Though enrollment in Agri

the same as it was last year,
over the past few years there
has been a noticeable de
crease.
Enrollment reached its peak
In 1955 with 1033 and declined i

Men Decrease
Some 644 men, compared to i jr
compared to 321 in 1957. have
registered so far. The num-'
ber of women students has i
remained steady, though the
number of men has gradually
decreased.
"There Is no question that

Dr. Franklin FMridVc. asso-;

traction.
Eldridre added that it is
more difficult to pay for the
operations of a farm. A farm
er no longer grows oats to
feed horses, but most pay
cash for tractor fuel. Me pur
chases hvbrid seed corn
rather than growin his own.
More Returning
Ddridge noted that more
graduating agriculture ma
jors are going back to farm
ing than they have in the past.
There is a real attraction to ,
farming partly because a
large number of farmers are
making good profits and the ;
cenpatkm ro longer involve ;
frm-TTO o sun-down labor.
The decreasing enrollment :
In biological sciences, of

part, medical school and vet

Physics and chemistry hav
been stressed recently and
students interested in science
turn to thee fields. It is also
possible that high school son- ;
iors are not encouraged to
continue work hi biological
science
Requirements Raided
Ag college requirements
have been raised: students
are above the average, with
fewer in the bottom quarter
and more in the upper quar
ter, in comparison with the
whole campus. Eldridge said.

New Sport Makes Campus Debut
Bj Diana Maxwell
Shrieks of laughter from behind se
curely locked doors and pulled diapes
heralded their coming.
Smuggling them into rooms so neigh
bors up and down the hall would not stage
a raid became favorite sport of campus
coeds.
The days oi secrecy are now over. The
hula hoop has come out into the open.
A grey-haired woman on a bus descnfed
how she had kept the hoop spinning for 12
minutes by taking it out to Capitol Beach
where she could d:g her feet into the sand.
The young son of a Spanish professor
demonstrated the techniques of leaping
through the hoop as it rolls along the
ground. For the 5 ft. tall or under class
the hoops perform the function of a jump
rope admirably.
But for the campus coed, the number
one reason for purchase of the hoops, was
excess inches. Wildly gyrating reducing
salons have sprung up in sorority and
dorm rooms wherever a hoop is housed.
The Kansas Stale Collegian described
the object of hula hooping as "to keep it
going in a circular motion around the body
without letting it fall to the ground."
' Actually the motion is a backward
forward one, but it appears circular to the
on-looker," the Co'legian went on.
Not many coeds have yet found the
courage to demonstrate their "hooping"
prowess in male company, but Lincoln
froiit yards are brimming with the 6-12
year-oid set hooping with the ease of a
proiessional.
When one reaches the degree of perfec
tion these kids have ia spinning the hoop
around the mid section, next step is to
gradually work the hoop down to the
thighs, the knees, then the ankles and
back up again. The trick is to keep the
thing spinning.
