No Recession
In Nebraska
Sales Dispell
Depression Talk
"Our indexes still give no
hint of the recession," Ne
braska business researchers
said.
Retail sales were reported
5.9 per cent above a year ago
and 1.5 per cent above De
cember, according to "Busi
ness in Nebraska," a bulletin
prepared by the University's
department of business re
search. Columbus lead the list with
an increase of 22.2 over a
year ago, Kearney followed
with an increase of 17. Al
liance was third with 16.8.
Omaha showed an increase
of 5.5 per cent over a year
ago, but a drop of 2.6 as
compared with December.
Lincoln showed a drop of 1.1
from last year, but had an
increase of 4.2 over Decem
ber. Grand Island had a gain
of 11.3 over last year, and
had an 8.8 gam as com
pared with December.
"Even the U.S. indexes
which we use for comparison
with Nebraska are not yet
particularly affected. The re
cession had not, by Decem
ber, affected such important
series as bank debits, retaO
sales, life insurance sales or
employment other than man
ufacturing," the researchers
said.
However, manufactur
ing employment has dropped
by five per cent in the U.S.
and almost two per cent in
Nebraska from a year before,
the bulletin indicated.
"The most surprising series
is that representing construc
tion. For this series to be bet
ter than a year before, dur
ing a recession, is a sign that
counteracting forces are at
work," the bulletin said.
"Recessions do not at first
affect the corsumer in gen
eral or business as a whole.,
They start with such things
as heavy manufacturing and
then spread more gradually
to other lines," the bulletin
explained.

B
udget
By Regent Foote's Statement
What started out to be a
suggestion for a constructive
study of the workings of the
University Budget by the Re
gents has been construed to
a suggestion that the Univer
sity Administration was in
adequate in handling the
budget.
Frank Foote, regent from
Axtell, who made the initial
statement said he had been
misinterpreted to say that the
Regents should keep a watch
ful eye on the budget and the
processing by the Adminis
tration. Foote's statement said that
there is a need for a more
thorough study of University
spending by the Regents.
Foote commented that his
statement was meant to sug
gest a constructive study of
the budget and its set-up to
enable the Regents to better
give the final O.K. on the
budget before it went to the
governor and then to the
state legislature the following
spring.

Will Tour Nebraska
Today Set as Deadline
For Mortar Board Journey
Mortar Board's sixth annu
al Tour for International Stu
dents will be held March 31
through April 2, according to
Evonne Einspahr and Marilyn
Waechter,, co-chairmen.
The three-day tour of Ne
braska is planned to help ac
quaint University students
from other countries with Ne
braska and to let these stu
dents observe how people in
the United States live.
Enlarged
The tour is always held dur
ing spring vacation. Last year
it was enlarged from a two
to a three-day program, be
cause of the enthusiasm and
appreciation of the interna
tional students, Miss Einspahr
said.
She added that many stu
dents who went on the tour
last year are going again this
year, because they enjoyed
the tour and benefited from
it.
Thirty to 40 international
students are expected to make
the bus tour. They will be
accompanied by several Mor
tar Boards and faculty spon
sors. The tour will include Ne
braska farms, industries and
six towns.
Leave Monday
The group will leave Mon
day, March 31, at 8 a.m. for
Fremont where they will visit
a hatchery and a packing
plant.
From Fremont the tour
goes to Columbus for lunch
in the park and visits to lo
cal industries and the L t u p
River Public Power Plant.
The next stop for the group
will be Kearney where they
will stay overnight in the new
Kearney State Teachers Col-
Patterson Will Give
Pre-Easter Talk
Dr. Charles Patterson,
chairman of the University
department of philosophy, will
speak at the annual pre-East-er
breakfast on Ag Campus.
The breakfast is sponsored
by the Ag Religious Council,
and will be held at 7 a.m.
Sunday in the College Activ
ities Building. Special music
will be supplied by the Ag
College Chorus, under the di
rection of Bill Bush.
All families of students and
faculty are invited to the
breakfast, according to Bob
Rhoades, c 0 u n c il member.
Tickets are on sale at SO cents
each at the religious houses,
department offices on Ag
Campus, and the Union. Dead
line for buying tickets is
Wednesday.
Controversy
Foote said, takes the largest
portion of the state tax dollar
Earlier interpretations
brought comments from oth
er regents that the adminis
tration was handling the
budget processing adequately
and that their was no need
for the Regents to take a
more definite hand in its set
up. The budget takes the larg
est portion of the state tax
dollar next to that taken by
the State Department of roads.
This means that the Univer
sity should be careful setting
up the budget and asking

funds from the legislature.
Comments from other re
gents contacted included:
Clarence Swanson: I think
the budget is handled as a
big business would handle its
business. Once Frank Foote
sits through a budget pro
posal, I believe he will see
that it gets big league atten
tion. We believe it is in good
hands, and it is being
watched, too.

From Curtis the group goes

Budget Journey Lengthy
In N earing Governor
The University budget goes
through a long process before
it is presented to the gover
nor. Chancellor Clifford Hardin
commented that it is a con
tinual process which is not
confined to weeks or months.
Budgets, he said, are plans
of activities, involving people,
materials and physical plant
for a fixed period f time,
reflected in dollars.

Their work follows through
the Board of Regents thought
that administrative heads are
in the best position to know
these details, Hardin ex
plained. Associates are consulted by
the dean and directors con

After the deans and direc

WAA Honors Cup
Goes To Pi KiTs
The WAA participation cup
Phis Sunday night at the
WAA Banquet
This trophy is given every
year to the organized wom
en's house which had the
greatest amount of participa
tion in WAA activities for the
previous semester.
Joan Heusner, past presi
dent of WAA, presented the
cup to Jo Devereaux and
Bernie Ecklund, past presi
dent of Pi Beta Phi and last
semester's house representa
tive, respectively.
Incited
we are board of directers of
an institution. We don't try to
tell a general manager now
to run his business after we
have hired him to do this job.
Chancellor Hardin and hit
staff are and have been com
petent, probably more than
we would be if we attempted
to do the work for which they
were employed.
C. Y. Thompson: I with
Frank Foote had waited to
present his proposal to the
Regents, rather than through
the press. The chancellor and
his staff know what it takes
to operate the University, far
better than we would know.
J. G. Elliott: My board
service has not yet included
a budget studying period.
However, I can see no ob
jections to the way it is be
ing handled.
Chancellor Hardin, then pre
sents the total budget picture
to the regents so priorities
may be established before the
completed budget goes to the
governor, in the falL
Legislature Last
This budget will then be
presented to the state legis
lature during the following
spring.
Hardin commented that the
budget study by the Regents
is as detailed as they decide
to have it Present practice,
he says, is to hear a review
of the entire budget by the
chancellor.
