Sanders Depicts English
Agriculture at Convocation
Similarities between English and United States agri
culture were pointed out by Harold Sanders, English horti
culturist, in an all -University convocation Wednesday in
the Ag Union.
Speaking to over 300 students and faculty members,
Professor Sanders explained the agricultural educational
system in England and, in particular, that at Reading Uni-
versity, where ne is aean oi iacuuy oi agncun-uic, uum
culture and dairying. I T
"THE TWO things we argue
about mot," said Dean Sanders,
"are how scientific a course in
agriculture should be and how
long a degree course should be."
Under the present system in
England, most colleges give a
B.Sc. degree after three years,
he explained. A fourth year is
offered for a post-graduate di
ploma, during which students
"get a chance to catch up on
read ngs after throe hectic years,"
the dean said.
REFERRING TO science, the
dean remarked "that the more
scientific you get, the more high
falutin' you get." "However, at
Reading," he said, "anybody who
teaches must do research on the
theory that otherwise it may be
cheaper to get a gramophone."
A plan for training ex-servicemen
in agriculture is supported
by the government. Dean Sanders
said. Veterans are placed on
farms under county committee su
pervision, he said. On the basis of
selection, they are admitted to
counly institutes after a year for
a nine-months course, he ex
plained. Both veteran and college gradu
ates use their training to work on
the farm, with commercial firms,
with extension, or as a basis for
further training, he said.
DEAN SANDERS explained that
the majority of farming in Eng
land was done by tenants under
their system of ownership. During
the war, farming was greatly
mechanized through shipments of
machinery by the United States
through the lend-lease program,
he said. A great change in the at
titude of farmers is taking place
and they are beginning to accept
scientific training, Sanders added.
Immediately after the convoca
tion, the Union sponsored a coffee
hour in the Union lounge during
which Dean Sanders visited in
formally with students. The dean
is currently on a two-month tour

the question of Council re-organization still unsettled. Sev
eral corlallary measures were passed and the Council wound
up its session wun aennite siatemenis oi opinions uum an
P A . I
sides oi tne issue.
Council members must serve
their own cpnsciences.
This was the essence of a
statement by Dale Ball to the
Student Council, in speaking of
the adminis
tration pro
posal that the
Council be
made "more
rep resenta
tive." "I do not
want to see
this Council
forced to do
anything they
are not in fa
vor of. I be
iiv that this
is a question must be settled in
the minds of each Council mem
ber. If the members feel, hon
estly, that there is a need for a
change in representation then it
should be made. If the Council
does not feel there is such a need
it should report its inability to
comply with the administration's
suggestion and permit the ad
ministration to take whatever
steps its feels are necessary,"
Ball said.
"This must not be misconstrued
4 mran that. I am OlTOOSed to
the administration's proposal for
ci,fVi i nnt the case. But I do
believe that we should not take
action simply because we are re
quested to do so. We can never
mr-h a sstisfartorv solution to
the r,rrhlpm nf renresentation un
less we honestly believe that such
a nrnhlem exists and that we are
nhli paled to conauer it." Ball con
cluded.
BALL'S REMARKS came after
a discussion between members of
the Council and Miss Mary Mie
lnT farultv advisor, on faculty
and student sentiment towards the
proposed re-organization.
Ball's statement was immedi
ately countered by Dick Schleuse
ner who stated that such an at
iitnri "is not nrartieal."
"The administration has asked
us to correct a situation and we
must do so. We are not in a
position to decide whether we be
lieve in the adjustment we are to
make, scnieusener saia.
Daily Nebraskan
Farultv artion on a Daily Ne
braskan appeal of the decision
against the freshman beauty
queen was reported by Paul Welt
chek. Wcltchek and Louise Mc
Dill attended a meeting of the
faculty committee on student or-
cani7a1 inns and social functions.
Wletchek's report stated that the
faculty re-amrmea ineir decision
that lho nroiect was detrimental
to the dignity of the University
and unwise. According to weu
chek the committee felt that Lin
coln merchants were being shown
a preference by such action.
Faculty Senate
A ronnrt of the decisions reach
ed at the open hearing held by
the council judiciary committee
Tuesday nicht was submitted by
Dirk Sthleusener and Bill
Schcnck. The report stated that
some 25 persons representing "va

were present.
Those present at the hearing
reached a series of decisions and
raised a number of questions
which they wish presented to the

The constitutions committee
ciihmiltd a constitution of a OO-
litical party to be called the Stu
dent Party. Under the present
constitution this party will be able
to participate in the spring elec
tions. Polileal Tarty
The constitutions committee also
presented a constitution of Tri
dent, honorary naval fraternity.
Both constitutions were ap
proved by the Council.
Displaced Persons
The Council project to bnng
D. P.'s to the campus ws re
ported by Ros Howard. He stated
that the committee had held a
meeting with representatives of
organized houses and religious
groups.
As a result of the meeting, the
Council has been assured that
transportation for foreign students
will be provided by the Interna
tional Religious Organization. The
Presbyterian Student House has
pledged the funds to pay for trans
portation of such students to Ne
braska. "TUITION HAS practically bee n
promised by the administration,"
Howard said.
The biggest problem now facing
the committee, Howard stated, is
housing these students after they
arrive. Dr. Rosenlof has sent let
ters to all organized houses ask
ing for room and board, or room,
for one student for a year. So
far the response has been slight,
Howard continued.
Alpha Chi Omega and Beta
Thcta Pi are the only organized
groups which have promised to
give free room and board to a
such a student.
NSA

will appear before the Council to

Doane college, is regional NSA

Miss Sievers stated that NSA
