Turning Our Eyes
Af Wav
O a
Those of us who tread the walks of the
city campus daily unconsciously forget that
another campus does exist, namely, that of ag
ricultural college. Terhaus that is the reason
that in looking at the building needs of the
university we have so often included only
those of the city campus and have overlooked
one of the more pressing needs, that of a home
economics building on the Holdrege campus.
It was probably our constant ignoring
of this need, in our plea to the legislature
to organize and approve a long term build
ing program, that motivated the letter which
we received the other day telling of the
work and growth of the home economcis de
partment. The central rlea of the letter states. "ln
order to adequately carry on ihe work of the
' home economics department, which has cained
for itself abundant evidence of worth, a mod-
era building, scientifically planned and
equipped is a crying need." As the basis for
its contention that the home economics division
docs offer a service of worth, the letter reveals
that the department is directly concerned w-ith
the study of the problems of the individual,
the home, and the family. Younc women have
been trained for professions dealintr with the
basic needs of people: food, clothing, shelter,
child study and human relations, especially the
family and the needed education of adults. It
clinches its argument by pointing out that the
home is strategic. It makes the town, the town
makes the city, the cities make the country.
Whether our national life be great or mean,
whether our social virtues are mature or
stunted, whether our sons and daughters are
moral or vicious, whether religion be possible
or impossible, depends upon the home.
That the present home economic build
ing is inadequate is apparent when ctae views
the fact that the present department is
housed in a structure which was originally
a dormitory. As new needs have arisen,
changes have been made in this dormitory
to take care of the various phases of the
work. The original dining room and kitchen
adequate for 80 students has become a cafe
teria where hundreds of people are served
each day.
That the present department is progress
ing in the face of inadequate building facili
ties is notable, and it should be an even greater
reason for aiding its advancement with proper
equipment. The home economics department
is no longer adolescent. Its tryout .period is
past. Its eraduates are located in responsible
positions in five countries of the world and in
forty-four stales of the union, and above all,
are proving themselves to be intellicent home
makers and leaders in progressive activities
in their communities.
Should the legislature see fit to provide
funds for a much-needed building program,
it would be more than justified in making
provision for a new home economic?, build
ing, recognising the vital worth of the Home
Economics objectives, and knowing how
they have kept abreast of the needs of life
as it rapidly advances. That the home eco
nomics department offers a worthwhile pro
gram is seen in the help it gives an individ
ual to live a satisfying life in a rapidly
changing world. Home economics has a field
of its own, one in which the many aspects
of personal and home living are seen as in
tegrated wholes. Presented in its broader
bearings, it contributes to an understanding
of how people have met problems of living
tinder many different conditions and how
they have raised the standard of living, of
culture and of civilization by improving
their ways of doing.
With the achievements of the department
us a background and a survey of its present
facilities, one must be convinced that the let
ter writer was justified in making the plea
"In order to fidequatelv carrv on this work
which has gained for ilself abundant evidence
of worth, a modern buildinc, scientifically
planned and equipped, is a crying need."
Campus Fashions
Turn Back Years
For Modish Coed
By Phyllis HUHt.
Is the campus being invaded by
a horde of child prodigies? At
what tender age does a young girl
relinquish her toddle-hood? The
campus is mobbed daily by indi
viduals resembling little girls with
ankle stocks, flat sandals or clogs,
short skirts, hair ribbons, and any
thing else that might subtract a
couple of years from that un
known truth.
Back in the early days of the
university the predominant fash
ions included an indefinite num
ber of starched petticoats, a huge
skirt, bustle, high topped , shoes,
sun-bonnet, and a parasol to
match. Then, too, perhaps the
most daring coed would carry a
mirror cleverly hidden in petti
coat number three (never to he
looked at in public mirror OR
petticoat).
Flying hair, short skirts, and
bare legs strike the mode of the
day for modern coeds, and men
have no recourse but the doubtful
one of donning short pants, tennis
shoes, polo shirts, no ties, and
Pop-Eye caps.

Copper haired, slightly freckled,
bright eyed Mary Ruth Marnell,
sophomore, and a Kappa Alpha
Theta, is the great grand niece of
Laura Hawkins, the girl who in
spired Mark Twain's character,
Becky Thatcher. Mary Ruth looks
very much like her illustrious
aunt, and will be-interested, no
doubt, in taking in the present
Stuart theater attraction, "Tom
Sawyer."
, Mr. Marnell, one time editor of
the Nebraska City News, lives
with the rest of Mary's immediate
family In Stockton, Calif.
Puppy Love.
Concerning the relationship,
however, between Mary Rath and
"Becky Thatcher," history has it
that Laura Hawkins, Mary Ruth's
great aunt, and Samuel Clemens
lived across the street from each
other when youngsters. Clemens
had the usual puppy love affection
which comes to small boys and
used to swipe goodies from his
mother's cookie jars and jam to
feed the young inspiration from
the other side of the street.
Laura Hawkins' sister married
a Marnell, which brings Mary
Ruth's family into the picture.
According to Mary Ruth, the pup
py love affair between the great
Mark Twain "and Laura . Hawkins
de-materialized, and Miss Haw
kins finally married a man named
Frazer.
Twain later pictured himself in
his writings as Tom Sawyer,
placed his mother in the role of
Aunt Polly, and Laura, freckles
and all, became Becky Thatcher.

cause business is waiting for a

educated help.
