(Editor's Note: This is the sec
end of a series of four articles to
be published by The Daily Ne
braskan dealing with the univer
sity's 1947-49 budget, now being
considered by the state legisla
ture. Today's article deals with the
university's budget needs for the
next two years. The Nebraskan
urges students to clip this series
of articles and mail them to their
parents. In this manner it is hoped
that an increasing number of per
sons will become acquainted with
the university's problems.)

The university's request for
state tax funds, generally derived
from the state property tax, com
pares with $4,500,000 appropriated
for the 1945-47 period. It repre
sents an increase of 44 per cent.
This request for tax funds from
the entire state of Nebraska for
the coming two years is roughly
equivalent to the amount of
money spent in one year alone to
operate the public school system
of Lincoln and Omaha combined.
Increase.
The entire budget of $10,103,194
represents an increase of 23 per
cent over the current biennium.
How will it be spent?
About $4,780,000 will be spent
for teaching, a sum dictated by
the large enrollment at the uni
versity which now stands at an
all time high. In order to give this
huge number of students, particu
larly the veterans the kind of edu
cation they deserve, the univer
sity hopes to spend nearly five
million on enlarging its instruc
tional staff and purchasing much
needed teaching equipment.
The widely varied research pro

expanded to meet the demands of

Ever since Eve received top
billing for her apple act single
in the Garden with Adam acting
as straight man, women have been
trying to get in the act. Last
night was their annual "claim to
fame nite," they claimed and we
fanned.
With deep purple best describ
ing the marks on our throats,
placed ever so lightly there by
Mimi Ann Johnson's skirted
Gestapo band, we watched the
Alpha Phi's take blue ribbon
honors in the skits and the Pi
Phi's do likewise in the curtain
acts. Wiggling to second and
third slots for the skits were the
Thetas and AOPi gals with the
Tri-Delts annexing number two
position in the acts class.
Jeanne Branch put the Thetas
in the double money class by
taking home the typical Nebraska
coed title in the style show
finale.
With these few formalities out
of the way comes the time for
description of the winners circle.
Being all eye balls and drool not
many wiggles and shakes escaped
unscrutinized.
No. 5 spot proved to be lucky
for the Phi's who coyly called

Crosby To Talk At Convo
Sponsored By Federalists
Lieutenant Governor Robert B.
Crosby will be the speaker at a
Student Federalist sponsored all
university convocation in the
Union ballroom at 3 p. m. Thurs
day, on the tome of 'A Nebraska
Approach to World Government."
Crosby, who has been a major
figure in state politics, has re
cently been the subject of wide
publicity as a result of his plea
for the abolishment of his office
of Lieutenant Governor, for he
points out that under the present
system the lieutenant governor is
elected on a partisan ticket to
preside over a non-partisan house.
Stating that the abolishment of
the office would also tend to
shorten the ballot, he commented,
Under the present system the
legislature would resent it if the
lieutenant governor tried to in
fluence the unicameraL There
fore,, he acts merely as a parlia
mentarian."

Memorial LeWer
By JACK HILL
In an unprecedented move, the
university faculty met Tuesday in
Sosh auditorium to draft a me
morial advocating the immediate
acceptance of David E. Lilienthal
as chairman of the atomic com
mission. It is believed that this univer
sity is the first in the nation to
make such a move.
Represented by more than 125
members, the meeting was called
by a self appointed committee
consisting of Professors M. L.
Baker, David Fellman, T. Jorgen
sen, J. L. Saylor, C. H. Oldfather
and J. L. Sellers.
Oldfather Presides.
The meeting was opened by
Dean Oldfather, who presided
over discussion of the memorial
and its practically unanimous pas
sage. Prof. Sellers, speaking from
the floor, commented that in his
opinion, the message, which is
scheduled to be sent to President
Pro Tern of the Senate Arthur
Vandenberg and to Senator
Bourke Hickenlooper, chairman
of the senate and joint senate
house committee on atomic af
fairs, was not vigorous enough.
Sellers read portions of an ar
ticle from last Sunday's New York
Times, pointing out that MJ.T.'s
president, E. A. Compton, was
supporting lilienthal wholeheart
edly. In answer to Dean Emeri
tus J. E. Le Rossignol's objections
to paragraph three of the docu
ment, Sellers answered that the
purpose of this move is to gain
public attention and that such at
tention will come only when
"weakness and timidity are by
passed."

Worcester was answered elo
quently by chemistry Prof. Nor

to end this business of dragging a
man's name thru the mud," th
professor said. He continued with
pertinent comments in connection
with Senator K. A. McKellar, Lil

Cromwell referred to McKel

Lilienthal
Memorial
We the vnderslrned, mem
bers of the Instructional sad
administrative staff of - the
University of Nebraska, for
unelves im our individual
capacities, believe that the in
ternational control of atomic
enercy is necessary for the
security of this country and the
peace of the world. The Atomic
EnertT Act of 1946 embodies
the sound principles of tw
ernmental control that should
be preserved and adequately
implemented.
We are convinced that the
present strug?le over the con
firmation of Mr. David E.
Lilienthal as Chairman of the
Atomic Enerry Commission
does not turn on personal
qualifications, but is rather an
attack upon the constructive
policy to which this country is
and should be committed.
We believe that the methods
used in this struggle, and above
all, the besmirching of char
acter and the appeal of pre
judices, are fraught with dan
ger for the future of our
democratic institutions.
We therefore strongly rge
members of the Senate to
ignore considerations of par
tisanship, personal malice,
trumped-up evidence, and
charges of suspicion" and to
confirm the appointment of
Mr. David E. Lilienthal, an
able, experienced, trustworthy,
and devoted public servant.
Editors Note: This is the
memorial being circulated to
daj by members of the in
structional and administrative
staff of the university in con
nection with the Lilienthal ap
pointment confirmation.
