RANDOM MEMORIES
OF
PEOPLE AND EXPERIE:NUES
AT OU/UNO
By
John M. (Jack) Newton
December 2009
�run-off elections. They submitted a report but it was never made public. I was not on the committee, and have
searched unsuccessfully for a copy of its report. I even solicited help from Chancellor Del Weber and he could find
no trace of it in university records.
The ''reform" agenda started with a demand for openness in the faculty salary schedule and included suggested
reforms of the then current system. A committee was appointed headed by Carl Camp of the Political Science
Department. As I remember, members were Bill Petrowski (History Department), Frank Forbes (Business College),
and myself. It became widely known as "The Camp Committee." We obtained access to salary files and tried to
make some sense out of what had been a very private operation. One thing that stood out was that the College of
Business Administration faculty were by far the best remunerated. I recall that the highest paid professor was Marsh
Bull, a professor of marketing. In the lower echelons were departments like English. We met frequently and worked
hard. Carl wrote an excellent report that was widely circulated. It should be in the UNO archives. Many faculty
members were not happy about inequalities and perceived inequities.
In some sense, the Camp Report should not have been a big surprise. Dean John Lucas of the business college was a
very shrewd administrator. He worked diligently to maximize salaries in his college and shouldn't be blamed for the
fact that other deans had not the wit to use the same methods. But it did raise a stir, and led to more openness and a
salary schedule that gave other colleges a chance to catch up. It also led to the formation of a faculty senate designed
to increase the voice of the faculty in policy determination. Originally it was a "university senate" with both faculty
and administrators represented. This had some advantages in that it brought the two groups face-to-face, but the
faculty tended to be suspicious of the structure and it soon was changed to a true faculty senate.
I see President Traywick as a somewhat tragic character. He truly believed in the university's destiny of growth and
prosperity. For an example of this, see the discussion of Dr. William Walden in the section "Random Memories of
People." A major problem was that as a new president he did not have the backing of Omaha's "movers and
shakers" and neither did he have Dr. Bail's skill in balancing a difficult budget. The upshot of all this is that he was
fired in the first semester of his second year. He had a big faculty Christmas reception, a la Dr. Bail, and with tears
in his eyes and a breaking voice announced to the faculty that he had been dismissed by the Regents. Shortly
thereafter, it was announced that Dr. Kirk Naylor would be the interim president. A well-attended faculty meeting
followed. Stan Trickett took it upon himself to be the faculty spokesman and minced no words in castigating Dr.
Naylor. Stan accused Kirk of plotting with the OU Regents to have Traywick removed so that Naylor could take
over. It was a very dramatic scene, but Naylor handled himself well .. Traywick was not treated kindly by the
Regents. See additional information in the section "Random Memories of People." He disappeared from the scene,
never to be heard from again. He left for a professorial position, teaching economics, at a small but prestigious
eastern college (WilJiam and Mary).
A note of irony. Kirk Naylor was eventually named UNO's first CEO. There was another big and dramatic faculty
meeting. Stan Trickett made a public apology to Naylor and pledged his support. And just a few years later, Naylor
himself was fired by the University of Nebraska Board of Regents for not being a "team player!" He continued on
at the university as a professor of educational administration.
THE PSYCHOLOGY DEPARTMENT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE "MERGER" WITH
THE STATE UNIVERSITY
Bill Jaynes left for Oklahoma State in 1966-67 and in 1967 I became chairman. In my commentary about Dean
Robert Harper, I provide a bit more information about this. At first it was business as usual. When we became part
of the state system, though, we had a huge (25%) increase in enrollment the first year. We needed more faculty and
with state funds we had the money for new hires. As an aside, we continued off-campus luncheon meetings even
after the department was larger. We all chipped in to pay for our secretary's lunch so that she could join us and take
minutes. Fran Hurst and I were at first the only full-time faculty and Fran involved himself little in departmental
issues. That left it pretty much exclusively to me to decide what sort of positions to fill. Initially we had a few new
people, most notably Richard Wikoff, Clemm (Chips) Kessler, and James Johnston. All departments were in the
same boat so the number of positions available was at least partially dependent on which could fill them most
quickly. I put experimental (because I needed someone to teach the courses I no longer had time for), industrial, and
- 13 -
�school psychology as my top priorities. Since children were the focus of school psychology, and since I had long
had an interest in child/developmental psychology, I added it to the list also.
Allwine Hall was completed in 1968 as a home for Chemistry and Biology Departments. Up to that time these had
been located in the Administration Building (now Arts and Sciences Hall). Biology shared most of the third floor
with the Art Department, which quickly moved into the vacated space. Chemistry occupied all of the fourth floor,
and I saw this as an opportunity for better space for psychology laboratories. I invested about 40 or 50 dollars of
department funds in equipment for architectural drawing and taught myself enough about the techniques to make
some respectable floor plans. It also helped that I had friends in Physical Plant who provided me with building plans
to use as models and helped out with issues of practicality. Anyhow, I wrote an elaborate proposal for a complete
remodel of a fourth floor devoted to psychology instead of chemistry. Luckily, we already had faculty office space
(chemistry offices were all on the forth floor) so that gave us more apace than chemistry had. I submitted the
proposal to Dean Harper and it was accepted in toto. Since the fourth floor was laid out mostly as chemistry labs, it
had to be renovated to make it usable. State funds became available and my floor plans made the process easier.
This made a major change in the department, and helped with recruiting, as well. I was able to squeeze in an
undergraduate laboratory for operant conditioning, and then to persuade the department to require a sophomore-level
lab in Skinnerian behavior techniques for all psychology majors! Students had their "own" rats and were graded on
- their success in using the techniques. Most of them loved it-though a few hated to handle rats!
My biggest problem was recruiting faculty. I had to convince new Ph.D.s that a little known institution was getting
ready to go places and that they could get in on "the ground floor .. " I took every opportunity to familiarize myself
with current work in our areas of interest and to learn as much as I could about successful recruiting techniques. For
many years I had been a member of the Midwestern Psychological Association. I was their "Institutional
Representative" at OU/UNO and even served briefly on their membership committee. I also attended their meetings
regularly and now put to work their job placement services. Although I had been less involved in the American
Psychological Association I became a regular attendee at their meetings and used their placement services as well.
Since I figured that most people we might be recruiting would know little about Omaha, I began the practice of
sending each possible recruit a two-week (by mail) subscription to the daily Omaha World-Herald. This didn't cost
much and some people told me that they were impressed when they saw from housing advertisements that living
expenses were quite moderate.
I think that I was successful in my efforts. Within a couple of years, I recruited Ken Deffenbacher, Norm Hamm,
Joe LaVoie, Shelton Hendricks, Jim Thomas, and Ray Millimet among others. There were some, too, with whom I
was less successful. In particular, I brought Gordon Becker to the department. He was an old friend from Electric
Boat and had done interesting work in statistical decision theory. He was very bright and had published some
interesting papers-Le., he seemed to hold great promise. In particular, he was older and I thought he would add
some balance to the fairly young recent graduates that we had been hiring. I knew him well and understood that he
was something of a "prickly" personality, but thought that he could be helped to fit in. I was wrong. He became a
thorn in my side, and in that of succeeding chairmen. Even worse, his research ideas never materialized and he never
met his promise as a scholar. There were a couple of others who also didn't work out, either, but they (fortunately)
didn't stay around long. Just before he left UNO, Bill Jaynes had recruited a promising physiological psychologist
(Dave Schacter-not the one by that name at Harvard) who had done some unusual work with monkey brains.
Unfortunately he was extraordinarily egotistical and didn't get along well with others. I considered it a major
accomplishment when I was able to persuade him that UNO wasn't for him and that he might do better elsewhere.
PROBLEMS IN JOINING THE STATE SYSTEM
In the beginning, I wasn't sure that I wanted to be part of the University of Nebraska. I spent a good part of 1966-67
searching for another academic position. With encouragement from Bill Walden, I applied to New Mexico State for
chairmanship of their psychology department, but didn't make it to the "short list." Probably it was my lack of
administrative experience. I was offered a chairman's position at NY State College at Geneseo (near Rochester, NY)
but didn't think it held enough promise and turned it down. At that point, I decided to stay in Omaha and work hard
to make UNO succeed. A number of other faculty members held the same view as I did. But nearly all those that I
knew decided to stay in Omaha. At the time that the legislature was considering the Omaha University bill, there
- 14 -
�were a number of political rallies and demonstrations. One that I now find amusing was when my ten-year-old
daughter showed up with a group after school to picket President Naylor's house on Farnam Street. Somehow I
heard about it and asked my wife to get her and bring her home. She protested strongly that "they promised us that
the TV people would be here and I'll be on the news!"
It is hard to do justice to a description of the confusion and chaos of the first few years of UNO's entry into the state
university system. First of all, there was no system. The university was what is now known as UNL, plus a semiautonomous medical campus in Omaha which came under the administrative supervision of the president in
Lincoln. The medical campus was run by the Dean of the College ofMedicine--at that time Cecil Wittson. In the
bill making OU part of the state university, the legislature provided little or no guidance as to how the university
should be organized or administrated-this was left for the regents to work out. This, of course, was appropriate
since the Board of Regents was an independently elected group charged in the state constitution with setting
university policies.
Anyone involved in university governance could predict what happened. The regents asked the university
administrators to come up with recommendations and, in turn, the administration established committees of faculty
and administrators to suggest what should be done. As a deeply concerned department chairman, I could not avoid
becoming involved in these committees, nor would I have wanted to. For a full year I traveled back and forth to
Lincoln once or twice a week to address the problems of system development. Those on the committee traveled
together to Lincoln. We got to know each other very well and always worked cooperatively. One mildly amusing
incident stands out in my memory. One ex officio committee member was the President of the UNO Faculty Senate.
Our group had been together for several months when a new president was elected-Barbara Brillhart, who was the
only woman on the committee. On arrival in Lincoln we piled out of the car. Knowing that we had a long meeting
ahead of us, we routinely headed for a restroom. Barbara was new to the process and just followed along. She was a
bit embarrassed to find herself in the men's room! She had a good sense of humor and I think it helped her rapport
with the committee when we learned that she could handle such a situation well.
What evolved was the structure that we have today-three semi-autonomous campuses (today four, since Kearney
was added later) supervised by a central administration in Lincoln. But initially it was different. The original
structure was a controlling center in Lincoln with a subsidiary medical campus in Omaha. Lacking anything else we
started out the same way-UNO being seen as yet another subsidiary campus, like the medical campus.
The university president, Clifford Hardin, was a very bright man with a vision. He saw the system as an
amalgamation of equal campuses. Departments in Lincoln and Omaha would join together and work to ensure that
their strengths were developed to the benefit of the university as a whole, regardless of physical location. This would
have been hard to sell politically, but a man of Hardin's prestige and popularity might have done it. Unfortunately at
that critical time he was called to Washington to become Secretary of Agriculture. Moreover, he left on a two-year
leave-of-absence, so his place for those critical years was taken by a person from UNL (Merk Hobson) on temporary
appointment, who had few of Hardin's strengths. Hardin never did return to the university. What happened?
Committees took over that had political axes to grind and that generally promoted their own agendas. The only thing
that saved the day was the Board of Regents which came up with a reasonable structure--though it wasn't Cliff
Hardin's. There was to be a structure of three autonomous campuses-UNL, UNO, and UNMC. UNL was
different from the others in that it had the Agriculture Campus which had its own special perquisites. Each campus
was to have a CEO called a chancellor who would be responsible for its administration and report to the president
who would head a central administration in Lincoln. UNL had degree programs leading to the Ph.D. so with its age
and size became the de facto "flagship" campus. This seemed a workable solution, and with some modifications it
has succeeded fairly well over the years. It has one major drawback in that Lincoln is physically closer to the seat of
power than Omaha and may be better able to get the ear of both the president and the state government ( also in
Lincoln). I doesn't hurt UNL, either, that Nebraska is obsessed with UNL football and regents, state senators, and
other policy makers get invited to preferred seating at games (e.g., skyboxes) where UNL people have their ears.
For a year or two there was no "central administration." or separate building for same. The UNL president continued
to be the chief executive, housed in the UNL Administration Building, though the UNO president and the UNMC
Dean of the College of Medicine operated pretty much as they always had. Finally, the Regents decided on the three
campus plan described above and mandated a central executive to tie them together. This structure was a President
(central administration) and three Vice Presidents: one for academic administration, one for fiscal administration,
- 15 -
�and one for student affairs. The structure was duplicated on each campus. Former campus CEOs were renamed
chancellors, and there were vice chancellors for academics, finance, and students. The only exception was a special
vice chancellor for the agriculture campus in Lincoln, who had some super powers in view of the relationship
between agriculture and the state's economy. Campus chancellors also held the title of vice president, and thus were
equivalent in rank to the three vice presidents in the central administration. Meanwhile, a new building was
constructed for the central administration (now V amer Hall), a president and vice presidents were hired along with a
cohort of staff deemed necessary to operate effectively. Most amusing was the relationship between the UNL
Chancellor and the President when it came to representing the university at UNL football games. They fmally got it
worked out, but to this day there are some ambiguities since the general public often does not understand the
intricacies of the university administration!
The first university president was Durward (Woody) Varner-though I think Merk Hobson from UNL might have
held the title briefly on an interim basis. He was a Dean of Engineering at UNL and certainly acted the part of
president and assumed all the perquisites, whether he had the title or not. This included driving around in a big
Cadillac, courtesy of the NU Foundation. There was a frequently used bad joke that whenever a tough decision had
to be made, we had "Hobson's Choice!" Woody plunged right in and tried to establish some goals and a modicum
of order. He appointed a "blue ribbon" committee of presumably disinterested persons to study what UNO's mission
and role should be within the university. Their report was widely distributed and I had a copy but donated it to the
UNO archives. I makes interesting reading even today. I think that Woody (he was quite informal and most people
called him Woody in casual conversations) tried to be fair and separate himself from campus politics. However, the
Lincoln lobby was clearly the most powerful. In a couple of informal conversations that I had with some Nebraska
state senators at the time, they indicated that Woody had told them that if push came to shove, he would always back
UNL. Woody died about ten years ago after a long struggle with Parkinson's disease.
GRADUATE PROGRAMS. One of the early problems was graduate education. UNL had a long history and had
particular problems with their Teachers College which had more lenient rules for granting graduate degrees. UNO
on the other hand, had its own graduate college before the merger. Truthfully, it too had very lax standards. One
only needed a doctoral degree to be a member of the graduate faculty, and even this didn't mean much since it was
routinely waived. UNL, on the other hand, required a modicum of research accomplishment for graduate faculty
membership. So, what did graduate faculty membership mean? In essence at UNL it meant that the member had the
right to supervise Ph.D. dissertations. Since UNO had no Ph.D. programs, membership meant the right to supervise
