I want to commend Agricultural college stu
dents on the interest they are showing in the
campaign to "keep off the grass." Keeping off
the grass is a heritage on this campus. In the
early days, walking on the grass was sure to in
vite disciplinary measures from one's fellow stu
dents. At the beginning of each year, freshmen
learned about walking on the sidewalks instead
of the grass because there was talk on occasional
use of paddles on violators. New students soon
saw the point and it was no longer a question of
having to use the walks but of wanting to.
. A college campus is the show window through
which visitors and towns people observe the stu
dents and others who work there. It can give
both good and bad impressions. A campus that
has fine grass and landscaping and no litter of
papers about is a joy for everyone to behold. It
indicates that students have pride in themselves
as well as in their surroundings. On the other
hand, if there are unsightly paths marking the
shortest distance from classes to bus lines and
Friend or Foe? ...
Screech! Squack! Crash! Bam!
Please let's not go further.
This is not a warning to beware of the school
of music, to be sure. There's no denying, how
ever, that the sound effects above bear a direct
resemblance to it.
Think of the next most eligible prospect and
you have it. That's right the continuous con
glomeration of canned noises that comes from the
Crib.
With the machines "fixed" so as to provide free
entertainment, the incessant roar, having gained
unprecedented freedom, runs wild.
In the time it takes to walk down one aisle of
booths, it is possible to come out with something
like this: "Until-she had a dark and roving eye
the week's news in review-sometime-could be-in
the moon mist." How confused can one person
become?
Then too, it is always the favorite sport of the
joker across the aisle to try his skill at out
classing the other booths when it comes to the
"my machine-can-make-more-racket-than-yours-can"
contest. Indeed, it gets a little nerve-wracking
at times.
With every loyal cribster competing against
his brother each confined to the solitude of his
own little cubby-hole they force the Crib to take
on an icy atmosphere that did not prevail before

f . oied again by that joker in the back of the
room who told you the Mueller tower was 20
minutes slow.)
Class from 12 noon to 1 p.m. Only those with

YWCA Announces Semester Activities
J? epresentative
What activities are on the
calendar of YWCA this semester?
A representative council has
been organized to inform all
women students of the activities
and special events of the YW dur
ing the year. The council is made
up of representatives appointed
from all organized houses, dorm
itories, independent organizations
end a representative of Lincoln
girls.
Contact
As a nucleus of YW the coun
cil keeps constant contact with
both members of YWCA and
xi o n-members. Representatives
take information of meetings and
activities back to the meetings of
their organizations. In this way
students are able to become
familiar with the programs ot
tered by the organization.
Publicity of the organization's
activities was previously handled
by a committee. The representa
tive council to contact women
students personally marks a new
development in the history of
YWCA on the University cam
pus. A newsletter, containing in
formation about the work of
commission groups and the or
ganization as a whole, will be
published periodically by the
council.
Plans are being made to con

Kecent Work
The most recent work of the
representative council has been
aiding in the development of
plans for all-membership gather
ings of the YW. The first all
membership meeting, which iff
open to all students interested, is
planned to be held March 7.
The work of commission groups
within YWCA is co-ordinated
through the representative coun
cil. Each representative is a
member of a particular commis
sion group. In the council meet
ing the work of the various com
missions is brought together, en
abling all commission groups to
know of the activities of the oth
ers. Activities of the council are
two fold. With the establish
ment of the representative coun
cil, the YW is able to keep in
constant contact with all women
students and is able to unify the
work of commission groups
within the organization.

