New policy
for progress
A new flag, a now makeup, a now size
mark the awakening today of a new DAILY
NEBRASKAN, a new DAILY NEBRASKAN
that has weathered the turbulence of tran
sition from poverty to- never before known
prosperity. Aroused from its open-mouthed
gaping at new, luxurious surroundings so
devoid of the crumbling plaster and saging
beams that for 50 years filled the hearts of
editors with one word fight, the NEBRAS
KAN once again settles down to the serious
business of newspaper editing and university
progress.
A semester of "getting acquainted" with
a new office, a new building, and most of
all a new chancellor, has popped the dream
and brought into focus the campus as it is,
not as it seemed in the sparkle of a Student
Union in which the paint still smells fresh.
That same fresh paint, however, now brings
a nostalgia which inspires battle not a battle
against the existing order, but rather one
beside it to attain a goal progress,
j Great strides have been taken in the
1 last year toward a solution of one of the
' state's greatest problems, education. A
state planning board to investigate and de
termine the best steps to be taken in cor
rection is a need that has long been felt.
Now these evidences of activity must be
changed to realities of advancement.
The "doing" lies with the legislature.
Two proposals have been submitted them a
consolidation of the University Hoard of
Regents with the state normal board, and
greater restriction of students attending the
various schools. Theoretically both plans
could be adopted to the great advantage of the
young people of the state.
But even these suggestions arc subordinate
to a greater question which must be settled
before nny real improvements can appear. This
problem is simply to determine the future
.position of the four normal schools, created
some 20 years ago to train much needed
teachers at convenient locales thru the state.
As the demands for these instructors decreased
and their training requirements grew, the
normal schools made but one change that of
increasing their capacities and their courses.
Today these schools are educating over
4,000 teachers in a state with approximately
half the population of that of Iowa where
one normal school seems to be adequately
filling requirements with only 2,000 stu
dents. Not satisfied with increasing them
selves from two-year to four-year training
schools, these institutions now give every
evidence of attempting to thrust themselves
into the category of full universities.
Governor Cochran's recent budget message
leaves no question as to the utter impossi
bility of Nebraska's drouth stricken people
to finance such wasteful duplication of edu
cating facilities.
Mr. Hugh Brown of Kearney, and Mr.
W. R. Pate of Torn State Teacher's College,
who have both openly opposed the Governor's
economy measures and the single board plan,
could gain some valuable advice from Presi
dent Hayncs of the University of Omaha.
Quoting:
"Because the tax resources of Omaha
will have a continuing burden for relief
and because other parts of the educational
program . . . have urgent financial needs,
the University of Omaha should not ask
for increased tax funds without the utmost
effort to live within its current income ..."
Even with an ever increasing enrollment,
the university can be maintained, says Presi
dent Havnes, by adhering to a policy:
"When our bill of fare of courses and
activities includes all that we can afford to
offer, do not add new courses and activities
which call for added expenditures without
dropping some already offered to compen
sate for the added expense."
Such a nolicv of economy should not be
restricted to one university nor even to mono
tary considerations alone ,but should be broad
ened to include the !;;,-ational system of the
entire state. Solution lies in readjustment
Perhaps the planning board will find that
solution. When they produce, the NEBRAS
KAN will be with them for PROGlihSS.

Yesterday morning, a bill providing for the consolidation
of the state normal schools with the University of Nebraska
under the supervision of one governing board, similar to the
Board of Regents, was introduced to the unicameral by Dr. A.
h Miller, legislator from Kimball. This morning the bill Will
receive its second reading and during the day will be assigned
to a proper committee where its fate will be "dod.

become an amendment to the
state constitution, the changes
brought about by the new system
would greatly Influence the lives
of University students, we at
tempted to get a cross-section of
student opinion on the bill through
the following interviews.

If they don't have a chassis
They make one,

be far to great for one board to
carry. I suggest that we keep the
present system with its two gov
erning boards. I do believe that
there could be more cooperation
between these two boards which
would help iron out the difficulties
that they are now experiencing."
PAT LAHR SENIOR, ARTS
AND SCIENCE.
"If a capable board could bo
selected without interference from
politics and if the University would
always receive consideration as
the only University in the state,
I'm all for it. In theory, it is a
wonderful plan but whether it
could be worked out in practice,
I don't know.'

"The University is bound to lose
financially . Of course, I'm look

of view."
LAUREN HOUSEL.-. JUNIOR,

"I do believe that one board with
good personnel would help
remedy part of the overlapping,
duplication, and inefficiency- found
in the present system. There is a
lack of funds in all of the systems
and I think that a good board
might be able to make what funds
they have go farther by putting
them where they will do the most
good. UUnder present conditions,
the normal colleges are terribly
neglected. There is a need for a
change but I'm not entirely sure
that one board could make that
change."
PHIL DULEY FRESHMAN
ARTS SCIENCE.
"Theoretically, its the tops. A
one board system would be finan
cially more sucessful than the
present set-up because they could
plan the entire budget and make
allotments where they are most
needed. Right now the smaller
colleges do not have half a chance
financially. However, the fact that
there is so much theory in the
proposed bill makes me feel that
it will fail when put into practise."
RUBY BUSCOW FRESHMAN,
ARTS AND SCIENCE.
"I believe it to be a good plan.
It is sure to be far more fair than
the present system. Right now, the
smaller systems such as Peru or
Chadron don't have much of a
chance."
DICK HITCHCOCK- JUNIOR,
ENGINEERING.
'It's too much of a job for one
board. The one board plan might
tie compared to the monopoly
which reaches a point where anv
expanse or increase is made
against their own cause. Then too
the problem of the different col
leges and the University are too
numerous and different for one
board to handle. I say, let's keep
the present svstem."
BOB HEMPHILL JUIOR, ARTS
AND SCIENCE.
"Something must be done to
establish cooperation . between
these two separate educational
factors. If the one board system
will ease future tax burdens with
out lessening educational opportu
nities, it is a most laudable attempt
to nullify present inefficiency."
CLARK O'HANLON SOPHO
MORE, BUSINESS ADMINIS
TRATION. "It's a good idea because it gives
the smaller schools a better system
of administration and provides for
a better correlation between nor
mal colleges and the University.
The one plan idea would provide
a logical stepping stone for stu
dents wishing to transfer from any
normal schools to the
of these
University."
