Student Center Board
needs more room, money

By JEANN I-Z WEHNES
Kernel Staff Writer

Days Of Our Lives and As The
Vitrld Turns are causing problems
fir MaryJo Mertens.

If tie Student Center had one more
TV lounge, there wouldn't be any
ﬁghts over which soap opera to
WdCh. There would be one TV for
tadi station.

Martens, Student Center director,
said additional funding proposals,
mently before the Council of
Higher Education in Frankfort.
wuild allow another TV lounge so
sic wouldn’t have to solve such
poblems. In addition, more space
fir other activities will be added.

The space at the SC is currently
mod to capacity, Mertens said The
Student Center lacks meeting
rooms, game rooms and lounges.

The is the area where UK falls
furthest behind other major
in'versities such as the University
d Tennessee and Indiana University
tbdh benchmark institutions). UT
its I) student lounges, IU six. UK
its (1in me.

Both benchmark schools have

thiee’l‘V lounges, thus avoiding the
witchchannel-towatch problem.
['1‘ and IU have arts and crafts
cutters and bowling lanes. UK has
ru'ther.

Mcrtens said if the new building
imposals, to be funded by in-
(leasing student activity fees from
dis-current $12 per semester for full
time students, are. not approved in
i‘l‘dhkioi‘t, plans will be drawn up to
alter one of the rooms in the SC to
include an arts and crafts room.

The Student Center Board (SCB)
at UK is operated by appointed
stiidmts who decide the programs to
be presented for students in the
tuning year.

John Herbst, programming
(hector, said actual programming
capacities vary from year to year,
(kipending on the number of full-
time students enrolled at the
University. The programming board
is allocated $1 of the $12 student
activity fee assessed students each
semester. The $11 balance is used
i'oropcrating the actual building and
paying wages, utilities and main—
tmance costs.

Despite inflation, the programs

sponsored by SCB have increased in
amber in the past few years
without an increase in student fees.
The movie series has expanded from
five to seven days a week and an
increased number of lectures and
inncerts have been added.

iierbst said he believed part of
SCB‘s ability to add more programs
is because of a more business-like
attitude of recent SCB members in
porgiamming activities and events
that are better supported by
students. The movie series of recent
years has been especially good, he
said. with good student turnout.

At 1U, the student center collects a
70 cent fee per full-time student to
turd its various student activities.
These activites include lectures, art
ethibits, a discoteque, “fire-side
diats" with university professors
and the “I)usk-til~Dawn“ festival of
contests, such as sundae eating.

Other activities programmed by
the student center include movies,
(tricerts and performing arts. A fee
is usually charged for these events
for participation, but the fee is

Council on Higher Education
vetoes construction funds

By JACK WAlNWRIGIIT
Kernel Reporter

The Council on Higher Education
(CHE) voted Wednesday not to
appropriate funds for construction
projects at state colleges until 1380

Kentucky colleges originally
proposed 100 construction projects
at an estimated cost of $240 million,
but that figure was later cut to $167
million and only 72 top priority
projects were proposed.

UK proposals included a $6 million
pharmacy building, a $7.5 million
research and animal care facility, a
$6 million hospital addition, a $1.1
million music department
classroom annex and a $6.6 million
art-architecture building.

- Student ticket distribution for
basketball games begins Sunday
from 2 to 6 pm. for the SMU and
Indiana games at the left front
windows of Memorial Coliseum.
Students can at that time pick up
only one ticket for each game at
that time with a validated II)
and activity card.

Students can pick up a
maximium of two student
tickets, with two validated ID‘s
and activity cards, on Monday
from!) am. to 4 pm. at the same
place.

If any student tickets remain

The total list of priorities for UK

munity college prejects and a
chemistry physics building ad-
ditioni but only three were stressed.

The hospital addition would have
included a pre-ambitory care
facility. consisting of offices for
doctors who would have provided
increased services for the med
center

The prc-ambitory care facility
could have enabled the medical
center to expand its services and
include service for spouses and
children of students.

