Tuition Vote
Results Sloiv;
Out Monday
The Daily Nebraskan will be
unable to publish the results of
the all-student tuition vote until
Monday. No ballots have been
counted since all professors have
not returned the ballots filled out
by their nine o'clock classes.
At least 500 students did not
have the opportunity to vote be
cause the ballots were not distri
buted in their nine o'clock
classes. Ballots were handed out
this morning in all classes which
did not receive them last Wed
nesday. The student votes will be the
factor deciding whether there
will be two expansions of the
Union, allowing the installation
of new facilities in two Unions
and continuation of present oper
ations without further drops in
the budget.
If students approve the 50 cents
subscription fee increase, it will
be possible to print the larger
Daily Nebraskan again next year.
While students have been paying
the subscription rate for the small
tabloid paper, they have been
receiving a newspaper with twice
that amount of news, features,
columns and pictures.
