Yes, We Have
No Hollyhocks
In commenting on the unattrac
tire and undeniably barren ap
pearance of most of the city cara
pua. Dr. C. M. HiU of Yale recently
said, "I do hope the next time I
return to the Nebraska city cam
pus, there will be at least one
morning glory and one hollyhock
planted and growing around the
building you call your teachers
college."
The applause which greeted Dr.
Hill's statement would indicate
that those who are interested In
the university fully realize its
shortcomings as far as lack of
material equipment is concerned
yea, even in regard to shrubbery.
But they are even more keenly
aware, perhaps, of the shortcom
ings of some f that equipment
which it does have.
B'or if the campus la short on
hollyhocks, it is long- on con
demned and crumbling classroom
buildings, outmoded laboratory fa
cilities, crowded storage space,
and all the inconveniences that go
with falling plaster, leaky roofs,
leaning pillars, and warped floors.
Built In 1871, University hall
has been condemned for years by
building and fire inspectors. To re
duce to a minimum the possibility
of its collapsing on students and
faculty members of the two de
partments which it still houses, it
has been partly demolished to a
one story structure and bolted to
gether with iron pipes to keep the
walls from falling. Infested with
roaches and vermin, the building
gets a soaking inside as well as
out in wet weather and moss has
begun to grow on the damp walls
of its classrooms.
In 1895, when the library was
built, there were lew than 1,000
students enrolled in the university.
Today, there are more than 0,000.
In 1895, there were 2,000 volumes
owned by the library. Today there
are more than 500,000. Meager
reading faciliUes are offered for
only 400 students, less than 7 per
cent of the enrollment. Over 100,
000 volumes owned by the univer
sity are available to but a small
proportion of the student body be
cause the books must be stored In
remote places away from the
library. Not one cent of insurance
is carried on the books or building,
which is a definite fire hazard.
In spite of its age, the library
building might still see years of
useiuiness in housing laboratories
or classrooms once the tremendous
weight of the overburdened book
shelves is removed from its saa
ging floors. Perhaps the colleae
of pharmacy might move over
from its 51-year-old building which
is infested with rats, fleas and
roaches, and sadly inadequate
from the standpoint of equipment.
Ironical is the fact that such a
structure houses the offices and
laboratories of the department ot
student health!
No money has been appropriated
by the state legislature for major
classroom buildings In the last
decade in spite of a soaring en
rollment which places the univer
sity 16th in size in the nation. The
situation here may be seen when
one finds that Nebraska buildings
have a valuation equivalent to
$832 per resident college student
compared with $2,287 for Iowa U.,
$1,241 for Iowa State, $1,466 for
Minnesota, $1,441 for Illinois, and
$1,097 for Wisconsin.
To remedy this situation and re
place such buildings as those de
scribed and others equally as bad,
the board of regents proposes a
$2,500,000 building program for
which a government PWA grant
up to 45 percent may be obtained.
The remainder must be provided
by the state legislature. It would
be difficult to find a more needy
project for which the legislature
ignt appropriate and the PWA
donate funds.

elections which have been going
on. Everywhere where there are
Sudeten Germans the vote has
been overwhelmingly for Henlein's
side, the writer states. "Results of
votings held among the Germans
in America have just arrived, and
everyone is anxiously awaiting the
results."
"A lie fuer Einen."
A. letter from a second German
youth in the same village further
explains the stand of the German
youth on the question of the Hitler
regime. "If I should start telling
you what our leader has done, the
letter would be too large to send
across .The beautiful words Alle
fuer Einen. Einen fuer Alle' have
once again come into reality. In
short, there is work, there is
bread, there is order, unity and
satisfaction."
"But regretfully there are mil
lions of Germans in other coun
tries who look longingly to the
mother land. Hitler knows this
very well. Our worldwide unity
makes for a firm foundation which
cannot be. overcome." The letter
tells of the annexation of Austria
and states that "only a few weeks
have passed and Austria already
looks different. There is now one
people, one leader, one country.
Austria is heading toward a bright
future. This is the condition the
way I see it and the way all young
German people see it."

is housed in buildings that have
extra fire hazards. New facilities
are needed if the University is to
offer students the advantages
which the rapid progress of en
gineering in the last. 25 years has
produced.
The most Dressing need of the
college of agriculture is a Home
Economics hall. The work in this
field has increased five-fold sinop
the present structures were
erected in 1909. ani the denart-
ment is forced to accept tem
porary classrooms and lnhorntorifQ
in other buildings space which is
needed for other purposes. Cafe
teria and dining accommodations
on the ag campus are entirely in
adequate, too, and can only be
improved by a new building.
A new University hall would
take care of departments now
forced to use University and Ne
braska halls, both condemned for
many years. The proposed build
lnjr would be somewhat similar in
size to Social Science hall and
tate cae of several departments
which now use classrooms defin
itely dangerous from age and
dilapidation.

An unusual and striking fea

to be used in the production ot
thee plays in that they will be
acted on an arena type of stage.
The three plays will be produced
in the middle of the floor with the
audience seated on all four sides.
Between the plays the audience
will be invited into the hall for
refreshments while the scenery is
