instructions to freshmen EFORE starting for Omaha, the student should procure a Bluejay and prepare himself by reading the neatly bound booklet of some 400 pages, telhng what he shouldn ' t do. For freshmen desiring more in- formation, this monograph has been written. 1 . Be sure to bring the family Bible and a complete genealogical record in order that you may correctly answer all questions asked you by the registrar. 2. The Union Station is where you leave the train. Try to pretend you have been there before. 3. Take the first car going North and ask the conductor how you arrive at Twenty-sixth and California. He may tell you. 4. Get off the car when the conductor tells you. If he was correct, you are in front of St. John ' s Church and across the street is the Beanery. Don ' t go near that place, the writer lived there once, and all the students resid- ing there that year passed their exams. 5. The big building behind you and to the left is the Arts College. Go and inquire for Mr. B. A. Kennedy and give him your checkbook. He will tell you to go to St. John ' s Hall. That ' s a better place than the Beanery. 6. There will be other Freshmen around and they will be lonesome, too. Ask one of them to go for a walk. Go West on California Street.

TRADITIONAL CARTOON A SPIRIT FROM THE PAST HE Colleges of Medicine and Pharmacy were not established until later and are not to be described here because everyone knows all about them, and besides, the followmg mstructions to freshmen wall give space to those two valuable professions. However, we may add, due to the fact that the College of Medicine lay somewhat outside the University, a number of the pioneer students were caught and scalped by the Indians. This quaint custom has come down to us today and is practiced by the upper class- men upon the members of the R. O. T. C. who frequent the clinic.

THE STADIUM OF TOMORROW a. Building to left is St. John ' s High School. It is customary for Freshmen to date girls from here and if they are satisfactory, marry one or two — sometime. b. Building to right and across the street is the Auditorium, where you hear your grades in mid-year and go to shows, for it is loo far down town and you get out just once each semester. c. Further West and to the right is the Law School. Don ' t pay any atten- tion to the shouting. It is Professor Charley Bongardt awakening Bob Patlon and at the same time endeavoring to get George Truman to talk on the day ' s lessons. : j CRfl HKlN d. Don ' t pay any attention to the moaning that emanates from the next building West. That ' s the Dental College. e. Go home, now, and sleep well, for on the morrow you must be of strong heart, as the Medics, under the supervision of Dr. Shorty Franz, will examine you. ou ' ll likely pass, so buy books and start cramming for the mid-year exams. f. Oh, yes; write home and tell the folks you arrived in sound condition — you know you promised. WORK HARD AND WEAR ONE OF these
