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.
