Nonresident tuition for the
University's Colleges of Medicine and Dentistry will be
$1,280.
At

the other five state colleges, nonresident tuition will
be raised from $100 to $380.
Last year the council had scheduled to raise their tuitions to
$430.

The $580 figure for next fall
includes a $40 incidental fee,
covering student union, yearbook, health, and other required

collected as part of the regular
tuition. Resident students will
pay $240 next fall, as compared
to this year's tuition of $175.
Ted Gillert, executive secretary of the Council on Public
Higher Education, said the tuition raises came as a result of
adverse criticism from both
houses of the Kentucky legislature.

A bill aimed at keeping "inpersons"
sidiously motivated
from invading Kentucky colleges
has been drawn up by the American Legion.
The Legion's legislative chairman, Louisv ille attorney Edward
Seiller, announced that lie hoped
the bill would be introduced
later this week.
The bill is aimed at outside
groups and would require individuals or groups wanting to
hold meetings other than "normal" college or university functions to have permission from

the school's governing body or
chief executive.
TlTfc bill would involve only
institutions the
University, Murray, Western,
Eastern, Morehead, Kentucky
State, and the various community colleges.
Jane Batchelder, Student Center program director, said the
bill probably wouldn't effect the
University to a great extent.
"Actually, I've never gotten
involved with anyone or any
groups because they first must
reserve a room in the Student

Center and that must come
through the Student Center Di-

rector's Office," explained Miss
Batchelder.
Miss Batchelder said any
group allowed to use the Student Center must first be approved by the faculty.

"If the faculty has approved
a group, then they are able to
reserve a room for meetings or
speakers as long as the meeting
is open to the general public.
This also includes any political
group on campus."

To Meet Teachers' Salary Demands

Breathitt Asks For Additional $24 Million
By

GENE CLABES

Kernel Staff Writer
FRANKFORT Gov. Edward T. Breathitt Wednesday
night introduced a proposal before the Ceneral Asdemands with
sembly that would meet teacher salary
of $24 million over the
an additional appropriation
next two fiscal years.
Gov. Breathitt also recommended giving local school
districts authority to levy one of three new taxes. Both
Commission
proposals evolved out of the Governor's
on School Financing. The Covernor spoke as chairman
of that group Wednesday night.
He recommended the state revise its estimate of
revenue to justify an appropriation of $24 million. This
is not a financing "gimmick," he said.
"We have found that this can be done, Gov.
Breathitt said, "out of anticipated revenue from an

he said.

stands now Kentucky is at the top among
Southeastern states in "salary scales paid to beginning teachers, and at the bottom in salaries paid to
As it

teachers with 10 years' experience."
The commission recommended any one of three taxes
which would be levied by local school districts.
He said one would be a tax on utilities, another
an occupation tax levied on wages and profits, and
the third a surtax on income.
Gov. Breathitt said the commission feels the proposed source of revenue linked with the 21 percent
increase in property taxes permitted over the next
two years would meet the teacher demands.
This will enable the state "to finance the more
urgent need for classroom construction and operating
expense in the overwhelming majority of our school

districts."

The commission also recommended it be established
as a permanent body for continuing study of Kentucky's
educational needs. The commission originally came out
of Gov. Breathitt's search for a solution to the teacher
protest on lower salaries.
On Feb. 3, 29,000 teachers, members ol the KEA,
were committed to stay out of schools across the state

in protest to proposed increase of $400 as compared to
a KEA demand of $900.
The KEA proposed that if the state failed to meet
its requests that "sanctions" -- blacklisting of Kentucky

be considered through the National
uld
Education Association.
Since the one-da- y
protest, which saw most schools
snow, Cov. Breathitt
closed because of an eight-inc- h
has worked directly at acquiring a way to meet the
teacher demands. Following the protest the commission
was organized.
Since the day of protest there has been increasing
evidence that the strike is having effect.
Cov. Breathitt, visibly concerned, met in his office
with a delegation of teachers and assured them he
would "continue to do everything possible to get you
the money you need and deserve."
Perhaps the most significant event occurred here in
Lexington when former Cov. Bert T. Combs addressed
school teachers and administrators.
Mr. Combs, who during his administration was a
favorite of education since during his term he granted
teachers unprecedented raises, told the enthusiastic group
the Breathitt Administration could and should find money
for the raises asked by teachers.

