creditable and defensible stan
dards, a maximum limit (for ex
ample, 5,000 students) could be
maintained administratively:
1. Retain the present admission
policy, admit virtually all high
school graduates who apply for
admission but raise standards for
retention of good standing by stu
dents and thus increase dismissals
materially in the first and second
years."
Students could object.
The probable result of such a
meaaure would be a larger num
ber of students than at present
could rightly object that they were
permitted to attempt to pursue
programs not appropriate for their
abilities and needs.
2. "Increase fees."
Such a step would increase rev
enue per student, but would re
duce the total enrollment some
what on the economic status; not
a few excellent students who are
barely able to remain in college
because of lack of funds would be
unable to do so if fees were raised.
Such a, policy of economic selec
tivity is not defensible education
ally.
3. "Admit by certificate gradu
ates of accredited high schools
who have an average grade high
enough to place them in the upper
half or two thirds of the graduat
ing class, and those from the lower
half or third who can pass en
trance exams. Such a policy is
followed at Pennsylvania State
university."
Would save standing.
Results: The quality of the fac
ulty personnel (reduced in num
ber because of the reduction in en
rollment) and the quality of edu
cational guidance, teaching, and
research, could be maintained at
a point high enough that the
standing of the university would
not be in jeopardy at least as
high as the minimum required for
an accredited status.
However, this plan could not be
properly adopted unless bill 140,
now being considered by the edu
cation committee is passed by the
house. This bill gives the board of
regents complete contvol over en
trance and good standing require
ments.
Want government backing.
All the members of the board
of regents and Chancellor Boucher
made it very clear to1 the mem
bers of the committee that they
would not take such a course of
action depicted in the above plan
unless they had the full backing
of the committee and the legisla
ture.
The second plan submitted to
the committee concerns the course
of action which would be taken if
the appropriation remained con
stant with that of last biennium
It read as follows: "An appronria
tion the same as for 1937-39, of
53,017,440 for the university woul
make possible the operation of the
institution on the present basis

Lily Pons wires
Cathedral choir
encouragement
A wire from Lily Pons, Inter
nationally famous star of opera,
stage and screen, was received by
the Lincoln Cathedral Chr Sat
urday expressing a desire that the
organization appear in New York
this summer, according to Direc
tor John M. Rosborough.
Miss Pons, in whose home the
choir sang during its last appear
ance in New York, urged the choir
to make the trip which it is con
templating at the present time.
The group is still seeking a
sponsor for its World's Fair ap
pearances, however, and if such a
sponsor is not secured by Wed
nesday, contracts with officials
will be cancelled. The tentative
schedule of performances for the
choir includes three appearances
on the Fair grounds, in addition
to one in the Waldorf-Astoria ho
tel and one in Radio City.
with only such acceleration of loss
of standing as may be occasioned
bv the forecasted increase in en
rollment without additional funds
to meet the added instructional
load."
Could atop decline.
The third plan concerns what ac
tion would be taken if the allot
ments fulfilled the request made
by the board of regents for the
university fund. It reads: "Tne
budget request as submitted by
the board of regents, $3,377,103,
for the university fund, is neces
sary if the slow but steady loss
of relative and actual standing of
the university is to be checked."
It is over this loss of standing
that the officials of the university
are principally concerned. The
consensus of opinion of the regents
as they appeared before the
boards, paralleled that which they
expressed a few weeks ago when
the budget was first presented to
Engineers hear facts

ley, engineering junior, will give
the address.
Following the dinner the annual

the club will be taken at the Har

the governor. At that time they
said, "We have already received
notice of conditions necessary to
attain accredited status for some
parts of our program, and have
received indications of conditions
that must be met to maintain the
accredited status in other parts.
Have been losing status.
"During the last three bien
niums, our actual standing and
our relative standing have been
lowered among the leading uni
versities of the country.
"The university can continue to
exist merely in name and in fact
on a budget no larger than the
one for the biennium just closing;
but its star of glory will continue
to wane and its curve of quality
will descend to the point that our
coveted membership in the Asso
ciation of American Universities
will be in jeopardy, and we shall
be unable to maintain even the
respectable minimum of standards
necessary to retain accredited
status among the numerous na
tional accrediting agencies to
whom we are accountable for the
various parts of our problem."
Threaten N. U. Position.
In the Association of American
Universities, the regents referred
to the highest standing accredit
ing and standard setting organiza
tion in the United States to which
Nebraska has had the distinction
of full membership since 1908. The
list of members includes the coun
try's foremost privately endowed
and state universities.
Yesterday afternoon, Chancellor
Boucher presented the committee
with figures showing that that
eight universities, who have a
higher standing than the Univer
sity of Nebraska and who desire
to be member of the Association,
threaten Nebraska's position in the
association?
Jawbone
(Continued from Page 1)
evidence of early man in Ne
braska. In the bottom of one of
the canals, about 100 feet from
the spot where the jaw was dis
covered, they found several broken
fragments of the top of a human
skull.
Not enough of the skull was
recovered to allow scientists to de
termine its shape, but Dr. Otis
Wade, of the zoology department,
who examined the pieces, agreed
with Museum experts that .they
are definitely human. Both the
jaw and skull fragments show
considerable weathering, and al
though it has been impossible to
establish the antiquity of the ma
terial, Schultz believes the bones
may well be 20,000 years old.
In the process of digging the
canal, workmen have excavated a
great quantity of fossilized mate
rial. These animal remains will
be brought to . University labora
tories where they will be exam
ined and identified.
While in the western part of
the state Schultz addressed the
North Platte Rotary club and a
meeting of amateur scientists.
