The Daily Nebraskan will have to change its name
next fall.
The. new name will be The Nebraskan.
For, according to a decision reached Saturday by the
Board of Student Publications, the University's only
newspaper will be published three times a week.
The decision to cut out an
Jssue a week came as a result of
severe financial problems which
The Daily Nebraskan has faced
during the last year.
. The Board also cut staff sal
aries and eliminated two paid
editorial positions feature edi
tor and assistant sports editor.
According to estimates pre
sented to the Board, The Daily
Nebraskan will lose between
$1,500 and $2,500 this semester.
The cuts in salary, positions
end publishing schedule will
6ave $3,348 a semester.
After a loss of approximately
$3,500 first semester of thjs
year, the Board in January re
duced The Daily Nebraskan
from five to four issues a week,
eliminated two staff positions
and reduced salaries for an es
timated savings of $2,938 a sem
ester. The economy measures Sat
urday followed the Board's re
jection, by a vote of 4-3, of an
offer from the University ad
ministration to donate $2,000 to
The Daily Nebraskan next year
(1) if staff salaries were cut
at least 10 per cent and (2) if
the advertising revenue for the
first semester of the 1953-54
school year exceeded the cur
rent year's first semester rev
enue by $600. The offer was
available to The Daily Ne
braskan only if the seven-column
four-day-a-week sched
ule "was maintained.
The Board reportedly refused
the administration's offer be
cause: 1. The subsidy would be
available only for the 1953-54
school year.
2. Neither the $2,000 nor the
Increase In advertising revenue
could be incorporated into next
fall's budget, since the Board
would not know whether cither
would have been available until
mid-year.
3. According to the Board's
figures, The Daily Nebraskan
would have lost money next
semester at four issues a week,
despite the subsidy and the in
crease in advertising.
The Board, however, did
make an effort to increase ad
vertising revenue by cerating
two additional assistant busi
ness managers, making four in
stead of two.
Although their salaries will
$20 a month instead of the cur
rent $45 a month, the assistant
business managers will receiye
a 10 per cent commission on
all advertising sold, except for
national and contract advertis
ing. The Daily Nebraskan busi
ness staff had not previously re
ceived commissions.
Other economy measures en
acted at Saturday's meeting in
cluded: 1. Saving $2,528 a semester
by eliminating one issue a week.
(16 weeks at the $158-an-issue
it now costs for printing).
2. Eliminating the positions
of assistant sports editor (at $25
a month) and feature editor (at
$35 a month.) Salaries are paid
on a four month basis each
semester. This would save $240.
3. Reducing salaries of the
following:
Editor from $85 to $65 a
month.
Editorial Page Editor from
$55 to $45.
Managing Editor from $55 to
$45.,
News Editor from $55 to
$45.
Sports Editor from $55 to
$45.
Copy Editor (four positions)
from $40 to $35.
Ag Editor from $35 to $20.
Business Manager from $80
to $60.
Circulation Manager from
$70 to $50.
This would save $540.
The reductions were recom
mended in a report from a Pub
lications B08rd sub-committee,
consisting of Dr. Nathan B.
Blumberg, assistant professor of
journalism, and Hile Goodrich,
senior student representative on
the Board.
Also considered, but not rec
ommended by the sub-committee,
was conversion of The
Daily Nebraskan into a four-issuo-n-week.
tabloid-size news
paper. The sub-committee rec
ommended the three-a-w e e k
seven-column edition in prefer
ence to a tabloid after consult
ing members of The Daily Ne
braskan staff.
Although the Board met
Thursday afternoon to receive
the sub-committee's report, it
adjourned until Saturday after
learning of the administration's
offer. The offer was not pre
sented in detail until Satur
day's meeting.
The administration's proposal
was first relayed to the Board
from Bruce H. Nicoll, adminis
trative assistant to the Chancel
lor, through Kenneth R. Keller,
adviser to The Daily Nebraskan.
Keller, Dr. R. V. Shumate,
chairman of the Board, end
William C. Harper, Board mem
ber, met Friday with Nicholl
and other administrative offi
cials to determine details of the
proposal.
The $2,000 offer resulted from
a meeting of three University
students with Chancellor R. G.
Gustavson and Nicoll. The stu
dents were Goodrich; Sally Hall,
managing editor of the Daily
Nebraskan, and Ken Rystrom,
editorial page editor of The
Daily Nebraskan.
The students did not repre
sent either the Publications
Board, or its sub-committee, or
The Daily Nebraskan.
Nicoll, however, told Board
members meeting with him Sat
urday morning that he had as
sumed the students spoke for
the Board's sub-committee. He
later reaffirmed this to the
Daily Nebraskan.
The students acquainted the
Chancellor and Nicoll with the
financial problems of The Daily
Nebraskan and the sub-committee
report. The students
made no specific recommenda
tions. . Gustavson and Nicoll said
they would take the matter un
der advisement.
The first hint that the ad
ministration might take action
was Keller's report at Thurs
day's Board meeting.

