"We are highly pleased with the
spirit with which this summer's

fun programs which are being ar

cool temperature which its venti

tendant support we shall be able
to use this building for most of our
functions."

with them in the recreational pro
gram. In addition to tonight's affair,
another party has already been

LITERATURE AND LIFE
Large Audience Hears Har
vard Professor in
Convocation.
Giving numerous illustrations of
the manner in which literature is
closely related to life, Prof. Charles
Thomas Swain of Harvard uni
versity spoke on "Literature and
Living" to a large audience in the
auditorium of Social Sciences
building Wednesday morning in the
first university convocation of the
summer.
A greater appreciation of nature
is obtained by the study of litera
ture, the Harvard professor pointed
wit. Especially is this true in the
field of poetry where the great
theme of nature may be more ade
quately expressed, he stated.
"If we, as teachers, have been
omitting the field of human rela
tions in our instruction we have
been negligent," Professor Thomas
said, commenting uoon the relation
of literature to human nature. He
showed how this field is of suffi
cient importance that at Yale and
the TIniversitv of Chicaero. depart
ments devoted entirely to subjects
in that field have recenuy oeen es
tablished. A comparison of the Nebraska
capitol and the structure of a lit
erary masterpiece was made by
Professor Thomas in speaking of
the relation of literature and the
nrt.q stressinc the beautv and
vision embodied in the mural
painting in the capitol library
room, he pointed out the similarity
of the effect obtained by viewing

CARS ON DRILL FIELD
New Mall Will Take Place of
Drill Field; Faculty
Must Move Cars.
Ten Electric Fans Added To
Library ; Limited Funds
Prevent Improvements.
"Limited appropriations make it
impossible to provide for many of
the requests made by students in
regard to improvements on the
campus," stated L. F. Seaton,
yesterday in leply to the numerous
letters which The Nebraskan has
received recently complaining of
inadequate parking facilities and
heated conditions at the library.
"Why can't we park on the drill
field ? It isn't being used this sum
mer and look at all the vacant
space which, if it were only thrown
open to the use of the students,
would eliminate the present park
ing problem," point out students
in their complaints written for the
"Student Opinion column. Finances
would not be the obstacle there,
they argue.
Long a "Sore Spot."
For many seasons the drill field
has been the "sore spot" of the
city campus, Mr. Seaton said, ex
plaining why students are not be
ing permitted to park their cars at
tnat location. Dirt would be blown
from the field into the surround
ing buildings, adding to mainten
ance costs and making it difficult
to keep classrooms clean.
By securing the plot of ground
adjacent to the heating plant,
plans for moving the drill field
were completed last year and be
ginning next fall the R. O. T. C.
unitl will receive their outdoor
training on the new field, accord
ing to the operating superinten
dent. Will Start Grading Soon.
Grading will be started within
the next few weeks to convert the
former drill field into a Mall simi
lar to Memorial Mall east of the
stadium. The whole plot will then
be seeded to blue grass and the
"dust storms" on that part of the
campus will be a thing of the past.
"Thus, instead of permitting ad
ditional cars we shall even have
to close the field to the single line
of cars owned by members of the
faculty which are now allowed on
the south side," Mr. Seaton stated.
When the Mall is paved, parking
conditions on the campus will be
limitations as those imposed by
greatly improved. But with such
the recent university appropria
tion, it will be improbable whether
such campus improvement plans