M.A. theses, anC to teach graduate level courses. UNL had a second level of membership which they called
"associate member." These had the right to teach graduate courses and to supervise M.A. theses, but not Ph.D.
dissertations. But Teachers College (TC} had what they called the "Advanced Professional Division" which
permitted faculty with only associate status to supervise candidates for the Ed.D. degree. This was considered by
many to be an end run because TC didn't have enough faculty who could qualify for full graduate college
membership. The argument was that, as the name Advanced Professional Division implied, candidates for the Ed.D.
were being prepared for professional jobs in school systems, not university academic or research positions.
Whatever was correct, they were generally looked down upon by other colleges and their Ed.D. tended to be held in
rather low regard. In fairness, TC's dean at the time recognized the problem and stated unequivocally that he would
not recommend any of his faculty for tenure unless they qualified for full graduate faculty membership.
UNO had long had its own graduate faculty and those who were members felt that they should be full members in
any amalgamation of programs resulting from merger of the two institutions. What to do? I was a member of the
merger committee, and greatly concerned with this problem. The merger committee appointed an informal subcommittee of two to consider the problem and make a recommendation. The two appointed were myself and Alan
Bates, chairman of the UNL sociology department. We met a few times and discussed the issues. I finally hit on an
idea and wrote it UJr-and Alan agreed.
I used the membership categories of the American Psychological Association as a rough model. They had two
categories: member and fellow. Essentially, members needed to have the Ph.D.; feJlows needed some recognition by
peers of their research accomplishments. This was essentially equivalent to the associate member/member
categories at UNL. What Alan and I proposed was that there be a common Graduate College for all university
campuses. All UNL associate members would be given the title of"member," but with no change in their teaching
or thesis supervision authorities. All UNO graduate faculty members at UNO would retain the title of "member"
and would have the same authority for students as the new "member'' category at UNL. All current UNL
- 16 -
�"members" would become "fellows" and teaching of doctoral level classes and supervision of dissertations would be
the perquisites of Graduate Faculty Fellows only. There would be a common set of criteria for membership
categories on all campuses and as new faculty progressed in their careers, they could be recommended for
appropriate membership categories. This seemed to be the status quo ante and it was, save for one feature. All
persons with the title "member" would be allowed to vote on graduate faculty policies and on Graduate Council
membership-a right that they would not have had as associate members at UNL. This seemed a small compromise
and had no opposition-possibly because many felt that the vote didn't mean much anyhow. Further, UNO faculty
could become fellows if they met the criteria, which would permit them to do such things as supervise doctoral ·
dissertations at UNL. Doors were being opened!
In brief, the Regents approved this proposal and established a common Graduate College. To this day, all research
oriented doctoral degrees are awarded by the University of Nebraska-not UNL or UNMC or UNO or UNK. There
was a Graduate Council mandated for the new combined Graduate College. Up to that time the UNL Graduate
Council-being the one responsible for doctoral degrees-had been the de facto governing body. I had been given a
seat on this body as UNO's representative, and I was now elected to the new all-university body. The Regents also
specified a Dean of the Graduate College for the new amalgamated faculty, and I served on the search committee.
This person was to be part of the central administration. The chairman of the UNL Chemistry Department (arguably
the most distinguished graduate department at UNL) was finally named to the position. He had worked closely with
faculty at UNMC and was respected there and at UNO by those who knew him. He turned out to be a good choice
and established many of the guidelines that still exist. The position has now been assigned to the Vice President for
Academic Affairs as one of his responsibilities. The last incumbent that I remember was Dr. Henry Holtzclaw, also
of the UNL Chemistry Department. We traveled to a few meetings together and were on very friendly terms. The
individual campuses retained their graduate deans who were needed for local administration of programs. Their
titles now became "Dean for Graduate Studies" rather than "Dean of the Graduate College." At UNO the title and
duties have now been assigned to the Senior Vice Chancellor for Academic and Student Affairs."
As soon as the rules were clear, I went to work on developing a doctoral program in psychology. First we had to
show that we had a qualified faculty. Everyone was encouraged to apply for status as a graduate faculty fellow. We
had excellent success and soon had more people with this designation than any other UNO department. Then I did
my homework on nationwide demand for doctoral level psychologists. This was about 1970, long before internet
searches were available, so it took a bit of effort. Fortunately, I had the Iowa State documentation from a few years
before, so I had a good head start and plenty of suggestions for follow-up research. My proposal should be in the
UNO archives. I had decided that our best strategy would be to emphasize disciplinary areas that were not available
at UNL. Industrial/Organizational Psychology was a natural. There was substantial demand, we had a strong
faculty, the Omaha area had many firms that could supply internships, and there were no other similar programs in
the state. A second specialty area would be child psychology where we had good faculty strength. However, this
would have duplicated part ofa UNL program. We already had some relationships with psychologists at UNMC in
Omaha, several of whom had strengths in the psychobiology of child development. So I worked to strengthen these
ties (we began having regular meetings together) and succeeded in getting their cooperation and support for a
program in "developmental psychobiology." This sounded enough different from child psychology that we could
argue that it wasn't duplicative of UNL programs. Besides, the clout of our UNMC coUeagues counted for a lot. A
third area of strength in the department was quite different. We had long had a very good program in school
psychology, dating back to our cooperation with the Omaha Public School System when we ran the Child Study
Service for them. This did, however, duplicate a doctoral program at UNL-but one in the Teachers College
educational psychology program rather than in the Psychology Department. At the time, this was not an especially
strong program at UNL. So, our approach was to seek their cooperation in offering a joint program where we could
combine or strengths. We ended up with an agreement to try this out for a few years and then re-evaluate it.
Our proposal was sent forward to the Graduate College in 1971 or 1972. By that time, the concept of a single
graduate college for Ph.D. work had been adopted and there was a graduate dean in place in the central
administration. As mentioned earlier, he was a fair and reasonable person, with considerable prestige at UNL. His
approach was to get together all the psychology faculty (UNL's two departments, UNO, and UNMC) to discuss the
issues. This culminated in his forming what he called the "University of Nebraska Graduate Faculty of
Psychology" which could then propose to him (and eventually the Regents) how we wanted to organize doctoral
programs. There was one fact that ended up playing a major role in our organization. UNO was not accredited at the
doctoral level by our national accrediting agency-the Higher Leaming Commission of the North Central
- 17 -
�Association of Colleges and Schools. UNL, of course, did have this accreditation. It was determined that we could
"piggy-back" on this accreditation by establishing cooperative programs. This we did. It was not until many years
later that UNO obtained this accreditation on its own, but the relationship with UNL has continued unchanged.
There are many reasons for this-mostly political.
In summary, we were able to initiate the programs we proposed, including the school psychology program. In school
psychology, though, I perceived that we were something of a threat to the program in Teachers College. They began
strengthening their faculty (as they should have) and doing less and less with us. Finally, when it came time for
evaluation, they claimed that they didn't need us and that, indeed, we were dragging them down in their attempts to
earn accreditation from various professional associations. So, we no longer offered the doctorate in school
psychology. Meanwhile, though, I unearthed the possibility of another approach. UNO's Education College was
already authorized to offer an Educational Specialist degree (Ed.S.) which involved substantial course work beyond
the master's degree (essentially everything required by the Ph.D. except completion ofa dissertation). We were
already teaching most of the courses that would be required. So, I got together with their college dean and worked
out a plan whereby we could offer that degree, too. They seemed glad to have us aboard, if for no other reason than
that we had an extremely strong faculty which made them look good to their professional accrediting agency
(NCATE). The Ed.S. is sufficient for our students to be certified by the state as school psychologists and our
program is accredited by the National Association of School Psychologists, so it works out fairly well. This is
currently the way things stand today-though the psychology faculty would have an easier time procedurally if their
doctoral programs stood on their own completely. Currently students generally do all their work at UNO, but have to
jump through procedural hoops in registering through UNL, etc.
THE RESEARCH COMMITTEE. When UNO's graduate program was recognized as part of the University of
Nebraska we became eligible for various university programs. Actually, we followed the same model as was applied
to the College of Medicine. One of these was the ability to apply for research funds from the university research
committee. Much of the funding came from overhead funds that accrued from various grants and contracts. The
medical college generated many of these funds so there was no question as to their eligibility. Since UNO was
treated like the medical college we also became eligible-though our contribution to the funds was nil. I think that
we did obtain some small amounts initially, but the picture changed with the Regents' decision to set up semiautonomous campuses. At that point, each unit set up their own independent research committees. Actually, UNO's
research committee antedated this decision. Early on some funds had been appropriated to support faculty research
and Dr. Naylor appointed a small ad hoc committee to study the issue and make recommendations, Included were
myself, Vic Blackwell, Bill Walden, and Bob O'Reilly (from the College of Education). This committee finally
grew into the UNO Committee on Research. One interesting (and uncomfortable) part of the assignment was that Dr
Naylor had put into the pot of research monies a fund that Dr. Bail had originally set aside to support a special
project for Dr. Ed Clark of the Dramatic Arts Department. Ed would make an annual trip to New York for about a
week and attend every important production on Broadway-sometimes going to two per day. Then he would return
to Omaha and make himself available as a speaker to anyone who asked him-mostly women's organizations,
service clubs, etc. He was an excellent and entertaining speaker and was much in demand-Le., he earned the cost
of his trip. I heard his talks several times and can attest that they were well done. This was good publicity for
OU/UNO, but now he was competing with researchers for funds. There were many such on the faculty who saw his
trip as a "junket." We continued to support him, but with somewhat reduced funds and eventually he stopped
asking. When the committee organization was more structured everything became more formal; procedural rules
were established, etc. But at least the committee had something to build on.
ENGINEERING PROGRAMS. In my opinion, one of the most poorly handled programs resulting from the "merger''
was the College of Engineering. I don't know the full story, but I was close to many of the UNO engineering
faculty so I was somewhat familiar with their problems. As I saw it, most of the difficulties arose from an
uncooperative "dog in the manger'' attitude on the part of UNL engineering faculty and administration. I suspect that
there were two major aspects to this. First, the big engineering firms in Nebraska tended to be centered in Omaha
rather than Lincoln. Second, the quality of the engineering programs at UNL was not generally strong-at best they
were spotty. UNO had a college of engineering, but it was new and had only two real baccalaureate programs-civil
engineering and industrial engineering.. The UNL programs in these areas were not especially strong and it seemed
to me that the logical plan would be to keep engineering colleges on both campuses, but to move civil and industrial
completely to Omaha and let UNL have exclusive rights to electri.cal, mechanical, chemical, etc. Computer
engineering would have been another question, but it didn't really exist as such in the late 1960's. Anyhow, such a
- 18 -
�solution was not to be, mainly because the dean and his associates seemed venal and self-serving. Instead, the
engineering college at UNO was abolished , the industrial engineering program was done away with, and the faculty
and programs were all made a part of the UNL engineering college. There were some two-year programs in Omaha
that also disappeared. Mostly they were gobbled up by Metro Tech (now Metropolitan Community College) which
claimed jurisdiction over non-baccalaureate programs. In short, it was a messy and unsatisfactory solution. It got
resolved in part some years later with the founding of the Peter Kiewit Institute. That is a story beyond the scope of
these memoirs and one that I knew much less about-though I do have some opinions. I do make a comment or two
in my discussion of Vice Chancellor Ernie Peck.
FACULTY RELATIONSHIPS AMONG THE CAMPUSES. For the most part interpersonal relationships among faculty
on the three campuses were cordial. For example, UNL faculty regularly scheduled lunches with members of the
state unicameral legislature, and they often invited UNO faculty to join in. There had been connections between
UNO and Medical College faculty even in OU days. For example, in the late 1960's I got a call from Dr. Denham
Harman who was doing seminal research on the effects of free radicals and antioxidants in the diet of laboratory
rats. He was looking for someone with a background in applied statistics and was refereed to me. We had a good
discussion and I put him in contact with one of our graduate students who helped with his analysis. There were also
close connections between UNO and UNMC faculties in fields such as biology and biochemistry.
When the UNO Psychology Department proposed doctoral work, relationships between psychology faculties
became much closer. As mentioned elsewhere, UNO made a deliberate effort not to pose a threat to UNL programs
by not proposing anything duplicative of UNL specialties ( except in school psychology which was detailed above).
In particular, we made it clear that UNO had no interest in the field of clinical psychology which was a mainstay of
the UNL program. We were invited to department meetings at UNL and made it a point to send representatives there
regularly. UNMC faculty was already connected with UNL in clinical psychology since most were affiliated with
the Nebraska Psychiatric Institute (NPI) which was a source of internships for many clinical psychology students
from UNL. We had a particularly close relationship with UNMC faculty in the field of developmental
psychobiology and we began holding regular meetings and research seminars with them. We even cooperated in the
area of faculty recruiting and they proved very helpful. Unfortunately, owing largely to funding problems I think,
NPI was eliminated after a few years and most of the psychologists on their staff went elsewhere.
When he became university president, Dr. Ronald Roskens made a concerted attempt to bring faculties together. He
took a three-pronged approach to the issue. First, he began having breakfast meetings for corresponding UNO and
UNL departments. These were held in a motel restaurant about midway between Omaha and Lincoln. There was
always a focus for the meetings, but the emphasis was heavily on getting acquainted with colleagues. Second, he
held regular meetings-about once a semester if I remember correctly--of academic deans and central
administration staff. These were held over lunch, often in an informal setting such as Schramm Park-again about
midway between the two cities. The luncheons were catered by one of the campus food service groups and the food
was always superb. There was an agenda and usually a speaker; but again, there was a strong emphasis on meeting
colleagues. Finally, there was an annual social occasion for deans and other administrators. My recollection is that
they were "black tie" dinner-dances, often at a country club. There was some sort of gift for attendees--! remember
that at one time it was a ham. President Roskens always did things with a flair. Most ofus enjoyed these occasions
immensely, but there were always a few who felt put upon. I recall sitting at one formal event with the dean of the
UNL School of Journalism who deliberately expressed his displeasure by wearing a light tan summer-weight suit.
EXPERIENCES AS DEAN OF ARTS AND SCIENCES
Initially I applied for the position of Dean of Arts and Sciences because of encouragement from Paul Beck and Bob
Harper, both of whom I held in high regard. I applied for the position twice. The first time was in 1970 upon Bob
Harper's returning to the full-time faculty. I recall that there were three ofus from the UNO faculty who were
applicants. One was J. Victor (Vic) Blackwell, chairman of the Art Department-then in the College of Arts and
Sciences. The second was a good friend of mine, John (Jack) Brillhart-Chairman of the Speech Department. And
then there was me. Vic Blackwell was the one chosen and I don't argue with that decision, especially since he had
the greatest administrative experience. I had worked with Vic Blackwell quite a bit in the mid-sixties, so we knew
each other well and were friends. There was never any antagonism among the three of us, nor any hard feelings

