Regents ' Budget Theme: Catch Up and Keep Up Citing- increased enrollment, higher operating- costs and less than competitive faculty salaries, the Regents submitted the largest University budget ever proposed. To justify the increase, the Board stressed the need for providing quality instruction and contributing to the total economic and social welfare of Nebraska. The financial request included a plan to establish an Engineer- ing Experimentation Station serving as a research center to benefit Nebraska ' s present and future industries. After completing three six-year terms, J. Leroy Welsh of Omaha retired from the Board. R ichard Herman, also of Omaha, replaced Welsh, while a race for another post saw educator Edward Schwartzkopf defeat former president Clarence Swanson. With sights set on a stomping Cornhusker Victory, Regents and wives round up Homecoming alumni. Board of Regents: Bock Row: R, Roun, R. Adkins, C. E. Swanson, president. Front Row: J. G. Elliott, vice president, J. L. Welsh, B, N. Greenberg. 21
