Marvel Says Tuition
Increase 'Unnecessary
By Jan Itkin
Senior Staff Writer
The University's financial
problems can be solved with
out calling a special session
of the Legislature or raising
the tuition, according to State
Sen. Richard Marvel.
Marvel, who is chairman
of the Committee on Budget,
stressed that his views were
his own and not necessarily
those of the other senators on
his committee.
"I have no idea what the
governor will do if he is asked
to call a special session," he
said, "but if the matter is
left to the Legislature, the
senators would be reasonably
reluctant to attend a special
session."
"There are answers other
than a special session or a tui
tion raise," he continued. "At
the m e e t i n.g between the
budget study committee and
the Board of Regents in early
April other alternatives wiil
be discussed."
Redistribute Funds
Marvel explained that since
the problem concerns the sec
ond year of the biennium. the
University could possibly re
distribute the funds that thpy
already have allocated. He
added that the first concern
of a University should be
teaching and that even if it
meant postponing other
things, the University must
have enough qualified teach
ers to fit the demand.
"T h e more students en
rolled, the more teachers
must be furnished," he noted.
"We must meet this chal
lenge. The University's first
need is teachers this isn't
downgrading the other needs,
but the teachers must come
first."
"That is all the more rea
son for coordinating educa
tion," Marvel added. Needs
must be fit into a general
plan for the University, the
four state colleges, five junior
colleges and the University
of Omaha."
"There is so much need
and so much projection, and
all this must be fit into a pat
tern of need or priority."
"We can't forget that the
University is one of the major
forces in our state," he noted.
"As it progresses so does

er of the state is w ith the Uni
versity and it is a waste not
to utilize it. It cannot be ne
glected." Marvel suggested that one
way to distribute University
funds so as to utilize the brain
power would be to budget ac
cording to programs rather
than items.
Program Budget
"We having been moving
more and more toward a pro
gram budget since 1961," h
said, "In fact that has b e e n
one of our major moves."
Marvel noted that the prob
lem of finances and education
is "a sensitive area" to most
legislatures.
"I don't care what legisla
tive meeting you talk about,"
he said, "the most sensitive
area of state government is
education. The Nebraska Leg
islature recognizes the fact
that education, percentage
wise, spends more of the state
dollar than other items and
that therefore a close rapport
must be established between
the Legislature and the Uni-
versity."
"A discussion of these
problems," he continued,
"should be based on a prior
ity of expenditures. In the
hearings last spring, adminis
trators and legislators agreed
that the most important, or
item of first priority, is teach
ing. It should be the last
thing to be sacrificed."
Marvel said that the pro
posed tuition raise "w o u 1 d
run the danger" of being con
tinued after the one year pe
riod. "An emergancy tuition raise
is a difficult thing to remove,"
he noted.
When asked about proce
dure for changing a request
for appropriations after that
request had been submitted,
he explained, "Any change
can be made up until the bill
has passed."
"The budget bill is usually
one of the last bills passed
and is amended up until the
last few days of the session,"
he continued.

Sun Decks Attract Roving Eyes
By Toni Victor
Junior Staff Writer
Girls sit on them and boys
stare from them. No matter
what they are used for, sun
decks have recently become
most popular with University
students.
Few living units are
equipped with actual sun
decks, but somehow, students
seem to find suitable alters
for sun-worship and golden
tans.
Roofs are the most used
spots for sun-bathing. The
girls at Alpha Chi Omega use
the roof of their new addition
for this purpose. Kappa Alpha
Theta sorority members have
appropriated the roof outside
their third floor dormitory.
Roof Sun Decks
The roof of the new addition
at the Gamma Phi Beta soror
ity house is quite large, and
a number of girls have been
using it as a sun deck al
ready. Alpha Gamma Sigma uses
the top of its fraternity house
as a sun deck, as do the Chi
Phi's. Kappa Sigma uses the
roof of its house upon which
to lie and soak up the sun.
The lawns at University
Terrace and in Women's Res
HcMce Association also have
ith
gon to a specific point and 211
ride back in the car to the
starting line.
On Monday during Greek
Week, IFC will sponsor ex
change dinners. A recognition
banquet will be held on Tues
day to recognize top Greek
scholars. Members of the
Greek honorary. Gamma
Gamma, will also be an
nounced at this time.
Panhellenic passed a reso
lution to accept the IFC crit
eria for membership in Gam
ma Gamma which limits the
honor to seniors only. It was
emphasized at the meeting
that a house may nominate
any number of students for
Gamma Gamma member
ship. A report from a Panhellenic
delegate. Leslie Broutman,
was made concerning the cost
of installing fire alarms in
sorority houses. Further work
will be done in this area and
a report will be made at the
next meeting.
Former members of Junior
Panhellenic presented a re
port based on a Junior Pan
hellenic discussion concerning
pledge training. The report
revolved around study hours,
activities functions and line
ups. In general, the Junior Pan
hellenic representatives dis
liked study hours at sorority
their share of oil-anointed
bodies. Delta Gamma, Kappa
Delta, Alpha Delta Pi and
Zetar Tau Alpha sororities use
the large stretch of grass be
tween the houses as their sun
deck.
The square of lawn inside
Women's Residence, between
Heppner and Love Halls has
been regularly in use within
the last five days as a sun
bathing area. Sigma Kappa
sorority also uses its back
yard for this purpose. Delta
Delta Delta girls use the grass
land at the side of their soror
ity house.
Reserved Sun Decks
Many sorority houses and
fraternity houses have sun
decks reserved for the bath
ing purpose. Alpha Phi's have
a fairly iolated sun deck. Chi
Omega sorority has one of the
most well-known sun decks,
according to the occupants of
Cather Hall. Alpha Tau Ome
ga fraternity and Theta Xi
have regular sun decks which
have been in use much of this
last week.
The sun never shines on the
Phi Gamma Delta fraternity's
sun deck. Evidently, the roof
creates too much of a shadow
so the boys have to head for
Pioneer Park to lie in the sun.

