The matter will be discussed at special meeting of the Univer sity Senate on Tuesday. Urgency of finding additional apace pending further develop ment of the University's building program, the Chancellor said, is emphasized by a report from Dr. Floyd Hoover, University regis trar. The report declares that unless prompt action is taken the Uni versity wil have "upwards of 2,- 000 more students within the pext three years with no place to put them." Dr. Hoover said that "everytime ur enrollment increases by 500 students we must find, on an average, 20 or more rooms to be used anywhere from 10 to 20 hours a week." Classrooms in Andrews hall, one f the principal teaching buildings on the Lincoln City campus, are cow being used from 80 to 91 per cent of the time, based on a 44 hour week, and Dr. Hoover said that pressure for space is also serious in Social Sciences hall and in the engineering laboratories in Bancroft hall. Chancellor Hardin said he be lieves that some extension of the classroom day is inevitable but that such action will increase the need for additional staff and can not be expected to materially re duce the University's immediate need for additional buildings. Next Week: Lecturers To Visit University Two lecturers an Italian translator-poet and the director of the Hispanic Foundation of the Li brarv of -Congress will visit the University campus this week Prof. Alfredo Rizzardi of Bolog na, Italy, will deliver a public lecture Monday, at 11 a.m. in the Love Library auditorium, on 'American Literature in Italy."

All's Changed: Prediction Says Good Weather All the rain, snow and colder weather that the Weather Bureau had predicted for Friday and Sat urday have been called off. Instead of any general rains, the bureau said that the p r e c i p i t a- tion would be confined to the extreme south eastern porti on . of t b e state. Origi n a 1 1 y the prediction said that the entire state would experience a fast drop in temperatures which would result in either rain or snow. In the changed prediction, the temperatures are expected to reg ister a mild 40 to'50 degrees. This is considerably above what previ ously had been expected for the weekend. The skies will be only slightly cloudy with the south and southeastern sections having more overcast than the rest of the state.

NUCWA Mock Legislature: By ART BLACKMAN Copy Editor The five candidates for Gover nor of the Mock Legislative Ses sion sponsored by NUCWA, have expressed their platforms to The Daily Nebraskan. The elections for the officers of the Session will be held Tuesday in the Union from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. John Nelson John Nelson, Innocents, presi dent of Corn Cobs, Secretary of Kcsmet Klub, CCRC, and a sen- ir in .Arts and Sciences, stated, "I believe in a conservative, re publican form of state govern ment, with no federal interven- t'on in those areas reserved for tne state. If elected, I would pro mote economy and efficiency at au levels. . , Nelson stated that he was in favor of "Maintenance-of taxes at the status quo for the next bi- ernium; a Highway Department budget which, in addition to out state highway program, will pro vide for the matching of federal funds for the interstate' higiway programs.

Last Thursday the staff at KNUS began a move that had been in the planning stage for only three weeks. Bill Ramsey, station engineer, NormTrancis and'Bob'Pylc, spent from 8 p.m. Thursday to 7 p.m. Friday, moving platforms, chang. ing wires and making adjustments necessary for the station facelift, ing. This reorganization in the basement of Temple building was one of both- expansion and condens ation. Without acquiring any extra space, this new arrangement has increased the number of studios at the station from two to three. Now, while the station is on the air from the broadcasting room, two other studios can be used simultaneously for tape recording some of the many other KNUS programs. The broadcasting studio, a small room about ten feet square is ar ranged now so the disc jockey faces a large window. On the other side of this plate of glass is a large room which can either be used for a class room or as a broadcasting studio. During a regular program, the news commentator sits in this room where he can see the disc jockey's signal to go on the air, thus eliminating the middle man who had to call signals before when the disc jockey was facing a blank wall. All the KNUS offices have been rearranged. Station manager Lee Rockwell and program director unless it is voluntary on the pirt of the students, and any ac tion of this sort should remain in the hands of the Regents; trans ferring the Union building fund to salary increases thereby wreck ing a long term project in fa vor of a temporary, insufficient remedy for low salaries. Increasing our present number of state senators, and lowering the voting age from 2 to lOears of age are other of Nelson's views. "I have always held this view that eighteen-year-olds are physically and mentally capable of carrying arms, but they are rarely ready to vote intelligently," Nelson stated. Janice Larsea Janice Larson, Phi Upsilon Omicron, President of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, Pan Hellenic Coun cil delegate and a junior in Agri culture, stated she is in favor of State Income and Sales Tax to take some of the expenses of the stfJte from the property owners. Miss Larsen added that these taxes would enable the state to pay higher teachers salaries, to have better roads and highways- aM a more adaptable education- Dairy Contesf All students interest: in a show ing in the Dairy Royal Showman ship contest can sign up in the Dairy Industry Building, Room 208, between 8 a.m. Monday and 1 p.m. Wednesday, according to Terry Howard, varsity dairy club mem ber.

