"Had we been able to get ma
terial as scheduled without defense
work holding up steel delivery, we
would have had the north part of
the new field house completed by
the fall of 1942," stated John VK.
Selleck, when asked about his
prize field house.
Since the announcement of Ad
ministrator D. F. Felton the mid
dle of last October that federal
approval had been given to the
construction of the field house at
Nebraska, construction has been
moving at high speed.
Selleck continued by saying that
whereas the south part was
scheduled to be finished last, it
will be the first to be completed
since it uses very little steel. "If
the work continues, we will be
able to move into the south part
by next fall," the athletic busi
ness manager summed up.
The project is being handlfd
jointly by the university and the
federal government. The original
expenditure was estimated at
about $283,000 of which the uni
versity will expend $183,000 and
the WPA, $100,000.
According to the plans drawn
up by John Latenser of Omaha
the building proper will be 200
feet by 152 feet and will enclose
the entire north end of the sta
dium. Tunnels have been built to
connect the field house with both
sides of the stadium.
When the plins were being
drawn up by the architects provi
sion was made to divide construc
tion into two parts, the north and
south. The north part included
the practice field and requires 90
foot steel girders; it is the pro
curement of these girders that is
holding up construction.
The south part that will em
brace the equipment rooms, locker

rooms, laundry, class rooms and
ventilated handball courts, can
continue without . interruption
since clay products are used. Di
rector Selleck states that some
difficulty may be experienced
when construction reaches the
roof where a minimum quantity
of steel is needed.
The entire field house has been
designed to conform and harmon
ize with the stadium, but will not
provide any more seating capacity.

Girls Will Hold

ion, BABW, with the aid of other
women's organizations, will hold
an all university girls' picnic Sat
urday, Sept. 27.
"Tickets will go on tale next
week for the outing which prob
ably will take place at Pioneer
park," Dorothy White, BABW

Nebraska Coeds ...
Patriotic but Not in Favor Of
Red, White and Blue Hose
"I'm just as patriotic as any
body else. I'll wear red, white and
blue dresses and jewelry, but nev
er, never those hideous hose,"
firmly commented Betty Lou Fos
ter, Sigma Delta Tau pledge, as
she glanced over an artic' re
leased by the United Press con
cerning patriotic stockings.
In the article, Miss Elisabeth
Conrad, dean of women at Michi
gan State college, urged that co
eds adopt the cotton stockings as
a means of aiding defense. "Amer
ica needs the silk American wom
en put on their legs," she said.
She expressed the opinion that col
lege women should lead the way
in the emergency. "Cotton hose
cost only half as much as silk
stockings," Miss Conrad aaid.
UN coeds Frances Hans and
Nancy Coe, Gamma Phi Betas,
had definite opinions on the sub
ject. Frances said "No" emphat
ically and Nancy agreed in the
same tone of voice'. "Girls' legs
would look terrible," Nancy said.
New plan provides 3 bal
anced meals a day in Union
