Rgents Meet
With Budget
The Board of Regents will
probably meet with the Leg

members on April 8 to dis

problems, according to Vice
Chancellor Joseph Soshnik.
Final confirmation on the
date will come Thursday,
Sosbnik said. He said it might
be called off if enough par
ties from both groups are not
able to attend the session.
The Board of Regents ear
lier promised the ASUN that
they would meet with the
committee to discuss solutions
tor the University to keep
from raising student tuition
next year.
University executives have
said that the school needs at
least a half-million dollars
more than it can now anti
cipate to accommodate in
xollment in September.
Clarence Swanson, Board
of Regents president, said
Tuesday that the Regents
had met privately with Gov.
Frank B. Morrison last week
to discuss the school's finan
ccial problems for the coming
academic year.

Four students have enrolled
in the University's newest
language course Portuguese.
Antonio Salles, associate
professor in the romance lan

course.
"This is the first year that
the University has offered
Portuguese," said Salles.
According to Salles, Portu
guese is the fifth most im
portant language in the world
today. He noted that Portu
guese is vital for studies of
Latin America because of the
prominence of Brazil, whose
people speak the language.

Because of the class, Miss Kot

University students was pres
ent at a public hearing in the
Council chambers. Most of
them were against the city
ordinance.
Mayor Dean Petersen noted
that not one person had shown
up at the public hearing on
the ordinance when it came
up.
"It is your responsibility to
take time and the trouble to
see what is going on in City
Hall," he said.
Helmets Required
Unanimously passed on
Feb. 14, the ordinance re
quires operators and passen
gers on motordriven cycles
on city streets traveling in
excess of 25 miles per hour to
wear crash helmets. ,
In conjunction with the or
dinance, Councilman E r v i n
Peterson called for a resolu
tion asking the Legislature to
license drivers to motorcycles
separately.
Councilman Loyd Hinkley
said the present ordinance is
"good in theory, but not prac
tical." He also expressed con
cern that the helmets do im
pair the vision and hearing of
the operators.
Comstock said he thinks the
ordinance "went too far in
imposing on personal rights."
Out-Of-Town Drivers
Councilman John Mason
noted that there would also be
drivers going through Lincoln
affected by this ordinance.
He said he thought that the
use of crash helmets is
analogous to the use of seat
belts. "The state hasn't gone so
far as to make it an offense
not to fasten your seatbelt,"
Mason said.
Council members requested
that the Police Department
provide more information
about motocycle accidents.

He also expressed concern
over the helmets being stolen.
He pointed out there is no
place to put the helmets and
they cannot be left on the mo
torcycle. Peterson said that he would
not consider requiring in

for operators, of motorcycles
an unreasonable restriction.
David Neal, another stu
dent said that motorcycle ac
cidents "are the result of in

crash helmets won't correct
these accidents."
"I suggest that operators be
required to show some degree
of proficiency," Neal said.

Aid
H
Special Council Helps
With Project Finances
By Julie Morris
Senior Staff Writer
EDITOR'S NOTE: In pub
lic statements both the chair
man and vice chairman of
the Legislative Council bud
get study committee have
suggested that instead of
raising tuition next year, the
University should divert some
of its research and public
service project money. This
Is the first story In a series
on the research projects which
the University has at this
time.
While the typical Univer
sity faculty member lacks
the businessman's convient
expense account, he does
have financial resources
available through research
grants.
Research grants provide
the money, and quite often
the time, for a teacher to
work on a research project
or a creative work.
Robert Beadell, associate
professor of music theory and
composition, said that with
out his research grant, he
would have had to turn down
the opportunity to do a pro
ject because of lack of time.
Research Council
Beadell received a grant-in-aid
of almost $4,000 from the
University Research Council,
an extension of the graduate
college.
The Research Council is
one source of grants for Uni
versity faculty members. The
Council receives an annual
allotment from the Univer
sity's general budget ap
propriated by the State Legis
lature, according to Ben
jamin McCashland, secretary
of the Council. The Council
received $104,600 for the 1964
65 year.
The money is used for var
ious programs, including sum
travel grants, visiting lectur
ers, faculty leaves, research
assistants and library re
sources, McCashland said.
The Council, he continued,
attempts to "put money
where it will do the most
good." He noted that the
Council recognizes the need
to put equal emphasis on the
humanities and the arts as
much as on science.
The Council, he said, also
takes charge of distributing
"institutional grants" given
to the University by outside
agencies. These grants, Mc
Cashland explained, are
given for use in research in
any area the school feels it
is needed.
McCashland cited the Dante
Conference held last semes
ter as one program the Coun
cil supported with research
money.
The Council also provided
funds for research projects
such as a study of bone
density in twin children, the
updating of the faculty re
search index, a psycho
sociological study of murders
and a study of "suitcase
farming" in the Central
Plains.
'Experimental' Opera
Beadell's grant was pro
vided so that he could write
an opera which was commis

sioned by Northwestern Uni
versity. The project is an ex
perimental venture for use of
chamber music and wind
instruments, trumpets, clar
inets, trombones and brass,
rather than an orchestral
background with stringed in
struments. The opera, titled "The Num
ber of Fools", will premier
in May at Northwestern Uni
versity, Beadell noted.
Production costs, he said,
are being assumed by North
western. Beadell commended the
University Research Council,
for it "fulfills all that is ex
pected of it without prejudice
or slant." Beadell added that
he is "truly grateful" to the
Council for providing the
funds for his work.
Outside Grants
A second resource area for
research grants is the out
side grant or fellowship fur
nished by government agen
cies, or by private founda
tions and industries.
"About 95" of the outside
grants come from the Federal
government, according to Dr.
Mark Hobson, dead of the
graduate college and chair
man of the Research Council.
Grants given last year
came from sources such as
the National Park Service,
Squibb, Northern Natural Gas
Products, the U.S. Public
Health Service, Shell Chem
icals and the North Dakota
State Wheat Commission.
Total Amount
The total amount of outside
research moneys granted to
the university last year was
over $8 million, Hobson said.
A typical outside grant-in-aid

AWS: 'No
Late Date
Precedent'
There will be no late date
night this weekend for Kos
met Klub the AWS Board de
cided Tuesday.
According to one AWS
Board member, the derision
was reached "because there
was actually no precedent
the one last year was estab
lished by special request."
"No special request was
made this year," she con
tinued, "and we decided last
year's decision was a hasty
one."
Other factors taken into ac
count, 'she noted, were that
Kosmet Klub last two nights
and it's unfair to make one
night a late night and not the
other and two late date nights
on one weekend would be un
fair to those people who
wanted overnights.
At the same time, the AWS
Board decided not to have a
late date night for Greek
Week as they had done last
year for similar reasons.
contact is, in his opinion, dif
ficult. "Our society has to find
some other solution so the
problems of higher educa
tion," said Manley, "I think
the new liberal arts colleges
are the answer."
Manley feels that this new
type of liberal arts school
promises to provide a place
for small colleges in this
country, though it is still up
to the individual as to which
type of school he prefers.
Manley has been with the
University as a full-time fac
ulty member since 1962. He
received the Builder's Out
standing Professor Award last
year. Particularly disting
uished for his studies of the
history of Nebraska, Manley
lectures on the history of the
state.
