Secret Fair servicemen, all reportedly weighing over 180, checked pro per garb. Notes reporting sabo teurs were passed in classes and then the guilty were punished by the authorities. No Dunking However, due to the fact that eight engineering students were dunked in the tank for not wear ing the traditional denim during this week, the plan was aban doned last year and again will not be enacted for this year's Fair.

The Feeders' Day program has been termed one of the most popular farm meetings in the midwest. Farmers come to the Ag college to catch up on the latest research in animal nuitri tion and to view the institution's experimental stock. Prof. William J.

The clinic is being conducted by the clothing and textile stu dents in Advance Costume De sign 123. Students in the class will coun sel girls who make appointments with them during those two weeks. Besides helping the coun selees with specific problems in wardrobe, costuming, grooming and the like, the clinic will help the students sponsoring the clinic to obtain counseling experience. Courses such as Costume De sign 23, fashion merchandising, clothing and art courses have given them the basic technical training. Since many of them may be doing this type of work upon graduation, the clinic is de signed to help them train. The clinic will be held on the third floor of the Home Econom ics building. Mrs. Mary Hall is instructor of the class holding the clinic. Students who have expressed an interest in the clinic will be notified this week. Present Size Extensive Campus Coverage While the Union works on an expansion program, The Daily Nebraskan is struggling to main tain its present size. Unless an all-University poll, April 26, shows that students favor paying an additional 50 cents a semester for their sub scription to the paper, The Daily Nebraskan again will be a tab loid next fall. Subscription to the paper is now 50 cents a semester and is included in the tuition-fee "package" paid by all students. The extra money is neccessary to cover production costs, which have more than doubled since the enlargement in February of this year. ' Vote in Classes. In their 9 o'clock classes next Wednesday or in polling places students will be given a chance to express their opinion on two issues: a $3 increase in fees for a Union expansion and a new Ag Union and a 50 cent addi tional fee for the Daily Ne braskan. Voting will be .completely sep arate on the two matters. That is, even though students do not favor an increase for the Un ions, they may agree to pay the additional fee for the "Rag." Or they may say "no" to the paper's increase and approve the Union expansion. It goes without saying that The Daily Nebraskan hopes the majority of students will agree to both proposals. University of ficials stated early in the year that any agitation for Union im provement must come from the students. Supports Union Plan Eelieving that the majority of the men and women who attend this school would favor the plan if they gained a thorough un derstanding of it, The Daily Ne braskan decided to do its best to give student? the facts in the matter. In special articles The Daily Nebarskan has presented a com parison of the University's Union with those of other schools the same size. In the editorial col umns the paper has attempted to convince Cornhuskers that the project is worth the proposed fee hike. Such coverage of a project still little past the dream stage has been possible only because of the enlarged paper. In the days of a tabloid edition, the use of large pictures of other unions and the many stories ex plaining them would have been out of the question. Figures A few figures will show more clearly just why it was possible for the paper to devote so much space to the Union proposal. In the full size paper nearly 600 column inches inches of type a column wide are available, as compared with 310 in a tabloid. Since advertising has remained fairly constant during both se mesters, the actual space which can be used for news is at pre sent 470 inches, in comparison with 190 a year ago. To break the statistics down still further, this is what the ad ditional space has made possible: Approximately 108 inches of sports news each day at pre sent, rather than 29 a year ago; an average of 116 inches of edi torial and column space each issue this year, as compared to 38 last year. Or to put it another way: in the spring of 1949, The Daily Nebraskan gave full support to the model UNESCO conference, and in the two weeks preceding the affair printed 87 inches of news about it. Better Coverage This year in covering the cor responding project the mock UN assembly the paper used 406 inches. It should be em phasized, of course, that the enlarged paper rather than edi torial policy was chiefly re sponsible for the additional space which was devoted to the con ference. Also possible in the enlarged edition are special columns on a variety of subjects generally in terested to college students. Dur ing this semester these have in cluded "Reel Stuff," "Worth Reading," "On the Avenue" and others. More space has been devoted to summaries of national news, Chael Receives AIA Presidency Fred Cnael was elected presi dent of, the Nebraska associate branch of the American Insti tute of Architects at their meet ing Tuesday. Other officers elected at the meeting were: Bob Rasmussen, vice president: Dave Richards, secretary-treasurer; Art John son and George Clayton, execu tive, committee; and DeForrest Roggenbach, faculty sponsor. Hendy Bollman. of the Struc tural Clay Products Institute of Iowa, spoke and showed Koda chrome slides of construction materials and methods. Chael is a senior, majoring in architecture. He previously has served as vice president of the A. I.. A. and feature editor of Blueprint, engineering magazine He is a member of the Student Council and Beta Sigma PsL Enables More in the belief that students all too often miss seeing a city news paper. Next year, along with ad ditional pictures, The Dally Ne braskan probably will use wire service if necessary funds ar available. "If" Remains The "if remains and will re main until Wednesday's poll de cides the matter. One thing is clear, however. Without the estimated $15,000 that the fee-addition would bring, The Daily Nebraskan can not continue as a full size paper. The increased production costs have caused an estimated loss of more than $4,000. This deficit is being met by money earned by the paper in previous years and deposited in the student publica tion fund. Ag Varsity Dairy Judge Events Told Entries Will Vie On April 21, 22 The annual Varsity Dairy club'3 student judging contest, includ ing dairy products and cattle judging, will be held Friday and Saturday, April 21 and 22, on Ag campus.
