The basis of the Governor's "hold the line" budget are two propos als to lower the state insitutional building levy from $1.10 to 50 cents per $1,000 of property and eliminate the 25 cents per $1,000 levy for the University College of Medicine. v When asked to clarify earner statements that he would "fight" proposals to increase his recom mendations on the two levies the Governor Adnerons said, "I have pledged muself to holding the line. Tuition Bill Fails To Pass Committee A bill to double tuition rates at the University failed to be ad vanced from the Legislature's edu cation committee. The measure, LE410, got three votes for advancement. Four votes are needed to get a bill out of com mittee. The committee can reconsider the bill at any time. Present tuition fees are $90 per semester for resident students and $180 for non-residents, according to University Registrar Floyd Hoover. The bill, as originally offered by Sen. Terry Carpenter of Scotts bluff, sets $360 and $180 per semes ter as tuition rates for non-Nebras-kans and Nebraskans, respective ly, at the University. The committee amended version of the bill provides for doubling of tuition charges, instead of set ting a specific amount. Tuition and fees now are $90 and $180 for resi dents andtion - residents, respec tively.

The Legislature's legislative council had recommended a 75 cent mill levy for institutions and taken no position on the medical school levy enacted by the 1953 Legislature. "Naturally," the governor said "I will try to sell the idea (About special levies) to members of the Legislature." "Then my other approach would be to give consid eration to a veto." The budget bills have not yet been reported to the floor for de bate. Usually they arrive late in the session and are among the last passed by the senators. The governor said, "I'm hope ful I get the budget early enough to study it before they (the Legis lature) adjourns." If it appears the budget will not reach his desk before adjourn ment, the governor said he prob ably would send a message to the Legislature asking a postponement of adjournment until he has time to go over the budget thoroughly. A budget has been vetoed only once before according to Governor Anderson, by Governor Charles Bryon.

Whittaker said that the play is surprisingly theatrical. "Barlach, of course, is noted for his painting and his sculpture. Yet this play demonstrates his versatility," the director stated. He saii that the same "force" which is evident in the lithographs and other art works of the Ger man artist are evident in the play. "He must have had a very vivid imagination, since every field he experimented in was so success ful," Whittaker said. The Bar! ch play in its entirety is much like those works of other European dramatists, "that is, the action often stops so that the phil osophy of the playwright can be expounded.
