AGRICULTURAL
MEETING HERE

Ag College Campus
Mcmullen makes speech
Prominent Agricultural Expert! from
Over the Country Are on Pro
gram Burnett Preide
More than one thousand people
attended the large mass meeting of
the organized agriculture meetings
hoine held at the Agricultural Col
lege campus.
Dean E. A. Burnett presiding, in
troduced Hon. Frank 0. Lowden, ex
Governor of Illinois, who spoke on
"The rroblems of Agriculture, the
Problems of All."
"Agriculture has been completely
changed within my memory," he
said. "The farmer of seventy years
ago had little surplus, bought very
little, paid small taxes, and as a re
sult was comparatively independent."
He pointed out that now, a sur
plus which should be a sign of pros
perity, is to the contrary, a liability.
He cited the instance of the smaller
corn crop in the United States being
worth by $3,000,000,000 than a
larger crop of the previous year.
Also the same with milk, a good
grass season had increased the milk
supply about 5 per cent but the
market price was depressed about
25 per cent, showing that surplus
was not the gain of prosperity.
Offers Remedy For Situation
His remedy for the situation, was
organization for orderly marketing
of the surplus, the cost to be paid by
the ones doing the selling.
The next address was by Dr. W.
0. Thompson, ex-President of the
University of Ohio, speaking on the
subject, "The Farmer Situation. The
key-note of his address was that the
problems of production had be'en
solved for a time and it was the
business of the farmer to learn how
to market his products.
He compared the situation of a
man trying to hold a poker that was
hot at both ends. If he burns his
fingers, he cannot drop it and pick
up the other end. In otherwords, he
was forced to pay the rising prices
for machinery and at the same time
take what the world market was will
ing to pay for his products.
Another point was that no one will
continue to produce at a' loss, or be
low the cost of production. With
this economic law working, the in
dustrial and business centers will
soon suffer from a curtailed produc
tion of farm produce.
Following the mass meeting, the
visitors gathered in front of the Ag
ricultural building for a large group
picture.
Farmers and farmers' wives from
all parts of the state are attending
the meetings of the various organiz
ed groups for the improvement of
agriculture bc.'ig held during the
first week of January. Speakers of
national repute are secured for the
meetings so that a good program is
offered in any subject in which the
farmer is interested.

Nebraska, Co the Winter and Spring
of 1920. This season's protfam
began Monday, Jan a;id will con
clude Saturday, Apr;: 17. Ik cause
of an increasing demand for n great
variety of '.imply information on the
home eecnoirv s ami at:
subjects, th.- I nhv.-.. . ht I.obraska
this year has added Saturday to its
list of broadcast mrr roiicds. In
connection with its Saturday pro
grams, a special evening program
will be given. The first twelvo
minutes, beginning at 8:0, will be
devoted to the Boys and Girls c'iub.
The second period will be spent in
the discussions of the questions of
financial importance to the farmer.
All told nearly 150 talks will be
broadcast during the fifteen weeks
period. Practically every branch
of homemaking and agricuture will
be covered. Persons are invited to
write and nsk for further informa
tion on any subject in which they are
interested. This season the program
has been systematized so that those
interested in certain branches of ag-

the women in mind. Every Monday,
IOWA GETS BIG
TEN TRACK MEET
Cinder Ctari Will Congregate on One

IOWA CITY, la., Jan. 7. The
University of Iowa has been awarded
the honor of conducting the Western
Conferonce Track and Kicld Cham-
ipjonsnips which be heid at iowa
City May 28 and 20. The Io va
track is considered to be one of the
fastest in the world and a number
of records may be cracked by the
stars who will congregate here for
the title meet.
In 1922 Iowa conducted the meet
and Charles Brockins, then a soph
omore, in his first big race, tied the
world's record at that time in the
220 low hurdles. With Frank J.
Cuhel of Cedar Rapids showing
promise that he will threaten the
Brookins' records in the hurdles it
is interesting to note that almost
the same conditions will confront
Cuhel that Brookins met in 1922.
Another interesting phase in this
connection is that Cuhel in 1924 es
tablished a new world's interscholas-
ticfecord in the 220 hurdles over the
same track that he will run on this
spring.
TASSELS RECEIVE

