Pi Beta Phi and Acacia pledge classes took first prizes in sorority and fraternity divisions, and Alpha Omicron Pi and Sigma Alpha Epsilon were second. Rathjen gave few formal speeches during his visit, but spent a great deal of time taling with villagers. He said they asked a lot of questions about America. They seemed to have gained misconcep tions from movies and maga zines. Rathjen said his experience in Pakistan has interested him in the possibility of foreign work. He plans to major in Agricultural Ex tension work at the College and will take as many courses as pos sible that would fit him for for eign service. The families I stayed with all had above average incomes for that country, but nevertheless I was regarded as an honored guest and was not allowed to do any labor," he remarked. The families had no modern conveniences as plumbing and electricity. There is no free public educa cent of the population is literate, according to Rathjen. However, Rathn was impressed with their knowledge of world affairs. He said that the average Pakistani knew as much about the United States national election as most Americans did. Contrary to the American trend of families doing things together, Pakistani families do nothing to- gehter. They think American fam ily ties are weak because children leave home when they marry or begin careers. In Pakistan, when the sons marry they and their families move in with their par ents. During his ' stay, Rathjen ob served the agriculture of the coun try and found utilization of irriga tion and cultivation advancements to be the limiting factors. He also observed that the country needs more fertilizer, flood control and land reform.

He's got a date with the 10,753 new Americans who'll be born by next sundown. A birth rate that has npped oar population 30 million since 1940 while 2 million farmers have left the arm for other jobs'. - - How can 2 million fewer farmers feed 30 million more people? Machines millions of them are the tnswer. To day s farmer still has to work late when his crops are ready. But "hired hands" of steel enable him to produce more. Tractors do the work of 40 men. Grain combines reduce labor 83. .Today's farm production depends on the trouble-free operation of these machines. That's why every maker of farm tractor uses Timken tapered roller bearings; why more end more implements are using them, too. Timken bearings reduce breakdowns because they rail the load. They practically eliminate friction, require less maintenance, minimize wear to keep farm machinery on the go. Keeping farm equipment rolling smoothly is just one example of how the Timken Company keeps America on the go. We work hand-in-hand arawing-board-to-draw- ymi - -Jl il ; --i .

' Friday, January 18, 1957 HC Queens Tassels New Proceedure Approved The Student Council Judicial Committee Wednesday approved an amendment to the constitution of Tassles, womens pep organization, calling for the selection of the five final candidates for Home coming Queen to be made by a special committee. The committee will consist of three senior officers from Tas sals, the Yell King, president of Corn Cobs, the president of the "N" Club and one faculty mem ber. Any house having a junior member in Tassals will be allowed to substitute for her in the inter vews if they desire. The Judciary Committee settled, by their decision, a controversy that has raged on campus for tha past three months. On October 24, Mick Neff, vice-president of the Student Council, touched off the discussion in an editorial in which he stated it was undemocratic for such a small group as Tassals to be able to select the candidates for the leading beauty queen office on campus. In an open meeting of the Tas sels last Nov. 11, Neff suggested that the selection of the Queen candidates be made by a com mittee composed of the heads of Tassles, Cobs and Lincoln busi nessmen. After holding several meetings, both open and closed, on the is sue, Tassals submitted an amend ment to the Judiciary Committee on Dec. Shirly McPeck, president of 'Tassals, said at the time of the Judiciary Committee action that "Tassals would revise the am. mendment to include more girls and a different method of nom ination.
