Fee Set
The Board of Regents
moved to end the flood of
out-of-state "shopper" appli
cations received by the Uni
versity. Register Floyd Hoover said
last year the University pro
cessed 226 applications of out-of-state
students who did not
show for registration. He said
many students, "shopping"
for the most benefits, send
mimeographed application re
quests to institutions.
The Board approved a flO
fee to be charged to all non
Nebraska residents who apply
for admission. The fee is ap
plied toward payment of tui
tion if the student does en
roll. The Board also changed the
name of the department of
horticulture to department of
horticulture and forestry, and
accepted the resignation of

There was a quiet hush
over the Husker dressing
room. The only noises pres
ent were the low murmur
of voices and the running
showers.
Absent .was the loud
shouting and backslapping
that accompanied the Ne
braska victory over Kansas
State last year. The hall
way leading to the swim
ming pool was dark. Last
year the Huskers had been
charging down the hall and
jumping into the pool,
clothes and all. No, this
was nothing like the dress
ing room of last year.
Lost to Best
The Nebraska team had
been beaten by one of the
nation's finest, if not the
finest, quintets and had
lost no respect in the loss.
Coach Jerry Bush was

Fund Gap
Narrows
Only $70,000 remains to be
raised ia the $1,1 milliea fund
drive for the Nebraska Cen
ter for Continuing Education.
The University needed to
raise $1,142,000 in order to ac
cept a $1.6 million grant by
the W. K. Kellogg Foundation
for the $2.6 Center.
Bond Approved
Of the sum, $1,034,000 was
raised by the Dec. 31 dead
line with the remaining $108,-
000 being approved in a $350,
000 bond issue by the Board
of Regents.
Chancellor Clifford Hardin
said that the Regents hoped
the remainder could be raised
so the bond issue would not
be necessary. To date, $38,-
000 of $108,000 has been col
lected, leaving $70,000 to go.
March Beginning
Construction on the Center
is scheduled to begin in March
with the completion expected

quiet as they dressed in a

signed a few autographs,
while around the corner
outside the Kansas State

Winter told reporters he
wished he had a guard on
his team the likes of Her

gratulated by Bush for his
rebounding prowness as he
left for home. Swank cap

points.

an hour to get him out of
his cage at the zoo and
and into his portabla cage
