Other business taken up at the
meeting was the discussion of the
details of the show. It was decided
that Joe Watson would judge the
Ak-Sar-Ben. Watson is the pres
ent president of the State Agrl

the ag college.
With the critical condition of
farm labor, it seems more than
likely that more boys from this
campus will be journeying home to
help their parents on the farm
come May . 24 than have in the
past. Many of these students who
have stayed in Lincoln during the
previous summer now find It nec
essary to go home because their
brothers - have been drafted into
our defense program.
This problem will undoubtedly
be one that affects the agricultural
industry and one that is going to
require the aid of every able bodied
man,.
