Umversity Gets
War Property
From Surplus
Carl Donaldson, assistant pur
chasing agent, today said the uni
versity has purchased surplus war
property valued at thousands of
dollars for a "mere fraction of the
cost to the government."
The equipment is being pur
chased thru RFC sales, and from
abandoned air fields, war plants,
and other military installations in
Nebraska.
"The university has come into
possession of an infinite amount
of supplies and equipment at a
tremendous saving," Donaldson
said. It would have taken years of
frugal purchasing to acquire the
same amount."
Nominal Cost.
Much of the property is being
acquired at a nominal handling
cost to the university by outright
donation from the federal govern
ment. This concession is made to
schools which offer pre-induction
instruction to young men such as
is being done at Nebraska.
Considerable army salvage is
being acquired in this manner
also, according to Donaldson, and
in outright purchases from the
RFC the university receives an

it is different, we don't know.
What intrigues us is the little man

In economics we are haunted
by his face; in math we draw pic

Pythagorean theorem; in chem

solving the mystery instead of
finding the formula for hydro
