A shift in the location of one of two Interstate Highway

"While I recognize it would

Council Decides
Against 'State Fair
The Student Council has de
cided to veto an All-Univer
sity Open-House for high
school students this year.
The Council made its de
cision after Dave Mvers ex
plained his position and find
ings while heading the open
house committee. His renort
cleared up the confusion ere
ated at last week's meeting.
The openhouse committee
is now working on plans to
co-ordinate various open
nouses now being held by the
different colleges. President
Ken Tempero also asked the
committee to look for new
ideas for a possible college
days plan for the future.
Myers gave three main rea
sons why one large open
house would not be practical
after meeting with his com
mittee, studying last year's
committee report and talking
to Fred Rickers, chairman of
last year's committee.
"Such a program would de
velop into a University of Ne
braska 'State Fair' rather
than accomplishing its in
tended purpose," Myers said
it would require more
than one day -to include all
the basic events deemed nec
essary. More than 90 per cent
of the Nebraska high school
superintendents responding to
questionnaires said that they
might support such a pro
gram if its activities were
confined to a single day. It
is illogical to think that the
many events associated Tith
sucn a program could pos
sibly be restricted to one
day," he explained.
The final reason given to
the Council members for
dropping the open-house was
because the existing open
houses in the various depart
ments and colleges are hesi
tant in pledging their support
to an untried, underdeveloped
program, according to Myers.
ceives $6.50 ner
from each full time student
According to Dr. Samuel
Fuenning, director of the
Center, this amount is not
enough to meet increased
costs of nurses, supplies and
use ot tne tenter by students
The number of students
hospitalized during one year
has risen more than 60 per
cent in the past five years
and the total number of visits
to the Center has also in
creased, Fuenning explained.
The Center must now also
assume financial resnonsihil-
ity for its mental hygiene di
vision, which was established
by funds donated by the
Woods Charitable Fund nf
Lincoln through the Univer
sity foundation.

The additional $89,375 to th

meet the steadily increasing
costs of supplies, Comptroller
Joseph Soshnik added.
This is the second time tui
tion has been increased in
less than four years.
On April 23, 1957, the Board
of Regents voted to raise in
state tuition $30 and out-state
tuition $60 a semester, effec
tive the fall term of th
1957-1958 school year.
Money Troubles
This action followed a num
ber of money troubles be
tween the University and
state eovernment. Fnrmpr
Governor Victor Anderson
approved a $3.2 million in
crease in the University
budget. $2.3 million
the Chancellor's request. The
budget committee of the Leg
islature then slashed $1 mil.
lion off the Governor's figure.
The increase in tuition in
1957 was calculated to pro
duce approximately $1 million
during each biennium. It gave
the University of Nphrasta
the highest tuition rate at
that time for resident s t u-
dents in the Big Seven Con
ference, and the second high
est for nonresidents
Chancellor Clifford HaMin
stated at that time that he
and the Board of Recent
felt that the raises were the
maximum that the Unicam

without significantly endan

He observed that:
1. Contrary to popular opin

2. The people are very con

3. There is an almost puri

Sun? Buy an almanac!
The 1961 Old Farmer's
Almanac by Robert Thom
as features these and other
equally intriguing anec
dotes, astronomical and
astrological . data, homey
recipes, select rhymes and
pleasantries for this, its
159th year of publicaton.
Snowstorm Predicted
The answers to the ques
tions a woman's chances
of getting married between
the ages of 15 and 20 were
14 per cent and her
chances to marry between
20 and 25 were 52 per cent
in 1905. A snowstorm will
chill Nebraska the 13th of
this month. Rostov, a point
north of the Black Sea in
Russia, will be darkened for
156 minutes on February
15, 1961 by a total eclipse
of the sun.
So vital has this ency
clopedia become that sev
eral y e a r s ago it was se
lected as one of the 100
American publicatons hav
ing the most influence upon
the life and culture of peo
ple of the United States.
The included Boatsman'i
Bible, for example, com
mands 'Thou shalt not op
erate thy craft under the
Influence of more than 0.15
per cent of alcohol (by
weight) in thy blood, or
permit another to do so."
Those born under the
sign of Scorpio (between
Oct. 23 and Nov. 22) pos
sess "Mar's gift of body
well-proportioned and bold
for love trysts."
Dandelion Wine
Dandelion wine may be
prepared with only water,
2 quarts of dandelion blos
soms, oranges, lemons,
yeast and sugar.
The first built-in bath
tub was cased in mahog
any and lined with sheet
lead, weigiang close to a
ton. Constructed in Cicin
nati, O., the seven foot by
four foot tub was filled with
water on Dec. 20, 1842. Be
lieving indoor bathing
would cause chronic colds,
doctors encouraged the lev
ying of a $30 tax on each
bathtub to discourage their
use.
Precipitation in Omaha
will be 59 per cent below
normal in January through
April of 1963.
Finally, in a special por
tion "Concerning Kisses,"
the Old Farmer's Almanac
quotes an ancient women
hater as saying "The kiss
is the Aurora of love, but
the sunset of chastity."
Then, too, the monks of
1 the middle ages considered
the kiss of love from three
vantage points: the kiss
given by ardent enthusi
asm, as by lovers; that by
matrimonial affection; or,
lastly, the kiss between two
men an awful kiss, tast
ing like sandwiches without
butter or meat
The Almanac has been on
sale since Nov. 1, 1960 and
costs 35c (list price).
