Records Join Shakespeare
On Shelves of City Library
BY JOAN KRUEGER
No longer do William Shakes-
Eeare and his contemporaries
ave a monoply at the Lincoln
City library.
Starting the first of March,
Chopin and Beethoven and their
fellow composers, joined the
shelves of the building formerly
monopolized entirely by litera
ture. Rather than the customary
books or magazines that libraries
generally are known to check
out, the new record department
at the Lincoln library checks
out albums of phonograph rec
ords. Headed by Mrs. Wilber
Gaffney, wife of Wilber Gaff
ney, instructor of English at the
University, the collection has
grown to include 110 albums
since its beginning two months
ago.
The unusual part of the lend
ing, points out Mrs. Gaffney, is
that at least 50 per cent of thf
borrowers are University stu
dents. The library took a sur
vey recently to determine just
who checked out the records.
Upon examining the cards, Mrs.
Gaffney found that one half
were - students, all University
ones, except one from Wesleyan
and two from high school.
Borrowers
The other persons varied from
a professor and a minister, to a
postal clerk.
Mostly classical works are
found in the collection, but there
are some albums of Stephen Fos
ter and one folk album. Others
Include works of Cole Porter,
Morton Gould, Victor Herbert,
the "Red Shoes" and "South Pa
cific" music. N
More than a dozen long play
ing albums are a part of the
collection, points out Mrs. Gaff
ney. One record that might hold
special interest for University
students, stated Mrs. Gaffney, is
the recording of the University
NU Masquers

May 20, at the Continental cafe.
The program which will con

Two actors and two actresses
of the University theater will be

when they receive the "Oscar"
awards presented annually at the
banquet. These trophies are
sponsored by the University
theater.
Described by the theater as
"more significant," the awards
this year are new and original
They were recently designed and
fashioned by students in the art
department. They will replace
the former "Oscar" trophies
which were always purchased
fivm jewelers.
A statue, chosen from a
total of a dozen models, was de--signed
by Harold Roberts, a stu
dent in Mrs. Nash's sculpturing
class. From this model has been
cast the new polished bronze
statue which is symblematic of
theatrical achievement.
The four awards to given are
"Best Actor," "Best Actress,"
"Best Supporting Actor," and
"Best Supporting Actress."
Winners in previous years
were:
In 1946-47 -Margaret Huff,
Gladys Jackson, Rex Coslor and

Schultz, Jack Wenstrand, and
Gay Marr.
In 1948-49 Margaret Button.

RECORD DEPARTMENT Mrs. Wilber Gaffney, head of the Lin-
library record lending division, checks out a album to the first
borrower, Bob Otnes, University student.
symphony orchestra of "The
"Carnival of the Animals." It was
recorded last fall by Ed Down
of Lincoln. The library prob
ably will have a recording of
the last orchestra concert, also,
maintained the director.
Number of Albums
The record department was
started on a shoestring, claims
Mrs. Gaffney. "We started with
38 albums, all gifts." The last
20 albums in the collection were
donated by H. S. Brooks, Lin
coln, who owns a collection of
more than 2,000 records. The
present collection numbers 110
albums.
Mrs. Gaffney explained also
that the library has some 150
single records that are not yet
ready to be checked out. They
will be put on the shelves when
appropriate folders are made for
all of them. Some of these, said
Mrs. Gaffney, are probably, col
lector's items. The first gift in
cluded some of Carouso's works
and date back to 1915.
Two in Nebraska
A lot of ' libraries throughout
the country now have record li
braries, Mrs. Gaffney pointed
out. "It seems to be a grow
ing thing," she said. The only
other one in Nebraska is at Falls
City. Although it is about ten
years old, they have only as
many albums as does the Lin
coln library after two months
of operations. Omaha is plan
ning to start a similar depart
ment soon.
Labor Department Forecasts
Employment Outlook 'Good'
Employment opportunities in
many fields continue to look
good according to the depart
ment of labor.
Nurses will continue to be in
demand for many years since
an acute shortage all over the
country exists. The heavy de
mand is caused by the combina
tion of a number of factors: an
increase in the number of hos
pitals, the popularity of hospi
talization insurance plans, and
an increase in the number of
aged in the country.
In such a large and expanding
field, employment possibilities
for newly graduated nurses and
opportunities for advancement
to positions of responsibilty for
those with experience are good.
Bizad Openings
The largest single field open
to business administration
graduates is in the management
and operation of business firms.
The great rise in training in
business has made collegiate
business education the second
iargest field after teacher train
ing, placing it ahead of engi
neering, agriculture, law, and
medicine.
Several factors affect the long
range employment outlook for
students in this field: the growth
of business administration em
ployment, heavy replacement
needs expected over the corning
years, and increasing use of
business administration gradu
ates to fill these jobs.
The trend, toward greater spe
cialization and Increased com
plexity in business has led to
the wider use of such specialized

