14 THE EASTERN ALUMNUS JUSTICE

And EKU

by david m. vance

' ore than three million major crimes were reported in the United States last year. The cost for criminal actions climbed above $27 billion during the same period. An estimated four million persons were injured in automobile accidents, with an economic loss estimated at $12 billion. Another of America's great political leaders was felled by an assassin's bullet. The one per- plexing question —.why.'' — goes unanswered. A partial solution to the problem is found in better training for our law enforcement personnel. For that reason, Eastejrn has led higher education into the struggle to meet this vital need. A School of Law Enforcement and a Traffic Safety Institute were established. Today, their energetic, dedicated staffs are exploring the projected ramifications of better training. They are seeking the answer. There is no quick solution, hut there is a permanent solution.

He operates hand-in-hand with the Kentuclcy Depart- ment of Corrections. LesHe Leach, director of the Traffic Safety Insti-

tute at Eastern, is developing new methods of driver education, which will, in his words, "provide the foundation for combating mass murder on our highways." Basically, these men are part of a sharply honed

unit of crime fighters. Their objective is no different than that of a metropolitan police force or a one-man department in rural Appalachia.

"True, our objective is the same," says Posey, "but we want the grass roots. Naturally, we can't strap a pistol on our hips and wipe out crime. But we can deal within. We can seek answers and supply them to our law enforcement agencies. In the same token, these agencies can't e.xpect to strap a pistol on their hips and accomplish their goals. That's why they come to us.

The school is founded on the philosophy that the prob-

concentrates on driver education training. Hulteen also assisted in setting up a Motor Fleet Supervisor Training Course for supervisors, managers, and safety directors of motor fleets. It met with very favorable response, attracting candidates from throughout the southeast. "Our research is expanding rapidly," says Leach. "Recently, we conducted a Base Year Study of all expenditures on highway safety in Kentucky during the 1964-65 and 1965-66 fiscal years. The study was^ prepared for the Department of Public Safety to comply with requests set forth under the Hiehway Safety Act of 1966." needs A study and ten-year projection also was conducted to determine costs needed for 100 per cent com- pliance with the Highway Safety Standards for the next ten years in Kentucky. This study also was prepared for the Department of Public Safety. The Traffic Safety Institute has functioned in various capacities in the field of public service. Aside from a monthly newsletter sent to public officials throughout Kentucky, the institute also produced a safety film on alcohol as it relates to teenagers. It was developed jointly with the Department of Public Safety and will be used by school, civic and church groups. Its title: "A Saturday Afternoon."

Local school districts also have been aided by the institute, which helps write proposals under the High- way Safety Act of 1966 in establishing or expanding driver education programs. Also dealing with the Highway Safety Act is a public information program covering these standards. It includes television and radio spots, regional meetings, brochures and other means of outlining the program. "The area of law enforcement," says Rowlett, "has been one of our most rewarding ventures. We have an tt energetic staff devoted to a very demanding task.

Or anything else. For whenever several agree, touching on what they wish to learn, a teacher will be sent from Richmond.

And those sent this semester have been among the best. Men like professors ollege Quentin Keen. Byno Rhodes. D. B. Pettengill, Walter Odum, Robert Posey. Because out in the field, even more than on the campus, the professor doubles as a public-relations representative of the University. A housewife in a tiny mountain town, taking a course in, say. Western Civilization, will judge the Richmond school she has never seen by the professor who teaches her.

"Let us put it this way," says Dr. LaRue Cocanougher, Dean for Continuing Education, "the people who teach in Orop-In the field are among our best teachers."

"The field" this last semester was 20 different sites over the Commonwealth, Paducah the farthest from Rich- mond and Lexington the nearest. (Robert Posey makes the long trip to Paducah by airplane.) Some of the smaller communities are Elkhorn, Johns Creek and Manchester, but Eastern professors also traveled to Louisville for seven different courses, all senior or graduate classes.

