It isn't possible that this campus is experiencing a re vival of academic interest is it? Actually, of course, the three columnists resigned as a protest against an imagined abridgement of their editorial freedom. But the a c t i o n of Counselors and the protracted one by Panhell certainly might be interpreted as signs that campus groups are tired of the eternal busy work chase. If that be so, hurrah! Many a pre-8elected freshman or sophomore has had his or her Activities can strangle a campus by assuming a prom inence far out of proportion to the good they do. Witness tne annual excitement and preoccupation with the selec tion of the senior' men and women's honoraries. On other campuses, these honoraries are much more concerned with the scholastic standing of their membership than with the campus posi tions they have managed to accumulate during their first three years. This is not to say that the members of this year's honor aries are not worthy. They are. The point is thai the em phasis on this campus should be placed on good scholarship. And it is the campus honor ary societies that should take the lead in making good schol arship a respected ideal. In thi meantime, nice work Coed Counselors. a ft Last week, with a dirth of things to say, I made refer ence to the fine old campus tradition (no doubt strangled by overly verdant ivy around here) of eating around.

The author would like to meniion that he is neither a student of physiology nor ana tomy and also does not claim to know the subject matter to perfection. However, he has i collected some little knowl edge about the physical exer cises of the Yoja and would like to present some of It through these columns. Any criticism or suggestion is welcome. In essence, the Yoga sys tem has for its object attain ment of body and mind con trol, and through them union with God.

A crowd of over 3000 stood with them and clapped en thusiastically in rhythm as the Boys Town High School band, which presented a con cert of marches during the dinner, plaved "Dear Old Ne braska U." The travel-worn Vice Pres ident Richard Nixon, who ar rived in town earlier in the afternoon for the occasion, lost all signs of weariness as he strode briskly to the speak ers stand for his televised speech following the dinner. Of interest to all college age listeners who are aware of their military obligations, Nixon noted that the primary responsibility of the Federal administration is not just to provide a good farm program or the assurance of high wag es, security in old age and progress, but that it is to "keep peace with -honor for the American people." He commented that critics of the firm foreign policy of the Eisenhower administra tion must admit that it has worked. He added that Amer ica has kept out of war and American boys are not fight ing for their lives today. 'If America took a weak stand, we would be inviting war, but our firm stand leads to peace," he said. To those who opposed the stand against communist ag gression in Quemoy and Mat su, he pointed out that the communists have said they will not be satisfied with two little islands. Rather they would "drive us out of the islands, out of Formosa and out of the Pacific. All of Asia would be lost to communism." Concerning the "pocketbook issue" in the election cam paign, Nixon noted that the "fact of prosperity" has de stroyed the fear of recession. He suggested that voters help the administration continue its sound policies by voting for Republicans insteaci of "going back to big spending with the Democrats." Ag Prof Featured Speaker Paul Schleusener of the De partment of Agricultural En gineering and Dr. Marvvl Baker, assistant Dean of Ag riculture, were featured speakers Friday at a joint meeting of the Nebraska Irri gation and Reclamation Asso ciations in Hastings. Schleusener stated that "the critical problem for Nebraska farmers is to develop methods for maintaining soil moisture at the proper level and obtain efficient production from lim ited supplies of water." The most limiting factor in crop production in Nebraska is still the amount of useful water in the soil profile, he added. Baker told the meeting "The development of irriga tion should result in a more stable pattern of crop produc tion and exert a stabilizing in fluence on the livestock industry." as thoir object in view but it was oniy a cons-c-Mi?. i:va taday same iii-.i.i.'Is In Icfta, w;io lave practiced urcam cmircl, o?.ionstrate jiiicir capacUy t be in a 'slate of brinf, and not being I ty' entering an air-tight un jdergmund chamber, and re I main there for six months to even a year a time limit 'which tfiey set in advanre I and give S!,.!'a':l? instructions to t'.::ir d'.srijlcs to open the ; chsmlirr a"t?r that period, i Accidsnts are likely to hap pensometimes they do hap pennsulting jn the death of Sadhu inside the chamber if he had not learned the art perfectly.
