For UK professors, tenure a mixed reward

Leave difi‘icnlt to obtain

System, while prestigious,
harbors discrimination

By Mat Huron
Féatures Editor

For faculty, a tenured position
is the ultimate at a university.

Academic freedom, protection
of civil liberties, reward for
demonstrating high quality
research and teaching — these ut
the professor in a superior eche on
of scholars.

“People don’t understand why
it’s such a revered characteristic of
academic life,” said Pat C00 1',
director of UK women’s stu ies,
who was tenured in Drexel Uni-
versity’s history and politics
department. “Not everyone sto s
to realize how much energy can
drained from us."

Back in the 19505, Cooper said,
during the Joe McCarthy era and
the Red Scare, both tenured and
non-tenured faculty lost their jobs
if their beliefs strayed from the
anti-Communist sentiment held
by many Americans. Civil liberties
fell by the wa ide, and being an
academic pro essional was easier
dreamt of than achieved.

Eric Christianson, associate
professor and director of graduate
studies in the history department,
said when he received tenure in
1981, one of the larger perks was
“peace of mind.”

join the graduate faculty and to
direct master’s theses and doctoral
dissertations, in addition to giving
him a slight salary boost of
$1,000.

Faculty in the de artment have
relatively good fiirtune when
interviewin for tenure, Chris-
tianson sai . “I don’t think any-
body's been denied (in the history
department) for a long time.”

Once a rofessor’s time comes,
the candi ate's dossier changes
several hands.

Other faculty members in the
candidate's department give their
input before sending their recom-
mendation to the dean. The dean
sends his or her recommendation
to the vice chancellor for academ-
ic affairs, who passes it on to an
advisory committee.

If approved, chancellor assis—
tant Laurie West said, the candi-
date receives a letter of notifica—
tion from the dean. If denied, the
candidate is given 60 days to
respond the decision, either in the
form of an a peal or acceptance.

“What they submit is up to
them,” West said of the appeals.
“Whatever they think supports
their case.”

The candidate can appeal to
the level that denied him and/or
to the next highest level. The Sen-

before achieving this prestigious
rank. Between the pressures of
publishing stellar research, main-
taining a class load and advising
students, the “tenure clock” can
wreak havoc on personal lives and

or untenarea’faealty

By Chris Campbell
Assistant Editorial Edimr

Not getting tenure because ofa
lack of qualifications is one thing.
Being denied due to your personal
relationship with your supervisor
is uite another.

this is a problem that many
women — and men — are facin
when having to deal with the birtfi
of a child.

“On a very person-to—person
basis, getting time off is so depen-
dent on the relationship you have
with your supervisor,” said Beth
Goldstein, a professor in educa-
tional policy.

“For some people, that could
be a very threatening situation for
untenured faculty."

Goldstein’s experience set a
precedent when it occurred, for
when she was pregnant in 1989,
no policy existed at UK for mater-
nity leave.

“They (deans and administra—
tors) told me they couldn’t
remember the last time a faculty
member had to go through this
process during the school year,”
she said.

Goldstein was not shy to com-
ment on the unsatisfactory way
the process was handled. She was
“not pleased" by the response and

assistance given by the affinnative
action office at UK when tryin v to
seek help on acquiring time of.

“They (at the affirmative action
office) care more about the insti-
tution (ofUK) than the individu-
al," she said.

The process is one that has
drawn uestions from different
areas. T e specifics of each case
are different, and each must be
considered on an individual basis.
For Goldstein, the main concern
was with her tenure clock —— hav—
in it stopped while she took time
o to care for her child after birth
was of great concern.

Goldstein said she has talked
with many women who are not
willing to ask for time off for their
pregnancies, fearing the repercus-
sions of doing so.

The worry for many is that the
supervisors will take a negative
view toward them when deciding
whether to allow the 12 weeks of
maternity leave, or later on, when
the tenure decision comes up.

“There are many ways to get a
certain point across to someone
on the tenure board if they wanted
to,” Goldstein said. “Those letters
are always very subjective and
have that element about them.”

New RHA chief
ready tor joli

By Chip Brlght
Staff Writer

Each residence hall chose uncontested candidate
Jason Cook to lead the Residence Hall Association
during the association’s 1997-98 officer elections
last week.

Cook, the current RHA vice president, has
already kicked his planning for next year into gear.

“I have so many directions I would like to see
RHA expand,” Cook said.

“What we have already is great, but I want to see
the organization keep pushing.”

The campus organization is res nsible for activ-
ity programming in the residence alls.

RHA sponsors events year-round concerning all
facets of campus life, from the Hit the Halls softball
tournament to Li’l Sibs, a slumber party within the
residence halls for students’ younger brothers and
Sisters.

