Publish or perish

Several
Opinions

at UK

By SHELIA WISE
Kernel Staff Writer

PUBLISH OR PERISH.

The words are used to represent an issue
that for many years has been of recurring
interest on college campuses throughout
the nation.

The issue is, briefly, whether a professor
be required to publish the findings of his
research in order to retain his position.

CONCERN ABOUT the “publish or
perish” issue reached a high at UK in the
fall of 1970. Resulting from some student
unrest and dissatisfaction among faculty
members, a report was commissioned to
an ad hoc committee by the University
Senate Council.

The committee, chaired by Dr. Paul
Street, was given the task of informing the
Senate of “various considerations”
relating to the appropriate balance among
the teaching, research and service func-
tions in the University. It reported its
findings in a document generally known as

the balance report.
During the course of the interviews, the

“mission of the University" was men-
tioned. It included the following points
relevant to the “publish or perish" issue.

THE BALANCE REPORT accords the
University the initial responsibility of

“generating.
knowledge in society. It also calls for a
“combination of emphases” among the
three main functions of the University
(teaching, research and publication, and
service), and carries the additional
responsibility of being the only institution
of learning in the state having the “legal
responsibility" concerning graduate
education for the doctorate.

The question of balance—the percentage

"zand disseminating”

of time spent during the year by a

professor upon each of the three major
functions of the University——is an im-
portant factor in the “publish or perish"
issue.

The amount of time to be spent on each
may vary from department to depart-
ment. Many departments call for an an—
nual or bi-annual discussion between the
department head and each faculty
member within that department.

This procedure, suggested by the
balance report, allows the professor to
indicate in which direction his interests lie,

and to work out (ideally) a plan of action
mutually satisfactory to both the in-
dividual professor and the department
head.

AN EQUAL BALANCE. contrary to
some expectations, is not necessarily the
best course to follow. Dr. Daniel Reedy,
acting dean of undergraduate studies,
feels the average UK faculty member does
not devote a great deal of his time to
service. Rather, he spends a greater
percentage of his time on teaching and
research.

Dr. Paul Street, former head of the
committee concerning the balance report,
agrees that complete balance is not
necessarily desirable in each professor.
Street, however, takes the view that in this
age of specialization “we all have to
specialize," though there is a place for a
“few generalists.”

When discussing the issue, those in-
terviewed almost unanimously used the
phrase “publish or perish" for con-
venience, not because they considered it
an accurate summation of the issue in its
pure form.

WASHINGTON — Officials of the
country’s 100 biggest defense contractors
gave more than $5.4 million to President
Nixon's re-election campaign last year,
Rep. Les Aspin said Sunday.

Aspin said the figure represents only the
known contributions, but he suggested
there may be more unreported. He said he
is asking the Senate Watergate committee
to look into the possiblity of still secret
gifts.

O SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A
Democratic member of the state Fran-
chise Tax Board says he’ll challenge
President Nixon's tax status under which
the chief executive paid no California
income tax for the period of his
presidency.

”I was amazed at the report,” said
William M. Bennett, referring to the White
House statement that said Nixon was a
resident of the District of Columbia—not
California-efor income tax purposes.

0 KUWAIT -- Arab oil ministers said
Sunday they will cut back oil production by
another 5 per cent in January, but pledged
to lift their total imbargo against the
United States as soon as Israel starts
pulling out of occupied Arab lands.

The pledge issued in this wealthy Per.
sian Gulf oil sheikdom stipulated that Arab
oil would resume flowing to the United
States only at the beginning of im-
plementation of a pullout agreement
signed by Israel and guaranteed by
Washington.

The Wisconsin Democrat also said a
pattern to some gifts suggested that some
money may have been from corporate
funds, illegal under federal law.

ASPIN SAID his study is “solid evidence
of the endless trade-off between big
business and the Pentagon. It shows un-
mistakably the stake big business has in
maintaining a bloated military budget."

“When you get right down to it, many
defense contracts are nothing more than
political patronage, and here's the proof,”
he said.

