' VOL. 56, NO. 18, LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, THURSDAY, JAN. 31, 1985 12 PACiES AN INDEPENDENT STUDENT NEWSPAPER :Cronholm resigns to take similar post at Temple By T. L. STANLEY Cardinal Managing Editor Dr. Lois Cronholm, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Louisville, announced Tuesday that she has accepted a similar position at Temple University and will be leaving U of L at the end of the semester. Cronholm, who has been dean of A&S for the last six years, was chosen over two other finalists for the position in Philadelphia. "I have accepted the offer to serve as dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Temple University because Temple is one of the major urban universities in the country with a strong tradition in arts and sciences," said Cronholm in a written statement. When Cronholm was named as one of the three finalists in late November, many faculty members expressed concern about the future of A&S if she did leave. Some said that Cronholm may have been considering the position because the University-wide Derek King speaks on behalf of keeping uncle's dream alive ByYVONNECOLEMAN Cardinal StaffWriter The Rev. Derek King, nephew of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., spoke to an interracial audience in Middleton Auditorium Sunday, Jan. 27 at a birthday tribute to his uncle titled, "Keeping the Dream Alive." King opene d his speech on a negative note , saying tha t he was not satisfied with the Martin Lu(her King Jr. holiday . "I am not altogether convinced that we ought to accept it like it is," said King. He said the 4th of July and George Washington's birthday were celebrated when they happen. "I don'tmind going on record as saying it was a political move, and to block out every third Monday in the month of January following 1986, that's a real subtle approach" said King. "They haven't done anything they shouldn't have done. "Those of us who have taken the r~nsibility of trying to k~p the dream alive, do not have an easy job. "The reason I say we don't ha ve an easy job is because I think America, at a point, operates in a perpetual state of amnesia." King's theme was "Things We Should Know." He said that in order to keep the dream alive, there are indeed things blacks should know and one of them is that they must challenge the system. First, he said, blacks should know that the keepers of the dream are going to be blacks and other minorities. Second, King said , blacks should know they are somebody. "If we are going to be the ke epers of the dream, we should not be intimidated nor frustrated, nor despondent about how God made u s ," he said. King said the third thing blacks must know is that they must take advantage of educational opportunities. "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." He said that young people talk about "getting over." He said he sees more high-school-age young people and potential college students just hanging out on corners. "Everybody wants to get it, but nobody wants to get caught," King said. "If you plan to go through U of L getting over, getting by, getting down and,getting high, you will get caught once you get out." Another thing blacks need to know, said King, was that they are not taking advantage of political opportunities. "Why did we have to wait for Jessie Jackson to wake some of us out of our deep sleep?" King said that an interest in the political s¥stem should have Board of Trustees discuss study about U ofL staff morale By T. L. STANLEY Cardinal Managing Editor The majority of University of Louisville employees are worried about the way things are going at the University, think morale is low and do not believe that they will be rewarded for doing good work. These findings, from a comprehensive study of employee opinions, were released Monday at the Jan. Board of Trustees meeting. The study was conducted by U of L's Urban Studies Center under senior researcher Dr. Gordon Bonham. The survey covered several areas, including employee perceptions of the administration, job satisfaction, working conditions and the University's image. And although many employees responded that they wanted to stay at U of L and that their jobs were worthwhile, there was a high percentage of negative feelings expressed about U of L . Most of the negative comments came from the questions dealing · with the administration and with salaries. Black employees responded overwhelmingly in the negative to a question asking whether U of L is making adequate efforts in equal educational opportunities. This area has been the topic of considerable debate recently, and many U of L officials have said that the University may be faltering in its affirmative action commitments (Cardinal, Jan. 24). One specific question dealing with the administration s tated , "The University operates efficiently. Thirty-six percent agreed with this statement and 64 percent disagreed. An other statement said , "I am worried about the way things are going at U of L." Fifty-nine percent agreed and 41 percent disagreed. During presentation of the study's findings, several trustees raised questions about the lopsided figures. Bonham and Dr. Steve Merker, a research specialist at t he Systems Science Institute, who assisted in the presentation, said that even though the ligures are weighted negatively, the sections on the administration and sala ries were only two of the many sections of the questionaire and that the results from the two sections, taken alone, had little effect on the outcome of the entire survey. The outcome of the survey indicated that in general most U of L employees like their work and are content here. "Those figures just don't look very good to me," said Thomas C. Simons, Board of Trustees member, of the negative responses to Continued on Page 2 Strategic Planning Document that U of L president Dr. Donald Swain unveiled in October, seemi nlgly de-emphasized the liberal arts curriculum. Temple is well known for its emphasis on the liberal arts. "The faculty is concerned that we will have good advocacy if she leaves," said Dr. Joe Slavin, chairman of the Humanities Department, in a Nov. article in The Cardinal. "The Strategic Planning document has upset the faculty more than anything I've seen in my 11 years here because it ignoresA& S." Swain said that when the revised Strategic Planning document is released in a few days the faculty should be assured that there are no plans to shift away from the traditional liberal arts curriculum. "We would urge the faculty to wait and see what changes have been made in the Strategic Planning document. The things that we left implicit in the draft (about A&S being where libe.ral arts edu-cation originates) will be explicit in the revision," said Swain. Some faculty members fear Cronholm will be tough to replace because of the leadership she has shown at U of L. "The College would have to find vigorous leadership in order to preserve the integrity of Arts and Sciences," said Dr. David Hershberg, chairman of the Languages Department in the same November article. Slavin agreed, saying that he thought it would be next to impos-sible to replace Cronholm with as effective a leader . "I think Lois is the best academic dean I have ever known," said Slavin, who has taught at five universities and been a consultant for 20 others and himself been a past dean of A&S at U of L. "If you think you have the best, when you go back out on the ma rket, you're going to get second- or third-best."

