BARBOUR SAYS
NEBRASKA HAS
UNION BUILDING
Temple Was Taken Over
To House University
Projects.

Contributed 2 to 1 for
Each Dollar of Other
Monetary Support.
BY FRANCES HOLYOKE.
That Nebraska has a student
union building called the Temple
which was gradually taken over
by an ever growing university to
house class and office rooms was
revealed yesterday to a Daily Ne
braskan reporter by Dr. E. H. Bar
bour, head of the geology depart
ment. Dr. Barbour described the stren
uous campaign carried on during
the administration of Chancellor
Andrews which resulted in the
erection of the Temple, and de
clared that students were among
the contributors to the building
fund.
Built in 1908.
The Temple was erected in 1908
for the purpose of housing school
activities of a social and religious
nature. Offices of all student or
ganizations were located there. It
was through the efforts of Chan
cellor Andrews that the pro
ject was undertaken;
When asked how students lost
possession of their building. Dr.
Barbour explained that the univer
sity was at that time so hard
pressed for room that vacant
rooms were used to rwis profes
sors who had no office space. The
number of student activities was
smaller then, and there were a
number of rooms not in use. One
grant of spare space led to anoth
er. One department after another
movd Into the building during the
summer vacation. In this way stu
dents were eventually crowded out
of the building until now there are
no student organizations excepting
the Y. M. C. A., literary societies,
and the dramatic club with quar
ters there.
Not Students Fault.
"This was not definitely the
fault of the students," Dr. Barbour
explained, "nor was it a display of
lack of interest. There was no
definite Union body in charge and
for that reason students had no
authority to whom they could re
sort to regain lost spaces."
Dr. Barbour expressed the opin
ion that the centralizing of activ
ities even in an old building would
be a splendid thing. "It would
bring the spirit of co-operation and

Urges Students to Develop
Minds for Life in
Outer World.
"The function of an education
is to develop the mind," T. J.
Thompson, dean of student affairs
declared at Vespers, Tuesday af
ternoon, at 5 o'clock. "Develop
your mind so that when you get
through with your university life
you can go out and live, and take
an interest In the problems of the
community to which you go."
"Diet yourself in a mental
sense" Dean Thompson continued,
"as well as in a physical sense."
If you see that material you are
reading will not help you to de
velop your mind, discontinue it,
and start reading something else.
"I believe that a student In col
lege should gage his advances,"
stated the Dean, "I am afraid that
you are not developing your men
tality. Take subjects that will
test your mentality."
"You are confronted with a
multitude of problems," continued
Dean Thompson. "Among thera is
the problem of your education. I
have rather a hazy idea why you

Brains, Good Voice

Requirements.
BY BERNARD JENNINGS.
"Brains and a good voice," de
clared Richard Bonelli, a member
of the Chicago Civic Opera com
pany, which appeared in Lincoln
March 17, "are the most necessary
requirements for a successful
opera singer. Of course there are
many other things that he must
have, but these two are the most
important, I believe.
"It is also necessary for an
opera singer in the United States
ti know at least four languages.
French, German, Italian and Eng
lish are the raont Important. If

country, ths opera is usually pre

1931 Farmer's fair. The Initial
rally is to be held in Ag hall start
ing at 7:15 p. m. tonight, accord
ing to Myrle White, fair man

off on the annual students fair
held on the ag campus. This year
the fair comes on Saturday, May

nual. Skit to Feature.
A skit by the junior fair board
will be one of the features of the
first rally of the year. Delphian
Nash, board member, is making
all arrangements for the skit.
Members of the fair boards will be
introduced to the students present
at hte rally. Several agricultural
college faculty members are also
expected to speak briefly in back
ing the 1931 fair. ,
With the announcement of the
fair committees in The Daily Ne
braska Wednesday, more interest
than ever in the fair is being
shown on the ag campus. Gossip
has it that the 1931 show will be
far better than ever. Manager
White believes the turnout for the
rally tonight will be larger than
in former years with more spirit
being shown by all students on the
campus.
The senior fair board is to meet
with the committee chairman after
the rally this evening. The chair
men will be told some of the tasks
that confront them and urged to
get their work under way imme

Since early last week, screeches

Many American Artists.
"Lincoln is our last performance
this season. Although many of our
artists are Americans, after to

Chicago Civic Opera company
probably has more Americans in
its company than any other opera
company."
Richard Bonelli played Tonio,
the clown, in "I Pagliacci." the
second opera of the evening. This
was Mr. Bonelli's second appear

