Under Our Noses ...
Until publicity releases concerning the open house to
be held Saturday and Sunday at Love Memorial Library
came into print, few students at the university realized
just what an outstanding institution the Nebraska library
sysem has become.. Not only is Love Library a pleasing
physical plant, but the method of cataloging books, of
removing the gap between classroom and library by elim
inating in great part the card and librarian method of
obtaining books, has received high acclaim from library
specialists throughout the country.
It has been a boast of many Nebraska students that!
they have never ventured into the university library ex
cept to find a shortcut to classrooms. But with the an
nouncement that at least 50 other schools have sent in
vesigating committees o the campus to inspect our li
brary, Nebraska students should be aware of just what an
efficient organization is housee within the gleaming walls
of Love Library.
Most novel of the innovations in the university Library
vestigating committees to the campus to inspect our li
efficient organization is housed within the gleaming walls
is the increased contact between the student and books. In
stead of seeing only the book that a librarian gives him
after taking his order, the student is surrounded by books
in four main reading rooms and is able to scan any book
that takes his fancy, whether he is required to study the
volume or not. This is the feature which attracts the atten
tion of other schools. Easy access to books and the oppor
tunity to examine any book are advantages for the student,
the most important patron of the library.
To really appreciate the advance that has been made,
students need only talk with former Cornhuskers who
struggled along with the outmoded and inadequate library
facilities which were used prior to the completion of Love
Library. The old library building, now known as Navy
Hall, was erected in 1894 and as early as 1910 plans for
a new building were begun.
Our present library building was started in 1940 after
' the university received a gift of $850,000 from the estate
of Don Love, a prominent Lincoln lawyer. In addition to
the original grant the university has added $250,000 for
improvements and equipment.
A few projects have yet to be completed, such as
the seminar rooms and faculty study rooms on the fourth
floor, but when students and friends of the university
tour the building Saturday and Sunday they will be view
ing one of the top library systems in the nation a library
which deserves the close inspectioii of every student.
Scein' Double
By
Don and Al Amsden
If you're looking for society news, look
elsewhere In tlys paper. We plan to take
up any subject that promlKes to Interest
more than one clique, or one houie, or a
slnple uroup. Obviously, this leaves candy
passings, "steadies", and coke dates for
someone else to cover, an arrangement sure
to please everybody, including us, for
thetn event are already more than ad
equately covered.
We intend to deal in opinions. We expect
to consider everything, but we make no
promises. If any question seems eiipecially
controversial, we may become Inquiring Re
porter for a day and let you help write
this column.
The main point l. we hope our double
viewpoint will help put forth a more repre
sentative opinion. You mav not agree, but
pull up a cup of coffee and read on.
Tonight the Ag Formal will sig
nal the beginning of the annual
"Queen Derby." The Farmers will
elect the Ag Queen, first and per
haps fairest of them all.
Now we have nothing but the
deepest respect personally for the
vounc ladv (whoever she may
be. (We groan audibly only be
cause this is just trie ursi in a
long line of queens, princesses,
sweehearts, and Typical Nebraska
Coeds. The others will be inflict
ed on us throughout the rest of
the school year a custom that
seems to us the most monotonous
and wearisome of many outmoded
traditions.)
How a few hundred votes
many of them coerced and made
with no familiarity with the can
didates at all out of 10,000 stu
dents can determine a typical coed,
for instance, is obviously farcial.
But the thing that particularly
attracts our rapt horror is the trend
toward more and more elaborate
titles. Last year these labels hit
their zenith in our opinion when
the Ag students elected a Goddess
of Agriculture. What honor could
they ever dream up to outshine
that majestic term? Goddess of
Agriculture. We hate to commit
ourselves flatly but the bestowers
of laurels seem to have reached
the end of their rope. In our eyes,
there's only one course left to
them they can come down to
earth and bestow more human and
realistic honors.
How about electing a Typical
Nebraska Bawd, for instance? Or
the Baggage of Bus. Ad., the
Strumpet of Sosh or the Jezebel
of Journalism?
Under our plan, we can replace
the Eight Eligible Bachelors, come
next Valentine Day, with the
Eight Rampant Rogues. Prince
Kosmct would be junked as old
fashion6d and we could vote to our

The platter that's causing plenty of chatter

what a record !
It's obvious "Skitch" has had plenty
of experience in tickling those ivories,
and he follows that experience rule in
smoking too. "I smoked many different
brands and compared," says "Skitch."
"My choice from experience is

Try Camels. Compare. Let your

ever before !
