The Varsity cagesters showed the strain of the trip and were on tneir Passin and basket attempts. All the basket candidates were in suit for Monday's session and spent the first part of the afternoon listen ing to Coach Black explain several new plays for the benefit of the Kansas Aggies this week-end. Black is stressing the short pass game and had four basketeers working out his plans most of the practice session. Kaggies Lose Four Despite the reverse at the hands of the Drake Bulldogs the Varsity men are training diligently for the fame with the Kaggies on the Col iseum court, Saturday. The Aggie3 from Manhattan have lost their last four games after starting the season by defeating the Kansas Jayhawks easily. Saturday is about the time for the Aggies to hit their stride and pull out of the eighth place tie with Nebraska. Bob Krall's work at the guard position has been steadily improving and the Grand Island product is de veloping into Black's best guard. Krall has plenty of fight and in Mon day's play with the freshmen turned in a nice exhibition. Elmer Holm at the other guard berth is another vet eran of whom much is expected every game. Munn Celt Special Work Glen Munn, elongated center, has been receiving the special attention of Coach Black the last few prac tice.

Grant Store Mr. F. E. Foster, personnel direct or of the W. T. Grant Companr of New York City, gave a talk yester day afternoon at 3 o'clock in Social Sciences oa "Personnel Work." Mr. Foster also interviewed at dif ferent times during the day, any stu dents interested in retailing, and es pecially seniors in the College of Business Administration, who m:ght wish to accept work with the W. T. Grant stores. In his talk on "Personnel Work," Mr. Foster gave the qualifications of one working in this field, and Some points about getting into the work. The qualifications of a personnel man he gave as: a good disposition, a knowledge of the factual value of things, a pleasing personality, and ability to judge men. Mr. Foster stated that usually those who are working in this field did not intend to enter it when they started in business. Concise Answer Wanted In answering advertisements, Mr. Foster advised students to observe what questions were asked in the advertisement, and to answer those briefly and concisely. The man who reads these letters, Mr. Foster de clared, is pleased to find an answer written in a brief, concise, fashion, and is more apt to react favorably to it Mr. Foster said that many odd questions are often put to him. "For example," he pointed out, "one stu dent in a certain school that I re cently visited asked, 'What differ ence does the shape of my head make n the kind of job I get?' I replied 'None.' Pseudo-psychology counts nothing in choosing men for this work." ' Foster Make Observation Mr. Foster continued by giving a summary of the points he takes into consideration in interviewing a man. Tfcy are: whether hi hands are clean, an'8. r"Jj well-kept, whether he is chxn ai neat in general ap pearance, !vr he walks into the room, th i way he shakes hands, and hat ha hag to say about himself.

Frolik, who will succeed him next semester as the Coun tryman starts its eighth year of publication. COUNTRYMAN IS CLOSING PERIOD End of Semester Completes Seventh Year; Magazine Had Early Origin FROLIK WILL BE EDITOR The Cornhusker Countryman will close its seventh staff year with the end of the present semester, Elvin F. Frolik, '30, DeWitt, taking the place of Emil G. Glaser, '28, Lin coln, as editor. The present Cornhusker Country man dates back to the dim days of the history of the college beginning in 1901, when a bulletin called "Ag-i riculture" was issued for the first time. It was just a pamphlet affair, but it served its purpose well, and its popularity with the students was manifested in the fact that for twen ty years it served them as an official organ. In 1921 the present Cornhusker Countryman took the place of the little booklet magazine "Agricul ture." The change was necessitated by the desire of the Nebraska maga zine to acquire membership in the Agricultural College Magazines As- sociated, national organization ofjbraska; Oklahoma Aggies at Okla agricultural magazines. In order toihoma. meet the requirements of the or ganisation the present size paper was adopted. Two years later, in 1923, the Countryman gained mem bership in the national organization. Lants Was First Editor Mr. Grant E. Lantz was the first editor of the magazine. He put out quintet was able to put one lone vic the first issue in December 1921, a;tory in the win column.

With Mr. Cook's editorship the practice of changing the 6tafT during each mid-year was adopted. Virgil Michael enlarged the paper (Continued on Page 3.)
