Editor's note: This is the
first in a series of articles
explaining the University's
budget request, broken
down to the level of the in
dividual college.
By Priscilla Mullins
Senior Staff Writer
The major portion of a $2,
331,974 increase in the re
quested budget for the Arts
and Sciences College has been
occassioned by the increased
enrollment facing the Univer
sity during the new biennium,
according to Walter Militzer,
dean of the College.
Aitnougn t n e amount is
listed as an "increase," it in
eludes such stationary items
as price rises in normally-purchased
supplies, and
self-supporting programs, ac
cording to Vice Chancellor
Joseph Soshnik.
In the area of instruction
and department research,
which includes staff salaries,
the budget request now before
the state legislature calls for
$8,930,940, an increase of $2,
319,616 over the 1963-65 bien
nium. For the next two years re
spectively, the Arts and Sci
ences college needs 50 and 34
new staff members to keep
pace with corresponding en
rollment increases of 14,500
and 15,500, Militzer said.
Although the College has
gained over some competing
universities in salaries, he
said, there is still a need to
keep up with the Big Ten
schools.
The $9,139,826 request made
by the College is explained in
part by the fact that 60 per
cent of all the teaching at the
University is taken care of
by the College of Arts and
Sciences, Militzer said.
"Whenever the University
opens its doors each fall, it
University Seeks To Start
Conservation Study Institute
The University has made
application to become one of
14 centers in the nation for
establishing institutes for wa
ter resource study and con
servation. The application was made
pursuant to an act passed by
Congress this year, which will
provide federal funds to those
institutions whose proposals
for an institute are accepted.
Chancellor Clifford Hardin
bas appointed Eugene Reed
as acting chairman of t h e
Water Resources Institute Ad
visory Board applying for the
federal grant. Reed is direc
tor of the Conservation and
Survey Division of the Uni
versity. Reed said the growing in
terest in water research by
Universtiy scientists is "re
markable." Fifty-nine professors and
staff members from five col
leges and divisions of the Uni
versity already have shown
an interest in participating in
the program, should the Uni
versity be selected.
"The kind of interest that
has been shown, speaks very
well for the scientists and
other authorities at the Uni
versity as well as other co
operating state and private
agencies, " he said.
Reed explained that while
definite goals and policies
New Two -
The Air Force Reserve Of
ficer Training Corps has an
nounced a new two-year pro
gram which allows interested
and qualified students to sub
stitute a new six-week Field
Training Course for the first
two years of the ROTC pro
gram. The program was an
nounced as the Air Force
begins implementation of its
new programs under the pro
visions of the ROTC Vitaliza
tion Act of 1964.
Competition for career as
signments as Air Force offi
cers has traditionally been a
four-year requirement through
AFROTC on college and uni
versity campuses. The new

is the equivalent of adding Ne
braska Wesleyan or Kearney
to this University," he said.
The second major break
down of the budget request
lies in the area of activities
related to instruction. The
College asked for $203,746 in
this area, an increase of $12,
758 over 1963-65.
This area includes operating
expenses for the various de
partments, Militzer said.
Costs for a department such
as physics average in excess
of $25,000 each year, he said.
The chemistry department
spends from $30,000 to $40,000
a year for supplies. Paper
and pencil" departments such
as history and English run
about $1,070 and $3,200 a year
respectively, Militzer said.
There are 23 such depart
ments in the College of Arts
and Sciences, Militzer said,
all requiring more money be
cause of increasing costs and
expansion programs.
Try outs Scheduled

House tryouts for Coed Fol

the Student Union ballroom,
are open only to members of
groups in competition, accord

have not yet been set, gradu
ate students at the University
will be taking a very active
part in the research.
A tentative, and broad ap
proach of the Institute will be
to study water in its cyclic
nature, in all its forms, . he
said. "We want to know, for
example, more about the ef
fect of land use and crops on
ground water, and something
about the soil's retention of
ground water."
"Ultimately we plan to work
at the University's field lab
oratory at Mead," he said.
Reed explained that the per
sons most interested in the
problem at the University
have been the agricultural
scientists, the engineers, ge
ologists and law professors.
Students and professors at the
College of Law are acutely
aware that one of the most
important fields of legal work
in the future will revolve
around water rights, he ex
plained. "We have already received
many research proposals
from experts right at the Uni
versity, many of which we
cannot possibly undertake im
mediately," he said. "It
shows that the awareness of
the need to understand and
conserve our water resources
is very much on the minds
of the University staff."
Year AFROTC Program
two-year program, which is
parallel to the present four
year program, permits stu
dents to begin their officer
training In their junior year
if they did not enroll in the
AFROTC basic course during
their freshman and sopho
more years.
The new six-week training
course is designed to com
press the basic course re
quirements of the four-year
program, so that students en
tering the program at the jun
ior level, will do so on a par
with those who have com
pleted the basic course.
The six-week program is to
be conducted at an Air Force
Expansion programs for
Arts and Sciences are related
to what the College needs to
do to take care of the boost
in enrollment.
The Counsellor Program,
which now includes only math
assistance to students, is one
area that, should be expanded,
he said.
Also included would be an
expansion of the Asian history
program.
In the physics department,
the area of the "solid state"
would be expanded. This is
that field of physics most re
sponsible for the modern de
velopment in electronics and
communications, according to
a budget brief for the C o 1 -lege.
Expansion in the Music De
partment would be concerned
with hiring persons to handle
specialties now being as
signed to persons not partic
ularly trained for them.
New equipment is needed
for four departments in par
ticular: chemistry, physics,
zoology and physiology.
"What we have asked of
the legislature is a minimum
request," Militzer said, "both I
to raise salaries, and the ad
ditional staff to meet in
creased enrollment."
Militzer said the competi
tion for experienced staff in
most of the departments "is
getting exceedingly keen,"
and the College is "constant
ly dealing with another insti
tution trying to snare our sen
ior people."
Convention Waits
On Structure Vote
Eleven delegates to the Con
stitutional Convention Sunday
decided to postpone consider
ation on the structural com-1
mittee's report until the next
meeting because the commit
tee presenting the report had
a majority at the meeting.
Included in the report are
eligibility requirements for fu
ture student government
members and officers, duties
of officers and rules on proce
dure. The convention spent an
hour discussing the report be

