"We intend, by this action, to con

Farmer's Fair Manager
Addresses Freshman
A.W.S. Group.
Ag college activities was the
subject developed by Burr Ross,
manager of the Farmer's Fair and
vice-president of the Innocents in
speaking before nearly seventy
five members of the freshman A.
W S. at their regular meeting in
Ellen Smith hall at 5 o'clock yes
terday afternoon.
Including in the list of ag cam
pus activities such events as Coll-Agri-Fun.
numerous departmental
clubs, 4-H club and the Home Eco
nomics club, the speaker especially
stressed one of the biggest affairs
of the season, the Farmers' Fair,
held the Saturday following Ivy
Day.
An interesting factor which Ross
pointed out concerning the Farm
ers' Fair was the fact that all stu
dents enrolled in ag college have
some duty to perform in carrying
out the ' project. A pageant, in
which from 200 to 400 students
participate, exhibits of the various
departments, concessions, and the
lnter-sorority riding contest were
a few features of the fair which
the speaker listed.
The manner in which tne fair
boards were chosen and the mem
bers of the senior and junior fair
boards were additional facts which
Ross explained. He concluded by
knowing that the fair proved to be
an educational event and was an
important method or advertising
the university and its activities to
people thruout the state.
Dolores Bors, program chair
man gave a short review of tradi
tions observed at the university,
including the history of the Farm
ers' Fair.
A committee chosen from the
freshman membership was named
to assist the A. W. S. board in
writing point systems. They are
Lois Cooper. Pat Lahr. Jean Hat
ton and Barbara Rogcwater.

CORN COBS ABANDON
STUNT PRESENTATION
Men's Pep Club Discusses
Program at Meeting
Wednesday.
A discursion of the advisability
of presenting stunts between the
halves of the basketball games
was the main business at the
regular meeting of the Corn Cobs
Wednesday night at 7 o'clock in
the Corn Cob rooms in University
hall. President Ted Bradley de
clared that the Cobs were forced
to forego the presentation of
stunts because of the penny-throwing
that always results and usually
ruins the floor for the players.
"We will, however, attend all
basketball games in a body so that
our section will always be full,"
he stated. "Organized cheering at
the games is part of our perman
ent pep program and we intend to
carry it out by being there every
time to lead in the veils."

Chancellor's Request for Building Funds Ranked j

Wednesday with the selection of I
the ten best news stories appear-:

The stories were selected chiefly
on the basis of their news value'
but skill in writing, treatment.,
style, and originality were alsoj
considered. I
Selected as the most Important j
story of the year was that telling
of Chancellor Burnett's request fo? j

funds to be expended on univer-i

schemes. A list or neeaea duuq

quest was made for less than half
of this amount. !

The story quotes the chancellor ,
as believing that a new library ix j

Coeds Here Surpass Wisconsin
Women in Employing Lipstick
BY HELN PASCOE.
Whether the well-worn statement. "The Kyis Have It,"
should he changed to a new version, '"The Lips Have Jt," has
become a baffling question, for startling facts reveal that coeds
at the university use approximately 33,923 square feet of lipstick
per year.
In a search involving manyu
mathematical curves, it was found
that the average area covered by
each coed in adding lipstick to her
makeup was .95 square inches, as
compared with a survey made at
the University of Wisconsin where
the average was found to be. 83
square inches.
Another interesting comparison
gives the vital bit of information
on just how often the average girl
puts on this touch of beauty each
day. In this survey, coeds of Ne
braska are evidently much more
conservative for an average of five
times per day would probably
seem meager to those at Wiscon

fifteen to sixty times a day is
sufficient to keep them looking

NYA Outstanding.
Undents' annroval of a Nebraska

! subject material for the fourth

is to be a non-profit coi poration to
leceive gifts from private sources
and administer them in accordance
with the donor's wishes.
Also considered outstanding was
the announcement of an NYA al

fSwinistration granted the univer
sityXsi monthly payroll of $10,360
and about 773 students were thus
enabled to work in the various de
partments, earning the major por
tion of their school expenses.
The fact that Nebraska stu
dents voted against aggression in
a nationwide poll and agreed that
they would refuse to bear arms
for the United States if their coun
try was the invader was also con
sidered of importance and was
ranked seventh In the list of

When it comes to taking the av
erage number of times that lip
stick is used per week the situa
tion is reversed and Nebraska's
feminine population vow the aver
age per week is forty-three times,
thus passing the average of thirty
two set up by young women of
Wisconsin.
Believe it or not (and this isn't
Ripley) the coeds of Nebraska
would be capable of covering four
houses, with the amount of lip
stick which they use in a year.
Certainly the old adage, "Patriot
ism survived in the lips" would
sound better today as, "Cosmetic
manufacturers survive by the

from a campus institution and
three unsolicited from social fra

"We feel sure that we will leach
our goal now," Miss Selleck stated.
"The support given us by the cam

wants a student union building,
and by concerted action we shall
have one."
Pledges collected Tuesday in

Y. W. C. A. contributed $25.
The drive will be carried on

social groups the week following.
The proposed project, which
would be financed by means of
student and alumni donations and
by a federal loan which is to be
