MiKioeioty announced today that a revolu
tionary idea will be used instead of homecom
ing decorations this year. 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 hcre-to-fore
elaborate decorations. Fraternities, sororities
and organized houses are urged to get in this
drive as they have cooperated in decorations
and make the 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
Epsilon 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 scrap and originality 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.

and the proceeds will be divided
proportionally among the partici
