LEGISLATIVE FISCAL
ANALYST John Quigley said
his memorandum seeking de
tailed budget information was
not intended as an ultimatum.
The questionnaire seeks data
on departmental budget plans
for the 1963-64 fiscal year and
caused considerable adverse
reaction from the administra
tive branch of state govern
ment. SPECIAL L E G I SLATIVE
SESSION was called by Gov.
Frank Morrison to meet Oct.
21 to consider finance laws
and correct obvious mistakes
and omission1;. Included in the
special session call are 11
items related to the 1963-64
budget which come under the
heading of consideration of
the appropriation or reappro
priation of funds for specific
purposes.
STATE BANKING DIREC
TOR Ralph Misko resigned to
retain a contract to buy a con
trolling interest in a Holdrege
bank rather than continue his
term. Jlis resignation is effec
tive today, and Gov. Frank
Morrison early this week
launched a search to find
a new one as soon as possible.
A new law taking effect to
morrow prohibits the direc
tor from having an interest in
any institution supervised by

U.S. WHEAT SALE to Rus
sia will save the American
taxpayers about $200 million
in funds that otherwise would
go for storage and other costs,
according to Agriculture Sec
retary Orville Freeman. He
said that the sale would boost
wheat farmers' -income and
have a strengthening effect on
wheat prices.
U.S. ARMY CONVOYS will
avoid disputes with Soviet of
ficers over dismounting from
their vehicles in demonstrat

to Berlin. The official Wash

Soviets' sudden renewal of
Autobahn harassment last
weekend was that it had been
a miscalculation by a minor
Soviet officer which grew un
til the situation was abruptly
ended by higher level Soviet
military orders.

proposul to merge into the
nation's largest air transpor

tion of the School of Home
Economics from the former
department of home econ
omics. Dr. Virginia Trotter, Direc
tor of the School of Home Ec
onomics and associate dean
of the College of Agriculture
and Home Economics, said
the school was establshed
when the need for more au
tonomy within the College of
Agriculture became appar
ent. More specialization with
in the home economics area is
now possible.
The Director said a new de
partmentalization of the
school will enable more men
to seek degrees in home econ
omics, particularly in areas
such as food and nutrition, hu
man development and family
economics.
Advanced degrees for men
in institutional management
are offered also.
Present enrollment in t h e
School of Home Economics is
376, said Dr. Trotter, and she
anticipates double that num
ber of students in 5 to 10
years.
According to Dr. Franklin
Eklridge, Director of Resident
Instruction for the College of
Ag and Home Ec, tre nroll-
ment of the Home Ec depart
ment is nearly one-half as
large as the rest of Ag col
lege, so the name change re
flects the increased impor
tance of Home Ec on cam
pus. Dr. Eldridge said "The con
nection between home econ
omics and agriculture is not
readily apparent but does
actually form a complementa
ry part of the agricultural dis
cipline.
The College of Agriculture
as it now exists was estab
lished in 1909. The founders
of the University had provid
ed in 1867 for an agricultur
al college, and in 1872 the ag
branch was combined with the
"industrial college," which al
so p r o v i d e d instruction in
the practical science, civil
engineering, and mechanical
arts.
"With the establishment of
the School of Home Ec
onomics, and the selection of
the associate dean, who is Di
rector of the School", Dr. Eld
ridge said, "the name change
will result in greater empha
sis on j-iome hc than before,
but this will not cause any
weakening of the . traditional
relation between the Ag and
Home Ec sections on Ag cam
pus." NU Needs Swimmers

For Class Drops
Today is the last day to
drop class with the assurance
of good standing, according to
Lee Chatfield, associate dean
of student affairs.
"'There are two reasons for
this change in time,'" said
Chatfield. 'First, it was ob
vious that there was a flurry
of dropping after the mid
term examinations.'"
S e c o n d," continued the
dean, "we nope this will dis
courage 'shot-gun' registra

up lor more hours than he
plans on continuing. We sim
ply do not have enough class
room space to have all these
people drop the course they
like least and leave empty
spaces."
He pointed out that if these
extra courses are dropped af
ter two weeks, the room can
not be filled by other students
who sincerely want to take
the course.

After preliminary training
he will return to Lincoln to
spend the Christmas holidays
with his family.
In January, he will fly to
Sain Francisco. From there
he leaves for Saigon to join
a military advisory group
where he will begin what is
called an "'undesirable short
tour area.'"
Maj. Green explained that
army servicemen usually
serve two types of '"short tour
areas," one desirable, one
at the end of the first two
week period, according to
Chatfield. He attributed this
large number to course ad
justment. Students who had
schedule conflicts or had pre
viously failed a prerequisite
accounted for most of this.
The department hopes to
take care of this in the sum
mer next year by sending out
class schedules in July and
requesting students to make
their needed changes before
fall registration.

J-School Hosts
High School Tours
High school students from
several Nebraska high
schools win be on campus
this Saturday to attend
classes and take a tour of the
University.
The students win attend two
classes of their choice in the
morning to find out what uni
versity classes are like.
They win be treated to
lunch in the Union with enter
tainment provided by the Uni
versity. In the afternoon they
wfll go to the eoUege of their
choice and attend lectures
there.
This activity is being spon
sored by The Special Func
tions Project headed by Dr.
Han of the JournaUsm De
partment.
Villatoro explained one of the
differences between the Uni
versity .and El Colegio. "The
professors don't ten you to
read from 'here' to 'here'.;
they just teU you to prepare
for the course." Outside re
search plays a much greater
role in Mexican than in United
States education.
One thing that surprises
Miss ViUatoro at the Univer
sity is that "nobody discusses
politics here. In Mexico
every student talks about pol
itics." She also expressed surprise
and approval of University ac
tivities, saying ""Here you
have organizations for your
diversions." When asked if
she planned to participate in
any activity, however, Miss
Villatoro suid that her studies
would probably take up most
of her time.
Miss Villatoro attended the
National University for two
years before .entering El o-
of duty in South Viet Nam,
Green will be reassigned and
will not return to the University.
