BOYS AND GIRLS WEEK PLANS MADE May 31 to June 5 Are Dates Set For Agricultural College's Annual Affair The eleventh annual Boys and Girls Club Week dates has been set for May 31 to June 5, inclusive, ac cording to L. I. Frisbie, state club leader. The first Boys and Girls Week was held at the Agricultural College cam pus in 1915. The total attendance that year was seven. The total at tendance of the 1925 Boys and Girls Club week was 387, including 146 club girls and 198 club boys. Although the program for the 1926 Boys and Girls Club Week has not been definitely announced, Mr. Frisbie stated that the mornings would be given over the class work for the boys and girls and to leaders' conferences. R. A. Turner, a repre sentative of the United States Boys and Girls Club work in the North Central states, will be present to take charge of the leaders' conference. Boys' Class Work Divided The class work for the boys will be divided between the dairy and agricultural engineering work, with the college faculty of these depart ments in charge. The faculty of the Department of Home Economics and several outside speakers will enter tain the girls each morning of the week. Quarters for the boys and girls attending will be at the Agri-! cultural College campus and a lull program is promised each day. There will be trips to many points of interest in the city. The visitors will be entertained by commercial es tablishments of Lincoln. On Friday of the Club Week, the boys and girls will visit Omaha and make an in spection trip through the packing house, stock yards, and to other points of interest. Boys and Girls Club Week is open to two groups, the club members and local leaders. Application blanks are secured by the members from the local leaders.

THE UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, Mostly Students Attend Luncheon At Grand Hotel Thursday Ready To Secure Home-County Signers For Vote in Coming Election About fifty people, mostly stu dents, were present at the luncheon held at the Grand Hotel yesterday for the purpose of distributing pe titions for a vote on compulsory military training. Ernest Carlson, Hordville, was chairman of the meeting. He stat ed the purpose of the meeting was to issue the petitions that the move ment could be started during spring vacation. A person can secure sign ers to the petition only from his home county. "The ones interested will have to start in and work hard in order to succeed," he declared. The Rev. Harold Fey, Christian student pastor, outlined the essential points in securing signatures. Seven per-cent of the total voters must sign the petitions in order that the ques tion be voted upon next November. Anyone over eighteen years of age can circulate petitions. "Keep it always in mind that the movement is not against military training in general, but only the compulsory feature of it," he urged. "Remember that if young men are to be conscripted, there is no reason that University men should be the only ones compelled to take military training." The Rev. Harry Huntington, Meth odist student pastor, was the last speaker. He was pleased with the number that were present at the meeting. "If the Regents could see the turnout," he declared, "they would have no doubt about the stu dent opinion." He offered evidence to show there is nothing in the government that makes military science compulsory. Neither the Morrill Act or the Na tional Defense Act provides for any compulsion, was his statement. "In July, 1923," declared the speaker, "the question was brought before the Secretary of State of the United States. The report from him was that 'it does not appear that military science is compulsory as far as the laws are concerned." "Congress has never asked for compulsory training in time of peace," he continued, "so why should it be in force when it is not the wish of the government?" The country has rejected the prin ciple of compulsory military training in time of peace many different times, he stated. Quoting from the R. O. T. C. manual, he offered evi dence that the military party la ments the unwillingness of Congress to put compulsory training in prac tice. A statement signed by several notable persons, including Senator Norris of Nebraska, denouncing military training in schools, was read by the speaker. "I hope that no one is intimidated by the criticism aimed at us," he concluded. "We have many good people on our side and next Novem ber when the bill is passed, we will be thanked for our action."

A. Burnett, in opening the convocation at the Agricultural College Thursday morning said, "There are just thirty days left be fore Farmer's Fair, and in order to make a success everyone must boost for it all the time, be ready to do the work the committee asks you to, and now is the time to get started. The faculty stand ready to help in every way possible, and are willing and anxious to co-operate to help make the fair a success." Dan Seibold, manager of this year's Fair had charge of the rest of the program. He said, "It is very fitting that a convocation should be held just before vacation, and we hope that you will tell the home folks about it He also paid a very fitting tribute to Dean Bumett, because of his cooperation. It is the duty of the freshmen who have never seen a Farmer's Fair to learn as much about it as possible, and watch the bulletin boards that you can keep yourselves informed." Miss Benson Speaks Miss Edna Benson, a member of the Faculty Advisory Committee, was the next speaker on the program. She said in part, "You have a splen did Farmers' Fair Board but they alone cannot make it a success. It takes the cooperation of every one in school, and from the interest shown it looks like the Fair was go ing to be the best one yet." Prof. H. J. Gramlich, chairman of the Animal Husbandry Department, was called on." The Farmers' Fair is well known all over the state through the publicity it has received during the past few years and it means much to the institution, to Dean Bur nett, the faculty, and to all the stu dents. Chairmen Need Help. "The chairmen of the committees cannot attend to all the incidental af fairs and each person must function when he is called oh. We must overlook the shortcomings, we must forget petty jealousies, politics, or pessimism, and every one must be an optomist in order to make tho Fair a success." The following chairmen gave la short report on the activities of their committee: Amos Gramlich, parade; Gladys Martin, pageant; Erma Col lins, pageant costumes; Eiml Glaser, publicity; Arthur Hauke, guide book; Glen Buck, educational exhibits; Don Ray, materials; Wilma Perry, follies; Hortense Allen, institutional manage ment; and Melvin Lewis, dance. President Absent. In the absense of Edith Carse, president of Omicron Nu, National Home Economics Fraternity, Lois Jackman announced the following new pledges: Gladys Trullinger, Lincoln; Wilma Perry, McFall, Mis souri; Betty McVey, Haigler; Tressa Haley, Holbrook; Krissie Kingsley, Seward; Ella Wiedman, Meade; and Mildred Nelson, Wahoo. The latter two are now at Merrill Palmer School. Character, personality, prom ise of leadership, and scholarship are considered in choosing members for Omicron Nu. It was started at the University of Michigan in 1912, and Zeta chapter was installed at the University of Nebraska in 1914. It has always been one of the most active organiza tions of the Agricultural College campus. Offered Next ies through the use of machinery op erated by mechanical power. Also, the conveniences of the modern home have become possible only through applications of engineering. The above courses will therefore have cultural value for all Univer sity students in enabling them to un derstand better the industrial civili zation in which they will live. These courses will also have utilitarian val ue, particularly to certain groups of students. To the Business Administration College students, the courses on Pow er Production and Industrial Proces ses will be of direct value in many lines of work in which they may en gage after graduation. This is ap parent for those who become con nected with manufacturing enterpris es. Since jobbing houses and retail businesses largely handle manufac tured products, it would seem that the two courses mentioned should be of value to the majority of these students. To the students of industrial arts in the School of Fine Arts, the course on Industrial Processes will (Continued on Page Four) ' FRIDAY, ArRIL 2, 1926.