“You couldn’t ask for more fun than a bunch of
kids running through the halls,” Cook said.

The 22-year-old senior said he never got
involved with campus activities his freshman year
before he was talked into running for vice president
of his building.

Then, he said, “I got a chance to see how much
fun campus life could be.”

An English major and history minor, Cook has a
long history within RHA.

After his term as building vice president, he
served as president of Blanding I before gaining his
current position as vice president.

“I’ve been here for four years and served under
some great people,” Cook said.

“I know a lot about what channels to use and the
red tape around them.”

Current president Amy Schreffler said she thinls
Cook is the best man for the job.

“I think he has learned a lot durin his stint as
vice president, and I have faith he wil continue to
work for more diversity,” Schreffler said.

“People tell you how the job will be, but Jason
will never know for sure until he has done it. “

Cook acknowledged that Schreffler and the rest
of the executive board have taught him a lot about
the position.

“The number one thin I learned from Amy is to
carry an appointment boo ” Cook said.

Schreffler, a history senior, recommends plenty
of communication within the entire chapter. She
also advocates learning from mistakes.

“If something oes wron , it’s your name, but
expand on the ," Schre er said.

Cook hopes to keep membership on the rise. The
RHA has close to 75 active members, but Cook said
everyone who lives on campus is a member.

“The only criteria is to live in one of the resi-
dence halls and just want to enjoy student life at
UK,” Cook said.

Board SGIBBIS IIBW KBI‘IIBI editors

By Brian Dunn
Sufi" Writer

The Kernel Board of Directors
chose Jennifer Smith last night to
be editor in chief
of next fall’s Ken-
tuc Kernel.

he board met
for about six hours
interviewing and
deliberating over
three candidates

for the job. __
Along with Smith
Smith, Aaron

Sanderford, a political science and
Rumalism sophomore, and James
ttihis, a jp‘pmalism junior,

board "
Sanderford to be
editor-in-chief for
the Kernel over
the eight-week
summer session.
“Jen brings a
tremendous
amount of '-
ence and abi 'ty,”
said Jay Blanton, vice president of
the board.

 

  

“She has a professional ability
beyond her years. And that ability
should be an invaluable asset for
the Kernel.”

Smith, a journalism sopho—
more, said she was “kind of dumb—
founded” when she learned she
got the job.

“I’m kind of scared, but I’m
kind of excited,” she said.

“I want to put out a paper that
every student will want to ick up
when they walk into the (€Vhite-
halé) Classroom Building,” she
sat .

Smith plans to work harder to
rid the Kernel of errors, to estab-
lish a Kernel stylebook, to publish
more in-depth feature stories and
to bring more local angles to
national stories.

She also wants to work with
campus organizations and bring
the different departments of the
Kernel closer together.

“If everyone works together,
then we can have a really great
team,” she said.

Sanderford, who had been
working on his candidacy since
February, said, “It’s been a long,
long road. But it’s more relief now

than an ‘n .”

Becalidseilthge summer’s Kernel is
a weekl publication, more time is
availab e to work on writer devel-
opment, he said.

Also, the board decided to
decrease the editor’s term to one
semester from two because of the
“grind of being editor for a full
year,” Blanton said. _ -

The board is scheduled to

“There is probably not a
tougher job on this campus than
being editor of the Kernel,” Blan-
ton said.

Mike Agin, student media advi-
sor and member of the board, said
the board got the idea to try
semester terms from Western
Kentucky University.

“We’ve been concerned that a
year’s worth of editor might over-
whelm people,” he said, “but we
don't know if this is what will be
the best for the student and the
Kentucky Kernel.”

Prolessors say
86A study tiles 0K

By James thchlo
Senior Staff Writer

Professors agree about the study file that Stu-
dent Government Association will introduce next
semester: They hope students won’t misuse it.

SGA passed a bill last week to create a campus
wide study file, which will consist of old tests,
worksheets and handouts — contributed to SGA
by students and faculty — that students can use for
free.

“I have always believed that there is no substi—
tute for going to class, hearing the presentation
and writing your own notes," c emistry professor
Mark Meier said. “The file may help some students
somewhat, but not a lot.”

Still, Meier said he does not object to SGA’s
keeping his tests on file; he already makes all of his

exams available through

 

Kennedy Bookstore and
the World Wide Web.
Sociolo professor
William S ’nner said the
idea of students having

access to his old class “1?” always
materials doesn’t bother believed tbere
him either, since hfil exams i5 no why-titan
are probably on e any- 7. 01"! t0
way. Greek organizations fa c g
often keep their own test '
files. V

But he doesn’t believe Mart MBlBr
this type of studging helps Chemistry pro-
the student muc . fag-0r

“When it comes to test
time, I think learning the
material will prepare you
better than memorization,” Skinner said.