Aspin said he found the gifts “par-
ticularly alarming“ because of the
government contracts held by the donors
involving public money.

“THERE IS EVERY reason to believe
that, in more than a few cases, tax money
has been used to make these con-
tributions,” he said.

Aspin said the largest contributions
were made by oil, electronics and aircraft
companies. The largest item on his list is
$1,039,000, which he said came from of-
ficials of the Gulf Oil Corp., and members
of the Scaife family.

0 WASHINGTON — With the
congressional session nearing an end, the
question of whether, and when, 30 million
Social Security recipients will gain an 11
per cent increase in benefits next ,year
remains unanswered.

The House and Senate have approved a
two-step boost, but they acted on separate
bills. A procedural tangle makes the future
of the two bills in the next two weeks highly
uncertain. Congressional leaders hope to
end the 1973 session Dec. 21.

0 WASHINGTON — Nearly two weeks'
testimony in federal court has raised more
questions than were answered about the
18-minute gap in a subpoenaed Watergate
tape.

Most attention was focused on how it
could have happened. '

0 WASHINGTON -— The United States is
headed toward a food shortage similar to
the current energy crisis, a critic of the
agriculture industry says.

In testimony prepared for a Senate
hearing Monday. Jim Hightower,

IBM was second with $326,545. Tenneco,
the sixth ranking defense contractor and
builder of nuclear craft for the Navy, gave
$307,286, according to Aspin.

OTHER FAMILIAR NAMES on the list
include: Litton Industries, $226,187; RCA,
$172,636; American Motors, $159,577;
Standard Oil of California, $157,500; Ford,
$133,441; Du Pont, $129,675; Standard Oil
of New Jersey (Exxon), $119,373, and
General Motors, $93,247.

Additional government contractors,
whose officials or employes gave smaller
amounts. include: General Dynamics,
McDonnell Douglas, Flying Tiger airlines,
Goodyear, General Telephone, Texaco,
Hughes, Lockheed, Gulf & Western,
Westinghouse. Motorola, ITT, General
Electric, Shell Oil, Sperry Rand, Xerox,
Bendix and Chrysler.

Aspin said nearly two-thirds of the
money, $3.2 million, was given before the
April 7, 1972, starting date of the new law
requiring reporting of contributions and
was revealed under court order. He said
the $5.4-million total was “probably just
the tip of the iceberg.“

coordinator of the Food Action Campaign,
said monopolistic trends in the food in-
dustry are leading to a shortage of crisis
proportions.

O BRUSSELS — Secretary of State
Henry A. Kissinger thanked Holland and
Portugal Sunday for their support during
the Middle East War and arranged to
dispatch an energy expert to help the
Dutch through the Arab oil boycott.

Kissinger‘s meetings with Max van der
Stoel. the Dutch foreign minister, and Rui
Patricio of Portugal spotlighted the deep
divisions between the United States and its
other European allies.

Beating the crisis

Several modern-day Ben Franklins, that revolutionary
electrical kite-flyer with many inventions to his credit, have
found ways to beat the energy crunch.

From users of electrical and battery powered vehicles to
those preferring the original type of horsepower found only
in the buggy or carriage, Americans are realigning their
lives to help stymie the crisis.

Some methods of beating the crisis are entertaining.
Others, like relaxing air pollution standards or disregar-
ding strip-mining regulations will cause more harm in the
long-run than providing good. It’s taken this country too
long to get decent legislation protecting the environment, to
revoke these rules for an emergency we can conquer in
other ways would be self-defeating.

Members of the Indiana University community have
proved voluntary conservation of energy is a viable means
of at least easing the bite of the crisis.

Last winter IU initiated a conservation campaign to cut
down on the consumption of wasted energy. Posters asking
that all unnecessary lights and dripping faucets be turned
off were partly responsible for a savings of $151,688 in
electricala nd water bills for the first six months of 1973.

The environment also made off with gains as an

, estimated 181 tons of sulphur dioxides and 60 tons of nitrous
oxides never reached the air.

