Asks More
Research
Lambert Addresses
Credit Conference
More research has been
prescribed for agriculture by
V. V. Lambert, dean of the
University College of Agricul
ture. He addressed the seventh
National Agricultural Credit
Conference of the American
Bankers Association yes
terday in Omaha.
"The great industry of agri
culture, in common with all
segments of our society, will
need more and not less re
search in the years to come,"
he said. "American farmers
must supply the food and fi
ber for our rapidly growing
population.
"They must also provide
many of the materials that
will be needed to replace the
non-renewable natural re
sources which are being de
pleted so rapidly," he con
tinued. Dean Lambert said that ag
riculture includes 16 percent
of the labor iorce and more
than 16 percent of the capi
tal resources used in produc
tion in the United States.
"The prosperity of agricul
ture contributes vitally to the
prosperity of the nation as a
whole," he said. "Develop
ments growing out of re
search discoveries have
brought great changes in agri
culture and more are to come.
However, m 6 s t of these
changes go beyond American
farms.
"They have brought al
ready, or will bring, signifi
cant changes in food market
ing and processing, in indus
tries dependent upon or allied
to agriculture, in cost of food
to consumers, in food con
sumption patterns, in banking
and credit institutions serv
ing agriculture and many oth
ers," he said.

A CP Convention
'Unique Situations' Offer Collegiate
Editors Lively Discussion Session
By George Moyer
"We have a unique situation on our
campus."
That was the most frequent comment
heard at the annual Associated Collegiate
Press convention held at Chicago's Conrad
Hilton hotel last Thursday, Friday and
Saturday.
Better Than 250
Since better than 250 colleges and uni
versities from the United States, the Dis
trict of Columbia and Canada were repre
sented, that made better than 250 unique
situations available for comment, criti
cism and discussion.
The most common gripes by student ed
itors were the unavailability of news and
administration censorship. Weekly papers
also had trouble with competing off-campus
dailies which got to the big stories
first.
Judy Sullivan, editor of the Dakota Stu
dent, University of North Dakota student
newspaper, was busy at the convention
getting the opinions of other collegiate ed
itors on the issues prominent on her cam
pus. Specifically, the Dakota student was
trying to get their administration to open
their library on Sunday afternoons.
"The director of our library sends me
nasty letters about it all the time, so we
must be making our point, at least with
the library," she said.
Too Lively?
Dave McNeill, of the Georgia Tech
Technique, which he billed as the South's
liveliest college newspaper, was having
trouble with a front page that had become
a little too lively.
The Technique accused a doctor in the
Georgia Tech health service of malprac

Atom Ray
Preservation
Foreseen
Atomic rays may hold the
key to preserving food, de
veloping improved crops, con
trolling insects, feeding cat
tk! and even controlling
sprouts on potatoes
That opinion was given by
Dr. Paul Aebersold, director
of isotopes development for
the Atomic Energy Commis
sion, when he spoke at the
College of Agriculture Friday.
Aebersold said that the de
velopment of "ray-preserved"
food is the first new method
of food preservation since
freezinff and canninff He said
the use of atomTCTa'mattgffsl
holds potential for improving
the health and well-being of
every plant and animal in the
future.
Handling losses are reduced
with ray-preserved meats
since meat can be packed in
packing houses by experts
and will not be bruised in
shipping. Aebersold added.
Treated perishable fruits will
last longer and potatoes will
not develop sprouts even
when not kept in refrigera
tion. Aspen Signup
The deadline for submit
ting contracts for the As

extended until Friday, Dec.

tice and McNeill was asking all and sundry
if there was a way of proving the charges
or gracefully retracting.
The Illinois Wesleyan paper, Argus, was
experiencing a problem in writing their
news for their alumni. Denny Stark, their
editor, said that alumni complained if
stories weren't clear while students did
the same If the Argus went into details
that were common knowledge to them.
Hal Maier, of the Cincinnati University
News Record, didn't have any real prob
lems. But he was licking his chops over
the copy Oscar Robertson and his basket
ball teammates would soon be making.
Building Collapses
"We had a pretty good story last week
when our Military Science building col
lapsed, but other than that, things have
been pretty quiet," Maier said.
One worried lady editor asked Ernest
Johnson, editor of Valparaiso University's
Torch, what he did about administration
censorship.
Johnson's reply was classic: "They
don't interfere much, but when they do I
tell them to go to hell."
The Beaver News, Beaver College, Jen
kentown, Penn., was fighting a staff dif
ficulty. The -News, a biweekly paper, had
an apparent staff of approximately fif
teen, but only three of these actually did
much work.
Maureen McKeown, the news editor of
the News, said, "It's really not too bad
except for sports. I don't know a thing
about sports and our sports editor doesn't
do much. How am I supposed to know
anything about football?"
A lot of men get asked the same ques
tion by their wives every Saturday.

"We decided to take more
curtain acts to fill in for the
skit that dropped out," Bob
Smldt, Kosmet Club presi
dent, said in explanation of
the large number of curtain
acts.
The three main skits are
"Invention of the Wheel" by
Delta Upsilon, "Butt Really"
by Theta Xi and "Our His
tory Beginneth" by Beta The
ta Pi.
Wordless Skit
The Theta Xi skit portrays
cigarette and cigar butts in
an ashtray the morning after
New Year's Eve. No words
are spoken in the skit as the
whole thing is done in song.
The stage setting is one big
fi 'ay.
Chairman of the Theta XI
skit is Roger Schindler.
Delta Upsilon's "Invention
of the Wheel" is a flashback
into history. It is satire about
how the DU's think the wheel
was invented.
Jack Koberg is in charge of
the skit, assisted by Jim War
rick. In the Beta's skit, the god
Pluto is given a chance to
choose the place where he
would like to spend eternity.
He has three choices with
the Eps, a warrior group;
with the Alphas, the thinkers,
or with the Rhos, the drink
ers. Jim Thomas is in charge
of the Beta skit.
Two Trophies Readied
A trophy will be awarded
to the first place winner of
the three main skits and to
the winner of the curtain
acts. Recognition plaques will
be given to all the groups par
ticipating in the show.
The winners of the titles of
Nebraska Sweetheart and
Prince Kosmet will also be
announced at the show. The
candidates will be voted upon
that evening.
Nebraska Sweetheart final

Dee Bonde, Judy Decker,
Margaret Marshall nd Shar
on Quinn. The boys vying for
Prince Kosmet are Don Bin
der, Bob Harry, Chuck Hu
ston, Bob Krumme, Lee Mil
ler and Jerry O'Keefe.
Candidates for both titles
were judged on a basis of ac
tivities, appearance, personal
ity and poise. Bruce Russell
was Prince Kosmet last year,
and Ruth Gilbert was Nebras
ka Sweetheart.
KK Organization
Kosmet Klub was organ
ized in 1905 with the Fall Re
vue beginning at that time.
Until recently, the spring
shows were composed entire
ly of men, and were very sim
ilar to the Fall Revue. With
in the last 10 years, Smidt
said, coeds were allowed to
participate in the spring show.
"The skits this year seem
to be a better calibre than
those last year," said Hove.
"We have three very good
main acts."
The Fall Revue will be held
in Pershing Auditorium with
curtain time at 8:15 p.m.
Tickets are 90 cents and may
be purchased from any Kos
met Klub worker, in the Un
ion office or in a Union
