Circulation Managrr
An Explanation ...
Because of the number of misguided rumors which have
been circulating about the campus concerning' staff report
ers and workers on the three student publications The
Daily Nebraskan, Cornhusker and Awgwan we take this
opportunity to clarify said positions and to state their rela
tion to the student body.
All three are student publications, and as such, are to be
operated by the students themselves with the help of a fac
ulty advisor. A Publications Board, composed of students
and faculty members, is then established to handle admin
istrative matters and to select the staffs through application.
Contrary to public opinion, the publications in question
do not retrict staff positions to journalism students. Any
student, regardless of the college course he is pursuing, has
the opportunity and right to apply for staff positions on
any of the three publications.
This policy is followed in an effort to obtain any and all
students interested in publication work, keeping in mind
that in this way the respective staffs will include those most
interested in newspaper, yearbook or magazine work.
Many arguments have originated from the above state
ment, and after thoroughly covering the pros and cons, the
"powers that me" thought it advisable to place the publi
cations on their own.
One of the main advantages to the plan is in giving all
departments on the campus an equal chance at staff repre
sentation. '
So knowing the editor, having an "in" with the Pub
Board or being a journalism major doesn't mean a great
deal. A little skill, more knowledge, and a lot of patience
goes much farther.

BY WALLY BECKER.
Bossie Hall dozed fitfully in
the midday heat, flicked her au
ditorium at an upstart bulldozer
near her flank, then stirred and
grudgingly rose to her feet as
irritating colonies of students
swarmed over and down her
steaming flanks.
It was noon.
Even Axel Smorgasbord, fresh
man, knew it was noon, by jim
miny. Professor and class, kit and
kaboodle, Miller & Paine had all
just left in a body (by Fisher,
Axel shrewdly deduced as the
flashy chrome and maroon Buick
convertible pulled away). Besides,
the strikingly beautiful, remark
ably handsome, 17 bevel concrete
sun-dial on his wrist (valedic
torian gift of Gustavus Adolphus
high) indicated 11:45 a. m.
Motherly Love.
"Give me five minutes more,"
Axel hummed briskly in a rich
coloratura as his bronzed, work
hardened fingers tore eagerly at
the strings binding the three-inch-lead-walled
(radioactive
proof, that is, lunch box a lov
ing housemother had thoughtfully
tucked into his Psychology And
Life, Revised.
Yes, there they all were. Indi
vidually wrapped in linoleum and
tied with fetching bergundy-and-blue
crinoline bows (sweet old
house mums) reposed the sand
'wiches. "A body's got to have proper
nourishment," the dear old body
always said. "We'll put some flesh
on those skinny ol ribs, just you
see!" She would cackle, scurrying
around the kitchen, dusting, a
floury hand on her apron and
making like Aunt Jenny.
Good Stuff.
"Jeepers!" Axel cried, "Just
what I wanted tripe, limburger
and peach marmalade on rye!"
"Goody!" Axel shilled, biting
Into a deviled egg, peanut butter
nd maraschino cherry delight.
"Yummy!" Axel yelped, clamp
ing down on a wild honey and

"Why is sweet, petite house
mums so good to me?" Axel
mused as he sampled a succu
lent eggplant on wilted lettuce,
fried eggplant, broiled eggplant,
grilled eggplant, toasted eggplant
eggplant preserves and a tasty
eggplant eclair. "Such mouth-watering
variety, too," he added.
Beginning.
But that was just the begin
ning. There were frer.ch-fried
oysters, creamed cauliflower with
just a dash of paprika, ice-cold
ravioli, seared toadstools, hominy
grits with tobasco sauce, last
Tuesday's fried mush, Quaker
puffed rice sparkies and catsup,
thick, juicy pork chops covered
with peanut butter, cabbage in
tomato aspic salad, steamed ruta
bagas, and mung souffle.
"Lovable old housemums," he
chortled, gobbling the cake (mar
ble), the ice cream (brick) and
washing everything down with a
frothy mug of cod liver oil.
They found him later when Dr.
Whitney stumbled across his inert
form in 2BH.
Housemums they took away
booked on suspicion of murder,
but before the crime doctor and
Inspector Ross, who had been
called in on the case could warn
her anything she said might be
held against her housemums

terested) blurted out impetuously,
"I just got too careless."

Dake Novotny Nebraska.
Minnesota revolt in the ranks

evident again with a variety
of former stars on the roster.
Could be Nebraska but history
certainly favors the Gophers.
I'll ride with the Huskers by
7 points.
Jim Van Landingham Ne
braska., I pick Nebraska. Min
nesota will find that our line
has more strength in it than
figures show. The difference
will be in the speed in our
backfield.
M. A. Cawood Nebraska.
Just home state loyalty.
Jack Hill Nebraska. A toss
up with the nod to Nebraska.
Both squads are unknown
quantities, but the combination
of Masterson know-how and
Husker fight may do the trick.
Pat Gilligan Minnesota. By
one touchdown, but the Ne

few bad moments.

