HINOM PENH,

Cambodia-I'rin- cc
Norodom Sihanouk
charged U. S. officials today with a hand in plotting against
his neutralist government and told a cheering
rally American
aid was being used to undermine him.
Sihanouk's previously announced threat to end all American
assistance by Dec. 31 was endorsed by thousands of his supporters at

a special public congress of his political party. The
prince is Cambodia's chief of state.
signs appeared throughout the city. "Go home,
Yankee," they said. "Away with foreigners displeased with our beloved leader's policy." "Foreign aid is not necessary for the survival
of Cambodia."
In a tactic reminiscent of Fidel Castro's Cuba. Sihanouk paraded
two political prisoners who said they had conducted
activities in a strategic hamlet In neighboring South Vietnam
under control of U.S. military advisers.
They said Radio Free Cambodia transmitters were set up in such
villages. One prisoner said he was supplied with a transmitter by
U.S. officials and even given a telephone line linking him with South
Vietnamese military authorities.

Rarglioorn Applauded

WASHINGTON Yale Prof. Frederick C. Barghoorn was greeted
with applause by State Department employes as he arrived today
to tell about his 16 days In a Russian Jail.
The quiet professor declined, in advance of a luncheon
with high department officials, to shed further light on
the mystery of his sudden arrest by the Soviets which created an
International incident.
He would not comment to newsmen on a published report by
the Washington Evening Star that a Russian deliberately thrust a
bundle of papers into his hands on a Moscow street and then Soviet
security agents grabbed him on spy charges. Barghoorn was in Russia to gather material for a book. President Kennedy denied he was
a spy.
A couple of hundred State Department employes lined up about
an entrance to the department clapped enthusiastically as Barghoorn entered the building. Presumably this was applause for his
release by the Soviets which the State Department had urgently
sought.

Man Questioned About Blast

A white man was questioned by police
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.
today about an explosion four blocks from a University of Alabama
dormitory occupied by a Negro coed.
A. L. Richey of Tuscaloosa, was picked up
The man,
near the scene of the blast, the third within three clays in this
university city.
Richey denied knowledge of the explosions.
Police Inspector Henry Butler said Richey told officers he had
parked and fallen asleep in his pickup truck when the blast went off
shortly after midnight Tuesday. Richey said he had been to a tavern.
"So far his story checks out," said Butler.
In Richey'3 truck, police found a shotgun and two newspapers
which carried accounts of two earlier explosions. Richey told police
he had the gun because he intended to trade it.
Butler said there were no definite leads in the bombings.
"So far it seems to be harassment more than anything else," he
said. "There is no real indication one way or the other that the
explosions have any connection with the Negro student's presence
at the university."

Communists Active

Tn

Saipon

SAIGON. Vietnam Communist terrorists have been sent into
Saigon to blow up government and U.S. military installations and
kill American personnel, Vietnamese security sources said today.
Eager to discredit the new military regime, they have thrown
usual caution aside and are recruiting any persons who say they
support the communist Vict Cong cause, the informants added.
Consequently agents of the Vietnamese security forces have
been able to infiltrate the Communist recruiting program to pry out
secrets and clear the way for crushing the new terrorist campaign.
Bomb explosions in Vietnam's capital are occurring at the rate
of at least one a day.
Security sources said that three Viet Cons agents captured following recent explosions reported they were members of a group
sent into Saigon from "D" Zone, a barren area north of Saigon,
long regarded as a communist base.
They were told to work independently in the city, choosing as
prime targets government and military installations and American
homes and personnel.
One explosion Sunday night in a downtown Saigon open air
restaurant wounded three U.S. servicemen.

Council On Higher Education
Sends Budgets To Assembly
g
project.
One of the principal arguments
for the proposed Increases is the
institution's effort to attract better teachers. According to Dr.
Adron Doran, president of More-hea- d
State College, 35 percent of
its faculty Is in the upper ranks
and it is these teachers who do
the most proficient Jobs.
"We have not been able to hire
enough people in the upper
ranks," he said. "This formula
will help us to equalize that so
that we can get more qualified
teachers in the upper ranks."
The budget requests were figured on a formula, similar to the
Minimum Foundation
Program
for elementary and secondary
schools. The council adopted the
formula earlier this year. Dr.
Robert R. Martin, president of
Eastern State College, said the
formula permits enough money
to do an adequate job of educating students and distributes
funds fairly among the institutions.
Dr. Martin said Eastern's staff
ought to be paid as much as comparable teachers at the University and its community colleges.
To do otherwise would create a
three-layrange of salaries for
teachers in Kentucky, he said,
with University teachers being
the highest paid, community colleges the next highest paid, and
state colleges professors the lowest paid.

