'' .' -t This ODE TO A WONDERFUL EDIFICE, OUR GOOD OL' LIBRARY HALL Wealth of Beauty and Con venience Entrances All Who Enter. Professors, students, and friends: Today we gather, not to bemoan difficulties and hardships of col lege life, but to extoll and to praise the magnificent heritage and wealth of beauty which has descended to us and which is even at this day embodied for us in the Nebraska University Library, (Applause). Without doubt, one of the most emblematic, imposing, beautiful, and convenient edifices on our fair campus Is that of Library Hall. For centuries (for a long time, anyway) the Hall has served its mighty cultural purpose and today this memorable day it still stands, beautiful and majestic efficiently and uncreakingly dis pensing knowledge, as of yore. What Atmosphere.v The Hall has atmosphere, and such an atmosphere! Within Its well-braced walls, students are surrounded with that nasally de lightful fresh smell of new books and well seasoned timbers which are, as yet, and after all these years, uninvaded by these terri ble little termites which are caus ing so many old buildings of other universities to fall upon studying students crushing out their very lives. But in our Hall of Knowl edge, thank Heaven, the students o fthls great university may flock in great numbers and may study on any of the "etages" without fear of crashing to their deaths as so often happens in other li braries. What Beauty. We may Justly pride ourselves, therefore, in the beauty and safety of this great building. We may point with pride to Its lofty tur rets and its gothlc loveliness. It is truly a Jewel on this verdant campus of ours. But within the walls there too we find the omnipresent evidences of beauty, usefulness, efficiency, and struc tural perfection. We need never worry, never fear that our fine library will ever be replaced by some structure, quickly thrown to gether and of little safety or con venienee. For hundreds of genera tions to come, the librry will re main a symbol of all that is fine and beautiful in this modern age o fours. But we cannot dwell for the en tire period of this discourse upon nly the aspects of the hall which are evident to the students. There are other marvels! What Convenience. Our librarians are probably in the most fortunate situation known to their species. They have at their disposal the most modern and convenient methods of storing the books and then getting them cut again. All that is necessary in the routine of a librarian in our fine manusrrlptal institution, is that she trot about the numerous tunnels and caverns, in the hind and lower regions of the building and then soon emerge with the re sults of her search.

The new policy immediately created the Nebraska ' whit spot Alumni Association widen now pays the professor the difference between his present alary and that offered by some oiier institution.

