University Foundation, Baby Organization of Campus,
BY MABOLVN HARTSOOK.
(EDITOR'S NOTE: One of the
more unknown organizations on
the university campus is the Stu
dent Foundation. And as yet all
the activities, the Foundation does
far more to help and promote the
university than any other. So
that the students may know more,

preciate more, the efforts of the

Tackle,' in the words of Web
ster is, "to undertake to do." The
word is often applied to athletics,
and that is why we use here.
About two years ago, a few of
Nebraska's most prominent ath

campus with an eye cocked to the
futuie, and apparently, with time
on their hands, and a good idea.

Full Support.
Mr. Du Teau gave the men his
full support, and has helped to
carry the ball over the line for
Student Foundation ever since the
first day of the Foudalion's un
obtrusive beginning.
The men worked! They had
tackled one of the biggest jobs on
this campus. Not only was it a
big job, but it was plenty im
portant. And it still is!
No university can be top-notch
without the verbal and written
support and enthusiasm of its own
students. The student body can't
expect to leave all the pushing
pulling, working and advance
ment of the institution to the com
plete discretion of the alumni. The
students are going to ha,ve to get

The men's pep organization has
been inactive during the war, but
before the war the Corn Cobs par
ticipated in almost every campus
activity. The group also grew into
a national pep organization, Pi
Epsilon Pi.
Actives in Corn Cobs are chosen
from the pledges who do the most
work for the organization. The
Corn Cobs, wearing red sweaters
with the pep emblem on front and
letters spelling "Nebraska" on the
back, co-operate with the Tassels
in selling yearbooks, ushering,
planning yearly migration to sup
port the football team and the
other activities on the campus.

us, it sounds like the knocking
of opportunity on the door of the
Student Foundation office on the
third floor of the Union.
Yes, it's true . . . the Foundation
is the "baby" organization of the
campus. Yet, it is as well-known
as the rest of them. We don't
mind saying that it probably has
more active members than many
of the other organizations of the
same repute. And rightly, a mem
ber of Student Foundation is not
just a member, he is a worker.
Not a paid worker in the mercen
ary sense, but he is paid in sat
isfaction of a job well done. We
are proud of the fact that every
one helping on Student Founda
tion is doing it because he really
wants to. Sending out publicity
to high schools is not an assign
ment to be handed in on a cer
tain day. No one is forced into
this business. If this were true,
probably the Foundation would
have been unable to survive.

Tackles Job
School Publicity.
We have been "harping," for
several paragraphs on school pub
licity and its relation to Student
Foundation. By now you prob
ably wonder just how we do our
publicizing.
We feel that it is most important
to impress Nebraska high school
students, especially those mighty
seniors, with the vastness and im
portance of the University of Ne
braska, and to make them aware
of the fact that right in their
own home state is the best place
to continue their education.
We have divided the state Into
seven districts. Each district is
under the supervision of a district
chairman, with county chairmen
working in each district. Though
the county chairman is a begin
ner in the work of the Founda
tion, it is to him that much of
the credit for the success of the
organization is due.. It If he
