AND THE whole gigantic proj ect began like this: Late one Thursday afternoon in November, 1948, the eight men who make up the university's building committee came out of tne mue southeast room oo the COME ON tl to,,,'' Al JULY 3RD &4TH! im km MONDAY Fmtire Vmtk PICNIC O SWIM RIDE O DANCE THE DAILY NEBRASKAN second floor of the administration building. . They had come from that room more than 30 times before but this was different. This time the job was finished. All that re mained was one more re-typing of their 25-page report and then, the presentation of the report to the Board of Regents. THE FIRST long-range com prehensive study of University of Nebraska building needs was done. It was not in the hands of the regents and the 1949 legisla ture. Unlike previous paper outlines of a building program, this one was already a reality. The neces sary tax funds for much of the construction were coming in un der the special building fund levy enacted by the 1947 legislature and, more important, some of the building is already under way. THE building committee, ap pointed in 1947 by Chancellor R. G. Gustavson and headed by Dr. C. W. Borgmann, Dean of Fac ulties, had a good deal to say. It carefully set forth a con struction schedule which can give the university 36 new building units, including new structures and additions, during the current one-year building program. The program began with the enact ment of the special building tax late in 1947. Fourth out of every $1 that comes in under that levy is now ear-rriarked ' r the university. The levy is t to run for ten years. If it remains as enacted, it will provide the university with about $900,000 a year for building purposes. TIUS SUM, the committee esti mated, .will be enough to permit OUT FOR m mmmmm w w w w AT 11 P.M.! Opem ml I P.M. mm ft FREE JJ construction of 23 of the 36 build ing units. Stretching every avail able dollar to provide 36 new units will still leave the univer sity without a dozen buildings at needs, and needs badly. The university also needs a set sum for up-keep, however the building levy will provide funds necessary to complete property purchases which will round out the City Campus site. These pur chases are contemplated within an eight-block area lying to the north and east of the present campus. When complete, the City Campus will be bounded by Tenth street on the west; Avery avenue on W on the north, 17th street on the east, and R street, on the south. Many of the residential properties now located within the northeast corner of the plot are owned by the university. THE WHOLE program is guided by the following men: Dr. Carl W. Gormann, Dean of the Facul ties, chairman; John K. Selleck, business manager, Dr. Robert W. Goss, Graduate Dean; Dr. Earl S. Fullbrook, Dean of the College of Business Administration; Marvel L. Baker, Associate Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station; Linus Burr Smith, Chairman of Architecture and Architectural Engineering, and Charles F. Fow ler, Director of the Division of Building and Grounds. Nebraska's No. 1 sandlot base ball team is slated to meet with some of the best teams of the nation for the 1949 national cham pionship which will be decided for the 15th consecutive year at Wichita, August 19 to 31. Tha cream of the 48 state cham pions will share in a $50,000 purse of which $10,000 will go to the U. S. titlists. The Nebraska state tournament will be held at Omaha starting July 18. A total of 64,287 watched Ne braska's 11 home basketball games during the 1948-49 season. Yet, when the Coliseum was built in 1925, there were those who said that the building would hold a lot of hay, but that it would never be filled by people watching a basketball game. bewitching Beauties Magic Sheers from GOLD'S Soft rayon rinla that ar m fashion right fur summer Flattering fctylr for a radiantly lov-Jy you ...

Lewan dowski believes the 15,000 tickets available to the public will all be sold on a season basis. Notices will be sent to those who have already applied on or around July 15. Orders of buyers who do not remit checks or pick up their tickets by August 30 will be can celled. These tickets will be used in filling orders now on file and those which come in from now until the deadline. "In many instances applicants foor season tickets may be on vacation," Lewandowski said. "We suggest that they mail their checks to the Coliseum ticket office so . that their tickets will be held for them until their return." Nine thousand student books will be held for the 1949 season and 1,800 faculty tickets. The University's Memorial foot ball stadium is being dressed up for the fall. By removing four aisles in the end sections, workers have added 1,700 additional seats. The stadium proper will now have a seating capacity of 31,200. It formerly held 29,500. Two coats of paint are being applied to the seats and the seat numbers are being stenciled all of which means 31,200 indi vidual operations.