In fact, this part of the library has always held a great fascina tion for the majority of the stu dents. They often wonder if any one has ever lost his way In the labyrinth, or if anyone has never returned alive. But it Is not for them to know the secrets of those secluded portions of the. library. And then again, these splendid burrows are for the enjoyment of the librarians and not for the stu dents. What Peace. Buzzers and bells never destroy the peaceful solemnity of our sa cred resting place the library. Everything in this respect also, is modern. Indirect lighting and win dow facilities provide against col lective student eyestrain. Desks are of soft, smooth wood and won derfully roomy and handy. But how enn I continue (you guess with me) when there are so many perfections, so many beau ties, so many conveniences in our ever up to date library." I cannot continue. Time prevents. Applause. But let us at this propitious time, rededicate ourselves to the enjoy ment and to the use of this great institution which lies ever ready to faithfully serve us the univer sity library hall. Husker Grapplers Annex All Honors at Mat Meet oach Adams Happy Star Wrestlers All Graduate. That Coach Jerry Adam and his wres tling squad, triumphant in the na tional mat meet held at Penn State college last Friday and Saturday, returned to Lincoln last night. The Huskers won the national team championship, taking six first places and one second. The Huskers' second place came In the 118 pound class, In which Freddie Webster lost his final match to McDaniels of Oklahoma. The 126 pound class was the only one in which the Huskers failed to place. In this division, Jim Knight, the team's weakest man for the past two years,, lost out in the first round to Fansher of Kan sas State, who went on to win the finals. Luke Pins Warner. Bill Luke started the Nebraska string of championships when he pinned Carl Warner of Kansas State In the final match of the 135 pound class in 4:21. Luke used only a half nelson In defeating Warner. Leland Clare, weighing In at 145, then got a derision over Dale Brand of Cornell college, member of the 1936 Olympic team, to account for the second Individ ual title for the Scarlet and Cream grunt and groaners. The Nebraska chain of victories was continued by Bill Horn, 155, Jerry Adams, 165, and Paul Fid ler, 175, all of whom won their matches by falls. Adams, who has not been defeated in the last two years, scored the quickest fall of stitution. Even if I were offered $15,000 Instead of my present $10, 000 salary, I wouldn't feel like leaving this Institution for higher learning," one faculty member stated. "I doubt the fact that a single professor would leave Nebraska altho he had the chance," another institution Instructor maintained "Few professors think of their salaries. It's the theories in their teaching and the interest of tl.c.r students that makes a professor maintain his profession." Only Lose One.' The one member of the faculty that left Nebraska during the last two-year period was not named. Ill health and a required change in climate were the ultimate reasons for the instructor' leave of ab sence. Other instructors have seemed percetly satisfied with their satus at Nebraska. In keeping with Uie terms of their contracts, they have been writing many articles for current magazines. A number of professors are now publishing oooks. several members of the faculty have wilfully devoted their spart time to state politics, the meet, requiring only 1:24 to pin his man to the mat. DeLoa Johnson, heavyweight, T.J. New Business Manager Says 'Two Persons in Every Seat.' University officials announce to day that T. J. "Tom" Pendergast, of Kansas City has been appointed the new business manager of the athletic department to succeed John K. Selleck. It is the purpose of the university to Initiate a cam paign to get two persons Into every seat at the football games. It is thought that Pendy will bring along some of his associates to make attendance at football games compulsory. Just to make the new manager feet at home, the office in the coliseum has been redecorated to resemble a voting place. Adorning the wall are various ballot baxes, all stuffed, which recall successful campaigns that Mr. Pendergast has engaged in. In the telegram of acceptance Fendergast said: "Our slogan for next year will be 'Slug the coin box and if you don's, I'll make a black and blue spot out of your bait spot.'" finished it off by getting a deci sion over Gustafson, Big Ten champion, in the final match of the meet. Despite the fact that all of thiaJ year's team are graduating . jn June, next year's team promises to be as strong as ever. A group of outstanding frosh will furnish the Bulwark for the team next year. The only men sure of posi tions on next year's team, how ever, are Dwight Burney, at 126, and Ken Miller, at 135. Competi- tion in all other divisions will be very strong. Coach Adam said that the only man w hom he wasn't sorry to see leave was Jim Knight, whom he described as the porrest wrestler he had ever seen. Spring Vacation to Last Until Final Exams Time Regents Believe There Is a Time for Play and This Is It. This year's vacation, which be gins officially Friday morning at 8 o'clock, Is this year to be unique. The new trend toward liberal ed ucation has been passed by the Board of Regents and at their reg ular meeting Sunday night they declared. "We have great faith in the intentions of this student body, therefore we have decidfd to grant them the privilege of re maining at their homes for the re mainder of the semester. We realize that school has been difficult, regular, and tiring the past 25 weeks, and in view of that we declare this holiday. We do, however, require the students to be back for their final exams in May, if it la not asking too much." Dr. Easy Says. Dr. S. O. Easy, of the Shoesiol ogy department, when asked his view on the new ruling parlied. "Because I feel that this vacation Is a long-deserved privilege, I am requesting personally that my stu dents do not return to my classes after vacation. Chances are, they might be so filled with thoughts of home nd their parents that they would get nothing from my lec tures, and far be it from me to bore a student or waste his time." Letter Rip Speaks. Letter Ripp, Innocent and acti vities man, says aa a representa tive of all men's activities, "The student body strongly favors and greatly appreciates this gesture on the part of the Board of Regents. They have always played fair and souara with us. The time has come when we students were vastly In need of more time to coke, read the better literature, (College Hu mor), and sleep.

