Friday, March' 7, 1941 DAILY NEBRASKAN t Educators seek space on ag campus for home ec activities By Randall Pratt. Space, rather than curriculum and standards is the chief concern of university officials seeking: to obtain a new foods and nutrition building in place of the old home ec building on ag campus. Originally built as a dormitory to house 80 girls, the home ec building now accommodates five times that number. Originally in tended for two courses, the build ing now houses seven courses in luding foods and nutrition; cloth ""vg and textiles; design; housing; equipment and home furnishing; family life, including child devel opment and home management. Research and extension work of fices are also housed there. Two labs serve 400. Two cooking laboratories built for high school classes are still the only laboratories available for over 400 students in food prepa ration and meal service. There are no nutrition laboratories. Time schedules for some classes must overlap because of lack of space. In others, two students must work at a desk equipped for one. Only institution in the state giv ing courses required by the Amer ican Dietetic association for en trance as dietetic interns in ap proved hospitals is UN. Competi tion for such internships is na tion wide and becomes keener each year since the number of ap proved hosDitals is limited. It will be unfortunate if the poor physi cal facilities handicap graduates fin securing appointments. Seventy against 300. In the cpfeteria about 70 col lege students are being served at a club rate. According to Miss Fedde, chairman of the home ec department, if more space were available, adequate balanced meals could be serv ed to at least 300 at naidirble lower pnee than BAmt now nav. Students would save money and a larger number 1 Grad college registers 385 287 simly for masters degrees; 80 for Ph.D. Students in the graduate col lege for the second semester total 385 according to an announcement by Dean C. S. Hamilton. This group includes 287 men and 98 women. Working toward masters d grees are 244 while 80 are working toward Ph. D degrees.

Practical experi ence received from this work bene fits students, especially those de siring to enter hospitals as dietetic interns and for those who desire to do food work in institutions. For many years it has not been possible to take adequate care of the food needs of state visitors to the campus, (sometimes as many as 2,000 on one day). Facilities are inefficient and overtaxed with resulting general dissatisfaction. The kitchen is par ticularly condemned because of Its poor arrangement and crowded space. Class work is disrupted, help and teaching personnel over worked and the service slow and unnecessarily costly. These condi tions can only be corrected by the provision of more space. Home ec students visit Kansas City in restaurant tour Twenty-five junior and senior girls left ag campus yesterday for Kansas City and a tour of important eating places and stores there. After the chartered bus arrives in Kansas City tonight, the group of coeds will register at the Hotel President and spend the evening as they like. They will attend a special home ec broadcast from radio station WDAF today, visit Fred Harvey's at the Union Sta tion and see the Wyandotte high school cafeteria in Kansas City, Kas. Highlight of the day will be a trip to the Municipal airport. Here they will visit the famous airport restaurant . and go thru hangers and a stratoliner.

Want to be 90 percent sure of hav a job? Get yourself a doctor of philosophy degree. That might be the conclusion from a survey just completed by the Carnegie Foundation for thi Advancement of Teaching. Re turns from eight large graduate colleges, representing one-quarter of all the Ph.D. degrees granted last year, showed that approxi mately 90 percent cf persons who earned the degree in 1940 have found employment. About half of the persons who were reported are employed in col lege teaching and about four-fifths are engaged in some kind of edu cational work for which their training had especially prepared them, such as educational admin istration and research. Three in stitutions reported 71 doctorates in education, with approximately the same rate of employment as the doctors of philosophy. Institutions reporting included Columbia university, which con ferred 228 Ph.D. degrees last year; the University of Wisconsin with 160, California with 130, and Iowa. Johns Hopkins. Minnesota, New York university and Yale with lesser numbers.

Chemistry prof amazes audience by throwing TNT Col. C. J. Frankforter of the chemistry department is one lec turer who isn't classified as a bull thrower. He throws bottles of TNT and other high explosives at his unsuspecting audience. The throwing episode occurred Tuesday in Avery laboratory lec ture hall in a demonstration lec ture on high explosives by the Colonel under the sponsorship of the Nebraska chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Enginers. While the large audience, made up mostly of chemistry and en gineering students, sat with their mouths wide open, Colonel Frank forter detonated a dynamite cap within a small barricade. He also exploded a piece of cotton satur ated in "TNT soup," by hitting the cotton with a hammer. Following his lecture, dealing particularly with the use and com position of powers and shells in industrial and military equipment, the Colonel illustrated the diffi culty in igniting many high ex plosives. Explosive engineers can use powder so skillfully that a large shaft of marble, just the desired size for a column, may be loosened without moving the shaft off of a rock shelf, Frankforter stated.
