Senator Bowen, who spoke briefly to the group, said, "What we need to help re build the Republican Tarty is young people.

The increased enrollment makes necessary more staff members, possibly 10 or 12 full-time people, including the present staff of live. In addition to salary in creases, the cost of supplies is going up, Gibson said, "While at present we are op erating on approximately tne same amount we aid tour vears ago, we will not be able to continue to do so." Gibson explained that non salarv expenses have been kent to a minimum, despite increasing enrollment, by cut ting the volume ot cnemi cals used in lab work. If a student formerly mixed six ounces of a preparation, he now only mixes two ounces. "We have reached the point- of-no-return on these micro preparations." he said. "We can't go any further. The aualitv of instruction will have to be reduced unless we get some more money." The present budget was prepared on the basis of pei capita cost per year in the laboratory, according to Gib son. "For instance, it costs $15.09 per student for the Pharma cology lab." After going through each lab figuring the totals, Gib son took the total cost and multiplied it by the number of students. "There is one fallacy to this .approach," he said. "That is, the price of supplies may go up in the next biennium, but the present prices will be list ed in the budget." Referring to current staff salaries, Gibson said the Col lege's salaries are slighly be low the average of other col leges of pharmacy around the country. "Should we get the request ed increase, it will put us with the average of the other colleges." A major problem for the College is the fact that it must compete with industry for staff persons, Gibson said. St Dr. Robert Knoll and John Lydick, winners of the faculty and student Outstanding Ne braskan Awards. For story, see page 4 and 5. "Since 1962 we have had one position on a temporary basis because we have not had the money to attract the type of person we want to fill the position." The problem of space is coming into the budget pic ture according to Gibson. There is one of four class rooms in the building which is available for pharmacy lecture sections. The other three rooms are used for history, English, mathematics and philosophy, Gibson said. The laboratories are de signed for a maximum of 48 students, and with increasing enrollment, these will soon be full. Speculating on future pros pects. Gibson listed three possibilities for solving the College s problems. First, and most obvious, he said, would be getting more money from the legislature A second alternative would be expanding the staff. With the present facilities, the Col lege would have to go on i year-round basis, offering full curriculum summer s e s sions, he said. This would be necessary to accommodate all the students and have some where to put the staff, due to lack of office space. Gibson's third thought was that the College would have to cut down on enrollment This couldn't be done, though, he said, because the comma nities around the state need and want the services of all the pharmacists the College can turn out.

In a vote of the senior edi tors of the Daily Nebraskan, the top ten stories of the se mester were chosen to be: (1) the Constitutional Con vention; (2) the football sea son and the Cotton Bowl game; (3) ths increase in the University budget; (4) the fi nancial situation of the Daily Nebraskan; (5) Civil Rights on the University campus; (6) Election year activity; (7) the upset of number one ranked Michigan by the Hus- ker basketball team; (8) the declaration of a Dead Week preceding the start of final exams; (9) a study by a Uni versity Committee on Coedu cational Housing, and their resolution encouraging the construction of coed dormi tories; and (10) the sale of nearly 16 million dollars worth of bonds by the Board of Re gents. Constitution Following the recommenda tion of the Faculty Senate, a Constitutional Convention was called this fall to study and improve student govern ment at the University. Delegates to the Convention were chosen by the Deans of the different colleges, and the first meeting of the 21- delegate Convention was held on Nov. 1. John Lydick was chosen by the delegates to preside over the Convention. Chief controversy in the Convention centered over the system of representation to be used by the new government. Following lengthy debate over having representation by liv ing districts or by colleges, the delegates chose the col lege system. Also decided by the group was to have the new govern ment be known as The As sociated Students of the Uni versity of Nebraska, with the government to have three branches and the Association president and vice-president to be chosen by a vote of the student body. Actual writing of the new, n v Jtt - , x I ,CosWp!f, As Top Story The Daily Nebraskan -Cotton Bowl7 Second- constitution is still going on. and plans call for it to be finished by April. Cotton Bowl The ability of a young and inexperienced team to bring Nebraska a repeat Big Eight football championship and a trip to the Cotton Bowl ranks as this semester's number two story. Heavily-manned by s o p h omores and suffering the loss of quarterback Fred Duda in the third game of the season, the Big Red improved week by week to go undefeated through their first nine games and receive an invitation from the Cotton Bowl to participate in battle there on New Year s Day. Although suffering defeat in the regular season finale at Oklahoma, the Buskers came back to lead the na tion's number one team Ar kansas for over half the game before suffering a 10 to 7 set back. The Huskers ended the sea son as the nation's sixth- ranked team, and the num per two delensive squad in the country. Budget Request Ranking as the semester's number three story was an increase of 10 million dollars in the budget submitted by the University for the 1965-67 biennium over the 1963-65 fig ure. Chancellor Clifford Hardin described the record figure as necessary to the increased enrollment and demand for excellence in the University." Governor Frank Morrison said the Legislature must be prepared to meet a 20 per cent increase in the budget for each biennium for the next 10 years. Finances The financial situation of the Daily Nebraskan rates the number four position in the top stories ranking. Brought to the limelight by a discussion in a Mudent Council meeting by Nebras kan Business Manager Mike Jeffrey, the inability of the paper to meet ts rising ex penses was a major topic throughout most of the se mester. A "position paper" was ' " "tf1 , 1) printed on Dec. 7 which out lined the situation from sev eral angles. "The University is