see that old 'esprit de corps' revived. With it
would come not only an interest in the visible

necessary to a dynamic student body.
We could provide police on the campus to take

by admonishing students. But I think that if we
all take a personal interest in this project, it
won't be long until the matter will be under con

these individual "select-your-own" contraptions
were installed.
Indeed, there's been many a student who has
commented, "I wish they had that old jukebox
back in the Crib. The place just doesn't seem
like home without it."
That isn't the whole story. Maybe the old juke
box did stick once in awhile. Maybe it was tem
peramental at times. Just the same, it was in
strumental in creating a more friendly attitude
among Crib patrons. As it stands now, the cry is,
"Every man for himself!"
Maybe the latter way is the one that would draw
the popular vote. Fine all well and good. But,
if the "I can get something for nothing" idea
continues to dominate student thinking, the pres
ent record machine system should be ousted.
If the jukebox was re-installed, the corruption
now existing in the present set-up would be abol
ished. Students could again take on an air of
honesty instead of living in the shadow of their
guilt complexes. The Union would not lose money
as it is now. They would not be expending funds
needlessly to repair the present devices.

Lawn Detours
Spring, with its green grass,
song birds, and flowers is just
around the corner. With the
coming of spring, Ag campus be
comes one of the beauty spots of
Northeast Lincoln. Much of this
beauty is due to the rich, green
carpet of grass that grows so
abundantly under the expert
care of the college employes.
Again this year there is dan
ger that the lawns will not be
all that they might be, as judged
by their winter appearance. The
habit of "cutting across" instead
of "going around" will show re
sults. There is a fine network
of sidewalks and there seems lit
tle reason for habitual "cutting
across."
When the ground begins to
thaw, the damage of "cutting
across" will be even more se
vere than during the winter. It
takes only a brief while longed
to go around. The thoughtless
ness of those "cutting across"
can be overcome with little ef
fort. Let's co-operate to keep
our campus beautiful.
CORNHUSKER COUNTRYMAN
Leave Us Alone
To the Editor:
The rancor occasioned by lack
of indpendent student participa
tion in campus politics seems un
fitting and petty. It is neither a
proper issue for blazing editorial
crusades or cause for foot-stomping
anxiety by enlightened Greeks
and frustrated Barbs. The claims
of persecution that come peeping
from the independents seen, in the
main, to be sourced from squares
who pine to be wheels. That the
Greeks should dignify any such
laments by rebuttal show them to
have the righteous indignation
that could come only from people
with qualms about their own sit
situation, and the feeling of ag-
gresive superiority that doesn't
come from individual confidence,
but a follow-the-fraternity-broth-er
disposition.
It seems singular that no one
can realize that independents are
neither sluggish or filled with
the decay that some people must
characterize an individual who is
not bright-eyed and totally im
mersed in the politics of a dance
committee. Any student who as
pires to wallow in that type of
importance and attention can par
ticipate in multiple kinds of stu
dents groups; but it is narrow to
hold the independents, as a unit,
responsible for performing the
labor necessary to create the
questionable distinction of having
"spokesmen" and "leaders" with
equal or more voice than the
Greek champions. Independents
are not a family group with feel
ings of a united spirit The ISA
is not the title name of any stu
dent not a Greek, it is not claimed
or desired by most independents.
Leave us alone.

Chess Club
The Union chess club is re-
organzed under the direction of
the Student Union Recreation
committee.
Bill Munson is the temporary
chairman. Says Munson, "We
have had many calls from other,
schools to furnish players in in
tercollegiate competition, and in
answer to the interest, we are re
organizing."
The recreation committee re
cently purchased six new chess
sets which can be checked out
without any charge at any time.
The sets are now in the Union
checkstand and may be used at
any time for play in the game
room.
Those who are interested in
joining the chess club are asked
to sign on sheets posted In the
Student Union Activities Office,
at the checkstand in the Union,
and on the bulletin board outside
the Game Room.
The club will be organized on
a voluntary basis as before. There
will again be no dues.
At an early meeting, officers
will be elected to carry on the
business of planning and arrang
ing chess meets wit h other
schools, tl is the hope of the com
mittee that Nebraska can renter

