Today's entering freshmen display new altitudes

By I).\N (‘Rl'Tt‘llER
Kernel Staff Writer

In 1967. 130 per cent of entering l' K fresh—
men agreed “strongly or somewhat" that
women's activities are best in the home. In
1974 only 30.6 per cent of entering fresli~
men agreed with that statement.

in 1967 40.9 per cent of freshmen men
entering l'K said chances were “very
good” they would join a social fraternity.
In 1974 that percentage had dropped to 19.7
per cent.

These and other statistics on changes in
attitudes. values and politics of entering
freshmen. nationally and at UK. are
displayed in the booklet “(‘hanging
Profiles of Entering Freshmen." The
booklet was sponsored and prepared by
the Office of the Dean of t'ndergraduate
Studies.

The study. completed in September. is
based on data compiled from American
(‘ouncil of Education (AGE) surveys given
to entering freshmen from 1967 to 1974.
Suryeys attempt to measure students'

nackgrounds and social and political at-
titudes.

John Stephenson undergraduate studies
de an called the study a ‘trend analysis."
He said the data had never before been
put together so you can look at differences
over the years. It permits a view of trends
of our freshmen as compared to freshmen
nationally.”

Some of the more dramatic attitude
shifts revealed by the study were:

.25 per cent drop (from 74 per cent in
1970 to 49 percent in 1974) in the number of
l‘K freshmen responding that “chances
are very good they will be satisfied with
college.“ Nationally. the percentage drop
was 12.1 per cent over the same period
«tron1683 per cent in 1970 to 56.2 per cent
in 1974.1
a 31.3 per cent rise tt'rom 14.3 per cent
in 1968 to 45.6 per cent in 1974) in the
number of l'K freshmen agreeing
“strongly or somewhat that marijuana
shou Id be legalized. “ This compares with a
national rise of 24.4 per cent over the same
timcspan.

a 32 per cent drop (from 85.8 per cent
in 1967 to 31.8 per cent in 1974) in the
number of l'K freshmen who consider
"developing a philosophy of life an
essential or very important objective.“
The national percentage drop for the same
question was 21.3 per cent over the same
period.

A general trend—— that entering freshmen
are less interested in politics—as
evidenced by a 19.2 per cent decrease in
those who “consider keeping up with
political affairs an essential or very im—
portant objective.“

But. freshmen appear more interested in
personal rights, the study shows. There
was a consistent decline in students
willingness to approve of college
regulation of students off campus.
regulation of student publications. or the
college‘s right to ban speakers.

Also included in the study is a come
parison of American (‘ollege Testing
Program (ACT) scores both at UK and

nationally from 1968 to 1974. The com-
parison shows that mean composite A("l‘
scores at UK have declined one per cent—
from 22.1 to 21.1—while the national norm
has stayed at 19.4.

Stephenson said he is “not that con-
cerned“ about the slight decline of ACT
scores at UK. “It's a trend that needs
watching,“ he said. “There have been
reports in the press lately on declining SAT
scores and there has been concern about a
decline in students‘ abilities. I don‘t see a
consistent enough pattern between ACTs
and SA'l‘s to be convinced that there is an
actual decline.“

Most data in the booklet is presented
with little or no explanation of possible
causal factors. Stephenson said he “tried
to keep interpretation to a minimum. I
thought it would be more interesting to let
[.mplc tlllt‘l‘pl‘t‘t tor themselves."

Nude
models
uncovered

By KlilTll SHANNON
Kernel Staff Writer

“Will I have to take off my clothes?“

No. the editor assured me. 1 would just
have to find and interview a nude model in
the art department. That was all.

“().K.." I muttered. "I‘ll do it."

I really was not too enthusiastic about
the assignment. I was tired. having just
finished a three-part investigative series
on thearrival of a bag of iodized salt at the
Student ('enter. Nevertheless. I trudged
over to the Fine Arts Building to see what
was coming off.

I spoke first with Secretary Barbara
McKa y who is in charge of registering all
models used in the art department. “We
have no trouble at all getting models." she
said “Right now we have nine signed up.“

Any sex discrimination?

