Support for the
Union Building.
ftACZ again the Student Union building issue has
been revived on the campus. After several
months of arduous and painstaking work a joint
committee has brought forth a plan deserving of
100 percent faculty and student consideration and
support.
For some years the Union was very much a live
issue on the campus. Plana and campaigns were
mapped, but the depression put a damper on all
projects. Since then, leaders interested in the estab
lishment of a Union have bided their time until cir
cumstances seemed auspicious for a revival.
When a campaign was started in 1931 Elmont
Walte, editor-in-chief of the Daily Netra3kan, pre
pared the case for the project in the following man
ner: PRO
"A center for all student activities."
A unit for the development of real student
spirit"
"A suitable place for university convoca
tions and conferences."
"A place for all students to lounge, loaf, or
study In their spare moments between classes."
"A large, well furnished theater and audi
torium." "An adequate building for university
dances and social events."
"Faculty club rooms."
"Clean, up-to-date cafeteria and dining
rooms for banquets, dinners, and other such
meetings."
"Student publications offices."
"Alumni meeting place."
CON
"An unshakable indifference."
rpH E same arguments, both pro and con, hold true
at the present time. There is a recognized and
crying need for every one of the facilities listed un
der the advanta i of a Union building. Under pres
ent conditions student activities are scattered all
over the campus, some stuck in this building and
some In another. There is no coordination of student
activities. There Is no basis on which to build stu
dent spirit The campus is completely decentralized.
There are no adequate lounging or meeting
places on the campus unless one cares to pay for the
privilege of sitting in a booth. There are no ade
quate facilities for social affairs unless one wishes
to use the barn on Vine street or pay a tax to hotel
managers. Temple theater, as a place for dramat
ics or for convocations, does not measure up to the
requirements.
The faculty, like the student body, is without
adequate facilities for their little get-togethers.
Their departmental meetings are shoved off into
some classroom. They have no club rooms to which
they can go for recreation and relaxation during the
Oay. Neither have the alumni any place upon which
to converge on their return to the campus. They
wander about the grounds like a bunch of lost sheep,
vainly seeking some familiar face or landmark.
Last, but not least, the student publications
would be moved out of the cockroach and mice in
fested cellars of University hall. Facilities for the
three major publications at the present t.'me are
fearfully lacking.
The utility of a Union building is clearly shown
by a statement in the Oklahoma university notes in
"The Bulletin" of The Association of College Unions:
"The Oklahoma Union, squarely in the mid
dle of the University of Oklahoma campus, has
truly become the hub around which the student
body and faculty gravitates.
"That the Oklahoma Union is fulfilling Us
purpose as the center of campus activities was
proved recently when student counters sat at
the Union entrances for a day and tabulated the
number of persona entering the building.
"The count showed that 6,563 persons en
tered the building between 7 a. m. and 8 p. m.,
an average of some 500 persons per hour. The
Oklahoma student body numbers 5,600 students."
A RGUMENTS in favor of the Union are seemingly
Irrefutable, but they have been defeated before
by that one little consideration listed under CON.
Indifference, of course, has not refuted the argu
ments pro, but has only overcome them by a dead
end immovable weight.
Students now must ask themselves if they are
going to let that joker again cheat them out of
adequate facilities for campus activities. The typi
cal statement made by students in talking of this
project is likely to be, "Why get up and sweat about
it ? It's been tried before and nothing has ever been
done." This attitude has been encountered time and
time again on this campus. The senior committee
and the book store committee have met it this year.
Such feeling, however, must be eliminated. Ne
braska congressmen have promised their aid in se'
curing funds from the work-relief appropriation.
The Board of Regents and the chancellor have ap
proved the plans. Legal difficulties have been ironed
out. The fate of the plan now rests with the state
planning board and the student body.
Will the student body again contribute to
the loss of a Union building thru indifference
and unwillingness to get up and shout about the
matter; or will it aid the cause by indicating
whole hearted support? WHAT IS IT GOING
TO DO?
An Able
Man.
JR. Robert A. Millikan tonight will round out the
official university convocation series for the
year. Exceptionally able speakers have been pre
sented at the other three events and tonight's lec
turer will be no exception.
Internationally famous as a scientist, Dr. Milli
kan has doctor's degrees from some twenty univer
sities and colleges. He has been awarded many
medals for outstanding work. He has received the
Nobel prize and the Comstock prize from the Na
tional Academy, and is a chevalier in the Legion of
Honor of France. Much of his recent work has been
in connection with the as yet little known cosmic
rays.
In addition to his purely scientific work, Dr.
Millikan has become well known as a speaker. The
university has brought a great man. Students will
find it well worth their while to attend the convo
cation in the coliseum tonight.
