Corn Cobs will initiate seven DOW meniuera it ciiiiciuu.i '"S"1 at 7:30 at the Delta Sigma Lambda fraternity house, 1425 R street. The seven candidates are men who were pledged last fall but who were unable to be initiated at the regular spring ceremony held Thursday, March 29, Irving Hill, president, stated yesterday. Active members of the mens pep club have been notified of the initiation and their attendance is required, Hill said. In addition an invitation to all past members of the organization has been extend ed The program will consist of initiation of new members, smoker and business meeting. Gene Pes ter and Clayton Schwenk are in charge of arrangements. Failure of any fraternity to have a man initiated into the pep club forfeits their right to membership for one year, according to pro visions of the new constitution, drawn up last fall. Names of other men eMgible for initiation, if guv. should be handed to the presi dent of the group immediately, Hill urged. Plans for Friday nights rally and demonstration for the Big Six track meet will be completed. Finals of the Conference outdoor cinder classic are to be run off Saturday in Memorial stadium. The rally is to be conducted through co-operation of the Inno cents Society, Tassels, "N" Club and Corn Cobs. It is the hope of the Innocents Society, sponsors of the rally, that Friday's demonstration will exceed in size and enthusiasm the spirit ed displays of pep held last fall during the football season. The Big Six meet is the last major athletic event of the year. Preliminaries, are scheduled --for .Friday after noon. "The new group of Corn Cobs is determined to prore its worth and to show that there is a real need for such an organization on Ne braska's campus. Friday night's rally offers an excellent opportu nity for its members to demon strate the sincerity of their inten tions by turning out and seeing that other students are present for the event," Hill declared.

The L'nifcd Press painted a dramatic picture of the event when their story said: "Drouth-dazed Nebraska, ravaged by the heat, insect parasites and dust storms, was dealt a new stagger ing uiuw ay me torces 01 nature early Friday when the first earth quake recorded in the history of the state rocked a wide area in this region (North Loup.)"

They are powerful, and in many instances have resulted in great destruction. "There are three principal causes," Professor Schramm explained, "They are, earth strains or stresses, falling roofs of limestone caves below the earth's surface, and volcanoes." Major earthquakes are usually caused by the first type. The sec ond result in minor shocks and tend to be more localized. Volcanic eruptions cause extensive damage thru the emission of lava flows, as well as by the tremors they transmit to the surface of the earth. "We find in the rock strata displacements known as faults. On land these displacements reach di mensions as high as forty-seven feet. Undersea they have been dis covered to be as great as 600 feet," Prof. Schramm stated. "At one (Continued on Page 3.) PROF. R. P.

DINNER CLOSES 1934 FARMERS' FA R ACMES Student, Faculty Members Of Board Review Ag Event Monday. PRESENT FINAL REPORTS Discuss Effect of Project On Studies of Those Working. By Carlyle Hodgkin " Student and faculty mem bers of the Farmers' fair board, at their annual dinner-meeting at the Shrine club Monday night, hauled out that institution called Farmers' Fair, dissected it, looked at it, and talked about it from every possible angle. Twenty-seven ag college people were present at the dinner at which a complete financial report of the student fair was presented and the 1934 board's business was brought to a close. Arthur Peter son, 1934's manager, presided at the meeting. Projecting sharply thru reports given by students and discussion by faculty members was the ques tion of relation of extra-curricular activities to regular courses on the ag campus. Strong approval of the success of the 1934 exposition was expressed by all of those who spoke. Some speakers felt, how ever, that participation in the fair took some students too much away from their school work. Bigger Undertaking. Prof. H. J. Gramlich, member of the student advisory board, pointed out that a somewhat smaller en rollment in the past year or two and the fact that so many students are now working their way thru college had conspired to make the fair a bigger undertaking. He lauded the students for the ex cellent fair they had developed this year even in the face of these handicaps. Dean W. W. Burr said the ques tion had to be faced as to how far such an activity might be per mitted to go at the expense of class work. He said be had talked to parents of students who devoted a lot of their time to the fair, and that in every . instance, .the par ehts felt the experience well justi fied the expenditure of time. Miss Margaret Fedde, chairman of home economics department, and Miss Bess Steele, faculty pageant director, both said they saw marked improvement in the student fair as a higher type of entertainment as the years passed, (Continued on Page 3.)

