Senatorjells Rqjary Club
'Cartfgafnst Chancellor
e y i i Attorn, i si l
By Marv McNeff
Junior Staff Writer
Addressing t h e northeast
iJncoln Rotary Club weekly
meeting, State Senator Terry
Carpenter discussed questions
of University finance and
changing the Unicameral Leg
islature to a partisan body.
Regarding relations between
the Unicameral and the Uni
versity, Carpenter said he be
lieves the 7 man Unicameral
budget committee opposed ev-
ryimng and anything which
woum benefit the University.
He said all the 'cards' were
stacked against Chancellor
Hardin and the other faculty
members who went to pre
sent the case for the Univer
sity on the floor of the Legis
lature. According to Carpenter "All
the senators know that by
1970 the University will be re
ceiving 50 more applications
for enrollment than this year,
but in the minds of most of
the senators a balanced bud
get has more importance than
construction of suitable edu
cation facilities to handle the
students presently attending."
During an interview after
his address, Senator Carpen
ter called for a mass meet
ing of students and State
Senators, suggesting that 43
men cannot realize the physi
cal size of a student popula
tion of over 11,400.
This mass meeting could
serve to remind the legisla
tors that by 1970 possibly
twice the present number of
students will apply for admis
sion to the University.
The University has not been
effective in presenting its case
before the Legislature, accord
ing to Carpenter who said a
"sliderule" approach was not
warrented or appreciated. He
said to do as the agencies do
which are successful in
achieving their appropria
tions. Regarding the basic ques
tion of providing financial
support for the University,
Carpenter suggested an
arounsed alumni would be the
most effective way the Uni
versity's case could be made
known.
He said" that 20,000 to 25,000
alumni could make their
weight felt by expressing
their desires of strengthening
the University to their local
senator. To accomplish things
w hich the past legisture has
been unwilling to do, Carpen
ter suggested alumni should
seek seats in the Unicameral,
and support the University in
that manner.
People with vision realize
that at least 5 million dollars
should be spent each year to
provide an adequate physical
piant to meet present de
mands, Carpenter noted.
"The Legislators put Chan
cellor Hardin in the lion's den
and left him there," Carpen
ter continued, "and if the
needs of this state regarding
higher education are to be
met, pressure is going to have
to be applied effectively."
Expressing the viewpoint
that all funds necessary for
the continued growth of the
University could be raised by
increasing the pari - mutuel
betting tax from 3 to 6;
Carpenter said increasing the
liquor and beer tax, and tax
ing the profits of domestic in
surance companies at a rate
of 1 flat across the board
would provide sufficient funds.
The importance of educat
ing the state's young people
becomes lost when the time
comes to support the Univer
sity: during budget sessions
of the legislature, he said.
Senator Carpenter said he
feels his most important con
tribution has been in encour
aging people to think about
areas affecting their welfare
which haven't yet been ex
plored.
Carpenter termed the pres
ent budgetary procedures of
the unicameral ridiculous.
He said everyone concerned
will admit privately that de
velopment of a realistic budg
et is hampered by lack of a
research staff and the hur
ried manner in which the
budget is now compiled. An
improved procedure, he said
would involve having a year
round staff which would meet
with agencies charged with
spending the state's reven
ues, including the University,
and work out a continuous
and realistic program.
The Senator said, "There's
no reason the budget could
not be ready and waiting for
the Unicameral on January
1, when the session begins
every other year.
Carpenter charged the pres
ent legislature with not deal
ing with the facts of problems
which confront them, and said
in its present form it prob
ably never would.
Citing two issues of the 1964
political campaign which will
have a critical bearing on the
University, Carpenter said
the questions of changing the
Legislature to a partisan body
to insure that its members are
responsible to the people, and
the adoption of a new source
of revenue, such as a state
income tax, are the most im
portant things confronting the
legislature now.

Student Council yesterday
passed a motion calling for
the establishment of a com
mittee to investigate compul
sory ROTC and to make an
appropriate recommendation
to the Board of Regents.
Bob Kerrey, in making the
motion, pointed out that less
than ten per cent of the stu
dents that take compulsory
ROTC continue on to ad
vanced ROTC
"The Morrill Act requires
that land grant colleges offer
ROTC courses but not that
they be compulsory," said
Kerrey. "This decision is left
to the Board of Regents."
He added that the Student
Council owes ,it to the stu
dent body to Investigate the
situation and find out if the
student body is in favor of
compulsory ROTC. A student
opinion poll will be taken in
a few weeks.
Another poll will be taken in
the living units and Student
Union to investigate the
changing class schedules, ac
cording to Mike Barton, pub
lic opinion chairman.
