BUD DOWNING
After all the hullabaloo about
the big weed-end in Kansas, it is
rumored that everyone stayed
right here in old Lincoln had fun
too!! East Hills was just like a
private club Saturday night
there was actually room for every
one to dance at the same time.
Don't know just what the deal
is, but the word is going around
that Sue Kent thinks she has some
sort of a priority on Keith O'Ban
non's affections. How about that
Keith???
Bobbie DeJarnette is looking
forward to a wonderful week-end
Her pinmate, Bill Kenner, will be
down from Medical school for
the homecoming dance.
Shirley Roach, mentioned here
in last week as dating roommates
in the TKE house, is now going
steady with Sig Ep Dick Way
When!! Just can't keep up with
these young sprouts.
My, the DG s are really going
to have a big blowout in a couple
of weeks. Even with homecoming
and all this week-end, they are
still finding time to work on their
"Ship Party ' which comes off a
week from Saturday night. Every
one is to come dressed. (That's
kinda nice.)
Bill Mueller, Steve Reed and
Jerry Moore wish to make it
known that they, and only they,
are responsible for one Herb
Twae. Herb has taken permanent
residence in the Alpha Chi living
room. His history is quite unique
and is known in full only by the
three above mentioned.
A few new "steadies" as of this
week-end are:
Margie Cherny and Don Spomer
Donna Burley and Bob Yar
wpod. Jo Swan and -ewey Davis.
All apologies to the DCs, the
dean of women, and whomever
else it may conce v In glancing
over my notes I find that every
one is to come to the DG party
dressed as river rats. (That's
nice, too.)

Rumor, Rumor . .
This time it's the Cornhusker. There was a question
raised in Student Council meeting last week about why stu
dents pay $3.00 for individual
The wild statement was even made by one or two members
that perhaps "someone" on the staff was going to pocket
huee sums this year from
We tried to explain the
editorial this fall. Evidently
. . . but we're patient.
In the first place, the Cornhusker is operating at pres
ent on the basis of an estimated
the staff is trying to give students a book for the same
price as last year's in spite of the fact that cover, printing
and en era vine costs have all increased. Also, more books
are being printed this year and the cost goes up for each
additional book that is printed.
Each year the yearbook business manager estimates a
budget which this year is estimated at a loss. The actual
cost cannot be presented until the book is completed and all
the pictures, printing and engraving expenses are set down.
In regard to individual pictures: Pictures last year
were $2.50. The picture studio was paid $1.25. This year
the studio price is $1.75. Only one studio submitted a bid
on the contract. At the beginning of the year, the Corn
husker staff thought the bid was too high, and so re-opened
bids. However, no other studio tried for the contract and it
had to be awarded to the one studio bidding.
Therefore, in order to get the same income from pic
tures, the book also had to up their price to $3.00.
Why should the book make a profit on the pictures?
This question may be answered by pointing out that the year
book must have this income in order to operate in order
to tav for the book. Approximate cost of each book is
$10.30. Price to students is
Another interesting fact
subsidized either by grants from the University or by stu
dent fees. Most college yearbooks are under some subsidy
system. This fact staff members verified at the American
College Press convention in Columbus, Ohio, last week.
What if the book does
is also easily answered. If at
book has made any profit large or small the money goes
directly to the Publications Board and is put into the Publi
cations fund which is used among other things, to help sub
sidize the Prairie Schooner, literary magazine of the Uni
versity, is donated each year to the Ag and City Unions for
recreational purposes. The money also provides a reserve
fund for future publication losses. In short, the Publications
Board uses the money as it sees fit.
The above statements on
stand true for the Cornshucks and The Daily Nebraskan. All
money goes through the student activities office where all
checks and vouchers must be okayed. All money in excess
of publications costs and salaries is put into the Publica
tions Board Fund . . . period.

Resignation Asked
Of Chicago Editor
A campus civil war has broken
out at Chicago's Roosevelt col-
ege. Executive members of the
college theater, in a six page
brief, have called for the immedi
ate resignation of the editor in
chief of Torch, the college news
paper. The controversy flared into the

rwo-Milc Sfjuad
Loses to Kansas
Nebraska's crippled two-milers
were given a taste of cross
country running at Lawrence
Saturday. The result was dis
asterous for Coach Weir's men,
but due to the fact that Kan
sas's fall trackmen are among the
Midwest's finest, they are far
from discouraged.
Coach Ed Weir was not dis
appointed with the showing, as
the Huskers weren't expecting to
run the route over hill and dale.
Bob Karnes, who led the Kan
sans, ran the distance on a track
against Kansas State last Wednes
day in the time of 4:43. This is
faster than his time in winning
the Big Seven meet last spring.
A boost to the distance men is
the probability that Bill Mount
ford, who missed Saturday's meet
with KU because of illness, will
be ready for the Missouri dual
Saturday morning.
Markevitch to Play Here

renowned musician and 'eelist,

critical open letter to Carlisle
Bloxom, faculty director of the
theater group, and printed an
editorial cartoon depicting mem
bers of the theater board accom
panied by a swastika.
Charges Discrimination
The student paper charged dis
crimination in casting, profes
sionalism, foolish choice of plays
and actors, and racial -discrimination
in casting and membership
in the theater group.
Student and faculty members
of the theater board replied at
once with a special brief calling
for resignations of the editor and
"the men who have flagrantly
mis-guided him." They accused
the "Torch's" staff . of being
character assassins. They also .
leveled the charge that the use
of a swastika was "not only a
smear and personally insulting to
veterans in the theater group but
a libel on every member of the
theater."
Editor Replies
The "Torch" editor replied that
professionals had been used in
student productions, Negroes had
been denied parts in certain pro
ductions ("The Little Foxes"),
and that the swastika did not re
present facism but only " anti
democracy." Since the paper is published
without faculty control or super- "
vision, and only the Student
Council can force removal of the
editor, it is unlikely the affair
will go beyond tne name calling
stage.
