Nebraskans Appoint
By Peggy Speece
Two years ago Nebraskans
amended their constitution
to allow for judgeships of the
State Supreme and State
District Courts to be chosen
by appointment rather than
popular election.
This plan for appointment
of judges is known as the
Missouri court plan because
it is modeled after a plan put
into effect in the Missouri
court system in 1941.
Basically the outline of the
plan is as follows:
1.) A commission com
posed of one current State
Supreme Court judge, three
lawyers elected by the Bar
Association, and ;hree lay
men appointed by the Gover
nor nominate at least two
candidates to fill a vacancy.
The governor then makes the
final appointment.
2.) After his six year term
is over, the judge makes an
application to the Secretary
of State to have his name

put on the ballot with the
question "Shall Judge . .
be retained?" If the people
vote to retain him in office
he then serves another term.
Otherwise a commission will
make new nominations and
the Governor will make a
new appointment.
3.) No judge in office is al
lowed to make a contribu
tion or take part in any politi
cal campaign.
This method for selection
of judges is in effect in re
latively few states: most
still have popular election of
judges.
Why did Nebraskans chose
this system?
District Judge Bartlett
Boyles, Lincoln, is the first
judge to have been selected iu
der the new system. He ex
plained that the plan has
been proposed in one form
or another in Nebraska ever
since Missourians passed
their amendment.
"This plan leaves little
room for an incompetent
judge to gain office, he said.
"Especially in the less popu
lated districts of the state
where several counties
elected a district judge it was
easy for an incompetent per
son to get into office just be
cause the people didn t know
him. The Missouri plan does
away with the possibility of
this occurring."
Boyles said that the Bar
Association in N'ebras
ka made the installation of
the Missouri plan a project.
It was their feeling that a
judge should not have to wor
ry about campaigning or poli
tics to keep his job; that he
should stand on his record as
a judge.
The amendment to the Ne
braska Constitution is part of
the fourth stage of judge se
lection that the United States
has seen.
The first method of selec
tion used in this country
was, oddly enough, the appoin
tive system. In fact, all the
original states except Georgia
appointed their judges
through the Governor.
However, in 1832, Missouri
signaled what was to come
when she adopted a popular
election system. Jacksonian
Democracy and the rise of the
western states aided the no
tion that a judge should be
elected by a vote of all the
people he was to serve. The
Eastern states clung to t h e
appointive system for' awhile
but by the outbreak of t h e
Civil War, 22 of 34 states
elected their judges.
" Around the close of the
Civil War, the third period
of judge selection began. It
was now apparent to many

46ei Dorm, Ag Library,
Physics Lab Being Built
Flexibility of plan and
modernistic design two of the
features of the present expan
sion program at the Univer
sity. Reflecting the flexibility
and modernistic trend of the
program is the new library on
the Ag campus. It is designed
with an overhanging roof and
a promenade on the ground
level.
The two story structure is
built of steel and concrete,
and will use glass for the
walls and skylights. The up
per stories, to be used for
reading areas and reference
books, have only supporting
partitions; thus allowing max
imum use of floor space for
study activities, and the
100,000 books which it is de
signed to accommodate.
The offices and stacks are
located in the basement.
One of the newest and most
modern of the regular campus
buildings is the new Behlen
Physics Laboratory. Built
with gift funds from the Beh
len Manufacturing Company,
state appropriation and a
grant from the National
Science Foundation, the Beh
len Building is to be used for
research only. This is in ac
cordance with terms stated
in grant received from the
National Science Foundation.
The Behlen building has five
Icors, two below ground
levi; but the foundations are
such that two more stores can
be added. This which is keep
ing with long range building
plans insures the physics re
search department of addition
al facilities. The second floor
of the structure is used for of

