UK ’s new nursing program greeted
with mixed support b y college members

By MARY ANN BUCHART
Copy Editor

Although nursing students dont
appear pleased with the College of
Nursing‘s new two-year program.

Dean Marion McKenna said she~

expects it to work out “fairly well.“
The College of Nursing began a
baccalaureate program this fall after

discontinuing its four~year nursing

program two years ago. Formerly,
students entered the nursing program
as freshmen and after four years
graduated with a bachelor degree in
nursing as well as being prepared for
the testing to be a registered nurse.
Under the baccalaureate program
students must complete at least 64
credit hours and must be a registered
nurse before being accepted.

“This program is designed for
registered nurses who want to become
professionals.“ McKenna said.
Although people don‘t like the terms. a
registered nurse is not really a
professional. she said. The difference
between a registered nurse and a
professional is education.

Registered nurses are those who
have passed the state boards and
attended a two-year program. or not
attended enough school to have their
bachelor‘s degree. A professional
nurse has completed at least four years
and received a baccalaureate degree.

McKenna said the program change
was made for several reasons. “One.
there is a need in Kentucky for
preparing nurses for specialized areas
that were not previously covered in
our courses. For example. the students
never received experience in primary
care settings." she said. “As far as I
know. no academic institutions offer
intensive care settings.

“Two. the Council on Higher
Education‘s study on nursing found
that nursing students‘ career
opportunities need'to be improved.
And we felt that we had the resources
to study this and improve on it." she
said.

All of the faculty members have at
least a master's degree. and McKenna
said she believes they can switch over

to this new program with few
problems.

Bill helps UK students cut their college costs

By GIL LAWSON
Staff Writer

Eligibility for federal grants has
been extended to about 800 UK
students. A recent bill extends the
family income ceiling of college
students for_ Basic Educational
Opportunity Grants eligbility.
President Carter is expected to sign the
bill.

BEOG currently applies to students
whose family income is $l5.000 a year
or less. The Middle Income Student
Assistance Act of I978 will raise the
maximum income level to 525.000.

James lngle. financial aid director.
said approximately 2.400 students
now receive'aid through the EEOC.
The new law will make federal aid
available to nearly 3,200 UK students,

“Most students with family incomes

lngle said. But he added that other
family assets such as stocks and bonds
have to be taken into consideration
before the student can get aid.

lngle said students now getting aid'

through the EEOC will probably not
get additional aid.

Students can get as much as $1.600
in aid through the BEOG. lngle said
this might go up to $1.800 if Congress
appropriates more money for the
grant program.

“We‘ve analyzed their need and met
their need.“ lngle said. He added

She said she did think the faculty
seemed qualified to teach the material

doubts. especially those of us who

Another student. who wished to

heard many good comments about the

“I didn‘t think they should change it

UK matches the federal funding.
one dollar for every four federal
dollars. bringing the total for next year
to over SI million.

The middle income bill passed
easily. but was held up with a tax-
credit provision.

Carter had opposed the tax-credit
provision. saying it was too expensive.
and threatened to veto the entire
legislation.

With the veto threat. Congress
dropped the tax-credit measure and
approved the middle income bill.

lngle said the legislation will benefit
more students with families in the
middle income bracket. “They will get
more dollars in terms of aid compared
to the benefit of tax reductions." he
said.

Today the elephant Is watched over
carefully by the freshman who build it.
They are responsible for keeping it safe
until Homecoming. as it is traditional
for the sophomores to try and destroy
It.

The school does not attempt to
make any money off these events.
Harris said. “In fact it(the school) loses
more than $500.“

Homecoming parades and house
displays cost too much money
according to Harris. “We feel that the
money can be used by organizations to
throw parties.

“Homecoming is for the adults."
Harris said. “A lot of people use
Homecoming as a family reunion.
There are a lot of family ties."

THE PRESIDENTS OF FIVE 0F KENTUCKY'S
STATE SUPPORTED REGIONAL UNIVERSITIES
agreed yesterday that the Council of Higher Education
should not be given any more power. They received some
support from members of the legislative subcommittee that
they testified before.

"I believe that we have now reached the point where
consideration needs to be given to local autonomy and the
prerogativces of the local boards in directing the
institutions." said Dero Downing. president of Western
Keltucky University.

There is a danger in excessive decision making in a
centralized body.“added Constantine Curtis. president of
Murray State University. The presidents then cited
problems with maintaining competitive faculty and staff
salaries along with proper maintenance of buildings and
equipment.

A LEGISLATIVE SUICOMMITTEE said yesterday
that state reclamations inspectors should not be given
authority to shut down strip-mining operations found in
violation of federal law.

