was reached.
Sold this year on a graduated
price scale, the year book has
gradually risen in price since the
campuswide drive by staff sales
men and Tassels.
Comments Pour In.

husker staff on one of the best
yearbooks that company represen
tatives have ever seen.
"From the comments which we
have received thus far," statef
Business Manager Howard Lynch,
"we know that we have an ex
cellent yearbook, and one which
every student should have. It
will be a loss to each individual

tire sales campaign was respon
sible for a large part of the in
crease in sales. Ranking staff

Cornhusker Shows Students

Esquire Artist
Praises Ilusker
Beauty Queens
After choosing the beauty
queens for the Cornhusker, George
B. Petty, famed Illustrator of
beautiful women in Esquire and
one of the most competent judges
of feminine pulchritude in Amer
ica today, writes that Nebraska
can well feel proud of her coeds.
Mr. Petty said: "It was very
fortunate for me that you didn't
wish the six Cornhusker Beauty
Queens arranged in order of
beauty. Because the high percent
age of pulchritude, plus the photo
graphic perfection, makes it al
most impossible to rate them nu
merically. Nebraska can well feel
proud of this crop of sweethearts
of the Cornhusker."
In picking the six queens from
the 20 candidates, Mr. Petty had
the accurate measurements of the
gills, an informal picture and a
formal photograph of each. No
sorority affiliations were used
with the names of the girls.
Stoking Furnaces, Cooking,
Fixing Window Displays
Pay for Education.
Representative of the ways that
approximately 00 percent of the
university students spend on the
average of 21 '2 hours a week are
the two pages of pictures in the
1938 Cornhusker with the caption,
"They, Like Many Others Earn to
Learn."
Five percent less men worked
this year than last, but still many
students are doing everything
from stoking furnaces to setting
up window displays during tne
hours that they are not attending
classes.
Among the pictures displayed In
the Cornhusker showing students
in characteristic poses while at
work is the picture of Bob Ramey
putting an arm on a wax figure
in preparation for dressing her for
a window display in a downtown
department store. Another shows
Iloland Nye behind the pulpit of
the Emmanuel Methodist Episco
pal church.
Olsen Hamburger King.
King of the Hamburger Inn Is
Kenneth Olsen, who spends six
hours a day before the hamburger
griddle. A teachers college sopho
more, he spends twelve hours a
week in classrooms. Don Everett
boasts one of the most unusual
jobs for a university student. He
is a guard-instructor at the state
reformatory, works evenings and
week ends and also wields the Da
ton for the old fashioned square
dance orchestra there.
Representing the women on the
campus who do not spend all of
their spare hours in caking and
play are Inez Heaney and Virginia
Meisinger. Miss Heaney is shown
giving her pleasing smile to a pro
spective customer by the counter
of a department store, and Miss
Meisinger is pictured taking the
pulse of a patient at Bailey's sani
tarium where she works on the
night shift.
Griffin Shovels Coal.
Joe Griffin, freshman geology
major, is snapped by the camera
while shoveling coal into the fur
nace of the Y. M. C. A., where he
works 21 hours a week. A taxicab
driver when he is not at work in
the fine arts department is George
W. Wilson, Lincoln senior, who
also claims the longest working
hours of the students who are
earning money while they are at
tending the university. The Corn
husker camera man found Sam
Schwartzkopf not on the football
field but cleaning the windshield of
a customer's car while at work at
a Standard Oil station.
The Cornhusker did not have
SDace for pictures of many of the
students who are working their
way through school by doing all
kinds of unusual jobs, but it dedi
cates these pages to all of tho
who earn while they learn.
