UK, U of L faculty wary of merger prospects

By LlNl KADABA
Contributing Writer

Some faculty members at UK and
the University of Louisville are con-
cerned that a proposed merger of
the two schools would be decided
without their input.

“Come July 1 ta recommenda-
tion) will be presented to the (UK)
Board (of Trustees). and what does
the board know about it?" said C0n~
nie Wilson. a three-term Trustee and
director of graduate studies for the
College of Social Work.

“In six months a five-member
committee — none of whom has ex-
pertise in this area — will be recom-
mending to the Board. 1 have a thou-
sand questions and no answers.“ she
said.

George C Lindauer, chairman of

Louisville's faculty senate, wrote in
his 1%! annual report of the senate
that U of L President Donald C
Swain failed “to provide full cooper‘
ation with the senate and maintain
close liaison with the chair on all is-
sues related to the possible merger
of the University of Louisville and
UK as requested by the faculty sen-
ate.

“An example of this is the presi-
dent‘s attempt to prevent the ap-
pointment 0f the faculty trtstee to
the Board of Trustees committee to
study the potential merger of U of L
and UK.“ he wrote. Lindauer was
unavailable for comment.

Last April. the Council on Higher
Education passed a resolution
asking the presidents of UK and t'
of L to study a proposed merger of
the universities and make a recom-

About eight months has passed since the Council
on Higher Education asked UK and U of L presidents
to study a possible merger and make a recommenda-
tion by July. In the meantime. faculty at both schools
continue to question the pros and cons of the move
as the UK Board of Trustees awaits a recomiiienda~

tion at its July meeting.

 

mendation by July. L'K President
()tis A. Singletary anti Swain both
appointed special trustee commit-
tees to investigate the pros and cons
of such a merger.

Gary C ox. deputy executive direc-
tor of the CHE. said a merger would
mean no more than changing the
governing structure of the two
schools. “It's a governing structure

that would bring the two institutions
together. You would have one man
agement that would make the gov
erning decisions."

The potential advantages. (‘ox
said. include “the best utilization of
resources of the two campuses "

Singletary. however. saiti "the
thorny issues" would be tied to the
structure of the merged institutions.

however.

“We could very conceivably reach
the $18 milliOn mark" with private
gifts. said Terry B. Mobley. director
of development. Last year the L'ni<
versity received $9.3 million. As of
Sept. 30. the University had received
$14.7 million. and since that date
several other major gifts have been
announced.

According to Mobley. there are
three main reasons the amount has
increased so rapidly. "There is a
greater awareness on people's part
that we are a state-assisted institu-
tion and not a state-supported insti-
tution — that we do have tremen«
dous needs that are not being met
from . . . the state appropriated dol-
lars."

Another reason. Mobley said. is
that the University as a whole is
doing a better job of identifying
what its needs are and asking people
to provide that type of financial sup-
port. “l think the leadership of the

wanting to pursue outside support . "
The office of development. where
the gifts are managed. has several
functions. according to Mobley The
first is to identify sources of private
support to which the University
should go for private assistance.
Secondly. it helps identify where
money is needed. “Actually the dif<
ferent colleges have to do that. they
are more aware of what their needs

l-ditor's note This is the second
tit u three part series on the UK tete
coni miniictitimis department.

Plans to reduce the number of stu
dents within the telecommunications
department will be implemented
next semester. according to Thomas
it Doiiohue. chairman of the depart-
tiieiit

in an article which appeared in
the Kentucky Kernel (lct l2. Dono-
hiie said a request to restructure the
current undergraduate curriculum
was submitted and approved by the
l‘iiiversity Senate Council

The result would be a reduction in
students as much as :30 percent n
in the department. Donohue said
this reduction also would result in
greater contact between the tele»
communications taculty and stu-
dents . something that is missing
right now. he said

Currently. there are only five full-
time faculty members who serve
about 29:3 students in the depart-
ment. he Silld.