For entertain ment, enjoyment, beautiful girls and handsome men, come to the university. This school with its beautiful landscaped campus is known as a girls' paradise. First you must know of some of the entertainment offered. The Thl Tsi's are especially noted for their wnoderful social events this year. Not long ago, they had their nionthly swing party with a bat tle of music between Benjamin Goodman and Tommy Dorsey. Re- rreshmen Bill Clayton arranged that the Cornhusker beauties serve Philadelphia Cream Cheese on pfeffermuses. It is needless to mention the beautiful scenic drive with picnic grounds all fixed up. Tables are scattered hither and thither for this use. The only thing that is restrained is late hours. Any girl getting in after 3:00 a. m. must pay a 15c fine. This must be enforced for there are always those who would not keep within the law if there were not a penalty. In the afternoon, tea is served at the Dean of Women's Office from three to five. This is done to promote a friendly feeling among fellow students and also for the rake-off on the bluk order of Tender Leaf tea which they offer. The pan-hellenlc office is here to protect the setudent from the house mothers. A bill is before the office to do away entirely with all house mothers. In the winter, a taxi service Is furnished by the university to eliminate anyone from getting cold. White stands for purity, and the purity of the souls of the univer sity shows without a doubt that no chaperons are needed, for what good do they do anyway? We also have the XXX here, which not only shows that X marks the spot, but there are three of them. Shln-Dlg. Every month, each department is responsible for having some kind of a shin dig. The French de partment In order to stick to their line of work is having an ocean party. The Normandie, being a French liner, has been reserved for the little get-together and will leave New York harbor soon, The only thing the students are responsible for is getting to New York. Every so often the student body is excused for the day. Take to morrow, for instance, no one has to come unless he wants to, but it 'really doesn't matter. A few weeks ago, classes were all dis missed.' Students got permission to stay at their dearly beloved classes but no go. Finally the senior presi dent got up the courage to ask the chancellor Just why the stu dent body had to be dismissed. To this he replied, "Well, you see it's this way. Lois Hiatt fell down and turned her ankle. I felt that I should let her go home, and if I did that for one, I should do it for everyone, so I declared a holiday."

The featured speaker was Dr. Don Joe. of Poughkeepsie, who had a slight dissertation on the merits of International student union or the racial problem, hav ing a duration of some three odd hours. As Dr. Joe completed the second page of his address, the students were well dispersed over the building. However, the speaker was so entranced in his work that he failed to notice the absence of his audience. Three times he ran through the same composition.

"Students of the University of Nebraska are never annoyed by other students selling tickets or annoy themselves by selling them," stated Dean Amandn Hepp ner In an exclusive interview held on the eve of Tag day. So en thusiastic are the crowds clamor ing for tickets to the productions like Coed Follies, Kosmet Klub, French and German shows etc., etc., etc., that no need for ticket the actives. The flowers were de livered during dinner and there was a very sympathetic card at tached. It's really remarkable, the sincerity around this campus. So when you are planning to take a trip for the glorious fun you can get out of It, remember the University of Nebraska the white spot of the nation, where every man makes his own laws and sticks to them unless some woman changes them for him.

In constructing the union, all records for VVPA labor speed were broken. President Roosevelt's ap propriation check was still on its way, when the foreman informed the board that their structure was completed. The overalled work men seemed inspired as they set to their task on 14th and R sts. As far as has been determined, the student council is still debating as to where the edifice shall be placed. "I don't know what to attribute our speed to," stated Wilbur Smithers, foreman, "unless it is the fact that we tried a new sys tem of starting at the top and working down. Boy This Job was a brick!" The construction feat was in deed unusual since only 79.000, 000.003 men were employed on this project, number 6222453. With the completion of the building, a long student fight through the generations comes to a placid close. Now, with nothing better to do, the collegians have taken up the torch in a battle for a duplicate Student Union so that the first will not appear so con spicuous.