Graduate Council Presents Views
The matter of the Doctorate of
Education degree to be adminis
tered by the University's Teachers
College is now a closed issue as
the result of the Regent's meeting
Saturday.
C. Y. Thompson of West Point,
president of the University's
Board of Regents, . had indicated
earlier in the week that the de
gree, approved by the Board this
spring, would be brougnt up ior
discussion at the Regent's meeting
Saturday.
At the meeting, the Regents re-
fused to reconsider the Doctorate
of Education and 'felt that the
degree was logical and that the
matter should be dropped."
The discussion arose originally
When the Teachers college pre
sented a program of the Doctorate
of Education degree to tne uraau
ate Faculty for consideration. The
Graduate College stated that they
did not approve of the program.
The program was then appealed
to the Board of Regents. The
Board granted the Teachers Col
lege the right to give a Doctorate
degree but did not go on record as
to the program or requirements
to be followed and fulfilled.
Regents Decision
The Graduate Council, a com
mittee from the Graduate Fac
ulty, asked to appear before the
Board of Regents to give their
views on the degree and the pro
gram to be followed. As a result
of this hearing, the Board of Re
gents stated that the matter is
closed and that the program will
stand as it is presently.
Thompson said both sides of the
question had been discussed by
the Board. He said the discussion
Saturday on the newly-approved
education doctorate was rjnei.
Relations, said that he had "no
comment" on the issue and re
frained from making public his
stand on the issue.
Frank Henzlik. dean of the Uni
versity Teachers College, said that
the Doctorate of Education de
gree, under preparation for seven
years, was rejected by the coun
cil of the Graduate College three
times. The Graduate College, ac
cording to Henzlik, has refused to
administer the degrees on the
basis of three objections to the
degree. These concerned the ma
jor and minor field of study re
quirement for a doctor's degree,
the language requirements and
the practical as opposed to pure
research in the field.
Walter Militzer, dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences,
said, "The faculty of the College
of Arts and Sciences will certainly
abide by the decisions of the
Board of Regents in the matter of
the Doctorate of Education de
gree. The College is basically no
more mvoivea wnn xne uugiee
than ' the other colleges. The
prime interest in the degree
one of the Graduate College."

perience under the supervision of

D. Ed. Requirements

Board of Regents, as they stand
at present, include:
1. Meeting the "same general
requirements for admission to the
Graduate Division of Teachers
College as are prescribed for ad

"What do you think of the ac
tion taken by the Committee on
Student Publications Saturday.
They decided to cut publication of
The Daily Nebraskan next semes
ter from four times weekly to
three times weekly.
The alternate choice was to
publish a four-day tabloid size
paper."
This was the question posed to
the students whose comments
upon the boards action follow:
Natalie Nelson, freshman in
Teachers: "How odd' It's just stu
pid! They may as well let the
journalism classes put out the pa
per it'll all be dead news. It'll
turn into a high school paper."
Walter Wright, sophomore in
Business Administration and stu
dent member of the Publications
Board: "It seemed to me that it
was a matter of either cutting
back this year or next. If we had
waited until next year, the Pub
lications Board reserve fund
would have been completely de
pleted. So, it seems to me, that if
we cut now it would be possible
to revert back to a four or five
issue-a-week paper sometime in
tne luture.
"The main reason the cutback
has been made is because there
is no competition for the printing
oi xne paper."
Rocky Yapp, lumor in Asr:
-mars terrible. The vaver is an
intregal part of camrms life. I
think students would be willing
to pay ior live issues a week if
they were given the opportunity."
Agnes Anderson. Teachers
sophomore: "Why? It's a shame, I
ininic a taoioia would have been
better there's nothing worse than
deaa news! What's this school
coming to?"
Marv Stromer, Bizad. soDho-
more: "It seems to me the cut will
deprive students of full campus
news coverage. I would be in fa
vor of raising part of the tuition
to cover tne cost of publishing a
uauy,
Eleanor GnilHatt, Arts and Sci.
ences, sophomore: "The Daily Ne-
DrasKan is a way of keeping up
on campus news and an issue
three days a week will cut the
coverage too much."
Hile Goodrich, graduating sen
ior in Arts and Sciences, and stu
dent member of the Publications
Board: "It is a particularly un-
rortunate situation that a Univer
sity the size of Nebraska cannot
support a daily newspaper. How
ever, the Pub Board had little
choice in the matter since accent
ing the Administration offer of a
$2,000 grant would have meant
taking a gamble that advertising
revenue would increase $600 the
first semester.
But, as a member of the Board
and as one of three students who
discussed the financial difficul
ties of the paper with the Chan
cellor and Bruce Nicoll, I should
like to express my personal grati
tude for the efforts these two men
made to settle the problem."
Jackie Switzer, Teachers sopho
more: "I don't think as many
students will be as attracted to
work on a paper which is only
published three times a week."
Jean Steffen, Teachers sopho
more: "It will deprive students
of campus and national news they
should know, since it's the only
paper many students read. It isn't
fair!"

