Keith ' jonee, Tbone Z-Citti Last Chance . . . Ag campus students are at least being given a chance to try to bring about definite action on the opening of an Ag campus Student Union. Early this week the Ag Men's Social club began the circn latlon of a petition giving the students an opportunity to express their choice of a location for an Ag Union branch. Some time ago plans were made for the inclusion of recreation rooms in the basement of the new Foods and Nutrition building When the building was completed the space provided was found to be inadequate in the face of the increased enrollment, and the Stu dent Union Board of Managers asked that some other, larger space be provided. Since that request was made, at least six months ago several sites have been requested by the board but no action has been taken. Now the students themselves have gone ahead with a petition asking for the use of the lower floor of the Student Ac tivities building, in an effort to try and make the Ag Union a reality as soon as possible. There is no question of the need for recreation facilities on the Ag campus. At present the only provisions made for ag students are the weekly Thursday afternoon hour dances and occasional Union sponsored square dancing programs. There is no place of any kind on the entire campus where coeds and men may go for relaxation and recreation. The only eating facilities available, other than the ag cafeteria, which is open only during meal times, Is a small cafe located across from the campus. A majority of the ag students who live and have classes on that campus are seldom able to enjoy the Union facilities provided on the city campus. The Union board is fully aware that these students are not receiving the benefits to which their Union fee of $3 per semester entitles them. The board has a $20,000 loan from the Board of Re gents with which to equip an ag branch, as soon as the necessary space is provided. Interested students and faculty have surveyed the situation and believe the lower floor of the Activities building to be the most sat isfactory possibility. This location would would be the most adequate suggested in that the board could equip it and stay within its $20,000 budget, it is located in the same building in which all ag parties are held, and it would not require a great deal of adjustment of schedules to prevent interference with classes. The suggestions that a new building be built or some kind of surplus wartime housing units be reconverted were made in the Union board meeting Thursday afternoon, but both were found highly Improbable at this time. The Ag Union has been under consideration for at least three years. The Union board has been ready to go ahead and begin con struction for the last six months. They are powerless, however, until they are given the space on which to build. To date the ag admin ist ration has been unable or unwilling to take definite action. If the ag students want a Union which could possibly be put Into use in the next year they will express themselves through the petition now being circulated. Evidently they must prove their interest if they are to get action, whether it be an approval of the Activities building location or the final selection of some other site. The Ag Men's Social club has set a goal of 80 percent of the ag students, or about 80 signers for their petition. Aa of yesterday they had about 300 signers. They have provided a booth in Ag Ilall where students may have access to the petition. If the students want a Union, even a temporary one to be used while effort are made for the erecting eventually of a permanent Union, they must show their interest. The patience of the Student Union Board of Managers is wearing thin. The Ash Gam by Marthella Holcomb You're wrong, the reason the navy men eye left as they pass Ellen Smith hall on the way to chow is not that they expect to see some beautious damsel come brokenly out of the dean of women's office. It's just that they're nature lovers. And celestially high up on the cornices are to be found delicately fashioned wrought-iron flowers. Seems some misguided artist long ago sought to compensate for the lack of landscaping on the campus, by building a makeshift roof garden. A rose by any other name would smell the same, architec turally, these stink. Thoce cryptographic messages hurtling through the air in the Crib are not orders, as the freshmen, and other naive characters are led to believe. The waiters have prostituted the old fire-house code for good-looking gals. "86 in 12", we're told, signifies the girl in booth 12 fa a whiz in chemistry, and "17 in 24" suggests the chicks steeds to stand closer wader her comb in the morning's mad scramble, which passes for rood grooming. Course they forget that poem of Dorothy Parker's "Girls never make passes at boys who drop glasses." ) Off I lie Upcoi-tl I By Jerry Oohn and Aaron Schmidt t. aava',a.a-.aa -a". i-f'ir' Students have shown a great interest in the country's leading bands and the musicians who play in them. We are therefore en deavoring to present to you a re view of the latest record releases including the facts and oddities connected with them. The Thundering Herd. Woody Herman and his thun dering herd have come out with more of their sensational music. Their newest release is an Irving Berlin tune, Everybody Knew But Me, coupled with Let It Snow. Woody lends his fine voice to Everybody and really does a good job. Let It Snow is played in the strictly knocked out style of the Herman herd, with the trombone