Love Memorial Celebrates
25th Anniversary Saturday
Love Memorial Hall on
East campus celebrates its
twenty - fifth anniversary
this week as alums return
for homecoming festivities.
Love Hall, a cooperative
residence hall for women
majoring in home eco
nomics, had its beginning
in 1941. Miss Margaret Fed
de, dean of the College of
Home Economics for 30
years, originated the idea of
a hall where girls could re
duce their college expenses
by doing their own cooking
and housekeeping.
The building was a gift
from Lincoln philantrophist
and businessman, Donald
L. Love, in memory of his
wife Julia.
Love, a multi-millionaire
who also donated money to
the city campus for Love
library and Carrie Bell Ray
mond Hall, felt that this
type of living unit would
"help college girls to help
themselves," and give them
an opportunity to attend
college at less expense.

It is actually money, not

HC Dance
The Homecoming Dance of
yesterday, complete with long
formals, starched shirts, bou
tonnieres, and above all, slow
music, has disappeared along
with running boards and
bathtub gin.
Today it is no longer fash
ionable to "swing and sway"
to the lilting sounds of some
rhapsodic trombone while
visions of the alma mater
dance through one's mind.
Rather, the scene at Home
coming Dances is now one of
jerking bodies, thumping and
driving to what has been
termed "gutty" music.
Such is the music which
will be presented at Friday's
Homecoming Dance, featur
ing "The Kingsmen". Their
music has been described as
"free wheeling, hard-driving,
gutty, and soulful sounds that
tear audiences up."
"The Kingsmen" will pro
vide music for the dance,
from 9 p.m. to midnight at
the Coliseum. Also Included
in the dance is the coronation
of the 1966 Homecoming roy
alty. Students may purchase
tickets for the dance for $1.50
from Corn Cob workers at a
booth in the Nebraska Union,
according to Jerry Olson,
Corn Cobs Homecoming
chairman.
. Olson stated that attire for
the dance is informal.

The cooperative living ex
perience at Love Memorial
Hall is presently shared by
49 girls. The hall is divided
into seven units on the
ground floor, each with its
own kitchen and eating
area.
The six to eight girls in
each unit plan their own
menus, do the cooking
and housekeeping. Each
resident serves as a cook,
second cook, housekeeper,
first and second maid, or
hostess for two weeks, then
rotates to a new duty. This
gives the girls equal ex
perience in homemaking.
The hall also provides so
cial and recreation rooms,
a housemother's suite, and
laundry and sewing rooms.
Freshman as well as up
perclassmen are allowed to
live in Love Hall. Selection
is made each year from
home economics majors on
the basis of scholarship,
citizenship, and financial
need. A student must main-
History
Legislature and the state po
litical system itself.
Nebraska, with the only
one-house state legislature in
the nation, operates with a
non-partisan legislative body
and a partisan executive,
making executive leadership
through the use of party af
filiations impossible.
Nebraska's governors have
not been able to "whip legis
lators into line" on executive
requests, such as the budget,
because the lawmakers are
responsible only to the voters
on a non-partisan basis.
Executive Budget Request
The governor holds budget
hearings in November and
December" and prepares an
executive budget request that
is presented to the Legisla
ture in the early days of the
sessions, which open in January.

Temperatures are expected

According to the Weather

They are caused by a low
amount of cloud cover which
enables the heat accumulated
during the day to escape in

This session the lawmakers
will receive the executive
budget recommendations of
both Gov. Frank B. Morri
son and his sucessor. Ne
braska state law provides
that he incoming and outgo
ing governors both prepare
budgets.
While the governors' rec
ommendations on the Univer
sity's budgets have not been
ignored, legislative appropri
ations have concurred with
the executive recommenda
tions only three times in the
past 13 years.
Over the same period, the
University's request for state
tax subsidies have risen
steadily at an even rate un
til this year when adminis
trators requested a hike of
$24.9 million over the 1965-67
request.

