This year's win against the nation's other accred ited journalism schools was Letters Call Dr. Reinhardt 'Outstanding' Two letters have been re ceived nominating Dr. James Reinhardt, professor of crim inology, for the title of Out standing Nebraskan. "Dr. Reinhardt's repu tation," read one letter, "as an author, lecturer aid teach er has been clearly estab lished. "Only last week," it con tinued, "Dr. Reinhardt was elected to the Police Hall of Fame for Distinguished Serv ice, becoming the first edu cator to receive such a dis tinction." His "skill in dealing with students," read part of the other nominating letter, "makes his courses among the most popular in the Uni versity. His services for con sulfation are sought by edu cators and law officers from all over the country innumer able times each year." One letter noted that al though recognition at local levels is often overlooked and services are taken for grant ed, higher authorities objec tively evaluate and honor deserving persons. Dr. Rein hardt, continued the letter, has been one such person. Reinhardt has reached the University's mandatory retire ment age. "It is therefore only fitting that NU students recognize his service to their University, as others h ve recognized his service to his profession, by naming a truly Outstanding Nebraskan."

The three team members to arrive today are R. B. Finch, Robert Bryan and Miss Barbara Larrey. They will be available for visits in organized living units at the request of the living unit.

Morrison) D MU Budget Con The Legislature cannot cut back the budget recom mendation of $33 million from the general fund for the University without hurting the institution, said Gov. Frank Morrison Monday. "I have no ambition for the University to keep up with other Big Eight institutions I don't want anybody to be superior to the University in educational and re search programs, he continued. Questioned on why he had cut the University's re quest from $37 to $33 million, the Governor said that peo ple who think spending money is the answer to all prob lems are suffering from a disease. He said that money was "necessary" but that it was not the only factor to be considered. Morrison noted that in his budget message to the Legislature he had recommended pursuit of a systematic program of increasing the University's budget to where it would be double its present size in ten years an in crease of 20 each biennium. The Governor's recommendation for a $5 million in--crease next biennium is just under 18 compared with the University's request for $9 million more, which would equal a 33 increase over current appropriations. "There was some question in my mind whether the University could assimilate a full 30 increase in one Baldwin Receives $2,400 Fellowship Stanley Baldwin, a senior at the University, has been awarded a $2,400 National De fense Education Act Fellow ship to study English at the University of Kentucky.

In a pilot program con ducted at the University of Wisconsin, 426 applicants took the test. Many of these stu dents were liberal arts sen iors who did not believe them selves qualified to serve in the Peace Corps, according to Wright. ' The streamlined selection program is the heart of the special effort we want to con duct at the University. Under this program, students who apply and take the test will know within two weeks wheth er they will be accepted for training.

"The achievement would have been impossible with out the magnificent prepa ration given them by other J-School professors and those in the College of Arts and Sciences.

Professor Copple's class in depth reporting was started three years ago as an experiment to upgrade the quality of newswriting instruction. He has been assisted from the beginning by Mrs. Emily Trickey, re search assistant. During this period, artl- cles by students enrolled in the class have been read by millions. They have re sulted in financial awards to the school and individual students in excess of $20, 000. Professor Copple could not attend the Washington ceremonies because of last minute revisions on a depth reporting bpok which will be published shortly. Dr. Hall noted that the winning students have held part-time jobs throughout their entire college career in paying all or part of their college costs. Three of the seven have served as editors of the Daily Ne braskan. "Again it is important to eel cures: j biennium," the Governor said. Morrison also said he believed that he had recom mended a greater increase, percentage wise, for NU than the governors of surrounding states had backed for their universities. He made the statements in connection with a defense of his support for education in which he claimed that contrary to assertions made in a recently published story, he believes he has given "more than lip-service" to ed ucation. "In the area of assuming responsibility on my own, I have appointed a committee on higher education, worked with the committee on mentally retarded, and reactivated ... the committee on the gifted child," Morrison added. He also cited trips he has made to Washington as liaison between educational institutions in the state and the federal government and the resulting research cen ter established at Mead, and the one- slated at Clay Cen ter, as well as laying the groundwork with the Atomic Energy Commission for research in which the Univer sity would participate. Concerning the financing of educational television, Morrison said he favored having new specific taxes on cigarettes or liquor or a direct appropriation.

"It is also significant that two of the other high-rank ing schools had outside fi nancial support. The time is here for the profession of journalism to realize that the kinds of free enterprise funds being fed into these programs is as vital as the equipment for a physics de partment or any of the sci ences." Dr. Hall also lauded the support of all newspapers in Nebraska who have as sisted the J-School students with scholarships, summer internships and the oppor tunity to take part in field trips.
