Leon Lishner (right), director
of the University Opera workshop
production of "Figaro", stresses
Wednesday:
Players To
Mozart's 'Marriage Of Figarro'
Double-casting will be a feature
of the University of Nebraska op
era workshop production of "The
Marriage of Figaro" opening
Wednesday.
The workshop program will be
sight on my part. It simply didn't
occur to me to notify the sub-com-ir.
ttees," Colbert said.
The action is no reflection on
the help given by the student rep
resentatives. We have welcomed
their opinions and ideas and hope
that they will keep giving them,"
Colbert continued.
. When asked if the Faculty Senate
might be induced to return voting
privileges to the students Colbert
answered, "I am not going to com
ment because I dont know what the
opinion of the Senate is at present.
However, I do think that support
could be found in the Senate for
returning voting privileges to the
students."
Professor James Blackman, Sec
retary of the Faculty Senate, said
that is was his duty to notify the
Student Council and the various
committees affected by the reso
lution. Blackman said, "The Student
Council was not notified of the reso
lution through an error on my part.
However, they knew of the deci
sion of the Faculty Senate because
they called twice about it.
Blackman stated that the Senate
had passed a resolution in 1953
which granted student representa
tives the right to vote as an experi
ment. The experiment was contin
ued by a second resolution in 1954
because it was felt that "the stu
dents were doing a good job."
Previous to the two- resolutions,
faculty members of the commit
tees with student representation
had acted at their own volition iD
granting voting privileges to the
students. In the absence of any
specific legislation on the matter,
students had continued to bold the
power to vote until Colberts di
rective to the Publications Board.
The committers with student
representatives which are affect
ed by the resoltuion are the Senate
Calendar Committee, with two stu
dent members; the Commencement
Committee, with two student mem
bers; the Committee on Semester
Examinations, two student mem
bers; and the Senate Committee;
on Student Affairs, subcommittees
on General Organizations, which
has two student members; Social
Affairs, two student members, and
Student Publications, three student
members.

A bill to raise tuition rates at
the University and the four state
teachers colleges has been intro
duced in the Legislature by Sen.
Terry Carpenter.
Carpenter said the bill would di
rect tuition boosts large enough to
make up all the money asked by
the schools but not recommended
by Gov. Victor Anderson.
Anderson recommended $3.2 mil
lion of the $5.5 million increase
the University asked. The four
teachers colleges will receive
$300,000 of the $1.5 million in
crease they requested if the gov
ernor's budget is adopted.
Senator Carpenter's bill would
make tuition at the University $360
and $180 per semester for out oi
state and Nebraska 'students re
spectively. The bill would double
the present tuition of $180 and $90
which students now pay at the
University and the tuition at the
Teachers College would also be
doubled, from $60 to $120 per se
mester. Carpenter said his bill would di
rect the rates to b the same at
the University and the Teachers
Colleges.
Tuition at these schools should
be high enough to encourage some
students to attend church colleges
in the state, Carpenter sard. Tui
tion at the private schools is now
higher than at the taxsupported
institutions.
Carpenter said church colleges
in the state could absorb about
2,500 more students with existing
facilities.
The University Regents are op
posed to action by the Legislature
that would drastically increase
the tuition at the University.
The Regents, meeting in regular
session Saturday, took no forma
action on tuition hikes, but the
committee which has been ap
pointed to study the matter did
convene following the meeting.
"egent Clarence Swanson Mon
day said that this committee
would make a complete study o?
the proposed bill within the next
ten days, and concurred with Re
gent Frank Elliott's earlier state
ment that if the tuition is to bp
doubled, the Legislature, and not
the Regents, is going to have tc
do it.

if action is going to be taken, it

by the Regents and not by the
