As of July 1, Naylor will retain his current duties under the title of head of the University of Ne braska at Omaha. , He explained that the immediate effects of the merger at the Oma ha campus will be a sharp in crease in enrollment. "We anticipate an enrollment of 10.500 part-time and full-time stu dents," Naylor said. Lower Tuition The lower tuition for the Omaha school is the primary reason for the increase, he explained, par of Omaha nroper. In 1966-67 students paid for 74 percent of the Omaha school's op erating costs. The budget for 1963 69 shows that students will pay about 49 per cent of the operating cost. The budget is $7,130,000. Naylor said the school will also receive fiscal security and a de gree of prestige from the merger. Omaha University has no dormi tories, and all students must com mute to and from the campus. Municipal university Omaha has operated the insti tution as a municipal university, fully funded by the local property tax, mill levy and student tuition ess. Two efforts to increase the two milt levy had been rejected by Omaha voters and, as a result, tu ition fees have increased consid erably. Vice chancellor Jcseph Soshnik of the University of Nebraska ex plained that it was because of the high percentage of the operating ' costs that student tuition was pay ing for that Omaha officials ap proached the State Legislature ask o (T$ n (DJ v ing state aid for the municipal uni versity. Used existing structures Soshnik explained that it was agreed to that the aid should be coordinated through existing struc ture. At the request of the Omaha Board of Regents, both schools be gan exploring the possibility of a merger. Staffs of both schools drafted legislation which was adopted almost as written by the State Legislature in January, 1967. Omaha voters approved the merger earlier last December pav ing the way for the implementa tion. A steering committee has di rected the merger action thus far. Though it formally terminates on July 1, "the committee will remain in existence oast the date of the formal merger," said Merk Hob son, University vice chancellor and "We will be trying to investigate through appointed committees the best possible ways to achieve bene fits to both schools through the merger," Hobson said. Naylor said the programs most affected by the merger will be the nursing and medical technology programs. The Omaha campus would retain and strengthen its first year nursing program, with second year program of clinical work being placed in the hands of the University at Omaha Medi cal Center. There is a strong possibility of the Medical Center developing a six-year medical education course after the merger, according to Dr. Cecil Wittson, dean of the NU medical center. Naylor said their is a definite possibility that courses taught by Lincoln professors could be of fered on the Omaha campus. He said such courses would probably be offered on Saturdays or in the evening.

Eu gene McCarthy (D-Minn.) and an end to the war in Vietnam in Choice '68, the national campus presidential primary held April 24. McCarthy polled 26.7 per cent of the almost 1.1 million votes cast, followed by Sen. Robert Kennedy (D.-N.Y.) with 19.9 per cent and Republican Richard Nix on with 18.4 per cent. A combined 62.6 per cent of the students voted for either an im mediate withdrawal of American troops or a reduction in Ameri can military involvement in Viet nam against 30 per cent who voted for either increased or all out military effort. Some 58 per cent voted for either a permanent or temporary halt to all bombing. 79 per cent voted for either job training or education solutions to the urban crisis. Johnson's name appears President Johnson's name was on the ballot and Humphrey's wasn't because they were printed before Johnson withdrew from the race. Martin Luther K 1 n g's name was on the ballot since his assassination took place after the ballots were printed. Humphrey got 58 per cent of the write-in votes, followed by Ne gro commedian Dick Gregory who had eight per cent of the write ins and .2 per cent of the tote vote. 1.2 million votes expected A final total of about 1.2 million students were expected to vote in the election, of 2,526 colleges con tacted by Choice '68, 1,470 partici pated. But because this included most of the large schools, there was a potential vote of about five million out of a total of seven mil lion U.S. colleges. The primary was run by a board of all student body presi dents and college editors, and was sponsored by Time magazine, which provided most of the funds and Univac, which compiled the ballots on one of its large com puters in Washington.
