' dean of the College of Agriculture, said the farms, which were given to the University, will be operated as demnnstrational farms and not for experimental purposes. Two of the farms. Dean Lam bert said, have been badly de pleted. He said the land will be operated under sound man agement practices with facilities to which the ordinary farmer has access. The depleted farms arc expected to beliuilt up by use of best agricultural practices in order to justify improvements. None of the farms will be sub sidized by the University, he said, and they must pay for their improvements.

Skilled car penters have been employed to do some of the building of the wardrobe-chests in each room, but much of the woodwork, drawers for tho chests and desks are built by students. They are under the direction of Prof. Men.o Stark, Industrial Arts professor, who is supervis ing all the work on the building.

In addition, Willi discussed SlZt I 'lrill UK'S Class Discussion Recent research on the effect of class size on student discus sion seems to indicate that the size of the group makes a dif ference in effectivness of the ' learning experience of the group as a whole, a survey at Stephens college shows. Wire recordings were made of classroom discussions and these were stcnographically transcribed for evaluation. According to the report, in a small class discussion tended to become argumentative, the student was more apt to de fend his personal position, and the students and the teacher be came distracted by single per sonalities. Groups that were loo large tended to overlook most of the individuals and the average stu dent could not develop his feel ings very far. It was also found that because the quality of par ticipation was lessened, the prep aration for the class was affected. Classified LIVlNiJHOOM. kll'hrn. 1 twilroiimii. 'in Cnmpus.

California U. Students Blast 'Loyally Oath' In a telephone survey of one hundred students made by the Daily Californian (official pub lication of the University of Cal ifornia) nine out of ten students do not desire a student loyalty oath. Only 46 would sign such an oath if made a requirement for entrance at the university. Although there has been no public suggestion of such an oath for U.C. students, precedent for such an oath was set last fall at the University of Texas. That university has in opera tion a loyalty oath requirement for the faculty and students alike. The Texas oath states "I swear or affirm that I am not and have not been a member of or affili ated with any society or group of poisons which teaches or ad vocates that the government of the United States or of any state or of any political subdivision thereof should be overthrown or destroyed by force, violence or ' any other unlawful means ." U.C. students' answers ranged from an outright protest if such a law be enacted, to passive re sistance or indifference. Manv students who were against such a loyalty check would sign the oath just to keep in school. Hall Fund Gives University Chance to Buy Art Works It has become i custom to do most of the buying for the Uni versity's permanent art collec tion from the works exhibited at the Nebraska Art association show. . 1 Through a bequest from the estate of Mr. and Mrs. Frank M. Hall, the University is able to purchase several works each year. As a precaution the Halls stipulated in their will that no purchase could be made until approved in writing by "two well-recognized expert judges of pictures and works of art." This year, Otto Karl Back, di rector of the Denver Art mu seum, and Frederick A. Sweet, associate curator of painting and sculpture at the Art Institute of Chicago, will judge the exhibit and make their selections for the permanent collection from rec ommendations of faculty mem bers and the state association. $100,000 Since 1930 The Board of Regents has i made provision that purchases be restricted to the amount of the income produced by the trust. To date no encroachmenj has been made upon the prin cipal. Since 1930, and including this year, nearly $100,000 has been made available for pur chases for "The Collection of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hall," at the University art galleries. Ap proximately $7,000 will be avail able for purchases from the Hall trust fund in 1950. The Nebraska Art association sponsors and pays the entire out-of-pocket cost of the annual exhibition. In addition to the purchases made from the Hall trust, the Nebraska Art associa tion purchases a picture or two each year for its own collection, which is housed at the Univer sity and intermingled with that collection. Together, the art works pur chased over the term of years by the University and the state association, constitute one of the outstanding collections of con temporary American art in the country today. TC Majors, Profs Hold Coffee Hour Over 300 Teachers' College seniors and their guests attended a special coffee hour Sunday, March 19, from 5 to 6 p. m. in the Union main lounge. They were greeted by Dean and Mrs. F. E. Henzlik and fac ulty members. The electric organ furnished a musical background for the in formal affair, the first to-be held in honor especially of teachers' college seniors. Seniors and faculty members were given identilicalion tags at the door by acting hostesses from the senior class and the advisory committee to the dean. Members of the committee in charge of planning the coffee hour were Janet Carr, Susan Koehler, Dorothy Borgcns, Harry Steyer, Elizabeth Schneider, and Don Vestal. The committee plans to make this hour a traditional event. The Union activities committee served as a co-sponsor for the function.

Later sue was returned to the place she was picked up. The accosters nicked up her books, returned her home and "thanked" her for the evening. One Escaped Two girls were Involved in the Saturday night incident. Two girls, one 15 and a 16-year-old girl, were returning to the home of the 15-year-old girl, where the other was to spend the night after the basketball tournament. The younger girl escaped as they were being forced into a car and ran home to notify her parents and the police. The other girl was taken to the same house and underwent the same treat ment as happened Friday night. Throe of the boys made ad vances and two held her while pictures were being taken. The fourth youth looked on. She was later returned to the vicinity of 7th and P Wagener said the "remarkable memory" of the girl who de scribed the car and the garage into which it was driven en abled the police to find the car used both nights.
