Yes, we have
no hollyhocks
"I do hope the next time I re
turn to the Nebraska city cam
pus, there will be at least one
morning glory and one hollyhock
planted and growing around the
building you call your teachers
college."
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.

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.

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.
