NU Budget Cuts
Hamper Objectives
By VERL HATCH
Five million, 66 thousand
dollars is allocated to the Uni
versity of Nebraska, but final
word on the University Bud
get indicates that seme im
portant objectives cannot be
accomplished because of bud
get cuts; at the same time,
many new facilities are on
the way.
Among the things to be ac-
comphshed are: salary in
creases, a new music build
ing, Dental College equipment,
hospital, and building remo
deling. One million five hundred
thousand dollars is for a Mus
ic Building and equipment.
Two million five hundred
thousand dollars for the
state's share on a University
Hospital in Omaha and equip
ment. Three hundred thousand dol
lars for major repairs and
remodeling.
One million, three hundred
thirty-three thousand dollars
for Ag campus outstate pro
jects: Head laboratory, $183 thou
sand, $100 thousand for two 2
nome - management houses,
$100,000 for powerplant addi
tion, $100,000 for repairs, and
$650,000 dollars for a husban
dry laboratory, according to
George S. Round, Public Re
lations Director at the Uni
versity of Nebraska.
The new budget will not al
low for industrial leadership
and will limit opportunities
for young people in that field,
he said.
The $lt000,900 cut from the
budget will hamper Agricul
ture projects in outstate lo
cations, he said. These Agri
culture projects have in the
past, been an excellent in

"The reason that we don't

Summer Nebraskan
Nebraska Network Planned
By JIM RISSER
All Nebraska citizens will
eventually be able to re
ceive educational, informa
tional and cultural television
programs as a result of the
passage of L B 666 and L B
667, according to Jack Mc
Bride, general manager of
KUON-TV.
The statewide network will
provide generally instruction
al viewing in the morning
and early afternoon, and will
switch to out-of-school pro
gramming in the late after
noon and evening hours, Mc
Bride said.
In assessing the changes
which the recent legislation
will bring, McBride said that
schools all over Nebraska
will have the opportunity to
receive instructional p r o
grams now seen by 33 schools
in the state through the Ne
braska Council on Education
al Television.
"Elementary and secondary
teachers across the state can
receive in-service instruction
produced by the State De
partment of Education and
the University Teachers Col
lege," McBride said. The in
structors will view the pro -

Peace Corps Director, R.
Sargent Shriver, Jr., will
speak to NU students and
faculty and Lincoln citizens
Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m.
in the Student Union ball
room. Shriver, who formulated the
initial plans for the Corps and
has served as its director
since its birth two years ago,
will speak on "The Peace
Corps at Work Around the
World," Dr. Frank E. Soren
son, Summer Sessions Direc
tor, said.
Chancellor Clifford M. Har
din will introduce Shriver, the
recipient of 12 honorary de
grees. Following the convocation
Shriver will visit informally
with the students.
Dr. Sorenson anticipates an
overflow at the convocation
although about 700 chairs will
be set up. "I urge students
and faculty to get there at
1:45 because interested citi
zens are invited too," he said.

grams in their own schools
after the students have gone
home.
"The Agricultureal Exten
sion Service will have a pow
erful means of dissemination
of new information," he said.
Programming Changes
Same changes in the 'pro
gramming now transmitted
by KUON-TV will result, Mc
Bride said. He explained that
other schools and colleges in
the state are expected to sup
ply some programs to the
network.
Some changes will be
brought about by the fact
that programs for the net
work are to be viewed by the
whole state. McBride said,
whereas in the past, many
local matters.
Although the bills did not
carry the emergency clause
and will not take effect until
90 days after the Legislature
adjourns, McBride empha
sized that much of the
groundwork can be laid be
fore that time.
The Nebraska Educational
Television Commission, set
up by LB 667, must deter
'mine the priorities of setting
ka's Unicameral Legislat
ure. The observer, looking
down from the galleries
may ask:
"Who is the majority
leader?"
"Who is the m i n o r i t y
leader?"
"Where are the party
whips?"
The reply to all of these
questions is the same
"There are none."
When questions about
leadership were put to the
68 senators who participat
ed in this survey, their an
swers were considerably
more complete and in many
instances considerably more
controversial.
"The non-partisan uni
cameral system develops
better leaders than any oth
er system," many said.
"There are 43 leaders, or,
maybe no leaders at all,"
Said those who disagreed
and often with consider
able vehemence.
The question on, leader
ship and its development in
the one-house non-partisan
system brought the widest
variety of opinions of any of
the issues discussed by the
senators, with one possible
exception. That exception
was non-partisanship, which
itself was closely attached
to the leadership problem
by practically every coop
erating senator. They could
not agree on what kind of
leadership should be devel
oped, and while many of
them generally favored al
rnott every aspect of Ne
uFSoay
in-law of President Kennedy
at the airport, Vice Chancel
lor Adam C. Breckenridge
and Dr. Sorenson will take
Shriver to the Nebraska Cen
ter for Continuing Education.
Shriver will meet the press
there. He will tour the Center
which will house 35 Peace
Corps trainees in August.
Governor Frank Morrison
will make Shriver an Admiral
in the Great Navy of the State
of Nebraska at a 12:30 faculty
luncheon, Dr. Sorenson said.
At the 3:30 interview Shri
ver w i 1 1 cut a tape at
KUON-TV, the University's
educational television broad
casting station. The perma
nent tape will probably be
available to stations through
out the state, according to Dr.
Sorenson.
Mr. Shriver has emphasized
that the purpose of the Peace
Corps is not to propagandize
and proselytize, or to carry
the "white man's 'burden,"
and that its volunteers would
not be "agents of the cold
war or colonialism." As Shri
ver sees it, the purpose is,
"to permit American to parti
cipate directly, personally,
and effectively in this strug
gle for human dignity."

up the seven stations which
will serve the state, McBride
said.
A published report, pre
pared by the Nebraska State
Committee on Educational
Television, of which McBride
was co-chairman, Tecom
mends that the first step ba
the construction of a 1,000
foot transmitting tower near
Mead. KUON-TV will trans
mit from the new facility,
and will alone provide educa
tional television to over 50
of Nebraska's population.
The Channel 12 station will
cooperate with the existing
instructional facilities at the
University of Omaha, Mc
Bride said. The Legislature
added a UHF (ultra high fre
quency) station at Omaha to
the plan proposed by the
Committee, and the Commis
sion will have to determine
the priority of establishing
that station.
Tasks to Face
Other tasks which the Com
mission will have to face are

lature, they indicated res
ervations in the area of
leadership.
THE STATISTICS of their
replies give an incomplete
picture, but they provide a
starting point.
Of the 59 senators who
commented specifically on
leadership, 37 felt it had de
veloped as well or better
under non-partisanship.
Leadership Question
Seventeen said the non
partisan Unicameral Legis
lature had definitely not
developed leadership
as well as the bicameral
system. Five felt the type
of system made no differ
ence. However, a closer exam
ination of the 37 who
seemed to favor the non
partisan development
showed that their backing
was not as strong as the
statistics indicated. Ten of
these 37 believed that lead
ership developed only as
well as but not better
than under non-partisanship.
This left 27, a minor
ity of the total responding,
who considered non-partisan
ship the most fertile ground
for the nurture of leader
ship. As the opinions of these
veteran legislators were ex
amined, it became obvious
they were talking about
several kinds of leadership.
To some, the development
