UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY, LEXINGTON

UK Budget
Approved
By Board

The University's Board of
Trustees Executive Committee
approved President John W. Os-
wald's $184 million biennial bud-
get for 1968-70 in a meeting Mon-
day.
The budget, largest in the
University’s history, tops the
1964-66 budget by $28 million. It
now goes to the State's Council
on Public Higher Education
which considers the budget in
light of requests from the Com-
monwealth’s five other state uni-
versities and makes a reccom-
mendation to the governor.

Fifiy-nine percent of the bud-
get comes from State funds. The
rest, some $75 million, comes
from the University's own in-
come, its auxiliary services, and
restricted funds.

Dr. Oswald said the budget
is designed to “provide for those
students with suflicient faculty,
classroom and office space, and
the expense of equipping and
operating the facilities ofthe Uni-
versity community."

In his letter to the Board
introducing the budget, Dr. Os-
wald said the figure will take
care of an 11 percent increase in
undergraduate enrollment, a 16
percent increase in the graduate
program and a 21 percent in~
crease in community college en-
rollrnent.

Teachers’ salaries amounted
for the largest percentage of the
budget— 17 percent. The next lar-
gest category was within the
University Hospital, where a83.1
million increase in allocated finds
is called for.

Medical Center increases in-
clude the addition of 48 faculty
members.

Other provisions in the 1968-
70 include:

123 additional faculty in un-
dergraduate teaching.

123 additional faculty in the
community colleges.

Development of a Natural

Resourses School.
Community college installa-
tions at Maysville, Hazard,

Louisville, and Paducah.
Strengthened library facilit-
ies. -
More student aid programs.
Expansion of the physical
plant.
Maintainence of competitive
faculty salaries.

Dented Image Could Hurt
University’s Budget Request

By DARRELL CHRISTIAN

When the General Assembly
convenes in Frankfort next Jan-
uary, it will be confronted with
the largest budget request in the
University's history.

The Board of Trustees voted
Monday to ask the legislature for
$109.5 million to run its opera-
tions for the next two years. The
figure is $13.0 million higherthan
the University requested forl966-
68 and $24 million more than it
received.

It is significant to note that
the record request comes on the
heels of several controversiesthat
may have dentedthe University's
image.

Foremost of these isthe Maine
Chance Farm dispute, now the
subject of a $30 million anti-
trust suit in Sixth District Court
in Lexington. Fayette County
veterinarian Arnold Pessin and
California horseman Rex C. El-
lsworth, unsuccessful bidders for
the farm, filed the suit against the
Keeneland Association and the
University Research Foundation,
charging conspiracy and restraint
of trade.

Political observers, as well as
politicians themselves, have said
the controversy will reflect on the

Richard Butwell, Director of the

In a debate Monday night
with Dr. Thomas Molnar, pro-
fessor of history at Long Island
University, Dr. Butwell saidthat
while the Soviets are riding the
waves of history the United States
is trying to buck historyin South-
east Asia.

Dr. Molnar said that the war
in Vietnam was only a chapter

Another Damper

If that wasn't-enough to dam-

B. Nunn became the first Re-
publican governor of Kentucky
in 20 years by beating Democrat
Henry Ward by 26,000 votes Nov.

A committee of students met
with President John W. Oswald
and other UK officials that same
day to express their opinion that

drab image.

As a solution, one student—
Sandy Bugie, Homecoming Steer-
ing Committee chairman—pro-
posed that the University hire a
public relations firm to boost its
image. The proposal was taken
under consideration.

The University can scarcely
afford any more dents in its image
if it hopes to get its budget re-
quest through the General As-
sembly. It must, in fact, project

longing this chapter of the war.
He said that as long as Ho Chi
Minh can hope that the United
States will withdraw because of
division over the war, he will
keep fighting.

He added that Gen. William
Westmoreland and others are
adding to this by promising to
”bring the boys home" in two
years to please the pacifists.

Dr. Butwell did not accept
the fact that Communism in
North Vietnam posed a great
threat to the US. He said that
he did not believe that a small,
underdeveloped, war-ravaged na-
tion could pose such a threat.

He added that he hoped the
promises made by Gen. West-
moreland were not Just for the
sake of the padflsts. "I hope
they are sincere eventhoudithey
are wrong," he said.

Doing this, however, is an-
other matter— one called politics.

