Skipping classes may be be necessary
occasionally, but too many absences can
carry penalties, and freshman composition
is no exception.

“We felt that incoming freshmen would
be tempted to skip classes because they
were unable to handle the freedom of
classes which college allows,“ said Al
Crabb, assistant chairman of the English
department. And, once behind, it's hard for
a student to catch up, he added.

So, a few years ago, the English
department decided to divide absences in
freshman composition into excessive and
ﬂagrant ones. Excessive absences could

bring a reduction in grade, ﬂagrant ones
can get an E. Classes included in the
decision are ENG 101. 102, 105 and 203.

Excessive absences allow a student to
miss four times a semester if the class
meets on Monday, Wednesday and Friday
or three times in Tuesday and Thursday
classes. Flagrant absences allow nine
misses for “MWF” classes and six for
“'I‘TH“. However. if all absences are ex-
cused, a student will receive an I (in-
complete).

Stressing the importance of attendance,
Dr. Kenneth Davis, director of freshman
English said. “Freshman composition is
the teaching of skills that increase writing
ability and can only be developed in a
classroom."

Better attendance sought in freshman composition

According to Crabb, on the first or second
day of classes, students are handed a sheet,
which states the decision and explains it.

But, Davis said there is no real way of
enforcing the rule or to know if it‘s really
working.

“I wouldn't want to strictly enforce the
rule because it would ruin the close student-
teacher relationship that exists in fresh-
man composition," he said. “There's no
realil way of forcing teachers to abide by the
ru e."

Davis said he thought that the policy has
been effective but there’s no way of
knowing. “We require teachers to fill out a
sheet and list the ES they give," he said.
“Less than 4 percent are from absences,"

From AP Dispatches

The University has decided
against fighting a government
regulation on medical school ad-
missions rather than lose federal
grants distributed urrder the Health
Professions Educational Assistance
Act.

By doing so, UK has been in-
structed to leave Open seven of 108
places for American medical
students who are transferring from
foreign medical schools after two
years of study.

The University has applied for
exemption from having to accept the
students, saying that the the Medical
School‘s enrollment is already more
than it was built to accommodate.
Without federal funds, however,
UK’s program would be under
hardship, according to Dr. Roy
Jarecki, associate dean for
academic affairs.

The regulation, an amendment to

There are about 8,000 US. citizens

564 of those will be transfering to
American schools next year.

Officials at schools in the United
States opposed the amendment
because it prevented them from
using their own admissions stan-
dards and tests in deciding which
students to accept.

Although UK has accepted
transfer students from US. and
foreign schools in the past, the
University has applied its own
standards toward all applicants,
said Jarecky.

In filling the positions, the number
of which is outlined by the Depart-
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare, the schools are prohibited
from considering a student’s
academic qualifications or place of

money rather than lose control over
the admission of foreign transfer
students. The amounts of aid
received by the schools ranged from
$322,151 for the University of
California at Los Angeles to
$1,553,438 for the University of
Illinois Medical Center.

The 108 medical schools who
agreed to comply with the regulation
will share about $84.1 million, a
breakdown of about $1,500 per
student. Thirty schools were not told
to reserve space for transfers
because they have already fulfilled
the regulation's admissions
requirements of the transfer
students.

The amendment requiring the
schools to accept Americans from
foreign schools was adopted under
presure from the parents of students
who were not admitted to US. in-
stitutions.

Intensive lobbying from
protesting medical schools led the
US. House of Representatives to
pass legislation that would drop the
present stringent transfer
requirements and substitute a
provision requiring the schools to
increase the size of their third—year
classes to make room for the
students.

The House bill would have the
effect of letting the institutions pick
their transfer students rather than
submit to federal assignment of
students.

Earlier this month, the Senate
approved outright repeal of the
foreign medical school transfer
requirement. It is unclear whether
the two houses will be able to agree
on a compromise measure in time to
affect the students and schools now

year.

NAHARIYA, ISRAEL— The little
girl sat on the couch on the other side
of the room and stared at the people
with large eyes that had no ex-
pression.

On a small television set on a table
in the living room, Anwar Sadat had
just started to speak. “Do you know
who this is on the television?” the
little girl was asked

She said nothing.

The woman sitting next to me
whispered, “She will not talk to you.
She will run away if you talk to her
again. She will not talk to anyone."

“This is the daughter then," I
said.

“Yes this is Rinat," the woman
said.

jimmy
breslin

Her name is Rinat Lupo and she is
11, and two weeks ago her mother
was killed by a Palestinian rocket
attack on this town, 200 kilometers to
the north of Jerusalem. The day
after this atack, Israeli planes
bombed a Palestine Liberation
Organization area in Lebanon, and
the PLO said that 120 were killed. So
all Sunday afternoon, while
politicians on television pretended to
be speaking to each other from
private mountains, the little girl sat
on the couch and told you, without
using her voice, that she lives in a
place where pe0ple kill over the
ownership of no man's land.

