Student Union Plans
Include New A ddition
By SUSIE SMITHBERGER
Nebraskan Staff Writer
Far-sighted administration
and Student Union personnel
are planning an expansion for
the now mammouth Union, ac
cording to Al Bennett, man
aging director of the Union. It
is planned for about two years
from now.
The director pointed out
that there are two areas of
expansion possible. One is to
build an extension to the east
of the present building. This
would consume the much
needed parking lot now lo
cated there.
"Parking is very important
Union Shows
'Twelve Days'
"On the Twelfth day of
Christmas my true love gave
to me . . ."
The Student Union is now
sporting gala decorations il
lustrating the traditional
twelve days of Christmas.
As one walks into the Union
at the north entrance, he is
greeted by "a partridge in a
pear tree." "Two turtle
doves" fly above the door
carrying a banner wishing
"Happy Holidays."
In the crib are "four call
ing birds' 'and three French
hens" flying on the center
partition. "Five golden
rings" ornament the Pan
American Room. "Seven
swams" gracefully swim
through the main lounge as
"Eight maids" milk in the
cafeteria.
"Ten lords a leaping" frisk
around a "Happy New Year"
greeting at the south en
trance. A concert is played by the
"Eleven Pipers piping" in
the upper hall and the
"Twelve drummers drum
ming" in the basement hall
across from the small audi
torium. The decorating is supple
mented by professional trim
mings in the halls, front desk,
cafeteria and other places
throughout the Union,
A Christmas decorating
party was held last week for
all Union members and work
ers. The Union arts and ex
hibits committee was in
-harge of the decorating.
KNUS To
With New
KNUS, the University radio
station, is planning to expand
its present coverage by t h e
second semester.
"We hope to have anew
transmitter in Selleck Quad
rangle by that time and be
working hard on ways to
reach off-campus houses,"
said Dr. Scheffel Pierce, as
sistant professor of radio and
television.
Because of Federal Com
munications Commission
(FCC) regulations we can not
Lose Bucket, Binoculars?
Check Lost and Found
Anyone lost a lunch bucket? How about an old
Homecoming robe?
John Dzerk, director of the Lost and Found Depart
ment, listed these items among mountains of lost articles
located in 101, Old Administration Building.
The Lost and Found Department, which has been in
existence over 36 years, collects and categorizes articles.
Some of the more unusual items to be found there
include: a teething ring, a 1960 Laurel class ring, a
Kappa Alpha Theta rain hat and a set of binoculars.
Objects left unclaimed are kept for one complete
school year and then given to various Lincoln charity
organizations.
Hundreds of books go' unclaimed In the department
every year. Everything from Builders calendars to his
tory and language books are found. Hundreds of note
books, binders and clipboards are also turned In during
the school year. ,
It Is the policy of the department to call or notify
persons whose names appear in lost articles. In an earli
er report, Dzerk had stated that only about 15 per cent
of all objects collected by the department are ever
claimed.
to our clientele. If there is
no way for our customers to
reach the Union without walk
ing several blocks, they're
going to go someplace else.
We can build ourselves right
out of existance," Bennett
said.
The other possible expansion
area would be to build on
top of the newer of the two
parts of the Union. This would
give two more stories, an ad
ditional 62,000 square feet
floor space.
"The Union is now filled
to capacity most of the time.
It is time to begin thinking
of the future," said Bennett.
Up until this time, there
were plans for the extension
of the Union bakery to in
clude an additional room,
making space for a doughnut
fryer and a more efficient ar
rangement of facilities, said
the director.
University Grad
Gets Fellowship
A 1959 graduate of the Uni
versity, Jack Oruch of Oma
ha, is a recipient of a Disser
tation Fellowship awarded by
the Woodrow Wilson National
Fellowship Foundation.
Nineteen Fellowships were
awarded to former Woodrow
Wilson Fellows who expect to
complete their doctorate in
the Humanities and Social
Sciences in four years or less.
Six to eight years is the pres
ent average.
The awards will provide re
cipients complete-financial in
dependence while they are
completing their doctoral de

Oruch received his Bache

in English. He is attending

University.
$13,000 . . .
Not $31,000
A tvDoeranhical error in
Monday's Daily Nebraskan
storv on the budget of the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences
stated that the nignest paia
professor in the College re
ceived $31,000.
It should have read that the
highest Daid nrofessor re
ceives a salary of $13,000.
Increase Coverage
Quad Transmitters
have a broadcast signal of
over 150 feet, said Dr. Pierce.
If a car downtown picks up
our signal on Its radio, we
are subject to action by the
FCC. Therefore we need to
use less power and still get
more complete coverage. We
have to convert to a different
type of transmission.