In "Faust," which was given two
years ago. He is also one of the

STUDENT COUNCIL
FINISHES LABORS
ON CONSTITUTION
Document Gops to Faculty
Committee on Student
Affairs Today.
JUDICIARY IS PROVIDED
Two Committees of Faculty
And Students Are
Arranged For.
Climaxing the work of more
than five months the Student
council moulded its new constitu
tion Into final shape, Wednesday
afternoon by incorporating a new
amendment which provides for a
judiciary committee of Student
souncil members, which will en
force its legislation. It also
amended the eligibility section of
its powers clause, changing it to
cover extra-curricular activities
exclusive of intercollegiate compe
tition. Introduction of the enforcement
provision was effected four weeks
ago by Councilors Fred V. Grau
and Esther Gaylord who proposed
a device for carrying into execu
tion the council's laws. Their
amendment provides for the erec
tion of two committees, a student
judiciary committee and a faculty
executive committee.
Each Has Six Members.
The former will be composed of
five student members and a facul
ty member with no vote, while the
latter will be comprised of five
faculty and administrative mem
bers and a student member with
out voting powers. These two
committees will decide the proper
student organizations to whom the
enforcement of various Student
council members should be dele
gated. If the constitution, which is be
ing submitted to Professor Ful
brook's sub-faculty committee on
student affairs today, is finally ac
cepted by the faculty committee
on student affairs, the university
senate and the student body, it will
mark the first time the council has
had any potential jurisdiction or
means of enforcing it. The new
document will be presented to Pro
fessor Fulbrook's sub-faculty com
mittee on student affairs Thurs
day. Discuss Eligibility Clause.
Rampant discussion centered
about the eligibility provision of
the powers clause in the constitu
tion. Edwin Faulkner, chairman
of the constitution committee,
recommended that the council
strike out this provision as he be
lieved its inclusion would result
only in rejection of the constitu
tion by the faculty. Other council
members, however, asserted that
that body would be passing up its
only chance to assume some real

many brilliant passages in which
those instruments stand out.
Among the main features of the
program will be a trumpet solo by
John Schildneck and two vocal

Wyoming Squad On
Unemployment.
A Nebraska debate squad will
uphold the affirmative side of the
unemployment insurance question
against a team from the Univer
sity of Wyoming Saturday over
KFAB at 2 p. m.
The opponents will present a
team composed entirely of womn.
This Is the first time that a squad
composed entirely of girls has op
posed the Huskers, though in the
debate with Denver university two
years ago, a member of the weaker
sex was on each team. Nebraska
will be represented by Ted R.
Feidler, first year law student of
Scottsbluff, and Edwin J. Faulk
ner, jr., junior in the arts college
of Lincoln. This same combina
tion upheld the affirmative against
Albion college recently.
Question is Unemployment.
The unemployment insurance
question runs as follows, "That the
several states should enact legisla
tion providing for compulsory un
employment insurance to which
the employer shall be required to
contribute."
The free trade question will be
argued next Tuesday, March 24, at
5 o'clock against the University of
Colorado, over KFOR. The Ne
braskans will take the affirmative
and will present a squad consist
ing of Jack Devoe, third year law
of Lincoln, and Bernard Ptak,
fourth year law of Norfolk. The
statement of the question is as fol
lows: "That the nations should
adopt a policy of free trade."
Several Debates Finished.
Ptak, together with Feidler,
composed the team that met the
University of South Dakota, Mar.
9, at Abraham Lincoln high school
in Council Bluffs, in argument of
the same subject. Geaorge Hut
ton and Earl C. Fishbaugh also
debated the free trade question,
Mar. 4 and 5 against the Univer

Thing.'
IS FIRST ONE OF YEAR
Publication Strikes at Few
University Officials and
Legislators.
Characterizing "With Fire and
Sv.ord," anonymous publicatiou
which appeared on the campus
yesterday morning, as a "cowardly
thing," Chancellor E. A. Burnett,
in a signed statement, declared
that every elfort would be made
by university authorities to run
down the perpetrator of the pub
lication. "With Fire and Sword" char
acterized certain taculty members
and members of the state legisla
ture in a derogatory fashion. The
publication, first of its kind this
year, purported to be a continu
ance of an anonymous paper of
the same name which appeared in
the spring of 3930 on throe occa
sions. Draws Immediate Fire.
This year's number immediately
drew fire from university admin
istrative officials. Followng a con
ference yesterday alternoon, the
chancellor issued this statement:
The reappearance of the anon
ymous publication "With Fire
and Sword" on the campus eaily
yesterday morning calls for pos
itive action on the part of uni
versity officials. An anony
mous publication is always a
Cowardly liiiiiy. The aUitenieiiU
made in this publication are
libelous, both as to members of
the university faculty and to
members of the legislature. The
university will undertake to dis
cover the author or authors of
this publication, and when dis
covered w ill turn them over to
the proper authorities for pros
ecution. E. A. BURNETT,
Chancellor.
Distribution of this year's num
ber was accomplished through the
agency of a taxi cab, which halted
in front of a near-campus eatinj
shop about 9:55 in the morning.
The driver handed the parcel of
papers to a student who passed by,
and said, "Take these in theie.''
The student, whose name could not
be learned, complied with the re
quest, and the cab drove off.
Will Be Prosecuted.
Tint prosecution of the writer
or writers of the paper is certain
if they can be apprehended was
construed from the statement
made by the chancellor.
The pamphlet itself was printed
on a mimeograph, and devoted
two full pasres to casting reflec
tions upon certain faculty mem
bers and the legislature.
