her most useless was a pink
lace negligee while her most
collegiate was a fuzzy crew

No Long Formats
One girl summed up the
dressy dress situation when
she said that her long for
mals stayed in the closet
since cocktail dresses were
worn for formal dances and
wool dresses for cocktail
dress parties.
Betty Blore said her most
useless was a favorite skirt
with an ink spot on it. Blues
and browns in sweaters and
plaid skirts were favorites,
too.
Betty Menke and Sharon
Harvey said their most use
less items were a chemise
jumper and a chemise shirt
waist. .
LuAnn D e W a 1 1 agreed
that pleated skirts and
sweaters were' best, but
what was taking room in
her closet without ever be
ing worn was a pair of
sweat pants from the Uni
versity track department.

It seems that the popular
trench coats are considered
a necessity rather than col
legiate attire. Marilyn Llnd

pressed that trenches were
"the most" this year. Miss
Lindquist said a hat was
taking up valuable space in
her closet. Miss Gerdes was
enthused about the comfort
of her desert boots.
Barb Bloom agreed that
a trench coat was goo d
while the most ridiculous
thing in her closet was an
extra pillow.
Plaid skirts, ponchos and

Nancy Hufman and Lynn

in her closet.

McKinnon said the hardest
thing about moving into the
position of former Union ac

learning "who to go to see

The huge amount of busi

Construction of the new

schedule with "no reason to

steel strike."
Verne Meyers,1 director of
plant planning and construc

erected at the College of Ag
riculture, has been completed
and the majority of the foot
ings are now in.
The reinforcement steel,
which is now being used, is
available to the contractor,
Parsons Construction Co. of
Omaha. The main structural
steel will not be needed for
at least two more months.
January 1, 1961, is the date
set for completion of" the
building.

Work on the Corrihusker is

Catholic Center Going
By Ann Moyer
Constriction on the $350,000
Thomas Aquinas chapel and
student center is well under
way.
Work on the new Catholic
center which will be located
at the corner of 16th and Q
Streets, was begin April 8.
At that time the old yellow
building which had served as
the c e n t e r for many years
was dismantled.
The new building, which will
be completed in ' time
for the 1960-61 school term, is
being built at the same loca
tion. Money for the building
was secured by means of per
sonal pledges made by New
man Club members and con
tributions from Catholic
churches throughout the
state.
Interior Court
The Newman Club center
will be built facing lGlh
Street. The building will be
built around an interior court
which will be large enough for
a recreation area.
One of the two main units
of the building will house the
church. The seating capacity
of the church is 400 includ
ing a choir loft and a small
chapel wing. A baptistry will
be located just outside the
main entrpnee adding a touch
of the old to an otherwise
modern structure.
According to the Rev. Rob
ert Sheeny, the custom of
having the baptistry outside
the church dates back almost
15 centuries.

Chancellor Hardin said that
Ladies Home Journal
Prints Hardin's Views
If young people do not
have respect for learning, it
may be because their sense
of values reflects what they
believe they see in the atti
tude of adults."
Chancellor Clifford M. Har
din voiced this opinion in the
October issue of the Ladies'
Home Journal, which
recorded the panel discussion
held by eight prominent
Americans on the question,
"Is College Education a Right
or a Privilege?"
Other Panelists
In addition to the Chan
cellor, members of the panel
were Marian Anderson, one
of the world's great contral
tos; Al Capp, cartoonist;
John W. Gardner, chairman
of the Rockefeller Fund on
education; Alfred M. Gruen
ther, president of the Na
tional Red Cross; Mrs. Wil
liam J. Murray, Jr., mem
ber of the University of Texas
Conference on Educational
Expectations; Victor Reu
ther, administrative assistant
to the president of the United
Auto Workers; and Eugene
S. Wilson, dean of admis
sions at Amherst College.
Speaking in defense of the
alleged low standards of bac
calaureate degrees conferred
in the United States today,
Dr. Hardin said, "I firmly
believe that the standards
that go into the average bac
calaureate degree in this
country today are higher than
they were in any period in
the past."
In answer to the question
"Should the doors (of uni
versities) be opened wide?"
Dr. Hardin commented, "I
would say that people by vir
tue of their being human
have the right to pursue edu
cation to the full extent of
their capabilities.
Fullest Development
"The basic human right to
pursue knowledge is valid for
life and our educational sys
tem exists to encourage the
exercise of it. I think we can
assume that everyone has the
right to develop his intellect
The full basement beneath

est," he said.
Dr. Hardin, in reply to the
query, "Why do so many
want college?", said, "Our
young people often empha
size these things that they
feel their elders believe are
important.
"If colleges threw the doors
open willy-nilly and said,
'Come one, come all!" I am
sure a large number of poorly
prepared students would
enter. Most of the poorly
equipped do not attempt to
enter college because they
have been advised, or de
cided on their own, not to."
Practical Problem
In answer to the question
"what makes students
work?" directbJ at the panel,
Dr. Hardin replied, "The stu
dent who does not have the
desire to learn, who is not
motivated, is a practical
problem of grave propor
tions. "We should prepare o n r
students as well as possible,
but that is not the real prob
lem. The real problem is mo
tivation," he said.
He also observed that "only
a small number of those of
low ability apply for admis
sion at the present time. The
youth who is apparently not
mentally capable of doing
college work is not a major
problem in the day-to-day op
eration of the university."
Don't Succeed
"The more fundamental
and more troublesome prob
lem is presented by those
who seem to have the ability,
by any test that you can ap
ply, but simply do not suc
ceed in college," the Chan
cellor added.
"We have sold the Ameri
can public on the fact that
education is good for the pay
roll, good for national secur
ity, good for our standard of
living; but we have not done
a very good job of selling the
notion that education is good
for the individual, for the
self-satisfactions that he gets
from knowledge and from
learning," he said.
