Five New Dairy Barns
Will Be Occupied Soon
Five new dairy barns to be occupied soon will replace the old
barns which have been in use for 35 years.
The barns, one for each breed of dairy cow, were designed by
Max L. Dawdy, instructor in dairy husbandry, assisted by John
Miller, chief draftsman of the physical plant.
The new barns are reported to be the most modern, complete,
and useful in this country. They
will also be the headquarters for
Philip D. Jones, superintendent in
charge of the College's dairy
herds.
Although the barns are pri
marily shelters for the cows, they
will also be the basis of research
projects expected to answer fun
damental problems in barn design
and management.
Barns Have Fans
Features included in the barns
are the types of stalls, ventilating
systems, feed storage, handling
facilities, milking methods, and
cleaning procedures.
A huge fan on a side wall at
one end of a barn will keep the
atmosphere dry in the barn dur
ing the winter. Other barns have
similar features but are different
in design.
Another barn is designed to
permit the animals to roam in
open pens and feed from a self
feeder. In the new setup the cow
goes to the milker, rather than
the milker going to the cow.
Each Barn Different
"Haymakers," another new. fea
ture, are huge circular structures
which look like silos. They will
be filled with hay through which
air will be blown to practically
dry the hay. One barn substitutes

Hand labor has been replaced by
machinery in many instances, but
not at the sacrifice of the prac
tical methods of farmers.

Profs to Air
Foreign Tunes
Over WMAJ
Memo to the ';Old Prof of
Groovology 54," WMAJ's late
thour disc jockey: There's an ad
dition to the curriculum. Some
professorS from the Romance Lan
guage department of the School
of Liberal Arts will soon be in
the act, spinning and comment
ing on tunes which they believe
are too gbod to go unheard.
Private record' collections sup
ply- the melodies for "The Music
of the Nations," a program fea
turing tunes seldom heard on the
air. For instance, the Gaelic songs
played on the program are as
foreign from Broadway-created
Irish songs as "Too Old to Cut
the Mustard" is from Mozart.
The program specializes in the
relatively unknown music of one
land with comments from the
guest narrator-collector.
"Generally speaking," said Irv
ing Rothberg of the Romance
Language department, the pro
gram's director, "if you've heard
it on our program, you've heard
it for the first time."
Nicholas Brentin; assistant pro
fessor of Romance languages, will
inaugurate the weekly series 8:30
p.m. Monday over WMAJ with a
program of Rossini's "Slabat Ma
ter," one of the composer's lesser
known religious ,pieces.
Future programs will feature
Japanese, Belgian, Italian, and
Portugese music. This will be the
program's third year on the air.
Hillel Concert Canceled
The informal record concert
which was scheduled tomorrow
at the Hillel Foundation has been
