Minus the purlimentary statesmanship of
the initial unicameral and the awe with which
the "first" is always regarded, Nebraska's leg
islature opened the 1939 session with a show of
partisanship and jittery demonstration of
opening day procedural complications. There
was a great deal missing from the 1937 uni
cameral opening guest speakers, noustaehes,
packed galleries and 23 state senators who
failed to return this year.
Because of the University's dose relation
ship to the unicameral, the Daily Xebraskan is
vitally interested in the legislature's dealings
with the University. For this reason, the Daily
plans to "cover'' as intelligently as possible
all state legislation that is related, directly or
indirectly, to the University of Nebraska. It is
sincerely hoped that the Daily's legislative en
deavors will not be shrugged off by the stu
dent body as unimportant to the undergradu
ate life.
As an instrumentality of a state-supported
institution, the Daily finds itself in an unique
newspaper situation. The University itself is
non-partisan, which forced the student news
paper to assume the same political status. The
Daily, therefore, i restrained from delving
into the political ramifications of the state leg
islature which is, in theory, non-partisan a
theoretical presupposition which should be
taken with a few hunks of sodium chloride.
But that is the topic of which the Daily is
supposed to shy clear. Speaking in behalf of
the University family, the Daily Nebraskan
welcomes Nebraska's legislature to the cam
pus, extends best wishes for 1939, hopes for a
successful session and prays for the unanimous
smile of approval by the state senators upon
the University of Nebraska.
High Time
In 1939
Pilled with boundless energy surging forth
from the relaxation of the holiday season, Ne
braska's students are back to their collegiate
tasks. Except for those individuals who whiled
away the time in idle pursuits, there is a
sparkle in the eye, a note of cheerfulness in the
voice, a lighter step in the foot and a warmer
grip in the hand of the returning students. It
is good to see and hear this campus spirit
again.
We hope this friendliness of the first day
of school in 1939 is not brought about alone by
the traditionally short-lived New Year resolu
tions. They have grown to be only a first of
the year custom that has faded out in sig
nificance. They accomplish some purpose, how
ever, when the resolutions grow out of a look
ing back, a recapitulation of 19M, performed
seriously and soberly.
Although we are a half-week past New
Year's Day, we are still concerned with the
passing of "eventful 1938. .Stop and think of the
past year, chock-full of episodes during each
of the twelve months. s many of which al
though far away had a direct bearing on the
lives of all of us. Before plunging head-first
into 1939, stop and think of what you person
ally contributed to 1933 what accomplish
ments, what you have learned and what ad
vancement. Stop and think and take careful
and impersonal stock of yourself.
Tf anything, 1939 is a bold challenge to us.
To those who graduate this year, it means a
job and the eventual taking of a place as a
citizen. Business soothsayers forecast big things
for 1939, but a graduate of the 1939 class can
net bring himself around to seeing a receptive
world, awaiting the college student with open
arms. To the remainder of the undergraduates,
1939 means little more than another sheltered
year spent in college without the specter of the
utside world haunting the immediate future.'
Perhaps it is asking a great deal to expect
college students to give serious thought to any
thing outside their own little worlds, but it is
high time that we take cognizance, first of all,
of life beyond that of the campus. Sooner or
later, we must realize that "life is real, life is
earnest" The sooner, the better.
Ninth, N. U. Library
The state planning board lust week made
publio a 10-year state building program which
called for a total expenditure of $4,64;"i,OO0
during the decade or $tti0.000 per year. Ninth
on the list was the University of Nebraska
library, the cost of which was cited at sjKOO..
000. The projects, listed in the order of their
relative need as judged by the board, are fr
all state institutions. Those ranked before the
university library are:
1. Equipment for PWA fi
nanced buildings for board of con
trol $140,000
Tunnels and service lines to PWA
financed buildings at Lincoln
hospital 3,000
2. Remodel buildings at Milford
institutions and install fire escapes 50,000
3. New ward building for 150 at
Hastings hospital 204,000
4. Repairs in administration
building at Lincoln hospital 35,000
5. Penitentiary building, fence
road 60,000
6. Fire escapes at Geneva and
school for blind, Nebraska City, to
be built from maintenance funds.
7. Enlarge laundry at Hastings
hospital 15,000
Enlarge dining room space at Has
tings hospital 5,000
Remodel old boiler room as laun
dry at Kearney T. B. hospital . . . 6,000
8 Major repairs and replace
ments for the Nebraska State
Teachers' colleges 15,000
Twelfth on the list is u hospital building
at the university college of medicine in Omaha
estimated at $275,000 and thirteenth is a $600.
000 engineering building. Only three univer
sity building needs were observed, therefore,
during the next ten years.
The planning board members made an
exhaustive study of all of Nebraska's institu
tional needs before they submitted their report
to the governor. The board did not urge the
state to spend this four and a half million dol
lars during the next ten years, but merely dis
closed the results of n careful investigation of
"items urgently needed."
The word "urgently" strikes home hard
as far as the university campus is concerned.
Even more, "emergency" is more appropriate
for the state university library. I hall, en
gineering building and Nebraska hall. Crum
bling U hall, by the way. was conspicuous by
its absence on the planning board's list. If
there is a statule of limitations for emergen
cies, the one on old U hall has most certainly
expired.
Our deep-seated conviction as university
students is that the university library project
merits first consideration. But the planning
board is not pro-university, not pro-Lincoln
hospital, not pro-penitentiary and not pro
Hastings hospital. The board is only pro-Nebraska.
The investigation convinced the board
that the university library is ninth in urgency,
and unless the state legislature can see a more
imperative need for the library, the university
must wait for nearly two years before the li
brary can be expected to receive state approval
and appropriation.
The eight projects which precede the uni
versity library will cost approximately $33.
000. This means that funds for the considera
tion of the library will not be available for
nearly two years, if the state continues its
building program of the last ten years along
the same lines. Existing economic factors
brought on by the fifth year of drouth may
cause the state to delay the program a year
and pick up the slack in some future biennium.
"With all due respect to the state planning
board for its maiden attempt to budget the
state building program into a well-mapped
ten-year period instead of spending the state's
money haphazardly, the university's existence
thru its so-called cultural' center the library
is being placed in further jeopardy by pro
longing the time before the new library be
comes a sorely-needed reality. Without being
selfish and without failing to co-operate with
other state institutions whose needs are prob
ably as pressing as the university's. Nebraska's
second unicameral legislature may eventually
recognize and honor the university's prime
emergency need a new library building.
