NIGHT NEWS EDITOR What Nebraska Needs . . . Nebraska, the "White Spot" of the nation. Nebraska, where a direct sales tax doesn't bother the citizens. Nebraska, where state appropriations for useful pur poses must be cut drastically because of lack of state funds. The "White Spot?" Nuts. Governor Peterson's recommended cut in the proposed university budget was, ostensibly, necessary because of a lack of state funds. Possibly a good way to line the state's treasury would be to institute a direct sales tax. Most of the other states have this type of a tax system, and it seems to work out well for them. Ofcourse, there are always gripes from the citizens about having to shell out those extra pennies every time they purchase some thing. It may be inconvenient, but it is a fair way to tax every one evenly. We think it is about time for the state to adopt the direct sales tax. It is small comfort to be called the "White Spot" of the nation when things like university budgets must be arbitrarily cut to fit into an already-tight state spending program. Cub Clem.

We always thought the Chi O's were pretty hot numbers but Monday night proved it. The brazen K. Sigs barreled up in their shiney, new fire truck and put many old flames out of com mission. The evening was par ticularly harrowing for Marge Sheridan who retreated down the street with F 1c Howard Jensen in pursuit. Some say it never would have happened if the wiley seniors hadn't left the other girls alone and unprotected. Monday night also brought the Phi Psi's out in the open for a round of serenades. The sing fest was complete with trumpeters and director Herb Jackman. A backward look at the week end shows Jean Crain and Joe Morgan depositing their spurs at the bar via the Phi Delt Western party. Also there were pardners Bcrvl Lotspeich and Jack Mee han, Phyl Harris and Paul Bloomer. Almost forgot to acknowledge the new Tussle Queen of 1949 Marilyn Coup.

Mintv.nro nf a nnssible on hand last night for the opening session of the Consti tutional Assembly. These delegates listened to a keynote speech given by Hugo Srb, clerk and parliamentarian of Nebraska's unicameral legislature. Tehy elected a perma nent convention chairman and secretary. They then ad journed to meet in the five committees to study the various phases of student government. Thus started tne uonsuiuuonai Asaemuiy. xi ia u early in the game, of course, to predict failure or success, but observers of last night's beginning session could com ment optimistically on the bases of the delegates' intelligence approach to the assembly, their interest and their willing ness to get at the heart of the matter through the commit tee meetings. Ninety-one .students representing a wide variety of student organizations and the possible many sides of student thinking set out to show to the camJus that students can produce student government and are entitled to that government. In actuality there is no student government on the university campus at the present time. There is still a r;i K,.f it hoc Wn rrinnled bv administrative denunci- ation as "unrepresentative" tion by having its spring elections canteucu. ouui a equa tion is unfortunate, indeed, but, nevertheless, it is a very real situation. It is the hope of The Daily Nebraskan that the Consti tutional Assembly will, if nothing else, show to both faculty and students what students themselves can do in the field of student government. Assembly Continued from Fage 1) UNESCO conference speaker, Sor- nn inn sfpnned brusklv to the speaker's stand, pounded the gavel and announced that ne accepiea the position. However, he warned iha Acmhi.v that he assumed the office with two strong prejudices. "THE FIRST prejudice is against unfairness and the second against unnecessary delay, sor enson told applauding delegates. His first official act was to ap- nnint Rnh Wallace narliamenta- rian. Nominations were then opened for a permanent secre tary. A motion to unanimously elect Jan Lindquist to the post was made with a haste which seemed to illustrate an equal distance of delay on the part of the dele gates. With charge to the committees to consider carefully and well their grave responsibility for the future of student self-determination, Sorenson stepped from the speaker's platform. Committees formed quickly under the yellow placards which indicated their seating arrange ments. Permanent officers were elected, Student Council constitu tions distributed and the work of each group outlined. AT 9 P. M. dripping delega tions grubbed out their cigaretes, wiped their brows and left the ballroom to study their individual problems and get student reac tion before tomorrow's session. Committees and their chair men and secretaries are: Student-Faculty Relationships, Frank Loeffel, chairman; Mary Helen Mallory, secretary. Council Powers and Procedure, Winton Buckley, chairman; Shir ley Allen, secretary. Student Bill of Rights, Ruth Sorenson, chairman; Jeanne Ma lone, secretary. Representation, Chuck Bergof fen, chairman; Mary Lou Horst man, secretary. Political Parties and Elections, Ray Simmons, chairman; Nancy Jensen, secretary.

Ham burger varies from five to seven cents. OU charges 25 cents; others 18 to 32 cents. Twenty-eight cents will buy Swiss steak there, but other universities pay 30 to 55 cents. An egg salad "sandwich there and at two other schools cost the purchaser 15 cents. The cost at the other schools is five to ton cents more. The seven-cent milk charge at OU is low, with other schools one to three cents above. Soup costs compare favorably. Eight cents there, five to 15 cents elsewhere.