U S p. m Oaaaes meeting at 4 p. m., Tues., Thurs., Sat-, Panama Full of Interesting Things Which Traveler blisses on Ordinary Tour Says Student From Canal Zone Tourist Agencies in the United States and abroad have lately become "cruise-conscious." Steamship lines everywhere are of fering short ocean trips at moderate prices, prices which have been altered to fit the average pocketbook. They are heralding visits to the West Indies and the Islands of the Sun. They sing the praises of the lands to the South; they have forsaken Europe as the mecca for ocean voyagers and have concentrated on the West Indies and Panama. "Panama is so full of things which the tourist misses, declared Constance Clinchard, agricultural student, whose home is in Balboa Heights, Panama Canal zone. "The outlined tours of the Isthmus fea tured by all the travel agencies merely scratch the surface." According to Miss Clinchard they conduct travelers en masse to Old Panama, the Race track, Cen tral Avenue, the Presidencia, the government buildings, the Admin istration building, the Balboa and Panama waterfronts, Gorgas hos pital, a handful of army posts, and the locks. Tourists exclaim po litely, but they cannot help feeling that something is lacking. Strange Fruits, Vegetables. Many tourists give Panama's public market, radically different Communism, if Ever Present in U. S., Will Be Backed by Youth "If communism ever comes to the United States it will be nur tured by the 'lost generation" of today youths out of school and out of work," according to Dr. Henry H. Goddard of Iowa State university in a recent Iowa educa tion conference. The conference met to discuss the nation's educational dilemma and Dr. Goddard spoke frankly, placing the school problem of America directly with the national public attempting to rouse opinion in securing educational advantages for the youth of the nation as ade quate as those made available in past years to present-day adults. According to the southern Cali fornian Daily Trojan this meeting was highly pertinent as an indica tion of the near crisis of the educa tional situation; "It has been esti mated that at the present time there are 3,000,000 young people grouped around the ages of 18 to 20 who ere out of school and out of work. They are, in the charac terization of educators, "the lost generation." "Although there always has been this problem, it has been in a much smaller degree and the remedies will necessarily involve a change eoncerrud with more than the edu cational standpoint," according to the Trojan.

LAWYERS ARE DISCUSSED Group of Nebraska Writers Contributes Poetry to New Issue. "With destinations of Canada, Hawaii, England, Venezuela, France, Spain and all parts of the United States, copies of the Prairie Schooner will be placed in the mails some time this week. Ths leading article in the forth, coming issue is written by J. E. LeRossignol, dean of the college of business administration and pro fessor of economics and is entilted "Vocationalism in the University." The article is a discussion of the origin and history of universities, and their place and purpose in the educational system. "As to the higher education, or more properly speaking, the schooling of university students, it is a subject about which doctors differ as much as dietitians in re gard to food for the human body," states the dean, who is the author of several textbooks as well as short stories and a novel. Story of Teacher. One of the several out state con tributors to the magazine this month is Miriam Allen DeFord, of California, who writes a story en titled "Pride." The story is a pow erfully dramatic one of a school teacher who "was enough to scare the kindergarten pupils, and some time when she passed the kinder garten and glared in, she would scare them." It ends with tha reader almost liking this misun derstood person, and the little girl she tries to help. A humorous story, quite in con trast to "Pride," is "Muscling in ou Mr. Jenifer," by R. Balfour Daniels, of New Haven, Conn. The story is concerned with Mr. Jel lifer, a "nervous little man" who jumped apprehensively whenever he heard a motor backfire In the street, but who was the very in dustrious and discriminating editor of "Big Shot Racketeers."
