STUDENT JOB STATUS
41 Percent of Registrants
Have lo Positions for
Mext Year.
A survey of the number of stu
dents in attendance at the summer
session who have positions of one
kind or another for the coming
year reveals that 41 percent of
these students will be unemployed
next year. Fifty-nine percent do
have jobs lined up for the coming
year, or diJ have when the survey
was made at the time of legisla
tion. The information was released
Wednesday by Prof. R. D. Moritz,
director of the summer session.
Last summer, a similar survey
indicated that 61 percent of the
registered students were planning
to be emp'oyed while only 39 per
cent were unemployed, showing a
slightly darker state of affairs in
the unemployment condition so far
as this summer's students are con
cerned. The Graduate college stu
dents, as would be expected, show
the smallest percentage of unem
ployment while registrants in the
Teachers college have the lowest
percentage of unemployed among
the undergraduates. The compiled
figures follow:
Teachers: Number enrolled 764; em
ployed, 516; unemployed, 248.
Graduate: Number enrolled, 523; em
ployed, 3H3; unemployed, 130.

Chancellor Burnett
Budget for the
By Chancellor E. A. Burnett.
Frm tfce, Nebraska Ahlmmm) .
The University of Nebraska
budget for 1933-34 which was ap
proved by the regents on June 17
is the final proof of the effect of
legislative retrenchment upon the
university. The new budget is
$666,342.68 smaller than the bud
get for the year just closing. A
similar and perhaps even greater
saving will have to be effected for
the second year of the biennium.
This reduction is caused by re
duced appropriations from tax
money, reduction in federal funds,
and loss of income from student
fees. The total budget amounts
to $2,642,286.81, not including the
budget for agricultural extension
work which cannot be determined
until the amount of federal funds
available for such purpose is
known.
