LOOK AT YOURSELF Here wc sit in the cow-barn. The view- is one of rolling slopes, green grass, budding bushes, and spreading trees finest examples of Mother Nature's favorite outdoor sport. In such an atmosphere, even the smell wafting around the cowbarns only adds "to the love a loyal Nebraskan can hold for his wind swept state. What a crime it would have been if Lincoln industrialists had carried thru their one time scheme to mine the agricultural campus to the site of the city campus! It wouldn't be the lost beauty, the un used white stone buildings, however, that would be silent remembrance of a better day gone by. Instead it would be S00 students who every year would be deprived of one of the greatest pleasures of life, 800 students who every year would not be able to prac tice the democratic principles which this state has not yet lost. Since its founding ag campus has been spared the smugness and selfishness of melro polilanism. Every student on ag campus seems to know every other. To ignore or refuse a salutation seems a foreign possibility to Iheir minds. How much the ambitious and con ceited small town farmer living on the city campus could learn from these honest and sin cere young people who pay their tuition for the purpose of gaining an education. How deflat ing it would be for ihem to discover that ag college purposely forsakes city campus activi ties for Ihc more genuinely pleasurable parties of Iheir own. Ag college seems not to know the frauds of politics, the falsity of personal airs. Even tasks distributed to all are accepted and ac complished without the grumbles of jealousy or the pomposity of glib tongues which belie lazy bodies. That is why their Farmers Fair has existed thru the years to "come of age" in 1930. How much the university could gain from a study of this one small unit. Students with a unity in purpose, stiidenls wilh a desire for friendship enjoy completely their years of learning and playing. These are the students who are gaining the abundance of knowledge and developing the qualifies ot personality which prove the success of an educational in stitution. They will continue to grow and to develop their understanding of the world while taking Iheir places as useful citizens. Their long hours of work, study, and companionship are affording them a real pic ture of life in all its realism. They have dis covered the existence of beauty and simpli city imbedded in hatred and cruelty. They have discovered that beauty and friendship is real. They have discovered that it is sin cerity and honesty, not snubbishness and su periority, that is real, just as the smell in this cowbarn, altho intangible, is very much real. Ag campus prepares for annual fair (Continued from Page 1.) the various activities now being conducted. Tours of the campus will be lead by "farmer" glides who will attempt to explain some f the various exhibits to the "city slickers." The tours are scheduled for the afternoon and from 5:20 to 7:00 in the evening. Ray Cruise, farm fair manager, Bays that the parade which is scheduled for 10:30 Saturday morning will include such promi nent Nebraskans as Governor Cochran, Mayor Copeland of Lin coln, and other public and uni versity officials who will congre gate on the ag campus with the university band which will lead the parade and eat the noon luncheon which is rumored might consist of barbecued beef. THE MTDWAY Like all fairs and celebrations no one is complete with out its mid way with its lights, shows, con cessions, and food stands varying from ice cream and cotton candy to the already famous bart-ecue. As yet the " igsters" cannot see anything of the midway, but th" ng col'ege 'bn;k to the earthers" have visions or a midway that will be truly slupeii lous. From all that can be gathered at this Mme there's going to be bingo, shoot ing galleries, and etc., in faet all the things that are usually found in a midway i'-is a few extra fea tures wliieh are guaranteed to make this fair the biggest and best ycl. For those who gorged them selves during the noon luncheon, the ng college chorus will present 15 minutes of vocal entertainment during which all can lay down on the verdant lawns and just tin-lax. STYLE SHOW The Greeks had their gods and not to be undone are the farmers. So Phyllis Chamberlain, benutlous president of the Mortar F.oards, will be presented as the Goddess of Agriculture and her "royal high ness" will reign over the entire fair, which is something for the undent Greeks to thing, about Incidentally the Goddess will be presented during the style show, which will feature a parade of year 'round clothing styles which were designed fend made by the viria r,t the home economics de partment. The dresses, as is under stood, are designed for simplicity and attractiveness. RODEO AND HORSE SHOW Ride 'em cowboy! Dust will bil low from the pounding hooves of wild horses, maddened steers, balky steers, balky mules, and frightened calves. Some of tte more daring he-men of the cam pus will attempt to board these wild beasts and stick on their backs until the animals have either been tamed or the luckless rider has landed on dear old mother earth. A little more subdued but never theless an event of interest is the scheduled horse show which also will be held in the arena at the same time as the rodeo. Competi tion for the trophies is divided into the jumping class, the three gaited class, five gaited class and the po tato race. Vieing for the honors of having the best horsewomen, a in tersorority riding class contest will seek out the girl who is most able to handle what westerners call, "hoss flesh." At present there are 40 girls entered. KAMPUS KAPERS "Yessirce," heNnight have seeds in his hair and he mifcht be slight ly perfumed but "Aaron Slick from Punkin Creek" outsmarts the city slickers again in the famous rural comedy tilled after the hero of the play. Ag dramatics will give two showings of the play, one at 4 :1 S in the afternoon and the other at 7:15 in the evening. Howard Giliaspio of Cortland, ag college junior will make his debut in the title role of "Aaron Slick." Gillaspie was chosen from a group of !." students to portray the country boy who proves not to be as dumb as ho looks. These ag students are really versatile, de cided the publication staff. One minute they're milking a cow and the next they have donned some grease paint and go onto the stage to present a really fine evening s