All The Comforts of Home An African violet on the dresser, a few throw pillows on the beds, and the dorm room has all the comforts of home. Right? Well, maybe not exactly but some University students used a touch of creativity and made what seemed like a cell-like cubicle into a more than livable room. Using remnant carpet pieces, posters, contac paper and other decorating knick-knacks, students added a spark to otherwise drab rooms. We may never see Case Hall featured in Better Homes and Gardens, but sometimes students living on-campus do unique and creative things with their allotted space. All it takes is a little ingenuity. Elaine Johnson, a resident of Clay Hall has used a little imagination to make her room different from the rest. 28 Student Life

Students planning on returning to the University in the fall of 1982 found their finances burning on both ends of the candle, as Doug Whitlock, executive assistant to the president, put it. For the first time, students faced both a sharp tuition increase and a dwindling supply of financial aid. The State Council on Higher Education lit one end of the candle with a 15 percent tuition increase for the next two years, which meant in-state students would pay $337 per semester in 1982 instead of $293. The following year would see Kentucky students paying $388 per semester. Out-of-state students were hit just as hard by the hike. Their tuition would jump from $870 per semester in 1981 to $1,011 in 1982 and $1,163 in 1983. Meanwhile, the Reagan Administration lit the other end of the candle with the largest proposed cuts in federal financial aid ever. Herb Vescio, director of fi- nancial aid, estimated that about 1,000 University stu- dents could have their financial assistance cut in 1982- 83, and as many as 3,200 in 1983-84, if the tremen- dous proposed cuts were passed by Congress. At stake for 1982-83 was a $91.4 million cut in na- tional Pell Grants and a $44 million in the College Study Work Program. Naturally, when you lose money it ' s going to hurt somebody, Vescio said, just how much money would be lost kept him wondering. He and his staff had to delay processing financial aid forms for 1982-83 until Congress acted on Reagan ' s proposals. Brightening the prospects somewhat, were about 5,000 student leaders from across the country who gathered in the nation ' s capitol to protest the pending cuts. Among those lobbying in Washington, D.C., were Student Association President Carl Kremer and Vice-President Neil Dimond, who said they were flat out against the proposals. Student Life 27
