STUDENTS FIGHT
FOR REVISION OF
BUILDING DESIGN
Union Committee Renews?
Opposition E-Shaped
Structure.
Elated with present victory but
vith a more serious eye cast
toward the future, representatives
of the student body on the Union
committee of the Student Council
planned today to open a final bat
tle to discard tentative architects
plans for the new structure, and
replace them with the proposed
L-shaped Union design.
Although the E-shaped building
passed the preliminary examina- j
tion of the Board of Regents, the .
plans were never officially en
dorsed by the Student Council,
where opposition was immediately I
et up and continued during the ,
"campaign last spring.
Fought as Hard.
Headed by co-chairmen Ted
Bradley and Marylu Petersen, the
1936 Union building has an
nounced its intentions of con
tinuing the efforts to get its O. K.
on final plans. "We've fought as
hard as the rest of them, and
we're the ones who'll have to use
the building, so why not?" queried
Chairman Bradley.
Members of the committee In
clude Bill Marsh, Arnold Levin,
Jane VValcott, Eleanor Clizbe,
George Pipal, Don Boehm, Ray
nor Riggs, Al Mosemen, and Dave
Bernstein, with Ray Ramsay ex
officio member.
Concurring with the Student
Union committee, Jack Fischer,
former Student Council president
and editor of the Nebraskan, de
clared that "as announced, the
plans seemingly disregard the de
sires of the students as expressed
repeatedly by the Student Council.
The tentative plans not only fail
to provide for the much needed
auditorium, but preclude the later
addition of one by providing for
an E-shaped structure to which
additions could not be made with-

One-Fourth of Graduate Classes
Don't Want Degrees; Statistics
Reveal Unusual Enrollment Facts
At variance to popular concep
tion, 25 percent of the students in
Nebraska's graduate college are
not aiming towards advanced de
grees. Of the 282 men and 131
women, 117 are studying advanced
work with no desire for higher
scholastic recognition.
Of the seekers for higher knowl
edge the degree of Master of Arts
is the most sought after as there
are 102 men and 63 women study

SUMMARY OF WHAT
NEBRASKA'S UNION
CAN ACCOMMODATE
Present plans for Nebraska's
student union building provide
for a three story structure of
old Virginia type fac brick laid
in Flemish bond, and Bedford
limestone, designed in classic
Georgian style. The roof will
be of mottled slate, in green,
black, purple and grey colors.
First floor plans call for a
general lounge room, fountain
service room at one end, and
a billiard room off the other.
On the same floor will be a
large Jininj room and ballroom,
service room, women's lounge,
faculty lounge, and offices for
the alumni secretariat and
union building force. v
Basement floor will provide
checking room for dances,
toilets, student bookstore, serv
ice rooms, kitchen, and student
publications offices.
Second floor has a main
lounge, ballroom, library and
reading room, student activity
offices and meeting rooms.
Third floor consists entirely
of student organization offices
and meeting rooms, assigned
according to the requirements
of the various activities.

ences hold a stronger fascination
for men than for women since in
the group striving for a Master of
Science degree, the women are
outnumbered by 58 to 5. Even
more limited are the advance stu
dents studying engineering. In
this division there are no women
and only three men.
Not surprising is the fact that
the largest number of advanced
students studying a single course
are following the line of educa
tion. In the various divisions of
this subject there are 47 planning
for one of the higher degrees.

Ramsay One of Leaders of
Campaign Started Over
Six Years Ago.
Opening a campaign that was
to continue six years before the
end was realized, the initial at
tack for a student union build
ing was launched in 1930 under
the direction of Ray Ramsay,
alumni secretary, and Oscar Nor
ling, editor of the Nebraska
Alumnus. This cherished dream
of students and faculty alike has
lasted through years of depression
and overwhelming difficulties.
The enthusiasm wanes, only to
wax again in a more fiery spirit
and with more definite plans.
The first organized activity to
ward this project was taken by
the Alumni Council, Friday, June
6, 1930. The matter of the stu
dent union was discussed before
group and referred to a commit
tee to be appointed by the incom
ing president for reports on their
findings at the next meeting. A
student group was established to
further the idea, and the Nebras
ka Alumnus started a series of
articles about union buildings

"The announcement that
President Roosevelt has ap
proved an allotment of a
grant for $180,000 for the
Student Union Activities
building at the University of
Nebraska is a cause for great
jubilation on this campus.
It is the reasonable expec
tation that this building will
become a cohesive force
which will bring all students
of the University together
on common ground, develop
ing a spirit of loyalty, re
spect, and love for the Uni
versity on the part of the
students, making each vitally
conscious of his membership
in the University. The need
for such a building at Ne
braska has long been acute.
"The contemplated build
ing will cost $400,000 ex
clusive of the furnishings.
The alumni association of
fered to aid in financig the
furnishings.
"In its presentation of the
desirability of this project be

the University has received
the assistance of every mem

any invidious comparison,
however, special acknowledge
ments are due to Senators

With three untied political fao

Ray Ramsay, secretary of the

the movement in February, when
he met with the senior class and
presented to them the advantages
that other schools were reaping
from such a building. A few days

Director John Latenser, jr., in a
long distance telephone interview

"No restrictions will be placed
on the university on the propor

rials and labor is divided," he re

time limit for starting work on the

When asked the flat question on
"in just what time the ground

he stated "That is hard to say. It
depends very much on how quick-,

the required papers." .1.
