Associate Editor
At a special meeting Friday,
the Board of Trustees passed a
record $227.8 million proposed
budget for the 1970-7- 2 biennium
and adopted a statement which
in effect made the proposed UK-of L affiliation unlikely at
the present time.
The request of $144.3 million
in state funds is the highest ever
submitted by any Kentucky institution of higher education. It
will be reviewed by the Council on Public Higher Education

U

and then sent to the legislature
for approval and possible alteration.
In recommending a course of
action on the proposed UK-- of
L merger, President Otis A.
stated that he and U of
L President Woodrow M. Strickler were unable to "reach a mutual agreement concerning the
merger."
The board, in its prepared
statement, said that "it recognized the benefits to the state"
which could result from "a closer
affiliation between the University
of Kentucky and the University
of Louisville" but that it had
no recommendation to submit
to the council at the present time
on such an affiliation.
Problems Listed
Among the problems faced
in the proposed merger, President Singletary said, were the
structure of the merged institution, the name, the governing
board, future financing which
would allow the U of L to merge
without taking state funds away
from UK, and administration polU

to determine a course of action.
Before the board acted, Student Government President Tim
Futrell spoke to the trustees and
said that he believed the prepared statement would be acceptable to an SC commission
which was investigating the merger.

Futrell Speaks
Futrell also revealed to the
trustees the results of a UK Student Government survey taken of
both U of L and UK students to
determine student opinion on the
issue and said that he felt the
statement was in line with student opinion.
President Singletary com-

mended the SG commission on
its survey and on its willingness
to undertake the task of determining student opinion in order
to inform the board before final
action was taken.
The new budget request
passed by the board calls for an
increase of $45,280,820 in state
funds over the $99,029,080 received in 1968 from the legislature. UK requested $109,595,500
in 1968 in state funds.
Under the proposed budget
some 63 percent of UK's funds
would come from the state. The
other 37 percent would be made

from auxiliary services and from

Debts Large
In the breakdown of expenditures planned by the University
for the 1970-7biennium, debt
service counts for the largest sinestigle increase. In the 1969-7mate the amount listed for debt
service was $1,655,000. For 1970-7- 1
the estimate to be paid for
service is $5,286,100, an increase
the
of $3,631,100. For 1971-7estimate is $5,819,000 or an increase of $533,500.
These expenditures include
the servicing of dtbts for four
new academic buildings constructed within the last four years

News Director Talks On Foreign Events

By BARRY MAYFIELD
Kernel Staff Writer
"America's greatest dangers lie here at home; America can best regain her now tarnished image abroad . . .
by setting her house in order. Like charity, a nation's
security begins at home," Irving R. Levine made this
remark Friday night at Memorial Coliseum as guest
lecturer for the 1969-7- 0 Central Kentucky Concert and
Lecture Series.
Levine, who presently makes his home in Rome as
the Mediterranean director for NBC News, said since
U.S. accomplishments in Vietnam are less than previously made commitments, there is a question in Europe
as to how valid U.S. commitments to Europe are.
Besides further jeopardizing Europe's faith in the
U.S., an immediate unilateral withdrawal from Vietnam
would make a scapegoat of the military, lower the President's prestige and eventually could necessitate a milin America, the
itary takeover or
said.

quasi-dictatorsh-

Discusses Foreign Events
He predicted that when the Vietnam war is resolved,
there will be "a revision of expenditures directed
because American domestic problems such as
crime, pollution and the racial Issue are more press

ing than European problems and "demand top priori- -

ty."

Levine discussed several foreign events which "are
not at all what they first might seem."
His first area of concern In the speech was the Middle East, where Palestinian terrorists threaten the Lebanese for lack of support in battling with Israel, where
terrorist wars rage between the Arab guerrillas and the
state of Israel, and where struggles simultaneously
exist between guerrillas and regular military Arab forces.
Levine identified diametrically opposed pressures facing the Lebanese government: to show that It is as
active as the extremists, and simultaneously to restrain
the guerrillas from taking over Arab nations.

Nuclear Problems
"A more threatening problem Is the Moscow-Pekinconflict because It is a case of nuclear powers in confrontation," warned the speaker.
For two Communist powers to engage in war would
superficially appear advantageous to the U.S.; but upon
closer examination, It is evident that nuclear war between the two countries could only be detremental to
the U.S., Levine emphasized.
He said that presently a tacit agreement not to use
nuclear weapons in "tribal" wars exist between the So
g

.

viet Union and the U.S. This is one of the restraints
which has "kept America from using nuclear tactical
weapons in Vietnam the fear of violating this 'great
Inhibition'," the NBC correspondent said.
On Soviet Invasion
Referring to the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia,
Levine said that in addition to establishing "spheres of
influence" for the Kremlin In Eastern Europe, Russia
actually helped in strengthening Western Europe and
"left America free to act as she sees fit In her own
spheres of Influence."
Speaking of various European countries, Levine

said that France's prestige vanished with DeCualle,
that Creat Britain finally is showing signs of economic
prosperity, and that unstable Italy probably will soon
experience a coup d' etat and a Communist regime.
Of the Catholic Church and the Pope, Levine said:
"Fresh thought had been suppressed so long that Pope
John's call to open the window for fresh air was more
like the opening of the floodgates, ami brought a torrent
of ideas."
"Towering above all other issues was Pope Paul's
decision on birth control. It is like the Pope's Vietnam;
he has no chance for an honorable withdrawal or
victory. There is no way to gain the respect of his
papacy; that must wait for his successor," Levine stated.

