Fourth was a life sciences building in Lincoln and fifth went to a School of Nursing Building at the Medical Center in Omaha. A Lincoln Home Economics Building was tenth of the 13 requests. Funds for this building were also invalidated by the court.

Though the athletic facility is not on the list of priorities for the coming biennium some legislators have indicated that it is high on their lists of priorities.

A conference is planned Dec. 3 between representatives from the seven Nebraska junior col leges and the University to discover better ways to serve junior college transfer students. "We hope that we can help the junior colleges learn more about the University," said John Aronson, Director of University Admissions. "But we also hope to learn ways from the junior colleges in which we can make life better for transfer students." The conference between the Junior Colleges and the University is the first one of its kind. Four hundred students at the University have come from junior colleges. "The number Is not very large compared to the whole student body, but we are just receiving the growth In junior college enrollment. In two years, that number will be considerably larger, Aronson said. For a number of years many of the Nebraska junior colleges lagged behind the rest of the Law library falls short of accreditation standards "Although the chances of losing our accreditation are small," says the assistant dean of the Law College, "our law library doesn't meet the stan dards set by the Association of American Law Schools." Accreditation standards re quire each law library to pro vide seating for at least 65 per cent of the student body at one time.Donald L.

They were supported only by their local communities until 1968 when the Legislature established state support of junior colleges. "Many students find the en vironment of a junior college better suited to their needs than the first two years at the University," Aronson said. "The conference will enable u3 to understand the background of junior college transfer students. "Maybe we are overestimating the student, which is just as bad as un derestimating him. However, we are getting good results from the junior college graduates." A coffee hour, at 2:30 p.m. in the Union Centennial Room is open to ths former junior col lege students at the University. There will be a discussion between the University and junior college representatives and the junior college transfers. The colleges planning to at tend are McCook, Fairbury, North Platte, York, Nebraska Western at Scottsbluff, Platte at Columbus and Nebraska Northeastern at Norfolk. plained, and next year the library will be 100 seats short of meeting this requirement "There's no way the present library can be expanded without a new building," he said. Appropriations for a new building are slated for the 1973 75 biennium, and if the money Is received, actual construction will probably take anoiher two, Shaneyfelt said. East Campus is the proposed site for the future Law College, said the dean, observing that the present problem of noise from In'erstate traffic would be re roved. In addition to the over crowded library, limited classroom space makes a new building necessary, Shaneyfelt said, there's space for only three classrooms in the 58-year-old building. Besides library require ments, accreditation by the Asicciailon depends on the . stucient-faculty ratio, the number of faculty, entrance requrements and the cur rcui'um Shaneyfelt said.
