In this excerpt, which can be found at timestamp 40:33:13-41:38:12 in the full episode of Reflections in Time, Vic Blackwell, who was appointed interim chancellor of UNO after Kirk Naylor was fired, discusses that the irony of the merger was that OU merged with NU in an attempt "to remain independent," but after the merger, the push from President Varner was unity. It wasn't until the 1980s that UNO started to shift back into some independence.

An account of the resource
Clip from a 16 mm file showing the ceremony recognizing the merger of Municipal University of Omaha with the University of Nebraska. ilm
<p>The merger ceremony announcing the University of Nebraska at Omaha occurred on July 1, 1968, on the steps of the Arts & Sciences Hall and included the "official" transfer of the institution to the University of Nebraska Board of Regents. Municipal University of Omaha speakers included Randall Owens, President of the Student Senate, President Kirk Naylor, and Robert Spire, chair of the Board of Regents. Merger festivities also included social occasions for university officials, including a lawn party on the grounds north of ASH and a luncheon in the student union building. Classes were dismissed for the event.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Nebraska Educational Television Network filmed the merger ceremony that took place in front of the Arts & Sciences Hall, which at midnight on July 2, 1968, became the UNO campus. Bob Van Neste provided commentary on the process and speakers to those who watched the ceremony.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Robert Spire, President of the Board of Regents of the Municipal University of Omaha, introduced each of the speakers. Governor Norbert Tiemann, provided the first remarks following an invocation. Tiemann noted: "Today is a beginning. Not only of a great university, but of a frowth industry for the city of Omaha, the state of Nebraska, but more important, here is tangible evidence of a spirit of unity that binds our entire state…." He focused on academic excellence in the state.

<p> </p>
<p>Represented university students, Randall Owens, President of the University of Nebraska at Omaha Student Senate discussed change: "It was a democratic decision and a significant part of the change occurring today was due to student concern and participate, and rightfully so it should be. This is an institution of higher learning, this is a classroom for the student…" (View streaming video clip: <a href="https://mediahub.unl.edu/media/9346" title="Merger Ceremony: Randy Owens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://mediahub.unl.edu/media/9346</a>)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>John D. Blackwell, head of the Art Department, and President of the University Senate noted in his speech that "if the spirit of cooperation, the evidence of outstanding leadership which has characterized the initial efforts, are continued in the years ahead, the University of Nebraska, and all its complexities, will rank among the top in American institutions of higher education."

He stated "The state of Nebraska can justifiably be proud of the education institution which it supports, and today represents a leap forward in education endeavors.

In this excerpt, which can be found at timestamp 43:30:09-56:52:26 in the full episode of Reflections in Time, Robert Spire, then president of the OU Board of Regents, provides considerable detail on the Regents' role in the merger. Unanimously in fall 1966, the Regents decided that mission of the university was to serve students in Omaha who couldn't afford to go to school elsewhere. With the failure of both mil levy elections, the Regents felt that OU simply could not finance their mission. OU income came only from student fees and the mil levy; by law, OU could not borrow money. Fear of pricing their students out of their education drove the Regents to the State for funds. Nebraska was just then in the process of creating its first sales and income tax, so it seemed like a prudent move to have OU become a state institution, so some state tax money from Omaha residents would come back to Omaha. The Regents driving force through the process was a desire to ensure that students continued to have quality instructors at convenient times and affordable prices.

Interview with Dr. Kirk E. Naylor, President of the University of Nebraska at Omaha, 1967-1971. Producer/host, Paul Borge. Produced in cooperation with the UNO Alumni Association, College of Arts and Sciences, University Television.

The first excerpt from Kirk Naylor's interview, which can be found at timestamp 07:43:11-8:10:00 in the full episode of Reflections in Time, features a key passage from Dr. Naylor, "We had a choice at that point, of remaining a good, strong four-year liberal arts institution, with perhaps programs in some of the other areas--business administration, education, engineering--but really, not really going heavily into graduate work and expanding programs. So we had a decision. Either to do that, or to find some other way to finance the university." This didn't immediately lead to the merger, but circa 1966-1968 it did lead to the first state aid that OU ever had, in the form of some funds the legislature approved for the state's junior colleges, including OU. This bought OU some time to evaluate other options, namely, the merger.

The second excerpt from Kirk Naylor's interview, which can be found at timestamp 10:08:14-25:08:05 in the full episode of Reflections in Time, features Dr. Naylor's extended account of how the merger took place, from the first meeting between Dr. Naylor, Regent Bob Spire, and Nebraska Senator Terry Carpenter, through the legislative bill and ratification by the voters of Omaha, through post-merger growth at UNO, and through creation of a Central Administration not located on any of the campuses. Dr. Naylor also touches on the creation of UNMC, describing it as a "spin-off" of the OU-NU merger and commenting on his conversations with then UNMC President Cecil Wittson.
