Discussion:
Budget
Due Next
W eec
Senator Karl Vogel, chairman
of the Legislature's budget com
mittee, told a Daily Nebraskan
reporter Tuesday afternoon that,
"Depending on the other sena
tors, we hope to bring the budget
up the first of next week."
The statement contradicted
earlier reports by the Lincoln
Journal that the budget would be
brought up this week.
When asked if he thought the
recent rains in the state would
make the Legislature more in
clined to be lenient and grant
the University an increase over
the 2.2 million dollars recom
mended by his committee, Vogel
replied, "I wouldn't care to ex
press an opinion on the matter.
However, I certainly hope not."
Yesterday, Senator Harry Pizer
w ho along with senator Otto Lie
bers has submitted a minority re
port asking for 1 million more
than recommended by the rest of
the committee, commented, "You
know, I said once that now, that
its beginning to rain, I suppose
they (other legislators), will be
hollering for flood relief."

'Best In Years':
'Soulh Pacific' Preview
By FRED DALY
Editor
Lincoln Air Force Base person
nel who attended Monday's prac
tice performance of "South Pa
cific." the Kosmet Klub Spring
Show, saw the best University-
sponsored musical to be presentel
here in years.
Excellent performances by Cyn
thia Barbar as Nellie Borbush and
Joe Hill as Luther Billi, supported
more than -ably by Norman Rig
gins, Jack Lindsay, Barbara Coon
rad and a boisterous chorus, more
than compensated for first-night
rough edges.
The Monday performance was
staged at the LAFB theater, and
was the first time the cast had
run through the show with com
plete props and lights.
After a rather slow beginning.
the renowned "There Is Nothing
Like a Dame" set the audience
back on its ears and got tne ac-j Luther Billis, the scheming Sea
tion of the performance off to ajf was au over tne pjace- He
roaring and successful start. This
was done by the men s chorus, a
ragged lot ot marine aiKi naval
personnel who also blasted forth
in fine style with "Bloody Mary.
Is the Gal for Me."
Action in the chorus was sparked and pranced and sang her way
by the antics of Hill, Bob Robson j through a meritorious perofrmance.

Rag Staff Choices:
Tuition liaise Leads
Top Ten Story list
The tuition increase of $30 per
semester for in-state students was
voted as the top news story of he
semeser by the Daily Nebraskan
editorial staff, according to Fred
Daly, editor.
Daly said the selection of Hie
top ten stories' was made accord
ing to relative news value given
to each and over-all significance
of the event.
Other top news stories in their
order are the Budget, the Faculty
Senate refusing student votes on
committees, the student tribunal
Charter, Open Hearings for Stu
dents, Senator Kennedy speaking
at student convocation, the renew
al of the IFC Ball, the well-known
Mitchell hearings, the Military
Ball profits, and last but not least
the parking problem.
Tuition
The tuition increase created
many comments from students at
the University. After many long
weeks of debate, the University
Board of Regents voted to raise
tuition for instate students to $J0
per semester. The Board fixed tui
tion for non-residents of Nebraska
as double the amount paid by res
ident students.
Other recommendations under
tuition was increasing the amount
of tuition in the College of Medi
cine to $525 per year, the tuition
for Dentistry College at S545 and
$765 for outstate students and the
tuition change bep increased $15 to
$45 per session for summer school.
Budget
The second story, the budget,
raised a great' controversy when
the chancellor proposed a budget
of 5.5 million dollars. This week
the Nebraska Unicameral will be
gin debating this proposed bud-e-t
for the 1957-59 biennium. The
J budget proposal contains a $1 mil-
lion cut in Governor Victor An-j
der9on's request for $3.2 million ;
to operate the University for the
next two years. 1
Senate Action
The Faculty Senate refused to!
give the vote to students on facul-
ty committees is the third top news
story ot the semeser.
The privilege was removed by
tne r acuity senate on uec. io,
1955. but committees with student
representations were not notmea
... ,
until last Jan. 18. When the Sen
ate voted, there was only one dis
senting vote, and thus under these j
conditions, the motion can be .
brought up again u copies are,
distributed to the facility oetoie

Student Tribunal
The fourth top news story rl
bv the staff is the proposed char
ter of the student tribunal. Being
1 passed by a nearly . 2 to 1 majority
in the Student Council elections
May 6, the student Tribunal will
go in effect when the Board of
Regents approves it.
The Student Tribunal has been
under consideration for some time
by the Council Activities commit
tee. The idea of forming a Student
Tribunal was first presented to the
students in 1956 Student Council
election.

the meetings came after an in

The appearance of Senator John
Kennedy in the first student spon
sored convocation is the number
six story.
Senator Kennedy spoke before
1400 people in the union ballroom
on May 18. His topic was "A Ca
reer in Politics."
He also conducted a question
and answer period in which he
answered questions concerning the
foreign policy of the United States
and his. work on the Special Sen
ate subcommittee investigating the
"finances" of the Teamster Union
whose president is Dave Beck.
IFC Ball
The reinstatement of the Inter
fraternity Council Ball after a
lapse of two years is story num
ber seven.
The Ball was held in the Turn
pike ballroom May 19. The music
was provided by Jay McShann.
A new inovation was established
this year. A Greek week-end
which culminated in the IFC ball
was instigated. The Week-end con
sisted of a chariot race between
fraternities, the choosing of sweet
hearts by the various fraternities
and the crowning of the queen of
Greek-end and presentation of
trophies at the ball.
The conduction of hearings and
the investigations of the Liasion
Committee into charges of viola
tion of privilege and tenure by
Dr. C. Clyde Mitchell constitutes
story number eight.
The investigations of the Com
mittee resulted in a report to the
Faculty Senate on May 15 that

For the first time in seven years,
the Military Ball was a financial
as well as social success and this
constitutes the ninth top story.
With Lieutenant Commander
Donald Edge as the officer in
charge, the Ball cleared $480 in
profits.
Richard Maltby and his 16 piece
orchestra played at this .year's
ball and Diane Peterson, senior
in the college of Agriculture, was
elected 1956 Honorary Command
ant. Several recommendations were
made to make future Military Balls
as successful as the 1956 one,
including suggestions to (1) sep
arate the dates between Home
coming and the Ball as widely
as possible to escape conflict, (2)
have the orchestra under contract
by Aug. 1, (3) continuation of out
side entertainment; and (4) inves
tigation of the possibility of hav
ing the ball away from the Uni
versity City Campus, possibly at
the new Pershing Municipal Audi
torium. Parking
A six -man parking advisory
committee was appointed by the
Chancellor in late March .to sur
vey the University's parking prob
lem and form recommendations.
The parking problem, increasing
each year, became greater the past
two semesters. This summer the
new Union addition will decrease
parking space even more so.
At the beginning of the fall se
mester there were 3500 cars for
some 3200 University parking
stalls, according to Sgt. John Fur-