Hearst
The Saviour.
fjHE one and only inimitable William Randolph
Hearst, self-appointed saviour of the United
States from communism and internationalism, is
probably feeling right fine this week. Splashed all
over the front pages of his newspapers is a story
telling how the great Sage of San Simeon is pic
tured by a Fiench newspaper as being one of the
agencies that will operate to keep the United States
out of another European war.
Instead of hiding his head in shame, Hearst is
taking great pride in announcing to the world that
he helped keep the United States out of the World
Court: that he is agitating for higher walls of na
tionalism than now exist; and that he is after a
larger army, navy, and air force for this country.
Distrust among nations has always been the"
main motivating force in bringing on conflicts. This
mutual distrust has been built up by the spirit of na
tionalism which traditionally has permeated each
state. There hs been no real international amity,
nor has there been any attempt until recently to es
tablish that spirit. Nations have not understood one
another, nor have they cared much about it.
But when there appeared a movement for bet
ter International understanding Mr. Hearst prompt
ly stepped into the arena and started dealing out
punches right and left. Nobody was going to get
this grand and glorious United States mixed up with
any bunch of furriners. No, sir, by grab! To fur
ther emphasize his point Hearst feels it is neces
sary for the United States to enter into the good
clean fun of an armament race and under the guise
of a patriotic desire to build up the national defenses
he shouts for more men and guns.
Thus, Hearst is doing everything he possibly
can to increase that distrust among nations. Inter
national amity can go hang. He seems to feel that
boys will be boys and the only way to keep them
from each other's throat is to Isolate them in sepa
rate rooms. He has no desire to teach them man
ners and how to get along with one another. And
he feels most happy If he can keep little United
State in his own back yard, even if the child does
divert himself by making faces at the neighbor's
kids.
'PAGING THE
SMART COED
This whimsical young lady April
came visiting the other duy, and
It seem she says that we must
dreaa to suit her. However, this
month brines so many new com
elements of the season, that it
promises to be exciting to please
thU sew Mlsa.
Here are some five star extras!
Skirt lengths static: 11-12 Inches
off the floor shorter, you know!
Hose: More sheer because of
shorter skirts. Choose them in un
usual shades, not just beige.
Tale of taffeta: Everywhere, on
most everything! For instance, a
dark blue beret with a vizor brim
plastered down over one eye; a
loose black coat to be worn over
light spring prints; a brown and
white checked jacket; navy blue
taffeta, suits, or any one of a hun
dred perky blouses.
Hunches: That white pique hats
will be everywhere next month,
hair will be freer, that huge flat
hats of white or black or navy
straw will go with prints.
New ahort gloves: Wear one
button fabric gloves with short
puffed ftleeved dresses, but don't
try them with elegant clothes or
worldly prints meant to be touched
up with doeskin wrinkled at the
wrists.
Going out: Big cat's whisker
bows little trim touches of white
are smarter) ; the dreadful coiffure
swirled tight and up Into a row of
set curls.
Gold jewelry: Yes, certainly, but
only the. simple massive pieces in
your family coffers, but if you're
careful, you can wear the modern
gold jewelry mcde to go with mod
em dress.
Blouses: Starched white band
kerchief linen, pleated like a man's
lrenn shirt, but not too masculine
because of a sweet frill; a natural
chamois leather worn with a tweed
Hint; bright red silk with gray
flannel; navy and white striped
under brlgc; dull dusty maroon
pink with gray, or a crinkled red
and white cotton with navy. Per
haps even prettier than these,
would be a pale pink cross-bar or
gandie, pleated and smocked and
trimmed with crystal buttons.
Flowers: In sweet, neat clusters,
flowers are just too cheery to re
sist. Clear cellophane daisies are
lovely on a white sailor. Wreathe
flowers on the neckline of your
new pastel colored dress, and you'll
blossom like April fields.
Last bit o' advice: Wear things
to make the neckline neater, the
head look smaller, the appearance
fresher, the spirits younger, but be
sure you don't do anything you
don't want to do. You can get by
with It this season!
Fashionably yours,
ELEANOR.
ARCHITECTS 10 ENTER
Plan Large Scale Model in
Campus Studio for
Celebration.
After an absence of several
years from the activities of Engi
neers' week, the Department of
Architecture will this year display
an exhibit in the Campus Studio.
Advance plans indicate that the
excellent lighting facilities of the

exhibit.