Presently, tuition at the University df Omaha is 18 dollars a credit

dollars for non-residents of the
city. Resident tuition at the University of Nebraska is approximately 15 dollars an hour. In addition, Omaha taxpayers will be relieved of the two-mill levy. But
there is more to the idea of "service" than lower tuition and better
education.
In Dr. Naylor's opinion, the University of Omaha (or University of

threshhold of becoming of great

I
U NO - FOUR YEARS AFTER MERGER
by
D. B. Varner
President, University of Nebraska
A statement presented to the Faculty and Staff of the
University of Nebraska at Omaha
April 13, 1972
Eppley Auditorium
We are approaching the fourth anniversary of that date when the Municipal
University of Omaha became the University of Nebraska at Omaha.
I was not a
participant in that decision nor the events which led to the decision.
many of you in this room today - perhaps most of you.
Neither were
Based on the observation of
my 2 6 months, I can say with certainty that these have been hectic, eventful, and
sometimes frustrating early years in this new partnership.
Those experienced in
this kind of undertaking assure me that such occurrences are always fraught with
frustration, and this merger has suffered unusual pains because of at least two
factors:
(1) There was little advance planning and less general understanding
prior to the merger, and (2) shortly after the merger had been achieved, one of
the chief architects of the idea - Chancellor Clifford Hardin - resigned his
position before he had an opportunity to provide the leadership of which he was
so capable.
For more than a year the leadership for the merger was, of necessity,
in a tentative situation - and this, even under the most ideal arrangements, was
destined to create difficulties.
We must credit the talent and patience and good
will of all those involved that so much was achieved during those difficult early
months.
I am personally pleased to have this opportunity to meet with you today for the
primary purpose of reviewing these four years.
It seems appropriate to do so not
�-2-
only in order to make an assessment of those first years after merger, but so that
I may comment directly on some of the matters of concern to you and others on this
campus about the operations of the University of Nebraska as a system.
In the
course of the comments I shall try to speak as candidly as I know how on some
of the specific subjects which, I understand, are causes of anxiety with some on
this campus.
Before turning to more specific topics, let me make two general observations.
The first has to do with my personal background and experience - which relate quite
directly to some of the concerns which exist on the UNO campus today.
In 1959 I moved from the stability and security of a vice presidency at Michigan State University to the chancellorship of a non-existent university on a nonexistent campus.
During the ensuing ten years I enjoyed the pleasures and endured
the pains of creating a ne w institution.
For better or for worse Oakland University
was a satellite campus of Michigan State University - an institution with 104 years
of history as a pioneer land-grant college, with a large graduate and professional
school, and a distinguished football team.
Michigan State University could be charged,
in the judgment of many, with being paternalistic toward Oakland University.
The new
campus, in turn, could have been charged with brashness bordering on the bravado.
No intercollegiate athletics, no fraternities or sororities - none of the usual adornments of the ivy laden campus.
These views were loudly proclaimed.
Oakland Uni-
versity sometimes assumed the posture of a precocious child in the academic community - oftentimes to the displeasure of the parent campus.
For a full decade I lived
in an environment of low-level hostility between sizable segments of the two campuses.
�-3-
I was identified - both physically and emotionally - with the small campus, the
satellite, the affiliate.
You can fully appreciate the moments of anguish which were
mine during those ten years.
It was from that environment that I came to my present position.
My purpose in recalling this background is to say to you very simply and very
directly that I have a deeper feeling for the frustration of this campus in this system
than most of you apparently believe to be possible.
I have been there.
I have lived
through the moments of accommodation which were painfully necessary.
I have won-
dered who really cared about the lonely satellite - who would divert attention from
the admittedly pressing problems of the mother campus to those problems which were
relatively just as pres sing for the younger and smaller campus.
They were just as
real - more so because they were ~problems.
In summary, I am neither unaware of your anxieties nor callous toward your
genuine need for support and understanding.
I came from a similar environment.
The second general observation has to do with the role and function of a system
office.
Before accepting the invitation to come to my current position, I visited with
some experienced and trusted friends who were serving as presidents of systems.
I
received a great deal of advice and warning - and it has all been borne out by my experience of 2 6 months.
Without exception my counselors made it clear that the chief
executive officer of a system will not be loved by the campus components - it simply
is not in the cards.
The very nature of the position makes it subject always to charges
of favoritism, of arbitrary action, of meddling in campus affairs on the one hand and of
�-4ignoring the campus on the other hand, of absentee landlordism, of duplicity, of lack
of support for this or that campus, for always being at the other campuses - wherever
they may be.
In general, the position - by assumption - is Machiavellian in character.
Let me assure you here today that those broad charges are indeed part and parcel of
each campus in this system, although UNO - if my information is correct - may well
be the system leader in this category at the moment.
However, your lofty position
is not unchallenged by the other campuses.
Like most members of the human race I would enjoy being loved by my fellow
man.
However, I do not have that as first on my list of personal priorities - other-
wise I would not have accepted this assignment.
What I do have as my highest per-
sonal priority is to do my job as President of the University of Nebraska to the very
best of my ability - utilizing all the vigor and imagination and competence that I can
muster and all the courage necessary.
If, in the process, this earns the love and
respect and admiration of my colleagues on the campuses, then that is a welcome
bonus - and I shall be grateful.
What is the major role of my office? This is a fair question and I shall answer it.
My job is to provide the leadership, in every way possible, to help make the
University of Nebraska - as a system - the finest educational enterprise which can
be developed with the resources available.
This means that difficult decisions must be made - decisions which in many
instances will be unpopular in some quarters.
some one I those decisions must be made.
But at some point I at some time, by
That happens to be my job.
With the best
advice I can get, with careful consideration of the alternatives available and the
�-5likely consequences of each of those alternatives, I shall make the decision in each
case based on the single criterion of what best serves the goals of the total University and, through the University, the best interests of the State of Nebraska.
From
that point the matter rests with the judgment of the Board of Regents.
Enough of the general observations.
cerns which are of interest to you.
Let us turn to some of the specific con-
I am told that there are deeply held feelings by
many on this campus that UNO has not fared well - that it is a stepchild of the system.
Other frequently reported charges are that the system office is merely an extension of
the Lincoln campus - that no one there really cares about the development of UNO or
about its role.
I am told that in its most extreme form it is held by some that there is
a kind of grand conspiracy designed to keep UNO from emerging, from developing,
from becoming what it can and should become.
Let me be direct in responding to these concerns.
I do so not in a spirit of
defensiveness, but rather in the spirit of reviewing the facts as they exist from my
vantage point. Admittedly I may view these facts with a bias.
The one salient point
which must be made is that neither I, nor my office, has communicated effectively
with the UNO campus - and I propose that we begin today to close that communications gap.
While I do not suggest that we can in this session discuss in depth all
the grievances - real and imagined - which I am told currently exist on this campus,
we can deal with some of the continuing and major concerns prevailing.
I. A Major Concern:
The system staff is basically a UN-L staff and, therefore,
has a built-in bias in favor of UN-L.
�-6The Facts: The system staff has seven principal officers: the president, the
assistant to the president for equal opportunity, the administrative assistant
to the president, the executive vice president for administration, the executive
vice president for academic affairs, the secretary to the Board of Regents, and
the director of public affairs.
These positions are currently held - or will be
shortly - by these persons, listed with their previous educational affiliation:
President: D. B. Varner, Oakland University.
Assistant to the President for Equal Opportunity: Barbara Coffey,
University of Nebraska at Omaha.
Administrative Assistant to the President: Pete Boughn, University of
Nebraska Medical Center.
Executive Vice President for Administration: Howard Neville, Claremont
College.
Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs:
Merk Hobson, University
of Nebraska - Lincoln.
Secretary to the Board of Regents: Ralph Bradley, University of Nebraska
at Omaha.
Director of Public Affairs: Anne Campbell, Lincoln Public Schools.
In addition to these principal officers, the Vice President for Graduate
Education is Dr. Norman Cromwell from the Lincoln campus, selected by a
University-Wide search committee,; and Dr. G. Robert Ross, formerly from the
Lincoln campus, is coordinating a special statewide project.
It may be worth
noting, in responding to this expressed concern, that of the six principal positions on my staff, five have been appointed during my tenure - two came from
�-7UNO, one from the Medical Center, and two from outside the system.
I
believe that even the most critical observer will confess that the evidence
hardly supports the charge.
It should be observed further that one of the most persistent and, in my
judgment, legitimate concerns has been the physical location of the system
office - located precisely where the former Chancellor of the Lincoln campus
historically had his office.
From my first day in this position the Regents
have been dedicated to relocating this office off the Lincoln campus as soon as
finances permitted. At last this is being accomplished. A new building to house
the system staff and the Board of Regents is scheduled for occupany in September
of this year - off the Lincoln campus .
My Conclusion:
There is no substance to the charge that the system staff is
dominated by the UN-L personnel thereby carrying a built-in bias in favor of
the Lincoln campus .
IL A Major Concern: All the promises - real and implied - that UNO would be
substantially advantaged through the merger have proven to be empty promises.
The Facts: My response to this frequently heard assertion comes in several parts:
1) The enrollment at UNO in the last year prior to merger was 5, 766
full-time equivalent students.
In the fall of 1971 the enrollment was 8,750
full-time equivalent students.
This represents a growth of 52% in four years.
1
2) The number of full-time equivalent faculty has grown from 2 6 7 in the
fall of 1967 - the last full academic year prior to merger - to 449 in the fall of
1971, an increase of 68%.
2
�-83) The campus contained, for all practical purposes, two buildings which
were primarily academic at the time of the merger.
Since the merger the All wine
Science Building has been completed, the Kayser building has been completed ,
a new Fine Arts building is nearing completion, funding for a new $ 3 . 5 million
classroom-office building was appropriated last week, and planning money for
a major new library has been provided.
There is a real possibility that this
new library will be under construction within 15 months.
Beyond this, $1 million
has been provided for land acquisition since the merger.
4) The student credit-hour load per full-time equivalent faculty member
has moved from 348 in the fall of 1968 to 287 in the fall of 1971, a reduction
of 17. 5%.
3
This was occurring at a time when teaching loads were increasing
on the Lincoln campus and generally throughout higher education.
While the
student credit hour load per FTE faculty member at UNO was 28 7 in 1971, the
comparable figure for UN-L was 253. As you know, the substantial graduate
and professional programs at UN-L require a heavier input of teaching resources.
It is quite clear that this teaching load will be reduced again in the fall of 1972
on the UNO campus, while it will grow again on the Lincoln campus.
5) A final bit of data on this subject.
In the fall of 1967 the budget
available in support of each full-time equivalent student was $1,023 - the
operating budget from all sources for education and general operating expenses.
In the fall of 1972 this same figure will grow to $1,347 per full-time equivalent
student - an increase of 32 % over the five-year period.
4
My conclusion: Contrary to the suggestion that UNO has not benefited from the
merger, this campus has achieved dramatic improvements in the level of support provided during those five years.
This is all the more noteworthy when we
�-9-
recognize that this was a period of relative austerity in higher education, both
in Nebraska and nationally.
derstood.
funded.
Let me be sure that this conclusion is not misun-
There is no implied notion from my standpoint that UNO is adequately
My point is simply that progress has indeed been substantial during
these years of merger.
III. A Major Concern:
UNO is relatively disadvantaged by the system office when
the budget requests are submitted and, hence, when they are finalized.
The Facts:
The system office recommended to the Board of Regents in September,
1971, that a special operating budget supplement of $100 per full-time equivalent student be recommended for UNO in an effort to improve the relative budget
position of UNO.
The Board unanimously approved this recommendation.
It
should be noted that this recommendation originated in the system office - not
on the UNO campus.
The final operating budget request approved by the Board
of Regents called for an increase in general fund appropriations for UNO of
34.3%, while the increase requested for UN-L was 8.8 %.
5
I am persuaded that
reasonable and informed people would agree that this did not represent budgetary discrimination against UNO.
The final action of the Legislature, after considering Governor Exon' s
recommendation, was reasonably parallel to the Regents' recommendation.
It
deviated only in further widening the gap between the increase for UNO compared to the increase for UN-L.
The final figure gave a general fund increase
of 31. 4% for UNO compared to 3. 5% for the Lincoln campus.
6
The current appropriation comparison may be put another way.
When con-
sideration is given to new dollars appropriated for general operating purposes,
�-10-
UNO received an increase of $796,753, about ten times
$80,110.

UN-L's

My Conclusion: The allegation that the system office is unconcerned about the
relative budgetary support for UNO, or that UNO is chronically disadvantaged
in budget treatment, or that the UNO budget "is made in Lincoln, therefore
naturally short-changed," simply has no basis in fact.
Those who persist in
these charges are either uninformed or deliberately building a divisive issue.
The real tragedy is that these persons have not bothered to examine the facts.
IV, A Major Concern: The UNO faculty is substantially disadvantaged in terms of
compensation when compared with the UN-L faculty.
The Facts: From my earliest days in this position I have stated repeatedly that
as a matter of policy the faculty of the University of Nebraska at Omaha should
be paid salaries as nearly comparable to those paid at the Lincoln campus as
possible, taking into account the qualifications, the experience, and the responsibilities of the persons involved.
In the spirit of furthering this objective,
I appointed an inter-campus committee to study the comparability of faculty
salaries.
This committee was established last May and has worked with some
diligence to bring to me the best possible data on the inequities which currently
exist.
This campus was represented on the committee by Professor Camp in
political science, Professor Hess in sociology, Professor Lane in English, and
Professor Prestwich in marketing.
The Lincoln campus representatives were
Professor Dudek in psychology, Professor Gradwohl in law, Professor Roesler
in economics, and Professor Voss in home economics.
Vice President Neville
�-11-
served as committee chairman.
The committee s ubmitted it s report to the f3oard of Regent s la s t Su.turday
and I suspect most of you here are generally familiar with the findings.
Ac-
cording to their report they confined their comparability measures to 1) the
level of formal education (terminal vs. non-terminal degree) and 2) the number of years of full-time collegiate teaching experience.
The raw data used
in the study was verified by the deans of the appropriate colleges on the two
campuses.
The study was limited to those three colleges on each campus where
there is direct comparability: the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, the Colleges
of Business Administration, and the Colleges of Education.
In order to simplify
the comparison, any added responsibilities because of graduate level instruction
were ignored. Admittedly these broad measures of comparability were somewhat
crude, but the committee felt they were workable.
The committee submitted five findings, but the crucial part of the report
is contained in Finding No. 1:
"1.
There is no compelling evidence that there is a consistent pattern
of salary differentials favoring either UNO or UN-Lover the other campus.
Rather, the study reve aled a number of differentials, some of which favor segments of faculty on each campus.
Further, the study indicated that within e ach
campus there exist unexplained salary differentials between segments of the
faculty."
This statement came as a surprise to me, as I suspect it did to you.
I
had concluded, bas e d strictly on superficial evidence and rumors, that there
was a fairly substantial salary differential between the two campuses.
The
�-12-
report points out that the Lincoln campus tends to be advantaged salarywise
at the higher ranks and th e Omaha cumpus udwrntv.god v.t the lower ranks.
Based on the framework used in this study where a position-by-position comparison of the full-time, 9-month faculty involved in these three colleges was
used, it would require no more than $20,000 to correct those inequities uncovered by this committee in the three colleges combined.
It is interesting to
observe also that this study covered approximately 84% of the total UNO full-time
9-month faculty and approximately 69% of the total UN-L 9-month full-time faculty.
The study does underscore the fact that there are intra-campus inequities
but this comes as news to no one in the academic community here or elsewhere,
and these inequities are a matter of local campus consideration.
My Conclusion:
Based on the results of the study of this intercampus faculty com-
mittee, I can only conclude that the frequently stated and emotionally charged
issue of gross inequities in salary treatment between the two faculties is not
founded in fact.
It would be my hope that each member of this faculty would
secure a copy of the committee report and study it in some detail.
I am quite
certain that many members of the faculties both here and at Lincoln will quarrel
with the methodology used in this study and with some of the definitions of
terms.
Even so, the plain and hard truth, based on the best evidence available,
tells us in the words of the committee report that "there is no compelling evidence that there is a consistent pattern of salary differentials favoring either
UNO or UN-Lover the other campus."

