By

WALTER GRANT

WASHINGTON
(CPS) -President Johnson has asked
Congress for modest increases
in federal student aid programs
during fiscal 1969, but the increases will be offset by severe
reductions in higher education
construction funds.
In his budget message sent to
Congress today, the President
requested an increase of $112
million for existing student
financial aid programs. But the
budget shows a decrease of $82
million in the amount of federal funds for construction
grants to colleges.

The administration's

budget

also asks $23 million for proposed new legislation in the area
of federal assistance to students.
This apparently refers to President Johnson's promise in his

State of the Union message that
he will recommend passage of
an educational opportunity act
"to keep up our drive to break

down financial barriers separating our young people from college."
Details of this $23 million
student aid legislation will be
included in the President's education message, which will be
sent to Congress within the next
few weeks.
The administration's 1969
budget request also includes
an increase of about $86 million
for educational research in the
Office of Education, and an increase of nearly $70 million for
teacher training.
About $18 million of the increase for teachers training is

designated for expanding the
Teacher Corps, which received
a severe financial beating by

Congress this year. If the President's request is accepted by
Congress, the present Teacher
Corps of 1,000 members would
be expanded to bring 1,500 new
members into the program this
coming summer, and 1,500 more
in the summer of 1969, for a
total of nearly 4,000 corps members by the end of fiscal 1969.
Despite these increases, the
budget outlook for education in

fiscal 1969 remains gloomy for
two major reasons:
As a result of the rising costs
of the war in Vietnam, a fiscally
conservative mood prevails in
Congress, and cutbacks are expected in nearly all of the administration's requests.

Higher education presently

is

suffering not only from the lack
of sufficient appropriations in
fiscal 1968, but also from the
across - the - board cutbacks in

federal spending ordered by

Congress late last year. Higher
education construction funds,
for example, were cut by about
$150 million this year, about
one-thir- d
of the entire year's

budget appropriation.
Wilbur Cohen, undersecretary
for the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare, described the administration's budget request as "large but constrained." He said the administration decided to give priority
to "programs involving people
and research rather than to
bricks and mortar."
Mr. Cohen conceded that the
unmet needs in education "are
very great," and he added
"there will be unmet needs for
years to come. But this budget
will enable us to continue the
forward thrust in the major programs."

However, he also says, "I
have no desire for those people
to come onto the campus who
come there with the idea of trying to create a disturbance or
advocate any philosophy which
would disrupt the peace and tranquility of the college commun-

ity."
Gov. Nunn also is chairman
of the University Board of Trustees.
A Kernel reporter was told by
Gov. Nunn's press secretary-Warr- en
Schweder-th- at
no bill
has been proposed that could interfere with Aptheker's scheduled
appearance at UK.

But, Mr. Schweder continued,
"when this man's speech is announced, "one sure as hell will
be." And he added, "The governor won't be happy to hear
about this."
While campaigning for his
present office, Mr. Nunn advocated restrictions against certain
speakers at state university campuses. But he made no public
allusion to Aptheker until Monday.
Robert L. Johnson, vice president for student affairs, told the
Kernel that Aptheker's appearance here would violate no University rules.

The SC Forum Committee, in
keeping with its policy of presenting both sides of controversial issues, said a program in
February will feature the
views of Cuban and
Vietnamese refugees.

Federal Support Has Made The Difference

UKRF: Double Its Money In Just 4 Years

By GRETA FIELDS
The University of Kentucky Research Foundation
(UKRF) has doubled its research activities in the last
five years. Its total research expenditures have increased
from about $5 million in 1963 to more than $10 million
in the 19G7 fiscal year, says James Y. McDonald, acting

executive director of UKRF.
Mr. McDonald projected that research expenditures
will increase to more than $15 million within the next
four or five years.
Not only have UKRF's research expenditures doubled
in the last five years, the University's total expenditures
used specifically for research have doubled in the past
four years. The sum doubled from $6.3 million in
1961 to about $15 million for the fiscal year 1967-6notes Clay Maupin, University assistant treasurer.
The $15 million total is made up of funds for "sponsored" research which UKRF brings in, plus funds
for other "organized" research.
UKRF appropriates funds for organized research
which is paid for by outside sonsors, such as government, private individuals, foundations and so on. This
is sjonsored research.
Organized research is any research which is separately and sK'tiiically budgeted.
ILe $15 million does not represent all funds sent

University research funds are increasing involves, to
a great extent, an understanding of why UKRF is
bringing in more funds.
Mr. McDonald, who became acting executive director in May 1967, explained that UKRF's funds increased as a result of federal grant activity, which was
scanty when UKRF was founded.
UKRF was organized for the purpose of furthering
research at the University, Mr. McDonald said. However, during its early years, the foundation was concerned mainly with administration of gifts, which took
the form of scholarships to students.

At the time UKRF was founded (it was incorporated
May 18, 1915, "there was a genera opinion that state
appropriations should be used for instruction and that
research (except in agriculture) was not a major function of a state university," according to a historical
sketch of UKRF.
Accordingly UKRF had small government support at
first.
However, "with the advent of major federal supioit
of research in the 1950's UKRF became involved in a
big way with research," Mr. McDonald said.

