Student Reactions Vary
Over Proposed Tuition
By Dan Looker
Junior Staff Writer
Out of 22 students polled
by the Daily Nebraskan, 12
opposed, six were noncom
mital, and four were in fa
vor of the recommended
$95 a year resident and $69
a year non-resident tuition
increase.
Gov. Tiemann Included
the proposed tuition hikes in
his university budget rec
ommendations which were
made public Monday eve
ning. Some of the reasons that
students cited for opposing
the increase included:
The personal financial
hardships it would entail
for some, especially mar
ried students, out of state
students, and students from
lower income families that
have to work to pay for
their education.
The belief that the state
should take the responsi
bility of providing better
education with adequate
tax support.
The fact that upper
classmen will be gone too
soon to enjoy the benefits
they will be paying for.
'Expenses Going Up'
One coed declared, "Na
turally I'm against it. It's
necessary to get more mon
ey some way but I think
it should be done through
taxes. Expenses seem to be
going up to the point where
its difficult for most kids
to pay them."
"I'm not exactly for it,"
another student conceded.
"I'm financing my own
education. I work part time
and my wife works full
time. I'm just glad I've
only got one more year
here."
Amidst Deiiounciations . . .
NSA Supervisory Board
Calls For CIA Severance
Amidst denouncistions
from the "new left" and
the "new right," the Na
tional Supervisory Board of
the National Student Asso
ciation has called for an
immediate and complete
severance of NSA's rela
tionship with the Central
Intelligence Agency.
According to the Collegi
ate Press Service, the 10
member supervisory group
issued a statement last
week saying that the CIA
had placed NSA's officers
and staff members in an
"ethical trap" in past
years.
As the board issued ex
planatory statements, left
and right student organiza
tions united in opposition
to the NSA, following dis
closure last week of a 12
year relationship between
NSA and the CIA.
The Young Americans for
Freedom (YAF), a "new
right" student organization,
expressed "deep shock that
the CIA should secretly at
tempt to influence student
opinion."
For several years, YAF
has led a "Stop NSA" cam
paign, charging that, the
Association's politics
were left-wing and against
the national interest, the
Collegiate Press Service
said.
Paul Potter, a former na
tional affairs vice-president
of NSA and a founder of
Students for a Democratic
Society, charged that "the
pattern of lying is just
built Into the very guts of
the organization."
Potter said a thorough
investigation of the CIA
connection should be con
ducted, and called for an
NSA constitutional conven
tion. NSA National Supervis
ory Board chairman Sam
Brown, a Harvard Divinity
School student, said that
"honorable people acting
out of the best of motives
were faced with an impos
sible choice: to expose the
relationship and thereby
harm themselves and hun
dreds of others or to re
main quiet and thereby be
dishonest to new genera
tions of students."
According to Brown,
NSA officials who were to
be told of the CIA relation
ship were first asked to
sign a national security
agreement. The agreement
provides for jail terms up
to 20 years if classified in
formation, such as the NSA
CIA link, is disclosed.
During the years of t h e
NSA-CIA association, which
began in the early 1950's,
the student group received
"If they pass it I'm go
ing to leave," one student
said. "My folks live in New
Jersey and I can go to a
better school there, a lot
cheaper. The heck with
school spirit and all. It's
fine but this comes out of
my pocket."
"Quite a few out of state
students I know say they
won't come back," another
student added.
One student said "Many
kids won't be able to make
it with this tuition raise.
Education is society's re
sponsibility." One coed pointed out that
"most students work in
summer and many have
trouble finding work. I
think the tuition raise will
be a definite hardship, es
pecially for lho.se students
whp go to summer school."
No Commitment
Some students were not
expressley opposed to a
raise in tuition and a
few gave tacit approval.
Most of the noncommital
students were concerned
about what benefits for tne
student would be incurred
by the increase.
"If they're going to raise
the tuition they should put
the money into getting bet
ter teachers and into schol
arship funds," one student
said. "If they are trying to
limit enrollment it should
be with tougher entrance
requirements, not higher tu
ition. A graduate student from
the University of Illinois
said that the problem didn't
affect him directly but "if
I were paying out-of-state
tuition I wouldn't think it
was worth it."
as much as 80 per cent of
its funds from the intelli
gence agency. Most officers
and staff members of NSA's
International Commission
were aware of the relation
ship, the Collegiate Press
Service said.
Brown said that "at least
15 other foundations and in
dividuals have passed funds
to NSA for the CIA." All