STUDENTS GAIN
WIDEPUBLICITY
Helen Wills, Attending University
Of California Is Tennis
Champion
(New Student News Service)
Rarely does the man or woman
student attain fame outside college.
Thousands of college students
hope for no greater attainment than
that chronicled in the college annual.
Four students, in past months have
proven themselves exceptions to this
rule and have attained widespread
newspaper publicity.
(1) Everyone knows of Helen
Wills, National Women's Tennis
Chamnion: hitherto few knew of
Helen Wills, art student at the Uni
versity of California, and an excep
tionally gifted one at that. Although
only beginning her junior year, Miss
Wills was recently elected to Phi
Beta Kappa. The records show that
she attained an average of "high
B," which means that she almost at
tained the perfection embodied in
the coveted "A."
Among her eleven classmates, hon
ored by the key, she stands high,
with 37 "A's," 21 "B's," and no
,"C's," out of a possible 58 "A's."
At the University of California a
wizard at athletics and art; at the
University of Syracuse a combina
tion of science and poetry in one
student mind. Last year Francis
Snyder '27, decided to give up chem
istry for poetry. So at the bcg;n
ning of the year he dropped his
Chemistry and took a Fine Arts
Course. The second semester found
him back in the laboratory working
creatively with ions instead of iam
bics. Out of his work came a new
process for the recovery of nitrogen
from the air. A group of financiers
are so confident in the new process
that they are planning a $100,0001
nlant near Evanston. Illinois, to!
gather nitrogen from the air by the
method discovered by the twenty
four year old student.
(3) When the Shenandoah was
wrecked with a loss of 14 lives near
a small Ohio village, the barograph j
chart was among the bits of wreck
age plundered by souvenir hunters.
This chart was invaluable to the
naval board of inquiry at Lakehurst.
It told the actual course of the diri
gible, its speed, the angle of its in
clination and the temperature and
weather conditions. ' To Hayes T.
Clark, student at Ohio State goes
credit for the recovery of this chart
and a big scoop for the paper for
which he was reporting, The Mari
etta Times.
Clark, who is paying for his edu
cation by newspaper work, is now
reporter on a Columbus, Ohio, news
paper. . "
(4) Paul Gregg, a sophomore at
Evanville College, Indiana, loved to
spend hours playing with his type
writer. Last April, while playing
with- this collegiate necessity he
struck upon a plan whereby the keys
might be operated by electricity.

PORTER MEETS
WITH MEMBERS
OF "Y" COUNCIL
Executive Secretary Discusses
Purpose of the Y. M. C.
A. on the Campus
TELLS OF WAYS TO HELP
Cherington Leads Discussion Which
Follows Address Dinner is
Served in Temple
David Porter, executive secretary
of the Student Christian Movement
of the Y. M. C. A. and Ben Chering
ton '11, regional secretary of the
University Y. M. C. A. work for the
Rock Mourftain Region, met with
members of the Freshman Council of
the local University "Y" Thursday
evening in the "Y" rooms in the
Temple building and discussed the
purpose of the Y. M. C. A.' on the
campus and how they could help in
its work.
Before dinner Mr. Porter told
about the Student Christian Move
ment, its orjgin, growth, and the real
purpose of it. He told how forty-
nine years ago a group of young men
at Princeton got together and decid-
eed that the religious work which
was being held there should be spread
throughout the country to all col
leges. From this time the movement
grew until today there are "Y" or
ganizations in practically all the
schools and colleges in the country.
Mr. Porter stressed the fact that it
was a living organization which was
vital and very real and that it had
some inner urge which resulted in
many other organizations branching
out of the original Y. M. C. A. The
first result of this urge was the Stu
dent Volunteer Movement which has
grown until today over eleven thou
sand students have gone out from
our colleges as missionaries to for
eign countries. The second result
was the World's Student Christian
Federation which came as the result
of some young men getting a vision
of world brotherhood and wanting to
help in bringing it about.
Mr. Porter then talked about the
sources of power in this organiza
tion and the reason for its vitality
and growth. He said that one of the
chief sources was the spirit of Christ
which was the ideal of the Associa-
tion and the example for all the
members.
The second source men -
tioned, was this vision of world
brotherhood which inspired the stu
dents to carry on their great task.
After Mr. Porter's talk the group
of freshmen had their dinner in the
Temple cafeteria and then Ben Cher
ington led the discussion of the group
as to what they believed is the es
sential purpose of the University
"Y" and how they could help it to
accomplish .this purpose.
Mr. Porter and Mr. Cherington
will be. at the University until Sat
urday and this evening they are to
meet with the Y. M. C. A. cabinet
and a few other men to talk over
some of the "Y" work for the com
ing year.