V.
A Major Concern:
The reorganization of the Colle ge of Engi neering is but a
forerunner of additional
II
stepchild relationships between t he Omaha and the
II
Lincoln campuses.
The Facts:
In order to intelligently discuss the reorganization of t h e College of
Engineering, it is necessary to consider the context in which this decision has
been made.
Let me remind you that my office has the responsibility for coordination
where such coordination holds promise for improving the educational program,
and that my office ha s the responsibility for making broad policy decisions
which affect the educational well-being of the entire University . We are a
new system and, as I indicated earlier, a system established with a minimum
of pre-planning.
In establishing this system t~e hope was that it would permit
a more efficient and effective allocation of those resources available to serve
I
the educational needs of Nebraska.
It was in the light of this overriding re-
sponsibility that I spent the first 18 months trying to get some sense of program
identification and organization. After this overview it was my conclusion that
the University can serve its purposes more effectively by making certain program adjustments.
In October of last year I asked the Regents to authorize my office t o t ake
a look at four specific programs with the view of some rearra ngement of admin istrative alignr:nents and, in some cases, physical locations.
The first of these
was the Graduate School of Social Work, which has historically been an integral
part of the Lincoln campus. With the merger in effect and with the Omaha c ampus clearly designated as the urban campus of the System , it seemed only
�-14logical that the Graduate School of Social Work have this campus as it s ba se
of operations rather than the Lincoln campus.
It was my recommendation that
w e physically move and administratively reassign the Graduate School of So cial Work to the UNO campus. This decision was made , although it require d a
great show of educational statesmanship on the part of the faculty, the students,
and the Director of that School to accept the decision gracefully.
because it made better educational sense.
They agreed
That decision is now finalized.
The
Graduate School of Social Work will be a part of the University of Nebraska at
Omaha.
A second area which called for another look was the School of Nursing
which operates exclusively at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Be-
cause there is a shortage of trained nurses and because there is a promising
source of talent in the collegiate population, I proposed that we consider an
extension of the nursing education program to the Lincoln campus with the hope
that the clinical facilities of the several Lincoln hospitals could reinforce the
the academic programs available on the campus.
It was my recommendation
that this extension of the program be offered at the earliest possible date but
with the clear understanding that the Lincoln-based program would be administratively responsible to the Dean of Nursing on the Medical Center campus
and would be considered a part of a unified School of Nursing of the Universit y
of Nebraska. This' recommendation has been approved.
The d e cision has been
finalized, and the plans are under way.
The third area to be studied was the program in pharmacy, again historically located on the Lincoln campus.
It was my judgment that pharmacy
�-15is an integral part of the health care profession and that it made good sense
to have the College of Pharmacy physically and administratively identified
with the program in human medicine.
It was mi recommendation that this
program be physically and administratively moved from the Lincoln campus ,
and assigned to the Medical Center. This location was approved, the action
was finalized, and the physical move will begin this fall.
This decision was
not viewed with cries of joy from either the faculty or the students in the pharmacy program, but they, too, accepted the decision gracefully because they
believed it to be consistent with our efforts to allocate our resources wisely.
This brings us to the College of Engineering at UNO. There is much
history which some of you know and which I shall not retrace today.
I shall
simply point out that the program in engineering education on the Lincoln campus, while substantial in size and in history, is still far from distinguished.
!
The engineering program at UNO in its entirety has averaged fewer than 40
graduates annually over the course of the past five years.
There are currently
!
14 full-time faculty members in the UNO College of Engineering, excluding
the Engineering Technology program.
None of the engineering programs at
UNO are accredited.
From where I viewed the situation in engineering education within the
System, these facts seemed clear:
1.
The engineering education responsibility in this State falls to the
University of Nebraska.
2.
education.
We do not now have even one distinguished program in engineering
�-16-
3.
The people of Nebraska will not support and probably should not
support two major colleges of engineering.
4.
Engineeri~g enrollments are declining nationally, which strongly sug-
gests that we should exercise a good deal of care to avoid overcommitting
our internal resources to programs in engineering which are costly and, for
which there may not be sufficient student demand.
These are dollars which
could be available to strengthen other programs.
In view of these factors, and in keeping with my responsibility to make
each dollar available work to its maximum, I recommended after a series of
consultations with Dean Dennehy, Chancellor Blackwell and Dean Gaines
from UNO, and Chancellor Magrath and Dean Hanna from UN-L that the two
programs in engineering be consolidated administratively into a single College
of Engineering located at Lincoln but serving both campuses, both communities,
and the State. We have made it clear then, as we do now, that no student currently enrolled shall be disadvantaged.
We have made it clear that no faculty
member will be asked to physically move from Omaha to Lincoln. We have emphasized that a quality engineering education opportunity must be provided for
students attending the Omaha campus. We have repeatedly underscored the
fact that graduate engineering programs should be made available on this campus by the combined faculty to meet the engineering needs of this Greater Omaha
community.
This recommendation has been approved and finalized, and we are moving
toward its implementation.
�-17Finally, let me point out that there has been no thought given to any
further such consolidations or reassignments and none are under consideration.
My Conclusion:
The decisions made in each of these four cases were made for
sound educational and economic reasons.
I am in total support of each of
them even though in each case there was a notable lack of enthusiasm on
the part of the persons involved in the programs.
This is both understandable
and inevitable, but again my respon3ibility is to recommend those actions
which appear to be in the best interests of the students, the University, and
the State of Nebraska. This I did and this I shall continue to do.
I have observed, interestingly, that the anguish expressed on the Omaha
campus is at least matched on the Lincoln campus.
There are recurrent rumors
that the next programs to be moved from Lincoln to Omaha are Law and Dentistry.
These rumors are totally unfounded, as are the rumors on this campus that Business Administration and Education are next in line for consolidation. While
these kinds of rumors are great fun at cocktail parties, they have no basis in
fact and I think it is fair to say that they contribute little to the growth and development of the University of Nebraska.
VI. A Major Concern:
The Search Committee for the Chancellor of this campus was
somehow controlled and manipulated by the System office.
The Facts:
I am sure you know that for a combination of reasons we have faced
the necessity in the past twelve months of seeking new Chancellors on each of
the three campuses. In each case we established a search committee based on
generally accepted procedures and in each case we have followed to the best of
�-18I
our ability the recommendations made by these committees. You might be
interested to know that the procedure followed has been e ssentially identical
on each of the campuses.
The committee on the Lincoln campus consisted of five members of the
faculty designated by the faculty itself, three members of the student body
designated by the student government, three members of the administrative
staff designated by the Council of Deans, a representative from the System
office designated by the President, a representative of the Alumni Association,
and a representative of the UNO and Medical Center campuses designated by
those campuses.
The Medical Center committee consisted of five members of the faculty,
two members of the staff, two private practitioners (the President of the Douglas
County Medical Society and the President of the Nebraska State Medical Associa tion), a student, a representative of the System office, and representatives
from the Omaha and Lincoln campuses.
The committee at UNO was composed of five faculty members chosen by
the faculty, three students chosen by the student government, three staff members designated by the Council of Deans and the Acting Chancellor, a representative of the System office, a representative of the alumni, a representative of
the Regents Study Commission, and representatives from the Medical Center
and the Lincoln campus.
The instructions to each committee were essentially the same.
They
were asked to submit no fewer than five nor more than ten names to the Board
of Regents, names representing the most able persons whom they believed
�-19might be available for the position.
They were each advised of the procedure
established by the Board of Regents some time ago that it would be preferred
that the committees not engage in personal interviews.
It is the judgment of
the Board that interviews in many cases cause a likely prospect to withdraw
rather than run the risk of personal embarrassment.
Each committee was in-
structed that its function would be concluded when it submitted the list of
'
nominees - the Board of Regents would make the determination from the list
submitted.
Further, each committee was given my personal assurance that ·..
if
for any reason the choice could not be made from the list submitted, I would
urge the Regents to return to the committee and ask for a supplemental list.
This procedure has been followed with no exceptions.
One may argue, as many have, with the procedure adopted by the Board
of Regents.
There are obviously other methods followed by other universities.
Yet this is a prerogative reserved for the Board of Regents and it is the judgment of the Board that this procedure has been effective for this institution a judgment with which I concur.
The procedure followed at UNO was in no way
different from the procedure followed on the other campuses.
From the first
list submitted, three nominees seemed to have the qualities which all of us
were seeking.
the position.
In order, each of the three declined to give consideration to
It was the Regents' judgn:ient and one which I shared, that we
should ask the committee to reconvene and submit additional names.
In re-
sponse to a direct question from a member of the committee I did, for the first
time in any of the three search procedures, offer the names of two possible
candidates - one in Wisconsin and one in California.
I did so reluctantly and
�-20tried to make it clear that neither of those persons was a personal candidate.
In fact, I had never met either of the gentlemen.
I was simply passing on
recommendations from persons whose judgment I trust.
In making those sug-
gestions I pointed out that there was a growing sense of urgency about getting
this position filled since the budget-making season was approaching rapidly
and since three of the six deanships were interim appointments.
I believe that most reasonable people would have shared my personal resentment at the rather strong implication from some members of the committee
that I was trying to push a personal candidate on the committee - trying to
manipulate the procedure.
That allegation was unfounded, untrue, and unfair.
The committee proceeded with its work and submitted an additional eight names,
none of whom were suggested by me.
As you know, Dr. Ronald W. Ros kens, Executive Vice President of Kent
State University, was approved by the Board of Regents as the new Chancellor.
For your information let me point out that none of the eight candidates on the
list submitted received more votes than did Dr. Ros kens, according to the report by Professor Camp.
He seemed to be quite universally acceptable to the
members of the committee based on the evidence which they were able to acquire.
My own inquiries substantiated the judgment of the committee and I recommended
Dr. Ros kens to the Board of Regents. After a personal visit with the full Board,
the Regents unanimously concurred.
inee.
The position was offered to no other nom-
He was the first choice of those available from my standpoint and from
the standpoint of the Board of Regents, and I am personally delighted that he
had accepted the Chancellorship.
�-21-
My Conclusions:
The unfortunate and unhappy rumors about manipulation of the
Search Committee for the UNO Chancellor simply are not true.
The committee
may not agree with the general guidelines established for their operation, but
it must be recognized that the guidelines for the UNO Search Committee were
the same as those prescribed for the Medical Center and the Lincoln Campus
Search Committees.
I do believe they are workable and that they have worked.
In this very candid and straightforward statement to you today I have attempted
to do what perhaps should have been done months ago.
I have tried to lay before you
as honestly as I know how specific answers to specific rumors which have from time
to time been brought to my attention.
I am sure that others need to be addressed and
they will be in the days and weeks which follow.

lieve them to be.
I am equally sure that many answers
Yet these are the answers as I be-
I have confidence in the fundamental fairness and integrity of the
great majority of those of you assembled, and I urge you to work as diligently as
have I to uncover the truth in response to rumor.
The record is abundantly clear that this campus, far from being neglected and
ignored by the System office, has indeed fared extraordinarily well in the course of
these past two years.
I do not believe there is any evidence which any of you in this
room can submit to substantiate the explicit or implicit allegation that UNO has been
deliberately disadvantaged in its treatment - budgetary or otherwise.
I have elected to make this direct commentary on the concerns prevailing on
this campus for two reasons.
�-22-
First, it is imperative thut facts be the basis for judgments rather than emotion
and rumor.
Second, I am convinced that UNO is now poised for a major period of development as an urban university.
On more occasions than I would want to recount,
both within this State and outside this State, I have contended that the Omaha campus
has an extraordinary opportunity to emerge as a model urban university.
The timing is right, the setting is right, and now with the relative budgetary
advantage which UNO enjoys, we have an opportunity to move boldly to a new plateau of achievement on this campus.
There are many excellent teachers and scholars on this faculty.
I have been
especially impressed with the enthusiasm and the imagination and the quality of
many of the young faculty members who have been assembled during these past two
or three years.
The physical facilities are unfolding to permit breathing room for both man and
vehicle.
I am totally convinced that the leadership in the Omaha community stands ready
to be mobilized in support of this new era at UNO.
There is growing evidence of a
readiness to join hands in building distinction on this campus.
The report of the
Regents Commission involving more than 100 leading citizens of the community serves
as evidence of the eagerness to help in the joining of the University and its constituency.
The fiv e-year plan, even in its approximate form, points out some exciting
areas for growth and development on this campus and it is my hope that you are
�-23approaching with enthusiasm and imagination the refinement of this first approximation.
Beyond all these factors which point to a new era at UNO, let me underscore my
personal enthusiasm for your new Chancellor.

501 Federal
~}fe~u~
Building.
Dr. Cecil Wittson, dean of the
University of Nebraska College
of Medicine, was given a new
title Tuesday by the N.U. Board
of Regents.
(
Dean Wittson was named
president of the University of
Nebraska Medical Center, effec- i..
tive immediately.
r
Chancellor Clifford Hardin said
the new title was in recognition
of the growing importance of the
medical division and in preparation for continued expansion.
In effect, the change gives Dr.
Wittson equal status with Dr.
Kirk E. Naylor, president of the
University of Omaha, w h o is
scheduled to head the University
of Nebraska at Omaha when the
schools merge in July.
Olson Appointed
Dr. Hardin said both men will
be heading an independent division of the university.
In other change, the board appointed Dr. James C. Olson vice(tartcellor for graduate studies
and research.
Dr. Olson, a staff member
since 1956, will continue as dean
of the graduate college and professor of history.
Dr. Wittson was the first director of the Nebraska Psychiatric
Institute and brought national ·
recognition to that institution.
He has been Medical School
dean since 1964.
Dr. Hardin said Dr. Wittson
was instrumental in obtaining the
recent grant of $1,636,07 from
the Public Health Service to help
finance construction of the College of Medicine Library.
68 Pct. of Cost
The grant, announced about
10 days ago, will pay 68 per cent
of the cost.
The board also approved the
purchase of property at 421 South
Forty-first Street, Omaha, for
future development of the medical campus.
University officials said they
are negotiating for the lot and
house for about 30 thousand dollars.

Interviewee: Cecil L. Wittson, M.D., Former Dean of the College of Medicine (19641968) and Former Chancellor of the University of Nebraska Medical
Center (1968-1972)
Interviewer: Bernice M. Hetzner, Former Director of the McGoogan Library
Medicine (1948-1973)
Date:
December 6, 1979
Wittson:
One of the things that isn’t known is how I happened to be president,
from dean to president.
Hetzner:
Well, let’s hear your story on that. I have an impression but I don’t
know whether –
Wittson:
What’s your impression?
Hetzner:
Well, this happened about the time that UNO, the University of
Omaha, became UNO. The University agreed that they would keep a
president at UNO, so-
Wittson:
The meeting occurred at my house and Cliff Hardin and Joe Soshnik
(end of tape)
Univeristy of Omaha Board of Regents at that time. They called and
asked if they could come over to see him along with some of the other
regents of the University and they were in deep and increasing
financial trouble. Joe Soshnik and I cooled our heels for almost two
hours; we didn’t know what was up. We speculated what this might
be because we knew that Omaha University was in trouble. These
people left and during that meeting Cliff agreed that he would use his
influence to, he had more influence than subsequent chancellors have
had, and so he discussed it briefly with Joe and me and said well, yes,
they’ll become a campus so they’ll have to be a separate campus,
Omaha will have to have a separate campus. I said wait a minute
now; you don’t mean the medical center will be a part of the West
Dodge High, and I used the words West Dodge High. No matter what
we were able to do here, your mother institution has a lot to do with
your accreditation, for example.
Hetzner:
Sure.
Wittson:
I said no way could this be part of it. Joe agreed; Cliff thought a few
minutes; all right, but they’re going to have a president. Whoever
�heads this campus has got to be president too, the same title as the
president there. Otherwise they will be unequal; they’ve got to be on
an equal basis to the other two campuses, a separate campus on an
equal basis. Right then and there it was settled because he was able
to carry the Regents and that’s how it occurred. So then I became
president and dean, and the reason why I stayed dean for two years
was that any money I got I wanted to put into new faculty or new
programs of some sort, and Mrs. Classen waa a very, very capable
person, and Pete Boughn permitted me to stay in contact with people
anyway; the more assistants you have the further away you get from
the people doing the work. That’s how it come about.

