This decrease, he said, will possibly lead to smaller graduating classes in the future. In 1 97 1, 265 students graduated, the largest graduating class in the history of the college. For the first time in many years, UNL has slipped to a lower position in size ranking of the nation's land-grant colleges. UNL now ranks 13th, a drop from its former ranking of 11th. Eldridge said he has seen no decrease in the number of job opportunities for ag graduates.

The council participates in service and community projects and organizing youth centers. The Nebraska Community Improvement Program and Man Power Training Program are two programs with which the youth council may possibly work.
