Sen. Terry Carpenter' recommends that University stu
dents take a day from their classes and march on the
state capitol, carrying signs and banners, to protest a
proposed tuition raise now being considered by the Uni
cameral. The Legislature's Budget Committee said Wednesday
that it will recommend increases in tuition at the Uni
versity and state colleges for next year.
In an interview yesterday, Carpenter, from Scottsbluff,
said that "the state shouldn't charge any tuition to any
of its citizens, let alone raise the present amount."
"Students should declare a holiday and skip all their
classes," Carpenter said. "First you should make an ap
plication for permission to march to the Legislature, and
if you don't get it, do it anyway. It's your right."
He said that students should "create a march big
enough to attract national attention."
"I'll be glad to lead it, follow it or stay out of it,"
Carpenter said. "You won't be demonstrating for your
selves, because you're already here, but for those w b o
will be left at home because of inability to meet tuition
rates."
"After this," Carpenter said, "it's the responsibility of
the alumni, who occupy positions of influence and prestige.
If they spent half as much effort on this as they do on
the football team, there would be no problem."
It would take only the appropriation of 1 more mile to
have no tuition at all, Carpenter said. The University could
double its enrollment by having no tuition, he said.
Budget Chairman Richard Marvel said specific tuition
amounts would be released next week.
"As part of the budget figures for the state colleges
and the University, the committee is incorporating in its
recommendations to the Legislature tuition increases for
resident and non-resident students in all areas," Marvel
said.
"Without a degree, you can't qualify for the final
trials," Carpenter said. "A degree is the entrance exam
to competition."
"I've been trying to get the student body to assemble,
and put the legislature before them," Carpenter said.
"Then I would ask them, 'This is what is here now. What
are you going to do about them?" Then I would say 'What
are you going to do when there are one and a half times
more of them in five years?"
Students should send letters home to their parents and
tell them about the situation, Carpenter said.
"Five to ten thousand students would put you well on
your way to accomplishing something," Carpenter said.
"Don't do it with only two or three hundred."
"I'd be glad to work with you to insure its effective
ness," Carpenter said. "If you do march in enough
strength, at least they won't raise the tuition."
"Education is the answer, more than anything else,
to all of our problems," he said. "The big problem is
that everyone votes whether they're educated or not. Pret
ty soon the uneducated people will run this thing if some
thing isn't done."
"TV, radio and pictures on the parade should stimulate
interest among people who don't know that the situation
exists," he said.
"You should make us do what ought to be done."
Gov. Frank Morrison warned against tuition in
creases that would deprive students of a college education.
However, the governor declined to comment directly
on the Legislature's Budget Committee recommendation
for hiked tuition at the University and state colleges until
the actual figures were released.
"The Legislature should keep in mind that our obliga
tion is to provide public education for our citizens," Mor
rison said. "It should assure itself no one would be de
prived of an education from tuition increases."
"Education increases productivity of the individ
ual citizen and the state gets back many times what it
invests in education," he said, but noted the tuition matter
is for Legislature determination.
On non-resident tuition Morrison said he believes an
out of state student should be charged whatever tuition
rate a Nebraska student would pay attending the universi
ty or college of that state.
He suggested non-resident hikes without regard for
those of other states can result in recriminations against
the state and a "fencing off" of Nebraska.
"An interchange of students between states is of im
portant intellectual and cultural benefit," he said.
Morrison said he will discuss tuition increase matters
with University officials and other educators in the state.

The Legislature's Budget Committee has announced
that it will recommend specific increases in tuition at the
University and the state colleges as a part of its first ap
propriations package.
Every additional dollar raised by student tuition fees
is a dollar that doesn't have to be raised by taxes. Thus,
if the legislature endorses the committee's general fund
recommendation the Board of Regents and the N o r m a 1
Board will be almost compelled to increase tuition to
get necessary operating cash.
Decisions on tuition were made at two executive ses
sions this week.
Dr. Loren Bonneau, Associate Professor of History and
Philosophy of Education, said, "Higher education is one
of the best investments society can make both from the
economic and cultural point of view "
"We have good students drop out every semester
simply because they cannot afford to attend any longer.
The demands on finances of scholarships and loans are a
strong indication that students cannot go to college with
out financial help."
"I think that we are already excluding some students;
to provide the equality of opportunity, then we have to
provide the means whereby as many students as possible
can attend college," he said.
"Industries and education grow together, and to keep
the youth in Nebraska we might follow the example of
New Yor!; and California, , and provide free institutions of
higher learning."
Floyd Hoover, registrar, said, "At one time the United
States felt that after the eighth grade the education re
sponsibility of the community came to an end."
An important milestone in overcoming this attitude
was the Kalamazoo Case. Free public education was ex
tended to secondary level by this action, according
to Hoover.
"More and more students are going beyond high
school for education. Now the majority of high school
graduates are attending some kind of educational institu
tion beyond high school."
"Is there a parallel here? Does the Kalamazoo Case
reflect what may happen to higher education?" asked
Hoover.
The idea of free secondary education was well estab
lished across the country when the percentage attending
high school was less than the college student today.
"It is also recognized as a proper use of state taxes
to support institutions of higher learning, because of the
broad return to society," said Vice Chancellor Joseph
Soshnik,
