search.
re
"He has lectured in Colum

pital, and in 1960 visited the
University of Edinburgh and
participated in the 100th anni
versary of the Swedish Dental
Society.
"Keys is the leader in
research and experimental
work now being done which
relates to the very important
consideration of surface

a very outstanding Nebras

Clare Porter called a letter
from State Agricultural Di
rector Pearle Finigan "unsat
isfactory" and said he would
comment in the near future
about the letter, concerning
the controversy over the
state's agresearch program.
Porter, a former University
Ag College faculty member,
earlier this year asked Gov
ernor Frank Morrison to have
the administration of the ag
research program transfer
red from the State Agricul
ture Department to the Uni
versity. Porter, who received the let
ter yesterday afternoon, said
he didn't have a comment to
make at that time, but would
have one in the near future.
"This letter definitely is un
satisfactorily," he said.
In the letter, Finigan said
the p r o g r a m has b e e n
successful, and noted that re
searchers have stated "we
are making exceptional pro
gress." Porter contends that ?300,
000 to $400,000 will be wasted
unless part of the research
program is resumed with the
University. He continues to be
dissatisfied with the "cutting
State Tour
By Curators
Starts Today
Twenty foreign museum di
rectors will arrive at the
University today to begin a
tour of some of the state's
major natural science, art
and history museum exhibits.
The foreign museum pro
fessionals are touring the
country under the auspices of
the American Association of
Museums (A. A.M.) and un
der the direction of Frank
Hammond, assistant director
of the A.A.M.
The delegation will visit
the Sheldon Memorial Art
Galelry, the University of Ne
braska State Museum, the
Nebraska State Historical So
ciety and the Joslyn Art
Museum.
Hammond, spokesman for
the group, said the visit was
planned at the University be
cause of its wide range of
museum and gallery exhibi
tions and because of its total
cultural impact of the mid
dle west.
A special dinner hosted by
the Nebraska Art Association
and the museums will be
prepared for the delegation
Wednesday evening at the
Sheldon Gallery.
Chancellor Clifford Hardin
will address the assembly at
noon tomorrow at the Student
Union.
The group will leave for

With the tremendous poten
tial of Nebraska both agricul
turally and in other industry
it doesn't make sense to spend
78 per cent or close to a mil
lion dollars outside the state
on research that is "highly
questionable," he continued.
"I have confidence in our
College of Agriculture. This
is where we will get our dol
lar value out of agricultural
research," Porter said.
Porter said his stand is not
politically inspired, and said
"I assume full personal re

stand that I have taken and
make no apology to anyone
for taking this action regard
less of one's political affilia

You wouldn't think that
two modern-day college stu
dents would be married in
a quaint garden setting in
a park, complete with flow

clothes, and with a 19th
century ceremony.
But this is exactly what
two University students will
be doing May 31.
Mary Grenz and Robert

as bride and groom for the

Finigan noted that the Legis

to transfer the funds.
Finigan also referred to a
1941 law which gives the Uni
versity authority to "conduct
research into uses of agricul
tural products. He said he did
not know if the University had
asked for funds for research
in industrial uses of agricul

Answer: In our opinion the
Department of Agriculture has
worked closely with the Col
lege of Agriculture on pro
jects where it is possible. As
a matter of fact, the dean
of the College of Agriculture
serves as a member of the
Research Advisory Commit
tee, as provided in LB722.
Q. Why was the College of
Agriculture seriously reduced
in their funds for the fiscal
year 1963-64 in relation to the
original agreements?
A. Our objectives were to
develop a variety of amylose
corn which had 80 per cent
amylose content. The Bear Hy
brid Corn Co. of Decatur ,111.,
had developed such a breed and
thus the corn breeding pro
ject at the University was
stopped. To continue our pro
ject at the University whose
research was behind what
others had done in the field
would be unnecessary, and
therefore a waste of tax dol
lars. Also, there were no
available tax funds.
Q. Why is the College of
Agriculture completely cut off
from additional LB722 tunds
beginning July 1, 1964.
A. Ag College does research
largely in production. Under
LB722 the Legislature took a
bold step forward in an at
tempt to find industrial uses
for agricultural products.
Q. Is agricultural research
a proper function of the De
partment of Agriculture?
A. In the 1963 Legislative
session, an amendment to
liams Loan Fund," in mem
ory of their late grandson who
attended the Curtis School.
Harry Haynie, Foundation
president, said the grandson
had graduated from the Cur
tis School of Agriculture and
attended the University for
one semester.
The new fund will make
loans to students for tuition,
fees, board and room, and
agricultural projects.
Former residents of Oma
ha, both Congressman and
Mrs. Harrison attended the
University. Mrs. Harrison was
the former Mary Newton of
Omaha. Congressman Har
rison's grandfathers were Al
vin Saunders, Territorial Gov
ernor and U.S. Senator from
Nebraska, and U.S. President
Benjamin Harrison.

of these funds to the College
of Agriculture was voted down

the Legislature's support of
the present approach. It fur

that the program should re

can be weighed and evaluated.

Year-Round Operation
Increasing In Schools
Chicago (CPS) An increasing trend towards year
round college operation was noted in a paper presented be
fore the Association for Higher Education (AHE)
"There is good
reason tol
believe that year-round cam
pus operation will expand
steadily in the years immedi
ately ahead," state the writ
ers of the paper, W. Hugh
Stickler and Milton Carothers
professors of higher edu
cation at Florida State Uni
versity. Stickler and Carothers be
lieve the year-round calendar
will "provide a better vehicle
for dealing with the vast num
bers of students" included in
what is termed the "tidal
wave" of increasing college
enrollments.
As a result cf the trend to
wards year-round operation,
Stickler and Carothers stated,
aggressive eiiorts are ueing
made to upgrade summer ses
sions. Students at year-round in
stitutions, the authors said,
exhibit a greater seriousness
of purpose. Extra-curricular
activities at these schools
seem to be receiving less stu
dent participation due to the
intensified academic program
of the year-round operation.
Stickler and Carothers see
the emergence of two sys
tems of equitable faculty pay
which will operate with the
development of the year-round
operation. These are: "(1)
12-month salaries with provi
sion for regular leave from
teaching duties; or (2 ) adop
tion of the principle of equal
pay for equal periods of fac-

a chance to understand the
problems the University ad
ministration has when dealing
with misconduct cases.
Under Associate Dean of
Student Affairs J. Winston
Martin's policy the tribunal
this year dealt mostly with
cases involving bad check
writing and petty thefts
while previously they hand
led liquor law violations.
The two educators recog
nize several problem areas
arising from year-round oper
ation. "Without doubt the
most difficult administrative
problem," they state, "is that
of getting faculty members to
go to school during the sum
mer months."
Faculty problems, they
said, include recruitment, pay
scales and a decision as to
what constitutes "an adequate
and appropriate workload for
a faculty member."
