0iiranJ,
Husker Campus!
Decreased lcgislstive appropriations, depres
sions, psychological interruptions, and what
not have hampered the improvement program
in the university, let, the move on the earn
pua is "onward.
Taken as a whole, the University of Ne
h rank a campus extends into several parts of
the statf. Resides the nine colliers in Lin
coln, there is the college of medicine in Omaha
a school of agriculture at Curtis, a sub-station
of the college of agriculture at .North l'latte
and other acres outlying. All of these are
a part of the preat Husker campus.
Listed as improvements for the present and
for the near future are nine projects. This is
in face of the fact that funds have been dimin
ished and building curbed from many angles
Officials who have charge of improvement
plans, however, find it necessary to press cer
tain aspects of those plans to completion. Stu
dent, on the other hand, are doing a share in
furthering the work by contributing individu
ally to at least one project.
In process of construction at the present
writing are three pieces of work in Lincoln
Central Mall, to be known as the quadrangle.
as 'distinguished from Memorial Mall in front
of the stadium, is now bing constructed. The
crust was broken earlv this week and concrete
and brick will aoon be laid. Aside from its
Waity aspects, this undertaking will furnish
mHc3i needed parking space. The pavement
wCUbe fifty feet in width, as contrasted to
theor,ty feet expanse around Memorial Mall.
Carl, therefore, will be arranged in diagonal
parking order instead of the parallel system.
.Vrbraivka's long' wanted swimming pool is
promised for completion by the last days of
November. Forms are now standing for con
crete which is being poured. The judging pa
villion on the college of agriculture campus
is being reconstructed into a modern, fire proof
building. Fire last spring had destroyed all
but the walls of that campus landmark.
Recently completed and now receiving the
fancy touches is the series of broadway walks
paving the landscape in front of the east stand
of Memorial stadium. That is a projeet under
taken by the Memorial Stadium association
and will take Nebraska's ardent grid fans out
of the mud as they tramp to the weekly battles
where scarlet flames as the cream is spilled.
Under special improvements is included the
new heating plant for the medicnl college at
Omaha. The contract is being let this week
and construction will probably be finished in
eight weeks. Plans are being prepared for the
new nurses' home, in addition to the building
already standing, and which will bring the
total housing capacity up to 150. The project
will entail an expenditure of iM.0,000 and will
be ready in the spring of next year.
Details in the proposed construction of a
women's dormitory are being shaped into
definite form and construction of the central
unit of a building which will cost $.rK),(rO()
when if is finished, will be started late this
fall. The central portion will entail expendi
tures totaling aV-Vt.lJOO and property will be
turned over to university officials by the con
tractors in duly of next year, it is contem
plated. This unit will take care of 1 75 co-eds,
while the finished building, when ihe Iwo
wings are finally added, will shelter 350
women.
A shop building has been planned for the
Curtis school of agriculture at a cost of $'J0,(KK),
and the residential improvements at the Notih
l'latte experiment station will total 115,000.
Thus, despite adverse situations, does Ne
braska's building program forge onward, l'cr
hapa it is not much in comparison to the
things that officials would like to do in the
way of enlarging and improving the campus.
Buildings of several types arc needed, it may
be true. Other things are needed also; but it
takea money to buj them even good in
structors.
Some, perhaps, arc of the opinion that these
nine projects are too heavy an expenditure at
the present time. Fsets and situation, how
ever, point to the unlikelihood of t'at. With
growing interest and enrollment from year to
"year, it becomes exceedingly difficult to handle
the job of running a great institution with old
equipment. Jtcquewts pile high for modernism
in education. Demands arc heavy for facili
ties to handle the distribution of knowledge
on mass production principles.
It is well hat tha men who arc responsible
for the building program can see fit to carry
on such improvements as seem to be of greatest
importance. , Every department and college,
and every tUtion thruout the state is fighting
for extra fund to enlarge its own equipment.
Each particular situation is beconjing cunjber
some uclesa more funds can be bad. It is the
everjaatiag "room, more room" that booms
into the ears of those running the building
eerporation of Huskerdom, Inc., as it might be
eal'td. Many projects that were promised long
ago are held off. It ia not a matter of whether

Students, nevertheless, are glad to see that
things are being done. They are rejoicing over
the disappearance of the old drill field which
could change so adeptly from a derert Sahara
to a veritablo everglades with each slighted
downpour of rain. If green grass ever grows
on that stretch it will seem like the milleinum
Kditorial jargon of past days will be replaced
by a few inches of "beauty column then.
Ye, students are happy for the things that
do break. The stadium looks like something
since wading boots are no more necessary
items in each football fan's equipment. The
swimming pool will be refreshing, both in thot
snd action. Women will wait a bit for their
dormitory, but good things arc slow in the
making.
It is hoped that some day the Comhusker
campus will be as outstanding m university
circles thmout the country as Nebraska s cap
itol building is in tha ranks of government
structures. And as there is evident a new
campus line each morning," we hope you like
our ever-changing environment.
Something must be done about the (Jadflif .
There are left neither "gads" nor "flies." Or
even "guineas." What! No "Fire and
Sword?"
With other prices going down, one student
asks, "What about university fees?" Well,
what about them I
About Thi
Get-Together Idea.
Numerous organizations are getting under
way as the fiscal year opens. Seemingly count
less presidents of groups ranging from fra
ternities, sororities, and honorary societies
down to boarding and, perhaps, card clubs are
back with inspirations to do big things. All
of them have duties to perform of apparently
great consequence.
It is well that these numerous, yes countless,
presidents and the groups they represent have
something to do. It is hoped that they see
their duty and do it. It is hoped, also, that
they have results befitting the cause which
prompted the founding of the particular insti
tutions. Vet, there is one thing wrong about the
entire mattter. Each group carries on to its
own immediate henents, forgetting that the
greatest good which can befall it is the good
that comes from others. One cannot live with
in himself, it is said.
Thus, instead of attempting to devise means
of preserving its own skin as a major project
the activities of the organization there
should be substituted the more noble purpose
of employing surh devices as will further the
interests of all organizations on the campus.
This has been realized by a number of people
intimately concerned with campus affairs, as
is evidenced by the efforts being made in sev
eral instances to persuade collective reason
ing. Social functions ana get-togethers arc
occasionally held.
Kven as such events promote great spirit and
enthusiasm in attempting to operate student
activities on a more profound basis, it is not
enough to talk about it. Things must be done.
"ouncils, boards, clubs, groups, and all other
bodies should bow to the constant hammer
ing of some one power. Not for the purpose
of submission, but rather for the ideals of uni
fication of activity programs. The Student
council has gained such power to certain de- i
grees, for many organizations are now under 1
its general supervision. Now conies the hopes 1
of extending the plans as begun. Let the good
work go on. i
If thev take the "punt" out, what will be
eft of the "ki-k" in "foot "-ball?
And, say, yon must meet Eugenie on the
campus! Yes, the Empress!
From comments coming in, it would be
judged that summer work of students was of
two kinds, some characterized bv the word
devotion and the other bv diversion.

Evils of rush week being over, with the dis

The cost of regular season athletic paste
boards has been reduced from if 11 to $10. Non
student football fans are thus able to see tli
football games for only a dollar more than is
required for students themselves.
The University of Oklahoma has reduced it:
student rate by $1.50. And similar reduction
are being made throughout the country.
Why are Nebraska students forced to pay th
old rate of $! when reductions are being niadi
