A proposed University operating
budget of $29,150,125 calling for
an additional $5,563,125 in slate
tax revenre ha been askd by
Chancellor Clifford Hardin to meet
what he termed a "real crisis."
Outlined by the Chancellor in a
special press session Friday, the
budget would bring the total state
tax appropriation to $23,363,127 for
the 1957-59 period.
Nearly half of the budget in
crease, $2,484,292, deals with the
"salary problem" which the Chan
cellor said affects not only the
teaching and professional staff but
all other categories of employees.
An enrollment increase of 1,500
during the next biennium will re
quire at least 80 additional teach
ers just to maintain the present
standards of instruction, accord

Hardin Quizzed:
The Interfraternity Council has
sent Chancellor Clifford Hardin a
communication asking for the
clarification of the University's so
cial policies.
The action which was adopted in
a closed meeting of the IFC
Wednesday came on the heels of
a withdrawal of a previous peti
tion by the IFC to the Commit
tee on Student Affairs. The fra
ternity representatives had pre
viously asked the faculty group
for the reinstatement of the an
nual IFC Ball at the Turnpike Ball
room. This action was withdrawn by
IFC president Sam Ellis after con
sultation with J. P. Colbert, Dean
of Student Affairs. Colbert 'had

Controversy:
Queen Voting Discussed
At Open Tassels Meeting
Discussion concerning the elec
tion of the Homecoming Queens
was held in an open Tassels meet
ing Monday.
Most of the discussion involved
members of the Student Council
and Tassels over the procedure of
nominating and electing queen can
didates. Presently the Tassels have no
constitutional right to select queen
candidates solely from their own
organization as has been tradi
tional. The discussion was held in
an effort to provide suggestions
for a coming revision in the Tas
sels constitution regarding queen
elections.
Mick Neff, vice-president of the
Student Council, stated that she
should not be taken from one
small group such as Tassels.
He stated that most universities
select their queen from the whole
student body and he recommended
this procedure be adopted by the
Tassels.
Jan Schrader, treasurer of Tas
sels, in replying to Neff 's proposal,
stated that "every house would
probably send over only one or
two -candidates anyway."
"'Every house should consider
Homecoming queen elections when
choosing Tassels representatives,"
Miss Schrader commented.
Neff went on to ask in 'subse
quent discussion, "Why should Tas
sels own the Homecoming Queen
when it belongs to the campus?"
Hanna Rosenburg, vice-president
y
of Tassels, maintained that if can
didates were chosen from the cam
pus houses would choose Tassels."
Neff denied this and said that
he "had talked to some house
presidents who said that wouldn't
necessarily choose Tassels for
their candidates."
Sl.ati.-p his views on future elec
tions Neff recommended t n a t
queen candidates be chosen .by a

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA
sent Saturday to the Committee
on Student Affairs of which Dean
Colbert is chairman. Chancellor
Hardin's office offered ""no com
ment on the IFC letter other than
the information that the proper
place for such action was in the
Division of Student Affairs or the
Faculty Senate Committee on Stu
dent Affairs.
The exact contents of the let
ter to the Chancellor have not
been disclosed to The Nebraskan.
Neither have the proceedings of
the "Wednesday meeting been re
leased as of yet.
The meeting was closed because,
according to Ellis, the matter dis-j
cussed was of vital interest to the
fraternity system, and had to be
worked out within the group it
self. The motion to close the 'meet
ing to representatives of the press
and observers came from the floor.
Only one representative from each
board made up of the presidents
of Cobs and Tassels, the president
of the N Club, and two representa
tives from Lincoln businesses.
Marv Breslow, a senior mem
ber of the Council, called the nom
inating board plan "'a good idea"
and stated that it was "better to
make the queen election an open
arrair."
"I don't think that all the cam
pus spirit is confined to Tassels,"
Breslow commented.
"'Tassels has a very st r o n g
precedent to handle Homecoming
queen elections," Breslow added.
He went on to state, however,
that candidates should not be
chosen from Tassels as has been
traditional.
Miss Rosenburg said that by
witholding the names of the can
didates until the last moment ele
ments of political corruption were
largely eliminated.
The other vice-president of the
Council, Don Beck, asked why
"girls on the Yell Squad were not
eligible for Queen?"
Beck went on to comment, "se
rious consideration should be made
to changing ancient methods."
In opposition to Neff's sugges
tion, Beck stated that he felt
"throwing the election wide open
to the campus would be a radical
thing."