Judges
that judges and politics easi
ly made for corrupt judges.
Those judges wanting to re
main in office made "popu
lar" decisions and many of
them were not above taking
bribes.
The 1865-1915 period was a
time of much agitation and
many proposed remedies.
Corrections of the elective
system suggested included
judicial nominating conven
tions, non-partisan ballots,
and election of judges on dif
ferent days from other offici
als. But little more than talk
occurred until the time of
World War I.
The fourth stage, the one
which we are still in, began
with people demanding in
vestigations and reports on
their judical systems.
Nowhere was this agitation
the state where popular elec
tion of judges was first
started. A long drawnout con
troversy followed, culminat
ing in the Missouri court plan
of 1941.
At present, there is coun
trywide belief that reform is
needed in the area of selec
tion of judges, Judge Boyles
feels. "In a lot of places, trial
court judges are up for re
election every two years. The
uncertainty of tenure keeps
many excellent men from
even running for a judge
ship," he said.
Judge Boyles explained
that as the elected term of
office for the State Supreme
and District Court judges run
out, the Missouri plan will be
applied to fill the vacancies.
"It will probably take at
least 10 years before we know
how successful the plan will
be in Nebraska," he said.
"But I feel confident that the
system will prove to be a
good one in the long run."
Theater Wanted
For Centennial
The University of Nebraska
Centennial Committee is
launching a campaign to build
a theater for the performing
arts in time for the Universi
ty's Centennial in 1969.
E. N. Thompson of Lincoln,
chairman of the Centennial
Committee, said that Bennett
S. Martin has agreed to head
a subcommittee to develop
plans for financing.
Thompson, who Is president
of the Cooper Foundation,
said the Committee is unani
mous in wanting to provide
a permanent Centennial me
morial on the University
campus and agrees that a
theater for the performing
arts can be an important
sources of further cultural
growth for all Nebraska.
brary. The other areas are
for the purpose of modern re
search. A special section is
designed for construcing of
equipment to be used by the

The third major building
under construction at the Uni
versity is the Abel Dormitory.
Named for the late George P.
Abel, the dormitory located at
17th & Vine will have 13
stores when completed. The
single housing units will house
near 1000 men and provide
dining facilities. In size the
first floor of the dorm approx

A student staff member rep
resents each of five colleges.
The student staff answers the
entering students' questions,
conducts a seminar on the
college student's personal re
sponsibility and guides the
group through their day's ac
tivities.
Much of the afternoon is
spent with faculty advisors
who go over the college re
quirements in a general way
and then spend time individ
ually with the students, ac
cording to Siemers, Physical
reviews are also completed
during the program.
The entering freshmen join
together in one group on the
second morning at which time
campus life and student gov
ernment are explained in de
tail by student staff members.
University students working
in the various phases of the
orientation program are Pete
Sommerhauser, Brian "Skip"
Soiref, Ann Wahl, Susie Ayres,
Judy Brumm, Gary Pokorny,
Mike Barton, Sally Wilson,
Shirley Voss, Jean Probasco
and Bob Brehm.
Parents participate in a sep
arate program in which they
meet members of the faculty
as well as campus religious
leaders, see an educational
TV film on the early history
of the University and tour
the campus.
Entering freshmen seem to
be concerned about what they
can expect from their instruc
tors, according to Ann Wahl
and Brian "Skip" Soiref, two
student staff members.

According to figures re

L. Smith, plant construction
engineer, approximately
$7,5000,000 will.be the total
amount which will have been
spent on the completed four
projects. The money was re

and appropriations. All the

tors are very impersonal. We
have tried to tell them this is
not true, that the professors
really care, but it is up to the
students to make the first
move," Soiref said.
"Entering students seem to
enjoy the program a great
deal, and they have not re
ceived much of the informa
tion in the mail. They are able
to see the 'heart' of the Uni
versity instead of just the
facts," Shirley Voss, another
student staff member, said.
The most meaning for the
University in this program is
the fact that as students move
from high s'hool to college,
there is a transition period
where students need help, Dr.
G. Robert Ross, vice chancel
lor for Student Affairs, said.
"Last summer 1,000 students
came in to get questions an
swered," Ross stated. Through
this summer program, he con
tinued, we hope to do three
things.
(1) Provide individual at
tention. (2) Aid students in their
transition period.
(3) Make students and par
ents more aware of what the
University will expect of them
in the way of responsibility.
"We are very pleased with
our first effort and the general
feeling is that we want to try
it again," Dr. Ross concluded.
Students who participate in
the summer freshmen pro
gram will need to come only
one day in advance of school
while those who do not will be
required to come for at least
two days of orientation prior
to the fall term.