A concerted effort by members of this University com-
munity could yeild the same results this winter. On top of
immediate savings we could also reprogram ourselves to
cut down on waste altogether.

This method of fighting the crisis, rather than increasing

coal production with complete disregard of the land, will be
more beneficial to future Americans, the land and its

resources.

Paper pitch ins

A campus organization, UK Recycling,
has placed the curious looking white boxes
at locations on campus unanimously
decided to be most noticeable, and most
strategic relating to maximizing input.
These rather handsome and efficient
boxes are actually receptacles for to-be-
recycled newspapers. Soon, more boxes
are scheduled to make their debut, and
will be discovered lurking near Kernel
stands in cafeterias, for example, or just
sitting there in dorms begging for
newspapers. We of UK Recycling hope
that you will “pitch in” your used (or
misused) newspapers to these boxes.
Thank you.

NEW YORK —- The first anti—Semitic
bumper sticker was seen around exit 58 of
the Long Island Expressway last week. It
said, “WE WANT OIL, NOT JEWS”, and
thereby suggested that the time could
come when an energy-crisis George
Wallace will inflict himself on us.

An anti-Semitic demagogue could not
ask for a better set of circumstances. Here
is an apparent Jewish cause for a most
painful effect—provided people can be led
to believe that the Arabs’ shutting off as
much as 13 per cent of our oil supply can
result in an energy deficit that may run to
25 per cent of our needs.

However, careful arithmetic may not
prevail when the cold, the inconvenience
and the unemployment hits and the oil
companies and the Nixon Administration
are looking around for somebody to blame.
A man who could try to palm off the blame
for the tapes on faithful Rose Mary will be
looking for other fall guys to take the heat
(or the cold) of the fuel shortage.

THIS UGLY GAME would not be so easy
to play if a loud public point had been
made of the fact that not all Jews are
Zionists and not all Zionists are Jews.
Much of the noisiest pre-Israel clatter has
come from non-Jews.

Their motives were laudable. Years ago,
some but not all of the Arabstates did have

it in mind to drive Zionism into the
Mediterranean, but that era is long since
over. What started out as a noble defense
of a new homeland of the Jewish refugees
we wouldn’t accept here has, in the
passage of time, turned into encouraging
Tel Aviv to overawe, intimidate and
conquer its neighbors.

A good policy was run into the ground,
but we did it ourselves. We plied the
Israelis with arms like fraternity boys
trying to get their dates drunk, with the
result that we had the 1967 Israeli blit-
zkrieg and the subsequent refusal to give
up an inch of the conquered ground.

MOST AMERICANS supported this
policy not because we particularly cared,
butbecause we didn’t think it would cost us
anything much. If we thought about it at
all we figured we had nothing to fear from
the Arabs; we assumed they needed our
dollars more than we needed their oil. As
with Vietnam, we went along with a policy
that contradicted common sense, morals
and our national interest, but that’s why
inatention and gullibility will get you every
time.

As the costs rose in Vietnam, our support
flagged. The turnabout in sentiment is
coming quicker in the Middle East
because we’re feeling the costs sooner.
Even though the Arabs couldn‘t get us out

of the mess if they wanted to, guess how
much pro-Israeli support there will be this
spring when gas hits a dollar a gallon.

The Administration has caught on to this
already. Secretary of State Henry
Kissinger is making noises to suggest that
we are now using our leverage on Tel Aviv
to make them pull back behind their
boundaries. Naturally, the Israelis don’t
like that idea. Thus Nixon and Kissinger
may have to choose between an open break
or getting into the same bind they found
themselves in with Thieu when he was
causing almost as much trouble as the
North Vietnamese.

SHOULD NIXON and Kissinger have to
publicly accuse Israel of stubborness, it
will be that much easier for the anti-
Semitic riff ~raff to make speeches. Instead
of heeding them we might ask for some
explanation from the White House.

In 1956, when the British, French and
Israelis invaded Egypt, Eisenhower would
have nothing to do with it. In fact, we used
our influence to force the three of them to
getout of Egypt and give back what they’d
conquered. Why have we gone the other
way under the next three Presidents, but
particularly this last one?

