Final Stages of Ag Foods and Nutrition
Building N Construction Under Way
"Work on the new foods and
nutrition building is progressing
and I think we can reach com
pletion by January 1," stated Con
structor Wilson, "and we are now
ready to start on the plastering."
Construction of the ag college
building was started last Novem
ber and completion was expected
this fall. The shortage of labor,
rather than scarcity of materials,
has slowed up the progress. For
tunately, all the materials had
been purchased by the contractors
before Dec. 7 of last year.
"Extra demands, caused by the
war economy, are now being

Men Students
Corn for Labor Shortage
Men students at the university
college of agriculture have heeded
the suggestion of President Roose
velt that they can help alleviate
the manpower situation by helping
at home during their "spare mo
ments." Scores of them are shuck
ing corn during each week end.
Dean W. W. Burr had no def
inite figures regarding how many
are going home each Friday, but
indicated the movement is quite
general. He -said this is particu
larly true of students living within
a range of 100 miles from Lincoln.
Some of them are picking corn
on both Saturday and Sunday and
getting out 100 bushels each day.

"Therefore the human nutrition

students are leaving each Friday
afternoon. He said about 40 to 50
percent of the men registering for
work about the campus are not
available over the week ends due
to this work at home.
In some instances, the students
are grouping up and going to
farms to help get the corn out.
Dean Burr said he was sure that
the assistance was appreciated at
home on the farm.

Finds Ersatz
Starch Grain
Helping in the nation's self-sufficiency
program by developing
substitutes Profs. R. L. Cushing
and R. M. Sanstedt of the agron
omy department of the ag college
have discovered that Leoti sor
ghum may be used for making
starch.
Tapioca starch, formerly im
ported from Japanese-held Java,
was used in the manufacture of
glue for stamps and envelopes and
as a food. The Nebraskans" ex
periments have shown that the
Leoti grain will serve all of these
purposes.

A light colored brick has been
used as the main material for the
exteric:', with white limestone
trim.
Additional excavation for the
north half of the basement was
started last spring. This will pro
vide for a recreation lounge and
fountain facilities for students.
Included in the building will be
numerous classrooms and labora
tories for use by undergraduates
and graduates. Approximately
half of the third floor will be de
voted to research in food and
nutrition and advanced work for
students in dietetics.
Plans also call for a large lec
ture room on the third floor,
where various sections of organ
ized Agriculture and other farm
groups can hold meetings. The
building is approximately 57 by
160 feet.

mal will be the presentation of
the Farmers Formal Queen. The
queen is elected from an eligible
list of senior ag girls by the male
students attending the party. Vot
ing is done between 8:30 and 9:30
and the queen is presented soon
thereafter. Although filings for
this position have closed, the
names of the candidates will not
be announced until the night of the
party.
This formal is quite different
from most formals in that the of
ficial garb turns from gowns and
tuxes to aprons and overalls. The
party has always proved to be one
of the biggest parties on the cam
pus and is the time when all ag
college celebrates.
