Dr. Lambert
To Discuss
Africa Trip
Dr. W. V. Lambert, dean of the
Collage of Agriculture, will speak
on his recent trip to Africa at an
all-Ag college convocation Thurs
day, Jan. 26.
The convocation, scheduled for
7:30 p.m., will be held in the au
ditorium of the Ag Activities
building.
Dean Lambert will discuss his
trip to Africa as a member of an
Economic Cooperation Adminis
tration expedition. He and two
other U.S. agricultural experts
traveled 21,000 miles by air, rail
and car through the British col
onies of Africa from July through
October of 1949.
The group observed the needs
of African agriculture and from
their observations made a detailed
report to the English government
concerning them.
African Impressions
On his return from Africa via
London in October, Dean Lambert
stated that "Africa is so different
from the United States that it is
impossible to generalize on its ag
riculture. Most of the farming is
of the primitive peasant type in
which each family farms, at most,
only a few acres."
Contrasting farming in Africa
with that in Nebraska. Dean Lam
bert said, by our standards the
level of living there is incredibly
low. The average cash income is
only a few dollars a year, he said,
but their demands are few and
the livelihood is very simple.
Alpha Zeta. men's agricultural
scholastic honorary, is sponsoring
the convocation as the first of a
yearly series presented by the
group.

New Twist'
Announced
For IF Ball
The inauguration of a "Greek
Week End" during the dates, Feb.
3 and 4, the date of the Inter
fraternity Ball, was revealed to
day by Leo Geier, recently-elected
president of the Interfraternity
Council.
The tentative plans, which will
put a new twist on the annual
all-fraternity ball, will include a
convocation with two nationally
known speakers on Friday, an ex
change luncheon among the fra
ternities Saturday noon, and the
traditional ball Saturday night at
Cotner Terrace.
"This is an entirely new and
different idea for the Interfra
ternity Ball," Geier said, "but we
think it will add a great deal to
the prestige of the ball and the
fraternity system."
Plans Include Convo
As they are now set up, plans
include a convocation Friday
morning at 11 a. m. with two
nationally-known fraternity mem
bers as speakers. They will speak
on subjects pertaining to fra
ternity life. One of the speakers
will probably be a local man and
the other from out of state, Geier
said. The convo is open to the
public.
The convocation has been ap
proved by Karl Arndt, chairman

Prices of student season tickets for basketball and foot
ball events at the University were upped 80 cents by Busi
ness Manager A. J. Lewandowski Saturday. Faculty tickets
laso were increased.
Formerly the all-season ticket was $7.20. Under the
new plan, a student can buy a football season ticket for $5.
He can obtain a ticket for basketball and all other sports
Student and faculty season tick
ets will not cover all sports, but
have been split into one ticket for
football and another which will
admit ticket holders to basketball
and all other sports.
Mean a Savin?.
"For most students this will
mean a saving, as many of them
wanted either football or basket
ball and the other sports but not
both," Lewandowski pointed out.
The football tickets will be sold
immediately following registration
in the fall and the ticket for bas
ketball and all other sports, the
week following football season.
The same is true of faculty tick
ets with the exception that the
football ticket will sell for $6 and
the ticket for basketball at $4.
Increased Costs.
The increased costs of travel,
equipment, and food has necessi
tated a slight increase in price of
tickets to the public, Athletic Di
rector George "Potsy" Clark said.
"There has been an increase of
only 42 cents of 20 per cent in the
price of football tickets since
1927," Clark pointed out. "Yet
prices of everything we use and
need to maintain a first class de
partment have risen much more
than that."

Continuing the "Greek Week
End" Saturday, the Council is
planning an exchange luncheon
between the fraternities at the

each house to two or three other
fraternities.
Saturday night, Feb. 4, the an

Gerhart, when he took over as
Cornhusker business manager this
fall, "had to shoulder the double
load of straightening out last
year's books while carrying on
activities for the 1950 annual. He
deserves a great deal of credit . . .
for this."
Hard Working
"Louise (McDill) fs one of the
hardest-working and most inter
ested students I know, especially
as regards student government.
Without her, . . . the Council's
work would be seriously ham
