"The University will get not a
quarter more than ' the governor
recommended, and probably con
siderably less," Senator Terry Car
penter said Tuesday at a legislat
ive hearing on tuition rates.
The Education Committee of
the Legislature took no action,
however, as chairman Don Thomp
son was absent.
Senator Terry Carpenter, the in
troducer of the bills, presented
arguments in favor of the bills, and
Frank Barrett, University law stu
dent, headed the opposition, which
was composed mainly of Univer
sity students.
Sen. Carpenter said that we of
the state of Nebraska are confront
ed with' the problem of looking
upon education as the responsibil
ity of the people of our state.
"It is not," he stated. "It is high
time" for attention to be called
to this, and for it to be corrected,
he said,
Sen. Carpenter stated that he
felt the 43 legislators agree with
the governor's recommendation as
to the amount to be appropriated
to the University by the state.
The Senator commented that
Chancellor Hardin said he could
not operate the University on funds
the Governor recommended. Car
penter said his bill, LB 410, would
make up the balance between what
the Governor recommended and
the Chancellor requested, and
that the students woula meet this
balance with the" proposed raise
in tuition.
"My purpose," Carpenter stat
ed, "is to alert the state to the
things ... . which we are con
cerned . , .and that is our chil
dren." 1
He said the state now shows a
lack of good faith and understand
ing of problems involved.
Chancellor Hardin said the Uni
versity is entering a critical pe
riod, and that the proposed in
crease might be out of harmony
with the basic concept of a land
grant college.
He stated the bill would actually
increase the effective tuition 150
per cent commenting that only $60
of the $90 resident students now
pay goes to the University in that
academic sense, that the rest goes
for fees of the - Union, Student
Health, and the student paper
Dave Keene, a sophomore in law,
and a representative to student
council, presented the results of a
survey the student council made on
the effect a tuition raise would
have on students. He brought out
these facts:
Out of 4,268 students reached in
the survey, 2827 were working and
financing all or part of their educa
tion. Of this same number 1316
were entirely self supporting, and
paid all their education expenses
by working.
The opposition to the bill to raise
the tuition was mostly composed
of students. Senator Carpenter stat
ed that "younger people do not
understand the legislature . . .
they have an idealistic viewpoint.'
He added that at times he didn't
understand it himself.
Barrett stated that with the pro
posed tuition increase, "we could
have the nicest campus, the nic
est buildings, the best faculty in
the country, but if we don't have
students we might as well plant
it in corn."

Breckenridge Tells
Points On Tuition
if
The dean of faculties at the
University Tuesday evening raised
two points which he said are in
volved in the decision of raising
tuition.
Speaking be
fore the Insur
ance Institute
of Nebraska,
Dean A. C.
ex
plained that
up to this time
the field of
tuition has
been "a mat

mined by the Borad of Regents,"
and not by the Legislature.
Referring to the legislative com
mittee hearing held Tuesday after
noon on a bill doubling the tuition,
Dean Breckenridge said that re
gardless of the decision these
must be considered:
1. "The .University is a public
institution. It is committed to a
policy of keeping the opportunity
for higher education ;thm the
financial reach of. as jtfuiy stu
dents as possible regardless of
their financial means. We do not
know how high tuition and fee
charges can go before the oppor
tunity to attend the University is
placed beyond the reach of many
students."
He added that the University's
tuition charges "are almost on a
par with the charges of similar
schools in our region."
(At present, the resident tuition
charge is $60 and the fee charges,
$30, making a total of $90. The
non-resident tuition and fee
charges are double.)
2. "A conclusion should not be
reached that this means a plateau
in University expenditures. As our
enrollment rises and continues to
rise until eight or 10 years from
now when our present enrollment
will be nearly double you can
suspect that a substantial increase
in funds will be needed. Will Ne
brsaka again attempt to provide
funds by splitting the needed in
crease between state and stu
dent" He added that there is nothing
to be gained by pretending that
the development in higher educa
tion will go away "if we ignore
it."
"Is there anything really bad
about more capable young people
wanting to participate in the fruits
of higher education? It there any
thing wroii with systems of busi
ness, industry, government and ag
riculture, which want and insist
upon having educated people?" he
asked.
Dean Breckenridge pointed out
that the public should not think
of financing education as a charity
operation.
"The taxpayer is not giving
something not in the sense of
charity. The college education is
now an indispensable part of
American life. Into it must go a
portion of our financial resources.
"There can be no other choice,
for it represents perhaps the most
important investment we can
make for the present and future
health and strength of our so
ciety," Dean Breckenridge con
cluded. Student Vote:
Colbert
Asses'
J. P. Colbert, Dean of Student
Affairs, announced that he has
passed on the Student Council
resolution asking that the Faculty
Senate restore voting privileges to
student members of faculty com
mittee to Dr. D. W. Dysinger,
chairman of the committee on
committees.
Colbert said that this was stand
ard administrative procedure. Ac
cording to Colbert, the resolution
came too late to be put on the
agenda of Tuesday's Faculty Sen
ate Meeting.
The Student Council passed the
resolution last Wednesday. The
action was taken after Colbert
pointed out, in a formal letter to
the faculty committees with stu
dent members last Jan. 17, that a
Dec. 13, 1955 Senate resolution re
moved the right for students to
vote on faculty committees.

she claimed.
Dr. .Havice said that the move
to give tht independent student
more of a voice in campus affairs
must come from the Greek houses.
On the question of student gov
ernment at the University, Dr.
Havice commented that many stu
dents seem to feel that student
government here is only a token
(gesture) that the students do not
have any real power.
She pointed out that student
government was originally an idea

she said. "They exist on all cam

according to Captain Orrin
Graves, head of traffic enforce
ment. Instead of the former double
parking, the Lincoln Police are
currently charging guilty students
with "stopping a car in such a
manner as to interfere with the
lawful use of the street." Graves
stated that the fine for such an
offense is from $1 to $100 and
costs.
"The assessed fine is ' usually
$5 and costs ($3.60)," Graves ex
plained. Graves said that most of the
congestion occurs on Friday and
Saturday nights when students
are bringing their dates back to
the . girl's dormitory and sorority
houses.
According to Graves the Police
Department "was not getting any
where" with the double parking
fine of $1 and thus the charge
was changed in an effort to alle
viate the problem.
"Some students think it's all
right to double park," Graves ex
plained. "Sometimes the street is com
pletely blocked," Graves added.
Graves stated that he has been
receiving calls from local citizens
complaining about the undue con
gestion on 16th street between R
and Vine Streets.
"Two or three students are fined
every day" because of such double
parking, Graves stated.

Dr. G. O. Thompson stated that
one of the major problems he had
found at the University was the
activity point system which places
a greater emphasis on the point
than the value of activity.
He felt that University students
show a fine interest in what he
termed "the finer things in life",
but he feared that "students be
come so absorbed in activities
that God is crowded out of their
lives.
"If I were a student again", he
said, "I would take a few min
utes out of each day for simple
meditation, withdrawing into my
self for a while."
Dr. Thompson thought that the
religious leaders on campus were
of "fine quality".
