Miss E. Mallory, secretary to the Chancellor Cftico of guidance for students Laboratories are valuable opportunities for counseling Inevitably, although the university- possesses facilities for instruction un- excelled in the state, there are, due to the increased and steadily increasing enroll- ment, many pressing needs for improve- ment in the physical facilities. At present, on the several campuses are 40 buildings devoted to educational activity, and libraries containing 325,000 volumes. Ninth on the board ' s list in the ten year state building program, and second of its proposed university improvements is a new library building. Built for $125,950 in 1891, for a university numbering 1,000 students, the present library serves in 1939 a student body increased by more than 5,000. This library seats only 6.2 per cent of the university enrollment. Now rapidly rising on the Lincoln campus, its construction made possible by a $55,000 gift of D. L. Love and by a P.W.A. grant, is the new Julia Love Memorial Resi- dence, planned to accomodate ninety-six girls. When aggressive Chancellor C. S. Boucher this year reported to the Board of Regents the findings of his investigation into the university ' s structure, immediately the Board and the Chancellor launched a program of reform and reorganization. First step, the School of Music having been reduced to the status of a depart- ment, was the establishment of a School of Fine Arts, embracing music, art, and speech departments. Dr. Arthur Westbrook will direct the new school beginning July 1, 1939. The Board also set up a bureau of instructional research to survey educational requirements. Head of the bureau is Dr. J. P. Guilford, pyschologist, and H. M. Cox. The renamed editorial and publication department, headed by Carroll Chouinard, and a new dean of women, Miss Helen Hosp, completes the major list of changes. v nnHOLL CHOUINARD Director University Publicity ELLSWORTH DUTEfiU New fllumni secretary HELEN HOSP to be dean of viromen [12]

Norris and of Jol-in P. Senn- ing, university professor of political science, Nebraska ' s laws have been made by a unicameral legislature since January, 1937. Legalized by an amendment in 1934, the unique system was carefully planned, and the state was divided into electoral di stricts by the 1935 bicameral legislature, its membership comprising 30 senators and 100 representatives. The first members, 43 in number, were elected in November, 1936. rwj
