There is a place not too far away
where Levi's jeans are not in fashion.
It's a place where people who are in
the know wear Lee or Wrangler . . .or
they don't care about what kind of
jeans they wear.
It's a place where country music
rules. As fraternities and dorms in
downtown Lincoln play New Wave and
Top 40 at full volume, it isn't uncom
mon to hear Alabama or The Oaks"
there.
It's easy to know another person's
name there: it's probably tooled on the
back of her leather belt.
A place where men are men, sheep
are in the barns and very few women
are scared.
Moo U. Cow Campus. Ag Campus.
East Campus. It's hardly a lost oasis
somewhere between here and Iowa
It's a community within a community.
East Campus is like a small town, a
true part of Nebraska, with fresh ideas
and the advantages of a progressive,,
fast-paced city. Some who live there
claim the place they came from is
"God's country." One resident said "You
can be the person you want to be, yet
the people around you care."
Somehow it's easy to forget that East
Campus exists.

Campus is a vital key to the success of
UNL and Nebraska. As part of the
Institute of Agriculture and Natural
Resources, faculty members may be
involved with research and the Coop
erative Extension Service in conjunc
tion with their teaching assignments.
Some are hired specifically for one
area; others divide their time between
branches on a percentage basis.
East Campus is known for UNL's Ag
College, home of some of the top agriculture-related
departments in the
nation and the only tractor-testing
station of its kind in the United States.
UNL's Dental College, Law College,
Barkley Memorial Center and an archi
tecturally unique student union are
part of "Ag Campus," too.
East Campus is quiet yet busy,
peaceful and uncrowded. People tend
to be pleasant and friendly. It's almost
as if it were in a place and time far
removed from City Campus. Somehow,
East Campus reflects the true spirit of
Nebraska. Hard work. Common sense.
Respect for life, resources and other
people. And a love of life and fun.
It seems as if East Campus rarely
gets the credit it deserves, like many
other facets of this university that go
unnoticed.
Maybe that's how East Campus
should be left to be productive,
prosperous and effective in its quiet,
unobtrusive wasy.

Today I'm going to do something I've edies like tennis racquets, swim suits,
been putting off: procrastinate.
Procrastination; say it slow and it
sounds like a disease. Something on
the same order as the word "parasite."

Actually, I think procrastination is a
parasite.
This parasite lives all year, but since
it molts leaves in the spring and then
flies on sun beams, one is most likely to
be infested with procrastination in
mid-April.
True procrastination has many symp
toms: Bare arms and legs ranging in
color from glow-in-the-dark-white to
nuclear-holocaust-red, but never Bermuda-brown.
Bruised knees and elbows due to
increased bicycle wrecks and frisbee
flops. Clean bedrooms, clean bathrooms,
clean kitchens, clean living rooms,...
Taxes completed by 11:59 p.m.
April 16.
Overdrawn checkbooks with in
complete balance sheets.
Increased patronage of local eat
eries and bars.
Fashion-clad individuals or reform
ed slobs who have found a new hang
out in the Centrum.
Backpacks stocked with home rem-
hacky sacs and pleasure books, but no
notebooks.
Notebooks scattered across the
campus that contain no class notes,
but pages and pages of priority lists.
Dazed eyes, especially at test time,
that are usually caused by poor class
attendance. .
Persistent morning headaches.
Large phone bills.
Students incognito hiding behind
dark glasses and dodging professors.
Increased memory loss. The lib
rary card is left at home, the assign
ment is "misplaced," and you lock your
self out of the houss.
Increased interest in sports like
Australian rules footbalL
Five radio stations blaring simul
taneously on 16th Street between R
and Vine.
Waking up at 7 a.m. and laying in
bed until 10 a.m., thinking of those
things you're supposed to do.
Rushes on the Acadsmic Records
Office to switch majors to philosophy
or anything else that can be contem
plated with closed eyes.
Traffic jams on the roads to Pio
neers Park and Holmes Laksc
Coffee becomes a food staple.
Annihilated GPAs.
If none of these symptoms apply to
you, see your doctor. Something, is
wrong. If you have three or more of
these symptoms, don't worry. Relax,
kick off your shoes, go to a park and
save all that homework for the week
end. Chances are it will rain.