Police Threats

Recent events on“ campus in-
dicate the University is trying
to do just that:

k A group of students decorat-
ing the Great Wall with pro-
Nunn graffiti in October said
they were threatened with ar-
rest by University police. At the
time, Democratic nominee Ward
appeared to be running far ahead
in the campaign. ,

D Four students were arrested
during an antiwar protest at the
Placement service and charged
with breach of peace in Lexing-
ton City Court. The University
also charged them with violation
of the Student Rights Code.

)Two students said they were
threatened with arrest by campus
police for distributing anti-ad-
ministration leaflets in domiitor-
ms.
The University told a differ-
ent story about the incident at
the Great Wall. Joe Mitchell,one
of the students painting the wall,
said a campus policeman asked
if they had permission to do so.
He said two police cars and a

McNamara

To Leave
Pentagon

WASHINGTON (UPI) —De-
fense Secretary Robert S. Mc-
Namara is preparing to leave the
Cabinet, possibly for a new post
as president of the World Bank,
it was reported in official quart-
ers Monday night.

Knowledgeable sources said
no official announcement was ex-
pected immediately, either from
the White House or the Penta-
gon, until President Johnson and
Mr. McNamara have agreed on a
timetable. The Secretary's de-
parture did not appearto belikely
”in the immediate future," they
said.

It is known that Mr. McNa-
mara, who has served longerthan
any other man in the cmcial
defense post, has wanted to step
down for some months. Official
sources emphasized that he was
not leaving because of any dis-
agreement with the President
over policy, in Vietnam or any-
where else.

Johnson Liked Mr. McNamara

Mr. Johnson has repeatedly
told friends he holds Mr. Mc-
Namara in high esteem. There
‘were even reports in 1964 that
he was grooming him for the
vicepresidency. m

But the‘ si-yeamld- ‘fotmer'
Ford Motor :60. executive has
borne the burdens of one of the
most dimcult and exacting jobs
on earth for almost seven years
and apparently feels the time is
near when he would like to stop
down.

It is knOWn that the President
is aware of the strain Mr. Mc-
Namara has undergone during
his tenure at the Pentagon.

In recent months, there have
been suggestions that the Presi-
dent has increasingly favored the
military advice of theJoint Chiefs
of Staff over that of Mr. Mc-
Namara regarding the bombing
of North Vietnam.

Denied Division

But Mr. McNamara himself
has denied any serious division
with the Joint Chiefs, and of-
ficial sources emphatically in-
sisted that this played no part
in the Secretary’s reported de-
parture. '

B utwell A rgues’

He added that too many
promises of “two more years"
have been unfilled, not only by
Gen. Westmoreland, but by Sec-
retary of State Robert McNamara
as well. He added that be ex-
pected Mr. McNamara to resign
within a week because of dif-
ferences of opinion on the policy
in Vietnam.

Dr. Butwell called for a token
withdrawal to ”test” the Com-
munists’ sincerity. He also said
that we should be willing to talk
peace with anyone anywhere.

Dr. Molnar replied that a

withdrawal, even a token with-
drawal, was Just what the Com—
munists wanted. They would
then be able to say that the

U.S. did not keep its pmtaes
and was weakening in power.

 2—THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Tuesday, Nov. 28, 1967

 

 

Classes Resume At Riot-Scarred
Central State, President Resigns

WILBERFORCE, Ohio (UPI)—-Classes resumed
at racially tense Central State University Monday
despite reports of an' organized conspiracy to kill
the president of the predominantly Negro school.

There were no incidents at the school, which
had been closed since Nov. 15 because of cam-
pus violence triggered by Black Power advocates.

Dr. Harry E. Groves, who Saturday submitted
his resignation as president to be effective in six
months, shrugged off the threat report and per-
sonally welcomed the students back.

At a convocation marking resumption of classes,
Dr. Groves called on the student body to unite
in efforts to keep the school open.

”The institution cannot live in an atmosphere
of violence or threats and intimidations," he said.

Board Member Reacts

John Bustamante, chairman of the CSU Board
of Trustees, said Dr. Groves may have resigned

because of an ”organized conspiracy” to kill
him. He said he.leamed of the plot “on the
highest authority. "

"I felt obliged to tell him (Groves) about
it last Friday night," Mr. Bustamante said. “I
thought he ought to know about the situation
which I believed to be a serious one.

”This threat may well have been the factor
that triggered his decision to resign, and in that

 

 

sense it represents a victory for the 30 or 40
Black Power extremists on the campus."

CSU has about 2,600 students, 80 percent
of them Negro. A militant minority of the Negro
students were seeking to make the school an
“all black" institution, Mr. Bustamante said.

Dr. Groves, a Negro, said he personally was
not aware of any plot against him.

“My resignation had nothing whatsoever to do
with any threats upon my life," he said.

