For some students, letter-writing to state senators has become boring
past time. There are many students, on both the City and the East campuses,
who have written numerous letters on behalf of the university budget.
These students have performed valuable service to th community, even
if they weren't -able to secure everything that the university requested in its
budget recommendations.
And now with the talk that some state senators may soon introduce a full
funding plan for the addition to Love Library, letters again may be needed.
You may remember that two years ago the legislature appropriated $6.5
million for the library only to have the legislation declared illegal by the
Nebraska Supreme Court. Today it appears that there may be a chance for
the LiVaryBill-LB1027,
So if you have a minute, and if youe not too bored with letter-writing, it
may be helpful to the University if you again wrote your state scnatOT asking
him for a positive vote on the Library Bill.
Many students seem to be interested in the efforts of the Human Relations
Insight League HR1L) in their battle against the Elks Club.
Currently the league is trying to raise money to support a legal battle in
which the HRIL is try ing to have the liquor license of the Elks revoked on the
grounds that a club with racist policies should not have such a license.
Anyway, if you are interested or think you may be interested in becoming
involved with the H.R.I.L., there will be an open, unconventional meeting
tomcrrow night in the Sheldon Sculpture Garden. The meeting will include
speakers and music.
The speakers should be especially interesting. Haze Pope of the Special
Service Programs will be speaking on how University expansion has effected
the Malone area. And former football standout Randy Reeves will be
speaking about the University's responsibilities recruiting minority students.
The event will be in the Union in case of rain.

experience budget cuts
(CPS)-Severe budget cuts are facing many
colleges and universities throughout the
country. The results of these budget cuts
include increased tuition or instatement of
tuition, salary and faculty cuts, loss of student
aid money, and the curtailing or suspension of
many services to students.
Budget strictures are not limited to large
colleges or colleges that have troubled
campuses. Both state universities in Montana
face enrollment limitations. According to
President Robert Pantzer, the university
operations budget will be cut by 1 0 per cent for
the coming yeaT. Pantzer -explained that some
University courses might be taught every other
year and that there are no plans for hiring
additional instructors.
California, Ohio, Massachusetts, and
Pennsylvania universities are facing tuition
increases in light of inadequate state funding.
in Massachusetts, two bills are before the
state legislature. One would increase tuition to
$600 per student and the other calls for
students to pay at least 40 per cent of the
actual cost of their education.
In Oklahoma the state colleges and
universities did not suffer budget cuts, but are
suffering from insufficient funding from their
state legislature. According to Paul Reed,
president of the Higher Education Alumni
Council of Oklahoma, budgets of our colleges
and universities are already several years behind
needs."
Results of the budget cuts will include
tuition for day sessions students, Teduce credit
loads, eliminate summer and evening sessions,
and freezing additional faculty appointments.
In all, over 1 500 colleges and universities are
in financial difficulty. Trends seem to indicate
that state legislatures will Temain close-fisted.
The only bright lights of hope on the
horizon are two new methods of budgeting
universities in order to get more for the elusive
state dollar.
Planning, Programming and Budgeting
Systems (PPBS) and the studenKredit hour
formula budget seem to be the only way foT
colleges to keep track of their remaining
money.
The PPBS system studies combinations of
means to give the best education for the least
amount of money. It is a ratio of product and
effect to cost.
The student-credit hour formula budget is
based upon an equation using the total number
of credit hours produced by each college.
Money is then allocated on a ratio of students
to teacher hours.

What is the national security?
WASHINGTON-During the Ramsey Clark era at the
Justice Department, the FBI regularly asked Clark -and his
deputy, Warren M. Christopher-for permission to eavesdrop
on a great many citizens and organizations. The bureau
wanted to place Jerry Rubin under electronic
surveillance-and SNCC-and SDS-- and Eldrige Cleaver,
Stokely Carmichael, the Southern Christian Leadership
Conference and many others.
This piece of history is important because it helps to
explain the current phobia in this city about wiretapping
and bugging. Majority Leader Hale Boggs may be wrong
when he said the FBI is tapping his telephone. He failed to
prove the charge. But it says something important about
the state of the nation in 1971 when the majority leader of
the House of Representatives thinks that the national police
are listening in on his telephone conversations.
BOGGS IS NOT ALONE . A lot of congressmen and
senators think they are being bugged or tapped by the FBI,
and that says even more about the state of the nation.
-The reason they think they are being bugged or tapped
goes back to those requests made by the FBI to Ramsey
Clark.
Clark turned them down He did so, not because
eavesdropping was personally Tepugnant to him, which it
was, but because he did not believe he had the authority.
Clark's successor, Atty. Gen. John Mitchell has made it
clear that he thinks he does have the authority. That is why
congressmen, senators, reporters and a great many private
citizens who take an active interest in public affairs are
cautious these days about their telephones-and even about
what is said in their own living rooms.
The authority Clark thought he didn't have-and which
John Mitchell says he does have-rests on the interpretation
of a letter written by Franklin D. Roosevelt.
In this letter, addressed to then Atty. Gen. Nicholas
Biddle, F. D. R. expressed his abhorrence of eavesdropping
and added the admonition that Biddle should authorize it
only in cases in vol vine "the national security."
THE DIFFERENCE then, between Clark and Mitchell
rests on the definition of the phrase "the national
security." Clark thought-and Roosevelt's wartime order
tends to support him-that "the national security" meant
threats against the United States by foreign powers.
He therefore continued to conduct wiretaps on foreign
embassies or agents of foreign powers. But to Clark, the
notion that a political group within this country, whether
Yippie oriented or civil rights oriented represented a threat
to the national security was laughable.
Not so, Mitchell. Nobody in Washington is making any
bets that demonstrators, whether antiwar or black
militants, are not under electronic surveillance by Mitchell's
order. Congressmen and senators believe that when they
talk to representatives of these groups, their remarks, too,
are being stowed away in FBI files.
WHICH RAISES THE QUESTION "How does John
Mitchell define "the national security?" Under Roosevelt's
administrative order, an attorney general might bug
anybody he liked and argue that he was protecting 'the
national security."
In a recent California court decision. Judge Warren
Ferguson discussed the meaning of the and ruled that the
FBI could not on the sole basis of "the national security"
use evidence gained electronically in a domestic matter. In
order to protect our political freedoms," he said, "our
torelathers agreed to take certain risks. It will
surprising if the Supreme Court does not uphold him.
