The three, selected by the tribe, are Haska-na-ya, medi cine man and sand painter; Ya-na-hHh, a woman weaver: and Da-Pah, a finished silversmith. Haska-na-ya, meaning swift man, Is a veteran medicine man who at one time planned to attend the Carlisle Indian .school. His people, however, had planned to make him a medicine man. At their request he remained on the reservation. In the opinion of the tribe he is their best star-gazer. The weaver, Ya-na-bah, is an exceptional artist and can do five types of weaving which she demon strates on the looms she has with her. Da-prih, the silversmith, is a maKtcr in his art and capable of doing all sorts of Kilver work. The general outline of the pro gram presented to each group in cludes demonstrations of the pro cess of the weaving of a Navajo rug, with the weaver working at five different looms on five differ ent designs. The silversmith be gins with silver coins and pro gresses through the different stages of his art. The sand painter does a painting in sand on the floor which is explained by Mr. Staples. Mr. Staples has devoted his life to this sort of .work. His main pur pose is the encouragement of the Indian crafts which are fast dying, and the education of the public to the rapidly vanishing Indian culture. v S in vIl.

MLS 10 DIRECT CORNHUSKER SALES Over-Supply of Yearbooks Formerly Brings New Plan Selleck. SET GOAL 2,000 COPIES A consistent over-supply of Cornhuskers, resulting each spring from the purchase of more year books than are purchased by the students, has resulted in the new plan of disposing of copies of the annual, according to John K. Sel leck, director of the student activ ities fund. "For a long period of years we have had a surplus of from 100 to 700 Cornhusker yearbooks annu ally," Mr. Selleck pointed out. "Due to the excessive cost of printing an annual such as the Cornhusker and the monetary loss which inevitably accompanies an over-supply, we have found it necessary to institute a new sys tem. "This year the Cornhusker staff will be allowed to order only as many books as are ordered by stu dents in advance. There will be absolutely no extra books for sale I in the spring. Set Final Purchase Date. The final sales drive for the 1931 Cornhusker is being conducted during the current week under the sponsorship of the Tassels. This drive is to continue through Wed nesday of next week, after which date no copies will be sold. There will, of course, be no possibility or reopening sales In the spring because there will be no extra books available. Twelve hundred copies of the yearbook were purchased by stu dents during the sales campaign last fall. Staff members and Tas sels are now working toward a goal of 2.000 copies in order that completion of the book on the scale originally planned may be insured. Sales prices for the pre sent drive are $5 cash or $5.50 on the installment plan with a $3 down payment and $2.50 on de livery of the book. The editorial staff of the year book reports that work Is progres sing rapidly toward the comple tion of what they hope to be one of the best apnuals in recent years. Special emphasis on new features of the Cornhusker, and an original set of engravings are expected to add materially to the value of the book.

Frisbie showed by his figures that there are more former 4-H club boys enrolled at the college than former club girls. His chart proves that out of the 591 students in the college for the first semes ter, a total of 171 come from far mer 4-H club ranks. Nearly one-half of the freshman boys enrolled at the college the first semester are former club members. The percentage of for mer club members taking home economics is less,' but this mav be explained by the fact that many of the majors in that department are girls coming from towns and j cities in Nebraska.
