Special le The Couritr-Journal LEXINGTON. Ky. The University of Kentucky appointed a blue-ribbon development council yesterday to advise it on methods of developing its endowment. The action was the second step UK has made in its efforts to raise money for programs not supported by state funds.

The first step came about six months ago, when UK hired Leonard L. Wilson as director of development. Wilson, UK's first full-time specialist in fund raising and development, was named as one of the council's five ex-officio members. In a statement accompanying the list of appointees, UK President John W. Oswald said: "The basic support of an institution such as the University of Kentucky must come from the state and we are deeply encouraged with the growing support from the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

"This is enabling the institution to meet the demands of growing enrollments and the growing demands placed upon it for additional research and service. "The difference between meeting obligations and developing enriched programs, commonly referred to as the "margin of excellence," must come increasingly from the gift dollar. As has been done so effectively by our sister institutions, we must move beyond necessity into enrichment by establishing a development program for the total university." Besides Wilson, ex officio council members are Gov. Edward T. Breathitt, Oswald, Dr.

Glenwood L. Creech, UK vice president for university relations, and Dr. Ralph Angelluci, chairman of the trustees executive committee. Three other trustees were named. They are W.

Miami Beach Ex-Mayor Dies MIAMI BEACH (UPI) Marcie Liber-man, 70, a former mayor of Miami Beach, died Monday night. Liberman, who once said he had reached "the pinochle of success" when he was named mayor in June 1947, served as mayor and a member of the city's governing body until June 1963. "Frankly, some county judges tell me privately that this is one of the biggest boondoggles in the state of Kentucky maybe (the $3.5 million total) is federal money instead of stale money, but who pays for federal money? Gentlemen, it's our money, too. "I am suggesting that this board of trustees be not simply a meet and greet and eat and belch and adjourn board (but) that we take a look at it. Somebody is going to take a look at this situation and suggest a modification.

Why can't it be us?" When Ezelle had finished, trustee Clif ford Smith, Frankfort, replied: "I think you are perhaps overlooking the fact that since Dr. Oswald has been president" UK has been studying the role of extension agents. "There's certainly no area that needs greater study," Oswald told Ezelle, "But your intimation that there has not been study and that this is not an area where we are greatly concerned is not correct." And. Oswald added, UK is attempting to change the setup so that "they are no longer agricultural agents but University of Kentucky agents." on a Okolona Home 8519 Preston Highway Phone 969-1367 and Religions.

The usefulness of county agricultural agents in a state where only 18 per cent of the people live on farms was challenged yesterday by a University of Kentucky trustee. Sam Ezelle, Louisville, called for an independent study of the roles of Kentucky's county agents and their distaff counterparts, the home-demonstraton agents.

His motion died for lack of a second, after UK president John Oswald had said that UK already was implementing the changes and studies that Ezelle had called for. Ezelle is executive secretary of the KniHr-ky His remarks on county agents came as UK officials were reporting on the university's internal budget of $63,771,259 for 1966-67. He noted that the budget includes for county agents and $1,060,558 for home-demonstration agents and said: "Now, I am wondering if it is not time that we review the work done by these county agents and home-demonstration agents and see whether it should not be updated, perhaps trimmed and certainly modified.
