Unique Program:
Ford Home
By GEORGE MOYER
Copy Editor
Henry Ford, the famed tycoon
who put America on wheels, used
to be considered a pretty shrewd
operator by the people in the auto
motive industry. However, there
was one time that Old Henry got
taken, and because he did, the
University has become unique
among the colleges and universi
ties of the nation.
Back in 1915 a Minneapolis trac
tor manufacturer hired a chief en
gineer whose last name coinci
dentally happened to be Ford. Also
coincindentally, the name of the
manufacturers product was re
named "The Ford Tractor" soon
after the young engineer settled
into the company office routine.
Because of the name, W. F. Cro
zer, a farmer near Osceola, pur
chased one of the tractors. It did
hot take Crozer long to find that
the name had nothing to do with
the value of the product. In the
eyes of Crozer, the Ford Tractor
was a collosal flop.
Other people were having their
troubles with the Ford Tractor too
and the company soon went out
of business. But Crozer became
convinced that the Nebraska farm
er should be protected from farm
tractor frauds of this kind. Conse
quently, after being elected to the
state legislature, Crozer introduced
a bill providing for the establish
ment of the tractor testing station
at the Universiy College of Agri
culture. The bill, of course,
passed, thus establishing the only
tractor testing station in the na
tion at a college or university.
Since 1920, the University t ting
station has run 632 ind idual
tests, according to Lester L irsen,

Recently the station completed
testing on the largest wheel type
tractor ever worked at the Univer
siy oval. Sporting a four wheel
drive, the monster developed 80

used for wheat farming.
The objects of the tests are
enumerated in the Nebraska Trac

1. To encourage manufacturing
of improved tractors.
2. To r e g u 1 a t e manufacturing

3. To maintain a stock of repair

4. To test tractors at an impartial

A motion recommending to the
treasurer of the Student Activites

the student body shall be used for
the social benefit of! the (campus)

heated debate in the Student Coun

The motion was introduced last
week by Connie Hurst, chairman
of the Student Activities commit

of the student activities fund, had
asked that the Student Council
clarify their position on the use of
funds by campus organizations for
social purposes.

It is interesting to note that the

farmers have been seeking to cut

use of diesel and L.P. gas, accord

The charter of the Student Tri
bunal, approved in a campus ref
erendum last spring, may have to
be resubmitted to the student
body, according to Dave Kenne,
chairman of the Student Council
tribunal committee.
"The charter needs revision in
some places. Several sections we
feel are severely inadequate and
need revision." Keene said.
In event of revisions, the char
ter would have to return to the
student body for approval of the
changes, according to Keene.
"Also, the charter printed in the
Daily Nebraskan recently was er
roneous," Keene said, "There were
several typographical errors and
one complete section was left out."
Among the questions raised 'by
the present charter, according to
Keene, is the method of selecting
the nine judges. "No provision has
been made for grad students.

of the University, we feel they

Senior holdover member, Dave
