Waylaid Letter
Puts Bewildered
N. U. Prof on Spot
Early one morning recently, we
are told, Dr. C. O. Swayzee, asso
ciate professor of personnel and
labor relations, opened a letter
from his morning mail to find
written thereon the words, "Angel:
You don't know how I've missed
you. . ."
As may be expected, the good
doctor was at first distinctly
startled, and eat for a time quite
at a loss. Glancing cautiously then
at the envelope, he discovered to
his chagrin that it was addressed
to a girl who had been In one of
his classes during the previous se
mester, and had been sent in his
care because the Bender, another
girl in the same class, did not
know the address of her friend.
In confusion Dr. Swayzee rushed
the letter to its owner. Observers
state that since then correspond
ence and all allied subjects have
entered defin.tely into the list of4
unmentionables as far as the doc
tor is concerned.

Hill, Cooper, Archeologists,
Report Findings Near
Fort Calhoun.
Remains of a large Indian home
have been uncovered southeast of
Fort Calhoun on the James Fitz
gerald farm, A. T. Hill and Paul
Cooper, both of the university
archeological department, have
announced. Following the discov
ery by highway construction men
of numerous skeletons, 12 Wash
ington county WPA workers were
assigned to the project.
The Indian home is about 30
feet in diameter, with a fireplace
in the center. It is what remains
of a pit dug to a depth of about
four feet. In it are the stub ends
of the posts which supported the
roof. Pottery, clap pipes and uten
sils have also been found.
A short distance away an In
dian cache house has also been un
earthed. This house is built on the
same pattern, except that it has
a number of caches in the floor,
which are believed to have been
used for the storage of furs, meat
and vegetables.

berg. Political Situation Strained.
"The political situation is so
strained that I am afraid to write
much. There is a terrible hatred
between the Germans and the
Czechs here. In Ager (a town in
Bohemia) two Sudeten German
peasants were shot and many
others beaten because they admit
ted they were Germans."
The letter goes on to state that
German girls who have gone walk
ing in the evening wearing white
stockings and Dirndls have been
forced to take these off because
they represent the German peas
ant dress. "As Germans we are
afraid sometimes to go out into
the street."

C. Bcrtrand Sohultz Tells
of Museum Party's
Discoveries.
This is definitely a camel year
for the University summer field
parties who have been hard at
work for several weeks now un
covering fossils in western Ne
braska. Probably a greater vari
ety of camel bones have been
mined so far this year than for
any previous summer, -.ays C. Ber
trand Schultz, assistant director of
the museum, who returned to the
University for a few d.iy? this
week.
Schultz said that work is pro
gressing rapidly at the lrond
water site where one museum
party with the assistance of a
sizeable WPA force is concentrat
ing on excavating as much as they
can of "the world's largest camel."
At this same site three different
types of camel have been found
a small llama-like animal, another
about the size of the modern
camel, and the giant form. At
Hemingford the museum parties
are finding much older camels,
while at Crawford and Rushville
camel bones are being excavated
along with an abundance of many
other prehistoric nimals.

Project Pending State
Legislative Action.
Plana for ft $'2,500,000 building
program at the University hava
been revealed by Chancellor E. A.
Burnett and the board of regents,
with applications for PWA grants
to cover 45 percent of the cost now
being prepared.
The major part of the Uni
versity's share of the expense will
require appropriations from the
state legislature, and unless the
PWA closing date is extended be
yond January 1, 1939, a special
session of the legislature will be
necessary before that date in
order to secure advantage of thee
grants.
Applications are being prepared
for the following projects condi
tioned on appropriations by the
state legislature in time to bo
eligible for federal grants:
Library $900,000
Engineering laboratories 750,000
New University hall.... 45,000
Home Economics hajl.. 175,000
Of the self-liquidating type of
projects requiring no tax money
the only application filed at the
present time is that for a $275,000
athletic service building ani
stadium repairs and betterment.
The 55 percent of the cost of this
project to be borne by the Uni
versity will come fr "n athletic re
ceipts. In requesting funds for a new
library, the regents pointed out the
gross inadequacy of the present
building which has facilities for
only a relatively small number of
the books owned by the Uni
versity. Reading accommodations
are f&v from proportionate to the
present large enrollment, also.
It is proposed to unite the
various departments of the en
fineering college under one roof In
a large new Engineering hall to
be erected near Twelfth and T
streets facing the main quadrangle
from the west. Very meager ac
commodations are now provided
in the several scattered old build
ings and much valuable equipment

Gels in Trouble
at Pearly Gates
A registrant in the Bureau of
Educational Service was recently;
requested by R. D. Moritz, director;
of the bureau, to give the super
intendent under whom she had last
served as an additional reference.
In reply to this inquiry, Mr. Morit?
received the follow ng communis
cation:
"I cannot give my superin
tendent as a reference becausa
he finally died off last week. I
had a dream in which I saw him
floating around in space, and I
heard the Angel Gabriel tell him
that before he entered the
Pearly Gates, he must confess
his administrative error.
Now, think!' said the Angel
Gabriel, as he Instructed him to
take a box of chalk with him
on his way up, and for every
administrative error that he had
made to drop a piece of chalK
Pretty soon I saw my superin
tendent coming down, and th?
Angel asked him where he was
going. He replied: 'I'm going
after more chalk'."
