Budget Committee Slashes
University Appropriation
The University's budget has re
ceived another blow. A recom
mendation by the state legisla
ture's budget committee will con
stitue a $400,000 cut in the gov
ernor's budget and a $2,600,000
cut in the budget requested by the
University. The legislature's budg
et committee has recommended
that $7,400,000 in property tax
funds be appropriated to the Uni
versity for the 1949-51 biennium.
In the governor's budget, it was
estimated that the University will
receive $4,600,000 in tuition fees.
The University, however, has
based its budget on an estimation
of $3,400,000 in student fees.
THE BUDGET committee has
apparently taken the governor's
fipure as the correct one despite
the fact that C. Y. Thompson,
president of the University Board
of Regents, recently called the fig
ure an error.
Thompson stated that "this er
ror can be corrected by cutting
th cash fund figure in the gover
nor's budget from $4,600,000 to
$3.-100,000 and increasing the gen
Ci.il fund, appropriation from $7,
fsro 000 to nine million dollars.
This action will assure the Uni
vcrs:ty of receiving the $12,400,
the Governor has rccommend-
co'
"The University will turn back
to the general fund any tuition
money it receives in excess of the
S3. '100.000. "
THE BUDGET committee has
.mrecd that a reduction of $400,
000 in the University's "building
maintenance and repair budget is
possible. This can be made up
from the University's share of the
1.1 special building fund levy, a
committee member said.
It has been pointed out that the

lege Unit's weekly board meeting,
nnd to be elected next Wednes

Cross olficers:
Nebraska. Friday. April 22. 1949
governor's budget has been based
on the funds spent during only
one year, a year when the Uni
versity College of Law was not in
full operation.
The University has also pointed
out that the governor did not con
sider the fact that enrollment at
the University College of Medi
cine in Omaha has increased and
that the cost of operating the
hospital has increased about
$200,000 a year.
AN ADDITIONAL cut in ap
propriations has been made in the
board of control budget which
has been decreased by $695,690.
The budget committee will ask
that this ajnount be taken from
the board's share of the special
building fund.
University officials have stated
that veteran enrollment has shift
ed from the sophomore level to
the junior and senior classes. In
structional costs at this level are
greater because upperclass sub
jects are more specialized and the
classes must be broken up into
smaller units.

Process
in the freshman year for all
the student desires a change,
not be needed the remaining
semesters.
INCLUDED IN the advance
form are lists of clearly defined
requirements for graduation so
that none will be overlooked.
On the front of the form is a
graph to be filled out with the
student's freshman examination
scores so that he may have a
profile of his attributes.
When registration time ap
proaches each semester, all the
student needs to do will be to ap
pear before the assignment com
mittee to OK his schedule.
IF AT ANY time the student
wishes to make a change in the
courses he wishes to take or his
major or minor, he will see his
advisor for help in changing his
curriculum. A new form sheet
will be made out then with the
changes made.
The plan was worked out by
a committee of Arts and Science
professors, headed by Dr. William
H. Werkmeister of the philosophy
department.
"We think this plan will save
time for both students and ad
visors," said Dean Charles H. Old
father of the Arts and Science
