religious problems can be shared
and solved, and to coordinate and
facilitate the religious programs in
the houses, Hargleroad said.
The tentative program calls for
weekly meetings throughout the
remainder of the school year.
Hargleroad said the student pas
tors of the University had en
dorsed the program and will at
tend the meetings to act as re
source leaders.
The group will begin by discuss
ing the problems "How not to of
fend a member's faith in our deal
ing with religion in the house,"
"How to get members to think in
terms of religion in their everyday
life," "How to maintain and
promote a truly Christian environ
ment in your house' and many
others that will be formulated
later.
The first meeting of the organ
ization will be held Thursday night

Staff Reporter
Governor Victor Anderson ex
pressed confidence ' Tuesday that
the legislature "will make an ef
fort" to bring the University budg
et increase up to his 3.2 million
dollar budget recommendation.
This was Governor Anderson's
belief when contacted by the Daily
Nebraskan in regard to the Legis
lative Budget Committee's report
ed cut of one million dollars from
his 3.2 million dollar recommenda
tion. !
)riginally the . University had
requested a 5.5 miBion dollar in
crease over the amount appropria
ted for the 1955-57 biennium.
Governor Anderson stated that
the Budget Committee had report
ed to him a cut that would not ex
ceed the necessary amount to
cover salary increases for the
present staff, which would be 2.2
million dollars.
Beyond that it is not definitely
known how much the committee
has cut. "Since the staff is the
backbone of any university, it was
my primary interest to see that the
present staff, receive a salary in
crease," stated the governor.
He went on to say that he does
not know the feeling of the legis
lature on this subject. "They have
not taken any position and prob
ably will not until they have the

When asked if he intended to

is not my responsibility to fight
it. The 'law provides that I make

Julius Stone:
Soviet Aggression Test
Unacceptable To World
An Australian professor of inter
national law sees the Soviet Un
ion's insistence on a rule-of-thumb
test for aggression as a political
campaign to further interests that
are by no means those of man
kind as a whole.
Dr. Julius Stone of University
of Sydney, delivered Tuesday eve
ning the second of a series of
thjjee Roscoe Pound lectures at
the University.
"The zealous promotion of defini
tions may not always mean any
great love of these ideals," he
asserted, "just as opposition to
definition does pot mean any lack
of love."
The United States, he pointed
out, is opposed to the enterprise
of definition.
He particularly questions the
clause of the Soviet's proposed,
definition, which declares that na
tion an aggressor Wiiich commits
the act of:
"Landing or leading of its land,
sea or air force inside the boun
daries of another State without the
permission of the government of
the latter, or the violation of the
conditions of such permission, par
ticularly as regards the length of
their stay or the extent of the area
in which they may stay."
Dr. Stone said: '
"As between movement of NATO
Forces in NATO countries, and
those of Warsaw Pact countries,
this category of aggressions seems
fair and sensible on its face."
But, he said, it is in the satel
lites, so important for Soviet de
fensive and offensive powers,
where struggles are most likely
to arise between two governments,
one puppet and one not. 1
Dr. Stone explained that when
the Soviet's definition was drafted
Soviet troops were present with
the permission of the government
concerned, "that government be
ing acceptable to, if not dominat
ed by, the Soviet Union.
"By swallowing this part of the
Soviet definition, therefore, the
Powers would give their blessing
to Soviet military domination of
these countries.
"They also would brand in ad
Budget Committee stated, "The
University is not being cut; they're
being raised. They always talk
about being cut. Every session
since 1947, they've had an in
crease." "Progress is being made at the
University," said the governor,
"they've' received an increase each
year." "This years proposed in
crease is one of the largest in the
school's history."
According to the Lincoln Jour
nal the committee said it had rea
sons for cutting the school's re
quest and had used a formula to
Committee Report;
The Faculty Senate tabled a mo
tion by Donald Dysinger, cnair
man of the Committee on Com'
mittees which was presented to
the Senate at their meeting on
Tuesday. '
The recommendations included:
(1) The Committee on Stu
dent Affairs be dropped as a
Senate Committee and be re
constituted as a University
Committee on Student Affairs,
in accordance with the By-Laws
and Rules of the Board of Re
gents, (2) The present committees
on Commencement and Honors
Convocation be dropped as Sen
ate Committees and be reorgan
ized al a University Committee.
(3) The Senate Committee on
Committees be required to de
fine to the Chancellor, on his
request, the areas of responsibili
ty of these University commit
tees as well as the member
ship of each; and make nomin
ations of faculty members to
fill vacancies on such commit
tees in the same manner as
Senate committees.
(4) These University Commit
tees shall be directly responsible
.to the Chancellor, but shall make
an annual report to the Univer
sity Senate for informational
purposes.
(5) On those University Com
mittees which deal with Student
matters, the students should be
allowed to vote.
Miller said, 'More is involved
vance as the crime of aggression,
the only recourse that might some
day be open to themselves for as
sisting peoples held down by So
viet forces, after the clear over
throw by the people concerned of
the Soviet-supported regime."
In conclusion, Dr. Stone asked:
"Why should Western countries
condemn themselves in advance
as aggressors if they should ever
decide to aid peoples who have
clearly rejected a Government,
which then is kept in office by
the naked power of Soviet arms."
Dr. Stone, who is now visiting
professor at Harvard University,
will deliver the final lecture, "The
Aggression Notion and the Future
of Peace Enforcement," Wednes
day at 8 p.m. in the Love Library
auditorium.
The public is invited to the lec
tures, sponsored by the College
of Law and members of the Pound
Lectureship Committee.

