THE NEBRASKAN
Meet the Other Half
Years ago, when the University of Nebraska was a building or two
on the prairie north of Lincoln, university founding fathers considered
moving the site to what is now ag campus. Instead, they left the school
majority of colleges at this present location, moving only ag college to
a separate campus.
As a result of this geographical isolation, ag campus has been vir
tually ianored bv city campus students for many years. Activities at
the "Barn" have attracted little notice downtown unless they come un
der the heading of traditional university affairs, such as Farmer's Fair
the presentation of the Goddess of Agriculture.
Few city campus students have occasion to visit at ag. 1'ew know
the buildings by name or the professors by sight, the work done in
classrooms and on experiment farms.
Tomorrow all university students will be given the opportunity to
Inspect ag campus from the newest building to the barns. At the ag
open house, the Goddesse of Agriculture will be presented, exhibits of
all departments will be on display, tours of the campus will be conducted.
Ag college hopes to make the open house as successful as possible
It hopes that city campus in particular will come out en masse to in
spect the other half of the Lincoln duo.
The Nebraskan suggests that all city campus students and faculty
members arrange to attend.

Clippings
Pat Chamberlin, Cer.zor
Bach to the Infantry .
We very soon tired of the marching;
And the barracks life wasn't heart-warming;
We all agreed that Infantry life
Was definitely not habit-forming.
i
Our first sergeants were apathetic;
Our C. O.'s caused great tribulation;
But after long months of waiting
They accepted our application.
We passed all the test with the greatest of ease
None of the questions could stop us;
Physically, we were right in the pink;
And the psychiatrist failed to stop us.
The psychomotor we breezed right through
In spite of the lights that were blinkin';
And shortly we were on our way
To the glamorous night life of Lincoln.
We polished our brass and shined our shoes,
And went to bed at ten,
And tossed and turned 'til reveille car
Then got up to do it again.
We learned the meaning of leadership.
And other things ethereal.
Like honor and codes and discipline
For we were officer material.
We guarded our health against the day
That into the air we'd fly.
And so for three long months we sat
And kissed the girls goodbye.
We suffered through the D
board
For some small thinor we'd miss
le DB t
igTwe'd
( I wonder how demerits run
For writing stuff like this!)
At times we had recreation
And a chance to relax from school;
So we'd all go out to the Day Room
And watch the Major play pool
We sang as we went our merry way
With the voice of an angel choir
Then came the day the fatal day
That Arnold sent a wire.
September 13th, '33;
December 7th too
These aren't the days that most of all
Our enemies will rue.
No, April 3rd, Yes April 3rds
The day, and mark it well
For that's the day the Air Corps came
And sent us back to hell.
Bring on those packs; bring on those guns
If love is there, remove her
There's nothing now but war for us
We're going on maneuvers!
Tis sad to say goodbye like this;
But it is common knowledge
That there's a war thi's to be won
And it can't be done in college.
Rejoice, all men, for victory's won.
With all that we hold dear
The Air Corps' closed, bring on your war
-Infantry, WE ARE HERE!"
AS ROBERT C. VINSON.

Congrats and all that to Harold W. (for
"Worried") Andersen, Nebraskan sports edi
tor, who is the new Stundent Council presi
dent. It is mighty nice to see a man at the
head of a university organization again.
We, along with innumerable other people,
are going to be more than happy when it is
nine days from now. By that time, the new
MB's will no longer be nail-biting junior
women, and the old MB's can speak to them.
We can always tell when Ivy Day is getting
close by the attitude, or should we say alti
tude, of the Mortar Boards. Funniest thing
we have seen yet is Janie Dalthorp of the
MB Dalthorp's who rushed up to a couple of
startled juniors the other day and greeted
them enthusiastically. Then she remembered
that she was supposed to be "above such
things" and immediately looked quite
chagrinned, assumed that "senior look and
beat a hasty retreat. ,
a
Most of the MB's have taken on their new
and cool personalities within the past few
days, but prexy Rae Lock has been giving
the juniors nightmares all year. All of the
little gals are quite convinced she hates em
with a passion. Whether she actually does or
not is something even Donaldine can't find
out.
a
Just for the ride: ag open house sounds
like a good deal for Saturday afternoon
panhellenic at UN is about to step into poli
tics unless things get straightened out in
the next election Ivy Day sing practices
sound good, as we hear them from all sides
about five every afternoon wonder when
the Cornhusker is coming out ?
Beach, Calif., while Ensign VICTOR J. GOERKE,
who finished his junior year here a year ago, vol
