ell I lord M. llardui Chancellor, University of Nebraska Increased Enrollment Poses Housing Problem for Hardin In keeping with the expanding University population. Chancellor Clifford M. Hardin is confronted with the problem of providing more adequate housing for increased numbers of stu- dents . The proposed program includes purchas- ing grounds, designing buildings and engaging contractors. Since Chancellor Hardin assumed his position in 1954. the number of students has steadily increased to the present 8,700. Students are still living in the same facilities, but additions to houses and dorms have been made. Chancellor Hardin also serves in a public capacity as University host, speaker and lec- turer. Although he is probably most readily associated with his official capacity, he per- forms many shirt-sleeve duties in order to coordinate the transactions necessary for a sue cessful university. The formality of the podium often fades to the informality of the office with its stacks of carbon paper and reels of dictation. Another of the Chancellor ' s responsibilities is the orientation of freshmen. Each year a re- ception is held so that new students may have an opportunity to meet him personally. . fter a week of activity the Hardin family finds Sundays at home a welcome break. 12
