to over 600 University stu
dents by television next fall,
aocording to Charles Miller,
dean- of the College of Busi
ness Administration.
"For the college of Busi
ness Administration," said
Dean Miller, ' this is an ex
periment, and we'd prefer to
do our experimenting before
a great influx of students ar
rives. We expect, for example,
a substantial increase in the
fall of 1965."
The course will be taught

professor of economics. Dr.
McConnell has recently pub

This session will probably
consist of about 20 students
in a simulated classroom sit

Any one or all of 107 B,
205, 217 and 314, could be
used at one time for the

There will be a total of 11

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."

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

In a pilot program con

those youngsters have more
hard work ahead of them."
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. The Ed
ucational Committee has cut out the bill's proposed .33
of a mill special levy.

"It is also significant that

is here for the profession of
journalism to realize that
the kinds of free enterprise
funds being fed into these

support of all newspapers

sisted the J-School students
with scholarships, summer
internships and the oppor
tunity to take part in field
