A simple phrase, jbut what a world of meaning and significance Jjg Attached tn it. To enll it a "long-awaited" opening would be trite so often has that nd joctive been attached to the Nebraska student .union. Yet in describing it as a long-awaited ; opening we may be able to provide a better background for' the gala opening which is to take place this evening. ! Looking: in retrospect over the trials, the ' work, and the campaigning which hag ma terialiied into the formation of a student center at Nebraska, we turn to the future and say, "What of it? A life was lost in the actual construction, other buildings are juieeded, and the students seem to have suffi- cient social life at the present time. Will it ; be worth it all?" Somehow or other we've got the feeling that it will be worth it all. One of the major accomplishments which the union will be able to write on its records is that of an improved relationship between faculty and students. With very little effort and a regular number of informal faculty-student affairs, this may be accomplished It has been accomplished ' on other campuses, such as Wisconsin univer . aity, Iowa university, Michigan State, Minne- sota, and Ohio State, and Nebraska need be no ; exception. The purpose of the Union, as stated i in its constitution, is for the students and Ihe university "family" to have a glorified gath- erinjf place, social hangout and activities cen , ter. "Family" embraces the alumni, faculty, : and administrative staff. Thus, with the pro j vision of -egular informal faculty-student gath 1 eringa the Union may accomplish what the , usual formal atmosphere of the classroom fails to achieve. Whether the Union will bring a closer j unity among barb students remains to be ! seen. Tha fact that the building will offer a central meeting place means little, for at the present time, barb groups have established central meeting places. The stimulation na J turllly connected with a student activities center and tha drawing power of sucn a wen arranged and well-furnished building may be ; the answer to tee need for better organiza- tion of unaffiliated students. J A recent visit to a student activities cen- ter which Is similar to Nebraska's Union, has ' convinced us that the Union will provide a J place for rest and relaxation so needed in the busy routine of college life. A well-stocked li ' brary, a number of lounges, and the dining rooms and grill room will help accomplish this purpose. Another contribution which the Union ii bound to make to the campus is the pre vention and cure of "spectatoritis." Tha Union promises to throw a monkey wrench Into the machinery of our routine, regi- mented lives, and offers a great opportunity to contribute to the development of intelli gent living among its students. The Union will develop, by practical experience, the val uable art of living together, which some other university agencies now attempt on a limited scale. It will provide positive activi ties to take the place of wasteful diversions. And not the least important, the Union will co-ordinate the present student activities and offer facilities for expansion that will double participation and quadruple the accomplish ments. If there could be any greater threat than this to a serene campus of "spectators," we've yet to see it. As pointed out recently in these columns, the Union will not only establish a better re lationship between students and faculty, but will also bring about greater congeniality among faculty members. The constitution specifies that a general faculty dining room be set up so that, the members can become ac quainted with fellow instructors, even tho they aren't in the same department. If the Union secures an atmosphere of congeniality among the various departmental instructors and gives a political science professor an opportunity to discuss the affairs of the day with a French professor, another great achievement may be recorded on the Union credit books. Another Union contribution which might be given to the students is in the form of a better relationship between unaffiliated and affiliated students and among affiliated stu dents, themselves. Petty jealousies and mis understandings due to lack of congenial re lationships with members of other groups might well be erased through the added cor diality inspired by the Union. All of which would be a justification for any Union. These contributions, in addition to the di versions of motion pictures, contests, lectures, and frequent dances, including some featuring "big name" bands, will make the Union worth all the effort, controversy, and sorrow which supplemented its construction. The Union opens tonight for your approval. It's your.- to do with it what you will. Whether you use dis cretion in its development will be up to you. A vast amount of potentialities are waled within its walls. Whether they're fully uncov ered will depend upon the enlhusiasm and co. operation with which all studenls and faculty members receive it. Those who minimize and neglect ihe oppor lunitie of the campus, including those of the Union, dreaming dreams of big thinus "after while," may come to the close of Ihe day "empty handed" and, Ihus lose the life they might have lived in college. Studenls who 'atch the vision of opportunity in college life itself; those who magnify the present in a life worth while on the campus, shall have their reward, not only in their contributions to the right kind of university life, but in the habits which persist in Ihe determining complex we call character, the surest guarantee of effi-eiencv. Topic of student comment and