One man rises above the maddening cro~d; Y-LEE! An independent student weekly Friday, February 26, 1~82 All students affected Swain wants to cut $4.4 million from budget By TERESA LEEZER Staff Writer President Donald C. Swain will cut ·$4.4 million from the University of Louisville budget, affecting nearly every student as early as the fall semester of 1982. The complete impact of Swain's budget which is based on 12 task forces he appointed in September wi II be felt in the fall seme ter of 1983. "The amount to be cut from the budget is about $4.4 million, in spite of new state money," Swain said. "This is about one-half the budget of the College Arts and Sciences and it's more than the total University College budget." "There will be some impact of the decisions next fall," Swain said. "But 1982 will mainly be a year of transition, a pha e out period, allowing for faculty contracts and students in the pipelines of orne programs to complete them. The impact will be more noticable in the fall of 1983." Despite the 12 different subject areas the task forces are studying, one goal is kept in mind: improving the quality of education of U of L. "My goal with the task forces and the steering committee is to make tough decisions on cutting the budget while improving the quality of education," Swain said. Last September, Swain appointed nine members to the Steering Committee, of which Swain is chairman and official spokesperson. "The Steering Committee is an administrative concept most involved with long range planning," Swain said . "It's priority is good communication tlow between faculty staff and students ." Long range decisions made by the Steering Committee go through three groups of the Faculty Senate: the deans a1\d their departments, the Student Government A sociation for the proce s of review and student views and the deans "Task force number one identified and vice presidents group. essential undergraduate programs," Steering Committee meetings are be- Swain said.

"These four groups will give us their evaluations early, before digging on our own, for their ideas and suggestions," explained Swain. To help the Steering Committee reach academic decisions, two faculty members are nominated at large by the Plans and Policie Committee of the Faculty Senate. These members are Dr. Joseph Dech of the chemistry department and Dr. James McCage of the Business School. The member representing the Student Government Association (SGA). is its president , Rob Chile . This member cohsults with the faculty staff and students to insure a good flow of communication to the wants and needs of students. ''Student's educational needs are different than that of faculty ·and staff," Swain said. "Although we may not necessari: y agree. we need to understand the other point of view , the students' side." "The effect of the Steering Committee decisions will be tremendous," Chiles said, "and I don't think many students realize this." Committee task force number one took the lead in drawing up the goals and priorities process needed in cutting the budget and reallocating funds. It was presented to the Board of Trustees in October of 198 I and passed by the board~ "We are failing to draw large number of good black and white students," Swain stressed . "On the whole, recruiting black students is good, but a large number of them Jrop out. We need to improve our retention of these students--of them staying here." The Steering Committee review of the task force reports is supposed to :X finished around April I I . At this time the reports will be made public documents, available to the faculty, staff and student for review, placed in various places on the Belknap campus for easy access. An open forum or "great debate" as Swain calls it, will take place around the first of Apri I. calling on the entire campus to participate in questions, criticism and discussion!> of the reports. The $4.4 million cut will be made. it's now just a question of where it will be made. 'The report of the steering committee is just a draft," ~aid Swain. "It will not be in the final form, it will be subject to change." "The Great Debate will be very open," Swain said . 'There are many who are anxious and fearful because we're cutting large amounts out of the budget. At least we can put together a process that will be recogmzed as legitimate." The final step in the reorganization process will be held in special meeting of the Board of Trustee~. scheduled in April. U of L starts physical therapy maJ• or By GRANT LERNER Student Writer Students will soon have a new major option. A fout year physical therapy program, leading to a bachelor's degree, is expected to begin this fall. However, it max not begin at all if instructors cannot be found in time . Robert I. Orendorf, acti ng program director of the physical therapy program, outlined the program's basic requirements. He explained that during the first two years, students will take general education courses. These prerequisites will include two seme ters each of English, history, humanities, sociology, and electives. The junior and senior year will encompass 75 to 80 credits, as opposed to the normal 60 credits. Students will accomplish this by attending classes dur- Nothing ing the summrrsemester. These upperclass courses will include two semesters of each of the following: biology, chemistry, and physics, each with a lab, as well as two semesters of psychology. Orendorf, who is alos director of physical therapy at the Institute of Physical Medicine, said the program is designed to begin with 10 students. He plans on having 12 srudents the second year, 16 the next year and 20 the fo llowing year. Although this number of students may appear to be small, Orendorf points out that it is not a low number by physical therapy standards. ''In the physical therapy curriculum there is a substantial amount of lab hands-on education." Orendorf said. "Because of the time and the personal contact required in providing that type of education, it's difficult to handle new more than a 16 to one classroom/lab si- scribed this as a "money saving detuation." vice."

In 1974, soon after Dr. James G . Miller had been named president of U of L, he sent a letter to U of L archivist Dr. William Morison about not only changing the U of L flag. but also changing the school's colors. Soon after his installation, Miller wrote a letter \O Morison, asking if it would be appropriate to include the city's symbol of the Fleur-de-li on a new U of L flag. and also if a change in the school's colors would be appropriate. Morison replied in a Jetter dated Feb. 14, 1974, saying: "In my opinion we could use a new flag." Morison also suggested in the Jetter that a change from the sc'hool's red and black colors The old flag was used up until 1957. You can see it in the U of L Archives. dered. Neither of these suggestions ever got past the suggestion stage. Many students today do not even realize that U of L has an official nag, even though it tlies daily outside the Administration Building on Third Street. As a matter of fact, the University of Louisville has had an official nag dating back to the 1920s. A quick trip to the U of L Archives verified this fact. The Archives has a letter written by Creqse in 1957, in which he explained the flag's symbols. "The introduction of golden olive branches on the flag (in place of the customary Minerva) is an effort to provide a degree of variety by employing another well-known attribute . The sunburst in the upper left (comer) refers to the Sun God, Apollo." The Jetter goes on to explain that thc>sun's rays are also symbolic of another well-known figure in Lot~isville history, King Louis XIV, the most renowned of the French kings. The city itself, however, was named after King Louis XVI. The tlag in use up until 1957 displayed a large "L" split diagonally on a field of red and black. The "L" showed red on the black f~eld and vice versa.
