Page 4 The Nebraskar, Wednesday, April 5, 1961 High School Farmers Invade Ag Campus for Convention Approximately 2,000 mem bers of the Future Farmers of America (FFA) club will attend their state convention at the Ag College Thursday and Fndav.. According to M. G. Mc Creight, assistant professor of vocational education and con vention co-ordinator, it ap pears that these members win be coming from 131 state nigh schools. "Thii year we even haw members coming from Har rises, Neb., which is the last town oa Highway 21 before the Wyoming border," said Prof. McCreight. FFA boys, who are coming to attend convention sessions and demonstrations and to compete in various contests, will stay in local hotels and note Is or commute from near-by towns, according to McCreight. Conscience fCorttaved Iron page t) like to make oarseh-es think. Do we shew a respect and admiration for the tra ditions of India or aay oft. r country? Are we gaflty of a sing the phrase "camel driver" once too oftea? De we tar a good beartv Mid western "HP or "Howdy" to oar foreign friends or d we, for the large part, ig nore them? It has bee said that to ignore a man ft the greatest rasmlt one eaa d aim, simply becaase it de aries bis existence to oar eyes. How can we deceive ourselves, which is precise ly what we are doing, in ig noring any man from aay had to today's society? To sample only part of a poet's works is unfair to the sweetness of bis mix bet a Walt Whitman I find a cur ious passage to which aa idealistic internationalist can still aspire in his "Pas age to India": 'Tear at whose wide-flung door I sing! Year of the puprpose accomplished ! Year of the marriage of continents, cfc mates, and oceans! So mere doge of Venice now wedding the Adriatic.) I O year in yoo the vast ter raqueous globe given and giving all Europe to Asa, Africa join'd, and they to ' !:.

In a day when the ideal ism of a Federal Adminis tration seems to be sweep tog the nation with its ap peal for personal scri5ce akin to a pioneering spirit which swept osr forefath ers from the comforts of their Eastern seaboard homes into the damnable prairies which are now ocr comfortable homes, it is not waEkeJy that this idealism might rekindle some of that elegant spirit here in Ne braska.

One Contest at Fremont All convention activities, said McCreight, will be held on Ag campus except the meat judging contest which will be held in Fremont. "The winners of the public speaking contest and of the livestock, poultry, dairy cat tle and products judging con tests will be eligible to com pete at the national conven tion in Kansas City later on this year," said Prof. Mc Creight Other activities wcrade business-legislative meetings involving tw delegates from each of the representative high schools and a banqoet Friday Bight, sponsored by hill west of McCook. My father and his brothers helped to break acres upon acres of sod on the family land. Even in my boyhood on the family farm I can recall the native grass be ing plowed under to increase Nebraska's contri bution to the war effort. And I am but a boy in a rate mhich was influencing national politics well over a hundred years ago. Nebraska has been the liberal conscience of a lib eral nation many different timet in the past.

Highlighting the convention activities will be the presen tation of the State Farmer Awards, which is the highest honor an FFA member can receive on the state level, ac cording to McCreight Winners of other contests and demonstrations will re ceive plaques, ribbons and FFA foundation cash awards, he said. The Future Farmers of America is an organization designed to promote greater interest and activity in farm ing. "The University's depart ment of vocational education does not direct FFA activi ties,' said McCreight "bat rather it is the job of the state department of education and the division of vocational ed ucation." McCreight explained that the University department makes aS arrangements for the state conventioa. uistA uiange Meet to April 12 1 The Universitv Student Education Association! i c .vdA f nieeung wtu oe j aner vacation, dui nary changed from today to AprJjpmning. 12 because of the Association of Childhood Education Inter national ( ACE Convention.