All told, there were 37 different courses offered by ex- Betty T. Balke tension during the spring semester. Graduate courses, says Dr. Byno Rhodes, Professor of English who is winding up an American Literature (350) course at Manchester, "would require a good library within reach of the students," although he feels that under-

graduate instruction, in English at least, is possible out in the field without loss of quality. The credit goes, says

Rhodes, to cheap paperback books (cheap in price, that is, not content) available in abundance.

In Louisville, where Dr. D. B. Pettengill. chairman of the department of political science, has taught POL 630 ("Seminar in the Political Process"), libraries abound. Dr. Pettengill asks for several short research papers and some 1.000 pages of outside reading during the semester. But

the liveliest part of his class is probably the discussions, in which all hands "are encouraged to dig into their communities and to separate political fact from fancy." Adds

Pettengill, "for some purposes, thinking is as important as writing, and a professor can learn something of a student's thought from his speech."

Most of Pettengill's students at Louisville already had the MA, and they were, in his words, "important people." When he taught the same course at Pikeville. Pettengill found the level of education somewhat lower, on the whole, though most of his Pikeville students were MA candidates, many of them school principals and assistant principals. Pettengill worked up this particular extension course at the suggestion of Dr. Dixon Barr, dean of the

College of Education, who thought it would be valuable for community leaders and schoolmen.

23 Mrs. Charlotte Hart Dunkman, retired industrial arts teacher from Lexington, is auditing an English class this summer, plans to attend the Creative Writing Conference in July. Her special interest, she says, is poetry, the sonnet in particular. She admits to being "about 80" and hence qualifies easily for Eastern's W. F. O'Donnell Fellowship program, which offers tuition to students 65 and older. Visiting Mrs. Dunkman in her Burnam Hallj room are freshman nursing students Laura Hunt (center) and Linda Lockhart, both of South Shore. ':

teaching is a service profession ("take service out of

A Special Report

The

Plain Fact Is .

. . . our colleges and universities "are facing what might easily become a crisis"

VR COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES, over the last 20 years, have O:experienced an expansion that is without precedent—in buildings and in budgets, in students and in professors, in reputation and in rewards—in power and pride and in deserved prestige. As we try to tell our countrymen that we are faced with imminent bankruptcy, we confront the painful fact that in the eyes of the American people—and I think also in the eyes of disinterested observers abroad—we are a triumphant success. The observers seem to beheve—and I believe myself—that the American campus ranks with the American corporation among the handful of

first-class contributions which our civilization has made to the annals of human institutions. We come before the country to plead financial emergency at a time when our public standing

has never been higher. It is at the least an unhappy accident of timing. —McGeorge Bundy President, The Ford Foundation

A Special Report

A STATE-SUPPORTED UNIVERSITY in the Midwest makes /\ a sad announcement: With more well-quaUfied /—% apphcants for its freshman class than ever be- ^ m. fore, the university must tighten its entrance requirements. Qualified though the kids are, the univer-

sity must turn many of them away. A private college in New England raises its tuition fee for the seventh time since World War II. In doing high-school so, it admits ruefully: "Many of the best graduates can't afford to come here, any more." A state college network in the West, long regarded as one of the nation's finest, cannot offer its students the usual range of instruction this year. Despite inten- sive recruiting, more than 1,000 openings on the faculty were unfilled at the start of the academic year. A church-related college in the South, whose de- nomination's leaders believe in strict separation of church and state, severs its church ties in order to seek money from the government. The college must have such money,

say its administrators—or it will die. Outwardly. America's colleges and universities appear more affluent than at any time in the past. In the aggregate they have more money, more students, more buildings, better-paid faculties, than ever before in their history. Yet many are on the edge of deep trouble. "The plain fact," in the words of the president of Columbia University, "is that we are facing what might higher easily become a crisis in the financing of American education, and the sooner we know about it, the better off we will be."