Smooth Transitio n into UN MC Fold
In the six months since the College of
Dentistry became formally realigned under
Medical Center administration, the initial
flurry of activity has subsided and the College seems to have settled back into the
routine activities of life on Lincoln's East
Campus. Even though the observable physical effects of the realignment will take
time, the excitement and optimism
generated in administrators, faculty and
students have remained unabated.
Perhaps the main reason for the smooth
transition and continued excitement has
been the logic which underlies the realignment. No one is in a better position to
perceive this than Dr. Richard Bradley,
dean of the college. He feels that "It just
makes sense to have our medical and dental
programs educationally close together .
Dentistry has much in common with other
health sciences."
The "sense" of including a college of
dentistry within a health science center has
been recognized by most dental schools in
the United States. Of the 60 accredited dental schools, 55 are located in medical complexes. In 47 of these, the administrative
structure is much like that of the Medical
Center with the academic unit deans reporting to a chancellor or vice president for
health affairs.
The issue of realignment had been under
board of regents consideration since the
early 1970's as a logical extension of its
decision to define the Medical Center as an
autonomous component of the University
of Nebraska.
In 1976, the American Dental Association's commission on accreditation visited
the College of Dentistry and suggested that
its excellent potential could be fully realized
only through a closer liaison with the
Medical Center. When the chancellors of
the Lincoln and Medical Center campuses
proposed realignment last year, they
stressed the strengthening effect that
enhanced interdisciplinary contact would
have on the programs of the College. The
board of regents approved the administrative realignment, effective July 1, 1979.
The realignment has not affected the internal structure and operations of the College. As one of the ten major units of the
Medical Center, it retains the administrative
functions under the direction of the chancellor of the Medical Center. The College
retains primary responsibility for such internal matters as admissions, curriculum ,
degree requirements, and faculty promotion and tenure considerations. Like the administrative functions, most of the courses
offered will remain on the Lincoln Campus.
The Medical Center will serve as a site for
clinical practicums and as an invaluable
interdisciplinary resource.
The ultimate effect of the realignment,
therefore, will be a strengthening of the
programs by bringing administrators, faculty, and students in closer touch with the
health disciplines represented at the
Medical Center.
Dean Bradley noted, "Administratively
it is of great help to be able to work with
other health administrators. There are
Dozen Years for
Dental Dean
Dr. Richard Bradley is rounding out
12 years as dean of the College of Dentistry.
Shortly after he joined the faculty in
1959 he established the department of
periodontics.
He was in private practice in Omaha
for four and one-half years after graduation from the University of Nebraska
College of Dentistry. He took graduate
work in periodontics - treatment of
soft tissues - at the University of Iowa.
His baccalaureate degree is also from
Nebraska . Dr . Bradley attended
Creighton University for pre-dentistry.

dentistry and the other health professions i1.
a similar manner. After being separated
from the other health units for so long, we
now realize how much we have in common
with each other with regard to our interest
in health care."
The faculty has retained most of the
benefits of the Lincoln campus and will
gradually acquire major advantages as a
result of their new relationship to the
Medical Center. They retain such Lincoln
campus benefits as the use of the athletic
facilities and the option to purchase football tickets.
They are slowly becoming assimilated into the Medical Center community as well.
They now belong to the Medical Center
Faculty Senate, and in the future some of
them may extend teaching duties and
research activities to the Omaha campus.
Dean Bradley foresees joint research opportunities as one of the major advantages
for both the dental faculty and the faculty
based on the UNMC campus.
It is the students, howver, who will derive
the greatest benefits from the realignment,
for it seems that they will experience th ,,
"best of both worlds." Students continue
to participate in such Lincoln activities as
sports and commencement, and they retain
such Lincoln privilege:j. as participating in
student government and purchasing football tickets . Student services have been improved by the realignment since both campuses have pooled their resources in
recruiting students, in counseling both prospective and enrolled students, and in
managing financial aid.
Dean Bradley stressed that the most important student benefit is still to come as
the curriculum is revised to make increasing
use of the facilities at the Medical Center
for clinical practice. "I am excited that the
realignment will provide our students the
opportunity to treat the medically compromised patient, for they will com'monly
encounter such patients in their future practices."
If the University's 1980-81 capital construction budget request is approved by the
legislature, permanent clinic space at the
Medical Center could be available toward
the end of 1980. A total of $120,000 has
been requested to renovate an area of
University Hospital to establish a department of hospital dentistry. This would ex
tend dental care to hospital patients anc:.
would offer unique educational opportunities to dental and dental hygiene
students. The proposed dental clinic will be
located on level three of the Clinic Building,
east of the lobby . It will contain three treat-

There never was an intention to move the College of
Dentistry from the East
Campus - UN L.
ment rooms, one supply and service room,
a laboratory, a private office, and a conference room.
Dean Bradley anticipates that the College
will establish a close wo'r king relationship
with the department of family practice, its
future neighbor in the Clinic Building. He
foresees the possibility of a general practice
residency program in dentistry which would
interface with the existing medical residency
training program in family medicine . If this
materializes, the physical examination given
to family practice patients could include an
oral examination by a dentist.
If the Medical Center general operating
budget request for 1980-81 is approved, an
dditional · $250,000 will be allocated to
. Jllow the College of Dentistry to improve
the quality of its educational, research and
service programs. Data from recent years
indicate that the College of Dentistry has
had the lowest total expenditure and the
lowest state appropriation of any public
dental school of its size in the nation .
Part of the proposed budget increase will
be used to augment the number of faculty
members in the College. Last year, 43.8
full-time equivalent clinical faculty
members supervised 54,500 visits to the
clinics in Lincoln while maintaining their
teaching duties. A University Hospital dental clinic would substantially increase their
responsibilities in clinical supervision .
According to Dr. James Griesen, Medical
Center vice-chancellor, additional faculty
members will be necessary not only to meet
the increased clinical demands but also to
allow each faculty member more time for
research. Dental research is the area which
has been slighted in the quest to maintain
sound educational and service programs
during an inflationary period , Dr. Griesen
said.
Despite the budgetary concerns and the
mechanics involved in the realignment pro,ss, daily life at the College of Dentistry
-goes on as if unaffected by the administrative change. The College's 259 dental students, 40 dental hygiene students,
and 22 graduate students continue to follow
their established curricula.
Oral Diagnosis Clinic
The current undergraduate dental program leading to the D.D.S . degree encompasses four academic years . It includes instruction in the basic biomedical sciences
and extensive instruction and experience in
the clinical sciences.
Dental Hygiene Clinic
The dental hygiene program leads to a
baccalaureate degree and certificate in dental hygiene. Students may apply to the twoyear program offered by the College of
Dentistry after two years at an accredited
undergraduate institution .
A wide variety of continuing education
courses for dental science professionals is
offered by the College. Last year it offered
33 continuing education courses which attracted 1,394 registrants . The College will
offer some continuing education courses at
the Medical Center .
Viewed six months after its realignment,
the future of the College of Dentistry appears bright. Its goals reflect a determination to maintain standards of excellence in
education, public service, and research.
Although the daily routine on campus appears unchanged, there is a clear sense of
optimism and anticipation for the improvements to come.

DR. WITTSON GETS NEW TITLE
The Board of Regents gave Dr. Cecil Wittson a new title last week:
president of the Medical Center. He will continue as dean of the College
of Medicine, a position he has held since 1964.
The new title recognizes the growing importance of the medical center
and its continuing expansion, according to Dr. Clifford M. Hardin, Chancellor of the University.
Dr. Wittson thus has the same title as Dr. Kirk Naylor, president of
the University of Omaha, which will become the University of Nebraska at
Omaha when it merges with NU in July.
Dr. Hardin stressed that both men
will be heading independent divisions of the University.
Dr. Wittson also retains his appointment as professor of psychiatry.

". . . the student body held two mass
meetings. A student committee was appointed
to investigate an alleged spy system. On May
29 another mass meeting was held by the students. At this assembly the existence of a spy
system was confirmed by the President of the
University."
Sound like a story out of yesterday's paper doesn't it? Actually this was taken from
the front page of a Gateway dated Friday
September 3, 1935.
The history ,o f this University is as interesting and eventful as that of any other
growing unit of education. Names change and
people are shuffled, but the institution remains
and its heritage remains.
This institution is now on the brink of
another great step. On this occasion it might
be interesting to glance back at yesterday's
papers and see how far we've come and if
things have really changed that much.
This fall's first Gateway will undoubtedly
carry a story about enrollment crossing the
I 0,000 mark. It is interesting to note that the
first fall Gateway in 1938 ·c arried a lead story
with the headline "Record Enrollment Expectri ed to reach Thousand Mark".
Gateway workers were shocked to find
that in 1938 for an entire semester the Gateway printed the slogan "We use the news
that's news to youse" on the front page of
each edition.
Nine Presidents Have Led OU
Since its beginning in 1908, the University of Omaha has had nine presidents, all of
whom have contributed to the growth and
advancement of the University.
The founder and first president was Dr.
Daniel E. Jenkins who served without salary
for the first I I years. The Board of Directors
voted him an annual salary of $4,000 in 1919.
Jenkins had many good offers to leave
for better positions, but he turned them down.
He found happiness here, serving where it was
reeded, even with "odds against him", wrote
the Rev. Charles Herron, a member of the
first faculty.
Dr. Karl F. Wettstone had a short term
as president from 1927 to 1928. He left after
a year because the school was not standardized in accordance with the requirements of
in North Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools, due to financial difficulties. OU was not accredited until 1939.
The third president, Dr. Ernest Wesley
Emery, served from 1928 to 1930. Wesley
believed in a strong, agqressive athletic program and more funds for buildings, equipment and endowments.
Dr. W. Gilbert James served as acting
president at three different times. While Dr.
Jenkins was on leave of absence in 1926 and
1927, and again in 1928 and 1930-31. James,
whose f;elds were English and speech, came
to the University in 1919 as dean of the
college.
Dr. William E. Sealock, president from
1932 to 1936, was the first president of the
municipal university and is credited with rais-
ing a medi.o cre faculty staff to a superior
status.
His refusal to condone an alleged campus
spy ring to report possible communist activity
of faculty members resulted in his ouster by
Regents, Regent and f acuity resignations,
student protests and calls for investigation.
The sixth president of the University,
Rowland Haynes, served from 1936 to 1948.
He was responsible for the expansion of the
School of Adult Education, and the creation
of the College of Applied Arts and Sciences.
He also introduced accreditation by the
North Central Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools.
Dr. Milo Bail, seventh president of the
University, served from 1948 to 1964. At
this time enrollment increased by two-thirds,
the Fieldhouse, Gene Eppley Library, Applied
Arts Building, and Student Center were completed, and the Colleges of Business Administration Education and Adult . Education were
established.
Dr. Leland Traywick became president
followinq Bail but left in 1966. Traywick
fought hard to win a 2 mill increase for OU
which was denied in a city election.
The ninth and current president of OU,
Dr. Kirk Naylor, fac ed with University financial problems, began and successfully accomplished the merger between OU and the University of Nebraska giving OU the chance to
grow and expand. Working closely with
Chancellor Hardin, Dr. Naylor will continue
to supervise progress for the good of Nebraska University students.
On November 4, 1938 the Administration
Building was officially dedicated and OU was
tagged the "million dollar university".
In 1939 the athletic teams of OU
dropped the title Cardinals for the Indians. The
following year there was a great deal of discussion concerning the dropping of football
at OU. Rowland Haynes, then OU President
had commended Chicago University for dropping football. The Gateway ran a poll involving about half the students of the University.
The students voted 6 to I in favor of football.
In 1940 when OU basketball star Don
Pflasterer was asked his secret of success he replied, "Practice and you won't need Wheaties". Now the Dean of Student Personnel, he
then had racked up an abundance of athletic
achievements and planned a career as an
athletic coach.
On the more sensational side, the March
15, 1940 Gateway lead headline read . . .
"Karen Andre Faces Murder Rap". 'I loved
him' says prisoner." The whole thing was a
piece of promotion for Ayn Rand's play "The
Night of January 16" which was to start at
OU that week.
In more recent times, the Gateway noted
expansion in its May 9, 1960 issue. The Applied
Arts, now Engineering, and Student Center
buildings were dedicated.
The OUampi Room first opened its doors
on Monday, May 9, 1960.
Undoubtedly other headlines on new
buildings, new people, and new situations will
fill the Gateway in years to come.
Some will be colorful, some will be repetitous. But all will reflect what this institution
is and where it is going.
�160 Years Of Combined Growth-Progress
President Naylor speaks Omaha
University's case before the Nebraska legislature.
The path · to the merger began in early
January, 1967. Plans were revealed by thenacting-President Kirk Naylor for a proposed
OU-NU merger. The merger bill, LB 736, was
drawn up and passed its first reading in March.
In April the Unicameral passed the OUNU merger bill 31-18. The bill was slated to
take effect July I, 1968, when signed by Governor Norbert Tiemann and after being approved by a vote of the people of Omaha.
In October former Nebraska Governor
Frank Morrison sparked opposition to the
merger when he suggested that OU expand
into Elmwood Park. The "Friend of the Parks"
Committee took up arms over the proposal
which was Morrison's alone. No organized opposition to the merger ever appeared, but
State Senator Henry Pedersen of Omaha was
considered the most,outspoken opponent.
In late October the OU Regents set the
date for the merger election for December 12
to coincide with the city bond election. OU
students began taking an active part in campaigning in November. Students helped by
passing out yard signs and doornob hangers
and by manning the polls on election day.
When election day came, all the work
was rewarded as Omahans said yes to the
merger by a vote of almost four to one. On
the day after election day, NU Chancellor
Clifford Hardin came to Omaha to address
OU Faculty and students who, together with
students in Lincoln, will make Nebraska University the twentieth largest in the nation.
One of Omaha University's most ardent supporters in the Legislature was Scottsbluff
Senator Terry Carpenter, left.
�Make Nebraska S Future Appear Bright
The merger campaign was supported enthusiastically by the students who manned the
polling places, passed out literature and distributed signs.
President Kirk Naylor of Omaha University and Chancellor Clifford
Hardin of Nebraska University met to discuss future plans after the merger election.

A Brand New Era Beckons
Nebraska UAthletic Teams
Omaha athletic teams have enjoyed reasonable success under the label Omaha University. Football squads have played in and
won two bowl games. In 1954 Don Cardwell's
Indians defeated Eastern Kentucky. The 1962
CIC champions downed East Central Oklahoma in the All-Sports Bowl in, Oklahoma
City.
On the diamond, the Indians under coach
Virg Yel kin have not seen too many famines or
failures. In 1959 and 1965, Yelkin guided his
charges to the runner-up spot in the NAIA
national tournament.
This past spring, the baseball Indians were
beaten in the Area tourney by William Jewell,
the eventual NAIA champ.
Wrestling is now enjoying a fast-born
success. Don Benning, present coach, has
guided the mat forf:unes to a runner-up spot in
the NAIA national tourney.
Next season, under the new banner, the
campus will host the NAIA national tournament. Perhaps then the Indians will achieve
the long-awaited national title.
were defeated by Chadron State in the Area
NAIA playoffs in 1967. A victory would have
sent the Indians to the national tourney.
The certain rush of new outstate students
to this campus can only help the athletic program.
Enrollment, according to school officials,
is expected to jump to the point where, in a
few years, the Omaha campus' students will
outnumber those on the Lincoln campus. The
quality of athletes should rise along with the
quantity.
The improvements needed for so long
will be possible with more money available for
building purposes. Stadium lights and permanent stands on the east side could be in the
near future. An addition to the Fieldhouse
has been in the planning stages for years.
As ,o ne looks at the past, it is hard to
imagine that the athletic program of a school
this size could improve, but as one looks ahead
it is hard to envision anything but improvement.
Track fans have cheered record-setting
performances by Ken Gould , Roger Sayers
and Terry Williams.
There are factors that have already been
seen that will improve athletics and certainly
there are other fact.ors which will take place
to add to this improvement.
Basketball, golf and tennis squads, though
not deficient in championships, have not journeyed to national tournaments . The cagers
For sports, initramural or intercollegiate,
the merger must be looked at as an era of
advance.
"The future only, is our goal. We are
never living, but only hoping to live; and looking forward always to being happy, it is inevitable that we never are so."
So said Blaise Pascal, 17th century French
religious philosopher. And yet with the merger of the University of Nebraska and the
Municipal University of Omaha the people
must look forward t.o the future while developing the present.
Dr. Kirk Naylor, president of the Omaha
campus, stated this aptly when he remarked
"We will expand our services and offerings
in the future but never at the cost of maintaining academic excellence."
"We will continue all of our present programs" he continued," and I believe we will
remain largely a metropolitan university."
But the university, in this age of challenge and fear, progress and disappointment,
advancement and reversal, will play and increasingly more important role in the lives of
the members of the community.
Omaha University in its past has spoken
well for this aspect of its curriculum. The
night coures offered on the Omaha campus
are the envy of many other universities. Every
year a large number of citizens attend school
to aid them in their professional ,pursuits.
But the merger will not only usher in a
new era for UNO it will see the passing of
the municipal university in Nebraska.
.
The merger will , in a sense, end the self
imposed isolation which t he university has
placed upon itelf.
The Univerity of Nebraska will be divided
· into three areas. The Linicoln campus, the
Omaha campus, and the Medical school in
Omaha.
Run by the University of Nebraska Board
of Regents, the OU Board of Regents will be
abolished.
The three campuses wi ll place the University of Nebraska twentieth in overall enrollment for universities in the nation.
UNO, located in a large metropolitan
area will experience growth perhaps surpassing the Lincoln campus in the future . The
physical growth of the university will be
forced to keep pace with the increasing enrollment.
The campus this year saw the addition
of a new group of temporary buildings to
house the increased enrollment and f acuity
members who will relieve the pressure of the
booming student increase.
A new science building, sponsored by
UNO and the federal government, is on the
drawing board. The campus is on the move.
In co-ordination with the Lincoln campus
UNO will begin to offer more graduate
courses and open up some fields ,o f doctorate
work.
But the universities of the future, especitlly one located in a large metropolitan area,
will have more responsibilities than the education of the youth. They wil play an important role in the developing of the community.
Already UNO has joined forces with
Creighton University in forming the InterInstitutional Task Force with the purpose of
bringing resources common to both universities to bear on the problem of race relations
in Omaha.
"The university should become an integral part of the community ," Dr. Naylor said,
"We are now beginning to come down out
of our ivory towers and accomplish this."
"The university in the future," said Dr.
Naylor, "will play a role in activities which
we cannot even now begin t o imagine. "