Dr. Groves said there was no point in stay-
ing at CSU ”unless the environment is such
that I can perform the useful work of a univer-
sity.”

Blames Outsiders

”During the past month, I found that was
impossible," he said.

At a news conference following the convoca-
tion, Dr. Croves blamed "outside elements" for
trying to bring about closing of the school.

“I think I could list these elements but I
won't," Dr. Groves said.

He said the students at the university who
participated in clashes against police and Na-
tional Guardsmen the night of Nov. 13 did not
seek the destruction of Central State but they
unwittingly were helping outside elements to
achieve that end.

POUCHKEEPSIE,

(CPS)— The Board of Trustees
of Vassar College has decided
that the all-girls’ school will not
move to New Haven and affili—
ate with Yale University.

After a meeting last week, the
board released a statement that
said: ”After a year's deliberation
over the various proposals for the
future of Vassar College, the
Board of Trustees has decided
that the college should remain
in its birth-place."

. Yale President Kingman Brew-
ster announced that in light of the
Vassar trustees' decision, Yale
would ”explore the possibility of
founding an independent wom»

en 5 college in New Haven,
which would be affiliated with
Yale.

In announcing their decision
not to move Vassar to New
Haven, the college's trustees
called for the establishment of a
coordinate men's college and “in-
novative graduate institutes" in
Poughkeepsie.

Vassar To Go Coed?

Both schools farce major fi-

nancial hurdles in attempting
to become co-educational. The
Vassar trustees' statement indi-
cated the cost of their proposed
expansion might be as high as
$70 million. Brewster estimated

Vassar Says “No To Yale Affiliation

According to Beth DunIOp of
the Vassar Miscellany News
most Vassar students favored the
move when it was proposed last

abated somewhat sincethen. The

has come fromthe college's alum-
nae.

‘Wodwo’Tells Promise,
Best Is Yet To Come

D. C. MOORE
“Wodwo” by Ted Hughes, Harper and Row New York 4.95)
One of the enjoyable things in reviewing a book of poems
and short stories is seeing maturity and growth come as a young
writer works to develop his talent. But this can also be painful
because some of the work is not good diiality.

This is the way the new book by Ted Hughes ”Wodwo"
There are some excellent poems and short stories and there

out.

stands

are some bad. As a result the reader must be aware of the transi-
tion that Ted Hughes is going through in order not to pass unfair
judgment. Some of his works are experiments in various approaches
which have not developed to a high quality. This stands out.

”"Wodwo is divided into
three sections. The first section
is a group of poems. The second
section is a group of short stories
and the third section is another
group of poems. The second and
third sections are the best in the
book.

But the reader who is not
familiar with Ted Hughes' work
at all should begin by reading
the radio drama ”The Wound"
in section two of the book. This
drama first broadcast by the BBC
on February 1, 1962, is the cul-
mination of Ted Hughes talent
and shows the strength and power
of his talent.

In the ”The Wound" two
soldiers march on and are caught
in a mental trap with inmges
that might be produced from too
much war. Ted Hughes has
created two good characters with
mental technique and the dia-
logue is rich and explosive show-
ing Hughes ability to use the
English language as a convin-
cing tool.

The reader by reading this
radio drama will be in a much
better position to catch the full
scope of the book because in it
are certain characteristics that
are needed in order to grasp
and enjoy his poetry.

Also in the second section is
the short story ”Sunday" which
is about rats and men.

His other poetry has a unique
quality butnot all of it is the
best

The poetry which is written
in blank verse touches a wider
range of topics and can be read
with many meanings. But in all
the poetry there is a certain
feeling that is apparent; the feel—
ing of movement. This feeling
from the poetry is and does he-
come physical, being almost ani-
mated £16m the written page.
The poem Skylarks in section
three is a good example and the
the poem The Howling of
Wolves." Another point about
his poetry is that there is a strong
influence from nature and this
is not used to the best advant-
age especially in section one with
the poems ”Fem" and ”A Wind
Flashes the Grass." These two
poems don't relate with the total
effect that is being created nor
do they extend the poems mean-
ing from nature to the transla-
tion of human qualities. The
poems of section one are weakest
in the book.

However Hughes does have

the ability to capture a mood
and a place and time and hold
it on the printed page as in the
poem ”New Moon in January
This is probably one of the ex-
tras that Hughes does have, and
combined with his ability of lan-
guage will in the future make
him a strong poet and writer.

The book “Wodwo” as a
whole shows the promise of bet-
ter things to come from this
writer.

