University Opens Doors
Without Needed Funds
Once again ai the University opens its doors to
higher education, the Daily Nebraskan starts its trek to-
wards what we hope to be a productive and enjoyable
year. .
Although the physical appearance of our campus
remains unchanged, this is not the University we left
last spring. .
. The most notable change we find is the defeated
crusade to brine; the entire needed State funds to our
institution for efficient functioning. As we left last June,
the University administrators were busy presenting their
proposed biennial budget to the Nebraska State Unlearn-
eraL Chancellor Clifford Hardin and other top officials
spent several days and weeks preparing, checking, re-
checking, explaining and presenting their pitch to our
State senators for an Increase of nearly $5 million over
the previous appropriation.
After weeks of hassling and compromising the State
senators voted to add $2.8 million over the $25 million
budget granted for the previous two years. This $2 mil-
lion less than the proposal. - .
Just how will this effect the operation of one Of the
State's largest and most vital institutions? There can be
no definite assumption yet but the cutback will definitely
affect the future plans of the Adminy Hall directors.
James Pittenger, assistant to the chancellor has noted
that the cutback will not seriously hinder the overall
operation this year but expressed doubts about the fol-
lowing year. ; - .
Pittenger's main concern was along the lines of fac-
nlty and administrative salaries. We, too, feel that any
institution of higher education is only as good as its
instructors. Regardless of how crowded classrooms and
living units may get, or regardless of how much
we seed an art gallery or a street paved, we must con-
tinne to retain and attract the top flight faculty.
The rising costs of education and standard of living
now stare tis in the face. The challenge to the University
officials is no small one and we take serious note of their
problem. Let this situation impress upon us as tax-
payers and legislators the actual price we must pay to
enable the University of Nebraska to keep up with pro
gress and thereby continue to exist.

New Meters, Pavement
Designed to Help All
Monday morning marks the opening of the fall
semester and with it the growing problem of parking
on campus. This well known fact immediately brings
to mind the installation of parking meters on the north
side of Selleck Quadrangle parking lot.
Only a few short weeks ago the University finished
resurfacing the northern section of the lot and in the
process knocked ouf 99 parking stalls, bringing the
grand tots to 198 stalls taken out of the entire lot
To several car owners the parking meters may
em an injustice. However, we invite you to hear the
purpose of both the parking meters and the paving.
" It is a simple case of not being able to have the
cake and tat it too. Prior to the resurfacing the park
ing lot was nothing more than a sea of mud most of
the year. Bumps and scrapes to cars in the lot were
commonplace as were muddy clothes to the owners.
Furthermore, full or empty, the lot was an eyesore to
the general appearance of the campus.
The solution was logical one and agreeable to
h&Sh the Administration and the Student Council. The
funds from parking permits and money collected from
traffic violations were used to pave the lot and install
the meters. The loss of parking space was Inevitable
when the paving Job was done.
Now we have those who are complaining because
of the lost space. It is interesting to note that among
this group we find, the same people who were crying
for a more beautiful campus.
The purpose of the meters, according to Adminis
trative officials, is twofold.
It has been proven that where parking meters are
tised, the traffic moves much faster enabling more
people to use them. This area is open to all now and
may be used by the Lincoln student, the campus stu
dent and the people visiting Morrill Hall, Bancroft
school or other areas attracting non-student visitors.
Secondly, the money from the meters will go into
the tame fund that was set up to provide for the
meters and paving In Selleck Quadrangle lot. In long
range terms this may mean more hard surfacing and
meters and, as a result, further elimination of banged
op cars and muddy shoes.
With an eye to the future we can expect to see less
and less permanent-type parking, which would gradu
ally cause car owners to leave their cars off campus
and walk to class. As a sideline the "campus beautifi
cation" program might well claim another victory as
the mud and the mire disappear.
It takes no great mind to see that the traffic situa
tion on campus is getting worse. With the possibility
of an up in enrollment there will be more automo
biles. Therefore, we look upon the resurfacing and in
stallation of parking meters as positive action to ease
the situation.
We cannot cay that these changes will solve the
parking dilemma. We only encourage each driving
student and faculty member to try this plan. If there
are those who would ease the problem in a different
manner we are certain that the University officials
would more than welcome your suggestions. (N.B.)

