State sunshine law applies
to Board of Trustees meeting

by LIN DA (‘ARNI‘IS
I‘Iditor-in-chief

Today's Board of Trustees meeting Wlll be the first
held since Kentucky's open meetings law went into
effect. Albert G. (‘lay. Board chairman. said the law
will not change the Board's procedures

“The Board has never taken any action in the
committee meetings or luncheon meeting. so I don't
think the law will have a different effect on the way the
Board conducts its business,“ (‘lay said

THE STATl'TI‘I. called the Sunshine Law. went
into effect June ‘21 Assistant Attorney General (‘arl
Miller said the law will reqmre that all meetings of the
Board of Trustees. its committees and subcommittees
be open to the public when the subject matter lS public
business.

The meeting will be held at 2 pm. today in the board
room of Patterson Office Tower.

Most of the items on today‘s agenda Wlll be routine
other than the election of Board officers.

CLAY SAID he would not be a candidate for
reelection as Board (‘hairman because he wants to
give another member the opportunity to serve in that
capacny.

Other business of the meeting will include swearing
in two new board members and consideration of
amendments to change the University's Governing
Regulations.

Dr. Michael E. Adelstein. English professor. and
Thomas B Kessinger. vice president for .l J. B
Hillard-W. L. Lyons. Inc. will replace Trustees whose
terms expired June 30. The new members of the
University‘s ultimate governing body will serve until
June 30. 1978.

ADELSTICIN. ONE of two faculty Trustees. was
formerly director of freshman English. In l973 he was
chairman of the University Senate.

Adelstein is a New York City native and received a
B. S. degree from the University of Pennsylvania in
1943. and M. A. and Ph. D. degrees from the L'niversity

is also a member of the board of trustees at Sayre
School.

The Board Wlll also consider an amendment to the
['niversity Governing Regulations The proposed
amendment provides the faculty of a college with an
option to establish an assembly for students to
formally participate in the development of educational
policies of that college.

The Governing Regulations now state that rules of
procedure in educational units of the University shall
provide for participation of students in the
development of educational policies. but the rule does
not specify how students can participate.

Till-3 AMENDMENT will be presented to the Board
today and will be voted on at its next regular meeting.

David Mucci. Student Government president. said.
"I think the amendment is good and will benefit
students. Students should be involved in policy
decisions in their colleges and this gives them the
opportunity,"

Another amendment to be presented would change
the l'niversity‘s retirement policy. If passed. the
amendment would permit former Univcgsity employes
who have reached retirement age to continue working
part-time. in limited circumstances.

Other Board business includes voting on revisions for
197475 and committee appointments. The Board is also
expected to review the University's summary audit
report.

University discounts high personnel turnover rate

By LYN HACKER
Kernel Staff Writer
Despite a high labor turnover rate.
University ‘personnel officials said the
working conditions hereare equal to. if not
better than other local employers.
Bruce Miller. University personnel
director. said the turnover rate is high
because many positions are filled by
student‘s spouses who leave when their
husbands or wives finish school. “It's not
solely on a wage basis that they leave.“ he
said. “but for a variety of reasons."

MILLER SAID secretaries also leave
because they are younger people who for
one reason or another leave town. get
man'ied or get better jobs.

Secretaries questioned on campus
criticized the University for having poor
advancement poss’bilities. low wages.
poor working conditions and pay raises
based on the job. instead of the person.

One secretary said she doesn't think it is
fair that she gets the salary she does for
the amount of work she performs. She said
her department has had trouble keeping
sectetaries because of the low pay and
heavy responsibilities.

(‘LINT WORSTMAN. senior secretary
for the department of Physiology and

Biophysics said that once hired. it is
almost impossible to get other than a cost
of living ra Se and that working conditions
at the Medical Center are generally not
good. Ile said considerations for pay raises
are based on the job‘s importance and not
the secretary's ability.

"A big tumover implies bad working
conditions,"he said. although he thinks his
workingconditions are “wonderful". “Our
department is better than most others in
the Med Center.“ he said.

Funds available for pay raises to UK
employees are controlled by the state
legislature.

