of the student council had this
to say:
"The university's situation
is similar o that of an em

an employee even though he
Is not convicted of the offense."
"Often employees are dis
missed from organizations for
being charged with a civil of

not convicted, in order to pro

The only other amend

stituted the words "may re

sentence read: "The discip
lining of the students is the
responsibility of the Division
of Student Affairs. This de

its disciplinary problems to
the Student Tribunal . . ."
This was done to clarify the
point that the dividion of Stu

for a proposed Center for

The spotlight of education

Legal Opinion Sought
On North Platte Center
Hardin Asks Attorney GeneraVs Office
About Proposed Extension Possibilities
An opinion on whether the
University can legally conduct
off-campus classes without the
approval of the Legislature
has been requested the at
torney general's office.
Assistant Attorney General
Gerald Vitamvas said he is
studying the question for which
Chancellor Hardin sought
clarification.
The question of the legality
of off-campus extension
classes was raised after a re
cent opinion written by Vitanv
vas which ruled the Univer
sity Board of Regents do not
have the authority to establish
a branch of the University
outside Lincoln.
Such authority would have
to be granted by the Legis
lature, the opinion stated.

Penny Fee
To Provide
Late Dates
Girls have been given s
chance for a "final fling" Frt
day night.
According to Sharon McDon
ald, publicity chairman, Fri
day night will be a Mortar
Board Late Date Night.
Girls may stay out until
1:30 a.m., provided then
dates pay a penny a minute
after regular closing hours of
12:30 a.m.
The money will go to the
foreign student tour fund.
Thirty-three foreign students
visited Nebraska farms, indus
tries, and towns in this year's
tour, March 31 through April

The Mortar Boards hope to
be able to raise enough money
to finance chartering another
bus for next year's tour, said
Sherry Hall, last year's Mor

Spaceivise
We're OK
By Herb Probasco
Staff Writer
"I think we've been rolling.
For the first time I can see
our way clear to handle our
increased enrollment, space
wise." In these words Chancellor
Clifford Hardin summed up
the state of the University in
relation to improvements and
additions over the past year.
Hardin referred to several
innovations which he termed
"significant." "Certainly the
Sheldon art gallery is one,"
he said. The Sheldon art gal
lery will be financed by a $2.5
million grant from the late
Francis Sheldon.
The Board, of Regents re
cently selected one of the
country's outstanding archi
tects, Philip Johnson, to de
sign the gallery.
"The Kellogg program
promises to be a significant
development," he noted.
Last February the W.K.
Kellogg foundation announced
a $1.8 million grant to the Uni
versity for the estabtishment
of a continuing education cen
ter. The grant is contingent
upon the University's raising
$1.5 million by February,
1959 to meet the Kellogg
grant.
Kellogg Funds
Efforts are now under way
to raise the matching funds,
Hardin stated.
"We're hoping to take a
group of people up to East
Lansing (Michigan) to see
that facility," he said. East
Lansing is the home of Michi
gan State University where a
center was built in 1951.
The Chancellor also com
mented that "some able peo
ple have joined the faculty.
There has been almost a
doubling in grants for outside
research which is highly sig
nificant and a reflection of
the quality of our faculty," he
pointed out.
He also praised the student
tribunal. "It's at least an in
novation and time will tell
how worthwhile," he said.
"I think there's been a gen
eral improvement in the sub
stance and morale of our
athletic program," he added.
Asked if any decisions had
been made as to what de
partments, schools or colleges
might be moved to the newly
purchased El g i n National
Watch Company plant, he re
plied that a dozen or so pos
sibilities had been listed, but
they are "hardly more than
gossip."
Classes At Elgin
The music department can
be eliminated because of the
noise factor, he said, while
the art department will not be
considered because it is nec
essary to keep it near Mor
rill Hall, he noted. Transplant-'
ing of the Dental College and
the chemistry department is
hardly feasible because of the
expense involved.
Pharmacy, electrical engi
neering and University High
School are well-situated with
new homes, while Bancroft
grade school has a pretty
good set-up where it is, Har
din said.
"We've got to provide space
for physics," he pointed out.
Most of this bi-ennium's mon
ey has been spent for the
purchase of the Elgin plant,
so little readapting will be
done before next summer, he
explained. Most of the re
vamping will be done in small
contracts.
