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

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. Condra, director
of the Conservation ar.d survey divi
sion, and by Harry Mortlock, '16,
who investigated for oil companies.

ter. The College of Fliaraiaey now se
cures its supply of crude drugs from
its own garden. Although the pro
ject was started 1908, there were
at one time 11 j ( ifferent drug-producing
plants grown. At present
there are ninety-five different spe
cies with several varieties. The con
ditions under which these various
plants can be successfully propagated
are being studied, since with the im
ports of drugs cut off, a great deal
of importance is, attached to the dis

Winning eight of the fifteen first
places and placing in all but three
events, Nebraska yesterday took first
honors in the first annual triangular
meet held on the Stadium track. The
Huskers piled up 63 2-3 points to win
over Kansas with 46 points and Kan
sas Aggies with 21 1-3 points.
Less than two thousand fans brav
ed the icy blasts of a February wind
to witness the meet, and the times
were held down by a comparatively

damper on the efforts of the track-
sters from the three schools.
. Clean Sweep in 440
NetirnsVs's only clean sweep came -
in the 440-yard dash, when Crites,
Scherich, and Beckord took the three
counting places. Locke and "Hein,
however, took first and second in
both dashes, and Weir and Dailey
brought in eight points in the 220-
yard low hurdles. Molzen and Krim-
melmeyer also turned in first and
second places for the Huskers in the
shot put.
The first event of the afternoon
was the century dash. Roland Locke
took first easily in the slow time of
10.2 seconds, and Bill Hein beat out
Fisher of Kansas for the second
place. The two dashmen repeated
the feat in the 220-yard dash, again
letting Fisher down with a third
