Caught another onel One of the fraternity men ' s favorite fall sports is painting Greek letters on jeans. Autumn-Spirits Rise While Leaves Fall With fall comes another college year. The campus turns to brown and gold as the trees shed their leaves. There is the thrill of seeing old friends again and of making new ones. There is the challenge of new classes and in- structors. A spirit of this year I ' m go- ing to do better or this year I ' m going to have some fun prevails. Trips to the pits are over; trips to the woods have just begun. Nebraska ' s formal social season hasn ' t arrived, but evenings are spent around fires, at movies or dances. Fall brings the ex- citement of football games, the fear of the first down slips and a flurry of pinnings. New patterns are formed; old ones are resumed, fl new year has begun. It may not be lovers ' lane but this couple doesn ' t mind as they pause between classes. 17
