Regents Study
Recommended
Building Units
The Nebraska board of regents
is now studying the building rec
ommendations of the university
Building committee. The regents
will act some time in January on
the recommendations which pro
vide for the construction of 36
new building units and additions
during the next 10 years.
Twenty-three of the recom
mended units would be paid for
from a special 10-ycar building
levy enacted by the 1947 legisla
ture. The other 13 would be paid
for with non-tax revenue, mainly
dormitory rentals, student fees and
athletic receipts.
After personally visiting all uni
versity buildings in the ttate
and conferring with college, school
and department heads, the com- j
mittee appointed by Chancellor
Pi. G. Gustavson and headed by
Dr. C. W. Borgmann prepared a
priority list of needed buildings.
The need was based, not upon
the immediate post-war student
population, but upon a projected
"norrrial" enrollment.
