! J ' 1 s ' ' ' i 4 Fags 2 The DaiTy Nebroskon Friday, March 15, 1957 Daily Nebraskan Editorials: Budget Committee Hearing Senator Karl Vogel, chairman of the Unicam eral's budget committee said Wednesday at the hearing en the University's budget that he would be ery glad if the Legislature were able to give this school all the money it needs but "I don't believe conditions warrant it." We are well aware 6f the job the administra tion did with the original budget, trimming items which were not of absolute necessity to the Uni versity. We are all too familiar with Governor Anderson's words that the University officials must "go back and cut" in order that his "hard tack" budget might gain the support of the Uni cara. Chancellor Hardin expressed concern not just for the five critical areas where the budget must face the crisis in higher education salary ad justments, new staff members, University Hos pital, research and added facilities, but also for overburdened staff members at the present time. He reported to the committee that the Uni versity cannot expect faculty members to over burden themselves permanently with huge class es. The average faculty work week Is 51 hoars. ' And the chancellor noted that the school will go to a 10-hour classroom day nest year. The University has presented Its side of the itory. The committee told the University to sug gest places where "reasonable cuts" can be made In the school's budget request. And now the chancellor will submit figures ex-, plaining the proposed budget increases line by line. Sen. Vogel believes that the Budget Commit tee should set the tax budget "low enough so you'll have to increase tuition." Chancellor Hardin expressed to the commmit tee his belief that the state of Nebraska was never more prosperous than in 1955-56. Grant ed that there were a few "problem areas" in the state; the overall picture is sound. We can see no real reason whjr the Univers ity's budget should not be met by the people of Nebraska. We're concerned with the entire problem. We're concerned most of all with the teacher situation. If the top professors which we have here must leave because of more attractive of fers, we are sunk. In the future, superior teachers will shy away from a Uninversity which can't give them an honest wage for their work. So the question is not only one of losing the present instructors but also of Using the potential of attracting new pro fessors. x A proposal has been made in the Student Coun cil that the added funds from last year's tui tion Increase be placed in an emergency fund for faculty salaries. This would mean depriving the student body of the Union addition which has been hoped for these many years. The future of the motion and the results of any action on it are just speculation at the present. However, we hope the Legislature will see the concern which we at the Uninverslty have for our Institution by considering depriving ourselves of a long-awaited Union addition. We don't believe any tuition hike would help the financial crisis at the University to any great extent. But from all indications the poll by the Student Council, primarily the students would be willing to kick in their share toward continu ing the growth of the University. Again we appeal to the citizens of Nebraska to learn about and understand the problems of the University. Only through the support of the majority of Nebraskans can we expect to keep our Uninversity moving forward. Representative Or Practical? The Faculty Senate Committee on Commmit tees has asked the Student Council to "formulate a suitable procedure for nominations" of student representatives on faculty committees. In a let ter to the Council the Committee said "there was some sentiment among the members of the Committee that students serving as voting mem bers of the Senate Committees should represent the entire 6tudent body." Apparently, the Committee is asking the Coun cil to open appointments to faculty committtees to some sort of campus-wide election. The pres ent method is to either appoint members from the Council, or have the Council interview and select applicants to committee positions. The lat ter method is used for the Board of Student Pub lications. If these positions were thrown open to some kind of campus election this screening process would be lost. Instead of being interviewed by a representative of campus governing body candidate for the faculty subcommittees would have to enter the realm of active politicing to be elected. Emphasis would cease to be on abil ity and might tend to shift to personal popular ity and political adaptability. Still, the Committee on Committees has not said it wants these positions open to an all-campus election. However, to elect students who would "represent the entire student body" would take some procedure on a more popular-voting level than the present Council-interview method now in use. A member of Committee on Committees has said the present method used by the Council "was open to criticism." Therefore, the Commit tee would like to see the Council come up with a "more representative" procedure. The Daily Nebraskan, as the medium for stu dent voice, believes it necessary that student members of the faculty committees vote, especially on the Board of Student Publica tions. It should not be necessary, - however, to disrupt the present practical method of choos ing the student representatives. It is quite right to have these students "representative of the students," as it is their function to offer student opinion to these committees. However, it is also necessary that the most qualified persons available hold these posts. It would be foolish to say that the present method is faultless, and it is possible that persons may use the Pub Board and other committees for political or "activity" prestige. The Daily Nebraskan would like to know the feelings of the Committee on Committees regarding this most vital issue. Apparently the return of students' right to vote on faculty committees hinges on the actions of the Com mittee and the Student Council. And on this right to vote rests a strong sup port for good student government.

