others, and to organize their efforts into
smooth running and purposeful activities."
PATTY SPILKER

for changes has led her to include many
innovations in the AWS program." Other

Parking Problem Police
Have Statistical Reason
By DICK YOUNG
Have you ever wondered
why you couldn't find a
parking place on campus?
A simple mathematical de
duction would answer your
question. According to the
Campus Police, 3,188 parking
permits have been issued for
the school year.
When compared to the to
tal enrollment of the Univer
sity this amount seems to be
a small percentage. But the
Campus Police records re
veal that there are only 1,819
parking spaces available.
To combat this problem
many students arrive on cam
pus early each morning. Cars
usually start appearing
around 7 a.m. and by 7:30
a.m. most spaces around the

"As important as her own leadership
contributions is her ability to inspire lead
ership in others. Her personal interest and
devotion to the people with whom she
works and the campus for which she works
illustrates the high qualities to be found
in this outstanding University student,"
concluded the letter.
IVAN GRUPE
The letter nominating Ivan Grupe, se
nior in Arts and Sciences, for Outstanding
Nebraskan cites his "driving personality
and outstanding leadership" which "have
set a precedent for others to follow. His
tireless devotion to the school and his fra
ternity has certainly been a source of in
spiration and leadership."
The letter notes that "last year, Ivan
was Prince Kosmet, an Eligible Bachelor,
Assistant Treasurer of Young Republicans,
a member of the Cornhusker Protegee Pro
gram, N Club member, and a member of
the Lutheran Student Ilouse Choir.
"Ivan has excelled for three years as a
Varsity Basketball player, twice being
named 'Star of the Week'. He was also a
member of the Varsity track team for two
years. "Ivan has constantly strived for the
Greek system and to better relations be

president of Sigma Phi Epsilon.
"He is an outstanding, dynamic indi

CLAYTON YEUTTER
Clayton Heutter is next in line to re
ceive the nomination for the "Outstanding"
award.
The letter says, "Although his name is
not common to most of the student body,
he was active in student activities and his
fraternity, Farm House, during his under
graduate work. Since then he has been
making an excellent name for himself
throughout the state.
"Clayton is the father of three and he
is active in his church, community affairs
and Boy Scouts."
Yeutter is a senior in Law College with
over an 8 average. "He has taken every
possible honor given by Law College includ
ing the 1962-63 Law Review Editor-in-Chief.
In addition to his full law course and
many other activities, he is working on his
PhD in the College of Agriculture," stated
the letter.
He is a member of the University's
three-man moot court Uum which compet
ed for the national moot court finals in
New York City.
"I feel that the true Outstanding Ne
braskan should have done a few things
outside the realm of student activities and
Clayton certainly has accomplished this,"
said the nominating letter.
NANCY MILLER
Nominating Nancy Miller, a letter stat
ed, "Nancy has proved her leadership by
holding three presidencies and serving on
various boards." She has been past presi
dent of ACE, is now president of Student

Masters of the Campus Po

were not then using the space
available off campus but now
they are using it more.
The faculty has been con
fronted with this problem but
some new lots are helping.
There have been 827 permits
issued to faculty member for
the 515 spaces.
Another question that you
might have wondered about
is, "What happens to all the
money taken in from parking
violations?" This amount to
taled $18,209 last year.
The money is used for im

"Dr. Hough is indeed an outstanding

The letter states that the highest honor,

Dr. Hough's classes.

A resolution commending
Governors Gather
To Discuss Issues
By SUSAN SMITHBERGER
Nebraskan Staff Writer
In speaking on the proposed
budget for the University,
Governor Morrison said at a
gathering of University stu
dents that whatever he rec
ommends or whatever the
Legislature a ipriates for
theUniven , y won't be
enough to satisfy the needs
of the University.
At the Dinner With the Gov
ernors, sponsored by the Ne
braska Union, the Governor
pointed out that the Legisla
ture was in a much better
position than he to analyze
the money needed because
they have access to a fiscal
analyst.
"I have no basis to analyze
the needs except through the
budget that is proposed. I
have a responsibility to keep
increases in line so no one
agency comprises an amount
of the budget that is out of
proportion to the rest."
"In the future, there is go
ing to be an increase in the
University budget every bi
ennium. There will be no pla
teau," said Morrison.
In the informal discussion,
the Governor spoke on the
traffic toll in Nebraska. He
said that the more the num
ber of safety precautions tak
en on the state level, the
higher the death toll rose. He
pointed out that many pro
posals are now before Legis
lature but that it is the edu
cators and clergy who must
become aroused about the
moral obligations of driving
and must convince their stu
dents and congregations of
this fact.
"I realize that I am a fail
ure in trying to cut the traf
fic toll but so is every other
Nebraskan," said Morrison.
He made a plea for any ideas
that will work on our state
roads.
"The loss of Steve Cass,
one of Nebraska's leaders is
only one example. I can mul
tiply that many times. The
cost of leadership to Nebra-

ic cost of these accidents
alone is more than the total
cost of operating the Univer

-In further discussions the
Governor supported a non
partisan Legislature, saying
that all anyone would have to
do to control the whole Leg
islature in a Republican state
like Nebraska, is to control
the Republican leader if we
had a bipartisan system.
Lt. Gov'r. Burney, also in
attendance at the gathering,
differed with the Governor.
He said that at the time of

plan, the plan was