BY DEDE MEYER.
Simplicity is certainly not the
key-word on this campus. Instead,
King Confusion reigns.
After the first week of classes,
any student who has stamina
enough to exert himself is purely
immortal. The book situation alone
is sufficient to use up a bottle of
Alka Seltzer and several boxes of
Bayer's best. Some system' should
be devised, whereby a student
need not stand in line for a solid
hour to find that the book he
wants won't be in till next week.
And registration, in the coli
seum, disguised as a concentra
tion camp, is a fit initiation to
any college year.
Lost Soul.
Take the auditorium in Sosh,
for example. The bell rings, and
anyone weighing under two hun
dred, is a lost soul. As approxi
mately 175 students frantically
push their way out of the class,
approximately 175 students just
as frantically push their way in.
Perhaps what follows is the an
swer to the old riddle of the irre
sistible force meeting the immov
able object. Isn't there some sys
tem by which departing students
Off The Record
BY JERRY COHN
' I now declare this "Buy Your
Favorite Record Week." Both
RCA-Victor and Capitol recording
outfits have announced a retail
price increase of 10 cents a plat
ter, to take effect shortly. .As a
result of this catastrophe, we are
forced to review only Columbia
records, still selling for 53 cents.

division has signed those reet
characters, The Slim Gaillard
Quartette, as well as Kate Smith,
Ziggy Elman, Johnnie Johnson,
and Rudy Vallee. Now the ques
tion arises, when are they going
to release their wares?
Lincoln will be pulling a good
share of the "name bands" dur
ing the next few months. The
Wizard of the Clarinet, Jerry
Wald, plays the Turnpike tonight,
on his way to the Hollywood Pa
ladium. On Oct. 25, the King of
Swing, Benny Goodman, takes
the spotlight. BG and his orches
tra are starred on the Victor
Borge program. If you are in the
mood for a swing concert, drop
by the coliseum Oct. 28, when
that Sentimental Gentleman of
Swing, Tommy Dorsey, brings a
35-piece outfit to Lincoln.
The Orpheum in Omaha is fea
turing Count Baste and his Ork
this week. The Count's latest Co
lumbia waxing is "Blue Skies"
and "The King." Drummer Jo
Jones leads the rhythm section on
"Skies," but the tempo varies.
"The King," dedicated to Benny
Goodman, is a fast jump tune with
good solos all the way through.
The Count is headed for California
for some movie shorts.
Everyone is singing the new
"pop" song, "Dingbat, The Sing
ing Cat," and few of them know
that it is really taken from the
opera, "Peter and The Wolf."
PICK UP CORNIIUSKERS
There are several '45 and '46
copies of the Cornhusker which
have not been claimed by the
students who bought them.
These books must be picked up
at the Cornhusker offices in
the Student Union before Oct.
1 or they wil be sold, accord

husker business manager.

while entering students could trip,
merrily and unmolested, into the
front?
Of course the fact that my ad
viser put me in five wrong classes,
is purely coincidental.
Activities Muddled.
And then there are these blood
sucking organizations, the campus
activities, which are now, in the
midst of all this muddle, attempt
ing to organize, sell tickets, adver
tise, get into print, and in other
ways generally molest the public
at large. They run explicitly on
the policy of participants-live-eat-sleep-breathe-and-die-for-the-o
r
ganization. It is inconceivable to
them that students may have more
than one iron in the fire.
But really, King Confusion is a
delightful monarch, and without
him, Nebraska U just wouldn't be
Nebraska U. So take a deep
breath, everybody. We're off on
another year, and it looks like it's
going to be a lulu!
X-ray Progress
'Satisfactory',
Asserts Means
"Very satisfactory progress'
with the student chest X-ray pro
gram being conducted by the
state health departments X-ray
unit has been reported by L. E.
Means, director of the student
health service.
The unit, which is stationed at
the rear of the pharmacy build
ing, is operating from 9 a. m. to
noon and from 1 p. m. to 4 p. m.,
and is handling from 60 to 75 stu
dents each hour.
X-Rays Required.
The health service requests
that all students who have not
appeared at their scheduled time,
call immediately at the office and
receive another appointment card.
This will eliminate much extra
work and expense in tracing
down each student who must take
a chest X-ray before his enroll
ment in the university is com
plete, according to health service
officials.
Students who do not take X
rays by Oct. 1, must then pay
their own costs, while the present
program is free and a part of
their student health service privi
leges. Saturday morning from 9 to 12
is reserved for faculty,- faculty
wives and children, and univer
sity employees. They need no ap
pointment card, but are to report
at their convenience during these
hours.
Picture Schedules
The following houses have
been scheduled for pictures at
the Reinhardt-Marsden Studio
onthe fifth floor at Gold's. Ap
