POSSIBLE DEFICII OF
$400 LOOMS IN LAST
YEAR'S CORNHUSKER
Records in Scllcck's Office
Reveal Salaries and
Bills Unpaid.
Surplus Waste Will Be
Remedied This Fall, Says
Business Head.
Present Indications in the stu
dent activity books on file at John
K. Selleck'a office point toward a
financial deficit for the 1930 Corn
busker. Accounts for the last year's
Cornhusker are not as yet closed
and although a number of copies
remain to be sold and there is still
some money collectable on ad
vertising acounts there will most
likely be a $300 or S400 deficit, ac
cording to Mr. Selleck, director of
the student activity fund.
The salaries for last year's staff
have not yet been paid but there
are no other accounts outstanding.
The present balance as shown on
the books for the Cornhusker,
however, is very small. In the
neighborhood of a hundred dollars.
Although a definite statement will
not be made until next fall there
will undoubtedly be a deficit in the
yearbook finances fpr 1930.
350 Copies Unsold.
Approximately 350 copies of the
1930 Nebraska annual remain un
sold in the basement of U hall. It
in nrobable that a laree number of
these will have to be disposed of
at a sizeable loss.
This waste will be remedied
next year, according to Mr. Sel
leck who says:
"All subscriptions to next year's
annual will be sold next fall and
nlw that number will be printed.
If we sell only 900 yearbooks, only
900 of them will De puonsnea. we
'will absolutely Drint no surplus
copies as past experience has
shown that this inevitaDiy resuiis
in an annual loss."
Rearrangement Planned.
IrnnrHingr to VftriOUS reDOrtS
the business management ' of the
annual will be placed on an en
tirely new basis next fall. A com
plete change of plans involving
the discard or previous pracuceo
ia tn hA fffrted under the direc
tion of Edwin Edmonds, business
manager for the 1931 yearbook.
The Daily Nebraskan made a
creditable showing during the first
semester last year, showing a net
nmfit nt xi. 209.29. The reports of
its financial status at the end of
the second semester are not yet
compiled, according to aeuecK.

skeptical of the actual workings of

McCleery Favors
"If summer school students look
upon the University of Nebraska
as a living institution and not a
dormant academy then there
may be some hope for student
government during summer ses
sions." begins a letter to the edi
tor of The Nebraskan from Mc
Continuing his discussion on the
matter, next semester's editor of
the student newspaper said:
"My knowledge of conditions at
summer school Is embarassingly
limited. The one great obstacle in
the way of student government de
velopment during the summer ses
sion, as I see it, is this:
"Most summer students are on
the Nebraska campus to get
some special courses, or to tin

der such circumstances, would
fail to grasp the spirit of tha

success of student goverament
"Are there not large numbers
of summer school students who
have taught for several years
and are taking work at Ne
braska at the request of their
schools? Wou?d such students
care a rap about extra-curneu-lar
affairs?
"Is there a spirit of unity, a
cognizance of common inter
ests among summer school stu
dents? I rather doubt it.
"Student government, as x
have always maintained, must
be a natural outcropping oz
