'Tough Year9 for Colleges in Congress

By WALTER GRANT
Collegiate Press Service
WASHINGTON -- With the risingcosts of the Vietnam
war, a conservative nnxxl in crucial Congressional committees and the possibility of further administration fund
freezes, federal programs for higher education face
another tough year in 1968.
This forecast is particularly gloomy since present
higher education programs fall far short of wliat educators say is needed by colleges and universities. What
(Congress did in 1967 didn't help and educators don't
exH-c- t
anything letter in 1968.
The Cutting Congress
In 1967, (Congress not only cut funds for a number
of education programs but also failed to provide budget
increases in many areas where programs cannot continue
at the same level without getting increased funds each
year. Thus, say educators, many education programs
which technically did wrf receive budget cuts actually
suffered severe cutbacks merely for the lack of needed
and expected increases.
President Johnson's total federal budget for Fiscal
1969 is expected to be at least $10 billion over what he
iwoposed for Fiscal 1968. But even if the Administration's new Uulgct request recommends increases lor
-higher education, there is little hope that Congress
which has been calling for cutbacks in sicnding-w- ill
approve many if any major budget increases.
Educators cite two reasons for their forecast that
PJtiS will be no better than 1967:
The most iuiortant problem, observers agree, stems
liom the Johnson Administration's heavy escalation of
s
the Vietnam war, which resulted in seveie budget
And as long as the war confor the government.
tinues at the present level, education olficials hold little
on the federal
lnpe for major new education programs
level or adequate funding for existing ones.
prol-lem-

Within the last year there have been several changes
in the composition of the House Appropriations Subcommittee for the Departments of Labor and Health
Education and Welfare, the committee that approves
funds for most higher education programs.

Fogarty's Death
The major change on the subcommittee resulted
from the death of its chairman, Rep. John E. Fogarty
Fogarty was considered a friend of higher
education and liad considerable influence with the
members of his subcommittee. His replacement as
is more conchairman. Rep. Daniel J. Flood
servative about fiscal matters and lacks the ower
that Fogarty enjoyed. In fact, the subcommittee is
(D-R.I- .)

(D-Pa.- ),

now controlled by Rep. Robert Michel (
who is
considered by many to be a hardline fiscal conservative.
Faced with these factors. Congress appears likely
to take relatively little action affecting higher education during the 1968 session.
"There may be some legislative reshuffling and
reorganizing of existing programs, but I don't exiect
any major new programs," says Jack Morse, director
of the Commission on Federal Relations of the American Council on Education. There are a few major
bills coming up, however.
A spokesman for the Special House Subcommittee
on Education said early attention will be given by
Congress to the Higher Education bill not completed
in 1967. The House subcommittee already has held
hearings on the bill, but may hold more. The Senate
Education Subcommittee plans to conduct hearings
early in the y ear.
The bill extends the National Defense Education
Act, the Higher Education Act of 1965, andthe National
Vocational Student Loan Insurance Act for five years,
Numerous revisions in the three Acts
to
are proposed in the bill. One would raise the interest
rates on loans for college academic facilities.

Increase Student Loans
Congress also may consider a proposal to beef up
the guaranteed student loan program which also was not
approved in 1967. The bill is designed to nuke the
program more attractiv e to lenders.
Education officials are expected to lobby for Congress to pass a new college housing program early in
the year. Bills introduced in both the House and the
Senate are designed to supplement the existing college
housing program, which is at a virtual standstill because funds authorized for housing loans have not been
released by President Johnson.

6 Communities Ask
For UK Colleges
'to
Passage of the University's
budget requests through the
Council on Public Higher Education will clear the way for the
development of four new community colleges. Petitions for the
new colleges were made in
According to law any new
community colleges developed by
the state are subject to University administration.
A request was also made by a
delegation from Northern Kentucky to convert Northern Community College at Covington to a
four-yea- r
state college.
UK now has 10 community
colleges; four more are in the
planning.
The requests for the six additional community
colleges
came from representatives from
Glasgow, Corbin, Henry County,
Madisonville,
Carrollton, and
Shelby County.
The council said it would give
the requests "immediate consideration" and submit recommendations on them to Gov. Louie
B. Nunn sometime this month.
In 1965 the Board of Trustees
set the current criteria for developing community colleges. In addition to support by the state,
the criteria include evidence of
adequate physical site, highways
and accessibility; potential student enrollment, local interest
and support and adequate housing and cultural attractions for
faculty.
Some 17 representatives from
Northern Kentucky said a four-yeschool would make available low-coeducation to stuy
area surdents in a
rounding Covington. The school
would open in 1972 as Northern
Kentucky State College.

