Violins, Formaldeyhyde, Elevator
Each Campus Building
Has Special Personality
By Sondra Whalen .
Some smell of formaldeyhyde, another
radiates the sounds of violins, but each
campus building has a personality of its
own.
The source of violin music, and many
other kinds of music as well, is the Music
building, located on the southeast corner
of 11 St R sts. From" outside the building
it is possible to hear the high "A" of a
soprano intermingled with a drum solo
plus a first-year trumpet player struggling
through the scale.
Bake Sale Inside
Inside, fudge and brownies may be be
ing peddled as a music honorary holds a
bake sale. Corridors are marked with
cream-colored walls and doors, and the
inside of an office will contian a piano
more often than a desk.
Sounds, too, might identify Bessey Hall,
but the music would more likclv be that
of crowing roosters or the scream of a girl
who is cutting open her first frog.
The smell of formaldeyhyde is potent
and blends with the scent of boiling chem
icals and drying branches and plants. Bot
tles, microscopes and gas jets line each
room of this science building.
Econ and Art
Economics students climb over art ma
jors to get to a ten o'clock class in Morrill
Hall. The paint smell is everywhere, from
the newly constructed wildlife exhibits as
well as from the students' fresh paintings.
The young mix with the very old, as a
grade school tours the Hall of Dinosaurs.
Indian music can be heard from a juke box
on one wall.
Scholarship applications and advertise
ments for European study programs adorn
bulletin boards in Burnett Hall. Mum
blings come from the Spanish and French
labs where 40 students listen to an instruc
tor through pilot-like earphones.
Harried Atmosphere
Tuesdays finds a harried atmosphere on
third floor as wild-eyed journalism stu
dents struggle through their five hour
class by consuming gallons of coffee,
chain smoking and covering the floor with
wads of teletype copy.
Newness distinguishes Lyman Hall, one
of the few campus buildings with an ele
vator. A professional atmosphere prevails
as bacteriologists, pre-dental students and
pharmacists mix a new anti-biotic.
The second and third floors of Andrews
hold the similar atmosphere as dental stu
dents practice their knowledge.
Students Drill
Midst the smell of a doctor's office, in
structors walk quickly back and forth to
check the drilling of a student dentist.
Boxes of English themes mark first floor
as a last semester's grade list hangs from
one door. The coffee machine is the center
of activity crowded with the white jacket
ed dentists and casually-dressed students.
Drama reigns at Temple building, the
speech center. Bulletin boards advertise
shadow play tryouts and announce where
students may find play scrips.
"The Matchmaker March 11-14"
screams a freshly painted sign on the
floor while the radio station below beams
another broadcast.
Think of Moving
Phone Booths?
A University coed was be
ing given the old "I'll never
tell who's calling" routine
by the young man on the
phone.
When no amount of
wheedling would make the
anonymous caller disclose
his name, the young lady re
marked: "I don't know who you are
but I know you are a DU
because I can hear the
toilets flushing."
So much for the newest
fraternity house on campus.
Physical Exam

Razors Inactive, Beards Sprout For the Century
An increase in the number
oi musiacces ana beards on
the University scene seem to
indicate some students are
getting into the spirit of the

tion. ROTC won't be a hindrance
to the college man's growing
them, if he still keeps his
razor sharp.
All three ROTC depart
ments said that although they
were not endorsing beard or
mustache growing, a cadet
could grow a beard or mus
tache if he fulfilled certain
requirements in keeping it
trimmed and neat.
Radio KLIX, which is offer
ing a Hi-Fi set in one of two
Lincoln beard-growing con
tests, reported several Uni
versity students have enrolled
in me siaiion s contest.
Interview Schedule
Employment interviews will
be conducted on campus dur
ing the next two weeks by the
following firms and industrial
agents.
Students may sign up for
the interviews at the Occupa

Debate Question Reviewed
(Continued from Page 2)
slon which might be em
ployed in a nation's regular
armaments. This excludes
carriers. (Atomic subma
rine, airplane, etc.)
Should be prohibited
means ought to be stopped,
not necessarily will be. The
final term, international
agreement, means we are
proposing an agreement
which ought to be signed
by all nations of the world.
We feel clarification, if
necessary, will come about
as we present our affirma
tive contentions.
We feel a plan might be
necessary to insure that all
nations are meeting their
obligations under the agree
ment. For this reason we
propose that the agreement
encompass the following.
1. Immediate termina
tion of all testing
and development.
2. Inspection teams to
cover any areas of
sr.spected infrac
tion. 3. Supervision of source
materials and
peacetime develop
ment by the United
Nations.
This plan was presented
at the beginning of this de
bate so that the entire af
firmative case mi g h t be
considered in view of 'this
plan.
Therefore, let us turn di
rectly to the first reason
why the affirmative feels
that this resolution should
be adopted. Our first con
tention is:
Nuclear weapons develop
ment poses a health haz
ard. There are three reasons
for holding this view. The
first being, that any radia
tion is harmful to the hu
man body. No matter how
large or how small. The
amount of damage is direct
ly p r o p o r t i o n a 1 to the
amount of the dosage. More
over, repeated small doses
will have a cumulative af
fect. Secondly, nuclear devel
opment adds to this radia
tion.Obviously this comes
from the testing area of
development where radio
active fallout is dissemi
nated over the earth. This,
of course, adds directly and
proportionally to the amount
of danger to human health
that presently occurs from
natural background of ra
diation. Furthermore, the third
reason nuclear development
poses a health hazard is
that fallout from testing is
not distributed uniformly
but concentrates in certain
areas. There is no way to
prevent this concentration
which is caused by wind
patterns and other natural
elements. For instance, this
fall the National Bureau of
Standards has discovered
that Minnesota wheat and
water are the acceptable
radiation level.
For these three reasons,
therefore, we maintain that
nuclear weapon develop
ment poses a health hazard.
In view of the serious na
ture of radiation damage we
wonder if we ought to con
tinue a program which adds
to that damage.
Let us now turn to the
second reason for discon
tinuing nuclear develop
ment. Our second conten
tion is:
Contin""' nuclear devel
opment will result In a
spread of the capability for
nuclear warfare.
The size of the problem
is apparent when we realize
that at the present time
only three nations can wage
nuclear war. A short look
at the problems which have
developed with only three
nations possessing this abil
ity demonstrates how great
the problems might become
if more nations enter the
field. These dangers will be
realized under a policy of
unlimited nuclear develop
ment for many nations want
to enter this field, many na
tions possess the natural re
sources to do so and many
nations, possess the type of
knowledge which would al
low them to develop nuclear
weapons.
Examples of these nations
might be France, Commu
nist China and Japan. Un
der continued nuclear devel
opment these nations will
be able to put their knowl
edge to use and actually
test to see if they have a
workable nuclear weapon.
From these facts we can
see that continued nuclear
development will result in
a spread of the capabilities
for nuclear warfare. With
such grave dangers why
should we continue a pro
gram which intensifies such
possibilities?
