"Xot fireproof' "perceptible sag in floors" "walls in good condition'' "columns loaded to the limit" Ominous words, most of them- yet together they paint an ac curate picture of the condition of a building in which approximately 500,000 pounds of books must be stored. Complete data on the condition of tlie university library has been compiled by O. A. Ellis, university construction engineer, who has made checkups from time to time and two years ago made a com plete examination of the building. Conditions (pioted in the report are conditions as they exist today, the one improvement made dur ing tlie two years being the con struction last summer of a new composition board ceiling in the reserve reading room. "Tremendous weight." "over crowding," "inadequate" all the old epithets applied to Library hall become more apparently ap plicable upon examination to the compiled facts, which show con clusively evidence of conditions which must be remedied, and which yearly become more acute. Loaded to Limit. Two major factors stand out clearly in an examination of the information compiled. The fact that the columns in the north wing are now loaded to the limit and the lack of a fireproof struc ture in the south wing. The 1200 new books which come into the i library yearly could no longer, with safety be added to the weight which the columns of the north wing are carrying, even were space on the shelves available. Nebraska law forbids the carry ing of insurance on state owned property. Hence, the necessity of protecting some $350,000 worth of books from destruction by fire is rendered absolute. Yet this invest ment, $350,000 of state money, is "protected'' in a structure which, by written statement of the uni versity construction engineer, is admittedly only partly fireproof. Wooden beams and joists support ing the floors, a roof which, to gether with its supports, is wood thruout, render the fire hazard in the south wing tremendous. Perhaps Termites.

'Redness' of Collegian Pales At Perusal of Nelson Survey College Student Inclines Toward Conservatism Are college students red? Is the line of talk which ascribes to edu cation the ability to make radicals out of conservatives logical. "Emphatically no on both the counts," replies Dr. Krland Nel son in a survey of eighteen differ ent institutions of higher learning. The schools cooperating in the study represent rhurch-stippoi ted institutions and r.tate universities In the middle west nnd the south. The investigation indicated beyond nil doubt that students in these schools toduy are definitely con servative in their opinions. Expressions of Opinion. In his report, Dr. Nelson clas sified "conservative attitudes" us those which tend to retain the status quo. "Liberal attitudes were those welcoming moderate changes, while the so-called "radi cal attitudes" w-ere placed at the opposite end from the conserva tive group. The questionnaire, prepared by Dr. Nelson and Dr. Worcester o? the department of educational psychology and measurements, asked the student to express his attitude on such Issues m free trade, science and religion, race toleration, capitalism, socialism, capital punishment, immigration, divorce, military training, patriat ism, communism, government own ership of natural resources, and the League of Nations. Frosh Are Exceptions. "In this group of eighteen col leges and universities we found not the radicalism attributed to the campus today, but to the contrary, our data indicates that these stu dents are definitely on the side of conservatism," Pr. Nelson writes in I'svchologlcal Monographs. "Only 22 individuals out of 3,708 showed mean scores indicating that they might be termed 'radi cal.' Although freshmen as a whole, in every institution with only one exception, are more con servative than the upper classes, even the seniors tend definitely to conservatism In their attitudes." "Sex differences were found In each of the four years of college," says Dr. Worcester. "These dif ferences are. significant and are In variably in the direction of greater conserval'-nm among: women. It is evident from our study none of these institutions are definitely radical. One institution Is strongly conservative, while each of the other groups may be described as conservative or mildly so. The greatest freshman -senior differ ence in attitudes returned to the university Is found in the state universities examined, ' the Diamond Chain company, and one of the -directors of engineer ing research for the American As sociation of Railroads.

According to traditions, tlie show Discard of the building for uni versity use has never been advo cated. The belief is that it might be used for other purposes is sup ported by the facts given in the report. The walls are "of ample thickness and in good condition." The ground floor, built two years ago is of good construction. The columns which now support their tremendous load of books could easily bear the weight of class rooms were the building to be de voted to that purpose. The concrete slab under the floor of the north wing is shown by the report to be noticeably defective. Altho bookshelves are not sup ported by the floor alone but rest upon beams which in turn arc sup ported by the columns, the defect is a real one, inasmuch as the re port describes the concrete slab as noticeably inferior, states that it can be readily removed with a trench digger's pick, and that pieces of it are friable in the hands.

For many years Comanche stood in a great glass case just in side the main door of the Dyche (K.U.) museum, an object of ad miration and comment.