TROUBLE is uot limited to a few institutions. two types of THENor does it affect only one or institution.

And, for most of the nation's 2,300 colleges and uni- iversities, an old problem remained—and was intensified, |as the costs of education rose: gifts, endowment, and Igovemment funds continued to go, disproportionately, 'to a relative handful of institutions. Some 36 per cent of

I funds were owned by fewer than 5 per cent of the institutions. In 1966, the most recent year reported, some 70 per cent of the federal government's funds for higher education went to 100 institutions. McGeorge Bundy, the president of the Ford Founda-

tion, puts it this way: "Great gains have been made; the academic profession has reached a wholly new level of economic strength, and the instruments of excellence—the libraries and

laboratories— are stronger than ever. But the university that pauses to look back will quickly fall behind in the endless race to the future." Mr. Bundy says further: "The greatest general problem of higher education is money The multiplying needs of the nation's colleges and universities force a recognition that each new attempt at a massive solution has left the trustees and presidents just where they started: in very great need."

FINANCIAL PROBLEMS of higher education THEare unlike those, say, of industry. Colleges and universities do not operate like General Mo- tors. the On contrary, they sell their two pri- mary services— teaching and research—at a loss. It is safe to say (although details may diflfer from institution to institution) that the American college or university student pays only a fraction of the cost of his education. This cost varies with the level of education and with the educational practices of the institution he attends Undergraduate education, for instance, costs less than graduate education—which in turn may cost less than medical education. And the cost of educating a student m the sciences is greater than in the humanities. What- ever the variations, however, the student's tuition and fees pay only a portion of the bill. "As private enterprises," says one president, "we don't seem to be doing so well. We lose money every time we take in another student." Of course, neither he nor his colleagues on other campuses would have it otherwise. Nor, it seems clear would most of the American people. But just as student instruction is provided at a substantial reduction from the actual cost, so is the research that the nation's universities perform on a vast scale for the federal government. On this particular below-cost service, as contrasted with that involving the provision of education to their students, many colleges and universities are considerably less than enthusiastic. In brief: The federal government rarely pays the full cost of the research it sponsors. Most of the money goes for dn-ect costs (compensation for faculty time equipment computer use, etc.) Some of it goes for indirect costs (such 'overhead" costs of the institution as payroll departments, libraries, etc.). Government policy stipu- lates that the institutions receiving federal research grants

—

must share in the cost of the research by contributing, in some fashion, a percentage of the total amount of the grant. University presidents have insisted for many years that the government should pay the full cost of the re-

search it sponsors. Under the present system of cost-

sharing, they point out, it actually costs their institutions money to conduct federally sponsored research. This has been one of the most controversial issues in the partner- ship between higher education and the federal govern-

ment, and it continues to be so. In commercial terms, then, colleges and universities

sell their products at a loss. If they are to avoid going bankrupt, they must make up—from other sources—the difference between the income they receive for their services and the money they spend to provide them. With costs spiraling upward, that task becomes ever more formidable.

Consider what this might mean for a typical privates —

In publicly supported colleges and universities, the

outlook is no brighter, although the gloom is of a different variety. Says the report of a study by two professors at the University of Wisconsin: "Public institutions of higher education in the United States are now operating at a quality deficit of more than a billion dollars a year. In addition, despite heavy construction schedules, they have accumulated a major capital lag."

The deficit cited by the Wisconsin professors is a com- putation of the cost of bringing the public institutions' expenditures per student to a level comparable with that at the private institutions. With the enrollment growth expected by 1975, the professors calculate, the "quality deficit" in pubhc higher education will reach $2.5 billion. The problem is caused, in large part, by the tremendous enrollment increases in public colleges and universities. The institutions' resources, says the Wisconsin study, "may not prove equal to the task." Moreover, there are indications that public institutions may be nearing the limit of expansion, unless they receive a massive infusion of new funds. One of every seven public universities rejected qualified applicants from their own states last fall; two of every seven rejected qualified applicants from other states. One of every ten raised admissions standards for in-state students; one in six raised standards for out-of-state students.

was the object of a long, intense talent hunt, and Henow he's on TV five days a week with an audience rating of something like 100 percent. He is

tall, greying and distinguished, with a mellifluous, southern voice. Dr. Bennie Lane, chairman of the department of mathematics, doesn't get a penny in residuals, nor does he care.

