The student body of Ag College will have its first opportunity to contribute to the War Scholarship Fund, Friday evening. The occa sion will be a juke box dance, which will be 20c per person. The proceeds gained at this occasion will make up a portion of the amount to be given to the scholar ship fund. State Home Economics meeting will be held Saturday, February 13, 1943. It is the twenty-eighth annual meeting of the Nebraska Home Economics Association. After registration and business meeting, Louise B. Enochs, in structor of textiles and clothing at the Kearney State Teachers Col lege, will talk on "The College and High School Girl, the War, and Her Clothes." The Student Club luncheon will be held at the Student Union at 12:30. Musical numbers and a Round Table Discussion on "What Can We Do to Aid in the War Time Effort?" will follow. Stu dents wishing to attend the lun cheon should sign up in the Home Ec Building. Every Tuesday evening at 7:30 8:30 there is a co-recreational pro gram in the Activities Building. This program has been instigated because the Physical Education In structors felt there was a need for more social activities on this campus. Everyone is urged to participate in these activities and it is sincerely hoped that this will be a success. Last night the program was square dancing with Ralph Copen haver calling. Next Tuesday night will be group games and mixers. There will also be badminton, shuffle board, table tennis, table croquet, and volley ball. . Another item of particular in terest to all ag students is the weekly matinee dance. The dance is held every Thursday from 5:30-6:30. 'Wether Ewe Knew It or Not9 People in New York City think of Nebraska as a sheep raising state. Why? Because they eat more of the delicious lamb pro duced in the state than do Ne braskans themselves. Few people realize it, but Nebraska ranks eecond among all the states in the Union in the marketing of fat lambs. The lamb feeding that is carried on during the winter months in the Platte valley is the reason for this. The greatest portion of the Ne braska income from sheep comes fiom the fattening of western feeder lambs. The farmers of the Platte valley must raise alfalfa to maintain the fertility of their soil, and they find that one of the best ways of marketing this crop is by feeding it to lambs. The lambs are brought from the range areas of Montana, Wyoming, and other western states in Sep tember and October when they are placed on the feed lot. They are fed for 75 to 120 days with an increase in weight of 25 to 50 pounds. Under the direction of M. A. Alexander, the university has been running feeding tests for several years to determine the best feeds for the lambs. The most important fact that the tests last year re vealed was that either alfalfa hay or yellow corn is almost essen tial in the ration. In lots where no yellow corn nor alfalfa was fed, the death loss from urinary calculi, a dis ease of wether lambs, was as high as 58 percent, while in lots that were fed rations that included both yellow corn and alfalfa there was no death loss at all. Nearly all of Nebraska's lambs go to the New York market, where the meat usually sells at a higher price than either beef or pork. Easterners like lamb and know how to buy it. Most people in Nebraska don't eat much lamb because they do not know how to buy the best. They ask for mutton instead of lamb and that is just what thoy get mutton of poor quality, stringy, tough, and tallowy. If they would try lamb they would be surprised to find that it is about the best meat money can buy. If it isn't, a lot of Now York ers are being badly fooled. 1 4'NJ ) ft "V ELVIN F.

This same feat was undertaken with much vim and vigor last se mester but after very little suc cess, was abandoned. This time it is here to stay for with a few very ambitious reporters working to cover news on this campus and with their determination, it's bound to be a success. It will be the purpose and aim of the reporters who work to make this page possible to cover the news as efficiently as possible and to bring that news to your atten tion. We will not only attempt to give you the student activities on this campus but will attempt to cover the other two branches of the Agricultural college as well. From time to time we will give you the results of the vast experi mentation and research work be ing carried on here in Lincoln and also in the outlying stations. An office has been sent up for the Ag campus staff in room 301, Ag Hall, and the office will be open on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons. At this time either Dale Wolf or Duane Munter will be there to take any news you may have for this page. The staff at the present time is small but as time goes on it is hoped it may be enlarged. If you are interested in writing, now is the time to get started, and you may do this by contacting either Ralph Reeder or Dale Wolf. Those reporters who have aided greatly in the gathering of this news are Harriet Gartner, Jean Thraillkill, Hope Hamilton. Fran cis Hart, Dale Brockemeier, and Dave Work.

