To Install
New Darkroom
Additional facilities for the
three campus publications re
ceived a shot in the arm Friday
when plans for a darkroom in the
Rag office were formulated.
The propo.m d plans were passed
at a meeting of the Publication.,
board Friday afternoon.
The darkroom will be situated
in what is now the business of
fice of The Daily Nebraskan. New
business facilities will be built in
the southwest corner of the Ra?
oliii e, in much the same manner
as Hie Corn Shucks office.
Latest Equipment
Axrding to Bruce Nicoll, fac
ulty advisor to campus publica
tions, the darkroom will be
stocked with all the latest equip
ment and will make possible the
developing, printing, and enlarg
ing of all pictures taken by Rag.
Cornhusker and Corn Shucks
photographers.
Construction is expected to be
gin sometime around Christmas
vacation. It is hoped, said Nichol,
that both the darkroom and the
new business office will be fin
ished by the first of the year.
The action for the darkroom
stemmed from the present diffi
culties of developing pictures in
Burnett hall. Because of the over
crowded classes in photography,
Rag photographers have found it
almost impossible to develop pic
tures in time for publication. The
new darkroom is expected t al
leviate this situation.