The addition would have brought
the College of Medicine up to the
standards of the top six medical
schools in the Southeast.

on Tuesday, a student can pick
tip a maximum of two with
validated 1D and activity cards
at the Coliseum ticket office, or
a student may present only one
set of cards and receive one
student ticket and also purchase
one $4 (cashi guest ticket.

On Wednesday from 9 am. to
4 pm, all rcamining student
tickets will be sold to the public
on a first come. first serve basis.

In case of bad weather, ticket
distribution will be done inside
Coliseum.

“The hospital addition would
primarily be of benefit to the College
of Medicine and would include the
addition of seven beds and a
relocation of psychiatrics,“ Dr.

Peter Bosomworth, vice president

for the medical center, said.
According to William Romano,
special assistant to the

available for the allied health
program and the med center as soon

as the College of Nursing building is

completed.

“The second floor of annex two
will be empty as soon as the College
of Nursing is relocated," Bosom-

UK students should consider
new relative grade transcripts

By CHARLES MAIN
Kernel Staff Writer

[The writer has conducted ex-
tensive research on relative grade
transcripts. This story contains his
observations and conclusions]

Announcement of the Arts &
Sciences Faculty Committee's
impending decision to try volunteer
relative grade transcripts for A 8: S

news analysis

students next fall has already
prompted some mixed student
response.

The most characteristic reaction,
however. has been: “If it‘s only
voluntary, we don‘t have to worry
about it.“ Many students apparently
feel that they only need be con-
cerned with policies that are forced
upon them.

The UK version of the relative
transcript will add to the student‘s
transcript. at his requeest, the
number of students in each of his
classes and the number who got his
grade or better. as well as the
average grade point average iGl’A;
of the. students in each class.

Students at the Ifiiivcrsity of
California at Berkley successfully
fought a similar proposal that cann-
before their University Senate last
spring. The basic difference in the
Berkley proposal was that it was to
be mandatory.

An article in the Berkley campus
newspaper,The Berkley Graduate.
denounced the planned change. in
grade reporting, saying it would
have a “profound and detrimental
effect on the Berkley campus en-
viornment."

The article went on to state that
the new transcripts would increase
competition and cause students to
stay away from group projects and

motivational courses. ”all because a
student's grade will now be
cvtluatetl in light of the per-
formance of the entire class.“

The Graduate concluded that the
relative transcript would put an
unfair stigma of “below average" on
half of Berkley's students when in
fact “our students are from the top
12 percent in the nation.

"Also, making the average grade
it) the class public record will act as
implied pressure on nontenured
tatiilty. forcing them to give lower
grades."

The, relative transcript, in
whatever form it is implemented, is
an attempt to halt the. runaway
inflation of grades, which has been
causing great concern among many
of the nation‘s educators and college
administrators.

The obvious imbalance in the
college grading system is pointed up
by the siiiiiillancous rise in median
iil’t‘s in the nation‘s colleges and

drop in ACT and SAT scores in the
nation‘s high schools. The relative
transcript is perhaps the most viable
solution to that imbalance.

Much of the criticism of the
relative transcript is based on
misunderstanding of its purpose.
Students at Berkley voiced fears
that the relative transcripts would
put them at a disadvantage in
competetion for positions in
professional schools.

In reality, the transcript will only
provide evaluators with more in-
formation about the meaning of each
grade. Students who have high test
scores and who have scheduled
good, difficult courses throughout
their college careers can only be
helped by the relative transcripts.

if they have A's, the As will carry
that much more. weight; if they have
B's and C‘s, the value of those
grades will be increased. Students

The requests for state funding of higher
education during the next biennium show a
determined effort to temper needs with the
reality of little available money.

The outlook is that Gov. Julian Carroll will
accept the recommendations. and include them
in his state budget. If the governor does include
them. they should be passed by the legislature
so that universities can begin to solve the urgent
