And the cost of that research has been about 1 million dollars in the past 50 years. These points were stressed by J. C "Chet" Swinbank, secre tary of the Nebraska Grain Im provement association, as he gave his annual report during the annual meeting of his organ ization here last week. He said the association has continued to work with the University Ag college in expand ing the use of approved varieties of crops and other results of research among farmers. The association conducted 12 regional wheat improvement plots during 1950. Samples of wheat from 982 farms were grown, studies and classified. Seventeen counties were repre sented. The association conducted field meetings at 13 wheat, oat or barley demonstration plots thru out the state. The association also: helped western Nebraska farmers to establish the Nebraska Wheat Foundation, a self-help organization to promote the use of wheat. Co-operated with the Union Pacific in the improvement car program, promoting good seed and reduction of losses in stored (rain. Held the Nebraska Wheat show at McCook. Dr. L. P.

Winner will be announced at the Honors Convocation April 24. of fact, I'm working my way through school too. Now will you Dnng us tnree glasses or miiK and pet nut?" Thev pot their cokes as well as an explanation of just what was going on The last customer to go through the orgy of arguing with a stub born witness ordered a hot fudge crib. He was given the usual ar gument about having no mind of his own and simply ordered a crib because his two friends had. For five minutes they argued about the order and he grew more exasperated. Finally, he dropped his head in his hands asid said very quietly, "All right, all right, bring me a dish of cher ry nut ice cream." Since there was no cherry nut, he was brought a dish of straw berry which he ate in complete innocence. When the bill was pre ented, he asked, "Do you get paid for this mouthin off to the customers?" "I get paid for waiting on the customers and seeing that they get what they want. Also, we're instructed to keep this place clean, so why don't you leave? You've finished, haven't you?" At this he slammed down the spoon, took out a cigaret, very slowly lit it and leaned back. "As a matter of fact, lady, I haven't even beeun to think of leaving. Any more comments from you and I'll let you have it in the back of the head with' this nap kin holder." Avoided Being Different. The waitress left. While wait ine for another customer to wheedle, two more brothers walked in and joined her friend with the strawberry ice cream. While she waited to let them complain about the slow service, there was a long conference. Then when she went to get the order, before she could even get out her Dencil. the enlightened customers both shouted, " a green river with marshmallow top ping." They were definitely avoiding the 'be dinerenr argu- ment, What thev should have avoid ed was this Rag reporter out looking for a scoop. But those victims who were caught will . -- . probably never again complain about the service at the Union. Participate Activities teacher education held in Omaha. Sixteen delegates of the Uni versity library staff attended the mid-winter conference of the American Library association held recently in Chicago. Frank A. Lundy. director of University libraries, presided as chairman at the university libraries section of the Association of College and Research libraries. Lundy also presided at an executive board meeting of the Mountain-Plains Library association, of which he is president. State Mortality Rates Released A possible connection between the amount of money a Nebraska man earns and his likelihood of dying is a given year is seen in tentative figures released Thurs day by the University department of business research. According to rough estimates based on the 1940 census, profes sional men have a lower mortal ity rate than any other occupa tional group in Nebraska. They die each year at a rate of 12.9 per thousand. The state average for all males 16 years and older is 17 per thousand. Laborers have the highest death rate (21.5 per thousand), followed by farmers, 17.1; trade workers, 16.6; businessmen, 15.7; and clerks, 13.3. In these statistics, however, the farmer mortality rate is too low and that of the businessmen too high, Dr. Edgar Z. Palmer, chair man of the department of busi ness research said. He explained that the farm population has de creased . since the 1940 census, making it too large a base for the 1949 death statistics used. The rate among those in business for themselves is probably higher be cause of their relatively high average age, he explained.

