"Although space will remain

The Kernel, which has celeit's 50th anniversary

regular weekly newspaper in 1915.
It began publishing on a

the editorship of Jim Hampton,

During its first years of publication, the Kernel was printed by
a commercial firm and was under
strict faculty control. Now, the
Kernel is printed with University
facilities, with student editors
responsible for its content.
In 1961, the Kernel began
publishing with new offset printing equipment, making it possible
for readers to receive their newspapers the day the news occurred

Assistant Managing Editor
Incomplete class schedules replaced long lines and petitions
as points for complaint in this
semester's four-da- y
registration.
Dean Charles F. Elton, Registrar, said that of the 85 percent of this semester's students
who preregistered, one-hawere
given complete schedules.
Those with complete schedules registered in less than half
an hour for the most part.
Registration for other students ranged upwards from one
hour Monday and Tuesday. But
Dr. Elton estimated twice as
many students came through Memorial Coliseum Monday as
Tuesday causing waiting, long
lines and frustration.
Possible reasons for Monday's
extra load, the registrar said,
was handling of new and transfer students as well as most
problem cases.
Many students, Dean Elton
noted, had probably tried to
"beat the system" by slipping

degree temperatures, long lines, and closed classes
were the usual signs of registration that greeted the 50 per cent
of preregistered students who were given incomplete schedules for
the Spring semester. About 85 per cent of the student body pre- registered with the remainder finishing up today.

Roll Call Vote Scheduled
For State Budget Today
BULLETIN

The Kentucky House early this
afternoon unanimously passed
Gov. Edward T. Breathitt's $2
billion biennial budget.
By JOHN ZEH

FRANKFORT-Hou-

se

debate

on trimming allocations for higher
education to provide pay boosts
for school teachers was expected
to precede, but not prevent, passage today of Cov. Edward T.
Breathitt's record $2 billion
budget.
The Governor's proposed two-yebudget for education is $474
million, largest in the state's
history. The figure is $94 million
more than the 1964-6- 6 allottment.
Nearly 36 cents of every dollar
of state revenue resources would
go for education under the proposed budget.
Some legislators, mostly Republicans, suggest that the higher
education allowance contains
"excess fat" that could be used
to increase the $400 pay raise
Cov. Breathitt has promised
teachers over the next two years.
Any cut in funds proposed
for higher education could conceivably lessen money allocated
the University. The $84 million
budgeted is already $10 million
less than UK requested, although
it is almost $27 million more
than the 1964-6figure.
The enlarged figure allows for
a 22 percent enrollment increase
on the Lexington campus, and for
1,300 more students in the community college system.

Faculty salary increases and
establishment of urban and agriculture studies would also be
included in the total.
The five state colleges, expecting their enrollment to jump
from 23,969 to 31,698, would receive a $21.71 million increase.
In his budget message last
Tuesday night, Gov. Breathitt
said the "dramatic increase" in
enrollments at UK and at the state
colleges "presents us with a great
challenge and a great opportunity."

His proposed budget calls for
nearly l'2 times more money than
is now allotted the schools.
Gov. Breathitt also proposed:
1. Scholarship
for
loans
"needy and deserving" Kentucky
students who desire a college
education. A modest $200,000 is
allotted over the biennium.
2. Activation of the statewide
educational television network by
fall, 1968.
3. Conversion of Lincoln Institute in Shelby County into a
new specialized center for gifted
children.
4. Rapid acceleration of the
vocational education program,
with erection of 22 new schools
and expansion or relocation of
the 13 already in operation.
5. Increased funds to provide
for 1,650 mentally retarded youngsters.
6. More money to build two
new regional libraries and to increase librarians' salaries.
7. Allocation of $300,000 to the
newly formed Kentucky Arts
Commission.
The largest part of the entire
--

one-thir-

education budget is the Minimum
Foundation Program for state
support of local schools. Cov.
Breathitt's budget calls for funds
totaling $287.6 million, an increase of $36 million over 1964-6-

