Out of Old Nebraska , . . University Always Notes Charter Day The University of Nebraska counts February 15th as its birthday, for it was on that day, back in 1869, that the legislature passed the act which established the university. Each year the university celebrates charter «ijLy with appropriate ceremonies. On charter day in 1881 (just a decade, lacking a few months, after the institution first opened its doors to students), Dr. Sam uel Aughey, first professor of natural sciences at the universi ty and a most remarkable man, delivered an address on “The ideas and the Men that Created he University of Nebraska.” He pointed out that the set tlers of Nebraska were by no neans unanimous in their desire to establish a university. Some argued that the state was too poor to afford such an institu tion. Others pointed to the lack of preparatory schools and ar gued that the building of a uni versity should follow the growth o'f a system of secondary schools. v I II A SPECIAL HEARTY STRONGER SEER FOR WINTER USE i, Winterbru is a special hearty strong beer for winter use.

Against these arguments, men came forward to urge that a new state could not too early estab . lish institutions of higher learn ing. Others felt that the time had come for the establishment of a university controlled by the peo ple for the benefit of all. Many, while realizing that the prai ries had to be subdued, appre ciated the fact that there were other interests besides that of the dollar. There was a recogni tion that culture was something desirable for its own sake and that a university would aid in the development of a cultured citizenry. Still others argued that a university would be a good advertisement for the new state and would serve to induce set tlers to locate in Nebraska. Though there was much argu ment over the university in the early years of its operation, there was great unanimity in the leg islature when the institution was chartered. The charter bill, in troduced in the senate by E. E. Cunningham of Richardson coun ty, did not receive a single neg I ative vote in either house of the : legislature. Dr. Aughey also called atten tion to the fact that many of Ne | braska’s leading citizens were I young men, and that many of i them had had the benefit of col lege educations in the East be fore coming to Nebraska. They saw clearly the need for a uni versity and worked vigorously to bring it into being. Complete 63 Tray Mats — The Golden Keys club meet ing was held Friday, December 12.

Commission Seen As Early Issue Backers Say Board to Be Advisory By CLIFF SANDAHL Chairman, Nebraska Editors Highway Conference LINCOLN — if pre - election views expressed by some of the successful candidates for the Ne braska legislature are an indica tion, the forthcoming session of the unicameral may have about as many ideas on how to set up a state highway commission * as there are state senators. it is a cinch that establishment of a highway commission will be an issue early in the 1953 legis lature, which convenes on Tues day, January 6, for public an nouncement already has been made th«t such legislation will be introduced and given impe tus. In addition, various organiza tions over the state are on record in favor of a commission—pri marily on a part-time, advisory, policy-making basis, at the same time leaving engineering details to the engineers. These organizations include member groups of the Nebraska Highway Users conference, such as farm, trucking, and petroleum interests, plus the All Nebraska Association of Road and High way associations (An-Ar-Ha), and the Better Nebraska associa tion (B-N-A). Spokesmen for the highway users have made it plain that they are standing pat on what they espoused before the 1951 legislature — that the highway commissioners serve on a part time basis, not more than 60 days per year, and that the com mission ‘‘confine its activi ties to policy, and the enforce ment of its policy, leaving to other the peculiar problems of administration and operation.” While sentiment has been expressed that a highway com mission is acceptable only if that is the only way to get in creased revenue, An-Ar-Ha of ficials say they are for a com mission "regardless." They take the position that increas ed revenue cannot be obtained unless a commission is created. As for B-N-A, its representa tives will go along with the idea of a part-time, advisory highway commission, provided funds are made available, too. But they in LEGAL NOTICE (First pub.

Dated this 26th day of N6vem ber 1922 20 22 BERNARD M‘ DELAY, 30'33c Guardian sist that the additional revenue must be forthcoming, and not just a highway commission. But how do members of the legislature feel about it? In its poll of legislative candi dates, An-Ar-Ha succeeded in ferreting out the views of 33 of the 43 men elected to serve the people in 1953-54, the other 10 failing to give any answer what soever. A' recapitulation of the replies shows that 14 are unqualifiedly and definitely for establishment of a highway commission; five are for one on an “if necessary” basis; six are flatly against a highway commission; four are conditionally against; while four are uncommitted or open-mind ed. About the only feature on which there seems to be gener al agreement is the idea of an advisory, part-time commis sion, coupled with the fact that the highway engineer should do the engineering. But it’s a different story when it comes to the makeup of such a new venture in Nebraska. Some of the legislators want the cpmmission members to be appointed, others want them elected. Some want the commis sioners to be paid salaries even up to $10,000 a year each, others want the commissioners to be paid per diem and expenses with certain limitations on the num ber of meetings a year. Some want the commissioners to serve four years, others for six or more years. Some want up to eight members, others want no more than four. Those are just a few of the diverse thoughts. So it is obvious that if there is to be a state highway commis sion established in Nebraska next year, the end product will have to be the result of a mesh ing of a lot of ideas.