The award honors the outstand

have been assured of consultation
in the selection of a new chan
cellor.
As the result of a petition sub
mitted by the deans of the vari
ous colleges at the Board oi lie'
gents meeting Saturday, the Board
issued a statement providing for
the selection of . a faculty com
mittee to serve the Board in nom.
inating Chancellor R. G. Gustav.
son's successor.
The committee consists of from
four to six faculty members se
lected by the faculty liaison and
policy committees under the au
thorization of the D acuity senate.
The liaison committee met pre
ceding the Regents meeting, con
sidered 25 faculty members for
appointment and decided upon a
committee of from four to six
members.
Niles Barnard, chairman of the
liaison committee, said the faculty
group is ready "to go to work"
as soon as they receive a formal
invitation from the Regents. The
invitation came after the closed.
Regents meeting Saturday in the
form of a press statement out a
formal invitation is expected to
come Tuesday, Barnard said.
According to Barnard, the com
mittee members were chosen from
faculty members "who know the
University fairly well ... are
broad minded . . . and are familiar
with sources of chancellor ma
terial the country over."
The petition placed before the
Board of Regents resulted from
action taken by faculty members
who circulated petitions after
they had been informed "by au
thentic sources" that the Regents
might name Dr. George W. Rosen
lof as temporary or permanent
chancellor without consulting a
faculty committee. The Board had
scheduled the Saturday meeting
earlier "to consider a temporary
or permanent chancellor" and
only after the meeting was the
provision for an assisting faculty
committee announced.
The petition presented to the
Board of Regents by the faculty
read:
"In view of information re
ceived and acting, we believe,
in the best interests of the Uni
versity, we the undersigned, as
members of the faculty of the
University of Nebraska, petition
tne Board of Regents:
"1. Not to appoint G. "W. Rosen-
lof as chancellor or as acting
"2. That in the selection of the
chancellor for the University:
"A. No action thereon be taken
except as in conformity with the
announced intent of the Board of
Regents to consult with the fac
ulty through its constituted com
mittee. "B. Such consideration by the
Board of Regents and a faculty
committee shall be maintained in
line with the established practice
at the University since the resig
nation of Chancellor Boucher."
The action taken by the Board
of Regents Saturday was released
in a formal press statement:
1. Set in motion the machinery
needed to carefully select a suc
cessor to the chancellorship which
included an invitation to the fac
ulty of the University to appoint
a committee to offer the Regents advice.
their services as to possible nomi
nees for the position.
2. Set in motion machinery
needed to select an interim chan
cellor and in this respect to invite
the services of a committee repre
senting the faculty on possible
nominees ior this position.
3. voiced appreciation to the
friends of the University for their
interest in selection of a new chan
cellor.
The faculty group felt that in
view of the Regents' statement
calling the meeting for the pur
pose of "appointing a temporary
or permanent chancellor," at that
time the interests of the faculty
would not be represented and the
Regents would be acting in non
accordance to established pro
cedures, that is, excluding faculty
must, not a' luxury! (Cutting down
to three issues weekly would
necessarily mean 25 per cent less
news coverage. As far as insuf
ficient funds, if every other or
ganization has had a budget in
crease o. k. from the University
the Daily Nebraskan by all means
should have one also!"
Marshall Kushner, junior in
Business Administration and stu
dent member of the Publication
Board: "I was rather disap
pointed at the outcome of the vote.
The action virtually killed The
Daily "Nebraskan. I certainly hope
we can reinstate a four-issue-a-week
paper next year.
Glenn Rosenquist, Arts and
Sciences senior: "I think a tobloid
would be much better. When I
was a freshman we had a tabloid
and it worked out fine. The paper
would be less wordy, which would
be a good deal."

