To Leave
With Hall
A former University journa
lism student and editor of the
Daily Nebraskan has been ap
pointed as instructor and as
sistant to director-designate
William E. Hall of the Ohio
State University School of
Journalism.
Donald L. Ferguson, who is
now journalism advisor at Lin
coln Southeast High School,
will join Hall, present direc
tor of journalism at the Uni
versity," at the Ohio school.
The announcement was
made simultaneously in Co
lumbus, Ohio, and Lincoln by
Dean J. O. Fuller of the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences at
Ohio State, and Hall.
Ferguson, who will be 26
Saturday, grew up at North
Platte. He holds a Bachelor's
Degree in journalism from the
University and a Master's De
gree in journalism from
Northwestern University.
When at Nebraska, Fergu
son was "Outstanding
Nebraskan," president of
Young Democrats, president
of the lnterfraternity Council
and a member of Phi Gamma
Delta fraternity.
He has taught the past two
years at Lincoln Southeast
while serving summers on the
University's All-State jour
nalism staff.
OSU Group
To Protest
Hiring Hall
The Free Student Federation
(FSF) at Ohio State Univer
sity planned a picket for Fri
day to protest the hiring of
Dr. William Hall as director
of the School of Journalism.
Hall, who is presently di
rector of journalism at the
University, was hired last
week to take the Ohio post as
of July 1.
Robert Queisser, chairman
of the group's coordinating
committee, said the OSU ad
ministration building will be
picketed by the group Friday
and a rally will be held on the
campus oval that afternoon.
The FSF decision followed a
discussion of the issue before
more than 500 students
Wednesday afternoon at a for
um on the oval.
The Federation called Hall's
appointment "an administra
tion violation of academic
freedom, faculty autonomy
and student rights."
Ira B. Harkey Jr., an OSU
journalism instructor and
Pulitzer Prize winner, said at
the forum the new director
will turn the campus daily
newspaper, the Ohio State
Lantern, into a "house organ
for the administration."
"The Lantern is the issue"
and the issue is "symbolized
and personalized in Paul Bar
ton," he said Barton has been
acting director of the school
since the death last year of
George Kienzle.

Nine distinguished aumni of
the University will return to

Masters Program Monday.
The Masters are John H.

Hall: Misinterpreted?
The managing editor of the
Ohio State Lantern "is not
here to di? up dirt about Dr.
(William E.) Hall." resigning
director of the University's
School of Journalism.
"I am here in Lincoln strict
ly for a story; I've been
taught to go to the source of
my story, and here I am," em
phasized Dave Hopcraft.
Hopcraft, a 22-year-old sen
ior in journalism at Ohio State
University, has spent the last
two days interviewing Admin
istration officials, students,
and faculty members of t h e
School of Journalism.
During a news conference
held in the Nebraska Union
Thursday, the collegian said
that although he hadn't had
adequate time to confer with
Hall, the conflict between Hall
and OSU journalism faculty
members may have originat
ed from a "failure of com
munications." "At this point I would say
that Hall may have been mis
interpreted or misquoted in
the Ohio press," stated Hop
craft. "From what I've seen and
heard in Lincoln so far, I
would say that Hall does not
intend to turn the Lantern into
an Administration house or
gan, nor become an Adminis
tration 'yes-man'," he said.
To Hopcraft, the difficulty
at Ohio State arose from the
manner in which Hall was
picked to head the OSU School.

Masters
according to Jim DeMars,
chairman of the program
committee.
The Masters will offer
their experiences, not as
formulas for success, but as
guidelines for meeting the
challenges which the future
holds," commented DeMars.
The Masters will arrive in
Lincoln Sunday and will be
gin a round of informal ap
pearances at student living
units and various student
programs, including the Hon
ors Convocation Tuesday
morning.
Becker is the partner-in-
managing editor of the Ohio
controversy about Dr. Hall
of Journalism. "The question
isn't Hall; it's the way he was
chosen, said Hopcraft. "Hall
was picked by the Board of
Trustees over the vote of nine
out of 15 faculty members."
Last week the OSU Student
Senate voted to oppose Hall's
appointment to the School.
Four days later they reversed
their decision. Hopcraft said
he did not know the reason
for the reversal.
"I'll be better able to eval
uate Hall and his previous
statements to the press after
I've had another chance to
talk with him," Hopcraft said.