What's Happening?
By Dick Stuckey
I
i
As usual, as always we
return to resume our ensue-
ing consumption. Students
i do that They're like that.
I But more important, this
I return to the struggle in the
I classroom and lab reminds
s us of our opportunities and
I responsibility to advise our
new beanied brothers and
i sisters of the pitfalls and
heartaches which the ill-in-
formed may encounter, like
flunking out. So, today, our
cry, "stamp out failure,"
i goes up like the end of a
scale that we and our
friends so seldom see.
And now that New Stu
I dent Week is over we must
proceed with continual j-e-
fverberation that we're a 1 1
in this together so here ap-
pears some helpful hints for
I scholastic success.
1 1. TAKE GOOD NOTES
I This is the basic in-
gredient in successful study
I ing. Efficient notetaking de
1 mands three things
1 paper, pencil and either a
S left handed person next to
you who knows what is hap
pening or a good friend on
the front row who can hear
what's being said. Yo.u
I should realize, though, that
1 notes alone cannot get you
through the semester. You
need $132 plus another $125
I for the final if you can find
the person who has it.
I As an added tip, it is
I benificial to study in groups
i of three and four. Compare
notes, laughing like crary
at them funny little scribbly
lines you made when you
fell asleep.
1 2. SELECT A GOOD
I CLASSROOM SEAT.
a This is especially impor-
tant in 6mall classes. The
I athletic department will
provide you with the sched-
ules of the varsity line, and
I if you carefully wait out
i side the door on the first
I day of class for a left
I tackle with crossed gland
wires, the seat aft will pro-
vide excellent coverage
I from the questions and eyes
I of the emeritus. However,
there is more than an out
side chance, that this per-
3 son with the progressed pi
I tuitary may not show again.
I In larger classes, a seat
i ia th balcony near the door
is not to be taken lightly.
As a matter of f act, y on
s may have to fight to get it.
I If yon lose, however, do not
I let this dampen your atti-
tude change sections.
I S. KEEP PUNCTUAL
I Nothing can disrupt class
more than a late-comer es
I pecially if it is November
and it is the first attend
x ence. Late papers and
themes don't speak well for
s the student, nor for the
1 writer, and makeup tests
tend to run $5 to $10 higher
than ordinary. '
I 4. PLAN YOUR SCHEDULE
f EFFECTIVELY
Spend five to six hours'
working on class schedule
I which will save precious
time and consolidate your
f hours.
1 Then turn it. in to your
advisor and watch him work
on it He'll laugh, he'll roll
on the flo&r then using his
pencil as a rapier, he'll
strike' coirses and add
courses 8 o'clock, six
o'clock, Saturday classes,
Saturday night classes, un
til you leave with the sat
isfaction and comfort which
guidance always gives. If
yon stick your head back
into the coliseum, you will
still be able to hear them,
In Hysterics, showing the
other camp counselors what
yon tried to get away with.
S."BLY YOUR BOOKS
CAUTIOUSLY - f- i
The bookstore will be glad '
to assist. You may be able
, to note employees sneaking
around slipping expensive
Eversharps and $40 slide
rules into the cute little
sack you are carrying
around by the nice handles
that will bust when you get
to the middle of the inter
section. . GET TO KNOW
YOUR LVSTRUCTOR
It is important that yon
become familiar with your
professor early because job
will probably need them
to sign about eight hours of
drops in October. However,
these educational giants
will be anxious to know yon
and yon will undoubtedly're
ceive several invitations to
their homes for dinners and
such. And they will contin
ually be dropping in to see
how yon are coming with
your work. You will be able
to find them easily in then
office. Some of them are
easier than others of
course ...
7. ASK QUESTIONS
Don't feel hesitant about
clearing the slightest little
detail which you have con
cerning the course. Many
a student feels that h i s
classmates will howl and
jeer when he inquires about
a point unclear in his own
mind, but thi6 is not true.
They may smirk a little,
and guffaw up their top
coats and some will break
out in uncontrollable laugh
ter, but this will not thwart
the better student. He'll
blunder on, making a fool
of himself every MWF, but
remember nothing adds
spark to a course more than
a good joke,, now and then,
so ask questions
if. ORGANIZE YOUR
STUDY TIME
YouH find this a neces
sily if you're to keep up
wiih the pace of the am
bitious student. A s i m p 1 e
evening study timetable on
the night before a test
might go like this:
7 to 10 p.m. TV
10 to 10:15 "p.m. collect ,
notes, books and what ever '
else is important clothes,
pajamas, medical supplies
10:15 to 10:30 Call for a
pizzs .
10:30 to 11:30 Wait for
pizza. .
11:30 to 11:45 Call pizza
shop and chew out the pizza
man for not delivering the
pizza yet.
11:46 Pay pizza man who

