PROF. BARBOUR TALKS
TO ZOOLOGICAL CLUB
Professor Barker of the Zoological
Department of the University ad
dressed the Zoological Society Wed
nesday evening on the subject "Re
lation of Zoology to Medicine.-'
Professor Barker showed that med
ical knowledge was founded on work
previously done by zoologists. He
Vlso cited the work of older zzoolo
glsts on protroplasm, cell, and com
parative anatomy of animals. Pro
fessor Barker brought out that the
study of lower animals gives a bet
ter Introduction for the study of men
Man Is a composite of many animals
and only as we understand the lower
forms can we understand the normal
structure and functions of disease
conditions and be. able to correct
these conditions. Professor Barker's
last point was that the study of the
lower animal developes the power of
observation. The microscope is the
third eye to the medical men.

Big Midway Carnival Will Be
One Of Many Features Of Fair
One of the most educational, unique
and rare carnivals ever staged will be
seen at the Farmers Fair. Talk about
curios, prehistoric animals, hilarious
minstrels, you have seen. If the dope
wore once to get out about all of the
wonders that may be seen Saturday
It would startle the world.
Old Nuro himself would hide his
face in shame if he were to behold
"The Terror of the World." Cleopatra
wknilid never ha,Vo had the nervt
to try to vamp Anthony if she had
first gazed" upon the Bathing Beauties.
Old Anthony would never have thot
about Cleopatra if he would have had
u chance to see the Iloseless Chorus
Girls. Even the Cornhusker Beauty
Contest candidates would get some
pointers from this wonderful group.
If you have a grouch hunt up the
Most Despised Animal and you will be
content with corn bread and musu
for the rest of your days. Even a for
mal tea party bid from the king will
only bring a smile aftor you have seen
this animal.
Advanced findings of sentimental
astronomy are to be shown on how
the moon effects the tide. This is one
of the questions that have been troub
ling the scientists for agos and will be
cleared up Saturday afternoon.
What could be more inviting, more
cheering, than a beautiful country
seat, a gurgling stream and the large
maple trees? Come and see. It may
make you long to be free. Darwin's
missing link will be presented in the
form of the prehistoric monkey.
The New York Zoo would lose its
fame if all the animals that are to be
sl.own were kept together for any
length, of time. European scientists
and evolutionists from all over the
world have sent inquiries concerning
PURPOSE OF FAIR
EXPLAINED TO ALL
Annual Ag College Fun Fest Has
Three Fold Purpose and
Much is Accomplished
The Farmers Fair is staged an
nually for a threefold purpose: to
advertise Ag College, to have a fun
fest and to train the students in the
arts of putting across such an under
taking as an advertisement for the
Agricultural College. It Is only fitting
and proper that part of the features
of the day's program show the advan
tages and facilities for instruction
within the College as well as actual
demonstrations of the ability of
trained men and women to take their
places in the industrial and social
world of today. So the Ags plan an
tciucational exhibit to be centralized
in the Plant Industry and Home Eco
nomics Halls to show in a small mea
sure the privileges that Ags enjoy
while here at ocllege. The exhibits
will be self explanatory to a great ex
tent and the demonstrations will be
explained as conducted.
Home Economics Feature Clothing
Much time and thought are being
spent on the Homo Economic exhibits
to bring them to a standard that will
make seeing them well worth your
time. The Foods department will have
on exhibit and demonstrations on the
first floor with tastes of jellyrolls and
orher dainties.

tournament, which will begin the first
of next week. All fraternities must
hand in their entries at once to the
athletic office and pay' the entry fee.

and indications point to a well con
tested meet. A banner will be award
ed to the winning fraternity team.
Another call has been made for all
golfers in the University to compete

AVIATORS ARE GUESTS
AT FAIR TOMORROW
The Ags are up la the air with their
Faimers Fair. Rather unusual to have
the Ags iiythe a!r about anything but
any one with higher ideals and their
eyes on the heavenly blues above
them can see a kite flying around
above the university bearing a mis
sive on its tail that bids everyone
welcome to Farmers Fair.
Tlun Saturday the glaring sun will
burn your throat and the back of your
neck will stiffen into permanent
wrinkles as you tip your l! k back
on its hinges at a 130 degree angle
to stare In open mouthed nniazzc
ment at the feats of those twenty
birdmen who are coming from Okla
homa 'to be the guests of the Fann
ers Fair on Saturday afternoon and
evening. In a few years farming by
airplane will be exemplified in n
Farmers Fair but in the fast '.lines of
1922 entertaining by airplane is the
best the Ags can do.

