'Promising Future' Label
Placed on Oil
University chemurgy depart
ment has pasted a "promising fu
ture" label on sesame, an oil seed
crop, for Nebraska agriculture.
Dr. E. V. Staker, chemurgy de
partment agronomist, described
three major results of a five year
breeding program to adapt this
highly drouth resistant crop to
Nebraska's soil and climate. They
were:
(1) Eight varieties have been
developed which produced an av
erage of 869 pounds of seed per
acre in 1947. One variety yielded
1022 pounds. The average yield
dustry depends on foreign imports
for most of its sesame oil at pres
ent. for the group is well above the
U. S. average.
Yield Above Average.

Stassen Policy
On U.S. Issues
Held 'Positive'
Stassen is no Mr. In-Between.
So declared Bernhard W. Le
Vander, state chairman of the Re
publican central commitee and
campaign manager of Harold
Stassen, as he spoke before the
Stassen-for-President Club at the
Y.M.C.A. building Tuesday night.
Discussing the program and
possibilities of the Republican
party and Harold Stassen in 1948,
Mr. LeVander epitomized his re
marks with the words of a popu
lar song "Accentuate the positive,
eliminate the negative, latch on to
the affirmative, don't mess with
Mr. In-Between."
In other words, the youthful
campaign manager explained, the
Republican party must present a
positive program, eliminate their
negative approach to crucial prob
lems, bring about a definite af
firmative program, and avoid the
wishy-washy politics of the Mr.
In-Between.
Stassen Qualified.
The speaker discussed the Quali
fications of Stassen which would
enable him to carry through suc
cessfully such a Republican pro
gram. He declared, "Stassen has
always stood for a clearly de
fined program."
"Stassen's work in Minnesota,"
g he explained further," proves that
this presidential candidate is a
man of action." He pointed out
that Stassen has always stood for
"constructive opposition."
Possibilities In 1948.
In discussing Stassen's pos
sibilites for 1948, the state repub
lican leader said, "Stassen has a
demonstrated strength with the
people. But this strength must be
translated into party action by
individual supporters."
Student Council
The Student Council will
not meet Wednesday after
noon. The next meeting will
be held Wednesday, March 31,
according to Harold Mozer,
president.
Ag Round-Up
Slated April 2
An all Ag get-together, will be
held at the Ag Union Friday,
April 2, from 8:30 to 11:30 p.m.,
according to Ivan Liljegren, en
tertainment committee head.
A bobby-sox affair, the get-together
is planned to be similar to
Unionizers on city campus. ' Stu
dents may come stag or with
dates. Records will furnish the
music and surprise entertainment
has been planned by the commit
tee. The entire Ag Union will be
open, including the Dell, card
room, and the music room. No
admission will be charged. The af
fair is open to all university stu
dents and their dates. i
Headed by Liljegren, the Ag
Union general entertainment com
mittee is composed of Neil Miller,
sponsor, Sue Bjorklund, Don
Smith, Keith Kcgley and Jim
Lutes. H ' 1

Seed Crop
varieties averaged more than 50
per cent oil content, also above
the national average.
(3) The Nebraska varieties test
high enough in protein content to
make sesame meal equal to cot
tonseed as a livestock feeding
supplement.
Chief problem' fn the breeding
program, Dr. Staker said, is de
velopment of a sesame variety
with non-shattering pods. This
may be achieved "within a few
years," he said. It will permit
harvesting sesame with combines.
Sesame must now be cut with
binders. The crop matures in a
shock and then is combined for
the seed.
Brings 12-13 Cents.
Sesame is a row crop which
currently brings a price of 12 to
13 cents a-pound. The chemurgy
department has seed available for
only experimental work in 1948.
Sesame is not grown commercially
in Nebraska at present.
The oil seed crop is used for
flavoring baked goods and con
fections, for salad and cooking
oils, for use in making lard sub
stitutes, and as a "carrier" for
penicillin and other medicinal
products. The stalk of the plant
can be made into paper.
Notice to
Veterans
No books or supplies for the
current semester will be issued
to veterans at government ex
pense after Saturday,. April 10.
Because of the time involved
in gathering together all
charges from the several stores
for such books and supplies,
which in turn causes a delay
in billing the Veterans Admin
istration and in being reim
bursed therefor, the University
has found it necessary to es
tablish this deadline.
Books which are on order
and which, therefore, may not
be available at the bookstores
until after April 10th, may be
obtained after that date pro
vided the veterans who are
authorized to obtain such
books report to the store be
fore April 10 and sign a charge
ticket in advance. The store
may then issue a due bill or
make some such record so that
the veteran may obtain his
book after April 10, the ex
piration date.
Veterans who will graduate
at the end of the present se
mester should retain their Pur
chase Authorizations after
April 10 for the purpose of
renting caps and gowns for
commencement exercises.
Veterans in the Graduate
College who will receive their
degrees at the close of the
present semester and who find
it necessary to obtain research
or thesis supplies after April
10, 1948, should pay for the
same and take cash receipts.
These receipts, together with
their claim for thesis typing,
should be filed in the office of
the Veterans Consultation
Board on or before June 5,
1948. Veterans in the Graduate
College who will not receive
their degrees at the close of
the present semester must ob
tain necessary supplies on or
before April 10, as indicated
above.