Graduate Enrollment To Double
Graduate school enrollment
at the University has in
creased from 1,305 in 1960 to
2.334 in 1965.
Furthermore, said Grad
uate Dean Mark Hobson, the
enrollment is expected to
reach 4,623 by 1970.
Hobson said these figures
represent enrollment in grad
uate work including the ad
vanced professional program
in Teachers College, but does
not include that part known
as graduate education in the
areas of medicine, law, phar
macy and dentistry.
Nationally, according to an
article by Time magazine,
the graduate student enroll
ment has increased from 314,
000 in 1960 to 510,000 in 1965
It was also estimated that by
1970, there would be 800,000
graduate students in the na
tion. 'Selective'
Hobson said the University
last year received about 9,000
requests for information about
graduate work. He said there
were over 3.000 persons who
actually applied and that there
were about 750 who were ulti
mately accepted.
Hobson noted that the grad

The three ASUN presiden
tial candidates took potshots
at parties, platforms and
personalities in a debate
Thursday afternoon.
Approximately 150 students
crowded into the Nebraska
Union main lounge to hear
the candidates, Dave Snyd
er, Terry Schaaf and Steve
Abbott.
Discussion of a student bill
of rights dominated the de
bate. All three candidates in
dicated they favored a bill
of rights.
Snyder declared he is "not
in favor of forcing through"
a bill of rights "written by
uate program is not "wide
open," and that it is quite
selective in its admissions
program.
The dean said graduate stu
dent enrollment "more than
keeps up with the undergrad
uate enrollment" and that
there is a "direct relation
ship between the two. We
would expect the graduate
school enrollment to go up
because of the greater num
ber of undergraduates."
He said the opportunities
for graduate study are even
greater now than in the past
due to an increased amount
of fellowships that are avail
able. "A big factor is federal in
volvement in providing mon
ey for fellowships," Hobson
said. Noting that the increased
number of financial grants
in the science area has been
criticized in some circles, he
said the distribution of grad
uate students in the science
area has remained about the
same 55 per cent.
Draft, GI Bill
Hobson said it is hard to tell
the effect of the draft and
GI Bill on the number of grad
uate students.

Schaaf stated he is for a
bill of rights only as a spe
cific proposal. He urged that
rules and regulations be
studied to see what the rules
are before a bill of rights is
formulated.
"I think it's going to be
easier to get the Board of
Regents to agree with us if
we enumerate the rules we
object to," Schaaf said.
Abbott is running on the
Campus Freedom Democrat
ic Party ticket, which is us
ing a prepared bill of rights
as the party's platform.
Schaaf insisted that a bill
of rights, if formulated, must
be "third" in the order of
About two-thirds of the
graduate students at the Uni
versity come from schools
outside the University, ac
cording to Hobson. He said
about 20 per cent of all stu
dents getting their baccalau
reate degrees go on to get
their masters degrees and
about 2.5 per cent get their
doctors degrees.
He said some areas of grad
uate study have about their
maximum capacity right now,
but noted t;-,r.t the determina
tion of the number of grad
uate students is decided pri
marily by the departments.
Hobson said the graduate
work is designed for the stu
dent with a B average or bet
ter. He said in about two
thirds of the cases, the appli
cants are referred to the de
partment, and the graduate
committee makes a recom
mendation whether to accept
the student.
He said that in most cases,
the graduate committee's
recommendations are fol
lowed, but that the graduate
dean's office can go back and
discuss any person in question.
