Here is something that concerns all of Ne braska's University family: The state normal hoard of education pre sented its budget request Monday to Gov. R. Ij. Cochran for the 1939-1941 biennium. The board, representing four normal schools Chadron. Kearney, Peru and "Wayne, asked for an appropriation of 2,858,554. The 1937 19.19 biennium appropriation was $1,266,971. Nebraska's normal schools therefore, are ask ing the sttae fur an increase of $1,591,573. Recapitulating the total request, the state normal board of education wants the follow ing: $547,405 for new normal buildings. Peru, $117,375, science hall, re building. Chadron, $183,030, training school building, equipment. Wayne, $247,000 for library, audi torium. $285,818 for faculty salary increases. Peru, $1,510 to $1,800 and $3,022 to $3,960. Chadron, $1,200 to $2,600 and $1,500 to $3,300. Wayne, $1,200 to $1,500 and $3,021 to $3,760. Kearney, $1,200 to $1,800 and $2,400 to $3,600. The state normal officials, you can readily see, are making no bones of what they want. They want their faculty salaries restored to the 19o2 level. They want new buildings, equipment and repairs, all of which they deem MASTER FARMERS (Continued from Page 1.) Ing the past season than at any time in the past ten years. "This loss." he said, "is serious not only to the beekeepers but also to those agricultural indus tries such aa alfalfa seed produc tion and apple production that re quire the services of bees for pol lination of the flowers of seed and fruit crops." President George Olson of Wa hoo advised members of the honey producers to keep surplus stores of honey in their hives as a pre caution against added drouth damage in the future. J. G. Jessup, representing a Council Bluffs com pany, summarized recent impor tant developments and scientific experiments of interest to bee keepers. New Race of Beet. If attempts at controlled mat ing are successful, a different race of bees may be the result, he said. Efforts are being made to develop a disease resisting stock as well. Jessup mentioned the possibility that use of two queens in one hive may increase the population and honey crop. Also of importance to beekeepers are experiments de signed to develop improved honey producing plants such as fine stem sweet clover suitable for hay and an improved red clover which bees could help pollinate. 8ucress of the experiment would greatly re duce the cost of sweet clover seed, he predicted. More than 300 samples of grain were entered Tuesday in the state wide small grain utility show at organized agriculture. Oats, bar ley, hybrid corn, winter wheat, spring wheat, sorghums and al falfa are on exhibition in the seed laboratory at the agricultural col lege. All are samples from certi fied seed.

What they ask of the state is not including the cash funds derived largely from student fees. The budget request by the normal schools astonishing to some because of its million and a half dollars increase precedes the budget that the University Nebraska's board of regents will submit to the governor. It is unusual for a state instrumentality to request so much nior than appropriated in the pre vious biennium. Especially, an educational body. Why did the state normal board ask for so much? Because 1 he board expected the state to fulfill the entire request? Because the board believed a larger request would provoke sufficient interest to bring about, some increase in the appropriation? Because the board felt 1he increase request would influence the state to sympathize wilh the normal schools in the proposed ten year educational building pro gram ? What the state normal board has re quested of Governor Cochran should be of keen interest to every member of the Ne braska university family, because the uni versity is equally dependent upon the state for its biennium appropriation. The univer sity must look to the state for faculty sal ary increases, a new library, a men's dormi tory, new class buildings and repairs and supplies, just as the state normal schools must. Normal schools and the university are in the same boat, as far as their dependency upon the state of Nebraska for appropria tions are concerned. The normal schools have asked for a million and a half dollars over and above their previous appropriation. Are the -state normal schools rocking the boat?

He consid ered activity experience valuable in business because one learns to work with many and all types of individuals, and he felt sure that business men are looking for activity-men. Make More Enemies than Friends. Another activity nrn thought that the msny enemies you make in the "racket" overshadow the friends you make. The impression whs general that activities, once entered are hard to gt out of, and that most people stayed in because of their fraternity. Professors in the different col lepea were reluctant to take one aide or the other, most suggesting that a balance a combination of activities and study was to be preferred. In the question of sac rificing one to the other, they felt that scholarship was of the great est value in the long run. Professor Prefers Activities. A professor in teachers college thought that if a combination were impossible, activities should take precedence, since it would be easier to compensate for the lack of scholastic training than for social malajustments. An arts and science faculty member said that Phi Beta Kappa counts much more than any ac tivities rating when it comes to professions or business where your college record Is referred to.

Organized agriculture is the term used to describe the short course in agriculture and rural home economics that is offered each year to those farm folks who are interested in keeping abreast of the times. Each winter, after corn picking time, when work on the farm is slack, farmers may come to Lincoln for a short, In tensive period of training in all branches of agriculture. Here, in a few days, they hear reports on de velopments of the past year, ex change ideas and experiences, and find entertainment and amuse ment. Organized agriculture operates like a great university, the vari ous organizations taking the place of the colleges therein. Organized agriculture week is the occasion for the annual meetings of a num ber of agricultural groups and persons interested in two or more are able to attend most of the sessions of each group in which they are interested. Tuesday, the second day of Or ganized agriculture, might be re garded as a typical day. The Ne braska Farm Bureau federation met, held its business meeting, enjoyed a brief period of enter tainment and heard an informa tive lecture on German economic and political expansion down the Danube. The hall of agricultural achievement honored Lawrence Bruner, the federation joining in this tribute. The Honev Producers as.socia- tion conducted its business as-well j fla havinc n full rinv of instruc- tional work. The same is true of the Nebraska Horticultural so-1 cietv. In both cases members I carried away a number of new ideas developed since, the last ses sion. The evening brought the master farmer banquet at which tribute was paid farmers who have distinguished themselves in their particular field. Nearly every phase of the busi ness of farming and of home mak ing on the farm is touched upon at the sessions of organized ag riculture. The various livestock groups have their meetings. Dairy ing and poultry raising are taken up. The farmer gets an intimate view of new developments in ma- chinery.

'Smole' o Smile Walter Blair writes in the au tumn issue of the University Re view of the University of Kansas City concerning Mark Twain's del icate choice of words when the humorist wrote: "Tom he. turned his back to git room and be pri- vale and then he smole a smile Mli-it uniDM.I arnnni-l anr rnvered the whole Sahara to the west ward ..." Mr. Blair indicates that when Mark Twain those the word "smole" he did it because "smiled" has a niggardly high pitched "I" and a stop consonant at the end. "Smole," says Blair, has a low pitched vowel combined with three continuous consonants "to give gulden expression to Tom's com pletely savored enjoyment." Is it pos.-iblc that Mark Twain thought that all out? Dictating from bed, did Mark ponder long upon the .top consonant and the continuous vowels? Probably Mark Twain never thought about it at all, He just wrote it Wcause he knew that vernacular and he knew the boys who would have said it. Ami the word sninuled good to him.

To be sure to get a cross-section of universities, he chose 14 that were publicly controlled, 11 that were privately controlled, and one of these was a Negro university. He bases his data on theyurvey of 15,535 stu dents who entered the universities in the year of 1931-3210,972 men and 4,563 women. The survey showed that out of the 62 percent of the freshmen classes which left their colleges, 5 out of every 100 either came back at a later date and received degrees or transfered to another college. About 2 percent more women who enter college graduate than do men. About 8 percent more students who enter privately con trolled universities graduate than do students who enter state schools. Of the total students 33.8 percent left during or at the end of the freshman year, 16.7 percent during or at the end of the soph omore year, 7.7 percent at the end of the junior year, and 3.9 percent at the end or during the senior year.
