Next summer, the remaining
wall* will be re-plastered. Ceil
ings in classrooms and corridors
will be lowered to prevent heat
loss and modernize the appear
ance of the rooms. New and ad
ditional lighting fixtures will be
installed.And new floors will be
laid throughout.
The renovated building could
provide space for eighteen addi
tional classrooms for University
students. And, certain areas will
be converted into teachers’ offi
ces.
By September, 1958, University
students will move into expanded
facilities, provided at an estima
ted one-eighth of the cost of add
ing the same facilities through

- Little Rock
Mayor Defies
The Governor
Little Rock’ Ark. (CNS) — In
a tension-tight town such as'
Little Rock, Arkansas, where
the nation watches the outcome:
of an integration situation which J
could easily cause conflict in1
other southern cities faced with
the same problem: integration
in the city schools, we find a
mayor who is definitely not a
gainst integration.
Mayor Woodrow Wilson Mann
gays he’s prepared to send his
entire police force of 175 men
to break up th crowds at Cen
tral High School. Himself a
graduate of 1934, Mr. Mann's
oldest son, Woodrow, Jr., at
tends classes there. The Mayor
believes the Governor should
be stopped in his attempt to
keep nine Negroes from enroll
ing in the high school "or wc
will face anarchy "
Asked whether his son would
attend an integrated school, the
Mayor promptly stated: "He
most certainly would. He would
obey the law of the land the
way the rest of us would."
This opinion seems to be cir
culating hmong the students.
The President of the Student
Council also stated he would
not resist sttending classes with
Negro students and neither
would any of his fellow class
mates. However, if It came to
dating Negro *udents. that
would be something different,
he stated They all feel that
since Integration must inevit
ably come, why not accept it
peacefully now.

Work Not
Damaging
To Heart
How hard do you work? Heart
research has shown that most
likely you don’t work nearly as
hard as you think you do.
A scientist doing much of this
research, Dr. Herman K. Heller
stein of Cleveland, is one of six
nat ionally recognized experts
who will speak to doctors at the
Eighth Annual Scientific Sessions
of the Nebraska Heart Associa
tion, October 3-5, at Omaha.
His study of the energy re
quirements of heart patients and
healthy workers on their jobs
indicates that may industrial
jobs require less energy than
things workers do in free time.
More than half the jobs studied
had an average energy cost of
less than two calories a minute,
compared with three calories a
minute for merely washing, shav
ing and dressing.
Walking constituted the heav
est exertion in most jobs. Going
around the block requires more
than six calories a minute, said
the Heart Association.
Dr. Hellerstein’s studies shows
that heart patients did not have
to work any harder than the
healthy subjects in order to per
form the same tasks
He has concluded that many
jobs in modern industry require
so low an expenditure of energy
that they are well within the ca
pacity of persons with heart dis
ease.
The Cleveland researcher and
all other speakers at the Nebras
ka Heart Association sessions
will report on latest efforts to
combat heart attacks and to help
the heart attack patient.
All Nebraska physicians and
medical sudents have been in
vited to attend without charge.
The Heart Fund - suppportod
meeting is designed to help keep
medical men abreast of latest de
velopments in the heart field.

Work Is Set To
Roll On Plant
Near Hallam
COLUMBUS, NEB. — Consum
ers Public Power District official#
Saturday were highly pleased
over the announcement from
Washington, D. C„ of the approv
| al of the CPPD-Atomic Energy
Commission contract for the con
struction of an atomic power
plant near Hallam, Nebraska.
Consumers officials, pointing
out that their approval and sign
ing was the culmination of more
than two year’s negotiations and
studies.
Mark T. Moore, Kearney busi
nessman and CPPD president,
was joined by R. L. Schaeht. Con
sumers' General Manager, in stat
ing that much credit should go to
the many hard-working indivi
duals and groups, state organisa
tions and others who aided Con
sumers in obtaining the atomic
power plant for Nebraska.
President Moore, speaking on
behalf of the other si:t members
of Consumers’ Board of Directors,
also said:
“The coming of the atomic
power age to Nebraska in the
form of a sodium-graphite-type
nuclear power plant is the great
est history-making chapter in the
state’s development since Nebras
ka was admitted te the Union on
March I, 1867. In less than BO
years, Nebraska will have used
water, coal, gas, and oil and now
atomic energy as a means of sup
plying electric power."
"Nebraska can look forward
to a bright, rewarding future
with scores of new developments
that seem assured with the ad
vent of atomic energy in this
state. It not only will mean a
new way of generating electricity
within the state but also atomic
energy will attract new industries
to Nebraska to the end that Ne
braska educational institutions
and the state’s many excellent
agricultural and manufactured
products become more widely and
favorably known.”
