Retirement Bill
The bill empowering the
Board of Regents to
lish a new retirement sys
tem for University employees
was signed by Gov. Ralph
Brooks last week.
The measure provides for
contributions by employees
and the University. Under the
present system the employee
does not contribute, but the
University contributes eight
per cent of the employee s an
nual salary.
Speculation
In his legislative message,
Brooks said that measures
requiring "an additional
number of dollars to be
levied through the general
fund" would not have his
approval.
In addition, any new
source of revenue must be
placed in the general fund
rather than be earmarked

to this is a sadden surge of
cadet volunteers to sing with

and many questions as to
why and how this whole
thing came about
A. James Ebel, president
of the Centennial committee,
explained the city commit
tee's choice of dates:
Salute to Ivy
"We chose the opening to
be on Ivy Day because we
felt it would be a salute to
Ivy Day. We hoped by com
bining the events, we could
bring mere people to Lincoln
to participate in both."

he explained, checked the

covered a lull in activites

planned the parade at this;
