doilu teS M Jk Wednesday, October 31, 1973 lincoln, nebraska vol. 97, no. 36 Professor refuses to debate Answering an Omaha senator's debate challenge, Carroll McKibbin, chairman of UNL's political science department, said he does not think there is anything 'o debate. Sen. David Stahmer said last week he would like to publicly debate McKibbin, who wrote1 an article in the American Assoc. of University Professors bulletin that -liv ns:ed the political results of the Omaha University NU campus rueiger. 'The man is entitled to his opinion," McKibbin said. "I do think he misinterpreted the slant of the article. He concluded something I never intended." Stahmer had said McKibbin made Omaha senator;, Icok as if they had not been cooperative in helping UiML. "The study was a reflection of a number of things," McKibbin said. "UNO started from a lower base than UNI.. In terns of trying to get equity, it has been a little better off." He said that this was not the focus of the study. "The focus said the arrangement had not worked out as it was originally planned because so far an alliance has not been established between Omaha and Lincoln for higher education."
