Dormn

Up

Room and board rates for University dormitories were increased
to $100 a semester Friday by the
Executive Committee of the Hoard
of Trustees.
The $20 increase will be
effective next September. Robert
F. Kerley, vice president for
business affairs, said the action
was necessary due to increased
operating costs and the need for
an expanded dormitory system.
Increased food costs in University cafeterias contributed to
the need for higher rates, Mr.
Kerley said. He noted more dormitory space will be available for
the fall semester with the completion of a portion of the undergraduate dormitory complex now

under construction on Huguelet
Avenue near Fraternity Row.
Regular semester rates for
room and board were increased
from $365 to $380 last year. That
action was effective for the fall
semester of 19C5.
The trustees also established a
School of Fine Arts within the
College of Arts and Sciences, and
named Dr. Hubert Henderson,
chairman of the music department, as head of the school.
Dr. Henderson also will become
associate dean in the College of
Arts and Sciences.
The School of Fine Arts will
be effective Feb. 1. It is the first

proposing Congress withdrawal
from NSA was introduced by
SG representative Oscar Wester-field- .
Westerfield mapped his arguments around two points, a lack
of benefits from NSA membership, and NSA's ineffectiveness
because of their political activity, the proposal pointed out.
Westerfield, chairman of the
committee, stuck to these arguments during the committee's
first meeting. The bill's opponent, Maija Avbtv- argued congress had not taken full advantage of NSA'$ services. "We
haven't really tried it," she said.
"We have just sent them $192.50
and forgotten about it."
Arguments were also presented
by Westerfield on NSA's alleged
"antifraternity" position. He read
a number of statements from fraternity executive presidents urging their avoidance of NSA.
The committee's neutral member, Steve Cook, declined to
argue issues. Previous to the
meeting Cook said a decision

Miller's Biggest Concern
h To Uplift SC 'Image'
mil.

Kernel Staff Writer

Hung responsible to oneself

is enough work for most
people.
Hut being responsible to more

young men and

women can sometimes overwhelm you.
Winston Miller, student congress president, can testify to

that.

At 20, Miller is one of the
youngest students to ever occupy
the top spot in the University's
student government organization. When he assumed his presidential duties last fall, the Mt.
Sterling junior brought a welcomed "new look" to a congress
that had in previous years been
marred by election frauds, weak
legislative bodies and rubber
stamp representatives.
Miller feels now that the biggest job the present administration is confronted with is one of
improving the image of the congress.
And it seems he has just
cause for concern. In 1959, a
fraud in the voting process was
uncovered, sending students to
the polls to revote. The same
candidate was elected twice but
was unable to serv e his term due
to a low scholastic standing.
More recently a malfunction
in the voting machines during
the last election forced students
again to vote twice.
"I sincerely believe that
during the last three administrations the image of Student
Congress at UK has improved
tremendously," he commented.
"We still have a lot to do, but
at least we're headed in the right
direction now."
success
With congress-lik- e
that smacks of L.B.J. , Miller's
legislative programs have rambled quickly through UK's student government body. Several
constructive measures have been
passed lately. These are the student book exchange and the summer employment program.
Nevertheless, like any public
leader, Miller has received the
"

"It

that acexpected criticism
companies most any executive
position. Such an occasion arose
when it was learned that all but
one piece of legislation acted
upon by congress originated w ith
the governing body's administration.
Supporting his view, Miller
explains that "the major problems to be considered by any
governmental organization are
usually initiated by the administration. It is our responsibility
to take the lead in presenting
new legislation."
The business administration
major whose academic accomplishments have earned him a
place in both Keys and Lances,
sophomore and junior men's
honoraries respectively, has the
distinction of submitting his
legislative programs to congress
earlier than any previous presi-

what

f, r v
-

is expected of me to know
is going on around this

campus," he said. He then added
that it is also common practice
for programs of the administra-

tion to be considered before those
submitted by the representatives.
A primary reason for the lack
of workable legislation from
them, he believes, is due to a
general lack of initiative and desire on their part.
Although claims have been
made that the SC assembly has
long been dominated by members of the Greek system, (27 of
the 29 representatives are Greek
affiliated), Miller, himself a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, says
"There isn't as much
friction on this campus as people like to believe."
He did agree that it is easier
for a Greek to be elected to congress than an independent, but
added, "I think those people in
the Greek organizations are more
interested in congress to begin
with.
But he also feels that almost
anyone with enough initiative
and good campaign personnel
can be elected to congress. It's
more of a matter of "selling your
image" rather than an issue.
"It is important to make yourself known on campus," he said.
"You have to campaign long
hours and have a sound platform that is understandable."
Another debatable issue that
is voiced frequently by students
is the noninvolvement of congress toward matters outside the

He admitted that working on
campus during the summer
months and trying to be constantly aware of what was needed
for the students proved to be
invaluable aids in drawing up a
workable program of later legis-

lation.

"I knew that my programs
would be worthless unless they
were directed toward the people
who would use them," he said.
Miller defends the actions of
his administrative personnel because he believes they work
harder and are more involved in
legislative issues than are the
representatives.

effectiveness.
"Because of neglect of its constitutional duties and because of
its concentration on political
issues, one congress, was almost

campus. This is a big step away
from the philosophies of past congress which were actively concerned with "outside" political
matters.
a
resolution
However,
adopted by congress last semester
means the governing body will
steer completely away from
stands on political matters of
international, national, state or
local concern.
"We have learned from past
Student Congress experience that
those administrations drawn into
political activities outside this

disbanded."

