Carpenter Gave Tuition
Bill To 'Create Interest'
State Senator Terry Carpenter
said Thursday that be had intro

double the tuition.
He disclosed this at a debate
sponsored by the University Young
Republicans.
Opposition to the bill was pre
sented by Frar.k Barrett, a law
student at the University.
Carpenter said that the Univer-

Nebraska agriculture is fa a dif

Extension services of the Univer
sity as never before. Chancellor
Clifford M. Hardin said Thursday
evening at Lexington.
He addressed the banquet ses
sion of the annual Dawson Countv
Feeders Day.
The nature of the transition in
which Nebraska afrririiltnrp finrfe
Dr. Hardin said, is reflect-
e& in the continuing shift in
-tetion from the farm,-in-the cotk-
tinued growth in the size of ag -
ricultural units, and in the phe -
nominal increase in irrigation,
The agricultural adjustment, he
said, reveals two important facts,
on a broad front and deal witn single remedy or formula which
a wide range of subjects including will assure the future of Nebraska
plant breeding, marketing, soil and 1 agriculture. For that reason, he

inderstanding and support from
Nebraska's agricultural interests j
both of these objectives would be j
in doubt. i
First, tomorrow 'si farmers will j
have to be even more efficient than
today's. Second, regardless of pr- f
jsonal feelings, Nebraska gricul
sity budget is a "two-edged prob
lem," he said that if the Chancel
lor could not operate the Univer
sity on the amount he Governor
had recommended and the legisla
ture would appropriate no more,
then the money would have to be
raised some where else. Though
he stated that if the tuition were
raised it would undoubtedly leave
many students at home and that,
"I would be he last one to disagree
that anyone that wants an educa
tion can't have it."
Carpenter said that in a state
ment be received from Dr. Hoo
ver, registrar of the University,
he noted that 900 students in the
University are under scholastic
surveillance and that ten per cent
of the students are deficient in
entrance requirements. Carpenter
proposed that these students be
sent back to the local leveL until
they are qualified to attend the
University. Carpenter said, "the
University is not a play house,
students should be down here for
an education."
Barrett stated that' he thought
the bill would not solve this prob
lem, arid that the doubling of tui
tion would not exclude the defi
cient stwients any more than it
would qualified students.
Barrett stated that he felt no de
serving student should be denied
an education because of economic
status. He recommended a gradu
ated income tax to raise additional
University fundj, and said this is
the best tax because those who
have the money pay it, and those
rho don't have it don't pay.
Sen. ' Carpenter said, "111 vote
"oi anything to raise money I'm
ot choosey."
After the debate the Young Re
publicans met and passed a reso
lution declaring their opposition to
LB 410 and stated they were in
favor of increased appropriations
from the Legislature , through
broadened tax base.

Copy Editor
Joseph Dunninger, the Master
Mind whose mental wizardry has
baffled scientists and psychologists
throughout the world, is a native
New Yorker, born and reared in !
the heart of the city. !
Dunninger didn't seem to be an !
extra brilliant pupil in school, but j
he invariably gtt all his arith-
metic croblems correct. Could it I
be that he copied the answers from
bright children seated near him?
His seating place was frequently
changed, but still Joseph's papers
were marked 1 00 per cent.
Dunninger explains it now: "You
see, I just couldn't bet the wrong
answer; I didn't have to work the
problems out. The bright Children j
in the classroom just sent m e
thought waves and ons-quently I
got everything right."
Dunninger has headlined theaters
throughout the world and was in

tairunent. Al the i'e of fifteen he . physical phenomenon that he can

Military Ball Makes Profit
For First
The 1956 Military Ball was the
hist Ball in seven years that has
shown an overall profit, accord
ing to Lieutenant-Commander Don
ald Edge, Officer in charge.
The a' receipts this year were
$3,283.22. while total expenses
amounted to $2,807.16, leaving a
total profit, of S476.06.
In an interview with The Daily
Nebraskan, Commander Edge said,
"Since the year 1950, the Military
Ball has suffered a gradual de-
jeline, financially as well as so-x-
, daily. The 1956 Military Ball was
'.planned with many changes; not
change for the sake of the change,
but change to initiate campus in
terest and return the Ball to THE
prominent occasion of the season."
Some of the changes initiated,
according to Commander Edge
were: entertainment in the form of
two floor shows, procurred at no I economics, is asked to appear at

j Dr. Mitchell was removed from

ment ol agricultural economics
last year and charged that his
academic freedom was violated
in his removal.
These charges, filed formally
with the committee, can be sum
marized as follows: Dr. Mitchell's
writings and speeches were cen
sored by various University offi
cials; this censorship and his sub
sequent removal as department
head were the result of pressures
brought upon the University by
i nersons outside the University and
' false statements made by Uni-

; removal damaged his profession-
