A lull was evident yesterday in
the controversy between Harold
Niemann, suspended editor of the
DAILY, and the publications board
headed by Gayle C. Walker.
The disagreement began when
Niemann wrote and published a
story concerning the action of the
university senate. His story
scooped all other papers in the
state who had agreed to hold the
story until Sunday, while Niemann,
who did not receive the story
from the editorial and publicity of
fice until Saturday afternoon, pub
lished the story on Friday.
Immediately the Lincoln news
papers protested to university offi
cials. Editor Niemann was then
called before the publications
board and was reprimanded for
his actions as well as being placed
on probation.
In defense of his actions Nie
mann stated that the DAILY does
not compete with the city or out
stat pipers. He said that Lincoln
people do not read the university
paper for news regarding the uni
