300 HIGH SCHOOL
BOYS WILL ENTER

Students From Institutions
Of State to Gather at
Ag College.
DATE IS APRIL 24, 25
Minteer Makes Preliminary
Plans for Annual
Public Event.
More than a total of 300 east
ern Nebraska high school boys are
expected to gather in Lincoln for
tbe seventeenth annual agricul
tural contests held at the college
of agriculture on April 24 and 25.
C C Minteer, secretary of the
contest committee, made the pre
liminary plans for the annual
event public for this morning.
Starting in 1914 when Prof. H.
J. Gramlich, now head of the ani
mal husbandry department, had
charge of the contests, they have
grown until 37 schools were at
tracted to Lincoln for the judging
days last year. Up until 1929 all
Smith-Hughes schools in the state
competed at Lincoln but schools in
the western end of the state
started their contests in North
Platte that year. This year schools
in the western section of Nebraska
will hold their contests on April
16 and 17.
Twenty-Two In 1922.
A resume of past contests shows
that 22 schools competed in the
1922 contests held in Lincoln when
all vocational edurational high
schools in Nebraska competed.
Schools winning championship
awards that year in the various
contests included York, Red Cloud,
Eagle, Geneva, and Holmesville.
Eagle high school copped two
championship honors the next year
when 21 teams participated in Lin
coln. Fairfield, Randolph, Stroms
burg, Tecumseh, Milford and New
hawka were among the other
schools winning high awards at
the 1923 contests.
It took the Milford high school
boys to win two championships in
1924 when 21 echools competed at
Lincoln. Then in 1925, Waverly
won two high honors when 20
schools were in Lincoln for the
annual contests.
Albion Wins Twice.
Albion high school broke into
the record books with two wins
in 1928 when 29 schools were at
tracted to Lincoln for the judging.
The following year the numoer of
vocational high schools entered
again took a jump and 31 schools
competed. Following that year 34
came to Lincoln in 1928, the last
year that the western schools ap
peared in Lincoln for the contests.
Bad weather prevented many
schools from entering either the
North Platte or Lincoln contests in
1929. The records show that only
27 schools competed in the Lin
coln contests. This number, bow
ever, was increased last year when
37 schools sent teams to Lincoln
to compete in the eastern Ne
braska contests. Nineteen schools
were represented at North Platte
last year.
MUSICIANS WILL REGISTER.
Registration for the fourth quar
ter in the University school of
music, will be held Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday, April 9 to 11.

JDGING CONTEST
Reporter Sniffs Infant Grass as Sol
Laughs at Advent of Picnic Season
By MRS. GABBY N. CHATT.
Having been told by her super
iors to find some signs of spring
and write a story concerning them,
the reporter who writes under the
above signature was seen an after
noon or two ago lying prone on
the grass. She was sniffing the
sweei freshness of several of the
infant blades of grass, and using
her microscope in an attempt to
locate a lost, strayed, or stolen
angleworm waiting to furnish
nourishment for nome young robin.
While she was thus engaged, she
felt a burning sensation on the
lobe of her right ear. ''Say, Sol,"
she said addressing Father Sun
himself, "cut that out. I haven't
time to play with you today." And,
imagine her consternation if you
can, when that austere person
merely turned upon her a grinning
contenance and continued to play
with her ear, after the fashion of
all Sols, or Sons.

FEEDERS DAY PLANS
Head of Animal Husbandry
Department Declares
Program Ready.
MAY BREAK ATTENDANCE
( With Feeder's dnv less than two
weeks away, plans are rapidly
nearing completion to accommo
date 2,000 or more Nebraska farm
men and women at the college of
agriculture, Prof. H. J. Gramlich
announced this morning. Feeder's
day comes on Friday, April 17.
A complete program for the day
has been outlined, according to
Gramlich, and is being sent over
the state to interested feeders.
Several of the leading livestock
authorities in the country are
scheduled to appear on the pro
gram. No cancellations have been
received and the college of agri
culture man believes the program
will remain intact.
Results of the experiments con
ducted with hogs, sheep and cattle
will be reported on at the Feeder's
day. The most interest will prob
ably develop around a cattle ex
periment which has been dealing
with wintering calves under east
ern Nebraska conditions. Prof. R.
R. Tbalman has had charge of the
test.
2,000 Feeders Attend.
Last year feeders from eight
states outside of Nebraska were
present for Feeder's day. Twenty
five interested farmers from Iowa
were among the 2,000 farmers at
the meeting. Other states having
representatives at the meeting in
cluded Kansas, Missouri, Colorado,
Illinois, Texas, Indiana and Ken
tucky. Fifty-eight Nebraska coun
ties were represented by farmers
also at the meeting.
Information reaching the animal
husbandry department at the col
lege indicates there is more inter
est than ever over the state in re
gard to the meeting. Placards have
been sent to leading feeders, bank
ers and county agents to advertise
the meeting.
Given good weather, another at
tendance record may be hung up,
Professor Gramlich believes.

