THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
NEEDLES IN THE HAYSTACK
BY LOUISE M'DILL.
When the traditional alarm clock goes off
promptly at 8:00 p. m. Saturday night in" the
4-H Club arena at the Fair Grounds, the 14th
Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben will begin. With all the glitter
and color of a "big-time stock show, the students
of Ag college will present their own annual com
petition in animal showmanship.
12 Classes Included.
Complete with 12 classes In showmanship, rid
ing and Jumping, the Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben is com
parable to the Omaha version of the show in
more ways than the name. Over a hundred head
f livestock will be shown by students in the
various classes of beef and dairy cattle, horses,
swine, and sheep showing and fitting. Special
features this year are the horsemanship events:
the coed riding contests, the jumping contest, and
the invitational thee gaited class.
A capable man from the livestock center tn
Omaha, Ed Janike, will be the guest judre for
the show and he will choose the winner of the
biff est honor of the show the grand champion
of all events. Two men from the Omaha Knights
of Ak-Sar-Ben will be on hand to present the
various ribbons and trophies.
Showman from Germany
Showmen for the 1948 Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben show
come from all over the country. Maria Leipelt,
a refugee student from Hamburg, Germany, is
the participant in the contest who is farthest
from home. Miss Liepelt is the only girl to enter
the showing and fitting contest of horses class.
Most other out of state showmen come from
neighboring states, but a few are from such far
states as New York, Texas, and Indiana.
During the 14 years of past presentation, the
Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben has always been held in tha
Horse Barn arena at Ag College. Nearly always,
however, the success of the show has been lim
ited due to the small space afforded the show
in the barn. This year, since the Block and Bridle
Club, sponsors of the show, have obtained the
arena at the Fair Grounds, the show should be
the biggest and "bestest" Ag college' has ever seen.
Defeated to Burrs.
And there is rood reason to make this the
best show ever, for this year's Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben
Is being dedicated to Dean W. XV. Burr and his
wife for their long and faithful service to the
Ag college and to Nebraska agriculture. After 40
years of being associated with the Ag college.
Dean Burr is retiring this fall.
All university students are invited to the
show. With the amount of work 'and planning
that has gone into the show, it should be well
worth anyone's time to go see it.

LETTERIP
r TJtr. Miller!
Enclosed is an article from Northwestern Uni
versity's paper which I thought clever and worth
publishing in our paper if it is possiDie to ao so
PUBLIC OCCURRENCES by Allen F. Paul.
College professors .like Republicans, marathon
dancers and people who collect snrunKen neaas,
are a fascinating and motley aggregation oi roe
ings.
The Drofessors' abnormal cavortings are especl
ally in evidence at the present time of the school
rear. ,
Namely, the time for final examinations. It Is
at this period of the school year, as you stu
dents well know, that the uncomfortable, loath
some academic disease Essay-Questionitis breaks
out admist the professional tribe.
Amonr other things, In manifestations of the
disease, these professors badrer their wives, bay
at full moons, fumble through pagan rituals and
of course, make out "essay Questions."
Because there is no serum or medicinal defense
against this scholastic evil, this column has de
cided upon the next best answer. To wit: It will
publish representative questions from different
subjects that way, at least, preparing the un
vaccinated students to meet the onslaught of "es
say questions.'
ALL THE QUESTIONS PRINTED HEREIN
WERE TAKEN FROM PROFESSORS' ABSENCES,
TOO, THE QUESTIONS ARE NOT THOSE OF
SPECIFIC CLASSES. ONLY ENTIRE SUBJECT
ARE INCLUDED. IT IS THE BEST THIS COL
UMN COULD DO.
Stealing exam questions, as you probably
know is risky, dangerous business.
HISTORY: Trace the historv of the human raro
up to 9:30 a. m. today. Include everything, of
course, uui De Driei. unis is not a generalized
question.
PSYCHOLOGY: What did Siemund Frond
have on his mind? Don't answer sex. It will be
considered wrong. Be brief. This isn't an essay
question.
ENGLISH: Show how Emerson and Chaucer
differed on the nominative absolute. Also trace
literature, beginning with Beowulf. Be brief.
SOCIOLOGY: Why do people commit crimes?
now many bath tubs in New Delhi? Don't be
wordy.
POLITICAL SCIENCE: Detail the political
philosophies of the world's 2,345 greatest political
leaders, ne Drier.
PHYSICS: Exdain the deficients In io
ory of relativity. Not understanding the theory
is no excuse for not answering. Don't write
more man one Diue book page."
Sincerely yours.

If election time "doesn't roll

Get In Practice . . .
University students will vote if they are sufficiently inter
ested in the issue at stake. This fact was definitely established
at Tuesday's election on the NSA proposal.
The turnout at the city campus and ag campus polling places
eclipsed all previous campus voting records. An . unofficial esti
mate of the total votes cast put the number of voters at nearly
25 percent of the student body. The previous high had been ap
proximately a 20 percent turnout at last spring's campus eleo
tion.
Whether the same interest will be shown in the approaching
spring elections is questionable. But in any event, some univer
sity students probably cast their first ballot in a school election.
The opportunity could not have come at a better time. With
state primaries and the campus spring elections at hand, the vot
ing habit is worth cultivating. We hope the same interest will
extend to these later elections.
