"UNO - Four Years After Merger" by D.B. Varner
NU-OU Merger
"UNO - Four Years After Merger" is a 24-page document written by D. B. Varner, President of the University of Nebraska, as a statement presented to the faculty and staff of the University of Nebraska at Omaha on April 13, 1972. The document includes two pages of footnotes, with some statisical comparisons of the university's 1967/1968 and 1972/1973 academic years. In this presentation, Varner countered some of the concerns and anxieties felt by the UNO campus community with facts and statistics showing that the university was undergoing a period of massive growth and positive improvements.

Each exterior page appears as a front page, printed tete-beche with one another. One features articles about OU history, and the other looking forward to UNO's new identity. Inside is a two-page spread featuring photographs and drawings related to the merger.

Vote Yes for a better Omaha brochure
NU-OU Merger
Eight-page booklet, 4" x 7.5", printed with blue text on white paper, detailing all six measures which were to be decided in the December 12, 1967, special election in the City of Omaha. The six ballot issues, in order, were merger of Omaha University with the University of Nebraska, bonds for new police headquarters and fire training facilities, charter amendment to provide additional policemen and equipment, bonds for street and highway construction and improvements, bonds for park and recreational facilities, and bonds for sewer construction and improvement. The brochure encourages a "yes" vote on all six measures, suggesting that collectively, the net result would not increase taxes. The brochure argues that the O.U.-N.U. merger would result in enough tax savings to completely offset the cost of the additional police officers and equipment. The brochure was funded by the Citizens Committee.

Kirk Naylor Scrapbook #3: OU/NU Merger Related Documents, 1967-68
NU-OU Merger
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.
