Regents Request Budget
Best Season
Once more it is Christmas" time and the best season of
the year. It is the time of the year when people's spirits are
highest, when families are together, when troubles are for
gotten and when we should thank God for our blessings.
Although Christmas time is full of gaiety and fun, we
should remember that it is not just decorated Christmas
trees, presents, mistletoe, jingle bells. Christmas in many
minds has become a commercial project. All the emphasis
is put on giving and receiving presents.
Christmas should have a deeper meaning for all of us.
Over nineteen hundred years ago a Savior came into the
world to bring peace to all men. It is to this Prince of Peace
that we should look for our world's future. Let's remember
that Christmas is His day and not ours. Let us also rem
ber that the kind and generous spirit of Christmas should
prevail in our hearts through the entire year, not for just a
two- or three-week period. Let us ask the Prince of Teace
to bring the happiness to our world that he brought to the
world over nineteen hundred years ago.

Y Plans Candle
CollcctionDrivc
Candles, no matter what their
condition, will be collected after
Christmas by the YW for ship
ment to Germany.
Flo Armold, chairman of the
World Service committee, an
nounced that the candles can be
in any condition bent, Email,
curty because the need is great
and they may be remelted and
molded again.
Last year candles and other
things were sent to the same
group in Germany, a neighbor
hood house in Berlin. In a letter
thanking the Y for last year's
packages, a German gill said, "Do
vou know what it means to us to
nave candles? Most of the time
when we have group work it is
dark, because in blockaded Ber
lin there is only electricity for
two hours during the whole day.
and there is only a very small
kind of heating in our rooms, and
w? have the feeling that candles
are able to five light and heat
ing at the same time."'
Miss Annul d urged students to
bring back some of the candles
used in thtir Christmas decora
tions. in Vets' Christmas
Christmas ornaments.
University Singers presented
their carol concert for patients
last Thursday. Music sororities
presented special Christmas
numbers last week. Sigma
Kappa, Gamma Delta and Alpha
Chi Omega also sang at the hospital.
Ask 20 Percent More
In 1949-51 Span
The University will ask the next session of the Legisla
ture for a 20 percent increase in its total operating budget
for 1949-51.
Members of the Board of Regents, Chancellor Gustav
son and the university officials presented this estimate
Temple Said
Unsafe for
Future Use
Temple Theater has been con
demned by Board of Regent ac
tion on a report of the state fire
marshal submitted at the Re
gent's meeting Saturday.
Comptroller John Selleck
stated in discussion of the recom
mendation, "no private party
could ever have operated the
theater in that condition."
Selleck's proposal that
architect and engineer be
tained to consider use of
building was approved by
an
the
regents.
"This is a terrific risk," com
mented Chancellor Gustavson.
"The fire escapes are inadequate
and the hazards are frighten
ing." He asked that while the archi
tect and engineer are studying
the theater the number of peo
ple who can be there be re
stricted that refunds will have to
be made on tickets already sold.
Dallas Williams, director of
the University Theater, com
mented, "Anything they do for
us will be an improvement. I
believe the Regents' action will
benefit our productions in the
long run."
The Board of Regents, acting
on many measures on their en
larged agenda, approved a reso
lution that Northeast hall of the
women's residence halls be
named Heppner hall. This action
honors Amanda H. Heppner, lor
mer dean of women here who
died last month.
A semester leave of absence
was granted to Warren R. Bailer,
acting dean of the junior divi
sion, to study at the University
of Texas.

"This

biennial budget called
Val Peterson.
No Bargain .

studded with padded
remarked the Chancel-
lor.
"The University's budget re
quest for the next biennium is
an honest budget," he added. It
represents over six months of in
tensive study by the University
staff. The budget docs not an
swer all the University's prob
lems, however, especially when
you consider that budget officers
cut $3,000,000 from the request
submitted by department heads.
This means the budget is realis
tic, both in terms of meeting the
University's most pressing needs
and Nebraska's ability to pay
for a good university."
Main Purposes
This yearly increase of $1,702.
000 will be used for five main
purposes.
1. $442,000 annually to in
crease salaries of many pi esent
employes on a "merit" "basis. No
blanket wage boost is planned
in.- , ...
uie overall avereage ol increases
would be 9.65 per cent.
2. $386,274 anually ' for em
ployees to replace those retiring
or leaving the institution, and
hiring new personnel particu
larly in the field of research.
Nearly half of those people will
staff agricultural or medical
agencies of the University.
3. $518,828 annually for teach
ing and research supplies and
equipment; for upkeep and op
eration of the buildings and
grounds on a level which pro
vides deferred maintenance.
Some Pay Hikes.
4. $54,473 annually for addi
tional part-time personnel,
mainly students, assisting in
teaching and research: for some
increases in the rate of pav
5. $.100,000 to replace" ' the
shrinkage in revenue from the
Veterans Administration due to
an anticipated decline in veteran
enrollment in the next two years.
Increasing non-veteran enroll
ment will keep the teaching
had near its present level. The
difference is civilian students
pay $1")0 a year tuition, the VA
twice that amount.
"Tli is budget." concluded the
Chancellor in his remarks "is an
honest effort to keep faith with
this great partnership between
the people and their University."
Movie Records
Sea Fish Sounds
The first recording of fish
sounds in a film will feature a
scientific color movie, "Voice of
the Deep," to be shown in the
Union ballroom at 4 p. m., Thurs
day, Jan. 6.
This film, sponsored by the Inter-varsity
Christian Fellowship,
was made by a scientific expedi
tion sent out by the Moody IJible
Institute to the coast of southern
California. They returned with
thirty minutes of colorful marine
drama in pictures.
The previous production, "God
of the Atom," was sponsored last
semester by IVCF.
CU. YWCA Aids Students
Foreign students attending the
University of Culm ado get help
with their language problems
from a special class conducted by
the YWCA. The students are
helped in learning the meanings
of English idioms and phrases
which are not to be taken liter
ally; for instance, "on your toes,"
which is hard for them to un
derstand. 48-HR. SERVICE
