_ Officials object to report on tenured women

Hy l-‘R.\.\' STEWART
Senior Staff Writer

Some l'K administrators say a re-
oort about a shortage of tenured fac
ulty postttOns filled by women por-
trayed a much "bleaker" picture
than cxtsts at L'K

The Kentucky (‘ommission on
Human Rights released Monday a
report that recommended L'K ”—un
'fcrtake strong affirmative action
plans to increase the number of

women in tenured pOSitions. accord-
ing to an Associated Press story.
which appeared in yesterday's Kenr
tuchy Kernel.

According to Nancy Ray. assistant
vice president for administration.
the commission's report did not give
an accurate portrayal of the situa-
tion at UK,

“it's true we need to get more
women faculty and black faculty.
but the story is not as bleak as the
conclusion (the report drew." she
said. “We lost women in the tenure

system. but we did not lose 24 ten-
ured women. What happened was
statewide budget cuts and retire-
ments "

In fact. the number of women
tilting tenured faculty positions at
the University actually increased
from fall to 1983. she said “The
total number of women faculty at
UK has dropped. but there are
more women with tenure than two
years ago. This indicates to me that
women are progressing through the
ranks."

One of the problems with hiring
women for tenured positions is
that they must first get into grad.
uate school and the disciplines
where colleges are likely to grow.

“Women with Ph.D.s are not
able to teach in any depart-
ment.“ Ray said. Also. few
women have entered fields. such
as computer science and engi-
neering. in which faculty posi-
tions are open. she said.

"With the changes in mandato-
ry retirement and the enrollment
patterns leveling off. colleges are
not expanding but contracting.“
she said. “You don‘t get a lot of
faculty leaving. Several years
ago there was a lot of competi-
tion for junior and senior faculty.
but now it‘s much more stable."

According to Ray. the percent-
age of women in tenured faculty
positions at UK is comparable to
other institutions granting doctor-
ate degrees. and comparing the

The high percentage of women

tions where a master's degree is

Community colleges are able to

cause there are more women

But higher up the education lad-
der. the ratio of women to men

Auto workers begin unveiling
a patriotic commercial blitz

Monday morning on NBC's “Today"
show.

“This fits into the UAW pattern to
try to shape the labor negotiations to

By PHIL FRAME
Associated Press

DETROIT — The United Auto
Workers union unveiled a series of
television commercials this week to
tell the public it is battling to keep
American jobs at home and keep the
nation strong in this year's contract
negotiatiom with auto companies.

“We wanted to go directly to the
American public with the message
that our goal this year is to stem the
tide of jobs being outsourced
(moved) overseas," UAW president
Owen Bieber said at a news confer-
ence.

The first 30-second spot. showing a
car on a New York dock being grad-
ually obscured by crates of foreign
auto parts. ran for the first time

tell the union's story." said Arvid
Jouppi, a Detroit-based independent
auto industry analyst. “It‘s also an
attempt to get thr0ugh (to) Congress
and have the president sign do-
mestic content legislation."

Domestic content legislation would
mandate that a certain percentage
of the parts of a car sold in the Unit-
ed States he made in America.

The four national TV spots say
auto companies are moving more
jobs overseas. and that spells dan-
ger because “America‘s future de-
pends on American jobs."

That‘s why the UAW has made a
demand for a curb on the number of

jobs moved to foreign countries its
top priority in negotiations under
way with Ford Motor Co. and Gener.
al Motors Corp. the commercials
say.

Bieber said the ad campaign, for
which the union has budgeted up to
$2 million. is meant to show people
that the flow of US. jobs overseas is
bad for them. not iust auto workers.

We spots — one 30 seconds and
the other a full minute ~ portray
the positive effects of auto jobs on
communities. Another :to-second

GM and Ford offer no wage
increases; unions may strike

By EDWARD MILLER
AssociatedPress
DETROlT —- General Motors

Corp. and Ford Motor Co, yesterday
offered nearly half a million United
Auto Workers members no wage in-
crease and no concrete guarantees
on job security. the union's No. 1
issue in this summer‘s labor talks.

UAW bargainers at both compa-
nies said they were shocked at the
offers. given the auto industry‘s re-
cord profits.

They said the proposals sharply
increased the likelihood of a strike
against one of the companies when
the contracts expire Sept. 14. The
union's top leaders scheduled a
meeting for 'ednesday to decide
which of the t 0 companies will be
the strike target.

GM and Ford told the UAW in ef-
fect that their labor costs are high
enough despite their record profits.

Both GM and Ford proposed
three-year contracts GM also of-

Both proposed two-tier wage
scales under which newer workers
would be brought in at lower wages
than present workers. and both pro
posed changing cost of living allow-
ances slightly. apparently to lessen
the rate of increased payments

Donald Ephlin. the chief union
bargainer at GM. called the wage
offer “meager and unrealistic“ and
said lack of a job security proposal

ture "

Reagan Opens door
to citizen passenger
aboard the shuttle

President Ronald Reagan announced Monday that tou~
rism in space has become a reality Speaking to a group of
educators. Reagan launched a search through the nation's
elementary alid secondary schools to select the first citizen
passenger to fly aboard a space shuttle flight

Depending on how your mind works. it is either ironic
or clearly political that Reagan called for a teacher to be
selected for the honor Both the National Education Asso-
ciation and the American Federation of Teachers have en-
dorsed the Mondale-Ferraro ticket for the fall.

It seems the National Aeronautics and Space Adminis-
tration had narrowed the possible choices to an educator or
a Journalist By opting for a teacher. Reagan may have
made a gesture toward one of his most vocal groups of
critics. but the President also may have neglected the

main purpose of this first citizen in space:

flight

to observe the

Indeed. a Journalist would be much more qualified to

report his or her experiences

Both in writings and lec-

tures. such an individual could better relate the event to

the publicatiarge

This is not to discredit the selection of a teacher. In-
structors face groups of eager young minds every day and
are as well-versed as Journalists at getting their ideas

across No doubt such

considerations

were carefully

weighed by NASA in narrowing its field

It is the Journalists primary focus on reporting that
makes him or her the better candidate. And despite Reas
gan calling educators "America's finest." it is doubtful his
gesture will significantly sway teacher votes in November.

The real Significance of the flight w which could be
scheduled as early as 1985 A is that the first passenger will
fly in space. For the first time. mankind will visit the cos-
mic v0id without concerning himself with a particular mis~

sion specialty

For the first time on a space flight. there will be an
American along Just for the ride, The fact that a normal
citizen is gOing seems much more important than which

individual it happens to be
The next "great leap"

for mankind. whether taken by

an educator. a Journalist or a construction worker. will be
the first step toward the colonization of space. It will be a
first step off this frail planet Earth for the average Joe . .

perhaps the greatest “leap" in the history of space explo-

ration
