I 1966-67 Budget Approved
The Board of Regents Tues
day approved a $27 million
University budget for the year
beginning July 1, 1966. The
figure represents an increase
of $2,078,000 over the current
year.
The new budget anticipates
a supplemental appropriation
of $596,612 from the 1967 Leg
islature that will be required
to serve an estimated 17,200
students next fall without a
tuition hike or cutbacks in
current programs.
About 70 of the increase
will go for instructional p r fl
eams including librar
ies, while 10 will go for in
creased social security and
retirement cost for employ
ees. The remaining 20 of
the increase is earmarked for
current research and service
programs, physical plant op
erations and maintenance and
administration.
17,200 Estimated
The current fall enrollment
estimate of 17,200 is higher by
1,500 than the base figure the
University used when it draft
ed its biennial budget plans in
the fall of 1964.
Part of the increased funds
designated for the agricultur
al extension services, $38,000,
will be refunded in a federal
program.
"The only area of uncer
tainty," in the year's budget
plans is the "supplemental
Morrill-Nelson Fund," accord
ing to Vice Chancellor Joseph
Soshnik. Part of the federal
funds allotted to Nebraska un
der the Morrill-Nelson Act of
1890 are threatened with a
federal budget cutback. If
cut, the funds remaining
would be only $50,000.
Sorghum Yield
The Regents Tuesday also
accepted a $533,000, five-year
research grant to support
work aimed at increasing the
potential yeilds of sorghum.
The grant came from the
Rotkerleilex Foundation.

and Emanuel Wishnow, foun
dation professor of music.
Chancellor Clifford Hardin
said there has been "very lit
tle work done" in the area of
research with sorghum yields
in various climates and noted
that the product is a major
food crop in many of the hun
gry areas of the w orld.
Involvement in the re
search program will be
spread over several depart
ments including departments
in the College of Agriculture
and in the city campus botany
department. Hardin said,
"There is going to be great
interest" in the program from
research experts in all areas
of food production."
Senate To Consider
New Questionnaire
By Jan Itkin
Senior Staff Writer
A revised questionnaire for
the Faculty Evaluation Book
will be presented for approv
al at Wednesday's Student
Senate meeting.
Both the questionnaire and
the manner of distributing
them have been revised, ac
cording to Ladd Lonnquist,
chairman of the ASUN Fac
ulty Evaluation committee,
and the concept of the book
has been broadened to include
a course evaluation.
Earlier this semester, ques
tionnaires for the book were
distributed through all the
living units. Of 5,000 question
naires only 3,000 were re
turned and the committee de
cided that a "responsible book
could not be published with
such a small representation."
Lonnquist explained that ac
cording to the revised method
of distribution, questionnaires
would be handed out in t h e
classrooms during Dead Week
Krag Tells
Of Need
For Unity
By Nancv Henrickson
Junior Staff Writer
The United States has lived
up to its responsibilities to
wards Europe in the course
of history, asserted the Prime
Minister of Denmark, Jens
Otto Krag, at the University
Honor Convocation Tuesday
morning.
Addressing approximately
2600 students, faculty and
parents in the Coliseum. Krag
said that twice the United
States has been called upon to
step to the rescue and to aid
the material reconstruction of
Europe.
"The defense of the f r e e
world, aid to European recon
struction, aid to apolitical re
construction of Europe, aid to
the undeveloped countries all
these words cover world re
sponsibilities which the
United States has tried to hon
or to a degree and in a co
operative spirit, which I can
hardly imagine any other
nation offering," he said.
The friends and allies of
America should not uncritic
ally accept everything the
United States proposes or
does, Krag continued.
Element Of Trust
"There is a basic element
of trust between nations as
between individuals w hich we
can only disregard at our own
peril. In our time this basic
element of trust might be de
scribed as an acceptance of
the concept of integration of
defense and in economic re
lations." Referring to the North At
lantic Treaty Organization he
said that the system of inte
grated defense of the North
Atlantic Area in peacetime is
being assailed by one mem
ber country.
NATO will overcome this
crisis and it will work out
such arrangements to secure

ters to the faculty last week
and have received about 120
replies so far," be said. "The
response has been real favor
able so far only four instruc
tors have said we could not
enter their classes."
In addition to asking per
mission to distribute question
naires in the classrooms, the
letters request the instructor
to write "a brief summary of
the actual subject matter and
goals" of the course, includ
ing the type and number of
hour exams and quizzes, num
ber of themes and list of re
quired texts.
Lonnquist noted that the
book would be organized to
include the instructor's evalu
ation of the course and then
the student's evaulation of the
instructor.