The entire display will be cen
tered about a large scale model of
an architectural problem. Con
structed on different planes and
liKhted by means of indirect light
ing, the effect will be three dimen
sional. A small scale model of a modern
house will be placed in the center
of the studio. The major part of
the exhibit will conaist of repre
sentative architectura problems
and will include: House plans with
full size details, archeological and
analitique problems, freehand
sketches executed in pen, pencil
and charjcal, lettering plates, in
terior and advanced design prob
lems and monotone renderings of
the Creek and Roman Orders.

MARYLAND CCC ADDS
DRAMATICS, DANCING
By folic Nrwa Bervlf.
BALTIMORE. Md. Maryland
civilian conservation corps workers
are scheduled to "come out of the
woods" this week. Dramatics and
dancing have been merger with the
wood-chopping duties of the youth
organization, according to reports
from that state.
Under an educational plan in
augurated at the University of
Maryland, university coeds will en
deavor to teach the CCC youths
how to dance the newest steps and
how to act.
In addition to dramatics and
dancing, classes have been ar
ranged for about 350 CCC workers
in most of the college courses, it is
reported. Classes will be conducted
at night for the relief corps.
CHANTS
BY CHANCE.
Mystery, murder and humor, a
sure-fire combination In theater
entertainment concocted by two of
the ablest of today's dramatists,
George Kaufman and Alexander
Woollcott, combined with a "top"
cast of University Players, brings
a brilliant season of Player offer
ings to a climatic close. "The
Dark Tower," which opened at the
Temple last evening for s week's
run found a first night audience
thrilled and baffled as the unusual
events in the Wells family were
disclosed.
The caddish villain returns home
to re-wreck the life of a talented
actress, until Anton Stengel steps
in and commits an ingenius mur
der which not only baffles the po
lice, but members of the family
as well. To reveal more would be
unfair to the Players' patrons who
are not first nighters. The play Is
recommended as good entertain
ment and the cast is evenly
matched in abilities.
"Jessica Wells," the young ac
tress, is portrayed by Elizabeth
Betzer, who made her Players de
but last evening. .Fortunately,
Miss eBtzer is a talented young
person and carries off her first
role more than usually well. Her
costumes are smart. One biacK
velvet suit with a large tan fur
collar. Is particularly attractive
Other gowns are a lavender long-
sleeved crocheted rormai, witn
which she wears a white ermine
jacket. As the middle aged aunt,
Martha Tempie," veronica viu-
nave, a veteran piayer, is seen in
her last role. She is attired in
dark, subdued clothes, and carries
off her middle-aged role expertly.
"Daphne Martin," the flippant
young actress, is played by Mar
garet Straub. She suits the role to
a T and incidentally wears a chic
little yellow suit with fox fur
shoulders, a nobby little hat, and
a silver metallic iormai. as ine
old family servant. "Ilattie," Molly
Carpenter, another old standby of
the Players, is superb. Miss Swift
is the stenographer.
Armand Hunter does excellently
in his last role of "Sterling
Vance," the villainous husband of
"Jessica Wells." Harold Sumption
shares honors with Hunter, as
Damon Wells," Jessica's brother.
Clare Wolf plays the part of the
young playwright, "Barry Jones."
Roy Squires is "Dr. Kenaan;"
Melvin Fielder is "Ben Weston,"
a young actor and Jessica's lover;
"Max Sarnoff," played by Anton
Stengel; Sidney Baker a taxi
driver; Dwight Perkins, a bell
boy; and "William Curtiss," the
comical police inspector, is Era
Lown.
The play is in three acts, the
first and last acts taking place in
the home of "Martha Temple."
This home is a brown stone front
in the 1850 period. It has been
the property of a theatrical fam
ily for years, and the interior of
the home is arranged in a theat
rical fashion. On one wall hangs
a picture of the "Jolly Cavalier."
Over the stairway Is a picture of
the old father, who once played
the role of Cardinal Richlieu. His
portrait is in the red costume of
the cardinal. On the mantle In a
vase are the "Cardinal's" hat and
gloves he wore In the play. Stained
glass windows are at the back of
the set, and a leather davenport,
tall carved chair and other old
carved furniture complete the fur
nishings. Many of the props in
this show have been used in pre
ceding plays. The second scene
of the second act is the interior
of a living room in a suite on the
thirty-filth floor of the Waldorf
hotel. It is in dark brown with
silver trim, with standard hotel
furnishings.
Harriet Leeson was prop mis
tress, assisted by Don Buell, Por
tia Boynton, Irene Barry and
Mary Dean. The stage crew con
sisted of Paul Bogen, Delford
Brummer and Charles Fair. Miss
Swift prompted and Don Frledly
designed the sets. Pete 8umptlon
directed the show, which was su
pervised by Miss H. Alice Howell,
head of the dramatics department.
