RALPH McGILL
y. S. Help Seen Necessary on $40 Billion
For 7 Million in Colleges in 1870

Many a fond parent,
happily watching his young
be merry on Christmas Day,
had his pleasure interrupted
with the painful realization
that one day they would be
going away to college and
that money would be re-
quired.
Recent months have seen
a number of colleges and
universities raise tuition.
Without exception, most of
this increase has been bud
geted for raising faculty
salaries. There will be more
of such news in 1860.
A handful of colleges, all
Of them offering high-level
liberal arts education, boldly
have moved to make tuition
pay the whole cost Of edu-
eating the student. These
institutions have been careful
to provide a variety of
scholarships. No college wants
to admit only those who can
pay the full cost.
But all know that unless
some source is found to pro-
vide adequate faculty pay,
inexorably those institutions
which can, by endowment
and tuition income, meet the
competitive demand, will end
up with most of the superior
teachers. Not all, by any
means, but most.
Indeed. this already is hap
pening. The better teacher
quite naturally prefers to
teach where the facilities for
instruction are good, where
students are selected with a
view to competency and
interest, and where there is
a tradition of scholarship and

Growing Higher Education Needs

ternity. clubs. dances and
travel trips home at Christ
mas and Easter are not in
cluded. For the average stu
dent at a private university
in a large city travel costs
and room rent are nonexist-
ent or small. Board also is
less. For these the annual
expense is about $500.
In the average State uni
versity in a small city the
tuition averages not $1,000,
but $500.
The municipal or COM
muter university or college,
with an average tuition Of
$500, ends up with an annual
cost of $1,000. This type of
institution makes a lot of
sense in the context of our
times when urban areas con-
tinually expand. Having no

sorieS Of the usual university.

experts present disturbing
findings.
In 1900 our college enroll
ment was $4,000.
Today it is about 3.6 mil
lion. BY 1870, a mere 10 years
away, it is expected to be
about 7 million.
BY 1870 American higher
education will require about
$40 billion annually. The
present expenditure is about
$3.6 billion. Federal aid is
inescapably a part of the
raising Of the necessary
money. We are dangerously
tardy in not now knowing
how we will raise the neces-
sary minimum-$10 billion.

Democrats Problem Not Eosed

the New Deal and the condi-
tions making it necessary and
successful are long dead. The
tactics Of yesterdays battles
will not win actions on to-
days terrain.
Mr.. Nixon will give of an
impression mainly Of compe-
tence and strength. The
Democratic nominee will
surely need to do likewise.
The true nature Of the
struggle has been set by the
Republicans. They are going
to offer not a man of fresh
ideas CMr. Rockefeller but a
master practical politician
Mr.. Nixon. The Democrats,
to have a chance, must run
at least a good politician
against him.
Mr.. Nixon is going to be
strong everywhere but in the
South. His nomination will
practically hand the South
over to the Democrats-if
they are skilled in the art of
politics. which is simply the
art of rational compromise.
They will need to be wise
enough, in short, to choose
a standard bearer and write
a civil rights plank not alb
solutely intolerable below the
Potomac. For this time the
South they will badly need.
And as a practical matter,
Mr.. Nixon's civil rights rec
ord is so advanced that their
ability to outbid him in the
North is highly questionable
anyhow.
Three Democratic posi-
bilities"-Adlai E. Stevenson
ana Senators Lyndon B.
johnson and John F. Ken
nedy-could honestly run on
a moderate civil rights plank.
1t is difficult to see how any
other major and now visible
Democratic aspirant could do
so.
Evening star., 1959-12-30

Mr.. Nixon's severest critics
must concede him this: He
can take it, as he can dish
1t out.
Moreover, the mere fact
that Mr.. Rockefeller obe-
diently got out of the COM
petition clearly brings some
bad-as well as some possibly
good-news for the Demo-
Gratis. For it proves to the
hilt what had long been plain
to all close political observ-
erS: The best secret weapon
m the Republicans arsenal
is that they know how to
maintain, and even to force,
operating unity in facing the
common Democratic enemy.
When the professionals can
simply tell a man so power
full as Mr.. Rockefeller that
he must quietly drop out Of
contention. the profound
practical unity Of that party
cannot be argued. Campaigns,
Of course, are won by many
factors. But not the least Of
these is the possession of
disciplined d battalions of
party fighters.
OF such practical unity the
Democrats, as OF now, have
anything but. They have now
got to meet an actual Nixon,
not a theoretical Rockefeller.
And unless they can draw to-
gether they are going to have
a difficult time, indeed.
Already, some Democrats
are assuming that because
Mr.. Nixon is said to be con-
servative" land in such mat
tiers as civil rights he is sure
ly not they must nominate
a New Deal type Of liberal.
No reality of the last eight
years supports such a notion.
The unalterable fact is that

