VlNIVERSITY OF NEBR. LI JxARY t Education Costs Discussed Hardin Tells Regent Winners of Price Rise CHIVES MAR 28 1960 Chancellor Clifford M. Har din told regent scholarship winners from Lancaster County that "the financial barrier which many able young people find on their road to college is growing bigger, not smaller." Speaking at a Lincoln Ki wanis luncheon honoring the students, Hardin said, "Study after study has indicated that during the next 10 years the cost of . higher education can be expected to increase." Educational Costs Discussing the increasing educational costs, Dr. Hardin pointed out that the Univer sity has established a new program designed to help a student and his family de velop a financial plan. He said that among the en tering freshmen for next fall "there are 200 excellent stu dents whose financial back ing is so meager that we are convinced they cannot go to college unless they receive help." .... "The University's resources have made it possible to de velop plans for 100 of these by using $23,000 in scholar ships plus loans aiTd employ ment. The other 100 are be yond reach. We believe that an additional $24,000 of schol arship fund properly distri buted would give these young sters a chance to at least get started." Many suggestions, he ex plained, have been made na tionally as to how the increase Union Filings Are Open Applications are now avail able for Student Union advis ory board positions for the coming year. Interviews for the positions will be held beginning at 9:00 a.m. Saturday in the Student Union.

These include a fraternity representative, sorority repre member, independent women member, Women's Residence Hall representative, M e n's Residence Hall member, grad uate student representative, married student .representa tive, commuter student mem ber and a foreign student representative.

College Standard "Some declare that t h e standard of college living to day is much higher than it need be, that it involves great expenditures for parties and comfortable living, and even for doubtful luxuries. "This kind of talk attracts attention. Moreover, it must be admitted, that it applies to a small minority of college students. At the, same time, however, it must be pointed out that this same minority of students is composed of those who come from homes of more than average income.

When Is A Pill Not A Pill? . . . Student Health Pharmacist By Ann Moyer A pill is not a pill. A pill as we know it is no longer considered a pill by pharmacists. Miss Phyllis Platz, Student Health registered pharma cist, said most pills are actually tablets. The difference be tween a pill and a tablet is that a pill is hand rolled and a tabet is made by machine, she explained. "The method of hand rolling pills is almost obsolete," Miss Platz commented. The pharmacy is located in the Health Center and handles an average of 75 prescriptions per day, she said. "University students are allowed a 25 discount from the regular price charged for medications from the Student Health pharmacy," she said, "even if they have been sub scribed by doctors outside the Health Center." Miss Platz explained that prepared and filling a prescription consisted of checking. ' the doctor's order for possible mistakes ard transferring the medication to containers of the proper size, labeling them and filing the prescription card. Jiowever, prescriptions can be compounded in the Health Center pharmacy. Miss Platz said about 15 of the orders filled are compounded. She attributed a large nunv "They are the students whose' standard of living at college would not change ma terially regardless of whether tuition charges are doubled or tripled or quadrupled." The. whole argument over looks one point, he added: "The ability of a student to achieve scholastically does not move hand in hand with the ability to pay." Also, he said, the welfare of , the nation as well as the personal welfare of the stu dent is involved in participa tion in higher education. "This is a principle which has long been established in America and which has long been accepted. To abandon it today would be a great risk." the youngest department gen eral counsel and one of the three youngest appointees to superior offices made by President Eisenhower. Abbott, a graduate of the University of Nebraska, is a past president of Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, a member of Innocents Society and sports editor of the Daily Ne braskan. He was president of the University alumni in Wash ington. Before assuming his present duties he practiced law in Grand Island and for five years was counsel for the House Interior and Insu lar Committee. , Through a staff of 210 law yers, Abbott - administers a department of 50,000 em ployees.

His poetry has been des cribed as "colorful and straight-forward" and, as po etry critic, he has aroused national controversy more than once. He has expressed a presonal belief that "poetry is itself a religion; it gives meaning to life." Dr. James Miller, chair man of the English depart ment, noted that Ciardi's po etry is the type that reaches the masses. Boston-born and bred, Ciar di was educated at Bates and Tufts Colleges. He received his Bachelor's degree from Tufts with high distinction in 1938. In 1939 he earned a Master's degree from the University of Michigan. Eight Books The 43-year-old literary fig ure has published eight books and has won six important literary prizes, the most re cent being the Prix de Rome in 1956, which provided for study in Rome.

Vol. bcr of these to the medications prescribed by the derma tologists who are at the center twice a week. The records of prescriptions date back 15 years and fill several file cases. These are used for refilling prescrip tions and reference, Miss Platz explained. She said it is wise for a person who has been using the same medication for several years to check periodically with their doctors because the conditions of the treatment may change. Also, the advance in medical research leads to a constantly changing trend in medicines, she explained. The special swinging shelves In the pharmacy make it possible to keep on hand more than 10,000 bottles contain ing tablets, pills, chemicals and solutions, Miss Platz said. Miss Platz is the only registered pharmacist at the Health Center at present. She is also a teacher in the Phar macy school and is frequently assisted by senior students who have had experience dispensing medications. Ihe stu- dents are not allowed to dispense prescriptions, however, unless under the supervision "Pharmacy is onepf the few professions which is legally bound not to make mistakes,'' she said. "We are responsible for catching any mistakes the doctor might have made in writing the prescription and of course for filling prescrip tions accurately." LINCOLN, Arts & Sciences College Ends Compulsory PE, Offers It As Elective The College of Arts and Sciences faculty recently voted to abandon physical education requirements for its students. This will change the status of physical education courses to elective and these courses will not be required for a de gree. Final action on the change will come from Chancellor Clifford M.

A large number of the Uni versity's female population is which has characterized his long years as a world-renowned legal educator. Speaking before more than 300 persons at an all-Law School convocation, the 89 year old Harvard Law School Dean emeritus warned, "The time has come to look reali ties in the face. "What we have to realize," he said, "is that law is both experience and reason. The reason is developed by ex perience and tested by further experience." The University graduate traced the progress of law in his lifetime, noting that prin ciples and reason rather than commands have become the foundation of the law. Cautioning the law stu dents arid attorneys in at tendance not "to shape analogies into awkward situ ations," he noted that the analogy between the individ ual and a corporation is no longer valid because of the size of corporate structures. "Corporations affect the public interest as is not pos sible for the individual," the former University law school dean pointed out. His advice to the students and members of the legal profession was, "Go forward confidently in the law. The law, like the sun, do move." A lengthy ovation acknowl edged his talk which lasted some 50 minutes ("I never talk less than 50 minutes."). He carried an Irish shillelagh which he used as a cane.