Her father and brother had gone to
shul to pray for the dead mother,
who was 35 and a favorite of all the
children on the street. Rinat was
spending the afternoon in the next-
door apartment of Joseph and Elina
Afriat. The Lupo and Afriat apart-
ments are in a new four-story
building on Henrietta Sold Street.
Thr ground floor of the apartment
building has a gray metal door
leading to an air raid shelter. Out-
side the building there is a tin shed
with a bare bulb throwing light on
boxes of oranges and melons. A
man’s head barely shows over the
top of the piles of fruit.

In the apartment, among the
Afriats and several visitors, there
were five small children. Rinat was
the oldest. The children ran through
the neat four-room apartment with a
black and tan puppy. The adults
looked at the television in-
terrnittenly, but were not captured
by it.

“It is supposed to be a great day,"
Elina Afriat said.

Her husband said, “It is not such a
great day now that I hear him talk."
He is a dark-haired 30-year-old who
works in the carpet business.

His wife turned away to light a
cigarette. Rinat got up and walked
out of the room. Elina Afriat said:
“She saw it all happen. She was
outside on the street playing when
the first one hit.”

“Katyusha,” the husband said.
Katyusha is a rocket made in the
Soviet Union.

“You hear the whistle of it and
wait to it for fall " she said.

“I know from the Army; 1 was in
missiles," her husband said. “My
wife did not do the Army. Her
brother was killed in the 1967 war, so
she did not do the Army. But she
knows the sound of the rocket from
having them fall on her.“

The wife said, “The mother ran
outside for the children. She was
giving them hands." Elina held out
her hands. “The two children were
running to her hands. They were
almost touching her when the rocket
came into the street. The mother‘s
head came right off in front of the
children. Just as they were almost
touching her hands. The children
were hurt a little bit. One in the head
and the other in the leg. But the
wounds were very small. It was the
mother who was gone.”

Elina is a slender, long-haired
woman of 30, wearing a stylish green
and white striped sweater. Eye
makeup highlights piercing eyes.
She pointed to Rinat. “Her mother
was the first mother for my
children. My children always ran to
her first. Now I am the first mother
for all the children because there is
no other mother."

Th husband walked over to
wooden blinds that were covering
the front window. He pulled them
back to show pock-marked walls, “It
came all through the house,” he
said. “All the windows in the house
are new. It came through all the
windows. My wife was back there in
the kitchen. If she stood here in this
room, she would be dead."

Another woman said: “The day
before, a rocket killed two people on
the next street. Three years ago, a
terrorist came to the house on the
comer of this street. There was
killed a mother and two kids. She
tried to run away with the children
and the terrorist threw a hand
grenade at her.”

“It is all the same," Afriat said.

There was noise from the next
room, the children’s bedroom. Two
of them were on the floor under a
white crib, reaching for the puppy
that was trying to hide from them.
Then the children called to Rinat,
and Rinat crawled under the crib
with them. Rinat pushed herself
back out from under the crib, stood

up and walked into the living room,
passing in front of the television set.
She held her hand out, she placed a
piece of sharp gray shrapnel in
Elina Afriat’s hand.

“Thank you," Elina said. She
placed the shrapnel in an ashtray
next to her.

The adults resumed watching the
television. Politicians, bathed in
light, telling of the great courage
required to speak words. Listening
are people to whom sudden death
seems like a daily overhead. As
Sadat spoke of the territory that, he
said, Israel must give up as a con-
dition for peace, Afriat rolled his
eyes and the woman clucked.

Rinat walked back into the
bedroom to play some more with the
PUPPY-

On the television now, Menahem
Begin was speaking. At one point
everybody in the room nodded.

“What did he say?” I asked them.

“He said the whole country of
Israel is ready for discussion,"
Joseph Afriat said. “This is very

strange for Begin to talk like that."

“The other people discuss with
Katyusha,” his wife said.

There was a knock on the door,
and into the apartment came a
chubby boy wearing a brown yar-
mulke. Elina Afriat turned to her

|{ editorials 8: canments

Words don't heal wounds

seat and waved at him. She did not
get up for the boy. When one of the
other women got up, Elina made a
face at her that told the woman to
stay where she was. “You don't
make too much bother of him or he
becomes upset,‘ Elina said in a low
vorce.

The boy is named Judah and he is
nine. A chunky man with a square,
rough face looked in, waved and
then stepped back out of the apart-
ment.

“That is the father," somebody
said.

