VOL.-56, N0.17, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, THURSDAY, JAN. 24, 1985 10 PAGES AN INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER Student Senate ·is faced wit1lt possible hike in activities fee Senate is obligated By DON WOODRUM to act soon Cardinal News Editor Citing inflationary trends and m increase in the cost of services, Dr. Edward Hammond, vice president for student affairs, asked the Student Senate to consider an increase in the student activity fee. "I think the statistics speak to the need," Hammond said. "Something has to be done. We've held the fee constant for three years." The 1983-84 budget for student activities was $1.02 million. The proposed budget for these activities for this academic year is .$1.06 million. Based on this projection, Hammond proposed a $2.50 per semester increase to the senators. This will raise the fee to $35 per semester. Proceeds from the student activities fee fund a wide range of programs at the University. Some of these programs include the intramurals program, marching band, cheerleaders and debate team. Other activities covered under this fee are the student councils, SGA, counseling services, Humana Gym and orientation. In introdudng Hammond, Bill Campbell, SGA academic vice president, said he thought this fee was a little more difficult than the fees proposed in the past. He said that in looking at the fee, there were a couple of things that had to be considered. "For two years now, I've op· posed tuition increases and fee in creases unless they're absolute): proved," Campbell said. "I thinlt we have to take that into consideration when thinking about this fee." Campbell said there are basically three things that could be done. He said to keep the fee stable with costs increasing simply doesn't work budgetarily. Therefore, Campbell suggested either increasing the fee, establishing some user fee for large ticket items, such as the Counseling Center, or come up with little cuts here and there with some additional user fees. Hammond then took the floor and explained his pos.ition on the fee. He said when he proposed the fee that he would hold it steady for a minimum of three years and propose an increase only when absolutely necessary. Due to inflation, Hammond said, he thought a raise in the fee was necessary. "Therefore, I felt it was only ap-propriate that we initiated a discussion prior to any recommendation or discussion that I had with (U of L President) Dr. Swain or the budget office regarding the fee," he said. The floor was then opened to the senators for questions. Most of the senators seemed to be c:oncemed why some of the programs were under the purview of the activity fee, in particular the Counseling Center and testing servkes. Hammond defended these programs saying they were understaffed. He also pointed out 1lhat the budget for these services lhad not increased significantly o•ver the past couple of years. Hammond attributed the avoidanc•e of a fee increase to this budget stability. Harold Rittner, coordinato1r of the Mentor program and a sE:nator, raised a question about fa,culty use of programs covered under the student activity fees. He wanted to know if the faculty :and Continued on Page 10 Ed Hammond, vice president for student affairs, :proposes a hike in the activilties fee at the last SGA meetling.

STANLEY Cardinal Managing Editc.r In past years, the University of Louisville has had a good reputation for recruiting blacks in faculty and administration positions. Now, however, U of L seems to >e "faltering" and in a "contradictory situation" with regard to re•- ruitmg and retaining black personnel, aecording to several Uni' ersily officials. "We need to take a good hard look at our recruiting process and put more emphasis on it," said Harvey Johnson, U ofL's affirmative action director. "I know the University is interested in recruitir:: ',Jack faculty and administrators. but the results have·been disappointing." The results of the University's recruitment and retention policies have been small, but measurable. The levet of black employment has risen slightly since 1981. Last Bad drean1s may find library sleepers soon ByT. A. PACK Cardinal StaffWriter You can't sleep in the library? There was a time, not long ago, when students, each regaining sleep lost to a part-time job, a party, study or a long commute to campus, would line the cpuches on the third and fourth floors of the University of Louisville's Ekstrom Library - but no more. A new policy has gone into effect; patrols have been sent out: signs have been posted. You can't sleep in the libtary. A memo issued to the public Service Department Heads of Ekstrom Library by David Reed, director of the Division of Central Libraries, called sleeping in the library "i,nappropriate behavior" and outlined a monitoring program that will "inform (library) users of our policy with respect to loud conversation and sleeping." The memo says sleeping students will be reprimanded in the same manner as students engaged in loud conversation. "I don't know where this policy is written down," said a library employee who wished to remain anonymous because of possible employment-related repercussions. "If it is a written-down policy, then students have a right to object to it. A sleeping person is not making any noise; I don't think they're bothering anybody." In his memo, Reed said he had received "an increasing amount of input from the University administration, the Library administration, faculty, and students" that said there is something wrong with people