Spaces Still Open
On Union Ski Trip
Room for 20 to 25 more stu
dents is available for the Stu
dent Union Ski Trip to be held
over semester break from
Feb. 3 to 7.
These additional space
need to be filled if the Union's
trips and tours committee is
to meet its Ski Trip budget,
according to Bill Hansmire,
Grants Offered
For Math Institute
An eight-week Institute in
mathematics for high school
teachers will be offered this
summer at the University.
The institute, to be financed
by the National Science Foun
dation, will be held during the
regular summer session from
June 14 to Aug. 5.
Participants may recieve as
much as eight college hours
of credit in both undergradu
ate and graduate work.
Fort', $500 stipends will be
offered to succesful high
school teacher applicants. In
addition, the stipends will pay
$120 per dependent (up to
four) and travel and tuition
costs.
Dr. Hubert Schneider, as
sociate professor of mathe
matics and institute director,
said the courses are designed
for persons who have had at
least five years of teaching
experience, and expect to
teach at least one math
course in the future.
Schneider said the courses
would be arranged for both
those teachers whose under
graduate preparation in math
was weak, and for those who
have already attended one of
the summer institutes and
wish to take advanced work.
Interested applicants may
write Schneider at the depart
ment of rnathmalics before
Feb. 15.

assistant chairman of the
committee.
Cost of the trip will be $75.
This includes transportation,
I room and board, rental of
j skis and ski lessons. The
group will travel to Winter
Park, Colo.
Students may sign up for
the trip in the Union pro
gram office. A down payment
of $35 is required at sign-up
time.
Hansmire urges all students
who have already signed up
for the trip that they should
get their consent and waivers,
their roommate preferences
and their final payments in as
soon as possible.
A special orientation session
for all those going on the trip
will be held on Thursday,
Jan. 14 at 7 p.m. in the Pan
American room of the Union.
Skiing and instruction movies
will be shown and final di
rections given at this meeting.
"The Ski Trip is a great
way to forget about final ex
ams," Hansmire said. "I en
courage any interested stu
dents to sign up as soon as
possible."
NU Student To Serve
As National President
Charles Stewart, a Univer
sity student, has been elected
national president of Mu Ep
silon Nu, honorary and pro
fessional teaching fraternity.
Stewart is enrolled In the
advanced professional division
of Teachers College.
The Alpha chapter of Mu
Epsilon Nu was founded at the
University in 1958 and the Be
ta chapter organized at Kear
ney State last year.
Chapters are being organ
ized at Wayne State Teachers
College, Iowa State University
Oklahoma State University,
the University of California
and the University of Kansas.
A proposal that extracur
ricular activities, sports and
hour exams be eliminated
during the last week preced
ing final examinations was
"fairly well accepted" by the
Faculty Senate, according to
Student Council treasurer Skip
Soiref.
Soiref told the Council meet
ing yesterday that the Dead
Week proposal did not come
to a vote in the faculty group,
but that a spokesman for
the Senate Calender and Fi
nal Exams committee had as-
surred him that students could
probably expect good coopera
tion from the faculty in re
scheduling hour exams away
from the final week.
To rule when hour exams
could be held would be an in
fringement on academic free
dom, but instructors may fol
low the recommendation as
they wish. The Student Coun
cil welfare committee report
was printed in two faculty
bulletins, Soiref said.
"It is now up to the Student
Council to visit organizations,
activities and intramurais
asking their cooperation in
making Dead Week a suc
cess, he announced.
Also concerning final exams
was a report by Sue Wiles
concerning the scheduling pe
riod for finals. Miss Wiles said
she attended a meeting of the
Faculty calendar and final
exams committee at which
possible changes in the pres
ent two-week examination pe
riod were discussed.
The necessity to schedule
all finals in the set period has
broueht the problem of finding
time and space for all class
sections, she said. The Lm-
ersitv is currently operating
at near-maximum capacity in
this area.
A m o n e the solutions dis
cussed at the meeting were a
faculty poll by departments
to find the number of profes
sors who de-emphasize tneir
final exams, offering a last
hour exam during the three
hour period. If the number
proved substantial, these pro
fessors could be asked to give
up their three-hour period.
Miss Wiles suggested that if
a large enough number of pro
fessors would give a last
hour exam during the regular
semester, the final exam pe
riod might conceivably be re
duced to one week.
Council resident John Ly-
dick told the Council that all
final committee reports are
due at the last meeting of the
semester next week. There
will be no meeting the follow
ing week, Dead Week.
Two of the more significent
reports to be presented are
the first semester results of
the public issues committee's
discrimination study and the
student welfare committee
report on prices at local book
stores.

