reckenridgeio wear one hat
Dy George F.IZ!cr
When Roy Young becomes UNL Chancellor on June
1, it also w21 mean that Adam Breckenridge, UNL
interim chancellor since Oct. 1 gives up one of two hats
he has been wearing.
In the seven months that Breckenridge has been as
chancellor he also has served as vice-chancellor for
academic affairs, the job he held when he was picked
to replace James Zumberge who left Lincoln Oct. 1 to
become president of Southern Methodist University in
Dallas. ' '
Breckenridge said he thought his biggest accomplish
ment while interim chancellor was "achieving better
liaison with various campus groups' which includes
students, other Nebraskans and interest groups,
through lunches, meetings with groups and civic clubs
and telephone conversations.
Through all of this, Breckenridge said, he gained a
better understanding of the interests and problems of
the university staff and students than he otherwise
would have.
Ouifock the same
However, he said, he doubted that his outlook or
attitudes toward the university have changed much,
mostly fcecause he has been a staff member for 30
years.
His greatest disappointment, Breckenridge said, was
that he had "hoped to get better acquainted with the
department chairmen and learn more about their
activities."
He said he found he did not have the time to do all
that he wanted, sometimes wishing that "there were
two more days in a week."
Breckenridge said he thought Zumberge's replace
ment would have been found sooner,but said he never
m4A him in take office until Mav or June since "it
takes time for a person to pull up stakes and move to
another city. . s
Besides also serving as vice chancellor for academic
affairs, Breckenridge said he also served as chairman of
the Central Planning Commission, which makes
recommendations for new buildings and remodeling,
the Academic Planning Committee and the Teachers
Council, which concerns itself with improvements in
teaching techniques. .
With additional tasks, Breckenridge said the
chancellor's job is a "difficult one, but not an impos
sible one. - ' .
"You need degrees of- fortitude and you don't
always do the popular thing, he said. "You have to
make chokes.
"If you wait until you know you are right (to make
a decision), youH accomplish nothing," he said.
Breckenridge said he does not think there will be an
"erosion of jurisdiction fronf the individual NU
campuses to the University Systems Office.
Since the Nebraska Legislature created the current
NU system with three campus and one central office,
there was bound to be resentment on the part of the
campuses toward the central office, which tries to
coordinate the campuses, he said.
After June 1, Breckenridge said, he w2I work with
Young to acquaint him with UNL. He said he was
"delighted' with Young, even though he has met him
only a few times.
Young is "sensitive to the interests and needs of the
university," he said, adding that Oregon State Univer
sity, where Young currently is vice-president for re
search and graduate studies, has many programs similar
toUNL's.

At the April 17 NU Board of Regents meeting, Presi
dent D. B. Varner said he would recommend a 10 per cent
tuition increase for next year. -
And several other Big 8 Conference schools also may
be increasing their tuition and fee rates.
Of the Big 8 schools, the University of Colorado (CU)
had the highest resident and nonresident total tuition and
fees for 1975-76 academic year. The University of
Oklahoma (OU) has the lowest tuition and fees total in
both categories, while NU had the second highest resident
total and the third highest nonresident total.

.Six pjn. Friday is the deadline for voter registration
for the May 11 Nebraska primary election. American citi
zens 18 years and older must register in their home town,
but there are no residence requirements, according to a
spokesman at the Lancaster County Election Commission.
Two voter registration locations in Lincoln, open 8
ajn. to 6 pjn. Friday are the Gateway auditorium and the
Lancaster County. Election Commissioner's Office, lower
level County-City Bldg. 555 S. 10th St.
The May 11 balloting will determine delegates to the
national party conventions, and narrow the number of
candidates for the NU Board of Regents, president, Lan
caster County commissioner, UiL senators and a repre
sentative from the first Congressional district. Three
charter amendments also will be decided.
UNL Young Democrats and Young Republicans
chapters are not conducting organized voter registration
drives, but the presidents of both groups said they are
urging members to vote.
Kent FElman, Young Republicans president, said his
organization has polled its members to determine their
voting trends and results have been sent to candidates.
Fillman, junior business major from York, said Presi
dent Ford and John McCollister Committee members are
encouraging registration on campus.
Sue Fox, sophomore agronomy major from Lincoln
and acting president of Young Democrats, said campus
registration was started in January during Walpurgisnacht,
but no drive now is being conducted.
The figures were" provided by Jim Knisely, UNL
assistant comptroller. He said the Big 8 business officers
meet once a year to discuss common problems and to
exchange data, including tuition and fee rates. The figures
are the totals for one student for a two-semester academic
year averaging 30 hours.
A tuition increase at CU is "very likely," according to
William Douglas, dean of admissions and records. He said
the Colorado Legislature still is preparing a bill that in
cludes the CU appropriation. The size of the appropria
tion wSl determine how much tuition rates would in
crease, he added. -
Cut ia special fees
However, CU students special fees probably will
decrease slightly next year, said Marge Koenig, who is in
charge of assessing CU tuition and fees. She said the fees
are not intended to gross more money than is needed for
various activities and groups, and the current fee of
$89.75 a semester was higher than the amount needed.
Next year's fee for each semester probably will be $8925
for both residents and nonresidents, she said.
But at the University of Kansas (KU), special fees will
increase by 90 cents a semester, said William Kelly,
associate dean of admissions and records. For residents
and nonresidents, he said, the "campus privilege" fees will
increase from $83 a semester to $83.90.
Kelly said the major part of the increase is to support a
"satellite' Union to be built on the KU campus. No in
crease in the tuition charge currently is planned, he said.
Kansas State University (KSU) also will raise its special
fees next fall, according to Warren Strauss, an accountant
in the KSU comptroller's office. Increased student health
and recreation fees will increase the fee charged by $13 a
semester or $26 for two semesters, he said, so the $122
two-semester charge for residents and nonresidents will
become $148.
No increase at KSU
Strauss said no tuition increase now is planned for next
fall at KSU. ;
No tuition or fee increase is planned at Iowa State
University (ISU) said Virginia Crow, administrative
assistant to the ISU vice-president for business.
For Oklahoma State University, the State Regents for
Higher Education may approve an increase in tuition
rates, said E. E. Davidson, vice-president for business and
finance.
Davidson said the Oklahoma Legislature has not
decided on the appropriation for the state's higher
education institutions. The state regents asked for a $40
million increase for higher education in Oklahoma, he
said, but the Legislature has indicated the increase
actually may be about $22 million.
If the appropriation is not considered high enough to
meet costs, Davidson said, there probably will be a tuition
increase.
MU maybe
Donald Hoehle, fiscal business officer for the Univer
sity of Missouri-Columbia (MU) said there may be an in
crease in tuition and fees for MU students.
Hoehle said MU system President C. Bryce Ratchford
said in an April 23 letter to the university governing
board, the Board of Curators, that he intended to propose
a $30 a semester increase in resident tuition. An increase
in nonresident tuition may be included also, Hoehle said.
