State education finance plan in the making
The groundwork for a master plan to aid in the financing of higher education in Kansas has been formulated by Kansas college administrators who met on campus this week.
The Kansas Association of Colleges and Universities has voted to expand a committee charged with development of the financial master plan. Comprising the original committee are KU Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, James Doty, president of Baker University; Baldwin, and Andrew Elland, president of Hutchinson Community Junior College.
Chancellor Wescoe said the committee has just begun work on the proposed master plan and

whether we want four per cent or six per cent inflation. The British pound devaluation's effect on the United States depends on what our government does concerning taxes and other things."
Another effect on the United States might be that of higher interest rates, Gaumnitz suggested. This might be necessary to facilitate the total outflow of money from the United States so that British investors in this country would continue to invest, he said. Otherwise, they might invest in other countries where the interest rate was higher.

James A. McCain, president of Kansas State University and KACU president, said appointment of the committee was initiated by action of the Kansas Council of Church Related Colleges.
The Council, an organization of 22 church-supported schools, recently withdrew action it had taken a year ago supporting state aid to provide colleges pending development of a plan for state aid to higher education.

"There has been a misunderstanding involving the principles of state schools and church schools in regard to seeking funds from the legislature," McCain said. "A significant step in eliminating this, I believe, has been taken by the council."
Baker president Doty, who said he had received a number of letters from executives of private schools expressing a desire for more cooperation between public and private colleges in the state, explained the position of the church-related colleges.

"The private colleges have an intense interest in education in Kansas and they have no desire to seek an advantageous position for themselves," Doty said. "They
support public institutions but, at the same time, feel a strong imperative to maintain a private system in Kansas."
The need to update a 1960 educational survey of Kansas which predicted enrollments and building needs was brought to the attention of the association by Doty and Elland.
"We feel if we are to approach this thing now we need to take a good look at this study and bring the thing up to date, especially enrollment projections and building need projections," Elland said.
"I'm hoping we have resources within this group to get this kind of information and once we get it, to go to the Legislature and say, 'This is what we need to solve the educational problems of this state.'"
Chancellor Wescoe, proposing four annual meetings instead of the present one, said, "There has been frustration this year, nationally as well as locally, about the status of higher education. Locally there isn't one single voice to speak out for education. This leads to a feeling of despair and this kind of a feeling we ought to dissipate.
"I think, if we look at our record in Kansas, we have been derelict. We have had opportunities to have a single voice, but we
have never taken advantage of them.
The Association voted in favor of Wescoto's suggestion.
The master plan committee will conduct a survey to determine whether state institutions are meeting the financial needs of potential students.
Elland, chairman of the committee on new programs of financial assistance, said the committee learned that between $3,000 and $8,000 would be needed to
finance the survey unless a graduate student in one of the state schools would undertake the project as research for a doctorate.
McCain said he believed the survey related to the work of the committee developing the master plan for state financing and turned the matter over to committee members with the suggestion that the possibility of a federal grant be researched.
