Big Name Band Creates Upheaval
As Students Prepare for '46 Prom

Personally we don't care. Per
sonally we are disgusted. These
snub characters who think they
can arouse our curiosity about the
"Foremost Trumpet and Trom
bone Stylist of America" are just
bumping their heads against a
stone wall. We don't care.
Fred Teller thinks we lose sleep
and can't eat just trying to single
out the band leader who holds
that title. He keeps talking about
the rating in "Downbeat" and
how they can manage to hold the
crowds back at the big aifair on

We don't care. We are per

Construction
May Begin
This Summer
Const ruction may start this
summer on a new general class
room building, first addition to
class space on the Nebraska cam
pus since Andrews hall was built
in 192!), it was announced Mon
day by L. F. Sealon. operating
superintendent.
Bids for the building, which
will be erected south of Bcssey
hall whore the tennis courts are
now located, are to be issued in
the near future. Barring delays
in obtaining materials, or oiher
such hindrances, the new struc
ture is expected to he ready for
occupancy second semester of
next year.
The new building v. ill balance
with Andrews Hall, on the north
side of the quadrangle, which it
will duplicate. Three stories high,
it will be 238 feet long and f.G
feet wide. A small "L." in which
it will differ from Andrews, has
dimensions of 93 by 54 feel. Of
red brick with white stone trim,
it will conform in style to oiher
buildings on the campus.
71 Rooms.
"The university had hoped to
construct a larger buildinu the
size of Social Sciences hall, but
the increased cot of materials
makes it prohibitive." Sealon said.
"The new ecHlVe will contain 21
classrooms and 40 faculty offices,
including the c-lfice of the dean
of the college of arls and
sciences."
Though space allot merits have
not been made definite, the school
of journalism, and the dejx.it
menls of mathematics, history,
romance languages, sociology, po
litical science and philosophy are
planned to be housed there.
This will leave Social Sciences
hall for the exclusive use of the
college of Business Administra
tion and the junior diviion. The
latter will be moved there from
its present quarters in the base
ment of University hall. When
journalism and romance lan
guage classes and offices are re
moved from University hall, old
est building on the campus, it
will be left vacant. If enrolment
does not juslify its further use,
Seafon said, it will be torn down.
