Welcome to the University of Nebraska! Those of you

The next four years will be the busiest and the best years
of your lives.
University life will be considerably different from the
high school routine to which you are accustomed. You will
go to class earlier in the morning and later in the afternoon.
You r-ay even have a Saturday morning, class. You will
proba have to study for several hours every night during
the wt v much more than you have ever studied before.
Above all, you will have to learn how to utilize yqur limited
time to the best advantage.
Now don't get discouraged and decide not to come to
the University after all. Let's take a look at the lighter side
of the college student's life. The well adjusted college stu
dent has to have some social life along with the books and
classes. When the week ends roll around there will be
dances in the Student Union, picnics, and all Kinds of parties
sponsored by the many campus-organizations. There will be
football games in the fall, followed by Dasketoan, tracx, and
baseball later in the year.
If you are interested in extracurricular activities there
are a great many organizations on the campus with all sorts
of activity programs. Time spent in these organizations is
very worthwhile. Some of them are sure to interest you.
You will find that the University offers the best kind of
classroom education and extracurricular activities, as well
as social advantages. Make the most of all these opportuni
ties; and when graduation day finally rolls around you will
have achieved the maximum benefit from your college
career.
Don't let the first few weeks of school dishearten you.
Stay with it, and you will soon pick up the rhythm of college
life. Believe me, it's really great!
We'll be seeing all of you in September.
Sincerely,
Robert Raun
President of the Inoncents Society

Official Welcome ...
The University of Nebraska Builders again clfer me the oppor
tunity to welcome new students to the University. The world ho
rizon is again clouded and we are wondering whether the clouds will
grow into the dark clouds of a World war or whether the sun will
break thru for an ever brighter era of peace. Let us hope that it
will be the fatter.
Whatever the turn of events, men and women trained to ' think
clearly and to meet the complicated problems ahead of us will be
needed as never before. Democratic gc eminent and democratic
ideals will survive in proportion to the number of citizens who are
determined to keep this way of life.
That determination must be based on a knowledge of history, of
human institutions, of moral values and scientific techniques.
I speak for the Board of Regents, the Faculty and the Student
Body when I welcome you to the fellowship of the University of Ne
braska. Dr. R. G. Gustavson
Chancellor of the University of Nebraska

Study Habits
Pay Dividends
Hit those books, collegian! YouH
be glad you did.
University life may be new
and different and lots of fun
but remember, you're down here
for an education. The large
amount of money it takes for
four-years of schooling will be
wisely invested only if you make
the most of your learning op
portunities. Have fun, sure but always
aim toward top-notch grades as
the first thing in your college
standards.
There's nothing to keep you
from Phi Beta Kappa, scholar
ships, membership in honoraries,
or recognition on Honor Day as
a winner on the scholarship list
except yourself.
Study hard when It's study
time. Make every minute count.
Plan your work for the next
day's assignments and figure out
a sensible study schedule. Con
centrate and avoid interruptions.
Be prepared for class. Be on
time and avoid absences.
Welcome, Class of '54, to the University of Nebraska.
It is my privilege, as Mortar Board representative to
welcome you officially and to tell you of the 6pportunities
waiting here for you.

thus, for obtaining financial assistance are unlimited. With
the University counseling service, opportunities for taking
aptitude tests and the facilities of our complete Love Me
morial library, you will find that everyone here is pulling for
you, and urging you to make the best grades ever.
But, even more than scholarship, you've come here to
learn things not found in books. You can learn constantly
at the University, not only in your classes but outside of
them as well. You can learn how to work with people just
like yourself. You can develop your qualities of leadership,
executive ability and of carrying out responsibility This
can be done by joining various campus groups which are
making plans for you right now.
And there's more for you at the University of Ne
braska to help you develop your own personality, your own
abilities, and to help you meet people and become a part
of this your University.
You'll study, you'll very probably want to enter into one
or more of the extracurricular campus organizations, and
you'll want to have fun too.! Well, all of these things are
here, arid you'll quickly become a part of them.
From cramming for those six weeks examinations to
afternoon coke dates in the Student Union, you'll find every
thing you want at the University of Nebraska. No matter
what your strong point studies, extracurricular activities,
sports, or a well-rounded social life you'll find it, here
when you arrive this September.
What's more, we're all looking forward to seeing you
when you come to Lincoln and to helping you find all of
these things I've been telling you about.
So see you in September, and, again, welcome to the
University of Nebraska, Class of '54.
Sincerely,

Big Sisters Acquaint
Coeds With Campus
If you're an incoming coed, you
may be sure of one new friend
awaiting your arrival on the Ne-
braskr campus this fall.
This is your Coed Counselor
"big sister," who will be on hand
to greet you and help acquaint
you with the University.
This program, under the Coed
Counselor organization, is one
of the first introductions to Uni
versity life for many incoming
coeds.
Already, many freshman coeds
have heard from some University
woman who calls herself a "big
sister." Some 150 women students
take over this job of advising and
orienting freshmen women every
fall. Their lob consists of assisting
their "little sister" with problems
of registration, acquainting her
with campus life and helping her
adjust herself to the University.
Every summer, the big sisters
notify incoming freshmen of their
sisterhood, beginning a four-year
friendship.
When the fan term starts, and
as soon as students begin arriving
on camcui the "bifi sister" meets.
her incoming coeds and starts out
the year -long program.
The first get-together of all
Counselors and freshmen will be
held on Sept. 7, when the year's
program will be outlined.
The following week, the Coun
selors will meet their little
sisters at least once for a coke,
and help her thru the process of
registration.
Highlights of the year's program
will be the Friendship dinner, the
Christmas tea, the Freshman par
ty and many others.
Coed Connselors also bring cul
ture into their program. Monthly
charm schools and book reviews
are presented to the coeds. Then,
as a finale in the spring, a group
of coeds present a spring style
show at a local department store,
featuring the newest in clothing.
At the end of the school year,
little sisters are given the chance
for membership in the Counselor
organization. 'The organization is
made up of a board of officers
and committee heads. Marilyn
Campfield of Omaha will head
the Counselors during the 1950
'51 terms.