Flowerpot
By Gretchen Shellberg
Spring is the accepted
time for sewing new seeds,
but September is also a
busy time for that old gard
ner, Mr. Administration.
If you
don't be
lieve this,
look around
at the new
ideas
springi n g
up. That
new bunch
of grcan
sapli n g s
(that's you,
Shellberg
freshmen)
set out last
spring are ready to mature.
But not all of them will
have the chance.
There's going to be some
mighty careful pruning go
ing on and the Old Gardner
has already begun. The sap
lings that are weak will be
weeded out and the first
step in that direction is the
tightening op of schedules.
Kiddies, things are getting
tough. Basket weaving is a
thing of the past This Uni
versity is on its way to the
very top and the only ray
it can grow up is by weed
ing out the scraggly under
brush and giving the strong
saplings the special care
they need.
For those of you who
don't dig horticulture, the
point is that Old NU ain't
what she used to be. It is
no longer possible to sluff
by courses and erarlnaia
with the group. Competition
is the coming trend on this
campus, as it is everywhere
else.
As the number of college
age people increases, the
University, along with other
schools across the country,
finds its enrollment growing
faster than its iacilities.
There are t solutions to
this problem of "bursting at
the seams.'
First. tie administration
is making provisions tor
new class buildings and
dormitories. But this solu
tion cannot bring immediate
relief within the next year
or two. Thus, the second
solution comes about. The
University's academic pro
gram is tightening op to
eliminate the weak stu
dents, particularly on the
freshman leveL There are
few restrictions on entrance
to the University and prac
tically every resident of Ne- j
braska with the necessary
high school credits may en
roll at NU. This necessi
tates the "weeding out"
process.
Many.freshmea win find
they are taking 17-11 hours
including stiff five hour
courses such as language or
science. A word to the wise,
and more importantly, a
word to the un-wise: this is
not an accident. Year

.. When you come
right down to it, do we
have to have a reason . . .
With this monumental
proclamation the year's
first victim of nearsighted
unpractical thinking bit
the dust.
This is an obituary for
Steve Ellenburg and his'
loyal c o m p a n 1 c n the
handy-dandy, all purpose
compact home.
With the crucial housing
problem staring the ad
ministration in the mug

darkness appeared A
prophet who only wanted
to do his small part to
alleviate administrative
tension.
What happened to this
young man is the story of
so many men who were
born before their time so
to speak.
He was spurned from
the warmth of this cam
pus and forced to wander
the streets a lonely, but
not forgotten waif.
What has happened to

schedule is hard for a pur
pose; the administration
wants to' see if you can
measure up to its rising
academic standards. Yon
can't afford to not consider
these standards as yon be
gin your classes come Mon-
aay.
No one is out to get you.
The administration is just
trying to make this a
strong, highly academic in
stitution. Those who were on the
campus this summer saw a
different kind of student
body. There were older
teachers, school suoerin.
tendents and college gradu
ates coming back with a
strong desire for more
knowledge. There were also
high school students or June
graduates who wanted to
get a head start in college
level courses. It amounted
to a desire for learning
which has perhaps not been
so strongly felt on this cam
pus during the regular
school term. The result
was freer classroom discus
sion, students with assign
ments completed far in ad
vance, and the center of
activity shifting from the
Crib to the library.
This trend is going to be
more prevalent during the
fall and winter semesters,
too, as more students real
ize it takes more than mid
night oil just on the night
before an exam. Its going
to take consistent work to
be a growing sapling in
stead of the pruned out
underbrush.
