NIWYOIK.N.Y. tuica ' aoaroa ' Lai amilm aa iarci.co Lawmakers at Work Minus the purlimentary statesmanship of the initial unicameral and the awe with which the "first" is always regarded, Nebraska's leg islature opened the 1939 session with a show of partisanship and jittery demonstration of opening day procedural complications. There was a great deal missing from the 1937 uni cameral opening guest speakers, noustaehes, packed galleries and 23 state senators who failed to return this year. Because of the University's dose relation ship to the unicameral, the Daily Xebraskan is vitally interested in the legislature's dealings with the University. For this reason, the Daily plans to "cover'' as intelligently as possible all state legislation that is related, directly or indirectly, to the University of Nebraska. It is sincerely hoped that the Daily's legislative en deavors will not be shrugged off by the stu dent body as unimportant to the undergradu ate life. As an instrumentality of a state-supported institution, the Daily finds itself in an unique newspaper situation. The University itself is non-partisan, which forced the student news paper to assume the same political status. The Daily, therefore, i restrained from delving into the political ramifications of the state leg islature which is, in theory, non-partisan a theoretical presupposition which should be taken with a few hunks of sodium chloride. But that is the topic of which the Daily is supposed to shy clear. Speaking in behalf of the University family, the Daily Nebraskan welcomes Nebraska's legislature to the cam pus, extends best wishes for 1939, hopes for a successful session and prays for the unanimous smile of approval by the state senators upon the University of Nebraska. High Time In 1939 Pilled with boundless energy surging forth from the relaxation of the holiday season, Ne braska's students are back to their collegiate tasks. Except for those individuals who whiled away the time in idle pursuits, there is a sparkle in the eye, a note of cheerfulness in the voice, a lighter step in the foot and a warmer grip in the hand of the returning students. It is good to see and hear this campus spirit again. We hope this friendliness of the first day of school in 1939 is not brought about alone by the traditionally short-lived New Year resolu tions. They have grown to be only a first of the year custom that has faded out in sig nificance. They accomplish some purpose, how ever, when the resolutions grow out of a look ing back, a recapitulation of 19M, performed seriously and soberly. Although we are a half-week past New Year's Day, we are still concerned with the passing of "eventful 1938. .Stop and think of the past year, chock-full of episodes during each of the twelve months. s many of which al though far away had a direct bearing on the lives of all of us. Before plunging head-first into 1939, stop and think of what you person ally contributed to 1933 what accomplish ments, what you have learned and what ad vancement. Stop and think and take careful and impersonal stock of yourself. Tf anything, 1939 is a bold challenge to us. To those who graduate this year, it means a job and the eventual taking of a place as a citizen. Business soothsayers forecast big things for 1939, but a graduate of the 1939 class can net bring himself around to seeing a receptive world, awaiting the college student with open arms. To the remainder of the undergraduates, 1939 means little more than another sheltered year spent in college without the specter of the utside world haunting the immediate future.' Perhaps it is asking a great deal to expect college students to give serious thought to any thing outside their own little worlds, but it is high time that we take cognizance, first of all, of life beyond that of the campus. Sooner or later, we must realize that "life is real, life is earnest" The sooner, the better. Ninth, N. U. Library The state planning board lust week made publio a 10-year state building program which called for a total expenditure of $4,64;"i,OO0 during the decade or $tti0.000 per year. Ninth on the list was the University of Nebraska library, the cost of which was cited at sjKOO.. 000. The projects, listed in the order of their relative need as judged by the board, are fr all state institutions. Those ranked before the university library are: 1. Equipment for PWA fi nanced buildings for board of con trol $140,000 Tunnels and service lines to PWA financed buildings at Lincoln hospital 3,000 2. Remodel buildings at Milford institutions and install fire escapes 50,000 3. New ward building for 150 at Hastings hospital 204,000 4. Repairs in administration building at Lincoln hospital 35,000 5. Penitentiary building, fence road 60,000 6. Fire escapes at Geneva and school for blind, Nebraska City, to be built from maintenance funds. 7. Enlarge laundry at Hastings hospital 15,000 Enlarge dining room space at Has tings hospital 5,000 Remodel old boiler room as laun dry at Kearney T. B. hospital . . . 6,000 8 Major repairs and replace ments for the Nebraska State Teachers' colleges 15,000 Twelfth on the list is u hospital building at the university college of medicine in Omaha estimated at $275,000 and thirteenth is a $600. 000 engineering building. Only three univer sity building needs were observed, therefore, during the next ten years. The planning board members made an exhaustive study of all of Nebraska's institu tional needs before they submitted their report to the governor. The board did not urge the state to spend this four and a half million dol lars during the next ten years, but merely dis closed the results of n careful investigation of "items urgently needed." The word "urgently" strikes home hard as far as the university campus is concerned. Even more, "emergency" is more appropriate for the state university library. I hall, en gineering building and Nebraska hall. Crum bling U hall, by the way. was conspicuous by its absence on the planning board's list. If there is a statule of limitations for emergen cies, the one on old U hall has most certainly expired. Our deep-seated conviction as university students is that the university library project merits first consideration. But the planning board is not pro-university, not pro-Lincoln hospital, not pro-penitentiary and not pro Hastings hospital. The board is only pro-Nebraska. The investigation convinced the board that the university library is ninth in urgency, and unless the state legislature can see a more imperative need for the library, the university must wait for nearly two years before the li brary can be expected to receive state approval and appropriation. The eight projects which precede the uni versity library will cost approximately $33. 000. This means that funds for the considera tion of the library will not be available for nearly two years, if the state continues its building program of the last ten years along the same lines. Existing economic factors brought on by the fifth year of drouth may cause the state to delay the program a year and pick up the slack in some future biennium. "With all due respect to the state planning board for its maiden attempt to budget the state building program into a well-mapped ten-year period instead of spending the state's money haphazardly, the university's existence thru its so-called cultural' center the library is being placed in further jeopardy by pro longing the time before the new library be comes a sorely-needed reality. Without being selfish and without failing to co-operate with other state institutions whose needs are prob ably as pressing as the university's. Nebraska's second unicameral legislature may eventually recognize and honor the university's prime emergency need a new library building.
