A native Nebraskan, he graduated from the University College of Agriculture in 1921 and was once assistant county agent for Seward county. A member of four Greek honoraries, he believes strongly in good scholarship. search board, of the govern ment's Interdepartmental Com mittee on Science, and of the Mexican-United States Agricul ture commission. During the summer of 1949, Dr. Lambert spent two and a half months in Africa with a commission sponsored by the Economic Cooperation adminis tration (the Marshall Aid pro gram) and the British Colonial government. It was here that he viewed their agricultural re search program and their edu cational institutions. While he was there, he took a great num ber of moving picture shots and some hundred-odd colored slidec. Member of Honoraries Yet, with all these honors to his credit, who would dream that this man, with the salt-and-pep-per gray hair and the ready smile, also belonged to four Greek letter honoraries and rep resented five agricultural and veterinary organizations as well? On top of all this, he writes a monthly column ior the Corn husker Countryman and takes an NU Press Lists For Christmas The University Press is offer ing students and faculty mem bers a Christmas shopping bar gain a combination offer of a one-year subscription to the "Prairie Schooner" and a copy of "Trampled Terraces." The price is $3.75 for a $4.75 value. "Trampled Terraces," by Ray mond A. McConnell, Jr., is a col- Cleanup Drive Underway In Ag Union The age of the Schmoe is past. Anyhow in the Ag Union, Schmoes no longer rate. The new cry is: "You litter bug, you pick up that used 'Rag' and deposit it to the wastebas ket." In most cases, the wording is slightly different, but you get the drift of it all. Such crys as above are part of a campaign headed by the Ag Union "clean-up" committee aimed at ridding the lounge of that windblown look. One onlooker remarked, "It's the 'Rag that started it all I mean the messed up Union; if it wasn't for them, all the paper wouldn't be noticed." The trash would be small objects like ci garet butts, wrapper, packages, and candy and gum wrappers. Another commentary suggested that instead of the Monday noon ping-pong contests, there be an exhibition of the finer art of used newspaper wadding and throw ing. Just set the waste baskets in the middle of the lounge, the contestants along the walls, he said. Then have Hallis Eggers, Ag Union activities director, call familiarly over the inter com sys tem, and the contest is on. He lamented: "But, who would re trieve the misses?" There are no volunteers so it looks as if as present at least, "litterbug" is here to stay. Ag Bulletin Board Tuesday Craft Class from 3 to 5 p.m., in Room 110. Y Cabinet at 5 p.m., in Room 3.

THE active part in the agricultural groups in Nebraska. As Dean of Ag college, Dr. Lambert takes an active part in campus affairs. He encourages the support of campus affairs and is a staunch believer in good scholarship. As he advised in his monthly column for the Cornhusker Countryman, "Good scholarship is a necessary part of your train ing and all organizations should place more emphasis on schol arship." Off campus, the dean finds great enjoyment in teasing the family dog, "Pudge," who is ten years old. His favorite trick is to fool the dog by popping rub ber bands at her. When asked about her, Dr. Lambert ponders worriedly. "'Pudge' wandered away this noon and for some reason or other hasn't come back like she usually does. I wonder what happened to her. She's never gone more than two hours or so." Gift Offer Shoppers lection of delightful family anec dotes which, the author declares, are imaginary but typical of suburban neighborhoods. An Odd Angel One chapter, "Average Angel," describes how the little child makes an odd shaped undiscern able angel in kindergarten, and when the children decorate their Christmas tree this angel goes on top. The children are so thrilled with the angel, and they are convinced there is nothing lovelier. Then their mothers tells them the story of the angels and how they came to the earth on the first Christmas. It makes a beautiful tale. Also there are happenings at Thanksgiving and Valentines Day that add humor and appeal to the emotions. A chapter, "Oh Mother," tells about a seven year old child who thinks he knows more than his mother. Author Journal Editor Author McConnell is editor of the Nebraska State Journal. In 1949, he won for The Journal the Pulitzer Prize. McConnell at tended the University College of Law. The Nebraska State Jun ior Chamber of Commerce in 1950 named him "the most out standing young man in Nebras ka." "Trampled Terraces" is il lustrated by Bill Moomey who received his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University. He is now teaching at the Uni versity of Colorado. The University's literary quar terly, "Prairie Schooner," is a nationally known magazine. It prints fiction and poetry, articles and essays.

I DAILY NEBRASKAN Classroom Survey Tests Students9 Knowledge of TB Students of a public health class at the University were re cently tested on what they knew about tuberculosis, prior to hear ing a lecture by Mrs. Dorothy Qgden of the Lancaster County Tuberculosis association, f The results: ZL Thirty-one per cent of the students didn't know that tu berculosis is caused only by a germ. .2. Twenty-five per cent didn't know it is catching. ; 3. Thirty-four per cent thought they couldn't get tuberculosis if they got plenty of fresh air imd sunshine. 4. E i g h t y - e i g h t per cent thought you have a better chance to cure in a high, dry climate. , 5. Sixteen per cent thought you are doomed to be sickly all your life, once you have tuber culosis. 6. Sixteen per cent wouldn't German Club Stages Yule Celebration Candles stuffed in apples, Christmas carols playing softly in the backgroud and various assortments of Christmas cookies and candies formed the setting for the German club Christmas party last Saturday at Ellen Smith hall. Carol music for singing was provided by pianist Bob Fire stone. He furnished all of the background music for the social hour.

Thirteen per cent thought you can spot tuberculosis by the way the victims look and act. Sunshine and Health Fresh air and sunshine are good health builders, but they do not constitute immunity, Mrs. Ogden told the class. The belief that a high dry cli mate is best for curing tubercu losis is unfounded, she explained. She said the cure works equally well in any climate. Tuberculosis can be cured un less it is discovered too late and the case has become too far ad vanced. Mrs. Ogden affirmed the class that a victim cannot be spotted by his looks or actions. Early tuberculosis can often be detected by a chest X-ray, but it has no symptoms, she said. Test's Results The tuberculosis tests proved that the students did know that: 1. You can have tuberculosis without feeling sick. 2. You can have it more than once. 3. A negative chest X-ray re port doesn't mean you can't get tuberculosis. 4. A positive tuberculin test doesn't mean you have tubercu losis it only means you have at some time in your life been infected with tuberculosis germs. 5. Symptoms indicate ad vanced disease. 6. It is not inherited. 7. You can have it at any age. 8. Christmas seals finance the tuberculosis control campaign of the tuberculosis association. Mrs. Ogden commented that the results of this test is evi dence of the influence of health education used in the connection with tuberculin and chest X-ray surveys. Robbers Visit K Sigs Again Robbed again! Every year for several years the Kappa Sigs have had unwelcome visitors who have walked out with more than they brought. This year is no exception. Somebody walked into the rooms of Jim Minikus on the third floor and Darrel Moreland on second early Sunday morning and left with a loot of $48. Both were out at the time. Minikus was the big loser, losing $40, while Moreland lost only eight. The thieves had easy access to the rooms as both were un locked.