THE KENTUCKY KERNEL, Tuesday, Nov. 28, l967 — 3-

Dulcimer Genius J. J. Niles

To Perform Here Thursday

By JOE HINDS‘
Kernel Arts Editor

John Jacob Niles' hair is white
now, but he still has the energy
and animation of a boy in his
teens.

The wiry Kentucky folk singer
winked before he climbed up ona
platform to reach one of the dul-
cimers he made and will use in
his concert Nov. 30 in the UK
Student Center Ballroom.

He cradled the eight-string
instrument in his lap, and his
blue eyes reflected the light from
an old English fireplace.

One of the few male altos
in existence plucked a string and
picked up where the note left off
in a delicate falsetto and per—
fectly controlled vibrato:

WhenJoseph was an old man,

Had lived full many a year,
a year,

He courted and wedded the
Queen of Heav'n,

And called her his dear . . . "

Niles stopped after singing
the first verse of his song ”The
Cherry-Tree Carol." He smiled
and explained, ”The cherry-tree
blossoms out of season. In the

song, Mary desires cherries in
midwinter.

“Joseph is presented as an ill-
natured fellow who seems to be
out of sorts over the matter of
parenthood. He is covered with
remorse and prays forgiveness
when he discovers the miracu-.
lous power of Jesus and hears
the prophecy of His birth."

Rena, his wife, interrupted
his story when she came through
an oaken doorway and stepped
down into the sunken living room.
She handed him a glass of home-
made apple cider.

”,Oh yes, his wife said. We
have hundreds of our own apple
trees outside."

The apple-grower, born in
Louisville, has more songs cred-
ited to his name than apples.
He claims that his collection of
American folk music started be-
fore World War I, is the largest
private collection in the United
States.

His musical education was
acquired both in this country
and abroad—at the Cincinnati
Conservatory which awarded him
an honorary Doctor of Music

 

NILES bends over to hand an autographed program to a young
fan after a concert last summer in Orkney Springs, Va. Niles is
coming to UK's Student Center Ballroom Nov. 30.

degree and at the Universite de
Lyon Cantorum in Paris, France.

His professional career began
when he was 15 in New Albany,
Ind. He was seated.in' an au-
dience waiting to hear a sing—
ing group when a nervous man-
ager asked him to take the place
of his troupe which couldn’t per-
form that night. He put on a
show accompanying himself on
the piano. His career was
launched on that $1.50 job.

His fees charged for a concert
today would have been unthink-
able in 1907. He has performed
many times at UK and made
the first performance in the Cuig—
nol Theatre.

Niles leaned back and pulled
at his black socks. “The carpen-
ters went Out just as I was
coming in. The Cuignol was con-
sidered one of the fines theaters
in the south when it was built."

The building was sonew when
he performed that summer night
that the maintenance men
couldn't figure out the air con-
ditioning system. Instead of cool
air, the audience was smothered
with heat from the heating unit.
But he competed with the heat
and received a standing ovation.

Niles and his dulcimers are
making a nationwide tour and
UK is his last stop. He is sched-
uled for concerts at Cincinnati,
Honolulu and Kansas City. He
will lecture for a week at the
University of Hawaii before com-
ing here.

 Charles A.

Bradshaw

deserves
a vote of confidence

Charles A. Bradshaw should be
retained as football coach at the
University.

At the football banquet last
night Charles A. Bradshaw received
a tacit vote of confidence when
Dr. John W. Oswald made the re
rmrk that our team made a great
comeback this season and will con-
tinue to come back under Brad-
shaw’s coaching.

With seasons like the one just
ended the boo birds and win-at-all
costers become quite vocal that
it is time to dump the coach.

The Courier-Journal ceased to
print letters critical of Charles A.
Bradshaw in its Back-Talk column
because the win-or-dumpers had
at great length, and frequently,
made their point, and because many
of the critical letters abused the
coach personally.

The Kernel has received anony-
mous letters, phone calls, and per-
sonal asides asking The Kernel to
ferment a Dump Bradshaw move-
ment.

Reacting to those who would
buy up the two years remaining
- on Coach Bradshaw’s present con-
tract we say without hedging that
Charles A. Bradshaw should be
retained as football coach at the
University.

Recanting not a single statement
made previously in these pages
critical of the role of Athletics in
an academic community, yet mind—
ful that our criticism should be
directed at the concept Athletics
and not focused on the individuals
involved therein, the statement
bears repeating: Charles A. Brad-
shaw should be retained as football
coach at the University.

