At a University budget hearing Thursday the Governor asked school officials in a reappraisal of their needs to "consider the state economic xrisis." He added he realized the serious ness of the Chancellor's budget problems and its relationship to high University standards but said he could -not approve the entire $5,500,000 NU budget increase. Recommending a "bed rock" estimation, the Chancellor asked the committee for a total operat- Maintenance, Salary Crises Confront NU A national recruiting struggle be tween colleges and universities is taking key faculty members from the NU campus. Chancellor Clif ford Hardin warned a governor's budget committee Thursday. Urging approval of a $5,500,000 hike in the NU budget, the Chan cellor said, "If Nebraska does not choose to act now, perhaps, we shall all be unwilling witnesses to the departure of over 200 members of our faculty in the next two years." As late as a week ago Monday, the Chancellor said, five key men received offers from other institu tions, with salary increases rang ing from $1,500 to $2,500. "We do not have to match these offers," the Chancellor said, "but we must come much closer." Nearly half the budget increase, $2,484,292, deals with the salary problem, affecting both the teacher and labor force of the University. Stressing the need for additional teachers, the Chancellor pointed out that NU enrollment increased 1,700 students the past three years "with no appreciable teacher in creases." Seventy-five additional instruct ors will be needed during the next two years to adjust to these in creases and to meet an expected enrollment increase from 8,400 to 10,000 by 1958, Hardin said. Increased maintenance costs, in cluding rising retirement funds; increased costs for drugs, and rapid patient turnover and other maintenance costs at the Univer sity Medfcal Center in Omaha; ad ditional assistance for the College of Agriculture, the Agricultural Ex periment Station and the Agricul tural Extension service, with speci fic help for farmers in irrigation, fertilization, soil testing and breed ing were other factors listed by the Chancellor necessitating an in crease in the University budget. Explaining what the budget in crease would mean to individual taxpayers, Hardin said a farmer with a $50,000 investment would pay an additional $15.30 not too great a cost for ensuring the agri cultural and educational future of the state. ' "I would submit, most earnestly, that the University budget request is reasonable," Hardin said. It is not extravagant. It is a hard core, bed rock estimation of a very grave situation. "I would submit that our budget is within the capacity of Nebras- Contlnued on Page 4 1 College, Delta Gamma; Arlene Hrbek, senior in Arts and Sci ence, Delta Delta Delta; and Marion Janda, ' senior in Ag, Love Memorial Hall.

Following the hearing the Chan cellor said fre was "s;ill hopeful" the governor would accept the budget as proposed." Gov.

The 27 University students were first roused by RUey who spread the alarm through the upper floor of the frame building. Bob Dreesen, senior in engineer ing, then awoke the rest of tha bouse who evacuated in mass. A member of Pi Kappa Phi fraternity turned in the alarm to the Lincoln fire department and within ttiree minutes they were at the scene of the fire. The Lincoln firemen fought for nearly half an hour in freezing weather to bring the blaze under control. The students y'ood ouiside clad only in the clothes that they could ; take with them. They tried to sal j vage as much of ttieir possessions as they could carry with them. The damage to personal prop erty of the members was not estimated but clothes in the right wing closets were considerably damaged, and some of their prop erty on the back porch had been chared. The students were housed for the rest of the nig!it in N o r r i s House, Brown Palace and Corn husker Co-operative houses, and in the neighboring Pi Kappa Phi fraternity house. Dreeson, preparing to go to bed, said that he first noticed the f.aroes as they burned through the second floor hall-way. He said, "the porch doorway ap peared in solid flames, and I couldn't believe what I was seeing until someone on the other end of the hall yelled, fire!'" Riley explained that after he first and tried to arouse as many men as be could. Don Hansen, engineering student Eaid that most of the students in the house were awake when the alarm was sounded and that he heard the sound of "elephants" as he went for the front door. He put on a pair of pants over his pajamas and went for the door. The other students were right behind him leaving the house. Hansen said estimates have been taken on the damage and that it will take at least a month to put the house in order. Contractors will repair the build ing as soon as possible, be said.
