A Belknap first
UL tuition rates to drop
for Kentucky residents next year
For the first time in the history
of the University of Louisville
tuition rates will be substantially
lowered next year.
According to UL president
Woodrow Strickler, the reduction
will average $75 a semester in
each school of the University and
will become effective in the fall
of 1968.
The tuition reduction is being
made possible by the increase in
appropriations to the University
by the State of Kentucky. Most
students will now pay $525 in­stead
of $600 per semester.
The only students not affected
by the decrease are the approxi­mately
1,400 from out of the state
of Kentucky. They will continue
to pay the $1,800 non-resident
tuition rate now in effect at most
schools of the University.
Residency status was also ex­tended
to include all citizens of
Kentucky. Formerly, residents
were considered to be only those
students who lived Jefferson
County. These students will en­joy
an average reduction of $370
a semester. These Kentucky stu­dents
have been paying $900 a
semester as non-residents.

tude to the Governor and the
General Assembly for the in­creased
appropriation which en­abled
the University to lower
tuition this year.
"Without the additional money
from the Commonwealth, we
would have been forced by in­creases
in operating costs to an­nounce
another tuition increase
instead of a reduction," he added.
It is expected that tuition rates
will continue to decrease grad­ually
when UL enters the state
school system with an increase in
the appropriation of state funds.
Next fall the tuition reduction
will break down in the following
manner. Tuition at most schools
of the University, including the
College of Arts and Sciences, Law
(day), Graduate, Dental, Music,
Social Work, Business, and Edu­cation,
will be reduced from $600
to $525 a semester.
Evening courses at University
College will be reduced form $42
a credit hour to $36.50 a credit
hour and evening law tuition will
be reduced from $57 a credit hour
to $49.50.

will be lowered from $687.50 to
$612 a semester. Speed Scientific
School, which is operated on a

Nancy Tribble plays eighteenth-century role
French players present
Voltaire work May 22, 23
Giving Voltaire's La Princesse de Navarre its second production
since 1763, UL's French Players will go on stage May 22 and 23 at
8:30 p.m. in the Playhouse.
Donna Allen, as ••La Princesse" and her suitor Tony Valencourt
will head the all-student cast which, in the course of three acts and
several musical interludes, will give the pomp and pageantry of
eighteenth century court life a dramatic revival.
Another "first" since 1763 will be the complete presentation of a
musical score by composer Jean-Baptiste Rameau which is, according
to French Play director Dr. Mary Jo Fink, .. one of the good works of
a great artist." Countertenor Alfred Deller, the current Bingham pro­fessor,
will conduct the chorus and orchestra.
All-American basketball player Westley Unseld, who is remem­bered
for his portrayal of God in last year's French Play production,
will have a supporting role in La Princesse de Navarre. Other cast

Bill Lawrence, Fryberger chair­man,
noted that there were sev­eral
features which he felt helped
to make this year's sing more suc­cessful
than previous ones. Among
these changes are an improved
sound system, better lighting, and
refreshments. Among the new
additions was the change in order
of appearances-groups drew for
their places rather than proceed­ing
in alphabetical order. Law­rence
felt that this new method
was fairer. Also added this year
were third place trophies.

By Betty Stocker
From Palo Alto, California to
New York, the country has been
deluged by a wave of student
disturbances during the past
month. Kentucky is aware of the
fact.
During the week of April 3,
minor incidents were reported
on the campus of Kentucky State
College, a predominately Negro
school located east of downtown
Frankfort. Early on the Wednes­day
m~rning of that week, fire­bombs
were tossed into the school
library. About an hour later, an­other
fire, which destroyed thou­sands
of dollars worth of football
equipment, broke out in an ath­letic
storage building.
The once and
future campus
The pinnacle of the Social Sci­ence
Building, a longtime Belknap
CampU8 la:ndmark, overlooks G
colossal mound of dirt-the pres­age
of a future University, more
specifically the IA/e Sciences
Building.
Later in the week, after the
death of Doctor Martin Luther
King, more serious trouble be­gan.
Saturday night, April 6, stu­dents
and reported outsiders
threw rocks at passing cars. The
turmoil· was not destined to die
here. On Sunday night a group of
students spilled off campus, de­stroying
display windows at two
automobile dealerships and again
throwing bottles and rocks at
passing cars.
Actual demonstrations began
on Monday, April 8, when about
100 students of the 1,600 enrolled
at KSC blocked the campus en­trance
on U.S. 60. The demon­strators
prevented white students
and faculty from entering the col­lege.
(KSC has a 70 per cent
Negro enrollment and a 90 per
cent Negro faculty.)
Shortly after the incident, KSC
President Carl Hill announced
that the college would close im­mediately
- three days prema­turely-
for Easter vacation.
As a result of the disturbances,
several KSC students have been
suspended. After a hearing during
the last week in April, William
Walker, of Chicago, student coun­cil
president; James Jackson, of
Gadsen, Ala., senior class presi­dent;
and Stanley Day, of New
York, student council president­elect
were expelled.
F i r e s, demonstrations, an d
blockades - the same pattern
is occurring in many cities
throughout the country. For two
weeks, Columbia University has
been in constant turmoil. Several
hundred students held five build­ings
of the University for several
days, despite attempts by New
York police to remove them.
Led by SDS
The student protest was led by
the militant Students for a Demo­cratic
Society (SDS) which de­manded
that construction be
halted on a gym in nearby Har­lem
and that the University end
its participation in a Defense De­P
a r t m e n t research program.
Originally the student strike was
promoted by a farther reaching
group which demanded the resig­nation
of University President
Grayson Kirk and Vice-President
David Truman.
Similar incidents have oc­curred
at Southern Illinois Uni­versity
in Carbondale, ill, when
students protested a decision to
withdraw a speaking invitation
to black power advocate Stokely
Carmichael.
At Roosevelt University in Chi­cago,
the students conducted an
aU-day sit-in to protest the veto
of the hiring the controversial
history instructor Staughton
Lynd by President Roll Wei!.