For anthropology professor Mary Anglin, “the
critical question is whether the file becomes a sup-
plement to learning or a substitute.”

The best way to ensure the uality of the study
materials in the file, Anglin sai , would be to have
them authorized b the professors teaching the
classes before incfi'iding them. Otherwise, the
information might be outdated or incorrect.How-
ever, the materials in the study file will not be
authorized.

If rofessors object to exams or other informa-
tion om their classes being part of the study file,
“we would honor that,” said Chrissy Guyer, SGA
vice president. “The objective of the study file is
not to hel people cheat.”

Lance erkins does not feel that SGA’s file will
affect his business, The Note Pad, at 506 1/2
Euclid Avenue. He hires students to take notes in
their classes, then sells the notes.

The Note Pad and SGA share the goal of help-
ing students excel, Perkins said, but they fill differ-
ent niches.

“We don’t sell old notes — we sell current
notes,” he said.

The Note Pad does not sell old tests, but it
offers services besides notes, such as accelerate
learning ta 3. SGA is offering $200 each to the
residence {sell and the Greek and independent
organizations that donate the most materials. The
faculty member who provides the most material

will receive a recognition award.

Still president stresses involvement

By Gary Wuli

Associate News Editor

Editor’s note: This is the second
part of a two-part series focusing on
the outgoing and interning Student
Government Association presidents.

SGA President Melanie Cruz
learned much in her three years in
SGA. Beginning as a freshman in
the Freshman Representative
Council and continuing through
last year, when she served as exec-
utive director of campus affairs,
Cruz has remained active in repre-
senting students and developing
relationships with administrators.

Now she leads the SGA, repre-
sentin students on the communi-
ty colFege and plus/minus issues,
among others.

In an interview Monda , Cruz
discussed her plans for the next
year, her relationship with admin-
istrators and her experience.

Gary Wulf: With winning by 40
votes, does that push you to work any
harder?

Melanie Cruz: Absolutely. The
voter turnout was higher than last
year, (which was) the record low.
It’s good to see the election
brought out the interest of the stu-
dent body. Apathy is really a big

 

 

gives you guaranteed finance approval.

issue on campus
and it’s kind of
difficult to assess
how we can get
more people to
vote.

But with just 40
people being the
Cruz decidin factor of

who’s e winner,
it’s actually kind of scary that it
was that close. So I really want to
work with (runner-up) Kyle
(Thompson). He has a lot of good
issues on there.

I don’t know whether or not
people were trying to make SGA
more accountable or whether they
were misinformed. There’s a wide
variety of things that could have
contributed to the closeness of the

 

election.
GW: As executive
director of campus

affairs you have spon-
sored a bonfire and a
hunger banquet; what
can students expect
from you as SGA
president?

MC: I know
from my standpoint
when I was involved
in the Residence Hall
Association one of the things we
stressed was iving back to the
community. hat was something
we were alwa 5 working on. I was
community c airperson One of
the greatest things I think I have
ever done is sponsor an Easter egg
hunt at the Shriner’s Hospital and
for the kids who couldn’t pick the
eggs up we would help them out.

I think being more community-
oriented, giving back to the com-
munity, is one thing I would like
to see.

And through that, possibly have
senate-sponsored projects,
because I know a lot of times the
executive branch isn’t shown for
or isn’t recognized, but that’s not
the reason we’re there.

‘11

_I_f

Melanie Cruz

The tutorial service and tax ser-
vice are a lot of work. I would just
like to see the student body more
active.

Possibly having pep (rallies) for
the different 5 orts. I have met
with the ath etics department
already regardin a “Schoolhouse
Rock” project t at will be April
ll. I can remember when I was in
high school how excitin it was to
go to the pep rallies T ey would
rally behind their class or team
and I think that’s something we
are lacking.

GW: What is the first thin you
hope to accomplish as S GA presi ent?

MC: We are working with Dr.
(Charles) Wethington and the
community colleges to make sure
the community colleges will
remain with the University. I have

met with a number
of people who said,
‘I was a community
college student and
you can’t do this to
us. You have to do
something.’ I have
_.I met with Kathy
Stein (Rep.-Lexin -
ton) and I will prog-
ably be interning her
during the General
Assembly, so I will be there at the
special session I think one of the
strong points is that people are
starting to listen to community
college student concerns and wi
that in mind, if feasible, I will
lobby for a community college
student on the board of trustees,
just like the SGA president does
The idea of bringing a community
college student onto the board of
trustees is needed and I think right
now is the time to act.

