A proposed University operating budget of $29,150,125 calling for an additional $5,563,125 in state tax revenue was asked by Chancellor Clifford Hardin to meet what he called "a real crisis." Nearly half of the increase dealth with faculty salary increases. Governor Anderson, on Novem ber 30, asked the University to trim its budget to the "bare mini mum," to meet the "state eco nomic crisis". He said he realized the seriousness of the Chancel lor's request, but said he could not approve the entire request. Elliott Resigns Rated as second top story was the replacement of head football coach Pete Elliott with Bill Jen nings, assistant coach.

The eminent British Hispanist, lecturer, scholar, and writer who has spent many holidays roaming with the gypsies of continental Europe said, "The gypsies great est cultural contribution is in the field of music. "They have in fliteneed greatly the music of Rus sia, Spain and Hungary." He illustrated his lecture with his violin, demonstrating the style of the music which, "is always played for a purpose and never for the fun of it. These wan derers, such as those in Hun gjry, p!ay to the fare', or in other words use their music to hypnotise the listener." A blood-brother of gypsies, Dr, Elarkls explained that their music h aL;o used in fortune telling.

Open Meetings The fifth rated story of the se mester was The Nebraskan re quest for open meetings of the Committee on Student Affairs. A letter sent by the Nebraskan to the Committee stated that "for a student newspaper to serve the University, it is necessary that an unimpeded flow of informa tion concerning student and facul ty activities be established.' Phillip Colbert, Dean of Student Affairs, asked Sam Jensen, editor, to appear before the Board of Pub lications .with his request. After he did so, the Board maintained that it had po real power to issue directives to the committee, but it did strongly recommend that committee meetings be opened. The issue is still pending before the committee. Jensen has said that he intends to meet with the committee during the first week of exams. Raible Accuses Charges made by the Rev. Peter Raible, pastor of the Lincoln Uni tarian church at the University faculty Is "discouraged, sick ' at heart and fearful" was rated as the sixth story of the semester. In an open letter to the Chancel lor, Raible called him "the most important man in the state". But, he maintained, "the chief problem of the University is not the park ing problem or the building pro gram, but the highest mainten ance of facilities." . Queen Elections Seventh story of the semester is the controversy over the meth od of electing the Homecoming Quen.

What young people ar Sis - tK Young engineer pioneers new ways to use x-ray A new x-ray inspection gystem which intensi fies an x-rdy image more than 10,000 times in brightness and transmits it to a conventional TV screen has been developed recently by General Electric. When perfected, it may en able medical specialists to perform "long-dis-lance" diagnosis on patients in remote areas. One of the principal men who developed x-ray television called TVX for short is Dr. John E. Jacobs, Manager of the Advanced Develop ment Laboratory of General Electric's X-Ray Department in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Jacobs1 Work Is Important, Responsible ' As an electr'onies specialist, Dr. Jacobs' work in the past has been devoted to the study of photoconduclors substances whose properties change under the influence of radiation and the use of x-ray in industrial inspection. This in turn led to his development of the x-ray-sensitive camera tube used in TVX. His present administrative duties with the Advanced Development Lab allow him more time for teaching others what he has learned. He now teaches the second-year graduate course at Northwestern in vacuum-tube networks, and has recently been named McKay Visiting Pro fessor for 1957 by the University of California at Berkeley, where he will give a two-week scries of lectures on photoconduction. 27,000 College Graduates at General Electric Since his youth, when he was a Jicensed radio "ham," John Jacobs has been devoted to the study of electricity and electronics. Like each of our 27,000 college graduates, he is being given The chance to grow tnd realize his full potential. For General Electric has long be lieved this: when fresh young minds are given Ihe freedom to develop, everybody benefits the individual, the Company, and the country.