conversation for the past few months, and especially the last week or two, has been the new Student Union. Innumerable fea tures included In the building will be placed at the disposal of both students and faculty. Therefore, it seems apropos to find out just what use the building will be put to and what features in the new Union will be utilized the most. Following are the opinions of a handful of students, and one faculty member interviewed at random, expressing answers to the following question: How do you intend to use tne new Student union ana wnicn or the features In the building win you utilize the most? Ed Sigrlst, Arts and sciences, freshman: I think I'll use the new build ing for a lot of things. I'm a Chi Phi, and as our house Is quite a distance from the campus, tne building will be pretty convenient for me. Coking, parties, other so cial activities, and some studying will be my main interests in the Union. I'm going to dance to Orrin Tucker Friday, and person ally, I think he s got a sweet band." Lee Tunberg, pre-med freshman. "The Union's o. k.. but I still think a library would have been the better thing to build. I don't expect to use the new building much as mv course lanes iou much time for study. I suppose when I'm a junior I will use the building, but until then, I'm a student." Charlotte Sklar, pre-nurse course, freshman. "Rerrestion. some study, cak tne. and other social activities will be the essence of my sojourns In the Union. By caking. I don t necessarily mean that girl has to have a date to go caking. Two or three girls can go a-mnm and have lust as much fun as when they are dating. Personally, I think the new Union Is just as important as a new library would have been." John Dalllng, Arts and Sciences junior. "Necking In the lounge, Oh bov!" Dick McGlnnis, Biz-ad Junior. "A good place to rest and have a little fun. where a person can get away from the grind of study i use it. and extra-curricular work." Joseph Frank, initruotor iri the Romance Language department. "Most of my time in the Student Union will be spent in connection with activities concerning the va rious French clubs at school here. If there Is a projection machine in the new building, we plan to hold some of our French movies there. If the French club is alloted a room, we shall install a French library, separate from the depart mental library in University hall. Considering the benefits that the Union will give students and fac ulty, I believe one of the most im portant will be the more friendly relation that will undoubtedly re sult from the association of faculty and students." Donald Pyles, biz-ad junior. "My main interest in the Union will be the study facilities that will be included among the features of the building. I think the building will be a better place to gather in friendly groups than cheap drug stores and beer joints. The better atmosphere will be a big factor in campus social development. I'm going to the dance Friday night, and I think that orrin Tucker is plenty smooth." Gerald Shanahsn, Arts and Science freshman. "I think the building has more features than the outside attrac tions students have had to use tn the past. It's only proper to have school functions at school Winston Hedges, ag engineer, sophomore. "I won't spend much time in the building, but when I do have a few minutes to spare, I'll try to spend them there. I won't use the build ing for studying, only for rest and recreation. The biggest campus events should all be held In the Union, and not at outside loca tions." Muriel Krasne, teachers college senior. "I'll only have one month In which to use the building and I'm going to try and get as much pleasure and enjoyment a I can In that month. I think the ball room is the outstanding feature of the Union, with the first floor lounge a close second. The whole building is beautiful and worthy of all the praise accorded it. I'm sorry I have only one month to Home-Made Radio Advertises 1938 Engineers Night The blatant music of a radio placed in front of the Pharmacy building again announces the an nual Engineers' nights. The radio, which is a copy of an automatic tuning style, was designed by Ken neth V, Kratochvil, a senior in the Electrical Engineering college. Me was assisted in the construction by Edward Edison, Norman Bove, Ted Flueger and Lloyd Schneider. . . The actual construction Cf the radio required 120 hours of labor. The radio is operated by a speaker connected with a public address system in Pharmacy hall. Aa the Neon company donated all of the Neon tubing used in the construc tion the cost of the project was only 19.18. The radio is played be tween classes and during the noon hour.

Wall of Knotty Pine Add Distinctive Touch To Browsing Library In the northeast corner on the first floor, a cosy room has been equipped for the browsing library of the Student Union building. Knotty pine walls wnd set-in book cases will be the setting for stu dents who have some time to spend in looking over the Student Union supply of magaz-lnes and books. The room has several windows that will furnish good light for reading. These windows ara draped In silver-green wool drapes. The chairs are in green and gold tones. Love may ask at locksmiths, but grocers are something else. a very charming and interesting personage. Psst! There's a secret to Tuck er's playing, and so, not to keep you waiting until Friday night, here It is: According to the maes tro himself, the trick of pleasing the public is to give them sweet, melodious music, subdued, but with rhythm, just soft enough to allow conversation while the band is playing.
