Close School
At Inman
The Inman Public School re
mained closed Wednesday as a
result of a ruckus over the au
thority of the schoolboard and
the Superintendent, G. E. Tennis.
The school was clos'd following
a closed meeting of the board
late last week. Tempers had
flared at an open meeting held
earlier in the week. Attending the
open meeting besides the school
board and patrons of the dis
trict were Conty Superintendent,

William Griffin and Deputy Sher
iff James Mullen.
Members of the Inman Board
of Education are Lewis Kopecky,
Freelan Pribil, Cliff Sobotka,
Vera Halt, Loran Libby and
Mick Gallagher.
The problem in the school
reportedly involves a dispute
between board members as to
the amount of authority dele
gated to the school superinten
dent in running the school and
determining school policy In re
gard to the athletic department.
Both Superintendent Tennis
and Lewis Kopecky, president of
die school board were out of
town as of Wednesday noon.
Other board members contacted
by the Frontier were reluctant
to discuss the situation and could
give no indication as to when
the school might be reopened.
County Superintendent Alice
French told the Frontier Wednes
day that no difficulty was antici
pated as far as the legal aspect
of closing or opening the school
and that as long as the required
number of school days were com
pleted there was no danger of los
ing the school at Inman.

written to jiernnt merchant* and
other businesses to give prizes
away by a drawing. Such method*
are now illegal according to Ne
braska law, although they are of
ten practiced
A vote FOR Aniednim-nt No.
1 would simply legalize the

Many Nebraskans today are

imrxirtant of all the amendments.
This would provale that ir< re

purposes established lines other

ed—end that primary emphasis
shall be given to population with
prescribed weight given to area.
This important amendment is a
must for voters in the rural area.
If, it is not passed, there is a
good chance that rural areas will
lose their voice in the legislature.
Most states have legislatures
that—with two houses— have re
presentation both on area and
population basis. Nebraska, how
ever, has only one house and
therefor, must assure itself that
representation should be main
tained both for area arid imputa
tion.
A vote FOR amendment No. 7
is a must for rural Nebraxkana.
And it is equally important that
voters mark fheir ballots rather
than pas* up the issue. In a
sense, failure to vote amount* to
a vote against the measure since,
to pas*, an ammendment must
not only get a majority, but must
also get at least 35 per cent of
the votes cast at the election, ft
is quite possible for an amend
ment to get more votes FOR than
AGAINSTT, but still lose because
it would not get the required 36
per cent of the total votes cast
