Arnold. Chicago, a former Ncbras-
kan and an outstanding figure in
the field of engineering
The engineers' student commit
tee, headed by John Hutchings,
.senior from Falls City, learned
Saturday that Arnold had filed his
acceptance to appear with W. H
Bixby, another former Nebraskan
who now is in business in Des
Moines and who is serving as
alumni chairman for the forthcom
imr enginering events
The committee hopes to stage as
successful a banquet as was the
19H round-up. The 1914 reunion
was under the direction of Bixby
and Arnold at that time presided
at the banquet as toastmaster,
Bixby, who was in Lincoln last
week, believes that the 1933 ban
quet will be even more successful
than the 1914 function, about
which engineers are still talking,
Arnold, who was granted a de
gree in electrical engineering in
1897 and awarded the honorary
degree of doctor of engineering in
1911, Is one of the foremost con
suiting engineers of the country.
In 1929, the Western Society of
Engineers conferred upon Arnold
the Washington award, presented
ten years previously to Herbert C,
Hoover. Others to receive this cov'
eted distinction are Orville Wright,

Accepting the finance committee's report, members of the
Senate voted Friday afternoon, 17-10, to restore Governor
Hryan's recommended appropriation for the general mainten
ance of the university to the huge biennial budget bill II. II. 51,
despite two bitter attempts to reduce the governor's figures
by Chairman Cnllan, chairman of the senate finance committee.
With little opposition, the senate accepted its finance com
mittee's recommendations as to other university appropriations,
which included: $l:'-,2o0 for agriculture extension; $00,000 for
the division of conservation and survey; $."375.00 for the college
Oof medicine and university hospital
in umana; and $4,000 for repair ot
hail damage loss at North Platte.
Senator Callan, chairman of the
senate finance committee, waged a
bitter fight on the floor of the sen
ate late Friday in an attempt to
reduce the general maintenance
fund of the university from $2,990,
200 to $2,818,000, which he de
clared would amount to only a
twenty percent cut, below the ap
propriation of two years ago. Ad
ministrative forces in the Senate
rallied however to defeat the pro
posal by a bare 16 to 13 vote.
Senators Hawxby and Stewart
led the fight in demanding that the
governor's figures be restored to
the university budget. They were
supported from the floor by Sen
ators P. R. Peterson, Warner and
Srb.
Not Hamper Activities.
In opening the debate upon the
general maintenance item for the
university Chairman Callan de
clared that the reduction would not
seriously hamper the operation of
the school, but would only mean
the elimination of some activities
and professors.
Senator Hawxby, in leading the
fight against Callan's charges,
feared that the fees of the univer
sity might increase, and thus