“Doesn’t he want to see Begin?” I
asked.

He cannot watch television for 30
days,” one of the women said.

I went next door. Lupo was sitting
alone at a small dining room table in
his empty, darkened apartment. He
was the only one there who spoke no
English. A man named Shvieky
came in to translate.

“Ask him what he thinks of Sadat
speaking at the Knesset today,” i
said.

Shvieky spoke to Lupo. Lupo
answered in a soft voice, a voice that
did not match his squat powerful
frame.

“He says,” Shvieky said, “that he
can’t think of anything because
everything is so black. He was away
working in a steel plant when his
wife was killed. He said so many saw
his wife killed and he did not. He
says he is not in touch with the
world."

“Where is he from?" I asked.

“Romania,” Shvieky answered.

“How many of his people died
because of war?” I said.

When the translator asked Lupo
the question, Lupo smiled sadly. As
he spoke to the translator, he ticked
off the fingers of each hand then
stopped and threw the hands up.

“He says that in one day the
Germans took his grandmother,
uncles and four cousins to Auschwitz
and killed them right away," the
translator said. “He said that so
many others have died that he would
have to make a list before he could
count. When he was little, he had to
move from town to town so the
Germans would not catch him.”

As I stood up to shake hands and
leave, Lupo spoke rapidly to Sh-
vieky. “He says that three of his
wife’s brothers were killed and that
they put his wife in a concentration
camp. He says she was in this camp
called Schargirt. But she lived, and
she came her to marry him, and
they were just having this family,
they had just moved here to this new
apartment and then she died while
she was taking care of the children.

Next door, in the Afriat apart-
ment, the adults sat in the living
room.

“Do you feel safer after watching
all this?” I asked them.

Elina Afriat, her legs drawn up,
her arms hugging her knees, shook
her head “no." The rest of the people
in the room said they agreed with
her. Elina Afriat reached for her
cigarette and crushed it in the
ashtray that had a piece of shrapnel
in it.

No room on the court,
limited facilities irks jock

By CHRIS BLOCK

I have reached my tolerance point
for this year. I’m thoroughly con-
vinced that this mental institution of
higher learning is as worthless as
mammary glands on a bull hog.

Any damn fool knows the trite
expression “all work and no play
makes jock a dull boy.” After two
and one half years, I have wondered
about the vast preponderance of
dimwits and dullards at UK, par-
ticularly the blunt-headed “big
boys” on their porcelain toilet
thrones.

Apparently, the only people ac-
tually playing around UK are the
football team and those in
autoeroticism. What choice is there
for the competitive spirit?

The recreational facilities around
here, aside from being horrid, are
virtually non-existent. That is, if one
does not include mattresses and
porcelain thrones. Merely attempt
to play basketball one evening and
see what I mean.

After a phone call to the Seaton
Center, one is told the only free time
for basketball is 4 pm. to 7 pm. for
the weekdays. A generous con-
cession for 20,000 students. Then
upon arriving at Seaton Center, one
finds that the wheelchair basketball
team has one court (a group of
superb guys and more power to
them).

After dribbling for 15 minutes (my
wife constantly complains about
this), one finds that the volleyball
championships have overtaken two
whole courts—for the 20th night in a
row. I earnestly believe that even

commentary

the big boys on their porcelain
thrones can figure this one out.
Three from four leaves 200
frustrated young men to pull at each
others' jocks.

Since I only have one frayed jock
remaining, 1 was forced to place it
on its silver nail gently that evening
and write this tirade of flatulence-
laiden slop. Why? Because it’s one
situation when a person has to
withstand the intolerable lack of
recreational facilities for which a
portion of his tuition is invested.

It‘s another when the ani mundi
blatantly lie about the time
available for “free play." Perhaps,
they were referring to the “play”
that goes on behind closed doors. It
is free and the doors of Blanding
never lock. Nor are the bathrooms at
SC ever crowded. If only the Urban
Council knew about this “play"!

I realize that my gas wil be blown
upwind with this ranting. The
liklihood of the big boy ad-
ministrators ever alleviating the
lack of recreational facilities is very
dismal. Probably they will put up

some more new backbards to
palliate the vehement few (like
giving baked beans to relieve
diarrhea).

My stammerings, ramblings and
insipid utterances may denote my
infatuous reluctance to accept the
administrators’ idiom: “It is better
to be pissed off than pissed on."
Since other options of exercise are
limited I may as well try an exercise
in futility. To be a bit melodramatic
about my feelings:

“Do not go gentle into that good
night...

Rage, rage against the dying of
the light.”

So dismal.

