For Large Scale Exhibit of Fossil,

An article by Ur. E. II. Barbour, curator of the university

the country. The giant specimen
of them all was Dinobyus Hol

are known, namely, the one at

Morrill collections at the museum.
Platygonus Was Fighter.
The Platygonus, an early native

AG FAIR TO STRESS
Criticism for Commercial
Aspects Leads to
Change.
WORK IS WELL STARTED
The 1931 Farmer's fair to be
held on the College of Agriculture
campus Saturday, May 2, will lay
mnra atrswi than ever before on
educational exhibits, the senior
i i i
board announced yesieiuay.
Manager Myrle White said more
attention will be given the ex
hibits to make them attract a rec
ord crowd to the campus for the
annual event.
In recent years the lair nas Deen
severely criticised for commercial
izing. With this thought in mind,
the fair board for this year hopes
to make the exhibits more out
standing and limit the sideshows
and concessions. At the same time,
they announce that there will be
sideshows on the midway for the
thousands of visitors at the proper
time.
Games Open in Evening.
Contrary to custom, the fair
board plans to open the games of
chance on the midway only in the
evening and late tlternoon. Hav
ing the concessions going In the
afternoon in previous years has
tended to Interest the crowds more
than the exhibits and the board
hope to correct this defect this
year.
Having the games of chance op
erating only in the evening is al
lowing them to make bigger pre
parations for a bigger evenings
entertainment than before More
shows and games in the evening
and the midway will be crowded
with blanket vendors.
Drink Stands Run All Day.
Manager White says, however,
that refreshments stands will be
open on the ground thruout the
day. Fair patrons will be able to
quench their thirst most any
place on the grounds.
In addition to the feature side
shows and ames in the evening
coll-agrl-fun will give their per
formance only In the evening. Dur
ing the past few years this event
has been one in itself upon the
agricultural college campus but
this year the fair board decided it
would draw more visitors to the
fair if it were combined with the
annual show. Eleanor Dixon, Art
DanieUon and Clarence Clover are
the committee chairmen in charge
of the big sideshow.
Most of the major committees
for the fair have held their inltita
meetings and have their work well
started on the 1931 fair, Manager
White asserted this morning.
Much of the work for the fair will
be completed by spring vacation
with the students coming back to
put the fair over big, be declares.

Her Claim Denied.

Files of Prairie Schooner Contain
Many Curious Correspondences From
Contributors to Literary Magazine
By SEARS RIEPMA.
J'crhnpN chip of the most curioiiH collcctioim of li tters to be
found in the univcreity, if not in Lincoln, is 1 hat which rcprn-Kf-nts
the ((leariings of 1hc Prairie Schoonrr'H guminc or would
be contributors. According to editors of this western literary
maKazine, these letters are of all types and varieties, ranging
from the suddenly inspired genius of a railway clerk in the
Kentucky hinterland to the experienced writings of an accred
ited author.
"While the bulk of our corre-i
spondence comes from the ex
tremes of the continent. New York
and California, Nebraska talent Is
none the less among the foremost,
and It is actually from this section
of the country where we draw the
greater part of our printed mat
ter," said Prof. L. C. Wlmberly,
editor.
Many strange things are come
across In the large mall received.
For Instance, one woman from
some remote small town in Mis
souri writes a poem wblcn, she
says, she "thought was very good
and couldn't sleep over another
night" These cases of autnors
being insomniac over their efforts
are very common.
Many People Write.
One person writes, rather plain
tively, ''I tri(d to bury this, but it

' Articles Razz Campus.
Lfad articles of the humor sheet
which thoroughly razzed the less
aesthetic aspects of Nebraska's
campus were written by Fred Oet-
gen, William rnomas aicieci.y
and Gene R. Robb. The cover de
sign was drawn by S. Wenke.
"A Noble Experiment Dy jei
gen dwells especially on the drill
field as an example of the "campus
beautiful" and is illustrated with
the Darade uxound well veiled in a
typical March dust storm. Other
pictures depict tne wooaen in.-is.ri.

with placards a la Chirk Soles, a
slender maid poised ror a piunge

stalled fire escape on the Temple
and a sign "Little Gem Cafe a
good place to eat at" on the sign
board in the usual position in
ront of Pharmacy hall.
McCleery Writes of Union.
McCleery's article. "In Union
There Is Strength," starts out
with the student union subject and
spends most -of its strength on
civil war history. In "Greak Archi
tecture" Robb describes some of
the fraternity houses in a quite
uncomplimentary manner.
Wenke's cover shows the front
of the overcrowded Temple dec
orated with signs: "U. S. P. O..'
"Cafeteria," "Y. M. C. A.." "Alum
ni Association," "Vote Here!," and
"Dramatics Department' and the
south basement entrance of U hall
with similar pointers indicating
the various student publications
housed therein.
No Cigarettes.
A most noticeable item is a
cigarette advertisement minus the
word "cigarette" in compliance
with the ban on tobacco advertis
ing in the publication.
Editorially the Awgwan opines
that "after all, Nebraska students
take a sort of fiendish delight in
the incongruities and monstrosi
ties of the campus , . . Ne
braska xtudentR reallv have a
great affection for the campus.
They love it with the same affec
tion that one loves an ugly cur
dog which he wouldn't trade for
the finest thorough-bred."
