LANCASTER. Pa. According to plans explained recently by Dr. Henry H. Apple. Frenklin and Marshall college is to become a center of culture relations between the United States and Germany. At the last meeting of the Board of Trustees it was announced that Franklin and Marshall college. te cause of its traditional background, has been awarded the Carl Schurz Meir.oiiel foundation of i'.75,000. The money will be givea to es tabhsn a German professorship with the understanding that a similar amount be raised by the college. College authorities have announced that conditions indicate that friends of the school will sub scribe the required amount. It is hoped that work many start as early as ne::t fall, if possible, but plans so far are only tentative. Plans call for an exchange of German stud?nts and German pro fessors between Franklin and Mar shall college and Uie universities of Germany. Considerable research work will be done in the school. There will be an exchange of publications and many of the most important of them will be trans lated into English at the school. When the foundation plans were announced colleges and univer sities of the nation made strong bids for the $75,000 fund. Among those bids were Harvard. Yale, Columbia, University of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Franklin and Mar shall was chosen, according to Dr. Apple, because of its traditional background. Franklin college was founded by the Pennsylvania Ger mans arid the first president of Marshall collere was the late Frederich A. Rauch. who was brought to this country from Ger many to establish the institution. All thru the history of the two schools and later the combined in stitution, German cultural influ ence has been felt.

"You have treated mt fairly," he acknowledged, retiring from the room. Ramsay declared that he would put a $500 bond in trust this week, with the president of the senior class as trustee. The seniors applauded again.

Without asking for contributions, he de scribed the obligation which every student owes to the University of Nebraska. Calls for Vote. "How many of you believe that we should have a student union building a place to house student activities, a centralizing factor is student spirit,- a place to loaf, study or lounge?" he asked of the seniors. The reply was unanimous in the affirmative. "How many of you would be willing to give twenty-five dollars this year or pledge that amount for the future?" A few objected to this sum, so the obliging speaker cut the amount to ten, five, a dollar and a quarter, and finally ninety-eight cents, in true auctioneer fashion. Explains Union's Purpose. A studtrt union building, as ex plained by Mr. Ramsay, would be be a place for students to meet be tween classes, instead of going home or standing outside univer sity buildings. He believes that alumni would be willing to stand some of the expense, provided that students themselves are earnestly in favor of erecting the structure As a psssiole site, he mentioned the northeast corner of Fourteenth end R streets. After Ramsay's talk and Jen sen's exit, the matter was opened to discussion on the floor. Several students asked questions of the alumni secretary and a few sug gestions were made concerning the pltn of attack. Members of the senior class who attended the con- i clave were enthused about the idea as evidenced by their applause of the speaker and his plans. Anoth er class meeting will be held in the near future, according to President Grau, to discuss a student union building more thoroughly. Business Session Follows In a short business session fol lowing Ramsay's talk, Leroy Jack suggested that letters of S3rmpa thy be sent to families and fra ternities of Bernard Polsky and Winston Bebn, recently deceased members of the class of 1931. The suggestion was unanimously adopt ed by the seniors. This class meeting, the first in several years for purposes other than political skirmishing, was sponsored by the Innocents soci ety in the interests of a student union building for the University of Nebraska. The Innocents plan to arrange mass meetings of other classes in an attempt to educate the student body concerning the purpose of such a structure. WimherJy Has Two Storien Published Prof. L- C.

