We need a new ImiJdin;

Tho rule is csHt'iitiall.v sound, but there in ono
feature, of it which Is wenk. That is in re

ictu rued.
I It is ncnrly Impossible for ntulonts living

j tako the books to the library, mid then go to
Home far flung point on the campun m time
for an eight o'clock class. To miy the least,
it is very inconvenient.
If it would work no Imrdahip on the other
members of the cIiins not to have tho books in
tho library until nine o'clock tho rules should
be changed. And the actual number of stu
dents who uno books in the library so early in
the morning is veiy small.
It is not thought necessary to return books
by eight a. in. in other schools. For instance,
students in the University of Colorado need
not return books until nine o'clock. "Why not
adopt the same hour on the Nebraska campus?

one ourselves, for our own benefit. As long
as it seems to be up to the student body to
erect campus buildings, keep Lincoln business
houses ruunlug at a profit a nice healthy
profit, too and take charge of things in gen
eral, tlifcre would be no use in putting up a
structure to house more of these instructors,
that molest our every waking hour.
Let's iyt up a real student union building.
Kvery other school in the middle west lias
one: Michigan has a beautiful student build
ing, Minnesota. Wisconsin. Iowa and Iowa
State, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Colorado
every university and college in the neighbor
hood. Many of these institutions are smaller
schools tHan Nebraska, yet the fact remains
they all "llave student union buildings. Ne
braska has none.
What js a union building'' The students
.who visited Kansas university during thf foot
ball season last fall will remember the K. L
student union, with its spacious, finely fur
nished lounge, its ample, ball rot m floor, stu
dent activities offices, and every convenience
possible r the student body to enjoy.
-
In the basement or ground floor of such a
building would be a large, up-to-date cafeteria
and ample kitchens. Private dining rooms
might he provided for organization dinners
and other events.
On tli first floor would he a large lounge,
veil furnished and lighted, for student con
venience. , Beading rooms and study facilities
would be provided- Offices would be 'includ
ed for all student activities and organizations;
possibly all student publications would be
housed in. the union building. Sun parlors,
with curtained off inclosures. foriu n part of
Iowa's beautiful union building. Access to a
soda fountain and buffet is provided in this
structure, as well.
Ballroom space is provided in every known
dou building, for all university parties,
dances of .Greek-letter organizations, and other
social affairs. Ample checking facilities are
likewise included iu the plans.
A theater or auditorium of iargo capacity
is another feature of several of the buildings
in neighboring schools, student dramatic
presentations would be staged in this unit,
which wptild also be used for all university
convocations, concerts, speeches, opera, and
similar events. Dressing rooms and offices
would be provided for the University Players
in this unit of the structure, with tiubrooms
for dramatic organizations and musical so
cieties. Obviously, such a building is intended for
Ihe benefit of students, and students alone.
Htudents,;then, must raise the cash. Every
student union building at the various institu
tions that surround Nebraska was built and
paid for by student and alumni contributions.
The cost is estimated at SMiiioiOO. This total
could be raised over a period of perhaps five
years, with perhaps the first unit, complete in
itself, to be erected and paid for in two years.
This first unit will not include a theater or
auditorium. Otherwise it will be as complete
a union building as any in the middle west.
Student Union Building Looms as Possi
bility," said a headline iu The Daily Nebras
kan for May 28. last spring. It was discussed
by the Alumni council, advocated by Dean
Thompson and Professor Schramm and all the
members of the council, and discussed some
more. It is still busy looming.
We are tired of buildings that loom as pos
sibilities. We. are tired of beautiful campuses
that loom, and loom, aud loom, and never quite
arrive. We are tired of waiting for a student
union building. If anyone enters our office
with suggestions about this aud that, that
looms,'' we guarantee you sincerely we will
shoot him. immediately and efficiently.
No doubt we are youthfully over-anxious to
see Nebraska a real honest-to-goodness univer
sity instead of a pre-war relic. But the fact
remains; other ncIiomIs are years ahead of us.
Can't we at least make an effort to catch up
with them? Kvery other institution of equal
standing in the middle west has a tine union
building. Nebraska's own uui'n building is
still quite capably loouriug.
L4's get radical and build one ourselves. It