Outbursts Viewed as Soviet Play
To Arabs and Thrust at Adenouer

The anti-Semitic outburst
in West Germany has all
the earmarks of having
been artificially contrived by
the propagandistS of the
Soviet Union. Its obvious
purpose would be to impair
Chancellor Adenauer's posi-
ton in the Western world
and ALLEVIATE, if possible, the
good opinion which has been
developed toward West Ger
many in recent years.
Demonstrations of anti
Semitism in West Germany
have been denounced by the
Adenauer government. and
there is every indication that
the German people deplore
such evidences of religious
bigotry. But the same cannot
be said Of the Soviet govern
ment. Here, for instance, is
a revealing dispatch from
Manchester. England, which
came over the wires of Reu-
ters News Service on De-
cember "a but was not wide
ly noted in the United
States:
THE Manchester Guard
ian, a liberal newspaper, to-
day said that anti-Jewish
feelings in Russia are being
encouraged both by news
paper articles and by admin
istrative measures.
THE Guardian cited re-
Gently published reports that

from Moscow. the synagogue
was set on fire in October
as we'll as the cottage Of
the caretaker of the Jewish
cemetery, whose wife died in
the blaze.
Such outrages may be
acts of hooliganism, rather
than of deliberate policy
the Guardian said. But there
is no evidence that the au-
thorities are taking ener-
getic steps to stamp out this
evil before it spreads
The newspaper said that
synagogues were being closed
and Jewish cemeteries req
uiSitioned."
Just a few hours after the
Manchester Guardian article
appeared, the news wires were
telling Of the desecration Of
a rebuilt Jewish synagogue
in Cologne, West Germany,
which Chancellor Adenauer

serious desire to learn. In
each region today it is pretty
general knowledge which
schools have the strongest
faculties. And why.
1t should be said, at the
outset, that save for the
handful of schools afore-
mentioned, tuition nowhere
pays the cost of teaching the
student. CThe widest dis
parity is in medical schools.)
This lack must be made up.
Endowment is one source
usually the only one, save for
the few fortunate institutions
where alumni or foundations
provide annual funds supple
menting teachers salaries.
What generally has happened
is painfully plain. The bills
have been met by keeping
faculty budgets low. 1t is no
fiction to say students in COL
lege long have been, and are,
thus subsidized or given un-
seen scholarships by the
faculty.
There are four general
kinds of higher education.
These are private liberal arts
colleges, private universities
in large cities. State univer-
sites in smaller cities, and
commuter or municipal uni
versities in cities or suburbs.
Tuition at the first two
types averages about $1,000
per year. At not a few institu-
tions tuition ranges from ST.
500 to $4,000. But the aver
age is $1,000. Total costs per
year in the private liberal
arts college average $2,260.
This includes books and sup
plies, room rent, board, travel,
clothing and incidentals.
Costs of social life, fra

September.
On Christmas eve, swas-
tikas and slogans saying,
Germans demand that Jews
get out" were smeared on the
temple walls in red and white
paint. and black paint was
Splashed over a nearby
monument to victims of
Naziism which bears the
words: This memorial re-
calls the most shameful
period of German history"
The Adenauer government
has been energetically con-
Quoting an investigation and
has made several arrests. A
statement from the local
government authorities says
it is almost certain" that
leaders in the Cologne Office
Of the extreme right-wing
German ReichS Party knew
about the plan to desecrate
the synagogue. One Of the
persons arrested is known to
have Communist ties.
Undoubtedly there are still
anti-SemiteS in Germany,
and the Communists know
how to utilize some of them
to advantage. Indeed, there
is reason to believe the Mos
COW government has stimu-
lated some of the former
NaziS who reside in Argen-
tina and in the United States
to foment friction between
religious groups.
1t will be recalled that in
this country not so long ago
synagogues in widely sep
arated parts of the West and
south were Smearad with
paint, and then there were
anonymous telephone calls
which were couched in typi-
cal Communist phrases such
as now are emerging in West
Germany. There are reports,
too. that the Moscow appa-
ratus has made use Of some
Arabs resident in America
to help foment anti-Semitic
outburstS in the South and
other parts of the country.
The technique of the Com
munists is to seize upon any
kind Of friction and exploit
1T for propaganda purposes.
The Moscow strategistS are
not averse to double talk,
either. Though atheism is one

 Of course Kodiak is not free of debt and we wouldn't want to con- vey that impression. $124,5OO is still owing Aleutian Homes, Inc, for streets in that area; $1 ,44O to Bureau of Land Management; gen. eral obligation bonds authorized and issued to the tune of $191, ,OOO.

Heading Under Which Money Is Spent Very Important ln City Government

the City pays out $22, ,2O3.9O year for the job.
 Another big item which comes out of the general fund is the pub lie school monies. This amounts to $86, 500, the City's share of the school budget. Other items under this fund are park and cemetary, health department, social expense, fire insurance, workmen's compen- Sation, fleet insurance.
 Then, too, there are a number of capital expenditures, such as the City Hall building, office equip ment, City jail building, police de partment equipment, garage equip ment and cemetary property.
 According to the audit, total ex- penditures in the last fiscal year amounted to $319,778.50 and reve-
Kodiak mirror., 1959-08-08

nue $317,81O.66, leaving a small deficit.
 The water and sewer fund reve- nue totalled $79, ,314.88 and .expen- ditures $53. .684.97, to provide this necessary service. This left a balance in the black of $25, ,629 .91. The color of ink on the ledger sheet was changed to red, how ever, when consideration was giv- en for depreciation, which was set at $39,013.6O, thus wiping out any excess of revenue and creating a deficit of $13,383.6O.
 We could go into more detail on the component parts under the sewer and water fund. We could also go into detail from the report, on the general fixed asset fund, the bond fund and the long term fixed debt fund.
 We will conclude this article with a summary of the City'S com bined statement of financial condi-
