Old timers discuss tough times, marvel at changes
By Jane Hirt
Staff Reporter
Graduates from the class of 1937
got together this weekend to discuss
old times and celebrate their class
reunion.
Fifty years ago, there was no stu
dent union, there was but one dormi
tory, Oldfather wasn't a building but
the dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences and Burnett Hall was the
site of tennis courts.
"It was the Depression," said
Robert H. Tallman, who received a
bachelor's degree in business admin
istration in 1937. "Things were
tough," he said.
Karl Manke, who graduated in 1933
with a master's degree in agronomy
said that "everyone that went to col
lege worked part-time because of the
Depression."
John Mostrom got a bachelor's
degree in science while he worked at
Spomer's Cafe washing dishes and
waiting tables.
He said that he had classes in the
morning, worked until 9 p.m. and
then studied for the next day's

LEGISLATURE from Page 1
Senators voted 28-0 to advance the bill
to final reading, which, if approved,
would go to the governor for her approval.
Last week, Omaha Sen. Ernie Cham
bers' bill to abolish the state's death
penalty was six votes short of first
round approval. A priority bill, LB675,
would abolish the death penalty for any
person convicted of first-degree murder
and require that such a person serve at
least 30 years in prison. The sentences
of the 14 now on death row would be
reduced to life imprisonment.
The bill probably will come up again,
and if not advanced to second-round
debate, Chambers will get one last try
to advance the bill before it is withdrawn.

classes,
"Back then, there wasn't time for
socializing," he said. "I had a Willis
Sawyer scholarship for $50. That
covered my tuition," he said.
Tallman said that he worked at a
clothing store on 14th and P streets.
When he got low on money, he would
challenge his fraternity brothers to
crap games.
"I always won because I knew the
odds better," he said.
Darwin Liggett made money by
playing the trumpet in bands around
Lincoln. Liggett was also in the Corn
husker Marching Band, which had
about 180 members at the time. He
got his bachelor's degree in business.
Vern J. Williams, who got his
bachelor's degree in business admin
istration, said that ROTC paid his tui
tion and he also earned money at a
job that paid 35 cents an hour.
Williams said even though no one
had any money "everyone wore a suit
and carried a brief case."
Mostrom said that tuition cost $3 a
credit hour and used books were
about $2 each.
The graduates agreed that both

campus and Lincoln have changed
over 50 years.
Liggett, who now lives in Irvine,
Calif, said he and his wife came
through Lincoln about a year and a
half ago.
"We saw all of the buildings from
our window in the Hilton and we
couldn't believe it," he said. Mostrom
said that he remembers when 15th
and R streets ran through the
campus.
Tallman also said downtown Lin
coln has changed a great deal.
"There are a lot of empty stores,"
he said.
Since there was only one women's
dormitory, most people lived in fra
ternities and sororities or off campus.
Manke said students could rent
rooms in the houses surrounding
campus for $5 a month with a
roommate.
The festivities for the reunion
weekend included a kickoff cookout
on Thursday, a luncheon and dinner
on Friday, tours of the Wick Alumni
Center and Sheldon Memorial Art
Gallery, a luncheon and formal
awards banquet on Saturday night.
