Pharmacy Enrollment
Causes Budget Request
By Priscilla Mullins
Senior Staff Writer
The last five years h a v
brought the enrollment in the
College of Pharmacy from 35
students to 136 in the last
three years of the program,
This, according to Dean
Robert Gibson, is the main
cause of a $61,000 increase in
the College's proposed 1965-67
budget request to tne legis
lature.
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.

The laying of the ground
work for a new form of stu
dent government at the Uni
versity takes precedence over
state and national government
battles and some successful
athletic battles as the top
news story of the first se
mester. 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.

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

taken against a Young Repub

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

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.