Miller pointed out that Student governments on other campuses which have taken stands
on political issues have monopolized their time debating political matters rather than serving
the student body. The policy of
UK's congress averts these
problems, he said.

University System

The commission on Higher Education has proposed t hat Kentucky's four state colleges he allowed to become uni ersities. ami
that the University of Louisille
be made part of the state
system. Both proposals deserve the most careful consideration, for they could affect the fundamental structure of Kentucky's
future educational prop-am- .
It has been ob ious for the past
decade that the University of Louisville must face some basic decisions, not only because of its
financial needs but because its location, history and function give
it more than regional importance.
It has been equally obvious that
the state colleges were restless in
their present roles as undergraduate
schools only, and that their officials were actively lobbying for
univ ersity status.
But calling a college a university does not make it one, and
the fact that the state colleges already offer a Tew graduate degrees
does not necessarily mean that they
can or should be given university
status. State college officials point
to their rapidly growing student
bodies. A big student body does
not alone indicate a pressing need
for graduate school offerings, or
the ability of the school to perform as a true university. And we
must consider prayerfully the matters of need and feasibility before
we create a handful of universities
at staggering cost.

sity within the state svstem. the
precedent will inevitablv increase
the pressure for university status
for the state colleges. It will also

be argued that giving them university status will not necessarily
require the state to finance construction and operation of graduate
ami professional schools on each
college campus. But they will be
able to create the schools, regardless of need and without coordination of plans with other universities, and the pressure on the
legislature to finance the enlarged
operation will be almost irresistible.

There is nothing wrong, of

Hopeful Progress Recently
AMro--j par

We have made encouraging progress in recent years with a three-le- x

system of higher education.
st
community colleges
offer vocational and preparatory-workand maintain rather lenient
entrance and performance requirements. The state colleges are more
expensive, have somewhat higher
standards and specialize in undergraduate-level
liberal arts training.
The University of Kentucky forms
the apex of this educational
pyramid; it costs more, has stricter
and emphasizes
requirements,
upperclass, graduate and professional training.

an acute problem.
A large increase in the number
of pupils in the Lincoln School
district has been recorded, and the
group has found themselves short
on qualified University students to
fit their needs.
This certainly would be a
worth y program for a student
wishing to serv e the University and
the community. As vertera'n tutors
will testify, the experience usually
proves as beneficial for the college student as for the child he
tutors.
The program takes little time
from the University student. In
most cases he meets his pupil for
only one session a week. We hope
students interested in this tvpe of
service will respond to the urgent
cull of the program's organizers.
Interested persons should meet

Rehabilitation: Teach 'Failures' To Succeed

Looking hack at an admis-iion- s

Kentucky
Village Superintendent Hubert C.
VfcClurc has commented, "Any-im- c

In that four year period, the
tverage stay for each inmate has
aecn reduced from seven to five
months.
Mr.
McCIure's satisfaction
stems mainly from a decrease
of "failures" returnees during
his administration. Since 1962,
he says, the readmission rate has
dropped from 28 percent to 17
percent.

is a result of the decision of a
judge, who has the option of
holding the case over to the
grand jury.
The Kentucky Department of
Child Welfare, the first to be
established in the United States,
channels these young offenders
through a reception center in
Lyndon. From there, they may
go several ways: They may be
sent home after brief treatment,
or they may be sent to boys'
camps in Barkley, Woodsbend, or
Cumberland.
The toughest cases, however,
go from the reception center to
Kentucky Village. "We get everybody's failures," McClure says.
Many of them enter expecting 1
the traditional bullwhips. Instead, they hear Mr. McClure ask
a group of them whose fault it
is they're there. Perhaps wanting
to make a good impression, most
say "my fault."
"I don't believe that," Mr.
McClure answers to their general

learn how to lose, but everybody was born to win."
Then the new inmates fall
into a regular schedule of therapy
and education. An ungraded
school to the tenth grade level
is included. Almost all are school

with subnormal IQ's.
After treatment, however, Mr.
McClure notes, their IQ's rise 10

said. To rehabilitate them is to

school."
The Kentucky Department of Child Welfare has in recent years adopted new
and sometimes controversial policies in the reformation of juvenile delinquents.
In 1962, a new Kentucky Village superintendent, Robert G. McClure, was appointed
to carry out some of these policies.
This story, and four following ones, based oninterviews with Mr. McClure and
his staff, plus observations of the institution ami its inmates, by Kernel Staff Writer
Ron Ilerron, tell of the Village and the attempted implementation of the newer
methods of juvenile treatment.

NEW YORK (CPS)-- A
stand for student rights has been
issued by the American Association of University Professors.
Published in the winter issue
of the AAUP Bulletin, the statement is the result of a four-yea- r
study and several revised drafts.
It is the first formal statement by
the AAUP on student rights.
The Association has long been
a powerful force in defining and
obtaining academic freedom for
faculty members.

The student sit-ifor civil rights first prompted the
AAUP to consider the question
of student rights, both on and
off campus. Headed by Prof.
Phillip Monypenny of the University of Illinois, the new AAUP
standing committee on the Faculty Responsibility for the Academic Freedom of Students
studied the practices of the "better established and freer institutions" for the basis of its position.
"Faculty members and administrative officials should insure
that institutional powers are not
