THE CRISIS
Saturday afternoon Nebraska lost
a hard-fought gridiron battle to Mis
souri. It was a good game, one in
which the outcome was never certain
until the very last and one which
Missouri should feel very proud of
winning.
Missouri had some breaks, but Ne
braska had some too. There can be
no alibi for losing. The Cornhuskers
gave all they had but that was not
enough to ffown the Tigers. Ne
braska never alibis, but congratu
lates the winner.
That game is over, it is past his
tory. Now what of the futwe?
The student's spirit before and
during the Missouri was excellent,
but what about the spirit in the
future? Is the Nebraska student
body one which worships victory or
one which stands behind the team
win or lose? This week will tell.
There are still six games on our
1926 schedule, six contests in which
the colors of the University of Ne
braska will be carried by the foot
ball team. The team will need sup
port in each and every one of these
contests.
Now is the time when the team
needs the whole-hearted support of
the entire student body. We may
think that the defeat at the hands of
Missouri means much to us but it
means nothing to us compared to
what it means to those men who were
out there on the field.
So this week will be the crisis of
the entire 1926 schedule. This week
will tell whether the Nebraska stu
dents are really willing to support
their team or whether they are
merely "victory worshippers."
arranged for every hour of the day
it may be impossible to have many
successful meetings of the student
body this year but some provision
should be made in the schedule for
next year so that the entire student
body could meet every so often or
whenever the occasion demanded. We
have the Coliseum now, why not use
it?

the most part, quite immune to the

"Again, we may visualize a home
located at the east end of 9 lonj
avenue that is flanked by lofty trees
and that, at about the time of thi
equinox, sunset appears in the west
directly in the midst of this setting
of trees, and the effect of all this was
that nature had provided a picture
with a central feature well supported
and well framed.
Cannot Create New Form
"Now, no architect and no artist
in all the long history of art and its
development ever succeeded in cre
ating a new form, nor will they in
the future ever succeed in so doing.
They have discovered the beauty of
form and have adapted it to our uses
more positively notable in almost all
the colleges and universities oi our d t t a d comfort,
land; to the extent that, as a general
rule, the greater their wealth and
opportunity, the more notable has
been their lack of adequate land
scape plan.
"In partial extenuation of this sad
condition it has been truthfully said
that the student enrollment in all
major educational institutions has
doubled during the past ten years
a growth that is bringing to our
trustees and regents a situation so
acute that it staggers our resources
and our 'ingenuity, and we have
sought relief by directing our ener
gies hurriedly toward the housing
problem, seeking available building
spaces without too much regard for
the settings and without too large a
perspective, and we have appealed in
r distress to our most available
THE FUTURE CAMPUS
Down in a basement room in the
southwest corner of the Administra
tion building there is an exhibit which
is now open to the public and which
should interest every student. That
exhibit is a miniature model of the
comp-us of the future.
The model is presented by the
Campus Planning Committee after
much deliberation and research. It
makes no attempt to designate what
buildings should be erected and the
locations they should occupy. In a
statement concerning the model, the
committee says:
"It is the intention of this
model to present the scheme of
open fairways and vistas, which
shall be established as areas up
on which no building shall be
erected. We plead that these be
not violated, feeling that their
perpetual preservation will en
hance the beauty and usefulness
of every structure that future
growth may require."
These beautiful vistas and fair
ways are what strikes one the most,
perhaps because of the lack of them
in the present campus. The entire
plan is beautiful and is a great tri
bute to the foresight and vision of
the Board of Regents.
USE THE COLISEUM
The lack of unity in the Nebraska
student body has long been a subject
for discussion. It has been cyie of
those things which it has been hoped
the future would remedy. It is, of
course, hard to have that same spirit
of unity in a large institution such
as this University as is found in
smaller institutions, yet there should
be some way to have more of that
spirit even in larger colleges.
For the past few years when this
subject was brought up, the answer
has always been, "Everything will be
all right when the new auditorium
is built and all the students can meet
together again."
It is probably true that the main
reason for this lack of unity has been
that the students never were as
sembled together; there was never
any place large enough for them to
meet.
In the old days chapel was held in
the auditorium in University Hall
and every student attended. In 1901
this practice was discontinued and
since then only an occasional "con
vocation" has been held but no at
tempt has been made to get the en
tire student body out to them.
Eut now we have the Coliseum, a
building which will hold twice as
many persons as there are students
enroling on the city campus at the
present lime. Now is the time to start
l i.'.HIr.( toward a unified spirit, a
KvbruKa spirit which would mean
're than r.Vjrtly cheering at foot-
Iue to the fact that classes are
architect to supply our most immin
ent housing problems, losing sight of
the artistic and cultural possibilities
of a setting that will make our build
ing a part and parcel of a plan thxt
will unify our whole campus, looking
toward the completion of a compre
hensive picture.
Lanolicapinff Like Painting
"A good campus landscape can be
likened, for illustration, to a well
executed and well framed painting
in which every figure has its place
and an adequate reason therefore.
We hve all noted that every great
picture has for its main motif a cen
tral figure supported by others that
are intended to emphasize the ar
tist's thought.
"This is exemplified by the famous
painting by Moncocci "Christ Be
fore Pilot' in which the figure of
Christ is supported by a Jewish rab
ble crying aloud 'Crucify Him', and
which is supported further by a like
ness of Pilot himself sitting in judg
ment in the case; every part of the
picture being devoted to directing
the observer's attention to the figure
that has been made the motif of the
picture.
"Further illustrating the same
point, I observe that we travel
thousands of miles, maybe to Yel
lowstone Park, to take a seat upon
what is called Pulpit Rock in the
Canyon of the Yellowstone in' order
to get a view of the falls which be
come the central feature of an un-
"For instance, it has been said that
a Greek workman some centuries be
fore the beginning of .the Christian
era, carelessly placed a hollow tile
cylinder upon the ground over the
sprouting Acanthus plant. In due
time the plant grew up inside the
tile and out of the top thereof. A
building contractor, passing by, noted
the beauty of the combination the
tile and the Acanthus plant growing
out of it. This became the motif of
the capitol of the Corinthian column
that has been reproduced to this day
in our most artistic structures.
Again, we suppose that a gable
roof is the simplest possible form of
construction, the purpose of which
is to keep the rain out of a building.
The form was used by primitive
builders for that purpose alone, and
without . consciousness that it would
one day be the form that should be
used as a covering of the Parthenon,
the most beautiful building of all
times, nor that it would become the
motif of the great Gothic cathedrals

