'Man and Motor Car'
Every grade school and high
school student In the state of Ne
braska is to have the opportunity
to take a complete coure of in
struction on how to drive an au
tomobile safely and operate it ef
ficiently, as announced by R. H.
Richardson, Nebraska's Engineer
of Traffic and Safety Education.
An authorized Nebraska edition
of Man and the Motor Car," a
265 page textbook on good driv
ing and traffic safety, is to be
published for use in the high
schools, with the expectation that
the oncoming driving generation
will be good drivers when they
begin to operate automobiles, as
well as intensifying public sup
port of the traffic safety move
ment in Nebraska.
Studies show that 75 percent of
the 80,000 students enrolled in the
public, private and parochial high
schools of Nebraska will be driv
ing automobiles within three years
after graduation. "When we teach
larce numbers of future drivers
how to drive," said Richardson,
"and give them an understanding
of the seen and unseen forces
which influence an automobile
under all sorts of conditions, we
tmall have taken a long step
toward ridding our street and
roads of death, injury and prop
city destruction."
The Nebraska edition of "Man
and the- Motor Car" and an ac
companying teachers manual,
made possible thru the co-operation
of the original publishers, the
National Conservation Bupreau of
the Association of Casualty and
Surety Executive of New York,
will be available at cost thruout
the office of the Nebraska Safety
Fatrol in the state capitol.
In 16 chapters, the book pre
sents a history of tre automobile
from horseless buggy to stream
liners, what makes the car go, how
to drive, a discussion of the driver
and his nature, the psychology
involved, codes of the road, and
all other aspects of car ownership
and operation, including the prob
lems of the pedestrian. The book
was edited by Albert W. Whitney,
consulting director of the National

Archers to Plan
Activities Today
There will be a meeting of the
Archery club, this afternoon at
5:00 o'clock in Grant Memorial.
Tlans for activities will be dis
cussed and decided upon.
'Experience has proved, and
probably no one would now deny,
that knowledge can advance, or
at least can advance most rapidly
only by means of an unfettered
search for truth on the part of
those who devate their lives to
pecking it in their respective fields,
and bv complete freedom in im
parting to their pupils the truth
they have found." An old axiom is
pointedly restated by Dr. A
Lawrence Lowell, Harvard presi
cient-cmeritus.
'Every college student today
should learn whatever he can from
teachers, courses and books about
human relationships. They are far
more Important just now than the
control of nature, for if we lost
control of ourselves, nature will
quickly go wild again. Hut no col
li go. student can shift his lespon-
fiibility on to books and science
He has to find out for himself how
human relationships work for
him." Dr. Henry Scldel Canby
urges more attention on human
living.
A girl was called upon to define
a nut and bolt.
"A bolt Is a thing like a stick of
hard metal such as Iron with
square bunch of windings on one
end and a lot of scratching on the
other end. A nut Is similar to
bolt, only lust the opposite, bem

The sport section in this year's
Cornhusker will be different in
only a few minute ways from that
of last year's edition. Since there
Is actually no change in subject
matter, this feature may contain
little variation.
Sports editorship goes to John
Mason and Cecile Mitchell. Mason
will be in charge of the men's
sport department while Miss Mit
chell will cover the women's ac
tivities. Pictures of the football squad,
the coaches and individual photos
of the first string men have been
taken and set up in the layouts.
This is the biggest assignment in
the men's sport section and re
quires at least two weeks of full
time work, to complete it.
The entire section will be dedi
cated to Coach Henry Schulte, who
finished 19 years as coach of the
track squad, this fall. The entire
atmosphere of this section will be
built around the dedication.
Pictures of all of the games
will feature the sports section this
year. The head staff phtotogra
pher Bill Buchanan has covered
all of the games both here and
away from home as official Corn
husker photographer and the
many unusual pictures he has
obtained appear only in the Cornhusker.
The intramural Rport section
will receive much attention this
year. Special photographs and
accounts of all the winning teams
will highlight the makeup and
content of these pages.
However, the general sports
section of the '39 Cornhusker will
be much the same as that of '38.
One of the outstanding merits of
the last year's high rated annual
was the sports division and im
provements upon it this year are
very few.

