By Jan Itkin
Senior Staff Writer
The administration would
like nothing better than hav
ing the state Legislature
meet to appropriate funds to
the University so that an in
crease in student fees will
not be necessary for next
year, Chancellor Clifford Har
din told Student Senate Turs

the Senate that although the
proposed fee is to be tempor
ary, it is "possible" that the
$40 a year raise might be
permanent.
The special meeting was
called to publicly discuss the
proposed tuition increase and
report on the information
gathered by the ASUN com
mittee investigating the pro
posed tuition increase. Both

"But, he continued, "I can't
leave without saying we can

"We can be the party of

Advisory Committee To Reconsider
Approved Lincoln Job Corps Center
A proposed Job Corps Cen
ter at the Lincoln Air Force
Base will be reconsidered by
the advisory committee of the
Lincoln Opportunity Team in
the light of new information,
according to Lincoln Mayor
Dean Petersen.
J. O. Grantham, of North
ern Natural Gas Co. and the
director of the proposed cen
ter, reported to the advisory
committee Wednesday that
the federal Office of Econo
mic Opportunity (OEO) has
officially approved the urban
Job Corps program sub
mitted by Northern and the
University.
He noted further that the
federal government is "will-,
ing to put an urban Job Corps
center in Lincoln."
The main problem yet to be
solved is the space to be used
for the center in relation to
space needed for other city
commercial uses.
Advisory committee mem
bers indicated that this con
flict of uses was one of the
ty members" and that as a
result, "the University now
finds itself in a 'half-million
dollar problem', according to
Hardin who was quoted in
the Feb. 10, 1966, Lincoln
Journal.
"This half-million dollar
problem occurred even though
University officials realized
that a problem could result
from their underestimation of
faculty needs which they op
enly acknowledged at the
time of the budget hearings,"
the report continues.
and understatements were all
tools Capp used in answering
the questions which were writ
ten to him by the audience
before he appeared on stage.
Free love, Viet Nam, birth
control, Allen Ginsberg, Tru
man and Eisenhower, books,
movie stars, civil rights,
demonstrations all were in
cluded in his short funny or
cynical comments.
Some of Capp's comments,
descriptions, jokes or under
statements in answer to ques
tions written beforehand by
the audience were:
On free love: "The price
is right."
Opinions of 18 year-old-college
students: They are im
portant when the students are
talking about "puberty or hub
caps." Allen Ginsberg: Some peo
ple deplore him because he is
unbathed, unhousebroken, un
American and now "I deplore
him simply because he is un
talented and has no right to
be the other things.
Teenagers in England:
"Just as revolting as they are
here, no difference."
main reasons for the advisory
committee voting to recom
mend that the Northern pro
posal for the Job Corps cen
ter at the Base be withdrawn.
Talks with OEO officials in
dicated that the Job Corps
may be willing to help with
possible new construction at
the Base necessary for a Job
Corps center, thereby allow
ing new areas to be released
for use commercially, Grant
ham said.
Petersen, expressing con
cern over communication
said, "We have repeatedly
told them to come to Lincoln
to negotiate with us but they
haven't been willing."
Grantham was said to have
assured him that OEO of
ficials would soon be in Lin
coln to discuss problems.
Petersen has remained firm
on the March 15 city deadline
by which negotiations must
be completed.
Grantham said the Job
The conclusion of the re
port is that since the "situa
tion probably will result in a
deterioration in the quality of
the Unversity's instructional
program, as admitted by
Vice Chancellor Soshnik" (in
a Lincoln Journal interview),
the students "will suffer an
additional financial burden
for decreased instructional
benefits."
Both Hardin and Soshnik

mittee. Corps is willing to place the
1,500-man center at LAFB if
contract negotiations a r e
completed.
He said the contract would
be for one year with a yearly
renewal for four successive
years. The five-year pro
gram could cost a total of
about $40 million.
The center would mean
about 600 workers with a pay
roll of $4 million, an $8 mil
lion contract per year and
Corpsmen spending about
$500,000 a year.
In addition, Grantham said
the center would provide a
trained labor source, voca
tional and educational teach,
ers and specialized equip
ment. After five years, the center
could be used as a retraining
center for adults, a technical
school or a school for the
mentally retarded.
Grantham noted that th
program now requires pri
marily community accept-ance.