Nebraskan Staff Writer
Joseph Soshnik, Vice Chan
cellor in charge of business
and finance, explained the
forthcoming University budg
et in Student Council meeting
yesterday.
Soshnik pointed out, "In
general, the budget for the
next biennium reflects a blue
print and objective for the fu
ture of the University and the
state of Nebraska."
"One of the greatest mis
conceptions about the budget
is that a few men were re
sponsible for its preparation,"
Soshnik said. "However, the
budget was thoroughly built
from the ground up," the
Vice Chancellor said.
Soshnik explained that each
appropriation was reviewed
by the department it falls un
der, then the college, the gen
eral administrative staff of
the University, and finally the
Board of Regents.
Five Million Cut
"During the process of this
screening, more than five
million dollars was slashed
from the final budget re
quest," Soshnik explained.
Continuing, he said, "Many
students are aware of only
the residence instruction func
tion of the University, but the
research and service respon
sibility given the University
by the state constitution,
comprises just as large a
function as classroom teach-
Within this research and
service function falls such
University responsibility as
the agricultural experiment
stations, extension services
and the University hospital in
Omaha, he pointed out.
Soshnik also explained that
the major increases in the
budget were for personal sal
aries rather than tangible
growth of the University.
"More than 80 percent of
the increase will go toward
higher salaries and addition
al staff during the next bien
nium," Soshnik said.
Present Programs
Approximately 5.6 million
dollars of the increase will be
used to continue present pro
grams of the University.
"Only 3.3 million dollars has
been requested for growth
and development, tne vice
Chancellor stated.
Tie also explained that if
the projected budget is
nagged, the resulting increase
in faculty salaries would
bring the University to tne
nveracre salary level of simi
lar institutions throughout the
nation.
The basic reasons for the
31 twt rent increase are due
to the "population explosion"

A new control room has al

the same time a lab Is in ses

more live programs since

room while the other is broad

budget. The new transmitters

Movies' Pal
Gives Talk
To Students
By sue hovik
Nebraskan Staff tyHier
Six-time Academy tAward
winner George Pal poke to
journalism students yesterday
on his profession and hobby
making motion pictures.
Producer of Metro-fifeldwyn-Mayer's
"The Wonderful
World of the Brothers Grimm
which is presently playing in
Omaha, Pal is now planning
two new pictures.
The first, "The Circus of Dr.
Lao," will be released at the
end of this year. The story
concerns a Chinese doctor who
brings a circus to an Arizona
town and changes the life of
the town.
The second picture will be
the Cinerama production of
"The Arabian Nights" which
will be released late in 1964.
Hungarian-born Pal has the
distinction of bringing to the
screen the first story combin
ing a dramatic story with un
usual photographic processes.
He is also the first producer-director
to combine ani
mated puppets with real act
ors, a technique which he uses
in the fairy tale sequences In
"The Wonderful World of
Brothers Grimm."
Inventing "puppetoons," he
first became famous for them
when he used them in short
subjects. He received his first
Academy Award in 1944.
He won his other "Oscars"
for special effects In "Destina
tion Moon," 1950; "When
Worlds Collide," 1951; "Tom
Thumb," 1958, and "The Time
Machine," 1960.
Pal told the students that
he believes that Cinerama will
remain a very specialized
medium which gives the view
ers a cozy feeling and a feel
ing that they are seeing a
special event. He also pointed
out that only certain stories
can be used in Cinerama, it's
more expensive and that be
cause it is especially built
and filmed, it will not become
a mass medium.