MlLLI-ZH SAID a five and one-half per
cent increase was allocated for the fiscal
yearending June 30. 1975.0f that increase,
four per cent went for raises connected
with job reclassification and the
remaining one and one-half per cent went
for merit raises.

Walter Gattis. amociate director of
perso ..iel in charge of the Med Center.
said there is a high turnover rate in the
food service and housekeeping
departments because shift work makes it
inconvenient

Hesaid 80 per cent of his work force was
relatively “stable" though.

Miller said advancement possibilities
are good here. "Many jobs are held open
for a week and employees given

preference according to Board of Trustee
Rules." he said. However. he said. job
advancement within the individual
departments is dependent upon the
different job levels provided by the
department,

Patterson Literary Society
sues to change founder's will

The Patterson Literary Society has filed
suit to eliminate discrimination in a trust
fund established by the organization‘s
founder.

Jerry Skees. president of the University
reading group. filed the suit in Fayette
Circuit Court Monday. The suit seeks to
change the interpretation of the will of
James K. Patterson. first president of the
University. according to Dr. Kristin
Valentine. the society‘s faculty advisor.

VALENTINE SAID the will bequeaths
money for two $200 scholarships to the
"assistance of a young man. an active
member of the society in good standing.
and within the communion of a recognized
Evangelical church."

“The former faculty advisor. J, Reid
Sterrit. requested a lawyer‘s opinion on

the interpretation of the will. The lawyer
advised him that the will meant to exclude
members of some religious groups and
females.“ Valentine said.

When the society was revitalized in 1973
with Valentine as advisor. women were
admitted to the group and the constitution
was amended to include females. she said.

Till-I Sl'l'r. filed on behalf of the group
by UK law professor Alvin Goldman. asks
the court to:

-. Declare that the language be
descriptiveofpersons in the past and not a
limitation on the class of beneficiaries.
and that the language yield to include all
classes of people. or:

. That the court use its powers to
elimin ate the sex and religious limitations
from the terms of Patterson's will.

A&S reorganization
needs student input

There is a rule of thumb that is
taught and venerated by all
government bureaucrats and univer-
sity administrators. It can be simply
stated: When in doubt. reorganize.

The current doubt at this University
is centered in the College of Arts and
Sciences. They have proposed a
reorganization plan which would
sever the schools of communication.
and music. and the departments of
art and theatre arts from A&S.
realigning them into three separate
colleges.

The main reasons for reorganizing
A&S. the proposal states. are:

—-These departments and schools
are more oriented towards profes-
sional training than other A&S
departments. As the proposal says.
they have a more specialized
educational mission.

—Realignment would give these
departments and schools “greater
visibility." It would make them a
large part of a small college rather
than a small part of a large college.

—It would better enable the
University to assess “the future
claims to priority made by the total
unit.“

The initial response from faculty
members in the schools and

Letters to the editor

departments affected by the proposal
has been mostly favorable. Only the
department of art has disagreed with
the basic aims of the proposal —by
voting unanimously to reject any
move to remove the department from
the College of Arts and Sciences. The
other schools and departments named
in the proposal agreed with the
realignment. though some had
reservations about particular details
of the plan.

The chief merit of the proposal is its
emphasis on strengthening these
schools and departments by such a
reorganization. It may well increase
the stature of these departments and
encourage a feeling of cohesiveness
among the related disciplines.

It is disturbing. however, that
nowhere in the proposal or in the
responses by faculty members are the
needs or wishes of students repre—
sented. other than indirectly. Yet
students are the ones who stand to
gain or lose if the proposa is
implemented.

We urge students. particularly
those in art. theatre arts. music and
communications. to discuss the
proposal with faculty members in
their departments. They should find
out how it will affect them before it is
too late to have any voice in what

happens.

Movie violence isn't healthy for Americans

I am no movie critic; no expert
on morals or public opinion of
right or wrong; no busybody
involved in other people's affairs.
But, there are times, when I must
speak out for some issues I
believe in.

The other night. I had the
unforgettable experience of
viewing the x-rated movie.
Frankenstein, hoping to see a few
“dirty bed scenes". but came
away very disappointed and
letdown because all I paid to see
was blood and guts. more blood
and guts. and guts and guts and

. (A very funny movie, by the
way. I'm not knocking it at all.)

