TEMPLE COULDN'T
SERVE AS UNION.
RAMSAY ASSERTS

eating place a Student Union
building would need. It's main
defects, he said, are that it is not
particularly inviting and that its
floor space is considerably
cramped.
"Might Have Been."
"I am willing to concede the
fact that the Temple would have
served as a Student Union build
ing at one time," Ramsay de
clared, "but that time has passed,
and such a plan would now be lit
erally impossible."
"In the first place, the ceilings
are far too low, and the Interior
of the structure lacks the atmos
phere of a typical Student Union
building. There is no large room
where a crowd of students could
gather for banquets or dances.
Such a hall, in fact, cannot ba
found at any place on the campus,
and that Is one of the purposes
which a new student union build
ing would fittingly serve."
"When there wer between one
and two thousand students on the
campus, the Temple might have
made an excellent home for all
university activities. Now, how
ever, the number has Increased to
between six and seven thousand,
and the Impracticability of the
plan Is evident If a student union
building were merely for housing
a number of offices and commit
tee rooms, the Temple would serve
nicely, but the real motive in such
a project is to secure an adequate
home for all student affairs. Even
the best reconstruction of the
present building would result in a
makeshift affair.
Stray Classes.
"If the Temple should be con
verted into a student union build
ing, the problem of were to put
the classes that meet there regu
larly would arise. Also, the Lin
coln Woman's club, which has
headquarters In the Temple, would
be forced to seek a new location.
"The cost of remodeling the
theater itself would be prohibitive.
A large, well equipped theater is
badly needed by the university at
present The etage in the present
one la far too small, and It would
be Impossible to enlarge It. The
seating capacity of the auditorium
is now only 620, which is decidedly
inadequate. Also, the temperature
regulation is ill arranged, adding
to the discomfort of spectators.
'H the entire building were
made over under the best plans
obtainable, it wouldn't be good
enough. It is plain that the pres-

LIST IN NEBRASKA
University Booklet
Industry Leads
Says
In
Gross Income.
"Nebraska's basic industry is
agriculture," is the opening sen
tence of a new publication of the
university that explains the results
of activities of the college of agri
culture. The booklet goes on to tell how
the gross cash farm income for the
state is $475,000,000 annually. Man
ufacturers are a close second with
over $400,000,000. but agriculture
furnishes 70 percent of the raw
products for these. Forty-seven
percent of her population live on
her 128,000 farms, says the book
let. "It is startling," it continues,
"but within the memory of living
men the value of the soil of Ne
braska was discovered. Until six
ty or seventy years ago the plains
territory, of which Nebraska was
a part, was looked upon only as a
highway to the regions of fur and
gold that lay farther west."
Improve Crops.
Activities in the line of crop im
provement are reported by the col
lege, including the study of sweet
clover, soil moisture, and new va
rieties of seed. Among the prob
lems considered in soil Improve
ment work are field erosion which
carries away the fertile upper lay
ers of soil and crop rotation to
maintain fertility.
Development of a hardy afalfa
for Nebraska, certified seed pota
to work, and the fight against
weeds, insects, and plant diseases
by the college are all treated in
the report.
In 1920, says the university pub
lication, the cows on the farms of
Nebraska averaged 125 pounds of
butterfat annually. In 1929, it re
ports, they averaged 175 pounds,
or an increase of 40 percent Dairy
herd Improvement associations,
calf clubs, Judging contests, and
other activities sponsored hy the
college are credited with heip.ng
promote this increase in produc
tion, so that the state now ranks
fifth as a producer of all dairy
products.
College Helps Nebraska.
Detailed Information is given of
ways in which the college has
helped .Nebraskans. It reports,
for instance, that 10,000 labora
tory tests were made last year in
animal disease cases; that 10,681
blueprints were mailed to farmers
during the last two years detailing
the construction cf better farm
buildings; and that about 2,500,000
trees have been d'stributed by the
college and the Nebraska National
forest during the past five years.
Other subjects are given equal

PLAY ORGANIZATIONS
Wisconsin Dramatic Group
Honors Players For
Original Efforts.
The third annual dramatic fes
tival week of the Wisconsin Dra
matic Uuild, concluded here re
cently, was the most successful
yet held, according to Miss Ethel
T. Rockwell, of the University of
Wisconsin extension division, who
directed the event. In the higher
quality of plays entered by all
groups and a fine excellence of
production achieved in the major
ity of plays presented, the charac
ter of the week's work was de
clared to be outstanding.
Eleven community groups were
e-iven a-uild awards: Allenville,
Antigo, Baraboo, Beaver Dam,
Dane county, Honey Creek, Janes
ville, Madison, Milwaukee, Platte-
ville, and Sheboygan.
Officers of the guild were re
elected, as follows: President Mrs.
Laura Sherry, Milwaukee; vice
president Fred Buerkl, Kohler;
secretary-treasurer, Miss Ethel
Rockwell, Madison; honorary pres
ident Mrs. Zona Gale Breese,
Portage.
Original Plays Effective.
The outstanding evening of the
week was when a bill of one-act
original plays was given. Four
original plays were produced two
by rural and two by urban groups,
climaxed by the presentation of
Sari Szekely's Hungarian drama,
"A Just Claim," by the Drama
League of Milwaukee. Mrs. Szek
ely played one of the leading roles.
Miss Gretchen Colnik, as Rozi,
gave a radiant interpretation to
the leading part. Other members
of the cast were Joseph I. Rice,
Maurice Grant, and Robet Freldel.
Mrs. Carl Felton's farce com
ery, "This Way Out," carried off
first honors in production of an
original play by rural groups. The

C. Woody, Mrs. Dorothy Herling,
and George MacLean.
The Rev. H. E Mansfield, Allen
ville, won first place In writing the
beat original play, "Vendue," and
was awarded a hand carved me
dallion by the Blue Shield of the
Wisconsin Country Life club.
The fourth play, "Creating an
Atmosphere," did not compete
with "A Just Claim," since it
could not be interpreted as being
strictly original. The play was
adapted by Mrs. Ina Barnes, Madi
son, from the $2,500 prize short
story in the Pictorial Review con
test for 1930. Mrs. Barnes and
its original author. Miss Mary
Ellen Chase, of Smith college, are
planning to arrange for the pity's
publication.

Simpler Plot.
One must admit that simplicity
is a work of art. However, in the
atrical plots it is not so good. Per
haps it is lack of talent on the
part of the author, or lack of ini
tiative on the part of the producer,
but alas it Is always the same old
thing, a big wedding followed by
a successful honeymoon, then an
other woman ,a quarrel, and in
the end all live happily ever after.

in a non-compulsory course offered
to freshmen at the University of
California, Los Angeles branch.
Several hundred students who
are beginning university careers
have enrolled in the course, which
offers no academic credit but is
believed to pay other dividends of
greater importance and signifi
cance. Five purposes of the spe
cial study are listed in an official
circular distributed to freshmen.
They are: to bring the new stu
dents together in small informal
groups to show the student that
the university is interested in him
as an individual; to help the stu
dent find his place in academic
and social activities; to aid him in
the chftice of a career; and to ac
quainting him with some aspects
of the major world problems.
The movement began more than
a year ago when members of the
faculty and of the Prytanean so
ciety, junior and senior honorary
sorority, began to experiment with
a type of work known as freshman
discussions, the purpose of which
was to introduce the student to
