Reliable sources indicate that the
Budget Committee, now through
with its hearings, is going to send
to the Legislature a budget recom
mendation including a substantial
reduction in the University budg
et, according to The Lincoln Star.
The University has requested a
B.5 million dollar increase over
the amount appropriated for the
1955-57 fiscal biennium.
Governor Victor Anderson rec
ommended the University be al
lowed $3,200,000 of that increase,
but reports in the Star from "re
liable sources" indicate the Bud
get Committee has decided to cut
the governor's recommendation by
a "substantial amount."

the Budget Committee, said, when

Budget Committee has made no

Chancellor Hardin, contacted

had "no comment" to make.
"The Budget committee has not

Other members of the Budget
Committee contacted had no state

bers contacted was that any state
ment on the Star article would
have to come from Senator Vogel.
It has been evident throughout
the current session o the Legis
lature that the powerful appropria
tions committee was taking a
thorough look at the budget re
quests of every state agency with
an eye to shaving off as much
money as possible.
The same source that reported
the University budget was to be cut
by a substantial amount also re
ported, according to the Lincoln
Star, that the entire state budget
would be cut from one to two

mended by the Governor.

Tnquote Causes Budget

The controversy and exchange
of words between the Board of
Regents and the Legislature, prin
cipally Regent C. Y. Thompson of
West Point and Senator Terry Car
penter, is the result of a mis
quote in the Lincoln Star.
The Star reported that Regent
Thompson had made this statement
at the Board of Regents meeting
Tuesday. "People want to go some
where the salary does not depend
on the whims of the Legislature."
Senator Carpenter, the next day,
said that he was "concerned and
astounded at such a statement."
The statement actually made by
Regent Thompson was "People
want to go somewhere where the
salary does not depend on the
whims of the weatherman."
When contacted by the Daily
Nebraskan, Regent Thompson
confirmed the misquote and said
"My only contention was that a

week.
The rest of the 5.5. million dol
lar increase would go for fixed
charges, Ag Extension Service, Ex
perimental Stations, Extension
Service, the 40 hour week in Lin
coln and maintenance.
Hardin said he was not "propos
ing anything to keep up with Big
10 schools." In answer to com
mittee questions, he stated "the
University now is considering
adding two hours to the class
day (a committee has since been
appointed to study the feasibility
of conducting classes at 7 a.m.
and at noon). This is in line with
anticipated student enrollment in
creases of 600 to 700 during the
next year."

Jack Pollock, IFC vice-president
and chairman of the rush rules
committee, presented the tentative
1957 Rush Week rules to Council
members. The following additions
have been suggested to the 1956
rules:
1. Except during bona fide
dates or Open House, no fratern
ally member shall communicate
with any rushee other than by
phone.
2. No rushee may have more
than one date per day with the

shall be obligated to fulfill his
first date with each fraternity
with which be has dates regis

ligation will be accepted. An sub

3. No fraternity shall make

4. Violations of any of the

which can be let down one year
and built up the next. The tax
base should be broadened to allow
for ample funds for the Univer

the Legislature was meant or im

formed of the misquote, said "I
presumed that what was said in
the paper was correct. If I had
known that the statement was a
misquote, I would have made no
comment at all."

charging for parking on campus.
When asked if there presently
was a fee for parking on the Uni
versity campus, Hardin answered,
"Yes, we sell the students a hunt
ing license. However, parking is
another one of our problems and
it would be hard to raise any
great revenue from it."
Hardin also stated that raising
tuition by $30 would give the Uni
versity a maximum of approxi
mately a million dollars from tri
tion. He said, "If a raise in tui
tion is going to come the money
gained from it "should be used for
the teaching program adding
to the staff."
The three areas that would be
hardest hit by the cuts proposed
by the governor would be the pro

Both the representative of the

tive of the Daily Nebraskan who
covered the Regents Meeting con
cur that the statement made used
the word weatherman instead of
Legislature.
The statements were made con
cerning the resignations of 37 fac
ulty members at the Regent's
meeting. The comments resulted
from the concern which the Re
gents and the President of the Ne
braska Alumni Association felt
over the situation of faculty salar
ies. The chancellor has asked a gen
eral salary increase of 14 per cent
for present administrative arid aca
demic personnel. This is contained
in a $2.4 million additional re
quest in the proposed budget.
at the second hearing. "With this
cut we wouldn't be able to operate
the hospital in all its wards."
Hardin also told the senators
that the proposed two million dol
lar increase in salaries is conserva
tive. "The competition from other
institutions is greater than we
thought. We should really have
more to compete with them on
their own level."
A twenty per cent turnover in
University faculty, double the
usual rate, was attributed by
Hardin to be due in part to lack of
sufficient salary.
He has consistently pointed out
that the University must compete
for its instructors not only with
other universities, but also with
the field of industry.
Hardin pointed out Wednesday
that the three men quitting in the
geology department at the Univer
sity are from 27 to 42 years of
age, "the group we would hope to
build on."

Four Proposals:
Council
Dehotes
ParlunQ
Dave Keene, student representa
tive on the newly appointed com
mittee which is studying the Uni
versity parking problem, read four
suggestions from the committee
to the Student Council, Wednesday.
The following possible solutions
were offered to the Council for
discussion by Keene:
1. Keene stated that the cards
students fill out lack some es
sential information and posed the
question of whether the Student
Council should help revamp them.
2. The possibility of restricting
parking was listed as a topic for
discussion by the committee,
Keene said.
3. The committee, according to
Keene, discussed the possibility of
prohibiting freshmen and sopho
mores from parking during the
rush hours. He stated, however,
that the committee was in doubt
as to bow many cars this would
eliminate.
Council president, Bruce Brug
mann, stated that at the Big-T
Student Council Conference sever
al schools had initiated this plan
and stated that it didn't work.
3. Keene mentioned the neces
sity of publicizing the fact that
many of the University parking
lots are not filled during the busi
est hours. The committee was also
distressed, Keene said, over the
tact tnat some students are taking
their fathers to work and then us
ing the University facilities to park
for only a dollar a semester as
opposed to downtown parking rates
of almost $15 per month.
Harry Dingman, chairman of the
general election, stated that 40
Student Council applications have
been taken out at the office of
student affairs.
The possibility of the Council
purchasing some 125 "Student
Chevrons" was discussed by Mon
roe Usher. A straw vote indicated
almost unanimous opposition to
such a plaa.
