UPON arriving in Lincoln about 8:30 on Friday morning, March 22, 1946, James tried to use a parking meter; but he decided that pennies wouldn't work (in that one). WE had heard that Sheridan Boulevard was pretty so we decided to see for ourselves. We found it and it is pretty. James called Mrs. Watkins to find out aTJoulT our University appointment. We ate dinner in Brick's Cafe--OH!l those malts I'. II AFTER dinner we visited the Wyuka Cemetery, east on 0 Street. Then we drove through the 'Wesleyan Grounds. We drove p st Miss Kosford's home in Univer- sity Place, as we were driving slowly through a school zone, one little girl took a sudden liking to handsome Romeo James and said in a high, squeaky voice, I played marbles ana won one!

■H IK MT - 20 - AT 2:00 we started from the Student Union on the University Campus on a tour through the University. Miss M. J. Way, a pretty sophomore, was our guide. She is connected with the Student Foundation. (We have her address, boysi Line form to the right I) M. J. took us through the Don Love Memorial Library. Very beautiful. We saw and heard the School of Music. Across the street is located the Administration Building. We paused in front of Navy Hall, where all the sailors on the campus live. This building used to be the library. Unfortunately, they wouldn’t allow us to go through it. We passed by the tree under which Dr. James Thomas is buried near Navy Hall. We observed University Hall, the oldest building on the campus. AFTER walking a short distance, we saw the stadium. Did you know that the football field is covered with canvas when it rains in order to protect the grass ana make a prettier field? Upon entering the Coliseum, we saw where four basketball games can be played at once. In the basement of this building is a 75-foct long swimming pool where M. J. had a class at 3:00. WE then crossed the street to enter Morrill Hall. In the basement and on the first floor are fos- sils of all kinds. Ughl We saw an armadillo and an anteater. Located here is the Hall of Elephants which is the biggest in the world. On tho second floor is ’’modern art, which would someone please explain to us? On the third floor are pictures drawn or painted by the students. M. J. then left us and we started to the Ag College. On the way we got in the way of a fire engine. Upon missing the road to the Ag College we entered Lincoln’s slum district, and found the fire-- someone's chicken house. (Fried chicken en masse on the hoof.) AT last we found the Ag College, and this time our guide was Mr. Thomas. Mr. Thomas showed us the Home Economics ouilding where we saw in session a (continued on next page)
