Soshnik indicates higher!
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.

Musical Arts in New York.
Three years later he con

ip Sousa and his band.
He later performed with fhe
New York Philharmonic Or

employed by NBC as director
of the Western Division. He
has served as conductor for
the Seattle Symphony, the San
Francisco Symphony and the
Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Willson extended his activi
ties in the field of entertain
ment when he initiated sever
al new trends on radio pro
gramming and commercial
format, according to W. Col
ston Leigh, Inc., who recently
released a character sketch of
the performer.
Composer and author
As a composer, Willson was
the first to have two songs on

eligible
for testing
Seniors in Teachers College

cf te&chcr placement at the
University says that many
school systems are requiring
teacher candidates to take the
NTE.
Stephen Hilliard, assistant
professor of English, will
sponsor the honorary, she
said.
As the only national orga
nization for English at the
University, "it seeks to pro
mote the mastery of written
expression, encourage worth
while reading, and foster a
spirit of fellowship" among
men and women profession
ally engaged in the study or
teaching of English.
Suggested criteria for mem
bership, said Miss Neumeis
ter, are 18 hours of English,
a 3.5 major average, and a
3.0 cumulative grade point
average. This will be decided
at an organizational meeting
within the next two weeks she
added.
Some advantages to members-hip,
said Miss Neu
meister, would be an atmos

and the possibility of the
group sponsoring seminar
speakers.

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.

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. This later became known as the Mia
soeri Compromise.
