THERE la nothing half so good
for that overcaked feeling aa
a long cross-country hike on the
campus. Itinerary for the trip
Bhould Include a tour of Inspection
of the cute little laboratory where
they test highways. It's in an an
tiquated shop facing the practice
field, off the main thorough-fares
of collegiate traffic. There there
are loads of darling devices for dis
covering centrifuge, maximum
density and other big names. And
the bright boys who run the joint
are most obliging to dumb females.
A superfine second stop ' would
be the stadium, where the hatches
are so battened down that the high
must stoop very low to emerge
from the ramps. It's an elegant
spot for private sun-baths, except
for over-active public speakers.
Then on to tho Bcssey alluring
curving driveway, into the store
room basement, with a bit of a
pause for a very warm drink of
water. A halt before the butterfly
collection in Morrill could well fol
low the most serious scientific
Bightseeing, or an explanation of
the refrigeration for the polar bear
case.
Thence one can go down to the
water works behind the coliseum,
which are simply fascinating if
open, and have a lawn of clover
If they're not. And so back to the
Campus Inn, because one can't
break a bad habit too abruptly,
you know.
IF you arc an introvert or a
freshman, however, you may
prefer to visit personages rather
than places. Surely your first
call would be on the director of
the school of journalism, who
hides a hearty sense of humor
behind a heavy Oxford accent
and a green eye shade.
Only the other day the irre
pressible sports editor of the
Nebraskan sneaked, with elab
orate caution, up behind the un
conscious managing editor and
uttered a sudden solemn "Boo!"
Prof. Gayle C. Walker, who, un
seen by the prankster, had
watched the fun, promptly pro
nounced a smirking "Vch-ry
pret-ty!", thereby sending the
breathlessly waiting onlookers
into mild hysterics. The joke
eter was reduced, of course, io
the depths of contrition and em
barrassment, while the manag

Freshmen Pull Prize Boners
When Starting College Life
Prizes for 1 lio best boners pulled this week ro to Nebras
ka's some 1,000 freshmen. "A boner for every fresh mn n" is
the slogan of the boys who wear the little red caps and girls
with the little red pins (not the liff Sisters, please). And for
getting to wear the caps or the pins seems to make little dif
ference in the unaccountable actions of the members of the class
of '39.
In fact it was a little boy minus the cap who turned up in the
Temple building the other day looking for Miss Bessy Hall. But he
was a wary fellow. He wasn't goin? to let anyone pull anything over
on him by trying to tell him that ilessey hall was a building.
Rush week uncovered slight weaknesses beneath the cover of so
phistication adopted by tho rushees, hot'n male and female. For in
stance, there was the young lady who, seeing the house boy standing
in the kitchen door, wanted to know if he was the father of the soror
ity. And of course there is at least one every rush week who declines
all invitations because she has decided to join the Y. V. C. A. ThcreJ
are a few men who show a slight preference for Thl Beta Kappa
during the frat rush, and one of the few is reported to have already
asked his girl to the P. B. K. banquet.
Registration is composed mostly of lines, and it is inevitable that
every freshman stand in some line for three or four hours only to
find when he arrives at the first of the long procession that he has
been standing in the wrong line all the time.
Advice from father as to which professors he should get, involved
one frosh in an endless search. He was looking for a teacher who had
been dead for several years.
And last on the list of prize boners for the week is the new
R. O. T. C. recruit who asked to speak to "Sergeant Oury." To say
nothing of the little fellow who spent his last three dollars buying a
share in the Social Science elevator.

Frosh; Cobs Want Trip
If fraternities see fit to dis
penses with paddling their fresh
men tomorrow night, the Corn
Cobs may get to go to Manhat
tan this year. Pretty compli
cated until you explain it.
When the faculty board re
jected the Corn Cobs applica
tion for a closed party night,
their one source of revenue dis
appeared. Rather than sit at
home on the day of the football
excursion, President Ted Brad
ley thought of commercializing
the time-honored fraternity tra
dition of paddling.
The rub came this week-end,
when the supply of barrel
staves failed to arrive on time
Now Bradley is issuing an ap
peal to his customers, asking
them to wait until Thursday be

Books, Briefcases, Coeds, and
Football Signs of September
By Dick Kungman.
You'd know it was September, even if calendars Lad never
been devised. Vacations come to a close. Kids with dinnerpails
swarm over country roads. Collegians, books and briefcases
stuffed under one arm, co-eds clinging to the other, amble
leisurely to classes again after a three-month rest cure. Mothers
and daughters gaze in rapt ecsiasyo
at the new faU styles, wnereupon
fathers and husbands, realizing
that it's only a matter of time
now, igh deeply and wonder Just
how much the. annual siege on the
contents of the family pocketbook
will call for this time. Falling
leaves. Diving thermometers. Wei
