Demolished ROTC Building Paves Way
For Plans Of New Recreation Area
Plans have been completed
for a new recreation area to be

located where the Euclid Avenue Building, formerly the Air
Force ROTC building, burned
last May 5.
According to George J.

Rus-che- ll,

of
Business Affairs, the area will
include two basketball courts,
horseshoe, badminton and volleyball courts, and a small court-

acting

Vice-Preside- nt

yard.
"The area won't be completely landscaped by the time the
fall semester begins," said

Rus- -

chell. "But the courts will be
blacktopped and the lights will
be ready. There is a need for
this type of recreation area,
especially since we now have
boys living on that side of the
campus."

The new area will cost

proximately

$60,000

to

apcon-

struct and equip.
Ruichell said a tight situation
exists trying to find space for
the dancing classes and other
physical education classes that
were once housed in the Euclid
Avenue Building. This build

ing was not going to be torn
down
this year as many
thought," Ruschell said. "Eventually, with the construction of
a new building, it would have
been taken down, but certainly
not this year."
A new $2.3 million facility is
in the planning stages for the
area between the Complex and
Cooper Drive. It will include a
health, physical education, and
recreation building, nine more
tennis courts, two combination
softball-footba- ll
fields, hockey
and soccer fields.

U Of L Joins State Supported Institutions

By DON EGER, JR.
Kernel Staff Writer
The first week of July usually

reminds most American citizens
of independence. For the University of Louisville, however,
it will mean a loss of independence.
Louisville officially becomes
the newest member of the state
system of higher education on
July 1 -- after 172 years us a
private institution.
The overall effect of U of L
joining the brotherhood of state
supported colleges is questionable. A handful of problems are
unavoidable.
Kentucky spends G5 cents of
every tax dullar on education.
If Kentucky is to support two
separate iredical schools, one at
UK and me at U of L, the tax
dollar will have to be stretched.
Last November UK requested
$14 1.3 million in state funds

the highest ever submitted by
any Kentucky institution of higher education. At that same time
the University made no recommendation toward the proposed
merger with the University of
Louisville.
UK President Otis A. Single-tar- y
has named future financing
as one of the obstructions to the
merger. The main problem, he
cited, is that a merger would
subtract from UK's state funds.

school there will be seven major
state supported institutions in
Kentucky. (This does not include the future funding of the
newly formed Northern Kentucky State College.) The expenditures planned by the University of Kentucky for the
1970-7- 2
biennium include a
debt service of $5,280,000. A
money shortage somewhere in
the system seems inevitable.

The University of Louisville
could not make it alone, but in
spite of a one million dollar
deficit for 1970-197they remained the only major Kentucky institution which did not
raise tuition for the upcoming
school year.
Louisville could hardly bring
itself out of the "red" with its
of nine
meager endowment
million dollars or its yearly
alumni contribution of an estimated $150,000.
According to William
professor of higher
education, U of L could have

from
However,
testimony
campus police officers and other
University officials bore out the
fact that Chandler did pull
Greenwell's hair and "jerked"
him before hitting him in the
nose.
Immediately after the altercation, Chandler called the press
accounts that he pulled Greenwell's hair a "malicious lie." He
added that he could not have
pulled his hair because he
(Chandler) was carrying an
armload of papers from the
board meeting.
Chandler later said he was
sorry he hit Greenwell.
He said, "If I had had time
to think, I don't know what I
would have done. . . . This
young man grabbed me by the
tie. I didn't even think. . . .
I just swung and hit him
right
in the nose."
In another hearing this week,

voted to suspend
graduate student Mason Taylor
of Seattle, Washington, until the
beginning of the fall semester.
The board convicted Taylor of
eight of the original 21 charges
against him, while acquitting
him of six others.
The University withdrew two
charges against him, and the
board
dismissed
five other
charges.
The two charges for which

Taylor was suspended were in connection with

been nutting workers at the
University of Kentucky."
It raises a question: Did the
University of Louisville contribute to its own downfall?
Thruston R. Morton, former
U.S. Senator and presently a
U of L board member, best sums
up the situation. Advocating a
more strengthened Council on
Higher Education, he feels that
the council will have to play a
more definite role and will have
to be very hard-boile"We are going to have six
universities fighting for a piece
of the pie," Morton stated. "The
job of the University of I,ouis-vill- e
is to Ihj sure it gets its share
of the pie, so to speak, when the
budget is drawn and is not left
an orphan in the storm."
In the state educational
system of Kentucky, there is a
true feeling of rivalry especially
where it concerns money.