AVE SENIORS WILL STAR! SOONER IT Oklahoma Game To Finish Intercollegiate Cage Tlay Saturday. Five Husker seniors will start the final basketball game of the year against the Oklahoma Soon ers to be staged on the coliseum floor at 8 o'clock Saturday eve ning. With Morris Fisher and Seldon Davey as forwards, Don Maclay aa center, and Ed Stipsky and Leon ard Conklin at the guard assign ments, the last act of the Big Six loop play will get under way. These men are all playing their last bit of intercollegiate basket ball. Coach Black has been easing up on his men this week concentrat ing on basket shooting and light offensive work. Oklahoma should fall before the Cornhusker quintet according to the comparative rec ords of the two teams. The Soon ers have been able to score only two wins In eight start so far this season, one over Kansas uni versity as a big upset feature and more recently over Iowa State. The Huskers have been trailing In bad luck lately, however, losing three in a row to K. U., Iowa State and Kansas Aggies. The Jaj hawks are in undisputed possession of first place in the conference while Nebraska and Kansas Aggies are knotted in second position. The second spot rating will depend, then, on the results of games this week end. Each team in the con ference has one remaining tilt with the exception of the Oklahoma five who encounter Kansas State at Norman next Tuesday. OUTLOOK INDICATES LOW FARM PRICES (Continued from Page 1.) rhpnn lnhnr and lack Of monev to buy new. high priced machinery. Prospects for a big corn acreage point to low prices next fall if yields are normal. The wheat price situation will continue unfavorable, except in case of serious crop fail ure over the world, which is not likely. Withdrwal of farm board support of the present pegged price of wheat will necessitate the adjustment of the price for 1931 wheat to world levels, which are at present 30 to 35cents lower than United States prices. Shift to Barley. Another shift from oats to barley seems desirable because of declining demand for the former for horse feed. More rapid shift from grass types to legume types of hay will improve hay quality. No increase is warranted in acre age of sweet clover or alfalfa for seed, or sugar beets, of beans, or of flax. In fact, the farmer may best center his attention this com ing year on growing the crops most profitable on his farm, cut ting expenses to the minimum, and thus weather the -storm: Pros pects look better for the end of the year than they did a year ago, when farm prices were still plung ing downward. The men who made up the report believe the depres sion Is at the bottom now and that things should begin picking up with the coming spring and sum mer season, but recovery may be irregular and show. Complete copies of the 1931 out look report can be obtained of county agents or from the agricul tural college at Lincoln free of charge.

While the Nebraska basketball team has been frequently dubbed the "Iron Men" because they usually played their entire games intact, the Kansas team can rightfully be called the "Big Six" champion. The Big Six refers to Cox, Page, Bishop, O' Leary. Johnson and Ramsey, for it is those six men who carried the brunt of the battle for Kansas in every game. With the loss of Hale and Ran som the day before the Oklahoma game at Norman this year and sickness cutting into the thin ranks of the Jayhawkers, the Mt. Oread athletes have been skating on thin ice but the Big Six champions have shown what they were able to do.

Many strange requests reach the chemistry stockroom of the Uni versity of Oregon. One innocent freshman was ambitious enough to want a set of "molecular" weights. Another wanted to check out a couple of "brunettes."' Even "barometric pressures" and "end points' are sometimes called for. ew prom Qirl Qood ploor jxquisite Jecorations ALL FOR $250 It's Your LAST CHANCE To Display The Iron Front! FOR TEXAS STUDENTS Small Checks Are Common In Southern System Of Banking. FORT WORTH. Checks for twenty-five cents are not uncom mon at the Trust Fund bank, pri vate banking: system run by Texas Christian university for the benefit of its students. The largest check that any stu dent has ever written was for $382.50, according to Mrs. Irene Smiser, cashier. The students' money may be de posited in the Trust Fund bank and checked on at will, thus elim inating the necessity of keeping money in their rooms. Business houses near the campus accept the checks, but they do not pass in the ordinary channels of business. During the school year the aver age of the deposits stands at about $55,000. This includes the funds of various student organizations, as well as the many individual ac counts. Withdrawals average about J ISO daily, with an average of 20 to 30 checks. "A large number of freshmen have to be taught how to write checks when they first come to the university," Mrs. Smiser says. MINNESOTA MAY OUST T Steps Taken To Eliminate Language Courses in Frosh Schedule. MINNEAPOLIS. Steps to eli minate all required freshman Eng lish courses may be taken by the university in the near future, ac cording to information gleaned yesterday from sources considered absolutely authoritative. Heads of the administration have been considering the aboli tion of the required first year Eng lish course for some time, it was said. The high cost and relative low return for the investment was given as the major reason why the move is being considered. The two courses involved, Eng lish 4-5-6 and A-B-C, are required of all freshman students who have received below a certain mark in the English test which they take before their enrollment in the arts 0 o Smart accessories in money-saving offer ings.

First Floor college or other non-technical school. The first course in English open to any students would be "Intro ductlon to Literature." This course is now taught by Mist Elizabeth. Jackson and Lewis HessJer. whose cla-sscs number more than 300 stu dents In several sections. At the present time twenty three instructors are required to teach the beginning English courses, with 1.148 students en rolled in the two freshman Eng lish sequences. The average salary of instruc tors is about $2,100 a year, or an approximate total of $48,000 per year for instruction alone in these courses. According to estimates, each student in these courses costs the university about $15 a quarter for instruction. W. G. Goddard of the University of Toronto expressed himself as in favor of the presence of women in a college or a university. He says, "The coeds in any college lend a softening or ameliorating influ ence on the men, I dqn't mean by that the men become effeminate, but they at least curb their action on the campus and in the class room to a more desirable degree.