These two pictures, above and below, appear
on two facing pages in the 1969 "Kentuckian."
The picture of the dancers (below) had to
be posed by photographer Dick Ware, and
it took three shooting sessions to get the
desired photo.

Contrast

Seldom has a single publication raised as much controversy
as has the 1969 "Kentuckian."
People have written nasty letters to the yearbook staff, the
director of student publications
and even to President Otis A.
Singletary. Some angry readers
have been moved to return their
copies of the "Kentuckian."
Most of the dissent centers
around complaints that the book
is too "editorial," that it emphasizes one segment of the student
body or that it just isn't the sort
of yearbook that everyone is
used to.
On the other hand, perhaps
just as many people have praised the "Kentuckian," citing it as
an artistic and photographic
masterpiece. These people, too,
comment on the alleged editorial comment, but in praise
instead, of damnation.

Whichever viewpoint you
happen to take, it is hard to
deny the technical excellence of
the '69 "Kentuckian." To begin
with, the staff for the "Kentuckian" included several talented photographers who managed to turn out some magnificent pictures. Examples are
too numerous to mention singly,
but you can turn to almost any
page in the. book and find excellent photographs.

Another fascinating effect in
the "Kentuckian" is the graphics
used in producing the sectional
division pages.
These pages
were designed and executed by
Larry Heller, and one of the
best examples of his work appears on pages 156 and 157
at the beginning of the section
entitled "Reappraisal." This is
also the theme for the entire
"Kentuckian."

An often overlooked phase of
photography, the creative processing of photographs, is another feature of the "Kentuckian." One good example is found
on page 61. Here, several pictures taken at various Free
University sessions were superimposed, one over the other, to
form one print.

The person responsible for
the direction and focus of the
'69 "Kentuckian" is Editor
Marcum. The major criticism she has been subject to is
that her book docs not follow
the traditional format of a college yearbook. The fact that she
has tried, and succeeded, to
make some sort of comment
about the condition of this University and its personnel is reflected in the title she gave to
this "Kentuckian" "ReappraisGret-che- n

The Draft: A Moral Irony
The promotion of Ceneral Hershey from Director of the Selective
Service and the proposed draft reforms advocated by President Nixon
have once again brought the United States' policy of compulsory military service under severe scrutiny. The old arguments of necessity,
which are the draft's main, indeed its only, justification, have not
stood the strain of this close scrutiny.
To those who have analyzed the draft it has become apparent that
is morally wrong in that it forces a man to disregard his individual
it
morals to enforce his government's policies. A man whose moral ideas
are at odds with his government's can either refuse induction and be
branded a coward or follow the flock and try not to spell his name
on his induction card.
But he may as well do just that for his identity will be gone. He will
find that compulsory military service really means compulsory slaughter.
Soon his education in murder methods will choke out any feelings of
fellowship he might have had for mankind, for he can now kill and be
honored for it. Military men are often as proud of dropping a bomb that
kills hundreds of people as sane men are proud of saving the same number.

The draft is also immersed in irony. Consider the half million American men in Vietnam, most of whom are in involuntary servitude themselves, who are killing and dying daily to prevent an enslavement of
Vietnamese that in all probability would be less severe than the soldiers'
own present condition. Ideally, the Vietnamese would at least be allowed
to choose their rulers, unless the United States interjects as it did in
1956. In this respect the soldiers and their system are the ones who
deserve our concern, not the people of Vietnam.

'Now go out there and fight for your freedom.9

This is not to say an American does not owe his country a great debt.
Two years is a pal try sum to pay for the lifetime benefits America offers.
But when this nation forcefully requires one to fulfill his obligation to it
by relinquishing his individual values, that obligation ceases to exist.
When this happens the nation no longer serves the rights of the individual, but has become master over them, negating the individual's
values of right and wrong. Granted, one should always ask what he can
do for his country, but he must demand that his country do no less

Kernel Forum: the readers write
Thanks Anyway
To the Editor of the Kernel:
I would like to extend my sincere
thanks to the Editorial Stalf of The
Kentucky Kernel for having seen fit to
prepare an editorial in support of the
Amendment.
As of this dictation, there is no way
to know how the Amendment will fare
at the Polls. However, It is encouraging
to me to see the interest and concern
exhibited by young people in matters
which dramatically affect State Government. This is very definitely a good omen
for the future and for Kentucky.
Thank you very much for your help.
