""S.

As future taxpayers, voters, and office holders
in Kentucky, the students at the University are
definitely concerned in the question now current
in the state "Should Kentucky write a new constitution."
As the constitution now stands, they are directly affected. The clause limiting the salary of
state officials, which includes college faculty, to
S.,(H0, is a serious handicap that reflects most
seriously on the young men and women enrolled.
Conservative-mindewriters of the constitution
back in 1890 set up a restrictive set of do's and
don't 's, shall and shall not's, instead of a broad
set of rules that would be a basis for governing
for a century later. This one clause: Sec. 246.
"So public officer, except the governor, shall receive more than five thousand dollars per annum, as compensation for official services, inde-.- .
jiendent of the compensation of legally authorized deputies and assistants, which shall be fixed
by law." has done more harm in the Commonwealth than unlimited salaries could have ever
done.
Dr. Donovan pointed out in his convocation
address on Friday that $.5,000 in the 90's was
equivalent of about $11,000 today, or if the salaries had been paid in tobacco that early evaluation would have jumped to $30,000. But the
rule is there, and there seems to be no way
around it. What man, with the education and
cxjx'i ience, the background it takes to become
president of a university, can afford to accept a
salary of $",000? He can make a personal sacrifice in the interest of his state institution, and
turn down tempting offers from
schools who offer him $10,000 or more. Or in
the absence of such generous service, the University might some day get a little man one
worth only $5,000 in the big position of pres- -'
idem.
What of a faculty member who distinguishes
himself in his field? Isn't it asking a lot to
i sin h a talented man to stay on the University campus just out of loyally and the goodness
til his heart. One thing is an absolute fact if
all the faculty members who could find excellent
and
positions on other campuses
the UK. faculty would shrink to practically
nothing. Think of the wonderful professors
that could come here to teach if they were offered
sufficient compensation for their efforts. How
the students would profit, and the University
grow. It is in the colleges that the future of a
state and a nation is made; so much depends on
the education of its leaders.
The commonwealth suffers in other ways
from this one clause. Lawyers can scarcely afford
to hold public offices with a meagre salary when
they can make $5,000 in one big fee in actual
ptadite. Many of the best men leave the state,
judges for example, when statesmen are so badly

The fascinating thing about the
organization is that it is completely
democratic: any student who is in-terested may join regardless of
classification, standing, college, or
previous courses in the department,
onl reauirement is interest,
and two consecutive attendances

The Philosophy club meets on
alternate Monday nights in Room
105 Frazee hall at 6:30 p.m. The
ln3tlal meetin8 win be held Monday,
Oct. 22, at which time Pvt. Herbert
Rickert, ASTP, will present a paper
on "The Mountain Looks At God."
About half of the programs are
under the leadership of members of
the club and half are devoted to out- side speakers. Some of the outstand-hous- e
ing speakers, last year were Dr.
Jnmeson Jones. fnilosODnv denart- ment head at Centre College; Dr.
Edward Ranells of the University

University Law college; Dr. L. S.

Officers elected in the spring to
serve this year include Libby

Included in plans for the year is

There is no levying of fees excent

Next Monday night will mark the