LINCOLN, NEBRASKA Courtesy Lincoln Journal casts every afternoon, providing news, music and sports designed especially for the University students. Chunk Patrick share a small white washed office that is the heart of the KNUS operation. A small cubbyhole tucked behind another office houses both the record li brary and newsroom. Here a soundproofed United Press wire machine shares the floor with a collection of about 5,000 musical selections. This record library is presently being recatalogued by librarian Steve Hansen to simplify record selec tions for hurried disc jockeys. Two large rooms can serve either for classrooms or for more production. A third office is used by continuity director Dixie Helms, traffic director Gladys Evans and promotion director Sandy Reimers. KNUS, with its staff of about 35 students under Lee Rockwell's di rection is presently engaged in numerous broadcasting areas other than its regular eight-hour campus broadcasts. "Is This Your. Town?" series is sent out to five Nebraska radio sta tions. Fourteen stations broadcast the taped "Farm Facts and Fun" scries, which is done in connec tion with the University Agricul tural Extension division. A crop improvement program taped by KNUS goes out to ten Nebraska radio stations. Sound effects for all University Theater effects are recorded in the Temple basement studio.

Miss Larsen said she was op posed to higher tuition for state colleges and the University and opposed to "the political merry-gt-round which is comprehended only by the politicians. This state is run too much by politicians and to little by thinking men!" Dave Mossman Dave Mossman, AUF Board, Student Council, Kosrnet Klub, member of Phi Delta Theta and a junior in Teacher's College stated that he was in favor of the er.tire University budget increase being passed by the Unicameral. Mossman also indorsed vot ing at eighteen years.of. age provided there was adequate instruction given to the voters be fore they could vote. This could be done through the high-schools by setting up courses on current events and basic governmental pol icy. The University could also set up similar courses for freshmen. Mossman is also in favor of changing the activity setup at ,he University so that the func tions of many of the activities would not overlap each other as many of them do now.

They will decide what procedure to use before the committee, which meets March 28, according to the chancellor. Earlier Hardin presented the proposed University budget to a special legislative hearing March 13 and obtained results identical to those of the appearance before -Governor Anderson. Senator Vogel had told the Chan cellor t "go over and have your men make substantial cuts. If you don't we'll have to. If the time was right, we'd give you everything you asked for, and maybe more." In the budget it called for a salary increase to the present staff of $2,484,292 and $833,031 for the hiring of additional teachers.

Pollock is . against the bill to allow 18.year.olds the right to vote. "I believe the average 18-year-old in college is mature enough to vote wisely," Pollock says, "but the average 18-year-ok1 in Nebraska is not. Ttis bill iffects the 18-year-olds but once; it affects the state for on unlimited period. In addition, the 18-year-olds have no legal ob ligations such as personal and property taxes until they're 21." "Since University students sup p.y a large amount of revenue for local merchants I recommend that the University and local merchants establish a planning commission to study the campus parking problem, and establish ment of a comprehensive place ment system for University gradu ates, as is presently done in Kan sas. Pollock supports establishment of a state-wide coordinating commit tee to bring industry to the state. "Right now each community is competitively trying to lure indus tries to their individual localities but none benefit the state overall by their individual unconcerted ac tions," Pollock said. Pollock advocates promo motion of state instead of underselling it as many, do. Ne maska could attract more reve nue with improved fishing and game areas.
