ON AG CAMPUS
Comhusker Countryman Will Resume
Publication With New March Issue
v Marianne Srb and James Sears
were appointed editor and man
aging editor of the Cornhusker
Countryman, ag college student
publication, which will make its
reappearance on the campus in
March.
Other staff members appointed
by the Ag Student Publication
Committee are: Paul Eveland,
business manager; Lois Thorfinn-
son, home economics editor;
Duane Munter, circulation man
ager.
Interest in reviving the maga
zine was shown last spring but
printing difficulties and lack of
funds and staff writers prevented
publication. Last fall thirty inter
ested students attended a meeting
called by Margaret Ann Tripp, ag
sophomore, to investigate possibil
ities of resuming publication. After
a favorable report, applications
were called for and the Ag-Stu-
dent Publications Committee se
lected staff members. ,
The Countryman, a monthly
magazine, first published in 1921,1
was a wartime casualty in 1942,
The publication has been import
ant in upholding and passing on
the traditions of ag campus, re
porting latest research develop
ments, and in improving student
faculty relationships. Primarily a
magazine interested in agriculture
and home economics, the Country
man has had wide distribution
among ag students, faculty.
alumni, rural high schools, and
people interested in agriculture.
Srb, in announcing the new edi
torial policies, promises to keep
the Countryman from becominng
just another college magazine."
Liberal use of photography and a
different style of writing add to
its appeal. This year s Country
man will endeavor to cover stu
dent activities, research develop
ments, important alumni activities
and other items of lasting interest.
Dean Burr, in making funds
and office equipment available
for the magazine, said "Faculty
members are glad to have stu-

dents enthusiastic about the Coun
tryman. It has always con
tributed much to the campus.
The Col-Agri-Fun and Ag Exec
Boards, have helped to put the
publication on a sound financial
basis by their contributions. Na
tional and local advertising plus
subscriptions are expected to meet
the financial requirements.
Subscriptions can be obtained
from staff members and sales
booths in Ag Hall and the Ag
union according to Duane Munter,
in charge of circulation. Subscrip
tion prices will be 50 cents for
