Informed sources expect Governor Victor Anderson to propose a state tax fund increase for the University of Nebraska of up to 4 million dollars, likely about 2.5 million, to cover a requested 5,563,125 for the 1957-59 biennium. Most new funds would go to salaries, with the governor weighing salary boosts for existing staff but opposing new hires, though some new personnel may be considered to offset rising enrollments.