EDUCATION ARTICLE
Journal Higher Education

"Purpose and College Attend
ance" is the title of an article by
D. A. Worcester, professor of edu
cational psychology, in the Apri
issue of the Journal of Higher Ed
ucation, published by Ohio State
university. Professor Worcester's
article deals with the effect of per
manence of intention to attend col
lege on later college successes.
After a comparison or environ
ment factors, Intelligence quotient
and college mark, the author con
cludes that a definite and long
held intention to attend college
seems to have a more definite ef
fect on success in colleee than tbe
study of Latin in high school.

Copenhaver, Chairman, to
Provide Concessions
For Event.
ONE STANDWILL SERVE
In line with the fair board's
policy to emphasize exhibits
rather than concessions for the
1931 Farmers Fair, Ralph Copen
haver, co-chairman of the conces
sion committee has announced
tentative plans for his committee.
Despite the fact that more em
phasis is being put on exhibits,
Copenhaver and the rest of his
committee hope to make the re
freshment stand better than be
fore. In previous years there have
been numerous stands scattered
over the campus but the plan will
be altered this year when all the
refreshments will be served out
of one large stand. Fair patrons
will be able to receive hot dogs,
hamburgers, pop, candy and other
refreshments at the one large
stand all day.
Divides Group.
Together with Hazel Benson,
co-chairman, Copenhaver has di
vided his group into two sections.
One-half of the committee is
working on the tea room project
while the rest are to have charge
of the refreshment stand. Ruth
Mierhenery is chairman of the tea
room and is making elaborate
plans to make it one of the 1931
fair features.
Miss Mierhenery announced this
morning that students on her
tea room group include Hazel Ben
son, Patricia Synder, Goldie Gib
son, Agnes Madison, Margaret
Trobough, Esther Atkinson, Carol
Beatty, and Louse Hornong.
At the same time Copenhaver
announces that Harold Nickels is
to have direct charge of the other
stand. Floyd Ingersoll will direct
the construction while Helen New
berg will see that the stand is
properly advertised with signs.
Other members of the general
committee include Naomi Mc
Guire, Alice Zimmerman, Georgia
Yates, Cecil Sherfey, Scott Beadle,
Roy Blaser and Clifford Brown.
Tentative plans call for the
erection of the refreshment stand
just east of the student activities'
building. The size of the stand
has not been determined. Floyd
Ingersoll, however, is working on
plans for the construction of an
eating house that will attract all
hot-dog eaters.

STUDENT COUNCIL
POSTPONESPARTY
TO FUTURE DATE
Legislators Point to Many
Functions Occurring
During Week.
SCHOOL SING OUTLINED
Grau Proposes New Method
Of Arousing Student
Class Spirit.
At a meeting of the student
council held last night on the lawn
in the rear of administration hall,
it was decided to postpone the sug
gested all-university function to a
dale later than May 1 because of
the many conflicting events occur
ring on that evening. May 1 was
the date originally proposed for
the affair.
Fred Grau, senior class presi
dent, came forward with a pro
posal for an all-school sing every
Sunday evening on the campus. No
definite action was taken on this
proposal.
In advocating the establishment
of such an institution, Grau said,
"If the tradition of a Sunday eve
ning song fest could be estab
lished, school spirit which is ad
mittedly low now, would be greatly
increased, and with the increase in
school spirit, interest in such proj
ects as a student union building,
and so on, would be easily awak
ened." Too Many Conflicts.
Bill McCleery put forth the mo
tion to drop temporarily the plans
for the suggested all-university af
fair, pointing out that Farmers
Fair, the Kosmet Klub show, En
gineers night, and other events all
would conflict with such an event.
It was also pointed out that cer
tainty of definite faculty financial
support would have to be secured
before the council took any prac
tical action on plans for such a
party. Robert Kelly, council pres
ident, was delegated to secure de
tails of faculty financial support
Favor Sing.
The general opinion of the coun
cil seemed to favor the establish
ment of a Sunday evening sing
such as the senior class president
proposed. According to Grau and
others, however, the institution of
the tradition could not be under
taken by the council members act
ing as such, but would have to
come from the student body itself
or from the council members act
ing as a representative student so
cial group.
"It is my idea," Grau stated, "to
have no 'bally hoo' or advertising
publicity of the first sing. The
word would spread among the stu
dents, and they would come in
numbers, if for no other reason
than to satisfy their curiosity."
PLANS PROCEED
ALL-UNIVERSITY FETE
Roulette Wheels, Gambling
Motif Will Feature
Friday Party.
Plans for an elaborate All-University
party to be held in the
coliseum Friday night are under
way, according to Delphian Nash
and George Thomas, who are in
charge. Gambling of all sorts with
pseudo money will be offered to
those present. Three roulette
wheels claimed to have been taken
in a raid in Chicago will be part
of the extensive gambling equip
ment. Besides these there will be
100 other roulette wheels, games
of poker, faro, put-and-take. Dice
throwing will also be included.
Fifty dollars in fake money for
gambling will be issued to each
one entering the door. Fake drafts
for $200 will be sent to the spe
cially invited guests which will be
payable in the currency of the eve
ning at the door.
Frontier costumes will be the
vogue for the party. Most of those
attending will dress in this fashion.
A solid ceiling effect will be
carried out in decorations.- Ac
cording to Martin Klinger this is
to be an elaborate ceiling covering
and this and the decorations will
require a large amount of prepara
tion. Eddie Jungbluth's orchestra will
play.
Many guests have been invited
both from the university faculty
and from the state legislature.

