The long track is the tractor testing course and at the end of the track is the tractor testing lab. The lab is the only one of its kind in the world, and all tractors sold in Nebraska must be tested here first by state law. Lusty Winds Still Blowing As Campnsitcs Students congregated yester day in the Union's Crib and other campus gathering points to dis cuss the many odd and humorous incidences that they witnessed in Nebraska's, by now well known, Big Blow ot '50." Chief topic of conversation by residents of the women's dorma tories was the itory of the big light that hangs over the en trance to Raymond hall. The lantern had broken loose from some of its moorings and was swaying in the gale. Fearful that it might drop', orders were given to prevent women leaving by the main door. Only door left was the drive-way entrance, but as all students know, that entrance is "never supposed to be used by anyone." Perhaps this is one rea son why the coeds missed, their afternoon classes. Even Ed Weir, head track coach, and twice selected All American tackle had trouble with the pesky wind. As he walked out of the coliseum door on his way to practice at the east sta dium, a gust caught the 200 pounder and carried him all the way across the front of the building. No Success Joan Pedcn had one of the better excuses for missing out on classes. She struggled her way to the corner opposite Teachers' college but could get no further. The wind was just too much for her 89 pounds and she was forced to return home. An ingenious freshman had the best idea. "All you had to do," announced one," was to wait un 19 lV The HALF PRICE BEAUTIFUL BOXED STATIONERY AND FANCY NOTE SHEETS NOW SELLING AT HALF PRICE AND LESS.

Strong Wind Charles Dcuser just looks at his new car and sighs. He was waiting for a stoplight at a down town intersection in his Chevro- let when a strong blast picked up the car and pushed it into another vehicle along side. A 5 o'clock coke lab at the Diamond grill was dismissed early. Students arrived early prc- pared for much study but the disappearance of the entire west window changed their plans. A Teacher's college student tells the tale of a coed who started out to mail a letter across the street. She was so pushed by the wind that a stronger male student had to come to her aid. The two of them started again but a stronger blast caught them and tossed the boy into the side of a passing taxi while the girl plopped down unceremoniously on the bottom of her lap in the middle of the intersection. Head Alone One of the Lincoln residents Rot a bigger surprise on her shopping tour that day. The wind had broken the display windows of a large store and had knocked the head off one of the models. The head bounced out of the window and rolled down the street just in time to meet the lady shopper. Surprised at seeing a rolling head with no body, the lady promptly fainted.

In general it means the products of the farm equip ment industry. Machinery includes the plows, harrows, cultivators and the like for fitting the soil; the drills and seeders for planting. It means all manner of haying machinery mowers, rakes, loaders, balers and choppers. It embraces the machinery of harvesting and threashing all types of grains and seeds. It involves processing ma chines such as the ensilage cut ter, teed grinder, cotton gin and others. Var Brnucht Nrrd. The war years brought with them an increasing need for mechanization. The farmer needed machines capable of do in; the work formerly done by several men. These machine.! are in evidence on must midwestern farms today. Further advance ments are being made in hy draulic remote controls, mechan ical loading and unloading de vices, and forced air drying of feeds and grains. One f( the more recent devel opments in harvesting equipment is the sugar cane harvester used in Hawaii. The development of this machine was a necessity be cause of increased costs without a corresponding increase in gross returns and the increased scarc ity of field labor. Cane Harvester The use of the sugar cane harvester has enabled the Ha waiian industry to continue to produce and retain its place in the world market as a producer of cane sugar. Farm machinery is a field wide open to Ag Engineering gradu ates. An expanding industry, still to be developed in foreign coun tries, it offers fertile opportuni ties to men with engineering knowledge and also with a farm background or farming knowl edge. Visitors to the Ag Engineering open house will be able to see the equipment available for study on the first floor of the Ag Engi neering building. AUF...

Eighteen Dancers, Musicians Compose Graham Troupe Martha Graham, modern dance virtuoso, will appear here with her company in a concert spon sored by Orchesis, modern dance club. The concert will be held at Irving junior high auditorium at 8 p. m., Tuesday, March 21. The company of 10 dancers and ei(:ht orchestra members will present a four part program in modern dance. Part 1 "Diversion of Angels" This dance follows no story. Its action takes place in the imagin ary garden love creates for it self. Part II. "Deaths and En trances" This is a legend of the hiart's life. The action takes place in a room and halls of an ancient house. It concerns three sisters "doom eager" as the three Bronte sisters were "doom eager" to fulfill their destiny. It concerns the restless pacings of the heart on some winter evening. There are remem brances of childhood, certain dramatizations of well known objects, dreams of romance, hatreds bred of longings and maciness. Poetic Experience This is essentially a legend of poetic experience rather than a story of incident. It is a suspen sion of time and subsequent in tensification of experience at the sight of some simple remembered object: a shell, a glass gobler. a vase. Part III. "The Eye of An guish" The legend of Lear, a king of ancient Britain, and his three daughters is one of the oldest English stories. In his old age, Lear rashly decides to re linquish his crown and divide his kingdom among them accord ing to theii avowal of love for him. Lear's tragic flaw is a lack of imaginative insight. He errs in thinking that he can be king without a crown and in treating love as measurable By intro ducing a spirit of calculation, he invests his evil daughters. Gon- 2 12 Inch 27V2c Ea.

In the life of every woman, she is her own most appreciative spectator. In this circus of the silly woman's life, the sum total of episodes and of interludes does not add up to mature dignity, but to a tragic- addled confusion Miss Graham plays the lead ing role in two of the dances.

BY JEAN FENSTER Ag Union problems come to a climax today when Duanc Lake and Ag students get together on expansion of the Union on Ag campus. Expansion of the Union has so far been treated in connec tion with plans for a wing on the c i t y Un- ion. It is my opinion that Ag stud ents are not dis agreeable to a wing down town. After all, both Un ions serve both cam puses. Ag stu dents use the city campus 41 J Union, and downtown students electing courses at Ag certainly make use of the Ag Union. Rather, the question Is, will Ag have a Union at all if pres ent curtailments continue? It is unfortunate that the Ag Union is not controlled by Ag campus. Funds evidently make that un feasible. Realizihg then that the success of both Unions depends on their working together for a common end, they should be treated relatively alike. Lake has set forth the budget for the two Unions. The budget is fine. It is fine except that the money appropriated to the Ag Union runs short in the final analysis, and the surplus not used by the Ag Union goes back into the general pot. Ag Union is not using the full amount allotted to it, yet it can accumulate no reserve with which to expand itself because f the set-up. If students on Ag want a Union a Union that will faci litate the needs of the students, which includes meeting rooms for Ag groups as well as the many outstate groups that now go downtown for meetings probably the surest way is a strong and united appeal to the state legislature for funds for an Ag college controlled Ag Union. Complications Immedla tely riso in connection with the Foods and Nutrition cafeteria. Food service in a new Ag Union would have definite effects on cafe teria success. Since the cafeteria also serves as a lab for foods courses, the problem is not one to be slighted. On the other hand, a new Union without food service would be of little value to the large outstate organiza tions that hold banquets or for groups on Ag who would readily have dinner meetings. Three representatives from each organization on Ag campus have been asked to attend the general Union meeting at 5 p. m. in the. Ag Union lounge. This doesn't mean that YOU can't come. If you're interested In an Ag Union you'll be there too. United we stand and you know the rest. FOR THE RIGHT ANSWERS . . .
