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.

As I Was
s
BY PAT NORDIN.
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. Most unusual thing
about this year's event was that
everyone showed up for their
dates on time, thanks to the
weather. New twosome attending
was Mike Madden and Bev Deal.
New pinmates present were Bill
Sloan and Beth Wilson.

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.
THE COMMITTEE chairman
will now meet with the present

Food Prices
Cafeteria food prices at the
University of Omaha are lower
than those at seven other mid
west universities, according to a
recent survey made by Charles
Hoff, finance secretary.
Roast beef, pork or veal costs
a student there 28 cents, while
students at the other six schools
pay from 30 cents up to 48 cents.
One school is under the figure
with a charge of 18 cents. 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.