New Request

About Twice

Budget requests for the
University and the five State
colleges are nearly double
what the institutions received
during the current 12-G- l

has caused the institutions to

The 1962 General Assembly
provided $61,500,000 for higher
educational needs for the two
years ending June 1.
Each college president presented his request to the Council on
Public Higher Education and they
were approved. Large increases
in enrollment and a need to upgrade faculties were the main
reasons for the increases.
The University
requested
S69,3(i3,(i77, an increase of
820,000,000. Of the University's
request, $10,509,710 was asked for
funds to aid indigent patients at
the Medical School and for its

About $53,500,000 of the total
requests would go for instructional salaries. An increase in
faculty size is also necessary
of a student increase possibly as much as 46 percent.
"The question is how we can
maintain quality as well as improve in quantity in the face oC
booming enrlolments," Dr. Mar
tin said.
The figures "represent what ll
needed to do the Job of education
at Western, and do it adequately," said Dr. Kelly Thompson, president of Western Kentucky State College.
"We would be unfair if we did
not admit that we cannot continue to accept more students
without an attendant decrease in
quality," Dr. Martin added. Thus,
he said, the need for highec
teachers' salaries is great.
Here are the total requests of
the institutions, with approximate increases over the current
biennium:
The University, f.09,363,077,

conceivably could receive money

Dr. Doran remarked, "Do you

"If you want to change the

Dr. Oswald said he was thinking only in terms of the interest!

Furl Jacoby of the state Bud?et

The Language Requirement
The University's graduate program, which has been making prog-les- s
in recent years, is putting an increasingly heavy burden on the Department of Modern Foreign Languages.

To obtain a master's degree, the
University requires a student to be
proficient in one modern foreign language. To qualify for a doctorate, the
student must know two.
University regulations state the
students must have a written proficiency of the language. Vet, if the
student has not completed the undergraduate requirements for the language he is attempting to learn, the
lules say he must take classes all of
which stress learning by conversation.
The student cannot learn the lan- -

guage on his own time. He must spend
hours learning to speak the language,
going to classes where syntax and
spelling are slighted in order to stress
conversation. But then he faces a long,
written examination to qualify for an
advanced degree.
This rule puts the student at a
disadvantage in learning the tongue,
while it also diverts his time from
other studies. But what is worse, it
contributes to a serious overcrowding
of the undergraduate language classes.
In short, abolition of this regulation
could help both the graduate students and the University.

Letters To Editor
Editorial Policy

To The Editor:

I would like lo compliment the
Kernel on its fine editorial policy.
Realizing that what this campus
most needed was less talk about impractical things like student housing
and integrated athletics, the Kernel
has concentrated on bringing really
important issues to the fore such as
the Washington Seminar, the Campus
Parable, or whether the Marching
Band is really marching. Furthermore,
it is a real credit to the Kernel's editorial staff that it has taken the time
and effort in showing the initiative
to put out a really informative editorial page.
In fact, there is so much information on your editorial page that
)ou have practically eliminated the
need for printing letters to the editor,

From The Jewish Tradition
Rabbi Judah

was very well known
he was a kind man and a

because
great scholar. One day people from a
distant city invited him to come there
to teach the Torah (The Pentateuch).
The Rabbi knew very little about the
jeople in that city so he decided first
to send one of his servants there to
find out what they were like.

The servant arrived in the city and
immediately visited a drinking establishment. He became drunk and fell
into the street hurting himself. The
people i d used to give him food and
shelter because he was drunk. When
lie returned, the servant said to Rabbi
Judah: "Do not go there. The people
:ue witked. They refused me lood
imd shelter."
Rabbi Judah, however, was not
convinced, so lie sent another seivant,
who was considerably nioie pious, to
visit the city. Immediately upon his
juiival the second seivant went to the
Synagogue wheie everybody paid him
much lespect and tieated him as a
.welcome guest.
.When he came back to Rabbi

Judah, the second servant said: "The
people are very kind. They treated
me with respect and offered me food
and shelter. Accept their invitation."
When Rabbi Judah heard the second report, he said: "Many times we
cannot judge by a report because the
fault may lie with the person who
reports. If lie looks for bad things in
a city, he is sure to find them, as did
my first servant. But if he looks for
the good things in a city he is sure
also to find them, apologize for my
first servant who only saw the bad
points because he did not bother to
look for the good ones."

