LET'S SHOUT.
Tn l.-iiuicliiiitf its campaign for a free bus
line between the city and ag campuses, the stu
dent council might do well to impress upon
its constituents the vital responsibility which
every student must shoulder in order to insure
any degree of success. It will not be the
unceasing efforts of the student council, but
rather the unceasing agitation of the students
as a whole, that will force this dream to be
realized. And the stronger that agitation, the
sooner will come results.
Without their compilation of data even
nearly completed, the student council obvi
ously has not yet formulated its definite plan.
However the sources from which funds for
this bus may be drawn are innumerable, and
the louder the student's da mar the more of
these sources that may" be touched.
Students, if you won't let football games
arouse you, if foreign affairs bore you, can
you at least become interested in something
which may save hundreds of dollars in the
course of your college life? If so, help, don't
hinder, the task of the council, and keep work
ing until you can ride your own bus free.
THE UNIVERSITY LEADS
By inviting to the campus the nation's
leaders in the recent transportation movements,
the university has taken an admirable step
toward aiding in solution of one of this state's
greatest problems. More important to the
future of this state, however, is the fact that
leaders hope to make this (or similar) confer
ences an annual event.
Of inestimable value to our industrial and
economic future can this type of intelligent
consideration by important and educated spe
cialists ultimately prove. By concerted action
of well informed groups to solve similar state
problems, great advances can be realized.
Obviously the state university is the logical
place for such leadership and activity to be
manifested.

harem, the locale of the play shifts
back and forth between the glamor
of Turkish Bagdad and Mecca.
Features Caliph, business man.
Centered around the Caliph of
Bigdad and the American bus
iness man who is striving to re
alize great pi of its in the sale of
tukish towels by expanding his
business thru Turkey and Persia,
the play is a fast moving comedy
complicated by Horton's acci
dental discovery of Aladdin's mag
ic lamp.
Deger as the Caliph, a general
"man about Bagdad," supports
and keeps contented ten wives in
his well filled harem. He finds
himself the object of Throckmor
ton's attentions, for if Throekmor-'
ton gets the Caliph to recommend
his towels he will have a monopoly
on the eastern markets.
Bob Johnnon in the part of Rita
is love sick and fancy free. He
(or she) has had eight loves be
fore the play opens and her bat
ting aveiage is still .000.
Bill Goetz in the part of Akbar
is Caliph's right hand man. Ray
Brown playing the role of Abdul
LaBul Bui, is a wolf in Sheik's
clothing and a villainous villain
who is "villin" to do anything to
accomplish his ends. Sid Campbell
as Mrs. Throckmorton is J. P.!is
henpecking wife.
The show, which is set for April
17-22, was written by F-d Steeves
and Bruce Campbeli, jourr.'lism
seniors.
Commenting on their work, the
authors declared, "We have at
tempted to create the riot type of
production, using an exotic locale
with colorful costumes, distinctive
dialogue and a novel plot."

taxis or in automobiles.
Profiting by suggestions offered
from other universities dealin?
with the same problem, the stu
dent council proposes:
1. To assess a fixed fee on each
student having classes on both
campuses, the fee to cover the cur
rent expenses of operating an in
tercampus bus service.
2. To stagger classes on the
two campuses with a 15 minute
interval between the time that
the students are excused on the
one and the time that the follow
ing classes are started on the
other. This adjustment will rem
edy the problems of leaving class
es early or arriving at succeeding
classes late.
Minnesota dean suggests plan.
A letter from E. M. Freeman,
dean of the college of agriculture,
forestry and home economics at
Minnesota university explained
the success of a program similar
to this on the Minneosta campus.
The avoidance of duplication of
classes on the two campuses, Dean
Freeman wrote, has proved a big
saving to the university. Each de
partment has been able to apply
itself to more specialized instruc
tion. Exemplifying this statement,
the Minnesota man declared that
the chu'nistry department of their
ag campus was able now to de
vote all its resources to bio-chemistry,
since ag students can get
basic chemistry courses with no
additional expense in the city.
Savings pay for bus cost.
Such a saving has been accom
plished through instructional uni
fication, Dean Freeman- continued,
that we are able to operate the
interrampus bus service at no
cost whatever to the student.
A 25 minute interval between
classes on the ag campus and
those on the city campus gives
students plenty of time to get to
successive classes.
A greater opportunity is given
to more students to study animal
husbandry, home economics or re
lated subjects under the Minne
sota plan than under an institution
in wluch the two campuses have
no connection.
Students, in filling out the ques
tionaires, are asked to consider
this particular question carefully:
"Would you take courses on either
campus if the university reduced
the transportation expense?"