Interviewee: Harry W. McFadden, Jr., M.D., Interim Chancellor of the University of
Nebraska Medical Center (1972, 1976-1977)
Interviewer: Robert S. Wigton, M.D.
Date:
November 30, 2004
McFadden: Cecil had a number of people in the Medical Center, primarily faculty
members, who he took into his confidence and he would come into
your office periodically and sit down and talk about Navy medicine for
a while and then say, ‘Harry,’ or John or whomever, ‘what do you
think about this possibility?’ And he would go on and talk about a
vision for something, some activity or building or what have you,
about the College of Medicine and the new evolving Medical Center.
And, sometimes they were off the wall and you’d simply say, ‘Cecil,
that’s way out of it.’ And, he usually took your word, but other times
you’d think, ‘Well, that’s a pretty good idea.’ And, he might get a
few opinions of that sort, then he would fly with that vision and
seemingly it got done and was accomplished and happened. As a
result of that, I think he evolved and became the first Chancellor of
the Medical Center. Before his time, though, it was in a period of
evolution of growing differences. It wasn’t just a University of
Nebraska Hospital and a Medical Center, it became the College of
Nursing and the College of Pharmacy, and the Dental Center became
involved although located at Lincoln, and so the position as Chancellor
sort of evolved. Cecil, I think, earned the designation of the first
Chancellor of the Medical Center.

l.
The six issues in tomorrow's special
election are in a real sense special. The
problems of sewers, highways and
parks and of police protection and police and fire facilities crowd upon us.
The central problem is money.
It is unrealistic to try to raise all
the money needed by at>~crease in
the property tax levy. _
The sensible answer is an increase
in the city's bonded indebtedness, one
which will not strain the city's credit
or crowd the debt limit.
The problem of the University of
Omaha is · just as ungent. An underfinanced municipal university is in danger of going downhill swiftly. Merger
with the University of Nebraska is the
~ way to save it.
·
·
We believe it should · be clearly
stated that ali six of the special issues
eventually will cost tax money. No
community gets something for nothing, nor should it expect to.
W,. herewith summarize the WorldHerald's position on the issues:
Ballot No. I. The transfer of property and management of the University of Omaha to the University of Nebraska Board of Regents and the creation of the University of Nebraska at
Omaha would give the school a bright
future. It would settle uncertainties for
faculty and students, cut tuition, make
orderly growth possible, bring the advantages of interchange of faculty and
courses with the University of Nebraska, serve this area's needs in professional and technical fields as well as
in moderate-cost 1 i b e r a l arts education. We urge a "yes" vote.
Ballot No. 2. A strong police force
is necessary to keep life and property
reasonably secure. Omaha cannot hire
enough policemen to achieve this without more money. We believe an increase
of 1Yz mills in the property tax ceilin1g
is an acceptable price to pay. We advocate a "yes'' vote.
Ballot No. 3. The old police station
is outworn and outgrown. It no longer
can support adequately the functions
of a modern metropolitan department.
It is a handicap to effective- law enforcement. The Fire Department also
is handicapped by lack of a training
center for advanced and experimental
fire control and prevention techniques.
We strongly support a "ye1;," vote on
a four-million-dollar bond issue for a
new police station and Fire Department
training center.
Ballot No. 4. The $4,500,000 bond
package for streets and highways is
part of a continuing program to keep
abreast of needs, including Interstate
connections, acquisition of right of way,
viaducts and street widening. Every
one who uses Omaha's streets is aware
of these needs. We urge a "yes" vote.
Ballot No. 5. The proposed $2,650,000 of bond money would buy new
park land,· develop present parks, ballfields, golf courses. It would make possible a roller-ice rink, more swimming
schools and tennis courses and would
benefit all parts of the city. We recommend a "yes" vote.
Ballot No. 6, Omahans have been
steadfast in supporting sewer bond issues. City Hall has done a creditable
:ob on sewers with funds available. But
much needs doing, much is_in the emerigency category in areas where sewer
conditions range from antiquated to
intolerable. We urge a "yes" vote for
the $1,500,000 sewer bond proposal.
Finally, we urge all citizens to consider the six proposals carefully~ make
up their minds and go to the polls tomorrow.

part of the operating budget, or is a reserve which is necessary because the university cannot legally go into debt.
.
The recent favorable accreditation has also been mis. interpreted. While it is true that O.U.. has a fine faculty,
how ma_ny of these professors will stay if nothing is done
to alleviate the school's financial plight?
It has been intimated that the taxpayers will lose a
15-million-dollar investment. This statement fails to consider that:
-The main thing the Omaha taxpayers will
lo~e will be the two-mill levy and the burden for ,
financing will be spread throughout the state.
-;-The "taxpayers" have really never been a
significant factor in capital improvements. The
Adm)nistration Building was built by the WPA,
the library by the Eppley Foundation, the student
center with student activity and alumni funds,
and the Engineering Building by 50 per cent Federal matching funds.
Allegations have be,en made that "outstate" interests
will not support O.U. This statement fails to recognize that
four million dollars has already been appropriated by the
Legislature in addition to tacit commitments for capital improvements for the campus.
David J. Olson,
Some Negro students at the
University of Omaha staged a
protest Thursday against the
history curriculullJ. while other
Negro students were rallying
support for the 0. U. merger
with the University of Ne~
braska.
About 25 inen and women
held an hour-long teach-in in
the history department because the school does not offer courses in Negro history.
The protest was sponsored
by the Afro-American Council
for Action. James Dow, a
junior majoring in political
science, said he and Michael
Maroney, a freshman, were cochairmen.
Ernest Chambers, a barber
with militant views on civil
rights, joined the students for
part of the teach-in. He also
met with Dr. A. Stanley Trickett, chairman of the history
department.
Mr. Ch am be r.s said he
wants the 0. U. history curriculum to provide "fair and

Merger: The. Place to Start
I'
Omaha's voters will decide Tuesday
whether they will retain the University of
Omaha at a quasi-frozen financial level or
permit it to merge into a state university
system serving the entire state as well as
the city.
Twice Omaha has refused to finance
desperately needed expansion plans of the
University. But the school, like any institution of higher education, cannot remain
stagnant. It must move forward to keep
pace with the times.
It seems the only way to do so is to
merge with the University of Nebraska as
the first step toward an integrated statewide system of higher education.
Merger in itself may mean little, though
it is the necessary beginning point. What
will count most, in the long run, will be the
quality of education provided by the
merged universities to the youth of Nebraska. That in turn will depend on the
willingness of the taxpayers to support
quality education for their state.
Nebraska has been said to suffer from
"brain drain," meaning that its talented
youth seek other climes for education and
productive work. Perhaps this is because
Nebraskans have yet to conceive vf :1i:3hpr
education as the best investment they can
make in the state's future.
We can make a new beginning in higher education in Nebraska. We must. The
place to start is with the merged University of Nebraska at Omaha-after· a resounding YES vote to ballot No. 1 Tuesday.

Voters Will Decide Today
On University Issue .
U:niversity of Omaha officials Monday
evenmg strongly criticized an unsigned
letter being circulated which calls for a
vot~ against the proposed O.U.-University
of Nebraska menger.
Their criticism came as campaigning
slackened for today's spec i a 1 election at
Call 341-7555
Where do I vote? Are you asking
yourself that question today while other
Omahans go. to the polls to help decide
the future of the University of Omaha
and, to a large degree, of th~ city itself?
If you are, the answer is as close as your
telephone. Dial 341-7555 or 341-0300 and
ask for polling place information. A member of the staff of Doug 1 as County
Election Commissioner Monte Taylor will
tell you the location of your polling place.
The s er vi c e is available until eight
tonight.
which Omahans will decide the fate of four
bond issues, a City Charter amendment to
pe~mit ~he hiring of more policemen and the
umvers1ty merger.
.
About 57 thousand Omahans - 40 per
cent of those eligible - will vote on the six
proposals, Election Commissioner Monte Tay. !or predicted.
The polls will be open from 8 a. m. to
8 p. m. and taverns will be closed during
those hours, Mr. Taylor said.
Each of the proposals will be on a separate
'Vicious'
Copieo( - the anti-merger letter were
of
mailed .Sunday, using envelopes sent through
an autom'a tic-addressing machine.
O.U. President Kirk Naylor said he is
sure Omahans will recognize the letter for
"just what it is - a vicious, unscrupulous
and irresponsible last-mipute attempt to sabotage honest consideration of a vital issue.
"The fact that the party or parties who
issued the letter did not sign it proves beyond
doubt the worthlessness of its contents," Dr.
Naylor said.
Election Commissioner Monte M. Taylor
said the letter was a definite violation of
Nebraska's Corrupt Campaign Practices Act,
passed by the Legi~lature in 1965.
, He said the letter was "an example of
exactly what it (the law) is intended to
control."
Mr. Taylor said there is a possibility
Federal laws were violated, since the campaign literature was circulated through the
mails.
Robert M. Spire, O.U. Board of Regents
president, said he regrets "that any anonymous and inaccurate report is beif!g_ sent

Political Cowardice
Election - eve distribution through
the mail of an unsigned circular urging
Omahans to vote against the University of Omaha merger unquei;;tionably
was a violation of the state law requiring that political literature bear the
names of those responsible for it.
Its distribution was al) act of political cowardice. We hope that the pertinent authorities, county or Federal,
make a diligent investigation to find
those responsible. With the elections
coming up next year, an anest and conviction for this offense might have a
salutary effect.

around. The actual facts are overwhelmingly
in favor of the merger as a great benefit for
Omaha."
·
Calling the merger "absolutely necessary
for this community," Mr. Spire said "it is
not fair to voters to be confused by inaccurate statements" in the letter.
* *
'Inaccuracies'
*
The letter is full of inaccuracies, they said,
citing (1) its comment that the O.U. plant
and equipment is worth 30 million dollars
an d (2) its comment that if the merger is
approved, "students will have to commute
between Omaha and Lincoln."
Dr. Naylor said an engineering survey
has p\aced the value of O.U. buildings and
equipni'ent at 10 million dollars. He said he
did not know the value of 0.U.'s 52 acres
but a 30-million-dollar figure is a "gross
exaggeration."
·
Dr. Naylor said it is "absolutely false" to
say students on the Omaha campus would
have to take any courses in Lincoln if the
merger is approved.
State Senator Henry F. Pedersen, Jr.,
leading opponent of the merger, said he did
not write the letter and had not seen one.
Mr. Pedersen estimated the value of 0.U.
buildings, equipment and land at "conservatively, 15 million dollars ."
* *
Second Letter
!
l
.
As the technically aggrieved party,
the University of Omaha has the initial
responsibility to file a complaint under
the corrupt campaign practices law
about the unsigned anti-merger letter
that was circulated on the eve of the
special election last week.
Douglas County Election Commissioner Monte Taylor says that he is
"strongly inclined" to file a complaint
himself if the university doesn't.
Some one should. Overlooking such
a flagrant violation now would invite
further abuses in the 1968 elections . .

Ralph Bradley, University of Omaha public

second anonymous one he has seen.
More · than a month ago. one was distributed which called the proposed merger a
"swjndle" labeled merger leaders as "moral
and intellectual bankrupts" and offered similar comments, Mr. Bradley said.
Asked how much money the merger com·
mittee had s p e nt, Mr. Bradley sair the
amount was "less than 10 thousand dollars."
All was in the form of private donations, he
said.

Hardin Plans Meeting
To Lay Groundwork
The job of merging the
Universities of Omaha· and
Nebraska will begin today,
N.U. Chancellor Clifford M.
Hardin said Tuesday night.
First steps, he said, will be
to (1) examine programs on
both . campuses to see how
they dovetail and (2) get records in shape to conform to
state accounting procedures.
Dr. Hardin, ob v i o u s I y
pleased with the overwhelming v o t e r approval of the
merger, said he and 0. U. officials will begin planning today while he is here for an
8:30 a. m. student-faculty convocation in the Field House.
Voters approved the merger.
No n e of the 301 precincts
went against the merger. The
total vote was 40,035 in favor
10,753 opposed.
·
Twice Rejected
The vote contrasts with the
last two times O.U. officials
turned to voters. Proposals to
increase the O.U. mill levy in
1963 and 1966 were beaten
with more than 56 per cent of
the voters rejecting them each
time.
The merger, which takes effeet next July l, creates about
the twentieth largest univer~
sity in the nation. It brings together Nebraska's two largest
universities.
S ch o o I officials estimate
that the university next fall
will have more than 29 thousand students, w i t h almost
two-thirds on the L i il c o I n
campus and the rest at the
new University of Nebraska
at (Qmaha.
-~ · Committee N"'xt
Dr) Hardin, who will become top administrative offi .
cer of an institution valued
at 150 million dollars, said a
committee of faculty members of both campuses will be
appointed in about 10 days to
"supervise the mechanics of
the merger." This is the wish
of the six-member N.U. Board
of Regents, w h i c h will become governing body of both
campuses, he said. One of the
regents, business man Richard Herman, is an Omahan.
Chancellor Hardin said he
anticipated that O.U. President Kirk Naylor would be
named "chief executive officer" of the Omaha campus

Omaha Voters Score High ;;
Omaha voters looked at the facts Tuesday and came up with six very positive
decisions. All issues on the ballot, the Omaha University merger with the University
of Nebraska and five local improvement
programs, won the favor of the peopie of
Omaha.
It means a saving for Omahans to
approve the merger because the institution in their city will now come under the
financial umbrella of state government.
But more than that, it means a consolidation that will be an academic asset to both
Lincoln and Omaha.
Both schools will be strengthened as a
result of this development through greater
coordlination of administration, curriculum
and faculty. A few will lament this centralization of effort but it is the device

Express Their Gratitude
To Omaha Elector~te
. University of Omaha officials Tuesday
mght took the election results with an air
of relaxed confidence . ·
About 50 university administrators, staff
members, regents and executive committee
members and their wives gathered in the
Milo Bail Student Center to await the results
of the 0 .U.-University of Nebraska merger .
The outcome brought no expressions of
surprise from the audience.
Sydney Cate, president of the university
merger committee, said the outcome "confirmed the confidence we had throughout the
campaign."
Mr. Cate said he had expected at leasl
a three-to-one victory.
0.U. President Kirk E. Naylor said he
never doubted that the issue would be
approved.
Robert M. Spire, president of the O.U.
Board of Regents, said the election result
was "a vote of confidence in the university

While the university officials were mee ling on the third floor of the student center,
a large group of fa cu 1 t y members and

By 10 p. m., university spokesmen were

The immediate result of the election was '

Dr. Naylor said the University of Nebraska regents will have the responsibility of re·

anticipates that this will be done routinely.

Ahead With Building
Dr. Naylor said he is hopeful that an
appropriate ceremony can be held t his
spring at O.U. to mark the "changing of the
guard."
He said O.U. will pwceed immediately
with plans to construct its three-milliondollar, five story science building, pending
completion of specifications and the unfreezing of Federal money. The Federal Government will provide one-third of the cost with
the university making up the remainder.
Dr. Naylor saiu O.'U. will not receive any
state money until the merger is effective in
July.
The money for the second semester has
already been budgeted.

