!: i ;i 1 Page 4 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Sunday, OcfoEer 20, BKft FWA Approves Class Building For University A temporary classroom building is going to be added to the campus soon, according to an announce ment from the offices of Senators Wherry and Butler, because the University's request for a surplus army frame type building has been approved by the Federal Works Administration. The new building, which will be 80 feet wide and 100 feet long, will be constructed from two 40 by 50 feet mess halls now located at the Sioux City Army Base, as cording to L. F. Seaton, operating superintendent. The temporary classroom build ing will be located east of the old Bancroft school structure on Vine street near 14th street. It will house four classrooms, one large lecture hall, and two drawing lab oratories, all of which will be used by the College of Engineer ing, which has insufficient space to accommodate a record-breaking enrollment of over 1,500 students this fall, according to Mr. Seaton. Mr. Seaton also said that an application for an additional building of the same size and type has been made to the FWA to house students of electrical en gineering. The entire cost of dis mantling, transportation, and re assembly is borne by the federal government.

"I now quote from the April 20, J941, Daily Nebraskan: ' 'Bob Mr.N'utt, I nlon party candidate from Blzad, was disqualified by the ram nUttee for violation of the ban on public ity. The story which formed the basis of MrMutt's ejection was the Sport Arena column written without the candidate's knowledge and neidiicently printed In Fri day'! Issue of the Dally. " 'Speaking of the latent developments In the election picture, the Student Coun cil elections committee emphasized the publicity ban, stating that no printed, mimeographed, or type-written or other wise published material shall be permitted In behalf of candidate except Impartial announcements In the press and on the official .student Council roisters bearing the pictures of all candidates. AccordlngH 10 ine interpretation ot Article IV ap pearing In the last Wednesday's Issue of the Dally, "Impartial announcements" meant a list of all candidates with equal Information about all on the list and no other Identifying marks la the press or on elections committee posters. All other material will be considered partial except that appearing In private houses, rooming homes or boarding houses. " 'The press, according to the same In terpretation, Includes any publication, which has the sanction of the Inlverslty of Nebraska Publications board.' Flagrant Violation. "Beeanse the violation In yesterday's election was more flagrant than that ' In 1M1, and because of the precedent set then, I feel that It Is your duty te bring this matter to the attention of the ju ddieiary committee for immediate action. Sincerely yours. Rodney Franklin, Junior, Arts and Sciences College." After reading the letter, Dale stated that according to the law laid down by the Council since the letter was printed, it should be considered as campaign ma terial and Novotny should be de clared ineligible. Kline Speaks. V m n uon luine, speaKing as sup porter of Novotny, declared "The opposition is basing its case on the letter of the law. The rule was made at a time when handbills were being passed out and much campaigning was go ing on. The law was to put a stop to this type of thing. They fail to realize that it is the spirit back of this rule. It has been a policy of The Daily Nebraskan staff to print both sides of the picture in editorials, letters and columns. We have an impartial press. The op position is trying to condemn an individual for a policy set by the Nebraskan staff. Kline further argued that the terminology of the election rules read "Either in person or through his supporters" and contended that since there were no politicial parties involved in the election, Novotny's only declared support ers were members of Beta Theat Pi. "Johnson, who wrote the letter, was an impartial individual and his letter was printed by the Ne braskan in accordance with its principle of the free press;" he concluded. After the representatives of the two candidates had presented their sides, the meeting was opened to further discussion. Jim Van Landingham, present in behalf of Devote, made a state- Classified ment concerning campaigning in student elections. Open Campaigning. "They say that the university is the cradle of democracy but yet mey say we can't have campaicn ing of any sort in elections. Since that is the way state and national elections are run, why can't we, as students, be allowed to conduct political campaigns of our own?" expressing the policy of The Daily Nebraskan this fall, Phyllis Teagarden, editor, stated that it has always been deemed necessary to have a Letterip column for expression of student opinion. "We have made it a point to print all signed letters and the answers to those letters in that column. The column is published to air student opinion and any ellers not containing profanity are accepted," she stated At the request of the judiciary comittee, Marion Mitchell ex plained the position of Bob John son, writer of the letter in ques tion. "He was a transfer student who came to the campus this fall. He is the type of fellow who likes to see things go the right way. The situation around here was ex plained to him and he didn't like it at all, so he wrote the letter. I have never seen any printing of the Council election rules and consider it the Student Council's fault because they wait until after the election to bring up a violation of those rules," Mitchell stated. Closed Hearings. After all the testimony had been heard by the judiciary com mittee, composed of Merchant, Virginia Buckingham, Helen Laird and Barbara Emerson Allen, the hearing was closed to testimony. The decision of the committee was announced as follows: "The Judiciary committee has heard the evidence of both sides concerning the eligibility of Dale Novotny for Junior Class Presi dent, and after due consideration, has ruled that he is eligible for that position. The policy of The Daily Nebraskan in regard Letterip column to publish signed letter regardless tent except those containing pro fanity is not considered a viola tion of the council election rules of Section IV, Article IV of the By-Laws. "Therefore, the election of Thursday, Oct. 17, is declared valid." Faculty Will Present First Recital Today The first of a series of annual faculty recitals brings four mem bers of the school of music teach ing staff to the Union Ballroom to day at 4 o'clock. It will be the first appearance in Lincoln for the two instrumental soloists, Miss Char ma Davies, pianist, and Robert Stepp, French hornist. Tenor J. Dayton Smith and Contralto Kathryn Dean will pro vide the vocal half of the after noon program. Mr. Smith's four solos by the Russian composer Gretchaniniff are particularly no table because none of these four songs have been presented to Lin coln audiences for some years. Miss Davies has chosen Ravel's "Sonatine," a three movement pi ano work in modfied sonata form. The appealing thing about the se lection is the combination of the classical flavor and modern idiom. Accompanists for the recital are faculty members Earnest Harrison and Mary Berner. The program as it will be presented is: Allerseelen fltrausa Schlechtea HlrauM Noon Robinson Souk of the Mnsque Uomer Miss Dean.
