kan has received this award. The
paper was rated AU-American in
the fall semester of 1955, in the
spring semester of 1952 and in
1947.
According to Fred Kildow, di
rector of ACP, All American rat
ing indicates a distinctly superior
achievement."
The critera by which the news
papers were judged are coverage,
content and physical properties;
the Nebraskan rated excellent or
superior in each of these fields.
The judge was Gareth Heilbent,
former editor of the St. Paul Pi
oneer Press.
Heilbert commented, "Your stu
dent coverage is excellent-blending
nicely with academic and
classroom copy". He remarked
that the style had a "professional
touch".
"The editorials certainly follow
the news and take a strong tone",
he said. He called the sports
coverage about as "tnorougn a
job as I've seen".
"Frankly I am impressed by
your display", he stated. "It
makes your page look like a metro
politan daily. It has eye appeal
and should make the readers
read!"
Bruce Brugmann, Arts and Sci
ences senior, was editor of the
Nebraskan last semester. "I feel
that the All American rating giv
en to last semester's Nebraskan
is not only a credit to its fine
staff and excellent columnists, but
will also be taken as a tribute
to those students and faculty mem
bers who took an unusual interest
in our paper last spring", Brug

told the Regents that "the Uni

teacher and researcher, one who
is highly regarded by bom the stu

The Chancellor said that the
reason for Dr. Held's resignation
was p?Jtially because of financial

"Dr. Held enjoyed Nebraska and
his work at the University but be
cause of the salary difference
about $3,000 more he felt that he

increase.
Greenberg said "We certainly
feel we should get our money from
the Legislature."
Governor Anderson said after
the meeting, however, that much
of the additional money "will have
to be raised in ways other than
by raising the mill levy," appar
ently referring to a possible tui
tion hike.
The governor said he would rec
ommend to the Legislature tax
money for salary increases for
present personnel. This would
amount to about half the budget
figure, about $2,400,000.
He did not mention funds for
hiring 80 additional instructors as
well as funds for several Univer

specific figures that he will rec

expected to be delivered within
the next 12 days.
The governor said he gave the
board "a general idea" of what
his budget recommendation would
be.
He stressed that drought condi

Most of the legislators this year
will be conservative when it comes
to state spending, he said.
The governor renewed a sugges

If tuitions are raised, Anderson
said, he would ask the Legislature
to approve a loan plan or similar