Bonnie and Clyde

One of the biggest fashion influences of the season is the movie
"Bonnie and Clyde." The movie has brought back many of the
styles of the 1920's, including double breasted suits, flapper hats,
pin stripes and curly hair.
The curly hair look is achieved pearls and deeply V'd necklines.

outweigh the disadvantages.

Four of the girls agreed that
their grades have improved since
they moved into an apartment,
while two admitted they studied
more in the dormitory. All six
thought that students should
spend at least one year in a dormitory before they tried the adjustment to apartment life.
The one girl who preferred
living in a dormitory said she
was distracted from studying in
an apartment. "There were people living in the building who
worked and had no school obligations. They bothered me with
their coming and going at all
hours," she said.
She feels she studies more in
the dormitory because she is "surrounded by people who have to

Getting away from the noise.
Being able to invite your
boyfriend in and being able to
give parties.
Not having to "report every
time you go in and out."
Getting out of dorm meetings.
Not "getting kicked out during holiday breaks."
The girls particularly disliked
aspects of dormitory life such
as the "constant noise," the cafeteria food and standing in line

As one girl said, "you pay

None of those who preferred

apartment living believed they
lost time in cooking and cleaning. One said she could "fix a
meal before the girl in the cafeteria line got to the food."
Several of the girls felt living in an apartment had helped
them because it "helps you accept, responsibility: you have to
do things for yourself and you

mature faster."

They also said they "felt more
like a person and less like a number," and "an apartment is more
like a home instead of just a
room to sleep in."

The students did name several
disadvantages. They said they often lost contact with their old
friends and they didn't meet as
many people. A few felt "a little"
separated from campus activities
and they missed the "companionship" in the dormitories.
The girls who had the most
problems were those without
cars. They found it difficult to
get to and from the grocery store
and the laundry, and they felt
the apartments were generally
located further away from classrooms than the dormitories.

The ones who did have cars

"meaningless rules," the sign-i- n

With one exception, the girls
said it costs less to live off campus, "unless you have extravagant food tastes."

Commenting on NCCJ's role
in the furtherance of brotherhood,
Dr. Oswald said:
"Education is a course of

the mind and heart, and takes
place in the minds and hearts
of individuals. It results from
clear and hard thinking, the interchange of ideas, and

and misunderstandings."

James Stirling, an internationally known English architect, will
offer a lecture which is open to

Alabama Witch-Hun- t
In Alabama last year, yes,
Alabama, the state Senate refused to by bulldozed by witch-hunteinto passing a bill aimed
at barring subversive speakers
from the campuses of
schools.
Prof. William W. Van Alstyne
has studied the constitutional
considerations of banning political speakers from state universities. He concludes that a school
limitation on guest speakers indicates unjustified fear of social
criticism and skepticism about
student intelligence.. The Constitution, the Ohio State law professor points out, permits a state
to ban only people who would
exhort their listeners to unlawful
action if it is obvious they would
succeed in their attempt.
A ban aimed at a certain
speaker rather than a particular
course of action on a specific
occasion goes too far, states Prof.
Van Alstyne. Current interpretations of the fourteenth amendment would not permit a general
ban unless it could be demonstrated that it would be unlawful action advocated.
In regulating use of its facilities, a state school may not
discriminate against speakers for
the supposedly disreputable or
controversial nature oftheiropin-ion- s
or for their political affiliations. This is prohibited by the
equal protection clause of the
Constitution. A school with a
broad policy allowing any recognized student group use of its
facilities may not discriminate
between Young Americans for
Freedom and Students for a
Democratic Society.
Perilous Interference
One central thesis of those
who favor speaker restrictions is
that, with racial rioting and Vietnam, there exists a clear and
present danger that justifies suppression of certain rights of

"Do those who would suspend

CAUSE AND CURE

Are you still writing "1967" on your papers and letters ?
I'll bet you are, you scamp! But I am not one to be harsh
with those who forgot we are in a new year, for I myself
have long been guilty of the same lapse. In fact, in my
senior year at college, I wrote 1873 on my papers until
nearly November of 1874! (It turned out, incidentally,
not to be such a serious error because, as we all know, 1874
was later repealed by President Chester A. Arthur in a fit
of pique over the Black Tom Explosion. And, as we all
know, Mr. Arthur later came to regret his hasty action.
Who does not recall that famous meeting between Mr.
Arthur and Louis Napoleon when Mr. Arthur said, "Lou,
I wish I hadn't of repealed 1874!' Whereupon the French
emperor made his immortal rejoinder, "Tipi que nous et
Well sir, they had many a good laugh about that,

as you can imagine.)
But I digress. How can we remember to write 1968 on
our papers and letters? Well sir, the best way is to find
something memorable about 1968, something unique to fix
it firmly in your mind. Happily, this is very simple because, as we all know, 1968 is the first year in history that
is divisible by 2, by 5
