Nebraikaa Phot
toon character Pogo was used to
get a straw vote of University
student political opinion. 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.

LATE DATE
JUNIOR'S driving the combin U-night. 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-

Study To Continue
Dr. R. M. Sandstedt, Professor

will continue motion photomicro

a fellowship granted for the Corn
Industries Research Foundation
of Washington.
The fellowship, in the amount of
$8,000, is one of 20 allocated to
science centers for the coming

which industry members have
sponsored collectively since 1935.
William Brady of New York,

board of trustees, said the research
program aims to increase funda

facts about component parts of
corn, to promote broader corn re
search by science centers and to
foster scientific training.

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. BILL MURRELLS
