U& ve- w - concerning Union expansion. students may be inlormeci runy on uie suuject, we wm at tempt to answer some of these questions as clearly as possible. , , ,T7i- The most important one asked by a student was, Why do we need a Union addition? I don't think there is a need. In the first Dlace. the present Union fee of three dol lars a semester is worth less than 50 percent of what it was 12 vears ago when the fee was established. Yet, enrollment is only au percent aDove pre-war leveis. ncmdoaao fee never has been raised to meet growing operating costs. Depreciation on the present building is taking an increas ingly large cut of the Union budget each year. But what does this have to do with a Union addition? Just this if the fee is raised, the additional three dollars will provide funds for a new wing, besides helping to meet increased operational costs. Enough money would be avail able with the fee raise to build an addition which would give the students many more recreational and activity facilities. It would also provide adequate funds to keep the present building in top condition, which is costing more as the building grows older. Naturally, the question of need rests with the students themselves. Those who direct the Union's services and fi nances know that fees are not meeting costs and can prove it by plain arithmetic. But if the students do not want a Union which will offer them are the ones who will decide. provide services whjch many like Nebraska offer, and the are already overtaxed. Another question which should we spend money on a Union addition when there are many other buildings which should be built on the campus? The answer to this lies with the tax payer. Other university buildings which are built for class rooms and laboratories are financed by taxes. But the Union, which is not used directly for educational purposes, must be financed by the Etuaenrs tnemseives. xne present building will have to do for the next thousand years unless the students decide that they want a new building or an addition. For example, the Board of Regents recently increased the tuition fee to $76.50. The additional $1.50 will go to Student Health. But Student Health is riot included in the tuition fee. The Union is, and if students want more activ ity facilities, they must give the go ahead signal. . A third question has been brought. students who have only one versity iney asK, "way should I pay extra money for a Union addition when I won't be in school to get any benefit from it? It probably won't be built for several years " Obviously, this attitude is logical but not very practical. The only answer we can offer is that there never would have been a Union in the first place if students with this attitude had outnumbered those who wished progress We can ever expect to move forward in any project if we fail to recognize the needs and wants of those who follow us These three questions Jiave been brought to to our at tention through conversation around the campus.

He is Dr. Norman H. Cromwell, who has been connected with the University since 1939. The followship brings to him the chance for none months of study and research in or ganic chemistry at University College, University of Lon don, as well as a visit to several other colleges on the European mainland. Dr. Cromwell has written several technical publications concerning theoretical organic chem istry. He has been the recipient of two U. S. Public Health Service grants for research related to cancer. The twist record and capacity of this jiicoduic up iw nils recognition oi nis aDluty. The award which went to Deane Hansen at the an nual Mid Central Agricultural Engineers' conference def initely points to a promising future for this Ap Jng student He competed with contestants from other echools in writing a paper concerning farm problems which was designated as the winning article. Hansen showed himself an up-and-coming Ag engineer with his discussion concerning a tractor designed front-end mounted machinery. Student Interested in literature are looking forward to a University professor's collected poems which will come off the press in the near future. "Young Man with a Screwdriver" contains the modern poetry of Oliver Evans, University English professor whose name is well known in Nebraska and by literary-minded people throughout the nation. Perhaps the best tribute which can be . paid to L-roiessor ivans is round in Playwright-Poet Tennessee with his art instead of by and fox it, which is happier for him and even somehow, more comforting to his listeners. The poetry contained in this volume is not of the explosive nor compulsive kind, nor is it the work of a deliberately self-conscious professional man of letters. For this poet, Oliver Evans, belongs to the oldest and purest tradition of his kind." Tennessee Williams' words are those felt by students and faculty members who are proud to point out their association wilh Oliver Evans. , A special word of praise is due Dr. W. H. Werkmeister, c! airman of the philosophy department, who has been i ' r.iei to conduct the annual Tully Cleon Knowles lectures 1 1 the College of the Pacific In May.

The lad plays a trig ger - happy young Texan in his first film, which tells the story of a Texas feud in semi- docu m e n t a r y screen terms. Critics, com- Krueger menting on the film, mention the realistic acting of the boy. For example, women visitors gasped as young Barrymore was "lashed" with a whip and writhed in pain before the cam era on the set. Although the di rector cautioned them to keep quiet, as their gasps were being picked up by the microphone, they did not remain inaudible, and finally were shooed away. One rather unusual novelty in the picture Is the S-shaped cig arettes that Robert Preston, the villain, smokes. "Deputy Marshal" With a cast headed by Jon Hall and Frances Langford, "Deputy Marshal" is now show ing at the Varsity. In the pic ture Jon Hall, as the deputy marshal, is bent on cleaning up the murders and robberies in the community, while Miss Langford enacts the role of a cattle rancher being pushed off her grazing lands. Dick Foran is the easy going villain. Others in the cast are Julie Bishop, Joe Sayer and Russell Hayden. "Square Dance Jubilee" Co-feature is "Square Dance Jubilee," starring Don "Red" Barry, Mary Beth Hughes, Wally Vernon and Spade Cooley. The picture is filled with musical numbers. "Stormy" Filmed in the Painted Desert, Oak Creek Canyon and other spots in Arizona, the film "Stormy" is now showing at the Husker. Noah Beery, jr., takes the title role and Jean Rogers plays the leading feminine part. Rex, called tha king of wild horses, also play? a lead. One highlight of the film is the sen sational stampede of 1,500 wild horses. "Railroaded" Playing as the co-feature is "Railroaded," starring S h e i 1 a j Ryan, John Ireland and Hugh Beaumont. Sheila is cast as the girl whose brother ;s accused of a holdup and the subsequent murder of a policeman. Hugh plays a young detective who be lieved the boy to be innocent and sets out to prove it.
