AND TO YOU THIS
Feature Editor
It's a mystery.
The picture above was found
in
The Daily Nebraskan files.
There was no note attached to
indicate what it might have rep
resented or who might have taken
it. On the back of the metal cut
are scratched three letters RAG.
They offer no clue other than thai
it belongs here.
The cut roamed from hand to
hand around the office. Busy
reporters and harassed editors
took a minute to tip its cine
blue surface to the light and
speculate on its origin. The ulti
mate deduction was that this
picture means "all things to all
people." Once upon a brain
storm someone must have sensed
Its universal appeal and placed
it In the file to be preserved for
the freshmen of 1999.
What does it mean? One
