PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN Sunggy, October 5, 1947 Patience, Please One of the common gripes around Ag campus last year concerned the relative impossibility of making a class down town on the short ten minute period between classes. Un less one had a car, he was sure to be at least five minutes late and, if he missed the bus, up to twenty minutes late. Students suggested several remedies to the Ag Exec Board, and to faculty advisers. Acting upon their sugges tions, the Faculty tried the only solution which could be put into immediate action, they scheduled the morning classes at Ag on the half hour. This was fine in that it allowed ample time to walk down town to a class if necessary; however, it also neces sitated having a class at-UL30 which, in turn, caused classes to run into the noon hour. Since afternoon classes went back on the regular schedule, the noon period was clipped to forty minutes for those having afternoon classes at one. The noon rush at the cafeteria was increased consid erably because most of the students are served after twelve thirty and, with the short noon hour, there is less time to feed them. The faculty is considering the new problem at the present time and students are asked to give the new plan a fair trial since it was for their convenience that the new plan was formulated. Dean Burr, speaking of the situation, said Thursday, in part. "We are trying the new plan for the convenience of the students. We are now making a study of the present situation and, if it cannot be worked out satisfactorily we will have to amend it in some way, most probably to start classes at twenty minutes after the hour." So how about it, students? Let's give the faculty a while to study the facts before we complain too much on the present situation. Time spent in deliberation now will insure the success of a new plan if it becomes necessary. K. F.

What with the rally, street dance, farmers formal, and of course va rious and sundry games of foot ball. Student exuberance began with the rally. Cheer leaders, corn cobs, and tassels did a fine job luring; the student body onto the street and many indi viduals who had planed to at tend Frankie Carle found them selves dancing under the stars of the football frolic street dance and enjoying it. The number of casualties was high, how ever, since spectators seemed to make up the majority of the crowd. One result was pros pective jitterbugs losing each other but dancing on alone and undaunted. Ed Merriot and Bar bara Tobin found a solution to the situation by assuming dan cers' position calmly and let ting the crowd push them to and fro. Farmers Formal. Ag campus went western Friday night. Everyone was disguised in frontier or wild western garb with, cowboys, puritans and sher iffs retaining a generous repre sentation. One interesting feature of the evening- was Keith Fred rickson, resplendent on cowboy boots and seated on a bale of hay. Close observers could hear him muttering sadly about a new un derstanding ot girls dancing in high heels. Bob Scire ve, standing among tumble weeds and sage brush impressed the crowd with his newly developed western drawl and the dubbing of the Ag residence halls as "Ft. Loomis Hall" and "Love Memorial Trad ing Post." Climax of the evening was ,of course, the presentation of Queen Bernice Young in a striking, back to civilization white formal. Pi Phi pledges were evidently incensed with the old spirit after the rally. Seven a. m. Saturday morning saw them dragging ac tives bodily from the house for a brisk game of tough tackle. Altho dismayed by the surprise invasion, the home team re taliated by coming through for a smashing 13-0 victory. Two opposers Genene Mitchel and Joris Devereaux acted as sports photographers and handled the complete coverage of the out standing grid classic. t The campus showed many evi dences of becoming a migration point this week-end what with the droves of out of town guests. Gene Edwards was visibly happier than usual following the arrival of pin-mate Jackie Owen from Boul der. Dick Smith showed the same tendencies at seeing Dina Buck ingham altho her visits have been a weekly occurrence.

Farley Lauds UN Students' Library Use University of Nebraska students are among the most co-operative of any in the country, in the opinion of Mr. Richard A. Far ley, assistant director of general administration of the UN libraries. "There is no discipline prob lem at Love Library,' he told a Daily Nebraskan reporter Friday. As many as 200 Huskers study on the first floor without an at tendant to maintain quiet. No abuse or vandalism of any type has been noted, Farley said. Circulation Tops Record Circulation, which exceeds last year's .record high, is 5000 week ly, exclusive of books in refer ence rooms. Farley attributes in creased interest in the library's use to improved facilities and greater maturity of the students. About $40,000 is spent yearly for 10 to 15 thousand new books, most of which are purchased lor classroom use. Faculty members are librarians cooperate in se lecting books. How to Find New Books Shelves at the left as one en ters each reading room contain the newest books, still in their jackets. Once read, new books are kept in reading room stacks for easy reference. Their jackets are filed for use in future displays. The Bulletin Board, publication for UN faculty and official offices, prints the title, author and sum mary sentence of the new books considered most outstanding by Ag, Law, Bessey Hall and the four Love Library divisional di rectors. A copy of the Bulletin Board is on file in the Social Science reading room, Farley said. n n T REGOSTER HARVEY BE 307H CORNHUSKER TOUR" DRAWING All men registered al the University of Nebraska are eligible to register for the drawing.
