Students Scuttle Scrap;
Profs Aid Campus Effort
Now that the homecoming drive
for scrap metal has fired the
imagination of the entire campus,
Nebraska has become to outward
appearances at least, just one gi
gantic junk pile.
Who was the local wit who re
marked upon seeing groups of
students scutting across North
16th street under cover of twi
light bearing odd and rusty bits
of metal and thin rubber tires
that this must be Nebraska?
Daily, nightly, hourly the clang
ing of collection adds weight to
the unsightly heaps placed con
spicouously in front of organized
houses. Passine breezily by the
too-enthusiastic efforts of the Phi
Psis, the whole campus shieks
into view:
Sad But Loyal.
Firts there is Mr. J. L. Sellm
of the faculty and his horseshoes.
Giving them but one sad look,
he cast them into the scrap. May
we suggest ping-pong?

Following the speaking tours
the rally proper will start from
the Union at 7:30 p. m. and fol

Tickets, which sell at 75 cents
per couple, including tax, are being
sold by Cobs and Tassels, and
may also be purchased in the
Daily office. Door price of tickets
will be 90 cents, so students have
been urged to buy advance tickets.

days. Piles of metal decorate
lawns before each organization,
indicating that the drive has un
covered much scrap unnoticed in
the city drive.
Closing at 9 a. m. Friday, the
drive will climax a week's prep
aration for the homecoming week
end. A cup will be presented to
the sorority and fraternity col

be judged on weight. Dan Hill

Metal company will judge the
scrap in collaboration with In
