A revamping of the Union food set-up.
which will include elimination of hot food
service in the Corn Crib and a five cent in
crease in the price of the regular 25 cent spec
ial, was announced yesterday by Union Direct
or Bill Marsh. The new set-up becomes effec
tive tomorow.
"The Corn Crib will specialize in grilled
foods rather than pre-prepared hots foods,"
Marsh declared, and pointed out that facili
ties in the cafeteria and the dining room had
been expanded to handle the influx of cus
tomers necessarily involved.
"In order to avoid the impresion that we
aren't going to have hamburgers, cube-steaks,
hot pork sandwiches, chile, soups, and the
like," stated Jim Englund, manager of the
grill, "we will. "We are going to eliminate the
main kitchen-prepared foods from the grill."
He emphasized the fact that he has "felt
for a long time that the facilities in the Corn
Crib were not adequate for hot food serv
ice," and added, "We're trying to make the
Crib a grill, not a restaurant."
Althougb the change-over has been antic
ipated for some time, according to Marsh, it
was necesary to wait until adequate facilities
had been added in the cafeteria. In addition to
stepping up the counter service, all overhead
lighting has been eliminated, with the only
lighting used shining on the food.
Prices Increase.
Commenting on the 5 cent increase in the
price of the specials, Miss Inez White, Union
foods director, declared, "The rising price of
foods has necessitated this change, and a prize
example of this price increase can be seen in
the fact that a ceiling was recently placed on
the price of pork, and other foods are going
almost equally high."
Citing two examples of this increase, Miss

Contracts

Approximately eighty percent of the students applying
for the advanced training will be issued contracts this spring,
according to the military department. k
Reasons, for such action is to save all eligible students from
the draft call during the summer months. Academic and mili
tary averages of the sophomores applying for the advanced
unit are being compiled and weighed now. Those who meet
with requirements will be given physicals for the advanced
unit, and pending their passage, will be given contracts. Exact
number of juniors taking drill next fall is not certain, nor will
those accepted be known until sometime in May. according to
the military department.

Play Contest
Kurt Porjesz, only student to
place, won the first prize of $10
in the Original Three-act Play
Contest, sponsored annually by
the Student Union and the Depart
ment of Speech, with his entry,

is whether or not a particular
murder is accidental. The plot is
worked out in the marital relations
of a bartender and his wife, whose
brother has committed a murder,
which may or may not be accl
dental.
Second and third placings in the
contest which was open to anyone
interested went respectively to
Mr. 'Arthur Baily, secretary of
the junior chamber of commerce,
and Mr. Richard Mahan, teacher
in Sumner, Neb. For his play en

was awarded $7.50, and Mr. Mah

"This same procedure was prac-
tised last spring in several in
stances where students who were
eligible for the advanced corps
were given contracts in the spring
to exempt them from possible
draft call during the summer
months." explained Col. Charles A.
Thuis. This year, however, all eli
gible students willl be issued
contracts, with the department
withholding a few contracts for
students not in school this year,
but eligible for advanced drill up
on returning, according to the
Colonel.
Joe Stalin, the ('oinn.u.rst, may find himself a defender of
capitalism, and Stalin, the atheist, may be the defender of
Christendom, if the war ends with the present Imted Nations
victorious.
That is the way Dean John D. Clark of the biz ad college,
described "that strange chaiacter heading the Hussian govern
ment" to the crowd which filled the Union ballroom yesterday
afternoon for the "America and World War 11" lecture scries.
Dean Clark predicted that Americans and Englishmen who
have idealistic peace proposals following the war will have little
to .say if success come on the Kussian front due to the works
of liussiiau soldiers, which is very likely the case.
Parade thru Berlin.
"Stalin and his troops will parade thru Berlin while every
bodv of every Nazi that can be found will be hung in the streets
as decorations. He'll tear up Germany into so many pieces that
our grandchildren will never see her united again."
Dean Clark said that former ambassador to Germany, Jo
seph Davies, was right when he recently implied that Stalin
has agreed to stick with us all of the way in thia war. It will
be too bad if Russia doesn't, Dean Clark commented.

Nebraska Farmers Hold
30th Feeders Day at Ac
BY RANDALL PRATT.
Not only does the ag college
teach students improved methods
of agriculture, but also the farm
ers themselves.
For the past 30 years, a day
has been set aside in the spring
for an airing of new methods of
feeding. This day appropriately
enough, is called "Feeders Day."
Henry Kugler of Lexington and
Herbert Albers of Wisner, two
well known Nebraska stockmen,
along with Mrs. E. E. Hartz, Lan
caster county farm housewife;
L. E. Hawkins, agricultural com
missioner .for the Kansas City
chamber of commerce, and Miss
Reba Staggs of the National Live
stock and Meat Board, will head
the list of the speakers for the
day.
Programs Begin at 9:15.
The programs for both the men
and women's sections are to start
at 9:15 a. m., and plans arc to
adjourn at 3:30 p. m. which should
allow ample time for all or most
of the homeward drives for those
who come from considerable dis
tances. Prof. Wm. J. Locffcl,
chairman of the animal husbandry
department, states that no spe
cial invitations are being sent out
this year, due to need for econ
omizing on paper, envelopes, and
other material. However, he em
phasizes that the college will wel
come all Nebraskans as cordially
as ever.
Marvel Baker, professor of ani
mal husbandry, will report on
cattle feeding experimental work
now under way. One study con
cerns barley bloat, with barley fed
whole, coarse ground, finely
erround. and mixed with silage.
Another study concerns the feed
ing of different amounts of alfalfa ,