“We have more women than men.“ she
said. “Why don‘t you check over at ar-
chitecture? They use nudes."

My journalist's eyebrow twitched (A
journalist‘s eyebrow always twitches
when he smells a scoop.) “()dd, why would
an architect want a nude?" I thought.
“Ask

“l dm't know." McKay said.

them
Not being one who enjoys having my
thoughts read. I left.

Subsequent interviews with art
department faculty confirmed McKay's
story. I discovered models get paid $4 per
hour for their services. One instructor
even told me what body types he prefers
("fullsome fat is particularly good")
Again I was referred to architecture and
again my eyebrow began to do Swan Lake
on my forehead. l went to the architecture
building to see if I could uncover anything.
My first interviewee asked to see my
notes. He said he didn‘t want to come off
sounding like a damned fool. I refused.

“Just be careful in what you say," I told
him.

He replied: “A figure is capable of an
infinite variety of movement and position
and changing forms. The fact that it is
nude gives a surer appreciation of the
articulations of which it is capable."

And he was scared of sounding like a
damned fool. I thought.

Extensive interviews with architecture
professors revealed that they do indeed
use nudes. The justification for the use is
that it is. in some circles, considered a
good idea for an architect to be able to
draw freehand. The only major difference
between the fine arts and architecture
models is that the architecture people
make $1 more per hour. I was unable to
uncover any performance differences to
justify the pay increase.

Birds and iets don't mix

(.xl’r Birds are heading south
for the winter and despite pre—
cautions they represent a poten—
tial danger to jetliners.

Last Wednesday, a flock of
seagulls sat down on a runway at
New York’s John F. Kennedy
International Airport, refused to
budge when a jumbo jet bore
down upon them and were sucked
into an engine.

The engine caught fire, the
pilot brought the DCIU to a halt
and all 139 persons escaped to
safety. Minutes later, the engine
exploded, ripping the top off the
plane and leaving only a charred
shell.

Jayaprakash Narayan, the first

Indira Gandhi imposed a state of
emergency five months ago. said
Sunday the government wants to

talk with him on ways to end

he would urge the government to

A midday medical bulletin

I was still without a model to

Then I ca me into contact with an
instructor who would allow me to

The interview itself took place

had finished working In an art
class. After hearing all of the
Instructors preach the joys of
"lullsomeness" I expected to see
someone weighing about two
hundred pounds I was wrong.

The girl. though rather shy
about talking to me. said she had
begun modeling in 1971 and had
been doing It part time ever
since, The reason she does it. she
said. is partly because of money.
“But I like it because I like
working with art classes and
being instrumental in what they
do.” she said.

What does she think while she
models?

“The first time I got up there I
was thinkingz‘What in the Hell
are you doing‘?‘ Two minutes
after I struck my first pose, I was
in shock. But I made an ad—
justment.“

She no longer is frightened. She
said the atmosphere of the
classes had changed since she
attended art classes as a student

to maintain an almost inhuman

The model had only one
complaint~ the physical con‘

which houses several Art

said. “The last time l was there
there weretwo busted windows in

She aLso complained about the
lack of privacy in the Reynolds

An
imperial

lpresidency

Former Student Government
(56) President Scott Wendelsdorf
(l97i~73) wrote the SG constitution
which is, with very few exceptions,
still in use today.

Wendelsdorf’s constitution,
which is almost impossible to
change (a tworthirds vote at two
consecutive meetings), practically
established an SG imperial presi»
dency.

The SG president is the Student
Senate chairperson, can take a
month to veto a bill and, if all else
fails, can call a General Student
Assembly (GSA) anytime he
wants.

The GSA has ”the power of
resolution with regard to SG policy,
University affairs and any other
matters of concern to the Universi-
ty community,” according to the
constitution. A GSA can be call

anytime the president gets in the
mood, ”all full and part-time
students” can attend its meetings
and the only prerequisite is that
”all meetings shall be adequately
announced and open to the public.”

30 if the president doesn’t like
what the senate is doing all he has
to do is call a GSA and stack it. The
constitution remains silent as to
the exact power of the GSA resolu
lions, so it’s pretty much left up to
the president to decide their im~
pact.