"1 can guarantee I can take it into
the Top to in the country. using as
criteria. undergraduates whom any-
one would be proud to employ." Do-
tiohuc said.

The proposal will rearrange the
telecommunications department into
a two-year program where only Ju-
niors and seniors are advised But
the tt‘eshmen and sophomores will
not be ignored

He said that to be accepted the
student tiiust have a “B" average iii

munications prthiiiajor require

would prepare themselves by taking

In the middle of their sophomore
year. students would petition for ad-
mission A committee would then in-
terview them for acceptance into the
program. he said

Donohue said by the time a stu-
dent enters his sophomore year. his
"floats and aspirations" will have
matured.

The current number of students is
.i 13 percent drop from last semes~
ter's totals. he said

Donohue credits two factors that
haxe influenced the recent drop: his
encouragement to faculty members
to he more "grade-consciousz" and
the installment of the Universi—

The greek community gave the
underprivileged community an early
Christmas present last night.

Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity kid»
napped the housemothers of frater»
nities and sororities on campus last
night. and to get their housemother
back. the greek organizations had to
donate food for the Community
Kitchen. One canned good per mem-
ber was collected and will be do
nated to the Community Kitchen for
its Christmas meal. said Rodney
Thompson. Lambda Chi greek activ-
ities chairman. He said they col-
lected about 1,000 cans.

Because it was for a good cause.
the housemothers from the sorori-
ties and fraternities were excited
about being kidnapped. They were
entertained by the members of
Lambda Chi while waiting for mem-
bers of their organization to come
release them.

“It is for a good cause and it helps
a lot of people," said Maiuie Copp.

Alpha Xi Delta sorority hotisciiioth-
er “It is good to have it during the
holidays even though we are busy "

Kidnapping housemothers is an
old tradition at Lambda ('lii frater-
nity that has not been done for 20
years. according to Matthew Beas-
ley. the fraternity educator "An
alumni came at Homtx'oming anti
told us about it. We thought it was a
neat idea so we reinstituted it
again."

All housemothers were informed
ahead of time. Thompson said.
“They are having a good time with
it. It has gotten the housemothers
and organizations a lot closer “

John Hunter. president of Lambda
Chi. said when he went to pick up
the homemothers at the house. there
was a lot of excitement “The frater»
nities and sororities were pretty hu—
morous about it. The housemothers
were very receptive. very respon-
sivetoit."

The cause, he said. increased the
receptiveness of the whole program
“It is definitely our intention to start
a tradition here."

Kidnapping of housemothers has
been done many times before. said
Betty t'nsworth. Farmhouse frater-
nity housemother She said she has
been kidnapped many times before.
"I think it is great, The Community
Kitchen needs the food."

Phylis (ioodlet. Alpha Delta Pi so-
rority housemother. said the kidnap»
ping for the food was another exam-

she also enjoyed the kidnapping.
“Since the ransom was paid before I
was kidnapped. I wasn‘t that upset.“

notion that the emphasis on grades
is “weeding out" students. he hopes
that the method will "establish stan
dards that mean something "

With the new admissions standard
he said now the department doesn‘t
"have as many unqualified stu-

Donohue outlined two major goals
for the program which. in the long
run. would benefit the average tele»

rapidly.

”Private funding of research
never is going to be a major part of
our. , .grant support.“

Whether private support money
goes to the development office or to
the research foundation depends on
whether the money was given for a
specific purpose. “If the contract
has to do with specific research. it
will most likely go through the re-
search foundation." Peters said
"Unspecified gifts go through the
development office. "

Receiving a grant is more difficult
than it was five years ago. Peters
said. “The number of proposals one
has to prepare seems to go up. Res
searchers need to do more ground-
work to get a grant.

“We could be doing better." he
said “Some departments are doing
very well.“ Some examples are the
department of biological sciences.
the College of Engineering and the
College of Agriculture.

