Prominent Leaders
To Express Views
At Space Assembly
Sixty prominent leaders in
business, industry, education,
labor and communications
from seven Midwestern states
will express their views on the
revolution in outer space at
the Great Plains Assembly
on Outer Space next Thurs
day through Sunday at the
Nebraska Center.
For three days the partici
pants will meet in small dis
cussion groups to exchange
ideas and opinions on such is
sues as peaceful uses of outer
space, the impact on the
American economy, the task
for government, international
cooperation in space science,
arms and arms control in out
er space, prospects for law
and order, and the shaping
of a public policy for the
space age.
On the final day the entire
group will meet in plenary
session to prepare and ap
prove a report of findings and
recommendations, which will;
be printed and circulated na
tionally. The Great Plains Assembly
is being sponsored jointly by
the University and The Amer
ican Assembly of New York
founded by Dwight Eisenhow
er in 1950 when he was presi
dent of Columbia University.
To assist the laymen in
their discussions, authorities
on various aspects of space
will address the group at the
dinner meetings, and lead
stimulating discussion on the
following days.
Among the speakers are:
DeMarquis Wyatt of Wash
ington, D.C., director of pro

Moot Court is a descrip

in this year's Senior Moot

University stndent body. Al
though couched in a hypo

question is: should the gov

opinions on various issues of
national importance. It was
the official administrator of
the President's Commission on
National Goals, which report

"He is well-liked and is the
students' number one choice."
Hutchinson's appointment
will fill a vacancy created
when Dr. William Gould left
in January to take a position
as director of the Department
of Student Work on the Meth
odist Board of Missions. Gould
had been director at the Foun
dation since June 1959. Hutch
inson has been acting director
since Gould left for New York.
Hutchinson was just select

to attend a World Student
Christian Federation confer

summer.

Pigs!
Some Nebraska pigs
; seem to have a social
! problem that has noth-
ing to do with the So
I ciety for Indecency to
! Naked Animals.
The incidence of tail
biting or cannibalism
i among swine has in
j creased markedly in Ne
I braska during the past j
! few years, a University i
specialist says.
"Nearly 100 per cent ;
I of these cases have oc- j
j curred in confinement
nnits where the amount j
j of space per pig is lim- j
i ited," according to Dr. i
i Leo Lucas, Extension an- j
: imal husbandman at the j
University.
Although the exact rea- i
son why tail biting oc-
I curs is not clear, it ap- i
pears to be a social prob- j
I lem due to close confine- j
: ment, Lucas said.
"The lack of some j
I item or material for the j
j pig to dig in or chew on j
! may encourage him to j
bite other hogs in t h e i
pen," he said.
Some suggested man- j
agement ideas which j
have helped producers j
overcome this problem I
are as follows:
1. When tail biting oc- j
curs in a pen, it is likely I
that only one or two hogs j
are actually biting. I
Farmers may observe j

culled from the pen. j
I (Hint look for pigs with i
tail intact).
I 2. Observation on farms j
I has indicated that where j
I pea dividers are made of

the wood and apparent- i
1 ly relieve some of their j
desire to bite other hogs. !

I throw in pliable objects I
I such as tires, cloth j
sacks, etc., which are I

Council Supports Veto
Of Paper Investigation
Student Council yesterday
unamimously passed a mo
tion introduced by Steve
Christensen to endorse the ac
tion of the Board of Regents
in rejecting the proposed in
vestigation of the Daily Ne
braskan. The motion resolved that
"the Student Council of the
University of Nebraska go on
record as heartily endorsing
the action of the Board of
Regents on a proposed inves
tigation of the Daily Nebras
kan and as applauding said
Board's reaffirmation of faith
in the ideals of a student
newspaper.
"Further that the Council

fine letter to Dr. Wall ex

and faith in freedom
possessed by responsible Xe
braskans." Sweet recently wrote a let
ter to Dr. William Hall, di
rector of the School of Jour
nalism, refusing to act on the
committee if Val Peterson's
proposed investigation should
take place.
Steve Honey, chairman of
the elections committee, said
that students wishing to file
for Student Council general
election may pick up appli
cations from Dean Frank Hall

must be accompanied by 25

Jim Hix, rush chairman, re
vealed that an additional rush
week will be held during the
second semester of next year,
thus giving the Greeks a rush
week for each semester.
The double rush week is de
signed for two purposes. First,
it will enable those boys to
pledge a fraternity who were
not in the upper one-half of
their graduating class, but
who have earned a 5.0 grade
average at the University dur
ing the first semester. Sec
ond, it will stimulate the fra
ternities, and eliminate any
lag in second semester pledg
ing. The Fraternity Management
Association (FMA) is in the
process of evaluating its pro
gram, according to Grant
Gregory, chairman of t h e
committee.
In other business, John No
Ion introduced a motion that
the IFC go on record as sup
porting the Innoeent's safety

