Farm Problem
Is Discussed
By Economist
Members of the extension divi
sion and the college of agricul
ture of the university Tuesday
heard Mordacai Ezckiel, economic
advisor to Secretary ofAgricul
ture Claude R. Wickard. speak on
the farm problem. Mr. Ezekiel
explained to the group that the
present farm problem is caused
by the buying power of the cities
He said that early post-war
days will demand great expansion
of the agricultural production. He
presented suggestions for post
war adjustments, which can be
applied by ag students to produce
more food.
Mr. Ezekiel said that if each
nation could eventually provide
the products for world trade which
it can produce most efficiently,
there will be a higher standard
of living for the entire world.
After Mr. Ezekiel's talk, the
dates for the annual extension
service conference. January 4 to
7, were announced.
Frosh Convo
The time for the annual
freshman convocation today
has been changed to 4 p . m.
The convocation proper will be
gin at that time. There will be,
however, a parade and rally
preceding the convocation at
3:30 at Temple. The freshman
band and members of Tassels
will lead the parade, The fresh

university will bo administered

the campus invasion came a long
line of itching, coughing, blowing
and wheezing "GI Joes" for whom
it has long ceased to be a matter
of ladling out some "blue-plate
special" like "C. C.s," as each
quarter hour spent in compound

least doubled by "biz-ad" work
necessary to keep Secretary Stim

also the detail of splitting the
secretary's money seven ways and
putting down for his agents to see

BOTC Band
Bows to War;
Coeds March
Even the university R.O.T.C.
band has had to yield to the exi
gencies of war, it was revealed
today by Col. J. P. Murphey. This
year there will be coeds in the
marching band, and freshmen will
be eligible to play in it. Both of
these features are inovations. In
previous years, girls have piayea
in the band at concerts, but have
not been allowed to march.
This year the R.O.T.C. has
dwindled and soldiers in the li
brary are not allowed to play.
Miiltary might yielded to feminine
appeal, and women were the
answer to the problem. The only
catch was the uniforms. Half
pants, half skirts was undesirable,
so it was decided the girls must
also wear pants as R.O.T.C.'ers do
not look like soldiers, by any
stretch of the imagination, with
18 inches of bare leg tramping
along.
After various people were con
vinced of the urgency of the situa
tion, plans were formulated for an
80-piece band in pants. Don L.
Lantz will direct this university
band, which will be almost as
large as last year. And just to!
