No other celebration can stand up to
Architecture College's Hinsdale Day
Bv Marv Jo Pit1
It's not the biggest event on campus and really nothing
to wet your pants over, but, today marks the Architecture
College's annual salute to Hinsdale Day, a special event
commemorating two urinals in the ground floor bathroom
of Architecture Hall.
The two, full-length Hinsdale urinals are the only
Hinsdale models left on campus, according to Scott
Beman, an architecture graduate student involved in
Hinsdale celebration plans.
"They're the last working models west of the Mississ
ippi, we like to tell ," Beman said.
UNL architecture students have brought back docu
mented evidence of similar Hinsdale models on the East
Coast, but no such proof exists for the country, west of
the Mississippi.
"We're not going to make a house-to-house search,"
Beman said.
Revive tradition
Although the celebration is to honor the antique bath
room fixtures, Beman said the real purpose of Hinsdale
Day is to revive the tradition of Architecture Hall and the
Architecture College.
Traditionally observed Nov. 1, the Hinsdale's 67th
anniversary is being celebrated today because most
architecture students have classes in the building on
Monday, thus more will be present for the festivities,
Beman said.
A reception including free refreshments, a slide show
and faculty award presentations will be at 12:35 p.m.
Local banks have
success collecting
on
By Rex Henderson
Lincoln banks restrict loans under the National
Student Loan Program to established customers, accord
ing to spokesmen for three Lincoln banks.
Because of this policy Lincoln banks have been more
successful in collecting 6n student loans than many banks
across the nation, the spokesmen said.
The Federal govenment guarantees the loans under the
National Student program. Nationally the default rate is
17 percent; rrssx- -arT?" '
Lincoln's National Bank of Commerce currently has
about 800 loans outstanding and about 1Q in default,
according to an NBC spokesman. t '
NBC, Gateway Bank and Corrlhusker Banks officials
said they restrict the loans to established customers who
are at least college juniors.
Mike Fosdick, a Gateway bank vice president, said the
loans "help students who will stay in the community and
become bank customers after graduation."
The Department of Health, Education and Welfare
(HEW), which administers the National Student Loan
Program, has begun an effort to collect from the default
ers. U.S. Attorney Daniel Wherry said his office has started
collecting the names of Nebraska loan defaulters but has
not yet filed any civil suits to recover the money.
When a student defaults, the bank recovers the princi
pal of the loan from the federal government, but the bank
still loses money, bank spokesmen said.
Mastera said he blamed the "federal bureaucracy" for
bank policies which restrict loans to established cus
tomers. It takes up to a year for HEW to "cough up the mon
ey'after a default, he said. During that time, banks lose
money which could be extended for other loans, Mastera
added.
in the Architecture College Gallery. A 21 -flush salute
may be part of the activities, according to Barry Ward, a
senior architecture student in charge of Hinsdale celebra--tions.
Beman explained that since Hinsdale Day is a tradition
jmiqueto the Architecture College, it helps give the
college an identity. With a mushrooming enrollment, the
college is losing a lot of the community spirit that held
students together, he said. .
By centering the 1977 Hinsdale celebration around
the theme of "tradition" and giving faculty members and
students the chance to meet in an informal setting, the
ties within the college can hopefully be strengthened,
Beman said.
Take pride
He admitted that there is more fiction than fact
surrounding Hinsdale Day, but architecture students take
pride in the event because of its uniqueness.
That pride extends to the custodial staff as well,
Beman said,
"How many other custodians do you know who polish
the brass bars and brass drains in the bathroom" Beman
asked. The entire bathroom was recently repainted and
cleaned, and should be in sparkling condition for the tours
Monday, he said.
According to a Hinsdale file in the Architecture Coll
ege, the urinals were made by a university faculty mem
ber. The Hinsdale used to be the undisputed bathroom
-fixture on campus, but was gradually replaced by-newer
technology.
The event is open to all students and faculty members.

Hedges discusses budget changes
procedure with UNL college deans
By Gail Stork
Tuesday's college deans' meeting will set up the, pro
cedures for making a decision on reducing the UNL
budget minus, but will not produce the decision itself,
said Larry Andrews, assistant vice chancellor for academic
affairs. '
The minus, equal to the difference between the bud
geted expenditures and budgeted income, has grown ex
cessively large in the. past five years, Ned Hedges, acting
vice chancellor for academic affairs, has said.
Savings to cover the minus normally are made through
what Hedges called "acts of God," but recently "extra
ordinary action" has been necessary to balance the
budget.
Andrews said Hedges will discuss the necessary budget
changes with the deans to "see what their best collective
wisdom will be on that situation," The meeting is sched
uled for 7:30 a.m. at the Nebraska Center for Continuing
Education, 33rd and Holdredge Sts.
The Faculty Senate's resolution concerning a suggested
cut in the budget of each college probably will be
discussed, but which elements those cutsshould be based
on will be the deans' main concern, "Andrews said.
Missing step

credit hours per faculty member or another ratio in
cutting back each college is the missing step between
where the budget is now and actual dollar assessments,
Andrews said. :
Andrews said he does not know who would make the
final decision on dollar amounts for each college. The
academic affairs staff or an appointed committee are pos
sibilities, but that question should be answered at Tues
day's meeting, he said.
The deans are familiar with the budget problem and
have discussed it with Hedges individually and at the past
several deans' meetings, he said.
However, Andrews said out of nine deans, there are
nine different responses to the possible cut in the colleges'
budgets.
"No one looks forward to agreeing not to spend a cer
tain amount of money," he said.
1 Understand need
Each dean has places in his college he would like to see
the money go, but all the deans understand the need to
reduce the minus, Andrews said,
Hedges already has received the Faculty Senate's reso
lution on the budget and after the deans' recommenda
tions on Tuesday, will confer with the chancellor, vice
chancellor and persons in charge of fiscal affairs on
campus, Andrews said.
Hedges is giving a lot of different communities on
campus an opportunity to speak their mind on the budget
reduction," Andrews said.
It is a more time-consuming methods of making a
decision, but people will feel better about theYinal out
come when they know they had some input, Andrews
said. t
Andrews said ideally the budget will be corrected by
the end of November, but admitted it would be difficult
with a Nov. 1 starting date.
