UN '68-'69 fiscal budge as ' i According to Vice-Chancel-,,lor Joseph Soshnik, the Uni versity of Nebraska's opera ting budget for fiscal 1968-1969 Will be "significantly higher" than the 1967-68 budget. "The budget study is just beginning," said Soshnik. Fac ulty membtrs in the sepa rate departments will prepare the actual figures, he said. These figures will be re viewed by the deans, who will then m a k e. specific recom mendations for their colleges. The figures will then be fpnsidered by administrative officials. After necessary al terations, the proposed budget Will be sent to the Board of - Regents, probably in early April. Unicameral approval must then be secured. Proceeds from tuition "We must take into account our proposed expenditures in relation to our probable in come," Soshnik said. Pro ceeds from student tuition greatly affects income. ' Enrollment will increase next year, but will still fall short of previous expec tations," said Soshnik. The exact increase cannot be es timated until second semes ter enrollment statistics are compiled. While Soshnik would not in dicate an actual figure for the '68-'69 fiscal budget he de clared, "It will definitely be on a higher level than this year's budget." Any budget increase for the Lincoln cam-' pus is "above and beyond" any prospective increase due to the merging Omaha cam pus, said Soshnik. Federal funds denied Federal matching funds to taling $216,500 earmarked for the remodeling of Nebraska Hall and Andrews Hall are not forthcoming, however. Soshnik said that the Nebras ka and Andrews Hall projects will proceed as planned. Pre liminary work will be accom plished using funds already procured. The University will renew its applicaton next year for the federal funds. If federal funds are still denied, the re modeling projects would be completed by using university funds presently earmarked for other future projects. Meredith Willson . . .

IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER. by Jan Parks Senior Staff Writer Greater flexibility and pro visions for increased member participation are prime ele ments of the revised AWS Constitution, Nancy Coufal Hungerford told the AWS Board Tuesday. Mrs. Hungerford, chairman of the AWS Constitutional Con vention, moved that the Con stitution be approved at the next board meeting Wednes day prior to the AWS ratifi cation election in February. The Constitutional Conven tion, composed of delegates elected by individual women's living units, has been revis ing the old AWS Constitution since the first of October. Nesha Neumeister, assistant chairman of the Constitution' al Convention, explained that the original AWS Constitution was "probably drawn up sometime before 1950. Since then many amendments have been made by the AWS Board, she said. "The revised AWS Constitu tion is not a new Constitu tion," Mrs. Hungerford noted, because it does follow the basic format of the present AWS Constitution. "As I understand it, a new Constitution cannot be written unless a new organization Is formed," she said. The chairman stipulated, however, that the revised Con stitution is not merely a list of amendments, but an over all revision to update and simplify the AWS Constitution. Board members were in structed to read the Constitu tion carefully before the next meeting. "All of the ideas for, the revised Constitution are in this copy of the Constitution."; Miss Neumeister said, "the only changes we will make before the next meeting will be minor changes of gram mar, clarity and legal word ing." "One of our main objec tives in revising the AWSt Con stitution has been to make the document understandable to the average coed." ExDlainine the schedule for ratification of the revised Con stitution, Miss Neumeister said that the delegates had decided to hold elections iu- the living units. "Since there nr sn manv maior changes we felt that more informed vot- ing could occur within the liv ing units." Each dorm will have an election, and probably two, three, or four sororities will meet at one house to vote, Mrs. Hungerford said. Three dates Feb. 19, 20, and 21 have been chosen for the ratification election, the chairman explained, so that each voting group may select their voting date according to their convenience. "AWS representatives and Constitutional Convention del egates will be responsible for distributing copies of the Con stitutron to the living units by Feb. 16 to introduce AWS mmebers to the content of the new Constitution," Mrs. Hun gerford said. In other business, the Board heard a report by the chair man of the AWS Coed Follies ticket committee. On Campus By the author of "Rally Round the Flag, Boy!", "Dobie Giais," ete.) 1968: ITS CAUSE AND CURE A re you still writing "1967" on your papers and letters T m bet you are, you scamp ! But I am not one to be harsh with those who f orjrot we are in a new year, for I myself have Ions: been guilty of the same lapse. In fact, in my senior year at college, I wrote 1878 on my papers imtfl nearly November of 1874! (It turned out, incidentally, not to be such a serious error because, as we all know, 1874 was later repealed by President Chester A. Arthur in a fit of pique over the Black Tom Explosion. And, as we all know, Mr. Arthur later came to regret his hasty action. Who does not recall that famous meeting" between Mz. Arthur and Louis Napoleon when Mr. Arthur said, "Loo, I wish I hadn't of repealed 1874." Whereupon the French emperor made his immortal rejoinder, "Tipi que s at tyier tu". Well sir, they had many a good laugh about that, as you can imagine.) But I digress. How can we remember to write 1968 oa our papers and letters? Well sir, the best way is to find something memorable about 1968, something unique to fix it firmly in your mind. Happily, this is very simple be cause, as we all know, 1968 is the first year in history that is divisible by 2, by 5, and by 7. Take a pencil and try its 1968 divided by 2 is 984; 1968 divided by 5 is 393; 1968 divided by 7 is 281. This mathematical curiosity will not occur again until the year 2079, but we will all be so busy t then celebrating the Chester A. Arthur bi-cenlenaraty; that we will scarcely have time to be writing papemaotf ; letters and like that Another clever little trick to fix the year 1968 In yoor Kind is to remember that 1968 spell Rd backwards is 8691. "Year" spelled backwards is "raeyf 'Tersonna" spelled backwards is "Annosrep? I mention Personna because I am paid to write this column by the makers of Personna Super Stainless Steel Blxdes, and they are inclined t withbold nay check if 1 omit to mention their product Not, mind you, that it is any chore for me to sing Urn praises of Personna, for it is a seemly blade that shaves you cleanly, a gleaming blade that leaves you beaming, a trouble-free blade that leaves you stubble-free, a match less blade that leaves you scratchless. If you are tired of facial slump, if you are fed up with jowl blight, try Personna today... available both in double-edge style and Injector style. And if I seem a bit excessive in my admira tion for Personna, I ask you to remember that to ma Personna is more than a razor blade ; it is also an employer. But I digress. We were speaking of the memorable as pects of 1968 and high among them, of course, is thq fact that in 1968 the entire Houbc of Representatives stands for election. There will, no doubt, be many lively and inter esting contests, but none, I'll wager, quite so lively and interesting as the one in my own district where the lead ing candidate is none other than Chester A. Arthur J Mr. Arthur, incidentally, is not the first ex-president to come out of retirement and run for the House of Repre sentatives. John Quincy Adams was the first Mr. Adams also holds another distinction : he was the first son of a president ever to serve as president. It is true that Martin Van Buren's son, Walter "Blinky" Van Buren, was at one time offend the nomination for the presidency, but he, alas, had already accepted a bid to become Mad Ludwig of Bavaria. James K. Polk's son, on the other hand, be came Salmon P. Chase. Millard Fillmore's son went into aluminum aiding.
