She called one of the staff's gentlemen, who

Refused

The board of directors of the
Lincoln Chamber of Commerce
has decided against deeding its
four-story building at 11th and P
to the University.
In return for this the Chamber
of Commerce was to have been
allowed to use its administrative
offices on the second floor rent
free for 25 years.
The University had shown inter
est in using the third and fourth
floors for the operation of the Uni
versity's television station, KUON
TV. Robert Slater, publicity director
of KUON-TV, said that at the pres
ent time the station has no defi
nite plans. He stated that the sta
tion hadn't really planned on tak
ing over the Chamber's third and
fourth floors. For the present time
KUON-TV will continue to use the
facilities at KOLN, Slater said.
This was the third special board
meeting in which the Chamber was
considering the recommendation of
a special committee headed by
Carl Ganz. The committee, ap
pointed in 1953, has been explor
ing the cost of operating the Cham
ber building. The Chamber built
the structure in 1913 at the cost
ot $150,000.
The Ganz report stated that the
cost of maintaining the building
is so high that it would be eco
nomically advantageous for the
Chamber to cease operating and
owning its own building. j
In the report to the directors,
Chairman Ganz stated that the
group felt that the organization
could get along without the din
ing room and recreation facilities
now provided by the building.
The beard rejected this recom
mendation and voted that the
Chamber's building committee ex
plore ways and means of greater
utilization of the building with the
Chamber retaining ownership.
President Hale stated that the
board of directors didnt see how
the different groups of the Cham
ber could function without the
space. He said that the dining
room was needed as it now is used
for luncheon meetings and other
such functions.

GOP Accused Of 'Hate Mongering'
Adlai Stevenson has charged that certain members of the Repub
lican party are resorting to "hate mongering" in their politics.
Stevenson stated that American people should say nothing which
will hurt democracy's chances abroad. To this he added: "And the
politics of hate mongering even blights democracy's future here at
home.'
Stevenson said be was referring here to Secretary of Agriculture
Ezra Benson's atiempt to blame the farmer's current depression on
the city worker's wage increase and the chairman of the Republican
Senatorial Committee's charge that labor leaders have organized a
conspiracy to take over tlhe federal government.

International House may be a
possible site for a University fac
ulty club, Dr. A. C. Breckenridge,
dean of faculties, said Thursday.
The house, 1520 R, will be re
moved from the present dormitory
system uid the residents will be
housed in a $600,000 addition to the
Residence Halls for Women upon
its completion in 1957.
International House was formerly
the Phi Mu house and was brought
by the University and made a part
of the dormitory system in 1944.
At present, 33 women students
live in International House.
, "Plans for organization of a fac
ulty club, under discussion here for
years, usually bogged down be
cause of the difficulty in finding a
place for it," Breckenridge said.
If the International House build
ing were to be used for a faculty
club, it would need considerable
renovation, he said.
The faculty now has no facilities
for gatherings except the Union,
which is crowded by student activi
ties. The faculty needs an outlet
like the students have at the Un
ion, Breckenridge said.
