About 200 people packed the
multi-purpose facility of the
Health Sciences Center last
Thursday to air grievances to stu­dent
affairs vice president D1r. Ed­ward
Hammond and Department
of Public Safety director Dan Kel­ler
about security in and around
the Health Sciences Center. The
University has made security a top
priority, said Hammond.
Hammond called the public
forum because of several com­plaints
he has received this Sl!mes­ter
from HSC faculty, staff and
students. There has been at. least
one mugging and several thefts,
and women have· often com­plained
of being verbaUy harassed
by male bystanders (read loiter­ers)
when walking between build­ings
and in parking Jots.
Although the University admin­istration
has cut the DPS budget
the last three years, Hammond
said that U of L president Dr.
Donald C. Swain, who is out of ·
town at present, had given him
"carte blanche, ... a blank check"
to spend whatever it takes to curb
the problems.
Some of the problems that
members of the audience articu­lated
are things that cannot be sol­ved
by throwing money at them:
"The DPS officers need to be out
walking around and not watching
the damn TV!"; "It's understood
that crime was a lot lower when
we had a dedicated lieutenant
·overseeing the whole operation."
"I was being walked to my car one
night by an older security guard,
and he said, 'We've got to run in
opposite directions when they
come at us, because I can't stop
them."'
The discussion ran for ab~ut an
hour. Several times, the crowd
applauded speakers, most espe­cially
the man who s1,1ggested that
off-duty Louisville police ~fficers
be hired to patrol with the DPS
force because the LPD people
have both loaded guns and the
power of arrest. The majority of
DPS personnel have neither.
Hammond spoke in support ofthis
notion. Keller claimed that the
cost of off-duty officers was $12 an
hour, which is prohibitive.
"I'd really feel safer with real
police officers on duty," said one
woman, "because I'd know that
they have real guns with real bul­lets
in them."
By the end of the meeting, H'am­mond
was promising a four-point
plan of changes. Among those
points was most certainly the hir­ing
of off-duty LPD officers.
Afterward, Hammond and Kel­ler
spoke informally with some of
the people that had attended the
meeting. As Hammond was telling
a student what a great idea hiring
the off-duty' officers is, Keller vet­oed
the idea. When someone
asked him why, Keller looked
around before replying. Seeing
that people were listening, he
quickly told Hammond that his ex­planation
would have to wait until
the two of them met privately.

Remember when the sewers
blew up all over the University of
Louisville campus? Remember
the headache you get every time
you try to drive from Davidson
Hall to the .Student Center? Re­member
when there used to be a
Brook Street running through the
middle of the campus?
Well, fellow students, keep your
eyes open, because Brook Street
is soon going to receive a major
and well-deserved facelift, and
everyone connected with the Uni­versity
will benefit from it.
"Everyone we have talked to is
enthusiastic," said Dave Lee, di­rector
of Facilities Management,
which is in charge of the new de-sign
for Brook Street. •
Lee said Brook Street will still
enter the campus in front of the
Service Center and the Houchens
Building as it does now, but it will

Dave Baird, Shawne Lawson,
Karen Rickert, and Randy
Statsny have all been quite busy
this fall. These four make up the
Student Government Association
department of public relations,
which means they work towards
making SGA look as good as possi­ble.
Each of the directors has pro­jects
underway. Frequently, the ·
directors work with one another
in coordinating projects, but there
is normally one director who
heads up each activity.
One of the biggest projects com­ing
out of the office this fall is the
new student discount caret. Two
years ago, SGA helped put out
20,000 discount cards featuring re­duced
prices and free lOfts for stu­dents
at certain' local 'businesses.
The card and its discounts will ex­pire
at the end ofthis year.
During the past two months,
Ms. Lawson and others have been
soliciting businesses for the cards.
This year, there are 22 establish­ments
sponsoring discounts. Ac­cording
to Lawson, the cards
should be out in mid-to-late Oc­tober.
The publication of the SGA
newsletter, Action, has been
another nuijor project for the pub­lic
relations office, especially for
its editor, Dave Baird.
Action will be published
monthly and it can be picked up in
the campus newstands, according
to Baird.
In th~ past, the SGA Newsletter
has not been particularly well­read
by U of L students. To com­pensate
for this, Baird said, "the
newsletter has undergone some
cosmetic changes this year in
order to promote its readability
and popularity." Some of these
adjustments include a . name
change and increased artwork.
, Already this fall, the public rela­tions
office has sponsored several
events. Director Statmy and
others helped with the recent
campus blood drive. The blood-

and finally run behind the Coun­seling

Then it will continue through
the Red Barn parking lot and out
to its original starting place on the
other side of the Red Barn.

ticket office will be from Brandeis

this area will be the possible clos­ing

To be added in the area where
Brook Street used to be are trees,
patio furniture (possibly), and an
area for students to gather outside
of the Red Barn.
"We can maybe make it a
sidewalk cafe or a beer garden,"
said Lee.

