FACULTY LIBKAKIAN GOES TO NEW POS1 Miss Mabel Harris, for eleven years librarian at Teachers' col lege, leaves September 1 to be come associate librarian of Con necticut College for Women, New London, Conn. Nightgowns Unpopular as Members " Of Jury Choose Sleeping Apparel What kind of sleeping apparel should one wear in a jury room, in which thirteen men and women are locked for three days and nights? A pale cornflower blue negligee fashioned of shimmering lutrious satin and trimmed in blue maribou may sound a bit gaudy but when worn by a smart looking society matron it strikes the fancy of the tired business man. Pink satin lounging pajamas trimmed in ecru lace were the choice of a pretty southern bride while another young thing chose a complete black outfit of Chinese origin with oriental dragons em broidered in heavy gold. A fashionable young man about town wears over bis suit of blue pajamas a black wool robe trimmed in royal blue. The mate rial, of course, is imported. At least these are the outfits which should be worn if one would follow the styles as will be worn by members of the Jury in the comedy, "Ladies of the Jury," wnicn is to be presented at 8 o'clock tomoirow evening in the Temple theater. University of Nebraska students will have their own swimming pool this fall and will pay as they swim. This move was assured by 3Ction of the board of regents to day when thy approved an in crease of the student health fee from one dollar to two dollars per semester, effective text fall. Jhe increased revenue will be used to pay for the pool. The added charge will bring in an annual income of about $12,000 per vear, it is estimated by Uni versity officials, which will enable the student body to pay for the pool within tbree years, action of the board having placed the cost not to exceed $35,000. The com pleted pool will be comparable with the pools found in other mid die western universities, state those familiar with the scheme. The 50 foot by 115 foot room in the basement of the coliseum, di rectly beneath the large stage, will be used for the pool, original coli seum plans having called for that improvement at some time in the future. The pool itself will be 35 feet by 75 feet, with a water level ranging from 10 feet at the west end to three and one-half fe-n at the east end. A runway, eleven incbes above the surface of the water, will extend entirely around the pool. At the north side an ! at the west end this walk will be five feet wide, while at the south and east sides there will be room for bleachers. A tower and diving board will be erected at the west end, or deep end, of the pool. fhere will be a clearance of 20 feet between the ceiling and the water level, according to present plans. The pool itself and tbc floor! area will be surfaced thruout with tile, according to th plans. The water will be kept circulating con tinuously thru filters, in accord ance with modern pool construe tion. Provision will also be made for heating the water. The existing men's locker room and showers in the building will be utilized for the pool, while an entirely new set of locker rooms ana showers for women will be developed in the northeast corner of the basement. Physical educa tion heads at the University have expressed their approval of the proposed pool, which will fill a much expressed need for the stu dent body as well as providing swimming facilities on the cam pus. In the past swimming instruc tion has been given in a downtown pool. Actual construction work will be started as goon as detailed plana are coi ipleted and contracts let. It is hoped to nave the nool eady for use during the first w- mester. Pallbearirif Proven Profitable Job to Students in School FUN FROLIC WILL BE AT COLISEUM FRIDAY Committee Again Able to Get Large Floor for Student Mixer-Dance. Varying the recreational pro gram from picnics to dancing again, the Student Executive com mittee has scheduled another all university mixer, to be held Friday evening in the university coliseum. The affair will begin at 9 o'clock with the summer student orches tra furnishing the music. A new program of entertainment, under the direction of Wendell Dodd, will be given during intermission. This session marks the first in stance in summer school history where the coliseum has been used for student dances. In past years the armory has always been the scene of such parties. This term, as an experiment, the Student Executive committee obtained use of the coliseum. At the two func tions which have been held there the attendance has merited its use for the coming week-end's party. Highly suitable is the coliseum for such affairs. Not only has its ventilating system kept the tem perature at a comfortable level, but also the floor space has made dancing enjoyable. The committee reports that it hopes for the con ( Continued on Page 2.)