work handled by Bill Harris. Woody Herman's band, for the benefit of those who are thrilled by Guy Lombardo's music, is the group that was voted Bank of the Year by the music magazines Down Beat and Metronome. You may recall several previ- i ous records of the Herman group such as Caladonia, Apple Honey, Your Father's Mustache and Goosey Gander. Soon to be re leased by Columbia are Blowing Up a Storm and Wildroof. Both are instrumental numbers which should be had by music lovers Woody Herman can be heard on his own coast to coast show every Friday evening over CBS, WHO? Playing for the Junior-Senior Prom on April 5th will be another name band. Watch for "Amer ica's Foremost Trumpet St Trom bone Stylist." While speaking of trumpeters, we should mention an Omaha boy, Sid Norman, who has just re turned from a nine months tour with Rav Pearl and his orchestra Sid played lead trumpet with the band, and is now back in Omaha awaiting his call to the army. He had just turned 17 when he joined Pearl's band, and can boast of be ing one of the youngest members to play in a semi-name band Have you any questions about your favorite bands or musicians? Let us know; we'll answer them all Doctor Gregory Publishes Book On Personality A pamphlet by Dr. Wilbur S Gregory, guidance consultant in the junior division, which ap peared in the March to June 1945 edition of "Character and Person ality," has just been released to the public. "The Application of Telonomic Description to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Emotional Instabil ity and Personal Social Maladjust ments" discusses teleonomic trends, explains their relationship to emotional instability, personal and social maladjustemnts and mental hygiene problems. In his pamphlet Dr. Gregory also pre sents methods of analyzing teleonomic trends for clinical pur poses and reviews principles of therapy and readjustments for problems arising from teleonomic trends. Army Years. Dr. Gregory defines a teleo nomic trend as "a generalized tendency to behave in such a manner that a certain result seems to be sought." According to Dr. Gregory, a person who is trying to show ofr and who is trying to prove that he is superior to others has teleonomic trends. He has just returned to the jun ior division after three years in the army. He enlisted as a private in 1942 and was recently dis charged with a rank of captain. Dr. Beggs, Dr. Sorenson Leave for Regional Meet Dr. Walter K. Beggs and Dr. Frank K Sorenson of the teachers' college will leave early next week for Chicago, where they will at tend a regional meeting of the School Administrators association, March 12, 13 and 14. They will also visit outstanding school systems in metropolitan Chicago, noting results in experi mental teaching methods, research and curriculum development. Dr. Stoneman Tells Post-War Life in Europe A Lincoln audience received a verbal glimpse of defeated Ger many from Dr. Merle Stoneman, assistant director of the univer sity's extension division, at Love Memorial Library Wednesday night. Dr. Stoneman, an aerial gun nery officer in the U. S. air forces in Europe, was third speaker in a lecture series designed to clarify Nebraskans' views on national and international issues. Geography. The abundance of canals, rail ways and roads as disclosed in aerial photographs of Germany proper, indicated the extensive communications system employed thruout the country, Dr. Stone man said. Using Munich as a "typically bombed city" with its buildings standing mutely gutted, 90 percent of its business district destroyed, railway station wrecked, its pop ulace living in the shambles of a dead city, the speaker gave a vivid depcition of Germany today. The small villages and rural Citizens Discuss Housing Shortage In Open Meeting Opportunity to learn about the Lincoln housing shortage and to express views and opinions as to future action will be given veter ans and other citizens in an open meeting of the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce Monday night at 8 in the Chamber of Commerce din ing room. . Questions may be submitted by those present to representatives of FHA, OPA, Real Estate board, City council and Chamber of Commerce, who will attend, as will contractors and owners of building material. districts show few signs of the conflict with the exception of those where troops of occupation are quartered. Though few of them expressed respect for the fighting ability of the allied soldiers, many German prisoners praised the fine equip ment the allies possessed. Dr. Stoneman stated that reports of the prison camp at Dachau were not exaggerated, and that it was inconceivable the people living in the vicinity were not aware of Dachau's infamous practices. J-r " In1 5 i -. v I A bout 7,000 miles of coaxial cable will be added to our plant during the next few years. Inside each cable are six or eight copper tubes each pair a broad communications highway over which two television programs or nearly 500 long distance telephone calls can travel. Giant plow-trains will "plant" much of this cable deep in the ground-safe from storm and fire. This construction is but a part of our activity in the television field. Now in an advanced experimental stage are plans to link coaxial cables and high frequency radio relay system, to provide a nationwide television network. Our part in television is the transmission of pro grams from one station to another. As this new industry develops, the Bell System will be prepared to provide whatever network facilities are needed.
