PAGE 4 . ii Mi 'rir-ni j ft c t - 4 h I "We HAVE HERE a man who has never seen a real, live pig!" To anyone who has lived in Nebraska, this seemed like news indeed. So your Nebraskan reporter and photographer, daring young sportsmen that they are, went out to Ag campus with this man to get his reaction to a porker. G. S. Rahimi, a scholarship student from Afganistan had never seen a pig before. In his country, he explained, the climate is very Hot and dry, and pigs are prohibited not only by this factor, but also by religion. So consequently, although he had seen photos and statues of swine, he had never seen one alive and on the hoof. Rahimi. who transferred to Nebraska from Columbia uni versity, will be a junior in Biz Ad college -next fall. When man met pig, Rahimi's comments ran as follows: Very round very fat what do they eat?" "Very fat they seem to have no bones." He was asked to pose with the pie. but insisted that a fence be between himself and the beast. "They must have some defense," he commented. History (Continued from Page 3.) to the famous fight which cul minated in the fall of 1884 in the action denying membership in the literary societies to the Greek let ter brethren (faction) . . . Dur ing this era the state was growing fast. Boys with spending money above their bare necessities were no longer rare on the campus. (We knew Walt had been here a long time, but . . .) We man aged to organize a baseball team, to acquire, a cellege yell, (now we'll all give a che-are for the dear old Uni-var-sity) to take on the elective system of studies, and to start a second building, the old chemical laboratory . . . "In each literary society a list of the young lady members was made out weekly and every man was given an opportunity to sign his initials after the one of his choice. This 'scratching of the slate' not only insured the young ladies regular escorts butb roke the youths at an early period to the systematic attendance upon the fair sex that naturally leads to life-long constancy. No formal balls were held by the students at this time and only a little semi clandestine dancing was indulged in at class meetings and other af fairs held in private houses .... "IT WAS AN enchanting and inspiring time. There wasn't a foot of pavement in two hundred miles and the automobile was not even a dream (let alone a nightmare.) But the old red brick main build ing was as beautiful as the Par thenon, and O Street, though built of wood and sun-dried bricks, could not have been surpassed in attractiveness by the marble palaces of Rome." (Ugh!) U Hall may have been a Par thenon to the students, but to the regents at that time it was a prob lem of no small proportions. In the middle '80s the tower was found to be settling slowly. For some months the tower was sup ported on stilts, a temporary help which caused much concern to at least one of the University fathers. Eventually repairs were made on the top and both the ouisiae ana inside foundations were replaced. : The building was once more de clared safe and no repairs other than those necessary for all build- ings were made until 1915. I AS ALWAYS, the building was ; the scene of many student pranks, j One night a group of boys placed , a cow in the tower. (What it is i about cows and NU?) The bell rope was tied to her tail and the old gong rang out each time "bossy" switched her tail. An other time a group of law stu dents, themselves apparently firm believers in insurance, placed chemicals under the platform from which Prof. Lobengier was to give a lecture on the subject. Needless to say, the class was dis missed ahead of schedule. A similar stunt was tried in chapel. Chemical sneezing ma terial carefully and thoroughly administered before the opening THE 1 '"'"jl of that solemn gathering of stu-4 dents ana iacuuy causeu mi uu lnoked for shortening of the meet ing. Even the lofty seniors were made the butt of student pranxs. (TNE carries on the tradition.) A trniin of them were temporarily disposed of in the caverns of the basements by junior "vanaais. This disturbed senior activities and was the sensation of the week. It was shortly after that that steps were taken to abolish the junior senior scraps. (Still trying.) The tower was locked after the cow episode, and energetic Greeks tinnprl their talents to rincine cow bells outside the meeting rooms of the literary societies. Arts Senior Goes To European Meet Nina Kaswinger-Stok, arts and science senior from Bolivia, will be Nebiaska's only representative on the European study program, sponsored by NSA, this summer. She will sail on the Dutch ship, "Onenean," from Quebec, Canada, on June 30. Fifteen hundred students are gains; to Europe this summer un der National Student association sponsorship. Part of the group expect to spend their time in one country only, working on recon struction projects there, utners will travel in different parts of Europe. Miss Stok has chosen the North ern Europe study tour and will travel with 65 other students thru England, the British zone of Ger many, and the Scandinavian coun tries. She is especially interested in Swedish Lapland, because the Lapp culture is completely differ ent than other European cul tures due to its isolation in the north. During the latter part of the summer, Miss Stok will leave the tour and tiavel alone thru France, which is not included on the NSA agenda.

He wanted to know because he was issuing invitations to a meeting of the Meddler's club, a sub-division of the Alum associa tion. Hiring detectives was listed as a possibility in this interesting pamphlet. We tried a few phone numbers in the Student Direc tory, but all the well-known private or public eyes were out on capers.
