with other leading institutions,
may have to be so narrowed as
to cause the university to se
riously lower the standards of
the university from a student
point of view as well as from the
point of view of prestige in the
eyes of other institutions.
5. The impression that some
of the curtailment of appropria
tions for the university will have
to be made up from the pockets
of its students, thus limiting the
educational opportunities of stu
dents in poorer financial condi
tion. 6. The belief that damage
done to the institution now, by
way of curtailed appropriations,
will have serious permanent ef
fects on the institution, suffi
cient to arrest its progress and
force it to adopt a retrogressive
trend.
These, of course, are merely
general sentiments selected at ran
dom from the hub-hub of talk
which is going on between classes
and after school hours, but in
larger sense they epitomize the re
action of the grandsons and great
grandsons of those pioneers who
first broke prairie sod in this ter
ritory in order that a great state
might grow here.
Tonight these students will con
gregate in the Temple at 7:15
calmly listen to the problem that
Is confronting the university, and
crystalize the kaledioscoped senti
ments of the campus into a united
opinion.
COMPETITION IN
TOURNEY BEGINS
THIS AFTERNOON
(Continued from Page 1.)
coverers trimmed the Cardinals 18
to 16, and won the Midstate title,
but since then Crete has been com
ing around fast. This afternoon
Columbus plays Ord, and should
topple the Valley county boys.
Lincoln is Favored.
In the lower half of the upper
division, Lincoln appears to stand
the best chance, with Hastings or
Seward slated to reach the semi
finals according to the dope sheet.
Altho the Ballermen have dropped
a number of mixes this winter,
they have played higher caliber
teams than have most of the other
entries, and seem to stand the best
chance of toppling Crete from its
throne.
However, in this lower group
Pilger is to be considered, the
Wayne tourney champs having
won twenty-five games this year
without a single reverse, bewarci
won the York tourney, in which
Grand Island, York, and Fairmont
dinned their colors. Fairmont
trimming the Islanders and then
bowing to Seward in the finals.
The Seward county boys have
Crete on their list of victims, and
have in the leading role, Lloyd
Cardwell, outstanding football and
track competitor.
Fremont probably will have a
big day of it when it runs up
against Curtis Aggies, for the
westerners took the title in
the Southeast conference with
out dropping a decision, and num
bered among its victims was North
Platte, another class A entry,
which lost to the Aggies twice.
Ord Has Conference Crown.
Bayard tied with two other
teams for the western division
championship, while Ord captured
the Loup Valley crown, and then
proceeded to walk off with the
Sargent sectional eliminations.
Fremont high compiled a spotty
record this winter, but in the tour
ney defeated the strong Schuyler
quint, which was favored to win
the meet. Fremont lost to Colum
bus in one of its scraps in the
Midstate race.
Kearney and Chadron are a
couple of teams which appear vir
tually every year in class A ranks
here in Lincoln, and both have
been good tournament teams. In
1930 Tom Elliot s crew went to the
finals with Lincoln, but lost 25 to
16 to the Brownemen.
In class B a number of strong
teams are listed, with DeWitt,
Duncan, Avoca, Swanton and
Stockham Koking the best of the
lot. Swanton looked especially im
pressive in its defeat of Eagle last
Saturday night at Ag college,
when it won by a 45 to 12 score.
Four six-footers are listed in the
Swanton lineup, , and the whole
team lacks plenty' of speed.

SPECIAL COMMITTEE RE
PORT OUTLINES CUTS
, BY COLLEGES.
(Continued from Page 1.),
tance.
Taking into consideration the
condition of the tax payers and
their ability to pay, your commit
tee believes it expedient and prop
er to reduce these salaries some
what more than contemplated by
the governor's budget. These sal
aries have been considered indi
vidually by the committee and it is
only after very careful considera
tion that the committee has con
cluded that the salaries be reduced
to the figures suggested in the
schedule and that these revised
salaries should be acihered to and
remain in force during the coming
bienniuni.
This proposed schedule of sal
aries contemplates a considerable
reduction over the present payroll.
The committee believes that all
salaries exceeding $1,000 per an
num should be cut, and does not
favor any considerable elimination
of positions, so as to maintain the
higher salaries at their present
levels.
In the treatment of the larger
salaries in said schedule, the com
mittee has kept in mind the fact
that the salaries of all state con
stitutional officers, judges and
other officials of the state of Ne
braska will be reduced, and the
committee does not believe that
any employes of the university
should receive salaries in excess of
the more important state officials,
The question of revising these
salaries at a future date should be
determined upon the conditions
hereafter prevailing.
Attached to this report you will
find a copy of the salary list of
the university showing present
salaries and the salaries recom
mended by this committee.
