'Spy' Experience
What is it like to be ex
pelled from Russia?
Jim Shultz, national stu
dent chairman of the YMCA,
knows. He will review his
adventures Sunday afternoon
at 4:30 in the Student Union.
Shultz was one of 24 stu
dents from the United States
on an exchange tour to the
Soviet Union this summer.
At the time of his expul
sion, numerous reports of es
pionage were being circulat
ed by both the United States
and t he Soviet. Union, and
newspapers headlined Shultz
as one oi the many American
'"spies" that were being
booted out of Russia.
It turned out that Shultz
was actually told to leave
because he was giving gifts
to some Russian students.
Few Days Lost
Only a few days of the
tour were lost, as the expul
sion came near the end oi
summer.
Shultz explained his expul
sion to area YMCA board
members earlier this month.
The deportation came when
a Soviet official accused him
of ""giving poor response to
Soviet hospitality."
"The American demanded
that this fellow should seek
out some others like him,
should carry on anti-Soviet
agitation and distribute pro
vocative rumors."
Escorted to Border
Shultz was then escorted
to the nearest border at Hel
sinki and forced to leave the
country at this point rather
than at Romania as he had
originally planned.
The expulsion, Shultz said.
probably came as the result
of a series of incidents which
occurred after he met a Rus
sian boy and girl shopping in
downtown Kiev.
The Russian students re
quested clothes, reading ma
terial and perfume, which
Shultz obliged, attended a
circus with the Americans
and sang Russian and Ameri
can songs.
Shultz said he had not
given any more, or even as
much, in gifts as other stu
dents and tourists.
Ray Preston, conference
co-chairman of the YMCA,
explained that students are
selected for the exchange on
the basis of their specialized
fields of study in order that
Ceres Goes
On Display
To Public
She talks, she moves, she
can explain many things but
she's still not alive!
Ceres, the University's new
transparent plexiglas talking
lady, will be dedicated in the
presence of members of the
medical profession tonight at
7:30 in Morrill Hall West
Health Gallery. Ralph Muel
ler, donator of the unique
lady, will be present at the
dedication.
On Saturday and Sunday
Ceres will be on display at
Morrill Hall's open house.
Ceres, the name given by
the Romans to the Greek
goddess of agriculture, was
suggested by Mueller for the
statue.
She is five feet, eight
inches tall and is placed on
a base. Her voice comes
from speakers set in the base
explaining the functions of
the grambs visible within her
body.
Ceres' voice is recorded on
an elaborate tape recording
console. There are small
windows in the photo-electric
tape, through which an elec
tric eye shines to inactivate
the electric brain. The brain
then causes Ceres to light
certain other organs or to ro
tate on her bass.
Doctor C. Bertrand Schultz,
director of the University
State Museum, originally
contracted to bring Ceres to
Morrill Hall in 1958 by co
operation with the Univer
sity Foundation and Mueller.

cross-section of knowledge to
be used in answering ques
tions about the United States.
Shultz is majoring in his
tory and is in pre-theology
at Southwestern College in
Winfield, Kans.

First Choice
Of Students
High Schoolers Pick
Nebraska Colleges
The cream -of -the-crop high
school students are selecting
Nebraska for higher educa
tion, according to - Dr. Au
brey Forrest, director of the
University office of Scholar
ships and Financial Aids.
Forrest, armed with Na
tional Merit Scholarship sta
tistics, made his statement
before t he Lincoln Kiwanis
club.
Using the college prefer
ences of Nebraska's semi-fi
nalists in the annual Nation
al Merit Scholarship competi
tion, he showed that this year
54 per cent of the h i g h cali
ber graduates chose Nebras
ka colleges.
This figures compares with
only 26 per cent last year, 39
per cent in 1958, and 29 per
cent in 1957.
Dr. Forrest listed these col
leges in order of rank as the
most popular among the Ne
braska wmi-finalists during
the past four years (with
cost of tution, board and
room, plus $400 for miscel
laneous expenses listed in
parenthesis):
1. University of Nebraska
($1240) j
2. Massachusetts Institute
of Technology ($2910)
3.-4. California School of
Technology ($2480)
3.-4. Harvard University
($2738)
5. Creighton University
($1674)
6. Stanford University
($2260)
7. Carleton University
($2400)
8. Nebraska Wesleyan Uni
versity ($1570)
9. Northwestern University
($2415)
10. Grinnell College ($2375)
11. Iowa State University
($1500)
12. Omaha University
($1359)
Forrest added that none of
the costs included travel to
these institutions.
He pointed out that the
University of Nebraska was
selected by more than four
times as many semi-finalists
as the second-ranking pre
ferred school.

