Leap Year May Change Tactics Of Pin Hanging (By Bill McCleery) Pin-hanging at Nebraska is serious business, but at Omaha University it's just another popular indoor sport. This is reported that is, the facts were reported, to a reporter by a Nebraskan visiting Omaha. "There's nothing serious about hanging pins at Omaha University," says the university lad. "There, it seems that if a girl wears more than one pin it means popularity. Here it means threatened homicide." There are no definite facts con- the oriein of the old custom WW. ---O of pin-hanging. Undoubtedly the tra ditional habit has come down tnrougt the ages from some prehistoric ani mal. The act probably originated in the male sneaking up on, and slitting his prospective mate's throat. Today the method is less hasty, but equally effective. This is a trifle off the subject, but w notice that students at Omaha U hung their prexy in effigy Tuesday night. They don't take their hanginr seriously at Nebraska we woiuY probably well, you know what we mean. It won't be very long now unti' the new crop of freshmen have their pins to hang.

INSTRUCTOR GOES TO INSPECT SPODS Brown Fruit Company Sends Werner To Florida to View Seed Potato Tetta Professor H. O. Werner of the Horticulture department left yes terday afternoon for West Palm Beach, Florida, at the expense of the Brown Fruit and Produce Co., to in vestigate the results of planting treated certified western Nebraska, seed potateos, of the 1927 crop. Those western Nebraska potatoes are given a treatment of ethylene chloro hydrin and then shipped direci to Florida and replanted. "This treatment really 'kids' the Knuds out of a whole winter's rest and wakes them up ready to grow immediately after they arrive in the south," Dr. Werner says. "Anyone knows that potatoes will not sprout in the fall. The treatment is a real factor in potato production in the south where potato men must have seed to plant in the early winter." With this method of potato rais- ine new potatoes may be available on the market at all times of the vear because they can be grown at all times of the year in the southern states, and with this new treatment it is no longer necessary for the sed to be stored away for a length of time before it will sprout and grow.
