office of the war department in
Omaha will take most of the work
in Omaha and will make some

University Arranges Courses.
All courses are arranged by thev
university at the suggestion of the
United States office of education.
Authorization for three courses at
the University of Omaha with the
instruction given subject to the
approval of the university which,
in turn, will be responsible for the
work to the U. S. office of educa
tion, is now being sought.
According to Dean Ferguson,
there is no indication that the reg
ular college engineering programs
will be speeded up for national de
fense purposes. The findings of
a national advisory committee
suggest that special programs will
be given increased attention in
the future.
Statistics for March 1 showed
913 such courses being offered by
128 institutions. More than 36.000
trainees were enrolled in 445 of
these courses as of last Dec. 30.

DAVID LILIENTHAL
. . . graduate of Harvard
Lilienthal has expressed himself
as greatly interested in the Ne
braska conference's subject of
"Interterntorial Freight Rates" as
a result of his work in the indus
trial development of the Tennessee
valley region. One of the com
prehensive studies of this problem
came from the research division
of the TVA and is known as the
Alldredge report, the author hav
ing since been appointed to the
ICO.
A graduate of Harvard law
school in 1923, Lilienthal practiced
law in Chicago until 1931 when
Gov. Philip LaFollette of Wiscon-
sin appointed him a public service
commissioner of that state. He
was one of the incorporators of
the TVA and served as its general
counsel during the Authority's
inilial perjCHl. In 1939 he became
vice-chairman of the TVA board
of directors.

Coming from Kearney, the sen
ator is naturally much interested
in the state normal school in that
city. It is his intention to see that
the college gets a fair appropria
tion. And as a member of the appro
priations committee and the sub
committee in charge of educa
tional institutions, he is in a posi
tion to fulfill his intention. The
sub-committee has already made
personal inspection tours of all
but one of the state's educational
institutions.
Recently Senator Mueller has
been active in securing some form
of federal government aid for the
drouth stricken area around
Kearney.
The senator's suggestions for
improving the unicameral were
interesting. He believes that it
should be a larger and a partisan
body. "There would be much time
saved if, on each measure, pro
ponents and opponents were or
ganized." declared the senator.
Plus that Senator Mueller believes
that a partisan body would be bet
ter able to put the platform of the
partisan governor in effect.
