Creighton Announces Huge
Building Expansion Plans

cities, wc face an even greater in
crease every year before I960.”
Father Reinert explained that
the critical need for buildings
and facilities exists at Creighton,
even without the expected surge
of students now in high schools
•Bd grade schools. “Creighton has
net added any major facilities in
the last 27 years, and many of
our buildings are antiquated for
present day teaching,” he said.
“We are indebted to the mem
bers of our Board of Lay Regents
and President's Council for the
time and counsel which they have
contributed to the preparation of
these plans," Father Reinert add-1
ed. |
“I am confident that the chal
lenge before us will meet with the
wholehearted approval of Oma
ha’s business and civic leaders as
wrell as our 15,000 alumni in all
parts of the country. It is with
their combine ! help that we hope
to accomplish these important
plans.”
An intensive fund campaign is
to be carried on in Omaha be
tween March :nd July and on a
nation wide basis among alumni
and friends from August to De
cember. • j
The following projects are part
of the second phase of the ten
year plan:
A new library building, $950,
000; a new medical school cen
ter, $4,000,000; equipment for the
medical center, $1,000,000; a
men’s dormitory, $750,000; a girls’
dormitory, $600,000; a science
building, $1,500,000; equipment
for the science building, $500,000;
a commerce school building,
$500,000; a Little Theater build
ing, $250,000; annual funds for
faculty development, research,.
scholarships and university ser
vices, $1,000,000.
The University president ex
plained that $1,015,000 in govern
ment loans and reserve funds are
available for financing of the ini
tial $3,193,000 phase. The $',*
750,000 campaign fund goal
would cover only part of the addi
tional $2,178,000 needed. “This
means that our $1,750,000 cam
paign fund goal is a minimum
figure, and it is actually less than
our real need.”
The University plans to re
evaluate periodically the 1959-66
phase of the development pro
gram. Detailed site and architec
tural planning is being limited to
the projects in the first phase.
Graduates of the Creigthon
medical school have contributed
a special fund of $600,000 which
may be used for the projected
medical school center, Father
Reinert said. He credited Creigh
ton alumni with having con
tributed a total of more then
$1/00,000 toward the University’s
needs in the last 10 years.

This Time, Build A Lifetime Fence

CJood fences make good farmers, and the best buy in fences is the
one you build once—and can forget for the next 30 years and more!
Of course, it is only as good as the corners or ends you give it.
The Rosemount comer, illustrated above from “Building Better
Farm Fences,” by J. R. Neetzel (U. of Minn. Extension Bulletin
*■'*s one °f the best. In actual tests, farm machinery has broken
through fence wires without dislodging these corners.
Durable posts are essential, too, and that means wooden posts
pressure-treated with penta to resist termites and decay for at least
30 years. With them, you get not only long service life but superior
strength and resistancg*to overturning as well.
And they are economical. Penta pressure-treated posts, such as
yellow pine, will provide a fence which far outlasts untreated posts
from the heartwood of even the most durable woods. You can use
posts of smaller diameter, too, three-inch to four-inch posts being
adequate for line construction.
Here is a quick check list to follow in your fence construction;’
Anchor your fence firmly with well-constructed end and
comer sections like the above.
Use wooden posts, pressure-treated with penta for a
service life of 30 years and more. Three-inch to four-inch
posts for line construction; as indicated above for ends and
corners.
Set the posts easily and economically with a power
post driver.
Avoid stretching the wire too tightly, and don’t stretch
barbed wire with macliinery.
Fasten the wire to the posts with lH-inch or longer
galvanized staples, angling them into the wood and against
the wire's direction of pull.
Leave sufficient room under the staple for the wire to
move freely.
DESIGN C-387. Here is a
roomy plan with features
that are desirable for either
city or farm.
The small room off the side
entry has a toilet, lavatory
and large closet. However,
there is still room for a
freezer, washer and dryer,
if necessary.
A SMALL HOUSE PLANNING BUREAU DESIGN NO. C-3S7
There are lots of closets,
well distributed throughout the house:
a large storage closet and others for
coats and linens.
The kitchen is compact and well arrang
ed and has a larger than usual dinette
and a china cabinet. The center bed
room could be used as a den, work
room, or even be converted into a din
ing room by leaving out the partition.
The exterior finish combines wide sid- jj
ing and stone with wide eaves. Floor
area is 1415 sq. ft with a cubage of *
26,838 cu. ft. including the full base- j
ment. I
Automation
Gains Rural
Foothold
A new era is dawning on Ne-!
braska farms as automation, glam
or word of U.S. industry, moves
from factory to farm.
As a result, more and more of
the state’s 107,183 farmers are
turning to push-button electric
and electronic devices to solve
their production and labor prob
lems.
According to farm experts these
robot devices can be expected to
have a revolutionary effect equal
ing, if not surpassing the intro
duction of farm machinery.
The average Nebraska farmer
(statistically speaking, he has a
442.9 acre farm valued at approxi
mately $25,517) now has the
electricity to operate such labor
saving aids as washing machines,
freezers (11,063 farms have
these) grain driers, feed grind
ers, and other automatic equip
ment. More than 78 percent of
the farmers in the state are elec
trifide.
A nationwide study showed that
agriculture in America is moving
“from the age of mechanization to
the age of automation to the age
of automation.”
Trend Pushed
The trend is being pushed along
by many factors: more college
trained farmers, vast research
programs by colleges and the
USDA and the research and en
gineering by industrial firms to
provide farmers with labor-saving
equipment.
All this is having an effect on
the nature of farming in Nebras
ka and throughout the nation.
Typical is dairying. Clean and
convenient milking “parlors”
scientifically ventilated and auto
matically heated or cooled are re
placing old-time crowded stanch
ions on many of the state’s 85,183
farms that maintain milk cows.
Automatic milkers are becom
ing common with farms here us
ing machines in place of old-fash
ioned methods.
Farm Buildings Heated
Some farm buildings — barns,
poultry houses, milk houses and
even a few farm homes — are
now heated by a reverse-running
refrigerator called a “heat pump’’
which draws heat from water or
the earth and circulates it
through the building. In summer
it reverses the process for cooling,
absorbing heat from the warm
room.
Automatic barn cleaners and
automatic feed mixers, which sci
entifically blend feed, are grow
ing in use.
On many farms a “green-grass”
diet is provided livestock from
glass-lined steel silos. New ther
mostats and heating devices keep
drinking water ice-free.
Broders Equipped
Sensitive heat-detecting devices
similar to those used in industrial
furnaces automatically insure the
safety of unattended brooders in
hog and poultry houses. Elec
tric chick broders on some 18,162
farms provide controlled tempera
