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

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

Doodle" on January 19 at 5
p.m.
Kathie Madsen, committee
chairman said, "This event is
sponsored by the Student Un

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

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

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.
