Tenacity of WNTC Cosmetology Program Amid 1976 77 Trials
The Western Nebraska Technical College cosmetology program weathered delays and battles over funding site purchase and remodeling. Board actions through 1976 and early 1977 included purchasing the Marathon Building for 125000, approval of remodeling bids, accreditation success, and legal challenges. Key figures include WTCCA board members, architect Tracy Nelson, and instructor hire Floy Stuss. The project faced a Nebraska Supreme Court ruling, building code concerns, and funding shifts, with the program set to begin January 10 and accreditation achieved January 13 1977.