UK Students Stoop 'To Help A Little Child'
...

By SANDY HEWITT

Kernel Staff Writer
There's a saying, "No man
stands so tall as he who stoops
to help a little child."
Over 100 University students
will be doing just this at the
Manchester Center, a settlement
house in the Irishtown section
of Lexington. They are particisponpating in the
sored tutorial program.
"The main objective, of
course, is to combat the dropout
rate," says Libby Swanson, A&S
senior, who is program director
for the project. However, she
explains it is also important that
the children even have the op

portunity to develop relation
ships with college students.
The UK students teach spelling and reading at the center
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
afternoons from four to five.
"Last semester, we averaged 30
to 40 children per session, Miss
Swanson says, "and the main
problem was getting enough tutors who would come when they
were supposed to."
Finding tutors has been one
of the most frustrating things
about the program, according
to Peggy Cooley, University
YWCA director. "Tutors must
have commitment and sustained
interest," she explains, and they

the things which could be
changed in the project. This semester there have been meetings
where methods have been discussed, but chief resources are
left up to the students themselves.
"VVc hope the students will

with the students," Miss Cooley
admits for it is this rapport
which will motivate them to

officers:

In a major speech Wednesday night, President Johnson calmed fears of a "mindless
escalation" of the war in Vietnam.
The President assured the nation that
"never by any act of ours and not if there
is any reason left behind the wild words
from Peiping" will the U.S. enter a war
against Red China.
In the speech before the Freedom House,
where he received the organization's 196(5
Freedom Award for his promotion of civil
rights and his efforts to protect South Vietnam, the President said:
"We are united in our commitment to
free discussion. So also are we united in
our determination that no foe anywhere
should mistake our arguments for indecisionnor our debates for weakness."
The President then answered questions
which have been leveled at the Administration by critics of the Vietnam policy.

The questions the President answered
were:
"First, some ask if this is a war for

"Second, some ask if

"Fourth, some ask if our men

"Sixth, men ask if we rely on guns

"Seventh, men ask who has a right to
rule in South Vietnam. Our answer there
is what it has been here for 200 years: the
people must have the right the South Vietnamese people and no one else
"Eighth, men ask if we are neglecting
any hopeful chance of peace. And the answer
is, 'no'

Sick Patriotism
Pravda, the Communist Tarty
newspaixT, recently made a statement in response to foreign criticism of criminal conviction of
two Soviet artists on the basis
of their works. Pravda's response
we believe, has rclevence to a
current situation at the University.

The statement read: "Completely free in their creative activities,
the choice of subject and forms
of their works, the men of the
Soviet art and letters tell the truth
about our lift, our lofty ideals and

their implementation and the feelings and aspirations of the builders of communism."

Those who write along other
lines, Pravda added, are agents
of "imperialist idealogical subversion," not creative writers.
The Soviet Communist Party's
willingness to tolerate free expression of only that "truth" which
fits their ideological framework is
analogous to the count erdemon-strator- s
at Tuesday's Founders'
Convocation who showed
Day
themselves willing to tolerate only
one brand of "truth."
One of the most pathetic creatures on the American scene is
the misguided zealot, the pseudo--

a
patriot who sees democracy as
series of snappy parades and
ceremonies. But these same
Americans who adorn themselves
most heavily in the trappings of
"patriotism" arc frequently the
first to deny others their fundamental right of free speech, the
right to peaceable assembly, and
the right to dissent.

Ambassador Goldberg was scheduled to speak at 2:30 p.m. and the
orderly marching of the placard
carrying objecters, coupled with the
assenting "Victory in Vietnam"
literature distribution made the
long wait pass more quickly.
Then, an egg rose in the west.
From the crowd, eggs began raining
on the peaceful demonstrators,
causing embarassment to them
while drawing from the onlookers
peaks of laughter. May we state that
we laughed with the rest. Admit it,
someone being hit with an eggora
pie has always drawn laughter
through the years.
But now, while looking at the
whole affair in a more serious light,
was the situation a humorous one?
What exactly can be revealed by the

event just described? Didn't the
crowd profess love of democracy
and denounce the pickets for the
lack of that love? Didn't that same
crowd, or elements in that crowd,
then pepper with eggs those persons who were peacefully assembled; those persons who refused to
react violently to an attack on their

