To visualize the Regent's plans for expansion, Chancellor Hardin examines the NU l.illiput. Regents Employ Engineers To Outline Expansion Draft Anticipating an enrollment of 25,000 by the early 1970's, the University of Nebraska Board of Regents commissioned a New York consulting firm to propose a long-range program of University development. Under the current six-year schedule, the Board made final arrangements for construction of a classroompffice building and a music recital hall. A new gymnasium for women, added chemistry facilities and renovation of existing structures completed the present plan. To avoid complication and duplication in higher educational planning, the Regents met with state col- lege governing boards to discuss standardization of the membership rules for national fraternities and soror- ities on campus to emphasize nondiscrimination.

Morrison Tours Continent To Seek Foreign Markets To Sell Nebraska on the world market, Governor Frank Morrison headed a twelve-man trade mission to Europe. The delegates, representing the agricultural and manufacturing facets of the state, attracted the interest of businessmen in European countries. In addi- tion to gaining foreign publicity, Mr. Morrison spoke to the American Chamber of Commerce in Paris. At home the Governor originated NEBRASKAland tours to awaken new enthusiam for the state. As a re- sult a record number of out-of-state tourists visited the recreational areas and toured the capital. Encouraging economic progress, the chief execu- tive directed a drive to organize Congressmen and Governors of 12 states to give bipartisan support to the Midwest Development Program. Consequently the Midwest Resource Association formed with a per- manent office in Washington, D.C. to lobby for research funds, manufacturing benefits and agricultural interests.

Hardin, the University adopted a six year 547.5 million improvement schedule and a 3525.4 million operating budget. To strengthen the physical science depart- ments, a portion ofthe assets provided money to furnish Behlen Hall with new laboratory equipment. Serving on the Board of the American Council on Education and as a trustee of the Rockefeller Founda- tion, Dr. Hardin improved out-of-state publicity. On campus the Chancellor supervised the recognition of two more instructors through Regents Professorships. Executive leadership encouraged the growth of the University assistance fund to off-set the anticipated rise in student educational costs. Utilization of Federal money provided by the work study plan resulted in additional scholarship aid to University students. l l 2 l l l C ,753 42 Clifford M Hardin Homecoming provides Chancellor Hardin Chancellor with a 1965 time-out and a winning guest.
