Chancellor Administrates NU Expansion Program Proposals for University expansion, under the direction of Chancellor Clifford M. Hardin, included construction of an all-male dormitory. Preliminary plans called for the new dormitory to be larger than Cather and Pound residence halls and to be occupied by the fall of 1965. An additional $1,500,000, ap- propriated by the 1963 State Legislature, advanced the planning of a ne f music building. Also in the blueprint stage were new facilities designed for the University College of Dentistry and the College of Medicine in Omaha, and for a new animal husbandry laboratory on the Agriculture campus. Working on local and national committees, Chan- cellor Hardin served as a trustee of the Rockefeller Foundation and as a member of the Committee to Strengthen the Security of the Free World. Nebraska ' s Chancellor also participated in the Council of Higher Education of the American Republic. Clifford M.

Board of Regents Faces NU Enrollment Increase To meet increased student enrollment, members of the Board of Regents enlarged University facilities and hired additional faculty members. The student population reached an all-time high of 11,500 in the 1963-64 registrations. With higher faculty salaries and costs of remodeling present facilities, the 1963-64 University budget was increased to a total of $47, 000,000. The Board of Regents also added staff mem- bers at the Eugene C. Eppley Institute in Omaha for the research of cancer and allied diseases. Through legislation by the 1963 Unicameral, the Board of Regents was permitted to use facilities of the state junior colleges for University research and instructional programs. The boards of managers of the state junior colleges were consolidated under one board of directors supervised by the NU Regents. Other action by the Regents included an increase in dental, medical and non-resident student tuition. Richard Adkins and Dr. Ben Greenberg inspect kitchen facilities of the Twin Towers dormitory.
