The University Monday won ap
proval from the Federal Housing
and Home Finance Agency for fi
nancing a $2,000,000 men's dorml
tory project on the Lincoln city
campus.
The agency's action was an
nounced in a telegram to Chan
cellor R. G. Gustavson from Ray
mond M. Foley, administrator of
the FHHFA. The Chancellor re
turned Saturday evening from
Washington where he had sought
to speed negotiations for the fed
eral loan.
The action of the agency
clears the way for the Univer
sity's Dormitory Corporation,
operating with authority from
the Board of Rerents, to pro-
. ceed with construction of three
dormitory units and a dining
hall.
Total cost of the propjoct Is es
timated at $2,100,000. One hun
dred thousand dollars of the total
is for furnishings, an item not in
cluded in the federal loan. W. C.
Harper, director of the Univer
sity's commercial enterprises, said;?
the loan request was for the con
struction only.
The new dormitory units will
house about 670 men. Added to
the University's three existing
units, they will provide accom
modations for 920 men students.
At present about 2,000 rrien
students rent room off the cam
pus. This figure is exclusive" of
those living at home, in fraternity
houses, and in the existing dormi
tory units.
The dining hall which will ad
Join one of the new dormitories,
will accommodate all men living
in the dormitories.
The financing plans approved
by the FHHFA, a branch of the
Federal Security Administration,
call for a. federal loan to the Dor
mitory Corporation. The loan
bears 3.01 per cent interest and
will be retired within a 40-year
period by revenue from dormitory
rentals.
John K. Selleck, University
business manager, said private
loan sources could offer only a 20-year-repayment
period and quoted

said construction bids will be
called as soon as possible, prob
ably within 90 days. It will take
about two years to complete the
buildings. -
The new units will be built in
an area approximately two blocks
long Dy one block wide on. jNortn
Fifteenth Street between U and S
Streets. With the exception of one
lot, the University now owns all
of the land. Title to the unpur
chased lot will be obtained at
once, Selleck said.
When the new units are fin
ished, they will give the Univer
sity a large quadrangle facing
an inner court. The three dor
mitory units built in 1946 and
1947 were constructed to face
the court interior and the new
units will complete the plan.
All three new units will be built
of brick with stone trim. Floors
will be asphalt tile and clothes
closets and dressers will be built-
in. Acoustical ceilings will be used
in the corridors, communal areas,
and in the dining room. Heat and
electrical service will be supplied
by the University's central plant.
The new construction will
provide 335 rooms for student
housing, two men to a room.
The dining hall and kitchen will
be located in a one-story struc
ture with basement and will oc
cupy the central portion of the
quadrangle.
The three new units will be lo
cated as follows:
1. A three-story dormitory, 176
by 42 feet, to accommodate 186
men will run north and south on
the east side of 15th St. The north
end of this building will be near
15th and U Sts.
2. A three-story structure, 180
by 42 feet with the one-story din
ing hall and kitchen space, about
128 feet square, attached on the
east. Entrance to the building
will be at Fifteenth and T Streets.
The first floor will be used for
administrative offices, lounge
space, and quarters for the head
resident. The two upper floors
will be dormitory rooms for 96
men.
3. A large three-story U-shaped
building, accommodating 438 men.
The west leg of the u, bacicea to
15th St., ,will be 155 feet long; the
base of the U, backed to S St.,
and the east leg, running north
and south, each will be 240 feet

Regents Request $20817,838
For Next Two-Yea r Period
An increase of slightly less than
$4,000,000 was included in the
1953-1955 budget submitted by the
University Board of Regents.
The budget asks for a state tax
fund appropriation of $16,356,003
for the two year period.
The total budget requested, in
cluding state taxes, federal funds,
endowments -and estimated fees,
amounts to $20,817,83822 per
cent more than the University had
for its total operation this bien-nium.
The largest single cash income
is expected to come from the
tuition paid by students. This
figure has been estimated at

NU Theatre
To Reserve
Arena Seats
Placement Begins
For Oct. 29 Opening
Reservations for student seating
at the University Theatre produc
tions may now be made in the
box office in Temple building.
With the first performance set for
Oct. 29 students are to make res
ervations for the nights they wish
to attend the Theatre presenta
tions immediately so that seating
facilities may accommodate the
number of ticket holders.
The University Theatre produc
tions will be done this year in the
Arena Theatre instead of a down
town theatre. Because of this,
seating will be limited to 125 peo'
pie per night for eight nights.
There is no guarantee that stu
dents will be able to be seated
at any of the performances with'
out making previous arrange'
ments.
Max Whittaker, professor of
dramatics, said that all tickets
were sold for the three produc
tions to be given this year. They
are: "Outward Bound, by Sutton
Vane; "The Circle," by Somerset
Maugham; and "Ghosts," by Hen
rik Ibsen.
$2,400,000. The other sources of
income and the estimated fig
ures for them are: Federal
funds, $1,656,414: University
endowment, $66,000; vocational
education, $39,420, and Univer
sity Hospital, $300,000.
Chancellor R. G. Gustavson said
the budget requests are an honest
and conscientious effort to solve
the problems of rising costs and a
stronger support for several Uni
versity programs. The programs
that will require the most addi
tional aid are in the fields of
Medicine and Agriculture.
About 60 per cent of the in
crease, he said, will be needed
to provide cost-of-living raises
for University employees and
faculty and money to meet the
Increased costs of supplies.
The new budget would include
a 15 per cent increase for Univer
sity clerical employees and labor
force and an average of 8 per cent
for faculty members.
Gustavson said that supply
costs have risen to the point
where a 17 per cent increase is
demanded for University supplies.
The remaining 40 per cent of
the increase, the Chancellor
said, is accounted for in the in
creased expenses of operating
the Medical and Agricultural
Colleges.'
The budget request includes
items totaling $763,170 to aid in
strengthening the programs of the
School of Nursing and the College
of Medicine. This request for addi
tional funds stems from the fact
that the College of Medicine may
lose its accredited standing with
the American Medical Associa
tion's Committee on Education, if
definite steps are not taken in the
future.
The College of Agriculture re
quest has been made to insure
the fulfillment of a program that
would call for $452,370 over and
above the present day activity.
Two of the principal items in
volved would be increased in
vestigation of livestock diseases
and the study of Nebraska
grasses in the range country.
A sum of $400,339 is requested
to assist the present programs in
the College of Engineering . and
Architecture, Law, Teachers, Arts
and Sciences, Pharmacy, Business
Administration and Dentistry.
