J-Studeiits
Awarded
Gold Keys
High First Year
Averages Honored
Gold Keys went to six top
students of the School of
Journalism yesterday.
Charles Coffin, Del Hood,
Mary Apking, Barbara Bark
er, Patty Foster and John
Holt received the Journal-Star
keys. The keys are awarded
annually to the six students
who compile the best average
in their first year in the
School of Journalism.
Neale Copple, city editor of
the Lincoln Journal, made
the presentations at the third
annual J-School Christmas
party held in the Journalism
Office in Burnett.
Coffin earned a 7.813 aver
age last year; Miss Apking,
a 6.816 record; Miss Barker,
a 6.8 average; and Miss Fos
ter, a G.529 average. They
are all sophomores.
Hood, a graduate of Has
tings College, made a 7.000
average in his first year at
the University. ' Holt, a sen
ior, recorded 6.438.
Special recognition was
made of Marilyn Coffey, who
would have received one of
the keys next year. Miss Cof
efy, a senior, has been en
rolled in the J-School only
one semester and therefore
will graduate before having
completed the full year nec
essary for award.

Internships Set
Four Internships are avail
able to outstanding graduate
students for the academic
year 1959-60 in conjunction
with the school of journalism
, at the State University of
Iowa.
, Two of these public infor
mation internships offer gen
eral experience in educational
public relations with the News
and Information Service, one
offers specialized work in
sports publicity and one pro
vides experience in mazazine
writing and layout.
Public information interns
receive stipends of $145 per
month. Interested students
may write James Jordan, Di

of such a steering committee
in a letter to Rogge.
The registrar's plan for
alphabetical registration to
replace the present system of
registration according to ac
cumulated hours has been
criticized by many students.
"Perhaps 1 might be an ex
officio ad hoc member of the
steering committee," Dr.
Hoover's letter read.
"Since 1 have had some ex
perience with registration, I
know some-of the weak spots.
This knowledge might be use
ful in planning the attack,"
the letter continued.
"I have no wish to serve
as an adviser, but only as an
ex-officio raembe r," Dr.
Hoover added.
'Will Accept'
"I think the Student Coun
cil would be most willing to
accept him in such a capac
ity," Rogge commented.
"This committee Mill be
concerned not only with just
one aspect of registration but
with all parts of the regis
tration program," said Rogge.
"Every phase should be
studied as much as the time
available will allow."
The Council plans to study
the new registration proce
dure at first hand by having
two or three of its members
present during the days that
the alphabetical system is in
progress.
Possible umiDination
"Maybe students will like
some parts of the new pro
gram ; then the best parts, of
both the old and new systems
could be combined, com
mented the Council president.
"As the tentative plan now
stands," Rogge explained, "at
least two and possibly three
Student Council members will
be present on the registration
floor at all times."
"Then, the steering com
mittee can combine results
from these Council members
and make recommendations
to the Council on future reg
istration procedure," Rogge
said.
The committee will begin
operation immediately.
Senior Pictures

Well, Shroeder, you've
done it. Your idol is now a
campus hero, worthy of

Your long, untiring cam

your dauntless enthusiasm
for Ludwig (despite Lucy's
stupid blunder in nomen

trick.
Dec. 16 is a day that will
long be remembered. Even

Dr. Burgi
Audio Program Strengthened
By John Schroeder
The University is
strengthening its program
for the hard of hearing
Dr. Ernest Burgi, a for
mer staff member, has re
turned to the University this
year from Bowling Green
State University, Bowling
Green, O.
National Trend
Dr. Burgi was brought to
the University to strengthen
the program in audiology
and help to bring the Uni
versity's program more in
to line with the national
trend toward increased em
phasis in providing services
for the hard of hearing.
Although Burgl's primary
responsibilities are in the
field of audiology, he wi'l
also do Rome work In the

