ARMERS' FAIR is an annual event at the College of Agriculture. It is staged entirely by students and has a three-fold purpose: to advertise the College of Agriculture and to show exhibits of its work; to bring the students of the College closer together; to give the students an opportunity to take part in the management of an activity of that nature.

     Beginning with this year, the eighth annual fair has been under a new organization known as the Farmers' Fair Association. It is comprised of the entire student body of the College of Agriculture, and is independent of all other organizations which have fostered its activity during previous years.

      It is the largest student activity in the University, requiring a larger investment of capital and comprising a larger number of students.

      Among the features of the fair are the parade down "0" street at noon, the pageant, the educational exhibits, the "Midway," and numerous other attractions.

      The fair is controlled by a board of six members, three men and three women, who are elected by the student body at large. A junior board consisting of six members of the junior class is chosen by the board and is placed at the heads of important committees of the fair.

HE first Freshman Council was organized in the fall of 1924 by Arthur Jorgensen, to promote the spirit of the Y. M. C. A. among the first year men. The group is made up of twenty fraternity and non-fraternity men, with a member of the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet to direct its activities.

     The first event that the Council sponsored was a freshman stag to create spirit for the Olympics. Because of the success of this affair, another freshman stag was held in the early spring. Pictures of the freshman class and the Olympics were shown, which, with several skits, filled the evening. The Freshman Council also helped in entertaining the teams during the state basketball tournament.

      The Council supports the Y. M. C. A. Cabinet in drives for finances, and in attendance at the World Forum Luncheons.

      At present the meetings are devoted to informal discussions concerning the interpretation and application of Christ's teachings. This body strives to bring before all members of the freshman class the ideals and practices of the world-wide student movement.
