Honors Program
A new degree for top students has been approved by
the College of Arts and Sciences faculty.
The program, which would establish a Degree with
Honors, must be approved by the Board of Regents before
it could go into effect.
Replacement
'"The Honors Degree will in effect replace the degree
with high distinction," according to Reino Virtanen, chair
man of the Committee on Degrees with Honors.
The purpose of the new degree is "to offer a challenge
to the better students in our college to do more and better
work than is required to earn any of the degrees now of
fered." A college-wide committee, the Honors Policy Council,
will consist of the present Committee on Degrees with
Honors and one representative from each department of
the college.
Earlier Start
Among other things the group hopes to accomplish with
this new program is getting students into honors programs
earlier in their college careers. Now most students do not
begin work for honor degrees befure their senior years,
Virtanen said.
Last year four students were awarded degrees with
high distinction and 15 received degrees with distinction
from the College of Arts and Sciences.
The new Honors Degree will not affect degrees with
distinction, which may be awarded on the basis of grades
alone.
A candidate for the Degree with Honor would have to
be recommended by his department, successfully com
plete 199, the honors course, and pass an examination on
his major subject. The committee would then consider him
fpr the degree. ,
Majors Must Pull 49s
... In Arts College
Arts and Science students soon will be required to
maintain grades of 4 or above in their major field, Walter
Militzer, dean of the college, announced.
There has been no ruling concerning this previous to
this time.
The ruling, decided by the college faculty, will be ef
fective beginning the school terra of 1959.
Upperclassmen as well as incoming freshmen will not
be allowed to court courses towards their major if the
grade received is below 4.
During the first semesters that the ruling will be in
effect exceptions will be made in some cases, said the
dean.
A person ought to have as good an average in his
major as for his degree," Dean Militzer said. An over-all
average of 4 is required for a degree.
' Less than 10 per cent" of the students w ill be affected
by the ruling predicted Miss Shirley Thomsen, assistant
registrar.

Increase Asked
The school has asked for
an increase of $5,894,160 in
state property tax fundt for
the 1959-60 biennium.
Of this proposed increase,
$4,275,700 was requested U
maintain the University's cur
rent program. An additional
$1,618,460 was proposed for
expansion.
Two separate budgets wer
submitted a continuation,
budget that represents tht
costs of maintaining the pres
ent program and an ex
pansion budget that outlines
proposed expanded services.
Staff Salaries
The bulk of the Univeristy'i
requested budget increase
will go to University staff's
j salaries, said Dean Bracken-
noge.
University staff salaries in
cludes more than just the
teaching staff of the school.
"The man who shovela
walks, the secretary, the re
search man and the coanty
agent" are all included in the
University staff, said Dean
Breckenridge.
The University's total con
tinuation budget is $32,929,937.
Increase To Maintain
The increase proposed to
maintain the current Univer
sity program is needed, ex
plained Comptroller Joseph
Soshnick, because it costs
more to purchase the same
things. This includes the price
' hiring the University staff.
"By far the largest share
of the increased cost of con
tinned operation at present
levels is in the area of sal
aries and wages for the pres
ent staff, be said.
The University's-total con
tinuation budget is supported
by six sources of revenue.
They are:
$25,275, 700 in state tax
funds.
$3,949,980 in student fees
$3,167,257 in federal funds
$296,000 in county funds (to
care for indigent patients at
University hospital)
$157,000 in reimbursements
from outside agencies which
carry on cooperative pro
grams with the University
$84,000 in income from
University endowment
funds.
The $1,618,460 expansion
budget would be supported
entirely by state proper
ty tax funds.
From Property Tax
The total sought by the
school from the property tax
supported general fund is
$26,894,160 contrasted with
appropriations of $21 million
for the current two-year per
iod. "The main emphasis (of the
the teaching, research and
extension staffs," said Dean
Breckenridge.
Specifically the budget is
for the following areas:
Teaching, research and
public service programs in
the nine colleges at the City
and Agricultural campuses in
Lincoln;
The medical center in Oma
