Farm Magazine
Stresses Need
For Education
"Is college practical is the title
of the feature on the relative
merits of education for farming
which appears in the October is
sue of Successful Farming, pop
ular rural magazine.
Betty Camp, editorial assistant
of the magazine, wrote the article
after a visit to Ag campus last
spring. Complete with pictures,
the story is another in a series
which has to do with college edu
cation for a farming career.
Miss Camp used for concrete
examples two students enrolled
in the college and followed them
through a day's activities on the
campus. Her subjects were Fresh
men Maurine Steyer, of Exeter
and Norman Reynolds, of Lex
ington. In the story. Miss Camp gives
her readers a fairly complete idea
of life on the Ag campus. Vari
ous departments are reviewed, in
cluding both Ag and Home Ec
courses. Timely shots of Norm
&nd Maurine doing typical cam
pus activities add to the attrac
tiveness of the feature.
Miss Camp concludes that while
college is not the answer for every
farmer, many benefits are to be
derived . from attending an ag
school such as Nebraska's in the
way of making farming a more
enjoyable profession and the
farmer a better informed indi

Early Student Unions Started
As Men's Debating Groups
The student union of today is
a far cry from the first union of
the nineteenth century.
Student unions started primarily
as debating groups in England. A
short time later. Harvard set up a
student union, the first one in the
United States. In the late 80's
these unions were used as clubs
and had expanded to include
Brown University and Ohio State.
The clubs were for men students
only.
Now the unions have become a
community recreational center for
all students matriculated in the
university or college. In 1940 there
were 14o college union buildings.
Convention.
The Association of College
Unions gives national scope to
college unions. The Association has
officers and holds annual conven
tion meetings. It provides a con
sulting architect to schools plan
ning unions. This avoids "million
dollar mistakes" made when
unions have been planned and
built without assistance from a
competent architect. An exhaus
tive research is carried on by these
architects in New York.
At Nebraska, election to the
union board presupposes familiar
ity with college unions. Each board
member is chairman of a certain
phase of the work and has assist-
ants under him. Students aid in
the direction of the union and are
