Economist Notes
Competition Lag
Students don't compete
enough, says Dr. Lowell Har
din, chairman of the depart
ment of agricultural econom
ics at Purdue, Lafayette, Ind.
And, thinks Dr. Hardin,
teachers and schools should
do something about it.
"We need to equip our stu
dents to compete more effec
tively and contribute more
fully in our dynamic soci
ety," said Dr. Hardin
Wednesday at a seminar in
agricultural economics at the
College of Agriculture.
"Students must shoulder the
responsibility not only for
technical advance, but also
for social and economic
change," Pr. Hardin stated.
"Acquisition of the necessary
understanding of science; of
economic, social and cultural
forces, is essential for the in
dividual to adjust, assume re
sponsible leadership, and
achieve excellence.
Agricultural econom
ists must contribute to im
proved methodology, tech
c i q u e s, and fundamental
knowledge."
Dr. Hardin mentioned
many well-known changes
taking place in agriculture
and emphasized these four

The students will begin

Folk Singing Group
On March Agenda
The Limelighters, often known as the "singing Mort
Sahls of the intelligensia," are appearing March 15 at
Pershing Auditorium.
The group is presenting only one program. Tickets
are $3.00, $2.50 and $2.00. All seats are reserved.
The trio, which is being sponsored by two University
students, has in the last two years become popular in
the folk song and music circuit. Music and delivery,
combined with satire and group excitement, character
ize the Limelighters.
Tickets for this program may be purchased at the
Student Union, Pershing Auditorium, and in the organ
ized houses on campus.
Formerly the mainstay of the Gateway singers, Lou
Gottlieb left that group in 1958 to return to the Univer
sity of California at Berkeley; where he received his
PhD in music.
Alex Hassilev, 27 year old linguist, is fluent in nearly
a dozen tongues and sings in nearly twenty tongues and
dialects.
Glenn Yarbrough, a vocal star in his own right be
fore joining the Limelighter, plays the classical guitar
and is the main solo singing voice of the trio.

Scholarship
Interest
The University Faculty Wives
(UFW) show their interest in
the student body through the
Nearly New Shop. This enter
prise is run to make money
for the National Educational
Defense Fund (NEDF).
The NEDF provides $9 for
every $1 that the UFW put
into the NEDF fund for pro
viding scholarships.
Mrs. Keith Broman is the
chairman in charge of the
Nearly New Shop. There are
ten members of this commit
tee and they help to obtain
articles to sell in the shop
and help in selling the arti
cles in the shop on Wednes
day nights while it is open.
Another source of articles
to sell in the shop is a faculty
tea given by Mrs. Hardin
each October. It is called a
"Bundle Tea" and each fac
ulty wife who comes is ex
pected to bring a "bundle"
of articles or something which
may be sold in the Nearly
New Shop. The UFW also
welcomes donations.
The NEDF provides loans
and scholarships for students
who prove the need and abil
ity. It is also necessary tnat
the student be studying in
one of the NEFD approved
fields. Mr. Pop is the repres
entative on this campus for
the NEDF. The UFW has
been able to make available
$10,000 for the fund on this
pampus.
The Nearly New Shop is
located at 1610 R St. and is
open between 7 and 9 p.m.,
