Student Cooperation Asked
In Campus Landscape Plan
BY SAM WARREN.
Special Features Editor.
It's here again!
It's name is "Campus Beautifi
cation." That well-known phrase has,
from time to time, prompted var
ious quarters from the adminis
tration down to complaining stu
dents to clamor for more planned
landscaping, more grass-covered
lawns or some at all, let alone
more!
For the first time, the adminis
tration's maintenance and upkeep
department along with a student
service organization is enlisting
the co-operation of all students in
its campaign to beautify the cam
pus thru a definite landscaping
program.
Obstacles.
In past years, four obstacles
have delayed university attempts
to beautify its Campus with living
greenery. The first stumbling
block was the depression of 529

he stressed, and will come down
when permanent classroom build
ings can be built. The great num
ber of students which swelled be
yond the capacity of existing
classroom buildings necessitated
the emergency construction. When
and if the Nebraska legislature
passes the Mueller appropriations
bill, permanent classroom building
construction can get under way,
Seaton said.
Student Health Building:.
Four buildings, one of them de
signed to house the student health
department, are now under con
struction on the quadrangle. worK

Refurbish Love Library.
The derrick in front of Love
Memorial library is being used. to
hoist up materials for the finish
ing of the fourth floor, which has
never een opened. When the li
brary was completed in 1941, it
was turned over at once to the
army for use as a barracks for
A.S.T.P. students. When the train
ing program was discontinued in
1945 and the trainees moved out,
the interior was adapted to house
stacks and reading rooms. The
fourth floor has not until now
been furnished for library use.
Seaton said that other campus

shrubs and sod around teachers'
college.
that made funds unavailable. The
second drawback was the parched
drouth years that refused en-a
couragement to any growth. Third
was the war-time scarcity of
labor, once conditions were favor
able. And fourth has always been
the difficulty of securing student
cooperation, despite student de
mands for landscaping.
Today, according to campus up
keep head C. G. Billings,, three of
the four vital factors are at hand:
sufficient funds, favorable condi
tions and adequate labor. Only
the fourth, student cooperation,
remains in question.
"Keep Off."
In an effort to secure that stu
dent cooperation, Alpha Phi
Omega, national service fraternity
will initiate the campaign by plac
ing over the campus 200 placards
bearing slogan reminders. In ef
fect glorified "keep off the grass"
signs, the placards will be placed
