In fact, there is only one man in the history of the University of Nebraska who has gone on to work on his Master's in home econom ics. Master's Degree He is John Ranney who hopes to receive his mas ter's degree in family re lations and child develop ment in June. This major has a require ment of 24 hours of under graduate home economics courses in three different fields. Ranney took undergradu ate courses in the fields of nutrition, equipment, and family relations and child development. He also took supporting NEBRASKA danced and sang a song sim ilar to those of the Three Chipmunks. Taking second place in skit competition was Pi Beta Phi. Their skit, "Killer Back in Town," was presented in mel odramatic poetry and fea tured TV personalities M a t Baterson, Marshall Mellon and Baverick. Mary Knoll di- soil and water conditions of the state. In addition to his work with soil and water surveys, he as sisted in organizing the Inno cents Society and served as chairman of the Board of In tercollegiate Athletics. Research Program Dr. Condra, w-ho initiated a vast program of research in the natural resources of the state not long after his gradu ation from the University in 1897, retired as state geologist and dean of the conservation and survey division of the University in 1953. Students in the College of Agriculture will be asked to submit preliminary ideas and plans for the memorial struc ture. The student with the best idea will receive an award. The plans will then be con sidered for use in building the memorial structure. courses in educational psy level as well as his gradu ate courses in child devel opment and family rela tions. Ranney believes that there is a future for more men in home economics. As to his reasons for en tering this field he says, "The basic core of home economics is the term eu thenics which was a word coined by the founder of home economics, Ellen H. Richards. Euthenics Science "She defined euthenics as the science of improving the human race by means of improving the home en vironment. "This philosophy ap pealed to me as the logical approach to improving the human race, particulary since Home Economics in wrv.- i Monday, February 29, 1960 rected the skit. "A Yaktale," presented by Alpha Phi, was awarded third place. This skit revolved around the women "yak packers" of a small country near Tibet. The yak-tail busi ness was the main occupa tion of these women. Suspense mounted until the women finally found out that these tails are used primarily for making Santa Claus beards in other countries. Skitmaster was Joan Bailey. Campus Queens . Alpha Chi's skit, "Title Wave," poked fun at the Skit Pictures See Page 4 large number of campus queens. The three types of sorority girls, the "sweet," the "sophisticated," and the "all-round girl" were e ach to become "Miss Sixteenth Street." The Delta Gamma skit, "Mooniversity," dealt with the problems encountered by girls on the moon. The lack of gravity necessitated courses in body mechanics for proper coordination. The Kappa's skit, "Mad ame President," 'portrayed the problems of a woman as President of the United States. After much difficulty with the job, she finally re signed her post and went back to the home "where a woman should be." Love Hall, Fedde Hall and Herbie Nore also presented Travler Acts. Prof. Rutlcdge Will Be Delegate At Science Meet Dr. James A. Rutledge, pro cessor of secondary education iand supervisor of natural i sciences, University High j School, will travel to New York City Wednesday and ; Thursday to attend an invita I tional National Science Teach ers Association Seminar. , The seminar, supported by the laboratory equipment sec-, tion of the Scientific Appara tus Makers Assn., will study the problems associated with science facilities. Its goal is to outline "the pressing needs for science facilities and to plan what SNTA can do about meeting them," according to executive secretary Robert Carleton. The two-day seminar will be held at the Hotel New Wes ton in New York City. Ag YW-YMCAs Sponsor Carnival "The Soaring Sixties," will take over at the annual Estes Carnival Saturday at the Ag Union. All organizations on ag have been invited to enter a booth and compete for the trophy to be given to the most original entry. Receipts from the tickets sold for the booths of skill will help finance scholarships for YW-YMCA members to at tend the national Estes Y Con ference. NU History cludes such a broad con cept of the home environ ment, which is food, cloth ing, shelter, management, and the psychology of hu man relationships. I happen to believe that since a man is half of every new family it appears log ical that men should be just as much concerned ag women with the home ec oinics approach to the sol ution of social problems. One of the current goals of Home Economics is to In terest more men in this field." His plans for a career are not definite but he is interested in teaching child development. He is affiliat ed with Alpha Gamma Rho fraternity and is a member of Omicron Nu, home ec onomics honorary, and Ro deo Club.