Barton reported that re
sponse to the football ticket
situation poll was good. Over
200 forms were returned and
many suggestions were
made. The report will be
turned over to the Student
Welfare committee and to
James H. Pittenger, athletic
ticket director.
Mrs. Dorothy Larery, asso
ciate professor of home econ
omics, was introduced as the
new advisor to Student Coun
cil. She will maintain this po
sition for the next two years.
Sue Vandecar, repre
sentative from the Union
Board of Managers, an
nounced that she would be
forced to resign her position
due to lack of time. A new
representative will be chosen
at the next meeting of the
Board of Managers.
Kerrey announced that the
Student Welfare committee
has been studying the possibil
ity of a book pool. He said the
committee has felt that the
group should support the al
ready established Alpha Phi
Omega, a service organization
which offers a book pool. A
letter of explanation of the or
ganization and a questionnaire
will be sent out to living units
later.

oces Sqfious Trou
Act
ble
Washington (CPS The
most popular and probably
most important government
program for U.S. college and
university students is in sera
ous trouble in Congress.
The National Defense Edu
cation Act (NDEA) bill, pro
viding loans for college stu
dents, was sent to the House
Rules Committee last week
where it could lie dormant
through the end of the cur
rent congressional session.
The action centered around
a growing feud between the
House and Senate Higher Ed
ucation Subcommittees.
The Senate earlier approved
an extension of the NDEA
act, including an additional
$35 million a year more than
the current $90 million annual
amount for student loans. The
action would give the NDEA
three more years of life in
stead of letting it expire next
summer.
A House version of the
NDEA bill would authorize a
higher loan total $135 million
the first year. Where the Sen
ate limits $800,000 of the pro
gram to any one university,
the House bill eliminate any
ceiling at all. The current lim
it is $250,000 to any single
school.
' But rather than accept the
approved Senate version or
attempt an initial compro
mise, the House voted to send
its NDEA to the Rules Com
mittee for further study.
In a statement, the Republi
can members of the House
Education C o m m i 1 1 e e at
tacked their Democratic col
leagues and the Kennedy ad
ministration for stalling action
on the bill.
... The GOP members said fail
ure of Democratic leaders
"has created genuine hard
ship for thousands of college
students who have depended
upon student loans to finance
their education. The entire
structure of student financial
assistance faces a deepening
crisis as the academic year
progresses."
Facts included in the GOP
political attack pointed out
that for the first time since
the act began, the NDEA act
is out of money.
"Only 15 s t a t e s have re
ceived all of their loan re
quests for this year; in the
remainder, the percentage
ranges as low as 43.5 per
cent. Eleven states suffered
cuts of from one-third to over
one-half of their requests.
"This means that the loans
of thousands of students have
had to be sharply reduced or
denied," the statement said.
Because of the fund short
age, the Republicans . pre
dicted there would be no
loan funds available during
the next college semester "in
many institutions."
Hard hit by NDEA shortage,
administered by the U.S. Of
fice of Education, were col
leges in the Washington area.
A spot check by CPS showed
that nine colleges and univer
sities m the District of Colum
bia received on half of $1.4
million requested for NDEA
loans. For example Howard
University asked for $247,00
but received only $137,00 to
loan to students.
Two big reasons for the
shortages in NDEA funds are:
Government officials esti
mated 4.4 million are going
to college this semester, com
pared to 4.2 million last year.
Since the dropping of the
controversial non-communist
affadavit attached to the
loans, 17 more U.S. colleges
joined the NDEA program
this year alone. The 17 were
among the 32 dipping the
program a few years ago in
protest of the affadavit.
Since the NDEA was signed
into law five years ago during
the Eisenhower administra
tionon Sept. 2, 1958 $800
million has been paid out to
700,000 students and faculty
in 8,000 schools involved in
the program.
i
It authorized federal assist
ance for student loans and
graduate fellowship and for
support of other high educa
tion activities.
Borrowers are permitted to
put off repayment until after
graduation, and, if they take
up public school teaching, re
ceived a partial write-off. The
House version of the NDEA
bill would also extend this for
giveness feature to private
school teacher s another
spark to ignite the church
state debate.

Rally Committee Bam
Colorado's Song If AH
Band May March In Parade,
But Cannot Play CU Numbers
The University Rally Com
m i 1 1 e e decided Wednesday
not to allow the Colorado Uni
versity marching band to play
its school song if it marches
in Saturday's Homecoming
parade, according to Prof.
Jack Snider, director of t h e
University marching band.
Snider, who had earlier in
vited the Colorado band to be
in the parade, said, after a
committee spokesman in
formed him of the decision.
that it is doubtful now that
the band will participate. Said
Snider, "It seems pointless to
invite a band to be in your
parade and then tell them
that they can't play songs
representative of their
school." He added that if the
Colorado band, when it ar
rives still expresses a desire
to be in the parade, he would
ask them not to.
