Draws 130 Men From
City
- By TOM McGINMS
Members of the Lincoln Po
lice Department are attend
ing the eighteenth annual Po
lice Training School at t h e
University Law College this
week.
According to Lt Dale
Adams, training officer for
the Police Department, ap
proximately 130 men are at
tending the refresher course,
which started Monday and
will end today.
He said that the purpose of
the school is to refresh expe-
during the conference the
with police headquarters, and
that they are dispatched im
mediately when a call comes
in. Several police cars are
kept in front of the Law Col
lege ready to go at a mo
ment's notice.
The subjects which are dis
cussed during the conference
include criminal laws, police
discipline, state traffic laws,
law of arrest, and rules of
evidence.
Prof. Broeder commented
that tbe conference is both
updating and refreshing for
the police officers. He said
that laws change so rapidly

What about car pools and
common carrier insurance?
These are big questions,
agrees Carl Donaldson, Uni
v e r s i t y business manag
er, "But the biggest problem
is the human one. Will stu
dents use the bus? A great
number of the inter-campus
bus fares are Uni-Place traf
fic." But we know that if it costs
a quarter to drive around
hunting a parking spot, and
only 15 cents to ride "to within
a couple blocks of your class,
then a lot of people will be
tempted to take the bus, says
Donaldson.
"I have the easiest job in
the project," says Donaldson,
"After someone else did a lot
of soul-searching and decided
that the need justifies buses
andor staggered classes, and
decided that the students are
ready for it, then I scrape up
enough money for $20,000
worth of buses and 120 hours
worth of weekly driving
help."
Ross Foresees Lag
G. Robert Ross, dean of
Student Affairs, foresees a
lag in student bus use of up
to three years.
At least, says Ross, buses
may alleviate classroom pres
sure peaks, and staggered
classes may alleviate cafete
ria rush hours.
According to Donaldson, the
University has had other ex

All that's known for sure,
says Eldridge, is that the
latest figures the ones for
last spring indicate a need
for inter-campus transporta
tion. "Ag students spent almost
4,000 hours a week in City
classrooms last spring, and
11,000 class-hours on Ag,"
said Eldridge.

"This is a conservative es
timate because only the first

but it indicates how many
students are going back and

"this doesn't mean that there
were 4,000 round trips be

do know that 124 Ag campus
commuters surveyed by the
Builders last year indicated a
dissatisfaction with their
means of transportation.
"For instance," he said,
"58 women in Burr Hall had

J-School Adds New Sequence
The School of Journalism will add
TV-Radio education as a third sequence
in their program next fall, announced
Walter Militzer, dean of the College of
Arts and Sciences.
He explained that the transfer from
the speech and dramatic arts department
will permit the Journalism School to
join the sequence of courses with news
editorial, advertising and broadcasting.
This will give the students a broader out
look and greater versatility in the area
of communications, he said.
Adequate classroom and laboratory
space for the expanded program will be
provided when the School of Journalism
moves to new quarters in Nebraska Hall
this summer.
Boyd Rooney, KUON-TV producer
director, will serve as a liaison man for
the station with the School of Journalism.
Speech department broadcast cours
es will continue for one more year to
permit advanced students to finish the
program under which they started. Dean
Militzer said. Students beginning their
education in the broadcast field will
enroll in the new School of Journalism
program.
Dr. Hall said that considerable
switching will allow the students to sam
ple and specialize in the area best suited
for them.
He said that the spring enrollment
is the largest since that of post World War
II. He expects out-of-state and in-state en
rollment to increase because of the pres
tige to the school.
The prestige of the school allows ca
reer opportunities for students that they
have not had before. Dr. Hall promised
that the school would not slacken pace
until the broadcasting program com
mands the same academic respect and
prestige that the news-editorial sequence
now enjoys.

and a monthly paper, the Hesperian (later the Daily

Opposition to the University came from criticism in
local newspapers. Tbe Beatrice Express said "The Omaha
Herald advised the burning of the State University and
Capitol building at Lincoln."

In 1272, the Express reported that "The Herald at
tacks with the usual combination of ferocity and fustian,
saying it costs the taxpayers of the state $40,000 per an
num to educate 100 boys and girls at Lincoln in a high
school which is dignified by tbe name of a University. How
do they like that luxury?"
The enrollment did not increase the first few years,
but averaged consistently about 100.
In its near-century of existence the University has
grown to eight colleges and from 100 students to 10,000
graduate and undergraduate students.