Swind ler, director of the University school of journalism. As head of the journalism de partment, Dr. Swindler not only teaches students the finer points of journalism during their respec tive University careers, but he is instrumental in the placement of students after their graduation. Career Began in 1933 Dr. Swindler has 'always been interested in the field of journal ism. A native of St. Louis, Mo., Dr, Swindler obtained his first "newspaper" experience in gram mar school when he was appoint ed news editor of the school's pa per. His actual newspaper career commenced in 1933 when he be came a reporter for the St. Louis Star-Times. He then became a publicity writer for the Washington uni versity news bureau from 1934 to 1935. From 1936 to 1938, Dr. Swindler was an editorial writer for the St. Louis Star-Times, and from 1938 to 1940, he was a cor respondent for the St. Louis Post Dispatch. During his newspaper career, Dr. Swindler interviewed such celebrities as Bill Tilden, Helen Hayes, Henry Wallace and civic officials from various states. When asked which category of affected, Dr. Swindler replied celebrities were usually the least that the politicians were less like ly to be "stuffed shirts," while the athletes were most likely the ones to have the blown-up egos. Be ire Dr. Swindler came to tie University, he had been grad uate assistant at Washington University in 1935 and an instruc tor in journalism at the Univer sity of Missouri from 1938 to 1940. He then became an assistant pro fessor and journalism department head at the University of Idaho from 1940 to 1944. Dr. Swindler remained at the University of Idaho until 1945. He then came to the University of Nebraska to become head of the journalism department here. Active in Journalism Honoraries Dr. Swindler's campus activi ties do not keep him from being an active member of many jour nalism honoraries. He is national president and past national secre tary of Kappa Tau Alpha, a mem ber of Sigma Delta Chi. past na t:amal secretary of the American Association of Teachers of Jour nalism and a member of the American Association of Univer YM Management Board Elected The University branch of the YMCA recently elected Dr. L. K. Crowe president of the manage ment board. Dr. Crowe is a professor of dairy husbandry at Ag college. He succeeds Coach Harry Good who has served for two terms. Other new officers include: Charles McLean, vice-president, an Ag college junior, who was preceded by Virgil Ganzel; Dave Cargo, secretary, and president of the city campus YMCA and M. G.

The course, Investiga tive Methods of Editing, shows the students through lectures and discussions with experts in vari ous fields the progress of these fields within the last fifty years. This course gives journalism stu f mm,'j the opportunity to learn of advancements in other fields which often proves useful to them in their journalistic careers. Dr. Swindler believes that a good Virnalist must not only have an f "ellent knowledge of journal- m, but he must also have a well rounded education and be aware V world affairs. Gives Advice "Take all the political science you can, and then take as much House Jokers Irritate Work-Weary Student It's midnight. The room is dark and all is quiet when the work-weary stu dent finally retires; Suddenly a blood-curdling yell pierces the inky blackness. A few seconds later the light flicks on. What do we see? Well, that's anybody's guess. The enslaved student was the victim of some joker's brainstorm. While the in tellectual had been drawing logi cal conclusions to his problems, it seems as though his roommate or best friend had been exercis ing his muscles in jumping to decisions in the opposite direc tion. Cracker Crumbs At this rate, our unassuming friend could take on anyone of a variety of appearances and still get by. Soaking wet? Face "blood" streaked with catsup? Rolling in cracker crumbs? Shak ing with rage over a torn sheet? You name it! However, when funsters get started, these little incidents seem tame compared to a few of their more "stupendous" creations. With this species, the motto is "Anything goes!" so long as it provides laughs. It has come to their attention, though, that a few of their schemes have back fired in more than one big ex plosion. Nevertheless, they go on about their merry way, decorating the faces of their sleeping friends with water colors and blithely sprinkling tons of soapflakes m the hallways. Scattering torn-up newspaper and rolling trash bar rels down the corridors are among their pet tricks as well.

Dr. Swindler received his Ph.D. at the University of Missouri in 1942. little freshman to set off the fire alarm at the dorm, usually dur ing semester intervals. , Some female jokers have an af finity to tampering with cosmet ics. They love the scent that is sues forth when a match is ap plied to cologne or perfume, pur posely placed at the foot of some unknowing occupant's door. Then too, that "Pepsodent smile" turns to a shine (or is it grime?) when the white pasty substance is "di luted" with shampoo. Wild Scenes Food is the prankster's meat too. In this field, he finds possi bilities unlimited. Again, his im agination runs wild wth scents when limburger cheese comes to mind. He takes great delight in smearing it very artistically over radiators, light bulbs and most any other object that would gen erate enough heat to make the stuff melt. And, if he has a band of loyal followers, it is sometimes possible to divert the cook's at tention long enough to add a lit tle "color" food coloring, that is to the evening meal. Numbers are also effective when it comes to absconding with all or part of an intended dinner. Indeed, there is a long list of opportunities in this world for the practical as well as the pro fessional laugh-getter. However, until some new tricks are dreamed up, how about sticking to some of the tamer ones what say, fellows?