consideration was introduced
by John Klein.
Klein maintained it was un
fair for the committee pre

to approve it. Normal conven

Theologian
Discusses
Cold War
The church can help to
bring about a world commun
ity, can encourage viewing
the world as it is, apart from
distortions which every na
tional experience creates, Dr.
John Bennett said.
Bennett, president of t h e
Union Theological Seminary
in New York City, spoke last
night at Love Memorial Li
brary. He outlined, in h i s
speech on Christian ethics and
foreign policy in the cold war,
some aspects of action to be
taken by Christians to en
courage a world community.
An awareness and openness
to changes that are occurring
in the communistic countries,
is one action that should be
taken, according to Bennett.
"We must learn to deal with
each country in a different
way." There are variations
from country to country as a
result of various philosophies
that can be found in these
countries," he said.
There is a need to stress
an openness of feeling among
fellow human beings, he said.
Bennett said, if some of the
fixed ideas can be overcome,
the United States can enter
a new stage. There will be
a new beginning of mutual
understanding, the beginning
of a bridge, he said.
We can expect to have to
live with perplexing prob
lems such as Viet Nam," he
said, but the church can en
courage creating a world
community.
Bennett noted two men,
former President John Ken
nedy and Pope John XXIII,
signaled this feeling for a
world community. Kennedy
in a speech in June, 1963
which led to the partial test
ban treaty requested the
American people to re-exam
their attitude toward peace,
the cold war and the Soviet
Union, Bennett said.
Pope John's refusal to use
the Council in Rome as a
sounding board for anti-com
munism heralded the feeling
for a world community too,
he said.
Asked in a question period
what a Christian might do to
strengthen the idea for a
world community, Bennett
said, "You can live in the
world as it is learn to live
with the problems and try
to make possible a world less
sure of nuclear war."
Bennett has traveled and
lectured on the subject of
Christian ethics. He is the
author of ten books and is a
regular contributor of the
journal, "Christianity and
Crisis."

The Student Committee for
Coeducational Housing last
night recommended that fu
ture complexes and present
residence halls at the Univer
sity be planned or modified
to house a coeducational
group.
This committee was formed
in November to study the pos
sible advantages and disad
vantages which come from
coeducational living. It is
composed of representatives
from Pound and Cather Halls
and from Selleck Quadrangle,
all of which are now coed
units.
The committee's report con
tained the results of a survey
taken among 125 schools
across the country, and com
pared these results with those
they have found in their resi
dence halls at Nebraska.
Of the schools in the sur
vey, which had an average
enrollment of 8,000 students,
65 per cent have coeducation
al housing at the present time.
The survey had these
schools list those apprehen
sions which they had encount
ered before adopting the pro
grams. All but ten of these
schools replied that they had
apprehensions and these in
cluded such things as securi
ty, behavior, women's hours,
food service, grades and stu
dent government.
In answer to the follow-up
question asking if these fears
had changed in anyway, ev
ery school answered that eith
er the suspected problems did
not appear, or they were so
insignificant that they were
easily taken care of. U.C.L.A.
replied that "the gains are
many and the risks are prac
tically non-existent."
Several schools stated that
they had encountered some
problems and disadvantages
in using the program and said
that these were chiefly in the
areas of menus, administra
tion and student government.
Of this group of schools
however, all but one felt that
the problems were not suffi
cient to warrant a change in
their coed housing.
The results of the coed hous
ing complex experiment at

report under the areas of per

The report said that the

In addition, the committee

would give increased protec

The conclusion of the report,

"Coed housing can increase
the resident's awareness of
himself, expressed in im

ners, and an awareness of the
needs, social and emotional
habits of those of the opposite
sex, thus initiating a realiza
tion of his responsibilities to
others.
It has been said that a ma

recognizes a responsibility to
himself and a responsibility
to those around him. Thus
coeducational housing at the
University is in a position to
make an important contribu
tion toward the education of
its future citizens."
