We have now entered that gracious time of the year known as Lent. What is Lent? It has been called the gateway to Easter. Is it merely that? Is it only a preparation for something else? Is it just a span of days, however closely those days may be connected with life's supreme triumph ? Is it merely a period of preparation through acts of self-denial ? Is that all? No, Lent is more, and what more the very word itself tells us, for the old Anglo-Saxon word, Lenct, means spring. What is Lent? Lent is in truth a spiritual spring. Any sensitive person knows that the soul of man has seasonal cycles; seasons of bleakness, of barrenness, of cold dark ness; seasons of renewing of fruitfulness, of warming hope. We need spring now, just when it seems that winter has settled with frightening permanence on the life of us all. Lent is the season of repentance, when ploughshares go deep in the soil, breaking furrows to receive new seed. Lent is the season of decision, when fields are planted. Lenttis the season of awakening, when the sun breaks through leaden skies, calling forth to new life the sleeping seeds of goodness. Lent is at least this. And if we would have it so, by the plentiful provision of the Christian gospel, it can mean so much more even the spiritual renasissance for which the whole world is yearning. We have entered again this gracious period. We urge you to survey carefully your devotional life, your church attendance, indeed every approach to this appealing period, that you might find guidance into and through it. A Job for Sampson . . . One of the biggest jobs on campus, whether or not stu dents in general are aware of its importance, is now in the hands of Miss Eugenie Sampson, newly elected president of the Student Foundation. As explained to us, the Student Foundation serves two basic purposes: 1) publicizing the University to high school students and encouraging them to attend the U. of N. afto they have completed their high school work, and 2) pi' moting a spirit of loyalty to the University among students who are presently enrolled. These aims are broad and require time, organization, talent, imagination and a lot of plain hard work to carry them out. The Student Foundation is responsible for put ting out the Student Directory, a University calendar book let and a newspaper which is sent to the high schools with news of University life. In addition, it sponsors parties and tours of the U. for high school students when they are on the campus. In its first purpose, we feel that the Foundation has succeeded Results are difficult to ascertain since one can never know how much Student Foundation work has influ enced high school students in their selection of college. However, from observing the reception given high school students by the Foundation when they are on the campus, we would say that these students must certainly develop a good attitude toward the University, at least in regards to its hospitality. In its second aim promoting a spirit of loyalty on the campus we cannot see any concrete evidence that the Foundation has succeeded in this field. Accomplishing this aim, we realize, is an extremely difficult one. But the future looks bright. Having observed Miss Sampson's work in activities for the past three years, we feel that she has the leadership, the imagination and, what is most important, the will for progress and improvement to lead the Foundation to success in its basic aims. To Miss Sampson, we say congratulations and good luck. We would also like to state that The Daily Nebraskan would like to assist the Foundation where and whenever it can in accomplishing its aim of promoting a spirit of loyalty to the University. We would like to make it one of our aims, too. . hv Rv w KiimIb T...t......-i... w....-....

(Ey Professor Harold Larrabee, quoted from the Associated Col lege feature service.) Juniors Pursue Masters Degrees At American U. American University (Washing ton, D. C.) will offer with the fall session of 1949 a three-year study sequence by which students entering the junior class may pur sue work toward the Master of Arts degree. At the beginning of the junior fear the student declares his in tention of pursuing the three year sequence to the Master's Degree and selects the fields in which he proposes to take the comprhensive examinations. He also arranges elective courses which supplement the require ments for the undergraduate ma jor and looks forward to the writ ing of a thesis NU Bulletin Board Professor Karl Arndt will be interviewed by radio student John Carson on "Meet the Pro fessor" at 4:30 p. m. on KOLN.