Nominations Made For Student
Council Members For
Next Year
The Arts and Science dinner and in
itiation, which was held at the Cham
ber of Commerce last night, was lea
tured by the inititation of the mem
bers of a new organizations in the
Arts college. The dinner was fol
lowed by a snappy and interesting pio-
gram, including a number of excellent
speeches given by Chancellor Avery
and members of the faculty of the col
lege. Dean Buck of the college of
Arts and Sciences was toastmaster.
Two-hundred and fifty students of the
college and a hundred of the college
facutly attended the affair.
The program opened at 6:30 with
music by the orchestra. At the begin
ning of the meal, the entire assembly
arose and sang "The Cornhusker
Imemdiately after the meal, Dean
Buck gave a short talk and then in
troduced Chancellor Avery, the first
speaker on the program. Chancellor
Avery gave an interesting address on
the history of the Arts and Sciences
College. He told of some of the Here,
rivalry which once existed between
the colleges.
Chancellor Avery was followed by
Professor Alexander, whom Dean Buck
introduced as the poet of the faculty.
Professor Alexander spoke on the spir
it cf the college and how the students
should boost the college. The toast
master then called upon Miss Cook,
who entertained the gathering by two
readings, which were enthusiastically
received. Fred Dawson, Dean of Men,
director of athletics and footbal.
coach, gave a short address on the.
spirit of the college, in which he em
phasized the necessity of backing a
movement or idea until it is put
across. Professor Stepanick was the
last speaker on the program.
After the speakers had finished, the
room was darkened in preparation for
the big initiation. The initiation of
the selected ones was then begun, and
they were informed of their selection
for the honorary society of the college
by several masked men, who tapped
the favored ones on the shoulder with
a stick. The students selected proved
to be the leaders in the College of
Arts and Sciences.
The dinner and initiation were a re
sult of the long-cointinued cry for
some sort of organization in the oldest
college on the campus, the Arts and
Science College. Many attempts have
been made in the past to organize, the
Arts students, but none have been suc
cessful until this one, which all who
attended agreed was a huge success.

GODDESS OF AGRICULTURE

Plenty cf Bucking Bronchos, Cow-
boys and Exhibits to Make
Up Parade
O, Here comes the parade- This
common overworked phrase of child
to grand dad will again be uttered as
the start cf the exclamations that will
be forthcoming all along the route of
the Farmers Fair parade Saturday
noi.n. As arranged now, the parade
leaves Ag campus at 10:30, travels
west to 33rd street, south to Vine,
west to 25th, south to O street, west
on O to eleventh, north to R and east
to disperse at 17th and R. Watch It
pass and review anywhere along the
route.
Comics mixed with artistic, novel
and instructional floats will give you
the first glimpse of the day as to the
magnitude of this year's Farmers
Fair, the importance and diversity of
agricultural education combined with
laughs galore if you catch the drift
of each joke.
Ags Own Band
The rube band of the Ags that
stirred up all the noise and fun of
last year will again head the parade.
They've been practicing this year and
can imitate perfectly all the farmyard
songs of old as well as a few discord
ant notes of their own.
The goddess of Agriculture with her
four maids of honor will undoubtedly
be the most attractive feature of the
parade. The Ag College float shows
with one excellent example the char
acter of the educational progress of
the college, while the Ag Club tree
will bear as its branches all the de
partmental clubs of thme college.
The Old and the New
. Striking contrasts will be made in
each of the Animal Husbandry, Agro
nomy, Animal Pathology and Agricul
tural Education departmental floats
between the good and the bad and
the new and the old. The floats of
the Dairy, Ag. Engineering, Poultry,
Horticulture, Rural Economics and
Entomology will exemplify by well or
ganized and arranged features the im
portance and progress of certain
phases of education afnd endeavor
within each of these departments.
Home Economics floats promise the
attractive and beautiful things, their
chief float being the Goddess of Ag
riculture surrounded by her horn of
plenty overflowing with grain and
products. The millinery department
will walk down the street Saturday
wMi an enormous hat tastefully dec
orated with real flowers. The value
of properly trained citizens will be
the keynote around which the Home
Management float is centered. A mys
terious king and queen will ride in
state in their royal carriage as a rep
resentation of the clothing work with
in the Home Economic department
and ladies will serve tea all along the
route from their tempting tea room on
the Institutional Management float.
Feature' Floats
Comics that we dare not try to de
scribe will start a smile on that
gloomy map of yours. That smile will
burst into a grin, then a laugh, that
laugh will spread 'ike wildfire until
hawhaws will ring from skyscraper to
skyscraper like echoes in a conyon.
Will you see the parade? Yes, if
you're tall enough. Bring a box and
camp on some spot.