Sunday.
The tests will be conducted,
for' the second year, in as

Diabetic Detection Week;
According to Dr. K. D.
Rose, chief of laboratory and
medical research at Student
Health, a total of 5,000 of
these self-tests have been
printed up and will be dis
tributed during the 'national
drive, Nov. 13-19.
The purpose of the pro
gram is to help discover un
known diabetics on campus.
American Diabetes Associa
tion statistics show that there
are four persons in every
thousand who have this dis
ease and do not know it.
Forty Diabetics
"This means that there
are around forty unknown
diabetics on this campus and
we would like to find them,"

The 1961-63 biennial operating budget of the University, submit
ted to the State Tax Commission office yesterday, calls for an in
crease of $5,605,893 in general fund appropriations from the state.
The proposed request for $30,701,893 from the state general

In Poor Standing
The problem of getting stu
dent organizations to comply
with Student Council regula
tions and obtain good stand
ing is still plaguing the judi
ciary committee of the Coun
cil. John Hoerner, chairman of
the committee, outlined the
Council's jurisdiction Wednes
day by quoting the Student
Council constitution. He read
Article III Section I. A:
'To regulate and coordinate
the activities of all student
organizations and student
groups or general University
interest as follows: Any Lin
coln campus organization
which has any of its elected
officers, students at the Uni
versity (graduate or under
graduate) with the exception
of the Interfraternity Council,
Panhellenic Council, The Ne
braska Union and any group
which has as its purpose the
holding of a worship service."
Hoerner said an example of
an organization that would be
included under the Council's
jurisdiction would be YMCA,
YWCA and the Council on
Religion.
Examples of those organi
zations that are not under
Council regulation are Chris
tian Science Organization and
Newman Club.
Nine more organizations
were announced as being in
good standing since the last
publication:
Varsitv Hairy Club
Pi lambda Theta
Aquaaoettes
Agronomy Club
Pi Mu Epsilon
Women's Athletic Association
University of Nebraska Wildlife Club
Varsity Dairy Club
American Pharmaceutical Association
Hoerner said organizations
still in bad standing with the
Council will still be given fa
cilities in the Student Union
this week but will be barred
next week. He urged all or
ganizations to meet the re
quirements immediately if in
bad standing.
Steve Gage asked that the
organizations in poor standing
b contacted before next
week's meeting and told of
their situation.
"We have made it clear
what they have to do," he
said. "Those not functioning
as an active organization
should be removed from Uni
versity and Council files to
help the bookkeeping proc
ess," he said. -

Dr. Rose called these re

a total current operating
budget for the University of

The proposed budget re
flects increased expenditures
for salaries, a funded-retirement
program for staff mem
bers, growth and develop
ment to meet growing de
mands in teaching and re
search areas and expanding
operating costs.
Personal Services
University Chancellor Clif
ford M. Hardin pointed out
that $4.1 million of the in
crease would be used f6r per
sonal services considering
"the emphasis which the Uni
versity places on the im
portance of such services."
Slightly more than $3.5 mil
lion of this amount is des
ignated for increased salaries
and the addition of some new
teaching and research posi
tions, Hardin said.
The remaining .5 million is
needed to maintain the pres
ent staff at its current salary
level.
Hardin explained that the
increases in salaries were
vital ""if we are to remain
at, or near, the average of
faculty salaries paid in our
region." He added that the
proposed salary increases
would serve to narrow the
gap between University sal
ary levels and those of other
comparable universities.

hired to do the study by Ne
braska's legislative council
on higher education.
Hardin explained that the
proposed new teaching posi
tions would center around the
development of a nuclear re
search program and would
possibly include a radio
chemist, nuclear physicists
and a food specialist.
About $900,000 of the pro
posed budget increase win
consist of the University's
contriDution to the new re
tirement program (LB130)
passed by the 1959 Legisla
ture. According to the provisions
of the program the Univer
sity will contribute six per
cent of each faculty mem
ber's salary. This amount
will be matched by the facul
ty member.
Retirement 'Must'
Hardin described the
funded retirement program
as a ""must" in keeping the
present staff and in attract
ing capable staff members in
the future.
The balance of the re
quested general budget fund
increase ($865,000) has been
designated for operating ex
penses resulting from higher
utility costs and maintenance
of new buildings, for books,
equipment and capital im
provements. In addition to the $5,605,&93
requested from the state.
Comptroller Joseph Soshnik
estimated an income of $300,-
000 from student fees.. This
estimate was figured on the
basis of the current enroll
ment. Any additional f a c u 1 1 y
members needed because of
an increase in enrollment
during tne next two years
will be financed by the cor
responding increase in tui
tion, Hardin said.
The 1959-61 budget request
for general fund increased
appropriations by the state
was originally $5.9 million.
Governor Ralph Brooks ini
tially recommended granting
only $2 million of the re
quested amount but later re
vised his recommendation to
$4 million.
Brooks final recommenda
tion was taken into account
and the approved budge re
sulted in a $1.9 million trim
of the figure asked by the
University.
