. "Excellent" was the
statement made by Robert
Spearman, radio-television
instructor at the Uni
versity, concerning the cov
erage by radio and televi
sion of President Kennedy's
deatfc.
Other faculty members
upheld Spearman's state
ment yesterday at a semi
nar held in Nebraska Hall
on the news coverage of
Kennedy's death.
"An estimated $100 mil
lion was lost by the broad
casting Industry in those
four days that they had no
advertising," said Spear
man. "There was no govern
ment subsidy to cover the
loss," Spearman said in an
swer to a question from the
audience. He went on to say
that the networks could af
ford the loss.
"A person has a great
feeung of inadequacy on a
x story like this," said Gil
- Savery, who was at the
news desk at the Lincoln
Journal when the story of
Kennedy's assassina
tion broke. Savery ex
pressed hope that all the
journalism students that
were in attendance would
never have to cover another
assassination of a President
of the United States. He
hoped that newsmen and
women to-be would be able
to cover stories on a cure
for cancer, world peace and
understanding between all
men.
Neale Conple of the journ
alism department told of
the problems the large
weekly newspapers had
when the story came over
the wires Friday afternoon.
He said many tore apart
their layouts for that week's
paper and substituted the
story of Kennedy's death.
Copple also told of the
frenzy that the weekly
news magazines were
thrown into when they
learned of Kennedy's as
sassination. He said that
many of the magazines were
planned weeks in advance
and when they learned of
the story, they had to lay
out several new parts of
the magazines.
Dr. Hall, director of the
School of Journalism, pre
sented the irony of Ken
nedy's death. He held up
two Parade magazines, a
supplement to mariy Sun
day papers of the same
date. One of them for a
lead story had "Is Jackie
Kennedy Getting Tired of
the White House?" and the
NU Magazine
Recognized
The University of Nebras
ka's quarterly, The Prairie
Schooner, has won national
recognition by being one of
four "little magazines" which
published anything remem
bered by Robert Phelps, New
York Tribune literary critic.
Reporting in the Nov. 17 Sun
day issue of the Tribune on
his reactions to a study of
90 recent issues of so-called
little mags, Phelps said only
six pieces impressed him as
woryth of recall, and two of
them appeared in The Prairie
Schooner.

Services Honor JFK
Across the nation, few, if
any institutions were unaf
fected by the assassination of
the late President John F.
Kennedy.
Churches, those near and on
campus included, were among
those most affected.
The First Baptist Church,
14th and K, held a commem
orative service Sunday, Nov.
24. The sermon was "Profiles
of Courage."
At the United Campus Chris
tian Fellowship chapel, reg

tions about the United Na
tions, the American Associa
tion for the UN (AAUN) and
the Collegiate Council for the
United Nations (CCUN). His
visit to the University is spon
sored by the AAUN under
the auspices of the Speaker
Services for the UN.
CCUN is an educational or
ganization to increase student
knowledge about the UN. The'
organization, which has chap
ters at many colleges and uni
versities throughout the coun
try, encourages debate on UN
issues rather than taking a
stand itself.
This self-sustaining organ
ization is designed to stimu
late interest in international
affairs and to help students
understand realistically the
work of the UN. The dele
gates consider the policies of
each country from its own
point of view, and discussion
includes problems of econ
omics, political science, so
ciology, finance and philoso
phy. CCUN arrives at deci
sions after studying these as
pects of government.
The Student Council re
ceived recognition this week
for the work they have done
in organizing local UN a n d
model UN projects. Adlai E.
Stevenson, ambassador to the
United Nations, in a letter to
Susie Segrist, Student Council
chairman of the CCUN, said,
"I congratulate you on t K e
initiative of the Student Coun
cil in organizing a CCUN on
your campus."

The University Board of Regents on
Nov. 23 ordered increased tuition and fees
for all non-resident students and all stu
dents in dentistry and medicine. They
also approved plans for a new men's
dormitory.
The increase in fees, effective Sept.
1, 1964, will, on the basis of present en
rollment, affect about 2,300 of the 11,464
regularly-enrolled students and will pro
duce an additional $167,000 in annual
University revenue. The basic Nebraska
resident student- charge of $264 per year
will remain unchanged.
Specifically, the adjustments will:
Increase the basic non-resident stu
dent tuition-fee rate from $504 to $600 per
year.
In the College of Dentistry, raise
the resident tuition and fee rate from $390
to $490 a year, and increase the non-resident
rate from $630 to $900 a year.
In the College of Medicine, Omaha,
raise the Nebraska resident medical stu
dent charge from $525 to $600 a year, and
the non-resident charge from $765 to $990
per year.
Dr. Joseph Soshnik, University vice
chancellor for business and finance, said
the non-resident increases raise the Uni
versity's charges to about the median
point of those required by comparable in
stitutions in this region. The new Nebras
ka rates in dentistry and medicine, he
said, are in line with those charged in
these fields by other public universities.
The new dorm, scheduled for comple
tion in the fall of 1965, will accommodate
1,056 men students. It will be located
north of Vine street facing west on 17th.
The length of the 13-story structure
will approximate that of .a football field,
being 307 feet long and 61 feet wide.
Its accompanying food service faculty will
measure an additional 169 feet by 94 feet.
Construction is to be financed by
revenue bonds; no state tax funds are in
volved. Basic cost, exclusive of furnish
ings, landscaping and some other expenses '
is estimated in excess of $4.4 million.
The regents also accepted contracts
totaling $513,709.90 for expansion of the
University power plant, installation of chill
ing equipment and relocation of Avery
avenue at the power plant site from the
south to the north side of the plant.
In other action, the Board of Regents
endorsed plans to request federal approval
and funds for moving the transmitting fa
cilities of KUON-TV, Channel 12, to the
Alum Magazine Marks 50th Year