But I came away from the
theatre with a very bad feeling.
Just where are we headed. when
we are allowed. even encour-
aged, to see purely violent.
savage movies. such as Franken-
stein or The Exorcist. when. at
the same time. movies such as
The Erotic Film Festival or Last
”Tango in Paris are considered
filthy and vulgar because they
show normal human beings
expressing themselves in a
natural, beautiful way.

I pity our next generation. who
no longer know what good
“cartoons“ are. Nowadays. the
programs on TV for children are
merely animated versions of
Police Story or Perry Mason
When they get older. they will not
be asking. “Where did i come
from'.’". but rather. “What would

be the easiest way to knock off
my old man?"

I‘m not saying sexual expres-
sions should be placed in every
movie or that violence should be
removed from public view. My
only feelings are that our country
is moving in the wrong direction
when sexual x-rated films are
immediately confiscated and
violent ones are left for all to see.
We are losing touch with life itself
if we allow this to happen as it
is it could only be so in
America.

Parking

It has been brought to my
attention that a problem has
developed concerning the space
allotted for motorcycle parking
on campus. The problem of
limited motorcycle parking has
been muplited by the so called
gas shortage. Many students
have purchased these two wheel
vehicles for transportation to and
from classes only to find that
parking space is not available

It has become a recent policy to
issue parking tickets to those
cycle riders who have been
parking on the grass or
sidewalks This parking problem

could be eliminated by making a
few more automobile parking
spaces available to motorcycles.
since five or six motorcycles can
be parked in a standard
automobile parking space. Any
improvement in this area would
be greatly appreciated by the
motorcycle riders on this cam-
pus.

Basic iustice

A few days ago. I read that
crime is increasing in this
country again and that we are
nearly to the point of being
overwhelmed by it. Isn‘t it
interesting that at the same time
of this increase we also have a
former President who is evading
criminal prosecution and may in
fact never be prosecuted. This
must be morally supporting to
many of this country‘s law-
breakers.

It is now time for Congress and
the courts to give a good example
to the country and to the world by
showing that not only are
criminals of the lowest social
positions prosecuted but even
those who occupy the highest
positions are also prosecuted.

I am writing in regard to the

The title of the article stating

me in the fact that I myself am

Some people may consider
it (ES as a cop—out on the
University‘s set requirements for

who wish to learn practical and

Corporate profits: the truth

Ity I'llll. SIIEWMAKER

Due to the many and varied misconceptions
floating around America about our economy,
I have decided to attempt to clear the air a bit
on one very large, very important, and
mis-understood segment of our economy,
namely, corporate profits.

The vast majority of the American public
has no conception about the truth
surrounding corporate profits in America. As
a starter. the term profit must be qualified.
Just what is profit? Profit, for one thing, is not
a euphanism for a dirty disgusting item.
Profit is not a four-letter word. Is it
considered wrong for a person to invest their
money (or their time in the hopes that he or
she will come out ahead? There seems to be
very few people who will tie up their own
hardcarned money in a venture and not get
any reward for it. running around in this
world.

THERE ARE a few other things that need
to be remembered when profits are spoken
of:

We should never discuss profits in mere
terms of the dollar amounts involved. To say
a company made a million dollars in profit
means nothing unless we know the volume of
goods and services in sales. a profit of one
million would be a mere return of one per
cent This is one cent on every dollar of sales

.i \t'l‘_\ poor showing for most companies.

We should always talk about “profits after
taxes." A company can‘t use the tax money it
pays out any more than you can use the
money withheld from your paycheck, so
there's really no such thing as "profits before
taxes." particularly when the government
has tax schedules up to 48 per cent.

Our economy is a profit and loss system.
This year. about 15,000 companies will go out
of business. (in top of that. many companies.
including some of the largest in the country.
will lose money after paying all of their
operating costs and taxes not related to
profits. If you want proof of big companies
losing money. just ask Penn Central!

PROFITS ARE a very small percentage of
our national income. Last year, profits were
about six per cent of the national income.
Wages and salaries were roughly 73 per cent
of national income. All other income was 21
per cent. this including farm. professional,
rentals. and other small businesses.

