Nothing New
On Activity
Ticket Mixup
All Students Will
Get Tickets-Lew
By Frank Mize.
Amid rumors of future riots,
and east stadium activity ticket
going at $50.00 a crack, A. J.
Lewandowsk! announced today
that there are "no new develop
ments." Lewandowski said that all stu
dent orders will be filled and
that additional choice aisle and
stairway seats will go on sale at
9 o'clock this morning.
Two hundred students are des
tined to view the Iowa State con
test from behind the goal lines.
This group, including the Tri
Delt and Sigma Kappa sororities,
have "seats in the bleachers be
cause their seats have been sold
out. Several hundred other stu
dents will be seated in the bal
cony. Seven thousand seats had been
reserved for students. However,
sales now total 8,431 and sales
open again this morning for stu
dents who didn't apply for tickets
before the Saturday deadline.
Among the seats in the east sta
dium, 2,000 of the best ones were
for public sale.
This situation is not new on
the Nebraska campus. In 1937,
students' wives forced cancella
tion of many public season tickets.

New EE Building Will
Realize 36-Year Dream
. .
By Emily Heine.
At 9:30 Saturday morning when
Prof. O. J. Ferguson, for 25 years
dean of the. university College of
engineering and architecture, turns
a spade of dirt northwest of old
ing a dream of many years stand
University Hall, he will be realiz
ing. By that act he will launch
O. J. FERGUSON
the construction of the new $600,
000 Electrical Engineering build
ing the final result of at least 20
different plans prepared over a
period of 36 years.
Building: to Occupy U Hall Site.
The site of the new building, on
ground formerly occupied by Uni
versity hall and the old electrical
engineering lab, holds many mem
ories for Professor Ferguson. As
? university student, he took his
irst courses in these two build
ings now being razed. Through
the years as he taught in the E. E.
lab he has seen the graduating
class grow from 12 or 15 students
to the 354 senior engineers en
rolled today.
As he performs the brief cere-
One of the finest buildings of
its kind in the world, the new Ne
braska Swin Research Center,
will be officially dedicated in cer
emonies to be held Friday.
Located at 74th and Adams, the
three-story structure will repre
sent the first decent shelter for
swine projects since 1927. During
that year, the old hog barns were
torn down to make room for the
Dairy barn. Since then the swine
research has been carried on in
out-door sheds and the serum
plant.
Much of the designing of the
modern structure was planned by
Dr. L. E. Hansen, under advise
ment of a construction engineer.
Dr. Hansen has been carrying on
research in swine nutrition since
he came to Nebraska in 1944. He
has done much toward the realiza
tion of the new building.
"The Swine Research Center is
a memorial representing the faith
of Nebraska people in research as
a method of bettering their main
profession farming," says Dr.
Hansen. He estimates that Ne
braska farmers could realize abou
two million dollars in added prof
its through better feeding prac
tices alone.

Total Enrollment
To Top '47 Mark
Total enrollment in the Uni
versity of Nebraska is expected
to exceed that of last year, ac
cording to Dr. G. W. Rosenlof,
director of admissions.
Late comers are still regis
tering, but when they are fin
ished the total number of stu
dents will probably exceed 10,
000. Ferguson Launcbes Work
mony, he can think with pride of
the Nebraska Engineering depart
ment, whose graduates are recog
nized all over the country for
their ingenuity and adaptability,
knowing that now the university
is in a position to train many
more of them. And altho he him
self will never teach in the new
building, which will require two
years for completion, he can feel
that at last an engineering build
ing is coming into being that can
adequately serve the state.
Old Lab Built in 1893.
The old E. E. lab was built in
1893 to take care of a carload of
electrical engineering machinery
that Professor Owens, then de
partment head, had bought in Chi
cago at the close of the Colum
bian Exposition. It was the first
building on the University cam
pus wholly devoted to engineer
ing. Plans for the new building in
dicate that it will be an imposing
structure, combining the latest
equipment with well-planned,
modern laboratories. Inside the
main entrance will be a lobby
from which a fine view of the
power lab can be had. Computing
rooms will replace many of the
classrooms.
Green Sends Invitations.
Dean Roy M. Green, who suc
ceeded Professor Ferguson as head
of the college, said special invita
tions have been sent to the Board
of Regents; the university build
ing committee; Carl Olson, con
tractor; Ellery Davis, architect;
Prof. J. S. Blackman, engineering
executive board adviser; Morton
Steinhart, Nebraska City, presi
dent, and Fritz T. Daly, secretary,
of the Nebraska Alumni associa
tion; Perry W. Branch, director
secretary of the University Foun
dation, and all faculty of the college.
Frosh Hop Ticket Peddlers
Confronted By Price Error
Innocents and Union Board members, hardened by previous
"typographical errors" in The Daily Ncbraskan, quietly explained
to students Wednesday that the price of "Frosh Hop" tickets were 75
cents each, not 50 cents as reported in the "Daily", but that a 75 cent
"Frosh Hop" ticket was still a good bargain.
Innocents to Present Trophies
Another feature of the dance, it was learned last night, will be
the presentation of the activity-scholarship trophies to last year's
winners. These awards, given to the organized men's houses rating
highest in both scholarship and extra-curricular activities, have not
as yet been presented formally to the winners by the Innocents So
ciety, which makes the awards annually.
Houses which will be honored at the dance will be Alpha Gamma
Rho, winner of the over-all cup and the trophy for first plate on Ag
campus, and Phi Kappa Psi, winner of the city campus trophy.
Frosh to Receive Activity Information.
To assure each freshman attending the dance a chance of finding
out anything he wishes to know about university activities, informa
tion booths will be set up at each end of the hallway adjacent to the
Union ballroom. If the booth-keepers, members of Kosmct Kub and
Corn Cobs are unable to answer any qi estions asked of them, they
will take the student's names and questions and see to it that the
students are given the answers shortly thereafter.
Smith-Warren Band to Play for Hop "
The Smith-Warren band will play for the hop. The intermission
show, a fast-moving skit which deals with and ribs mercilessly
activities, will begin at 10:30.
Tickets are now on sale at the Innocents booth in the Union.
Since the ballroom has limited capacity (and thus limiting ticket
sales), freshmen are urged to buy their tickets as soon as possible.
