ISSOE MAY NUMBER OF ALUMNI JOURNAL Complete Program and Arti cles on Round-Up Week Are Featured. The May issue of the Nebras ka Alumnus, which has just been pub lished, extends a welcome to alumni throughout the country, asking all to join in the Round-Up festivities this spring. This year's Round-Up comes a week before sihool closes, so that the students will all be here to welcome the alumni. Besides carrying out the regular traditions, there is to be a circus, a plav, a dance drama, and a ball game. Ivy Day, the one day when the undergraduates reign su- creme. comes on Thursday, the 28. The Alumni Council will meet in the Temple at 9:30 o'clock Friday morn ing, and there will be a meeting for alumni women the same morning in Ellen Smith Hall. Saturday will be taken up with class breakfasts, an all-University reunion, the Memorial Day program, and dances. A list is given in the Alumnus of the names of the alumni who have visited the office and signed the alumni register. Pictures of the campus and activities of long ago are featured. Chancellor's Corner "The Round-Up" by Chancellor Averv. and an account of the Chan cellor's resignation are two of the 1adng article. "Th" University and the State." an article dealing with. the relation of the two, calls attention to the fact that the real value of the University is seldom apreciated. Our aim should be, it says, to make the citizen of Nebraska say that "the University is a workshopiot a play eround." To do this we must appeal to three distinct groups: the students and faculty, the first and smallest group; the alumni; and the third and largest group, the citizens of the state who have no direct or person si contact, and consequently little in terest in the institution. The Univer sity owes it to itself to keep the peo ple of the state in touch with what goes on about the campus, the article points out. The contents of the Alumns also include "The Peace Primer" by Mrs. E. K. Bowman, 06, director of the Montana world peace information .mnMiW "The Nebraska Welcome" by Howard Buffett, '25; and the regular news of the classes.

Will Shift Control of Annual Fair Realizing that the Farmers' Fair hns outgrown its organization tho Ag Club at its meeting Thursday eve ning approved a new constitution which will be voted upon by all Col lege of Agriculture students soon. This new constitution provides for a more concentrated organization which shall be known as The Farm ers' Fair Association. In contrast to the old method of electing a manager and various spe cified members of the board, it re quires the election of five people; three men elected by the men and two women elected by the women. The man receiving the highest num ber of votes shall be the manager and the woman receiving the highest number of votes shall be the secre tary. These two, with the remaining three, shall constitute the bonrd. It was at the suggestion of the outgoing board that this new consti tution was drawn up. Several mem bers of the faculty appointed by Dean Burnett have assisted in its construction. It will be ready for approval of the students of the Col lege of Agriculture soon. Election of the Fair Board and of Ag Club members will be held on May 27. Pay Swallow, '25, treas urer of the Fair, was unable to make an exact report as yet on the finan cial outcome of the Fair, but as soon as all bills come in a report will be given to all Ag students.

SURYEY WORK IS VALUABLE Conservation and Survey Depart ment Helps Oil Men Work done by the Conservation and Survey division of the Univer sity and by the United States Geo logical Survey in describing geologi cal formations in Nebraska is proving valuable in oil prospecting in Furnas county where interest has been aroused by the discovery of oil at Narcatur, Kas., just across the state line. The anticline on which the well was discovered was first observed by C. A. Fisher, then of the depart ment of geology of the University of Nebraska. Subsequent work was done by Dr. G.E.
