Dept. name change "Dept. of Horticulture and Forestry"

From the Dean of the College of Agriculture, W. V. Lambert, comes a recommendation that the name of the Department of Horticulture be changed to read "Department of Horticulture and Forestry." This recommendation is made in view of the increased interest in forestry in the state and from the further fact that a number of foresters are presently on the staff of the Department of Horticulture being assigned from the United States Department of Agriculture.

It was moved by Regent Greenberg, seconded by Regent Adkins, motion put to vote and carried, directing the Department of Horticulture at the College of Agriculture be renamed to read "Department of Horticulture and Forestry."

Approve application fee for admission of non-resident

From the Chancellor's office comes a recommendation that the University of Nebraska join other schools in the Big Eight Conference in charging an application fee of $10.00 for each non-resident undergraduate application for admission to the University of Nebraska. It is recommended that this fee be non-refundable. However, should the applicant actually enroll as an undergraduate student the $10.00 application fee would apply toward payment of fees and tuition. It is further stated the purpose of such a fee is to reduce the cost of processing "no show" applicants.
