U f L faculty recruitment planned
By DEBBY GRAVES
U of L graduate school faculty
members, concerned that urgent
academic needs may not be met by the
1976-77 budget, have recommended to
President Miller three motions directly
pertaining to budget priorities.
At a meeting Feb. 11, the faculty
unanimously approved the following
motions:
- That the needs of the university
will be best served in th; next fiscal year
by the establishment of an immediate
freeze on all appointments except those
in academic units."
- "That there be an immediate
authorization for the recruitment of
faculty in the units that have suffered
severely from pa st erosion of
faculty-student ratios due to increasing
student enrollments."
- "That there be a priority given to
the release of position to academic units
having needs ar i ing from the
comprehensive naturt' of the University
of Louisville; specih 11ly to meet the
need of the Ph.D. p1ngrams, where the
pressure does not arise from
enrollments . '
The following day the chairmen and
direck· ' .., of graduate degree granting
units also appwved the three motions,
plus a fourth motion stating:
"That the faculty, through the agency
of its deans, be guaranteed a significant
role in determination of university
priorities and that this role be assured by
precisely stated administrative
procedures.
In an interview Friday, Alan Johnson,
dean of the graduate school, said that he
"had been led to expect ahnost no new
faculty members", and he expected next
year's budget to "be heavily weighted
for administrative and support services".
Noting that A&~ enrollment is up 40%
since 1974, while faculty has increased
only 2%, Johnson said, "We simply will
not be able to teach students who enroll
next fall unless more emphasis is given to
the hiring of faculty members."
President Miller met individually with
the deans Saturday , Feb. 14, and said
that funds to hire additional faculty
members would be made available, with
the exception of four units, the Music.
McGui e, Marquette to
test U of L win streak
By JIM MORRIS
Listening to AI McGuire, one learns
many things.
McGuire, coach of the Marquette
University basketball team, speaks his
own language. A "thoroughbred," for
example. is a gifted player. "Dynamite" is
used to describe a great game or player.
"Curtain-time ' is when games are played.
And, of course, there's the "three
o'clocker" : a "thoroughbred" who's
"dynamite" in practice and mediocre at
"curtain-time."
Tomorrow, though, McGuire hopes his
players will play like "four o'clockers" -
because that's when he'll bring his
second-ranked Warriors to Freedom Hall
to take on the U of L basketbalJ team in a
nationaJly televised contest (NBC-Ch.3).
Marquette, ranked behind only
Indiana in both the Associated Press and
United Press International polls, brings a
sparkling 22-1 record into the game. Only
a four point loss to Minnesota mars their
season.
U of L, meanwhile, posted its 18th
victory in 22 starts - ~tn d its eleventh in a
row - Tuesday nif. t with a 98-90
overtime win over a sc ppy Tulsa crew at
Freedom Hall. "Obvic 1 ly. Marquette is
better than anyone c 've played this
season," said U of L 1 tch Denny Crum.
"They have good d ·pth, experienced
players and they're qu '~ as cats."
The Warriors are le< by slick-shooting
forward Earl Tatum. Tatum, a 6-6 senior,
is averaging 19.3 points per game. His
running mate at forward. Bo Ellis, scores
Ht ::~ 12.3 rate.
Other starters will probably be a pair
of 6- I guards - Butch Lee and Lloyd
Walton - and either Jerome Whitehead
(6-10) or seven-footer Craig Butrym at
center.
"It's quite a compatible group, really,
"claims McGuire. "They get along very
well, and with the exception of Earl, they
don't really care if they score."
Crum hopes his team doesn't suffer
the same problems tomorrow that it did
Tuesday night. Against a Tulsa team that
had won jusf six of 20 games, Louisville
was outshot, outrebounded, outh ustled
and, until the very end, outscored.
"We were very fortunate to win that
game,' said Crum. "The first half was a
total disaster. Rick Wilson was the only
one of the starters that played wel1 and
we did get good play out of Wayne
Cosby. But we were standing around
under the boards. I was happy with our
play the second half, but not with our
overall effort for the game."
Crum plans no lineup changes for the
game. He'll go with Wilson (15.0 points
per game) and Phillip Bond ( 11.0) at
guards, Wesley Cox (15.0) and Larry
Williams (l 0.9) at forward and Ricky
Galion at center.
Gall n, who is averaging 14.3 points a
g<Jme, scored 25 against Tulsa.
Almost as interesting as the game on
School, Kent School, the Law School,
and the School of Police Administration.
Dr. Miller also made a committment to
trim administrative services.
"I do not agree with a complete freeze
on new positions in non-academic areas,"
Dr. Miller said. "They should, however,
be cut down as much as possible."
About two thirds of the new money in
the proposed budget will go to academic
positions, according to Dr. Miller.
Dean Johnson said that he feels
that the president's decision is a "direct
result" of the three motions.
Dr. Miller, however, told a Cardinal
reporter Monday, Feb. 16, he had
planned to authorize significant early
recruitment before he knew of the
recommendation by the graduate school
faculty.
Dr. Miller said that he "agrees for the
most part with the motions passed by the
graduate faculty", and said that the
motions "conform with the policy of the
university administration and support
what we are doing and have been doing."
Dean Johnson said that with the funds
to hire additional faculty members that

graduate school.
the graduate school "will survive, though
we could have used more."
I Ie noted that although the deans
requested a systematic discussion of
budget priorttJes last November,
Saturday's meetings with the dc<Jns was
the first attempt by the president to
initiate such proceedings.

the co urt wiJI be the game on the
sidelines. Both McGuire and Crum are
noteci for their flamboyance, although
they take different paths. Crum is the
more low-key of the two. while McGuire
once said, " I think a team should reflect
the personality of its coach. So my teams
are arrogant and obnoxious."
"I like AL" said Crum. "He's different,
but he does a very good job. The fact that
they average 24 wins a year telJs that,
he'd done a Jot of good things for
basket ball."
Ticket manager Don Belcher predicted
a near capacity crowd in 16,433-seat
Freedom llall. Athletic department
officials have made allowances for a larger
than usual number of students to attend.
"Student attendance this season has
averaged 1 ,179." said llelcher) "and we've
