18 The Lincoln Star The Lincoln Star 13 Concentrating Engineering NU At Lincoln Is Urged By LUCILLE HOWARD Star Staff Writer Omaha Consultants studying the University of Nebraska engineering programs at Lincoln and Omaha night recommended concentrating the engineering program at Lincoln and expanding the technology program at Omaha. The upper division program courses required for an engineering degree taken after the first two years in school should be phased out at Omaha and moved to Lincoln. the three consultants suggested. A faculty engineering program committee, including representatives from both Lincoln and Omaha, generally concurred with the proposals. 1 Revised Later The ecommendations.

Members of the engineering profession in Omaha will hear the reports May 9. Serving as consultants for were Oklahoma State University engineering Dean M. H.

Lohmann, Vanderbilt University professor of engineering management Dr. -Merritt A. Williamson, and University of Wisconsin engineering Dean Kurt F. Wendt. The faculty committee included NU engineering Dean John H.

Davis, and Niles II. Barnard, James C. Wolford, James Q. Hossack, Edwin E. Kinney and Anson D.

Marston. Both the consultants and the faculty group agreed the state afford to continue or to develop unnecessary duplication i engineering programs and that every effort must be made to assure high quality in engineering education and At Lincoln Both groups indicated that after the freshman and sophomore years of engineering education at Omaha, students should take their upper division courses at Lincoln. Phasing out of the Omaha upper division engineering program should be accomplished by the 197173 biennium, according to the faculty recommendations. However, the number of students enrolled in civil engineering at Omaha and the large need for civil engineers in the Omaha the faculty committee recommended continuing the civil engineering programs at UNO through the upper division. With such a structure, UNO faculty would be involved in engineering programs at all undergraduate and graduate levels, it was pointed out.

In addition, part-time studenH in civil engineering would be able to finish requirements while partially employed. The consultants proposed that a degree pro; gram in engineering be established on both campuses, noting the need in Omaha for graduate level courses for engineers employed in the area. A master of science degree from should be given without designation as to geographic location to avoid Mrs. Kay Nelson Heads Nebraska Dental Hygienists About 40 dental hygienists from across the state met in Lincoln Monday for the annual meeting of the Nebraska Dental Association. an implication that there is a difference in quality of education, the consultants stated.

The consultants said that due to the necessity for time study and participation in original research, Ph.D. degree should be completed only in Lincoln. Offered Jointly Recommendations from the faculty group indicated that courses and programs leading toward graduate degrees in various fields of engineering on both campuses wdll be offered jointly by the faculties of both campuses. The faculty proposal, however, was to offer programs at UNO predominantly of design orientation and to offer programs of both design and research orientation at Lincoln. Better support and expanded offerings were recommended for the technical institute and industrial technology programs at Omaha.

Joint faculty appointments by the University Medical Center and UNO were also suggested. of its convenient location to most of the industries of the Omaha campus should be encouraged to provide noncredit short courses for adult education to upgrade he technical community. according to the consultants.

County officials last week had expressed criticism of the Lincoln General Hospital Board of Trustees for voting to raze the old building before the county had made a decision on using the site for a nursing home. The nursing home advisory committee, meeting i County ommissioners William Grossman and Ralph Harlan, also called for nursing home care to be at the care.

However, the nursing home advisory group also agreed, the Kearney proposal still would not solve the problem because the low level of reimbursement for county patients authorized by the state hinders development of nursing home care. A committee was appointed to develop a presentation for the Budget Committee urging an increased reimbursement formula. Mr. Towle became a justice of the peace in 1916, but resigned in 1917 to enter the naval air service in World War I. He returned to Lincoln after the war and became deputy county attorney.

Central City College and Nebraska Wesleyan University. He was one of the few coaches in Nebraska prep history as he coached Central City High teams by mail.
