It Is expected that Dandelion da
will bo a substitute for Arbor day at
the university. In many of the larger
Institutions of the west this day is ob
served by Improving the grounds in
every possible way. Arbor day pnBse'd
unnoticed at Nebraaku, but Dandelion
day tb all Intents and purposes will
take its place. If the students re
spond as it Is expotced they should
this Is t,o become one of tho regular
holidays of the school year.
Girls Want to Work.
Tho students are the ones most In
terested In t ho appearance of the
grounds, and there is little reason why
ovory able bodied man in tho univer
sity should not b'o willing to work for
a couple o.f hours one day la the year,
If such labor will bo a benefit to the
Institution, ,
Some of the women say that tho
fairer sex should not bo excluded.
They are not going to ho excluded bv
any means. On the contrary they aro
going' to be urged to help in what
ever way they can.' Some have aald
that they can dig more dandelions
than any boy, so they are going to be
given tho chance.