students have found it neces
sary to make frequent ad

the day.
One coed said, "I'm tempt
ed to carry a suitcase with
me so that I can change from
my winter to summer clothes
at noon. I live so far from
the campus that it's impos
sible for me to go home dur
ing the day and I'm forced
to sweat out the afternoon or
freeze during the morning."
Some students living in
Greek houses or dorms are a
bit luckier than off-campus
students because they can
make changes during the day.
But one dorm resident said
that even this is no assurance
from the weather changes.
He said "I've got classes
all through the morning and
when I come out of my last
class I'm literally melting."
Incentives, Officials' Aid Required
To Attract Convocation Speakers
By Tonl Victor
Senior Staff Writer
Lack of interest from Uni
versity and state officials and
students is the major reason
for the lack of convocation
speakers, according to Foster
Owens, head of the Faculty
Senate Convocations Commit
tee. The committee which in
vites specialized department
al speakers and all-University
convocation speakers has
been unable to schedule a
speaker for convocations this
year.
Eight potential speakers
were invited in February for
the convocations this fall and
spring. The list included Ro
bert McNamara, John Lind
say, Dean Rusk, and J. Ed
gar Hoover.
All refused saying they
could not plan their schedule
that far ahead.
At present, another list of
eighteen speakers is being
studied, having been voted
upon by the committee at a
meeting last Thursday.
"The Faculty Senate Con
vocations Committee acts
mainly as an approving and
vetoing body for Union Talks
and Topics Committee sug
gestions," said Owens.
Larry Grossman, chairman
of Talks and Topics, stated
that the present list of con
vocation speakers include:
Robert Nader, Mark Lane, J.
R.R. Tolkein, U.S. Senator,
William Fulbright of Arkan
sas and Lester Pearson.

recommendation on the bud

ANOTHER STUDENT steps up to cast a vote for Homecoming queen
in the Pan-American Room of the Nebraska Union. Elections began
Wednesday and will also be held Thursday in the Nebraska Union from

the East Campus Union from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Students must present

problem in obtaining speak
ers, stated Owens. He said
that more interest should be
exhibited on the part of busi
ness and political officials in
the state.
"If the governor would per
sonally invite a man who
would be of interest to the
University, we would be will
ing to sponsor the speaker
and he would be more likely
to come," explained Owens.
"We need as much attrac
tion as possible to get good
speakers out to Nebraska,"
he continued.
Grossman noted that be
sides the financial considera
tion, speakers need a second
reason to schedule an ap
pearance. He listed such
things as ' the bestowing of
honorary degrees, or a chance
to make a major policy
speech by a high government
official.
"Unless we get a major
policy pronouncement con
cerning the farm belt, I can't
envision any high govern
mental official coming to
speak here," stated Gross
man. He continued saying that
"too often we set our sights
too high with the incentives
Nebraska has offered in the
past."
Incentives that Nebraska
could offer according to Ow
ens and Grossman, include:
invitations to speakers signed
by the chancellor or gover
nor, utilization of University
faculty contacts in procuring
and Harry Pizer of North
Platte, presented a minority
report when the budget com
mittee presented its report.
The resulting floor scrap
centered on whether the body
would allow the University
the $3.2 million tax increase
which then Gov. Victor An
derson recommended, or to
appropriated a hike of $2.2
million proposed by the bud
get committee.
The lawmakers voted to
add $1 million to the commit
tee recommendatioos, giving
the University the hike An
derson had suggested, a fig
ue that was still below what
the school had asked.

Morrison Proclaims
Football Spirit Week
Governor Frank B. Morrison has proclaimed this week
as Nebraska Football Spirit Week, in conjunction with
Homecoming activities.
Morrison urged unied support of the Husker team, and
praised its past performance.
"Nebraska is proud of the accomplishment of the Uni
versity of Nebraska football team in past performances,"
declared Morrison. "This team represents the unconquer
able spirit of Nebraska, and deserves the support of every
Nebraskan."
University students will have a chance to participate
in Spirit Week at the rally and bonfire Thursday evening.
According to Steph Tinan, Homecoming rally chairman, a
parade will begin at 6:45 from the south side of the Union.
Homecoming queen finalists will ride in the parade in
convertibles, followed by supporters from various living
units.
The parade will proceed down 16th street to the park
ing lot at 16th and Vine Streets. Susie Kunc, Cornhusker
Golden Girl, will light the bonfire with her fire batons and
then do a baton routine.
Homecoming finalists will be introduced with team es
corts, at this time. Bob Zenner, KLIN sports announcer,
will speak.
The spirit trophy will again be awarded to the living
unit which exhibits the most Husker spirit. Groups will gain
points for signs at the rally and on the houses.
Mass groups of Tassels and Corn Cobs have visited all
living units this week announcing the rally tonight.
Orme presented a minority
budget report in the 1959 ses
sion, her first year in office.
The University has never
received all the funds it asked
from the Legislature. The
school is the largest single
user of the state general tax
fund, but not the largest
spender, according to Dick
Herman, the Lincoln Journal
statehouse reporter.
The largest state spender is
the Department of Roads,
which receives its funds from
areas other than the property
tax money that goes, to the
general fund.

said.
Since the 1953 legislative
session, the lawmakers have
added funds to the governor's
recommendation once, and
pruned the recommendations
during all three of Gov. Mor
rison's terms. The Legisla
ture went along with the execu
tive, requests in Anderson's
low terms and during the late
Gov. Ralph Brook's adminis
tration in 1959.
Morrison has "publicly
made no great effort to fight
for" the University's budget
requests, Herman said.
