Wednesday, April! 0, 1957 Daily Nebraskan Editorials: We Stand Alone The Daity Nebraskan I J 1 3 S ft ' i I Gov. Victor Anderson, in a strange move for a "friend of the University declared Tuesday that he will not fight to restore the $1 million the budget committee of the Legislature trimmed from his recommendations for the University. You will remember that when the Governor visited the University before Christmas he said that he has always been a friend of the Uni versity and stood up for it "when I was in the Legislature." And now he claims that he has been much concerned that the University has enough money to increase salaries enough to maintain the present staff. - ' - The state's chief executive said that t'ie com , mi t tee had told him all the salary increases requested -by the University would be taken care 'of. He added that the Budget Committee had more time than he to review budget requests of state Institutions; his figure was Just a recommendation. So we have climbed down the ladder. Chan cellor Hardin said that the University must have a $5.5 million increase to keep pace with other schools and the needs of the state. The Legislature's committee seems to think that a possible $1 million from tuition increases would bring the total to the governor's rec ommended $3.2 million increase. But the Gov ernor said that his figure was for the $3.3 plus any tuition increase. And so it would seem that the committee is discussing a cut of one million below the chief executive and $2.3 below the University. Governor Anderson said he believes that the Legislature itself might try to give the Univer sity the $3.2 million addition he originally recommended. Now Dr. Hardin is standing "on the spot." Since he had stated that the budget which he submitted was what was essential for the five areas of the University most in need of expan sionmore space, Salaries, Increased staff, The University Hospital and Research it is obvious that all of these areas cannot get the total which they need. ' So the Chancellor Is left with determining the areas to which the money should go. Of course the most pressing area is the needed salary increases for the teachers. We,ll, then, if this is true, then the University won't be able to handle the speculated increases in enrollments during the next few years. So perhaps entrance requirements will ' be tough ened and the many students of the state who seek a higher education will be deprived of it. The four areas of the greatest need which could not possibly be serviced by the addi tional funds would be deprived of the funds. The Lincoln Journal remarked, "You would dis' card research in the fields of irrigation and conservation Nebraska's life-blood and you would close wards . in the University Hospital, with a possible resultant probation for the medi cal college." And yet the money could be spread out with the result-that many instructors would be lured elsewhere by promises of salaries commensur ate with their education and experience. This would cripple future growth of the University's staff. We hope that the Governor, who has been a friend of the University in the past, by his own admission, will heed the need of the school. We trust that the Legislature will examine the case for our school and the case for the future of the state! ' We cannot help but say that the budget as it stands for the University is an impractical budget. There is still time for the people of Nebras ka to accept the responsibility of the Univer sity and take on their shoulders the future of this institution. But since it seems that the leader of the state will not fight for a realistic budget for the University we will have to wage a war for our future by ourselves.

Skhmhan Letlerips To the Editor: Just what , has happened to the Mitchell Case, anyway? The last I read the investigat ing committee was supposed to have its last public hearing some time late in March. But it's into April and we haven't heard a word. I imagine the committee is going to stall it out, if not until the case is completely forgotten, at. least until the Legislature has passed on the University's budget . . . Or until Bruce Brugmann has graduated and his influence begins to diminish. ' In any event, I imagine it doesnt make too much difference. Every-, one expects the cast to be white washed anyway and the admin istration to come out looking red, white and blue. After all, I guess we can't ex pect the committee to have any more guts than the rest of the faculty. Ag Student An editorial in Monday's Nebras kan condemned the budget com-, mittee for "hacking" another $1 million from the $3.2 million rec ommended by Governor Anderson for the University. Isn't this criti cism directed at the wrong peo ple? In an overall view of this pic ture I can't see any other alter native than that which Senator Vogel and his budget committee propose. The University, like all other state institutions, is supported by taxes. In the state of Nebraska, the tax base, presently, is a prop erty tax. Obviously the citizens of Nebraska cannot afford an in crease in their property taxes, to provide the increased revenue needed by our state institutions. Therefore, in the present session of the Legislature two bills were pro posed to change the tax base from a property tax to (1) a state sales" tax or (2) a combined state sales income tax. Both of these mea sures were killed on the floor. If the student council and other ' Interested University groups had directed their efforts as vigorously towards the passage of one of these bills preferably the second one) as they have in the budget issue, perhaps the increase Hardin asked for could be granted. Our University apparently does need the proposed budget increase to maintain its status as an out standing school. But let's use some foresight and intelligence in plac ing the blame where it lies. Uni versity students who are the tax payers and voters of the future are the ones who must take the responsibility now assumed by sev eral pressure groups to see that out representatives to the Legis lature back the kind of bill that can allow the necessary expansion within the University; namely, a bill providing a modern, pro gressive tax base. Kay Skinner To the Editor: It isn't hard to understand why Ed Carsten's cud can be palatable enough to endear him to such Teach er's College themes as Community Education and The Positive Ap proach: they are directed toward "Life-adjustment and how-to-get- along" the very provincialism and intellectual de-e m p h a s i s which our antagonist effectively denounced. The best possible affirmation of Mr. Shapiro's statement was the student (a leader on campus, in cidentally) who wondered loftily who we should bother with some thing which doesn't concern us.

So if the contributors will call me some hight, we'll use the fund to buy coffee and talk the whole thing over. j The uproar over Shapiro's state ment at the , Library of Congress has proved at least one thing: The midwest is conscious of intellec tual and cultural values. The term "apathy" is not quite appropriate, because of its connotations of a complete lack of awareness. , I sense -in the current counter-attacks against Shapiro's Temarks a certain ego - defensive attitude, which a psychologist might suggest probably stems from an awareness that s one thing is wrong with the cul tural organ ism. And this aware ness would imply that the organism de sires health. I note, for .u,ii;e, umi Nebr.ik Pht. the Rag has Schulti received a letter asking if either Shapiro or I has made any contri bution monetary or personal to the five Hungarian refugees on cam pus. For myself, the answer is "No,( and I regret it.'. But' my answer has little to do with the -frl i n -i wm-M- etui . steve schultz 1 situation; ; I have never set my self up as any kind of paragon, and I would be presumptious indeed if I asked anyone to mold himself into my pattern. Thus, the letter argues personalities rather than issues, and inasmuch as It is that type of argument, it is fa-relevant' to the issue. But the letter indi cates that the writer knows that an issue exists, and so it -is a healthy sign. But if this awareness of a cer tain lack exists, we have a right to ask why nothing is done. I suspoct that the reason for a lack of cultural growth is that wa as sociate .culture" with women's lit erary teas and Dadaist move ments. But . culture ,'s neither of these things. Rather, it is. the, ag gregate of the experience of hu manity. Thus, a baseball box score is as much an indication of Amer ican culture as is a Dos Passos novel, and. Bacchanalian , orgies were as indicative of -the Geek spirit as was The Iliad. But be cause a box scorexor an orgy is easier to consider than heavy weight literature, they are not necessarily more legitimate ob jects' for our ebnsideration. Rather, we -owe it to ourselves Jo know every aspect of human experience to the greatest extent to Which our minds are capable. , The point of this is that poetry, painting, theatre and music are not divorced from everyday life. Instead, they have a direct effect on how we live, love, plow fields, and fight wars. Ill T-t 1 (Athr 'Bartott Boy With Chi.mH.r HOW MUCH IS THAT DOGFISH IN THE WINDOW?