into the coliseum a day early,
but there was no way of checking
it.
Handling of Selective Service
Cards was a catch holding up
University men throughout both
days, a problem which Dean
Elton attributed mostly to his
own office.
Due to complications in distributing them to local draft
boards last semester, selective
service cards were computerized
and had to be given out to students in a separate line.
Originally the plan had been
to mesh them with class cards
in one single packet, but due
to limited time, Dean Elton
explained, the conversion was
not made.
But the basic question of why
25 percent fewer students received complete schedules this
time than at fall registration
had no clear-cu- t
solution, he said.
Speculating on possible reasons for the rise in incompletes,
Dr. Elton said he felt there was
a different time pattern in registration for the spring semester
than for the fall. He pointed
out that in the fall, prcregis-tratio- n
is concerned with only
sophomores and upper division
students.
The variable for the spring
d
semester is the addition of
of the student body into
the computer program with the
consequence that a new group
of courses and class sequences
is introduced.

of-

ficial estimates indicate that the
state taxes will yield $170 million
more in the next two years than

they did last year and this year.
Gov. 'Breathitt called his appropriations bill a "budgetary
blueprint for further greatness in
Kentucky."
"It is not a stand-stil- l
budget,"
tie said. "It is not a mark-tim- e
budget. It is a budget for profor
for
gress,
growth but
balanced progress and balanced
growth."
He said "first place in our
thinking and in our recommendations" was given to education, because it is the "passkey
to progress for Kentucky, both
now and in the future."

A

more definite

possibility
lay in the
fact that departments were giv en
three months last summer to
create new course sections to
replace filled ones whereas they
had only eight days to do that
work in December.
"And that's just not long
enough," Dr. Elton commented.
Changes in class offerings after the spring schedule book came
out was a situation Dean Elton
noted as particularly frustrating
for the student.
He estimated that 125 sheets
containing from one to three
course changes each had been
turned in to his office alter the
class schedule book was published.
The dean emphasized that
students are rarely aware of these
changes and as a residt they are
not best able to choose future
courses.
"When you have this kind of
thing registration can never be
completely effective," Dr. Elton
continued. He commented that
there was probably a fairly high
correlation between the number
of such changes a department
made and that department's inefficiency.
Even with the high percentage of incomplete schedules
given out, Dean Elton felt that
most students would work out
their class problems through the
drop-ad- d
system.

The senior advertising and

for the past four years as a

But twirling is nothing new
to Miss Henderson. At the age
of five years, she performed with

point she became drum majorette
and eventually head of the majorette corps.

Reminiscing about the first
time she appeared with the band
in the 1962 torch light parade,
she said, "It was raining like
crazy, but nothing could dampen
my spirits that night."
Since then, Miss Henderson
has appeared consistently with
the band. During her first two
years she accompanied Donna
Wilson ( now Mrs. Bradley
Switzer) and Danny Barr, the
feature twirlers at that time.
After they "retired" she was
strictly on her own.
"I'll never forget what Danny
told me the first night I twirled.
"He said, 'If you drop the baton,
smile. Because if you don't drop
it, you're not doing anything
difficult.' "
Miss Henderson has kept this
thought in mind and her gracious
smile has always compensated
for any flaw in her performance.
When asked about any occasional "field fright," she confessed a trade secret. "My mother
told me when I was a little girl
that if I was afraid I should

During the week, she trades

is not the only thing at which
she works hard.
Miss Henderson will continue
to appear with the band during

"Of course, I will undoubtedly

she confessed, "but I will never

New Academic Program Spurs Appointments

By RON IIEKRON
Kernel Staff Writer
The new Academic Program
influenced several key appointments at the last meeting of
the University Board of Trustees.
Dr. Lewis W. Cochran, who
has been called "one of the
principal architects" of the new
program, was appointed University provost. He had held the
rank on at. acting basis since
last March.
UK President John VV. Oswald
recommended that the board appoint Dr. Cochran on a permanent basis, stating, "This is
an important step toward gearing
for major changes that will occur
at the University due to the
adoption of the Academic Program."
As provost, Dr. Cochran is
the chief academic officer for
the UK Division of Colleges
presently composed of the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Agriculture and Home Economics,
Engineering, Law, Education,
Commerce, and the School of
Architecture. He is responsible
to the president and Executive
Vice President Dr. A.D. Albright,
for the academic programs and
personnel of these colleges.
More specifically, he will
plan , coordinate, and evaluate
instructional programs, and work
with deans in development of
programs within and among the
colleges.
Dr. Cochran will also serve

