Shown above are pictures of liancroft school at 14th and Vine streets which has been the
topic of discussion before the appropriations committee of tlic legislature. The board of repents
have appeared before the group and presented a plan to purchase the unit to house parts of the
cngineeiiny: college.
To purchase the school, which is across the street from the north mall, the regents are
requesting the legislature to appropriate $75,000 now in the testing fund. This surplus arose
thru fees received for testing work done by the engineering college.
The property worth $281,000 according to R. W Devoe, president of the board of re
Rents, could be purchased for $77,000 from the Lincoln school board. If this request is granted,
the school will be remodeled for the use of the engineering college.
Directly above is a picture made from the east entrance to Morrill and shows the prox
imity of the school to the campus. The picture to the right above shows the steps which lead
from the school to the coliseum. At right, by contrast, is shown the facilities engineering stu
dents are now offered. It is the drive behind U hall and shows the crumbling foundation of
the electrical engineering building and in the background the mechanical arts annex.

recently in an article.
Dr. Ginsburg is a native of Rus

the present situation of the "peas

The author states that the sup

the peasantry's naive faith in the
party leaders which gave victory
to the communists in the civil
