Hit ocrease terif afi vely Approved By GEORGE MOYER Copy Editor The Legislative Budget Commit tee has tentatively recommended a $2.2 million increase in the Uni versity budget for the fiscal bi- ennium, 1957-59. Informed sources, who declined to be quoted by name, said the committee voted, five to two to cut $3.3 million off the $5.5 million tax increase sought by the .University, according to the Lincoln Journal. The tentative increase, which could be changed on the floor of the Legislature, represents a cut of one million dillars In the amount recommended by Governor Victor Anderson. Chancellor Clifford Hardin said Saturday "The Budget Committee has not given us a report as to any ' actions they have taken on the University budget. If the in formal reports are true, the situa tion is so serious that I do not wish to eomment further until I have had an opportunity to meet with the Board of Regents." Earlier, Hardin had told, the Budget Committee that the three areas that would be hardest hit by the cuts in the proposed increase would be the program to add to the faculty, the medical college hospital and agricultural extension and experimentation. Governor Anderson stated Sat urday, "I haven't studied it (the proposed cut). The chairman (Sen ator Karl Vogel) said they have made a complete study of the budget with facts and figures and as yet they have not released it to me." ' v When asked if the cut would in jure the University faculty pro gram, Anderson answered, "That depends on where they have made the cuts. I cannot say anything until I have seen the committee's recommend ations . " Vogel, in a statement quoted in the Omaha World Herald, said of the cut, "It will allow the Univer sity to continue to maintain essen tial services."
