Friday, November 4, 1949 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN PAGE 5 'Rag9 Tells 'Tradition 9 Of Past Homecomings Ballios, frosh -sophomore con tests, returning alumni and Kansas-Nebraska rivalry are tradi tions dating back to the first Nebraska Homecoming, the Daily Nebraskan files reveal. Freshman today lead a life of case compared to the 1912 frosh. In that year, the first successful Homecoming, in order to get rid of the freshman caps they had to win not only the tug-of-war, but a football game, wrestling match, boxing match, 16-man relay and the "big scrap" on the morning of the Homecoming game. With Kansas leading 3 to 0 and only 4 minutes left in the game, the 1912 Cornhuskcr eleven came through with two touchdowns to defeat the Jayhnwks 14 to 3. The low cost of living in the "good old days" is shown in the 1937 Homecoming when the limit on house decorations was $15 and the dance was $125 per couple. Not only were the tickets $1.25, but dancers had two bands to en tertain them with a battle 'of music. The Homecoming game that year ended in a 13 to 13 tie with the Jayhawks. A very austere Homecoming was in order in 1943 during the war. The celebration was minus the frills and glamor built up Classified BKPROOM. private bHth, hom privilecex in exrliHnire tor liKht hniia.-hnM duties. No rooking required. Two in family. 3-4040.

Frandson, recently returned from study in France, have added their endorse ments to the AUF drive, Nov. 7 14. In a statement to University students, Dean Lambert com mented: "AH students have an oppor tunity to help with a most worthy cause through contributions to the WSSF. Literally thousands of students throughout the world today are denied the chance of getting: an education because of dire poverty. "There Is no way in which stu dents at Nebraska can render greater service to their fellow students in other parts of the world than through gifts to the WSSF. You will be contributing to a pro gram which will lay the ground work for casing and eventually eliminating the tragic conditions existing in so many lands today." Frandson, after living with stu dents in Europe for the past year, made this statement cn the AUF Week collections: "The World Student Service fund gives you, a student inter ested in the welfare of other stu dents, an opportunity to assist ma terially in the well-being of youth. War-torn areas of Europe, where in students are struggling for their education against physical handi caps, malnutrition and poor health, define the needs which WSSF is trying to ameliorate. "WSSF is not a new project. It has been functioning for twelve years, with experienced leaders who know the needs of various groups. At the University of Paris, where I was studying this past year, I lived with and saw stu dents who were attempting educa tion training with wholly inade quate diets, inadequate book fa cilities, and poor health. "As part of the entrance re quirements to the university, the physical examination reported that one out of every four students had tuberculosis. The critical condi tion that continues to develop is multiplied by both the inadequate facilities to treat tuberculosis pa tients and the lack of financial means of students to correct their ailments."
