Community College Group Named

student committee to keep the University abreast of the problems of its community colleges was named here Saturday.
President John V. Oswald said the committee could undertake projects to establish
better contacts among the colleges as well
as between the colleges and his administration. As a link with Oswald, the group
would parallel the Lexington campus President's Council on Students.
Presidents of the colleges' student governments, with vice presidents as alternates,
will meet in January with Dr. Oswald and
Dr. Ellis F. Hartford, dean of the community
college system. After discussing the aims of
such an advisory group with their fellow
students, they will draft the final structure
of the committee.
The appointment came at a meeting of the
system's student government leaders, who
spoke of "our relationship to UK," a lack
of academic and athletic competition among
the colleges, and a need for more pride in
the schools as major common problems.
Speaking of UK's student government to
the group, Robert L. Johnson, vice president
for student affairs, said, "It has never

In contrast tothe limited number of men to be affect etl by

Regents Call Meeting OnBerkeley

UC

Continued From Page 1
The question on the campus
and among anxious admirers of
the university elsewhere was

whether the university's stand
against a student strike, led by
nonstudent radicals, had come
soon enough to avoid the outrage of a new, conservatively

oriented state administration.
A number of state investigations of the university arc pending, and the mood of them may
have been set by Cov.-eleRonald Reagan's remark that
"the overwhelming majority of
the people of this stale have lost
confidence in the university" and
its "middle-agejuvenile delinquents."
During the weekend, Reagan
told striking students to "accept

Some are dropouts or exiles

come because Berkeley "is the

The strike that began Thursday morning, however, clearly
had far less support among the

Paradox In Freedom?
Dr. Neil Eddington's charge of

two of the most vital issues in
contemporary education. First is
the concept of academic freedom in
the classroom. Second is the ever
more frequent demand of teacher
evaluation by the student.
Both questions are extremely important to quality education, and
the basic ideal behind each must
be preserved even though at first
one may seem to negate the other.
It could be said that such evaluation is the antithesis to academic
freedom, that it is actually an insoluble paradox for the two to
jointly exist.
On the contrary, they are only
antithetical in the case of a superficial examination. If academic freedom is to be anything more than
a catch-phras- e
or a bromide, it
must be a concept governing the
whole scholar-studecommunity.
In this community thought, discussion and examination all dynamics of learning must be completely open ended; a situation
must exist in which cant and tradition can never become sacred.

academic freeConsequently
if it is to be taken seriously,
dom,
includes not merely the right of
the professor to teach freely and
without fear of reprisal, but also
the right of his student to question,
disagree, or reject what he professes. That is not to say any
group of students who may dislike
or disagree with a professor can or

should have the power to directly
remove him. It does imply that
they may rightfully review the success of his class, and enjoin the
University community to consider
whether the highest quality education is being promoted by the professor's work. This is called teacher
evaluation, and it, like any evaluation within a community, is a hallmark of a free and open environment.
Dr. Eddington's case exemplifies this duel concept of academic
freedom perhaps better than any
issue which has come before the
University in recent years. Dr.
must not be either censored or censured for his ideas or
interpretations about his class material, and if there is evidence that
such is the case, the whole University should be informed.
Therefore, the Kernel asks that
the campus chapter of the American
Association of University Professors
investigate Dr. Eddington's work
and the subsequent actions taken by
his department. AAUP should further investigate the method by
which students in his classes have
expressed complaint and dissatisfaction with his teaching, which
according to Anthropology chairman Dr. Henry Dobyns, came
through the Arts and Science Administration.
It should be the job of AAUP
then to determine just how student
evaluation of a faculty membercan
best be implemented in a wider
and more meaningful definition of
academic freedom.

The Desired Effect
The University of Michigan Student Government Council recently broke off ties with the university administration, protesting the
lack of a student voice in policymaking decisions. The action,
while seemingly drastic and perhaps considered out of hand in
stodgy academic circles, has resulted in some of the most positive support registered for student

representation.
Severance of ties with the administration was planned by the
students after school officials refused to accept as binding the results of a student referendum on
the draft. Students had voted 6,389
to 3,508 that the university cease
supplying the Selective Service
with students' class ratings. However, the draft vote was only part
of the parcel that prompted the
move.

Threatening to break off ties
with the administration, the Student Government Council said,
"Our quarrel is not so much with
substantive policies but with the
procedures by which they are for

mulated. We feel we have an obligation to express students' opinions

in all areas which concern them,
and since the structure and actions
of the Office of Academic Affairs
have obstructed the fulfillment of
this rule, we feci that there will
be no other course than to declare our independence."
In our opinion, there is no
question that students should have
a strong voice in policy-makinAt UK, however, students have
only token representation on
committees. Students
are members of only a few faculty
committees and have no voice in
Board of Trustee decisions. On
the faculty committees, student
votes are generally well in the
minority.
Before any incidents occurhere,
we would urge the University faculty to support increased student
representation on policy-makin- g
committees and to officially encourage President Oswald and the
Board of Trustees to allow students to accept additional responsibility in formulating University
policy affecting them. .

Letters To The Editor

Eddington's 'Banishment'
the Editor of the Kernel:
to hear of Dr.
Neil Eddington's "banishment"
from the University of Kentucky.
It is unfortunate to me that the
people involved could be so
-minded
as to dismiss this man.
As far as I can see, the student instigators of this deplorable
act are children who are taking
To

narrow-

Anthropology 100 so as to fulfill
a requirement and expect an easy
"A." It is enough of a slap in
the face to Eddington that the
Administration has a Ph.D. teaching a freshman course. It is unthinkable that students who have
not even achieved their Bachelor
degrees can be so egotistical as to
judge him themselves.
I consider myself lucky to have
one intelligent professor with degrees in his field from the country's
leading department in that field.
I surmise that others do not feel
as I.
College should not be "spoonfed" to each individual. Students
cannot expect to receive a degree
merely by being registered in college, but I am afraid that too many
students at the University of Kentucky do expect this.
Dr. Eddington conducts a coll,
lege, not a
class. He
is not being
paid to waste his time
by lecturing to a group of children
and then to give them all an "A."
He justly expects his students to
work and demonstrate to him that
they deserve their grades. As of
midterm, I think everyone had proved that he deserved his
grade,
myself included, I am sorry to say.
This is really the only class I
have in which I am treated as an
adult. I am expected to work on
grade-schoo-

my own, and to me it is a privilege. My thanks to all the irresponsible people, who call themselves students, for depriving me of
that privilege.

Foreigners' Dilemma
Mr. Markides' proposal in his
letter bovver Foreign Fares"
might help ease the problems most
foreign students face when they
return home after a long absence.
The agencies in charge complain
that far too many of them prefer
to stay in the United States, which,
of course, annihilates the original
purpose of their training here. They
are right.
Yet, these escapees are nut
merely avoiding political and economical fluctuations,
and a lower standard of living.
Any young repatriated graduate
can tell you that the hardest experience he had to go through
was overcoming the feeling of
enand
andor enemistically exviously
hibited by his own countrymen.
Foreign diplomas are not often
understood; opinions rare
