statement concerning what action
the University will take on last
Friday's Court of Appeals reinter- pretation of the Kentucky Con- stitution.
The court held that the salary
limits for statewide officials shall
be $12,000 and $7,200 for officials
whose powers are less than state- wide. An earlier ruling by the
offi- court allowed
dais to be considered "employees"
and consequently not .bound by
the constitutional salary limits.
Uunder the Pardue ruling, Uni- versity' faculty members were
among those considered to be em- ployees of the state.
Dr. Peterson said some sort of
decision on ' the matter will be
made soon. He said, "The ques- tion of whether or not employees
were to be held to the salary of
officers was debatable, but the

A Sticky Situation
Once upon a time, we had hopes Kentucky would gradually advance
from its state of educational dormancy to a more respectable position
among the nation's school s stems.
But not so anymore.
For with one sweeping, .slashing blow, the Court of Appeals last
week made its widespread decision to limit the salary of state officers
to $12,000 a year and employees to $7,200 a year. The court, in all
fairness, performed .its duty in interpreting the constitution of Kentuckya constitution that is antiquated and impractical to the state.
But, in doing its duty, it may haveTand probably will have done
more to cripple education in Kentucky' than any event in the state's
history. The impact of the decision shocked almost every educator and
public official in the state.
But it especially hurt the University. For 23 of the faculty and administrative staff earn more than $12,000 a year and certainly more
were to be hired for salaries more than the limit. The new medical
school appears to be the hardest struck by the decision, since obviously
it is difficult to hire a doctor or a specialist for $12,000 a year. It will
be equally as damaging to the reputation of the University, which
already is renowned for not paying its teachers and administrators
high salaries. That some of UK's distinguished professors have accepted
more lucrative jobs elsewhere attests to this.
Heretofore, we were reminded of UK's progressive outlook with
the building of the new medical school, the initiation of the campus
master plan and increased requirements for students. It seemed that
although the state certainly was suffering from educational disease,
the University was stepping forward and perhaps pioneering a path
for better education and thus becoming the saviour of the state's

system.

!

Then the harsh reality of the constitution caught up with the University and state and threatens to hand both one of their worst economic, political and educational setbacks. It is a law, all right, but
fortunately law and justice are not always synonomous. .
The Kernel traditionally has kept its editorial nose out of the state
political scene unless, a decision was so controversial that it merited
comment. In this tasc, the antiquated constitution of the state finally
has crippled Kentucky enough so that it is time for such comment. For
behind the outmoded laws in the constitution, "there seems to be an

crisis: What to do about their increasing herds of "desert nightingales," the placid, homely and
fertile burros.
You can't eat a burro. The
human digestive system just isn't
designed to accommodate the
consistency, of
burro meat.
You can't ride a burro at least,
not very far.
You can't Just forget about him
and hope he'll go off and die
because he won't. A burro can find
food and water in places where no
other animal can survive.
You can train a burro to carry
a heavy load in rugged country,
but Jeeps are faster and cheaper.
So what good is a burro? This
question is beginning to bother
wildlife authorities in the West.
"In some areas of California,

at the University of California at

The burro will eat plants which
other animals won't even sniff.
Worse yet, he is wasteful, pulling
up plants by the roots and eating
only a few mouthfuls, thus ending
the chance that some other
animals may later forage in the
same area.
Brought to this country by the
Spanish conquistadores as beasts
of burden, the burro has no place
in this mechanized age. He was

Some years ago an effort was

close proximity with a burro can
understand, the fad is dying out.

static, old fashioned apathy.
For the Kentucky officials affected by the decision of the court
and the law in the constitution, the answer to' the problem could be
very simple. There are always better jobs awaiting outside the state
