List 50 Projects. To acquaint the people of the state with its needs, the univer sity submitted a building plan as a separate statement accompany ing its budget requests. The long time program lists 50 projects to be built at a cost of about $15, 000,000. Any major building program upon which the university em barks of necessity must be fi nanced in large part by state tax funds. At present there is a bill pending before the state leg islature which would provide for Crosby Asks UN District Divisions Lieutenant Governor Robert Crosby spoke on "A Nebraska Approach to World Government" yesterday at an all-student convo- - cation. He was introduced bv Professor J. P. Senning of the political science department, who said of him, "Citizen by birth, lawyer by profession, and a pub lic servant by choice." - One of the problems of a world 'government is the method of rep resentation, Crosby stated. Peo ple can be given a voice in gov ernmental affairs by "the count ing of noses" or by geographical sub-divisions. Examples of rep resentation' are the Pan-American Union, which allows one vote for each nation, or an equality to ge ographic sub-divisions. In the establishment of our own consti tution, the problem also came up Uhe result was a compromise, with a house containing each type. Stationed at San Francisco. Crosby said, "It was my good , luck to be stationed in San Fran cisco when the members of the Allied nations got together to draft the United Nations charter. The basic argument was repre sentation. I don't think anyone there was idealistic enough to suggest a representation of noses. The problem was that of how to represent political regions. "Since 1875 the state legisla ture has represented noses, each person representing approximate ly 30,000. In many states, po litical districts are represented. Wars have usually been fought over symbols. During the past 200 years, the symbol has been the national state. You cannot hope for peace until people's thinking is free of this symbolism, until people are, free to think of the world as not national states but as of people." 100 Districts. Lt. Gov. Crosby suggested that . the world might be divided into 100 legislative districts composed of approximately 20,000,000 peo ple each, and each of which would elect representatives to a world congress directly. "If we had a representative from the mid central United States he would have something in common with other men from agricultural tem perate zones all over the world. Representatives must care for the PEOPLE. "When we are willing to realize that there are few differences among people, we can have uni versal peace." Unicameral a one-mill levy lax on property. The levy would return to the uni versity about $8,000,000 over a pe riod of ten years. Pressing Needs. If the bill, introduced by Sen. Fred Mueller of Kearney, is ap proved by the legislature, the most pressing building needs of the university could be met. The need for a university build ing program has been brought into sharp focus by three major developments: (1) The necessity for providing adequate space for a student enrollment, now over flowing classrooms and ' labora tories, which will remain 100 to 140 percent above pre-war levels for the next four years, and at least 30 percent above peacetime totals for the next ten years: (2) the need for more space to carry on research work; and (3) the need to expand facilities housing many of the university's public service agencies. Buildings Under Construction. Three buildings are now under construction on the Lincoln city campus an armory for the Army and Navy ROTC training pro gram, a general classroom build ing, and an addition to the chem istry building to be used for chemical engineering. They are being built with $1,018,000 in sur plus funds allocated to the Uni versity by the state legislature in March, 1945. University buildings, like homes, factories and farm build mgs, deteriorate witn age to a point where the wisdom of re placement far outweighs the in creased cost of repair and main tenance.