University Budget
cerning the accredidation of
the University medical school,
Soshnik quipped, "The med
ical school is not in immedi
ate danger of losing its ac
credidation, certainly not in
the next 90 days.
But with respect to the fu
ture, Soshnik declined to
make a specific answer.
Personnel Costs Up
In general, Soshnik sum
marized the budget by say
ing, "Personnel costs are sky
rocketing, and static costs re
main. Due to this salary con
sideration, the University
budget, of necessity, must be
increased in order to meet
the needs of the students, and
the state," the Vice Chancel
lor concluded.
George Round, Public Re
lations Director of the Uni
versity, in explaining how
University students could use
Soshnik's information to ad
vantage when discussing the
budget with their state sena
tors in the Senators program,
commented, "Just talk to
them about things you know."
Tom Kotouc, chairman of
the Senators program which
will bring state senators into
contact with University stu
dents, said, "We hope that
the senators will be im
pressed by seeing exactly
what the University does and
the caliber of students who
attend.' '
"The aim of this program
is to make the senators aware
of the tremendous influence
the University has throughout
the state," Kotouc concluded.
Accepts Report
In other business, Council
accepted the report of Steve
Christensen, chairman of the
campus opinion committee,
concerning student awareness
of Council.
Seven questions were asked
a randomly selected group of
students. The results of the
poll include: 53 percent of
University students know the
president of Council, 21 per
cent know one representative
from their college, and 66
percent don't want Council to
concern themselves "with na
tional or international issues.
Concerning the controversi
al subject of "Huskie the
Husker," 83 percent of those
polled didn't like Huskie and
wanted him replaced. Of
those wanting a replacement,
24 percent felt the "Corn Cob
Man" would be better, while
76 percent wanted an entirely
different symbol.
In final business, before
Council adjourned for their
annual Christmas party, a
resolution urging students to
be extremely careful while
driving during vacation was
passed unanimously.
J-School Students Investigate
State's 'Hard Sell' Campaign
Seventeen University stu
dents are doing research on
a campaign to "Sell Nebras
ka Hard."
Journalism students are ex
amining d a t a for 230 mem
bers of the Nebraska Press
Association and the Nebraska

and instructors.
Nebraska Can Supply
Europe Withhnports
By BOB RAY
Ag News Editor
The countries of the Euro
pean Economic Community
(EEC) are almost as familiar
to some University faculty
members as the corridors in
Ag Hall.
Two such University teach
ers are Dr. Lloyd Hurlbut,
head of the University tractor
testing station and chairman
of an advisory committee on
European machinery, and Dr.
Everett Peterson, University
ag economist and an exten
sive traveler in Europe.
Since the Common Market
represents 250 million mouths
to feed, says Peterson, and
since they expect to buy over
50 per cent of the world's
surplus coarse grain, wool,
butter and meat, the EEC
forms an ideal market for the
U.S. and for Nebraska.
ETV Plan Goes
Before Governor
Specific steps to develop a
statewide educational televi
sion system will be submitted
tomorrow to the Nebraska
State Committee on Educa
tional Television. The com
mittee will forward its recom
mendations to Gov. Frank
Morrison and in turn to the
1963 legislature.
This expansion program is
a follow up on a Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) ruling Nov. 8 provided
for four very high frequency
(VHF) channels and one
channel of ultra high fre
quency (UHF) in Nebraska.
In the history of FCC this
is the largest allocation of
VHF channels for any single
interest.
Combined with Channel 12
at Lincoln, these additional
channels would have the po
tential of serving 90 of the
state's population.
Moot Court Squad
Looses First Round
The University's team of
law students lost Tuesday
night to Georgetown in the
first round of the 13th annual
national moot court competi
tion sponsored by the New
York Bar Association.
The team is composed of
Clayton Yeutter, William
Hemmer and Fred Kaufman.

readers' potential buying
power and the newspaper ad

Tulane University Heads
Vote To Admit Negroes

paper. It emetrni recnt Integration arttoa icheol efflciala lav Ukn wen.
The board of administrator's of Tulane University
voted on Dec. 2, to admit all qualified students regard
less of race to the undergraduate and graduate schools
beginning in February.
Immediately affected are two Negro women appli
cants whose efforts to enroll at Tulane In September,
1961, led to litigation which related directly to new TU
policy.
In the litigation activities, a Federal District Court
held that Tulane, being a private institution, could 7re
strict Its enrollment to white students. The court said
that the provisions in the Tulane Newcome will, re
stricting enrollment to white students exclusively, -could
not be enforced by any court.
The decision thus gave the Board of administrators
legal permission to admit Negros.
The Arts and Sciences faculty of Tulane passed a
resolution at their Sept. 11 meeting, saying that racial
segregation was doing considerable harm to TU.
Similar resolutions were passed by other colleges in
the university.
Nebraska should be able to
supply the European market
with a good deal of their
feed grains and beef, says
Peterson. "In fact, the U.S.
is now Europe's main source
of feed grains, and their de
mand for meat and poultry
is increasing faster than do
mestic production," Peterson
says. .
Peterson, who got his Ph.D.
at the University of Chicago,
says that the U.S. shouldn't
feel as though we're without
bargaining power. The Euro
pean community needs our
market as much as we need
theirs, he says.