Mrs. Gaffney continued to
point out that University stu
dents who have record collec
tions, and are unable to travel
with them, could donate them to
the department. With tht end oi
the school year, many students
will wonder what to do with
some of their albums, and the
library would be very glad to
accept any works that students
would wish to give, she said.
"One thing we lack," says Mrs.
Gaffney, "is a good up-to-date
record player." She has not even
heard all the records in the col
lection. The first record album loaned
from the collection was to a Uni
versity student. Bob Otnes. He
was also the first donor to the
library.
One Week Period
The albums are checked out
one at a time for a one week
period. Many students find,
after playing them at their
homes, that they like them well
enough to purchase their own.
Some of the records included
are:
"Rhapsody in Blue," Gersh
win; waltzes by Strauss; "Over
ture," Rossini; "New World Sym
phony," Dvorak; Beethoven's
-oncertos; Irish songs by Melton;
"Nutcracker Suite," Tchaikov
sky; compositions by Chopin:
Rachmaninoff's concertos; and
albums by Grieg, Debussy,
Brahms, Bach, Rodgers, Liszt,
Rimsky-Korsakov, Wagner, Mo
zart, Haydn, Franck and others.
workers as accountants, person
nel workers, market research
analysts, and sales executives.
Executives
The main source of new job
opportunities for graduates of
business schools will be In the
replacement of executives now
employed as they die or retire
from business.
Pharmacy graduates are ex
pected to have good employment
prospects for several years. The
outlook for the entire pharma
ceuti"al profession is dominated
by the prospects in retail drug
stores. Employment is expected
to increase rapidly during the
next few years in hospital phar
macies also. Manufacturing and
wholesaling opportunities will
also increase.
Graduate chemists will find
increasing difficulty to obtain
positions with only a bachelors
degree. However, chemists with
ood training, particularly .those
with doctorates, should continue
to have good prospects in the
next few years.
Federal Workers
Employment in the chemical
manufacturing industries and
jobs in government research arc
expected to remain at a high
level.
New graduates who seek to
enter newspaper reporting are
likely to face stiff competition
for jobs in the early 1950's. The
reporting field Is likely to be
come more overcrowded in the
next year or two. There will
however be some openings ow
ing to turn-over.
Some expansion In employ
ment is expected with the labor
press, religious press, foreign
language papers, trade associa
tion papers, and country papers.
Fields related to newspaper
work will continue to take on
some new journalism graduates
and also absorb a number of
experienced reporters each year,
thus increasing replacement
needs on newspapers.
There are Indications that the
advertising, public relations, ra
dio and book-publishing fields
will use greater numbers with
ioumallstic experience in years
to come.

Authors of Past 'Cornhuskers9
Include Well-Known
Some of today's most distin
guished alumni of the Univer
sity helped prepared the 1895
Sombrero, forerunner of the
Cornhusker.
The yearbook included a num
ber of signed articles and spe
cial literary section. Willa Catha,
who was an associate editor,
wrote the prize story, "The Fear
that Walks by Noonday." Co
author' was prep student Dor
othy Canfield, daughter of Uni
versity chancellor, James H.
Canfield.
Louise Pound, now professor
emeritus- of English, published
an account of a women's drill
moo
company, organizea m 1000,
which marched along with male
students on several occasions.
Another of the articles ap--.pnrinf?
in the book is entitled
"The Rape of the Type." It told
i of the eariy fights between the
j litprnrv societies over the Hes-

