Both Miss Worcester and Smith
are newcomers to the University

AgAgronomy
Building Plan
Announced
A fivp vear dream of the Ag
college is about to become a re
ality. Plans for the new Agronomy
building on Ag have been com
pleted by the building committee
of the University and the Agron
rtment. according to
Charles W. Fowler, director of
buildings and grounds.
Buleprints by Commerical Artist
Mr. Fowler stated that he is
now attempting to place the plans
in the hands of a commercial
architect who will draw up the
final blueprints.
"I hope architect's plans will be
complete in time to take bids next
spring," he said.
Building: to Start in Summer
If this is possible, the build
ing committee contemplates that
construction will get under way
next summer, he said. It will take
approximately one and one half
years to complete the structure.
Funds for the construction of
the building are now available,
he said. The cost of the new
building will be 850,000 dollars;
$100,000 of this will be equipment.
U Shaped Building:
The building committee is plan

there is a source in Russia itself.
He said the American scientists
who completed the bomb for this
country estimated in 1945 that it
would take five years for the
Russians to complete their re
search. It is now four years later.
He concluded with the remark,
"One thing I'd like to know: How

'Potsy' Terms Dad's Day
Tribute to State Fathers
"Dad's Day is a tribute to
fathers of Nebraska students who
are often forgotten in the rush
of college life."
Those are the words of Athletic
Director George "Potsy" Clark,
who encourages students to have
their father's attend Saturday's
game with Minnesota.
"Potsy" added, "The interest
of the dads is shown by the fact
that 32 fathers of football team
members will be here for the
game. I believe the interest of
the fathers is just as great in
sons who are in school for studies
alone."
Gustavson to Attend
Clark, along with Chancellor
Gustavson, will welcome the dads
at the luncheon to be held at the
Union Saturday morning. The
dinner will start at 11:30 a. m.,
and will be over at 1 p. m. This
will give those attending ample
time to get to the Stadium.
Tickets for the lunch will be
on sale in the Union this week.
The eaDacitv of the dining room
is limited and only 300 can be
served. The tickets, on sale at
$1.25 per plate, will be sold on
a first come, first served basis.
Any male or female student can
bring their father.
The luncheon, first held since
1934, will give the fathers a
chance to personally meet the
chancellor and Clark, got together
informally, and get a closer look
at the college life of their chil
dren. The Innocents, sponsors of the
banquet, believe that since the
fathers are in a position, as tax
payers, to influence the school's
policy, the students should make
an effort to honor them on one
special day.
Fraternities and sororities are
urged to make a special effort to
to show the fathers an interest
ing time Saturday. Some are
planning open houses on that
date.
Game Tickets Available.
Tickets for the game are still
available with single seats in the
stadium and reserved bleacher
seats left. The Stadium seats are
priced at $3.50 and the bleacher
seats at $2.50.
Thursday Noon Deadline.
Reservations for the luncheon
must be made by Thursday noon,
stresses Innocent President Merle
Stalder. This is necessary in
nrHpr that the number to be
served will be known in plenty
of time.

Dance Originated in '43
Originated in 1943 as a service
for ASTP students stationed at
the University, the "Hello dance''
has become one of the main social
activities of the year for indepen

year was Jean Blaha. She will
present the new "Hello Girl" at
the dance.
BABW wishes to stress the fact
