So commented Dr. C. M. Hill of Yale university after a summer of instruction here in 1938. The ap plause which greeted his statement indicated that it doesn't take fa miliarity with the Gothic splendor of Yale to make one conscious of the scenic shortcomings of most of the city campus. Of course, Nature has not en dowed Nebraska with Wiscon sin's lake, Boulder's mountains, or K. U.'s wooded hills there isn't much to go on here. But trees and grass and flowers are not an impossible dream indeed we have them in limited quan tity already. The Student Union's newly land scaped grounds, the shady expanse back of administration, the new pillared entrance to the athletic fields and the beautiful grassy fields themselves bear witness to what can be done. But these are overshadowed by the grubby park ings, the barren quadrangle be tween Morrill, Andrews and Bes sey, the weedy stretches known as malls. Ag campus has a mall too But it is crossed by walks that go where students want to go, is planted to blue grass, and bordered in summer by the most colorful array of verbenas, geraniums, salvia, and other flowers that one can imagine. Instead of being an eyesore, it forms a fitting center for the beautiful campus that is Of course, when one consider Nebraska's overcrowded class rooms, underpaid professors, un safe and unsanitary old build ings, a little matter like a holly hock seems painfully slight. When Nebraska buildings have a valuation equivalent to $832 per resident college student com pared with $2,287 for Iowa U, $1,241 for Iowa State, $1,466 for Minnesota, $1,441 for Illinois and $1,097 for Wisconsin whe. edu cational funds per pupil have fallen from $7.65 ABOVE the national average In 1925-26 to $12.95 BELOW the ration's av erage in 1935-36, we are prone News Roundup (Continued from Page 1.) the influence of the British has greatly declined in the east, dc npite a huge new loan to Turkey and a new understanding with Ru mania. Poland exists no more, save for an imaginary government in France headed by President Raczkiewics; Russia has three new Baltic bases; Turkey and Russia are somewhat reconciled, allowing for a possible interruption in the British life line; Bulgaria, Jugo slavia, and Hungary have slipped cut of the economic noose which the British had spun about their recks. The big question for peace then is the same one that will have to be answered after the war anyway can the allies accept these changes? Peace now hangi on that answer, as well as the future peace of the entire world. 9 to dismiss the questions of flow ers with a shrug. But a drouth-ridden state can not afford a new million dollar library or any other of a number of pressing building needs we are told, and more and more we are coming to a philosophic acceptance of this condition. But maybe we could take what we have and make the most of it. If we can't build a new University hall, we could cover the old shell with ivy. If we can't fill up the new section of the campus with imposing buildings, at least we could beautify the va cant spaces. Who will give the first holly hock seed as per Dr. Hill's sug gestion?
