The annual festivity falls on the Indiana game, Oct. 10. Innocents decided last night that Nebraska will have a "Scrap Homecoming" with junk metal and rubber replacing the here-to-fore elaborate decorations. Fraternities, sororities and organized houses arc urged to get in this drive as they have cooperated in decorations and make tire 1942 homecoming the best to date. The Student War Council, under the di rection of Laurel Morison is cooperating with the Innocents in this drive. The committee will handle the administrative duties and col lect the scrap, while Innocents will judge the efforts of the houses as in the past. Each house will be allowed to spend five dollars for a homecoming banner. This banner may either have as its theme the war effort or the football game. Innocents will award cups on the amount of scrap collected and orig inality of the banner slogans to both men's and women's houses; last year Sigma Alpha Kpsilon copped the men's cup with the best decoration, while Alpha Xi Delta won the cup for women. Houses will be judged on both the amount of scran and oriirinalitv of the banner. How ever, the main idea is to get as much scrap metal and rubber in front of the house as pos sible. The scrap may be put in buckets or piles so that it can be easily removed after home coming. All organized houses are urged to kill two birds, the axis and Indiana, with scrap in stead of the proverbial stone.