'Butt-In- 9

They said that such a college, nxneover, would make it
easier for those in the area now
teaching with emergency certificates to complete their college
degrees.
Several of the six other colleges would serve overlapping
areas, according to the requests.
The Henry County delegation
called for a school to serve Henry
and Oldham counties also, as
well as eastern Jefferson county,
Anderson and Spenser.
Spokesmen from Carrollton
urged the construction of a college for students in Henry, Oldham, Owen, Trimble and Shelby
counties as well as Grant, Boone
and Gallatin. The request indicated that a site is available
near the Interstate71 interchange
near Carrollton.
The request for a new school
in Glasgow said it would draw
students from the six counties of
Metcalfe, Monroe, Cumberland,
Allen, Hart and Barren.

should decide to commit civil

related action.
The group wishes to avoid
these actions because four of their
members were arrested last seand the rest
mester for sitting-in- ,

PAG Chairman Bill Allison
said at the meeting that the CIA
"is the worst group" the PAG
has protested against. He feels
the CIA has been involved not
only in Vietnam, but also in
in several
military take-oveother countries.
"We've really got to do something about this," Allison said.
"There were 9,000 American boys
killed in the war last year; we
can think about this. It's up to
us to do something about it."

Cov. Heagan has angered California educators with his call
for tuition charges in the university system. Last week he
added fuel to the fire in his
"state of the state" address when
he attacked campus "troublemakers" and said he would call
for strict new legislation to control those who interfere "with
the orderly process of education."
In recommending autonomy
the commission also
suggested that the rigid central
university structure should be eliminated. It further recommended
that the university president and
the regents do no more than set
broad policies for the system's
nine campuses, and serve as "defenders" of the university in
struggles with the state government.

colleges would be given control
over its own budget, curriculum,
staff and physical resources.
Commission members do not
expect swift action on those parts
of the report that must have the
approval of the regents. A similar report, issued two years ago,
has never been acted on by the
regents. Other sections, though,
should be given fairly rapid consideration by Beikeley officials.

Our national pastime: football?
By DAVID IIOLWERK
If there were any doubt remaining,
it w as removed this holiday season: football is now our national pastime. The
endless series of bowls, playoffs,
and ultras clearly proved that baseball
has gone the way of the great auk.
Or, perhaps more accurately, baseball
has gone the way of the boarding saber.
but it
Baseball is still a good
can't match football in sheer brutality;
the boarding sabre is still a potent wea-pobut it hardly measures up against
the violence capabilities inherent in a
nuclear warhead, or even a submachine
gun.
So the flashing spikes of Ty Cobb
are no longer quite enough in the way
of physical contest. It is no longer sufficient to talk of a squeeze play, either
in politics or in sport, when the capability of throwing the bomb is never far
away.
This parallel between American pastime and American politics is usually
Bernie Casey of the
tacit: Artist-flankHams speaking of violence as a thing
of beauty, a silent film of a soldier in his
foxhole smiling as an F4 Phantom lays
a sheet of napalm on his unseen enemy.
But the connection was finally made
explicit by the professional football
leagues in an almost grossly tastelessly
and strangely unknowing manner.
Fittingly enough the occasion for this
revelation was the Super-Bow- l
game (The
Createst Sport Spectacular in the World),
s,

n,

which allowed all of the country to see
a nation like to do with
our time.
The announcer introduced the f'even-nia- n
o
Air Force
Squad ("The real
of this year . . . ") to the cheers
of the crowd in the Orange Bowl. And
then it was out. For it was clear that
o
football players were just
the
domestic, manageable counterparts of a
strange foreign phenomenon which we
are not all able to watch.
When a fullback plunges from the two
for the score, what we are actually seeing
is an allegorical reenactment of the taking
of a numbered hill by a determined assault.
A linebacker
blitz is a search and
destroy mission, a punt out of danger
is a helicopter rescue mission. And the
eighty yard pass is the bomb, the inevitable sheet of napalm.
It was cold outside my window when
I watched the Super Bowl, but it was
warm in Miami and the fans ate it up.
They watched a couple of squads of
men fight over an acre of ground, just
like the "real
do it, and didn't
even have to get cold like they might
have had to in Creen Bay.
Bart Starr sustained a bruised thumb,
but that was about all. Nobody got killed,
or even maimed, or shot or burned, but
the crowd accepted it good naturedly.

Kernel Forum: the readers write
To the Editor of the Kernel:
Since seeing my letter printed in The
Kernel Soapbox Dec. 11, I have been
dreading the moment when someone wiser
than I was going to make me look like
the ass I must be for having written it.
There were many things I said in that
letter which could have been disproved
by anyone with even a little knowledge,
and the dogmatic way in which I had
presented my ideas surely asked for some
kind of retaliation.
So w hen I started reading Jim Stacey's
letter in the Dec. 13 Kernel my heart
leat almost doubled in anticipation of a
real tongue lashing, and then as I went
through the first two paragraphs it almost
tripled because I saw (from all this Uncle
Remus stuff and my name spelled Lans-dea- l,
Lanseel, and Lanssmell w hic h only
the fertile imagination of an English
major could have thought up) this criticism, not even subtle, was just perfect
for what I had written.
But finally I got to the jx)int of your
argument and almost laughed out loud
in relief because what you had to say
was no better than what I said, and you
may have even mad
