But only yes terday, when some small voice pro moted our prowling about the Av ery edifice, did our trusting soul find itself confronted with an in evitable conclusion. We wandered from basement to top story of the building, from the dusty show case to dustier, from general to organic to analytical to physical chemistry labs, seeking an unknown something. There were exhibits on metals, al loys, and high explosives. ("Do Not Jar"), rubber, fantastic shaped beakers and tubes, dyes, neon tubing, the steps in rayon manufacture, and a case contain ing "one of the most complete col' lections of gas burners in the world." These we peered at, un comprehending. We stared at the measunngs and bubblings r.nd burnings in the labs, caught fleeting glimpses of storerooms presided over by no-nonsense-y looking men on stools at the very mouth of the apertures. We read the charter of Phi Rho Upsilon, as of 1899. ami the fra ternity's freshman cup recipients: the mystery was unsolved. Then at last our nostrils gave us the clue; the atmosphere, changing in flavor from floor to floor but ever all pervading, relentlessly stomach turning. Then the similarity to this doubtful fragrance and the Meyer writings strurk us. It was subtle, but we got it. It's something in the air. Vp Deny It. Dr. Stuff, whose impending re tirement is much regretted in all quarters, accuses us of having two great faculty crushes. Sir, it's the blackest of fibs: we like ALL the boys. .!! A Sissy. We beat even stocky and smil ing Bill Pfeiff over to the prac tice field yesterday afternoon. We found it humbling to wander across the greyed greensward of the south practice ground, and contemplate the gridiron heroes of the past, the beefy berth seekers of the present. No scene of tri umph or conflict is ever vacant it is crowded with the spirits of those who there valiantly strove. The turf perforated with cleat holes, tackling dummies standing or laying in an absurd huddle, the hanging tackle dummies swinging slightly in the breeze, were sur rounded by hordes of wraiths of players. They were friendly ghosts. But we skittered off the field as the practice hour approached: we're scared of ferocious brawn in the flesh. I'liflimoliile EoliH'v. There is a growing swarm of fine and fancy student cars. Lus cious buggies that make the auto motive minded pop as to eyes and water as to mouth abound these days. Those of us in the great army of the have-nots" covet and yearn our heathen hearts away. Rut when all's said and done the form of locomotion that would probably be the most fun would be one of those scooter-motorcycle af fairs. We wanna redal our own pushbike. TOHOLI IN ARMORY TONIGHT Unaffiliated Ag Students Make Arrangements for Mixer. Barbs on the campus will again attend an hour dance in the Ar mory floor tonight, from 7:30 until 9:30. Dancers, accustomed to the Friday night barb hour dances, are invited to return and dance with the new unaffiliates who will come tonight. Kdith Fillcy anil Lois Llchlitcr, In charge of the barb activities on the Holdrege street campus, are making the arrangements for to night's dance. The Barb A. W. S. board sponsor of the dance, invites Kg college students to "come to town and dance with the city cam pusites." "We hope that the large attend ance will continue for this hour dance," stated Edith Filley, co rhairman, "for we believe that the unaffiliated students are getting a great amount of enjoyment out of the regular dancing parties." Chaperons for the hour dance are Prof, and Mrs. A. L. Frolik and Prof, and Mrs. H. M. Tysdal. Mrs. Luella Williams, dance In structor, will continue teaching steps to those who wish to learn. Admission will be 10 cents. IN TUB INI liniAUV Thirteen studenti and one employee, the mott held at any time this year, were confined to student infirmary Thursday. Most of the cases were flu.

Approval of Iliiilcliiig Fund Kill Spoils New Hopos for All Nebraska Institutions The University took a new lease on life Wednesday. With its physical foundations sinking beneath it, and its educational standards crumbling; under the strain of over-burdened class schedules, a veritable lifeline was thrown to the floundering school by the unicameral appropriations commit tee, which reported out favorably the state institutions build ing levy measure. We have the lifeline within our grasp; our one remaining hope is that the entire unicameral legislature will grab on and pull. To Senator Leland Hall of 3 Adams, who 8 1 t " 1 14 bill, and Senator Frank J. Brady of Atkinson, chairman of the appropriations commit tee, goes much credit for this favorable action. To them, and to every other member of the legislature who has recognized the acute situation confronting the university, we voice the thanks of the -From Thf Journal Inland R.

According to this measure, Legislative Bill No. 334, a one- 1 1 T in 1 C 1 OAft .,F.I,,ntJnn ..fill M-Mrii4a r fllTlH llO uau mm icvj uu i,uuu ciu.wu.. u. " - distributed anions- all state institutions, to provide tne nnanciai basis for Governor Cochran's ten-year building program. Converted into actuality, as was done by Chancellor Bur nett in the committee hearing, passage of the bill, which would provide funds to match federal grants, would mean the con struction of three buildings during the first biennium : A class room building on the city campus to replace either University or Nebraska hall, one on the agricultural campus, and one at the Curtis school of agriculture. During the second biennium, the much-needed library could be constructed; an engineering laboratory could be erected during the third two-year period. Favorable action on the building fund measure by the ap propriations committee was undoubtedly the most promising event in the past decade of university history. It is history characteristically Nebraskan, embodying the pay-as-you-go policy and a faith in a better future. Talk on Life in China ! NINE Y. W.

APPROPRIATIONS BILLS APPROVED BY Building Proposals for the University Pass to Floor of Senate. Two bills, either of which wruld alleviate the crowded conditions of the university at the present time, received the favorable action of the unicameral's appropriations committee and have been reported to the floor of the Nebraska as sembly. Bill 33-1, which would give the university building fund ap proximately $300,645 annually, and oill 531, which embodies the governor's ten year building plan, will both be discussed on the floor within the next several weeks of legislation. Altho slightly modified from the original hill, No 334 provides that 35 percent of the revenue ob tained from an added half mill levy go to the university for its building program. The original bill, presented by Senator Leland Hall of Poseland and others, pro vided that forty percent of the j n,,w rcVeiuie go to the university, i The appropriations committee es tirnated $?,02!M80 would be ob tained every year. These figures were based on the 1936 state val uation. 35 Percent to University. Of the money brought in by the half mill levy, 50 percent would go to charitable institutions under the board of control, 35 percent to the university, and 15 percent to the four state teachers colleges. The bill is in keeping with other Nebraska financial policies, the "pay as you go" plan. Appearing befcre the commit tee hearings and appealing for fa vorable committee action were Chancellor Burnett; Regents, Rob ert Devoe of Lincoln. Frank Tay lor of St. Paul, C. Y. Thompson ot West Point, and Stanley Long of Grand Island: F. J. Schroeder of Curtis and Mrs. E. E. Harti of A'oca. All the university repre sentatives pointed out that the funds were needed as soon as pos sible in order to be able to match federal funds. 'If the 40 percent division were granted." Chancellor Burnett ex plained, "the acute needs would be satisfied in six years. Could Erect Three Buildings. The chancellor explained that with the matching federal funds three buildings could be erected during the first two years.
