Lenten Message
Kditor'ft note: The followlne mchNae-e
r-lor. I the first In a series of articles on the Holy Season by eampiit n I i clous read
er. tlrne Beric.)
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.

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

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.

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.
