New Bill Removes
Four Mile Limit on
College Buildings
A sixty-year-old law which lim
its the construction of university
buildings to a four mile radius of
the state capital will be changed
if H. R. 110, by Hovls of Dawson
county Is passed during this ses
sion of the legislature.
Such a change Is advocated by
Hovls because at the present time
buildings of the university are lo
cated In Omaha and Curtis, both
outside of the limit. Under the
present law appropriations for use
in these places cannot legally be
made. "We are doing something
contrary to law and some one may
check up on us," Hovls said In sup
port of his proposed bill. It was
approved In the house committee
of the whole Wednesday.
ED
Extension Group Makes
Announcement of One
Term Session
REGISTRATION JUNE 10
Preliminary announcement of
plans for the Summer Session of
1929 have been announced by the
university extension department in
the weekly publication. The out
standing difference in the coming
session is the fact that it will con
sist of one term of nine weeks,
rather than the usual two terms of
six weeks each.
The session will open June 12
and close August 8. Registration
will be held June 10 and 11. These
recommendations of the University
senate and the summer school di
rector, were approved by the board
of regents in November.
Change to the nine -weeks plan
was made !n part in response to
the demand that the summer
school work should be of a quality
comparable to that of the regular
school year. Most of the university
courses during the academic year
are three hour courses, and a nine
weeks' session lends Itself better to
such courses.