The subcommittee on surface mining of the Interim Joint
Committee on Agriculture and Natural Resources rejected
the arguement that Kentucky law should mirror the federal

‘strip mine act by allowing the state Department for Natural

Resources and Environmental Protection — or its
reclamation inspectors —— to issue cessation orders.

Kenton, D-Lexington.

By giving state representatives and senators more time to prepare
for the sessions. the General Assembly should waste less tithe and
work more efficiently. Also. legislators will be spared two years of
wasted work on bills when they get defeated two months before the

session starts.

The amendment would also change the definition of a legislative
day to exclude any day that neither house meets. and would allow
the legislature to recess aftter all bills have been considered and
come back after the governor acts to reconsider any vetoes.

Those changes would all benefit the state. by giving
representative government a chance to work for the people. It
would not effect basic changes in how the legislature meets. such as
increasing the number of days in a session. or in having sessions
each year. With a year to rally support for the measure. let’s hope
Kentuckian‘s realize how much it‘s needed.

 

Legislature, peOpIe

can limit executive
with amendment

Walter Baker is right. In a speech at tne law school forum
Wednesday. the state senator from Glasgow correctly described the
Governor of Kentucky as one of the most powerful governors in the
nation. and stated the imbalance between the Kentucky executive
and legislative branches is harmful to the state. _

The legislature only meets once every two years, and the terms are
so brief that most bills are signed in a rush at the end of the session.
This gives the governor ample opportunity to veto legislation after
adjournment. with no possibility of overturning the veto.

, It doesn‘t have to stay that way, though. Kentucky voters will
have a chance to give the General Assembly more power next
November, when a constitutional amendment will be on a ballot.

Discussed at a special legislative advisory committee this week,
the measure would allow more flexible meetings of the assembly. It
would provide for the election of legislators in even-numbered years
after a session, instead of the current odd-numbered-year elections.

“The greatest advantage of this is that legislators serving on
interim committees. studying issues and becoming familiar with
legislative procedure will be the members of the following General
Assembly which votes on these bills,” said House Speaker William

 

 

 

It‘s time to face a problem that I‘ve
had for quite some time. I can‘t hide or
run any longer. Denying it will not
make it go away.

The truth of the matter is that I am a
sleepaholic.

My pediatrician was the first person
to discover my disease. At birth. when
slapped. I yawned. Things
disintegrated from there. For instance.
as a child I never got to see the Uncle
Al show because it started at the
ungodly hour of 9 a.m. l was sent
home early from camp one summer
because I refused to sing Boy Scout
songs at b a.m. while the sun rose over
the beautiful hills of Camp Tie-a-
Knot.

Things haven‘t changed. These days
I can usually be seen running
frantically at five minutes after the
hour. artfully dodging cars on Euclid
Speedway, struggling to make at least
part of my class.

But I could handle all the social
ostracism (“We can‘t take him on
spring break. he can‘t stay awake to
take his turn driving“) the unkind
remarks (“My God. did you comb
your hair with a blender this
morning?“) and the frustration of
knowing I‘m incurable if it weren‘t for
one thing: My roommate. Franklin,
considers sleep a sign of weakness and

has taken it upon himself to keep me
strong.

[don‘t meanjustduringthe week. In
fact. a typical Saturday at our
apartment goes something like this:

“Get up. already." says Franklin.
“It‘s 7 a.m."

Snore. .

Franklin thenjumps on my bed and
promptly starts doing his trampoline
act. “C'mon.” he says. “There‘s the
most beautiful sunrise ever.”

“If you don‘t quit jumping on my
bed I’m going to barf sunrise with
tequila in it all over you.“ I say.
involuntarily bouncing around, using
the strength of both hands to pry open
one eyelid.

“Seriously.“ he replies. jumping off -

the bed. grabbing my blanket and

I huddle. shivering. on a throw rug.

“Franklin. I‘m telling you for the
last time to go to your room.“ I stand
up and do a triple-gainer back into
bed. “So go find another soul to save.“

Franklin looks like a disheartened
Father Flanagan as he exits. “O.K..“
he calls. “But when you wake up in
hell. don‘t come running to old
Franklin to bail you out.“

“Franklin." I reply. “right now I
have no intention of waking up

tossing it out on the floor. “you‘ve got
to get up. Dawn is the greatest time of
the day.”

“Thank you, ’Thoreau.“ I reply
sourly. grabbing my blanket back and
forming a cocoon. “I'll make sure to
look at one this afternoon when I get
up. Now get out of here.“

Franklin starts to go back to his
room. but stops and turns. “You know
what it is?“

“What what is?“

“What you doing Rip Van Winkle
imitations all the time is?“

“What?”

“It‘s a sin.“

“Franklin!"