Maybe someone else will rage and
rant about this rank, fetid situation.
I am getting old and tired. And
nearer to graduation. So remember
dearst administrators et al: a
university does not run on State
funds alone. An unwillingness on
your part to spend any money to
provide opportunities for mine and
others health and sense of well being
may be reciprocated.

Send me one of these g.d. alumnus
contribution letters and I will
politely and discretely inform you as
to which anus mundi you can shove
it. Until you decide to grace this
campus with some basketball
courts, may the red eye of life wink
at you.

Chris Block says he is a part-time
medical student.

II-iitter-ates

I wish to thank you for printing the
commentary by Ms. Deborah J.
Moffett in today's Kernel.

She is correct in her assessment of
the amount of litter along our
roadsides. Ms. Moffett should,
however, be careful where she
places the blame. She states that
those “Lexingtonians, who pride
themselves on their backgromd and
‘breeding’”, are responsible for the
mess. In all fairness, Ms. Moffett,
this is rather unlikely.

What seems to me much more
likely is that those persons most
responsible for the litter are people
who neither know nor care much
about their background or
‘breeding’. I suspect that these are
people who generally care little
abouthowtheylookorhowtheir
homes or streets look. The ones I
have observed throwing paper and
trash around are more likely to be
heavy smokers, heavy drinkers and
heavy consumers of junk food and
cheap “things". These are the least

likely e to to a TV
campa unless it to do with
some d of junk to that can be
bought at a discomt , broken
anddiscarded into a ditch along with
a beer can and a plastic carton from
McDonald's.

It may be that this area has a

workshops, forums and other ac-
tivities. It offers feminist counseling
using growth-promoting, non-sexist
approaches. In order to teach
mental health professionals alter-
native approaches to the problems
of women, it offers training and
supervision to studerits and prac-
ticing fessionals. Andit provides
consu tative services to
organisations and institutions in the
areas of affirmative action and
women's concerns.

Sunday's event will also provide
an opportunity for other women's
organisations to present themselves
to the cornmraiity. More than at

providing information. The
categories include employment,
mental health, career and
educational services, leisure, arts,
legal and political services, corn-
munity action and sexuality. The

Endorsements illegal

Virginia outlaws Billy Beer

RICHMOND. Va. (AP) —
Beer wholesalers spent a lot
of time yesterday trying to
convince the Va. Alcoholic
Beverage control Com-
mission that Billy Carter is
not a celebrity, but there was
no indication it would reverse
its ban on the sale of “Billy
Beer" in the state.

The commission has
banned sale of the beer
named after President
Carter’s brother because it
violates a regulation
prohibiting the sale of an
alcoholic beverage bearing

an endorsement on its label
by “a prominent or living
person.”

“Billy Beer" claims on its
label to be “brewed expressly
for and with the personal
approval of one of America’s
all-time great beer drinkers—
Billy Carter.”

Over the signature “Billy
Carter" it carries an en-
dorsment which says, “I
think it’s the best I‘ve ever
tasted. And I’ve tasted a lot.”

“If at some later date it
becomes obvious that Jordan
does not want peace, that
Syria does not want peace, or
that Lebanon does not want
peace and a settlement with
Israel, then an alternative
might have to be pursued.“
Carter said.

The obvious inference was
that the United States then
might support aseparate
settlement between Egypt
and Israel, which some Arabs
are convinced is already in
the making.

“But," Carter went on, “we
certainly have not reached
that point yet. I think the
other Arab leaders do want
peace with Israel."

His public support for the
steps taken by Sadat and
Israeli Prime Minister
Menahem Begin was tem-
pered with the qualification
that their “exploratory ef-
fo ” should be related to an
overall Middle East set-
tlement. And at least in-
directly Carter urged Israel
not to lose sight of the

peace

“Palestinian question. "

As for the Soviet Union,
which turned down Sadat‘s
invitation, Carter made clear
that in his view the Russians
cannot _ and should not — be
excluded from Middle East
negotiations.

“In the past. the Soviets
have not played a con-
structive role in many in-
stances," he said. “They
have espoused almost
completely the more
adamant Arab position."

However, he added, “in
recent months the Soviets
have moved to a much more
balanced position as a
prelude to the Geneva con-
ference."

Carter began the news
conference with an an-
nouncement that Alfred L.
Atherton Jr., the assistant
secretary of State for the
Near East, will represent the
United States at the Cairo
talks. He also disclosed that
they are set to begin around
Dec. 13.

Billy Carter was not a
prominent person.

“Billy, by his own ad-
mission. is a redneck and a
country bumpkin. That
certainly doesn’t make him a
celebrity," he said during a
conference granted by the
commission.

“Anyone who couldn't win
an election for mayor three
times in a row in Plains, Ga.
can‘t be very famous,”
Brown added.

In explaining the ban, ABC