Alpha Kappa Psi luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce, 12 noon. Sale list a few saving J Prom night is over and with it the reign of Queen Dorothy Bor gens and King Buz Powley. Thanks to a discriminating ap plause meter, the two stepped through the arch to dance the spe cial dance with dates Bob Hunt and Betty Canary. The prom drew a record crowd in fact, one crazed dancer was heard violently comparing the Coliseum with a "Snake Tit." But the setting was termed "just right" for the initial date of Pat Hintz and Irv Chesen. "Ches" made the big impression by gallantly so liciting Tex Beneke's autograph. Susie "I'm Just a Gal Who Can't Say No" Reed was voted "Life of the Party" at the Kappa formal Friday. And another campus Kins made his debut. Ted Gundcrson was elected "Key King," but was slightly disappointed when he wasn't awarded a key to the Kappa house. Susie Peeha. Phil Campbell, Jan Johnosn and Marilyn Beyer went into training Friday night. Yes, the girls are going out for track and basketball and started right by entertaining the Oklahoma team. 'Twas date-dinnering Sunday night for Jan Hufford and Lee Moore, Phil Teter and Tom Kir ber, Dot Ely and Neil Tyner. Then off to the cinema. Small Talk Chuck Oehrle can't understand why Marcia Adams and Dick Kuska prefer the back seat for their 8 o'clock jaunt to Ag campus every Tues. and Thurs. morning. It's spring, Chuck. "It's bigger than the both of us" was the only message on the roses reggy Brust received from Chic Ross. Our blessings, children. Dating at the big game Satur day were Donna Pierson and Charles Farley, Ardis Westerhoff and Don Reed. Biggest post game rallyfor most Ag couples was the square dance at the Activities building. All set for the big "Blue Tarty" Friday, March 11, are Dale Arm strong and Susie Philpot, Dave Myers and Ann Hinds. Sounds colorful. AgRcorganizcs Extension Plan A new plan of reorganization of the College of Agriculture plac ing the extension service and the experiment station on coordinate levels has boon announced. Harry G. Gould will serve as associate director of agriculture extension after having served as acting director. The appointment of Marvel L. Baker as associate director of the agricultural ex periment station, previously on a temporary basis, was made per manent. The new plan will make Dean M. V. Lambert overall adminis trative head of the College of Agriculture, including all of its state and federal activities, the Board of Regents said. Opera tional phases of the various pro grams will be handled by Gould and Baker. Gould rose from the ranks of trie agricultural extension serv ice. He is a native Nebraskan graduated from Ag college. Gould was made acting director when W. H. Brokaw retired. Baker is one of the state's top authorities on livestock breeding and feeding. Born in Illinois, he received his bachelor of science and master's degree from Kansas State college. In 1948 he was ap pointed on a temporary basis to I his present office. on 5 Cornhusker Icift JAonL (paqsL Bv Bruce Kennedy. MIDWEST ERNERS found grounds for their fears of pos sible floods when the thaw started. One hundred forty fam ilies in Missouri Valley, la., were evacuated from their homes, as the Boyer river broke its dikes. Outlying farms were also flood ed by the rampaging waters and many trains had to be rerouted. More floods can be expected soon, weathermen said. A BIG RUSSIAN cabinet shake up puzzled the world Friday. Vyachcslav M. Molotov was re leased from his post as foreign miniser. He was replaced by An drei Y. Vishinsky. It has always been agreed thruout the world that Molotov was number two man in Kussia. it was even' thought that he would someday replace Joseph Stalin. There was no official comment from Wash ington. GENERAL CLAY'S order to "get out" of the American zone was finally obeyed by the Russians. The eight men repatriation mis sion had been ordered to leave last week, but refused. So Clay put MP's around the house, shut off water, food supplies, gas and electricity in an effort to make them leave. It worked!! EVEN THOUGH unemployment hit the highest mark since the war, federal administration of ficials say that there is nothing alarming in the report. They blamed bad weather and non-seasonal layoffs for the rise. John Lonnquist Chosen Head Of Corn Group John H. Lonnquist was elected chairman of the North Central Corn Conference at its annual meeting in Chicago last week. Lonnquist. assistant agronomist at the University's Agriculture experiment station, was named to the position for a two-year term. The Conference is composed of representatives of about 25 ex periment stations and branches of federal research agencies in the 11 main commercial corn produc ing states. It was organized two years ago as a co-operative agency to exchange information and material to speed up current research on corn breeding and production technique. Mr. Lonnquist. University staff member since 1943, is directing an extensive program of research on yellow hybrid corn. Last fall he announced devel opment of two new varieties. Neb. 503 and Neb. 701, which have better yield and standabil ity performance than many cur rent varieties. Neb. 701, on the basis of experimental tests, yields more than eight bushels per acre more, on the average, than U. S. 13, now widely used by Nebraska corn growers.