Stepanek, Raymond Join
'Nebraskan' Nominee List
Orin Stepanek, English instrue
tor, and Ruth Roymand, senior
journalism student, have been
nominated for this semester's
Outstanding Nebraska awards.
Stepanek and Miss Raymond
join Glenn Rosenquist in the run
ning for The Nebraskan awards

and one faculty member, will be
selected by staff members and an
nounced in Friday's paper.
The letter nominating Stepanek
said, "We, as students, have been
impressed by his devotion to us.
We suspect that not too many
teachers who have taught as long
as he has, work daily to prepare
lectures for us; but we know that
Mr. Stepanek not only does this.
but also finds time to read the
papers we turn in.
"We think that no other fac
ulty person deserves this award
as much as does Mr. stepanek."
Stepanek, associate professor of
English, has been teaching at the
University since 1S20.
The other nominee, Miss Ray
mond, is past editor of The Daily
Nebraskan and senior attendant to
the May Queen.
The letter nominating her said.
"We feel that in her senior year
Ruth probably has been the out
standing woman on the campus,
for as the first semester editor of
The Nebraskan, she rose quickly
to defend the right of our profes
sors and students to be free of
any dogmatic indoctrination and
through her editorials she helped
to maintain their freedom in the
classroom, to examine critically all
that they study.
"Ruth has made further contri
butions to the campus, besides
editing a good paper, by partici
pating throughout her three years
here in the activities of several
extra-curricular organizations."
The first nominee, Rosenquist,
is a member of the Innocents So
ciety, past vice president of the
Inter-fraternity Council, member
of the Junior Class Council, and

of the nominee's qualifications for
the honor. All University students
and faculty members, with the ex
ception of former recipients and
staff members, are eligible for

Committee, Dr. Gus
View Paper Slice
Cutting the Daily Nebraskan to
three issues a week,, although re
gretted by faculty and Publica
tions Board members as well as
students, was felt to be absolute
economic necessity.
R. V. Shumate, professor of po
litical science and chairman of
the Board of Publications, ex
plained that the Board would like
to have a full-size five-day-a-
week paper, but the University
just can't support it. "It was a
hard choice to make," he said,
but I don't see how it would
be justified running a paper at
such a large deficit." The deficit,
the continued, was due to the de
cline in student enrollment and
the inadequacy of advertising
revenue.
Other alternatives suggested
were an outright subsidy from the
University or an increase in stu
dent fees. "The $2,000 offer from
the University was not accepted
because the offer was contingent
and valid only if the advertising
revenue increased $1,200 next
year, which is not likely," Shu
mate said. "Even that subsidy
would not have wiped out the
deficit," he added, "for The Daily
Nebraskan has suffered a loss of
$5,000 to $6,000 this year." "I am
in favor of restoring the Daily
Nebraskan to a four-day publica
tion, however, if there is any pos
sible means," he said.
Chancellor R. G. Gustavson,
who promised to explore every
possible alternative, declared "I
am very much concerned about
it. "I think a fine, independent,
courageous student newspaper is
essential to a good University.
Whatever academic freedom may
mean to be faculty, the right of
the students to express themselves
is equally important. I don't want
to see the paper cut if there is
any way it can be avoided. A free
newspaper is a terribly essential
part of keeping the University
sound and democratic,' he said.
The Chancellor pointed out that
the main objection to a Univer-;
sity subsidy has usually been that
subsidies carry a certain amount
of control with them. Hoping to
keep the paper unrestricted, he
indicated that there might be a
possibility of making a grant
which has no strings attached.
Dr. Nathan B. Blumberg, as
sistant professor of journalism and
member of the Publications Board,
said, "We held off as long as pos
sible. The step was taken with
great regret by the Board and
we hope the day will arrive when
we can go back on a full-time
schedule."
"The decision was purely an
economic one," Frank HaUgren,
assistant dean of student affairs
and Board member, said. "When
you get to the bottom of your
reserve, there is only one thing
you can do," he added. He said
that if the students would rather
have a tabloid published four
times a week, the Board would
probably agree to that arrange
a larger paper but this was a
matter of economic necessity," he
concluded.
As the arrangement now stands,
The Daily Nebraskan will be pub
lished every Tuesday, Wednesday
and Friday. Hoping to spur the
advertising revenue, the Board
has set up the experiment of four
assistant business managers and
a commission basis of payment.
The personal and financial stake
in the advertising should result in
improved performance, it is felt
concerned about the inadequate
advertising ,Dr. William Swindler.
director of the school of journal
ism, stated "A University of this
size should definitely have a daily
paper. Lincoln business people are
cutting tneir own throats if they
don't advertise in The Daily Ne
braskan because this is -the only
local paper students read. It's a
$21,000,000 annual market that's
going begging."