Why did Nixon and Kissinger wait until
1973 and the fuel shortage to begin to
pressure Israel back into its proper shape?

Anti-semitic demagogue could rise l Nicholas Von Hoffman

use. Ieeteres India

This should have been one of the first items
on the incoming Nixon Administration’s
agenda in 1969. By delay we encouraged
Israeli in transigence and to that extent are
responsible for this last war.

BUT 1F WE were going to give Tel Aviv
a blank check for military aid, a check our
depleted national bank account could ill
afford, then why didn’t we let them cash
it? Why did we stop the check at the bank
and force them into a cease-fire just when
they had turned their military situation
around?

It makes no sense to give people guns
and tell them not to shoot them, but then
look at what we’ve done with the Arabs.
We have driven them at American-
supplied Israeli gunpoint into the arms of
the Russians. Even the Kingdom of Saudi
Arabia, the most anti-Communist country
in the world, is cozying up to Moscow.

Now, having brokered this Russo-Arabic
misalliance, we are having hysterics about
Moscow's penetration of the Eastern
Mediterranean and the Middle East. There
are even mutterings about a terminal
atomic showdown.

THE ANSWERS T0 these questions
won’t be found on scurvy, anti-Semitic
bumper stickers, and let's hope the people
riding in their car pools realize it.

Does President Nixon have divine

By BILL MEWES

At the present time, I feel the tem-
perature rising within me concerning our
country’s beloved President Nixon. I at-
tempted to check out this phenomenon by
trying to recall recent Kernel “letters to
the editor” to see if the campus tem-
perature was also rising. Since the ther-
mometer I used would not even register, I
decided that it was high time to do some
writing.

It seems that as far as Watergate and
President Nixm goes, the country, or at
least UK, is becoming apathetic. A really
big issue here at UK seems to be dormitory
regulations. This will surely shake the
very fiber of the United States and have an
impact felt world wide. 80 why should we
students bother about our august leader
Nixon who surely knows much more than
we do about how to run our country. The
fact that he is setting a grave precedent
which is shifting the role of president from
the traditional American one to a sort of
divine right of kings whereby the president
will be accountable to no one on earth
should not concern us.

NIXON HAS demonstrated the capacity
of a resourceful chief executive to ob-
struct, delay and defeat any attempt to
investigate charges of misconduct within
his administration. Will any future
president be able able to likewise abuse
the public trust almost without limit?

Even if President Nixon is totally in-
nocent in the Watergate affair, he is
establishing a precedent that we cannot
live with and remain free. Impeachment is
a long, grave process that requires first of
all a clear, provable case that the majority
of the country will accept as legitimate. It
cannot be bulldozed through.

Investigation of possible grounds for
impeachment is under way by the House
Judiciary Committee. This investigation is
a necessary step before the committee can
make recommendations either for or
against impeachment. Impeachment
procedures are much like those of a
criminal investigation. The investigators

opinion from inside and outside the university community

(the House Judiciary Committee mem~
bers) have to determine on what, if any,
grounds a case can be prosecuted. Once
they have determined that there is a clear,
strong, legal case for removal of the
President they would recommend im-
peachment to members of the House.
Impeachment, which is similar to an in-
dictment, requires a majority vote of the
House. Then the case would be argued
before the Senate by a group of
Representa tives acting as the prosecution.
Conviction of the President can occur only
by vote of two-thirds of the Senators and
voting.

ACCORDING TO the American Civil
Liberties Union, last summer 25 per cent
of the American people favored im-
peachment. By October, without any
organized effort, the per cent of
Americans favoring impeachment had
risen to somewhere in the 30’s. Although
investigation and impeachemt should
proceed without partisan overtones,
Congress will not carry this through
without the support of the American
people.

What are you doing to bring about
reform in American politics? What are
your Congressmen doing? What type of
remedial action are you in favor of and
working to accomplish? Have you written
your Representative and-or Senators?
Locally our Representative is John
Breckinridge, House of Representatives,
Washington, DC, 20515 and our Senators
are Walter Dee Huddleston and Marlow
Cook, U.S. Senate, Washington, D.C. 20510.

