Why Five Bucks?
Why does a Cornhusker cost five dollars"?
We have been asked that question so many times by stu
dents that the editorial column today is being devoted to try
ing to answer it to the satisfaction of all of us.
OK, so the Cornhusker costs five dollars. Let's break
that down. For this year and last year, printing costs alone
total $3.64 per book. The cover costs another 65 cents per
nook. The engraving (the making of cuts for pictures) comes
to approximately $2 per book. Those three costs alone add up
to $6.29. But, the yearbook also has to pay for the expensive
paper used in printing the book, the office supplies, photo
graphic equipment, visual education department services,
and salaries of the staff members.
At a conservative estimate, it costs the yearbook at least
six dollars to put out each Cornhusker.
There are 2.000 books being printed this year. That
means that the Cornhusker, to pay expenses, has to take in
more than $2,500 above the subscription price, because each
book costs more than the student price of it. This additional
$2,500 comes from three sources : organization space sold to
organized houses and campus activities; advertising (of
which there is comparatively little in a yearbook) ; and from
the class and organized-house pictures taken at the Miller
and Paine studio. These pictures cost the student $1.75 for
one and $3.00 for two. Of this, only ten cents per picture goes
to Miller and Paine, and the rest goes to the Cornhusker to
defray expenses. Hence the big difference between the Wes
leyan college yearbook picture cost of 25 cents, and the uni
versity cost.
Even when we know what the money goes for, five
bucks still seems like a lot of money. It's a fact, tho, that the
yearbook came out even last year, with nothing left over.
Staff bonuses and salaries are set by publications board and
it is no longer possible for the editor and business manager
to end up the year with a new car as it was not so many
years ago.
Five bucks it is, and so long as engraving and printing
costs remain at their present high level, there isn't much
possibility of a change.

1 CCNVGEHQSATTDON 3
By Don Grube
Columnists or inane writers, as you will, are
continually wondering if enough people are read
ing their columns, and I am no exception . . .
however I have arrived at what I consider a fair
ly reliable method to encourage the public. I
propose to print at least one of the examination
questions for every subject offered at the Univer
sity of Nebraska. . .
Snow-time is almost here, and with the coming
of winter the NRO's are expecting some glistening
evenings ahead. Tobogganing, ice skating and
sleigh rides will spell romance for the students.
Magic white nights mellowed by the fragance of
pines and burning wood are perfect for falling in
love. We hope to bring Sun Valley with all its
splendor and glamour right here to the university
campus . . . this is going to be a terrific project,
we ask the co-operation of "all hands." . .
IT IS RUMORED. . .
That John Host has had a quarrel with lovely
Mary Ann ... it seems he refused to tell her she
was the most beautiful girl on the campus. . . A
good catch for the girls would be Bill Kemnitz.
He hasn't been dating many of the co-eds and I
feel certain that if he found one he liked he
would really be true to her . . . that would be
unique and revolutionary. . . When Darrell Kus
sow walks it's with Rosemary . . . the last name
is superflous, extraneous, and Peterson. . . Don
Minster and Sheldon Cooper have been practising
mental telepathy . . . 'beware girls . . . you don't
have to give them your telephone number . . .
they simply place their hands over their eyes, look
completely mysterious, and it comes to them. . .
Gamma Phi, Tootsie Campen is slightly crazy
about her "Howie." . . I hope the printer doesn't
omit any words this time. . . I would hate to have
him leave out, "about her Howie." . . Someone
is in love with out, Virginia Reider ... if you
are interested in finding out who it is . . . see me,
LETTERIP
The revival of the Awgwan as the uni
versity humor magazine was received en
thusiastically last year. The publication
managed to adhere to its primary purpose
humor. Students could enjoy the slap
stick comedy that it offered without read
ing malicious slander concerning individuals
or organizations.
The Awgwan issue released this week
violated this essential purpose. Original wit
and humor were cast aside for flippant bits
of sarcasm concerning problems that have
no business being discussed in a university
publication of this type.
The purpose of the latest issue was to
agitate differences between affiliated and
unaffiliated groups plus a few pros and
cons regarding racial questions. Granted,
these subjects are problems to be consid
ered and to be discussed intelligently. How
ever, they are not subjects to be debated in
the sneering manner that was used to com
pletely de-humorize the Awgwan.
