Budget Raise
On Enrollment
The University has based its
request for a 20 percent increase
in its operating budget in part
on the record increase since
1946 in its student population.
The student population is now
at an all-time high, making the
University of Nebraska's eighth
largest "city." Some decline in
enrollment is anticipated in the
next few years, but it is not ex
pected that enrollment will ever
return to its pre-war average,
The pre-war average was 6,500
students. During the war popu
lation figures lell to a low of
3,036. Due to the enrollment of
vets in 1946, the number of stu
dents jumped to 9,648. The 1947
and 1948 full time student popu
lation numbered 12,012 (Lincoln
and Omaha enrollment.)
This enrollment high made the
University of Nebraska the 12th
largest among all of the 52 land
grant colleges in the United
States. It was 35th among all of
the 1,720 universities and colleges
in the nation.

CLEM
victory over the Missouri
climax to the most exciting
game played here this year. Alter
leading 30-16 at the half, the
Huskers fell- apart and allowed
the Tigers to close the gap. Mis
souri went ahead $3-42 with a
minute left, but Claude Rether
ford tied the count with a charity
toss.
As the Huskers took the ball
out, Retherford dribbled into Ti
ger forward Karl Pierpont and
the referee called a double foul.
Both shots were good, and time
ran out 15 seconds later.
With two minutes gone of the
five-minute overtime period,
Husker Joe Malacek dunked a
free throw to give Nebraska a
45-44 lead. Then Don Stroot,
elongated Missouri center, tipped
in a fielder and the Tigers led
46-45, with two and a half min
utes left. At this point the Mis
sourians began their stall.
THE MISSOURIANS were
fouled six times after this, and
each time they elected to take
the ball out of bounds instead of
shooting their free shots.
Then, with ten seconds remain
ing, Dick Srb went high in the
air to intercept a wild Missouri
pass and dribbled half the length
of the court for his set-up. The
gun went off two seconds later,
and the crowd swarmed onto the
court, raised the flustered Srb to
their shoulders, and carried him
triumphantly to the dressing
room.
During the first half, Nebraska
was back in the form that has
carried them to the top of the
Big Seven conference, but the