as chairman of the Undergraduate Council, having authority
over academic programs and operations that are primarily related to undergraduate instruction, such as the Honors Program and the Office of Instructional Resources.
He will retain his professorship in the Department of
Physics.
Dr. Elbert VV. Ockcrman was
appointed the new dean of ad

r

-

missions and registrar. He succeeds Dr. Charles F. Elton, who
several months ago requested
reassignment in the area of institutional studies.
President Oswald stressed Dr.
Ockerman's role in the implementation of the new Academic
Plan, which will require some
reorganization in the office and
the initiation of new records
and procedures for strengthening
student advisement.
While retaining directorship
over the University's school relations program, Dr. Cochran
relinquishes his services with the
University's student scholarship,
loan and work programs.
The Trustees also named a
new associate dean for instruction in the College of Acts and
Sciences, Dr. Herbert Neal
Drennon.
Like the new provost and
dean of admissions, Dr. Drennon
will play a major role in the
new Academic Plan. Working
closely with the provost and
the other colleges, he will help
reorganize and strengthen student advisement and other student services.
UK president, Dr. John W.
Oswald said Dr. Drennon "has
demonstrated great capacity for
leadership in instructional administration and advisement."
The president added that this
position carries much import,
since, beginning in September,
1966, the College of Arts and
Sciences will enroll freshmen entering the University and they
will remain under that college's
jurisdiction through their sophomore year.

Capt. Slone admitted that the
extent of the burglaries might be
greater since the students are

a chance to check their possessions.

Capt. Slone said that numerous patrols around the area have
been tried and that no additional
patrol is currently in use.
"We do have walking patrolmen," he said. "But there is
no established pattern on foot

patrol cars to check the houses."

members of all races. The hiring
of the first Negro professor last
fall was another important example. But there is more that needs
to be done.
A Kernel survey last spring indicated Negro students met discriminatory practices in locating
housing facilities. Discrimination in women's dormitories seemed evident with no incidences of Negroes and whites
living together except where a
specific request was made.
UK social life, dominated by
Greek organizations,

turns a cold shoulder toward the
Negro student.
Recent fvents have improved
the University's racial image, but
unless other glaring inequities are
not remedied, UK will neither
serve to the fullest the state's
Negro population nor reap the
benefits it could of Negro talent.

It is obvious why James Hartz so

the dismissal of the three Western
students stemmed directly from the
fact that they dared publish at all.
For the past two academic years
I worked while at Western in the
minor position of dormitory counselor. Twice, a group of students
discreetly distributed mimeographed sheets through our dormitory and
others. The first group urged a boycott of a Bowling Green resturant
for its segregationist policies. The
second group engaged in a bit of
satire by furnishing elaborate instructions in finding a rather famous
local brothel which still escapes
the notice of Bowling Green authorities. On both occasions the counselors in our dormitory were told to
help in the identification of those
responsible.
It seems, in this recent case,
that those responsible were identi-

Greek organizations to benefit the

"underprivileged children."
Apparently Miss Rathbone is
not aware of all the other organizations demanding money, time,
membership, and effort. To name
a few, March of Dimes, Muscular
Dystrophy, Cancer, Red Feather,
Heart Fund, and many, many
others.
If one were to donate to all
of these organizations in a manner
advocated by Miss Rathbone, it
may lead one to economic oblivion, and possibly a recipient of
donations from the Heart Fund.
I am sure if the total donation
of the Greek organizations was
only five dollars, it would be five
dollars more than they had.
I certainly think Miss Rathbone
should revaluate her letter to the
editor, and look at such instances
with a little more intellectual insight.