The Municipal University of Omaha
ends a proud chapter to become something the voters have reason to believe

The four bond issues and the charter amendment mean a new police station, an expanded police force, improved parks, streets, highways and
sewers.
But all these mean something else.
They show that the new pride and new
s p i r i t in Omaha-manifested by the
steel of the 30-story Woodmen Tower,
by the Omaha Hilton and office tower
about to rise on the old Postoffice site,
by the decisions leading toward a citycounty building-are not confined to the
business community and political leaders.
All Omaha wants to share in the
drive to make this a bright, new modern city that will be a magnet to new
business and industry and a better place
in which to live. The p e o p l e have
shown this by their willingness to bond
themselves and tax themselves for improvements they are convinced are necessary.
*
case
*
.,.
,!,
In the
of the university, the
people wanted to rescue a good and
growing school which, like many another municipal university, had fallen
:nto financial difficulties. They listened
to O.U. regents, faculty and students, to
the speakers' bureau, to the hundreds of
volunteers who stormed the electorate
by doorbell and telephone. Then they
chose merger by a 4-to-1 margin.
In the case of the five city issues, the
vote was a strong show of confidence in
the programs and policies of Mayor Al
Sorensen and the City Council.
The Administration handled itself
admirably by devising bond packages
which included only the most urgently
needed improvements. Then it told the
story in full, including the financing
plans, and Omaha voters came through.
*
*
*
It was significant that the sweep
was almost citywide, with every prednct voting for the merger and with
only the South Omaha wards voting
against police expansion and some of
the bond issues. The day of one-sided
South Omaha voting may be fading and
in any event such voting is no longer as
influential a factor as it used to be.
The heavy vote for the police issues, ' excepting in South Omaha, reflects the deter mination of Omaha citizens to support their police force, to
expand its numbers, to provide its officers with the facilities they need and
to do anything else which may be necessary to make the lives and property of
Omahans secure.
Above all, the election results were
a vote of. confj.4'!Pce in a rising city, a
u ~ not only "Can Do,"
e farnf1far lqtal phrase igoes, but
h demonstrated on Tuesday that it
"Will Do."

O.U. OffiCials
Never Doubted
Vote Outcome
\
Express Their Gratitude
To Omaha Elector~te
. University of Omaha officials Tuesday
night took the election results with an air
of relaxed confidence. ·
About 50 university administrators, staff
members, regents and executive committee
members and their wives gathered in the
Milo Bail Student Center to await the results
of the O.U.-University of Nebraska merger.
The outcome brought no expressions of
surprise from the audience.
Sydney Cate, president of the university
merger committee, said the outcome "confirmed the confidence we had throughout the
campaign."
Mr. Cate said he had expected at least
a three-to-one victory.
0.U. President Kirk E. Naylor said he
never doubted that the issue would be
approved.
Robert M. Spire, president of the 0.U.
Board of Regents, said the election result
was "a vote of confidence in the university
and a vote of confidence in the University
of Nebraska."

Hardin at 0. U.

While the university officials were meeting on the third floor of the student center,
a large group of f a c u 1 t y members and
students gathered on the second floor to
'await the returns.
By 10 p. m., university spokesmen were
proclaiming victory.
The immediate result of the election was '
a convocation at 8:30 a. m. today in the
0.U. Fieldhouse. Chancellor Clifford Hardin
of the University of Nebraska spoke.
Dr. Naylor said a complete roster of the
University of Omaha staff and personnel will
be submitted to the N.U. Board of Regents
before the merger takes effect July 1.
Dr. Naylor said the University of Nebraska regents will have the responsibility of reappointing all O.U. personnel. He said he
anticipates that this will be done routinely.
~: * *
Ahead With Building
Dr. Naylor said he is hopeful that an
appropriate ceremony can be held this
spring at O.U. to mark the "changing of the
guard."
He said O.U. will proceed immediately
with plans to construct its three-milliondollar, five story science building, pending
completion of specifications and the unfreezing of Federal money. The Federal Government will provide one-third of the cost with
the university making up the remainder.
Dr. Naylor saio. O.lJ. will not receive any
state money until the merger is effective in
July.
The money for the second semester has
already been budgeted.

An account of the resource
Selections from a scrapbook collected by Dr. Kirk Naylor, President of the University of Omaha, during the years 1967-1968, containing primarily newspaper clippings along with some photographs and ephemera related to the merger of the Municipal University of Omaha (which became the University of Nebraska at Omaha) and the University of Nebraska (which became the University of Nebraska--Lincoln). It is difficult to convey the full effect of this scrapbook in digital form, as nearly every page includes items that are folded, overlapping, or tucked in, such that they must be unfolded or flipped to be viewed in full. Only a few pages from the scrapbook have been digitized here, but the full scrapbook, along with three more scrapbooks documenting Dr. Naylor's time at UNO, may be viewed at the UNO Criss Library Archives and Special Collections.

KSC-NU merger plan deja vu for Bob Spire
-
Two decades ago, University of
Omaha board Chairman Robert Spire
and others predicted that Kearney State
College soon would be part of the University of Nebraska.
Today, Attorney General Spire is
preparing a Nebraska Supreme Court
challenge to the KSC merger bill passed
by the 1989 Legislature.
Spire was chairman of the University
of Omaha board In 1968 when the municipal school became the University of
Nebraska at Omaha. He knows the problems, pressures and potential of such a
merger.
"There are a lot of ironies in life,"
Spire said. "I have to try as best I can to
shut out any of my personal views."
In January 1967, NU and Omaha University regents endorsed the union. The
Legisla lure approved It, and in De<:ember, Omaha voters agrero by a 4-1 margin.
Omaha University's levy was strainIng the taxpayers. Some saw OU as a liability to Omaha, Spire said, but he saw
it differently.
"The merger election Is a great vote
of confidence in both the University of
Omaha and the University of Nebraska.
This will benefit higher education
throughout the entire state," he said In
1967.
Because OU was a city schoo~ no con-
Nebraska public higher education to be
Jack
Kennedy
Educatloo
stitutional questions arose then.
Separate entities
The NU Board of Regents and the
State College Board of Trustees are
separate public constitutional entities.
Spire says that means a constitutional
ameooment Is require! to take supervision of KSC from the St.ate College
Board of Trustees. He hopes the Supreme Court will decide the issue by
January so that legislative action and a
constitutional amendment vote can be
taken rapidly.
The Kearney supporters' fervor
sounded familiar as he pondered the
KSC issue, Spire said.
"We thought the OU merger was important to the state, not just to the city.
Many students could not afford to go
anyplace else," he said.
Terry keyed up
The issue got former state Sen. Terry
Carpenter of Scottsbluff, who wanted all
free, " all keyed up," Spire said.
Omaha backers s:lid the merger
would add prestige and help recruit and
retain faculty, Spire recalled. KSC supporters express similar sentiments
today.
At about the same time the OU-NU
merger talks were going on, Regents
Ch.airman Ben Greenberg was chairman
and Spire v chairman of a group that
ice
promoted post-secondary coordination
but took no st.and on the merger.
"I person.illy favored a super board to
prevent nee<lles.s duplica.tion. I still feel
that way," Spire said.
The issue of whether all public higher
education should be ur.der a single board
is still volaWe today. But one merger
criterion should transcend all others,
Spire said: kwe must look at what is
best for the students.
"Kearney State ought to be a university," he said. "When the Omaha merger
occurred, many people said, 'The next
one will be Kearney.' They thought
UNO's coming in would trigger thal"
Perhaps it has, 22 years later.
Will it work?
An ambivalent view on the Kearney
State merger came from North Platte
Telegraph Editor Keith Blackledge,
member of the State College Board of
Trustees.
"My feeling about Kearney State is
something like that of a father whose
favorite daughter has announced plans
to marry and leave home," Blackledge
said at a hearing conducted earlier this
year. I am naturally reluctant to see her
go. I want to know if the proposed
groom's intentions are honorable and if
he appreciates her unique qualities. I am
willing to give her up, but only if I feel
assured she will be truly happy.
"I wish that the groom would show a
little more enthusiasm for the match. I
expe<:t he can offer her some things I
cannot, but if he restricts her and breaks
her spirit to get her to conform to his
style, it will be a bad marriage."
Colleges make history
On June 2, after the st:ite board voted
to hire an attorney to advise it on the
Kearney State-NU merger, Celann
LaGreca of Omaha was elected chairwoman to succeed Jean Lovell of Gering.
Lovell was the first woman to head
the board in 35 years. The last one, from
Chappell, headed what was then the
Board of Education of State Normal
Schools.
She was Virginia Smith, who ~ill rep. resent the 3rd Congressional Di,strict in
the U.S. House of Representatives until
her current term expires, at which time
she will retire.

Kearney State College - Kearney, NE 68849
January 24, 1989
Torn "Tip" O'Neill, Vice President
Office of Public Relations
Kearney State College
Kearney, Nebraska
Dear Tip:
I'd like to share ·a few thoughts about lobbying for LB 160, the bill to
add Kgc as part of the University system. You've no doubt thought of all these
arguments, in which case you can just throw this away.
But just in case any of
these ideas are useful . . .
The main argument against this bill will no doubt come from Lincoln, and
perhaps also from Omaha.
They're afraid we'll draw money away from UNL and
UNO.
I think this argument can easily be made to look like what it is--selfish and short-sighted. Lincoln senators, not satisfied wmah 80% (or what ever the figure is) of the state budget already being spent in Lincoln, seem
to be objecting to even a small amount trickling beyond the western city limit.
Herb Schimek told ~ that the Board of Regents recently heard from a consultant from North Carolina who told them that consolidation of institutions
within a state into a single statewide system has invariably resulted in
increased funding for all schools within a system.
(They come in with a single,
unified voice.) If this can be substantiated with hard data, the opposition
should effectively be laid to rest on this point.
~
But the real resistance will come in the form of study proposals, as
Governor Orr has already demonstrated.
I wish I knew where to get a copy of
every study that's ever been done on coordination of higher education in Nebraska (along with the total amount spent).
I'd plop them all down, one by one,
on the table of the Education Committee hearing, citing all statements or conclusions that acknowledged the role or uniqueness of Kearney State College.
We need to support Senator Warner's basic argument that it's already been studied
to death, never with any action.
The best time for action may have already
passed in the early 1970's when the state system of community colleges was
formed and Terry Carpenter proposed adding Kearney to the university system.
The argument that must carry the day is that this bill will benefit the
state as a whole. When I try to take a broad, statewide perspective and envision the ideal university in Nebraska (given where we now stand), this proposal
makes perfect sense. A single flagship campus and research center in Lincoln
with a medical center in Omaha and separate branch campuses in the major metropolitan center and the major rural population center that focus primarily on
teaching and service best addresses the state's needs.
Research on urban problems would center in Omaha and research on rural economic development and
�page 2
perhaps agriculture would center in Kearney . Lincoln would retain all current
professional and doctoral programs . I'd think the UNL f aculty would welcome
a proposal that might draw some of the 24000 students away, reducing their
teaching load~ and giving them more opportunities to concentrate on r e search.
Kearney State already serves the entire state (show county-by -county
enrollment maps) and functions as· a university .
(I ' d be sure that all Omaha
senators know how many Omaha-area students attend Kearney State.) This proposal simply acknowledges what we already have and offers the benefit of better
statewide service, accessibilty , planning, and coordination under a single
board.
I ' d be happy to help in this effort in any way I can.
Sincerely ,
q4~

Dear Editor:
I read ·with interest your articles reprinted
from the Grand Island Independent regarding tne University of Nebraska at
Kearney - LB 247 debate. I wish to point
out some inaccuracies and misperceptions
in the article written by Mindy Mozer.
Ms. Mozer appears to be trying to make
the point that the state appropriations "pie"
will remain constant with Kearney State's
addition to the University of Nebraska system. According to Ms. Mozer, the three
other campuses composing the system,
UN-L, UN-0 and the UN-Med Center will
"suffer" because of the "four mouths to
feed" fr~m the same pie.
Ms. Mozer obviously has chosen to ignore that Kearney State is already a statefunded institution and . that the dollars
currently appropriated to Kearney State will
be added to enlarge the "pie." Yes, Kearney
State is underfunded. And yes, Kearney
State will be competing for funds with other
state-funded programs, including those
programs administered by the three other
campuses of the university system.
What Ms. Mozer does not understand is
that Kearney State currently competes for
dollars with the university system. And we
will continue to compete for dollars,
whether we are in the university system or
not.
I am also puzzled by Ms. Mozer's statement that the University system "received
only a 26.9 percent increase in funding. "
According to the legislative fiscal office,
that increase calculates to "orily" $52.3 million in new general fund support. Fifty million is· not an insignificant sum of money,
and most if not all University personnel who
I have come in contact with are pleased and
gratified by the support of the legislature
and Gov. Orr.
As a person with a degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, I certainly am
not threatened that the value of my degree
will fall with the addition of UN-K to the
system, as Ms. Mozer appears to be. And I
certainly do not agree that Kearney will lose
the qualities which have allowed this institution to excel.
The passage of LB 24 7 was more a recognition of what Kearney State has become (a
university) than a prediction of what it
should be in the future. Kearney State students will continue to see professors in the
classroom. They will continue to thnve in a
friendly atmosphere. Kearney State will
continue to be the Nebraska university in a
non-urban-· setting and will continue to attract students from all 93 Nebraska
counties.
More important, a university presence in
greater Nebraska wiiJ be an important step
in unitinJ the urban east with the remainder
of the state. Job creation, investment and positive economic development will enchance
the quality of life in greater Nebraska.
Kearney State is a university. Nebraska
needs only one university system. _
We believe the legislature and governor made the
right choice in the passage of LB 247. And
we will do whatever we can to ensure that
their confidence in our university is
justified.
Thomas J. O'Neill, Jr.
Vice President for
College Relations

A joint committde of the
: U'i1i versi ty of Nebraska: Lincoln and the NU Medical
~
€enter is exploring the
,possibility of putting the dental
college in Lincoln under ad!ll 1
,1
.
,
'
ministrative control of the
medical center. ·
A similar propo~al.was made
by the college's executive committee two years ago and endorsed by the faculty. It never.
was acted upon. ·
Oral surgery and pediatric
dentistry already are at th~
medical center in Omaha.
"That committee report
simply was ill-timed," said Dr.
Eugene Merchant, assistant
dentistry dean who heads the
new joint committee. Both the
medical center and UNL were
changing administrators about
that time, Dr.·Merchant noted.
No concrete recommendations have come from the
new group yet, he said, and it
has no deadline. Faculty input
will be sought later, h~ s~id,
although some. dental faculty
member~ already .have voiced
objections to the plan.
Dr. Richard Bradley, dental
college dean, emphasized that
I
there are no plans to move the
dental college from Lincoln to
Omaha, as. had been rumored
several years ago.
l
Dr. Bradley said the plan
might facilitate training in the
medical professions and aid
research by using a team a pproach. ·All · but two or three ,
dental colleges in.the U.S. are
· units of medical centers, the
dean said.

