Monday, March 15, 1965 The Daily Nebraskan Page 3 AA JI? B if .1 i eoiBcai cnooi puoae ne Of Nations Lowest By Priscilla Mullins Senior Staff Writer The College of Medicine budget re quest for teaching would provide "many of the College's essential needs," accord ing to Dr. Cecil Wittson, dean, even though the College has one of the "low est operating budgets in the nation." Wittson said that the $2,941,829 teach ing portion of the $7,820,000 budget request "would not bring the operating budget to even the average of the medical col leges in our area." The request provides for some addi tions to the faculty and for some increase in other expenses relative to instruction, he said. Due to the tremendous advances in medicine in the past decade, medical col leges must modernize their facilities, im prove and enlarge their teaching staffs and have more elaborate and expensive equipment," Wittson said. Medical subjects such as microbi ology, which used to require a single pro fessor, now require larger staffs with different kinds of specialists. There has also been a great increase of medical knowledge which has forced specializa tion into the clinical departments as well, he said. "This increase in our budget is not to increase the number of medical stu dents, but to improve the quality of in struction. Later, if the building program is approved, we will be able to graduate about twenty more physicians per year," according to Wittson. He remarked that there is a growing national shortage of physicians. "This country should have been graduating about 11,000 students per year. Instead, it has been graduating only slightly more than 7,000 doctors per year." Wittson said that Nebraska has a shortage of over 200 doctors. However, "since 74 per cent of the practicing physicians of this state were trained in the state, there is the possibility that most of the future additions to the state's medi cal profession will come from the gradu ates of the Nebraska medical colleges." He said he did not think that Nebraska can expect to import physicians in any large numbers from other states." In addition to the education and train ing of medical students, the College also has a "heavy responsibility in graduate and continuing education, graduate train ing for the interns and residents and continuing education for the practicing physician." The largest part of the College's budget request is to go for the proposed new University Hospital. The cost of the proposed facility has jumped from $5.4 to $8.4 million, according to institutional ex ecutives. Wittson said that features not includ ed in the cost figures when the hospital was first proposed "are now considered essential." These features include a cam pus kitchen, central supply area and an out-patient clinic. The 1963 Legislature appropriated $2.5 million and was hoping that an equal sum might be received from the federal government. The University is now asking $3.7 mil lion more for the 200-bed unit during the 1965-67 biennium. The work will be com pleted pending an additional $1.2 million appropriation from the 1967 Legislature. The University Hospital and Clinics serve two primary purposes, according to Wittson. First, they are the laboratories for the teaching and training of various students. Second, they provide extensive serv ice to the people of the entire state. Per sons who -are unable to afford private medical care are referred to the Univer sity Hospital from physicians of all the counties of the state. The Hospital budget reflects the pres ent day costs of hospital care, according to Wittson. "It is true that the per day cost is much larger than ten or twenty years ago. However, case costs have not increased at as rapid a rate as would seem by comparing per diem cost." "A modern hospital today handles many more patients per bed per year than form erly and per case costs have not increased at the rate per diem cost would indicate," he said. The School of Nursing which is includ ed in the .College must also "meet the challenge of modern medicine in its in struction and requirements." The same factors are true in the School of Medical Technology and the vari ous courses given for other health associ ated personnel, according to Wittson. He said that the College does not an ticipate a large full time clinical faculty, but expects to do a great deal of its teaching in affiliated private hospitals with participation of selected voluntary faculty of the private hospitals in the community. The major increase in this program, he said, is the three persons who will coordinate the teaching in the private hospitals.

Cowboy To Speak Adventures of a 10,000 mile motorcycle trip from Norway to Africa will be related by Danny L i s k a, Nebraska's wandering cowboy. Liska will speak at 4:30 p.m. on March 17 in the East Union lounge. A coffee hour will follow. There is no admission charge. Films of the 15-month jour ney will take the audience to a reindeer roundup in Lap land, behind the Iron Curtain of Czechoslovakia, along the camel caravan routes of t h e African Sahara and behind the "Veil of Arabia" to view Arab life, mosques and harems. After leaving Egypt, Liska and his wife journeyed to the source of the Nile and into Africa. The major part of Liska's story was filmed among the more primitive tribes of Af rica to tell a story of voo-doo magic and of strange cults and customs. Liska has previously trav eled 95.000 miles through 17 countries from the northern tip of Alaska to the southern tip of South America. The Plainview News wrote of Liska's travels, "His rem iniscing on amazing adven tures makes you feel like you were there . . . his gift of talk is astoundingly vivid and interesting." Liska served as Yul Bryn ner's double and stand-in dur ing the filming of Taras Bul ba while in South America. 'C Average Required At Most Universities Militzer Compares Systems; Explains Practice Elsewhere r A "C" average is the quirement for graduation most universities around the country, according to Dean Walter Militzer of the Arts and Sciences College. Militzer. who started the idea which resulted in t h e change of the University's grading system, said that the "C" is indicative of passing in good standing, while the "D" represents passing in poor standing. Militzer's comments were directed toward a minor stu dent reaction to the new sys tem. Some students have been saying that a "C sounds worse than a 5 on a grade report." He said he felt that the change is a "good thin g." Many faculty members have stated that they think it is a step in the right direction, he said. The faculty mem bers "don't feel thev can discriminate any more than three or four grade points." The new system will "de- emphasize just working for a grade," Militzer said. He noted that there are several factors involved in the grad ing emphasis, however. These would include the kind of course being taken and the in structor. "Actually," Militzer said, "it's really a matter of getting on the same basis as 95 per cent of the other colleges in the country." There is somewhat of a problem in equating the 9-8-7 system to the A-B-C, accord ing to Militzer. The "A" used to be the same as a 9, but now it tends to include the 8 and the 9, he said. Formerly the 9 included only the top 3 per cent of the class, but this has changed too, he said. As far as putting the over all averages together under the two systems, Militzer said "we don't have to fuse one grade average into another." If necessary for house scho lastic competition or class re-; standing, this would be done, for he said. The students will have to do a little adjusting to this new system. Militzer said, but "I rather think that most of them will welcome the system." NEBRASKAN APPLAUDS Winners of the Nebras ka Union Photo Contest held in February are: Black and white pictorial: 1.
