For Nonresident Students

Tuition costs for nonresident
students attending Kentucky's
institutions of higher learning
are now under study by the Legislative Research Commission.
The commission hopes to submit its findings to the 1966 legislature. Recently the LRC recommended that nonresident tuition
at State colleges be increased.
However, the commission said
that it felt the University charges
"appear resonable."

Despite this recommendation
by the LRC, the House of Representatives voted 56-- 0 in favor of
increasing tuition fees for nonresidents, not only at the state's
other five schools, but also at UK.
This will affect about 20 percent of the University's student
body. Tuitions for
students in Kentucky is considered to be lower than in most
other state colleges and

The proposed change would
hike the cost between in and

$440. This w ill be $9 over what

Working on a UK Research

Thursz's new collage technique demonstrated in these
paintings utilizes polymerized oil
as a binding element which also
causes the collages to have a
great degree of "toughness."
The exhibit actually comprises
two subjective areas for Thursz.
In addition to the works on the
sea, he has included his paintings
after Rembrandt's "The Jewish
Bride." These paintings utilize
round shapes and vast expanses
of warm color to symbolize the
bride.

"The small gold strip in these

paintings grows and gravitates
to the center and becomes the
sex of the bride," Thursz commented. "All I can do now, after
Rembrandt, is strain the form
through tradition and contemporary idioms."
Thursz is presently engaged in
what he calls a "total revaluation of Woman as the Sea."
"I'm doing big circular paintings trying to create a new geometry by doing things to the
canvas," he explained.
This new exhibit marks the
first showing in three years by
Thursz. but he is also currently
exhibiting in Zurich, Switzerland
and at the Jefferson Place Gallery in Washington, D.C., which
he helped to found.

Although critics have lauded
Thursz's great sensitivity and
originality of color sense, he is
well aware of the controversial
nature of the abstract form.
While speaking to the UK
Humanities Club four years ago,
Thursz said, "After 50 years,
the role of art as pure painting

Abstract art will be challenged
in the same manner that imitative art was questioned."

Western Kentucky State College
lias made light punishment of three
suspended students by allowing
them to return next semester, but
the soft pedaling of disciplinary
action cannot erase Western's error
in reprimanding the students in the
first place.

The Instant
Centennial
Recently two Student Centennial Committee members were
given six weeks notice to come up
with a "major cultural event" for
the Founders' Day weekend.
In December, President Oswald
announced that, among the other
events, there would be another
University grand ball and that a
committee would be appointed
"soon" to plan the event.
Administration officials now are
working, secretly at top speed, to
a Founders' Day Convo; secure
cation speaker who should have
been booked a year ago.
And the unenviable committee
has begun constructing the ball,
starting about five months late.
examSuch are
ples of Centennial planning
always characterized by the inevitable aura of haste.
Too many of the Centennial
events are, and show through to
be, the hastily-tacketogether work
of driving, but vastly overburdened
individuals. Although the Centennial administration has a large
budget and a large office staff,
it frequently seems shortsighted
in its planning.
The prospect of two students
preparing in a scant few weeks
something no more clearly described
than a "major cultural event" is
ludicrous, but such situations are
not unusual in the world of Centennial.
Several events have been noticeable exceptions from the last
ditch efforts. The Conference on
Women and last year's visit by
Norman Thomas are two. But
in both cases success was achieved
by advanced planning by individual
organizers rather than any major
contribution from Centennial Central.
We hope that when the University plans its next Centennial,
it will begin planning an abbreviated celebration much more in
advance and with considerably
more forethought.
d

Too often in American universities, the other side of the coin
the student's right to the same
unshackled inquiry into all subjects, is ignored. The learned,
paternal professor may speak his
mind as he chooses, but the immature student needs "guidance"
and "imposed restraint," many
persons believe.
But such ideas do not fit into
the concept of the modern university as a community of scholars,
with both instructors and students
contributing to the broad interchange of ideas and experience.
The student is not entirely a
parasite, sucking bits of learning
from the teacher, but often is an
inspiration for motivation and
greater learning to the instructors.
Just as better teachers can produce better students, so can better
students lead to better teachers.
For this interchange to reach
its greatest benefit, however, all
participants must share the same
freedom to discuss openly without
fear of reprisal.
The American Association of
University Professors recognizes,
this need and maintains a special
committee devoted to the study of
academic freedom of the student.
We wish the Western administrators could see beyond the students' salty comments to the larger,
more significant issue.
By putting a silencer on the free
flow of ideas, Western can only
harm its own standards.
Such expression deserves nurture, not condemnation.

the Governor can
Admittedly,
squeeze from his budget the estimated $23,000,000 'to $28,000,000
the teachers' demands would cost.
He can take it from.the colleges
and the University, from Child
Welfare, from the Crippled Children
program, from mental health, from
aid to retarded children. But Kentucky lags in these services as badly
as in education. And these are
agencies that depend entirely on
state support, whereas the teachers
can - and should turn to the
localities for increased help.'
The teachers, asVwell. as their
KEA leaders should iisk themselves
seriously whether or not they want
a raise at the expense of the retarded
children in Frankfort's
d

Training Home,
expense of our overcrowded and
rapidly growing colleges, at the expense of the voiceless people in
our mental institutions, at the expense of the blind, needy and
crippled children who must wait
and hope for state help.
Their justified requests for better
pay have already earned them an
unfair reputation for being concerned only with nioney." But that
reputation can only grow, and with
more reason, if they insist on this
raise at any price, instead of turning
their fire on the home ront where

public must know, that while the
teachers have a strong case, they
are making it in the wrong place.
It is at the local level, not in
Frankfort, that Kentucky lags in
school support. As the Governor
pointed out in his television appearance here Thursday, Kentucky
ranks 14th among the 50 states in
state spending for schools, but last
in spending at the local level. Once
more this year more than 65 cents
of every general-fundollar goes
to schools; once more the biggest
budget increases are for education.
But there has been no equal effort
at the district level. The courts have

Girard Will
Questioned
In Civil Suit
PHILADELPHIA, (CPS)-- A
new twist in the tangled Girard
College case came to light last
week when a nonprofit organization known as the Friends of
Stephen Girard petitioned the
United States District Court in
Philadelphia for permission to
intervene in the case.
The organization supports the
college trustees in contending
that the will of Stephen Girard,
founder of the tuition-fre- e
school,
should be upheld.
Girard, a Philadelphia financier who died in 1931, stipulated
in his will that the school should
limit admissions to "poor white
male orphans."
Last Dec. 16, the city of Philadelphia and the Commonwealth
of Pennsy lvania jointly filed suit
clause
to overturn the
after the school had been picketed
by the NAACP for over eight
months.
The civil suit against the
board of trustees of the
college charges that the refusal
to admit Negroes is a violation of
the U.S. Constitution, the laws of
Pennsylvania, and public policy.
