Love Unsafe for Uninformed;
Look Before A Leap in Library
It's quite possible to be in love
and completely lack understand
ing of the situation; it's equally
easy to be in Love and face a sim
ilar problem.
Love with a capital "L" refers,
of course, to Love Library, home
of hapless underclassmen with
term paper troubles and haven of
the more businesslike University
students. To any persons who
missed, escaped or avoided a tour
as a class project, the library can
be a pretty confusing place.
WE WOULD NOT say this un
less we had personally observed
it, but it is possible to be on the
University campus for four years
and to be a member of a well
known senior honorary not that
that in itself is a particular mark
of intelligence without under
standing even the simplest library
procedures. It happened last
semester.
The graduating senior dropped
into the humanities reading room,
on second floor, one afternoon and
evidently spotted a book which
interested her. This reminded her
that she needed some references
for her term report which must
have been her first and she be
gan her search for information.
One of my friends met her look
ing perplexed in the hall.
"The book I want isn't in
there," she said, pointing toward
the reading room. "Where do
you suppose I could find it?"
THE FRIEND tentatively sug
gested that she look in the card
catalog. "Card catalog" registered
somewhere and the girl managed
to discover that her book was not
in any of the reading" rooms or
branch libraries. (The absence of
any little colored half cards just
in front of the regular book card
gave her the blue.) "Your book
is in the stacks " the friend ex
plained. "How do I get in to find it?"
was the next question.
"You don't you have to fill out
a cull slip and give it to the li
brarian at the loan desk and she'll
send someone after it," the friend
patiently explained.
THE BOOK was duly brought
in and friend went back to check
ing out her own book. At an in
sistent grinding of her elbow bone
she turned around. "What's that?"
the girl asked, pointing to the

Ed Weir, the first Nebraskan to
be chosen by the late Walter
Camp as a member of his All
American football team, has
completed 22 years as a track
coach at the university.
Bill Glassford, former Pitts
burgh All America guard under
the late Jock Sutherland, is the
22nd paid football coach at Ne
braska since the beginning of
football at the university. The
Cornhuskcrs had no paid gridiron
mentor during the 1890-'91-'92
seasons. They were aided by
Coach Lyman ofthe University
of Iowa.
Nebraska's football squad
scored 260 points during the 1910
season, running up 119 points of
that total against Haskell insti
tute. When Coach Pat Patterson's
wrestling team won the Big
Seven championship in March, it
marked the first time that a NU
mat squad took top honors since
the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate
Athletic association was organ
ized in 1928.
Altho Nebraska football teams
have not won n conference title in
eight years, the Cornhuskers still
lead the other Big Seven mem
bers with nine championships.
For the ten year period beginning
in 1928, Nebraska led the loop
eight times with Kansas breaking
in 1930 and Kansas State taking
first in 1934.
Nebraska and Iowa State are

"That's a library card," friend
explained in withering tones.
"Everybody has one."
"I don't," the senior said. "Can
I use yours?"
Friend shoved it over and
soon forgot about the experience.
And, of course, having neglected
to explain one little fact, friend
received a post card some days
later informing her that she had
a small library fine to pay. By
the time trite senior was contacted
and produced the cash, the
amount had grown to a week's
cigarette money.
. .THE MORAL to all this is find
out now how the library works
early in the game and make it
work for you, for if it works
against you, you may find it hard
on both your pocketbook and your
friendships.
Books ate placed in Love Li
brary according to a divisional
plan in four large reading rooms
humanities, science, social
studies and education. This is
done to break down the barriers
between students and books. Re
lated books, periodicals and ref
erence books are conveniently
grouped for the use of students
who need only walk to a shelf to
choose one, and start reading. Ad
ditional study rooms on the
ground floor are for students who
want to concentrate on their own
textbooks.
THE LIBRARY has space for
over 800,000 books and documents
and now contains the majority of
the half million books which com
prise the University libraries. It
has been in use as a library since
1945 when it was reconverted
from wartime use as an ASTP
barracks.
Completed in 1943 when the
army moved in, the library was
erected with the gift of .$850,000
from the estate of Don L. Love,
for many years a prominent Lin
coln lawyer and banker who was
also twice mayor of the city.
