Official recognition covering a page
will be given in the year book to the
sorority taking the most subscriptions
during the four-day campaign. Head
quarters of the sales campaign are in
the Cornhusker office in the basement
of the Administration building.
The essential reason for limiting the
drive for subscriptions to four days,
is the necessity of knowing just how
many of the big books to order. The
business staff must know how many
volume.? will be sold in order to regu
late its expenditures properly.
Two dollars is the initial payment
to be made when the book is ordered
and the tag hung, and the remainder
of the $4.50 to come due when the
book is distributed.
The campaign, being conducted on
a loyalty basis, made startling prog
ress during the first day, as nearly
as could be estimated, the business
manager said. There are many work
ers with the college co-chairman,
nearly 250 students have subscription
books. All individuals who have any
spare time should come to the Corn
husker office and check out a sub
scription book, Audley Sullivan said
yesterday.
Ballot boxes for the voting for the
senior representative section are at
"U" hall, Social Science building, the
College Book Store and at Agricul
tural College campus. All ballots that
will be counted must be completely
filled. This ruling prevents the cam
paigning for a few individuals which
the Ftaff would like to avoid in order
to make the section truly representa
tive. No soliciting will be allowed at
the voting booths since each ballot
should be an expression of the opin
ion of the voter. However, the man
agement of the contest points out that
voters should consider each senior for
what he has done for the University
during his undergraduate work. Dup
licate voting will be prevented by dup
licate numbering of ballot and sub
scription receipts.
All pales workers have been ahked to
check in at noon each day at five
o'clock, either to their committee
chairman or at the headquarters in the
Cornhuhker office.

She Cried
"It was a mistake," faltered tha
bewildered business manager of the
1923 Cornhusker when the girl asked
why her picture was loft out of the
book "someone slipped up, I sup
pose." It was not intentional, but explan
ations in this case were too late.-She
sobbed bitterly as she realized that
this was her last year at school and
the folks at home would wonder why
her picture was left out of Nebras
ka's year book.
This merely shows how students at
college regard their College Annual.
It is their book, the history of their
school their activities and tlielr
friends. It is the only thing that
they take home with them that is a
wonderful visualization In picture
and text of their college life.

Former Instructor
Writes Clever Play
Mrs. Magdelene Craft Radke, who
received her A. M. degree at the
University of Nebraska in 1917, has
written a new comedy The Way of a

She also attended the Columbia
School of Journalism a year.
Mrs. Radke now lives In Tecumseh

Is dividing her time "between house
keeping, raising chickens, reading law
In Friend Husband's la wofflce with
a small per cent left over for wrltln'
things."
"The Way of a Maid" was origin
ally written by Mrs. Radke for the
Tecumseh Woman's club. She and
her husband took the parts of the
main characters, Celegtlne the maid

her picture was left out because of
error. Can't you yourself picture
how humiliated she would feel when
friends asked her why her picture
was not in the book?
So "Your" Cornhusker is ns valu
able as far as your college days are
concerned, and when you think of
the insignificant price that is asked
for it, compared with the countless
hours that have been put in by the
staff and others to make it a great
book, you should hesitate no longer
but decide to' act quickly when an
oportunity to purchase the book Is
presented.
You will appreciate more than ever
in the future the value of "Your"

HHHJOF. SMITH
Instructor at College of Agricul
ture Tells of Relations Be
tween Average Farmer
and Engineer.
"Did you ever see a farmer who
wasn't enthusiastic about banking, or
a banker who couldn't tell a farmer
all about banking?" Associate Profes
for C. W. Smith of the College of
Agriculture asked freshman engineers
in their Monday convocation at five
o'clock in M. E. 206. "Many of you
will probably never capitalize your
farm experience. With 10,000,000
people engaged in agriculture in the
United States do you think that there
are no problems for the engineer?
In Cornell, one of the best agricul
tural schools in the country, city men
are seeing the possibilities of the farm
and are specializing in that direc
vion. "I am reminded of the old man who
told his boys to search in the back
yard for treasure. They found no
gold, but they took a fortune from
the fertility of the foil. This wander
lust that seizes boys at a certain age
sup-pests the story of the pot of gold
at die foot of the rainbow. The youth
wants to travel see new scenes live
a new life. I believe that most of the
students from the rural districts are
choosing urban pursuits that will carry
them into careers with an environ
ment entirely new to them.
"Problems of researtTi are among
the greatest coming belore agricul
tural engineers," continued Professor
Smith. "Among these, that of rural
architecture alone, presents a wide
field of investigation. Many agricul
tural colleges are working up and dis
tributing plans for farm buildings such
as beef cattle barns, stock pavillions,
smoke houses and so on. For this
field, draftsmanship is an essential.
I shall take a simple illustration of
the many details that must be worked
out the poultry house. They are or
dinarily gable roofed. But, did it ever
occur to you that a great deal of the
space that must be heated can be elim
inated by using the shed type of roof
to the same height?
"Some specifications call ror four
cubic feet of space per bird, while
others cut it down to two and a half.
Which is right? The best available
work on this subject quotes ancient
French authorities. Who is to do the
new research work necessary? Elab
orate ventilation systems have been
used, but how can air movements in
every part of the house be measured?
How can we tell if the circulation Is
doing any good? The smoke method
has been used, but it is only qualita
tive at the best. This is important to
human beings as well as to animals
and fowls. What automatic devices
can be worked out to keep the circu
lation constant in volume on still days
and windy days, on cold and hot days?
One method uses a burlap flue extend
ing to the floor and so constructed
that it will gradually collapse as the
breeze increases in violence because
of the suction created at the flue
cap.
"The use of electrical appliances on
the farm bIko present a field of in
vestigation " Mr. Smith went on.
Thirty-two volt batteries are com
monly used. City plants cannot be
persuaded to take farm customers be
cause of high transmission costs. Lt
ma nroohesr to you that the time
will come when electricity will shell
the corn, thresh the wheat and fill the
silo. There are farms in tngiana, ana
some just outside Chicago, where just
such extension installments are being
made. The time will come when the
farmer will employ a man of techni
cal education to take care of his equip
ment and to operate it economically.

