TWO THE DXILY NEB1USKAN SUNDAY, NOVEMBER , 1936 dDpeBu MfaoindU&y -o IPIIayeii SHnw INSPECTING BODY MP ED WITH OUTSTATE UNIONS Chancellor Finds Buildings Increase in Use After Construction. Apparent growth in importance of the Student Union Buildings on other campuses and the undoubted desirability of such a structure at the university are Chancellor Ed gar A. Burnett's impressions after an investigatory tour to Iowa State College, Iowa university, and the University of Wisconsin. Speaking of the unions visited on the trip, completed last night, Chancellor Burnett stilted: "It is Apparent that the uses of the Stu dent Union Buildings in these in stitutions have grown materially since they were built. They have become irreplaceable in student life and campus affairs. Our commit tee collected a good deal of val uable information which will help to mnlw our Union a success." Ac companying the chancellor on the four day journey were Prof. L. K. Smith, L. E. Gunderson, L. F. Seaton; Mi.ss Martha Parks, Re gents Thompson and Stokes, Miss Amanda Heppner, Miss Marylu Petersen, Architect Walter Wilson and Arnold Levin. "It is evident that our building must conform in shape and inter nal features to the usages which we intend for it," stated Levin, st in lent council president. "The unions we visited were so planned and so operated. Emphasizing' the general na tures of the three unions visited. Levin continued that "the most outstanding common feature was the clublike atmosphere, and the apparent attempts to make the unions not only a centralized place for student activities, but also to make it a place for informal, cul tural education." Officials Say Library Plans Will Include Air-Conditioning, If and When Building Heroines Kealily B a use abnormal temperatures cause books to deteriorate more rapidly, university officials are considering air-conditioning the new library building, if and when .such a structure is made possible. Prof. A. A. Luebs, of the me chanical engineering department, was made a member of the library committee because of bis knowl edge of the subject. Says Professor Buebs: "Ordi nary temperatures have, little ef fect on the preservation of books. A temperature over 10OF, com bined with low relative humidity, may cause the book material to become brittle, while a tempera ture much below freezing may cause permanent deterioration of the glue in the binding. The rela tive humidity should be main tained between 40 and 70 percent, allho these limits need not hold lor short periods of time. Low Humidity Destructive. If the relative humidity gets much below 40 percent, first the glue and then the paper will tend lo become brittle which will not cause any pel rnaiicnt damage un less the book is used while in this condition, as a subsequent increase in humidity will bring the nut lerals back to their normal con dition. It the relative humidity gets atiove hi) percent, the growth of miiilcw may be expected. C.is Deteriorates Books. "One of the principal agents of destruction and deterioration of paper and books in libraries is Hiilphur dioxiode gas in the air. If air containing sulphur dioxide is allowed to come in contact with cellulose, the principal constituent of paper, sulphuric acid is formed on the surface. This acid is not volatile at ordinary temperatures and therefore accumulates thru out the life of the paper.