Profits also. contrary to popular opinion.
are diversified in their distribution. Unless
your name is Howard Hughes. you are very
unlikely to own a large piece of a corporation.
In 1971. about 31.9 million persons owned
stock in U. S. corporations. So when you talk

about profits, you are not talking about a FAT
CAT business machine, you are talking of

millions of people, and portions of their
incomes.

One basic big lie that has been going around
for years about business and profits is the
question of the size of profits. For the last 25
years, the Opinion Research Corporation of
Princeton has taken polls on the question:
“Just as a rough guess, what per cent profit
on each dollar of sales do you think the
average manufacturer makes?" For the past
25 years, the guesses have been getting more
and more off the target. I have available

figures for four out of several of the last few
years.

IN I965. the average guess of the persons
polled was that profits on sales were 21 per
cent. The actual industry-wide figure was 5.6
per cent. In 1967 peopled guessed 23 per cent,
actually it was 5 per cent. In 1969 it was
estimated 27 per cent against 4.8 per cent
actual. and in 1971, it was 28 per cent versus 4
per cent.

The gap between the truth and what we
believe to be the truth can be explained only
by the mass acceptance of false information.
Obviously. whoever has been spreading this
misinformation about our American business
system has done a great propaganda
job...and is doing better all the time!

One interesting observation is as inflation
has risen over the years,profits have fallen as
public opinion has worsened. Profits have
fallen. showing that the inflation crunch hurts
business. as well as the consumer.

Why are profits important? Profit is the
incentive to go into business in the first place.
From business. consumers get goods and
services they need or desire. Business
provides jobs. Every business needs
employees. Without profits, you have no
business. the consumers have no goods, and
there are no employees. who are also
consumers. Without profit to business, the
United States economy would collapse.

OUR FREE Enterprise-American Business
system has served us well. It has been the tool
by which Americans have economic security,
a large amount of consumer goods and
services, a very large amount of individual
freedom. and a standard of living unparalled
by any other country in the world. Our
economic system depends upon business and
profits. Let’s not forget that.

Utility companies are losing

the rise in

 

NEW YORK — Seldom do the
nation's power utilities elict
much sympathy from the public.
Aren‘t they the money-hungry
monsters you feel are always
raising rates? Aren‘t they the
polluters of air and water?

Experience indicates that the
utilities never have been able to
deal effectively with those
criticisms, one of the reasons
being that the public isn‘t
inclined to be patient with big.
profitable, comfortable corpora-
tions.

'I‘IHISI‘I ATTRIBUTES, how-
ever. once endeared the utilities

  

they were profitable. and they
had an assured market, and they
paid regular dividends. That
made them prime investments.
But now. to their distress, the
utilities are losing their financial
friends. And, with almost no-
where to turn. they may seek to
make friends with the federal
government in Washington.

The difficulties have more than
one origin. Some critics blame
the ecologists who delayed plant
construction. ()thers criticize the
regulators. Some point to com-
placent management. The rise in
the cost of oil is part of the

borrowing costs.

WHEN ALI. these factors were
either nonexistant or considera-
bly smaller. shares of utilities
were among the bluest of the blue
chips. They were the finest
offerings in the financial com.
munity. They attracted big
investors.

Institutions such as mutual and
pension funds liked them. So did
the big bank trusts and the
insurance companies and the
widows and pensioners, who
could be assured of dividends.
l‘nmterrupted dividends was the
trademark of utilities.

Ford says pardon right

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Ford said Monday night that
Richard M. Nixon's acceptance of a presidential pardon can be
construed as an admission of Watergate guilt. then added “I am
absolutely convinced" that the decision to spare the former
President was the right one.

Ford acknowledged that the pardon decision “has created more
antagonism than lanticipated." but repeatedly defended his action
as a step to heal the lingering wounds of Watergate.

He said Nixon “has been shamed and disgraced“ by the fact that
the Watergate scandals forced him to resign the White House.

Ford said again and again that he acted to end the divisions and
wounds of Watergate. H said there was no secret reason for his