entertainment. BOXING AND WRESTLING Inside the flood lights sur rounded by strong ropes in the Animal Husbandry building, the thud of boxing gloves on some un fortunate's nose ar.d the groans of some wrestler whose legs have been wound up like a clock spring will be heard immediately follow ing the final nhowitg of Kampus Knpers. In the two main boxing events Ed SelnvnrUUopf will be in one corner and Everett I.omax in the other. The ring will contain Shelley Condon and Taul Fidler in the second bout. Grunts and groans will be aud ible when Harold Bacon against Harold Walkup and Don Wegener vs. Ray McKee get into the ring in an attempt to pin the other down. All the contestants in both the wrestling and boxing are ag college students. DANCE Climaxing the entire af-"fair" is the swingeroo which will be held in the activities building from 9:00 to 12:00. Jungbluth and his or chestra will swing out for all "farmers" and the city slickers. Bus line, (Continued from Paee 1.1 in the proposal which he will sub mit to the board: 1. A 5 cent rate would dis criminate against other school groups In the city who would not be Included in the reductioin. 2. It would be economically Impossible for the company to extend the reduction to all these groups. These conclusions were arrived at after he had examined the fig ures obtained jointly by the coun cil and the NEBRASKAN relative to the number of students com muting between campuses, and after he had consulted his legal staff concerning the legal angles of discrimination. If the proposal is approved, the council will make every effort to put it into effect as soon as pos sible. It will be the first re.adt of the long campaign of the Council for belter bus service, which was .piked by the unexpected en trance of the issue into the Lin coln City Council race on March T.O when Rccs Wilkinson issued a statement to the DAILY NE P.RASKAN promising support of 5 cent university rates if he were elected. Ag judging teams reap honor ot country s stock shows Student meat, crop judges gain recognition Judging teams of the univer sity Ag college met with great success in competition thruout the country during 1938-39. Greatest plaudits went to the meat judging team which came out in first position in their divi sion of both the American Royal Livestock show held at Kansas City in October, 1938, and the International Livestock exposi tion held in Chicago November the same year. Coach Ross Mil ler's teams at Nebraska have won first place in both contests for the two consecutive years he has been here, an unparalleled achievement in any other universities or col leges. Members of the team included Russell Jncobson, Edward Zahm, and Ray Cruise with Paul Fidler and Jeff Broady as alternates. Crops judges win. The 1938 crops judging and identification team equalled the record of the other teams by win ning first place at the National Intercollegiate Crops Judging con test in Chicago and second place at the American Royal Livestock show. Members of the team were David McGill, Harold Schudel and Rundall Peterson with Theodore Johnston and Lawrence Treakle as alternates. Not at all overshadowed by the record of the other two squads was the livestock judging team which captured first place for teams at the American Royal Livestock show and second in the collegiate livestock judging con test held in connection with the International Livestock exposition at Chicago. Tom King, Paul Fid ler, James Sanders, Edward Zahm and Lawrence Biillcr with Rich ard Hougland as alternate made up the membership of this team. Poultry team places. Competing in the intercollegiate poultiy judging contest held dur ing the Intei national Live Stock exposition, Nebraska's poultry judging team placed seventh. Dean Edeal, Lloyd Schmadeke and Raymond Doyle were the team members coached by Professor H. E. Adler who traveled to Chicago for the exposition. The dairy products team and the dairy cattle judging teams complete the teams that com peted this year. The former en tered the national dairy products students contest held in connec- . tion with the meeting of the In- temational Milk Dealers and Ice Cream Manufacturers at Cleve land, while the latter competed in the National Dairy show at Co lumbus, Ohio. Cust odian of ag horses airs opinions on Nebraska's stock Yes, there are horses at the ag campus. "They're pretty fair horses, all the mares are register ed," according to "Arry" Birkett, who has been in charge of the horse barn or "building" as the ag students call it, since 1922. The barn may veil be called a building as it has a fine slate roof and red brick walls. Inside are cement feeding stalls and a show rink for the horses. "Arry," who is still hale, busy and voluble in spite of his 74 years, has been "with the horses" in Nebraska since 1888. Raised on a farm in England, he came to Nebraska to bring some English horses to the Lincoln Imported Horse company, which was his first Nebraskan employer. Showed horses in 1893 Fair. In 1893 Mr. Birkett showed some Lincoln owned gelts and colts at the first Chicago World's Fair. His showings won soms first and second prizes at the fair. "Arry" also used to show horses at the Fat Stock Show in Chicago. This show is now known as the Inter national Livestock Show. According to Mr. Birkett, horse shows in Nebraska are more nu merous now than they were 50 years ago and horse breeding is still a flourishing business in the state. In recent years one Boone county farm sold a prize stallion "back east" for $16,000. College owns expensive horses. A stallion sired by this expen sive Percheron and an imported Belgian mare, which was sold once for $3,500, are outstanding among the several prize winners which the ag college owns. These horses are used to farm 320 acres adjoin ing the ag college, to mow the college's grass, and to furnish practice for the prize winning ag horse judging teams. "Belgian and Percheron are now used most in Nebraska," says Arry commenting on horse breeds. "The Belgian- have been much improved in the last 50 years," he continued. "Tha Belgians used to be too heavy in the nack and front and too heavy behind. They used to say it was necessary to tie a rock on & Belgian to keep its hind quarters down when it ate. Now they are a pretty good breed." "Trucks are all right," he com mented, "they are handy to cart mares to market it. If we get more feed crops wewill have more horses and not so many tractors."