The willingness of the 93rd Congress to
face up to the harsh implications of
Watergate corruption will be measured by
their readiness to enact some very
specific measures bearing on money and
secrecy. These measures must also have
a true independent authority which can
enforce them. Campaign donations and
other donations should be limited. Strict
“conflict of interest” laws should be

passed. Watergate might be a great
blessing if true reform comes out of it. The

country must insist that the weaknesses in
our system of government that led to the
Watergate scandals must be changed. The
limits of executive privilege are going to
have to be explored and defined through
court action.

IN THE U.S., scandals have ended
thousands of political careers, toppled
administrations, shattered political
machines and altered the structure of
government. In order for this to happen
though, the people, the voter, must know
what is going on. The greatest ally of the
citizen in this battle is a free press. Nixon
tries to down the press. Naturally, since he
doesn’t want the truth known. Recently
Common Cause, a non-partisan citizens’
group, stated that two independent studeis
were made of the performance of the
media on Watergate and the studies
showed that the media has told the public
the truth. Their errors have been rare.
Without the media we would still be in
Vietnam, we would still have Agnew and
we would still be ignorant of Watergate.
No wonder Nixon is against the press.

Besides writing our Congressmen, what
can we do about Watergate, impeachment,
and government reform? For one thing we
could join a permanent group which
lobbies year round for government
reform. Such a group is Common Cause.
This group has grown rapidly in the few
years that it has been in existence. It now
has the strength to be a major source of

influence upon the government both on the,

national level and on the state level. If you
wish more information write Common
Cause, 2030 M St., NW, Washington, DC.
20036.

Another mode of action is to sign a
petition. The Kentucky Civil Liberties
Union, 134 Breckinridge Lane, Louisville,
Kentucky 40207 is sending out Im-
peachment Petitions. This petition reads
as follows:

WHEREAS, THERE is now substantial
public evidence of President Richard

 

 

 

 

Nixon‘s participation in high crimes and
misdemeanors :

Whereas. these acts—including specific,
proved violations of the rights of political
dissent; usurpation of Congressional war-
making powers: establishment of a per-
sonal secret police which committed
crimes; attempted interference in the trial
of Daniel Ellsberg; distortion of the
system of justice; and perversion of other
federal agencies—have violated the civil
liberties of the people of the United States
and the rule of law:

Further, the Country can withstand the
resignation of the Vice-President; the
Country can withstand the impeachment
of the President; the Country cannot
withstand a system of presidential power
unlimited by the Bill of Rights;
Rights;

THEREFORE. “I: the undersigned call
upon the House of Representatives of the
Congress of the United States to initiate
impeachment proceedings against
Richard M. Nixon.

Recently I heard that a man who is anti-
Nixon was afraid to sign an impeachment
petition. If this is true. then freedom in
America is on the way out. Are you afraid
of making Nixon‘s unfriendly list. of being
investigated by the FBI or the CIA? If
so.then time is running out.

To sum up. I favor impeachment of
President Nixon and political reform. To
accomplish this. I favor writing our
Congressmen. signing an impeachment
petition, and joining a permanent group to
engage in the continual struggle for a
better America.

CHRISTMAS I

By LIDA HENDERSON
Kernel Staff Writer

Elections held earlier this week
caught the newly elected
president of the Graduate and
Professional Students
Association (GPSA) unprepared
to outline a plan of action for the
upcoming term.

The basic problem of GPSA is
the “lack of participation among
graduate students," said Rick
Deitchman, president. He
acknowledged concern over the
fact many of the active members
will soon be leaving and men-
tioned the need for younger
members to insure “continued
involvement.”

“MY PERSONAL goal,”
Deitchman said, “is to increase
the involvement, knowledge and
participation among professional
and graduate students.”

Several motions were passed at
the meeting regarding a need for
investigations into billings and
collection procedures concerning
the graduate student and the
inefficient posting of rules which
apply to doctoral dissertations
and master's theses.

