Ag Transportation
The Ag-city transportation
situation is in the process of
being investigated by Univer
sity Builders.
Before any action is
taken to the Student Council
or the Administration, the
. group is sending out question
naires to 911 Ag college stu
dents. The questionnaires include
the following questions.
1. Would yon patronize an
efficient transporation system
between the campuses?
2. Do you drive a car be
tween campuses now?
3. Would you use a trans
portation system between
campuses even though you
have a car?
Would you use it:
a. All the time or,
b. only in bad weather?
4 Do you feel the present
system is adequate for your
needs?
5. Which.' hours would you
use such a system according
to your schedule this semes
ter? C. Other comments.
"Everyone on Ag campus
must co-operate if this is to
be a valid reporrt," said Car
yl Craven, Ag publicity chair
man. The information is due in
the Ag Student Unioa by No
vember 17.
The transportation problem
between campuses has in
creased during the past year
for several reasons. One of
them is that the city bus lines
Educator
From Africa
Tours State
Christopher Bell, education
al leader in Africa, toured
the University Tuesday as
part of a survey of the edu
cational system of Nebraska
schools.
The Director of Education
of Uganda and a British Pro
tectorate in East Africa, Bell
it a member of the British
Protectorate in East Africa,
BeH is a member of the
British Overseas Education
Service and has spent 25
years 'as a government ad
ministrator of education in
Africa.
Bell was familiarized with
the University's unique cor
respondence study for high
school students and its pio
neering in the teaching of sci
ence through television.
The administrator ex
plained that Nebraska bears
a close resemblance to Ugan
da in area and that be hoped
to find procedures, policies
and systems in education that
could be implemented is the
protectorate.
Bell and Ms wife, mho are
making the tour through a
Carnegie grant, will visit
schools in Syracuse, Phillips,

periods at the beginning of

The book store in the Un
nion will stock over 900
paperbacks, however.
"Both locations wtH re
main open and fully staffed
until the Old Administra
tion Building is torn down,"
Campbell pointed out.
Anticipation
The new location across
from the Student Union
barber shop was chosen in
anticipation of this razing
and for the purpose of pro-
last spring cut down on the
frequency of the buses going
to and from campuses.
Another factor is the open
ing of a wing of Burr Hall
this year to house girls, who
are not necessarily Ag ma
jors and therefore have aD
their classes on city campus.
The Builders feel that ac
tion needs to be taken to as
sist students in the problems
which affect their study and
activity schedules, Miss Cra
ven said.
After the survey is complete
the committee will study the
results and make suggestions
for improvement or put it
before another group for
study or action.
Downs Out
For First
Four Weeks
Over One Thousand
Students Get Slips
Some 1,200 to 1,300 Univer
sity students received down
slips for their four week's
classroom work, according
to Dean Lewis Fowles of Stu
dent Affairs.
He noted that this number
"is about average for this
period."
The 10 weeks scholastic re
ports will probably cause
more down slips to be sent
out, Fowles predicted. Be
said be made his approxima
tion according to past rec
ords. There are no actual records
kept on the number and kind
of down slips sent o ut, he
said.
"Let's face it; some in
structors don't put out re
ports at four weeks. They
need 10 weeks to judge the
student's work. Several in
structors weren't able to give
hour exams in time to file
scholastic reports this time,"
he explained.
Fowles said his Job does
not end after the dowa slips
have beea forwarded to the
students.
"We see a number of peo
ple from now on to review
their records, counsel, al
vise and help them in any
way we can. We see both
the freshman student whose
transition from high school is
usually awkward and the up
perclassman who has had
scholastic trouble in the
past," Fowles noted.

building, this fall finds several changes
being made on the city campus. Gradu

it, the University Is growing. DOWN

Magee Joins
Agricultural
Hall of Fame
The Nebraska Hall of Ag
ricultural Achievement will
honor Wayland W. Magee for
his outstanding contributions
to agriculture.
Magee, a longtime Ben
nington farmer, will be hon
ored at a banquet to be held
in the Student Union Nov. 17.
Dr. A. W. Epp, Hall of
Fame secretary, said Magee
is the 48th person to be hon
ored by the group since it was
organized in 1916.
Epp said that Magee was
chosen for the honor because
he has been a progressive
farmer and community lead
er throughout his life. He
also had an active part in or
ganizing many farm organi
zations in eastern Nebraska,
Epp said.
The honoree served as ag
ricultural representative oa
the Federal Reserve Board
ia Washington, D.C., under
President Herbert Hoover.
He is also a lawyer, geologist
and world traveler, Epp said.
He has a unique bobby of
exploring for uranium depos
its and has supplied many
schools and colleges with
specimens, Epp noted.
Reservations for the dinner
must be made with Dr. Epp
at the College of Agriculture.
Nearly all the fixtures
have been installed, Camp
bell said. All that needs to
be done is to rearrange
things, he added.
"The University Book
store is the students' store
and we are always open
for suggestions," Camp
bell said.
