The tuition cuts would come in two equal installment $100 in the fall of this year and $100 in the fall of 1977. Only residents of Kentucky receive the reduction. Carroll said he stopped at a S200 reduction because he felt "compelled" to ask the Council on Public 1 Iigher Education to stud; the possibility of raising tuition at the other state schools. Other state universities charge $480 can be completed since the university's per year while U of L presently charges heating and cooling capacity is already $780. taxed. U of L President James G. Miller said the tuition cuts "will substantiallly eliminate the last financial barrier to public higher education for thousands of Kentuckians." The tuition reduction is exected to keep U of L's growth rate high. University officials said they arc currently estimating 12-13% growth each year. The governor also recommended three new buildings for state funding - a new library-learning resource center, a new music school on Belknap Campus and a new steam and chilled water plant. The steam and chilled water plant must be built before any new buildings Land acquisition and various systems augmentations were also recommended for U of L. Miller said, "Substantial commitments for land acquisition and construction will insure that the classrooms and other facilities are available to meet our obligations to teach an mcreasing student population." Miller also said an '"innovative approach" for capital construction proposals will allow various U of L projects to be considered on their individual merits. He added, "We are confident that the individualized merits will assure several new building ."

As if resenting the invasion of its privacy, a squirrel bristles as the photographer moves in for a closer focus. By STEVE WINGFIELD The University of Louisville will receive over $75 million in state funds during the next biennium if Gov. Julian Carroll's budget is approved by the General Assembly , but the university's budget problems will not disappear overnight. U of L would receive over $22 million more than the $52.9 million in state funds during the current biennium, but, after a 5% cost-of-living raise is deducted, the university will receive approximately $5 million in new money. U of L President James G. Miller, in a statement issued late Wednesday , said, "This is not a great deal of money, but it can be enough to continue and accelerate our catch-up process." Miller said the university can start to meet commitments to upgrade programs which do not meet accreditation standards and to replace "soft money" now being used as a basic part of the university's budget. The "soft money" is money from grants and contracts which can be cut off. Miller said "the fiscal base of the university will be spare but sound once and for all'' when the "soft money" is replaced. "Soft money" resources will still be available to the university , but they won't be used as part of the basic budget. Miller said the remainder of the $5 million will be spent in academic support and maintenance areas "which have been neglected for too long." Gov. arroll had, during his campaign, promised "full funding" for U of L during his administration. Asked Wednesday to explain what "full funding" meant , he said , "I guess the best way to find out if we took care of the University of Louisville is to ask the officials of the University of Louisville." Miller, in his statement , said , "The dollars he is recommending for the university will not solve all of uur problems. Underfunding has taken a severe toll on the institution. But, for the first time, no unique funding problems cloud our fiscal picture. When considered in relation to the many pressing needs of Kentucky's people, and the substantial special interest pressures exerted on the budget process, the allocation recommended for the university represents a full measure of fairness for this institution." Steve Bing, assistant to the president , said, "The governor's approach, in terms of the dollars made available to higher education , was a very fair approach." U of L would receive approximately 29% of the new funds for higher education in I 976-77 , and 2'/c in 1977-78. The university would , under the proposed budget, receive approximately 86% of the $85 million recommended for U of L by the Council on Public Higher Education, while stage colleges and univer ities as a whole had their council recommendations cut 40%. More fund for U of L would be available through the enrollment growth pool the governor has recommended. All state universities and colleges will share in the $2.3 recommended for 1976-77 and the $4.6 million in 1977-78. The CPHE would divide the funds among the institutions having enrollment increases through a formula based on the number of undergraduates who enroll at the university. Also , the university will share with the University of Kentucky a $2.7 million program to create 72 more "primary care" medical residencies throughout the state. Other state funds for the university are possible through supplemental appropriations in the next two years. Miller said he expects a continued full measure of fairness" in dealing with the governor in the next few years.