Savings thru Salary Reductions
and Eliminations.
When savings are made by
reason of salary reductions or
elimination of positions or un
necessary activities, the commit
tee wishes to emphasize that the
money thus saved should not be
absorbed by other activities. The
tax payers should get the benefit
of such savings.
All departments and colleges of
the university have been con
sidered separately and your com'
mittee submits herewith under
each separate head its specific
recommendations covering payroll
and any other matters which it
considers entitled to treatment.
General Administration.
The present salary list of this
department is $108,349. The com
mittee recommends a revised sal
ary list of $87,415 which con
templated savings will amount to
$20,934.
College of Arts and Sciences.
The present salary list of this
college is $383,663 and the re
vised payroll as recommended by
the committee is $278,512 which
would effect a savings of $105,151.
The average teaching load in the
arts and science college is ten
hours per week. It is the opinion
of this committee that since heads
of various departments have sug
gested that during this emergency
period, the teaching load can be in
creased to fourteen hours per
week. If this recommendation is
followed, a further saving of at
least $25,000 might be effected by
cutting down the teaching staff.
This reduction has not been in
cluded, however, in the suggested
Duaget ror tnis college.
School of Fine Arts and School
of Music.
The committee recommends a
reduction of the present salary list
from $39,947.00 to $36,260.00
which will effect a savings of
$3,687.00 in this department.
School of Journalism.
The committee is satisfied that
the salaries of $4,430.00 could be
reduced to $3,350.00, this would ef
fect a savings of $1,080.00.
College of Business Administra
tion. The present salary list of this
institution is $60,410 00. This could
be reduced to' $50,575.00. which
would make a saving to the tax
payers of $9,835.00.
Graduate College.
The present salary list of this
school Is $12,128.00 nnd the com
mittee believes that this salary list
should not exceed $9,575.00. There
fore, a reduction of $2,553.00 is
recommended.
It Is the opinion of this commit
tee that fees in the graduate col
lege might bo raised without un
due hardship being worked on
anyone and this department can
bo made self-supporting.
The committee unds that the
majority of people attending this
college are capable of earning sub
stantial salaries and thnt they
should be required to assume tho
cost of their further education.
Teachers College.
The committee believes that the
total salary lint of this institution
should ho reduced from $92,470.00,
the present figure, to $79,215.00
thus proposing a saving of $13,
255.00. College of Engineering.
The present salary list in this
school Is $93,408.00. The commit
tee recommends that this amount
be reduced to $75,076.00. This
would effect a saving of $18,432.00
per year. v
The snlary of the Rural Electri
fication Research Engineer is not
Included in the expense figures of
this college considered by the com
mittee. Rural Electrification is an
experimental project carried on by
the joint staff of the Agricultural
College and the College of Engi
neering. It is a study of equip
ment used on rural electrical lines
and seems to be rather an unnec
essary item at the present time.
The committee hns considered this
matter very carefully and believes
that tho Research Engineer can be
dispensed with.
College Of Agriculture.
The present salary list of this
college is $224,005.00. The pro
posed salary list offered by the
committee is $206,970.00. This
would mean a saving of $17,036.00.
It is the opinion of the committee
that considerable savings even in
addition to the savings revealed by
the above figures can be effected
at the college of agriculture and
yet not impair the activities of the
institution.
College Of Dentistry.
The present salary list of this
college is $31,898.00. The commit
tee sees no reason why this salary
list should exceed $27,765.00, there
by proposing a reduction of $4,
133.00. College Of Pharmacy.
The present salary list is $14,
340.00. The committee proposes a
total salary list of $11,540.00 which
would mean a savings of $2,800.00.
College Of Law.
The present salary list Is $33,
480.00. The committee recommends
a total salary list of $24,605.00
which would effect a savings of
$8,875.00.
College Of Medicine.
The present salary list of this in
stitution is $155,296.00. This com
mittee believes that the total sal
ary list should not exceed $140,
030.00, which would effect a sav
ings of $15,266.00.
The committee visited the col
lege of medicine and the university
hospital, both located in Omaha,
and is of the opinion that it would
not be advisable to curtail the ac
tivities of this department of the
university. The management is
most efficient and economical and
the service that this institution
renders to the state during these
times are of incalculable value.
Physical Plant.
Present salary list is $19,168.00.
The committee recommends a total
salary list of $15,950.00, which
would produce a saving of $3,
218.00 per year in this department.
Agricultural Experiment Stations.
The present salary list is $147,
123 and the committee's proposed
salary list is $127,353, thereby con
templating a saving of $19,770.
In the opinion of this committee
a saving of 50 percent could be
made at all agricultural experi
ment stations with the exception
of Seottsbluff, where we recom
mend a reduction of 25 percent.