Oxford Debate Team Member Hits
M m A
it i rneriuun
M. C. Hollis, a member of the Ox
ford debating team which recently
traveled through Nebraska reports
his impressions of the American uni
versity in The Outlook of December
30th.
He states that the main impression
that an English visitor takes away
from a study of American universi
ties is "organization."
He points out that the football
player is almost a pawn in the hands
of his coach; that the debater often
has the words of his speech written
for him by a professor; that classes
are compulsory; and that "every
breath that the student takes is the
university's business, and he must
breathe it at an appropriate and at
a scheduled time."
Mr. Hollis feels that in the excess
of organization something is lost.
"In America the conversationalist is
very rare By far the greatest
vice of American education is that
there is too much of it. No one has
ever been educated In a hurry. Long
evenings, the Socratic threshing out
of subjects until boredom, talk, free
dom; all Is education, and not text
books and credits. It remains to be
Says Latin Can Be Made As Ex
citing To Students As Football
Does football hold too important
a place in the college life of the
modern man or woman? This ques
tion is being discussed in classrooms
throughout the country by students
and professors.
"I think that football occupies
proportionately too much attention,
but, the trouble is not that football
is too attractive, scholastic subjects
ar'e not made attractive enough,"
declared David R. Porter, New York
the national executive secretary of
the Y. M. C. A., in an '"terview
yesterday. He throws a new and
interesting light on this much de
bated question.
"We could teach Latin so it would
become as exciting as football, pro
viding we had the right educational
theory and practice. An increas
ing number of teachers are now
working on this theory to prove the
exciting quality of study.
"The example of students of
Dartmouth, who have perhaps gone
farther than any others in demand
ing a part in educational processes,
shows that many students want to
share in getting their own educa
tion on a higher level, and to show
that professors are of two types:
those who welcome student partici
jpation and those who insist on the
j 'spoon feeding' process."

CONNECTICUT AGS
ABOLISH HAZING
Order Comes as Result of Injury
Received by Freshman When
Paddled
The thin white line of night shirted
freshmen is a thing of the past at
Connecticut Agricultural College.
Henceforth there will be no noctur
nal parade of first year men singing
"How Green we are" with upperclass
ben thumping and bethwacking with
paddles and uppercluss women squeal
ing with delight. An order of the
President of the college abolished
this parade along with all other forms
of hazing.
Because one freshman was serious
ly injured by the over zealous pad
dlers the following comprehensive
hazing rule is now in force:
"Any initiation ceremony or prac
tical joking that involves physical.
personal inj-ury or bodily hai.m or
i the performance, under threat of
forc,e of any action that entaiis the
surrender of one's self respect shall
be deemed hazing."
Another form of" hazing that will
go is the practive of giving freshmen
cold showers is punishment for vio
lation of rules.
DISLIKE COMPUPLSORY
R. O. T. C. DRILL
As a result of the growing resent
ment against compulsory drill at Ohio
State University a faculty committee
will investigate the matter. The in
vestigation, instituted by the acting
president of the University, will in
quire into the value of military train
ing from the educational point of
view.
A preliminary announcement of
the faculty contains this statement:
"Most people think that it is neces
sary to make military training com
pulsory in all land grant colleges.
The Morrill Act of 1862 however,
merely requires that military train
ing be offered in the curriculum.
Several universities have already
abolished compulsory military train
ing. Results at these universities
will be studied. "The faculty itself
is powerless but can merely make
recommendations to the Hoard of
Trustees."

His experience in the universities of
England has been that students are
so attracted to their studios that
they talk about them between class
es and at meals.
Mr. Porter is now spending his
time visiting the Y. M. C. A. organi
zations of the universities of this
country. His last stop was at the
University of Chicago, and he will
go from here to the University of
Kansas. This travel gives him an
excellent insight into modern college
life.

The student Y. M. C. A. organi
zation is the most important factor
in this development, continued Mr.
Porter. Next year it will celebrate
its fiftieth anniversary, but it has
been in the last few years that the
such a marked progress has been
seen.

and then the varsity men began hit

the forward positions, Ekstrom and
Elliott at center and Brown and
Lawson at guards. The coach has
not announced his starting five

and Brown and Lawson at guards.
The Cornhuskers will leave for
Omaha Saturday morning and it is
expected that a large number of stu

Creighton is working hard for this
game, endeavoring to turn out a
