BURNETT REPLIES TO
CHARGES OF JENSEN
Chancellor Tells Pawnee
Taxpayers 'School Is
Not Wasteful.'
Chancellor E. A. Burnett ad
dressed the Pawnee county tax
payers league Saturday night at
Pawnee City on the administration
of state university affairs and
campus development. The speech
was a reply to Anton H. Jensen,
former instructor in the university,
and his condemnation of what he
alleged as wastefulness at the
school and its land transactions
with fraternities and sororities.
"The school wants to be and is
in sympathy with the present de
pressed situation, and I feel that
the purposes of the school ought to
be carried on without useless ex
penditures," the chancellor de
clared. "How much can be devoted to
the purposes of higher education
is for you people to determine,"
said Burnett. "How much is ap
propriated for the university must
be voiced by the people of the
state, and their combined judg
ment is represented by the judg
ment of the legislature."
Chancellor Burnett referred to
staff salary reductions, and the
pay reduction he took voluntarily
was pointed out by L. E. Gunder
son, financial secretary, who ac
companied him to Pawnee City.
. Speaking of the campus develop
ment plans and zoning of the
areas nearby, the chancellor said,
"We believe that the permanent
set up for the campus develop
ment is the best and cheapest pro
oram for the university." He then
gave a background for some of the
real estate transactions mentioned
by Jensen and detailed them as
recorded in university reports.
