Head Group to
Study Schools
Governor val Peterson ap
pointed a committee yesterday to
study relationships between the
university and the f rt,,r normal
schools, and the possibility of
equalizing enrolment among the
five institutions.
Chancellor R. G. Gustavson
will serve as chairman of the com
mittee with presidents of the four
normal schools as members.
Joining with the governor to
make the request the budget
and education committees of the
legislature directed the committee
to study the situation and make
recommendations not later than
April 7.
In a letter addressed to com
mittee members, the governor
pointed out that the university
was over-crowded while the nor
mal schools are not, and that as
a result "fine physical education
plants, including in some instan
ces, excellent dormitory space,
are going to waste."
He further stated, "The con
trasting situations at these in
stitutions presents many prob
lems to Nebraska and is of vital
concern to the legislature cur
rently in session and particularly
10 lis Dudget committee now en
gaged In attempting to find funds
to support higher educational
institutions along with other state
activities."
It was brought out at recent
hearings before a legislative com
mittee on the question of a con
stitutional amendment to bring
the five institutions under one
board that the university has the
highest enrolment on record and
in the next two or three years it
is expected to go even higher.
The normal schools, however, are
operating at about one-half of
their capacity.
