Laborers Symbolize Needs
Two brawny, shirtless la
borers sorted lumber before
the growing structure of the
Student Union Building that
will cost appoximately 1,
250,000 when completed this
summer.
But they weren't just labor
ers. They were a part of the
reason why the Union build
ing is being enlarged and im
proved. John Osterland and
Larry Shields, Lincoln High
School graduates and football
players, are part of the swell
of new students that win use
the sew facilities and who
have made them necessary.
Both of the boys are earning
their tuition and school ex
penses by construction work.
Cafeteria Opens
Among the facilities that
John, Larry and the summer
session students may enjoy
now is the new cafeteria that
opened last week.
Also available for the sum
mer students are movies
