Too Late Now . . .
Along with student headaches over exams for the last
ten days, the administration has been having a few head
aches over the recently approved budget for the University
in the next two years.
On only one request did the legislature grant the
amount requested by the University: SI. 01 for "Organized
Agriculture." The other requests wi re slici-d enough to
cut over $1,000,000 from the promised budgtt. The gov
ernor's recommended budget which was jmssi-d by the legis
lature increased the cost from the last biennium budget,
but the increases were not entirely parallel to requested
funds.
Most significant cut in the budget was made on the
allowance for salary increases to members of the faculty.
A 7.S er cent increase in pay will Vie allowed, but even
when pay is raised by that jkt cent, faculty salaries will still
be far below the cost of living increase in recent years.
As in too many cases, it is too late to do something
more than moan about it now. Perhaps the legislators have
not been sufficiently educated to the value of their state
university to realize that limited budgets mean limited
facilities for education. Perhaps they have a warjied pic
ture of the university, painted for them by us, the students,
and feel that if we don't worry about our education, why
should they.
A little more thought on the part of everyone con
cerned legislators, students and executives may lead one
day to complete agreement as to what the University means
to the state. It should moan education for the leaders of
the state tomorrow and should provide the best education
possible.
Until that happy medium is reached, students will have
to go on learning the best they can and hojie that they
can give their children the funds it takes for a truly "higher
education", which is not so concerned with money as with
knowledge.
Student Federalists Seleel UN
For February Convention Site
i roixn beiiman. j
The university has he-en ; elect eel
for a state si udent fode ralist con
vention, Sunday, Feb. !, accord

Double Take

Bake
The spirit of the theater is
gradually developing into a mean
ingless apparition on the UN cam
pus. The students have it in their
power to add needed protoplasm
to a worthwhile but compara
tively overlooked body.
Added interest can, in this case,
be described as the needed pro
toplasm. The University Theater is a
woik.shop, a place to learn and
learn the hard way... in front
cf an audience. It isn't a '"life is
a bowl of cherries" department,
but rather one of thankless en
deavor where rewards are reaped
many years hence. Strangely enuf
it's a place that encourages mis
takes . . but not recurrent ones.
An actor's success is dependent
upon his ability to make mistakes
and to correct them . his down
fall, the repeating of them.
Students may avoid the theater
productions because they con
sider thrm as unpolished produc
tions and surprising as it may
seem, the first to acrer on that
Mould te the student actors. They
don't claim the ability, nor do
they have the time, to devote all
their efforts to making each pro
duction a crowning theatrical
achievement. They strucsle under
these handicaps to bevel the much
edqes from their presentations but
don't declare they alwavs do a
stellar piece of work.
To the act"r, be he professional
or amateur, there is but one ba
rometer fur success reception
by his audience and the ollicial
critical observer. j
Theater-goers often shower a
production or an actor wilh idle
praise or unfounded criti-ism due
to a lack of understanding of the
plot or charaderizations of the
participants. Remedy of this aud
ience ailment can best be supplied
thru the comments of n good critic'
here, agam at UN. this be

The director's corrections, criti
cism and opinions are a part of
the acting process, but the audi
ence roac lion is the essence of
c.ojiutal S'iccc..;; fur both the ac
tors and the productions. No!