The parade itself, featuring
the Homecoming Queen and
her court, begins at 9:30 a.m..
at the c o r n e r of 9th and 0
Street. Led by the University
marching band, it will contin
ue down O St. to 14th, where
it will turn north to the cam
pus, e n d i n g at the Student
Union.
In addition to the Homecom
ing royalty, the cheerleaders,
pom pom girls and the liberty
bell will also be in the pa
rade. Homecoming floats, charac
teristic of past parades, will
not be seen. The floats were
traditionally a part of the pa
rades, the last of which was
h e 1 d in 1959. However, due
to the cost and the amount of
time required to build both
floats and Homecoming dis
plays, they were not Included
in the Homecoming program.
This year's Homecoming
Queen, chosen from, ten fi
nalists by vote of the stu
dent body on the basis of
poise, personality, activities
and scholarship, will be an
nounced at Friday's pep rally.
The candidates1
Carol Bieck, Gamma Phi
Beta; Polly Brown, Delta
Gamma; Janee Benda, Alpha
Omicron Pi; Becky Yerk,
Alpha Phi; Bonnie Gay Knud
sen, Pi Beta Phi; Joanie Skin
ner, Alpha Chi Omega; San
dy McDowell, Alpha Xi Del
ta; Carol Lea Klein, IWA; Sal
ly Wilson, Kappa Kappa Gam
ma; Mary Morrow, Kappa Al
pha Theta.
A total of 3,204 voted, of
this number 306 were on Ag
campus, and there were 22
invalid ballots.
Poll Will Select
Top Entertainers
A poll to select favorite en
tertainers will be conducted
in all organized houses and
dorms by tht Special Events
Committee of the Student
Union.
There will be ten sugges
tions on th poll list and stu
dents are asked to pick their
favorites. Students may also
write in any suggestions.
.Joe Carroll, chairman of
the Special Events Committee
said that as a result of last
year's poll both the Smothers
Brothers and Peter, Paul and
Mary were asked to entertain
here.
'Skeptic's Cornet' To Join
Voice Of Freedom Show
Exploratory Meet To Examine
Wildlife Management, Exchange
An exploratory meeting is
being planned by the Univer
sity Wildlife Club for October
30 at the Nebraska Center for
Continuing Education.
According to Bob Vlach,
president, the meeting is be
ing called to explore ways
and means whereby Univer
sity students can prepare
themselves for professional
work in the field of wildlife
management. Vlach said,
"We have been getting quite
a few rumors and we think it
is time to put them all to
gether. Studying the problem
in this way should enable us
to take more intelligent action
concerning our futures.
The Universities of Mis
souri and Nebraska entered
into an exchange program
about three years ago, accord
ing to Dr. F. E. Eldridge,
Director of Resident Instruc
tion for the College of Ag &
Home Ec. The exchange en
ables Missouri's students
wishing to study dentistry,
pharmacy, and architectural
engineering to enroll at Ne
braska without paying out-of-state
tuition.
In return, " Nebraska stu
dents may enjoy the same
treatment in Missouri in the
field of mining' engineering,
forestry, and wildlife. For
reasons not apparent at this
time, no Nebraska students
with wildlife interests have
participated in the exchange
program. This area will also
be explored. '
According to Vlach, re
source personnel from the
University both administra
tion and faculty have been
invited to attend. Vlach also
hopes to have representation
from the Nebraska Game,
Fish and Parks Commission
for the same purpose.
Vlach stressed that the
study session is exploratory
only, . end that any student
who might be Interested in
this field, if a curriculum
were available, is invited to
attend. He said the success of
the meeting will be in propor
tion to student interest and
participation.
There is no. charge and the
session will begin at 7:30 p.m.
in the Scottsbluff Room in the
Nebraska Center. The discus
sion will be guided by Dr. A.
B. Ward, Head of Confer
ences and Institutes of the
Adult Education Section at
the Center.
Skeptics Corner, a new
live radio show originating
from the Union music room,
will join The Voice of Free
dom, a live radio show al
ready in its second week, to
make a format of controver
sial audience participation
programs.
Skeptic's Corner, which be
gins Oct. 30 at 9 p.m., is
headed by Alan Pickering who
also has a show on KUON-TV
Thursday nights at 9.
Skeptic's Corner compares
the many different religions
which are on campus. Skep
tics are also expected to take
part in the discussion, hence
the name Skeptic's Corner.
The other live program, The
Voice of Freedom, is conduct
ed on Wednesday nights at 9
in the Union music room. The
program, which is sponsored
by NIA, consists of a panel
of foreign and American
students who discuss world
events and problems.
The panel which now con
