Keep It Green
The university, using funds donated by the Cooper
Foundation, has undertaken an extensive and costly land
scaping project in front of Love Library and Social Science
Hall. The plans were made by Hare and Hare, prominent
landscape artists of Kansas City, Mo., in co-operation with
the university architecture department and operating su
perintendent's office.
Approximately 528 new trees and shrubs will be fur
nished and planted, and 185 will be transplanted in the
campus-beautifying project. The entire area has been
graded to give a more pleasing contour for the buildings,
and sidewalks have been constructed to better serve the
needs of th students. An underground sprinkling system
has been installed to provide adequate watering for the trees '
and shrubs.
The entire project is costing the University close to;
$50,000. Sidewalks and grading costs will be $ld,UUU, the
sprinkling system will be $15,400, and the contract price
for landscaping wil be $16,771.
When the project is completed, the city campus will be
much improved. But the success of the whole operation de
pends upon the students. The Cooper Foundation has done
a wonderful thing by donating funds for these campus im
provements, and it is the students' duty to show their
appreciation by taking care of the campus. During the past
two years, numerous attempts to improve the appearance
of our campus have been rrade, and they have met with
almost no success. Signs were ignored, and new paths con
tinued to increase in number.
It is common knowledge that the University of Ne
braska has a small campus in comparison with those of
other large universities. The post-war boom in enrollment
and an increased building program have been two of the
main causes for this. But a small campus can be beautiful
too. If the students will give their campus the same consid
eration they give their own front lawns at home, Nebraska
can have a campus that may be displayed with pride.

Freshmen Perpetuate
Tradition With BeanieS
BY EARL KATZ.
Are you an innocent, trusting,
naive Freshman? Heh! Hel! (
If you are, the chances are that
you are wearing a red beanie wtih
"52" on -it, and that you got it
at Ben Simons.
It probably all started when you
walked away, dazed and slightly
bewildered, from an official look
ing table at the exit of Grant Me
morial.
After filling out what seemed
to be innumerable registration
forms all morning, you walked
into the hands" of waiting Inno
cents and Mortarboards.
Registristration Proves Depressing
You filled out forms, wrote
your address at least four times,
answered "yes or "no a dozen
more times, then you sat in a
booth with a number hanging
from your neck and had your pic
ture snapped. This was probably
very depressing since it reminded
you of Sing-Sing, Alcatraz, or
some other unpleasant place.
While in this depressed mood, you
wandered up to a booth where
an important-looking man wear
ing a funny red sash across his
chest and a girl in a black suit
asked to see your Student Iden
tification card. Obligingly you
dropped what various papers you
had and presented him with the
card. 'Sign here on the line," he
said, very "official-like." You did
and then he presented you with a
beanie card. "Give us 50 cents,
please then take this card and
present it on the third floor of
Ben Simon's to pick up your
Freshman cap, and then you are
all through with regisration."
Money Supports School Activities.
Although you may not realize
it, Freshman, your money went to
support school activities such as
the Frosh Hop. You are also
perpetuating an old school tradi
tion: Freshmen wear their bean
ies until the "tug-of-war" contest
held between the freshmen and
upperclassmen. If you win off
go the beanies. If you lose, tra
dition says you must wear the
beanie until the. first snow fall.
So all ye who are wearing bean
ies prepare to avenge yourself in
the tug-of-war contest sponsored
by the Innocents which is to be
held this fall.
And they call them 'Innocents!"

Upon Registering Frosh
With smile on face, pencil in
hand, and leading his advisor by
a leash, happy-go-lucky fresh
man Salisbury Squinch whistled
his way toward the Coliseum.
Today was his big day. He was
going to register.
It was 8 a. m. and Salisbury
was confident of getting off to
a flying start. After all, with his
obviously superior intelligence,
he could soon master the registra
tion problems that troubled others
with a 'more deficient quota of
gray matter.
Super-Size Bull Session Convenes
Approaching the Coliseum, he
noticed a long line of students
apparently having a super-size
vited. Entertainment has been
planned and refreshments will be
served.
SCABBARD AND BLADE will
meet Tuesday, Sept. 21, at 7 p. m.,
in the Cadet Officers' lounge in
the Armory. Uniforms will be
worn.

TIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
COLORED PEOPLE will meet

though, that they weren't having
much luck as strange little men
in red kept mobbing the unfor
tunate frosh. However, his con
cern was considerably lessened
when he realized that these red
clothed madmen were merely
Corn Cob pledges tussling with
a reluctant Cornhusker buyer.
Salisbury knew that they
wouldn't bother him. After all, he
was of obviously superior intel
ligence and invincible to even the
most highly-persuasive salesman.
He strolled right into their midst

of "N" books piled on one arm,