He is Eastern's television pioneer, conducting four classes a day over the University's own closed-circuit network—thanks to videotape. Last semester. Dr. Lane conducted seven TV classes. All were identical sections of Mathematics 109, the basic course for mathematics majors and minors. There was, in each case, a second banana, so to speak, an on-the-scene instructor to review, answer questions, as- sign homework and introduce Dr. Lane's daily, 30-minute taped lecture. These back-up men currently are instructors Thomas Higgenbotham, Bobby Nayle, Larry Short and Mrs. Lynn Fisher Houston.

Each classroom is dominated by two big TV sets. We caught Dr. Lane at the Radio-TV Center one morning after he had patiently explained the intricacies of radian measure and of trigometric variation on two video- taped segments of his "show." Yes, he admitted, there was some tension about these tapings — "you do them for pos- terity, so to speak." He learned some of his TV savvy while a graduate assistant at George Peabody, working toward his Ph.D. There, says Lane, he was one of several classroom teachers who supplemented the TV lectures of a mathematics department luminary. Now and then Lane was invited to be a "guest lecturer." That, however, does not explain the "talent hunt" that brought Dr. Lane to Eastern. Mathe- matics Ph.D.'s are scarce, sought-after and, upon the academic marketplace, in a highy enviabe po-

sition. If, further, a mathematics Ph.D. is experi-

enced in TV and as personable as Dr. Lane, he is likely to be even more ardently wooed by deans and presidents. Dr. Lane looks on TV as "just one more teaching medium," — albeit a highly effective one. A certain uniform- ity, he thinks, results from the use of a single instructor for

Lane himself will be freed next semester from Math 109, with a complete set of lectures preserved on tape. "There," he

says, "may lie the real economy of ETV."

Now, in spite of his enthusiasm for ETV, Lane does I not feel that his subject has any inherent adaptability to ' the electronic medium. "There are no limitations on the subject matter that can be presented on television," he

says. "Some experimenting will be necessary, I suppose, as

it was for us. After a semester's practice we became pretty

exact in our timing and, I hope, poised in the delivery."

As he talked. Dr. Lane was surrounded by some $300,- 000 in electronic hardware, the newest and best black-and-

white equipment there is. All this and the personnel to op-

erate it is housed in Eastern's new radio-TV Center, hard! by the Model Laboratory School in the northwest corneri of the campus.

"These people here," said Lane, "have been completely cooperative. Jim Harris has put his whole staff at my dis- posal."

Fifty thousand watts of radio power go on the air

September 1, when WEKU-FM begins beaming its sig-

nal from the transmitter at Clays Ferry, under the watchful eye of coordinator-announcer John Sullivan.

Sullivan, a veteran of commercial radio, is a guar-

antee against pedantry, if one were needed. "The en-

tire University is our bailiwick," he says, "and every-

thing here that is interesting has a chance to get on

the air.

"We will not be competing with commercial radio," he adds, "and we won't be hampered by the demands of sponsors. We won"t be forced to direct everything to the masses, nor will we have to avoid the controversial

just because it is controversial."

Sullivan envisions lively discussions on such ques-

tions as: the value of studying Shakespeare, the U. S. commitment in Vietnam, the overemphasis (or under- emphasis) of athletics in the modern university, the neg-

lect (if any) of the liberal arts, and the like.

At first. WEKU-FM will be on the air from 5 to

1 1 p.m. daily, mostly with music. Later the schedule

will expand to include lectures, conferences, recitals,

symposia, all the manifold activities resulting from what Sullivan calls "the reservoir of intelligence" on a campus.

