Message of Husker
Hold on Tiger Tail
One of the hundreds of balloons
that went sailing into the air after
the first Nebraska score last Sat

Ray Harrison, a senior in arts
and sciences, scribbled on a slip of
paper, ''We just made three points.
We got the Tiger by the tail! Ray
Harrison, Y. M. C. A., Lincoln,"
tied it to the balloon and sent the
missle skyward.
Yesterday, Harrison received a
card. It read: "Dear Friend, I
found the balloon on my place
four miles west of Crete. What
happened to the hold on the Tiger's
tail? Richard Kliment."

Nebraskan Survey Finds
Regents in Control
Of Campus Book Prices
BY HAROLD NIEMANN.
The Regents' book store makes a
clear profit of three and two
thirds cents on every dollar stu
dent pay for new and used books.
This profit has enabled the book
selling agency to allot $10,000 in
1932 for the building of the swim
ming pool in the coliseum, and
$15,000 in 1938 toward providing
kitchen equipment in the Student
Union.
Interested in the survey of stu
dent opinion by a statistics class
which found a vote of two to one
in favor of Long's bookstore over
the Regents' in handling and buy
ing of used books, the Daily Ne
braskan has analyzed every rec
ord in the offices of Charles De
Ford, bookstore manager, and L.
F. Seaton, in charge of the enter
prise. Results of the survey by the sta
tistics class show that a great
number of students call for the
elimination of profit in the Re
gents' store. After compiling the
profits for the past eight years, ths
