Students Find Outlet for Secret
Interests in Union Hobby Shop
The newest project of the ever
busy Student Union Board is the
conversion of Room 12 into a di
verting, highly practical Craft
Shop. Room 12, until recently
was only unusued space in the
basement of the Union, but with
the help of the Hobby Interest
Q I Students
Work There;
Not Inmates
Eighteen students at the Uni
versity report to the state refor
matory for men after they have
finished their day's studies.
But don't get them wrong. They
just work there.
They are the eighteen GI stu
dents who attend university
classes by day and instruct the
reformatory school classes and
patrol its stone walls by night.
Faculty
Roger Hansen, who is a junior
in Teachers college, is director of
vocational and trade training at
the reformatory. His "faculty"
members, also GI's enrolled in
the university, teach practical
courses like bricklaying, carpen
try, wood turning and welding at
he reformatory's school. Re
cently the welding instructor re
signed, and Hansen is looking for
a replacement.
Charles Machovic, a graduate
student, has charge of the evening
correspondence school, which
supervises the 150 University of
Nebraska extension courses which
reformatory inmates study.
Directors
Among the other director of
the reformatory's education pro
gram are Willard Nelson, in
graduate college, who is director
of the compulsory day school;
Waldo Dahlstedt, also in gradu
ate college, who directs instruc
tion in the elementary grades;
Robert Hall, senior, who is di
rector of physical education.
Purpose of the educational pro
grame, like that of the Navy
("learn a trade") is to prepare
young men to take a job and find
a useful place in society.
Committee, working for the
Union, it was officially opened for
instruction and practice in various
crafts Tuesday, February 10.
First Stages
According to Duane Lake, di
rector of the Union, "the shop,
only in its beginning stage, will
grow as the demand warrants."
The shop will offer to interested
students such diversion as leather
work, silk screening, wood carv
ing, block printing, engraving,
finger painting, metal foil work,
monotyping, textile painting,
sketching, and wood burning.
Instruction in these various
crafts will be available from 1 to
5 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednes
days, and from 7 to 9:30 p.m. Wed
nesday evening. The Craft Shop,
however, will be open every after
noon to students who wish to
practice these skills. Although
materials such as leather, wood
and metal will be sold at cost
price, the tools will be furnished
free of charge.
Planners
The shop, which has been
planned and created by the hobby
interest committee, will be super
vised by the same committee. The
members of this group who have
put their time and effort into the
organization of the Craft Shop
are: Chairman Marge Cherny,
Kirk Lewis, Mary Jean Mulvaney,
Bill Poe, Gordon Otte and Paul
Vlcan.
One of the many worthwhile
and entertaining propects of the
union, the Craft Shop promises to
not only offer diversion for al
ready interested students, but it
will also open up unlimited fields
of opportunity to those who de
sire to learn a new craft or hobby,
or simply wish to find a new,
worthwhile interest.