by a tractor siteen pouncu or air

AG JOURNALISM WILL
BE OFFERED STUDENTS
Course Will Be Open to Men and
Women of All Colleges
Crawford Is In
structor. A practical course in agricultural
journalism will be offered again the
CMnnil semester ot this ypar. A year
iigo this course was given and
proved so successful that every stu
dent who turned in any articles for
publication was able to dispose of at
ipnst one article. The course will be
U n by It. P. Crawford, a conrtib
utor to national magazines,, for sev
eral years associate editor of The
Nebraska Farmer, and at one time
i.ssistant editor in the United States
department of agriculture.
Because of its organization and fa
unties fnr nuhlicitv work and Its
long list of publications each year,
the College of Agriculture will b
able to offer students a practical
field for their efforts. Students wil
receive actual training in editing copy
proof reading, and printing tech
nlmie. the samp as they are carried
out in a magazine or book publish
lng house.
At least one-half of the course will
he devoted to feature writing, or the
pieparation of agricultural or scien
tiflc material In popular form. Every
effort will be made to assist students
in selectine subjects which will be
salable and In directing them in dls
posing of the finished product. Two
of the largest newspapers In this sec
tions of the country one of them
one of the best-known papers in
America have announced their de
sire to receive suitable articles reg
ularly and to pay for them. There
Is also a large field among the ag
rlcultural publications, the popul
scientific magazines, and the general
bagazines.
"There is no great mystery about
getting articles published." said Mr.
Crawford. "This bnslnes of magazine
writing can be taught Just like any
thing else. It is simply a question
of knowing what to write, how to
vrlte It, and sometimes most Import
ant of all. how to sell it. There are
a great many people who enjoy
side income of $1,000 a year or better
from their outside writing, and do
not spend much time on It either. A
student who Is specializing In an,y
line of work should be equipped to do
sme magazine writing, If for no other
reason than his own professional ad
vancement. A young man or woman
In college shuld begin to work along
these lines, and if be Is willing to
work sme hours week at this writ
)cg, he will be surprised at the re
sults In a few Tears."
The course will be open 1o both
men and women, and to students In
other colleges aswell as the college
of sgrlculture. Preferably, students
taking the course should have the
fundamentals of English well In hand
before registering for the work.
Noise, confetti, roulette wheels, for
tune telling, "chance" stands, and all
the other thousand and one thing3
which go to make up a real wild west
ern carnival will be included in the
program for the University carnival
to be staged on the campus, in these
buildings Social Science, Armory and
Temple next Saturday evening start
ing at 7 o'clock. The money which is
taken in as a result of the carnival
will be used as a contribution of the
University of Nebraska to the Euro
pean Student Relief.
In order that there may be plenty
of opportunity for the real carnival
aspect of the affair to be inserted in
true style, the committee has ordered
two gross of squaker balloons, two
gross of horns, and a gross of rat
tlers, besides having hired the Louis
iana Ragadors and Jimmy Schuyler's
orchestra to furnish the music for the
two dances which will be run through
out the evening at a price of 5 cents
per dance.
Lots of Booths.
An array of booths such as has
never been seen at a University car
nival will be kept open in Social
Science hall throughout the evening.
A "Fish Pond," a roluette wheel with
real prizes, a fortune telling booth,
are only a few of the attractions.
These will go into the show to make
up the wild west attractions, with the
zest added by a liberal contribution of
noise making horns, whistles and bal
loons. Confetti galore sold by the Tri Delta
girls will form an important "wild
west" attraction. One hundred and
fifty pounds of the bits of paper have
been ordered and will be on deck for
the use of the carnival patrons Sat
urday night. Besides the confetti
there are some 2.000 rolls of serpen
tine to be distributed at the doors of
the twin dance halls
Plenty to Eat.
And there will be plenty of confec
tionery stands. Home-made candy,
punch and ice cream sandwiches form
the daintier attractions for the appe
tite, while pop corn and "fresh roast
ed peanuts" will allow those of dif
ferent tastes to enjoy a "crew and a
chaw.'
But these are only a few of the
many attractions which will be In
store for the carjuval patrons. Mora
than 400 students have been organized
to take active part in the presenting
of the various stunts, and in direct
ing the affair of the carnival. A
special committee has been busy since
long before the holidays planning and
scheming for ways and means of
making money for the benefit of the
European students now undergoing
almost unbelievable hardships in con
nection with their search for college
educations.
Practice Wednesday Night.
A rehearsal and practice of all of
the side shows to be put on ai uie
carnival will be held Wednesday eve
ning at the Ellen Smith hall. Every
student who is to be in any of the
shows must be at the hall at 7 o'clock
in ordci . .... general instructions may
be given out and the renearsa. i
