The Transition Three hundred and sixty-five days have passed since the last Tomahawk. This year has been like many others. Courses, teachers, and friends have been met and assimilated into our experiences. But this last year has also been unique. The changes at OU have given us a chance for ourselves to develop in ways we never have been able to in earlier years. Some of us have taken advantage of this; others have not. We have the opportunity to advance culturally, socially, and politically besides intellectually. This year has been an ending and a beginning for us. The end of our municipal university The beginning of the twentieth largest univer- sity in the nation The end of one type of administration The beginning of the University Senate and a new Student Council Constitution These changes and others are reflected in these pages, but next year and the following years will show more expansion. The seniors should look back with pride at what they have achieved; the freshmen must look forward to what still may be gained. — The 1968 Tomahawk Staff

OU-NU Merger -Yes The path to merger began in early January, 1967. Plans were revealed by then- acting-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 OU-NU merger bill 31-18. The bill was slated to take effect July 1, 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 Friends 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 a city bond election. OU students began taking an active part in campaigning in November. Students helped by passing out yard signs and door- nob 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 chan- cellor Clifford Hardin came to Omaha to address OU Faculty and students who, together with the students in Lincoln, will make Nebraska University the twentieth largest in the nation. President Naylor presents OU ' s case to the Nebraska Unicameral.
