Former Teacher
A University freshman who
waited 47 years for her chance
to attend college is having the
time of her life studying Span
ish, European history, English
and philosophy.
She is Mrs. Fern A, uearasiey,
64, who surprised her instructors
by qualifying for an advanced
section of first-year English,
something which only one out of
four freshmen usually accom
plish. Recalling her English entrance
examination, Mrs. Beardsley
said: "It didn't seem so difficult.
In fact, I had no trouble at all
until, they asked me about ger
unds. I'd forgotten there are
such things."
ADJUSTING TO student life,
Mrs. Beardsley 'Jound, required
both courage and patience.
"At first," she said, "I was
uneasy embarrassed, you might
say attending classes with 18-year-olds.
And the students
shied away from me; left vacant
chairs on both sides of me. But
that's over how. They treat me
like a fellow-student."
But how is Mrs. Beardsley do
ing with her class work?
"I have to study pretty hard.
I'm not the top student in my
classes, but I feel that I'm doing
about average work," she said.
i
IN ENGLISH, she has to write
"IT IS expected that each
student from abroad will be the
guest of an American student
or faculty member. Some of
them may want to have two or
three persons as their guests.
"It is our hope that not a
single one of our overseas stu
dents, of whom there are 168,
will be without an invitation
from a faculty member or stu
dent. Plans to this end are go
ing forward.
"What is the value? It goes
without saying that this is one
way to build international good

"Mortality in Taxation."
All University students may
attend the banquet , which will
begin at 6 p.m. '
CHICK BATTEY,, president of
the Business Administration
Council, said, "As a result of the
interesting nature of the Gover
nor's Rpeech, the members of the
Council urge students from
every college to take advantage
of the opportunity to hear him
express his views on this im
portant current topic."
Crosby has said he is pointing
his speech toward all students
and feels that the banquet af
fords him a fine opportunity to
address a representative group
of the student body.
Entertainment will be pro
vided by Carol Unterseher, Lynn
Holland and Leigh Cartwright.
Ticket sales will begin Mon
day and may be obtained in the

Classified 'Danceable'
Ohio Applauds;
"A dance band that can com
pare with any of the top name
bands," is the way Bruce Min
teer, disc jockey for a KNUS
Wednesday program, "Timeout,"
describes the Sauter-Finegan or
chestra. "Although the band has been
featured for its novelty music,
the Sauter-Finegan outfit plays
pre-dominantly dance-type
music," Minteer said, "and bet
ter than 80 per cent - of their
music is dance music."
THE KNUS disc jockey heard
the Sauter-Finegan orchestra
when they were playing at the
"Meadowbrook" in New York
this summer. Minteer believes
the Sauter-Finegan group to be
the "most popular band in the
New York area."
He also said that the band was
liked in "both fields of music;
dance and novelty types alike."
SAUTER-FINEGAN'S "dance
ibleness" was evidenced when
Ohio State students called him
back for a full hour of encores
following a dance at that campus
last week.
On the strength of their Ohio
State reception, the University
of Missouri tried to schedule
an engagement with the group.
Because of earlier bookings,
however, Sauter-Finegan could
not accept the offer.
The band, organized eight
months ago, has risen to fourth
place in nation- wide dance band
popularity polls.

to put her four brothers through

unfair to send her. So she
shelved the idea.
MRS. BEARDSLEY decided to
come to the University after the
death of her husband in April
of this year. She has no children
and none of her relatives live
near Clarks. -
"Some of my younger relatives
thought the-idea was great, but
my older relatives considered
the whole scheme a crazy idea.
But I wanted to go to college.
My husband (the late George
Beardsley) was a well-educated
man. He had a Master's degree.
His education gave him a great
deal of pleasure. And I made
UP my mind to obtain a little of
that pleasure," she said.
Mrs. Beardsley doesn't know if
she'll complete four years at the
University for her degree.
"It all depends on . my health
and if I get as much enjoyment
out of my studies as I do now.
If all works out well, I think
I'll get a Bachelor of Arts de

New Plan
Advocated
By Benson
States To Take -Responsibilities
By WILLIE DESCH
Staff Writer
The Eisenhower administra
tion plans to ask the states to
assume greater responsibility in
stabilizing and promoting the
nation's agricultural prosperity,
Secretary of Agriculture Benson
said. There is controversy over
this matter because of the finan
cial status of the Southern states
at the present time.
A plan of agricultural re
search should be added and the
states should assume the respon
sibility of such a plan, added
Benson.
Support From Butler
The proposed reorganization
plan set up by Secretary Ben
son is being supported by Sen.
Hugh Butler of Nebraska.
Butler said that he did not
believe that Benson would do
anything to hurt the Soil Con
servation Service and, if any
thing, this reorganization plan
would help the farmers. Dwight
Griswold, junior Nebraska sen
ator, had "no comment" on Ben
son's plan. v

present high, rigid price supports.

tickets for the 1953 Military Ball
will be $3 per couple, com
pared to $3.60 last year.
Bailey said the reduction of
the ticket price was made pos
sible because Neighbors, is still
a rising star in his field." He
added, "The only reduction of
this year's Military Ball will be
the price of the ticket. The qual
ity of the music will be the
same as in years past."
NEIGHBORS IS currently

Control Versus
So7 Conservation Changes
May Disrupt Efficiency
State planning rather than plan
ning on a national scale is one
disadvantage to changing of the
soil conservation program from
federal to state control, Richard
Ford, agricultural extension econ
omist, said in an interview Tues
day. Ford, who has just returned
from a five-day National Outlook
Conference in Washington, D. C,
cited the Missouri Basin program,
which includes many states, as an
example. Because some states
might forget others, there could
be five or six different approaches
which might not add up to the
process of studying the sorority
world," she continued, "and Pan
hellenic Week is simply a linking
organization. Your ideas must be
well founded, for they will stay
with, you during your active mem
bership and in later years as an
alumna."
In connection with Panhel

Helen Snyder, assistant dean of
