Contributors giving more despite student strike The ROTC .building occupa- tion and student strike of last May apparently have not af fected donations to t h University. Confirming the optimistic prediction he made earlier this semester, Nebraska Founda tion Vice-president Edward J. Hirsch reported a 30 to 40 per cent increase in donation in come so far this year. He ex plained that contributions from estates are the major reason for this year's higher figure. The Foundation has seven per cent more contributors now than last year. Hirsch thinks this increase in contributors is a good indication of how alumni feel about the University. Alumni are also giving seven to ten per cent more unrestricted money than they did last year. The only slump in donations has occured in the area of restricted funds or money whin the donor designates for specific purposes. Last month it appeared these funds might drop by as much as 50 per cent, but October figures show only an eleven per cent decrease. Hirsch stated that the drop was probably due to "stock market unrest rather than stu dent unrest." Varner comments Continued from page 1 policy, a move which could be very unpopular." The Chancellor also said he feels UN-0 will grow more rapidly than the Lincoln cam puses. He predicted that by the 1980's it will be as large as the Lincoln campuses even though there are no dormitories on the Omaha campus.

If the amendment were passed, it would immediately abolish the Board of Regents. However, it allows for no in terim governing body for the University while the new board is selected. The proposed construction of a new field house for the University drew criticism from the student audience. Varner pointed out that on a recently compiled list of construction priorities the new field house ranked near the bottom of the list behind such buildings as the Love Library addition and a new law college. Varner also called the Centennial College experiment a success. He voiced a desire that it continue and possibly be expanded. KK initiates Okloberfest Games ranging from throw ing darts at Robert Red ford and Raquel Welch to a "rat race" will highlight Kosmet Klub's Oktoberfest Fall Carnival this Friday and Saturday. The carnival is an attempt to present a new approach to fun and entertainment for the whole campus, according to John Miller, Kosmet Klub president. It replaces the traditional Fall Revue. Cancellation of the fall show stemmed from a "definate lack of interest," said Miller. "Most houses did not have the time required for the revue. We are starting the carnival in an at tempt to involve the whole campus, not just the Greeks." Booths will be set up on the grassy mall directly east of the stadium. Tickets will be sold by Kosmet Klub for 25 cents each. Nineteen cents will be returned to the participating organizations for their own use. Kosmet Klub will receive five cents from each ticket to defray expenses and part of any profit made by the club will go to charity, said Miller. The other one cent will go for sales tax. Booths will be varied. The All University Fund booth will feature a ring toss. But, it is not the ordinary ring toss, since rings will be tossed at the legs of three young ladies, Miller said. Other booths will range from a kissing booth, dunking ma chine and gerbil race, to a car and piano bash.
