Gustavson Advocates
Simplifying University
Retiring Chancellor R. G.
Gustavson believes Nebraskans
would do well to consider sim
plifying the organization of the
University of Nebraska.
In a farewell radio interview
en the Nebraska Network's
"Your University Speaks" pro
gram. 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.. The remedy is
Swift's Sure Specific or SJ5.S."
The Daily Nebraskan in 1909
lso contained choice advertise-

"If a man wanted to study
medicine, for example, he would
merely choose from the division
of the biological sciences those
diciplines that lead to the study
of medicine. Someone who
wanted to study journalism in
particular instead of having a
narrow outlook, he would per
haps choose from a very much
larger offering from the Uni
versity than is now possible."
The former chancellor said he
was not making his proposal as
a sure-fire cure-all, but that he
did believe his suggestion would
eliminate a great deal of dupli
cation. Dr. Gustavson said he believes
one of the greatest needs of
higher education is a survey of
the 11th and 12th grades of
high school to develop a pre
eollege training program which
would mesh smoothly with uni
versity and college study. j
11th St advertised in the Daily
Nebraskan that "they are pre
pared to satisfy you in any
student wants. If we haven't
what you want in stock we
know where to get it."
Expanding the campus was
also a m?in item in the Daily
1 Nebraskan in 1914. It was de
cided by vote of Nebraska citi
zens that the University would
stay on its present campus and
that the campus would be en
larged. "The fraternities which
had postponed the building of
new houses thinking that the
University might go to the farm,
will now have nothing to hinder
them in erecting new homes."
Freshmen in military train
ing were also a worry 39 years
ago. Li. Parker expressed fa
the Daily Nebraskan thai he
hoped the newly arrived mili
tary uniforms "in their gay
trim of red braid nay inject '
a spirit of pep in some fresh
men who have so far despised
drill nd create in them the
spirit of militarism.
Did someone say The GOOD
old days."