attended the Big Eight Stu

Funds For Dent School
In University's Budget
Include Salaries, Clinic
By Priscilla Mullens
Senior Staff Writer
The budget for the College
of Dentistry, which is included
m ine universiiy ouaget now
before the State
igiMdiure,
is concerned mainly with op
erating expenses for the Col
lege. Included in these expenses
fainAH hv thA foiwp isrioc
of staff personnel, and dental
supplies.
The major portion of fi
nance for research not direct
ly connected to instruction
comes from three sources, ac
cording to Dr. Douglas de
S h a z e r, research director.
These include the National In-
stitute of Dental Research,
from which the largest por
tion comes; a private individ
ual; and private companies.
For the College of Business :
Administration, the budget re-
auest before the Legislature
breaks rinwn into fun mainr
major
areas.
The first area is related to
increase in enrollment now
being experienced by the Col
lege and the anticipated in
crease for the next few years.
"We have experienced a 16
per cent increase in under
graduate enrollment, and
there doesn't appear to be any
sign f a lesser increase in
the forthcoming year," Dean
Charles Miller said.
Earmarked for instruction
purposes, the budget calls for
$1,043,094 for the 1965-67 bi
ennium. This is an increase of
$251,301 over the 1963-65 bi
ennium. New Girls Dorm

A nine-story girls dormi
tory, housing 450, will be built
south of Abel Hall, facing
North 17th, and east of the
existing George Cook Con

A similar schedule is antici
pated for the smaller girls

Both are being financed by
revenue bonds paid off by
dormitory funds.

would mean a more effi

uaie levels, ;viuiei scuu.
Miller said that an increase
in the salaries of present staff
would be included because of
I the highly competitive market
! for personnel.
"There just doesn't seem to
be enough instruction assist
ants to go around," he said.
"This makes for higher
prices for new and present
staff people."
The second area in the Bus
iness budget is to go to the
' Bureau of Business Research.
This amount is $111,515.
and
the
increase of $32,721 over
1S33-65 biennium.
Aetivities in this area are
to be exnanded somewhat for
i the purnase of fiirtherinff the
' economic develnDment of the
i State of Nebraska,
to Miller.
i "If we can expand the Bu -
; reau we can accommodate re -
; quests for studies and do some
of the things we want to ac -
' complish," he said.
Under the Bureau, Miller
listed three major programs
to be begun or expanded.
These included:
j
Development of an econom
ic inventory of the State; a
! market area study in t h
i Mate; and updating am, x
pansion of statistical informa
tion made available to t h e
business community of Ne
braska. While all the programs un
der the Bureau are not new,
they are classified as normal
workings under the Bureau,
Miller said. New studies are
continually being made.
A unique problem of t h e
Business College, Miller point
ed out, is the fact that com
petition for staff personnel is
so keen.
"We are not onlv recruiting
in competition wit other col

busines-
ses and industries
he said.
A major problem of the Col
lege is that students and fac
ulty are being squeezed for
space, according to Miller.
"We can only convert a lim
ited number of classrooms in
to office spaces and we feel
that this saturation point has j
been reached," he said.

cluding that the BESGA
should not attempt to under
take activities which could
be handled more efficiently by
the two national groups.
A three-member committee
was organized by Lydick to
study the pep and spirit situa
tion at this University with
special emphasis on a mascot
and school yell. Lydick said
he was quite impressed with
the enthusiasm generated by
spirit tactics used by Univer
sity of Arkansas students at
the Cotton Bowl.
Appointed to the committee
were Pam Hedgecock, Mike
Barton and Bill Hayes.
Lydick briefly presented a

in charge of disseminating in

All pre-registration for sec

Students should receive

Socioligy 109, political sci

"There were no real prob

Freshman
Exam At
Pershing
They'll march to Pershing
over 3,800 of them will de
scend on the auditorium on
Saturday, Jan. 23 3,800
freshmen English students.
It all started because the
freshmen English exam was
scheduled for the last day of
finals, Feb. 3. Because Eng
lish 1 and 2 classes are the
largest at the University, and
the final exams are machine
graded it was decided, even
in this age of machines, that
it would be too great a bur
den to get all the exams cor
rected, then recorded by the
deadline.
Another problem was the
difficulty of completing regis
tration for second semester
without the results of the
first semester freshmen Eng
lish exams.
The Faculty Committee
that handles the dates for
final examinations found Sat
urday, Jan. 23, the Saturday
preceding the regularly
scheduled final exams, to be
the only available earlier date
which would ease the burden
of correcting over 3,800 exams
in the last few hectic days
of the semester.
With the setting of the date
another problem arose. On
the 23rd the Huskers will
play Oklahoma State in the
coliseum the usual fresh-
I men English
final exam cen-
exams, put up the bleachers
and be ready in time for the
basketball game.
The problem was to find a
place to take 3,800 freshman
English students for their fi
nal exam. Ned Hedges, as
sistant to the director of
freshman English, said, "The
people at Pershing were gra
cious enough to allow us to
have the exam there."
Dr. Carl Schneider, chair
man of the political science
department said, "There may
be one section less of one
course because the professor
is doing research, but added
another section in another
course so it should come out
about the same."
He said it is true there are
not. pnnirfh snafps in the ser.
;tions because enrollment has
gone up and the number of
staff members has not.
"We are trying to keep the
enrollment down in the politi
cal science classes so that
writing and outside reading
assignments can be kept in
the scope of the courses. We
could accept everyone but
then we would have to change
the character of the course
and we don't think that is
sound educational policy," he
said.
Bills for the tuition payment
will be mailed to students
Jan. 15, Mrs. Laase said. The
bills must be paid by mail
by Jan. 22.
