Two Students
Given Awards
In Agriculture
Alyce Sides and Paul Johnston,
both University students, were
among the 20 agricultural college
seniors throughout the United
States to receive scholarship
awarded by Chas. Pfizer & Co.,
Inc.
The awards, offered for the first
time in 1956, were established to
encourage young people to choose
extension work as a career, espe
cially in the field of animal
health.
Each applicant submitted a plan
for an extension education pro-1
gram which was one of the de
ciding factors in the $200 scholar
ship awards. Miss Sides' outline
dealt with "The Relation
of Animal Health to Human
Health," with empasis on the prob
lem of brucellosis. Johnson's plan
stressed the importane'of animal
health, concentrating on the eco
nomic aspects of the subject.
The scholarship winners have
been active members in 4-H for
many years, and have held various
offices in their local organizations.
Both spent the summer of 1956 as
extension agent trainees.

Of
In a meeting with representa
tives of the Student Council Tues
day morning, Governor Victor An
derson stated that he doubted
"the full University budget would
be adopted" and added that he
"would have a problem to get
even what I recommend."
Anderson's comments came aft
er a resolution was presented to
him by Student Council president
Bruce Brugmann which urged
"the Governor of Nebraska to rec
ommend to the. Legislature the
adoption of the full budget" re
quested by Chancellor Clifford
Hardin.
However, Governor Anderson
went on to say that he would rec
ommend $2,400,000 budget increase
for faculty salary raises.

Senators Say
'Can't Neglect'
School Needs
Nebraska's state senators had
much to say - about the Univer
sity's 1957-59 budget request at
the Alumni Association's recep
tion for members of the legisla
ture and their -wives held in the
Union Tuesday at 6 p.m.
Among the commenting solons
Senator Charles Tvrdik of Oma
ha said that "we can't neglect
the University of Nebraska."
Senator Harry Pizer of North
Platte stated that "if we want a
good school, we will have to pay
for it."
"We are friendly to the Uni
versity," commented Senator Otto
Kotouc of Humboldt.
Newly elected Senator Fred Wag
goner of Lincoln said that he
"hadn't had a chance to study
the budget yet."
"You'll get most of it, I'm pretty
sure of that," Waggoner added.
Senator Terry Carpenter re
ported that he is "perfectly -will
ing' to let the -Governor adopt his
budget and be responsible for it.'
The solon from Scottsbluff added
that he thought the "tuition should
be raised to pay a substantial
degree of the budget request."
"Students should be qualified be
fore entering the University instead
of being made qualified after they
have enrolled," Carpenter com
mented.
Senator David Tews of Norfolk
said that he "hasn't seen the bud
get request yet."
We should keep teachers now
instead of trying to hire them
back," Tews stated.

that both he and the budget com

agreed that the $2,400,000 of the
requested increase be used speci
fically for salary adjustments.
"I will not recommend to the
Board of Regents an increase in
tuition," Anderson said.
The Governor added that "if
they do Increase tuition $60 per
semester that will mean an addi
tional $2,300,000 for a two-year
period.".
Anderson said he thought the
problem of an increase in tuition
"should be put up to the students
If an increase in tuition wsa
adopted by the Board of Regents
the Governor stated he would ad
vocate a student loan plan.
The plan, according to the Gov
ernor, would allow a student to
borrow money on the basis of a
4 interest with five years to pay
it back.
In cases of hardship the loan
could be extended on a yearly
Dasis, Anderson explained.
The Governor emphasized that
although the national income has
risen over the past two years Ne
braska s agricultural income has
suffered.
"In 1949 the University had an
enrollment of over 10,000 students
and was given eight million dol
lars for general operations," An
derson stated.
Citing the fact that the enroll
ment has dropped to around 8500
students in 1956 and the budget re
quest is approximately $23,500,000
Anderson said, he questioned
"whether the cost of living has
gone up 300."
'It is difficult for we who are
in public office to see where this
tremendous increase is," the Gov
ernor added.
Anderson stated that he and the
legislators must weigh botbr the
University's request and the posi
tion of the Nebraska tax payer,

Polio Shot
Program
Gets Boost
'The polio immunization pro
gram at the University received a
boost from the letter sent to par
ents over the holidays urging im
mediate immunization," stated Dr.
Samuel Fuenning, Medical Di
rector of the Student Health
Center.
According to Dr. Fuenninir a
large percentage of freshmen were
influenced by a letter sent early
in the fail and the first few days
after vacation have shown an
added increase. He said that
posters distributed around campus
have also aided in the campaign.
Dr. Fuenning said that state vac
cine is provided free for students
19 and below. A reduced charge
of one dollar is made for other
students.
Dr. Fuenning urged that every
one begin shots now at the student
health center so that they can have
at least partial immunization by
next August or September when
the polio season starts. '

Questions On Tuition
Proposed For Students
In an attempt to determine the
effort of a $60 increase in tuition,
a student questionnaire may be
prepared before second semester
classes begin, announced Chan
cellor Clifford Hardin in a fac
ulty senate meeting Tuesday.
The simple questionnaire would
be filled out during registration
and would include the following
information. What effect the $60
increase would have on student
enrollment at the university?
What the present financial con
ditions among the students are

and what they would be under the
increase? This question would in
clude the number of students now
required to work part time in or
der to attend college and the num
ber who would be forced to ob
tain part time employment to meet
the proj sed increased tuition.
Other tfions would determine
the numb of students who would
have to use the proposed student
loan funds in order to continue
their college education.
If enrollment continues at the
present level, the proposed $60
increase would bring an additional
two million dollars increase in
funds.
However, Chancellor Hardin ex
plained that if the enrollment
drops appreciably as a result of
the increase then the desired ef
fect of the increase would be nuli-
fied.
The possibility of raising out of
state tution was discussed but it

was pointed out that out of state
students constitute but seven per
cent of the total enrollment of the
university and no significant
amount of money could be raised
by this means.
The University Regents may ap
point a committee to study the
question of increased tuition, and
whether it can raise enough funds
to be practical.
Chancellor Hardin announced
that the raising of salaries would
be fourth in line for any increase
of university funds which may be
available the next fiscal year.
Legally the first in line for an
increase would be the old age and
retirement fund. Second would be
the employee's contribution to
social security. Third would be the
heating and operating of new
buildings.
Beyond these necessary expendi
tures, the salary raise would come
first.
Elections results for membership'
of the liasson committee, commit
