The completion of the Field-- house will be a force to draw more athletes to the University. It will also revolutionize the spring sports program at Omaha U. And it comes at a time when the post war University sports program is enter- ing the bigger school category of intercollegiate competition. When Athletic Director Virg Yelkin came to Omaha in 1946, he had to reactivate an athletic program that had been dormant throughout the war years. Since he has been here, Yelkin has put the University back on the sports map in four major sports, as well as in golf and tennis. He has also inaugurated wrestling on an inter- collegiate basis. And now, when the Fieldhouse facilities are completed, the sports program will be strengthened both physically and psychologically in the step up to higher objectives in Uni- versity athletics. But even though the Fieldhouse is not yet finished, the ten-year building program moves on. State Legislature Bill Number 7 gives the Board of Regents power to issue revenue bonds to finance the construction of student or faculty housing. This same bill would also permit the building of a combination stu- dent union and dormitory on the campus. Despite post war leveling oft, a new expansive era seems to be in the offing at the University of Omaha.

The words Home Game on the fall Omaha sports schedule will mean just that when the Indians begin their basketball season. As the Tomahawk was completed, the cagers planned to be playing on the portable basketball court in the University Fieldhouse. The court is 50 feet wide, 94 feet long -college regulation E and is modeled after the Madison Square Garden and Chicago Stadium floors. It can be set up on the dirt floor by two men. Also inside the Fieldhouse are permanent telescopic bleacher seats for 3,600 people. The seats on the north and south sides can be folded into the wall when not in use. Temporary bleachers on the other two walls will seat '1,5O0 more. Athletic offices and dressing rooms are also inside this building. Outside the 264 by 178 foot struc- ture on the east side will be concrete seats for 3,600 spectators. Additional wings to the center of the grandstand, not shown in the drawing, will ac- comodate another 2,000. The three-deck press box above the seats on the 50 yard line, will be among the best in the midwest. The lowest decks are glass-enclosed and the top is open. The Fieldhouse, well under con- struction, is a part of the proposed plan of four attached units to be built on the west hill of the football Held: the Fieldhouse, Administration Build- ing, Gymnasium, and athletic field seating. The plans are flexible enough to allow buildings to be constructed separately. With the new Fieldhouse in opera- tion, the University will be able to schedule home games a year in ad- vance, with a broader choice of op- ponents in a full program of inter- collegiate athletics.

OBJECTIVES WERE MET 'N 34.2 flue Cfafafea Europe's Three Estates, under the magic push of American progress, have grown to number live. These estates of Religion, of Business, and of the People have been joined by those of the Press and of the Radio. And here at Omaha, under the influence of a rapidly progressing University, the past year has meant moving faster toward higher objectives in each of the estates. THE FIRST ESTATE Anyone who stood during the crowded Christmas Convocation could see Q . . that students found reverence to play a great part in guiding them through e lglon college and life. Together, in the University, students of many different races and religions studied, worked, and discussed ideas, during the past yearfbetter meeting the objective to get along with their fellow man. THE SECOND ESTATE Among the efforts of the University to fit the student for the business . world that the college graduate will enter was the all-school Vocations Day, MIHQM held May 4. There, at seminars, speeches and exhibitions, the students received additional advice and guidance to help prepare for their niche in the future. As for actual business training, the University has recognized the joint responsibility that exists between institutions of higher education and business for the education and training of well-qualified personnel. In this line, the new Department of Retailing, working with the Associated Re- tailers of Omaha, provides a uni ue training course. Students who study under this de- partment attend classes four days each week and work in member stores of the Associa- tion two days a week. ln this way their classroom instruction is coordinated with on- the-job laboratory experience to insure a well rounded program. In the words of one business man: We feel that more college graduates should be interested in retailing, the largest business in America. So we decided to do something about it. The Department of Retailing is under the recently enlarged Division of Business Administration in the College of Applied Arts and Sciences.
