Judging team
places 4th
at Texas
Nebraskons take firsts
on hogs, sheep in
southwest stock meet
In the largest and one of the
most keenly contested livestock
judging events ever held at Fort
Worth, Tex., the University of
Nebraska livestock judging team
placed fourth, it was learned here
yesterday. Only 14 points out of
approximately 4,200 separated the
fourth place Nebraska team from
the first place Wisconsin team,
or about one-third of one percent.
The contest was held Saturday.
The Nebraskans placed first on
hogs, first on sheep and fourth on
cattle. But according to Prof. M.
A. Alexander, coach who accom
panied the team, mules proved
to be the "submarines" that sunk
the Cornhuskers' championship
hopes.
Tegtmeier fifth.
Oscar Tegtmeier of Burchard
placed fifth individually on all
classes of tha contest. Marvin
Kruse of Loretto ranked fourth on
hogs; and Arch Trimble of Gothen
burg placed tenth on sheep. Teams
from 16 colleges and universities
were entered in the contest, mak
ing it the 4argest in the history
of the Southwest Livestock Expo
sition. Other members of the Ne
braska team were Mylan Ross of

Here am I, an actor, when I
should be a reporter. If I do not
suffer acute stage-fright or trip
on the steps leading down to the
dressing room, I hope that I may
once again return to the carefree
life of a reporter. Meanwhile,
though, I'll patiently await my
entrance cue and try for the bene
fit of my curiosity to see what this
life of acting is all about
The University Players with
drama In their blood like the life
they lead, it seems. Some of them
almost take on the personality of
their stage character. This life of
an actor is strange to one who has
not been a part of it before. I
wondered why the dresnlng room
lights blinked so strangely when I
first came to the practices and
then I learned that it was Just a
signal that the next scene was
atXut to begin.

When the prompter knocked on
each door and shouted a number,
I again wondered. For example, he
would use the number 32. Then I
learned the "3" meant act three,

Judd favors
Hawaii as
49th state
Ambassador of good
will speaks on 'Pivot
of Pacific' in ballroom
Lawrence M. Judd, ex-governor
of Hawaii and now ambassador
of good will, spoke yesterday at
a convocation in the Union on life
in America's Pacific territory. His
address in Lincoln was one of his
stops on a tour which he is now
making in the United States in be
half of Hawaii. One of the pur
poses of the tour is to help have
Hawaii considered as the 49th
state In the union with representa
tion in congress and rights for its
citizens to vote in national elec
tions
Judd began his address with a
history of the government, how it
has evolved, and how the islands
became a part of the United States
under tneir own free will
Judd has been president of the
association of pineapple growers
in Hawaii, and was in a position to
describe the business conditions
there, centering around the three
leading industries there, which he
said are sugar and pineapple in
dustries and the maintenance of
army and naval bases. "Pearl
Harbor, though not yet completed,
will be one of the largest fortified
harbors In the world," he added.
In describing the University of
Hawaii, he told of its enrollment
of approximately 2,000 students,
its five colleges, including liberal
arts, engineering, education, set
ence, and a graduate school of
tropical agriculture.
"Hawaii." said Judd, "is fast
becoming the Riviera of the United
States. One of the reasons for the
Increase in tourist business is that
the temperature in Honolulu is
never above 90 or below 5Z ae
grees. The best time to visit Ha
wall," according to Judd, "is in
May and June."

Colleges start-
relief drives
Fifty colleges in wide sections
of the country have undertaken
drives for relief funds and scholar
ships for European students who
are victims of the war and of per
secution because of race, politics,
or religion, declared Miss Cather

the newly-formed European Stu
dent service fund. Sponsored
jointly by the National Intercol

In the first week of the drive
students of Smith College raised
$4,100 of which $3,000 is being

In spite of an unusually dry

Reporter yesterday. The opinion of
the students seems to be about
half and half, though all thoso
questioned were very interested in
the mural and its construction.
One of the most prominent objec
tions to the mural was that most
students felt that the money could
be spent to greater advantage
elsewhere.
Eugene Liggett, ag sophomore:
I enjoy the pictures of the
month and the photography ex
hibits, but I think that the money
spent on this mural would be bet
ter spent somewhere else.
Florian Jaworskl, arts and sci
ences senior:
Yes, I think the money is well
spent, as the mural adds to the
atmosphere of the Union.
Pat Everts, arts and sciences
freshman:
No, I don't think the student
body as a whole appreciates the
time and the money spent on such
work. I like the mural, but I think
the students would like to have the
money spent on obtaining better
entertainments, perhaps a "name"
band.
