Home Economifs:
Male Major Makes
By Sharon Stevens
Not many men in college
would consider majoring in
home economics.
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

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

In addition to his work with

in the natural resources of the

1897, retired as state geologist
and dean of the conservation
and survey division of the
University in 1953.
Students in the College of

submit preliminary ideas and
plans for the memorial struc

idea will receive an award.
The plans will then be con

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

approach to improving the

"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.

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