of the middle ages.
New American Culture
"Again, after the same method,
there seems to be developing in this
ronntrv of ours a new theme, or
motif, in architecture tTTat, like the
others I have mentioned, seems to be
the result of chance or necessity, or
both. In any event, not premeditated.
"It seems to have been born of
the necessity in cities like New York
and Chicago, where the lofty build
ings began to make dark caverns of
the streets, and city ordinances be
came necessarv to provide an ever-
increasing 'setback' as tne Duuaings
assumed loftier and loftier propor
tions. And, lo and behold. It sudden
lv dawned upon artists that this
method of construction greatly im
proved the beauty and symmetry of
the structure, and as a result of it
we have such buildings as the Tri
bune Building of Chicago and the
new State Capitol of Nebraska as the
forerunners of a new and purely
American culture.
"Now we have observed that the
finest examples of landscape that we
find in the vicinity of our cities are
the golf courses, and, strange to say,
these were never laid out for the pri
mary purpose of creating landscapes
but were created for the sole pur
pose of providing nine or eighteen
(as the case may be) fairways that
the player might have an unobstruc
ted view between his tee and his fag.
The net result of which was to create
the kind of picture that I have de
scribed to you with the flag forming
the central figure, supported on
either aide hv trees or shrubs or
drives or creeks or any other natural
work of not sufficient note to detract
from the central feature.
Rulca for Landscaping
"Now to apply my interpretation
of what a picture is or what a picture
ought to be; by like rules, to a land
scape, or what a landscape should be
"I A landscape should have a
well-defined and well wrought bound
ary which would answer as the ar
tistic frame of our picture; and, nrst
of all. I might say suggestively that
a street or streets can never be ade
quate boundaries for a landscape, for
the simple reason . that its creator
may not control the vista on the other
aid. A thicket, a river, or a screen
of shrubs or trees might answer for
a boundary, or, where the necessities
of the case require, a landscape may
be bounded by a half block of ground
surroundine it and facing it, the
construction and planting thereon be
ing planned for framing purposes. In
other words, the first rule governing
the creation of a landscape is that no
matter where within the enclosure
the observer may stand he may not
be permitted to see an objectionable
thing from an artistic point of view.
"II The second important objec
tive that one should seek to acquire
is that there be no possible avenue
of approach or entry into our land
scape scheme through which an ob
jectionable view could be had, and
from every important avenue of ap
proach the builder should strive to
present to the observer a picture
complete in itself with a central fea
ture (preferably some monumental
building) supported on either side by
plantings or lesser structures that
may serve to accentuate the view.
"Ill In the development of a
campus landscape it seems to us that
the ideal method (and the necessary
one) is to create a considerable num
ber of these pictures complete in
themselves, dominated maybe by a