sleeping in the library. "The whole thing started," said the employee, "because of some complaints that were directed to the Library administration about students sleeping in the library, and people were upset by how that looked. The solution (arrived at by Reed and the Public Service Advisory Committee) is teams of library faculty members and library full-time staff going. around on patrol on a regular schedule to wake people and tell them there . shall be no sleeping or lying down in the library. "There is a tendency for people to make some parts of the library a regular gathering place, where they talk loudly and disturb other people; and that is something that should be legitimately dealt with. "But whethel' the faculty members should be the ones to do that is part of this whole question. "For me, it seems like it's a complicated issue because it is a student- related issue - whether or New ticket distribution plan to start Saturday By MIKE GREISSEL Cardinal Staff Writer · The University of Louisville Athletic Ticket Office will ampler'nent a new ticket distribution system, designed t~ eliminate the long lines and other problems associated with key basketball games, beginning with this Saturday's game against North Carolina State. Under the new plan, students wishing to buy tickets will sign a list in the Student Life Office for each game they want to attend. If there are more tickets available than were requested, everyone will get a limit of two. But if there are more requests than available tickets, a raffle will be held, and students whose names are drawn can claim their tickets without waiting in line. · "Our main goal in changing the distribution system," said athletic business manager Don Belcher, "is to keep students from standing out there in cold, inclement weather ... freezing to death to get tickets." The former distribution method forced students and the general public to form long lines outside the ticket office on mornings tickets went on sale. Belcher said there was no problem with the old way for most games, because the approximately 350 tickets usually set aside for individual student sales met or exceeded the demand. However, for more popular games like the one with the UniContinued on Pqe 2 semester, 24 of the 964 full-titme faculty members and 13 of the 161 administrators were black. Several University officials reported that there was a time il!l U of L's history when the institution led the area in hiring black personnel. "We're not repeating history," said Dr. Harold Jackson, director of university communications, who recently resigned to takoe a position with a private eorporation. Jackson explained that U of L was the first major university in the south to integrate· and also to hire the first black faculty member. "U of L did it before. They did it when it wasn't expected, it wasn't required and they did it at a time when other schools in this state rejected it." But Jackson said that the commitment must come from the current administration to hire blacks. "I think the opportunity is there," Jackson said, "you just hove to want to do it." Dr. Blaine Hudson, assistant to the director of the Preperatory Division, agreed. "There have been times when the University has been more actively involved in recruiting blacks than at present." "But the crucial measure is the ..-esults and they just haven't been what a lot of blacks would be satis" ied with," Hudson said. Hudson explained that there is a high concentration of blacks in the lower echelon positions at U of L such as maintenance, building and grounds and clerical jobs. He said that the percentage of blacks "thins out considerably" as one looks to the higher level positions. There are several explanations that could account for the small number of blacks in high level jobs at U of L.

The grant established four endowed chairs, receiving $750,000. According to University of Louisville President Dr. Donald C. Swain, the University conducted long discussions with the Brown Foundation about the University's needs and the foundation's areas of support. "The Brown Foundation have never made a commitment previously to any publicly supported university," Swain said. "They were eager to support us, but did not want to open doors to other public institutions." After long discussions, the Brown Foundation proposed four , areas that they would like to support, Swain said. "Those were the four areas that evolved through mutual negotiations. These are all in areas that only the University of Louisville or the UK offer instruction in." The four areas receiving endowments were the Agnes Brown Duggan Endowed Chair of Oncological Research (cancer research), the Edward Reep Clark Edowed Chair of ComputerAided Engineering, the Harold Edward Harter Endowed Chair of Commercial Law and the Preston Polk Joyes Chair of Biochemical Research. "The money for these endowed chairs will be used for two pur~ oses," said Swain. "One will be tor salary supplement, but the rest of it will be earmarked for the support of the people coming into the e ndowed professorships. "I certainly expect that they will co'ntribute greatly to all those programs," Swain added. "We ought to be able to attract some outstanding people into those positions, or if we are about to lose some outstanding people (alluding to Harold Jackson, director of University communications), we can offer that as an attraction to keep them here . The quality of faculty is the most important thing." The University of Louisville has a research assignment in the misContinued on Page 2
