not receive much publicity since little can be said in news
columns other than who won, who lost and what ratings
were received by the debaters. As a result, few students
are familiar with debating, and few are aware of the

A 30 thousand-dollar trip would sound pretty good to
most any student. But if students will stop and think,
they'll see that some of the little jaunts they make across
the campus are costing the University no small sum. When
Nebraska pays 30 thousand dollars to landscape the cam
pus, we wince to see students short-cutting through the
mud. No signs of grass are visable yet, but when students
go tramping over the soggy ground, they are wearing tne
paths which make the campus so unsightly. And no one
wants to throw 30 thousand dollars down the drain.
