The third floor of the hall was removed as a result of the fire which started in the film storage room, Donaldson, said. To prevent fire, several night watchmen at the Uni versity inspect the buildings regularly. A schedule is worked out so that the halls are inspected several times each night. Clocks located in separate ends of the buildings and on different floors must be punched by the watchman when he makes his inspec tion.

Regular Inspections Made Regular fire inspection of University b u i 1 d i n g s is made both by a University safety committee and by the state fire marshal. "It is good to have some one from the outside check," said Donaldson, "because they often see things that we have grown used to seeing." "Older buildings are less fire resistant than the new," the business manager com mented. Wooden roofs on some of the older buildings are a Annual Concert Features Four Student Soloists University Singers will pre sent their annual Christmas Carol Concert Sunday at 3 and 4:30 p.m. in the Union Ballroom.

Three Cadets Complete Solos Morris Ochsner, Guy Sapp and Pat McGarraugh were the first three cadets to make solo flights in the Army ROTC flight training program, at Ar row Airport Tuesday.

After completing the course and successfully passing the Civil Aeronautics test, the cadets will receive private licenses and will be qualified for furth er training in light aircraft helicopters in the Army. This is the second year the training has been offered. The 12 cadets began their training in October after passing an examination and being quail- 8 p m. in the Union. fire hazard, he said. Temporaries Troublesome The temporary buildings were cited by Donaldson as presenting problems in fire prevention, as was Nebras ka Hall. Nebraska Hall is scheduled to be torn down within the next year. Five of the original temporary buildings have been torn down and one is no longer in use. The barn-type buildings on Ag campus are "always a danger," said Donaldson, as are things like chemicals in a building. The Temple Building had a wooden floor and steps leading to the fire escape. Two additional fire escapes were added to the building this year, said the business manager, by request of the fire marshal. Orders Followed "Where ever we bar been told to put on fire ex tinguishers we put them on," Donaldson commented. A regular University fir inspection crew checks the extinguishers periodically and records the time of in spection on a card attached to the extinguisher. Some extinguishers are tested by using them and then refill ing them, he said. "If a student ever has oc casion to use a fire extin guisher," Donaldson cau tioned, "he should tall the department of buildings and grounds and tell them." "Never hang a used fir extinguisher back in place," he warned. Tax-Built Buildings Uninsured Legislation Needed To Replace If University buildings should be damaged by fire, provisions have been made to replace them, said Carl Don aldson, University business manager. The University, as a state institution, does not carry ffireinsnrance on those build ings that were built with state tax money. Special Session Should a building be de stroyed by fire, the state legis lature would probably meet in special session to allocate funds to replace the hall, Don aldson said. This is in keeping with the practice of the state, he added. None of state property is cov ered with fire insurance. Campus buildings that wer financed by a bond issue are covered by fire insurance, the business managed said. Insur ance ewers both the buildings and their contents. Union Included The Men's and Women's Residence Halls, the Student Union, the Field House and the Colliseum are among the buildings that fall in this cate gory. "You. can replace buildings but you can't replace people," Donaldson said, speaking of the responsibility of the Uni versity. Even if no persons am hurt by the fire, a lot of changes must be made when one oc curs, he said. For Instance, classes must be rescheduled in temporary quarters. Many hours ef in struction are often lost, ho added. TV Show To Concern Constitution A special program on th constitution, entitled "Deci sion," will be presented Fri day at 7:30 p.m. on Channel 12. To be studied on the pro gram is the question, "If membership on the U.S. Su preme Court Is determined by other branches of the govern ment, how can the tribunal exercise the ultimate power to void laws enacted by Con gress and signed by the Pres ident?" The half-hour program, nar rated by radio commentator Robert Trout, draws on his toric film from the National Archives and other sources to illustrate the conflict among the various components of the Constitution. Presented by the Educa tional Television and Radio Center, this program is one of six in the "Decision" se ries. Others will be broadcast by the educational network early in 1959.
