"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.

was in the class of 1901 or 1902.
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
