The opposition is weaker than a cup of boarding- house coffee, despite the fact that they have the reputation of mak ing more passes than any other publication. Are they men or mice? This is a moot question? The rag will bet its new furniture against the Cornhuskcrs new furniture, and throw in a football to boot, that the yearbook, if it accepts this challenge, will go down to over whelming defeat.

Business Manager Horn Offers Cash Prizes To Top Saleswomen Because the Tassels, womeni pep organization is able to make more contacts than any other club or group on the campus, sales of the '39 yearbooks, The Corn husker, have been turned over to them. Working with Max Horn, busi ness manager of the Cornhusker, is Virginia Nolte, president of the Tassels. Miss Nolte has set the goal for Tassel sales at 1,000 by Nov. 8. From today until Nov. 8, it will not be possible to purchase a year book from any other source than the Tassels. Subscription books were passed out to each member of the group Tuesday evening. There will be cash prizes of $10, $5 and $3 for the three girls who sell the most subscriptions. Thus, by ordering your yearbook from your favorite Tassel, you may help her win a cash prize. Aim to Sell 2,500. According to Max Horn, the staff hopes to sell 2,!500 books be fore they go to press this spring. After the book is sent to press, it will be impossible to obtain one of them. Due to the fact that there were a number of copies left over last year, the staff will only order enough copies printed to cover their subscription list for the '39 edition. This will cut out the cost of carrying a number of extras. In order to assure your obtaining a Cornhusker. you should give your subscription to a Tassel to day. The business staff will start to solicit advertising as soon as lay outs of the advertising section em bodying the idea of the "Buying habits of the students" and the plans for a pictorialized quarter paffe'of candid photos arrive from the Oilier and Jahn Engraving company of Chicago. Dedicated to Agriculture. With the announcement that the 1939 Cornhusker will be dedicated to Nebraska and its agriculture, Yearbook Editor Pat Lahr yester day began preparations for mak ing this year s annual a nit. "It is entirely ntting mat uie yearbook of the university should pay tribute to its agricultural background," Miss Lahr stated. Tomorrow, the Nebraskan will inaugurate a special Cornhuske'- column in which some feature of the book will be discussed every day. Columns will be devoted to sports, photography, humor and other features. As in the past, Tassels will be m cnarge ot selling me t;orn husker until Nov. 8. This summer, tentative layouts . for the book were made in Chi cago by Miss Lahr working with the art staff of the Oilier Engrav ing company, to which this yean contract was awarded. This year's advertising section will really be a candid camera photo section interspersed through out by advertisements. This new method will not only make the advertising section much more ef ficient in sales appeal, but will make it interesting as well, ac cording to Horn. Set Price at J4.75. The price of this year's Corn husker will be $4.75. In order to get a subscription, a student must make a down payment of $2 with the balance payable when the sub scriber receives his book. The Tassels will wear white rib bong with the word CornhuSKer printed on them in red during (Continued on Page 2, Col. 1.) Men of Every Work Tell Their Aims of Education Students Receive Learning Views (From the Tulnne IlulUhnlno) What does the man in the street think of the aims o 'education? From WPA workers to lawyers, from sailors to doctors have been interviewed by the students of ed ucation in an effort to prove that in a democracy, each individual differs in his conception of education.
