"Save Class Periods Fall Semester class periods be effective with the opening of the fall semester. - In essence, the. real feature of this alteration is" that adequate time is allowed to travel from one campus to the other for succes sive classes. The plan, theoretic ally, will enable students to at tend more classes in a morning than" can be attended with the present class schedule. Plans for staggering class per iods resulted from a petition cir culated by Ag Exec Board re quested that the university pro vide transportation between campuses with a private bus sys tem. In January the petition with seven hundred signers was pre sented to university officials for their consideration. After a short time it was returned to the board in order that they might recon sider the petition's demands since the university deemed it impos sible to operate a private bus system. On the basis of this re quest a plan was formulated whereby the present bus system could provide more convenient transportation between campuses. Members of Ag Exec Board are: Jack Baird, Lillian Lock, Phil Lyness, Duane Foote, Betty French, Ned Raun, Ruth Ann Medaris, Wilbur Bluhn, Robert Osier, Marie Abraham, Dale Landgren, and Marrianne Srb.

Hart Speaks At Ag Dairy Conference "Universal pasturization of all milk supplies is the one way of guaranteeing pure and whole some milk products to consum ers," said Dr. R. W. Hart at a meeting of Nebraska dairy repre sentatives this week. Dr. Hart, of -the U. S. Public Health Service, spoke during the Dairy Industry Conference which is being held on ag campus this week. His topic was "Milk Borne Diseases and Epidemics." The federal official said that there are three major diseases transmitted to man from cow's through milk supplies. These dis eases are: bovine tuubercnlosis, undulant fever, and various strep tococus infections. The most fre quent disease, the public health specialist said, is septic sore throat. The original source in most all cases where outbreaks of septic sore throat are traced to milk is a careless handler. Carelessness in pasturiaztion, Dr. Hart declared, can be danger ous to hundreds of milk drinkers and consumers, especially if the carelessness stems from poor per sonal hygiene. Professor L. C. Thomsen, de partment of dairy industry, Uni versity of Wisconsin, told the con ference that the dairy industry leads all other industries in the percentage of the consumers dol lar returned to the producer. For the whole dairy industry, 59 cents of the consumer dollar is returned to the primary producer. Professor Thomsen was dis cussing "Modified Methods for Reporting Operation Costs" in the dairy industry, and he explained that the dairy industry operated on one of the narrowest" margins of profit of any major indus try. The Dairy Industry Conference will continue through today and includes representatives of the processing and distributive phases of the Nebraska dairy industry. l-II Club Gathers Garden Seeds, Aids German Relief University 4-H club members have been requested to collect garden seeds for German relief, LaRayne Steyer, club president announced today.
