' Eager Reporter
Glimpses Navy
Life in Library
Navy hall was quite an eyeful
to an eager reporter who paid a
first visit to what used to be the
Old library.
Captain Matthews, professor of
naval science and tactics, con
ducted the reporter around the
building helping her to gain what
the navy calls a "salty" vocabu
lary. The basement, first and
second floors are now ground,
second and third "decks;" the
ceiling was "overhead," the win
dows were "ports," the stairways
' were "ladders," the walls were
"bulkheads."
New Clock.
The first new fixture noticed
was the clock which used to be in
the main reading room, this clock
being a blue 24-hour. one. In this
same reading room, the absence
of books was noticed and the
Shelves remaining have been con
verted into book shelves for the
Individual students, as the read
ing room is to be a study hall
for the trainees. At the right is
the Officer-of-the-Day's "glass
house" or office.
. Ascending the ladder, the sec
ond deck, the officer instructors'
office and another study hall may
be found. On this floor, a former
alcove room will soon be turned
Into a trainees' lounge, it is hoped.
It will be equipped with recrea
tional and musical facilities.
Ground Deck.
On the ground deck are the
administrative offices, a supply
office, mail room, a store room,
end a sick bay. The ground deck
of the annex section of the li
brary has been made into a
"head," salty for lavatory, show
ers, etc.
The second and third fireproof
decks in the annex have been
turned into bunk rooms. Instead
of priceless books it now contains
the new Nebraska students' double-tiered
beds and lockers, which
are combination wardrobes and
chiffoniers. The trainees have
everything in Navy Hall except
dining or mess facilities, which
tre provided in the Student Un
ion building.

Living up to their motto,
"Everyone should subscribe to the
Awgwan, that unpredictable col
lege humor magazine," eager
salesmen are beating freshmen on
the head, draining the last dollars
from the penniless seniors, and
taking in the rest of the unsus
pecting victims with the well
known bear trap. By the way,
have you subscribed to the Aw
gwan this year?