The managing editor of The
Courier-Journal has resigned as a
part-time faculty member in the
communications program be­cause,
he said, "I was reluctant to
be a part of what I think is a pre­tense
that University of Louisville
students in communications are
being adequately served."
David V. Hawpe said that he
had written a letter last May to U
of L President Dr. Donald C.
Swain saying he had "consi•~ered
resigning as a communications
faculty member over the past
couple of years in protest again~t
what I considered the limit:ations
-serious .limitations- plac:ed on
resources for the department."
"I told him I didn't. think !It was
possible for four full-time faculty
members to offer this many stu­dents
the kind of teacher-student
relationship necessary for ade­quate
training.
.-
"I believed that then, and I be­lieve
that now."
How«::ver, Hawpe said that he
thought Swain had taken a "posi­tive
step" when he formed a com­mittee
to study the future of the
program. The committee, which
consists of faculty members,
ouside professionals and students,
will report to Swai~ by Nov. 1.
"The committee was an impor­tant
thing to do," Hawpe said.
A recent article in The Courier­Journal
examined the ratio of stu­dents
to full-\ime f~culty members
at various universities around the
state. It discovered that U of L's
ratio of 124 to 1 (495 communica­tions
majors against four full-time
faculty members) was by far the
worst in the state. It more than
doubled that of Western Ken­tucky
University, which had the
next worst ratio. '
Wha"t has ertabled U of L to
cHrry on has been the quality of
part-time member5 .of the faculty.
Hawpe was quick to give praise to
.Dr. Michael Murray, who earlier
Sajfe(ty) first
.
this year resigned as head of the
communications program.
"Mike worked very hard to re­cruit
part-time faculty members,"
Hawpesaid.
Before Murray resigned, he
sent a letter to Hawpe expressing
his feelings. Hawpe said that Mur­ray
wrote about the contributions
· being made by the part-time facul­ty
members to the communica­'
tions program.
Murray then wrote, "It's just a
damn shame U of L doesn't have
sense enough to appreciate it."
Hawpe was not sure whether
his resignation would help or not,
but he hoped that it would em­phasize
his serious concern for the
program.
"It was my judgment that re­moving
myself from the program
would serve to underline and em­phasize
my concern, which I've
expressed over a period of time. If
it does. that, it wiU have been
worth it," he said.

Earliest registra tion eV.er
offers· an end to long lines
By SUSAN McDONALD
Cardinal Stafi'Writer
Next week students will begin
what is probably the earliest regis­tration
ever held at the Univenity
of Louisville, to sign up for spring
1983 classes.
The process of pre-registration,
which was tried here for the fi.I'St
time this semester, will begin on
Monday, Oct.ll.
"The logistics of pre-registra­tion"
make it necessary to begin
the process early, said Kathy Otto,
assistant registrarfor registration.
"lt takes time to advise ~udents,
process the forms, send billa.
change class schedules if :teceS­sary,
and so forth."
The registrar's office is not mail­ing
any infonnation abou•t pre­registration
to students. Instead,
posters have been placed at sev­eral
locations on campus giving
the dates of registration and out­lining~
basic procedure for stu­dents
in each school.
Students who want to pre-regis­ter
should pick up a class schedule
at the school they attend and
make arrangements with their
school for advising. They · be
. given a pre-Prthted · tion
I
form to fill out and return to their .
dean's office. Detailed informa­tion
about pre-registration is given
in the course schedule.
Early registration will continue
through Oct. 29 and is open only to
students who are enrolled this
semester. New students will baJcct
an opportunity to register during
November and December, and
open relistration will be held Jan.
5-18 in Bigelow Hall.
Students who register during
October will receive their class
schedules and bills in e~ly De­cember.

trces be given to improve the
department. The second is that it
be disbanded and the University
encourage students to seek this
kind of training at other univer­sities.
Hawpe said that the lack of
training at U of L was "tragic,"
and r.esulted in students being un­derprepared
for the journalistic
world. Over the past few years, he
said, he has seen students "whose
talents were not being fully de­veloped
because the program
didn't have the resources to devel­op
them."
In the Courier article, Swain
was quoted as recommending that
any expanded communcations de­partment
focus on the new tech­nology,
such as cable and satellite

"This has been one of those
areas where desire for a speedy
resolution runs afoul of the gover­nance
process," said Dr. Herbert
Garfmkel, vice president for
academic affairs, speaking to the
Staff Senate last Monday about
the proposed disestablishment of
University College. He em-·
phasized to the Staff Senate that
the plans were to transfer all in- ·
volved students, faculty, and staff
without causing any inconveni­ence
to anyone. He explained that
some later changes could possibly
occur, but that "there are no pro­grams
I know of slated for re-view."
•
Garfmkel explained that where
U.C. office personnel will go may
also be of some question. He said
that some of these people would
most likely go to the Arts and Sci­enees
off1ce, or possibly to the
Continuing Education depart­ment.
He said he knew that the
transfer question could cause
morale problems among the staff
because of the uncertain future,
but congratulated the staff on
their understanding and patience.
"We don't want to lose people
like that, especially out of care­
·tessness," he said. The issue of
merit pay to professional adminis­trative
faculty arose. The Staff
Sell8te was in somewhat of an up­roar
over the current situation of
merit raises. The senators
explained to chainnan Robert
Cochran that they understood that
their merit raises would work on a
unit basis. They explained that
they understood that each unit
would be evaluated, and then the
merits would be awarded.
They were upset because, as
they explained it, many evalua­tions
have not been completed as
of yet. The senaton were 'con­cerned
that other staff members
would have to wait until all evalua­tions
were completed before any
raises would be ,warded.
Another problem the Senate
addressed was the way_ merit