“Research dollars is not the only
measure of faculty quality." he said.
But ”it is one measure and is impor»
tant.“

Some of the younger faculty may
have a harder time getting grants.
he said. so the research foundation
uses some of the overhead of the
other grants to get them started.

Swain also recently appointed a
Blue Ribbon Advisory Committee
comprising prominent Louisville cit-
izens “to assess public opinion and
the effects of merger.“ he said dur-
ing a recent telephone interview.

The two trustee committees have
held organizational meetings.

Both Singletary and Swain. howev—
er. said it‘s too early in the game to
talk about what direction the merg.
er will take. “it seems to me there's
a kind of orderly progression.“ Sin-
gletary said. "And at this point you
can't say who is for it or who is
against it. Nobody‘s considered the
options. They may decide there are
no advantages or they may decide
there are some very real advan—
tages or they may decide it‘s a close
call. Who knows? "

Swain said: “The only intelligent
position to take at this point would
be open minded,"

Tim I-‘reudenberg. Student Gov-
ernment Association president. also
said he‘s not willing to support or
oppose a merger at this point. “We
study and study and study every-
thing." he said. “But in this case. I
think the implications are profound
enough that we need to take our
time and be sure this is what we
want to do."

He said the state‘s financial dilem-
mas and low rank on the higher edu-
cation totem pole demands the study
of a merger. "The Trustees are ap-
pointed to represent the interests of
the Commonwealth. and it seems to
me we owe it to the people of this
state. as complacent as they may
be. to look at every alternative se-
riously. including merger. but not
necessarily just merger.“ said
Freudenberg. who is UK‘s student
Trustee.

Most educators and legislators
agreed that Kentucky‘s money prob-
lems began with the creation of
Northern Kentucky University as a
four-year institution and the intro
duction of U of 1. into the university
system.

“The problem is we haven’t decid-
ed to provide more money for a sys-
tem with two very large. new insti-
tutions." Freudenberg said.
"Everybody would like a North Car-
olina. Chapel Hill. in their state, but
not everybody is willing to pay for
it. . . , UK runs an ad that you can't
have a great state without a great
state university. Well you can't have
a great state university unless you
have a great state backing you up.“

U of L's special trustee committee
has issued a study of merger on
other campuses. “A review of the
literature describing public—institu-

tion mergers quickly indicates that
the Council on Higher Education‘s
proposal is unusual." the report be»
gins.

it defined merger as “the coins
plete integration of two universities
into one,“ in which a single board
would govern a multicampus sys-
tem.

Reasons for merging. according to
the U of L study. include economic
or financial benefit; solutions to
problems that independent schools
would be unwilling to address. and
enhancement of educational pro-
grams.

John Folger. a professor of higher
education at Vanderbilt University.
was quoted in the study as saying.
“A merger could be successful if . .
there is sufficient recognition from
the governor and the legislature that
there are major problems of dupliv
cation. and the chancellor has the
proper authority to solve the 1.97
sues."

Folger. a former executive direc-
tor of the coordinating board for
Tennessee. also said: “A major
question to be considered is whether
the merged institutions can obtain
any kind of consensus or support for
the plan on the part of the faculties
The faculties don‘t have to make the
plan. but if they are recalcitrant. it
probably will not work."

In 1961. Illinois created a Board of
Higher Education to coordinate its
higher education system. As a re-
sult. the Illinois legislature has not
had to mediate political fights on the
floor. ending the earlier problem of
the “system with the most political
clout -— though not necessarily the
greatest need - obtaining a disprvr
portionate share of the resource;
available to higher education. "

In 1971. North Carolina formed .i
super board. consolidating 16 higher
education institutions. The study
said the merger did not aid in elimi-
hating duplication. However. the
board has prevented the establish
ment of a new law school. the we
pansion of new engineering pro.
grams and the proliferation of
professional schools and doctoral
level programs.

Singletary suggested that public
hearings may be held in the spring.
but added. “The question is when
and what amount of work ought to
be done before that and in some
point in time. our group has got to
decide whether they believe the ad-

tages and disadvantages of a UK-U
of l. merger. "Why is North Caroli-
na our model and what should be
our model‘.’ [5 a year long enough
for faculty input?"