(Editor's Note: The following article is taken from Gov. Bert Combs'
Report to the People of Kentucky
and concerns the growth in education
in the State in the last four years.)
Since I960 public education has
made the greatest gains in the history
of Kentucky. More new classrooms
have been built than ever before in a
r
period; the loss of teachers
to other states is slowing to a trickle;
standards for teacher qualification
have been raised; a comprehensive
network of vocational schools is being
'
established; 10 community colleges
will make higher education available
to local areas; and the spadework is
completed on what will be the most
comprehensive educational television
network in the United States.
In 1959 educational opportunities
in Kentucky were far below acceptable
standards. Many schools were old, outmoded, and overcrowded; the
school was still commonplace;
teacher salaries were low; many teachers were not adequately prepared for
their job, and over half the new teachers graduating from Kentucky colleges
were going to other states to teach;
vocational education was not generally available; and institutions of
higher education needed more facilities to handle increasing enrollments.
In the last four years state financial support for the over-al- l
expansion
and support of Kentucky's education
system has increased 81 percent over
the previous four years. All new elementary teachers qualifying for full
certification now must hold a college
degree, and teacher salaries have been
increased an average of 1,185 annually.
Equally impressive advances have
been made in higher education. With
enrollments at the University of Kentucky and the five State colleges now
totaling some 10,000 more than in
1959, the greatest expansion program
in the history of Kentucky's institutions of higher learning has brought a
"new look" to the campus of every
State institution of higher learning.
In addition, the University of Kentucky Medical Center, which was begun in the preceding Administration,
has been fully stalled and put into
operation.
The total result is that Kentucky,
long at the bottom of the educational
ladder, today is leading the nation in
many areas of educational progress.
Here are some of the highlights of the
four-yea- r
advance:
In the greatest surge of school construction in the state's history, a total
of 102 new elementary and 32 new
high schools have been built. Additions have been made to 181 elementary and 87 high schools, and improvements have been completed in 709
other buildings. Over 500
schools have thus been eliminated.
This massive construction program
was launched not only to replace outworn and outdated buildings but also
to keep pace with the rising tide of
enrollments an increase of 88,000
elementary and high school students
dining this Administration. Enrollment in Kentucky elementary and
high schools has reached a new record

An educational television nctwoik
for Kentucky has been originated. It
will be the first in the nation to serve
an entire state, will make available
to even the smallest and
schools top-- i light instruction to supplement regular classroom work.
By making available in the
televised instruction prepared
by the nation's leading education experts, the Kentucky educational television network will provide an invaluable boost to the rapid gains Kentucky
is making in better instruction and
expanded school curricula.
Transmitters will be located at 11
sites throughout the state so that every
Kentucky school district may participate in the program if it desires. With
most of the groundwork now completed, the television network may go
on the air as early as the fall of 1961.
Construction is now under way on
a new
academic building
at the Kentucky School for the Blind
in Louisville and on a new vocational
training building at the Kentucky
School for the Deaf in Danville.
The new building at the School
for the Blind will replace the last
antiquated structure still in use. In
addition to classrooms, it will house
an industrial arts shop, home economics suite, a library, and special facilities for music courses.
The vocational education building
at the School for the Deaf will house
classes in graphic arts, woodworking,
tailoring, leather working, drafting,
electronics,
repair, bookkeeping, and typing. Plans are benig
drawn for two new cottage-typdormitories at the school one for boys and
one for girls.
This administration sponsored
legislation to establish five additional
r
community colleges throughout the state. Serving a wide local
area, these colleges will offer couises
leading to certified degrees and technical training for those students unable to attend more distant institutions. The community colleges will
also olter
and arts
and sciences courses for students who
will later transfer to a regular four-yecollege. All five community colleges will be administered by the University of Kentucky, as are the live
existing community colleges.
Construction has begun on the colleges at Eliabethtown and Prcstons-burand planning is well advanced
on the other three sites authoried
by the legislature Somerset, Hopkins-villand the
area.
To meet the needs caused by
enrollments (19,850 in 1959 vs.
30,000 today) classrooms and dormitories housing 5,715 students have
been completed or will soon be opened at the University of Kentucky and
the five State colleges.
