BARBOUR SAYS
NEBRASKA HAS
UNION BUILDING

unity among student organizations
back," he said. "With the present
lack of centralization this spirit is
dead. If organizations could just
get together again they could
start a unified fight for a new
building and sentiment would
doubtless respond with the advan
tage of it displayed in actuality."
Met With Opposition.
The building of the Temple met
with much abuse .and opposition
from people in the state and even
from certain faculty members and
Lincoln people. "Those who were
most active in the drive had to
fight for the money except where
students were concerned. And
Chancellor Andrews fought for
the student center all the time he
was in office," Dr. Barbour af
firmed. Dr. Barbour, J. E. Miller, Frank
Hall, and Seely Clark composed
the committee that shouldered the
work. Plans for the building were
drawn by Dr. Barbour and ap
proved by the administration be
fore the actual construction plan
ning was begun.
Many Contributed.
Contributions were made by
students, student organizations,
facu!iy and townspeople. The or
ganizations, aororitlea and fra
ternities In particular, were most
generous In contributing money,
some of them giving more than
$3,000 in group pledges.
The present Temple building Is
not as ft was originally planned.
The theater was never meant for
a public theater but for a student
recreation room. The space now
used by the cafeteria was intended
to be split up in small rooms
wherein committees could meet
during the noon hour and have
lunch served to them during the
course of their get-togethers.
$35,000 Was Raised.
The actual amount raised by
the drive approximated $35,000.
According to Dr. Barbour, Chan
cellor Andrews, who had been a
professor of John D. Rockefeller,
jr., at Brown university, succeeded
in Interesting him in the project to
the extant that he promised to
give two dollars for every one
raised by Cornhuskers. He kept
his promise and the thanks he re
ceived publicly was a strenuous
objection by the Nebraska press
which were opposed to the project.

The Union has opened the eyes

every piece of furniture has been
chosen with such care that it fits
into the general plan admirably.
The colorful draperies and cover

chosen pictures that adorn the
walls, the rugs and other fittings
create an air of beauty as well as
of comfort. There is room for all
who care to come and sit and read