houses during the week, but
were in favor of putting in
hours at the house on week
ends. It was stated that pledges
would rather participate in
activities voluntarily in order
to obtain the most satisfaction
from the activity program.
Functions were fun and had
definite value for pledges, the
representatives noted, but af
ter about three months, func
tions tended to interfere with
other activities.
Coed To Attend
Portland Meeting
The rush chairman of the
University chapter of Phi Chi
Theta, National Fraternity
for Women in Business and
Economics, has been chosen
as a representative to the
1966 biennial meeting of the
fraternity.
Betty Nott will attend the
meeting in Portland, Oregon,
June 27-30. The meeting will
include discussion sessions
and seminars.
In addition, the representa
tives have the option of going
on a vacation trip to either
Hawaii or Alaska at the com
pletion of the meeting.
with mattresses placed upon
them are also convenient
spots for sun-bathing. Alpha
Gamma Rho uses its balcony,
but just for studying, accord
ing to one of its members.
Kappa Kappa Gamma mem
bers use a second floor bal
cony to get suntans. Sigma
Kappas put mattresses on the
fire escape, a position which
one representative described
as "most uncomfortable."
Delta Upsilon is the only
fraternity with a patio in the
middle of its house. This loca
tion is used for absorbing sun
shine. 'Sun-bather Watching
Unfortunately, according to
most fraternities, the Wom
en's sun decks are not in
plain view.
The Kappa Sigma sun deck
is in sight of Piper Hall al
though a Kappa Sigma mem
ber said there had been no
evidence of girls with binocu
lars. An Alpha Chi Omega repre
sentative said that their sun
deck was in direct line with
two fraternity houses, but
she "didn't know how observ
ant the guys are."
Despite the number of sun
bathing spots and the number
of bathers, few tans have yet
be-in reported.
Date Is Still
Undetermined
By Julie Morris
Senior Staff Writer
The University Regents in
dicated Tuesday that they will
seek a meeting with the Legis
lative Budget Committee to
discuss the University's fund
shortage.
Exactly when such a meet
ing will be held is not cer
tain. Board of Regents Presi
dent Clarence Swanson said
the Board hopes it will come
next week.
Chairman of the budget
committee, Sen. Richard Mar
vel, said the meeting will not
be scheduled until the first of
April.
ASUN President Kent Neu
meister appeared before the
Board meeting to request that
the Regents meet with the
budget committee and with
Gov. Frank Morrison to dis
cuss the situation.
Requested Special Session
The Student Senate had orig
inally prepared a resolution
asking the Regents to request
a special session of the Legis
lature to deal with the prob
lem. However, Morrison an
nounced Monday night that he
would not call such a session
because the budget committee
alone could deal with the
problem.
In view of Morrison's an
nouncement, Neumeister said,
the Senate would be "amen
able" to a meeting of the Re
gents and the Budget Com
mittee. Vice Chancellor Joseph
S 0 s h n i k announced earlier
that student fees may be
raised about $40 to make up
for a shortage of University
funds. The shortage occurred
because of a disparity in
money requested from the
Legislature and in the actual
amount needed for the two
year period covered by t h e
request.
Chancellor Clifford Hardin
said that "while it looked
like" enrollments last fall
"would be higher" than the
first projections "we didn't
know it until the end of Decern
ber and the budget figure had
already been submitted" to
the Legislature.
"The principal error in the
iscalulation was the retention
rate of students already en
rolled. "We were right on the
high school graduate enroll
ment," Hardin said.
'Wait and See'
Swanson said the Board of
Regents will be adopting a
"wait and see" attitude with
the Budget Committee. "We
don't know what they will pro
pose," he said, "but we can't
tell them what to do." He
noted that the committee has
stated that they can deal with
the problem.
He said the Board plans to

make "no statements" until

the Budget Committee.
Vice Chancelor G. Robert
Ross said that students should
be "aware that the Regents
have fought tuition increases
all down the line."
Swanson added "until last
year the vote was consistently
against increases, then this
thing began to snowball." He
stressed however, that in his
eyes, the tuition increase
would be a "last resort meas
ure" to be used "only after
all other ways are ex
hausted." F of SNCC
