Dr. Gustavson suggested reorganizing the University into four general areas of study; the physical sciences, the biological sciences ,the social sciences, and the humanities. I f I could change things overnight the way I would like to have them," he said, "I would like to eliminate the great num ber of small divisions in terms of colleges that we have at. the University of Nebraska and I would try to concentrate on four divisions. I really feel that if one could accomplish that, it would help on the problem of seeing the University as a whole. Old Nebraska Newspapers Suggest 'The Good Old Days' Weren't So Good By JOYCE JOHNSON "The good old days" was brought into focus when old, forgotten Nebraska newspa pers were recently brought out f hiding by the curious Sum mer Nebraskan staff. The Omaha Daily News in 1913 carried an ad featuring Stuart's Dysepsia , Tablets which "promptly end flatutency, heart bum, dizziness, sick headache, dyspepsia, burning sensation, brash fermentation and the other ills attendant upon a disordered stomach. Another ad in the same paper provoked this profound thought: a strange, mysteri ous power in a remarkable blood medicine that finds its way through the circulation by what is known as Divine Selection..