expanding, and the Daily Nebraskan should be expand ing with it," said Susan Smithberger, Nebraskan edi tor, in that issue. "Because of rising printing costs, we must have a larger budget than was necessary before," she said. Civil Rights The emergence of an inter est in the Negro students and the Civil Rights movement gains the fifth position in top University stories. An overflow crowd estimat ed at over 2500 people turned out to hear an address by John Howard Griffin on Nov. 4. Griffin, author of "Black Like Me," outlined his ex periences while living in the South disguised as a Negro. On Nov. lb an organiza tional meeting was held to establish a local group of the Student Nonviolent Coordinat ing lommittee (sis IX), a na tional civil rights organiza tion. A civil rights march was organized by the group on Dec. 17, and about 50 students marched to the Capitol Building and took part in a rally following the march. On Jan. 13, Student Council passed a resolution introduced by Larry Frolik which urges student organizations at t h e University to delete any racial restrictions from their consti tutions. Pofffics Number six story was the political action on the campus concerning this year's state and national elections. In a poll conducted by Stu dent Council, University stu dents expressed their choices for the political offices. Among the results of this mock election, was a victory for President Johnson over Senator Goldwater and vic tory for Governor Morrison over his opponent, Lieutenant Governor Burney. In connection with local po litical campaigning, the Young Democrats lodged a protest with Student Union of ficials asking that action be taken against a Young Repub licans' booth in the Union which, the YD's charged, was Nebraskan Staff Urges All Students To Apply Applications for Daily Ne braskan staff members will be accepted until 5 p.m. Wednesday. Applications may be picked up in room 51 Stu dent Union and turned into the mailbox outside the Nebras kan Office. Three present staff mem bers encouraged all interest ed students to apply. Editor Susan Smithberger said, "I am proud of the staff it now has. They have done a good job. These are the kind of persons that are being sought to do the work next semester. A paper can be only as ef fective as its staff." Rich Halbert, managing ed itor, said "I encourage a 1 1 people who seem to be so in terested in the editorial poli cies of the Daily Nebraskan especially those who have voiced their criticism so strongly through private pub lications to apply for the po sition of editor of the Nebras kan. "It seems that if Ihese peo ple are so interested in free dom of speech and in reach ing the students, they will distributing al. 'smear" materi- The protested material was removed from the booth and no further action resulted. Michigan Fred Hare's last-second, ov-er-the-head basket against Michigan resulted in the se mester's number seven story. On Dec. 12 the Huskers en tertained the nation's t o p ranked Wolverines and pulled off one of the season's biggest upsets as Hare's bucket gave Nebraska a 74-73 victory. - Dead Week Student Council's resolution which declared the last week of regularly scheduled classes for the semester as a "Dead Week" gains the eighth spot on the chart. The resolution asked that all teachers attempt to avoid giving tests during this week and that student activities not meet during the week so that students might have a chance to get better prepared for their finals. Housing Number nine of semester's top ten stories was the action of the Student Committee on Coeducational Housing. The committee, composed of representatives from the dormitories which now have some degree of coed living, was formed to make a study into the advantages and dis advantages of expanded coed dorms. The committee made an ex tensive two month study into the situation and conducted a survey among over 100 oth er schools across the country on the coed living question. The results of this study were compiled mio a report which recommended that fu ture complexes and present residence halls at the Univer sity be planned or modified to house a coeducational group. Regents Rounding out the semester's top ten stones was the sale by the Board of Regents of 15.9 million dollars worth of bonds to a syndicate. By selling the bonds, the Regents saved over 82 thou sand dollars in interest pay ments from the next lowest bid and provided for more Friday, Jaunary 15, 1965 take advantage of the oppor tunity to apply for an editorial or staff position." News editor Frank Partsch, said, "The applications we have received so far indicate that we will have an outstand ing staff the second semes, ter. Several positions are still weak, including those of ag news editor, staff writers and news editor. "Several of our present staff members have reap plied, which will give next semester's staff some experi ence and continuity. It is un fortunate at this time that we have spent the whole semes ter bemoaning the poor work ing conditions of the staff writer. Staff positions and their monthly salaries are: junior staff writers, $17.50; senior staff writers, $35; ag news editor, $17.50; news editor, $65, managing editor, $65; copy editors, $35; assistant sports editor, $17.50; sports editor, $45; editor, $85; sub scription manager, $50; cir culation manager, $50; bus iness assistants, $17.50, and business manager, $85. flexibility in future construc tion financing for the Univer sity. The Regents refunded all outstanding bonds and em barked on an "open-ended" system of financing which will allow for additional bond sales to meet increasing construc tion needs of student services in the future. Forsyth Twins Win Regents' Scholarships David and Donald Forsyth of Lincoln are twin brothers and they proved this week that they are twin scholars as well. Both ranked among the top 100 scholars in a field of 7,0ii4 Nebraska seniors who took the Regents' Examination. As a result, David and Donald will receive four-year, full tuition scholarships if they choose to attend the Univer sity. This marks the first time that twins have been eligible to receive a four-year, f u 1 1 tuition scholarship since the program was initiated for the top 100 scholars three years ago. An older brother, Ian For syth, holds a Regents' schol arship and is a sophomore in pre-medicine at the Univer sity. They are the sons of Dr. and Mrs. Ford Forsyth of Lin coln. The twins have not made definite college plans. David is interested in chemistry and Donald hopes to become a physicist. Earlier this year the twins were named National Merit scholarship s e m i-finalists. Both boys also are on the honor roll at Lincoln High School.
