thrown open for public inspection.
At 4:30 the annual presentation
of the Goddess of Agriculture will
be made in the college activities
building, and at 7 o'clock a com
munity sing will be held.
Features Exhibits.
Heart of the open house will be
the student exhibits which will
cover a cross-section of classroom
activities on the campus and will
attempt to give visitors a com
posite view of the type of work
covered in the fields of home eco
nomics and agriculture.
Student guides will be on hand
in all of the buildings to explain
exhibits and direct the guests.
Maps of the campus have been
prepared for distribution, and
signs and an information bootn
will enable visitors to find their
wy to points of interest.
Because of the small number of
men on the campus, agricultural
exhibits will of necessity be simple
but will, nevertheless, cover "the
most outstanding work being done I

dairy cattle will be on display as I

some difficulty last year in col

stores, it was suggested earlier
that the council procure written
contracts or documents from the

motion that the council submit a
contract to the bookstores that
would insure the Foundation of
receiving its commission of 12 'a

There was discussion concern

said that he thought that Lincoln

have the busncss, which n mo

select an organized campus group