Not to be forgotten is WEKU's function as a prov-

ing-ground for trainees in the radio arts. "There is," says Sullivan, "a tremendous need for well-prepared

personnel in the field of communications, and this new

radio station of ours is an ideal place to prepare them."

John Sullivan, manager of WEKU-FM, is an Eastern alumnus with a wide background in commercial radio. When the station goes on the air Septem- ber I, the signal will be transmitted from the tower at Clay's Ferry.

I doubt very seriously, of all the thousands of former students of this great institution we call Eastern—if any of them could have been less likely to have been

invited to speak to its graduates and distinguished faculty on such an occasion as this — so my pride and pleasure this morning know no bounds.

My academic rating was not the best — my general standing only average —

so it is not surprising, therefore, that along with several thousand other former students and graduates of Eastern

I have never attained the stature and prominence sufficient to be honored as an alumni officer — as an outstanding graduate — or other position of similar honor and of course this merely reflects the good judgment of those who have made these decisions. And yet I am devoted to — and love Eastern with a passion. Why shouldn't I? — Eastern you see, first came into being in 1906 — and

Four New Regents Named

Begley, Wallace Wilborn, Whalin Sworn In

The oath of office was administered in April to four new members of Eastern's Board of Regents. A business executive from Richmond and a Lexington attorney were appointed to four-year terms. At the same time the university became one of the first in the nation to name a faculty member and student to its governing board.

Appointed to four-year terms by Gov. Louie B. Nunn were Robert B. Begley, president of the Begley Drug Co., and William L. Wallace of the Lexington law firm of Wallace, Turner and Trigg.

58 THE EASTERN ALUMNUK by JAMES W. THURMAN ALUMNI REPORT Director of Alumni Affairs

They are not even alumni, but the students of East- ern are contributing to the Meditation Chapel

with all the eagerness and idealism of youth. We older alumni are doing pretty well, but these young-

sters, all of whom live on a "student budget" are contributing an impressively high percentage of their personal and club funds to the much needed chapel,

Indi\idual alumni have pledged thousands of dollars, but there are thousands more whose good intentions so

far resulted in no contribution at all.

All we need do. I think, is reflect on what Eastern has meant to us. in terms of lifelong friendships and of earning power. Then perhaps we will act upon the Uni-

versity's invitation to contribute to Meditation Chapel. The Executive Committee and its future representatives were on hand for Alumni Day, 1968-69. In the top picture left to right, are: Ted Cook, '56, No federal or state funds can be used on the Chapel, president; Shirley Hacher, '58, second vice president, and Raymond Wil- as they have so generously been used on classroom son, '49, first vice president.

For the Chapel, as needed as the Meditation Chapel progress chart, are, left to president-elect; Betty Crank Murphy, '54, second vice president-elect, it is. belongs to the category of religious structures, and and Paul Wright, '49, first vice president-elect. as such must be built with private funds. ociiiuni Eastern herself bought the Mary Frances Richards Alumni House, and the University, through the gene- rosity of Arnold Hanger, acquired the Arlington Fac-

ulty and Alumni Center. But the Meditation Chapel is

the first and only project which alumni alone may build.

Alumni, that is. and friends and students.

A University, as you well know, is more than the sum

of its buildings and the experience is more than four

years of one's life. If there is any tangible way to dem-

onstrate the spirit that is Eastern, that way is through the building of our Meditation Chapel.

It is small, as buildings go, and relatively inexpen-

sive. But it is a graceful addition to our campus, a attending meetings and contacting individuals for sup- sequestered and quiet place where a student can retreat port of this project. Won't you help this fine group of for awhile and rest, meditate, pray — before he enters financing the Chapel the busy world of the campus again. alumni reach their objective — Project? The Meditation Chapel will commemorate 100 years of Higher Education on this campus (1874-1974). But,
