clude the transformation of Par
lors XYZ into a room of modern
ism. The folding doors which di
vide the room have been re
upholstered with a fabric-backed
plastic. The double-door entrance
designed by the Union, contains
windows of double-paned glass
with wrought-iron, modernistic fish
decorations. Chairs and table of
black wrought iron and uphol
stered with an ivory plastic fabric
will complete the furnishings.
The game-nook, formerly to the
left of the crib, is now located in
basement room 18. The ping pong
room, also in the basement, is re
ceiving a new tile flooring, new
ping pong tables, and a coat of
wainscoting. The east entrance in
the back of the Union is also ready
for use. A sideswalk which will en
circle the Union has been added.
Most upperclassmen have prob
ably noticed the addition to the
Crib; but few, the subtraction. The
new self-service system is ex
pected to increase efficiency in
service, but will decrease the
capacity. A greater menu includ
ing a luncheon special, take-out
service and call-in service is be
ing planned.
The Round-Up Room will be
open for coffee-breaks from 8:45
to 10:30 a.m. and 2 to 4:30 p.m.
The Round-Up Room, besides reg
ular meals, will serve Sunday night
dinners, but no Sunday afternoon
meals. According to Duane Lake,
Union managing director, plans
are being made to install an or
gan.
A 27-inch television set has also
been ordered and should arrive in
several weeks, according to Lake.
The set now in the lounge will be
installed in the ballroom to be
used on special occasions. Plans
are being considered to install two
television sets in the lounges and
one in the Crib.
Plans for the new addition which
Lake said were still unpredictable,
include a wing to be finished by
1958 which will nearly double the
present capacity and include a
fine arts room for music recitals
with wall space for exhibits, bowl
ing alleys, billard equipment, game
rooms, dancing areas and ping
pong rooms.

Hardin Interview . . .
(Continued from page 1)
if anything develope it's our
fault."
Dr. Hardin was born on an In
diana farm near Knightstown in
1915. His eight years in 4-H
Club work were climaxed by win
ning a 4-H Club scholarship to Pur
due University where he received
. his Bachelor's, Master's and Ph.
D. degrees in 1937, 1939, and 1941.
He began his professional car
eer as an extension marketing spe
cialist and an instructor in agri
cultural economics at the Univer
sity of Wisconsin in 1941. After be
coming an assistant professor at
Wisconsin, he transferred in 1944
to Michigan State where he was
chairman of the Department of
Agriculture Economics.
In 1946 he was appointed assist
ant director of the Michigan State
experiment station. In 1953 he be
came Dean of the School of Agri
culture. In the course of his ac
tivities, his work took him abroad
first to western Europe, later to i
South America and then to the ,
Far East. j
As the University's youngest j
chancellor, Dr. Hardin is one of !
the youngest college presidents in
America. Twelfth in the line of
succession, he brings to the cam
pus and the state of Nebraska
well-seasoned experience fortified
by a rich background in scholarly
ard scientific achievement and
outstanding administrative accom
plishments. An author of numerous articles
and bulletins in the field of agri
culture economics, Dr. Hardin re
cently expressed views on athlet
ics, research, education and a
great university in an alumni bul
letin, i
In analyzing athletics and its
position in the college pattern, the
Chancellor wrote, "young people
come first to college for learning.
I want it to remain that way.
Meanwhile, I hope no one will try
to break me for a Saturday after
noon engagement this fall because j
I expect to be in Memorial Sta- j
dium."
"Research," he emphasized, is
"the well-spring from which new
knowledge is born." It provides
"bloom and substance" to the en
tire teaching and educational pro-:
gram.
He defined higher education as
a "great effort to find out more
about the world in which we live
and to communicate the findings
to others so that all of us can live
happier and more productive
live."
A great university, he stressed
must have a great teaching pro
gram. The faculty is "the heart
and soul of a university," he
aid. A great university, he said,
has "the duty of serving the com
munity which supports it ... can
not be fenced in or fenced off . . .
is a part of everyday life . . .should
shoulder responsibilities of a
great democracy . . . should re
spect convention but not worship
it."
Recognizing our age as one of
technology inhabited by the ex
pert and specialist, Dr. Hardin
nevertheless thinks the prime ob
jective is to teach young people
to think for themselves and func
tion as citizens in a democratic
society.
In a press interview last spring
the chancellor was reported as
saying the University should "ex
cel in its teaching, academic stand
ing and research, but should not
lose the common touch."