NU Lectures
Two noted lectures, Miss Mari
Sandoz and Dr. Van Overbeck, are
scheduled to give talks at the Uni
versity Wenesday and Thursday.
Miss Sandoz, a Nebraska-born
author, will speak on "The Indians
of the High Plains" at the annual
joint dinner meeting of Sigma Xi
and Phi Beta Kappa to be held
Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. in the
Union ballroom.
Members and non-members may
attend the $1.50 per plate dinner.
Reservations should be made with
either Professor McCashland, 108
Temporary C, or Professor Van
dersall, 209 Andrews Hall.
Dr. Overbeck, will give a public
lecture on Thursday at 7:80 p.m.
in Bessey Hall Auditorium on
"Plant Hormones in Agriculture."
He is an authority on plant hor
mones and is head of the plant
physiology department of the Agri
cultural Research division of Shell
Development .Company, Modesto,
California.
Ity S
guide it in trimming the gover
nor's recommendation. He added
that the Budget Committee had
more time than he to review budg
et requests tnd he had no idea of
what the formula consisted.
Early in the year, the Univer
sity had indicated that it might go
to the floor in its fight for mora
funds if the Budget Committee ac
tion was unsatisfactory.
Should the tentative committee
report prove final, a stiff floor
fight for at least the 3.2 million
dollar figure recommended by the
governor will develop, the Lincoln
oof
ffH
than is apparent and more timt
should be devoted, to discussion
and exchange of ideas."
After the motion was tabled, sev
eral professors commented in the
discussion that the students should
be allowed to vote on the Commit
tees. Herbert Davis Professor of Dairy
Husbandry, "it has been noted in
the past that general relations be-"
tween the Faculty and students
has not been what one would de
sire. This is due, in my estimation,
in part, to the vote situation on
the Committees. Students on com
mittees right now have the same
status as second class citizens.
This should be remedied."
Robert Knoll, Ass. Professor of
English commented, "The last few
years the students have been in
valuable on the Subcommittee on
Student Publications of which I
am Cr air man. They definite
ly should be allowed to vote."
Ruth Levinson, Asst. Professor
of Physical Education, while com
menting that students should be
given the vote, added this rec
ommendation, that the Student
Council designate just one per
son for the Committee and have
the Council responsible for that
person. "The Chancellor shouldn't
be shouldered with the responsibil
ity of choosing alone," she added.
Also presented to the Senate was
the report of Marjorie Johnston,
chairman of the Committee on
General Scholarship Awards.
She reported that in the academ
ic year of 1956-57, 492 scholarships
had been granted, totaling $55,
673, which "was $11,980 more than
last years scholarships.
Three hundred Regents scholar
ships to Freshmen were granted.
Seventy-eight Donors Scholar
Scholarships to upperclassmen and
seventy-one Donors scholarships to
freshmen were also granted.
The Chancellor closed the ses
sion by commenting on the Budget
situation.
He said "The situation will
improve. All is not lost as yet.
However, it will probably be a
month before the Legislature dis
cusses the budget on the Hoar."
"I would like to add that the
Board of Regents and myself em
phasize that first priority will be
given faculty salaries and the
teaching work load. I can't at this
time make a guarantee, but I will
say that these matters will be
our first consideration."