Not to do so would be a giant
step backward. Firing him would
of course be giving into the win-
at—all cost nerds. It would also
impair the revolutionary farsighted
tenure arrangement offered to

Coach Bradshaw two years ago.

Two years from now Coach
Bradshaw’s contract expires. If re»
newed in the future then at the
time when he has been a Univer-
sity employe for ten years he may
be awarded tenure. '

If the coach receivesjenurethe
win-or-else blight on Athletics in an
academic community would be re-
moved. The removal of one blight
portends unlimited improvement in
the spectrum Athletics at the Uni-
versity.

While defeat is never pleasant,
the to be expected loss to Ten-
nessee was nearly so. Few, ifany,
left Stoll Field feeling aught but
pride in the UK team’s performance.

“But for those five intercepted
passes,” was the only criticism to
be uttered at our loss to the num-
ber two team in the nation.

UK played a courageous game,
capping a dismal, fatal year.

That he was able to coach the

players into sterling performances '

in the aftermath of tragedy and in-
jury this season indicates that he
teaches and instills more than wins-
manship. He also teaches some-
thing about how you play the
game, which is of equal or greater
import than winning.

His honesty and sincerity in the
face of searing thrusts by the mass
media set him apart from and above
cher newsmakers in the campus
Athletic spectrum.

His practice sessions were open
to the members of the University
community this past season, for
one and all to observe the hard
but clean work which precedes
those few moments fans observe
on the playing field.

He received a tacit vote of con-
fidence last night at the football
banquet.

He deserves and merits our un-
hedged vote of confidence, hereby
tendered.

“Apres moi le deluge, oncle”

By PAT BIRCH
A (x S Freshman

All right, I've had enough of this
nonsense about us ustuck-up UK coeds."
I'm sorry I can't remember the names
of the other marriageominded males who
complained about female mating (non-
mating?) habits, but I know Calvin Wood-
ward is the latest to contribute to the
list of idiot insults.

I felt so sorry for Mr. Woodward
after reading his little essay, I decided
to help him out a bit. Here are a few
suggestions for Mr. Woodward and those
other concerned males:

(1) Quit sitting in class writing all
those nasty letters to The Kemel—get
out and try to meet girls with smiles
and intelligent talk, not pen and paper.

(2) Quit looking for the girls with
”Playboy girl-type-figures" and associate
with the more common types.

(3) Quit complaining about our small
group of friends and try to enlarge your
own group of friends, which in turn
will introduce you to other small groups.

I am a girl and I came to college to
get an education, Mr. Woodward, not to
get married. But education to me incruoes
learning about people. When I came to
UK I had every intention of widening

“Big shoes to fill’

my circle of friends and thus my knowl-
edge of people. So what did I find?

I found that the boys were more in~
terested in writing letters complaining
about girls than in meeting them; Idis-

’ covered they rather play cards than talk

to girls, and that they rather whistle
or stare at girls than meet them. I had
no trouble at all meeting girls, but the
childishness of the ”men" shocked me.

Mr. Woodward, I'm not worrying about
whetherl will be’married or not as you
seem to think 1 should be. Perhaps you're;
the one to worry. I know I sure don't
intend to go out and "catch a man" as
you suggest; I purposely avoid the type
that prefers to be chased, because they're
invariably too conceited and childish to

bother with.

I imagine this goes for most girls. We
don't intend to stand on corners wearing
mini-skirts and tight sweaters, winking
and smiling at every male that passes.
If this is what you want, Mr. Woodward,
you are more likely "to reach that de—
teriorating age unmarried" than I am,
because your thinking is backward.

There are plenty of girls on campus
willing to enlarge their social worlds to
include men with enough initiative to
meet them. These girls don't keep their
noses in the air, they're perfectly capable
of smiling at any time and anyplace; and
they don't go around wearing high collars
and ankle-length dresses.

But after receiving enough rebuffs to
their smiles, enough whistles to their
dresses, and enough make-out artists for
dates, they give up and go back to their
own select group. Perhaps it is the well-
eamed reputations of UK men that cause
girls to stick to their own safe groups.

In other words, Mr. Woodward, the
move is up to the male. If you want to
meet a girl, use your masculine initiative
and meet her in one way or another.
If you want to keep meeting girls, you
and your fellow complainers ought totake
your own advice.

Try smiling back once in a while
and don't establish yourselves as the
“All-hands-on-the-deck" type and you'll
meet more girls than by writing letters,
pfrhaps you'll improve UK's reputation,
a so.

Don't scoff at my words, Mr. Wood-
ward. They've worked for me. I've man-
aged to enlarge my circle of friends. I'm
not worrying. How about you?