According to Swain. North Caroli-
na's merger began as a “modest
three-board consolidation and then
grew into a large board." Kentucky
is exploring the system because “if
you start down this road. it could
grow into something larger." he
said.

Merger on a smaller scale — the
consolidation of I'K's and U of L's
dental school programs he has cre-
ated some problems. according to
Dr Robert Spedding. a professor of
pediatric dentistry. lie said the den-
tal school plan has depressed faculty
morale and diluted the quality of
l'K‘s program.

"I think we're starting at the
wrong place." he said "They‘ve
started with department chairmen.
It takes our chairman away, i think
it‘s hurting our morale, When we
had a ttlllrilltlt‘ chairman we had the
opportunity to immediately get to
him and get qtiick results. We don't
have those kinds of opportunities
anymore

Wilson said she perceives the deli-
tal :school plan as a first step to a
1K and l' ot l. merger "If that's
what merger means. then you just
get that feeling "

Wilson also asked. "Why are we
only looking at this package?” She
said alternatives. such as a super
board that would merge all eight
universities. also should be explor-
ed

Frank Jemley. president of Louis-
ville‘s Student Government Assoc1a~
tion. said he would endorse a super
board ‘lt makes no sense to let two
universities have a common struc
ture and let the rest of the Six re
main floating." said .lemley. who is
l' of l.‘s student trustee

Singletary and Swain. as well as
the regional presidents. oppose even
the study of a super board structure
“I don‘t like to see a single board in
control of much more than three ’11]
ctitutionsv.” Singletary said “It‘s
hard for the Board of Trustees to un-
derstand this institution. When you
get the central board for all the in»
stitutioiis lit the state. the board
doesn't get to really know anything
about any ol them I think that‘s the
worst oi all situations

vantages are strong enough that
they want to at least explore that
thing further.“

Wilson. however. voiced several
concerns that stretch beyond advanr

\nd some haye already express-
ed the fe it they think this is the first
step in that dint-tion." he said If
that's what it ls‘. we clearly don't
want It

Katfish approach rough water

By ANDY DUMSTORF
Sports Editor

The UK swim team, fresh off
meets against Kenyon College and
Ohio University last weekend. are
fast approaching the toughest times
of the season. according to freshman
Chris Godfrey.

Godfrey. who captured first place
in the 200yard freestyle against Ke-
nyon, said that over the Christmas
break. the swimmers will be going
through a two week “hell session.“

“Over the break everyone goes
home and works out with their indi-
vidual clubs." the Elizabethtown
freshman said. “It's the hardest
time for a swimmer. and we‘ll come
back to school after that and go
through one more week of hell be-
fore we start back into our next
meets.“

The women‘s team will swim
again on Jan. 18 against Transylva-
nia. and the men enjoy more than a
full month layoff before returning to
action Jan. 26 against Georgia.

The men‘s team has enjoyed early

season success. winning four of their
first five meets. The women. only in
their second season as a varsity
team. have improved tremendously
from last year. said coach Wynn
Paul. The women are currently 2-2
onthe season.

Junior Dennis Damron attributed
the team's early season success to
the practice sessions both teams
have been going through this year

“We are more intense in practice
than we were last year." Damron
said. “We have a group of freshmen
that really push the rest of us in
practice."

Damron referred to freshmen
Doug Beima and Godfrey as the
more noteworthy standouts on the
squad this year.

"Doug really pushes us in work
out." he said. “He is a sprinter. like
me. and he keeps me on my toes in
practice."

He credits Godfrey With giving the
team a lift during practice and iiiak~
ing the “adrenaline flow "

The women's team. during the
past three meets, set and reset to
varSity records. and against Ke-
nyon. the men set eight new pool re-
cords.

Paul said going into the Kenyon
meet. the team was looking fo
