their understanding of the term

from the inspired to the dubious.

April Marks
50th Year of
H. Ee. Course
The home economics depart
ment will celebrate its 50th anni
versary in April.
Dr. Hazel Stiebeling, head of the
bureau of human nutrition, Uni
ted States department of agricul
ture in Washington, will be the
guest speaker at the anniversary
banquet for students, faculty and
graduates.
A convocation is being planned
for Ag college students on Fri
day, April 8. On Saturday, each
of the home ec departments wiM
hold an open house for gradu
ates and students of the entire
university.
Founded in 1899, the depart
ment was originally a room in
Mechanics Arts hall, where cup
boards, tables, a sink and a stove
were installed from an appropri
ation of just $15.
Miss Rosa Bouton pioneered
in the field at the university.
Provided that she could do the
teaching himself, as "money was
harder to get than blood out of
dry bones," she received per
mission to start a school of do
mestic science. Seventeen stu
dents enrolled the first year. This
year the enrollment is 300.
In 1908 the home ec building
was first used, and the course
of two years was changed into a
four-year course in connection
with the college of agriculture.
In 1946 the new Foods and Nu
trition building was put into use.
Study is now offered in foods and
nutrition, clothing and textiles,
child development, vocational ed
ucation. Miss Rora Bouton served in the
field for 20 years and was suc
ceeded by Miss Margaret Fcdde,
who has served the department
since 1919.
Unfortunately, for the quizzical
prowess of The Daily Nebraskan,
all of the polices offered the
wrong answer. The correct an
swer will be found at 7 p. m.
Sunday in the Union ballroom.
Admission is free.
Written and directed by Gay
lord Marr, the revue will take
the audience on a satirized tour
of New York City. Among the
sections visited will be the Bow
ery, Harlem, Greenwich Village,
Carnegie Hall, etc. The musical
will precede the regularly sched
uled Union movie.
Main characters of the revue
Include Milt Hoffman as Mr. New
Yorker, Bill Line as Mr. Lincoln
and Millie Hodtwalker as Lin
coln's wife.

BY JEAN FENSTER.
Fifty years of home economics
and who cares?
Today's issue carries a story
of the 50th anniversary of the
home economics department, a de
partment fully appreciated by
those in attendance.
How well are the functions of
the department fully realized by
city campus students?. Is it the
lack of an adult mind that brings
such remarks as "the cow college
kids" or "hicks from the sticks"
about the students concerned?
Since when is a farm background
such a drawback and doom to
progress?
Let us look into the feminine
side of the picture. No matter
what field a home ec major is in,
her program includes studying
basic foods and clothing problems,
personal appearance and habits
and then the technical aspects of
the chosen field. What could bet
ter prepare a college student for
her life, regardless of her ambi
tions and background?
In the program of celebrating
the department's 50th anniversary
an open house will be held for
both campuses to visit. In view
of the unobjective attitudes be
tween the campuses it is our opin
Interfraternity Council Rejects
Proposed Football Seating Plan
Dissatisfaction with the pro-1 ,,,mf iw Dr SwinHW ha,i
posed football seating arrange
ment for next season was shown
by members of the Interfraternity
Council Thursday.
The group discussed the plan
outlined by the Athletic depart
ment for next fall, and agreed
that it fell short of their expec
tations. They had submitted a
seating plan suggestion to the
Athletic board.
One Council delegate asked that
the proposed plan be published in
The Daily Nebraska, so that
"students can see what's the mat
ter with it." The Council objected
to seats in the extreme ends of the
balcony.
THE FRATERNITY represent
atives also discussed the investi
gation of Cornhusker page and
picture prices that they are con
ducting. Bill Norton, Sigma Alpha Ep
silon, reported on a conversation
with Dr. William Swindler, head
of the Publications board. He an-

ion that a visit to the depart
ment might enlighten some dis
torted views. We realize the lack
of objective thinking is found on
both campuses. We all belong to
one university embodying many
colleges, and as students of today
and citizens of tomorrow, are we
to be ones who discriminate? This
applies to both groups who are so
obviously opinionated.
This is not an attempt to in
tensify existing feelings' but rather
to pacify them and create a closer
bond of relationship between the
two campuses.
Last year's rodeo was our
drawing card, an event involving
more than work and risk of par
ticipants and faculty. It Is the
thing that both campuses are ask
ing for again this year, but which
has thus far been denied to them.
In an effort to create a closer'
feeling between students, it has
almost become a moral obligation
to further those events which will
accomplish this purpose.
In the attempt at co-operation,
the 50th anniversary celebration
Mill offer an opportunity for
biased students to become in
formed before being critical, and
a Farmer's Fair rodeo will help
to establish those bonds we feel
are so necessary.
