The entire structure will be completed Campus May Have New Mall; Other Construction Moves Aheai Overall University construc tion has been progressing well and plans for campus beautification through land scaping are now being made, according to Noel Smith, Uni versity construction engineer. "The possibility that a mall will be built between the So cial Science building and the new Sheldon Art Gallery exists and we are hoping that it can be done," Smith said. This mall would be built on the land that 12th street pres ently occupies a n d a walk wide enough for a fire truck or other emergency vehicles would permit access to Uni versity buildings farther north, Smith explained. The idea for the mall came as a result of an attempt to set off the new art gallery and beautify the southern part of the campus. The old Administration building will be torn down to permit the new Nell By SUE HOVIK NVbratkan Staff Writer The University is silently observing the developments of the recommended U n i versity budget which Chan cellor Clifford Hardin has said is less than requested to continue1 present pro grams. In Gov. Frank Morrison's 1963-65 budget recommenda tions, the University re ceived a $5 million increase over its present expendi tures but had $4 million cut from its request. Presented to the Legisla ture on Jan. 21, the Uni versity budget received a recommendation for a gen eral fund appropriation of $33 million. The total budget for the University was set at $50, 851,000. It includes $6 mil lion in cash funds; $3.7 mil lion in federal funds; $5.7 million in buildings funds for the Lincoln campus and agricultural buildings; $260, 000 million in the spe cial levy for care of needy patients at the University Hospital, and $2 million special levy for the College of Medicine. No New Areas Gov. Morrison said h i s recommendation for the If ' ie Cochrane Woods building to be seen from the street and this would complete the open park around the new art gallery. The landscaping on this part of the campus will be complete in about one year, according to Smith. The Sheldon Art Gallery should easily be finished by its dedication date of May 15, he said. Work has progressed well and all but the final landscaping will be complet ed by the dedication. Work on the Twin Towers dormitory project has also progressed and the hope that both towers will be done by fall, 1963, is now a reality, Smith said. "Many people realize the wind problem on the top stor ies of the building," Smith said. "In addition to the obvi ous problems of high wind velocity, when it is 10 de grees and the wind is blowing 15 miles an hour, the relative University will allow it to "continue and improve" in present areas of operation, but not to enter new areas. Morrison's recommenda tion for higher education was a 20 per cent increase over this biennium, a figure which he said is "an abso lute minimum which cannot be reduced without damage to the state." lie noted the need for attracting high-ranking sci entists to help the Univer sity obtain grants. He also declared that spasmodic biennial ap proaches to budgeting in long - range educational needs is not the proper pro cedure. New Program Gov. Morrison outlined a progressive ten-year im provement program for higher education because of the need of doubling the budget for higher education ing the next ten years. He stressed the need for the ten-year plan and cen tralized administration of the higher education com plex. "We must build this, not competitive with the Big Eight, but as good as any thing in America," he said. Members of the budget PHOTO BY PIXIE SMALLWOOD for its dedication May 15.

The Nellie Cochrane Woods art building is nearly com pleted, and some classes are already being held there. The rest of the building will be opened by May.

Morri son ' s recommendations. Sen. William Moulton of Omaha and Sen. Hal Bri denbaugh of Dakota City both indicated opposition to the size of the overall bud get. No Revenue A local paper reported that the legislators liked the overall budget items but wondered where the reven ue was going to come from, Chan6eUor Hardin said, "The Governor has made a good statement of the problems and needs of high er education. However, I am keenly disappointed , with the dollar amounts rec- ' ommended." He added that the budget provides nothing for new rising enrollments, nothing for relief of the very spe cial problems at the C o 1 lege of Medicine, and noth ing for expanding the im portant program of agricul ture research. Dr. Ben Greenberg, president of the Board of Regents, said, "It is disap pointing, and quite possible that he merely recommend Seonafroirs Debate mmprovemnieini'il" IFor Irsiy Cammpys A bill to finance an $18 mil lion plan in capital improve ments for the University city campus over the next ten years with funds derived from a special .6 of a mill property tax levy was intro duced in the Legislature last week. The special levy would be in addition to the Universi ty's share of the current in stitutional building levy. Combined, these two levies would provide $5.7 million for University building purposes during a biennium, instead of the present $2.1 million bien nium allotment.

'Probation' Story Refuted The campus rumor that certain professors are oa "probation" for grading lower than their colleagues is com pletely false, according to Walter Wright, Dean of th Col lege of Arts and Sciences. "Point blank, I can say that absolutely no such restric tion that teachers must pass a certain percentage of a class or else have disciplinary action taken against them exists," the dean said. Professors are on their own in the classroom, and they have complete freedom with respect, to grading, Wright explained. "Let me repeat again, that no probation for failing a great percentage of a class exists in any form and absolute ly no teacher is teaching under such a status," Wright concluded. be considered by the Leg islature." Growth Needed Regent Val Peterson wished that Gov. Morrison would have acted upon the understanding reflected in his long-range program and included funds to permit growth and development at the University. "Institutions which do not move forward slide back ward," warned Peterson. "The budget will not al low for any growth and ex pansion, not provide for in creased staff needs, not remedy overcrowded condi tions at the College of Med icine, or meet additional ag ricultural needs," said Re gent Richard Adkins. He expressed hope that the Legislature sees fit to provide for these most crit ical areas. Carpenter Passive Sen. Terry "Carpenter of Scottsbluff said that he will accept whatever the Budget Committee recommends for the University budget. "Its people do nothing for those who attempt to help it. I intend to stop attempting to help those unwilling to help themselves."

However, the Scottsbluff legislator said he would try to help build the medi cal school at Omaha. Pressure No Help Regent C. E. Swansoa said that in 1961 there was a lot of pressure exercised by alumni but none of it swayed the committee. He noted that Carpenter, a good friend of the Uni versity, was not in the Legislature then and may not be aware of what hap pened. Swanson said that alumni efforts caused Sen. Briden baugh to call the Univer sity the "greatest political machine this state has seen." Bridenbaugh is vice chair man of the Legislature's budget committee. About a week ago a bill calling for a special .6 of a mill property tax levy to finance $18 million in capital improvements at the University city campus over the next decade was intro duced in the Legislature. It would be in addition to the University's share of the current institutional building levy,
