PAGE 2 Heyday on It was a heyday for the 200 delegates at last weekend's debate and discussion conference Who discussed "What should be the status of youth in the defense program of the future?" Should the 18-year-old be drafted? Should he be allowed to go to college? Should he take tests? Should he be offered a choice of when to serve a term? Should the U. S. cut defense spending? Should ireterans be drafted? Should sacrifice be "equal- Delegates, from different parts of the country, representing different colleges and theories, bit terly Qirasned out possible answers to these ques tions in hated preliminary sessions. Out of it all came no single solution, just a barrage of ideas. Usually the representatives at similar confer ences finally agree on a resolution which can be snt to all congressmen of the students present, but this year was different. The topic was too controversial and delegates too set In their own ideas to agree collectively on one proposal. To correspond with goals set up at the opening of the discussions an adequate de fense program, carefully avoiding of complete militarization of the country, preservation of free doms and balance between the industrial, mili tary and other needs the speakers just couldn't Iron out enough to agree on a compromise reso lution. One plan came out of the conference, suggest ed by several participants, receiving at least par tial approval, was one which would utilize tests In order to fairly place the youths. This plan in By Marylon Luther What will you remember about your college days 20 years from now? Chances are it won't be biz org 4 or the time you made headlines in the Rag for interview ing the convo speaker from Afghanistan. But you'll never forget that Monday night in May when you announced ycur pinning. You'd been going steady for four years, and .after .being .showered nightly for three years you'd decided to pass the candy. (Besides, you were aller gic to raw eggs, and the Beta Alpha Cam ma's hadn't had a candy passing for two months.

Born in Tennessee Born in the hills of Union county around Maynardsville, Tenn., Acuff is the son of a gen eral sessions judge and his peo ple were mountain folk. He was a pretty good high school athlete and was being scouted by the New York Yankees when a sun stroke put him on the sidelines.

THE cluded draft upon reaching ltt years or comple tion of high school, and Immediately giving a "capacity to learn" test to determine his status. Those receiving high scores on this examination would be given opportunity to go on to college. Once reaching college, the student would be able to finish without being subject to additional place ment tests. Opportunity to take a college ROTC program' would be available. After college, the student would serve the specified time. Those who took ROTC would, of course, be eligible for com missions. The 18-year-olds not going to college would take six months of basic training at the end of which time they would take another series of tests plac ing them in various branches of industry for the remaining periods. Veterans, under this proposal, would not be drafted until all-out war, and then on a basis of previous service. Women, likewise, would not be drafted until all-out war was de clared, and then for essantial industry only. Varying lengths of service were suggested. Some thought that one year's training was suffi cient and others felt a two and one-half year period was necessary. Final decisions set the time at either one year or two years. Necessity for allowing adequate training time was realized, and delegates tried to insert in all plans the idea of training the man for a position which would be useful when leaving the service. As the final parliamentary session ended, the participants asked themselves, as most Americans do, just what wil be our status in the future, j. k. After convincing the girls that you were modeling for Typical Rho Delta you thought your secret was . still safe. Your big moment was at hand. The main course had just been cleared from the tables and a bus boy was walking in with your candy. But no, yours had a pink wrapper! Four boxes later you recognized this one as yours. Yes, it was exciting, even after the two surprise wedding announce ments. Except for the 20 girls you'd shown your, pin to, everyone screamed in amaze ment. Your next big thrill came along with the Theta Gamma Iota Phis (the Thank God It's Friday fraternity.) It would have been nice if you could have seen your pinmate as you walked down the stairs, but the TGIFs were a lusty crew and their cigars set up a smoke screen. No wonder you felt nauseated as he stood on his tip-toes to kiss you. Yes, it was a never-to-be-forgotten oc casion that night you got excused from chapter meeting. Ping Pong Club To Enter Tourney The Union Table Tennis club will meet at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 23, in Room 316. The purpose of the meeting will be to determine the tourney entrants for the Big-Seven Table Tennis tournaments to be held April 6 and 7 at the University of Kansas.

Tours committee, in conducting these visits, sends a list of 20 things which are of interets on Ag campus to all of the high school in the state and other or ganizations. If a group wishes to tour the campus, they check 10 of the items which interest them most and send the list to the committee. The tours group tells the heads of the 10 departments that a cer tain number of people will be visiting the department at a cer tain time. The department heads can then make arrangements for someone to be on hand and con duct the group through his de partment Two tours committee members are then assigned to schedule the tour and conduct the group. Last year, 1500 people visited the Ag campus. The committee expects more visitors with this new sys tem. AUF to Collect Tardy Donations A final effort is being made by I AU7 to contact all people who nave delinquent pledges, Solici tors have called and will . con tinue to call all those who have neglected to pay the money they have pledged. Pledges may be brought to Room 309 in the Union, which will be open from 12:30 until 5 pjn. Thursday and Friday aft ernoons.

