It's Ttwtiay Feb. 2h 1978 1 4 lHpW - 1 5 Cents -- Insight T M. U. relies on teaching by students By Jeff Gordon Missouriaa staff writer Spanish 1, College Algebra, Introduc-tion to Philosophy, Introduction to Poetry and English Composition are classes that make up a typical schedule for a University freshman in the liberal ' arts. Perhaps unfortunately, if a student had this schedule, he would be taught exclusively by fellow students graduate teaching assistants. In many other classes, teaching assistants would lead discussion groups, super-vise laboratories and grade tests. Armon Yanders, dean of the College of Arts and Science, estimates that 40 percent of lower- lev- el classes in the college are taught by graduate students. In the English and mathema-tics departments, almost all lower- lev- el classes are student- taugh- t. " There is no way to survive without them," Yanders said. The College of Arts and Science uses more teaching assistants than other University school or college. In a time of annual tight budgets, the graduate student is a cheap source of labor. At an average salary of $ 3,000 per year, the student earns one- four- th to one- ten- th of a faculty member's salary. But the University may face cuts in its teaching assistant work force. Chancellor Herbert Schooling has said teaching assistants may be released as part of a $ 2.3 million budget reallocation, which will be used mainly to raise faculty salaries. The University already is having trouble recruiting teaching assistants because the dismal job market for . .. professors, in some areas- - i&- cirtt-ing , graduate enrollment and ' Because the University does not offer a general tuition waiver for teaching assistants, Yanders said. Only out- of- sta- te fees are waived. The dependence on graduate students by some departments " is reflected by the ratio of teaching assistants to faculty members. The mathematics de-partment has 28 faculty members and 62 teaching assistants, and the English department has 36 faculty and 112 assistants. Teaching assistants generally teach half the load of a faculty member. Overall, the University's use of teach-ing assistants is similar to that of neigh-boring universities. The University College of Arts and Science has 412 faculty members and about 580 teach-ing assistants. The University of Kansas has 570 faculty members and about 500 teaching assistants, said dean of Arts and Science Robert Cobb. The University of Illinois has 670 faculty and about 1,800 teaching assistants, said Walter Rodgers, dean of arts and' science. Some educators say that incoming freshmen should be taught by full professors because freshmen need ( See TEACHING, Page 11) 1 - . " iBMMHaiMgMHaaHMaHnHaBHHBIHHBmHMMHHiliaaHiaHHBHMMaBaiBBaiHHMMHB By Dan Ray Missourian staff writer The stage was set but the final act didn't come as anticipated for Sixth Ward Councilman Clyde Wilson's housing inspection ordinance. After almost two hours of listening to spirited public debate Monday night, the City Council postponed action on Wilson's ordinance requiring annual mandatory inspections of all city rental property until the council's next meeting March 6. To be considered at the same meeting will be an interim housing inspection policy resolution proposed by Mayor Les Proctor, Fourth Ward Councilman Jim Goodrich and Planning and Zoning Commission Chairman Jon Gerardi. Their plan, proposed Saturday as an alternative to Wilson's, would require the city to step up housing code enforcement, concentrating in areas where previous inspections have shown housing to be substandard. Wilson said the mayor had agreed to his request before the meeting to delay a vote on his ordinance. One of the supporters of Wilson's ordinance, Fifth Ward Councilwoman Fran Beach, was not at the meeting because of an injury to a member of her family. Wilson said the delay would give her " an opportunity to vote; " Even with Ms. Beach's support, however, a vote Monday night would have killed Wilson's measure. Two other potential swing votes, First Ward Councilman Pat Barnes and Second Ward Councilman Don Mosby, voiced their opposition to Wilson's ordinance at Monday night's meeting. Wilson said the delay also would " keep the pot boiling" that his ordinance has stirred up. Before Wilson requested the delay, the council witnessed a lively and sometimes pointed public discussion of his ordinance. About 20 persons spoke at the hearing, most in favor of Wilson's ordinance. Twice speakers favoring the ordinance were applauded. One burst of applause came when Arthur Mc- Arth- ur, 608 Morningside Drive, said the council should serve " the interests of the little people as well as those in power. ' ' Representatives of Boone County Tenants Inc., the Missouri Students Association, the Off- Camp- us Students Association and neighborhood associations said that substandard housing in the city is widespread, that present housing code enforcement is too lax and that students and low- inco- me persons are victims of the present en-forcement policy. Opponents of the ordinance testified that substandard housing is limited to a few landlords in a few areas and that the ordinance would create an unnecessary layer of government interference in the free market. Each side backed up its case with statistics. Cameron Cohick, director of Boone County Tenants, told the council that his group receives 15 to 25 complaints on apparent housing code violations every month. " I think the figures we have support the need for this ordinance," Cohick said. Robert Hines, a Columbia attorney speaking for the 300- memb- er Columbia Board of Realtors, said more than 4,000 calls by city inspectors were made in 1977, 2,000 more than in 1976. But more inspections revealed fewer houses in need of substantial repair 320 in 1977 compared with 335 in 1976, he said. Richard Knipp, a builder and former council-man, called Wilson's proposal " a foot- in- the- do- or type of ordinance," the cost of which " would far exceed Mr. Wilson's estimate" of $ 16,000 per year. " We don't want oppressive government," said Gordon Toland, 908 Hulen Drive. Steve Honeyman, director of the University Y, said it is time to force landlords to comply with the housing code. " How many years did we have to wait" for property near the University to be improved?" he said. bS IbjBBh, HBmffHJJBBfiB SkSSSSSSISBsSBSbSkSkBm BbBI jnj BBS H W" 9lf' ' ffflflNWPBSwBfflgrjm majssasSBmmaSSmaiaaimm IBSHU SEflBJ mOmRgaOHmWBKl- SliJlHt- e jg-- , JK, m'J" Mss' SciaJtieSiS RADoirmicvkMei, negsehpsaeem, ak3s13 in Jm$ favor of Sixth BpMgWPMik'BP, BiSWSMS'mlifSlfSMl WClayrdde CWoiulsnocnil'sman pp 1P 4S2a39W mSSmSm nted housing mm At- e- SSBmSm spection plan jaiTfflffWjE at Monday --- ffi- SKi BF '"" ' 111 I '' i night's council QSMHllMJKHHBMiPiHSBl ' ' imH ' 1III 11 - meeting.

