Created by the legislature in ' 1941, to teach trades, the school has been the focal point for much i controversy in the legislature. ( Two strong attempts were made to abolish the school, after f opposition which included some j unions in Omaha. I In 1955, the newly-created state board of education was given the ; task of supervising the school, j This had been done in the past by j the state board of vocational ed- ] ucation, a group composed of the | governor, state superintendent of | schools, and three members nam ed by the governor to represent ; agriculture, industry and labor. f When voters authorized a state Ixiard of education it assumed ( functions of the vocational board. After the status of the school was definitely determined, it was cut in for a share of the state - building fund, a property tax levy. Money began coming in to up grade a rundown physical plant, aggravated by tornado damage. In its most recent action rela tive to the school, the board went on record in favor of legislation to change the name of the institution 4.1_ l 4»„l meal school. School Director Dave 11 Welch said students "are tired of being asked how much more time they have to serve because the school’s name implies it might be a penal institution.” Other action of the board was allowing the school to reduce its school year from 10 to 38 weeks. This is because Welch said there is a 43 per cent drop in enroll- | ment the final two weeks when I students return to farms or seek | summer employment. * * * Election Figures — Some of the final figures on Nebraska's Noveml>er 4 general election proved interesting. The total vote, which is measured by the number of ballots issued, was 430,769. The total vote in the gov ernor's race was 421,293. That means 9.000 persons who took out ballots did not vote in the governor’s race. Also, the further down the bal lot a name was, the larger was the number of persons who failed to vote. Secretary of State Frank Marsh topped the Republican ticket with a 72,069 win, but 28,828 persons still did not have a ballot on the race As a result of the state canvas sing board figures, Democrat Ralph G. Brooks of McCook will be seated January 8 as governor, and Richard Larsen, Omaha democrat, as state treasurer, des pite recount action underway by the Republicans. • * * Normal Board— The state normal hoard, which governs the four teachers col leges, has outlined its spending requests for 1959-61. Wanted is $2.4 million more from the property tax supported state general fund.. Earlier, the University of Neb raska went on record for a $5.8 million increase in tax funds. The total from these two big spending agencies is 8.2 million more. Details of what is wanted by the schools specifically will come out at budget hearings. Basically, however, officials of both groups say salaries will ac count for the lion's share of the boost. The normal hoard supervises colleges at Wayne, Chadron, Peru and Kearney. * * * Traffic Trouble— The state of Nebraska had big traffic troubles in the first 10 months of this year.
