Frantz, associate professor of English at the university, will go to California this fall to begin his work as the International Re search Fellow of the library for the year 1936-37. The library, noted for being one of the greatest libraries in the country, is located in San Marino, Calif.

CONSIDERS AID OF STATE1VERSITY Mill Levy Suggested as Way Of Getting Additional Needed Buildings. Financial aid for the University of Nebraska will be among the important issues to be considered by the Lincoln chamber of com merce this year. Subjects to be taken up are those suggested by citizens of Lin coln in response to casual inquiries on the downtown streets. The im provements suggested concerning the university are a mill levy for additional needed buildings, a Stu dent Union building, practice fields for athletics, and the opening of 15th st. from O to R. The collec tors of this information report that none of those suggesting uni versity improvements were stu dens or members of the faculty. Actual plans for developing these projects are left completely to an education committee. This committee detei mines the issues to be included in their program, and submit the program to the board of directors who makes any ad ditions they deem desirable. It then becomes the object of the chan.ber to see that these projects arc fulfilled if at all possible. According to VV. S. Whitten, secretary of the chamber of com merce, all of the suggestions con cerning the university will bo In cluded in this year's program of the educational commitee. "It is really a shame," declared Whitten, "that Lancaster county ha3 to fight for every appropria tion granted the university. It is a state Institution and should be supported with the whole hearted concern of the entire state. Never theless, we are only too glad to aid the university tn every way we can." The plan of opening a street be tween H and O at 15th has already been begun. Two lots of key loca- null iifivc .

STUDENT BUILDING President's Request for Appropriation Gives Encouragement. fresident RoosevlUs proposal that congress appropriate i.o on lion dollars to be given entirely to the works progress administra tion brought the smouldering hopes of a government appropriation for a Student Union building on the campus to a kindling flame. , The president, in a special mes sage io congress, noed that more than 1 billion dollars would be spent out of the treasury in the next fiscal year from prior appro priations, while the budget con tained COO million dollars for vari ous public works and the civilian conservation corps. The gross projected relief out lay, consequently approximated 3.100 billi.on dollars, mis com pared with the president's estimate that relief outlays in the current financial year will amount to 3.0 billion dollars. "The trend of re-employment is upward, but this trend, at its pres ent rae of progress, is inadequate. I propose therefore, that we ask private business to extend its op erations so as to absorb an in creasing number of unemployed. "If the employment gains are substantial enough, no additional appropriation by the next congress for the fiscal year 1937 will be necessary. The ultimate cost of the federal works program will thus be determined by private en terprise. The president said if the tax program were carried thru as he requested, the 1.5 billions work re lief appropriation "would in ef fect provide for the third succes tlve year a reduction in the de ficit." If such proposed replenishment of the works project administra tion is favored by the national leg islators, Nebraska's chances of se curing funds for a Union building from this source become more promising. Application for a grant of $180. 000 of PWA funds was submitted to John Latsenser of Omaha, act ing state director, on F'cb. 3 a. After approval of the application wns given it was forwarded to the proper authorities in Washington. (Continued on Page 3).

Ralph Northrup was the moving spirit behind the new publication in the winter of 1913. He with other journalists in Sigma Delta Chi conceived and published the magazine In its early years. The journalism fraternity for the fol lowing 23 years sponsored and published the Awgwan with but two administration suggested lapses and one year prompted by the laissez faire policy. Northrup first started the hu mor magazine to take the place of the Arrow Head, which was given its walking papers but shortly be fore. According to a 1924 Daily Nebraskan, the Arrow Head was a "high class humor publication" BUYS SEVENTY TEXTS Student Manager States Professors Must Submit Lists. The new University book store is open for business. After a year and a half of negotiation, the university owned and controlled bookshop opened its doors this morning to buy and sell students' used books. About seventy books were bought during the day, according to a report of Charles DeFord, student manager of the store. There were many books offered which could not be bought as the lists of books to be used next se mester are not complete. As the book store is not au thorized to buy any books which will not be utilized in university classes the succeeding semester, all professors should submit their lists as soon as possible. It is be lieved that there will be over four hundred titles of books on the list which wUt designate -what books the store can buy. Eliminates Shortages. "We sincerely hope that this sec ond hand book store, run in con junction with the Regent's store, will eliminate shortages in books which always occur in the fall," declared DeFord. "In past years we have always had to estimate th number of new books to order by guessing at the number of used books that will be available. This will not be necessary in the future as we will havs a pretty close check on the total number of books available for sale." The new book store, located In the basement of Social Sciences building, is open from eight to five every day. Students are urged to take their books to the store in order to get operations function ing normally. WEEK APPOINTMENTS Departmental Chairmen to Arrange Program for Annual Event.

Founder Northrup was promin ent in campus activities. Not alone content with editing the Awgwan, he was also a member of the Cornhusker staff and author of the Kosmet play.
