Today's issue carries the story of a request to the State Legislature by the University for a 20 per cent in crease in its operating budget. It lists the reasons given by the University for the necessity of these funds. In the weeks preceding the consideration of the Uni versity budget bill by the legislature, The Daily Nebraskan will attempt to present more information concerning the budget to the student body so that they will have a com plete understanding of it. It will also elaborate on the reasons given by the University for this increase. The University serves the state in three ways, a fact which makes it unique among state institutions. The basic mission of our University is that which directly concerns you, the student body. The University makes it possible for you to receive the valuable privilege of higher education. The University is the state's main research agency, and its scientists work continually on projects which will benefit not only the state but the entire nation. The Uni versity is also public service institution which brings the advantages of teaching and research to every corner of the state. All University funds ultimately reach one or all of these three divisions of service. Consider the $3,404,000 the University has requested for the coming biennium. Forty-six per cent of it goes for teaching, 20 per cent for research and 17 per cent for pub lic services. The remaining 17 per cent is necessary for op erating and generx ! expenses. As the group which benefits the most from the serv ices of the University, the student body should be vitally concerned with this proposed budget increase. You should need no prodding to take an interest in the matter. The Daily Nebraskan will put the information before your eyes. All you have to do is read and think. Let's begin to do a little serious thinking NOW. Susie Reed School of Music Extends Deadline The Music department an nounced Friday the deadline for submission of original Nebraska compositions for rendition by University music groups has been extended to March 15.

"Les Vieilles Places de Paris" (The Old Squares of Paris) shows the many squares of Paris which are known the world over for their historical background and their beauty. Old drawings depict the squares as they formerly ap peared, and recent pictures show them as they now exist.

The project was begun in April, 1948. and culminated in a three-day session which ended Friday. NU Requests 20 Per Cent Bud net Raise The University has asked the State Legislature for a 20 per cent increase in its total operating budget. It has requested 10 million dol lars for t ho next two years from state tax sources. This is $3,404. 000 more than was appropriated for the current biennium. The University obtains revenue from the following sources: stu dent fees, $3,404,000 or 22 per cent of the total; federal funds, $1,577, 416 or 17 per cent; endowment in come, $45,135 or less than one per cent; and $10,000,000 or 60 per cent. The funds from these sources add up to $15,022,551. STl'DEXT FEES, federal funds and endowment income are fixed items. Therefore the University is looking to the State Legislature for the additional funds which it considers necessary to carry on its operation. The University has given five specific reasons why it needs these additional nuds: (1) $884,446 of the increase will give present employees a salary increase averaging about nine and one-half per cent. The increases will be given on a "merit" basis to individual employees. No blan ket increase in salaries is planned. (2) $772,549 is needed for 139 employees to be hired at an an nual average salary of $2,778. Some of these employees are new jobs in existing departments such as the University hospital. Most of them are replacements for per sonnel retiring or leaving the Uni versity. (3) $1,037,657 will be used to purchase teaching and research equipment and supplies and to op erate and maintain the building and grounds. The University re gards these funds necessary in re gard to increased costs of equip ment, supplies and skilled labor. Minor repairs to buildings and grounds, noti ncluded in the renovation program provided by the special state institution build ing levy, are also involved. (4) $108,946 will be used for part time employees, mainly stu dents, for research assistants and for teaching assistants. The Uni versity considers these funds necessary because of higher pay demands. (5) $600,000 is needed to replace a loss in student fee collections. Enrollment has been shifting from dominantly veteran students to dominantly non-veteran students. Lincoln High School Senior Choir I'nder Direction of Hugh T.

The hometown boys are so provincial. The dance floor at King's was mighty slick Friday night, ac cording to the testimonials of TKE's. Sigma Chi's and Kappa Sigs. Pat King and Butch Mans field bore up under the strain, even walked away with the door prizes. It aopears that the Thilpot Derby is in the last stretch. From the grandstand it looRs like Dale Armstrong and Dick Staley are in the lead. When it's all over, Suzie will list Vajn Anderson as an "also ran." The campus is on the move! The pharmacists are on their way to Indiana, all exenses paid. Sounds like they won some kind of a soap flakes contest. Headed in a southerly direction are Tom Brownlee, Emil Hahn, Fog Allen, Del Ryder and Hook Shea, who will fly to New Orleans in time for the Mardi Gras. The doors at the ATO house are getting loose at the hinges, according to the tales of some of the boys. It seems one of them knocked Razz Barry for a loop in the vicinity of his left eye.

ARMY admitted that the report on the Soviet spy ring in Japan during the war was not based on enough facts. The supposed spy ring had been extremely successful, the report said, and went so far as to name a few of its members. Now the Army retracts its statements and admits they didn't have enough proof to justify the release of such a report. THE NORTH ATLANTIC Se curity Alliance still remains the main topic of discussion in the State Department. Meetings be tween the Sinate Foreign Rela tions committee and Secretary of State Acheson have failed to bring any results except maybe to excite European diplomats.