Not only is it inappropriate to use the
college humor magazine to discuss these
problems, it is an insult to the intelligence
of UN students to discuss them in such a
manner.
A few more such issues of this magazine
will develop useless ill-feeling between
groups. Weighty problems should be dealt
with thoughtfully and seriously on pages
other than those of the Awgwan.
Virginia De Forest.
and we will go out to some nice quiet place for
dinner . . . and talk it over.
If I make this column any longer, this last
paragraph will end up between two advertise
ments encouraging the purchase of "Petite Shoes
for Large Feet" and "Dresses for the Thinner
Freshmen" . . . therefore I close, wishing you all,
good luck, good health, and good-bye. . .

Coming Soon! The New
1946 Aeronco "Chief"
Watch for Announcement!
BY BET KING.
Another weekend rolls around
and finds Saturday night party
night. What with the Phi Psi
house party, the Alpha Chi party,
the SDT pledge party, and the
AOPi costume party it looks like
a big night.
The Phi Psi party is attracting
hosts of those golden arrow girls.
The perennial duo of Kathy Legge
and Bog Tagt was to be expected.
Something new has been added,
however, with the pairing of Anne
Whitham and Mark Boettcher for
the party. Adding a little variety
to the deal will be DU George
Liggett (he has friends) with
Pi Phi Nancy Baker.
Candyland.
The Alpha Chi's went to
Candyland for the theme of their
party. The constant combo of
Betty Chipman and Mart Pesek,
Sig Chi, will turn out for the af
fair. Mary Lou Plouf will be
there with Chuck Gleason. That's
one of those deals that gathers
momentum as it goes along. Eleise
Seright, who is seen continually
with Phi Gam Don Kleinschmidt
doesn't believe in changing at this
point. Saturday night will be an
other in a long line of dates for
them. Jan McElwain and Gloria
McCullough are using the party
as sort of a farewell gesture to
their two lieutenants, Frank Lacy
and Bill Snow, who are receiving
their discharges in the too near
future.
The AOP's have favored the
Navy all year long, and their
house party is no exception. Mary
Lou Bohner will have NRO Bud
Healy in tow for the deal. While
sisters Lcoda Nispel and Katty
Henderson will be seen with
NRO's Dale Jennings and Ken
Halsey.
Saturday is the night for indi
di vidua Is to give parties. Mary Jo
Gish is throwing one for all the
DG seniors, just proving that it
pays to be a senior any way you
choose to look at it. Speaking of
the Gishes, what sailor is more
than interested in Nancy? An
other party meriting mention is
the one Tom Cornish, Fiji, and
some of the other fellows are
giving at the Pike for Ray Exum
who is leaving. Sounds as though
it will be fun.
Time 1969.
Friday night is the date the Sig
Chi pledges have chosen for their
ultra modern times party. It's
so ultra that the time pictured
will be about 1960. Alpha Xi
Mary Fran Irwin looks into the
future with Dean Krasomil, while
sister Claire Wodder with Vaughn
Johnson looks over her shoulder.
Key gal Ruth Korb will relax
from Awgwan duties (and it's
something to get away from) with
Bob Van Sant. Sieg Kallos has
little Deegee Julie Rathbone lined
up for the evening. The party
provides Wilma Kruse with a
good excuse to journey from
Omaha to join pinmate Bob Wal
lin for the evening. Another
pinned couple taking in the fun
will be Bill Heintzelman and Jo
Steinbrecker, Alpha Chi.
The Mortar Board party is al
ready the talk of the campus.
The other day three gals tripped
up the steps of the Phi Psi house
and chirped in unison to an un
suspecting Phi Psi, "Will you go
to the Mortar Board party with
us?" Marilyn Lowe of the Tri
Delt house also believes in getting
her date for the big deal early.
She has asked ATO Don Barry.
Rumor has it that Tri Delt's
Kay Darlington is a whiz
at fortune telling. She told Bette
Gayer that she would receive a
proposal within two days. Sure
enough, on Wednesday Bette got
a letter with the predicted pro
posal. That's ijuick work.
Another DU, Bill McCormick,
has a deal of another kind with
Pi Phi Genene Mitchell. Seems
Bill reminds Genene of an old
flame of hers. That's one way to
a girl's heart.
