CT3 O mm O f By GEORGE MOYER Copy Editor The Unicameral budget com mittee discussed raising tuition at the University by as much per year as $30 at an open meeting at the statehouse Thursday. Chancellor Clifford Hardin said, The "maximum amount" that tuition could b raised at the Uni versity without affecting enroll ment would be about $30. Senator John Beaver asked Dr. Hardin, "If some of these items like adjustment to a 40 hour week, enlargement of the agricultural extension program and so forth were cut off the budget, and the repair of facilities was added to the building levy, could you then adjust tuition to make up the dif ference between the $3.2 million increase the governor has offered and the remainder of the $5.5 million increase that you request ed?" ' Hardin said that raising the tui tion by $30 would give the Uni versity a maximum of approxi mately a million dollars. This would bring the budget Increase to a total of 4.2 million dollars. Senator McHenry asked, "Will the regents raise tuition or will we (the legislature) have to?" Hardin replied that "The re gents have considered it but we haven't been able to nail down a figure. Previously, it has been the proper function of the regents to regulate tuition, but I certainly think the legislature has the right to instruct the regents." When McHenry asked "You'd like to see them keep it that way wouldn't you?" the Chancellor an swered, "Yes, I would." Senator Karl Vogel, chairman of the committee, said, "This brings up the question of whether the legislature should take over this function which up to now has been an administrative one." Hardin reviewed the priorities of the 1957-59 budget for the com mittee. The chancellor indicated that the budget recommended by Governor Victor Anderson will cover salary increases on a merit basis for staff members, take care of fixed costs such as alncreased social security contributions, in creased retirement stipends, in creased utilities for new buildings and additional work at the Alli ance and Northeast Nebraska Ex periment Stations. Hardin also stated that if tui tion was raised, the money gained from it would be utilized to hire additional faculty. Hardin said, "II a raise in tuition is going to come it should be used for the teaching program adding to the staff." The three areas that would be hardest hit In the proposed cut of Hardin's request for a 5.5 million dollar increase to the 3.2 million dollars suggested by the governor would be the program to add to the faculty, the medical college hospital and the agricultural ex tension and experiment service. "I am terribly concerned about this hospital thing. With this cut we wouldn't be able to operate the hospital in all its wards," Har din continued. Hardin also told the senators that the proposed two million dol lar increase In salaries Is conser vative. "The competition from other institutions is greater than we thought. We should really have more to compete with them oa their own level." According to evidence presented by Hardin to the committee, the University's present tuition of $180 a year is about the averse tui tion for this area. Colorado and Kansas charge slightly less than this figure while the University of Iowa and Iowa State College are slightly above this.

The chancellor told members of the Student Council Wednesday that he favors a method of select ing student representatives on fac ulty committees which meets the approval of the whole student body. Regarding student evaluation, of teachers Hardin said that he would be in favor of such a system if It weren't a "popularity contest" and contributed something "construc tive" to the professors. While discussing teacher evalua tion, Hardin mentioned that be had used the system at Michigan State, and had found it "very helpful." He explained that at Michigan State students filled out forms which became the property of the individual professor.

College Health Day: Risk Of Polio Reduced By Salic Vaccination The importance of a Salk vac cination for every man, woman and child in Nebraska was stres sed Thursday afternoon. A medical researcher said the vaccine is effective in reducing the risk of polio, although it has no major effect in reducing the degree of transmission of the polio virus from one human to another. Dr. Herbert Wenner, research professor at Kansas University, spoke at the University's College Health Day on "The Great Strug gle: You VS. Viruses." Discussing polio, he said that "When the infection occurs in vac cinated individuals, the antibody rise quickly provides a blockade of the virus." But, he added, this blockade has no effect whatsoever on the ca pacity of the infected individual "to 'excrete polio virus in fecal dis charges." When this happens in a popula tion susceptible to polio, there is a spread of the virus, Dr. Wen ner said.' He said it is clear that polio vaccination, "although primarily concerned with abolishing the risk of paralysis, looks toward the oc currence of natural infections as a way to keep the immunity of the individual in the hyper-reactive state." Dr. Wenner said there is still a division of -opinion on how to most successfully immunize against pol io: with inactive virus, as is found in the Salk vaccine, or with active virus. Some believe he pointed, out, that immunization based on use of ac tive virus would be more likely to induce a more enduring, as well as a more solid immunity against polio. "Immunity acquired naturally in such diseases as measles, mumps, and yellow fever in man appears to be more solid and enduring than induced immunity." On the other hand, Dr. Wenner pointed out, illnesses following in fection with respiratory viruses convey less solid immunity and reinfections occur. Some medical men believe that immunity following natural infec tion is better than induced because of the swifter response during the course of reinfection. Dr. Salk's answer, Dr. Wenner said, is that it is possible to induce a similar itate cf readiness with Annual Elections: Arneson Selected President Of IPC Dick Arneson, junior in Business Administration and a member of Delta Tau Delta, was elected presi dent of the IFC Wednesday night at a regularly scheduled Council meeting.

The finalists will be pre sented at the first performance of the Kosmet Klub show, and "Miss Cornhusker" will be crowned at the second performance by Shari Lewis. inactive vurus. Dr. Salk believes that the triggering of the antibody mechanism will occur just as rap idly after the use of inactivated virus vaccines. "Another reason for using active virus vaccines," Dr. Wenner ex plained, "is to reduce the risk of virus dissemination through dis charge of virus in fecal contents." Dr. Wenner's visit to the cam pus is sponsored by the University Health Services. - ' ,5V rtri Sterling Professor: Miehuhr To ontgomery Talks Dr. H. R.

Committee: Senate To Study NU Space The appointment of a committee to study the ways and means of securing fullest possible utilization of classroom and laboratory space has been appointed and their names will be released today, ac cording to A. C. Beckenridge, Dean of Faculties. The Faculty Senate, meeting In a special session Tuesday, passed b motion by Dr. Harry Weaver, chairman of the faculty liasoa committee, authorizing the chan cellor to appoint this committee. The Senate's plan calls for con sideration of the classroom space problem in the following order. First,. make sure that all avail able space is fully used between the hours of 8 a.m. and noon and between 1 p.m. and 5 p.m.' Second, if full use of space dur ing those hours is found inadequate to serve the University's enroll ment, then consider scheduling classes during the noon hour; next from 7 to 8 a.m. and finally be tween 7 and 10 p.m. Chancellor Clifford Hardin said following the meeting, "This is the best system. It will create the least amount of trouble. The situa tion won't be too serious for two years but something like this may be needed the third year because we won't have the necessary class room space." The urgency of finding addition al space pending further develop ment, of the University's building program, tne unanceiior saia, is emphasized by a report from Dr. Floyd Hoover, University regis trar. The report declares that unless prompt action is taken the Uni versity will have "upwards of 2, 000 more students within the next three years with no place to put them." The Montgomery Lectureship oa Contemporary Civilization was es tablished in 1946 from the income of the James Henry Montgomery Memorial, an endowment given to the University in 1941 in the Ora Clair Montgomery Estate. The lectureship is designed to generate constructive thought on contemporary problems.
