Survey shows 1,296 out of 2,269
ag, city voters read Hebraskan daily
By Art Rivln. 1
A total of 2,269 students, about
82 percent of the combined ag
and city campus enrollment, cast
ballots in the DAILY NEBRAS
KAN survey held Nov. 12. Results
of the balloting are as follows:
Mt Twelve hundred and ninety-
three students said they read
everv issue of the DAILY. One
hundred and forty, however, ao
not read it at all. Reading the
NEBRASKAN once a week are
students: twice. 231: three
times, 276; 229 read it four times
per week.
In response to the question,
"How many times a week do you
read a Lincoln city newspaper,"
voters answered thus: 186, not at
all; once a week, 143; twice, 122;
three times, 172; four times, 117;
five, 134; six, 119; and 1,354 every
day of the week.
"Do you approve of adding $1
to fall tuition fees for automatic
subscription to the DAILY?" Sur-
vev results show that only 768
approve while almost twice that
number, 1,476, turn thumbs aown.
Four hundred and eleven use the
coliseum facilities at present. One
thousand two hundred and eighty
do not. Those who avail them
selves of the coliseum facilities
now, however, do so on an aver
age of only twice a week.
students were asked next
whether they would use the faclli
ties If the coliseum were open
after 6 p. m. To this query, 702
answered in the affirmative. A
small plurality, 913, placed their
mark in the "no" column.
The 702 who answered "yes" to
the previous question were cut
down to only 568 for the proposal
and over 900 against when asked
if they would pay $1.50 per se
mester for a basket and towel at
the coliseum. Accompanying many
of the "no" votes was the phrase,
"no more costs!"

co-op house, tms question was
asked: "If opportunity presented
itself, would you join a co-op
house where you could eat for
from J16 to $20 per month?"
Three hundred and seventy-two
sianified their approval of the
scheme and 423 responded in the
negative. On this question, ag and
city campus votes differed. More
ags approved the plan than dis
approved. "Would you pay. $22 to $25 a
month for board and room in a
co-op?" A greater number, 439,
stamped their approval on this
proposal. Four hundred and ninety
disapprove. Many of the barb men
answering this question are resi
dents of Lincoln and live in their
own homes.
Sneaking for one hour last night
in the Student Council meeting,

the barb issues concerning tne

gan by explaining the appeal sent
to the senate committee which
asked that the election of last

proved. He said the appeal was
made on the grounds that there
had been no violation of rules bjr
the barbs.
Want clean ekction.
Members of the council contend
that since rules were broken by
all factions involved that a new
election should be held with the
stipulation that it be made aa
clean an election as possible. Chris
Petersen, progressive, council
member, stated that the council "
members were sincere in stating;
that they wanted a new election,
so that they could make it more
honest and clean.
In retaliation, Dafoe stated that
he thought the election of last
Tuesday was clean from the barb
standpoint and that people who
violated the election rules were
ignorant of the fact that they
were breaking them. He recom
mended that the persons breaking
the rule and not the whole party
be punished.
