Board Announces Personnel
Of Committees for Event
Scheduled May 6.
Little talk of unemployment will
be heard on Ag campus in the next
two months, for every student in
the college has been assigned two
definite jobs in the preparation and
production of the 1933 Farmers'

campus Saturday, May 6th.
The fair board has just com
pleted its task of assigning jobs to

boys. According to Manager Reu

eant, chief feature of the fair that
will include all the Ag students,
many students from other colleges,
and a large number of children
from the city. The second job will
be on one of the regular commit
tees necessary in the preparation
of the fair.
"It is extremely easys" said Miss
Marion Lynn, promotion chairman,
"to overlook someone when there
are so many students to be as
signed to committees. If any stu
dent in the college does not find
his name appearing on the list, he
should report to the Farmers' Fair
office in Ag hall at once and we
will correct the error."
The fair board announced that
they are anxious for chairmen to
call their committees together and
begin work on their projects at
once. Following are the names of
the students assigned to the main
committee:
Settlor Farm ltar4.

LANTZ SAYS STUDENTS
OF
Religious Conference
Called to Deal With
Problems.
Is
"The feeling that many students
are thinking seriously about prob
lems relating to religion, and about
reconstructing their ideas of re
ligion to conform to more mature
conceptions, is one of the chief rea
sons for our decision to sponsor a
week of meetings and conferences
on religious problems," declared
Prof. E. W. Lantz, chairman of the
Religious Emphasis week pro
grams. The various meetings
which have been planned begin
Friday, March 31 and continue
through Monday, April 3.
The idea of the conference,
said Prof. Lantz, "is not to attempt
to inveigle students to come to a
religious service, but rather to deal
with practical problems relating to
religious beliefs. Questions along
this line are to be given considera-
tion."
A student committee is working
with Professor Lantz in sponsor
ing the meetings which are held
under the auspices of the Religious
Welfare council. Special discus
sions are being arranged at a num
ber of organized bouses on the
campus.
General Meeting Friday.
At 7:30 p. m. Friday, the first
general meeting for all students
will be held in Ellen Smith hall.
Dr. Foster, Mr. Hardwick, and
Bishop Stamm, three of the spe
cial speakers secured for the series
of meetings will each talk briefly
at this time. An introduction to
the various subjects to be dis
cussed during the week will be
given, and a general discussion
and social hour will follow.
Dr. Foster, who is expected to
speak on questions related to the
reconciliation of religious beliefs
with scientific teachings, will also
speak at an Agricultural college
convocation Friday afternoon at 1
o'clock.

Attendance at Rehearsals
Encouraging Believes
Ralph Ireland.
Completing their instruction and
initial rehearsals on the first two
dances, both the male and pony
choruses for the Kosmet Klub
spring show started on their third
dance at the rehearsal last night.
Dr. Ralph Ireland, director of the
choruses, stated yesterday after
noon. "Attendance at chorus re
hearsals has been unusually en
couraging so far this year," he
stated. "The members seem to be
much more interested in learning
the steps. If the present rate of
progress is continued, both chor
uses will have all of their work
mastered in record time," he
added.
Casting Director Herb Yenne
expressed the opinion that the en

stressed the fact that all partici
pants were consistent in attend
ance and were striving to master
their various parts.
The thing that surprises me,'
Yenne said, "is the variety and
quality of talent assembled for the
show. If present conditions are in
any way indicative of the charac
ter of the production. The ear-u
Ranch' will be one of the greatest
arrays of entertainment ever as
sembled by the Klub."
Further announcements of prin
cipals in the cast of the produc
tion and members of the choruses
will be made in the near future, he
indicated.

SHOW CHORUSES START
Bruveleit's Proposal to Do
proposed further cut for the
resisted the measure. The pro
was offered by iiruveleit of Man-
Oand was defeated 64 to 15 with
not one member of the finance
committee lending him support.
Bruveleit's purpose was a desire
for the money for vocational edu
cation, which later was restored in
part, without exerting a crippling
influence on some other activity.
Restoration of $72,000, as com
pared with $95,000 recommended
by the governor, also on motion
of Bruveleit was accomplished by
a vote of 72 to 12.
Committee Splits Up.
A division of six for restoration,
two against, and three not voting,
revealed the strategy exercised by
the committee in its offensive on
previous days when it declined to
permit restoration of vocational
education. It was- their opinion
then, that to let the bars down at
any point during the process of
amending section by section,
might indicate such weakness as
would encourage a stampede.
An important statement by
Richards of Furnas was voiced
when he declared that the state
cannot return to prosperity thru
crippling educational institutions.
"Keep them intact. Continue em
ployment of teachers. Keep look
ing towards progress, he said.
Evidence of voluntary release of
the ties that previously had held
committeemen together was in
dicated by the vote for restoration
by the following members: Chair

FEATURE RENNIX TALK
Baldwin Representative to
Speak on Locomotion at
Engineers Meeting.
"Locomotive Development and
Construction" will be the subject
of a five reel motion picture and a
talk to be given by V. N. Rennix,
representative of the Baldwin Lo
comotive Works, at a regular
meeting of the American Society
of Mechanical Engineers to be held
in room 206 of M. E. hall at 7:30
p. m., Wednesday, Marcn zy.
The meeting, which wul be open
to the public, is under the auspices
of the student section of the A. S.
M. E. Each month a student com
mittee prepares a program for the
regular meeting of the society. The
committee in charge of Wednes
day's program is Harley Urbach,
chairman; Carl Goth. Orville Tay
lor, Warren McCau, David Martin
and George StovalL
Mr. Rennix, field representative
of the Baldwin Locomotive works,
which is one of the largest in exis
tence, is an authority on the sub
ject of railroad equipment and me
chanics. Mr. Rennix's talk and film will
show that while the outward ap
pearance oi the locomotive nag
changed but little in the past fif
teen years, there have been phe
nomenal developments in railroad
equipment and methods of fabri
cation. Radical departures have:
been effected in 1373 of bearings
and steel used, and extensive econ
omies realized through changes in
boiler design and better utilization
of fuels.
New developments such as these
giving greater mechanical effi
ciency, constitute the contribution
of engineering to the present ceed
of railroads for increased econ-
omies, is the belief of Mr. Rennix.