biggest schools in the land have
rejected 87,230 qualified students for enrollment in September.
As the applications rise so
does the enrollment, but students still are turned down.
Major reasons cited for the rejections, according to a State
Universities Association spokesman, are classroom shortage,
inadequate facilities, and housing shortages.
UK's Housing Office released
figures this week to show UK is
no exception in having problems
with accommodating the new
freshmen class. Jean C. Lindley
and Robert W. Rlakeman of the
UK Housing Office, said this
week that 6,205 applications
have been received for accommodations that at the moment are limited to 5,120 persons in University
residence
halls. Miss Lindley said the
latter figure includes Coopers-towwhich once was held
exclusively for married students.
To date, the UK administrator said, 5,071 students have
been assigned to the available
rooms, noting 49 vacancies, or
unassigned rooms. There are
625 unassigned students, they
said. Requests to live off campus had been received this week
from 11 freshmen.

Fayette and Jessamine counties are two of 20 counties in
10
slates that have
been chosen as target areas in
a pilot project to "seek and
destroy" marijuana in it's wild
form.
The project was announced
Sunday, June 22, by Attorney
General John N. Mitchell. It is
a joint effort of the Rureau of
Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs,
the Department of Agriculture
extension services, and the Department of Justice. The defense and interior departments
will also aid in the program to
insure the covering of federal
property.
The project had been under
consideration for some time due
to the increased market for
American-grow- n
marijuana. This
is the result of a crack-dow- n
along the Mexican border,
where it is estimated that 80 per
cent of all marijuana consumed
in the United States is grown.
Those helping with the project in this area are Fayette

A proposed change in the UK
payroll schedule, designed to
place the staff members on a
pay schedule rather
than monthly, has been revised
in order to alleviate financial
problems caused by the change.
Discontent arose among many
of the 2500 affected employes
when they learned that the first
checks to be issued under the
new system would necessitate
the withholding of two weeks'
pay.

George J. Ruschell, acting

an additional month to plan for
the change and to permit the
necessary changes for reducing
the delayed period to seven
days, the effective date of the
conversion, will be August I
rather than July 1," he added.
He said the reason for the
change primarily was because
the Fair Labor Standards Act
requires detailed time records
on all employes not exempted
from the wage and hour provisions of the Act, and that the
necessary time for preparation
of the check after certification is
about two weeks.
The delayed plan presently is
in effect for UK service, maintenance and hospital employes.

Steve bright is scheduled
Judito go before
cial board Friday.
His case will be unique in
that lie is tbe first to be tried
on two of the charges and by
right of his position as president
of the student government, his
participation in the recent demonstrations on campus cannot be
denied.
bright, who was arrested by
the State Police, maintains that
he is not at issue with the way
the Judicial board has handled
the proceedings,
but, he emphasizes that the board is not
what he would have desired
and sewith regard to make-u- p
lection of members and the
"dirty job" it has been selected
to do.
Calling the hearings "absurd"
not in the handling given them
by the student members, but in
the fact that students are being
brought before the board for
their parts in the demonstrationsbright said:
'The l)oard can't really be
criticized for the way they are
handling the proceedings. They
have given people adequate
time to prepare their defenses,
not just run them through."
However, lie did critcize the
selection of the board itself,
bright maintained that it is not
fair for some members to serve
when they have already graduated and are no longer classified as "undergraduates."
Bright, who has asked several
times that a board be appointed
on terms acceptable to both him
and the University, said that he
was willing to go before the
board on those terms. However,
he emphasized that he wished
it

to commend the board for conducting the hearings "fairly"
and not resorting to the "assembly line witch hunt proposed by the Dean of Students

office."

bright is charged by the University with inducing students
to break a state law, being arrested by the State Police and
being on campus after a curfew
was imposed.
He was arrested by State Police during the demonstrations
and charged with disorderly
conduct- -a charge of which he
has been found 'guilty" in Quarterly Court but is appealing the
verdict to the Fayette Circuit
Court.
About his Judicial board hearing Friday, bright seemed to be
uncertain as to the outcome.
"I am the first to be tried for
speaking at the Student Center,"
he said. "And the first to be
tried for being at Buell Armory
after a curfew was imposed. So,
it would be very hard to guage
what will happen in my case."
Since Bright has spent a
great deal of time since the demonstrations in court and preparing for court, an expected reaction might be a certain amount
of regret for his part in the
