SEATON SPEAKS While Governor Frank Morrison
looks on in background, GOP gubernatorial candidate
Fred Seaton addresses NU students and guests.
800 Attend
Gov. Candidates
Clash on Issues
In their first campaign debate, Gov. Frank Morrison
and Fred Seaton, Republican gubernatorial hopefuls, ex
pressed conflicting viewpoints on financial support for ed
ucation and taxes Monday.
Debating before some 800 persons, each candidate
spoke for 15 minutes on questions which had been sub
mitted by the student body prior to the meeting. The
audience then submitted questions to. the moderator,
Adam Breckenridge, dean of faculties, to be answered by
the candidates.
In answer to the question, "How can the University
be built Into the outstanding educational institution of the
Midwest?" Gov. Morrison asked "Who said it wasn't?"
He asked the audience if any school in the Midwest has
a better record than the University and cited its achieve
ments in agricultural research, journalism, law, educa
tional television and extension service.
Seaton retorted that he "couldn't be satisfied until the
time came when the University can be considered, in
every area, the best in the Midwest." He enumerated
specific areas to which he would give special attention:
salaries sufficient enough to hold the most qualified fac
ulty and attract, in the immediate future, the same kind;
additional modern and efficient classroom facilities; and
he promised "personal efforts to attract a great deal
more in research grants."
Budget Misses
Seaton related that only two governors in the last 15
years failed to get from the legislator the appropriations
they recommended for the University. Gov. Morrison
missed it by several million dollars, he said.
The Governor retorted that "No other Governor in
the history of the state ever recommended a full budget
for the University." He also pointed out that the Legisla
ture did appropriate three million dollars more than it
did the previous biennium for the University.
"I would expect to obtain from the legislature the
money necessary for the University and the state teachers
colleges," promised Seaton.
When asked about federal aid to education, Governor
Morrison said that everybody knows that the state has it,
but that he wanted it to be allocated through the state so
that local people will remain responsible for it.
Uncle Sam's Money
Seaton replied with "Wherever Uncle Sam's money
goes, that's where his influence goes."
The GOP nominee said he would "work for simplifi
cation and recodification of this Chinese maze of tax
laws, and get a full-time Tax Commissioner" who has no
other duties. . . A u t. -
The Governor said, "This so-called tax mess has been
so successful that we have the lowest per capita (state)
tax m the nation and are one of only two states that has
lowered their per capita tax in the last two years. I m
very happy to be that kind of a failure."
Both candidates stated their opposition to general
sales and income taxes.
Seaton said that the state constitution gives the Gov
ernor the responsibility of being director of the Depart
ment of Roads and that he shall accept this and not dele
gate it to an advisory committee. "I will make the deci
sions myself." he stated.
Highway Construction
Nebraska ranks behind in the progress of its Inter
state Highway construction, and its percentage of roads
with dust surfaces, said Seaton. He also remarked that
the high number of highway fatalities must be stopped.
Morrison stated that "the largest highway program
in history," was initiated under his administration, and
that progress on the Interstate has been stepped up and
that his safety program .is one of the most complex in
Nebraska's history.
Support by both candidates was given to:

'Develop Whole Person9-
Education Expert
Addresses Students
In his speech yesterday Dr.
Nevitt Sanford emphasized
that colleges should concen
trate on development of a
whole person and not just a
narrow portion of an indivi
dual's intellect.
Dr. Sanford, who has done
research on higher education
from many angles, feels that
education in America should
become more liberal. He said
that the main fault of Ameri
can education is its "failure
to develop human personali
ties and potential."
Dr. Sanford pointed out that
in this country technological
changes take place so fast
that many things which stu
dents learn in college are out
dated soon after graduation
or before graduation.
He added that this is the
reason that much more gen
eralized courses are needed.
"The more specialized the
college course or job the
more rapidly it will disap
pear," said Dr. Sanford. He
cited highly specialized grad
uate courses as examples.
Another point brought out
by Dr. Sanford was the idea
that instead of being trained
in college for specialized jobs
students should be taught the
skills of analyzing, generaliz
ing, adjusting, and learning.
He emphasized the impor
tance that students be taught
to continue learning after
graduation.
"Colleges should teach
things which will continue to
exist after the contents of the
1 1 I

education are forgotten' not
ed Dr. Sanford.
Sanford commented that
there is evidence that a per
son's personality changes
fundamentally at college. Stu
dents become more flexible,
broad minded, independent
and sophisticated on the ave
rage. He said that there is al
so evidence that growth along
these lines levels off soon aft
er college.
Currently director of tha
Institute for the Study of Hu
man Problems at Stanford
University, Dr. Sanford is
visiting Nebraska as part of
the national meeting of col
lege and university coun
selors. Faculty Quips
On Sanford Talk
Commenting on Dr. San
ford's speech, Dr. Robert
Stake of the educational psy
chology department stated:
"Dr. Sanford speaks for a
group of educators which has
not been popular in the last
few years."
"In the past years we have
paid too little attention to the
group's progressive education
ideas. I personally go along
with most of his ideas, but do
not think many of the faculty
do," he said.
Many other faculty mem
bers noted that the speech
was very interesting but did
not care to comment further.