1899 Sombrero
In the, 1899 Sombrero, editors
estimated that there were about
200 members in the three liter
ary societies, while the 12 fra
ternities and five sororities
could claim about 300 students.
Appropriate quotations accom
panied names and pictures in
the class sections.
Several pages were given to
the University's U. S. volunteers
in the Spanish-American war.
Among the organizations fea
tured were the girls' basketball
team, the oratorical and debat
ing associations and the Persh
ine Rifles.
Considerable space toward the
back of the volume was devoted
to jokes, short essays and poems,
of which the following is a fair
sample:
The V. of N. Pin Girl
She wore his frat pin o'er her
htfert
Her own unon her collar,
And her Yale and Princeton
stick-pins
Came from him, I'll bet a dol
lar But what made her so popular
The' cause is plain to see
For thare among her other
pins
She wears a TNE.

Star Gazers' Dream-
Roof -Top Observatory
BY JERRY BAILEY.
"In Ferguson Hall by next
Fall!"
That's the motto, not only of
engineers, but of the more se
rious star gazers of the Univer
sity. For next fall, the astron
omy and celestial navigation
classes hope to be established
in and on top of the newest
building on campus. '
The star-gazers will have no
complaints about being moved
out of the lath and stucco "As
tronomical Observatory" that
perches precariously on the edge
of 10th Street. In a typically
scientific manner, Prof. Oliver C.
Collins, who runs the show, has
already planned how he is going
to use the space alloted him in
Ferguson. With straight-edge
and pencil he has planned where
he is going to put his desks, files,
and assorted paraphenalia.
On the roof of Ferguson Hall
will go the University's 12-inch
telescope. "All I need is four

Through these and other writ
ings in early Cornhuskers it is
clear that, although there may
be no" place like Nebraska, the
college people who make up its
population do not differ too
much from year to year in their
attitude toward activities, Social
organizations, athletic events
and the matter of education.
walls and a roof under me," says
Professor Collins. All he wants
overhead is a skyfull of stars.
Oxford Grad
Professor Collins, Department
of mathematics and astronomy,
is an Oxford graduate and an
Englishman from way back. He
came to America, sort of reverse
lend-lease, shortly after World
War I. He has the Englishman's
typical quiet humor.
He has about 60 '..students in
his classes, and given room in
which to put them, would wel
come more. His classes are the
only ones that time their meet
ings by when the sun sets. Once
the stars are out, it's good-by
classroom and "out telescopes!"
During the 30's, WPA labor
built a small observatory on the
Ag campus. It was used for a
couple of years or so, until it's
delicate mechanism was knocked
out of kilter. Following that,,
astronomy classes used to meet
on grassy hillsides outside of
town. When the astronomy de
partment bus broke down, that
too was ended. Recent classes
have operated from the ground
on the city campus.
Roof-bound
"We have to dodge around
buildings to find stars," reports
Collins. "We'll be glad to get up
on that roof."
A newcomer to the department
will be surprised at the various
types of equipment about. Star
maps, globes, planispheres, and
a number of gadgets strange to
a layman lie about. A class as
signment might read, "'Locate
precisely Saturn and Mars, with
specific identification of each."
Here the student will learn Ursa
Major from Ursa Minor, hear
names like Sagittauras and Betel
geuse, and woe to the one who
mistakes Mars for Sirius!
The classes balance about
50-50 between the sexes, accord
ing to Professor Collins. Some of
the male students even show up
to night classes with girl friends.
They sit on the grass and point
out stars. "You know," remarks
the professor, "it makes a good
line when the boy can tell his
girl the names of the stars!"
Collins is quick to point out
that stars are useful for more
purposes than flirtation. Celes
tial navigation is an essential
part of education for naval and
air force navigators.
Space Age Next
With the air age firmly estab
lished, the space age may be
next. V-2 and Viking rockets
point to things to come, with a
weekend on the moon or a trip
to Mars now in the realm of
possibility. One who deals with
the stars can't have his imagina
tion earth-bound, as Professor
Collins has proved. He recently
read a paper before the Nebraska
Academy of Science, which dealt
with problem of extra-terrene
navigation.
Does anyone want to rush over
and register for Astronomy 70 In
September?
