 25. The ac—
tivities include:

Saturday. Oct. 18 , A Kentucky
Conference in Wanen's Studies
planned by the University's
Women’s Studies Committee.

Sunday, Oct. 19 The Patterson
Schod of Diplomacy and the League
of Women Voters Internatlonal
Relations Committee will present
Prof. Elise Boulding from the
l'niverslty of Colorado to discuss
International Women's Year and the
status of women around the world.

Monday. Oct. 20 ~ The American
Association of University Women
will sponsor a program featurlng
international studens discussing the
status of women in their respective
countries.

Wednesday Oct. 22 ,_ The YWCA
will hold a forum on issues of con
cern to women.

Saturday. Oct. 25 ~ The Unlva'slty
is Women’s Law Ca unis and the UK
('ollege of Law will present a con
ference on Women and Law.

Other activities include a
women‘s film festival. an em-
ployment seminar and a women
and politics workshop.

All activities are funded by
contributions and donations.

Landlord-tenant relations
strained by shortages

(‘ontinued from page 6

Although the housing shortage
has caused difficulties in most
aspects of rental agreements,
Coleman said, some positive
results may be seen in the quality
of housing.

“There are some things needed
for the protection of students."
(‘oleman said. “it seems to me
that students should be able to
submit their leases to the housing
office or some other agency for
review. At the present time. the
best way to check a lease is to let
a lawyer review it."

“One good thing that could
come out of this shortage would
be a realization by both tenants
and landlords that there is a real
need for upkeep of housing. It is a
valuable commodity, too valu-
able to waste.“ she said.

Student Government (SG) has
attempted to help student tenants
with a booklet published jointly
by Tenant Services and SC. The
booklet outlines tenant and land-
lord rights and responsibilities
under the new law and is avail-
able at the SG office.
