Svanson,
Consider
Clarence Swanson. presi
dent of the Board of Regents,
recently told the Daily Ne
braskan that the possibility of
tuition increases in the next
two years is not great, but
apparently a Lincoln Journal
political reporter disagrees.
Dick Herman, in a recent
Journal news story, said that
the Legislative Council Budg
et Study Committee had met
in January to consider how
the University is going to get
the half-million dollars neces
sary to hire extra faculty so
an unexpectedly large enroll
ment which is anticipated next
year can be accommodated.
This reporter suggested in
his analysis that possibly "a
further boost could be the
University's most reliable re
sponse" to solving its money
problems which constant in
creases in enrollment will
cause.
The Daily Nebraskan was
unable to contact Joseph So
shnik, vice chancellor, Thurs
day afternoon, but Herman

The Nebraska Union Atl

the Union.
The library, which is con

prints from a large range of
modem and traditional artists
for student borrowing free of
charge. Students keep the
prints for the semester or for
the entire academic year.
Cathy Pohlman, chairman

200 to 300 different prints at
the beginning of the year. The

While sorority housemothers

their opinions:
"By the time women are of
senior status I think they
should be responsible for their
hours. Unlimited hours for
senior women may not be
bad but there may be better

Tuition Increase
reported that Soshnik had
said that if a special legisla
tive session is called for some
reason in months ahead. Uni
versity officers would be ex
tremely interested in having
the institution's dollar prob
lem put on the agenda.
Swanson did point out in his
interview with the Daily Ne
braskan that the possibility of
a tuition increase always
exists.
He stressed the idea at that
time that a tuition increase
could be a "last resort" meas
ure used only when other
channels of revenue are ex
hausted. Herman said in his story
that senators had planned to
weigh University money head
aches at their February meet
ing. But Herman pointed out
that the- meeting was can
celed. The Journal reporter ex
plained that there were possi
bly other alternatives than
raising tuition to kolve the
semester because of students
who take a picture for the
year, but there is still a good
selection, she said.
The prints, which are
"mostly oils." Miss Pohlman
said, are framed and are
works of a variety of artists.
She noted there are Reniors.
Utrillos, Goyas, Van Gogns
and Picassos in the collection.
Miss Pohlman said the print
that fs "most often asked for"
is Andrew Wyetb's work,
"Christian's World."
New prints are purchased
from a national organization
in New York City. She said
there are no duplications in

"I am in favor of it. Each

our mature girls, too. I think

Brogden explained that the
University requested that
14th. 16th and 17th streets be
closed in 1956. The proposal
was again made in 1961 and
1965.

Nebraska Tax Commissioner Warns
Students To Report Personal Property
The State Tax Commission
er's office has received many
complaints about University
students not reporting person
al property, according to Wil
liam E. Peters, attorney for
the State Tax Commissioner's
oitice.
He said that any student
holding any type of personal
property should report that
property. This would include
clothing, jewelry, typew riters,
sporting equipment, money in
savings and in checking ac
counts, household goods and
all intangible property includ
ing stocks and bonds.
"The tax people would ap
preciate it if minors would
remind their parents that
they should be including their
children's property when re
porting their own," Peters
said.
He said that students who

A summer of living and

period there, they will divide

three different families for
about a w eek each.
In this manner they gain
the personal ties of living
with a foreign family while
also learning about the coun

The girls were chosen after
interviews in which they were

Housemothers who opposed
the key system didn't feel
their houses would be safe
nor did they think that later
hours are necessary. Their
attitudes were:

vey is underway concerning
the possibility of a northeast

lines of Capital Parkway
which goes through southeast

If the survey, which should
be completed in May, recom

A former Marine corporal,
now a sophomore at the Uni
versity, made a plea at Hyde
Park yesterday that students
"for their own safety" obey
the traffic signals at the corn
er of 14th and S St.
should consult the Lancaster
County Tax Assessor's office
in Lincoln about reporting
their personal property.
In addition, students over
21 may be subject to certain
other taxes, including the
head tax. poll tax and the
Kerr-Mills tax. Peters said.
He said that the enforce
ment of personal property
tax laws has become more
sophisticated and that the tax
commissioner's office could
be used as a clearing agency
for obtaining names of peo
ple that should be reporting
personal property.
Peters added that it would
be quite easy to get a list of
all students "from the Univer
sity and then report them
back to the individual county
assessors.
"In fact, some of the county
assessors have asked us to do
this." Peters said.
If students or their parents
they would present as Amer

the college level, but it has
also developed programs
which allow whole communit

Duane Tappe said one thing
students themselves could do
about the conditions at the
corner would be to start "pay
ing attention to what they
are doing, take it on your ow n

'The other day I saw a girl
almost run over." Tappe said.
He said the coed was crossing
the street about 10:25 a.m.
following a large crowd of stu
dents and that she "tried to
squeeze between" stopped
cars which accelerated about
the same time.
Tappe said one thing the
city could do in the immedi

"definite pedestrian cross

Peters said that it would be
hard to make an estimate of
how much money this would
add to the state tax rolls.
However, he did say that the
S" head tax for persons over
21 would be the largest por
tion of the money added.
"As far as the University
student is concerned, the prin
ciple is more important than
the money involved." Peters
said.