will be conducted during

By JOHN LONNQUIST
Nebraskan Staff Writer
One hundred and eight "Friends of the University,,
met at the Lincoln Hotel yesterday noon to discuss the
future of the University.
The noon banquet was attended by outstanding in
dividuals invited from each of the six Regent's districts.
"We hope yon'll see the problem in the same way
as' we do," said Regent Val Peterson to those attending,
"and that we'll. take some effective action before we leave
here today,"
The problem referred to by
Peterson is the University's
need for money. "We are in
terested in the present Legis
lative session, but I think the
die is cast," commented for
mer governor Peterson.
"I think the Governor put
the ceiling on the budget,
when he cut it. My guess is
that the Legislature cuts be
low the Governor. Governors
and legislatures are very
careful in this sort of thing.
They want to be re-elected,"
he said.
Peterson said that the pur
pose of the group attending
the noon banquet will be to
start an organization called
"Friends of the University"
which will be continuous and
forever. .
"We need to explain the
University to the people of
the state. It needs to be ex
plained long in advance of
the election of the state legis
lators. Minds are made up
when trie legislative session
starts," observed Peterson.
According to Peterson,
those men in the legislature
have varying degrees of know
ledge about educational insti
tutions and what they can do.
Some of them are in favor,
some are apathetic and others
are positively against them.
The University has never
been able to do what it is
supposed to. "This is no criti
cism of Chancellor Hardin,"
said Peterson.
"We should form a long
range program with all facts
on the table; with people prop
erly informed we can get the
University the support it
needs. All we want is an un
derstanding," he said.
"The legislators are not
masters of the state," said
Peterson. "The people are."
The organization is to consist
of people in the state who
are interested in their state
and its growth, regardless of
whether or not they attended
the University.
The newly formed organiza
tion will be taken completely
out of the University. The of
fices will be downtown and
the staff will be paid by the
funds of the organization.
That way there will be no
reason for any investigations
by the Legislature, according
to Peterson. "It's going to
cost us a little money" he
said. "We hope not too
much."
The new group will function
with two members from each
of the six districts forming
'.the executive council, and a
OSS
mately equal population,
which shall be numbered
from one to six, consecu
tive numbers to be given
adjacent districts. Such dis
tricts shaft correspond, as
nearly as may be practica
ble, in location and num
bers with the present six
Congressional Districts of
the State.
Such districts shaU not be
changed except upon the
concurrence of two-thirds
of the Legislature, nor shall
any such change vacate the
office of any regent. Until
such districts are estab
lished, the six Congression
al Districts of the State as
now constituted and num
bered shall be the districts
provided for by this sec
tion. In making such redistrict
ing the Legislature may
Weigh historical fact Tid
basis, geographic Interest,
area, in such proportion as
shall be deemed proper by
it, but in no case shall a
district contain more than
35 counties as presently
constituted.
F CI
committee of ten members
within each district
Those named to the execu
tive council were: Mrs. Mor
ris Hughes, Humboldt; Otto
Liebers, Lincoln, Cecil John
son, Omaha; Bruce Thomas,
Omaha; Emil Reutzele, Nor
folk; Dale BaU, Fremont;
Henry Klosterman, David Ci
ty; Maurice Hevelone, Beat
rice; Carson Russell, McOook;
Mrs. Harold Prince, Grand
Island; Mrs. Essie Davis;
and George Dene, North
Platte.
According to Chancellor Clif
ford Hardin, the University is
not an end in itself. "It was
created to serve a purpose
for the people of the state,
and has been expanded, when
necessary, to further that
purpose."
This year the University's
Regents have asked for an
increase of nine million dol
lars in its budget to further
this purpose.
"There is no padding in the
budget as far as we know,"
said Regent Peterson. If we
want to save money, let's cut
up part of the University. But
I dont think anyone wants
that. We have the means to
support a good University,"
he added.
Chancellor Hardin explained
to the group some of the rea
sons for the increase in the
budget presented to the state
legislature by the Board of
Regents.
"A university is j a s t as
good as its people," he said.
"It can be no better. We are
in a period when people are
in demand. Is addition to eth
er universities, business and
industrial firms are wanting
the same type of people.
We're not turning oat enough
teachers and so the price of
teachers wifl probably contin
ue to go up."
Hardin said that in order
to keep our loss ratio near
normal we must appropriate
enough money to pay compet
itive salaries. Four years
ago, our salaries for fuU pro
fessors were $1917 lower than
comparative schools, and our
faculty losses were great.
Last year, this margin was
reduced to $923 and Nebras
ka's loss ratio was average.
This year, we are offering
$1,382 less to professors on
an average for comparative
size schools. -
In regard to Increasing en
rollment, Hardin said that the
question is not when wfQ we
hit an enrollment of 20,000.
It doesn't matter whether it
is in 1971 or 1974. The ques
tion is win we be ready for
It. "Will we be ready with
faculty? Will we be ready
with facilities?" be asked.
"We are at a point where
the existing faculty and facil
ities wffl not do the job. We
must expand. We must be
ready for those enrollments in
1965 through 1969." Hardin
said. '
