Burton Letter Text
Following is an abbreviated text of the letter submitted
by Herbert Burton, general manager of radio station KFMQ,
to the Board of Regents, criticizing the purchasing practices
of the University. The letter was dated Oct. 24.
Dear Sirs:
"I would like to call your attention to a matater which
has caused me great concern. It is with regard to the mat
ter in which the Purchasing Departmemnt of the Uninversity
conducts its buying of services or products. It is my opinion
that as a result of an experience I've just had, that a little
soul searching might ' be in order. J would like to sug
gest that the letting of small bids might be handled in con
formity with standard practices . . . Here is what has hap
pened in my situation-:
"Radio KFMQ is a broadcasting station whose purpose and
policy is to provide as much service as possible to the com
munity. In order to do this it is necessary for us to search out
another source of income. We have chosen to provide back
ground music to stores and institutions for a monthly fee as
the source of income.
"Recently I received a phone call from Mr. (Eugene) In
gram of your Purchasing Department. He asked me to send
him or Al Bennett (managing director) of the Student Union,
a bid or proposal for Background Music (sic) to be broadcast
into the Student Union. He told me he had already received
a bid from Muzak and would like to get one from us.
"I brought my bid or proposal addressed to AI Bennett,
and brought a copy to Mr. Ingram's office. Our bid was $45.00
plus federal tax, at which time I was informed the Muzak
proposal called for a substantially higher rate. After a week
had passed, I spoke to Mr. Ingram and he Informed me that
Muzak had reduced their bid to $49 plus federal tax for FM
Broadcast (sic) music.
"But they also offered about $500 worth of advertising
over their bid which he felt warranted the contract going to
them. We at KFMQ have given the U of N (sic) over $1,000
in air time at no cost and felt we did it as a public service,
and it didn't occur to usto send the U of N a bill.
"This service we feel is the responsibility of all radio sta
tions and furthermore we are totally unable to conceive of
the nature of commercial enterprise conducted by the Student
Union which necessitates paid advertising! (sic) Also, if Mr.
Ingrain had told us it was to include advertising we would
have told him we would do as we had in the past, give it to
the U of N as a public service.
"We can assume only that the Student Union was not
interested in getting the lowest and best bid for the service,
on the contrary I feel that the management was simply us
ing the KFMQ-Sonics proposal as a target for "bait bid" with
the intention at all times of preferring its competitor. Either
situation I thhink to be equally reprehensible.
"I expect and anticipate that hereafter the statutory pro
cedure for bidding by public contract will be followed."
Very truly yours,
Herbert V. Burton

committee's concern that no
official investigation be made
until the Board had been noti
fied of the procedure.
Diana Maxwell, member of
the Advisory Board and ed
itor of the Daily Nebraskan,
pointed out that the paper
was privileged to report the
open meeting of the Board.
"Logical Procedure"
Allen H. Bennett, director
of the Nebraska Union, said,
"It was my recommendation
, to the Activities Committee
! in light of the growing dissen
; tion of opinion that they could
! get together with the Board.
Preventing further study by
the Board until, the meeting
with the Board. of Managers
"seemed to be the only logical
procedure," Bennett added.
The contention arose from
! the fact that the Board is a
: study group.
Bennett admitted that it
: was and that it would have
complete access to any infor
mation.
Protesting any curtailment
i Miss Maxwell said, "This is
precisely the intent of the
! study. We can't give intelli-
gent advice without informa
tion." At this point Bennett and
the two Advisory representa
i fives disagreed over the in
! terpretation of the Board's
constitution which states that
it shall advise in areas of
programming and budgeting.
Jensen said he thought' the
Board should be able to study
any phase of the Union pro
gram which students thought
might be improved. He added
the present system or select
ing Activities committee
! members and chairmen on a
j "vertical basis" was . one
j some Students had com
j plained about,
i Ten Groups
Bennett countered that he
didn't think this organization
study was included in the constitution.
SPEEDWAY MOTORS
1719 N $. LINCOLN, NEBR.
Speed Equipment
got their first taste Thursday
of a new combination jazz
and poetry.
Mixing the talents of a sex
tet jazz combo and Mrs. Bon
na Tebo Hayes, Ernest Hines
and John Marshall as poety
readers, the program changed
Union atmosphere to one of
an intimate espresso house.
A perfect blend of the mu
sic and reading came with
Mrs. Hayes presentation of
"God's Grandeur," a spring
rhythm poem by G. M. Hop
kins. In a not so ideal vein, the
combo clashed with the Calvin-preacher
tones of Hines
as he read "Lament" accom
panied by the swinging notes
of Duke Ellington's "Black
and Blue." '
Carl Sandburg's "Tales,"
read by Hines, combined
beautifully with "Lullaby of
the Leaves," in a lighter
form.
The mood of the audience
changed with the mode of
the music as the combo
switched from drowsy to foot
tapping jazz more than once.
Paul Leacox, drummer;
Mary Ann Marshall, pianist;
Frank Tirro, saxophonist;
Ron T r o m b 1 a, t rum
pet ist; John Marshall, bassist
and Del Whitcomb, guitarist,
made up the sextet.