Even though a dictatorial execu-
tive branch is undesirable, under a
president like Wendelsdorf an im-
perial presidency meant some-
thing very different from an impe-
rial Jim Harralson, current SG
president. Wendelsdorf was a pro‘
gressive leader and UK students
are still feeling the effects of the

— 'Transendental meditation transcends

many changes he instituted.

Harralson, however, is conser-
vative and has used his veto
powers and the GSA to impose his
reactionary views on the senate.

For iust that reason Arts and
Sciences Senator Marion Wade is
planning to introduce a constitu-
tional amendment to eliminate
GSA. But because the constitution
is so hard to change and Harralson
will obviously fight against the
amendment it's doubtful it will
pass. ‘

Harralson should remember that
he campaigned against imposing
his personal will on SG. The senate 3
should realize it’s now clear Har-
ralson is going to do anything he
can to impose his will on $6 actions
and should take that into account
when voting on Wade’s amendment
tonight.

present education system

By Michael Fugate
and Jim GlockneLr

Education aims at altering the mind of
man to enable him to accomplish all he
would like to accomplish in the great field
of life. Education should necessarily
Liable a man to make use of his lull
iotential in the field of his body, mind and
spirit. But itshould also develop in him the
ability to make the best use of his
personality, surroundings and circumstan-
ces so that he may accomplish the
maximum in life for nimse'f anc for all
others. There are tremendous possibilities
latent in these fields whit 'i are never
fathomed or unfolded by students during
their student life, which is the most
precious time for building the career of
man.

The present system of education, in spite
of the great advances in science and
technology and the ability of modern man
to know the vast galaxies and world of
atoms, is not able to provide completeness
6 knowledge. The thirst for knowledge is
not satisfied. A man knows something of
history, something of economics, some-
thing of physics and of the other branches
(1 learning; but the field of knowledge is so
vast that it is not possible to know
everything just through studying the
different disciplines. However, the total
value of knowledge can be gained on the
level of our awareness—by expanding the
conscious capacity of the mind. Transcen-
dental meditation (TM) accomplishes this
mental expansion very naturally.

There have been hundreds of articles on
the TM technique, many books written and
research published that conclusively veri~
fys that transcendental meditation makes
aperson feel good TM develops the ability
to think clearly. This is the basis of success
in any field of life. What you accomplish or
achieve in life is very closely dependent on
mod thinking, making good decisions, etc.

TM is proven to provide very deep

relaxation to the physical body. This
deeply rested state eliminates blocks of
fatigue in the system. An individual is
awake for 16-18 hours, he becomes tired,
he sleeps...Sleep eliminates fatigue of the
day and revitalizes the nervous system so
it can maintain a working state c‘
consciousness for another 16 or 18 hours,
then more sleep and the cycle continues.
TM gives deeper rest to eliminate deepen
rooted fatigue. The nervous system be,
comes fatigued from over-experiencing. If
the parents have a big fight it creates a
very tense atmosphere producing a mental
block in the child. Not only mental, but a
physical block is also implanted by deep
rest. When the body relaxes it naturally
eliminates foreign substances, germs,
etc., so most obviously the deep rest
gained in TM is most beneficial for y0ur
body. Health improves, better thinking,
letter health leads to a life of achievement
and fulfillment. ’

The truth of life is that it is ioyfuthM
[rings that experience to the individi'fql'. It
is not a philosophy or religion. It does‘hot
require that you change your belief or say
that life is beautiful and joyful, only that
you meditate 15-20 minutes in the morning
and evening and eventually that condition
will develop as a permanent reality,
whether you believe it or not. You can
jump off the diving board and believe all
you want that the law of gravity is a lot of
bunk, but chances are extremely good that
you will go in a downward motion quite
naturally. In the same way, regular
meditation naturally allows the individual
to gravitate to inner fulfillment by
realizing his full potential by eliminating
deep rooted stress and fatigue through
(hep rest. Gravity is valuable in keeping
more feet on the gr0und. TM is valuable in
seeing to it that happy loving people are
attached to the feet.
