Johnson Administration may be
tax credits for college expenses.
Such a plan won Senate approval last Friday by a vote
of 53 to 26, but was expected
to be blocked by the House.
However, a perceptible shift
in sentiment toward the tax credit
plan was sounded Monday by
some members of the Higher Education Subcommittee of the
House Education and Labor
Committee.
While this subcommittee does
not set tax policy, its members
are influential in helping to mold
house view on matters involving
education.
The tax credit plan, said Rep.
Edith Green,
"might go
through the House this year."
Mrs. Green is chairman of the
Higher Education Subcommittee. In past years, she and other
key members of her subcommittee
had strongly opposed tax credits

for college expenses.
But now, with spiraling college costs putting an increasingly
tight squeeze on family budgets,
Mrs. Green said, there has been
a noticeable shift toward support
of the plan in the House.

"We think its certainly worth
taking a look at this year," she
said.
Administration officials oppose college tax credits on three
grounds.

Prof. Morris
To Speak Here
Prof. Bernard S. Morris, professor of government at Indiana
University, will speak on "Intelligence Research and Foreign
Policy Making" at 8 p.m. Thursday in the auditorium of the
Commerce Building.
Between 1948 and 1963, Prof.
Morris served in the Bureau of
Intelligence and Research of the
Department of State, where he

headed the bureau's committee
on world communism. During
most of this period he also was
a professor in the School of International Service of American
University.
Prof. Morris is author of the
"International Communism and American
Policy."
The lecture, sponsored by the
UK Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce, is open to the public.

First, they say, it would cost
the treasury about $600 million
in the first year and about $1.3
billion annually by 1970.
Second, they term it "class
legislation" that would aid only
those with sufficient income to
pay taxes.
And third, they say that its
benefits to taxpayers would be

negligible, because institutions
would almost immediately increase tuition charges beyond
what they now feel they can demand.
"In effect, then, we would be
subsidizing private institutions
of higher education," Secretary
John W. Cardner of the Department of Health, Education, and
Welfare, told the Green subcommittee Monday.
d
Under the
plan, annual tax credits would
be provided to cover part of the
costs of tuition, fees, books and
supplies for college students.
A maximum credit of $325
for each student would be allowed
each year. That amount could
be deducted from the tax otherwise payable.
The credit would be 75 percent of the first $200 of educational costs, 25 percent of the
next $300, and 10 percent of the
next $1,000. It would be available to anyone paying college

did not exceed $25,000 a year.
Lesser tax credits would be
allowed for those with incomes
between $25,000 and $57,500.
There would be no credits for
those making over $57,500.
The tax credit plan was attached by the Senate as a rider
bill to reto a
store tax benefits for business
investment in equipment and
buildings.
The amended bill is expected
to win Senate approval later this
e
week. It then would go to
conference committee for
reconciliation of differences.
It has been widely assumed
that members of the House Ways
and Means Committee will insist
that the college tax credit rider
be deleted.
But even if this is done, further
attempts could be made this year
to win its approval, either as a
separate bill or as a rider to some
other tax measure.

A Child's Smile Is Merry
By OSSILYN

type, the children appear happy and
This contentment did not
develop spontaneously. Through the efforts of recreation therapist, Merry
Werner, a 1966 UK graduate, a program
is now underway so that each child is
furnished with recreational materials during his stay at the hospital.
"Dr Warren Wheeler, head of the
Department of Pediatrics, gave me the
title of 'Vice President in charge of
smooth hospitalization'," Miss Werner
laughed, "but to the kids, I'm the play
lady, the toy lady, or various other names.
Actually, I'm really the recreation therapist."
The main objective of Miss Werner's
work is to keep the children occupied
and interested in something while they
are in the hospital in order to keep
their minds off their illnesses.
"When the children are first admitted to the hospital, I go in to meet
well-occupie-

