More People
Visit Museum
This Summer
. Than Before
Just blame it on to the war
folks, but you are more interested
in museums now that you were in
peacetime.
Dr. C. B. Schultz, director
of the museum at Morrill hall on
the University campus, says
more persons are visiting the
museums this summer than in
the past years despite the tire
shortage which cuts down the
usual stream of visitors from a
distance.
Schultz is not surprised. Amer
ican museum men learned some
time ago from their European col
leagues that they could expect
more interest in their mummies,
fossils and ancient manuscripts
as soon as war touched American
shores. Even in Germany museums
attracted larger crowds after the
war started, according to Dr,
Schultz,

Next Monday at 7:30 when Mr.
Glattly, directing the university
summer school chorus, serves up
the vocal pwee de resistance of
the season, the public will hear the
results of a noble effort.
For several weeks now Mr.
Glattly has experienced his share
of difficulties as a chorus director.
The army came along and unsym
puthetically took one of his solo
ists, Jack Donovan. Also, for a
time It seemed as if the chorus
was to le pructlrully without male
voices. However, at the last re
port Mr. Glattly said reassuringly
that everything was shaping up in
good order. .
Mr. Earnest Harrison, pianist
and Mr. Myron Roberts, organist
can le trusted to provide him with
very able support and with Blng
ers like Clove Genslinger as solo
ists the public can expect a good
program. Of course the heaviest
burden rests upon the chorus it
elf, but, naturally, Mr. Glattly
has taken care of that detail.
Also Good.

Students Want Blondes,
Spare Tires for Lincoln
By Mary Kierstead
Lincoln is a nice town. Its popu
lation of some 80,000 enjoys its
broad, well-cared-for streets, the
lovely residential sections, the
Magnificent capitol building. (In
cidentally, this is not a chamber
of commerce advertisement it is
merely your inquiring reporter
trying to get warmed up.) Lincoln
is famed for its well-behaved, al
most gentle manner.
The people are good, average
Americans some of them are
even a little super-average. The
dogs and cats are nice, as dogs

Smith Presents
Future Campus
Co-operative residence halls for
men and an auditorium on the mall
north of the new library are only
a few of the innovations to be
made on the UN campus of the
future far future, probably, due
to world conditions according to
a new plan, worked out by Prof.
L. B. Smith of the architectural
department.
Represented by a big wash
drawing made by senior stu
dents last semester, the new
plan is the result of extensive
studies during the last few years.
The campus of the future has
been laid out in detail and has
been approved by the board of
regents as the basis of all plans
for new buildings.
The new campus scene, if this
plan is carried thru, will show
buildings filling in many of the
open areas on the present campus.
Bounded by 12th and 14th streets,
the quadrangle will be practically
filled in, and other university
owned spaces just outside the
campus proper will be the sites of
buildings.
Among the buildings planned
