NU Prays for 'No Wind'
As Landscaping Develops
It's all over the campus now!
Students in Sosh were the first
to suffer, but now everyone is
praying that there will be no wind
from any direction for a few
days.
Of course we're talking about
the landscaping process now being
carried out. Before long the Ne
braska campus will take on a
new lock, with trees, flowers and
grass replacing the weeds and
dust of past years.
Even roses will grace the cam
pus. On both sides of the walks
lea ling to Love Library from the
south rose bushes have been
planted.
NO LONGER will students
have reason to moan about the
lack of grass and trees Nebraska
is poing to have them! Arbor Day,
April 22, was the occasion for the
planting of several trees east and
south of the library.
The transformation all comes as
a result of a gift to the University
from the Cooper Foundation for
the purpose of landscaping around
Love library and Social Science
hall.
The beginning of summer school
last year saw the first steps to

Psychologist
Calls Activities
Too Frivolous
Pajama races, date bureaus and
pink teas take up too much time
of American college students, in
the opinion of one woman psy
chologist. These and many other campus
activities are detrimental to the
welfare of the student, Mrs. Ruth
O. McCarn said in an address at
the annual conference of the
Council of Guidance and Personal
Associations, recently held in Chi
cago. THE PSYCHOLOGIST told the
conference:
"It should be a matter of con
cern to us that a large number
of the activities that go on in
our colleges are concerned with
trivialities, are leader-centered
rather than group-centered, and
may actually undermine the men
tal health of our students by in
creasing their competitiveness, as
well as by overtaxing their
strength and distracting their at
tention from the serious issues
before us today.
"Instead of letting our time
and energy be used up supervis
ing dances, teas, queen contests,
rushing, campus politics, infrac
tions ol petty rules for dormitory
living, pajama races and date bu
reaus, we could, with the help
of our students, find out what
are their serious concerns about
the meaning of life and help them
relate themselves to the causes in
which they believe."
Mrs. McCarn is vice president
of the National Association of
Deans of Women, and psycho
logist at the Psychiatric Institute
of the Chicago Municipal Court.

arrangement of the sidewalks
around the buildings. The walks
have been planned to follow more
graceful lines, and to be more
convenient for students going to
and from classes.
LAST FALL a number of
shrubs and small trees were
planted around the two buildings.
Now that spring is here again,
the work is being resumed.
During Spring vacation, work
men were bu.'-y planting rose
bushes and othoi shrubs in front
of the library. Now grass is being
sown, as the tinal step in the
beautification process.
So patience please! The result
of a "pretty" campus will be
worth the inconvenience it may
cause! I
