Campus I spirit and traditions would be ! strengthened through such a com- j mon meeting ground, he aeciarea. . An extract of his address fol-; lows: j "A union builu.ng somewhere in the plan of our new campus would be most appropriate and fitting. It ' would contain comfortable and 1 spacious lounging rooms, study rooms, and bouse a university cafeteria, permitting Hamlet to give his soliloquy without the ac companying clatter of pots and pans. Hotel accommodations would be provided for graduatea return- ( ing to the citv. As in other schools it would be the center for all ac tivities of the men students. The result will be a community of in terest and a unified student body. The building will not be for aouth siders. for nortfisiders. nor for the unorganized, but every Cornhusker will be on a parity of common spirit.
