Wednesday, March 17, 1948 PAGE 2 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN NEEDLES IN THE HAYSTACK BY LOUISE M'DILL. When the traditional alarm clock goes off promptly at 8:00 p. m. Saturday night in" the 4-H Club arena at the Fair Grounds, the 14th Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben will begin. With all the glitter and color of a "big-time stock show, the students of Ag college will present their own annual com petition in animal showmanship. 12 Classes Included. Complete with 12 classes In showmanship, rid ing and Jumping, the Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben is com parable to the Omaha version of the show in more ways than the name. Over a hundred head f livestock will be shown by students in the various classes of beef and dairy cattle, horses, swine, and sheep showing and fitting. Special features this year are the horsemanship events: the coed riding contests, the jumping contest, and the invitational thee gaited class. A capable man from the livestock center tn Omaha, Ed Janike, will be the guest judre for the show and he will choose the winner of the biff est honor of the show the grand champion of all events. Two men from the Omaha Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben will be on hand to present the various ribbons and trophies. Showman from Germany Showmen for the 1948 Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben show come from all over the country. Maria Leipelt, a refugee student from Hamburg, Germany, is the participant in the contest who is farthest from home. Miss Liepelt is the only girl to enter the showing and fitting contest of horses class. Most other out of state showmen come from neighboring states, but a few are from such far states as New York, Texas, and Indiana. During the 14 years of past presentation, the Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben has always been held in tha Horse Barn arena at Ag College. Nearly always, however, the success of the show has been lim ited due to the small space afforded the show in the barn. This year, since the Block and Bridle Club, sponsors of the show, have obtained the arena at the Fair Grounds, the show should be the biggest and "bestest" Ag college' has ever seen. Defeated to Burrs. And there is rood reason to make this the best show ever, for this year's Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben Is being dedicated to Dean W. XV. Burr and his wife for their long and faithful service to the Ag college and to Nebraska agriculture. After 40 years of being associated with the Ag college. Dean Burr is retiring this fall. All university students are invited to the show. With the amount of work 'and planning that has gone into the show, it should be well worth anyone's time to go see it. c LETTERIP r TJtr. Miller! Enclosed is an article from Northwestern Uni versity's paper which I thought clever and worth publishing in our paper if it is possiDie to ao so PUBLIC OCCURRENCES by Allen F. Paul. College professors .like Republicans, marathon dancers and people who collect snrunKen neaas, are a fascinating and motley aggregation oi roe ings. The Drofessors' abnormal cavortings are especl ally in evidence at the present time of the school rear. , Namely, the time for final examinations. It Is at this period of the school year, as you stu dents well know, that the uncomfortable, loath some academic disease Essay-Questionitis breaks out admist the professional tribe. Amonr other things, In manifestations of the disease, these professors badrer their wives, bay at full moons, fumble through pagan rituals and of course, make out "essay Questions." Because there is no serum or medicinal defense against this scholastic evil, this column has de cided upon the next best answer. To wit: It will publish representative questions from different subjects that way, at least, preparing the un vaccinated students to meet the onslaught of "es say questions.' ALL THE QUESTIONS PRINTED HEREIN WERE TAKEN FROM PROFESSORS' ABSENCES, TOO, THE QUESTIONS ARE NOT THOSE OF SPECIFIC CLASSES. ONLY ENTIRE SUBJECT ARE INCLUDED. IT IS THE BEST THIS COL UMN COULD DO. Stealing exam questions, as you probably know is risky, dangerous business. HISTORY: Trace the historv of the human raro up to 9:30 a. m. today. Include everything, of course, uui De Driei. unis is not a generalized question. PSYCHOLOGY: What did Siemund Frond have on his mind? Don't answer sex. It will be considered wrong. Be brief. This isn't an essay question. ENGLISH: Show how Emerson and Chaucer differed on the nominative absolute. Also trace literature, beginning with Beowulf. Be brief. SOCIOLOGY: Why do people commit crimes? now many bath tubs in New Delhi? Don't be wordy. POLITICAL SCIENCE: Detail the political philosophies of the world's 2,345 greatest political leaders, ne Drier. PHYSICS: Exdain the deficients In io ory of relativity. Not understanding the theory is no excuse for not answering. Don't write more man one Diue book page." Sincerely yours.

'ixwln Caeaaa Get In Practice . . . University students will vote if they are sufficiently inter ested in the issue at stake. This fact was definitely established at Tuesday's election on the NSA proposal. The turnout at the city campus and ag campus polling places eclipsed all previous campus voting records. An . unofficial esti mate of the total votes cast put the number of voters at nearly 25 percent of the student body. The previous high had been ap proximately a 20 percent turnout at last spring's campus eleo tion. Whether the same interest will be shown in the approaching spring elections is questionable. But in any event, some univer sity students probably cast their first ballot in a school election. The opportunity could not have come at a better time. With state primaries and the campus spring elections at hand, the vot ing habit is worth cultivating. We hope the same interest will extend to these later elections.