trary, he is not only far from one
sided but is also quite successful,
as a rule, in the world of post
graduation, if the figures brought
out by Mr. Ewert from a survey of
tbe Phi Beta Kappas of the past
thirty years in Colgate university
are to be accepted.
"A frequent remark in college
circles," said Mr. Ewert, "is, 'If bo
and so is Phi Beta Kappa type, I
do not care o work for it." To
see whnt ground there is for this
kind of student opinion, research
into the record of all Colgate grad
uates of the last thirty years who
have been elected into Phi Beta
Kappa was undertaken. This study
has been concerned with three
things, athletic record in college,
participation in non-athletic activi
ties, and the positions attained out
in the world."
Some of the figures advanced by
Mr. Ewert from this survey report
that, out of the 416 honorary member-
of the past thirty years, rep
resenting 16 percent of the total
number of graduates during that
period, 68, or 16 percent, won their
letters in some sport. Of these 68,
15 or 22 percent, earned it In two
major sports; four more, or 6 per
cent, earned it in 'hr-e; one other
earned it in four. Furtbermore,

Each Stadium Door
To Street.
A $10,000 caucus beautiful proj
ect was started this week when the
rid ticket booths on the east en
trance to Memorial stadium were
torn down and work was begun to
raise the elevation of the ground
in front of the entrance, put in new
sidewalks, new flag poles, and
ticket booths.
The ground in front of the en
trances will be raised several feet
by the addition of new dirt and
will form a smooth terrace. Ac
cording to John K. Selleck, busi
ness manager of athletics and the
manager of student activities, the
athletic department has had the
necessary $10,000 for two years
but has not been able to go ahead
with the project because dirt
could not be found to fill in the
ground in front of the stadium.
The dirt will be taken from the
knoll between Bessey and Morrill
halls which will be cut down to the
same elevation as the other ground
of the campus.
A network of sidewalks will be
laid as soon as the ground is set
tled. Sidewalks will lead from each
door of the stadium to the Twelfth
street walk and another walk will
run along the entire front of the
east stadium, close to the struc
ture. These walks may not be
down by next fall because the
ground must settle but Mr. Selleck
stated that if the new dirt was put
in immediately it may settle suffi
ciently fo the walks can be put in
before next fall's football season.
Two large engraved flag poles
will also be placed in front of the
stadium. The official flags of the
university will fly on these poles.
All the ground will be planted in
grass and will be evenly terraced.
New Booths Planned.
Mr .Selleck said that no defi
nite plans have been laid as yet for
new ticket booths but surmised
that new stucco booths close to
the stadium will be built. He ex
plained that the old booths were
always taken away at the end of
the football season for the first
three or four years but since that
time they have been staked to the
ground end have been stationary.
The booths were staked to trie
ground because university stu
dents were in the habit of tipping
them over and it was necessary to
keep them in place.
The new improvements are to be
completed by next fall with the
possible exception of the side
walks. The project will be another
addition to the campus beautiful
plan and will head up the west end
of the memorial hall.

Kappas, 143. or 34 percent, won
positions of great leadership in the
student body," continued Mr.
Ewert. These presidents of lead
ing campus organizations; editors
of the college weekly or annual,
positions of prime importance; and
other positions of pre-eminence in
student life.
That members of Phi Beta Kap
pa are not "grinds but are alive to
the questions of tbe day," said Mr.
Ewert, "is shown by the fact that
49 were varsity debaters. Positions
of managerships, whether of ath
letics, dramatics, publications, or
musical organizations, all very
much sought after, numbered 70
among the members of Phi Beta
Kappa. Furthermore, this investi
gation shows that on the average
there is less than one each year
who took no part in student ac
tivities. "Theer still remains the ques-
Hon, "What have Phi Beta Kappas
done out in the world?" To begin
at home, where has Colgate uni
versity gone for members of its
faculty? Very frequeptly to its
own Phi Beta Kappa graduates,
we find. Twenty are on its teach
ing staff at the present time. Also,
117 out of 374 graduates of that
the first decade of the century, or
