DROP ONE, ADD TWO Even though it is early, stu

their schedules. Many of them are the sorry results of
failing to pre-register or not paying their $25 reservation
deposit. Others are hapless victims from other schools
caught in the counter-crush.
University Expects
10,000 To Enroll
For the first time since the
post World War II boom the
University has a chance to
reach a total enrollment of
10,000.
Though final figures will
not be available until Octo
ber, it appears the total Uni
versity enrollment will be ap
proximately 10,000. From ear
ly indications there appears
to be an increase of about
200 "first-time" freshmen.
Approximately 2,500 new
students are expected to at
tend the University this year.
According to Lee Chatfield,
Director of the Junior Divi
sion and Counseling Service,
2,200 class reservation . de
posits have already been re
ceived and he expects at
least as many participants in
the New Student Week orien
tation as last year some
2,500. Of these, 2,300 were
begining freshmen.
An increase Is also expect
ed in the Graduate College
enrollment but the deadline
for Graduate registration will
not be reached until Sept. 29.
All together the University
has received applications for
admission from approximate
ly 3,800 freshmen and trans
fer students. Of course not
all the applicants will show
up for classes, said Chatfield.

quirement of the $25 deposit,

.NU Regents
Vice Chancellor
By GARY LACEY
A need for administrative
reorganization brought ac
tion in August by the Board
of Regents which gave addi
tional responsibilities to three
University administrators un
der the title of vice chancel
lors. Chancellor Clifford Hardin
recommended the reorganiza
tion in relation to suggestions
made in the 1960 Glenny Re
port on Higher Education in
Nebraska.
The three new vice chancel
lors are:
Dr. A. C. Breckenridge,
dean of faculties who contin
ues as the Chancellor's execu
tive officer in the general ad
ministration of the University
and in academic meetings.
As vice chancellor he is giv
en new responsibility for un
dergraduate education.
Dr. Joseph Soshnik, comp
troller and corporation secre
tary for the Board of Re
gents, who is now vice chan
cellor for business and fi
nance with responsibility for
all monetary affairs at the
University.

"The girls have com

wash clothes," according to
Jean Cooper, one of six
counselors in the women's

He was bound over to Dis

trial.
Spore was booked in Lan

night by Lincoln police nine
minutes after he robbed the

tion of Conservation and Sur

ment also gives new respon
sibilities but no change in
title to the office of the dean
of student affairs, taken over
on July 1 by Dr. G. Robert
Ross. In addition to the prev
ious functions of the office
which include scholastic and
conduct discipline, Dean Ross
was given direct responsibil
ity for the University's regi
tration and records, admis
sions, housing, the Student
Union and the student health
service.
The new assignments were
made without salary adjust
ment and without the addi
tion of new staff positions,
Chancellor Hardin said.
He explained that these ad
ministrative changes do not
alter the role of the academ
ic deans in carrying out their
responsibilities as tne cmei
officers of their respective
colleges. Also unaltered is the

building is opened, anyone
standing on the outside can

The prime purpose of the
adjustment, Chancellor Hard
in said, is to serve better th
current needs of the Univer
sity and to relieve the chan
cellors office of much routln
and detail work which can
be better handled elsewhere.
Under the new reorganiza
tion all units of the Univer
sity except intercollegiate ath
letics and public relations re
port on administrative mat
ters either to their respective
vice chancellor or to the
dean of student affairs.
Dr. Hardin explained that
several months ago the Board
of Regents authorized the em
ployment of a new associate
dean for the Graduate Col
lege and a new assistant to
the comptroller. Neither, has
yet been hired but the Chan
cellor said both will be added
eventually and would have
been added regardless of the
current administrative adjust
ment. Dr. Breckenridge said that
a complete organizational ad
ministrative chart will be re
leased within a few weeks
which will show the respon
sibilities of all administra
tive officials in relation to
the new vice chancellors.

laugh.
The dorm's counselors, too,
have their problems.
"We're trying to create a
feeling of community but it
is hard to accomplish with
800 boys around," Miss Coop
er said.
"There will be many prob
lems which must be solved
as we go along, but we ex
pect a successful year," she
said.
As the year progresses the
big job will be to mind the
sign on the bulletin board
which reads:
"Keep your drapes closed,
