Twelve million dollars of the proposed increase would be used to support adminis trative and other activites in volved in teaching, and hous ing 17,000 students. A second area pinpointed for improvements under the new budget is faculty salaries. Need Stressed Hardin has repeatedly stressed the University's need to keep up with a highly com petitive national market for faculty. Under the proposed 1967-69 biennium budget, teaching salaries would climb 30 percent in the two-year period. The plan is for a catch-up, keep-up program of faculty salaries that will allow the University to catch up to the faculty salary level of univer sities of comparable scope, and to keep up to this level by boosting salaries at a faster-than-normal rate. The plan calls for an aver age salary of about $13,000 Monday, October 17, 1966 egents The University has sub mitted a $24.1 million capital construction budget request to the state that provides for remodeling, renovation and 'Students Should Have Right To Choose Own Speakers' Grievances concerning the selection of University speak ers, housing regulations, au tomatic membership in cer tain University organizations and unclarified rules were discussed at the ASUN Stu dent Conduct committee's opening hearing Sunday. 'The purpose of the hearing was to discuss the area of stu dent conduct and the griev ances which would warrant changes in student regula tions, Dick Schultz, Student Conduct committee chairman said. The small group of students present agreed that students should have the freedom to hear speakers on topics of their own choice. Steve Abbott said the ad ministration permits only speakers "who are in line with total education. Controversial speakers, who In the opinion of the admin istration would not be "ad vantageous for University public relations" are not un usually vetoed, but simply are not approved, Liz Aitken de clared. The students also ques tioned the University's right to determine where students are to live. Al Spangler suggested that the Bill of Rights include an organ or channel by which a student could have a recourse when the University doesn't THE KINC.SMKN . . . plus the University Coliseum equaled a crowd Friday night as more than 4,000 people braved the wind and the rain to fill the building. per year for faculty, in con trast to the present average of just under $10,000. Salary Lag Lagging faculty salaries were cited last year by for mer vice chancellor for facul ty Adam Breckenridge as the chief reason faculty leave the school. Eighty-four faculty members resigned their positions in the past year. The higher faculty salaries proposed will be aimed at get ting and k e e p i n g top per sonnel, while the budget also allows for the addition of 349 full-time equivalent faculty members over the two-year span to ease overloads on teachers. Workload Reduction In the teaching area, the proposed budget also provides for the reduction of faculty . workloads. Last year's rate of some 521 student credit hours per full time equivalent faculty would be lowered to about 485 credit hours. The budget plan addition ally provides for a "major re development of the extension and research programs in the App construction of buildings on all three campuses. The budget request, which was approved by the Board of Regents Saturday, is de signed to cover construction fulfill its obligations. He cited late payments of student loans or scholarships as examples. The group questioned the legality of students being au tomatic members of AWS and ASUN whether or not t h e y wished to be a part of the or ganizations. In the opinion of several students present, University rules and regulations are not clarified. Al Spangler said that there are also rules which have no meaning and are not enforced. He used a Nebraska Union Kappa Delta's Alumna To Address Panhellenic "Pledges today: Members tomorrow" will be the theme for the University of Ne braska Panhellenic Work shop to be held Oct. 16-19. Miss Minnie Mae Prcs cott, the Executive Secre tary of Kappa Delta, will be the guest speaker at Panhellenic Night Monday at 7 p.m. in the Nebraska Union Ballroom. The top scholar from each sorority will be honored at this time.

Some $3.7 million of the in crease would go to this pro gram. The development of an en gineering research center in the College of Engineering and Architecture, and increas ed capacity and staffing of the University's com puter center are other areas designated for increased funds. Two million of the increase would go for these programs. John Davis, dean of the Col lege of Engineering and Ar chitecture, stated that Ne braskas' almost total lack of support for engineering re search is seriously threaten ing the quality of the under graduate program In en gineering. An engineering program without research is certain to affect the teaching program, he said.

Gene Porkorny stressed that it is "not advantageous to set up the administration as the enemy. The students are their own enemy if they don't have the courage to stand up for their rights." Dick Schulze added that students must not forget that they also have a responsibili ty to the University and must prove they are capable of governing themselves. each house will serve as hostess for Panhellenic Training School.

The increased funds, $1.3 million, would also provide for additional book purchases. Another large chunk, $6.3 million, of the budget propos al is destined for strengthen ing of the College of Medicine in Omaha. The medical school budget provides mainly for needed additional faculty and sup tal improvments on a six year basis and to revise the plans each two years. The capital construction budget request is presented to the s t a t e's Administrative Services Department separate ly from the University's oper ating budget request for the biennium, which was $98.6 million this year. Funds for construction come from a different tax source than do operating budget funds. The Regents believe that with the requested $24,145, 000 in tax funds from the state the University can ob tain an additional $8,527,500 in matching funds for construc tion from other sources, main ly the federal government. Vice Chancellor Joseph Soshnik likened the capital construction budget to an individual's- "house" while he said the University's operat ing budget is comparable to the "groceries." Each biennium, Soshnik ex plained, the University makes construction budget projec tions for the coming six years and each biennium the pro jections may change because of new needs or because of rising cost of construction. Rising Costs University 'officals said the request for state support for construction this biennium ex ceeds the figure projected in Cancer Research Fund Established A memorial fund for leuke mia research has been estab lished at the Eppley Cancer Institute in honor of the late Isidor Sherman.

The University's growth has exceeded expectations in 1965 and construction priorities of some projects have been shifted so these projects could qualify for added outside grants, the regents said.
