Memo urges campus split
by H.J. Cummins
A proposal to create a "Center for
Agriculture and Home Economics" was
circulated threo and a half years ago by UNL
Agriculture College Dean E.F. Frolik,
according to office memos shown to the
Daily Nebraskan Thursday.
, Frolik's proposal is essentially the same as
LB 149, introduced Jan. 9 to the Legislature
by Sen. Maurice Kremer of Aurora and Sen.
Gerald Strcmer of Kearney. The two plans
call for separating the Agriculture College
from the Lincoln campus and elevating it to
the same level as the University's three major
components-UN L, UNL and the Medical
Center.
The June 23, 1969 memo differs only in
its inclusion of the Home Economics
College, since separated from the Agriculture
College.
"Discussions have been opened with
Acting Chancellor Merk Hobson and
(Chancellor) Joseph Soshnik" concerning
the separation, the memo read.
The memo also thanked department
heads for the "constructive
recommendations by the staff" offered at
meetings held to solicit faculty opinion on
an Agriculture College separation.
The memo cited the same reasons in favor
of the separation as now being used for
LB 149: the importance of agriculture to
Nebraska, the need for good agricultural
representation in NU policy decisions and
the Agriculture College's importance to NU.
Assistant Dean of the Agriculture College,
David McGill, said agricultural groups have
been discussing "for 10 years or so" possible
college reorganization.
He said, though, the first "specific
suggestion" by a farm organization was
outlined in a University Agriculture College
Advisory Council resolution passed last
October in a Scottsbluff meeting. He said
the council's plan was a result of ideas by
council members and other agricultural
groups.
The resolution calls for an "Agricultural
Center" as described in LB 149. The Council
is a group of state farmers who meet
periodically with the Agriculture College
dean.
Since the council resolution, was passed,
virtually every state agricultural group has
endorsed the plan.
Bert Evans, then an extension economist
in the Agricultural Economics Department,
recalls his department was the onty one that
advised against the new center.
Evans, now with the Economics
Department, said he felt It would only add
another layer of "bureaucratic fat. And I
could see no benefit to an operating farmer
in Nebraska."
UNL Chancellor James Zumberge said
Thursday he had no knowledge of the earlier
proposal.
"I've heard of it, but that was before my
time," he said, "and I don't consider it
germane to the current discussion."
Zumberge became UNL chancellor a year
ago.
Dean Frolik is out of town on vacation.
