Stoke Describes
TVA 'Publicity'
Former Staff Member
Tells of Public Relations
Kxtent of the public relations of
the Tennessee valley authority and
the importance to the organization
of its information department
were revealed by Dr. Harold Stok?
of the university's political sci-
! ence department as he talked in-
I formally to the Theta Sigma Phi
alumnae meeting in the faculty
lounge of the Student Vnion build
ing last night.
Dr. Stoke, who was educational
supei-visor of the TVA last year,
stated that the organization is as
interested in public relations
as
any private enterprise has ever
been.
So important is the public rela
tions aspect in the TVA that its
information department was the
third section organized at the out
set of the project.
No information on the project,
whether by speech, interview or
writing, may be given out without
the approval of the information
director, whose office is in close
connection with that of the gen
eral manager of the TVA.
Publicity Network.
Forty regular employees and a
host of temporary assistants 'i
in preparing the vast amount of
publicity which emerges from the
power project in Tennessee. Mov
ies, illustrated pamphlets, and pic
tures are prepared for the en
lightenment of the general public,
while elaborate diagrams to gov
ernmental officials and reports to
congress arc all in the informa
tion department's activities, Doc
tor Stoke said.
It is impossible to determine the
exact amount spent in publicity
work because of the fact that
other departments share expenses
in special projects. Stoke stated,
and because the TVA is not In
cluded in the U. S. budget it has
leeway in appropriating large
sums to cover publicity expenses.
F. W. Johnson to Talk
On Venezuelan Work
Mr. F. Walker Johnson, grad
uate of the university and at pres
ent employed by the Laga Pe
troleum company, Venezuela, will
talk on his experiments in Vene
ruela at a meeting of Sigma Gam
ma Epsilon, honorary geological
fraternity, Thursday at 7:30, in the
auditorium, Morrill hall.
Anyone interested ia invited to
attend the meeting.
Meat Judges'
Victory Sets
New Record
Zahm High Scorer at
Chicago, Kansas City
The Nebraska agricultural col
lege meats judging team hung; up
a record for future teams to shoot
at when it won the international
livestock exposition meats judging
contest nt Chicago Tuesday. This
made the second consecutive year
Nebraska has won both the Chi
cago event and the American
Royal meats contest at Kansas
City
The victory at Chicago marked
an individual triumph for Kdward
Zahm. Spalding. Zahm was high
man of the entire contest at Chi
cago Tuesday, just as he had beer,
at Kansas City s few weeks
earlier. It was also a red letter
day for Prof. Ross H. Miller of the
animal husbandry department.
Miller began coaching the meats
teams last year .and has not seen
his teams place below first in
either of the major events.
Fourteen teams of three men
each representing leading agricul-
Itural colleges of the United States
and Canada competed at Chicago.
Nebraska scored 2,3!lp out of a
possible 2,700 points. Iowa Stale
was second with 2,367; Ohio State
third; Oklahoma A. A M. fourth;
Kansas State fifth, and Minnesota
sixth.
First in Pork.
Nebraska placed first in pork,
missed first place in lamb hy only
one point, ami placed eighth in
beef. Alt ho Zahm was high indi
vidual in the contest with KOfl
points. Russell .lacobson of St. Kd
ward was a close second with S05.
Ray Cruise of Curley was ninth
high individual. In this high in
dividual rating, the team members
repeated their unusual achieve
ment at Kansas (ity this year
when all of the same three men
placed high in the first ten indi
viduals. .anm was first at Chicago in
lamb judging and third in pork;
Jacobson fourth in beef, sixth in
lamb and seventh in pork, and
Cruise fifth in pork.
The contest Tuesday was spon- j
sored by the national livestock and
meat board of Chicago, which in
cludes two NehraskHns as direc
tors: Dan Hildcbrand of Seward
and H. G. Keeney of Omaha. Ne
braska has now won five of the
1.1 annual meats contests held at
Chicago. Prof. Win. J. Loeffel.
acting chairman of the animal
husbandry departmerit. was instru
mental in getting the contest
started in 1!26, and coached the
Nebraska teams until two years
ago.
