Centre President Thomas A. Spragens, in welcoming those attending the Congress, said, "When this noted center (the Regional Arts Center) was made available through the generosity of others, it was meant to serve not just the Centre community but also the region. It was also (made available) in the hope that a college dedicated to liberal learning could have a role to play in increasing the interplay between the liberal arts and the performing arts.

"Nothing could please us more than to have meet within these walls (of the Center) this Congress which does bring together the relationship of the Board Discusses Tax Bill The members of the Danville Library Board of Trustees met Thursday at the library and discussed a bill affecting the various taxing districts.

A Quality College Under President Spragens, Centre also has achieved the ambitions he set out out 20 years ago, that is, "to make Centre the quality college of the region it serves." The quality of the student body, faculty, curriculum, and campus facilities have all been advanced.

Centre, in 1970, was approved for a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa national honorary society and is now one of the 15 smallest of 225 institutions with chapters. Centre had to meet rigorous standards in its educational facilities, faculty and programs to be approved. Also, as another measure, three Centre students have been selected Rhodes Scholars in that highly competitive judging in the last 10 years, the only ones to be chosen from Kentucky in over 30 years. President Thomas A. Spragens is a native of Lebanon and a graduate of the University of Kentucky.

He's been active in Danville and Kentucky civic affairs and has been noted as a respected spokesman for higher education, especially private, liberal arts and sciences education. Kettles Is In Hawaii Bill Kettles, who is with the United States Navy and who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. pay' Kettles of 906 Lebanon Road, is back in Hawaii. Kettles returned to Hawaii following eight months duty on the ship USS Benjamin Stod-dert, a missile ship.

He toured the Philippines, Korea, Japan, Australia and New Zealand. He is a boiler technician. Kettles is a 1970 graduate of Danville High School and will have spent five years in the Navy in January. Twenty years ago today, Thomas A. Spragens became president of Centre College.

Five days after talcing over the helm, a Louisville paper published an interview with the new president which President Spragens outlined what he saw for Centre during the coming years: "I don't expect Centre ever to have a tremendously large enrollment. In 15 years, my ambition is that we will have 700 to 750 students, or nearly double the present enrollment," he was quoted. "But my ambition for Centre is that it be measured by the excellence of its scholastic program, rather than by the size of its student body. In other words, I want to make Centre the quality college of the region it serves." President Spragens' achievement of those goals, and his leadership of Centre during the past 20 years is being marked today on two occasions. Luncheon Held Members of Centre's board of trustees, which is meeting on campus today and tomorrow, held a special luncheon in honor of President Spragens at noon at the Beaumont Inn.

President Spragens 20th anniversary also is being marked with special comments during this afternoon's convocation. During his 20 years as president of Centre College, Thomas A. Spragens has guided the college from an enrollment of about 450 students in 1957 to 780 this year. The number of faculty has more than doubled from 38 his first year to 80 full-time members this year. He has led the college through a major capital building program and fund development campaign, largely culminating in 1969 with the anniversary, of- the college.

Since 1957, three-fourths, of the campus buildings, including all academic and most student residence buildings, have been constructed and most others have been renovated.

(AP) -The Floridian, Louisville's only passenger train, is approaching the end of the line, according to a spokesman for the National Railroad Passenger better known as Amtrak. The rail corporation's staff recommended this week that the Floridan be dropped. The train runs between Chicago and Miami by way of Louisville. The recommendation, which will be voted on by the corporation's directors Wednesday, came after a series of public hearings, including one held in Louisville last month. In addition to testimony in support of the Floridian at last month's hearing, the Louisville Board of Aldermen passed a resolution Wednesday asking for continued Amtrak service.

But the Floridian has been losing money for Amtrak. And the corporation estimates it will save $9 million a year if the service is discontinued Man Killed CALVERT CITY, Ky.
