SEVEN Aged, Overcrowded Library Becomes Unsafe THE DAILY KERR ASK AN, FRIDAY, DF.CF.MREU Ifi, 1938 Reserve Room Lacks Facilities Small Seating Capacity Poor Light Handicap When a professor makes an as signment requiring reading from books other thnn texts nncl cnlmly states that he has "placed the hooks on reserve over in the "li brary" he sends students to n loom that has: 1. An optimum seating capac ity of 225 students; 2. Poor lighting; 3. Uniformly cold temperature In vintcr; 4. Uniformly hot temperature in summer; 5. Little storage space for books placed on reserve. The reserve reading room houses the library service most frequently tised by undergraduate students, 6.000 strong. That there would be a more ex tensive and intensive us? of re serve books "if the facilities were enlarged was a fact revealed by a faculty survey in 1931. Academic departments were asked, "If a new library could be secured, would more books be placed on reserve?" Of 31 departments, 30 answered, Yes." The same response was elicited to the question "If a new library could be secured, would more term papers and independent readings be assigned?"

Flea Is King The lowly flea, long a trouble causer to man and beast, is going to live the life of a king at the University of California. But his new found kingly exist ence will be a life with a purpose, for his life in a new air condi tioned home will be subject to the whims of scientists who seek to determine his habits and activities. The new flea laboratory, be lieved to be the first of its kind in the world, will be used to study the causes an dcures of sylvatic plague, a disease prevalent on the west roa.t and known to be trans mitted to man by fleas. ; i - V r J I i - ' : ;i U - rZ"' ' !i ..'" ,, t . s . f " ' f " i tm&mw&- - ;. ? f ! - L4 1 1 tilt Jt - "t i Ii i Is vP- o4 I :. ! 4 : m r- P1 ?

Any com prehensive view of the institution and of its development must con sider the library and its relation to all departments, to all student 3 anil to the entire faculty. No other division of the univer sity is in such intimate, daily con tact with the university com munity and its educational objec tives. Nowhere can a ;;in;;le im provement be made which will af fect the efficiency and welfare of the entire university as will tha con:;t ruction of a new library building. Student opinion, militantly ex pressed in the Daily Nebraskan issues of March 17, Oct. 27, Oct. 28, Nov. 2, 1937- is emphatically in favor of the construction of a library building before the con struction of any other university building. To emphasize the place of Chris tianity in the modern world, the University of Pennsylvania is planning a four day "Christian embassy." sag preceptibly. as the above il lustration clearly shows. The con dition is noticeable throughout the building, and obviously renders it unsafe for use as a library. NU Students Want Blondes. No Exams Library, 90's if is w ! IS Santa Asked to Bring Salaries, Good Bands By Betty Meyer. If V. of N. students could play Santa Claus, the old school would receive many gifts for which Saint Nick himself might disclaim any responsibility. Martin "ColoneP Oclrich thinks that what the university really needs is 2,000 gorgeous girls. Jack Hyland is sure the void could be filled by a single beau tiful blonde. On the other hand, Dot Askey plugs for Just one handsome college man. "A really good orchestra like Benny Goodman" is what N. U. would get from Santy Harold Atherton. "And, of course, their theme song would be 'I Lost You, I Found You' ", adds Its fond composer. However, Dick Joyce's idea of Christmas joy would be a bar for the Student Union. "Pedestrian subways between all buildings' is Mamie Bremers' Idea of a present, and shivering coeds agree. Also of feminine in spiration is Eetty Lou Wentz' gift of "smooth sidewalks, instead of those bumpy brick ones." Ah. For a Sub. To save steps for hard working i H future Blackstones. Woody Shurt- B leff would bui'.d a SUB annex by Law college. But Betty Lee Elliott, K after nearly a semester of classes g in the basement of the oldest tg building on the campus, would give Nebraska a new U halt The forgotten faculty would be remembered by Bob Gannon in the form of pens writing only grades of 90 and above. Bus Knight's Christmas package would be "No exams at all!" And a professor of political science would climb down the chimney with a million dollars. Interest on which would augment salaries for professors of political science. But the average student, ac cording to the latest noil, would play Santa by giving the univers- j j uy mai muen nceoeo new li brary. They are speaking to S. "Jupiter Pluvius" Claus about it even now.
