Budget Roundup
Sfafe Funds Insufficient To Permif
University Adjustment To Advances
In the last half of his budget breakdown to the
Omaha World Herald, Chancellor Clifford Hardin ex
plained that for six years the University has received
virtually no state funds for adjusting its problems to ad
vances in the educational field.
More than a thirfl of the state-supported budget in
crease is required to meet the needs which Nebraska
has nglected in growth and development, he said.
Some of the areas which need additional work are:
more teachers to serve Increased enrollments in mathe
matics, physics, political science, history, languages, the
biological sciences, business administration, engineering,
pharmacy and Graduate School of Social Work; improve
ment in the University libraries; improvement in the
College of Dentistry and more work on soil and water
studies and mapping in the Division of Conservation and
Survey.
The College of Agriculture is an area that demands
gpecific improvements of its own.
More than one fifth of the proposed total state-support
budget increase is for the College of Medicine, the
School of Nursing and the University Hospital in Omaha.
One half of the total dollar increase is needed to
sustain the present programs, the balance is for growth
and development.
The item with the largest single increase in this
"continuation" section of the medical budget is required
to accomplish a final step in the establishment and ac
creditation of the University's professional four-year de
gree program in nursing.
The professional degree program was inaugurated
several years ago mainly to produce nurses eligible to
teach in nursing school . and eligible to pursue graduate
work leading to qualification as specialists.
Nurses graduated from the so-called three-year hos
pital schools receive their It. N. certificate but are not
eligible to teach or to enter graduate work.
National accreditation is the final step in the develop
ment of the four-year degree program. To receive it, a
four-year program must permit its students and nursing
instructors to devote full time to the instructional pro
gram.
This means that the University Hospital must employ
an additional number of professional and practical nurses
and other people to perform the routine hospital services
previously provided by the student nurses and their in
structors. It is this transition which accounts for much of the
increase in the continuation budget. The balance is mainly
for salary adjustments.
The growth and development portion of the medical
budget would go for improvements in thehospital, in
cluding the strengthening of the department of physical
therapy and hiring of four additional people to work in
the School of Nursing.
The major part of the growth and development budg
et is for a proposed further advance in the scope and
quality of the teaching program in the College of Medi
'cine. An increase in the full-time Instructional staff will
permit shifting more of the responsibility for teaching
both the clinical science areas from part-time volunteers
to the full-time teaching staff.
However, the association of part-time volunteers will
still be important. Many of the volunteers are practicing
physicians in Omaha.
During 1962, Nebraskans paid over $30 million for
beer;- about $40 million for cigarets and bet over $41
million at the race tracks. Chancellor Hardin said that
these figures make it clear that Nebraska has the fi
nancial potential to support 'its University most adequate
ly. Rome of the benefits that Nebraskans receive from
the money spent on the University are:
First they fulfill their obligation to provide in the
state a place for their children to have the opportunity
to obtain a first-rate college education and pursue pro
fessional or graduate study if they choose.
Second, all Nebraska benefits directly or indirectly
from the economic development which the University
stimulates in three ways:
Through the increased earning power which Uni
versity graduates give to Nebraska communities.
Through the University importation of "outside"
money into the state more than $4 million a year comes
into Nebraska to support research and training programs
alone and additional millions come in for University
construction.
Through increases in Nebraska agricultural and in
dustrial output which result from the contributions the
University makes by way of research on new and im
proved crops and consulting services involving agricul
tural and industrial resources and methods.
Third, the access which Nebraskans have to profes
sional services is improved by virtue of the University
because it is through the University that the state gets
a significant proportion of its professional people.
Fourth, the opportunity that Nebraskans have for
self-improvement is increased through the availability of
the University's programs in extension and continuing
education.
And, fifth, the University helps to make Nebraska a
better and more interesting place in which to live.
Nebraskans are now paying an average "per family
cost" of about $13 a year in state support for University
operations. This assumes that the family pays taxes on a
home appraised at $10,000 and pays its full share of state
taxes on personal property, intangibles, cigarets and liq
uor. Farm-owning families pay somewhat more than the
$13 average.
The proposed University operating budget would in
crease this estimated "per family cost" to about $17.35 a
year.

label
THIS is a two-color striped button-down shirt designed and tailored
by Eagle Shirtmakers and sold everywhere by fine men's stores.
Many of them admire our shirts so much they sell them under their
own names. High praise indeed, and we should like to reciprocate by
advertising their (our) shirts. But it's hard to know just where to start.
Obviously we can't say things like "None Genuine Without This Label"
when they are all quite genuine, you know. And it would be silly to say
"Try An Eagle Shirt Today!" when it is likely you already have a draw
erful; even though you didn't know it until just this minute. So ail we
can suggest is that you send in for your Eagle label. Write Eagle
Shirtmakers, Quakertown, Pennsylvania; Attention Miss Afflerbach.
