Dr. Lambert
Expert On
World Affairs
By Jane Randall
From Maryland to Florida,
from New Mexico to Idaho, from
Denmark to the Union of South
Africa W. V. Lambert has been
there. Thus it is that the Dean
of the College of Agriculture has
become an authority on interna
tional relations.
A native of Nebraska, Dr.
Lambert graduated from the
University College of Agriculture
in 1921. He received his mas
ter's degree at Kansas State col
lege in Manhattan, and his doc
torate at the University of Cali
fornia. He was an assistant county
agent for Seward county before
becoming a genetics instructor
and later the assistant professor
at Iowa State college in Ames.
Soon after, he was put in charge
of animal genetics investigations
at Ames.
His position with the United
States Department of Agricul
ture as director of livestock
breeding programs of the Bu
reau of Animal Industry kept
him jumping from place to place
all over the country.
Taught at Purdue
Dr. Lambert also held a posi
tion at Purdue university in
Lafayette university in Lafay
ette, Ind., before being appoint
ed as Assistant, and later Ad
ministrator of the United States
Department of Agriculture in
1945.
Since then, he has served on
many national and international
agricultural groups. He was a
member of the United States
delegation of the Food and Ag
riculture organization of the
United Nations to Copenhagen in
1946, of the Geneva Conference
delegation in 1947, an alternate
of the President's Scientific Re-

AG COLLEGE DEAN Dr. W. V. Lambert, the executive head
on Ag campus, lists among his greatest experiences his travels
around the world. 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

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.

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."

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.

about tuberculosis, prior to hear

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

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.
Dr. William Pfeiler gave the
"Begrussungworte" or introduc
tion to the program. Tom Iwand
read the scriptures of the Christ

and audience sang between pass
ages.

was given the chance to question
Santa as is the custom in Ger

poems.

want people to know there is

7. 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.
