a table in the center of the room.
Not all the books pertain di

Some of them are histories of
Brittany, France, the middle
ages and Paris, but all allude to
the life or historical events dur
ing Anne's lifetime from 1477 to
1514.

Although Dr. Orr made no spec

Tractor
Lab
The University tractor testing
laboratory has ended its 1951 sea
son with the testing of its 471st
tractor.
The tractor test lab was
started in 1920 as a result of a
law providing- for testing of a
stock model of each tractor sold
in the state.
Engineer L. F. Larsen in
charge of the laboratory- said that
15 tractors have been tested this
year. Out of the 15 were 11 diesels.
Larsen said farmers who operated
their tratcors a large number of
hours find that diesels are eco
nomical. A gasoline burning tractor
manufactured by Massey-Harris
established a world's record for
fuel economy at the lab this year.
The machine burned .495 pounds
of fuel per belt horsepower hour.

Nebraska art has joined the in

Huge Crowd
Hears Carol
i
Program
University Singers, 100 voice
choral group, presented its annual
Christmas Carol concert to two
standing-room-only audiences
Sunday afternoon at the Union
bailroom.
The red-robed choir sang "O
Come All Ye Faithful" for its pro
cessional march as the group took
its places in front of the candle-this week,
writing and arithmetice faster
and better than in "the old days."
But this type of criticism, Dean
Henzlik said, pales beside the tac
tics used by some individuals or
groups who are opposed to school
costs, school policies, school bond
issues, or particular teachers or
school officials.
"These groups have found
that the easiest way to discredit
a school official or an educa
tional policy or proposal is to
link him or it with socialism or
communism in the public mind,"
Dean Henzlik said.
"Progressive educators are ac
cused of indoctrinating children
with all sorts of un-American
notions. Those who favor federal
aid for schools or social security
for teachers are being called
socialists or communists. These
allegation of course are mon
strously untrue. They strike fear
in the minds of honest citizens
and teachers and confuse the hon
est critics so that schools are
ruined rather than benefited by
the criticisms made."
nuts and that is no exaggeration.
Ingenuity, not beauty, is the key
note of these artistic creations,
The motto of girls making up
these corsages seems to be "the
zanier, the better."
In 1947 one ingenious coed
gave her date a corsage of
onions and garlic tied with a
bright red ribbon. The coed
was braver than her date, be
cause even with the garlic and
onions, she danced almost
every dance with him that eve
ning. The 1947 Mortar Boards showed
ingenuity, not particularly in
their corsages
but also in the
way they called
for their dates.
Some of the
M. B.'s picked up their dates in
a hearse, while others traveled
in the plush comfort of a hay
rack, wheel-barrow or a model T.
A corsage that caused quite a
bit of comment during the 1950
MB ball was a skunk tied by a
little red ribbon. Actually, no one
had anything to worry about be
cause the skunk had been de
odorized prior to the dance.
One coed who wasn't quite
sure of the loyalty of her date
shackled him up for the eve
ning via a ball and chain.
Needless to say, he sat the fast
numbers out.
all over the coliseum. The cor
sage consisted of a helium
filled baloon and a piece of
string that was attached to his
belt and to the balloon. The
string was so long that the bal
loon reached the ceiling. May
be she was trying to save on
his suspended costs.
During the 1948 MB dance one
coed, who was evidently the
outdoor type, weighed down her
abused date's shoulders with skis,
toboggans and other sports
sports equipment that denoted
winter and the sports that go with
it.