development, not merely of a

Arts and Sciences College Is
Sorely in Need of Instructors
And Building Says Dean Hicks
Krtllor'f note Thta li tna ninth of s,
ssrles dtvoUrt to tht llf(rnt univer
sity department!. The articles will
tell or possibilities and needs of tlx 1-
K ailments, with something of their
Istory.
BY LEONARD L. CASTLE.
With a larger teaching load
than all the other colleges of the
university campus combined, the
arts and sciences college Is greatly
in need of more instructors and a
new building, according to Deon
John D. Hicks, dean of the college.
This college does more teaching
than all the other colleges com
bined. The English department of the
arts and sciences college is par
ticularly deficient in the number
of Instructors on the staff. This Is
only one of the many departments
of the college, however, that needs
more Instructors. Dean Hicks
feels that most of the classes are
entirely too large for the students
to get full benefit .from the
courses.
Wants Smaller Classes.
He desires smaller classes in all
the departments so the students
may receive more individual at
tention and also so the system of
reading and grading papers may
be changed. Dean Hicks feels
that the reading of papers by stu
dents is not a good plan and says
that if more instructors were
added and smaller classes made
the reading could be done by the
instructors themselves. With
smaller classes the instructors
would also be able to devote more
time to private conferences with
the students.
According to Dean Hicks there
isn't a college on the campus that
is as remotely bad off as the col
lege of arts and sciences. In
cluded in the college are two de
partments which, combined, carry
a larger teaching load than any
college in the university with the
exception of the arts college it
self. These departments are the
mathematics department and the
romance language department.
The math department has one
floor in the old mechanical arts
building for its work while the
language department occupies one
floor of ola university hall. Both
of these buildings are very old and
the facilities are exceedingly bad.
Hopes for New Building.
Dean Hicks has hopes that the
the alumni I might say that what
we coaches want is a fair deal
not assistance."
Need Emotional Outlet.
Speaking of the place athletics
should have In the university cur
riculum, Rockne said he believed
that academic training should be
the foundation of a student's edu
cation but that also he must have
an emotional outlet
"Athletic competition gives phy
sical benefits, wholesome recrea
tion, builds character and teaches
the participant team play and co
operation. This is just as import
ant as academic training.
Athletes Carry a Responsibility.
"The student that represents his
university on the athletic field
carries a responsibility he will do
well to remember. The faculty and
coaches have the right to say these
representatives shall not do any
thing to harm their own physical
condition, the reputation of the
university or benefit they derive
from their studies. The student
should be willing to live up to this
responsibility in return for the
training and honor he is being
given."
In closing, Rockne wished the
student body, its new coach, and
its football team "victory over
Stanford at least a fair share of
the time."
World Goes on Facts.
Stout, introduced as "a minist
er's son who had not gone alto
gether wrong," pointed out that
today the world is proceeding on
facts rather than opinions. He
showed the great effect of the life
and habits of the people brought
about by new inventions and ideas.
"The world is looking to institu
tions of learning such as this," he
continued, "for the men to bring
about more important develop
ments in the age to come. I'm
sure it will not be disappointed."
Physically, Coeds
Today Outdo Girls
Half Century Ago
Physically, coeds of today are
it much better condition thar the
j iiis of fifty years ago, acrorning
to Dr. E. E. Jacobs, president of
Ashland college in Ashland, O
Dr. Jacobs, who has studied for
the last fifteen years the physical
measurements of about 6,000 fresh
man girls whose ages are from
eighteen to nineteen, says the
height, weight, lung capacity, and
chest rirth have all increased.
He advances the opinion that
the causes for the increase in
vigor is probably due to the fol
lowing facts, college girls are
coming from a different stratum
of society than formerly; previ
ous Improved high school training
in physical education may have
had its effects; general health con
ditions of all homes are better
than formerly; it may be also that
the general physical vigor of this
part of the population is Improv
ing; or it may be that the vigorous
and robust girls are setting out for
college rather than the weaker
ones, for modern college life a?'
peals more and more to the vigor

college may get a new building
sometime in the future. A new
building to house the two over
crowded departments mentioned
and also to have offices for in
structors Is needed very much.
Another Important need of the
ml lege is adequate library space.
The arts college library now has
about 234,000 volumes but more
than half of theso are In storage
and are of no use whatsoever to
students. It is extremely difficult
to add new books to the library
because when new books are
bought old ones must be taken out
and stored. Dean Hicks feels that
the college will never be able to
accomplish the work it should be
doing without necessary library
space.
Besides the large number of its
own students that it is instructing
the arts college is also taking care
of from 30 to 50 percent of the
students enrolled in most of the
other colleges of the university.
Most students, regardless of the
college in which they are enrolled,
take some classes in the arts col
lege and this extra load Increases
the already heavy burden of the
college. The arts college now has
an enrollment of 2,090 and is the
largest In the university. The sec
ond largest, the teachers college,
has an enrollment of 1,626.
Dean Hicks has been connected
with Nebraska since 1923 when he
came to the university as a pro
fessor of history. He was made
dean of the arts and sciences col
lege in 1929. He was granted a
leave of absence for a semester a
few days ago to answer an invi
tation to give courses In American
history at Harvard university. He
will replace a regular member of
the department on leave in Europe.
Was First College.
The arts college was the first
college of the university, the uni
versity first opening its doors in
1871 as a college or arts ana sci
ences. The college does not at
tempt to prepare its students for
specific professions but has as its
end the acquaintance of those en
tering its courses with the spirit
and content of liberal learning.
The college is directed to the de
velopment of the student's mental
powers and they aim to give him
his bearings in the universe of
nature and in the world of men.

will be silent.
It is planned that the picture
will be shown on the campus and

Another film may be taken a

The only element of uncertainty
in this project is the scenario, for
which writers on the campus are
