Elections for the two open University Board of Re
gents positions are highlighted by the candidacy of Mrs.
Margaret Christensen, who if elected will be the first wom
an Regent.
"I think women deserve a place on the Board of Re
gents just as women have a place in the University," the
woman candidate said.
Shelby Housewife
Mrs. Christensen, Shelby housewife, will run against Dr.
B. N. Greenberg, York, incumbent for the fourth district.
She is a graduate of the University and has taught at Cur
tis, Fremont and Lincoln.
Dr. Greenberg has
been a Regent of the Uni
versity since 1953. He is a
former president of the
group and an honorary In
nocent at the University.
In the third district,
William Spear, Fremont
attorney, is running
against Richard Adkins,

m Osmond banker. Dr. C. Y.
Spear Thompson, former Regent Adkins
from the district, is retiring.
Former Chairman
Spear, 47, is a former state Republican chairman. He
graduated from the University and George Washington
University law school.
His opponent, Adkins, 38, is a stock raiser and feeder
farmer. He is a former board member of the Nebraska

of the paper p r i n t e d, but
enough material stories,
pictures, stock market re
ports, TV log and radio log
must all be dummied in
for the other 14 pages.
"We still are not going to
push news off the front page
just to make room for elec
tion stories," Martel said.
Important events such as
the Caril Fugate trial will
be covered by the reporting
students, for example, he
said.
Advertising
"The only thing we can't
account for in the paper is
the advertising. Our ads
will be hypothetical, but
everything else is for real,"
Martel continued.
Even society news will be
factual, with society editor
Marianne Thygeson making
arrangements with places
granting marriage licenses
and other society news mak
ing spots ahead of time.
Other members of the ed