Mr. Arndt, with a sneer on his face, loves this one. Joke: I like an exam I think they're fun I never cram. I never flunk one (I'm the professor.) End of Joke Time now for the new pledges both male and female. Theta Xi tops the list with five new pledges. Four men and a mascot. The boys: Myron Anderson, Ray Brodahl, Wayne Bollmeier, and Ed Karkel road. The mascot is Tx presum ably so named to keep the name of Theta Xi going while the boys are off in uniform. At the Pi Phi house Doris Ann Stoddard has entered her bid for an arrow while Eva Spelts has pledged Alpha Phi. Eva has quite a start on the campus already. She is an Ak-Sar-Ben countess, dances well, scores way above most women in her ability to listen quietly when with a crowd. She has been seen regularly with Sig ma Chi John Dale, who now an swers to the name of Count Von Dale, or Count, or just "Hey, you." Subtle crack of the week oc curred in a conversation between a Sigma Alph and a Beta. Sig Alph: "Is this a picture of your girl?" Beta: "Yes, it is." Sig Alph: "She must be very rich." Listen carefully and you can hear today's favorite song coming from every house on the campus: "Off We Go Into the Wild Yon der." You know I've seen little people and I've seen people that were cute; but I've never seen two peo ple who, at the same time, are cuter . and smaller than Dee, De putron, DU. and Margaret An drews, Alpha Chi. Look twice in a booth at the Cornhusker soma night and you'll probably see these two who are a perfect couple. Look twice cause you'll look right over them the first time. Dee, a good man, despite the fact that he has to be staked down in a high wind, duly impresses Marg, who is a good judge of men. Talk about dumb sayings. How about this one ? Silas Clam Lies on the floor He tried to ,slam A revolving door. Don't shoot. I'm sorry but things like that just sneak up on a guy. This one got too good a start though! , Flash: Ann Scha.um. just called. Says maybe you'd like to know that Don James is going around asking . for congratulations cause he's going steady with Marge Heyn. Okay, congratulations. Don. Make room now for the sorority girl's prayer, If the face in the glass Really looks like me Then God grant that I may have personality. Official news from the Ag cam pus has it that Ruben Heermann FH has placed his pin upon Bar bara Townsend at the DG house. Well, I've got one poem left that is at least as dumb as the one that I started with. Here goes: Some girls smile in the evening Some girls smile at dawn But the girl worthwhile Is the one who can smile When her two front teeth are gone. I'll do better next time. ft 'W iilpBI llSiipl ,t -iL. s-; r"-mrnfrTn wwiirtiiiimiiiwMiiiiiiwiiiiiii i ran' iiTumira iiin mmummmm t ; f i 1 J V J 4 C'urtMy Lincoln Star.

Jack Seitz Clarke, son of Mrs. Jasper Clarke at high noon Sunday at St. Mary's cathedral. Msgr. C. J. Riordan officiated at the single ring ceremony in the presence of 300 guests. Miss Marjorie Clark, twin sis ter of the bride, served as maid of honor. She was dressed in a gown of white organza and carried white 'Murder j She Says As Shoes Are Added to Rationed List A scream. Murder, no doubt. We rush out in the hall and someone skids up yelling, ."No shoes! Sugar, coffee, and now shoes!" After ty ing Mabel to the towel rack and throwing cold water in her faca she gurgled, ' Shoes are rationed. Six shoes a year. That's three pairs. Effective immediately. And me with only 39 pairs on me closet rack." So then we start wondering just what kind of shoes our feath-r-cutcd and feather-brained little coeds would buy after the follow ing morning.

"Well, first, I'm going to have my spectators renovated. There will be a line a mile long later." "I'm going to get a pair of mhool nhoes now, while they're still making them out of "good Btuff, and I can still get saddles." "iNcw Easter shoes will take my first ticket. I'd sort of like to get th.-ni right away, because I've heard they'll be more expensive later on." Goodlo'.king Dren Shoes. "My Hchool Hhoes are still good, and I have some fairly new wports HhocH, so my aim is to get some good-looking dress shoes to do ine for the duration." "I'm h sad woman. I was one of those who put off getting a pair f shoes 1 have to have until this week. So now I've decided I don't have to have them after all." All in all, the coeds probably won't be barefooting it for awhile. Most of them have enough shoes now to start up in business, and the three pairs allotted will be used more as a morale booster than as a means of keeping the bare tootsies off the ground. All Colleges . . . (Continued from Page 1.) the two previous semesters, the current report indicates a rapid decline in student enrollment at Nebraska. Hinge Upon Government. Whether or not the enrollment will continue to decline at this rapid pace, will hinge upon the government's action toward re serves and the activities of the present manpower commission un der Paul V. McNutt. Apparent ly the numerous reserves that were opened to college students lust spring served successfully as artificial props in ntaving off the drop in enrollment for one semes ter. However, the present imstability of the reserves, and mule college students in general has apparently influenced many to lay out of school und awnit their chII to ac tion. Justification of this action cannot and probably will not be determined until this war is over. Solving that problem has fared mule students since the United States entered the war.

The flowers she carried were deep pink snap dragons. Wears White Faille. The bride wore a gown of white faille, made with a full skirt of tulle. Her fingertip length veil fell from a coronet of ostrich tips. Richard Gellatly was the best man and Louis Lehr, Ren Buka cek, William Flory and Reed Smith acted as ushers. The ring was carried in a calla lily by Joe Clark, brother of the bride. Miss Mary Claire Clark, sister of the bride, played the organ. To Live in California. Following the ceremony a re ception was held at the home of the bride. The bride's table hH.s a Venetian glass centerpiece filled with white roses and sweetpeas, and the wedding cake, topped with a miniature bride and bridegroom, was placed at one end of the table. Lieutenant and Mrs. Clarke will live at McClellan Field, Sacra mento, California. Both ftrr.ier University of Nebraska students, Mrs. Clarke is a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma and Lt.
