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.

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."

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

of other students in a course I'm
taking who feel the exact same
way I do about the quality of in
struction with , a certain . depart
ment. 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. ' This was only the first round and
it promises to be a snorting fifteen
rounder with the stakes a lot
more than a purse and a title.
