Pay Yours Yet?
Tuition Plays Vital Financial Role
Contrary to the opinions of many
disgruntled University studen's
who have recently paid second
semester fees, tuition income plays
a vital role in the maintenance
of the University.
Generally fifty to sixty per cent
of the student's tuition dollar goes
into instructional expenses accord
ing to Soshnik. Tuition money,
pooled with state public appropri
ations, goes into four major in
stltutions; administration, li
braries, plant operation and in
struction. "We cannot make a definite
breakdown due to the many dif
ferent types of expenses," Soshnik
elated in an interview Tuesday.
Million Collected
In 1956, tuition income came to
a little over one million three hun
dred thousand dollars. This is ap
proximately one eighteenth of the
total income of the University and
one tenth of the general and in
structional income.
A good deal of the total income
goes into auxiliary institutions
such as the University hospital
and research.

not tried out for the symphony
orchestra.

ion, the dorms and book stores.
All this money, Soshnik stated, i
independent of the direct instruc
tional expense, but it is still a
part of the total income. "
Teachers Salaries
Commenting on the fact that
only SO of the tuition dollar went
into teachers salaries, Soshnik
stated that "I thought it was too
little myself not too long ago. But
you have to consider the overhead:
the plant operation expense and
Hie cost of registering the iu
oem.
Soshnik and Glen Sloan, Univer
. y autiiicr, are now working on
the 1957 Financial Report.
"We are trying, this year, to
present figures that can be taken
for their iace values. If we suc
ceed, perhaps we can say more
I definitely where the tuition dollar
' goes," Sloan said.
! "The figures can make the Uni
versity look extremely poor or ex
! treniely n-h, depending on h o w
! they are presented," Sloan added.
iTins sar the financial report will
lhave a slightly different form.

Nebrashan
Pomlers
hs i
ose
"White space! Wtiite space!"
! the editor yelled.
j The Daily Nebraskan needed
something to make its appear
ance fresher, its effect on the
reader more pleasing.
So the senior staff of the paper
decided to change the lace of
the type used in the produc
tion of the paper from Tempo
and Spartan to Bodoni.
Th text books say, "Bodoni is
a vigorous, clean, dignified, con
servative, businesslike face."
And that, according to the Rag
editors, is the major recommen
dation for a change of face. More
over ,rtiey explain, the use of
Bodoni type with while space is
juite effective.
Another change is in the offing
for the Daily Nebraskan, too.
The type which is now eight
point on a nine point slug (ail
very mystic journalistic terms!
will soon become nine point on
a nine-and-a-half point base.
Since, in effect, this means the
type will be larger it should be
easier to read.
Better use of pictures and an
attempt to cover more accurately
and more fully the events of the
campus and the vicinity pertain
ing to the University family are
also some of the aims of the
Daily Nebraskan during the com
ing semester.
And, needless to say, the Rag
will welcome any suggestions
from its readers.

Mrs. Martin stated that the pri
mary reason for the exchange's
loss is lack of books to seU. Mary

money," Mrs. Martin commented.

Helen Gourlay, president of the
Student Council, sponsor of the ex

initely in favor of "giving th
project another try."
Chairman of the Student Council
Book Exchange Committee, Tom
Neff, stated that the results of
the current exchange show that
"there is a large group of stu

complain about high book prices
but who are too lazy to take any
initiative and do something about
it."
"The Alpha Phi Omegas should
not be expected to support finan

their service, Neff said.
