Inflation and the Budget . . .
Inflation does not distinguish between the housewife,
the farmer, the skilled laborer, the manufacturer, the agen
cies of government OR the instructor. But the salaries
paid the faculty at the University have failed to meet the
rising cost of living.
The plain, hard fact before us is that an unprecedented
inflation engulfs the nation today. Nebraskans, since the
end of World War LT, have amassed gross incomes exceed
ing those of any other period in our history.
An equally plain, unyielding fact is that our dollars buy
less In 1940 our dollar bought 99.8 cents worth of merchan
dise. In 1946 it shrank to 71 cents. Today it will buy 55
cents worth of the things we need to live.
Over 60 per cent of the University's operational cost is
salaries and wages. These salaries are paid to people who
have chosen teaching as a career. Many of them have spent
years in preparing for the task of educating you who are
now in school and those who will follow.
These people, by virtue of this great service they offer,
certainly deserve to enjoy some of the fruits of the society
in which they live. They want their own homes. They want
their families to enjoy the opportunities of higher educa-
UnNebraska's instructors cannot be blamed if they leave
the University for higher salaries in private employment.
For the past two years the University has struggled against
the effects of an abnormal turnover in its staff. m
And here we see another plain, hard fact The salaries
of the University have not kept pace with the cost of liv
ing. Only one other group of wage earners in Nebraska have
received smaller pay increases during the inflation than
the University faculty.
The University has based its request for a 20 per cent
increase on these facts. No one can deny that Nebraska
instructors deserve a salary increase to meet the problem
of inflation. Susie Heed.

NEBRAS&ANS had hoped for
colder weather to stave off the
floods but they had not reckoned
Vkith additional snowfall. Snow
started Wednesday over most of
the state and was continuing
Thursday. This added precipita
tion increased the troubles for
most of Nebraska and Iowa.
Rivers throughout the two state
area seemed undecided as to
whether to rise or fall Slight
snow storms raised some, but
others receded after the cold
weather. However, the snow will
tend to increase or prolong the
roods.

STOPPING the Southern
Democrats filibuster seemed im
possible Thursday night if the
debating limiting petition is not
passed- The Truman Democrats
can only hope for a ruling from
Vice-president Barkley to curb
debate on the floor. The reason
for so much democratic apitation
is President Truman's civil rights
bill which the Dixicrals do not

HIGHLIGHTS of the ISA so
cial calendar this year have been
the Bums' ball, the ISA Sweet
heart contest and the forthcom
ing Spring formal and University
picnic.
The Nebraska branch of ISA
will be host to the western con
ference of the organization next
November, said ' Middleton. The
conference will drew at least 200
delegates to this campus from
schools west of the Mississippi,
including Colorado, California.
Texas A. & M., Kansas .State and
many others, he said. Dates of
the meet are Nov. 1 and 12 next
fall.
The independent organization
on this campus was re-founded in
1943, as the USA. It became
filiated, with the National Inde
pendent Students Associated in
1948. changing its name from Un
affiliated Students Associated to
the present ISA.
o o o
THE ORGANIZATION is set up
on the campus- in the form of
wards.1 Twenty students constitute
a ward and are eligible to elrct
a ward representative to the ISA
council, which directs the group's
activities.
Two elections for the organiza
tion are held yearly, sd that con
tinuity is achieved. Several offices
were filled for the year last Janu
ary. The March election, the main
one, will complete the new ex
ecutive board, according to Mid
dleton, sophomore in Business
Administration.
Present officers of ISA include,
besides Middleton, Bill Plant, vicV
president; Esther Schoen, record-V
ing secretary; Joann Learning,
treasurer; Phyllis Johnson, corre
sponding secretary; Phyllis Bar
ribo, social chairman; and Betty
