Clark Named To Study Controls On State's TV
The Legislature's Education Committee killed LB180 by a 6-1 vote after a public hearing. Sen. Lester Harsh proposed placing state colleges under the University of Nebraska Board of Regents. A subcommittee will study potential controls on programming by the Nebraska Educational Television Network. Spies and librarians owe a debt to John Dancer of Manchester, England, who in 1839 combined photography and microscopy to microphotograph a document.
