UN Library
Has Varied
Life Story
BY RUTH MARVIN.
Studying on composition topped
tables beneath fluorescent light
ing, walking on rubber tiled floor
silencing sound and soft blue
green walls comforting the eyes,
the student of today enjoys the
advantages of Love Library, the
result of 34 years of work.
Since 1911 when talk of a new
library first began. Love Library
has had a varied history. Dr.
Robert A. Miller director of
libraries from 1937 to 1940 led a
vigorous campaign pointing out
the inadequacy of old library
hall. With a student body of over
5.000. the old building had a seat
ing capacity of 400. Over half the
book stock had to be stored in 23
different places over the campus
and because of a bad roof many
volumes were damaged by water.
There was only one seminar room,
eight seats in the stacks and no
faculty study carrels. Despite its
low capacity of 400 the library
was rarely full for students found
the poor lighting and ventilation
unattractive.

Concluding the four year cam
paign, the Board of Regent an
nounced in October, 1940, that the
pequest or Don L. Love, prom
inent lawyer, banker and twice
mayor, would be used for a new
library. Ground on the present
sue was broken in April, 1941, and
the building was completed in the
spring of 1943.
Instead of serving as a library

husker at registration into the
Cornhusker office by 1 p. tn.
Monday. If lists are not in by
that time, those sales will not
count toward beauty queen
candidates, according to Joyce
CrosUte, Cornhusker editor.
It wasn't as bad as last year.
Husker fans could console themselves with that fact
after Nebraska's 54 to 14 defeat by Indiana's versatile an
well-balanced Hoosier eleven Saturday afternoon before 4
Hoosier homecoming crowd at Bloomington, Indiana.
Spotty defensive work ruined Potsy Clark's men in the
second quarter, and repeated lapses in the second half put
a finish on Nebraska hopes for a close score as Indiana ran
and passed at will through and over the Husker defenders
in chalking up their third win of the season.
Turning to Nebraska's brief of
fensive moments, the scoring for
mula remained unchanged only the
principles being different. This
Saturday it was Game Captain Ed
Gradoville, Plattsmouth flash, who
pitched the scoring passes.
First Score
The first scoring play came ear
ly in the third quarter on a sus
tained drive down the field after
the Huskers received the Indiana
kickoff following the Hoosier's
fifth touchdown.
Starting from the Nebraska 29,
Gerald Moorer and Gradoville al
ternated in carrying the pigskin
to the 40. At this spot Ed hit end
Paul Kipper with a pass which
moved the ball to the Indiana 34.
Another pass to Chick Story was
good for a first down on the Hoos
ier 10 and from here Gradoville
spotted Kipper in the end zone
and fired a payoff toss. Kipper
outfighting two Indiana defenders
for the ball. Burwell Bill Sloan
added the extra point to conclude
HOUSEMOTHER PICTURES.
Housemothers will have
Cornhusker pictures taken Oc
tober 8 and 9, and will be noti
fied as to the time. Fraternity
pictures are scheduled to be
taken October 22, 23 and 21.
meetings, an annex to the foun
tain as a dance hall, r record room,
two small committee rooms or or
ganization offices, an office for a
Union supervisor and a check
stand.
The three non-members of the
committee studying the plans for
the center will act as advisors.
Faculty Membership
Membership cards will be is
sued to all university faculty and
staff members to identify them
and give them the right to enjoy
Unon privileges, both on the city
campus and on the planned ag
campus Union. This course of ac
tion was decided on at the board
meeting in order that adults who
are not entitled to the privileges
may be identified. Pat Lahr,
board member, stated that any
staff or faculty member who was
not mailed a card could receive
one by calling at the Union office
at any time.
Also under discussion at the
board meeting was the question of
office space for the Awgwan,
campus humor magazine. Board
members referred the issue to
publications board, suggesting
that space formerly used by War
Council Le"" permanently parti
tioned off for use by the Awg
wan. Avery Heads Conference
Harold V. Avery, who received
his master's degree in music from
the university in 1944, has been
elected president of the Mississippi
Music Educators conference. He
is now head of the music depart
ment of Belhaven college, Jack
son, Miss.
Mr. Avery did some teaching in
addition to studying for his mas
ter's degree while he was enrolled
in the school of mus'c. Mrs. Avery
was an instructor in v;?e at the
univetsity for three years.
T
the third quarter offensive show
from the Nebraska standpoint.
Late in the final quarter, Don
Sailors intercepted an Indiana
pass on the Hoosier 26 to put Ne
braska in scoring territory once
more. Sloan passed to Sailors for
a first down on the ten and after
two fruitless plays, Gradoville en
tered the game. After one in
complete pass, the Plattsmouth
ace, one of the three lettermen
on squad, unleashed a scoring
pass to Dick Skog, Omaha full
back, who took the ball in the
end zone. Again Sloan added the
point.
High Hopes.
Nebraska fans had hopes in the
early moments of the game, for
the Huskers repulsed a Hoosier
scoring bid on the three yard
line after the blaik-shirted In