“I‘m serious." he says. returning to
my bedside and lifting up the edge of
the mattress. sending me headlong to
the floor. “Sin. sin. sin." he repeats. as

anywhere. including hell.“

“Sinner. sinner. sinner.” he replies.
“That's all you are is one big sinner.“

Last Saturday morning. however.
things changed. I got up at my usual
time (I l:30. but I also take a nap after
lunch./ To my surprise. Franklin‘s
bedroom door was still closed. I
knocked on it. “Franklin. are you all
right?“ I yelled. genuinely concerned
that Mr. No~Doz had apparently
nodded off.

“Yes.“ he replied. “But I don‘t feel
like getting up right now."

Fear flashed through me. “Franklin.
I said. pounding on the door. “let me
in. What on earth is wrong?“

“Nothing." he answered. “I'm just
sleeping late. Nothing unusual in
that."

“Franklin. that’s about as common

  
  
   
  
   
   
 
 
  
  
 
  
  
  
   
    
   
  
 
  
  
 
  
 
   
 
 
 
 
  
 

as me being on time for an eight
o'clock class.“ I laughed. “Don‘t you
realize what you‘re doing is a sin?"

“Will you please just go away?“ he
yelled. sounding angry.

I walked into the living room.
Suddenly. the thought occurred to me
that perhaps it wasn‘t Franklin in that
room after all. That was it! There was
an imposter in my roommate's
bedroom.

But then my eyes darted to the
coffee table. No. there was Franklin‘s
watch. And on the floor below it were
Franklin‘s shoes and socks. And on
the couch were somebody‘s purse and
pantyhose.

. And 'then I realized why Franklin
got angry when I asked him if he knew
that what he was doing was sin.

Letters to

More defense of little sister groups

I read the Kernel for one reason; it

amuses me. Especially amusing was
that parody of journalism that Sue
Teeter started on November 3. In what
was obviously a spoof on investgative
reporting. Sue put together some
really naive paragraphs. I really really
enjoyed the misquotes she put in for
Dean Palm too. I‘m sure Mad
Magazine would love to see your
material. Sue. But Sue. what
happened to the punchline? Your cute
little scenario of life with the midwife
faded in to arid wasteland of true love
tragedies. I felt like I was in Baghdad
(or someplace). My God. it must have
been some job condensing all those
sob stories into those few meaningless
paragraphs. And Sue. you were unfair
in leading us on about the nature of
little sister life. Little sisters are not
slaves. beasts of burden. or indentured
servants; fraternites do not gain tenure
of women who choose to be little
sisters. The fact is. Sue. you are a
terrible writer.

There is only one way you couuld
redeem yourself as a seriousjournalist:
that is to rewrite your article with some
insight. First you‘ll need

missed completely. You didn‘t ask the
question: ‘Why?‘ Why do little sisters
hate thier situation? If you knew the

 

the '
underlying problem. which you have

answer to that. then you would also
know when a little sister program is
successful. With the answer to that
question you couuld justify the
Kernel 's blatant hatred of fraternities.
Write an in-depth article on the
degeneration of the ideals and the
vicissitude of the meaning ‘fraternity.‘
and stop your ridiculous babbling.
Little sister unrest neccessarily results
from these inconsistencies of purpose.
Either write with intelligence or write
for television.

Business and Economics Freshman
Phi Sigma Kappa Fraternity

Just a few comments from some
Kappa Alpha Southern Belles.

Q.What bothered you the most
about (Susan) Teeter‘s little sister
article (Kernel Nov.2)?

A. Beth Willoughby: “Ms. Teeter is
supposed to be a ‘staff writer.“yet she
wrote an obviously one-sided editorial
and printed it as a feature article. She’s
no journalist.“

A. Mary Buckner: “The article
made almost no mention of any of the
positive aspects of little sisters. of
which there are many.“

A. Kathy Fordc: “Ms.Teeter seemed.

to view little sisters as slaves. On the
contrary. as little sisters no demands

are made upon us. We only give the
time we wish to volunteer.“

A. Pam Stratton: “Ms.Teeter
criticized something that has become a
second home to me. The fraternity
house is somewhere I can always go
and feel comfortable. I need this since I
live more than 200 miles from home."
Submitted by Kathleen Forde
Physical Therapy freshman.

(EDITOR‘S NOTE: The Kernel
maintains that Susan Teeter‘s article
concerning little sister organizations
(Kernel, Nov. 2) was objective and has
found no reason to doubt the accuracy
of the facts or quoted information.

The information used in the story
was gathered through telephone
interviews with members of little sister
organizations. coordinators. and
fraternity presidents or spokesmen.
Teeter also met with Interfratemity
(‘ouncil and Panhellenic Council
advisers in their offices.

