Nebraskan Prepares What and Why of (By Bill T. McCleery.) For the benefit of freshmen. The Daily Nebraskan wishes to present a directory of campus buildings. Social Sciences is so called be cause of the heavy social duty that is carried on around the pillars. The simplest way to find that structure is to look for a crowd. Andrews hall Is the building across the drill field. One usually walks over there, a distance of some miles, only to find that he should be in Annex or some other distant place. University hall used to be one of the skyscrapers but the sky finally won and scraped most of "U" hall away. 1 Chemistry ball is a concrete ex ample of the slogan concerning the amount of difference a few scents make. Any freshman with the ability to smell should have little difficulty in following his nose to Chem hall, home of the foul odors. Grant Memorial hall faces Social Sciences.
