BOARD OF REGENTS
OUTLINES DRASTIC
ECONOMY PROGRAM
(Continued from Page 1).
stations" aT North Platte, Valen
tine and Scottsbluff.
Closing of two wards in the uni
versity hospital at Omaha and the
reduction of the number of pa
tients available for clinical obser
vation. Elimination at the college of
medicine at Omaha of between
1,000 and 1.200 free dispensary
visits a month and reduction of
time the dispensary will be open
for service.
In preparing this budget the uni
versity regents kept in mind that
the Institution has a financial rep
utation to maintain for the pay
ment of its obligations and that it
has never shown a deficit They
pointed out that the total revenue
has been decreased 25 percent and
that maintenance items were re
duced an even greater amount to
protect th salary scale. It was still
necessary to reduce salaries 22
percent. The budget for agricul
tural extension work was not ap
proved Saturday due to uncer
tainty as to the amount of federal
money that will be available.
Spread Reduction Equitably.
In making up the budget, ac
cording to the regents, it was de
cided that the cut made necessary
by the last legislature should be
spread equitably over au univer
sity activities and affect the en
tire university plan from the med
ical college at Omaha to the ex
perimental substations at Valen
tine and Scottsbluff.
Combined with the reduction in
student registration the board re
quired every member of the staff
to carry a full teaching load, and
was able to eliminate several mem
bers of the teaching staff. The
sharp reduction in money available
tor upkeep also permitted them to
discontinue a coiTcsponuinj num
ber of positions in the operating
department.
The salary cut that will go into
effect Sept. 1 will be among the
most severe suffered by any of th
major universities, declared uni
versity officials. The cut of 22
percent over that of a year ajo
wilj bring the salary level down to
tl.t in effect many years ago.
During the current year a reduc
tion cf 10 percent with a J 1,00 3
exemption has been in effect. No
salaries under $503 have been cut
and those below $1,500 have been
readjusted on a replacement basis.
Salary Cuts Affect 800.
The salary reduction will effect
an estimated saving of $373,493.33
per year and will affect about 800
people. The force of this reduction
was pointedly shewn by university
officials who illustrated that in the
case of a full professor who drew
the average salary of $4,301 in
1931-32, he would draw next year
$3,354.78, or about the average
salary paid a professor in 1919. An
instructor who was paid the aver
age salary of $2,161 in 1931-32,
will receive a salary of $1,685 58,
or the average salary paid an in
structor in the biennium of 1917-19.
It was decided to abolish the
schl of fine arts and to create a
department of fine arts and a de
partment of co:sch and dramatic
art within "the college of arts "and
sciences. Prof. Dwlght Kirsch, who
has been chairman of the commit
tee on administration of the school,
becomes chairman of the depart
ment of fine arts and Miss H. Alice
Howell becomes chairman of the
speech department. The work
formerly offered in dramatic litera
ture will be offered by the English
department.
The passing of the school of fine
arts removes the oldest of the
existing collegiate schools at the
university. The school was started
in 189S and was reorganized in
jl912. The school of music, for
merly a part oi tne scnooi or line
arts, now stands as a separate
collegiate school, on a par with the
school of journalism and the school
of nursing. Prof. Howard Kirk
pat rick will continue as director of
the school of music.
Many Positions Eliminated.
No detailed announcement of the
positions eliminated was made by
the regents. Forty-six major posi
tions and twenty-six minor posi
tions have been eliminated and
twoh positions vacated by death
have not been filled. A few full
time positions were made part
time positions. This reorganization
will save $102,370.02 a year, ac
cording to university authorities.
Decreasing revenue made it nec
essary for the regents to eliminate
the 100 tuition scholarships that
have been offered for several
years, to eliminate the law schol
arships that have been given to
about 20 percent of the student
body of the college of law, to abol
ish the five $400 research fellow
ships offered in the graduate col
lege, and to reduce by about 25
percent the number of graduate
assistantships. Next year there
will be about 100 of these assist
antships as compared with the 133
for this year. The 150 regents'
scholarships for high school sen
iors were not disturbed.