Angela McCormick and a group of Se nators and A&S Student Council members conducted the "Stude nt Interests and Issues" survey last fall, measuring student response to such diverse topics as college preference, an athletic fee and familiarity with Student Government Association-sponsored services and activities. Students were also asked to list problems that they felt SGA should pursue. These problems will become priorities for the A&S Student Council in the coming semester. Seventy-nine percent of the students surveyed said that course evaluations would be useful to them in deciding to register for a course and should be published. Only 51 percent supported increased student course fees, even if they were the only method to continue offering a certain course. Eighty-six percent of those surveyed opposed an athletic fee; the fee was among the three problems most cited on the survey. Respondents named student involvement and activities as highpriority items needing SGA attention. (Parking was cited most often.)

(For the 82 percent who were not familiar with the Typewriter Service, students may use a typewriter free in the SGA office upon presentation of a valid U of LID.) Virginia Schneider, who handles public relations for SGA, said that P .R. is a relatively new concept for SGA, but during the past years, a variety of a dvertising methorls have been ust-d to publicize the organization's events and services.

At the invitation of the Unive r s ity of Louisville's B'nai B 'rith Hillel Foundation, Rothmann spoke at the group's monthly Shabbat dinner to kick off the Hillel division of the United Jewish Campaign. Rothmann, a specialist in Middle East and Soviet affairs, also addressed Dr. Charles Ziegler's Soviet Government and Policy class, and later spoke to a group of Jewish faculty members at Masterson's Restaurant. Rothmann's visit climaxed Israel Aware ness Week, which had been sponsored by U of L H1llel. "In the briertime I've been here," Rothmann said, "I've been very impressed. It seems to be a very active, very vital, very nice group of people. It seems to me the Hillel operation here on the campus is performing a vital function and an important function." Rothmann discussed the position of the J ewish population in the U.S .S .R. with Ziegler's class and outlined American -Israeli relations for the faculty group.
