For An 'L'
Shaped Hiiildin.
' Two campus sites have been unofficially
designated as logically the ideal location for
the Student I'liion building. Due is the corner
of Nth and K sis., which would necessitate Ihc
razing of .Kllcn Smith hall to make way for
the new .structure; the other is the present lo
cation of the tennis courts.
Plans call now for an "K" shaped build
in ir. but the Student Council and student body
generally have expressed disapproval with lliis
.form in favor of an architectural "L". The
reason for the popularity of the "L" structure
is its adaptability to expansion and change, for
,vhich the "I"' docs not provide. The present
plans call for a completely finished building.
Student, sentiment is to the effect that a
$400,000 building will fail to meet the needs
of the future, and care should be taken now to
see that room for expansion is provided.
i.
It would be difficult to add a theater, lec
ture hall, or an office ell to the building as now
planned. The "K" structure is a unit within
itself, and -would be added lo only at the ex
pense of its architectural beauty and symmet
ry. -A it on the other hand", can be added
to indefinitely without loss of beaut v.
j
A set of architectural plans have been
drawn up for the "Ji" as well as "K" build
ing. The chief objection to them is that the
former would cost a hit more per cubic foot in
construction than the latter. This cost not
withstanding, the Student 1'nion building must
be built for the future. It cannot be completed
jiow soon it would become obsolete and in
capable of housinir all the student activities.
An expanding university, as Ibis is, must pre
pare now with an eye to the future. I'or Ibis
reason, the Daily Xcbraskan believes the "J."
shaped building better suited to the student
need and student demand, and should be
adopted by ihe board of regents as final archi
tectural design.
'' The Kllcn Smith corner is not adapted lo
an "IY' shaped building. Teachers college and
the proposed new library conflict with it. Kx
pansion would be retarded, no matter the
shape, for sufficient room is lacking. The ten
nis court site, with a wide expanse facing the
mall, can accommodate any expansion which
might be proposed. Also, it is in the center of
the campus, the hub of student activity, and
specially accessible from every corner of the
caiipus.
a
j The Student I'ninii building is practically
a certainty. Only acceptance of the official
papers and providing for the university's share
of the funds by the board of regents remains
before it will become a reality. Then it will be
dedicated to the students of the University
of Nebraska. Jn the interests of their activi
ties, and their achievements; thru their efforts,
if will be erected. Their sentiment will be con
sidered first when a permanent site for the
building is chosen. Their sentiment is in favor
of an "L" shaped located where the tennis
courts now-are. Thcro ate arguments for Kllcn
Smith corner, of course. Very valid argu-
Wc; Wan I a Bookstore
Commission of Control!
Objection to Ihe present setup of the Slu
dent Itookslori as crystallized in the general
fall election when all but 70 of over 1,700 stu
dents voted in favor of a bookstore commis
sion of control, on which the student body
would be represented.
The campus evidently finds disfavor with
the current practices, and despite the findings
oT the Student Council bookstore, committee,
which reported no flagrant breaches of inter
est, would like to remove control from the ad
ministration lo a popular commission.
Complaints of uiisopcrut ion have been cur
rent on the campus all fall. Nothing open and
tangible, just an undercurrent of popular dis
favor. Students felt, and are still feeling, that
Iheir interests are not being served to best ad
vantage, and that little of value has been
gained from the . bookstore. To determine
popular sentiment, the Student Council con
ducted its questionnaire. Over l,o.r0 students
voted in favor of student representation on a
bookstore board of control.
Now that the Student Council has sounded
Ihe campus, and gotten its reading, it must
take action. Obviously, the bookstore must be
separated from administration centralized con
trol, as have been athletics and student publi
cations. A governing board, composed of uni
versity administrators and students, must be
selected. The students may be elected popu
larly, or, better yet, elected by or appointed by
the Student Council. Administration and fac
ulty members can be chosen by the university
senate or appointed, as the case may be.
c
This commission must have
charge over all the activities of the
It must determine policy, and see
student interests arc safeguarded
shunted to the background.
The Student Council must draw up a plan
of operation and submit it to the board of re
gents, for the regents chartered the bookstore.
Jf their approval is given, and the Nebraskan
believes that it must be given in the face of
such overwhelming campus opinion, the com
mission must be appointed immediately and
begin its work before the second semester gets
under way.

The Student Council fought for the book
store in the hope of realizing a student need
that was long apparent. From all evidences,
that need is not being satisfactorily met by the
present setup. The bookstore has become not
a student enterprise, but another agency of the
university administration. Jt is not fulfilling
its purpose, nor is it representative of the
ideals of its founders.
Knough talk lias been wafted about the
campus. Action is necessary now. With al
most unanimous campus opinion back of it, the
Student Council need not hesitate to draw up
its plans, and demand a bookstore board of
control with student representation.

TO THE EDITOR:
Captioned in a two column political ail
in the last two Nebraskans has been the demo
cratic exhortation to the students to "recall
the NVA." Decency impclls the criticism. I
applaud any system which will finance needy
students in their educational bailie, but to per
vert such help lo the status of a lever by which
an undeserving administration attempts to pry
a few votes from indigenous students based on
the implication of a debt stinks of vole buying.
The same system is used for the relief rolls.
DuPont may have given several hundred
thousand to the republican campaign fund. Lui
he did it honestly and openly, even Iho ht
knew the democratic howl would be heard
across the nation. At least he could never be
accused of descending to the vulturous level
of preying on the human needs of stark pov
erty as a means to a political end. The evi
dence of threats against those who are on re
lief rolls by political shysters are clear and
incontroverted. Vote democratic or walk the
streets hungry. Such a system serves to give
the party a 4 billion dollar campaign fund
thru the relief moneys. Decency revolts at
such a machination. Frank E. Landis.