CEORGEANNE

and try to eliminate the initial
strangeness," Miss Werner explained. "I
try to do this by bringing in a familiar
toy, such as a coloring look or a paint
set something which the child has seen
before and can keep as his own toy."
Miss Werner remarked that the main
problem involved in selecting toys is in
dealing with children in isolation. "All
the toys used there must either be washable or disposable, and the supply is
limited," she said.
Opening the door of a small crowded
room, Miss Werner pointed out the cabinets and shelves lining her office walls
crammed with games, stuffed animals,
model cars, and an assortment of entertainment materials for all ages.
Miss Werner said that she purchases
the toys herself w ith the recreation money
allotted her, and in addition, someequip-men- t
is donated to the ward.
Aside from materials used by children
who are unable to participate in active
games, the pediatrics ward also is
equipped with a play room with an adjoining outside patio. Here children who
are able may make use of the push cart
scooters, a slidding board, swing set,
and a sand area.
Miss Werner explained that she tries
to make the hospital as much like home
for the children as possible and that she
favors giving the children new experiences while they are here.
"For example," she said, "we cele

ALEXANDER, C

brate all the holidays with decorations
and parties. For each child's birthday
we plan a party and have birthday cake.
Just before Easter I discovered that one
little girl had never colored eggs," she
said, "so we all had an
party."
The creative imagination of children
is evident everywhere in this ward. Lining one side of the wall in the main corridor are paints and drawings done by
the children in the ward.
"The children especially like dramatic
play," said Miss Werner. "Often they
will reproduce treatment they have had
with their dolls and the disposable
syringes the nurses give them," she said.
"One child who had had intravenous
transfusion made his own "IV" with a
needle, a piece of thread, and a plastic
ketchup container," she said.
In the evenings the patients and visiting relatives are entertained with movies.
With free popcorn and drinks the children
are able to capture the familiar atmosphere of the movies they have attended
at home.
g

Besides keeping the children entertained, Miss Wernes is also concerned
with the school aged children keeping
up with their studies while they are ill.
"I'm not a qualified teacher," she
explained, "and this is one problem we
still haven't solved yet. We would like to
find a retired teacher or someone else w ho

Also included in Miss Werner's work
is the study of the individual child.
"Every week the attending physicians,
nurses, social workers and myself have a
meeting to discuss the individual child's
case. Through my work I am able to
learn more of the home background about
the children. Thus, sometimes I can help
the others dealing with the children better
understand a child," said Miss Werner.
"I really enjoy my work," she
says. "It's rewarding and challenging
too. Sometimes just visiting the child
and letting him know that I'm his friend
is the best therapy," she concluded.

The Negro Dilemma
Events of the past few weeks
have illustrated that there is a
serious problem in human relations on this campus. Negro students, in a series of interviews
with The Kernel, indicated that
they were dissatisfied with the
treatment they have been receiving from white students in many
areas of University life.
Secondly, the Campus Committee for Human Rights' "Bitch In"
resulted in the first attempt on this
campus to air the problems both
races have in communicating with
one another. As Bill Turner, CCHR

ternity or sorority if they desire

President, pointed out, "The Negro student here today learned
there were more people on his side
than he thought previously. We
also found out those who stand
on the other side, and now we
can begin working on them."
This is the point. Immediate
action should be taken by student
groups and individuals to make
this University a truly free institution of racial pride and scholarly
dignity for all.
We think most of the problems
in communications are student oriented. The administrative "coldness" the Negroes speak of, and
the few strands of faculty prejudice in the classroom, are situations which are not as concrete
and require far less immediate attention than the "obvious breakdown in racial understanding and
pride."
While white students seem to
be at a loss in understanding,
most of the Negroes think the
major "breakthrough" in race relations will come when a Negro
enters the Coliseum floor in a
Kentucky basketball uniform.
The recruitment of Negro athletes is in the embryonic stage
at the University. Head Football
Coach Charlie Bradshaw should

receiving federal funds. If HEW
received a complaint stating that
a school receiving such funds had
fraternities or sororities that reject
Negroes or other racial groups,
the department would have to in-

to do so. Last semester Administration officials, when asked by
The Kernel if there was any discrimination on the part of the
Greeks, replied unanimously that
"the Greeks don't discriminate on

this campus."
Such a hypocritical statement
is a blatant threat to the accreditation of the University. In 1965
the then Commissioner of Health,
Education and Welfare, Francis
Keppel, stated that "The 1964 Civil
Rights Act requires that there be
no racial discrimination in schools

vestigate.
"If discrimination were found,
and the school refused to correct
the situation, the Office of Education would be placed in a position under the 1964 law in which
it would have to cut off federal
funds."
