Chance
By John Hoerner
About half the University
budget is used for teaching
purposes, Chancellor Clif
ford Hardin told an open
Student Council meet
ing Wednesday.
Chancellor Hardin and
University comptroller and
director of the budget Jo
seph Soshnik spoke to t h e
Council concerning Univer-
iity finances.
Budget, Bills
Highlighting the talks was
discussion of the University -budget,
especially in regard "
to bills presently before the 3
legislature.
Of the total budget,
"about half goes for what
could be termed teaching
expenses," Hardin said.
The other half, or "non
teaching" expenses, Is
divided with approximately
25 per cent of the total
budget going to the agricul
tural experiment station and
the ag extension service.
Around 10 per cent of the
Budget Questions Many
For Hardin, Soshnik
Wednesday's open Council
meeting brought a barrage of
budget questions to Chancel
lor Clifford Hardin and
Joseph Soshnick, comptroller.
Discussion ranged from the
Elgin purchase to compara
tive faculty salaries.
Expected Enrollment
To a question on what hap

expected en
rollment i n -crease,

expected the
present num
ber to con
tinue to rise.
"We know
Soshnik
exactly how many high school
students there are, but we
can't he sure of the percent
age who will come to Nebras
ka. We just guessed wrong,"
the Chancellor said.
One Council member ques
tioned the omission of con
struction from the budget dis
cussion. To this the Chancel
lor replied that funds for con
struction are obtained under
an entirely separate program.
In 1957 a system was rein
augerated in the legislature
under which we receive funds
from a mill levy on state
property tax, he said.
The purchase of the Elgin
building was under this plan,
the Chancellor said.
The Chancellor was asked
about a possible tuition raise.
To this he replied, "There
has been no discussion any
where that I have heard of
that possibility."
In answer to a question con
cerning the effect of the pro'
posed retirement program on
procuring high quality faculty
members, the Chancellor said
that the plan would not go into
effect until 1961.
However, it would definitely
be considered an increase in
income and as such would be
an incentive, he added.
Herald Survey
Dr. Soshnik commented on
the Omaha World Herald sur
vey which showed that Ne
braska was above average in
the Big Eight as far as faculty
salaries were concerned.
"While the survey was con
scientiously done," Soshnik
said, "it used only minimum
and maximum salaries for
the academic year only."
This method of computing
the relative pay scales has
peculiarities which prevent, it
from presenting a complete
picture, according to Dr. Sosh
nik. Lower Average
It is possible to have higher
minimum and maximum sal
aries and still have a lower
average, Soshnik said.
It depends on the number
which are closer to each end,
he said.
According to Soshnik, the
University does not compare
as favorably with the rest of
the colleges in the U. S. as
with the Big Eight.
The Chancellor added that
NU is losing faculty members
not only to the Big Eight, but
also to the Big 10 and West
Coast colleges, whose scales
are above ours.
Problem Questioned
One Council member asked,
"Why do we have this salary

problem? Are other states
richer or are their legisla
tures nicer?"
Hardin replied that he had
lived in five other states and
that they did seem to be
richer in resources within the
state. However, Hardin said
that on a per capita basis, in
reality the most important,
Nebraska stands up quite
well.

Revenue Bill
Has Hearing
A special bill to provide
money for Ag College went
before the Legislature's Rev
enue Committee Wednesday.
The bill, LB315, would pro
vide for a tax raise of about
$3,750,000 to be used for
buildings and maintenance at
Ag College.
Chancellor Hardin said the
bill would "allow the College
of Agriculture to do better
the job it can do."
Another supporter of the
bill, Ag College Dean W. V.
Lambert, told the Committee
the College serves 100,000
Nebraska farms annually, in
addition to a large number
out of the state.
Building needs of the Col

$8,657,700, including appro

Approximately $1,696,000

it was "the best of anywhere

All three members of the

Reynolds said, "but they get

situated in one spot."
San Francisco's Hungry 1

Dollars Short, But Trio Scores
The Kingston Trio's appearance was called a "success,"
although the Union lost $300 to $500 on the venture.
"We try to bring things to the campus that the students
wanti and as far as I'm concerned the students felt it was
successful," Bob Handy, Uniqn activities director said.
"Financial success is only one method of judging."
The Union sold 2,342 tickets and grossed $4,278 on the
event. The Pershing audience was largely made. up of Uni
versity students.
"We want to get either them (the Trio) or someone
similar to them for the Union opening next fall," he con

There is no retirement fund
and monies are appropriat

The maximum payment
under this program is $2,400
a year, the Chancellor said.
The amount has been a t -tained
only 4 times, he add

Matching Funds
The proposed program
