Altlmujrii aware that there is no money for a liuildinp pro fs nun now, Iho enpincerincr roll pro. has nevertheless appointed a committee to study possible future building plans and to elar ifv present enjiineeringr housing problems. Prof. Liniw Burr Smith, chairman of the department of architecture, is chairman, asisled by Professors u. e.. poison, j Jilcs V. Haney, u. e-. Aiicaey anu Dean O. J. Ferguson. Building facilttiep are at pres ent grossly inadequate. Dean Fer guson declared, with no sufficient room for classrooms, laboratories or office space. The oldest build ing still used by the college is the electrical engineering building, a 56,500 structuie which was orig inally built in 1894 to house the power plant. A few years later the old Me chanics arts building waa con structed, and in spite of the fact that it never was finished on the inside, it still serves the dean, the departments of engineering me chanics, civil engineering, mathe matics and engineering library. Move Department. Cramped conditions have made it necessary to transfer the high way testing department of the school to quarters in the old boiler house. To give the architects more room, they have been moved to the basement of the Temple. The two modern buildings are the Me chanical Engineering and the Ag ricultural Engineering units. The present setup, with the vari ous departments so widely scat tered, is not as desirable nor as economical as it would be if the .several offices were housed in one large building. Chairmen of the departments have been asked to make a checkup on the amount of space they now have as well as the amount tbey really need. While plans are still indefinite, one proposal calls for a new build in f faeine- 12th street between the former museum and Nebraska ormer museum ana jxeorasK. , with a long wing extemng hflll west and a trifle south of the present M.

"These oaths are symbolic, he stated, but the danger back of the symbol is very real, as under oaths we can be chased and hounded out of all energy for teaching and research."
