NSA Resolution Introduced
Heated conflict over the as
sociation of the University
with the United States Na
tional Student Association
(NSA) was forecast yesterday
In btudent Council.
A motion by member ' John
Nolon to associate the L'm
versity with the controversial
NSA was tabled by Nolon
that a comprehensive study
could be . made of the NSA

University and Capitol build
ing at Lincoln. Pretty cool,
isn't it!"
Despite this, on, June 26 the
first commencement ex
ercises were held, although
no one graduated. The ad
dress was given by the Hon.
iL JL Woolworth of Omaha,
and an honorary doctor of
law degree was conferred on
Bishop Clarkson of Omaha.
The Omaha Herald criti
cized the school again, in the
Oct 24, 1872 issue of The Ex
press. The report said, "The
Herald attacks with the asnal
combination of ferocity and
fnstian, saying it costs the
taxpayers of the state $40,000
per annum to educate 100
boys and girls at Lincoln in
a high school which is digni
fied by the name of a Uni
versity. How do they like that
luxnrj?
Chancellor Benton called
the report a "misrepresenta
tion" of facts. He was quoted
in The Express as saying, "It
costs only $13,000 to educate
130 students. The University
is educating as cheaply as the
Universities of Minnesota and
Missouri which have been es
tablished for several years.
NU Praised
"The University of Nebras
ka is not inferior to them in
efficiency of its appointments
and in economy to the state."
The Express attacked the
Herald's remarks, also.
"There is nothing of which
the people of this state are
so justly proud," the article
said, "and nothing which ex
cites more surprise and ad
miration in those w ho visit
our state, as the University.
The people of Nebraska
have shown an interest in ed
ucation which is truly re
markable. They have laid the
foundations of our education
al system, broad and deep.
They have said by their acts
that the generation which is
to come after them shall have
the opportunity to become
wiser and better than them
selves. Determination
"They' have taken bold f
this matter in earnest, and
it win take more than the
ravings of a disappointed pol
itician to make them turn
back."
'The Lincoln Leader," The
Express reported, "says the
University is about to fafl.
the foundation of the building
have been discovered to be
crumbling."
"The (Lincoln) Journal
comes vigorously to the de
fease of the building, saying
that aithmgh the foundation
of the north wall and the
north wing has settled some,
there is not the least danger
of anything faffing.
"The Board of Regents con
siders that the foundation
should be repaired, however,
and wiH take steps to that
end immediately." '
101 Enrollment
As far as enrollment was
concerned, it didn't increase
during the first years but
averaged consistently about
109.
The state Medical Society
and the Bar Assn. studied the
possibilities of Medical and
Law schools which were later
established.

The University of Nebraska
has never been affiliated with

The USNSA may well
serve definite functions for
the Student governing body

area of student interest on
the University of Nebras

well as benefiting all areas
of student government;
THEREFORE
I move that the Student
Council of the University
of Nebraska affiliate with
the USNSA.

Editorial
Dr. Robert J. Cranford, pro
fessor of journalism, is the
author of the lead editorial
in February's issue of the
QuilL
This is the national maga
zine of Sigma Delta Chi, pro
fessional journalism frater
nity. His editorial encourages
a professional attitude in
v m-
Dr. Cranford
journalism and a dedication
to seek ovt the truth and pre
sent it in perspective.
"The best time to instill a
professional attitude into a
newsman is while be is still
preparing for fcis career,"
Cranford says. While some
newspapers have good train
ing programs, -others do not;
and on many papers the top
editors are too busy to train
cubs."
Dr. Cranford, who has 30
yeais of experience "oa both
sides of the fence," as a
journalist and an educator,
points out that most modern
journalism schools place
heavy emphasis on a broad
general education. He also
says that they generally re
quire that betw een 75 and SB
per cent of a student's time
should be spent in general
study. and 28 to 25 per cent
in journalism techniques.

to assist the Council in mak
ing its decision.
A study committee of Coun
cil and student body mem
bers will be formed immedi
ately to begin investigation of
NSA. It win report to the
Council periodically during
the next two months as it
collects and analyzes infor
mation on NSA.
Student Committee
Students interested in serv
ing on this study committee
are asked to submit a letter
immediately stating this in
tention to Council President
Steve Gage.
The NSA committee should
conduct open hearings in the
evening when students could
testify or express their
thoughts on NSA, suggested
Jim Samples, second vice
president. Samples reported that the
Council dies in the NSA will
be approximately $150 a year.
"Debate over the NSA af
filiation win set up a prece
dent in action and purpose
for the Public Issues commit
tee," said Nolon, chairman on
the committee.
A Congress of all NSA
member schools meets an
nually to propose and approve
policies and actions to be car
ried on by the National Ex
ecutive Council (NEC) during
the coming year.
The NEC has been severely
criticized by Kay WonderEc,
Northwestern University stu
dent opponent of NSA, for its
arbitrary choice of which of
the many policies and ac
tions approved by the Con-
TD fAWEff BITO ore.
