to instruct the veterans than it is
receiving from the Veterans' ad
ministration. Veterans are entitled to $500
a year for tuition fees, books, un
der the GI Bill of Rights. The
veteran does not receive this
money, but signs a credit which
the university subsequently col
lects from the Veterans' admin
istration. If tuition and fees do
not amount to $500 the balance
reverts to the federal government,
not the veteran.

$200 a year, plus $50 a year for
fees, supplies and books. On the
basis of the present enrollment,
the university estimates instruc
tional costs at $300 per student
per year, according to Mr. Sel
leck. Cost Same.
Mr. Selleck points out that the
cost of instruction for veterans
and civilian students is the same.
The current university budget
provides for an instructional sum
of $300 per student per year
which is derived from student
fees and tax funds. The number
of veterans enrolling at the uni
versity this year will be in excess
of this budget provision. This
means more will be paid out for
instruction than is received.
Veterans enrollment at Ne
braska now stands at about 2,200
and next fall is expected to reach
the 5,000 mark. "This means the
university will be faced with an
additional instructional load of
2,800, costing $100 per veteran or
$280,000 for the 1946-47 school
year. There is no budget provision
to meet this cost. Emergency re
serve funds are insufficient," Mr.
Selleck said.