day will also be included in this
section.
September 1. The above figures
show a total sales at the Re
gents' bookstore of SG4.5G8.S3.
Operating at a three and two
thirds percent profit, the store has
no expenditures for rent, heat, or
light. Privately owned bookstores
are compelled to meet Regents'
bookstore prices. Labor in the uni
versity agency is not excessive;
three men working at an average
of 20 hours a week at 35 cents
per hour and a manager getting p.
salary of $100 per month.
Complete plans for the frater
nity-sorority section of the year
book have been drawn up by the
Cornhusker staff. Each section
will be divided into two parts; one
concerning activities and the other
organization.
As usual, individual pictures of
each sorority and fraternity mem
ber will be included in the section
given over to their house. How
ever, this year, his class and
home town will be run aling with
his picture.
Another feature of this years
Creek section will be informal
portraits of the house president
and the group as a whole. The
pictures of the Individual houses
will be made thru an infra-red fil
ter which will bring out the house
and play down the background.
According to Pat Lahr, editor,
the writeups of the groups will
be done in a graphic and terse
style. Tess Casady will be in
charge of sorority writeups while
Ralph Reed will handle the fra
ternity stories. They will be as
sisted by Betty Meyer and Carl
Harn8burger.

BOOKSTORE AUDIT
(Continued from Page 1.)
used books at 45 percent of their
list price and reselling at 70 per
cent of list. The year 1937 found
a used book profit of $2,020.48,
the records show.
Consequently, the management
of the store lowered the used book
re-sale from the 70 percent of list
price to 60 percent of the list. Nu
merous books inspected by the
Daily Nebraskan substantiated
these figures.
The charge off for loss on books
not sold and absolete shown above
deducted from the profits are
caused by the issuance of newer
editions or discontinuance by an
instructor. Every book of that type
must be sold to outside wholesal
ers or bookstores below original
cost.
No Records Before '31.
No records on the bookstore be
fore 1931 exist. Altho the agency
was created by an act of legisla
ture in the early 1920 s, L. F. Sea

able, (2) expenditures in main
taining the store are about equal
for every year, i3) business and
profits of the bookstore have been
steadily increasing since the de
pression years, ami ( 4 1 profits on
used books in 1937 showed the
store that it could reduce its used
book prices.

has been operating superintendent
of the universiy for 18 years.
"I don't know and can t remem
ber if any record was ever kept,"
Seaton said. "I do know that many
years were a loss of money and
neccssitcd paying in by the Re-eents."
The bookstore sells new dooks
at ten percent below list price. A
book listing at $1, in other words,
costs the bookstore 80 cents and
Is sold for 90 cents. Investiga
tions of costs, list prices, and cost
marked In books substantiate
these percentages.
When the store appropriated

Holds Contest
Members Match
Potatoes at Alliance
Interstate co-operation between
Nebraska and Louisiana 4-H po
tato clubs paralleling present re
lationships between adult potato
growers of the two states, will be
discussed Saturday at the annual
Nebraska 4-H potato content at
Alliance.
Arrangements are already un
derway for putting the unique
plan into operation, according to
T. H. Hankins, extension horticul
turist of the Nebraska agricul
tural college. Its chief signifi
cance would be to carry practical
training of Nebraska boys and
girl3 in producing and sorting po
tatoes, one step farther into the
marketing fieli. Under this ar
rangement Nebraska club mem
bers will ship four carloads of
certified seed potatoes to Louisi
ana, for use by clubbers here.
A banquet and potato show will
be held along with the contest at
Alliance Saturday. Around 20 in
dividual club members will com
pete four each from Box Butte,
Scotts Bluff, Kimball, Dawes and
Morrill counties. The first prize
winner will be awarded a free trip
to the annual 4-H club W2elt at
Lincoln next spring.
The Nebraska Potato Improve
ment association and the Ne
braska agricultural college exten
sion service are joint sponsors of
the contest. Competition is di
vided into five parts: Showing of
samples; judging; sorting a 100
pound sack; identification of po
tato diseases; and proficiency in
keeping potato club records. There
are 11 4-H potato ciuns in
state, totaling around 130
bers.
