A statement concerning dis cussion of "teacher college coordination" which appeared in a story in the Daily Ne braskan Monday has come under fire by Dr. Leo Thom as, Kearney State dean of. in struction. Thomas stated that "any story that college adminis trations have talked about a program of greater co-ordination than now exists is sim ply not true." f However, a mimeographed statement which California educator Dr. Lymar. A. Glen ny made available to the press before he left the state in December points out that the question of teacher col lege coordination was among those which educators throughout the state had asked him to study. Glenny's statement said this question along with others, was "gained from the response of state institutions to questionnaires, from a week of interviewing presi dents and other officers of public and private institutions in the state, and from con versations with several Sena tors and other public officials." NU Next to Smallest of Big 8; Oklahoma Tops Enrollment A recent report has shown that Nebraska has the next smallest school in the Big Eight conference, enrolment wise. Leading the pack is Oklahoma with 11,753 fol lowed closely by Colorado with 11,174. The remaining schools in descending order are Kansas, Missouri, Okla homa State, Iowa State, Ne braska and Kansas State. Once Ranked Sixth In 1951 Nebraska ranked sixth in size with Missouri on top and Oklahoma second in enrollment. Twenty years ago the Cornhusker school was only 94 students short of the largest school by en rollment, at that time, Okla homa. The per cent of change in enrollment for the 1940-1960 period for Nebraska is lowest in the Big Eight even though none of the tax supported universities have had remark' able or unusual growth. Nebraska's per cent of change was 32.7 per cent while Colorado, a school that draws almost 50 per cent of its enrollment from other states, was highest for YWCA Constitution All YWCA members are requested to meet in rooms 338 and 341 Student Union Thursday at 4 p.m. Constitutional changes must be approved by the membership and the voting win be done at that time. Ag YW-Y3I To Fry Doughnuts Friday Dr. John Goodding, advis er for the Ag YM-YWCA, will host the Ag "Y" at a dough nuts-fry Friday night at 7 p.m. Transportation will be pro vided and all members are asked to be at the Ag Cotner School of Religion promptly at 7 p.m., according to Neal Grothen, Ag YMCA member. Educational Television has asked the Federal Communi cations Commission to reserve channels 13 at Alliance, 9 at North Platte, 4 at Kearney, 3 at Bassett and 8 at Albion for this purpose. These channels combined would blanket 90 per cent of the state, the council says Dr. Steven N. Watkins of Lincoln, president of the Ne braska Council, said the FCC request represents the first step in creation of a state wide educational television network. "The loss of these channels to commercial interests would not only restrict, but in effect prohibit the extension of edu cational services through tele vision to a major portion of the state," Dr. Watkins said.

Fans Tidier, Calmer Now Than 10 Years Ago By Hal Brown Basketball fans at Nebras ka game are becoming less of a problem for the custodians, according to Earl Clark, University custodian. "Today's fans are much neater than the fans of 10 or 20 years ago," Clark said as he began clean-up chores Tuesday morning following iMonday night's basketball game. One reason for the decrease in cleanup problems, accord ing to Clark, is that fans don't buy as many soft drinks and other concession products. "The fans don't get as ex cited now as they did several years ago," Clark comment ed. "A few years ago, the fans would buy a soft drink Union Will Show Chinese Art Films The Student Union arts and exhibits committee will sponsor the films "Darkness into Light", "'The Story of Chinese Art" and "Boogie Doodle" on January 19 at 5 p.m. Kathie Madsen, committee chairman said, "This event is sponsored by the Student Un ion arts and exhibits com mittee to increase campus in terest in the cultural oppor tunities offered to the campus." and after drinking a little of it, they would get excited and away would go the Coke." A 17-man custodian crew goes to work each morning following a basketball game. The crew completes the Job in about one and one-half hours with about 17 barrels of trash to be removed. The cleaning crew is re duced to six members on Sundays and the tasks takes approximately four hours, ac cording to Clark. Lost Items After each game there is the usual number of lost items including purses, combs, hats, pipes, nd glasses, Clark said. "We find nearly everything except money. No one seems to lose money anymore," Clark observed. "Maybe it's because they don't have it to lose." The veteran custodian com pared the task of cleaning up to brushing one's teeth. 4We have no trouble, and the complete job goes smoothly, he said. "Every man has a specific task, and he ' does it." The biggest problems oc cur during the state high school tournament, according to Clark. "Cleaning up after a college game is simple compared to the high school tournament crowds," he concluded. FANS ARE TIDY? After almost an hour and a half of cleaning up in the Coliseum after Monday's basketball game, the corridors are filled with battered pop cups, popcorn megaphones and miscellaneous personal itjms, a 'reminder of $,000 fans of the night before.

Singers Auditions To Fill Vacancies Auditions for a limited num ber of vacancies in the Uni versity Singers will be held' Saturday, 10-12 a.rav in 206 Music Building, according to Earl Jenkins, director of Sing ers. Students from sophomore through graduate standing are elieible for audition. j Jerkins added that the Sing-' ers rehearse at 11 a.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Fri day in annex two. the 20 year period with a 172.8 per cent change. What do these figures mean? According to Chancel lor Clifford M. Hardin any meaning thus far is problem atic and vague, i "I really cant say what these figures mean," Hardin said when asked why Nebras ka's enrollment rate was th slowest for the last decade. "I have a feeling, as I have said before, that the answer might be in the economics of the state. I'm perfectly cer tain something is not inher ently wrong in the insti tution," he added. Possible Answers Some of the possible an swers might be that Kansas, Colorado and Missouri all had population increases greater than Nebraska. Ur banization in other states, ac cording to the report printed in tne Lincoln bunday Journal and Star, exceeds that of Ne braska. The meaning here is that the larger the communi ty, the larger number of stu dents who go on to higher education. One other reason Nebraska may be lower in total num bers than others is the re cruiting program and how much rt is stressed. Colorado, for instance, has recruiters and as . a result have nearly as many outstate students as they do in-state students. Nebraska, on the other hand, "turns away quite a few," Chancellor Har din noted in the report. Hardin further explained that .these .figures .do .not alarm him. He explained that he has -a "curious interest" instead. With the data now avail- able, such as the last census figures which have not vet been exhausted, there may be some study for analysis of the reason why Nebraska is low and if these figures mean anything, according to Har din. Alpha Zeta Sells College Attendance Promotion of the University and encouragement of high school seniors to attend col lege is one of the new pro jects taken on by Alpha Zeta, agricultural honorary. The project began over the Christmas vacation this year as Deem stuoimam, Alpha Ze ta, and Marion G. McCreight, Alpha Zeta advisor, visited Wisner High School to encour age Students tn art an A lege. According to McCreight, the purpose of these visits is to acquaint the students with the college and to help answer some of the questions, the high school seniors might have. He said the project began last year and about 15 schools were visited, but plans this year include con siderable expansion in th program. He said the program would continue through the spring semester but would be hit hardest during the spring va cation, when Alpha Zeta mem bers could go to their home town high schools and to neighboring high schools. Th members make contacts in advance with the high school rather then just drop in on them, he said. Most of the students hava asked the Alpha Zeta mem bers about University life in general. Such topics as ROTC, dormitories, fraternities, pri vate homes, costs and trans ferring from junior colleges are frequently brought up, he said.
