The two-day . event will reflect
the growing interest in the turkey
business in Nebraska, Mussehl
says. In the past few years, the
production of turkeys has become
a profitable sideline for many Ne
braska farmers and it is destined
to continue to grow in importance
annually. Flocks over the state
vary in size from 500 to 15,000
bir.ls.
Numerous growers and poultry
s&horities are billed to speak on

Sunshine inspires hunt for

The sunshine brought out the hl-

Clare Gandon made his' 'debut"
under the table in Military Science
yesterday. Seems that as Clare
started to shout "Attention!" to
his classmates when Major Philp
walked into Artillery 147 his chair
deserted him and deposited him
underneath the table. The Major
quipped that he hadn't seen so
much action since last Saturday.
Wonder about what's happened
to Mylan Ross and the girl named
Stone. His frat brothers are re
minded of the old proverb, but
they say, "She doesn't gather
moss, only Ross."
AGR pledges made life miser
able for actives Monday night
when they sneaked out with the
food and such. Of course, the
actives had their turn, and Don
Sewell, pledge president, had to
do his bit by mowing the lawn at
three in the morning. Poor way
to sleep, that ....
Russ Stout proved a friend in
need the other day. Seems that
Geraldine Fouts hasn't ever been
on a farm, and, wanting to see
one now that she's going to Ag,
she wanted to make a tour of the
campus. Russ, who knows his
way 'round the campus, offered to
conduct her on a special trip. And
now she's a full fledged "farmer
ette." . . .
Bob Woods and Bernice West
have been making a go of it so
far this fall. No, they're just
sophomores, but they're making
it four or five times a week, it
seems. . . .
Pin hanging that caused sur
prise was that of Frank Shipman,

most history now is that of Pat
BoachelL Farmhouse, and Wanda
Shively. They made it a special
event, with cigars at Farmhouse,
and then passed the candy at the
Cafeteria club.
Dr. Rosenquist finally spotted a
freshman asleep among his 216
Botany 5 students yesterday. It
took two requests by the instruc

dent's next door neighbor, and a
trip by the offender to open the
windows before peace and quiet
were restored. . . . Sound sleepiner.
