'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

Lambert. PpcjeicIsoei
College of Agriculture Dean
W. V. Lambert and geography
instructor Fhillip E. 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."
