Page 8 Afeiv Structures, Improvements Hark eventli Year By KAY NOSKY Editor (This is the first in a series of articles summing up the progress of the Univer sity's building program, including both prelects which have been finished and prel ects which are only aow in their begin ning stages.) A dream for a bigger and bet ter University that was probably in the minds of University offi cials who occupied the first building and taught the first classes and has never lost im petus in the minds of some, has begun to materialize with , re newed enthusiasm under the University's present building program. Seven years ago, the 1947 Legislature made possible the program by instituting a builing prpgram by instituting a building The levy is a tax on all real property based on 1.1 mills. The tax was to be in effect for 10 years. " THE UNIVERSITY'S share of this levy was set up as .4 of one mill, which brings in $1, 250,000 per year or a total of $12,500,000 for the ten years. With this money, the Univer sity, under the direction of a six-man committee selected by the Board of Regents in 1945, has not only expanded the Unr versity physical plant with new buildings and additions, but has continued to maintain and reno vate present buildings. Chairman of the building com mittee is Carl S. . Fullbrook, dean of the College of Business Ad ministration. Other members are John K. Selleck, chancellor; M. L. Baker, professor of ani mal husbandry; R. W. Goss, dean of the Graduate College; Charles F. F vler, director of the division of buildings and grounds, and Linus Burr Smith, chairman of the department of architecture. e T111S COMMITTEE spent an entire year visiting every buua ing of the University from Omaha to Scottsbluff to look over the needs .of the physical plant before planning allocations of me fuiffl. Trie group men ' asked the dean of each eoliege to submit a written report giv ing the needs of that college. According to a report of the building committee made early this year, at the close of 1953 the University had received from the Institutional Building Levy $6,821,997, of which $6,075,978.38 had been spent for major con struction projects and purchase of land, -for building repairs and Improvements and for deferred maintenance and purchase of equipment. THESE INCLUDE such pro jects as Ferguson Hall, the elec trical engineering building dedi , cated three years ago; cornple- tion of the fourth floor of Love Library which was left as an attic when the building was com Gray To Give Main Address At Medical College Exercises The lone recipient of an hon orary degree will also be com mencement speaker at the Uni versity College of Medicine an nual commencement exercises at 3:00 p.m., Saturday, June 12, at Omaha's Joslyn Memorial.

The College of Agriculture has received a number of new build ings including the Swine Re search Building, the Agronomy Building, the Dairy Barn Milking Laboratory and the Insectory and Meat Laboratory, which . have both just been finished and will be put into use next fall. At the College of Medicine in Omaha, the University built the Psychiatric Hospital which will also go into use next fall, rebuilt the nursery and practically re built the power plant there. Other projects on the city campus have been the paving of T Street and area and the com plete renovation of the city campus power plant and con struction of a power line from the city campus to ag campus. . ONE OF the biggest projects of the building committee is the development of the northeast campus extension program. Under this program, the Uni versity has purchased land stretching from the girls' athletic field through the new dormitory area to land between 15th and 14th Streets north of S Street. At this time, one piece of land in that area, on 14th Street across from Andrews Hall, has not been purchased by the University. Tn addition to maior projects, a great share of the building fund has been used toward the renovation and modernization of the entire University physical plant throughout Nebraska. Nearly every building on campus has received some sort of face lifting, from wiring and lights to ceiling and floor improve ments. . According to Chancellor Sellerk. the Buildine committee felt that unless the University could maintain the buildings tnat it now has, they could not at tempt to build new ones. AT THE END of 1953. $5,445.- 01 8. 89. including funds that had already been collected and funds that will be collected in the next three years, had not yet been allocated About $1 million of this will be used for three more years of deferred maintenance and repairs. Three main projects now in active work will take up the maioritv of this fund. Construc tion workers started last week on the new Teachers College. Hign bcnooi at tne gins atnietic field. Plans for the new pharm acy building, which will be lo cated on newly acquired land where Uni Drug now stands, are in the hands of architects. Also in its beginning stages is the Administration Annex, which will be built onto the. Teachers gree from Lafayette College. He is a member of numerous pro fessional and scientific groups, and in 1941 vas awarded a gold medal by the American Medical Association. Also receiving degrees will be 135 medical, nursing ard tech nology graduates of the College of Medicine. St. Louis Faculty Adds NU Student Charles I. Singh has been named to the faculty of St. Louis University, it has been an nounced by the school. Singh is currently working on his Doctor of Philosophy degree here. Singh, who was born in Bom by, India, will serve as a geogra phy instructor. He received his B.A. from the University of Bombay in 1935; his B. S. from the University of Utah in 1943; his B.E. from Cap ital City college of Washington. D.

Construction of the annex will start late in the fall. THE NEW mens' dormitory, although not built with Institu tional Building Levy funds, has been perhaps the largest single project on campus. The Univer sity sold $2 million worth of revenue bonds to finance con struction. These will be paid for by income from rentals. The dormitories to, be named Sel leck's Quadrangle, will be used for the first time next fall. Even after the collection of funds from the levy ends in 1956, the building committee would like to turn to plans for buildings such a Student Health Center to replace the temporary building, a new music building, and new speech and dramatic art building and a new girl's gym. A quest! :on in the minds of the committee members now is whether or not a similar fund will be set up in three years, when provisions for the Institu tional Building Levy end.
