Block, Bridle Club Plans
AK Showmanship Contest
The Block and Bridle club will
soon take it first big step toward
the organization of the Junior Ak-Sar-Ben
showmanship contest. The
drawing of animals for showing at
the contest will take place Friday
in room 201, animal husbandry
building.
Students have a choice of what
breed of animals they choose. For
example, they might want to show
a steer; they may show a Here
ford, Angus. Shorthorn or any of
the other breeds available at the
college. The college furnishes the
animals. The students groom and
show the livestock that they have
picked.
The showmanship contest is
scheduled for March 21. This is
one of the big colorful events on
ag campus during the year and is
normally well attended. The night
preceding the contest is the Junior
Ak-Sar-Ben ball. Last year Raiph
Slade and his orchestra played for
the event.
An "all-out" drive on a three
point educational program tied in
directly with the war effort is now
in progress all over Nebraska.
Specialists from the ag college ex
tension service went into the field
the first of the week to help county
extension agents put the drive into
operation. Increased 4-H club en
rollment, the Nebraska victory
home and garden program and the
Nebraska pasture-forage-livestock
program make up the three things
which will receive all attention for
the duration of the war.
Director W. H. Brokaw said the
specialists will work in the field
with county agents during the pro
duction season. They are confer
ring there not only with county
extension agents Dut also with
representatives of the USDA war
boards and other agricultural and
civic agencies in putting the three
point program into active operation.

"Oh, no, not that" seemed to be
the consensus of the male opinion
on Nebraska campus when queried
as to the desirability of women
forsaking all cosmetics on behalf
of our country and national de

With the rumor circulating thai

"They sure would look ghastly."
Essence of frankness was Fritz

to have to look at them," and
Maurice Dingwell added "Where

was Bill Marsh, who philosophical

"No corsages, please!"
That was the ruling made by
Panhellenic and Interf raternity
Council heads yesterday as they
requested men going to the Inter
fraternity Ball Friday night not to
send flowers to their dates.
Although several organized
houses have done away with
flowers at their dances earlier in
the year, yesterday's ruling makes
the I-F ball the first large univer
sity party to do away with cor
sages. Recognize Emergency.
Reason for the action, "was the
desire of the Council to resognize
the present war emergency and to
keep down all extra expenses so
that students can join the rest of
the nation in going all-out for the
war effort."
