Terry Proposes
Jr. College Use
Senator Terry Carpenter will propose a bill in the
Unicameral which would allow the University to buy or
lease the state's four junior colleges.
The Scottsbluff senator said that the four colleges
at Scottsbluff, McCook, Fairbury and Norfolk are sup
ported by local school districts.
State Responsibility
Noting that the financial support of
the schools is becoming too much of a
burden, he suggested that their support
should be "the responsibility of the state
and not the local taxpayer."
Dr. A. C. Breckenridge, University
dean of faculties, said that although Car
penter discussed the bid several weeks
ago with Chancellor Clifford Hardin,
neither administrator has seen the finished
bill.
The bill would cause a major change in state policy,
he said, and the decision will be in the hands of the Legis
lature. Regents Opinion
He added that he could not appraise the bill without
first hearing the views of the members of the Board of
Regents and the Junior Colleges.
Dr. Freeman Decker, chairman ef the State Depart
ment of Education, commented that he is not aware of other
situations ia which state universities have purchased junior
colleges though other universities, such as the University of
California and the University of Wisconsin, operate
branches la other areas of the state.
He added, however, that junior colleges in many states
receive partial support from the state, while Nebraska jun
ior colleges are locally supported.
Dean Breckenridge said that the Regents plan to at
tempt to have a bill introduced into Legislature which would
allow the University to offer other off-campus college
courses, though no action has been taken as yet.

house was to nominate two
candidates for Homecoming
queen who are juniors with
at least 5.5 averages.
2. The interviewing board
consisting of eight persons
would contain two Tassels,
the president and vice presi
dent, instead of the three Tas
sels previously on the board.
The third Tassel would be re
placed on the board by tha
captain of the football team,
or some other representative
!of the team.

would select 10 instead of
