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."

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.
The Chancellor also said he

Seiiator disputes
strike fund use
ASUN senator Bruce Wim
mer charged Tuesday that
student money was spent il
legally by a number of Univer
sity of Nebraska elements dur
ing last spring's student strike.
Wimmer said he had docu
mentary proof that adminis
tration officials authorized the
use of unallocated student fees
for financing of town hall
meetings during the strike.
The ASUN senator said he
had presented all documents
and information to the Com
mittee for the Undisrupted Ed
ucation (CUE). He announced
he would seek to appear with
CUE at the next Board of Re
gents and answer questions
concerning his charges.
ter the University and other
state colleges.
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.
