Normal Courses Are Cut K.v P. C. POWELL, Staff Correspondent The Omaha Bee. Lincoln. April 4.—Reducing courses taught in Nebraska’s four schools from four years to two years, adopted by an almost three to'l vote, and a bitter attack on Dr. George E. Condra, l ead of the conservation and soil sur vey department of the state univer sity. featured consideration of the blanket house appropriation bill to nay. During the debate Representa ble James Auten displayed a pholo uvaphic copy of stock certificates for MOO,000 issued to Dr. Condra by a stock-selling concern in Lincoln which is .now In bankruptcy and in which hundreds of thousands of dollars were lost. The proposal to cut normal school courses two years came like a bombshell, when the normal school appropriation was reached. Garber of Red Cloud made the motion. It was worded as follow-: “That it is the sense of this body that the four-year normal courses be ■ ut to two.’’ Debate Is Spirited. Spirited deltute followed. After the vote wus taken. Garber prepared a motion to reduce the normal school appropriations 53 1-3 per cent. The total normal school aptp-opriations recommended was $1,270,000. This represents a reduction of approxi mately *425,000. Before Garber could introduce his resolution, an adjourn ment was forced. The argument ad vanced in favor of the Garber motion was that at present four normal fehools, in the last part of their courses were duplicating university in ruction, and instead of one univer s ty, Nebraska taxpayers were spend ing their money for one big univer sity and four miniature universities. In opposition to this contention was the charge that legislators were play ing into the hands of high priced Lincoln retailers and university boost ers. that pupils and parents to get a higher education would literally be forced to pay higher rentals, higher social requirements, all of which, it was claimed, are necessary parte of university life in Lincoln. -In other words, every other edu cational center in Nebraska win be come a hack yard for Lincoln, which now has the cream of state appropria ttons,’’ Regan of ColumbuV a demo- j • rat, said in explaining his negative vote. Condra I* Attacked. Charges against Dr. Condra were made when the house began consid eration of a >20,000 appropriation for the department of conservation and soil survey. Auten moved that the entire appropriation be eliminated. Auten was chairman of the university investigation commit(ee. "I want to see the university re gents discharge Dr. Gondra." Auten said ns a preface to his remarks. "Our investigation committee has proof and affidavits to show that the doctor used prestige of his position to sell stock, which has proved nearly worthless, that lie used the state mo "ii picture machine to take pictures "f the stock selling company's plant n Lincoln and showed pictures of these buildings over tire state while (Turn In Page Two. < oliimn Two.)
