Ag Engineers Open House aep Mans
n mi
To Show 'Wares' Tonight
Open house Is on the agenda
for Ag engineers Wednesday
evening.
Starting at 7:30 p. m., the open
house is especially designed to
acquaint beginning students
with the various phases of en
gineering education, particularly
the work of Ag engineers.
Howard Ilogun, who is in
charge of the open house,
stresses the fact that other en
gineers are also invited to the
event.
Highlighting the open house
will be a tour of the Nebraska
tractor testing lab. The lab is
the only one of its kind in the
world. Another feature of the
evening includes machinery dis
plays set up on the first floor
of the Ag Engineering building
at the north end of Ag cam
pus. Tractors. Models Tested
According to Nebraska law
a stock model of every make and
type must be tested at this uni
versity lab before it is put on
the market in the state. The
law also stipulates that the
manufacturer must provide and
maintain a complete stock of re
placement parts in the state.
From a count taken in June,
1949, 413 tractors have been
tested at the lab since its estab
lishment in 1919. Us purpose is
to protect the farmer from un
scrupulous manufacturers and
false advertising.
Now internationally known,
the Nebraska lab results are
generally accepted as the gospel
of tractor performance. The lab
not only tests tractors to be sold
in this state, but for some for
eign countries which require the
lab's tests.
When going through the lab,
each tractor undergoes three
tests. The first is a limber-up
period, followed by a belt test
and concluded by the draw-bar
test. Several special tests arc
also given the machinery.
Farm Equipment Shown
The various farm machinery
equipment will be on display for
study during the open house.

Machinery includes the plows,
harrows, 'and cultivators used
for fitting the soil and drills
and si-erlers for planting. Also

for haying mowers, rakes, load
ers, balers and choppers.
Also on display is the ma
chinery for harvesting and
threshing all types of grains
and seed. It involves processing
machines such as the ensilage
cutter, feed grinder and cotton
gin.
Further advancements are
being made in hydraulic remote
controls, mechanical loading and
unloading devices and forced air
drying of Iced and grains.

"We wuz robbed by that blind
Stupid !"
If there was ever a good label
to put on this winter's collegiate
sports season the above quota
tion would fit perfectly.
It has always been generally
assumed that officials of ath
letic contests must have three
requirements: 1) they must be
blind, (2) they must be stupid,
(3) they must be partial to the
visiting team.

Farm machinery is a field con
sidered wide open for Ag engi
neering graduates. An expanding
industry still to be developed in
toirign countries, it offers ex

engineering knowledge and those
with a farm background or

Although located on Ag cam

the University Engineering de
partment, headed by Dean
Green.
In addition to this open house,
the Ag engineers also plan a
display on the city campus dur

house is held on Ag campus at
that time, however.

lAclor to Sacrifice
I Hair for Drama
"If the show must go on, then
the hair must come off." That is
the motto of one student at
Syracuse University. He has the
lead in the production of "The
Gentleman" in which, at one
point, he Is inducted into the
Grand Order of the Mamaon
Chi, and one of the requirements
for this order is to have his hair
shaven.
Brands Speaks
At Vespers
"Sacrificing is a necessary part
of Christianity," Rev. William
Barnds told students at the Tues
day evening Vespers Service in
Love Library auditorium.
Asking, "Need We Sacrifice to
he Religious?" Rev. Barnds an
swered his question with an em
phatic affirmative. He explained
that Lent served to emphasize
the need for self-denial in Chris
tian life.
"The person who will cause us
the most trouble in life is ou
selves," he said in noting the
need tor personal discipline and
self-control.
"Certain spiritual things are
accomplished only with .sacri
fices . . . through fasting and
prayer," Rev. Iiarnds stated. "The
finest things in life do not come
about unless someone makes
sacrifices," he concluded.
