Armed with demographic statistics, Ezelle pointed out that
the percentage of people engaged
in agriculture had reduced from
44 percent to 18 percent in 20
years.
He said that along with the
agricultural decline, industry
had replaced agriculture in overall importance.
The labor leader suggested
that in nonagricultural counties the county agents had little or nothing to do for what

GENE CLABES
Kernel Staff Writer
The Board of Trustees today
approved a recommendation that
a University Development Council be established to serve in an
advisory capacity to UK President Dr. John Oswald.
The Development Council
will have 20 members, two of
whom are trustees, appointed
by the Board, and five
members to advise on all prival
fund development for the entire
University.
Also included on the council
will be the chairman of the Board
of Trustees, the chairman of the

Mr. Ezelle also suggested that
many of the agricultural agents
and home demonstration agents
married each other, and that

of the
Executive Committee
Board of Trustees, the President,
the vice president of University
Relations, and the director of
development.
The council will involve volunteer leadership of persons of
the "highest quality" who are
residents, alumni, Kentuckians,
of the state
and
to develop a program to evolve
' as a major
contributing factor
to satisfactory financial support
of the University's "effort toward
higher quality in its program."
Basic qualifications for Council members are:
1. Positions of leadership in
ts

their chosen communities whether regional, state, national, or

professional;
2. A commitment to the University aspiration to develop into
one of the nation's strongest
universities; and
3. A willingness to support
its aspiration.
The recommendation
said,
"The basic support of an institution such as the University
must come from the state and
we are deeply encouraged with
the growing support from the
Commonwealth of Kentucky.

"This is enabling the institution to meet the demands of

growing enrollments and the
growing demands placed upon
it for additional research and
service," the recommendation
said.
In other action the Board
approved the establishment of
a Department of Accounting, effective July 1, in the College
of Business and Economics. Prof.
William W. Ecton will be named
chairman of the Department, effective also July 1.
The establishment of the new
department is a further step
toward organization in the College of Business and Economics,
according to the recommendation.

that the
of business affairs,
Robert Kerley, and the treasurer
be authorized to enter into a

The audit is being done for
the "constructive purpose of examining and evaluating the
hospital fiscal policies and procedures," a report of which is
to be submitted to the Trustees.

speaker's forum proposed by the
two other candidates except the
plan is to stimulate other groups
to bring speakers to campus by
promising financial support. It
also support student

seminars.

Pratt said he would consider
changing the structure of the
assembly. He said Congress
might consider having representatives elected by various organizations and housing units.
Another idea Pratt proposes is
a loan program for student organizations which, in some time of
their life, need assistance. This
would cover financial needs of
fraternities, sororities, and other
organizations, such as the YMCA,
for projects such as tutoring programs.
This loan program would
assist organizations not included
for allocations in the Congress'
budget.
Pratt also wants Congress to
go on record as supporting recruitment of Negro athletes for

University teams. Besides encouraging the University to recruit
Negroes, Pratt wants Congress to
assist in the recruiting by sending
letters to prospective candidates
explaining the advantages of the
University.
Pratt said Congress also might
express its concern on this issue to
other SEC colleges' student
assemblies and ask them to unify
student government support on
Negro recruiting in the South.
Pratt said Congress should
lend assistance to such programs
as town housing and theCampus
Human Rights Commission.
Congress should also "reconsider the National Student Association and our relationship to
other campuses. The NSA is a
good national student voice," he
said.
Congress recently cut off its
affiliation with the NSA "without real study," Pratt said. He
said Congress should voice opinions on questions of national
interest that are relevant to the
college student.