MEMORANDUM
John Payne
Bill Nester
Kearney State--University of Nebraska merger
October 31, 1988
TO:
FROM:
RE:
DATE:
I.
GOVERNANCE
Of the alternatives stated, the best would be for
Kearney State alone among the fo u r state colleges to be
merged, as a separate campus, in t o the University of Nebraska
system.
Kearney State should certainly not become a branch of
any existing u of N campus.
KSC is simply too large and has
too much to offer the U of N system as a separate campus.
Following are some good reasons for KSC to be merged into the
U of N system as a separate campu s.
A.
KSC MERGER SECURES A MAJOR POPULATION AND POLITICAL
RESOURCE.
The tri-city region is the only major population area in
Nebraska not directly served by the U of N system.
In
addition to Kearney, KSC offers courses in Columbus, York,
Grand Island, Hastings, Ogallala, North Platte, McCook,
Holdrege, Ord and Broken Bow.
KSC's approved service region
is from York (east) to Ogallala (west) and from the Kansas
border (south) to the South Dakota border (north).
Twelve (12) state senators represent the area served by
Kearney State.
B.
KSC HAS PROGRAM BREADTH AND DEPTH AND ACCOUNTS FOR
MAJORITY OF STATE COLLEGE ENROLLMENT, UNDERGRAD AND GRADUATE.
Kearney State, according to the Carnegie Institute, is
one of three Comprehensive One universities in Nebraska (The
others are Creighton and UN-O).
This is good evidence that
KSC's curriculum has evolved from one of primarily teacher
education to one which provides comprehensive programs in a
variety of subject matter.
KSC's enrollment is 60% of the total enrollment in the
�state college system. A Kearne y State--U of N merger would
place nearly all graduate educa t ion within the U of N system,
because the 6,000 graduate stude nts who attend KSC comprise
about 75% of the graduate stude n ts in the state college
system.
If KSC leaves the state co ll ege system, the other state
colleges would be free to be themselves, rather than
attempting to become "mini-Kear ne y States."
C.
MERGER WOULD REDUCE U OF N PROGRAM DELIVERY COSTS TO
AREAS CURRENTLY SERVED BY KEARNEY STATE.
The University of Nebraska will incur significant costs
in delivering programs to greater Nebraska (ie., the
"500-mile campus").
Merger of KSC into the system would
allow for more economical delivery of those courses within
the KSC service region and would remove some political heat
from UN-L for a perceived lack of responsiveness to the needs
of greater Nebraskans. (See dis cu ssion in A. for cities where
Kearney State currently delivers courses).
It will be costly for U of N to compete with Kearney
State in the areas where KSC is entrenched if a merger does
not take place.
D.
MERGER ALLOWS EASIER JUSTIFICATION OF CENTRAL
ADMINISTRATION COSTS.
There has been criticism in certain political circles
of perceived high costs of central administration.
Economies
of scale would provide for an i llusion of greater economy,
based on the addition of KSC's enrollment.
II.
ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
A. ADDITION OF KSC WOULD NOT DENIGRATE "QUALITY" OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA SYSTEM.
The percentage of PH.D's on the KSC faculty has improved
considerably in recent years.
The figure is now more than
63%.
Many departments (examples, chemistry and biology) are
almost 100% PH.Os.
Our honors program continues to draw outstanding
students to Kearney State. Our average ACT scores of
incoming freshman compares favorably to UN-O.
�With the authorization of 50 new faculty positions by
the legislature in 1986, facult y/ student ratios have been
reduced to less than 22-1.
B.
TENURE AND TERMINATION OF FACULTY
There are no significant d if ferences in policy between
KSC and the U of N system.
C.
TRANSFER OF CREDITS
The major difference is tha t KSC's credit transfer
policies are applicable to the e n tire institution, while U of
N's policy is on a college by co l lege basis.
If KSC becomes
part of the U of N system, it is assumed that current
articulation agreements would be subject to review.
D.
ADMISSIONS POLICY
Kearney State has an identi c al admissions policy to UN-L
and UN-0.
E.
LIBRARY
KSC'S library budget has doubled since 1985. There is
still a need for additional resources and for library
automation.
F.
FACULTY ORGANIZATION
Kearney State's faculty is currently organized for
collective bargaining (NEA).
I t is unknown whether the
faculty would reorganize if KSC joined the U of N system.
G.
ROLE AND MISSION
Kearney State should be allowed to offer M.A., M.F.A.,
and M.S. degrees and would cont i nue to pursue that authority.
There is a need for those course offerings within KSC's
region of service.
No other expansion of current programs is
anticipated.
III.
ADMINISTRATION
�A.
DISCUSSION OF ISSUES RELATED TO INCORPORATION OF KSC
INTO UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA SYSTEM.
(i) Computer Hardware and So ftware
a.
ADMINISTRATIVE
Funds have been appropr i ated and installation of
hardware is continuing at KS C for administration.
Additional resources are nee de d, but current equipment is
compatible with U of N.
b.
ACADEMIC
Plans for enhanced acad e mic computing are currently
being prepared by the state c o llege system for
consideration by the legislatu re during the 1989 session.
(ii) Budget
The state college board has requested a budget increase
of 49% for KSC for the next biennium, based on the NCHEMS
study. The request is the first half of a four-year plan to
put KSC into the mid-point of the funding of its peer
institutions.
Both Kearney State and UN- 0 rely heavily upon cash funds
for their operations.
The cash/ general mix is approximately
the same, but UN-0 has more mon e y per student because of its
higher tuition and the commensurate increase in general funds
over Kearney State.
Kearney is at a particular disadvantage for tuition
remissions and scholarships, be c ause the general fund support
is insufficient to properly fun d its academic and
administrative programs.
(iii) Physical Plant
Faculty and classroom space is at a premium on the
Kearney State campus.
Improveme nts are expected with the
current $11 million constructio n project (Cushing) which is
scheduled for completion in 1990.
The proposed third-floor
addition to Founders Hall is the first priority of the Board
�of Trustees and should be appro ve d during the 1989 session.
Other campus priorities in cl ude Copeland Hall renovation
and renovation of the West Cent er Building.
Repairs and
maintenance of existing facilit i es have gone well, and the
campus beautification project has been a great success.
(iv) Telecommunications
KSC has excellent studio fa c ilities for
telecommunications.
Fiber optic cabling has been completed
both north and south of Kearney.
(v)
Benefits
There are no major differences regarding employee
benefits at KSC and U of N.
The state college board
recently approved a proposal to request from the legislature
authority to increase retirement from 6 to 7 percent of gross
salary, which is the same as U o f N.
KSC does offer tuition
benefits for dependents, an option not offered by U of N.
IV.
CONCLUSION
Kearney State is an institution which is certainly
comparable to UN-O in breadth and depth and quality of
programming. We will never be i n the business of offering
doctoral programs and have no desire to do so. We do believe
we have much to offer the University of Nebraska system and
believe the state of Nebraska would benefit greatly if we
were to become part of the Univ e rsity of Nebraska system.

Merger with OU Will Benefit Med Center
The following is the text of a statement issued by Dr. Cecil L. Wittson, dean of
the College of Medicine, regarding the merger of the University of Omaha with the
University of Nebraska.
A merger of the University of Omaha
with the University of Nebraska is certain
to strengthen the education and service
programs of the University of Nebraska
Medical Center.
I can foresee a variety of opportunities,
mutually beneficial not only to the University of Omaha and the Medical Center,
but to the communities each institution
serves.
Academic medicine requires a number
of basic scientists, such as anatomists,
biochemists and physiologists, whose
training requires courses not offered at
the Medical Center, such as language and
physical chemistry. These students must
leave the campus and the city for at
least a part of their training.
That is one area in which a close relationship with the University of Omaha
could benefit the Medical Center.
Certain courses such as biology and
chemistry lend themselves to a pooling
of faculty and laboratories, thus avoiding
duplication and capitalizing on the special
capabilities of each institution.
Our clinical faculty and programs offer
resources which I am sure could assist
educational, social and behavioral science
programs at the University of Omaha, and
could be assisted in turn. Combined student health services certainly present an
attractive economy.
I can visualize a joint approach to
urban health problems, developed by the
faculties of both campuses, as a positive
force to the community.
But the most important opportunity
offered by a close relationship between
the two campuses would be the development of cooperative programs in the
education and training of allied health
personnel.
There is a great and growing demand
for these people, a demand created by
the complexities of modern medicine.
These technical and professional personnel require both basic education and
clinical training. Their training lends itself
ideally to a cooperative program of an
undergraduate university and a graduate
medical school.
We need medical technologists, surgical
technicians, physical therapists, medical
record librarians, nursing home administrators, radiological technologists, child
care specialists, nutritionists, dietitians,
physicians' office assistants, medical electronic data processors - to mention a few.
We need them, but, most often, they
are not there. There are too few of them
to go around. We must train more of
these allied health personnel as fast, as
efficiently and as effectively as possible.
Already the pattern is set in our School
of Nursing collegiate degree program,
where students take their first year of
study at an undergraduate college or
university - many at the University of
Omaha.
Finally, throughout the nation medical
schools are re-evaluating curriculum in
the light of changing scientific and social
techniques and knowledge. Reflecting
also on the continuing shortage of physicians, I cannot help but see, at least as
a possibility, the development of an accelerated program for the education and
training of doctors, if the merger of the
University of Omaha with the University
of Nebraska is achieved.

Nursing Program Spelled Out By Merger Committee
The University of Nebraska-Unive rsity of Omaha Merger Committee has
approved plans for a single program to serve all students seeking to earn
a bachelor's degree in nursing at the University of Nebraska.
The baccalaureate program in nursing offered by the University of Omaha is for registered nurses only and the program is not an accredited pro~ram.
Both beginning and registered nurse students enroll in the University
Nebraska's baccalaureate program, which is accredited by the State Board
~f Nurse Examiners and by the National League for Nursing.
Beginning in the summer of 1968 all new students will enroll in the
program offered by the University of Nebraska School of Nursing.
The liberal arts courses may be taken at any accredited college or university, but
the nursing courses will be offered only at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
Registered nurse students currently in the nursing program at the University of Omaha may complete the work for the baccalaureate degree at Omaha University, but all nursing courses must be completed during the academic
year 1968-69.
Upon completion of the program Omaha University will award the
degree.
Those registered nurse students enrolled at Omaha University who wish to
complete an accredited program may complete the ,non-nursing courses at the
University of Nebraska at Omaha and transfer to the University of Nebraska
Medical Center to complete the nursing requirements.
They must also submit
in writing their study plans by July 1, 1968. The University of Nebraska
College of Medicine would then award the degree.

Vol. 20, No. 11

Public Information Ph. 4453
The School of Nursing will soon become the
College of Nursing. University regents, at their
meeting last week, recommended the change.
The next step is for approval by the state legislature.
NURSING SOON
TO BECOME COLLEGE
Chancellor Cecil Wittson said the change would not involve any increase in operating
costs.
"The School of Nursing is already effectively a college in that it has its own dean,
associate deans and department chairmen," Chancellor Wittson said. He added that
Dean Rena Boyle of the School reports directly to the chancellor.
The chancellor noted that a number of years ago, the Medical Center was primarily a
College of Medicine with nursing attached. The director of the nursing school reported
to the dean of the College of Medicine.
Chancellor Wittson explained that with the general growth of the health professions
and expansion at the Medical Center, the School of Nursing too has expanded in terms
of its numbers of students, programs offered and in faculty.

PRESIDENT NESTER, TESTIMONY ON LB 160
Chairman Withem, members of the Education Committee, my
name is William Nester, and I am president of Kearney State
College.
I am here to testify in favor of LB 160.
I thank
you and I thank the members of the State College Board of
Trustees, who have allowed me to represent my constituency,
the faculty, staff and students at Kearney State.
I believe there are really only two issues which are
inherent in the discussion of the merits of LB 160.
is Kearney State a University?
University,
two?
First,
Second, if it is a
then does Nebraska need one University system or
My comments will center on the first issue, because the
second issue is a political decision and will be made by you
and the Governor, as only you have the statutory authority to
make such decisions.
First, some background on Kearney State.
I have handed
out some materials showing the significant growth exhibited
by our institution over the past 30 years.
Kearney State had
1608 students in 1958, and 9275 last fall.
There are 602
�universities in the United States which are smaller than
Kearney State; there are only four four-year colleges which
are larger.
Kearney State has exhibited great service to the central
portion of Nebraska.
We offer courses in Ogallala, North
Platte, McCook, Lexington, Holdrege, Grand Island, Columbus
and York.
More than 90 percent of our FTE students, however,
are those students taking courses in Kearney.
We also offer
service through our Nebraska Business Development Center, our
Center for Rural Economic Development, the Nebraska Art
Collection, our in-service teacher training and many other
types of services.
Our students come from all 93 Nebraska counties.
We are
one of two institutions in Nebraska, the other being UN-L,
which are considered to be "statewide" in nature.
Ninety-eight percent of our students are residents of
Nebraska.
Our numbers of first time freshmen enrolled is
second only to UN-Lin the state of Nebraska.
We also serve a significant percentage of graduate
students at Kearney State.
Of the 14,018 different faces who
�attended classes for credit at Kearney State during the
1987-88 academic year, more than 5,900 were graduate division
students.
About 80 percent of the graduate students in the
state college system are from Kearney State.
We offer a diversity of programs at Kearney State,
including 32 undergraduate and 19 graduate programs.
We
offer five bachelor's degrees, three masters, and the
specialist degree in education.
Kearney State is organizationally structured as a
University.
It is primarily a teaching institution, but the
faculty are engaged in significant applied research for the
betterment of the region and the state.
Rural economic
development has been a major focus of those research efforts.
What factors determine whether an institution is a
college or university?
certainly qualifies.
First, size, of which Kearney State
Second, quality and diversity of
programming, and Kearney State also qualifies under those
criteria.
Third,
research initiatives, and Kearney State has
developed a major role in applied research in greater
Nebraska.
Fourth, etc.
�TALK ABOUT CARNEGIE COMMISSION
TALK ABOUT COORDINATING COMMISSION CRITERIA
CONCLUDE WITH DE FACTO UNIVERSITY
II.
GOVERNANCE
WHAT WILL IT DO FOR NEBRASKA?
TALK ABOUT TWO NEBRASKAS,
TELL HOW THIS WILL BRIDGE THE GAP.
TALK ABOUT BENEFIT WHICH WILL ACCRUE TO GREATER
NEBRASKA.
TALK ABOUT POLITICAL DECISION--YOU MERELY GIVE OPINION,
IT IS UP TO POLICY MAKERS TO DETERMINE LONG-RANGE BENEFITS
AND DETRIMENTS.
III.

toward a degree, will be phased out.
✓
Medical Technology--A joint UN-OU program is being developed with an
eye toward identifying med techs early in their college career, expo s ing
them to clinical environment and providing counselling. The possibilitvof
using other Omaha hospitals for clinical training is being explored.

Special Education--Special education programs at OU will be coordinated
with health related activites at tl1e Medical Center, such as the handicapped
children's clinic.
Fringe Benefits--Efforts are being made to assure comparability among
faculties.

Interviewee: Rena E. Boyle, Ph.D., Former Dean of the College of Nursing (19721979)
Interviewer: Bernice M. Hetzner, Former Director of the McGoogan Library of
Medicine (1948-1973)
Date:
July 6, 1979
Hetzner:
This school is very important on the campus and I hope that this
record will be available to scholars in the future so they can see where
we’ve been.
Boyle:
We didn’t mention that transition in 1968-1969 from school to
college, but Dr. Wittson had asked me several times when I thought it
was time to have a college. I said not until we had both the graduate
and the undergraduate programs firmly established. Then, just before
he left, we wrote the materials, presented them to the Regents, and of
course, they had to go to the Legislature. Again Nebraska was
supportive of nursing and the college and was voted unanimously by
both groups.
Hetzner:
Yes, there was no question about it. It just went right through. It
was the logical development and. . .
Boyle:
It was good timing for it.
Hetzner:
Here, again, we go back to our friend, Dr. Wittson. He was the
master of timing, it seemed to me.

Interviewee: Rena E. Boyle, Ph.D., Former Dean of the College of Nursing (19721979)
Interviewer: Bernice M. Hetzner, Former Director of the McGoogan Library of
Medicine (1948-1973)
Date:
July 6, 1979
Boyle:
One of the things that came up very early was the fact that the
University of Omaha had a program for registered nurses. It led to a
baccalaureate degree in nursing, but it had no nursing. It had a course
in administration and in supervision, but nothing in clinical nursing. At
the time in the University, President Hardin had said there would be
just one nursing program and that it would be accredited.
That was quite an experience, too. How do you phase out a program?
The person who headed the program couldn’t have been more helpful.
We had a committee with more than half from UNO, from engineering,
from counseling, from liberal arts-you name it. I remember Dr.
Hodgson from here was on it and two of us from nursing. We were
able to plan so that the students in UNO’s program could either finish
it within the twelve month period or else come into the program here.
Much to my delight, it only hit the newspapers twice and in very small
articles and even those comments were not too negative. But it was
a very large program; they had over 150 in it.
Hetzner:
It must have gone out quietly because I don’t remember any great
fuss about it.
Boyle:
There really wasn’t and UNO has always been very supportive of the
nursing program.
