Pieper said his appeal stemmed from Tuesday night's meeting of the Junior-Senior Class Board, at which members showed "a great deal of enthusiasm" for sponsor ing a successful prom, and thus, "justifying their existence, in a sense." Results of the poll, as reported by Pieper, indicated that, of 462 students polled, 339 favored hold ing a Junior-Senior Prom. Four hundred thirty students said they would attend the prom H a na tionally well known band were playing. If a band such as a re gionally well known band were playing, the poll showed that 191 students would attend, and 205 would not. One hundred thirty- two indicated they would attend if a local band were playing and 282 said they would not attend. Of the 462 polled, Pieper said, those favoring an informal prom totaled 322, while 119 wanted it formal. The poll also included a pref erence rating of possible places to hold a prom. The vote on this point was: Turnpike, 157; and Coliseum, 54. Pieper informed the Council that proms in past years have been "anything but successful." He said last year class officers and Class Council members un derwrote the prom and had to pay $10.80 apiece. Jim Collins, speaking as a Junior Class Council member, said he felt a "definite respon sibility" to the members of his class to make the prom a suc cess. At Tuesday night's meet ing, at which the Class Board discussed its continued exist ence, Collins said he would be "the last to resign" in case the Board felt its existence was not warranted. Other Board members at Tues day's meeting indicated that if no prom were held, there would be little reason for class officers and Council members. For this reason, Pieper said, the Board members put their full support behind the proposed prom, The proposed prom budget, Ipresented at Student .

The Red Cross lecturer was visiting one of the fraternity houses on campus to boost the drive for blood. In the course of the lecture he said, "Of course, all of you know what the inside of a corpuscle is like." Whereupon the chairman re marked, "Most of us do, but you'd better explain it for the benefit of those who have never been inside one." The hardest thing about mak ing money last is making it first.

Headlines By SALLY ADAMS Staff Writer Truman Makes Final Report WASHINGTON President Truman predicted that the United States can achieve production of half a trillion dollars annually within a decade if it beats a potentially serious threat of despression after this year. The President made this statement in his last major message to Congress, the annual economic report. Truman ignored the split in his Council of Economic Advisers which disagree on the outlook for deflation in the next three years when defense spending is due to taper off. He followed the con clusion reached by Chairman Leon Keyeserling and Robert C. Turner that if government and business move wisely and promptly to expand markets, the post-defense dip can be helu to proportions they termed "manageable." Truman's message dwelt on economic progress since 1929, a period roughly corresponding to that of his party's tenure in the White House. He emphasized the protections against economic col lapse which have been developed in that period and cautioned President-Elect Eisenhower and the new Republican Congress against reducing foreign military or economic aid "sharply or pre maturely." Watershed Bills Introduced LINCOLN A biJI for "home rule" watersheds was introduced in the Nebraska Legislature by six state senators Wednesday. The bill is designed to allow the formation of watershed districts to com bat flood and soil erosion in the areas where the dangers originate. It is a result of a Legislative Council committee study authorized after a previous watershed bill was killed by a split vote of the 1951 Public Works Committee. Under the new plan, a watershed district would be initiated by the filing of a petition with the county clerk. A majority of votes cast at an election after a public hearing would create the district. Tax Measure Entered LINCOLN The first highway revenue measure was introduced in the State Legislature Wednesday. Sen. Terry Carpenter of Scottsbluff introduced a 2 per cent sales tax bill for highway con struction. The tax would be effective from Oct. 1, 1953 until Sept. 30, 1955, with aii the revenue, above the cost of collection, scing into the highway cash fund. By matching the fund with Federal funds, it could mean $80 million for highway construction in Nebraska. The tax would apply to goods ftold at retail in Nebraska, to services such as gas, electricity and water, and to goods bought outside tha state for use in this state. cii H oun The Student Council Wednes day afternoon defeated a pro posed amendment to the by-laws of the Council's constitution which would have outlawed the use of ticket prerequisite" in choos' ing "finalists for any campus election." In its place Dean Linscott, chairman of the elections com mittee, proposed an amendment to the special elections article of the by-laws. The amendment provided: 1. "Only students with iden tification cards will be allowed to vote." 2. "A voter will be allowed to cast one ballot." 3. "A ballot may not be in cluded on a ticket." According to the Council's con stitution the proposed amendment will come before the Council at its next meeting, Feb. 4. Linscott presented the new amendment as a recommendation of the elections committee after an investigation of present ticket elections. The proposed amendment "will work," he said. "It will satisfy parties on both sides of the argu ment. It will not stop ticket bal loting, but it will stop the unfair practices earned on." He referred to charges that or ganized houses purchase large numbers of ticket ballots and dis tribute them with the name of their candidates written on the ticket. He said that he thought the three provisions would answer most of the objections of the wom en's houses supporting abolition of ticket balloting and also satisfy the organizations now using tne practice. Linscott presented tne repon of his committee on investiga tion of election methods. The committee conducted hearings at which representatives of Coed Counselors, Kosmet Klub, Builders, All University Fund and Junior-Senior Class Board presented information and opin ions concerning their respective ticket-ballot elections. Coed Counselors, the committee reported, has been "very lenient in the number of tickets allowed to one student" in voting for the outstanding booth at its Penny Carnival. Ticket voting counts 40 per cent in selection of the booth, 60 per cent being determined by faculty judges. The committee reported that the Newman Club Chili Feed, Hayride Set Saturday A hay-rack ride and chili feed will comprise entertainment at a Newman Club meeting Saturday. The students will meet at the club center between 7:30 and 8 p.m. The cost will be $1 a person. Enlisting Deadline Set Feb. 15 For Navy Reserve Officers Applications for enlistment and enrollment in the Navy Reserve Officer Candidate program are open until Feb. 15. Both men and women, who are physically qualified freshmen, sophomores or juniors, in g o o d standing in accredited schools, are eligible. The Naval ROC program pro vides an opportunity for college men and women students to en list in the Naval Reserve, attend a six-week training period for two summers and, upon grad- QCOFtfSS PI GUI Counselors board voted 8-7 in favor of a compromise solution resembling the amendment pre sented by Linscott. The board tes tified, however, that Counselors and the Carnival would be able to function if ticket balloting wert banned. Kosmet Klub told the com mittee that banning ticket bal loting would cut receipts of Its fall show by 40 per cent. Tha fall revue would not be elimin ated but the quality of Its pro ductions would decline, the Klub said. (Continued on Page 4).
