Sandhills history is only one of Hutchinson's areas of
speciality.
Hutchinson seems to be good at whatever he does, just
because he enjoys what he is doing. The smile beneath his
beard never seems to leave, nor does the friendliness of his
voice.
He has been a campus minister since 1961 which is
quite a long time for someone in his position, he admitted.
He said he "thoroughly enjoys" working with college
students. He explained that there is still the thrill of
learning without the discipline problems of high school.
Campus tours
Besides specializing in stories and ministry, he also
loves astronomy and intends to take a group of
his students to watch a meteor shower.
Campus tours are another of his specialities.
On his tours, he includes such things as the place where
Nixon was snowballed and the Schiller oak, which was
planted in memory of the poet and was decorated with
anti-German sentiments during World War I, he said.
The story of Hutchinson's life is as interesting as the
stories he tells.
He said he was kicked out of school when he was 16
because someone found a "really bad story" about the
English teacher. Hutchinson said because he was always
writing stories, everyone thought it was he.
After that, he said he started hitchhiking through the
country and ended up in Arkansas. While he was there
he attended the School of the Ozarks, which was for peo
ple who had to make their own way through school.
He said he also went to school in Kentucky at the
UNL's costs on
reflects nation's
The increase in college costs at UNL re
flects a trend in colleges across the nation.
A new study by the National Associa
tion of State Universities and Land-Grant
Colleges reports that the median total tab
for tuition, fees, room and board charges
for students at major U.S. public universi
ties rose 7.8 percent for 1978-79 over the
preceding year.
UNL's increase in tuition, fees, and
room and board was slightly less than the
national median, at 5.5 percent.
The increase is one percent above the
6.8 percent change in the average
Consumer Price Index from July 1, 1977
to July 1, 1978, according to calculations
by the National Institute of Education in
Washington.
The median charges for a state resident
attending state and land-grant universities
this year is $2,221, compared to $2,061
for 1977-78.
Inflation and quality
For tuition and fees, state residents pay
a median of 2.6 percent more than last
year, which contrasts favorably with the
9.5 percent median increase in room and
board.
UNL, on the other hand, had a 5.5 per
cent increase in both tuition and fees, and
room and board.
Two primary reasons were cited for the
increases in student charges in the national
survey; inflation, listed by more than half
of the respondents, and the necessity to
maintain program quality, listed by more
than one-third of the reporting group.
Other reasons for the increase were the
need to raise faculty and staff salaries, the
absence of alternative sources of revenue
and inadequate state appropriations.
According to a recent Daily Nebraskan
article, inflation and increases in faculty
Berea Bible School.
While in Kentucky, he said he and a friend started a
church. Hutchinson said they cleaned out an old
building that had been used for bootlegging and that was
their church.
He said for security they bought a padlock and made it
the responsibility of the biggest guy they knew to make
sure it wasn't vandalized.
'Real' explorer
Looking back, he said, it was a good experience
because he became acquainted with a side of life he did
not know existed. He said he slept in jails, on the road,
in boweries, and learned about people.
On one of his exploring trips, he met a real explorer
who had traveled to Antarctica with Admiral Byrd.
Hutchinson explained that Admiral Byrd was then his
hero and he was delighted when he met this man on a
streetcar in New York City. The man took a liking to him,
he said, and bought him supper that night.
He said that man fed him more than food. Hutchinson
said the explorer told him he should not be traveling
around the country because all the roads he was taking
were leading no where.
It was that man, Hutchinson admitted, that convinced
him he should return to school and make something of his
life.
He said he has often thought that he should know the
name of that person, because he would certainly like to
thank him. He said he thinks maybe that experience is
one reason why he wants to help students as much as he
can.

Regional comparison
In a regional comparison of median tui
tion and fees, NASULGC member institu
tions in New England were shown to have
the highest student charges, followed by
members in the Middle Atlantic, the
Middle West, the Southeast and the West.
Institutions in the Middle West com
pared closely with UNL for resident tui
tion and fees while non-resident tuition
and fees were about 6.5 percent greater
than UNL's.
The median increase in tuition and fees
for resident graduate students at state and
land-grant universities was 2.6 percent over
1977-78. Only resident dental students are
paying less of a percentage increase for
graduates and undergraduates.
Of the universities which changed tui
tion and fees, the median of the difference
over last year was $13.50 for residents and
$21.50 for non-residents.
