That's the way most students leel about the last few weeks of school. The term papers that they post poned until instructors began to demand them; the day-by-day reports that they were supposed to have kept and the books that they didn't read because they didn't have any tests in it before the final. These students succumbed to the ancient disease known as postponitis. Do It Now! "Do it now," could well be the motto of the students as they spend the wee hours of the morn ing preparing the assignments that they should have done weeks ago. '11 do belter next semester" is always their cry. They usually b i the nexi semester oy keep- Student ' Student Council Constitution We, th etudenta of the University ef Nebraska, with the consent of the Uni versity Senate, do hereby ordain and es tablish this constitution for the adminis tration of student affairs. .

It happens every semester. Rare indeed is the student who is not behind in something by the end of the semester. With an "I'll do it tomorrow" attitude, they do the things that are so much more fun than studying. Approximately 20 to 23 hours of the day are spent in serious study toward the end of the sem ester by many students. They spend their daylight hours in the library ferreting out information.

Diverted Interests During the course of studying, the student usually paces the room, turns on the radio, reads the latest magazines and finally grudgingly sits down to work.

Students Saddened by Death Of NJJ Tradition, Corn Shucks .Students are wondering whe-i thing else to read." ther Corn Shucks is going to die I From various other students or just fade away. Ron Raitt, student at NU, when asked whether he was sad or glad Corn Shucks couldn't have their last issue, stated he was very sad. It reminded him of p popu lar song "Old magazines never die, but Com Shucks is fading away." Another student when ap proached upon this subject an nounced that he was sad as he always got a big laugh out of it too , bad they don't have any jokes in it. A group of students gathered in the Crib said "Yes, we want another issue. We're tired of reading the Rag and want some- Interviews for Staff Positions On Publications Slated May 19 Interviews for summer and fall staff positions on The Daily Nebraskan and for fall positions on the Cornhusker yearbook are Saturday, May 19, 8 a.m., at the Union faculty lounge. Following these interviews the student-faculty committee on stu dent publication will appoint the new members of the publications staffs. Editor and business manager are the summer positions for The Daily Nebraskan. They receive a set salary plus a bonus at the end of the eight-week period. Fall Staff The "Rag's" fall staff consists of editor and business manager, news editor, five feature editors, Ag editor, sports editor, staff photographer, society editor, as sistant business manager, (3) and assistant sports editor. Available Cornhusker positions are: editor and business mana ger, assistant editor, managing editor and assistant business Report Tells Of Progress With Crops Progress in crops research is outlined in a report of the Uni versity's Box Butte experiment farm which has been submitted to the county commissioners by Dean W. V. Lambert of the col lege of agriculture. Highlights of th document: Results of 20 years of crop ro tations have been compiled. It shows that potato production after summer fallowing is de pendable all years. But in half or more of the year's potato pro duction following wheat or corn is uncertain. More than double the yield of wheat is usually obtained after summc fallowing than when wheat follows wheat. Experimental Varieties Approximately 800 lines or va rieties of potatoes were grown on the farm in 1950. Eighty of the most promising were used to find their suitability for dryland culture and to develop a supply of foundation seed potatoes for later distribution for tests at other places and later for distri bution to potato growers. The Progress variety, devel oped in this program during the past 13 years, is rapidly replac ing Triumph in western Nebraska because the tubers of the former have very little scab and do not crack during harvest. An experiment is being con ducted to find the best planting rate for the new variety and the best methods of cultivation for dryland use. During the past summer facilities at the farm were used for some technical studies with potatoes to find fac tors influencing drouth or heat endurance, food manufacturing efficiency of different varieties of potatoes and relation of type of plant growth which enables some varieties to survive hail damage better than others. Synthetic Variety An Iowa corn hybrid No. 4417 has been found to outyield Dawes No. 2 the local open pol linated variety that" has been used at the farm for many years. Progress is being made In devel oping a synthetic variety for northwestern Nebraska because seed of it would be much cheaper, Throughout a period of years an Improved synthetic va riety might because of the vari ability within it be more pro ductive in such a short season country than hybrids with their uniform types of plants. Scientists found that it was possible to screen out many lines of wheat that were readily damaged by hail after two se vere storms which hit the winter wheat nursery last summer. Much information obtained as to winter hardiness and drouth en durance is being used as a guide in maknig selections for later use, 10-Year Test During a 10-year wheat test the Cheyenne variety has aver aged the best yield 32.3 bushels per acre, Nebred follows with an average yield of 30.7. Paw nee and Comanche were next, both averaging 29.7. Despite sorghum plantings be ing destroyed for grain yields by hail, the Norghum variety, re covered well and some grain ma tured. Even with wheat damage by hull and drouth last summer there were increased yields after nitrogen application when the wheat followed summer fallow. But there was no increase In yield when wheat followed until 60 pounds of nitrogen per acre was applied. The protein content of wheat was increased distinctly with ni trogen fertilizer during the past two years. Phosphorus applica tions had lltl'n effect. Mid-September seeding showed better re sults than lata August seeding both years. , came statements like: "We want our money for the last issue back." "Completely unaware of not having another issue." "I'll have nothing to send to my girl friend in Kansas, for her birthday:" "If it was a humor magazine, I'd probably miss it." Many other students that we didn't contact probably have other comments to say on the subject. Frank Jacobs, editor of the magazine would be glad to knjow any other comments and will be open for interviews any afternoon in the Corn Shucks of fice. manager. Three students and four facul ty members compose the commit tee on student publications who select the staffs. Leon Pfeiffer, senior member; Gerald Matzke, junior member; and Noirnan Rasmussen, sopho more member, are the student members of the committee. The committee is headed by Roger V. Shumate, political sci ence professor. William C. Har per, director of student affairs, Mary E. Guthrie, home economics professor; and William J. Arn old, professor of psychology, are the faculty board members. The faculty Senate appoints the faculty members to the com mittee. Student members are selected by the Student Council. Bruce Nicoll, of the University public relations department, acts as liaison officer for the commiti tee. He works between the mem bers of student publications and the committee on publications. Better Yell Squad Drive Ends Today The "Better Yell Squad" cam paign which started last week will end today noon. If any students have ideas of any sort for new yells, new stunts, chants or merely general suggestions the yell squad will greatly appreciate receiving them. Don Devries, yell king for the 1951-52 yell squad,, stated that the only way to develop a yell squad which will be perfectly suitable to the majority of stu dents is to let the students them selves decide what it should be like. Students that have suggestions may give them or mail them to Don Devries at 1545 R St. Seniors to Receive Three Graduation Tickets Three commencement tickets will be enclosed with the senior letters mailed to each University senior. No additional tickets may be obtained from the registrar's office. Parents, relatives or friends planning to attend graduation ceremonies must present these tickets to be admitted. Estimated and final senior grades are now being submitted by faculty members. These grades are subject to change until June 2. set-ups for cm ' o CATALINA McGregor JANTZEN 50 to S95 Little Man On Campus how to ' keep off the stag line... I I ' l "I-' I I 4 j Ml. ; &f i.LU!
