Ag Royalty
Includes 4
Attendants
Joan Raun stepped from a wish
ing well Friday night to be
crowned queen of the Farmer's
were Luulla Cooney,
Jean Hargleroad, Jo Ann Skucius
and Alice Anderson. The queen
and her maids were chosen from
a group of senior home economics
majors in a election sponsored by
the Ag Exec board.
Results of the election were
secret until the girls appeared
to climax the annual cotton and
denim dance.
Miss Raun is a member of
Mortar Board, Ag Exec board
and two home ec honoraries,
Phi Upsilon Omicron and Omi
cron Nu.
Built around a "wishing well"
theme, the Farmer's formal had
Eugene Robinson as master of
ceremonies. Robinson led the
formal goers in wishing for a
queen and her royal court.
Men dressed in jeans and plaid
hurts and women dressed in cot
tori dresses entered the dance
through an archway of tree
branches. A golden harvest moon
and a false ceiling of autumn col
ors completed the setting.
Couples danced to the tunes of
Mai Dunn and his orchestra. The
musicians, along with their fea
tured vocalist Evelyn Jansen, were!
also dressed in the traditional cot
ton and denim.
Miss Raun succeeds Dorothy
Bowman, who was chosen queen
of the 1950 Farmer's Formal.
A sizable number of city
campus students joined the Ag
students. A chance to climb in
to jeans and cotton dresses was
apparently welcomed by many.
Those who planned the dance
includedf "Decorations; ' Wayne
White, Alice Anderson, Rex Crom
and Jerry Johnson; publicity, Joan
Raun; nresentation and election,
Joyce Keuhland, Jan Ross; tickets.
Gene Robinson.
Chaperones for the evening of
Ag festivities were Mr- and Mrs.
Dave Sander, agronomy depart
ment, and Mr. and Mrs. Charles
Adams, animal husbandry department.

"And why in the devil didn't
you wear your little beanie this
morning?" the irate active asked.
"Because, sir. I love mv Httle
beanie," replied the pledge. "It
was raining: out this morning,
and I feared for my little beanie.
I thought perhaps that when I
wore it out in the rain, the colors
would run and ruin it."
"Hah!" replied the noble
active.
And so they took the little
pledge's beanie, and soaked it
with water. Sure enough, the
colors ran.
P.S. The little pledge not
wearing his little beanie on
rainy days. He didn't like red
hair.

'University's Radio Program
Unexcelled By Other Colleges'
"No other university in America
has a radio outlet comparable to
that of the University of Ne
braska," according to Ken Keller,
assistant director of public rela
tions at the University.
Nebraska's own program, "Your
University Speaks," is broadcast
over a network of 17 stations, he
continued. Although some univer
sities have their own stations, no
other university also has a pro
gram broadcast over a large net
work. "Your University Speaks"
tells the people of Nebraska
what is going on at their uni
versity, Keller said. Interviews,
concerts and transcriptions of
University life are presented
every Sunday. . ,
Keller said most stations ask
for interviews with Chancellor
R. G. Gustavson and head football
Bunche, Emily Kimbrough and
many of the convocation speakers.
Keller reported that the re
cent interview with Dr. and
Mrs. Martin Muma proved to
be one of the most unusual
shows he has broadcast Dr.
Muma, formerly an associate
professor of entomology at the
University, is one of the na
tion's few experts on spiders.
Another unique program broad
cast the sounds of a beating hu
man heart and a moving muscle.
The program was born during
the war when the Nebraska
Broadcasters association formed
the Nebraska Network association
to do a week'v show of aptriotic
importance. A.tw the war's end,
the association turned the show
coach Bill Glassford. Other guests j
have been Ogden Nash, Dr. Ralph
over to the University to continue
the public service.
Participants in the "Your Uni
versity Speaks" program do not
prtend to be professional radio
performers, Keller said. He be
lieves that the people of Ne
braska, having been pelted with
neat crisp perfection In pro
grams, like to lean back and
hear people talk naturally.
Guests on this week's show,
broadcast Sunday at 2:30 p.m.,
over KFOR, will be football coach
Bill Glassford, athletic news di
rector John Bentley, and Tom
Rische and Sue Gorton of The
Daily Nebraskan staff. A tran
scribed portion of a recent speech
by Chancellor Gustavson in which
he presents his "equation for suc
cess" will also be included. ,
Sophomore men candidates
are Joe Edwards and Dale Ol
son. Junior men candidates are Art
Becker and Bill Waldo.
Senior men candidates are
Rex Coffman and Jerry John
son. The Ag Exec board is the gov
erning body of the College of
Agriculture. It is composed of
student members and two faculty
members, Mary E. Guthrie, as
sistant professor of home eco
nomics, and David Sander, as
sistant professor of agronomy.
Membership on the board con
sists of five students in addition
to the six being elected Tuesday.

A tip to the wise.
For the latest in recommended
procedures for gettinr back at
your enemies, do as thousands
of others do.
At precisely midnight, in the
light of a full moon, go to the
nearest cemetery and find an
old tree stump. You may pro
ceed to sit down upon It. Then
build a small bonfire a short
distance to ne side of it. . The
fire must built up in the shape
of a funeral pyre, and must be
fairly large.
Upon the stroke of one
o'clock, remove from your left
coat pocket a small lump of
wax. Then proceed to make a
small wax figurine resembling
your enemy. While doing this,
you must mutter small incarna
tions, which may vary to your
own personal tastes. Sample in
carnations, however, I am not
permitted to print
When the figurine is finished,
remove a small pin from your
pocket. Stick this pin in the
figurine. This according to
latest Voodoo methods, should
do him immeasurable harm.
This method comes to me highly
recommended.
Another tip to the wise.
If your friend In anger should
kick you, do not be dismayed
or become angry. Do as the good
Samaritan would do turn the
other cheek.
The weather report for day
indicates some cloudiness, but
otherwise fair and warmer,
clearing over the whole state by
tomorrow. High temperature to
day is 50 in the east and CO-65
in the west.
"May I kiss you?"
"Darn, another amateur."