Communist Slavery
Again the Kernel takes 700
words or so to proclaim the Great
Truth of our time namely, bug
out of Vietnam, baby and will
allow me naught but a piddling
miserly 200 words for a rebuttal.
The Kernel states that a victory in Vietnam, a military victory in fact, is impossible One
may wonder just how the Kernel
staff is qualified to make such a
statement, particularly since Robert McNamara, Gen. Maxwell Taylor, Gen. Earle Wheeler, etc. have
said precisely the opposite.
A moment's reflection, however,
reveals Kernel writers have taken
numerous courses in journalism,
and are therefore now duly certified experts on such varied and
esoteric subjects as military strategy, geopolitics, logistics of war,
midwifery, and bottle-top

As for the Kernel's fear of Red
China hopping into the fray, I suggest that the staff stop plagiarizing the New York Times long
enough to read the Feb. 14 "U.S.
News & World Report," in which
they will learn that China's air
force is a joke, its navy an absurdity, and its army large but
poorly equipped by modern standards.
I have no quarrel with Gen.
MacArthur's statement that we
cannot win a ground war in Asia.
This is precisely why the war is
going so badly. We are fighting
the enemy on his own terms. Bold
new thought:
The nonchalance with which
the Kernel would lightly doom
the people of South Vietnam to
slavery under the Communist tyrants is not only disgusting, it is
morally irresponsible!

sity in last Saturday's MSU-Ubasketball game. Being a student
at Kentucky, I, unfortunately, have
to put up with such thoroughly
disgusting things as applause for
a good shot by an opponent, standing ovations for such outstanding
players as Clyde Lee and others
who perform well, and no trash
on the floor at any time.

I

didn't see last Saturday's

game since only MSU students
were given tickets. However, my
heart was wanned over many times
when I heard the 5,000 voice strong
chant, "Go to Hell Referee, Go
To Hell!" You know, when a referee really puts himself into a
game as do most SEC refs, that's
exactly what he wants to hear.
was .especially pleased with
the "official timekeeper" when he
yelled at the officials for calling
time when Louie Dampier got hurt.
Toby Pace, the referee, said the
boy was hurt rather badly and
that he called timer to get help
for him, but I can see how the
fans would have rathered the game

go on.
And when spectators hit the
assistant coach in the head with
a paper cup, that was great! And
when coach Joe Dan Gold went
to the Public Address system to
ask the crowd to stop and they
threw all the harder.

Congratulations again, MSU.
You're were beautiful, but I'm
sure you can do better than one

Mears Savs Vols Shoot M ore Than UK
J

Dy HENRY ROSENTHAL

Kernel Sports Editor
"I'll bet you," declared Tennessee coach Hoy Mears, immediately after watching the
University defeat Vanderbilt 105-9- 0
for the second time, "that
we shoot the hall more often
than Kentucky does."
"1 want to get the record
straight. We don't hold the ball.
It is our defense that makes
it appear that way," he said.
"There will be times when
we'll make Kentucky hold the
ball for 30 seconds or more,"
the Tennessee coach said.
Mears is in his third season
as head coach of the Volunteers.
His teams have met UK six
times and have won half of them.
In the games, the highest
number of points scored by the
Volunteers has been 78 and the
lowest 38 when the Wildcats

in a game at Nashwon
ville.
Does Mears slow the ball
game down?
According to Coach Adolph
Hupp of the University he does.
"Everybody knows they do,"
Hupp commented.
In statements after games
when their teams have played
Kentucky, several Southeastern
42-3-

Conference coaches have listed
Tennessee among the teams that
would attempt to beat UK by
the slowdown method.
"We kept a chart last year,"
Mears said, "and wc shoot the
ball every ten to 12 seconds.
I think this is higher than most
schools and probably even Ken-

tucky."

Tennessee has ranked among
the top defensive teams in the
nation and leads the SEC in
defensive play by a wide margin.
Until losing to Florida Monday night, Tennessee had recovered from a poor beginning
in league play which had seen
them lose four early games, virtually eliminating them from the
Florida, the
SEC race.
Vols won 10 straight.
The loss to Florida mathematically eliminated the Volunteers
and Mears from any chance at
the title which Tennessee last
won in 1943.
In his three years at Tennessee, Mears has guided his
team into second place twice.
"We aren't going to take any
wild shots," he said, "but neither
is Kentucky. You just don't play
the game that way."
"I think this game here is