D fct tea U I 0 - ys " " High School Study Values Examined (ACP) The Jump from high school into college is a rather large one for many of us. It's the final training step for a young person getting ready to make a place for himself in the world. It involves many changes, often re quires residence away from home, new social adjustments .and in many instances a brand new em phasis on study. College requirements are nec essarily strict, and most students find they have to "knuckle down" and "burn the midnight oil" quite a bit longer than they did while attending high school. Many wish they had spent" more time studying in high school so their adjustment to college would be a little easier. Associated Collegiate Press de cided to find out exactly how col legians feel when comparing high school study with college study and asked the following question of a representative national cross section of college students: IF YOU HAD TO DO IT OVER HARDER IN HIGH SCHOOL IN ORDER TO BETTER PREPARE STUDY? The results: Men Women Total Yes 7 53 62 No 31 43 35 Undecided .. .2 4 3 The figures indicate that many college students appear to realize the importance of an adequate high school preparation "after" they enter college. And in addic tion, this realization seems to be more prevalent among the men. The problem of organization of time and study habits is per haps the most important thought in the minds of those students who feel they would indjeed study hard er in high school if they had it to do over again. Many believe harder high school study would make college easier and thus more profitable. Others say that cur riculum changes are needed in high school courses and subjects are worthless. Still others feel that the atmosphere is decidedly dif ferent, that there is no real pres sure on students to study hard in high school. Here are a few typical remarks. A sophomore coed at Christian College (Columbia, Mo.) states matter - of - factly that she came from a school where we did more partying than studying." But one of her classmates puts it this way: "I see now how little work it would ha a taken to make good grades compared to the work I do in col lege." A Long Beach City College (Long Beach, Calif.) freshman co ed feels, along with many other collegians, that "it is harder to study in high school as not every one is studying. In college it is easier to study as everyone is in the same general environment." Some students feel there is no need for harder study in high school. Some noted the difference in study habits between the two levels, but feel nothing can be done about it, for example a sen ior coed at Michigan State Uni versity (East Lansing) has this to say: "In college you have a study atmosphere which is dif ferent from that of high school. It's something you just have to learn in college." Others think high school was too much fun for studying. Some feel that there is really not too much difference between high school and college. Yet others think the change is so great that students have to start all over any way. Here are a few typical com ments. "I had too much fun in high school," is the feeling of a junior at Southern Oregon College, and a freshman at Villanova Uni versity (Villanova, Pa.) says: "I think if I had studied harder I would have missed alot." A fresh man at Wesleyan University (Mld dletown, Conn.) however, fells that it was no use studying harder in high school because "the things I lack were not even taught in high school." And a not inconsiderable amount of sentiment is reprent ed'by the statement of a Northern sophomore coed who says: "I studied as hard as I could." If s ileal iy uife A Mess Ron Warholoskl One year ago, Russia declared war on the U. S. an industrial war. ' ' Marching up and down the Near East, Far East and Europe, wav ing five-year plans, the advance patrols of the Soviets offered to buy, sell and swap. Their goal was plain destroy capitalism by outproducing the U, S. and capturing its markets and potential friends in under developed lands. Last week it was evident .that someone in the gilted Kremlin had "boo-booed". The promises made by the traveling salesmen, in be tween vodka toasts, weren't being kept. Under the Soviet Mark I pro gram (has anyone heard of the U. S. Point 4 Program), Yugo slavia was promised by the big gest traveling salesmen of them all, Nikita Khrushchev, about 250 million dollars in aid. Results? no, regrets. Indonesia is still pacing the floor waiting for the promised industrial installations. Burma will lose millions in her rice for cement deal. It's apparent that the latest Five Year plan and the Mark I plan are both wheezing and shuddering along. In fact, Mikhail Percukhin, Kremlin lord of economics, bluntly told the Supreme Soviet that the Five Year plan was going to be drastically revised downward. And it was. What happened? Hungary and Poland "happened". Nebraskan Letterips To the Editor: A faculty member who is willing to admit that maybe he and his fellow travelers aren't always right is a joy to have around. So I'd like to compliment the man (or woman) who wrote to your paper about the evaluation bit you have been batting about for the past few weeks. I know of at least three courses and could name specific teachers who sure need to be evaluated. I feel that the University has a responsibility to the student body to give us top teachers. Whether the. big boys can or not is a ques tion of funds, I suppose. But then we shouldn't have to pay for bad teaching, I'm not just talking about a point I feel; I've talked with a number ItlTTIC MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick BibUr l'pay fees fc " 'TUITION WfcNT Ut A5AlN THISVEAK.

I only hope that the Univer sity will ask the departments to examine themselves before we de mand a Senate Investigation of the conditions around here. No, I wouldn't go that far; I just hope the department bosses can see the value of the system as you have proposed it (or have you?). For the instructor who wants to improve his course, the faculty member indicates, will find the reactions of the students helpful. And the instructor who doesn't want to improve the course doesn't have any business taking our tax money away. ( I can't complain too much- about the teaching n this university. I do feel some study should be made, however, of the existing conditions. But in conclusion I be lieve that if a student is really interested in the teaching condi tions, he will speak with the de partment chairmen and seek some positive action. Action, not words. Rationale And, the Soviet Union had to unload $100 million in gold in European markets to pay for West ern currency used to buy Western goods which were used oy Rus sians. Complicated? it's obvious -that somewhere, there's something basically wrong. Russia's complete concentration cn heavy industrial goods after the war is what's the matter. She made no attempt to adjust her economy to the production of both industrial and consumer goods and now that economic distortion is catching up with her. No one should think that we've won the economic war. About all Russia's retreat means is that they're pulling back to see if they can't shape up the home front. If they come back, and if they can, they will, 'they will come out awing ing.