Expansion Budget
May be Fought
More legislative resistance will be given to the expan
sion budget than to the continuation budget, Dr. Joseph
Soshnik, University comptroller, indicated yesterday.
Both budgets will be closely scrutinized, said the comp
troller, but there will "probably be more resistance to any
thing of an expansion nature." .
'Justification' Needed
"Both Governor Anderson and Governor-elect Brooks
have indicated that expansion of service is something that
has to be fully justified," Dr. Soshnik commented.
"And we can justify these programs," he emphasized.
The expansion budget recommended to the Governor
by the University is designed to enlarge and strengthen
existing programs as well as to provide new programs.
The largest item in this budget is the $796,500 to be
allotted to the Agircultural Experiment Station.
" Proposed is a Sandhills Experiment Station in the Nio
brara Division of the Nebraska National Forest.
Fite Land Use
The U.S. Forest Service will make available at no cost
10,000 acres of sandhills range land for research work.
About $190,000 will be required to develop and operate the
station in the next biennium.
"Priorities will be assigned'' when the legislature ap
propriates money for the two budgets, "and I think higher
priority will go to the continuation budget," commented Dr.
Soshnik.
Nearly all of the continuation budget increase will be
required for salary increases for University personnel
both academic and non-academic. This increase would
serve largely to reduce the difference between the salaries
of the University faculty and the national average for
faculties of comparable institutions.

picked from each of the fol
lowing groups: graduate stu
cents, married students,
commuter students, interna
tional students, affiliated
women, affiliated men, resi
dence halls for men, resi
dence halls for women, inde
pendent men and independ
ent women.
Interviews will be held to
fill the 10 cabinet positions
after Christmas vacation.
Miss Terry Mitchem, Union
vice president, said.
The Cabinet will meet with
the present Union Activities
Committee and will advise
the committee on matters
concerning budget and pro
gramming. Miss Mitchem, chairman of
the committee which drew
up plans for the advisory
Cabinet, explained the rea
sons for the new groups.
All Greek
"The Activities Board is all
greek, and is predominantly
women. Some of every stu
dent's money is spent on op
erating the Student Union Ac
tivities fund and we feel that
they should all have a voice
in how the money is spent."
Cabinet members will have
at least junior standing and
will be interviewed and se
lected by the city campus
Student Union Activities
Committee.
The Activities committee
consists of eight students, so
the 10 - member advisory
board could outvote the com
mittee, Miss Mitchem ssid.
However, she added, the Ad
visory cabinet will have a
vote only on matters pertain
ing to programming and
budget.
Duties of Cabinet members
as outlined in the newly ac
cepted constitution are:
"The City Campus Studen
Union Activities Committee
and Student Union Advisory
Cabinet shall jointly plan and
adopt the annual City Campus
Student Union activities pro
gram. A member of the Ad
visory Cabinet may at any
time submit program sug
gestions for the consideration
of both groups.
"Both the City Campus
Student Union Activities Com
mittee and the Student Un
ion Advisory Cabinet shall
vote on proposals for pro
gramming. Members of both
bodies shall have equal vot
ing privileges on matters per
taining to Student Union pro
gramming and program
budgeting."
Cabinet members 'will
serve one-year terms and
may not re-apply for a sec
ond term.
Either Greek or Independent
The representative for the
commuters could be either a
Greek or an independent,
Miss Mitchem said. The same
is true for the representatives
of the residence halls. Rep
resentatives of independent
men and women could coma
from dorms, co-ops or be Lin
coln residents.
Members of the Advisory
Cabinet will not necessarily
be persons who have worked
up through Union committees
as are members of the Union '
Activities committee.
"Members of the Advisory
Cabinet may serve on a Stu
dent Union Committee as a
worker, but may not be mem
bers of the Board of Man
agers at the same time they
are members of the Advis
ory Cabinets, and may not
hold any other Student Union
position such as Chairman or
Assistant Chairman of a com
mittee," the constitution stip
ulates. Members of the committee
which drew up the constitu
tion are Miss Mitchem, chair
man, Jon Bicha, Sally Downs,
Miss Mary Mulvaney, assist
ant professor of physical ed
ucation and Arnold Magnu
son, members of the Board
of Managers.
