Budget Increase . . .
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.

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.

Union officials urge all stu
dents to watch for the waUhbird
signs outside the Crib. Present
plans include a change every
w.'ck or so. Coming attractions
will feature M. J. Kooncy and a
host of campus beauties.
Back in the fold after three
and a half lonk weeks is Bev
Harmon. 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.
Occasionally this column will
strive to print matter of a lit
erary nature. Witness the follow
ing. "My candle burns at both its
ends,
It will not last the night.
But oh my foes, and oh my
friends.
It gives a lovely light."

THE IT. S. 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.
Questions concerning the form of
the pact rather than its major
content and purpose was the ob
stacle in its approving.
EMERGENCY funds for In
dian families in the distress
areas of Nebraska was asked by
Senator Wherry. The Senate Ap
propriations committee will in
clude Nebraska in its investi
gation to determine whether In
dians are receiving sufficient re
lief. ATTEMPTS by American of
ficials to secure the release of
three Americans detained hy
Chechoslovakian authorities have
so far failed. Two American sol
diers and one civilian arc bring
held in Fragile for crossing the
border between Germany and
Czechoslovakia.
THE COLD AY A YE that struck
Nebraska alter almost balmy
weather was a god-send to in
habitants in southeastern Ne
braska. The cold wave stopped
the already rising rivers south
of Falls Citv. The Weather bur
eau issued reports of the new
cold wave but added that it was
very possible lhat it would by
pass most of Nebraska.
