'Son 9 Salu
By Mack Lundstrom
Managing Editor
The man who knew
James E. Lawrence as a
"second father" paid a
simple but forceful tribute
Saturday evening to the
late Nebraska editor,
teacher and statesman.
William H. Lawrence, po
litical correspondent for the
New York Times, was the
speaker. The occasion was
a testimonial banquet for
Mr. Lawrence, who until his
death last fall was editor of
The Lincoln S"tar and an in
structor in , the School of
Journalism.
It was with a "genuine
sense of inadequacy" that
Lawrence took on this
"tough assignment, because
I feel so strongly about
Jimmy."
The speaker, a former
Lincolnite but of no relation
to Mr. Lawrence, had been
given a job at the age of
16 by Mr. Lawrence as a
reporter on The Star.

Pub Board Revamps
Nebraskan News Staff
Four Paid Staff W riters Added;
Editorial
Reorganization of the edi
torial staff of the Daily Ne
braskan has been approved
by the Subcommittee on Stu
dent Publications, according
to Dr. Robert Knoll, chair
man. The changes will go into
effect the fall semester.
Under the new system, the
staff will include four paid
writers, the most experienced
of whom will hold the title
of senior staff writer.
The senior staff writer will
assume the responsibilities of
the present news editor and
in addition will cover person
ally the most important cam
pus news stories.
Positions Equal
The salary and position of
the senior staff writer will be
equivalent to that of the man
aging editor, with both of
them receiving $65 per month.
The position of the other
three paid staff writers will
be equal in rank and salary
to that of the copy editors,
$35 per month.
To provide funds for the
staff writers, the Subcommit
tee on Student Publications
has abolished the positions of
editorial page editor and ag
riculture editor.
Pay Hike
The Subcommittee feels
that the editor can assume
more direct responsibility for
the editorial page. To com
pensate him for the increased
responsibility, the editor's sal
ary will be raised from $65
to $85 per month.
A staff writer will be regu
larly assigned to cover the
College of Agriculture as part
of his regular reportorial
duties
Both the writers and copy
editors will contribute to ed
itorial material on a sched
uled basis. A staff writer will
also be available to the sports
editor during peak news pe
riods and when voluntary
help is not available.
The reorganization was
made by the Subcommittee
in order to provide the Daily
Nebraskan a supply of expe
rienced reporters and to en
courage those students who
are interested in writing rath
er than (or in addition to)
editing news.
. Two Routes
This new staff structure will
provide seven opportunities
and two routes for advance
ment for junior staff mem
bers.
In previous years, students
who were not chosen for one
of the four copy editing po
sitions open each semester
normally dropped from the
staff. This necessitated the
training of a new reporting
staff, largely from the fresh
man ranks, each semester.
Addition of the paid staff
writers will enable copy edi
tors to devote full-time to
their newspaper desk work.
This should provide them the
needed time for more careful
editing of the Nebraskan. In
recent years copy editors
have had to rush through
&mes
days on the Star when Mr.
Lawrence taught his report
ers how to get the news
right, "with no person too
big or powerful to escape
the truth." "There was no
place for partisan news on
The Star," he said.
Only on the editorial page
did Mr. Lawrence blaze his
partisan Democratic beliefs
vith an "evangelistic fer
vor," Lawrence said.
It was Lawrence's conclu
sion that even as a Demo
crat, Mr. Lawrence was
just as harsh of other
Democrats who failed to
serve the public interest as
he always was with Repub
licans. The evidence of Mr. Law
rence's love for his state
was in the many projects
he championed, the speak
er said. He was a pioneer in
conservation, which culmi
nated In Nebraska's "little
TVA." He was instrumental
in the founding and prog
ress of the School of Jour
nalism as well as the Uni
versity. He was the guiding
light of the State Historical
Page Editor Dropped
their regular chores in order
to handle news assignments
because of the shortage of ex
perienced reporters.
The Subcommittee ap
proved the reorganization in
the hope that it will eliminate
the problems that have faced
each Nebraskan staff in re
cent years a lack of quali
fied reporters. It recognizes
that the transition period will
not be without problems, but
Art Museum
Designer Enthusiastic
About NV Possibilities
By Marilyn Coffey
Staff Writer
"Lincoln is a lively place
for modern art. It's famous
in New York."
This observation was
made by Philip C. Johnson,
an architect from New York
City employed by the Board
of Regents to design the art
museum that is to replace
the Art Galleries of Morrill
Hall.
Johnson was described as
"one of the significant arch
itects of the American gen
eration," by Linus Burr
Smith, chairman of the
architectural department.
The dapper architect vis
iting the campus Friday in
order to inspect possible
building sites was enthusi
astic about the museum be
ing planned for Lincoln.
So Exciting
"The building is a proto
type so exciting that all
Universities will have to
have one," he said.
He spoke of the Tniilding
as a community center for
the revival of modern art,
influencing thousands of
people who visit it.
Modern art is one of the
exciting movements in
America, he explained. A

Johnson indicated a gen

"The museum of modern
art is at least taking its
place in American culture,"
he said.
Visual art which has been
forgotten in the obsession
with literature during the
past generation is now com

Johnson might be called a
"specialist in museums."
He designed the Utica Mu

many private museums.

his style which is devoid of