Week's
Indictments Returned
Eighty-four manslaughter In
dictments one for each of the
lives lost in the New Jersey com
muter train wreck Feb. 6, were
returned this week against the
Pennsylvania railroad.
The maximum penalty against
the railroad if it was convicted
on each of the 84 counts would
be a fine of $84,000.
The indictments charged the
Pennsylvania railroad of "felon
iously killing and slaying" the
84 victims in the nation's worst
railroad wreck since 1918.
State authorities said a very
remote possibility is the state
attorney general's right to take
the railroad into another court
and ask that its franchise in the
state of New Jersey be revoked.
Officials of the Pennsylvania
will plead to the indictments

Home Ec 191 is the big topic
on campus at the moment. For
those innocent souls that don't
don't know what it is, you'll
have to wait till next year to find
out. Right now there are six sec
tions filled with students eager
to find out about marriage rela
tions. Your eager reporter wanted to
find out just how much the book
stores knew about the course, so
the same question was asked at
the three places. The following is
a condensation.
Naive Look
With a naive look and bubble
gum the reporter walked into the
first place of business. The young
clerk asked her what she wanted
and she told him about the nieht
lab she had to take in the mar
riage relations course and that
ch wanted the manual for it.
The clerk took one disbelieving
look and then snickered. Me sam
he was busy, but would get
Romeon else to helD her. An
other clerk was called in to an
swer questions while the first
helner stood back and bit his lip
to keep from laughing.
"Now just what was it you
wanted?" asked the second clerk.
"Well, I'm in this Home Ec
course I think it's 81 or 191 and
we have to get a manual for our
lab. It's tonight."
"Well. I don't think we have
the manuals yet. What section
are you in?"
Same manual
I don't know for sure. I just
transferred tsnd I was late to
class and didn't get his name. I
think we all have the same man
ual though, because all those
boys in the other class kept talk
ing about a lab?"
"You sav this is a marriage re
lations class? Did they mention
to you what they thought the lab
lesson was?"
"No, but this one that told me
to get the manual said he'd pick
me up about 8."
"Well, look, honey, why don't
you talk to your instructor first,
and for heaven's sake find out
his name. And then you come
back and get your manual." Then
with a motherly pat on the back
she led the 'sweet young thing" to
the door.
At the next place, much the
same thing happened after the
confused clerk had called the
manager. At last, they had a pri
vate conversation in the corner
and then called the young re
porter over.
"Look, about this lab manual
of yours," the manager started,
"I think someone has been pull
ing your leg." He then advised
her to forget the whole thing.
"But I just have to have it for
tonight This fellow that sits be
side me said I did."
Marrisfe
The exasperated manager tried
once more. "Look, what do you
think you'd do in a lab about
marriage. Take the first chapter
for instance-whafs it about?"
"Well, the name of it is some
thing about courtship. Oh. you
don't suppose . . .but how could
we? I mean boys and girls in
there together .that is . ."
She then turned to gather up
her numerous books and as she
turned to leave the manager

when it finally occurred that it

Incidents
sint assistant nrofes-
sor of English, told a coupla
stories that teachers tell one an
other about their students.
Classrooms Switched
One is about a student who had
a little mixup at the start of a
umcctsr The "student had the
right classroom, but the English
department kept switching classes
around. This student kept going
to class in the same room.
Before he finally got around
to asking his instructor about
which class he was in, be had
notes on Shakespeare, English lit
and grammar," also the textbooks
to do with each of these.
Another story was about a foot
ball player who had developed a
habit of coming to class late. The
player was pretty well-known
around the campus. The teacher
cured him of his tardiness by
asking him his name every time
he came into the classroom.
Business Letter
Albert Rosenberg told of a stu
dent who complained about a
erade he had received on a let
ter in a business English course.
He basea his argument on ine lact
that his father had read and
liked the letter.
Rosenburg didn't think t his
much of an argument until he
Raw the letterhead on the letter.
Tt cumi that the father was the
head of one of the largest de
partment stores in lowa ana tnus
would probably be a better judge
than himself.
