student treatment of chaperones.
In all the years that Mrs. Lantz
and I have attended the university
parties, we h'tve been shown every
courtesy. The student treatment
of us has been ideal."
"I do not think that the present
party system here is of social
value. The students do not make
new friends at the parties, as they
did under the old system when it
was the custom to fill out each
girl's program, before the dance
began, no one would dance with
the same girl more than three
dances." states Mr. Lantz. "If you
did you might as well hang your
pin on her, it amounted to the
same thing. Even if you were en
gaged to her. it was not the thing
lo do," he declared.
"There should not be a 'chaper
one's cornc' under this system,"
believes Professor Lantz. "It is
not harmonious with the idea.
Under the old regime, the chap
erone's corner was the thing, in
fact, I think a line, would be all
right. But as it is now, the chap
erones shou.d come as guests."
"1 object to the word 'chaperone'
anyway,' be continued. The fac
ulty members do not come as
policemen and they should be
treated as any other guenta are.
"All the parties are now any
way, are track meets, not social
functions. A man takes a girl,
dances her around the floor for
about a half an hour, goes for a
walk to cool off, to another party
to dance, and then comes back.
Very few of the students who go
ever excbr.nge dances," stated
Professor Lantz.
"I don't see how there can be
any improvement on the present
chaperone system," says Col. W.
H. Oury. commandant of the R. O.
T. C. umt on the University of Ne
braska campus. "When it is the
custom to go and dance with one
man all the evening, there is noth
ing left for the chaperones to do
but to sit anJ look on unless they
dance with their wives all evening.
"I have always received every
courtesy, when acting as a chap
erone," says Colonel Oury. "I
think that the students give every
consideration to the chaperones
that they can under this system.
If they did change the system to
the one in which dances are ex
changed, the chaperones would
have their programs filled like
everyone else," he continued. "Per
sonally I tavor the old system,
where a girl's program was filled
out in advance and dances were
exchanged "

BETTER FARM
'Outfook' Is Optimistic in
Looking at Conditions
For Year.
Agricultural conditions are like
ly to show some improvement be
fore the end of 1932 according to
the Nebarska Agricultural Out
look, released Wednesday by Col
lege of Agriculture. Altho Outlook
Btates definitely that the possibil
ity of agriculture regaining pre
war purchasing power during 1932
is decidcdlv remote, it holds forth
the hope that the year may see a
beginning of a price readjustment.
An increase in agricultural pros
perity can come only from a
change in the relationship now ex
isting between the prices which
farmers receive for the products
that they sell and the prices that
thpv nav for the commodities that
they buy. In all probability farm
ers Will Dcneill more uunnj me
coming year from a decrease in
the nrice of manufactured goods
than from an increase in the prices
of farm products.
Among the forces ' which are
listed as possible aids in improving
the agricultural situation are the
Reconstruction Finance corpora
tion, the Glass-Steagall amend
ment to the reaerai reserve act;
the increasing of the farmers share
of the consumer's dollar, and the
shifting of the tax burden. Farm
ers as individuals can cut costs of
production, keep books, distribute
labor thruout the year, reduce
costs of distribution, and get a
larger share of the family living
from the farm, the report declares.