UNIVERSITY TO FOLLOW RETRENCHMENT POLICY FOR NEXTJWO YEARS Five Percent Cut Forces Many Changes; Grads and Instructors Hit. New Budget Is $3,692,298; Chairmanships Cannot Be Filled. Owing to the recent 5 per cent cut in maintenance appropriations, the University of Nebraska has embarked upon a policy of re trenchment for the next two years, it was announced Friday by Chan cellor E. A. Burnett following a meeting of the board of regents. Adoption of a budget for the com ing year was one item of business on the boaid docket. Under the approved budget, the total maintenance expense of the University of Nebraska for 1931- 32 will be $3,692,298.65. Of this total, $2,093,209.67 will come from taxation sources, $1,304, 113.53 from cash funds, and $291,975.45 from federal funds. It has been decided, the chan cellor announced, owing to the shortage of money, to engage no chairman tor the department ot bacteriology and pathology, this work being placed for the next year under the direction of the chairman of the department of zoology. Similarly, no one will be engaged at present to take the chairmanship of the department or classics, this being placed under the chairman of the department of history. Prof. C H. Oldfathcr. chairman of the department of history, will be acting chairman ot the department of classics, and Prof. Ft. H. Wolcott, chairman of the department of zoology, will be acting chairman of the (iepartment of bacteriology. For an important position ou the law faculty a young man Iwo years out of Law Col'ege ha3 been engaged, he stated, although the securing of a well known leather for this work was contempl-Ued some it me ago. The salary asked was entirely prohibitive in view of the financial situation. No new in structors are being engaged to take care of the overload in sev eral departments, and it will be fo'ind necessary next year to dis pense with the services of some of those now engaged, the chan cellor announced. All such will be given a year s notice, since it is now too late in the year to nmk'i other arrangements. Other retrenchments as an nounced by Chancellor Burnett in clude: Elimination for the biennium of all betterment of equipment in va rious departments of the Univer sity. Elimination of all possible gta-J-uate assistants. Elimination of all betterments (Continued on Page 2.) Bancroft Teachers Have Pupils Who Don't Want to Go Home After School bnibAuu:-iue college man going into business has learned from the bottom, if sucb jobs as window washing, acting as chauf feurs and policemen, and dishwasb ing can be designated as starting point on the road to millions. inui was revealed in a survey made by the vocational guidance bureau of the University of Chi cago which during the past year o wamea employment for some 800 students on the campus. One of the most profitable jobs, the men students discovered, was that of being a pallbearer. A good luneral, one that had to go to some out lying cemetery, invariably paid $5. The average woman received from 60 cents to $1 per hour, whereas the average man seldom got more than SO cenU an hour. "Children, please go home now, Yes, it was actually a teacher coaxing her children to go home an hour after dismissal, liars? No, it all took place over at Ban croft school. No wonder! They are doing such exciting things as building airplanes aad preparing to broadcast. The pupils in the third grade for the summer session with their teacher, Miss Mildred Honan, critic teacher, teachers college, Kansas City, Mo., are going to tell about their study of transporta tion over KFAB Thursday, July 16, between 9:30 and 10:00. It all started with a visit to the airport and another to the radio station. Now their room shows a plane under construction and Is decorated with posters showing transportation by air, land, and water; travel booklets; historical charts of Indian, pioneer, and mod ern modes of travel; art hangings with ship designs, and many other fascinating things. Another inter esting pari of their study was the tracing of the route of the Winnie Mae as revealed in their Current Events. In ber reply to letters which the children wrote telling of their work, Miss Clara Wilson told of her classes in California. She men tioned especially a Chinese theater which they have there and sent tha third graders a program printed ! that language. Of course these folks arc real I v studying the usual third ertula subjects, but they are so cleverly correlated around the eeneral topic of transportation, they art learning many other things, too. and are enjoying it.