DAILY NEERASKAN J. 0 H.K By Rex Messersmith TV TV TV; Yes, the Ag Union television set is here! Of course it is not connected up yet and the antenae is to be put up, but it won't be long now! wow look, fellow Aggies here is a con venience brought about by the use of the money you have given to the U n i o n through the U n i o n's por tion of your t u i t i o n, so when this is set up and running, 1 e t's Messersmith get over there and use it, how about it? As planned it is of the com mercial type with an approxi mate screen size of 28 inches by 21 inches. So you be thinking about it and make plans to go on over (bring your girl you guys) where you can get a coke and a sand wich and just sit in the lounge and relax for a while on those nights that you are not plagued by the thought of a test the next day. Tonight marks the time for the playoffs of the ping pong contest that has been brewing for the past months in the Ag Union. The eight winners of the weekly contests will vie for the final prizes tonight from 7 to 9 p.m. Let's all get out and cheer for "our side. and watch the crowning of the champion of all champions in the recreation room of the Ag Union. The finalists are: Robert Woolman, Chris Ya mate, Ralph Olson, Eugene Pier son, William Payne, Kenneth Lux, Ward Hansen and Harold Dissmeyer. It seems to me that there is a conspiciuous absence of stu dents walking across the lawn since the launching of the re cent "Campus Conscious" cam paign sponsored by Ag Exec Board. This just goes to prove that if we are given the proper in centive Ag students can keep their campus looking like it ought to and not have the excess of "cow paths" running from build ing to building that is so much in evidence now. Congratulations are due the new Ag division of Builders un der the direction of Frank Sibert who have already sponsored a tour of Ag campus. Just give them time to get really organ ized and Ag campus will see a lot of good come from this promising group. Bar-B-Q,- yes a barbegue is elated for Friday night, March 16, which is in conduction with the 1951 Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben being held the night following In the State Fair grounds Coliseum. The committee in charge of the event plans to have tickets ready for sale before long. This one is a little different than most barbe cues in that ham is the main dish on the menu along with the reg ular trimmings that go with an event like this. If you have driven past the State Fair grounds entrance lately you have noticed the large sign proclaiming the approach of the Jr. Ak-Sar-Ben. WelL Dick Young Is responsible for that and it is a job well done.

Amy Falmer. There ere jokes and more jokes i about the various classes in Teacher's college. Most of these sly references intimate that the course future teachers take is a "snap" in other words it's easy. This may or may not be true, but either way, there's one course that mnicn un for all the easy hours anyone might have had and that's Ed 23. Ed 23, better known as prac tice teaching and by other less sane names, is one of these courses that makes you spend your days wishing you were dead on1 vnur n i writs wonderinc why you ever wanted to be a teacher.

Teachers College Wheels This health and mind breaking class is arranged by the superin tendent of Lincoln grade schools and the wheels of Teacher's college who so correctly assumed that future teachers should have actual exnerienee with the little dears over which they too soon will have complete cnarge.

Mariam Willey, Bob Mosher, -.J TJnmaina RasmilSSPIl Were dill recognized for their outstanding contributions to the community life of the University. Miss Willey, a xeacners col lege junior, maintains a weighted average of over 8, besides carry ing on a host of worthwhile campus activities.

The winning school will receive a traveling trophy which goes from school to school each year. Colorado, winner of last years tournament, will not hold the tournament this year as is cus tomary. Distance from other Big Seven schools was given as the reason. One other school in the Big Seven area will be invited to the tournament. The trip is sponsored by the TTninn rereation committee.

Coliseum YOU DAZS tt'SS IT f V.J LS . . j i ' a day, either from 8:30 until 11:30 a. m. or from 1 until 4 p. m. Students may have classes three or five days a week. They may choose their school, too. There are approximately fif teen schools in Lincoln from which the prospective practice teacher may choose. She (some times he) is then assigned a school, a room and a teacher un der whom she will practice and then is sent out into the cold, cruel world in which grade school children live. It's then that the trials and tribulations begin. School Ont in Lincoln When the average student starts to check on the location of his new school, he finds that it is on the outskirts of Lincoln and that the only bus leaves at 5:30 a. m. Or, if he is big and brave, and decides to hike, he finds he has to cut lunch every day to get there on time. In desperate situ ations, there is always taxi serv ice, but that adds up to about two dollars a day. Life is sad in deed. But the smiling optimist goes on, thinking of how happy things will be when he gets there. The little children will greet him gayly and he will practice much affairs group, and plays flute in the university and Lincoln sym phony orchestras. Mosher's Activities A senior in business admin istration. Bob Mosher holds the high position of vice president of the Union board, and directs an active program that attracts hun dreds of collegians every day to the Union. Last year he headed the Red Cross college unit which serves both campus and community in entertainment, first aid, water safety, and motor corps. Now he is directing a skit, "You Are Not Alone," which the TcA Cms student trrourj will pre sent at the annual campaign rally this spring in Lincoln. Mosher is a member of In nocents, and is enrolled in the NROTC program. DP Welcomer Romaine Rasmussen helped 12 DP students adjust to University life last year, by lining up scholarships, rooms, jobs, meals, and books for them. He gained satisfaction for this work by a better understanding of the DP's typical hatred of and flight from communism. Rasmussen is an English major and senior at the University and a student of religion at Cotner. Now he is co-chairman of the campus drive to get "assurances" of scholarships, food, books, meals, and rooms for 12 more displaced persons.

His superv'siDg tencher grs him at the door with a smile and hroom and leaves. The littla children, knowing they can get away with murder witn tnat jeric, tear the room apart. At the end of the hour, the new teacher is sithting in a corner whistling one more chorus of "Life Gets Tedi ous, Don't It?" Actual rracuce xeaenint; This is practice teaching as seen from the eyes of the stu dents the first few days. Actual ly, that's not how it is at all. Th tpachers chosen to super vise are only the most compe tent and most experiencea m tne schools. The student is allowed tn nhsprv for a few days and then is gradually "broken in" to the process of actually nanaiing a class. Constructive criticism is then offered as well as instruc tion in all phases of teaching. If the student is eager and displays interest and enthusi asm, he gradually is given more responsibility and understands more thoroughly the intricate minds of his pupils. All in all, the course is an ex cellent one. In fact, it is prob ably the most practical one of fered to prospective teachers. Yes, it requires stamina, patience, psychology and understanding, but that is just what a good teacher must develop. If you can't take the grind for three hours a day, then try another college for teaching is no snap vocation. Summer Study 4broad Offered To Collegians An invitation to 205 outstanding students of every nationality and creed to "see the world" this sum mer has been given by the Lisle Fellowship.
