An increase in enrollment in the
College of Law is the main reason for
an increased budget request for the col
lege, according to Dean David Dow.
Dow said that the increase has
been from 30 to 35 per cent over the
last four or five years. "If the increase
amounts to much more, we will need
to start dividing the freshman and per
haps upper classes into sections for in
structional purposes," he said. This
would involve additional teaching per
sonnel to handle the classes.
At present, there are ten persons on
the teaching staff, including the Dean.
Dow said he had requested additional
staff members, in effect equal to two
and one half persons.
This year there are 94 students in
the freshman class, but this will probab
ly be 110 next fall if the trend of the
last five years continues, Dow said.
The entire Law College enrollment
this year is 175, but this will probably
be 225 next year, he added.
''If we are able to hire more people,
we can offer a few more courses which
we are not now able to give."
The College's budget request of
$353,941 is an increase of $64,006 over
the 1963-65 biennium. The additional per
sonnel, as well as normal salary pro
motion increases takes up the major
portion of this, but some of the funds
are needed for expansion of a project
now being carried on by the College.
The electronic retrieval of informa
tion, Dow said, is a research project
which will prove effective for all
lawyers. In addition, it should give "real
service to the State Legislature and the
executive offices."
With such a program, all legal in
formation, such as the entire Revised
Statutes of Nebraska of 1943 may be put
on tapes.
When a lawyer is searching for all
the information on a certain topic, it
may sometimes take as long as one or
two days to do a thorough job of re
search, Dow said.
"With all this information on tape,
it would take 15 to 30 minutes to find
all the information, and be sure you
have it all."
There are various institutions in the
country, including the University of Pitts
burg, working on this project, Dow said.
"If we can do certain work of this kind
in Nebraska, then we Mill be in a posi
tion to trade information with the other
states."
The states of Pennsylvania, New
York and New Jersey now have their
state statutes on tape, according to Dow,
and have access to the federal statutes,
as Nebraska does. The federal statute
tape is located at Colorado Springs.
Dow said that Nebraska is "for
tunate in that we have several people
here who can come up with some new
ideas in this field."
Work on the project is done at the
Computing Center of the University. One
professor from the Law College works
with the project, mainly, Dow said, but
teaches four classes in addition to this.
He is also coach for the national Moot
Court team.
Don Nelson, the head of the Com
puting Center, has been helpful on the
project, Dow said. There is also one re
search assistant who works on the pro
ject in the computing laboratory.
Another phase of the College's budget
includes the usual office expenses and
supply costs, Dow said.
"We feel that over the years the
College has been putting out excellent
graduates," he said. "In order to main
tain this excellence, it will be necessary
to expand our staff to keep up with the
expanding student enrollment."
Dow added that the student enroll
ment at the College is largely made up
of Nebraska students. "Over the years
an average of 70 per cent of our graduates
will stay in Nebraska. This is one of the
highest percentages in any college at the
University."
"I would suppose that at least one
half of the active lawyers in the state
today are our graduates," he said.
"There seems to be a very real
demand in Nebraska and elsewhere for
additional legal service."

Sufaecf For
Ennes Lecture I
Mr. Howard Ennes. presi-j
dent of the International Union j
for Health Education, will
speak Mar. 18, in the Nebras-
ka Union conference room, on j
Community Health Educa-,
tion. I
Dr. S. I. Fuenning, Medical '
Director of Student Health,;
emphasized. "This is an open !
lecture, and anyone is wel-!
come."
Ennes holds a Master of!
Public Health from Yale Uni-!
versify. He has received the j
silver medal of the Pasteur j
Institute (Paris) for work in!
furthering health education of j
the public, and the Gold Med- i
al from the French National !
Academy of Medicine.
"As advances are being;
made in the preventative area j
of public health, said Dr.
Fuenning, "further require
ments are being made of the
members of the community
for their understanding."
"As the public becomes
jmore knowledgeable and is
able to participate, earlier
identification of important i
disease processes becomes j
possible, thereby maintaining i
better health."
There is a tremendous gap
between medical klowledge
discovery and its use. It has
become a problem to educate
the citizens of today in the
application of this knowledge
to everyday living.
"Part of the University's
program in education in this
field is bringing speakers
such as Ennes to Nebraska,"
said Fuenning.
AFROTC Art Exhibit
Will Open Tomorrow
Air Force ROTC Detach
ment 456 and the Department
of Educational Services will
sponsor the Air Force Docu
mentary Art Exhibit, begin
ning tomorrow. It will be held
in the North and South confer
ence rooms of the Union and
be open to the public from 12
to 9 p.m. daily.
The exhibit portrays the his
tory of the Air Force with
both historical and contempo
rary paintings. Many of the
forty works regularly hang in
the White House, the Penta
gon, and the Air Force Academy.
Students seeking a break
from the academic grind or
a change after graduation
may find the answer in Vol
unteers In Service to Ameri
ca (VISTA).
This domestic peace corps
offers volunteers a chance to
serve their country and help j
us more untonunate citizens.
MSTA workers live in the
"field" with poverty stricken
families. Their training does
not give them new skills, rath
er it teaches them to apply
their present skills to work
with the poor.
VISTA asks only one year of
service and its volunteers
stay in the United States.
The function of VISTA is to
supplement existing agencies
in needy communities. Only ;
after a community has peti
tioned for VISTA workers will
they be sent.
About 4,0(11) requests are
now being processed. Forty
nine projects requiring 234
volunteers in 20 states have
already been approved.
Officials expect 3.000 VISTA
volunteers in the field by the
end of the program's first
year.
Educational background is
widely varied among VISTA
volunteers. Officials estimate
30 per cent of the first 9.000
volunteers are college gradu
ates, 30 per cent have had
some college training and 30
per cent are high school grad
uates only.
Many VISTA administrators
are veterans of the Peace
Corps. Sargent Shriver, Peace
Corps organizer, is director
of the office of Economic Op
portunity of which VISTA is
a division.
Glenn Ferguson, a former
associate director of the
Peace Corps, is director of
VISTA.
Ferguson and other VISTA
officials talk of their program
in terms of the peace corps.
The director told reporters
VISTA applications for the
first month of operation out
numbered the first month of
Peace Corps applications.
He said he hopes VISTA
trainees in the field by June
will be much larger than the
numl sr of Peace Corps work
ers in the field over the same
time period when that pro
gram was' being organized.