Fraternity representatives were
asked three identical questions. the
answers of which made up the body of
the story: “Are you going to have little
sisters this year?.“ “Why do you have
them (or why not)?“ and “What do
they do?”

The editors have found no reason to
believe that Teeter approached the

 

 

 

 

story with any preconceived opinions
and that her article accurately
represents the information gathered in
her research.

Several letters appearing on the
editorial page have suggested the
Kernel is “anti-Greek." The paper does
not. in any way. actively slant its
articles against Greek organizations or
their activities. Members of
fraternities and sororities are involved
in all phases of the Kernel. including
production, advertising, circulation,
reporting and editing. Teeter herself is
a member of Delta Gamma sorority, a
fact which did not enter into her
assignment to the story.

The Kernel has never promised that
the coverage given to any group or
activity will always be favorable. The
position of the paper is to report the
news and opinions of the campus as
accurately as it can. The editors expect
Kernel reporters to be professional in

their outlook and writing of each story '

to which they are assigned. The Kernel
feels these standards were met in the
little sister story.)

Doubts responses

I am pleased that things have
evolved to the point where University
of Kentucky officials at least have to
answer questions publically about
their link (as I described it in the
Village Voice). or “arrangement.” as
some would prefer to define it. with the
CIA. But to anyone who had the
opportunity to research U K‘s financial
and political connections and to
witness recent manifestations of the
institution's predilection for doing
precisely what the CIA would deem
profitable. these official responses are
to be taken as seriously as “official"
body counts from Iran.

The CIA is to campuses only slightly
more decorous than it is to foreign
nations. Documents have shown that
the agency regularly engag-
es in covert activities on American
campuses. often at the will of
university officials. As is par for the
subversive course. these officials have
standard denials available.

As the latest issue of New Times
magazine points out. there have been
“requests from some 80 universities for
agency files concerning clandestine

  

recruitment of students and faculty for‘
CIA operatives.“ In fact. as the article
explains. the CIA has taken to inviting
University officials to the agency‘s
headquarters to “woo" them. and
according to a CIA spokesperson.
“talk about our many common
interests.“ Has Dr. Singletary any
plans to travel to Langley. Va?

An intelligence agency which has
plotted to kill world leaders. spied on
Americans. trains secret police such as
Iran‘s SAVAK. violates the US.
Constitution by keeping its budget
secret. and is responsible for many of
the strategic blunders which have cost
tens of thousands of lives and billions
of dollars. has no place on campus.

If UK officials were genuine abut
wanting to keep CIA ativities on
campus open to public scrutiny. they
would join those 80 other institutions
in demanding public disclosure. Until
then. think very carefully about what
you say to your professor.

It is my contention. and probably
the contention of the whole student
body. that the placing of pay
telephones in the library is a rip-off.
Up until now. we have enjoyed the
service of free phones. The library. to
my knowledge. is the only place on
campus where students could place
free local calls. I find it hard to believe
that the University doesnt have the

funding to supply these phones.

The free service came in handy for
many students needing help from a
professor while studying in the library.
Phones. of course. are used for other
reasons. like making calls to friends
during a break in studying. Calling
other places on campus used to be
convenient. but now at a dime a call. it
becomes increasingly difficult.

I believe that punishing the whole
student body because of the actions of -
a few is ridiculous. Most of the students
population respected the use of the
phones and the abuse of the policies
was limited to a few. The University
could have taken less drastic measures.
such as placing all outside calls
through the University operators.

Foot-in-mouth

Although it is good that the
Kentucky Kernel does consider books
a part of art and entertainment. it is
sad to see the type of book review it
prints. It really doesn‘t matter who
(Ellen) Mizell is. but it does matter
that she attempts to destroy. although
unsuccessfully. one of the literary
giants of the 20th Century: Vladimar
Nabokov.

Why. for one thing. is she reviewing
Pale Fire a book so well received and
finely criticized since I962? And does
she understand Pale Fire is an
excellent paradigm of the “anti-
novel." which is a reaction to the
“sleazy thriller“ that she accuses it of
being? Does she realize that she has
fallen into one of Nobokov‘s traps.
which is the attack of the obvious.

Pale Fire is not a work of profound
importance in Nabokov‘s career. but it
is a pivotal point in the accessibility of
Nobokav to the unwary English (and
Amegican) reader. It is quite obvious
that Mizell thought that it was
pretentious. It is a parody of pretense.
And it is also quite apparent that she is
jealous of his ability to create an
atmosphere so foreign to the
sophomoric ways - of the philistine.
Nabokov is a master of the tounge-in-
cheek parody. whereas M’tzell seems to
be the foot-in-mouth master.
