Four University Projects Near
Completion as Semester Begins
Progress Seen
In Beautifying
U of N Campus
Nebraska university's building
and improvement program con
tinues to make progress this fall
with the near completion of four
major projects.
This announcement was made
by Charles W. Fowler, director of
Division of Building and Grounds
Tuesday.
The Mueller Carillion tower,
the new pVess box on the west
stadium, razing of the old boiler
plant adjacent to the Mechani
cal Arts building, and the grass
seeding throughout the campus
have all been completed or expect
to be in the very near future.
Work on the new Electrical En
gineering building is well under
way.
Carillion Tower.
According to Mr Fowler, the
carillion tower should be finish
ed around the latter part of Oc
tober. Electronic carillion bells
will be installed by that time and
the final cleaning up will be com
pleted. The dedication will take
place November 4.
$85,000 was donated by a Ne
braska alumnus to build the 80
foot sti-ucture.
Added room for the press will
be provided in the addition to the
press box in the West Stadium.
There will also be room for the
Television facilities which will
televise Nebraska's home games.
It is estimated that the end of the
week will see the completion of
this project. A few minor changes
and cleaning up remain.
Grass Seeded.
Grass has been seeded around
Love Memorial library, Social
Science, and Teachers college ex
cept for a small strip east of So
cial Science. This small part will
be completed as soon as weather
permits, Mr. Fowler assured.
Work was begun on this project
early iast fall. Shrubs, flowers and
trees were planted at that time
around newly laid sidewalks. The
seeding of the grass will nearly
finish this improvement.
Boiler Plant.
Since the boiler plant was
moved to its new location north
of the Military science building in
the early 1930's. the old boiler
plant has remained as a highway
testing laboratory. Adjacent to the
Mechanical Arts building, the
boiler plant has only been par
tially used by the university.
Because of the plant's weak
ened condition, the university de
cided to raze the building. The
only part that will remain wjll be
the civil service soil testing" lab
in the Engine Room. No future
plans for the location have been
made.
A shortage of bricklayers and
stonecutters has hampered prog
ress on the new Electrical Engi
neering building. It It hoped that
the building will be enclosed by
winter. Progress could be a little!
faster; Mr. Fowler said. '

U of N Graduates
Largest Summer
Class In History
Over 440 students received their
degrees at the end of the 1949
summer term.
This was the largest class of
summer graduates in University
history.
There was no regular cere
mony as these students were given
certificates and degrees. Diplomas
were issued at the Administra
tive building July 30.
The summer grad group was
similar to the class which pre
ceded it in that the June class also
rbroke all records for size.
University Students
1949 EB!ilmell,S,
Falls 10 (Per Ceitf
Nine thousand University students completed fall regis
tration Wednesday night following a three-day enrollment
period. This is a drop of about 10 per cent from last fall's
enrollment according to figures released by Dr. G. W.
Rosenlof, registrar.
A smoother student registration
system was provided for the two
thousand incoming freshmen and
transfer students. This system
eliminated much confusion and
pushed incoming students thru
registration at a faster rate.
Vet Enrollment Lower
The decrease in the number of
students, which was caused by a
drop in veterans, brings student
enrollment back to pre-war fig
ures. Colleges throughout the Uni
ted States are experiencing a de
crease from as much as 10 to 15
percent in enrollment because of
fewer veteran students. About 35
percent of students on the Nebras
ka campus this year will be vet
erans. In accordance, enrollment in the
various colleges has decreased
slightly, but the Med school is well
filled with a registration of 550
students. This includes 150 stu
dents m the School of Nursing and
89 freshmen med students.
A round figure of one thousand
students are enrolled on the Ag
campus, a slight drop from last
year. Graduate school enrollment
is about even with last year, with
a registration of nine hundred.
More Foreign Students.
Dr. Rosenlof expects an increi.se
in the number of foreign students
attending the University this year.
The enrollment of 140 foreign
students of last year is expected to
rise to loO or 175 this fall. Pros
fnt figures show that this includes
10 to 15 displaced persons, but
more are expected to enter later.
Registration went by smoothly
this year, and University officials
expect an even more revised sys
tem next spring. The addition of
a registration orientation class
kept registration on schedule.
