Open house will be eliminated at the 1950 Farmers Fair. This was the decision made by the Farmers Fair Board on the basis of a poll taken among depart ment heads. OmittinR the open house tem porarily for this year has been approved by Dean Lambert after hearing faculty opinions on the Farmers Fair open house. Of the twenty department heads polled, eighteen returned Ihp inquiries. Results of the fac ulty poll were: Un- Ycs No decided Arc you in favor of open house as part of the farmers Fair? 4 Are you in favor of open house as it was last year. ... I Would you be in favor of moving all exhibits to one central place. ... 6 Do you believe it would be better to have only a few of t h e departments have open house each year? 0 Has student help in the past been sat isfactory? 6 Little Student Support One of the major opinions ex pressed concerning the open house was the lack of student support and cooperation in set ting up exhibits and hosting at them. Much of the actual work was left up to faculty members at the last minute. Some of the points empha sized on the polls returned to the Farmers Fair Board upon which they based a decision were: "Students are too busy or too interested in the midway, rodeo, parade, and so forth to give enough time and attention to setting up good exhibits and holding a satisfactory open house. The responsibility is left to the faculty and a few very con scientious students. Many stu dents never show up at all for committee meetings or on Farm ers Fair day." Alternatives The same department offered three alternatives: "1. An educational program such as Engineers day, with no carnival emphasis would be the best substitute for Farmers Fair. 2. Provided the students feel a need for a carnival, put on a Saturday carnival with no at tempt to camouflage it by me dieval "open house" programs. Let it be pure fun, with no class dismissal Friday afternoon. Good fun is quite commendable. 3. A suitable open house and educational day could be carried See FAIRBOARD, Page 4. II . "T?TT5!SsBr.

Agar will replace Benjamin Cohen, who will be unable to appear because of illness. Speak ing at 3:30 p. m. in the Union ballroom, he will give the report of the secretary-general. Dr. Frank E. Sorenson, faculty advisor for the conference, points to Agar as a "key figure in the United Nations department of public information and an in dividual fully qualified to speak regarding the allairs oi me or ganization." "Dr. Agar is a splendid speak er," continues Dr. Sorenson, "and has the advantage of having ad dressed many college groups on United Nations' topics during the past several years. In view of the fact that Cohen is ill," concluded Dr. Sorenson, "I feel we are very fortunate to have William Agar to represent him."

D. in Geology in 1922. lie spent two years during World War I in France and Italy serv ing first with the American Field Service, and later as a pilot in the American Expeditionary Force.

He also participated in profes sional work for private companies and state surveys. Agar accepted the headmaster ship of the Newman School in Lakewood, N. J., in 1935, where he remained until 1940. Active During War After the outbreak of World War II, as one of the founders and an active worker in the Fight for Freedom committee and later in Freedom House, he de voted his time to lecturing and writing in connection with the Tnpaninff of the war. the reauire- mcnts for peace and international I Contestants for this year's Whisker King will be able to register Friday at the Ag Union from 8 a. m. to 5 p. m.
