Most years, Kevitt said, there are two field parties working with the museum. "There is not more than 10 to 15 per cent of the society's total exhibits on display at one time," Kivett said. Other artifacts are kept in storage. The library portion of the Historical Society has charge of preserving publications rel ative to Nebraska. This also includes photo materials rela tive to the state.

I oration The Historical Society is largely supported funds, Kivett said. "We are badly in need of additional space," he added. Kivett said that there was also an increasing problem with state records, "We must catalog and index them, de termine those worthy of perm ZKrfl1 ament preservation and store them under ideal conditions," he said. Noting that their facilities and services are open to ev eryone, Kevitt said that many University students use the Historical Society for research work. "In fact, we have people working on research projects coming from half-way around the world to the Historical So ciety," he said. Kevitt noted even further increased work loads for the ciety is helping county cen tennial. He said that the so ccaty is helping county cen tennial commissions to get in formation on county history, find exhibits and set them up.

Kennard was the mem ber of the Capital Commis sion who cast the deciding vote on locating the State Cap ital in Lincoln.

"Horrible." "No privacy". "Like midieval castles without vermin, tap estry or fireplaces." This was how various facul ty members described the state of faculty office space. Eight of ten departments reported their facilities as nnnr hut two hoiiPVPH that theirs were adequate, at least for the present. Dr. I). W.

Californians Arrive . . . ee By Julie Morris Junior Staff Writer Sporting Cornhusker booster badges and red 'N' hats, 116 Nebraska alumni from California arrived in Lincoln by chartered plane late Thursday afternoon. The California alums will attend the Homecoming game and festivities Satur day. As they stepped off the plane the Californians were greeted by Chancellor Clif ford Hardin: Candy May. 1965 Homecoming Queen: Mrs. John Morrow, 1940 Homecoming Queen: and George Bastian, Secretary of the Nebraska Alumni Association. A few of the members of the group carried banners which read. "Californians for Nebraska.

This is the third year that a group of alumni from California has made the pil grimage to the Homecom ing game. According to Don Bloom, president of the California chapter of the Nebraska Alumni Association, 75 peo ple who applied for reserva tions for the trip had to be turned down this year be cause of lack of space. He said that he hopes enough people will want to come next year to make it pos sible to charter a jet for the trip. Some of the arriving alumni had comments 1 O 9 IP According to Dr. Alan Bat es, chairman of the sociology department, the plight of his department is not any better. "This year," Bates said, "we're doubling up. Our space isn't satisfactory, but there is nothing we can do. "A staff member needs mo'e than a place to put his dfsk and books-he needs a P,ace ,0 tall privately with students and not interrupt someone else. He needs a place to be alone: people need a place where they can j be isolated." he said. j Bates added, "Things arej going to get worse before they get better, but the future ; planned structures will help, ; Right now our graduate as- sistants are crowded like; i sarHinpe " Dean Charles Miller of the College of Business Adminis-j tration explained the problem ! as follows: "Faculty needs! ! arise before office space en-1 larees to accommodate them. 1 We've temporarily solved our ; problem by converting class- cum about the absence of large scale Homecoming displays on the campus this year. Mrs. John Wylie of the class of 1929 said she felt the dis plays had become too elab orate and expensive and that the non-promotion was "okay with me." Mrs. Lorcn Zook. who graduated in 19W. siad she had read that the displays were not to be as elaborate as in the past and noted. "It's kind of sad to lose the tradition, but I imagine all traditions have to go some time." A similair feeling was ex pressed by Mrs. Colleen Ephrom who said the dis plays are an asset to the campus, but that they had undoubtedly become some thing of a problem in terms of expense involved. The alums showed enthu siasm about the football team. Evelle Younger, class of 1940, said, "We're very proud of the team. This will be the first time I've seen a football game at Nebras ka in 25 years, but I've al ways followed the team." Harold Bauer, class of 1949. said this is his first trip back for Homecoming but that he would definitely be coming again next year to see the game. Over 100 people were at the airnort to meet the plane. Snatches of welcom ing conversation included "Hey Bruiser, how are you?" "Have my parents come out yet?" and "What took you so long to get out of the plane?" The Big Red Rider, the j inter-campus bus. was at i the airport to take some of the alums into town.

As things stand, there is some inconvenience since instruct ors lack privacy." New Building To Help "Until the new Arts and Science building is built and we can spread out here (so ciology building), there isn't much that can be done," Mill er concluded. Graduate assistants in Bus iness Administration describ ed their office space as 'mis erable, but graduate assist ants' offices usually are over crowded in every depart ment." Graduate assistants from 2 "ZTt Li uS " history department disa- ieally all right." one said.

"Evervone is horribly crowded except cer tain professors who've been here for years and the gradu ate assistants are in even worse shape than the rest of us." The English graduate stu dents echoed his complaints and added that "if evervone who is housed in this office (121 were here at the same time, it would be horrible. As it is we're st such close ouar ters that it's almost impos siWe to talk to students." The graduate assistants px plainod that thev were placd in offices that had Prpviouslv been classrooms pnd that thre from six to fifteen in an office. Temole Bitildins 'Fine' Dr. Charles Gruner of the sopech department said that the spepch department was "in eood shape. Ever'' staff mpmber has his own officp.

"We ji;t expanded into three former classrooms and are much im proved over last year." The present Music Building is "verv inadequate" accord in? to Dennis Schneider, as sociate professor, but things "will improve when the new building is completed." Another older building on campus, the Geography Build ing, is "adeouate as thmg stand," according to Dr. Les lie Hewes, chairman of t h e geography department. "We all have individual offices and are better off than most departments in the school be cause of this old building," be said. "In about three years, how ever, we will feel a pinch if we're still in this building," he added. V i i r l . . ..Jfc,
