Decker
Speaks
At Ag
Professor Talks
On Meteorology
Dr. Wayne Decker, associ
ate professor of Climatology
from the University of is-
souri, will speak today at 11
a.m. at an all-Ag College con
vocation in 306 Ag Hall.
His talk will be centered
around three main topics:
"Definition of Scientific He
terology," tire Develop
ment of Meteorlogy," and
"Careers in Meteorology.
Decker's third topic will
be of major interest to the
college student. At present in
the United States most me
teorologists are over 45 and
there is a need for younger
men in the field, he said.
Some of the fields of study
include work with the energy
balance, circulation of atmos
phere and weather control,
and sew ideas concerning
space and weather.
At 2 p.m. Decker will
speak to the Ag College
staff. All students are invited
to hear him speak on the
"Role of meteorology and
climate in research projects
at the agriculture experiment
stations."
In his second speech Deck
er will show how meteorol
ogy works with other fields of
research native to Nebraska.
- Students other than those
enrolled in Ag College may
hear Dr. Decker speak.
In the first article that ap
peared in the Daily Nebras
kan on Mar. 10, the date of
the convocation was listed as

Problem? Ask Book Association
By Eleanor Billings
Need a book? Looked everywhere? Try the Nebraska
Public Library Commission.
The Commission, established in 1901, offers many valu
able and unusual library services to Nebraskans.
It loans books directly by mail to Nebraska residents
with no local library service, administers the talking book
and braille collection for blind borowers, and maintains
bookmobile service in areas where regular library services
are unavailable.
Love Library works with the Commission in providing
services for students and the public. If a student comes in
and wants a book, the library calls the Commission to see
if the book is listed in their Union catalog
Union Catalog
' In addition, all books located in Love Library are listed
in the Union catalog at the Commission, according to Rich
ard A. Farley, associate director of Love Library.
"Quite often it works the other way and someone out
state wants to locate a book which we have," Farley said.
In that case the Commission tells them they can find the
book at the University, and they write directly to the Uni
ve;sity library for the book.
"We enjoy very good relations with the Commission
and appreciate their services," Farley commented.
The Commission is the official library extension agency
of the state. As a department of the state government it is
supported by tax funds. '

heads and organized houses
on Ag campus for distribu
tioni
According to Edeal, there
are boxes for depositing com
pleted forms at both the Ag

Questions to be filled out
by those interested include
"Do you use the library in
the evening?", "Do you feel
the 72 hours a week the Ag
library is now open is suffi
cient for your needs at the
present time?"
Other questions include
ones concerning the possibil
ity of opening the library on
Sunday and whether students
and faculty use the library
for reference work or as just
a place to study.
"The Board would also like
to get an idea on the need
for opeiilng the library more
on weekend! and on Sun
day," said EdeaL
"In addition to the yes-no
questions several questions
have been added that require
the participant to write out
a personal opinion which will
be evaluated," explained

hours was presented to the

month, but the Council said
they couldn't take action un

extended hours, he said.

After the results are pre
sented to the board, they will
be sent on to the S t u d e n t
