Blinking orange lights, a
perpetual dust bowl, a "torn
up" right hand lane and a
much traveled left and cen
ter lane is an accurate though
not pleasant description of
16th Street the past few
weeks.
Though pedestrians may be
tired of breaching and swal
lowing the blowing dirt, and
motorists even more angered
with the slow moving traffic,
there is a reason for 16th
Street's condition.
Because of the joint effort
of university officials and. the
stale building commission,
the University will boast a
new chilled water pipeline
and the statehouse a new
heating-air conditioning sys
tem. The project is the reason
for the "tearing up" of 16th
Street. The new pipeline
when installed will run from
the University's power plant
on 14th Street to the state
house. The pipeline project, which
should be completed by the
first of next year is being
paid for by the University
and the building commission,
according to Kenneth John
son, project engineer.
"The pipeline will cost
about $312,000 and the entire
project will cost $918,761,"
Johnson said. "The contract
requires that the project be
completed by June 1, 1965,"
he said.
When completed the project
will provide chilled water for
the air-conditioning of T w i n
Towers, George Abel Hall,
the new men's residence hall
being constructed on north
17th and the proposed new
dormitory to be constructed
south east of George Abel
Hall.
The chilled water is sup
plied by the 2000 ton chilling
machine recently added to
the University's power plant.
The state building commis
sion has to make arrange
ments with the University to
use the chilled water from
the University power plant
for use in the heating-air con
ditioning system for the cap
itol. 'We didn't want a power
plant near the statehouse to
spoil the surroundings so de
cided to utilize the university
power plant. Only fans and
pumps will be located in the
statehouse," Johnson said.
The Leo A. Daly Company
was chosen to design the
heating-air conditioning sys
tem for the capitol. "They
were instructed to change as
little as possible in drawing
the designs. As a result only
the first floor corridor ceil
ing has been lowered two feet
and cabinets containing the
units are visible. All else is
left as it has always been,"
Johnson said.
The two and one half foot
thick walls of concrete or sol
id brick presented problems
for the designers. The space
for piping and ductwork was
also limited.
The contract allows all but
the north east quadrant, the
east senate chamber and
lounge, the library and Su
preme Court room, and the
fifth, ninth, twelveth and
thirteenth floors of the tower
to be air conditioned.
The north east quadrant
had the most individual win
dow air conditioning units al
ready installed. The fifth floor
opens on the rotunda where
cold air could not be con
fined, thus these areas were
left as they are.
Neither the corridors nor
the basement will be heated
or air conditioned. The ninth
floor, home of the Game Com
mission, had the highest num
ber of individual units and
so will not have a part in
the new system.
The 12th and 13th floors of
the tower were excluded until
more money can be appropri
ated by the legislature.
' "The statehouse acts kind
of like a big chimney any
way. I have had reports that
they never have to turn the
heat on in the top stories until
December because the air is
drawn up into the tower,"
Johnson said.
Natkin and Company are in
charge of construction. Dob
son Brothers have the pipe
line contract.

The Daily Nebraskan
White People Must Learn
To Accept Responsibility
White people must learn
what the Jewish jeople al
ready know, that with unique
ness comes responsibility, Dr.
Alan J. Pickering, pastor of
the United Campus Christian
Fellowship said.
"In the South, whites are
discovering that they are dif
ferent. Though the 40 million
Negroes in the United States
are in the minority, two
thirds of the world's popula
tion is colored," Pickering
said in a speech to the Tif
fereth Israel Women's League.
"What we, the white popu
lation, have thought our
uniqueness is now being used
against us. This is shown in
the race riots, in the shouts
of "Yankee Go Home" from
the African nations," he said.
Pickering said the problem
is a two-edged sword. Re
sponsibility must be a co-partner
with uniqueness. "T h e
Jews have learned their re
sponsibility through years of
ersecution. The whites have
their responsibility yet to
learn," he said.
"This is religion's respon
sibility to make us aware of
the vital and important dif
ferences in the races and to
show us the cooperative spirit
we must have," he said.

"The churches are doing a

Prejudice has no place in

YMCA
Helping
Deprived
By Barry A bra ins
Junior Staff Writer
Everyone has the right to
sn equal chance, and through
the facilities of the YMCA's
Pilot Club Project for Under
privileged Boys the students
of the University have an op
portunity to aid those with
less chance to get ahead.
This program, which is de
signed to provide a club for
underprivileged boys in t h e
downtown Lincoln area, will go
into effect around the first of
December.
The Pilot project will start
with one club of twelve bovs
of seventh grade age. This is
considered the best age be
cause a studv by the Merle
Palmer Institute of Detroit
showed that a young person's
attitudes are being formed at
this age while at an older age
he is not likely to change.
There are six factors that
define an underprivileged boy.
He is deprived of a suitable
home environment, has little
or no regular income and
lives in poor housing condi
tions. He lacks adequate in
terest to be a good student,
is in need of organized activi
ties outside of school and can
not afford to participate in
such activities.
The leadership for this pro
gram will come from s t u
dents at the University. The
men who are hired will have
responsibility for the progress
of the project toward its
goals and will set an example
for the boys since many of
them will come from homes
where there are no men.
Bob Rhoades, the YMCA
man ultimately responsible
for the program, said, "It
takes more effort, imagina
tion, creativity and physical
endurance to work with pov
erty kids. The college stu
dent has the energy, creativi
ty and compassion for people
that it will take to do this
j job well."
; The goals this project will
be aimed at are to help the
boys gain new friends, identi
fy with socially accepted man
ly characteristics, learn the
art of "give and take" and
to learn to make independent
decisions.
The cost of the project will
be 500 dollars for one club
for one year. The money will
come from churches, univer
sity groups, government
grants and service clubs. It
is hoped that some organiza
tions might want to donate
sporting equipment and other
related things.
While many may feel that
the cost is high, Mr. Rhoades
points out that these boys
might do that much damage
to the community if allowed
to run wild.
"The key to success is to hit
a boy's interest and help him
build his own imagination."
The project activities will in
elude visiting interesting
places, outdoor athletics and
indoor and cultural activities.
Rhoades hopes the boys m?y
be able to obtain a private
club house which would occu
py their time in working on
it and give them a place to
belong. The YMCA facilities
will be open to the club.
The boys to be worked with
lack ambition, are socially
outcast, but through strong
leadership and guidance the
project can be a great oppor
tunity for the people involved.
