Professor William Utley heads Omaha's Charter Convention

From the September 1956 issue of the University of Omaha Alumni Newsletter

 

Alumni remember Prof. William T. Utley both as an instructor and as a student of government. Lately he added a new title: coordinator of Omaha's Charter Convention.

 

As coordinator, Mr. Utley arranges meetings, directs information and contacts civic groups and individuals for opinions. His job ends Sept. 15 when the final charter draft is presented to the City Council.

 

Though this job is "time consuming," Mr. Utley keeps up with his positions as chairman of the History and Government Department and director of the Institute on World Affairs.

 

Mr. Utley sees alumni as important in each of his three interests: "Alumni take their government and their alma mater seriously. They have become a vital element through their interest in local and national government, their annual sponsorship of the Institute, and their scholarship program."