"My basic opinion about
the whole affair," he con
tinued, "is that I feel more
money should be spent on
improving teaching facili
ties than on getting new
professors. Some of the fa
cilities necessary for teach
ing just aren't available
here."
One student declared:
"What do I think of a tui
tion increase? Well, if
they're going to give the
students more, it's fine if
not, I'm against it."
Some students favored a
tuition increase. They sup
ported it primarily because
they thought it was neces
sary to maintain University
educational standards. One
student supported it be
cause he thought it was bet
ter than raising taxes.
Favor Raise
"I'm for it," one student
said. "The University real
ly needs the money and the
tuition is still lower than
most places. I hope they
spend it on faculty im
provements and not just on
just on building more
dorms, though."
One coed said, "I don't
really think it's that great
a change. The University is
growing and it does need
more money."
"I'm all for it," another
student said. "Anyone who
goes to the University and
doesn't have parents who
can afford it can easily get
a loan."
"It's better than raising
taxes," he added. "I think
Tiemann's a heck of a good
man. Something has to be
done about this tax situa

W ould You Believe
Tuition Free School
Though the modern stu
dent may not believe it,
there was a time when the
University was a tuition
free school.
In the very early years
of the University, from its
founding in 1869 till 1892,
the University catalogue
carried a statement that
the University was open to
all qualified students in the
state of Nebraska without
charge for tuition.
In these years the Uni
versity was financed by ap
propriations from the Leg
islature and by grants from
the federal government un
der the Morrill Act.
Each student paid a $5
marticulation fee but, noth
ing else. This included all
students in all subjects, in
cluding the Latin School
where graduates of non
accredited high schools
could prepare for the Uni
versity. The first tuition was
charged in 1892 for music
and art courses. Tuition
was then charged bv t h e
hour until 1948. though
some courses such as lab
courses were more expen
sive than others, the aver
age cost was $1.50 to $2.50
por credit hour.
The average cost to the
student was about $40 per
semester.
This cost had risen to
$60 in 1946. In 1948 the
Board of Regents instituted
package tuition of $60 a se
mester for residents and
Young Democrats To Vote Thursday
On Resolution Supporting Rights Bill
Resolutions dealing with
the proposed tuition in
crease, supporting William
Steen and supporting the
ASUN Student Bill of Rights
will be voted on at a Young
Democrats meeting Thurs
day night.
The resolutions were
brought up on the floor at
Young Democrats (YD's)
meeting last Thursday but
there was seme dissention
within the organization ov
er the resolutions and they
were tabled for one week.
Three ad hoc committees
were formed to investigate
the advisibility of adopting
these resolutions. One reso
lution would oppose a tui
tion increase.
Another would offer pub
lic support and financial
aid to Steen, owner of the
Heroic Bookstore, who
claims that he is being
tried under pornography
laws which are unconstitu
tional. The last resolution
would support the ASUN
Student Bill of Rights.
Bruce Mason, vice-president
of YD's and acting
president, said after the
meeting that "I personally

$140 a semester for non-residents.
The rate of resident tui
tion remained constant till
1957. However non-resident
tuition increased to $140 a
semester in 1950-51.
In 1957 Sen. Terry Car
penter introduced a b i 1 1
which would have doubled
resident tuition. The Legis
lature refused to pass this
but the Board of Regents
was compelled to increase
reside at. tuition $30 a se
mester and non-resident tu
ition $60 a semester.
The rate was further in
creased in 1961 when resi
dents began paying $10?, a
semester for tuition and
non-residents $222 a semes
ter. Even this increase was
less than the budget com
mittee had recommended.
In 1965 Sen. Richard Mar
vel's appropriations com
mittee recommended in
creases in tuition. In fact
the University budget was
introduced with the pre
sumption of a sharp tuition
hike.
Students at the University
held a petition drive pro
testing the increase and
Carpenter (who now fav
ored cutting tuition) offered
to lead a student march on
the Capitol.
The Regents reluctantly
raised resident tuition to
$130 a semester for resi
dents and $393 a semester
for non-residents after
making it clear the Legis
lature had forced them to

support these measures be
cause I believe it is impor

affairs."
The Bill of Rights com
mittee, headed by Leon
Luzio will act as a delega
tion to the ASUN Student
Bill of Rights Convention as
well as investigating the
bill and methods of making
sure it is accepted by the
administration and the
Board of Regents.
One YD member stated
that "as far a calling for
a student strike to get it
accepted goes I feel that
only ASUN has the author
ity to initiate action al
though I imagine that
Young Democrats would
support them."

She said during later
