Building Starts
On University's
Carillon Tower
Add to sure signs of Spring:
work is beginning on the Muel
ler Carillon tower!
University workmen began on
Monday to build a wooden icnq
around the site of the proposed
structure between Bessey and
Morrill halls on the north-south
mall.
AS WARMER weather ap
proaches, construction will begin
on the $85,000 80th anniversary
gift. Ralph S. Mueller of Cleve
land, O., donated money for the
tower last fall.
Contracts for construction were
let in January to the Olson Con
struction company of Lincoln.
Completion is expected about mid
summer this year, when the tower
will be presented to the Univer
sity by the University Founda
tion. TO BE KNOWN as the Ralph
Mueller Tower, the structure will
be octagon of buff Bedford stone
and will stand 83 feet high. Its
chimes will operate by means of
electronics and may be played
manually or automatically. The
sound will be amplified to cover
a wide area.
Mueller was a graduate of the
University in 1838 and is a native
of Council Bluffs, Iowa. He re
ceived a bachelor of science de
gree in 1898. and since 1904 has
resided in Cleveland where he is
president of the Mueller Electric
company.

Weatherman-Nix!
Spring, according to the alma
nacs, reached Lincoln at precisely
4:49 p. m. Sunday.
It was in the air windy though
the outdoors was and it stuck
around for a couple of hours.
During the brief time drug store
owners dug out last year's supply
of sun-tan oil in preparation for
the annual run . , . English profs
winked and resigned themselves
perhaps not too regretfully to
12 weeks of combined romantic
poet: y and physiology . . . Even
the sower, in his limited space
atop the capitol, did setting-up
exercises.
Then "something goshawfully
powerful and peculiarly Nebras
kan interfered. Monday when
morning came in moist and misty,
weather-weary people wondered
just what was happening. The
pessimists croaked, through reoe
curring colds, "When'U it ever be
spring now? NOBODY knows!"
