Short Short Tale
Of False Alarm
For the benefit of all fire-followers
confined to the class rooms
at 11:03 Tuesday morning, here is
the official report.
Students rushed from all direc
tions toward the men's dorm to
the clang of three engines and a
book-and-ladder truck. With no
smoke to guide them, many had
difficulty in finding the blaze.
Those that did were sadly disap
pointed. The fire at 601 No. 15th was a
short in a telephone pole.

Committee Filings
Show Increase
Filings for the Union commit
tees, which opened Monday, are
hitting a record high.
Board members are well satis
fied with the interest being shown
in Union work. However, since
the Union is run for the benefit
of the entire student body, it is
felt that there should be a repre
sentative group working on the
committees.
The Union Activities group
wishes to encourage unaffiliated
students to participate in the fil
ings. The booth will be open at
the Activities office in the Union
the remainder of the week for

For the first time since 1934, the Innocents society will
sponsor a luncheon for the dads of University students. Any
student, male or female, may
bring his dad to the luncheon.
Only 300 Plates.
Since the Union will be able to
serve only 300 plates, ticket sales
will be limited. Fathers of varsity
football players wil be honored
guests of the athletic department.
Tickets for the once-traditional
luncheon will be priced at
$1.25 per plate. It will begin at
11:30 a. m. and end at 1 p. m.,
in time for the day's football
game with Minnesota at 2 p. m.
Welcomes.
The University Dads will be
welcomed to the campus by Ne
braska Chancellor R. G. Gustav
son. Potsy Clark, director of ath
letics, will also be on hand to

Purpose of the luncheon is to
give students and fathers an op

ciety believes that now is the
time to bring back the old tradi
tion of Dad's Day.
"Organized houses are urged
to make plans that will not con
flict with the noon luncheon.
Students also are reminded that
mothers or other members of the
family are welcome to attend the
Alumni Association buffet dinner
in the Union parlors.
"Closer Insieht."
"It is the hope of the Innocents
that students' dads will get a
closer insight to the college life
of their sons and daughters on
this particular day. Since fathers
of college students are in a posi
tion as taxpayers and voters to
influence University policy, we
feel that students should make a
special effort to honor them on
one special day."
Tickets for the event will go
on sale in the Union Thursday
or Friday. All reservations must
be in by Thursday noon, Sept. 29.

Dust, Oats Gone
Grass Moves In
Remember the dust? and the
smell? and the oats?
Uppcrclassmcn will know the
subject at hand is the landscap
scaping which has been going
on around Love Library and So
cial Science for a little over a
year. From plowing to fertilizer
to oats NU students have suf
fered through the beautifying
processes.
In case you haven't had time
to notice, it's all over now and
we actually have grass! Almost
grass, anyway. Planted after
summer school was over this Au
gust, the grass is now up enough
so that it can actually b seen.
The past few days have seen men
busy watering the grass to make
sure it will be strong enough to
withstand the frosty Nebraska
winter.
It looks like Spring, doesul ifc?