Deitchman described the ac~
tions of GPSA as “not generally
spectacular, but effective,” and
said some things with which
GPSA has been involved in the
past are “increasing stipends for
graduate teaching assistants to
cover the $100 tuition increase,

and changing the language
requirement for graduate
students—making it optional at
master's level.

“GPSA WAS in charge of the
Student Health Insurance
Program until it was included in
the Blue Cross program," he
said.

Established as a represen-
tative organization of all
graduate and professional
students, GPSA has been in

existence over three years and is
financed by the University.

”The issue that started the
organization,” Deitchman said,
“centered around parking
stickers for graduate teaching
assistants."

EACH GRADUATE depart-
ment and professional school is
permitted to elect one
representative to GPSA and
those departments with more
than 40 students are permitted
two council members.

Student record law
to be evaluated

By WALLY HIXSON
Kernel Staff Writer

Student Government and the
UK administration will meet
Dec. 12, to work out changes each
would like to see in the statute
regarding the confidentiality of
student records.

The current law, KRS 164.283,
enacted in 1970, allows student
records to be released to “any
federal, state, or local en-
forcement agency and any court
of law." A student's discipline
record and psychological test
results may also be released.

AN UNSUCCESSFUL attempt
to change the law was made in
1972, but the administration
regarded that bill as a severe
limitation to internal use of
student records. Dr. Robert

Zumwinkle, vice president for
student affairs, said, “The ad-
ministration exercised power and
got the bill killed."

Zumwinkle also said the ad-
ministration and students did not
try to reach an agreement in 1972.
His current effort is to reach a
compromise.

David Mucci, administrative
assistant to SG. said the new
amendment is ”less restrictive"
than its predecessor. “It won't
hamper the flow of proper in-
formation,” he said.

MIKE WILSON. SG's director
of student affairs. said many
records are “too easily

Senate convenes
College of Education seeks limitation

College of Education will at-
tempt to receive approval for its
limited enrollment proposal
when the University Senate
meets for the last time this
semester at 3 pm. today.

The proposal calls for
limitations on the number of
students entering the Teacher
Education Program at the junior
level. This would include students
who have completed freshman
and sophomore years and
Educational Psychology and
Counseling 202.

TO ENTER THE teaching
program the student must apply
and meet admissions criteria to
be established by the program
faculty with the approval of the
college faculty.

The proposal was first
presented at the Nov. 12 Senate
meeting. After one hour of debate
the meeting was adjourned when
a quorum vote revealed there
were not enough Senators present
for a vote.

Reasons for opposing the
proposa at the last Senate
meeting were: specific criteria
for selection has not been
established, the program would
not limit enrollment at the fresh-
man level but upon completion of
the sophomore year and some

feeling that the need for
limitations was not sub-
stantiated.

GEORGE DENEMARK.

Education dean, has supplied

supplemental information to all
Senators outlining background
and reasons for submitting the
recommendation. At the first
suggestion of the proposal, only
the exact wording was presented
to Senators.

Other agenda items include a
proposal to abolish the six-week
summer school session and
various rules and governing
regulations changes.

Other information to be
provided the Senators include
selected excerpts from other
state and land grant institutions
concerning admissions standards
and limited enrollment.

DR. MICHAEL ADELSTEIN.
Senate chairman, said it is
doubtful if all of the agenda items
would be completed at the
meeting.

Students offered
program in Europe

The Summer Program in
Europe is once again being of-
fered for 1974 and organizers of
the sessions hope the program
will be more popular than last
year, when it was cancelled due
to lack of interest.

The program includes two
weeks of European travel—one
each before and after the study
period—and four weeks of studies
at the University of Cluj in
Romania.

THERE ARE some seven
different areas of study, plus nine
areas of independent study,
although exact courses taught
will be determined by the
demand. All courses will be
taught by UK professors, with
occasional guest lectures by
Romanian scholars.

All students in good standing
entering either their sophomore,
junior, senior or first graduate
year from accredited universities
or colleges in the United States or
