NS A Poll Set
For Tuesday
By Council .
The student poll on the Na
tional Student Association ques
tion has been changed to next
Tuesday, March 16. The Student
Council came to this decision
after several alternate proposals
had been voted down during their
Wednesday meeting.
The voting will take place in
both Ag and City Unions, from
9 a. m. to 6 p. m.
The result of the poll will not
be the final disposition of the
case. As a council motion of two
weeks ago read, if the poll in
class Friday morning could not
be arranged through the faculty,
a regular student election would
be held to serve as a guide to
the Council's final decision.
The Council took this action
because of a fear voiced by a
few of the members that not
enough students would vote unless
the poll were taken in a class
period, where it was felt a much
larger proportion of the student
body would vote.
Because of the nature of the
proposed vote, a motion was
presented and passed to have the
phrase, "Don't Know" stricken
from the ballot. Thus, voters will
have to vote either "Yes" or
"No" on the question of whether
or not NSA will be OK'd on the
campus.

Close Escapes
Squeak, squeak, squeak!

tember 23, 1869.
The building, which was the
original and only university build
ing, cost $128,480, which was $28,
480 more than the original esti
mate and only after great con
troversy was it decided that it be
built.
Completed in 1871t jt was in
spected and pronounced unsafe
for use.
The building narrowly escaped
destruction when an argument
followed over whether or not it
should be torn down. It was ex
amined, finally repaired and
classes commenced.
The next narrow escape came
in 1873 when rumors of its in
security prompted the decision
that it be torn down and rebuilt
for about $60,000. Lincoln resi
dents opposed the decision and
summoned more architects to in
vestigate, but the building was
left standing.

Anderson Says
His Candidacy
Due to Students
Dr. Albin T. Anderson, demo
cratic senatorial candidate held
an informal discussion with stu
dents last night at the Pioneer
Coop House. He answered ques
tions brought up by the students.
During his talk preceeding the
discussion Anderson stated: "My
candidacy is not anything I
sought. My candidacy is the pro
duct of the enthusiasm and en
ergy of just a few students who
happen to have a little political
insight."
Dr. Anderson was asked if he
thought it desirable to reduce
federal expenditures. He an
swered by saying that it was not
possible to reduce federal expen
ditures because modern times do
not allow a smaller budget.

receive support from older Demo