Stay Home?
I'yiivi'isity tennis aspirants uuiat run to the
various courts scattered about the city for
practice. Students who may or may uot as.
pire must do likewise. The reason: The uni
versity courts are in very poor shape for play
ing, even for practice games.
Lack of money cannot be ued as an argu
ment in favor of the present neglect. Ample
funds are available, for it requires but a few
dollars to keei) aii of the campus courts iu
excellent condition. AH that is necessary is
u little action on the part of the athletic de
partment.
With a scarcity of university buildiugs, and
broad expanses of dirt-brown campus stretch
ing in every direction, thei-e is no excuse for
failing to use it. at least for tenuis. At the
present rate of progress of the building pro
gram, it is estimated that there will still be
room on the campus for a minimum of 1,293,
54 J tennis courts in the year 197(5. We have
few courts even today. Why not fix
them up?

One thing saddens us. If the chancellor
should decide against dormitories, it would be
a shame. The plans for those built-m distil
leries and electric cocktail shakers were
marvelous.
MORNING MAIL
But Maybe He's Right.
TO THE EDITOR:
Why does our esteemed chancellor so zeal
ously insist on a dormitory, perhaps to the ex
elusion of other and more needed university
improvements? Are Nebraska girls going to
the merry old bow wows under the present
system?
Such tenacity as that of the chancellor's is
admirable, when the end justifies the meRns,
but then only. In the present case, the end
seems to fall short, when poor old University
hall groans daily under the tread of hundreds
of feet and shudders with every breeze.
It seems that a building to replace the anti
quated cradle of this great educational insti
tution is needed far more than a 300 thousand
dollar structure to house a few co-eds who are
perhaps as well satisfied under existing condi
tions. Then, too, the campus of the university belies
its very reputation as an institution of culture.
How the university has made such a place for
itself in the curtural sun with a campus so un
sightly is beyond the comprehension of many
who admire the beauties of nature. The oOO
thousand dollars which the chancellor insists
upon putting into a dormitory would go far
toward making this university a true cultural
institution, with beauty for the eye as well as
training for the mind. THE MISER.

The present rule enforced in the libraries of

to return books, taken from the reserve shelves

assessed twenty-five cents per hour for cviyy

This rule is enforced so that other students
Flunk The Teacher!
TO THE EDITOR:
In Thursday morning's Nebraskan was an
account of a procedure of grading teachers,
which seniors at Ohio State will carry out this
spring.
Why couldn't such a plan work to advantage
at Nebraska?
As pointed out in the article, the president
of the Ohio institution will use the results of
this grading system in determining th$ value
of teachers to tlia university, apparently with
the idea of finding those who are the most ef
ficient, and of keeping them ou the faculty
Such a vote, when made by members of the
senior class, surely would be of great value in
determining the real usefulness of certain pro
fessors. College, seniors are, or at any rate
should be, intelligent ' enough to vote wisely,
without prejudice or malice.
Too often has the criticism been leveled at
the university of Nebraska that its most valu
able men go elsewhere, while the duds stay.
If a vote plan similar to the one which will
be used at Ohio State were put into effect here,
administrative officials of this university cer
tainly could learn who the most valuable men
here are, and could look to keeping them Mhile
letting poorer ones go.

To the Student Body:
There is little doubt that a
publication of this kind alwaya
contains many items of Interest
to the present titudent genera
tion. Moreover, In many caaes
this intercut will increase with
the years after graduation. This,
it occurs to me, will be particu
larly true if one eventually finds
hla residence in Home quarter
where hla visits to the univemity
campus are neceHarlly infre
quent. From the point of view
of the alumnua an annual uch
as the Cornhusker way furnish
a very convenient means of
placing the benefit, of the insti
tution before prospective stu
dents and friends.
Voura sincerely,
T. J. THOMPSON,