The committee also believes that
if tractor testing is continued, that
this activity be made self-support
ing by passing house roll 526 to
increase the fees. No appropria
tion is recommended for this ac
tivity.
Agriculture Extension Work.
The present salary list is $85.-
450. The salary list proposed by
the committee is $69,157, effecting
a contemplated saving or ib,-;9j.
County Agents.
H. R. 306, passed by the house
as a repeal bill is now unner con
sideration In the senate. H H. R.
306 passes as a repeal law, this
entire salary list will be elimin
ated. If it is amended to place The
county agents on the ballot or by
petition, it is the opinion or this
committee that 50 percent of the
counties will discontinue this ac
tlvity. We recommend that the ap
propriation for county agents
salaries be limited to $24,765. This
further cut of $32,625 is not in
cluded in the following:
The present salary list of county
agents is $76,520. The salary list
submitted by the committee is
$57,390.
Library.
The present salary list is $44,-
208. The salary list proposed by
this committee is $29.47ii, contem
plating a saving of $14,736.
The proposed salary scale has
been exceeded in this department.
An additional reduction of $10,000
has been included as it is the
opinion of the committee that this
department be reduced by one
third. General Accounts.
The present salary list is $41,
787 and the salary list proposed

by this commit tee is $29,803 there
by contemplating a saving of $11,

tho additional salary of $600 paid
Coach D. X.' Bible as a director of
athletics.
No allowance has been made for
the $980 paid for swimming pool
attendants as this Is strictly a stu
dent activity.
Commercial Activities.
The present salary list for com
mercial activities is $18,140.
It Is the opinion of this commit
tee that all commercial activities
should be made strictly self sup
porting or discontinued. This in
cludes: Book store, farm cafeteria,
Temple cafeteria, state serum
plant and women dormitories. No
allowance has been made for this
salary list, thereby effecting a sav
ings of $18,140 if this suggestion is
carried out.
Special Activities.
The present salary list in this
department is $17,746 and the
committee recommends that this
be reduced to $14,685, contemplat
ing a savings of $3,061 on these
special activities.
University Extension.
The present salary list for this
department is $19,192. This salary
list could be reduced to $16,450,
and the committee recommends a
reduction of $2,742 per year in this
department.
Service Department.
The present salary list for this
department is $21,642 which the
committee believes can easily be
reduced to $18,215, thereby recom
mending a savings of $3,427.
Married Women.
Inasmuch as the employment of
married women who have hus
bands gainfully employed has been
a live subject of discussion during
the present session of the legisla
ture, this committee considers it
proper to go on record in favoring
the very careful scrutiny of the
payroll of the institution to ascer
tain whether or not changes can
be made by the removal from the
payroll, of married men or women
whose spouses are also employed
and their places given to other
properly qualified persons who are
in greater need of the employment.
It Is the sense of this committee
that all things being equal, prefer
ence in these public positions
should bo given to qiiHlii'ied per
sons who stand in the greatest
need of employment.
Purchasing Department.
II appears to the committee that
all Ilims and individuals should be
given equal opportunity to sell to
the university and that when the
purchasing department is in need
of supplies it should post notices
oi us requirements in certain pub'
lie places, preferably the office of
the purchasing department, which
notice with detailed information
will be accessible to all firms and
Individuals who might be inter
ested. It does not seem necessary
that the purchasing department
advertise for bids. It can effect the
same result by apprising the gen
eral public that these notices will
be posted and then all persons in
terested can keep themselves ac
quainted with the situation. The
committee also believes it would be
advisable that the price paid for
supplies be made available to other
Interested parties who are either
bidders or prospective bidders.
Maintenance.
The amount allowed for mainte
nance during the past biennium
was $1,342,528.05. For the coming
biennium the committee recom
mends an appropriation of $1,192,
528.05, thus contemplating a sav
ing of $150,000.00 for the next two
years. It will be observed that thi3
appropriation means a reduction of
$150,000.00. The decision of the
committee in connection with this
reduction was arrived at only after
the matter was thoroughly dis
cussed with university officials
and said officials informed the
committee that as an emergency
measure a large portion of this re
duction could be made without
crippling the institution. The com
mittee is largely guided in his mat
ter by the expert opinions of the.
university officials.

Officers and Faculty Members of
the University. The Committee is
satisfied that the University of
Nebraska Is being operated and
managed in an efficient manner
and that this institution reflects
credit on the State of Nebraska
nnd Is a University of which every
Nebraska citizen might well be
proud. The committee has ap
proached and carried on its task
of studying the affairs of this in
stitution with the solo desire of
rendering a constructive service to
both the taxpayers of the State
and to the institution.