In considering revenue, the re
gents decided not to increase stu
dent fees altho the fe?s now
charged at the University of Ne
braska are lower than at any com
parable school.
No Building Expenditure.
Other economy Items set forth
in the budget include the fact that
there will be no building expendi
tures during the next year other
than for minor and necessary re
pairs, severe reductions in the
maintenance items, and a reduc
tion in the maximum hourly rate
of student help as readers.
The agricultural substalions, In
cluding those at North Platte,
Scottsbluff, and Valentine, were
given a reduction of 25 percent,
as was the Nebraska school of
agriculture at Curtis. Retrench
ment in the amount of experi
mental and instructional work of
the college of agriculture will be
made, according to the regents.
They point out that some uncer
tainty exists in the agricultural
budget because of tha lack of defi
nite figures as to available federal
money.
At Omaha it has been found
nece33ary to close two of the
eleven wards in the university hos
pital and to eliminate between
1,000 and 1,200 free dispensary
visits & month. This will close the
dispensary in the evenings. An
average of 3,500 dispensary visits
a month have been made during
this year by the college of medi
cine. Take Over Coliseum Bonds.
The regents found it necessary
to provide for certain overhead
charges against the university that
have normally been cared for out
Bide the budget. These include the
payment of bonds on the coliseum
that are maturing and that will
amount in the next biennium to
$40,000 with interest Due to the
tremendous falling off cf receipts
from athletic events, the athletic
association cannot take up these !
bonds at the present time, and in '
order to maintain the financial in- j
tegrity of the university it was :
considered necessary that the uni- I
versity take over these bonds by
assignment from, the owners and i

hold" tfiemT until the athletic asso
ciation is able to pay them. ;
The coliseum was built largely
from surplus athletic funds, but
was bonded for $200,000 in the ex
pectation that the earnings of the
athletic association would pay
these bonds as they became due.,
Of these bonds $120,000 are still,
unpaid; $20,000 of that amount,1
which matured last October has
not yet been paid, and $40,000 of
the $120,000 will mature during
the next biennium.
The regents took into considera
tion that the athletic association
has paid toward the stadium out
of athletic profits $90,424.29 and
toward the coliseum $191,813.93.
It is hoped that receipts from
athletic sources will increase as
times Improve, and that they will
soon be able to care for these obli
gations as they mature. In tha
meantime, however, the regents
pne that the bonds are ruaran-
tecd by the university and must
not be permitted to default.
TWO TRACK MEN PLACE

Educational Change
He who ne're learns his A, B, C,
Forever will a wocKneaa do;
But he who to his book's Inclin'd,
Will foon a golden Treafure find.
Thus was the Boston school boy
of 1785, In days before printers
invented the lower-case "a" to re
lieve "f" of double duty, threatened
and cajoled towards diligence in
his studies.
And when now 6 year old Betty
learns that
Nan likes to play.
She likes to play in the yard.
She likes to play in the leaves;
and that
The Brownie was hiding in the
leaves;
The Brownie saw Nan;
He jumped into a nut,
Boston's Puritan Priscilla strug
gled to master the great truth
that
Whales in the Sea,
GOD'S Voice Obey;
and that
Xerxes the great did die
And fo muft you and I.
This is the story of a century
and a half of educational change,
told in contrast by a facsimilie
copy of the New-England Primer,
printed in Boston in 1785, on dis
play at the Nebraska Bookmen's
exhibit in Grant Memorial hall this
week and next and the many mod
ern text books now being shown.
Nor is it only in reading that
the subjects foremost in the
minds of book writers and school
children of the eighteenth and of
the twentieth centuries have
changed. Arithmetic, too, bears
witness to social evolution.
Today children learn to add and
subtracted by dealing in hypothet
ical apples and pies. An old arith
