Interest rekindling in Arbor Day
By Rose Fitzpatrick
Arbor Day, April 22, the only holiday originating in
the once-treeless land now known as Nebraska, is cele
brated nationally and in parts of Canada with renewed
interest.
Although it is not celebrated to the extent it used to
be when it was set aside as a day for children to plant
trees, some people saw the 1972 centennial of Arbor Day
as a chance to rekindle interest, said John Rosenow.
Rosenow is executive director of the National Arbor
Day Foundation.
Trees are needed now more than ever and the founda
tion was formed to inspire people, he said.
The foundation, which has 75,000 members, works
with foresters in all states. One of their programs is
Tree City, U.S.A.
He said that 161 cities have been named Tree City,
U.S.A., a recognition that honors urban foresters.
People can't be separated from the environment,
he said, and trees are important in the city because they
help clean the air, reduce soil erosion, are a wildlife
habitat, and are psychologically and aesthetically benefi
cial to people.
Tree City
To be a Tree City, U.S.A., a city needs to follow cer
tain standards for administration of a tree program and
have effective results, which are judged by state foresters.
Lincoln's tree situation is excellent, Rosenow said
because it is one of the finer cities in the nation for the
amount of and care of trees, he said.
Tree City, U.S.A. was started because half the trees
in cities are on public property and there is no effective
management of them, he said.
The foundation also is beginning an arboretum on
property they purchased next to Arbor Lodge, the home
of Julius Sterling Morton, who is credited with starting
Arbor Day,
Morton was an agriculturist, a member from 1855 to
1858 of the territorial assembly that was to become
Nebraska and a secretary of the territory from 1858 to
1861.
Tree planting
Morton developed many agricultural methods and
spread agricultural information. Tree planting was his
hobby and he planted several hundred trees himself.
However, as U.S, Secretary of Agriculture from 1893
to 1897, he halted the free distribution of seeds because
of lack of money.

Arbor Lodge, Morton's home, was donated to the Ne
braska Game and Parks Committee in 1923 by a member
of the Morton family.
Superintendent of Arbor Lodge, Randy Fox, said the
Arbor Lodge State Historical Park has several arboretums
and a collection with 230 varieties of trees.
Loan applications
must be in May 5
The date for turning in applications for Guaranteed
Student Loans for fall has been changed from June 1
to May 5 to allow enough time for processing, accord
ing to Nancy Wiederspan, assistant adviser for Scholar
ships and Financial Aids.
Wiederspan said the date was changed because it has
been taking longer than anticipated for the institutions
that give the loans to process the forms. In some instances
the delay has been three months.
Students who apply for the GSL first should contact
the bank, savings and loan, or credit union from which
they wish to. get a loan. The GSL is awarded by one of
these institutions, but the financial aids office must
verify that the person seeking a loan is a student.
The change also has been made so students can turn
in the applications before leaving for the summer, she
added.
Once the students receive the forms back from
financial aids, they should return them to the financial
institution, she said. Processing through the office will
take two to three weeks.
