The Union
Opens Today
The Union opens today! 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

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.