OoadSiBSito Council turns thumbs down on earnings tax By Margaret Felton and Carolyn Sanf ord Missourian staff writers The City Council Monday night killed the city's push for an earnings tax and voted against buying a 1.7- ac- re (. 69- hectar- e) tract in the Flat Branch area. The council instructed the city staff to con-centrate on promoting an additional 1- c- ent city sales tax and state property tax reassessment instead of the earnings tax proposal part of a larger tax base revision package. Although Mayor Les Proctor said there is little possibility of passing the 1- c- ent sales tax, the council voted 4 to 2 to prepare a presentation for the Missouri Legislature on the advantages of the tax. Sixth Ward Councilman Clyde Wilson and Third Ward Councilwoman Diane Farish wanted the city to continue holding informational sessions on the tax base revision. Only Wilson voted to spend $ 350,000 for a lot at the southeast corner of Providence Road and Locust Street in Flat Branch. The council's action clears the way for Hardee's Food System Inc. to build a restaurant on the site. Hardee's has had a contract to buy the land from the estate of the late Jimmie Proctor since July. The company has taken out a city building permit. In other action, the council voted unanimously to reconsider at its March 6 meeting a rezoning request of the Alumni Heights Neighborhood Association. The association wants the area downzoned from R-- 2, multiple- famil- y dwelling, to R-- l, single- famil- y dwelling. At its last meeting the council defeated the request 4 to 3. On the subject of tax base revision, City Manager Terry Novak said the city staffs community presentations were " not exactly striking fire in the community." The council also amended the city's can- ba- n ordinance eight days before its constitutionality is to be tested in Boone County Circuit Court. The ordinance, which was passed April 5, would require a five- ce- nt deposit on throwaway con-tainers. Opponents of the can- ba- n amendments ac-cused the City Council of changing the rules in the middle of the game by making two amend-ments to the ordinance before litigation on Feb. 28. The first amendment cleans up the language of the ordinance to exempt returnable beer bottles from a 5- ce- nt deposit. The second removes the wholesaler's burden of a 20 percent handling fee to be paid to retailers in addition to return deposits on refillable bottles. Olson seeks 12.9 fee increase By Jeff Gordon Missooriaa staff writer University President James Olson will recommend a 12.9 percent across- the- boa- rd student fee increase to the Board cf Curators Friday. Olson, in a statement released Monday, also said he expects to recommend another fee increase in the 1979- 8- 0 budget, although it would be more moderate. " Next year's increase, if approved by the curators, will cost resident students $ 39 a year more in incidental fees and out- of- sta- te students an additional $ 117. The increase would take effect in the 1978 summer session. The supplemental fees of medical, veterinary and dental students also would increase 12.9 percent Olson earlier had asked the four campus chancellors to review three fee increase options for the 1978- 7- 9 budget and report back to him. The decision to raise fees was made inSeptember when Increase protested .... Page 14 the curators adopted the University budget request. At that time, the method of raising fees was left un-decided. Columbia campus Chancellor Her-bert Schooling has advocated the 12.9 percent increase over the other models, which would have revamped the fee structure. One of the other models would have raised fees 20 percent for full- tim- e students and decreased fees 11.8 per-cent for part- tim- e students. The other alternative would have increased full- ti- me fees 14 percent, and would have maintained present part- tim- e fees. Schooling said earlier that he was opposed to restructuring fees in the same year mat fees were being in-creased. Dormitory fees also will go up $ 180 next year. The curators approved toe new rate at their Decembermeeting. - " The' principle of an improved fee structure remains under study, and my hope is that some changes will be adopted soon," Olson said. The increase will raise an additional $ 4.5 million to offset inflation during the last two years. In the past, the University has decided on fee increases after the budget process was finished and when it knew what its state appropriations were. This year, however, Olson and the curators decided to take action on fee increase proposals early in the budget process. Schooling said the University probably win continue to use this ap-proach. Olson has said deciding on a fee in-crease early shows the governor and the General Assembly that the University is more realistic and open in its budget request Egypt, Cyprus split over shootout NICOSIA, Cyprus ( UPI) - Egypt all but broke diplomatic relations with Cyprus Monday night in a bitter dispute over the airport shootout in which Cypriot forces killed IS Egyptian commandos trying to carry out an Entebbe- styl- e rescue raid at Larnaca airport.
