Hiram Scott Plan Aims At Acceptance in Nebraska
Senate plan to amend SB179 seeks to ease support for NU takeover of the former Hiram Scott College campus in Scottsbluff. The amendment would define broad areas for rural health care, continuing education in agriculture and engineering, with NU officials noting cooperation with Nebraska Western and Chadron State Colleges. President Warner says no new NU programs will compete and cites NIH interest and possible future funding. Dr Brandon McDonald of Kearney State says the new facts shift views on the issue.

Nebraska sales growth trails national pace in December
Nebraska's overall business activity rose in December but most sectors lagged the national rise. The state dollar-volume index reached 155.5 percent of the 1967 average, up 0.5 points from November, driven mainly by higher agricultural prices. Construction activity also surged, while other indicators held steady or fell. Retail growth from 1971 to 1972 was broadly based, with 7.5 percent minimum gains.