GW: You campaigned on know—
ing the administrators on a first—
name basis, but how does that help the
student?

MC: I have a good working
relationship. I know (Dean of Stu-
dents David) Stockham, Vice

President (of University Relav,
tions) Joseph Burch really well. I
think a lot of times some people
come into the office and they have
to tiptoe and find their way around
the administration as to how to act
and what needs to be done. I know
what needs to be done and I know
how to get it done. ‘i

The administration has been
always been helpful on advice.
The memorial room (within the
William T. Young Library) was
actually a suggestion by (Chancel—
lor for the Lexington Campus
Elisabeth) Zinser when (SGA Vice
President) Alizha (Rice) and I met
with her regarding the student sat—
isfaction committee we sit 09..
Campus recreations — I met with
Joe Burch and Dean Stockham
and they said Dr. Games) Kuder
(vice chancellor of student affairs)
and Bill Pieratt of campus recre-
ation. Next thing I knew $20,000
was in the campus recreation bud-

et.

GVV: In Kyle Thompson and:
Kristin Triplett’s campaign, they
wanted to hold a campus-wide party
and fix advising; have you thought
about implementing any of their
ideas?

MC: What I wanted to present
to the administration —- when, I’m
not exactly sure — a student fees
oversight committee. The Univer-
sity of Texas at Austin and the
University of Colorado at Bouldee"
already have one, where the stut'u‘.
dents actually decide where theifi‘.
student fees are going to 0. And 1’;
think that was one of ('I‘Eompsog‘
and Triplett’s) strong points
their campaign. 1 -

GW: After it’s all said and donor?
what do you hope to accomplish? '7

MC: I would like to validate-1~
SGA’s influence on campus, (andJ;
by doing that, getting students:
involved, getting students hyped‘f
up about being here at UK, bringig“

NAIA power tops
Cats on home run

By Rob Herbal
Weekend Sport: Hirer

Ask many average baseball fans
about Birmingham-Southern and
they’ll tell you it’s in Southern
Birmingham. That’s probably all
theycan tell you.

he largely unknown NAIA
team, known as the Panthers,
squeaked out a dramatic 4—3 victo-
ry over UK.

Tied at three in the top of the
ninth, Birmin ham-Southern
rightfielder Chad ost took a two-
out full count pitch over the right
field wall to give the Panthers the
lead.

_“I was thinkin home run,”
Post said. “With a lgull count I was
thinking (UK pitcher Aaron Acuff)
would make me hit it, and I did.”

UK had an opportuni to tie
the game in the bottom ha f of the
inning, but like most of the previ-
ous innings, the Wildcats didn’t
capitalize.

The Cats had a runner in scor-
ing position in seven of the nine
innings, but failed to take advan-
tage.

Their final ho e came when
Jason Ratliff was t e tying run on
second with one out, but a strike-
out and groundout to the short-
stop gave UK (8-20—1) another
loss.

“Baseball is a funny game,” UK
coach Keith Madison said. “You
can do something perfectly but

not have success. That's baseball.

“I thou ht overall, we played a
very good all game. I’m not try-
ing to make excuses, but Birming-
ham-Southem got a lot of breaks.”

Birmingham-Southem (30-8)
was not your run-of-the-mill
NAIA squad. The dreaded Pan-
thers are ranked No. 4 in the latest
NAIA poll.

“Birmingham-Southern is
comparable to 75 percent of the
Division I teams,” Madison said.
“That’s the difference in baseball.
You’re not oing to find that in
football or asketball because of
the size factor. There’s no size fac-
tor in baseball.”

Madison gave a rare weekday
start to pitcher Scott Downs. The
ace of the staff usually pitches only
against Southeastern Conference
opponents.Downs asked to pitch
yesterday.

“This was my first midweek
start since I’ve been here,” Downs
said. “I talked to coach on Sunday
and because I knew they were a
good team, I asked him if] could
pitch on Wednesday. I just wanted
to come out and give this team a
win.”

Downs didn’t give his team a
win, but he didn't give UK a loss
either. Because he was limited by
the coaching staff to only 50 pitch-
es, he pitched only four innin s
and made only one costly mista e
- a two run home run to Panther
first baseman Brian Autry in the
first inning.

he “could pick 100 professions I

doesn't include politics.

Pitino said 4th District U.S.
Rep.]im Bunning had a lot to with
souring him on politics. Bunning
fired off a scathing fax to Pitino
after the coach introduced Presi-

“It's just that I don't think it's a
noble profession,” Pitino said.
