Nfteporls of Social Events
Every campus organization will
be required to submit an antic
ipated budget and a final finan
cial report of social functions to
the Student Council, according to
a resolution passed by the Coun
cil Wednesday.
The resolution, proposed by
Jack Selzer, affects any 'func
tion for which tickets are sold to
persons outside the membership
of the organization concerned.
It provides that an estimate of
expenditures be submitted two
weeks before ticket sales begin.
It also states that a complete
budget be turned in 30 days after
the function. Either of the budgets
may be printed in the Dally Ne-
braskan at the discretion of the
Student Council.
SELZER ALSO PRESENTED
an unofficial estimate of Military
Ball finances. The estimate in
dicated that the Military depart
ment realized a profit of $383.41.
The revue came from the sale of
596 tickets at $3 to persons in
uniform, 708 tickets at $4 to ci
vilians and 758 tickets at 75c to
spectators.
Expenditures included federal
tax at $964.91, coliseum rent at
$876.83, permanent decorations at
$226.42 and invitations at $236.56.
A report from A. J. Lewandow
ski on seating in the football sta

ler. The Council adopted a reso
lution approving the plan.
Water Officials
Bein 3-Day
Meeting Here
More than CO small community
water commissioners came to the
University Thursday to begin a
three-day conference sponsored
jointly by the University, the
League of Nebraska Municipali
ties and tho Nebraska section
oof the American Water Works
association.
Prof. Niles II. Bernard of the
engineering college explained
that the purpose of the sessions
is to offer practical advice on
pnpincermrr. sanitation and rou
tine problems arising in munic
ipal water plant operations.
Addressing the opening pro
gram at the Union, E. C. Reed,
associate chief of the University
Conservation and Survey divis
ion, reported that a cooperative
state-federal ground water sur
vey has already proved helpful
to about 75 per cent of the
state's municipalities.
Since 1930, survey workers
have drilled more than 2,200 test
holes in Nebraska, varying in
depth from 60 to 700 feet. Event
ually, Reed said, the study will
produce information not only
useful to those interested in do
mestic water supplies but to ir
rigators and farmers as well.
Among those participating in
the program are Dr. W. S. Petty,
state director of health; T. A.
Filipi, state sanitary engineer;
and L. C. Vos, laboratory direc
tor of the State Department of
Health. Dean Roy M. Green of
the Engineering college will ad
dress the banquet session of the
group Friday at the Union.
IN GENERAL, THE plan will
seat all students in the East Sta
dium with two blocks reserved
for faculty and two for single ad
mission. Free tickets issued to
football players will be on the 50
yard line. N Club members will
be seated on the 35-yard line. In
nocents, Mortar Boards, Corn Cobs
and Tassels will have sections on
the 50-yard line.
Scats will be reserved for 9,000
students. This was the figure al
located last year.
The Athletic office will issue a
different type of ticket in 1949.
The ticket will be punched at
the gate and will carry the stu
dent's signature.
COUNCIL PRESIDENT Dale
Ball asked that the committee con
tinue work on seats for student
wives and methods of preventing
sale of student tickets to non
students. The committee will also
look into a plan for organizing a
permanent card section to be su
pervised by Corn Cobs and Tas
sels. A suggestion by Bob Wallace
that students use the south and
west as well as the east door of
Burnett Hall was approved. Wal
lace pointed out that the conges
tion at the east door presents a
fire-hazard and serious delay, par
ticularly .between ,10 and 12, a. m.
The judiciary committee ap
Dioved a petition by Mortar Bodrd
for a women's election in the
spring.

Iowa U Installs
Nov Liberal
Arts Program
A new major which will pro
vide students with an integrated
program of study in philosophy,
history, literature and social sci
ences has been estbalished in the
College of Liberal Arts at the
University of Iowa.
The course was described as
one which "will give students a
chance to come in contact with
fundamental problems of human
life and to see how certain great
minds have dealt with them."
Backbone of the new major will
be the seminar courses at the
junior-senior level. Four semes
ter courses have been planned:
"Myth and Reason," "The Good
Society," "Nature and the Nature
of Man," and "Values in the Con
temporary Society."
The class is conducted after the
Socratic method with two or more
professors participating in the
discussion.
All students interested in
writing sports for The Daily
Nebraskan are asked to come
to the; Rat office and see the
torts editor about working, No
experience, is needed. There, is
plenty of room for all the peo
ple that apply.

Despite Fame
Bcncke Insists
He Can't Sing
Tex Beneke who will bring his
orchestra to the Junior-Senior
Prom on March 4 admits to be
ing a pretty good saxaphonist, but
insists that he can't sing, despite
the fact that his vocal records for
RCA Victor have sold many mil
lions of copies.
Tex wasn't discovered as a
singer until 1938, months after he
joined the Glenn Miller orchestra.
The band was on tour in New
England, and Miller, troubled with
insomnia, was feigning sleep in
the front seat of his car as Tex
took his turn at the wheel. In
order to keep himself awake Tex
started to sing "Ida, Sweet as
Apple Cider . Miller cocked an in
terested ear but said nothing.
At the next rehearsal, Miller
passed out the sheets on a new
arrangement he had made. It was
"Ida" and Miller told Beneke to
sing the vocal.
"Ah cain't sing and furthermore
ah hates singing," wailed Tex, but
Miler was insistent. The response
to Tex's vocal was so great that
today, over a decade later, Tex is
still playing and singing that ar
rangement of "Ida .
One of Tex's vocal records,
"Chattanooga Choo Choo", with
Glenn Miller's orchestra sold al
most two million copies on Victor
records, and his vocals wilh his
own band are top record sellers,
but Tex still insists that he simply
can't sing!
