Lt. William E. Johnson, former

consider if your place is in indus

Should All Goj
In Scrap Drive
... Say Queried Students
By Helen Hemphill.
Among new angles on the scrap
metal drive, has been the sugges
tion that old landmarks such as
the gate on the northwest corner
of 12th and Ft. street be torn down.
In order to get a wider view on
the subject, the inquiring reporter
of the Daily NeorasKan coniromea
several students with the ques
tion, "What do you tninK or tear
ing down iron fences, gates and
other landmarks on the campus?
These are some of tne replies
received:
Bill Todd, Phi Psi: Good idea.
Who gets it? Phi Psi's?
Barbara True, Tn-ueit: its
swell, if they don't use our fence.
Bruce Boyd, Delta Sig: It's r
good idea. We should look to the
future not to the past.
Kay King, Alpha Chi: its r
e-ood idea. There are lots of ok
fences and posts that could be
torn down.
Walt Olson. Delta Sie: Leave
them stand. We've gotta look at
the nast too.
Leonora Beck, Chi Omega:
think its a good idea. Nobody
knows what the landmarks stanc
for anyway.
June Griffin, Tri-Delt: Wonder
ful. Especially the iron fence
around Berlin tree at the Library.
Jerry Tubbs, D. U.: It's O.K.
It's for a worthy cause.
Jean Shwarr, D. G.: I approve
of it. It's not doing anybody any
good. It will be where us going.
From this poll, it can be con
cluded that most students def
initely approve tearing down these
landmarks and contributing them
to the drive.
