Investigates
Loon Plan
Benn Names Committee
To Check on Working
Conditions of Students
Appointment of n. committee
(o investigate the Icasiuility
of setting: up a student loan bu
reau on the campus was made
at Student Council meeting yes
terday afternoon by President
Harold Benn.
Bureaus of this kind have
proved very successful on other
campuses in providing quick loans
for needy students who have no
security to put up. Frequently
students are forced to carry a
curtailed class program or must
go without necessiUe3 for a short
time simply because they haven't
the ready cash.
Such a bureau could loan them
the money they needed on a non
interest basis, and the students
could pay it hack as they were
able, a little at a time. The only
requirements for a loan, under
such a plan, would be that the
student seeking it have some sort
of income, as a job, from which he
could save a small amount regu
larly for repayment, and that he
be of reputable character.
Frances Platte is chairman of
the loan investigation committee,
and assisting her. are Jean Mor
gan, and Dick McGinnis.
Check Employment Conditions.
Another committee was ap
pointed' to investigate working
conditions of students employed in
downtown hotels. Complaint has
been made of long hours and poor
food, and it is hoped to correct
these evils. Chairman of the com
mittee in charge is Gerald Vit
amvas, and assisting him is Mer
rill Knglund.
Organizations recently formed
under the names, University
Young Republicans and University
Young Democrats, with downtown
headquarters, must secure permis
sion from the council, if they wish
to enter into organization work
on the campuspropcr, Presicjeiit
Benn stated.
A. resolution was passed recom
mending to the Union board that
it assign the two large rooms in
the northeast and northwest cor
ners of the building to the use of
general group meetings. These
rooms wi ts originally assigned as
office space for some 20 student
organizations , but due to the in
ability of either the union or the
organizations to furnish thorn,
they have not Ixen used.
Upon the request of the council,
which originally secured them
the space, the.t organizations are
voluntarily giving up the rooms to
general use. In return the union
will supply locker space for the
organizations in which to keep
their books and supplies, and the
rooms will still he available to
them for meetings.

Cornhusker game, Saturday.
Forty students suggested the
name "Corn Crib." Because the
name seemed best suited to the
Nebraska student's favorite
"hang-out," the judges decided
that a drawing for the prize
should be made. The entry blanks
were put in a hat and Prof. C. J.
Frankfurter drew Bob Kubicek's
entry as the winner of the first
prize.
"Sit 'n Bull," suggested by
Wade Paschke of 1227 G st., won
the second prize, a free ticket to
the Military ball. The name "Fizz
Foundry" seemed to catch the
fancy of both Charlotte Dudley of
1114 C St., and Bud Wanek of
424 N 17th st. Both Miss Dudley
and Wanek will receive 20 free
cokes which are to be sipped in
the Crib.
There were over 2000 entries In
the contest. Members of the judg
ing committee were, Dixio Davis,

Bookstore
Committee
Gives Report
Senate Investiaators
Hear Results of Special
Student Book Survey
Presenting results of a three
weeks' investigation into the poli- ;
rirs and practices of the Regents'
bookstore. Harold Niemann and
, Merrill Knglund of the Daily Ne-
braskan told a special meeting of
the university senate committee
yesterday that few students were
found who could make specific
well-grounded complaints.
A large part of the clamor to
"take the profit out of the Urgents'
bookstore" apparently arose, the;,
said, from prejudice r gainst Hie
enterprise as a university insti
tution, exactly as many other
university institutions have bee;,
made the target for prjudired
complaint. A definite cheek
showed prices on new bool;s to be
nearly identical in both tlie uni
versity and privately-owned store:;,
indicating that the priva'e-owned
j stores had been ' forced to lower
their price level to that set by the
Regents'.
The Daily Nebraskan audit of
the bookstore records will serve
to give students an accurate ::!".nt
on the situation, the committee believes.
On the other hand, the report .stmctcd directly north of Carrie
slated, the investigation li.-.s re- u0lle Uaymonrt hall will be a me
venled a certain amount of what modal to Julia L. Love, wife of
may be justifiable student sen't
ment against the purchase of out
' line books and ot her leimro
j graphed class sheets nt what is d"
i scribed by a large number n-i ex-
orhitant prices.
Further questioning dining the
I committee session revealed the
j fact that, n large number of i!t
hooks in question were not han
dled thru the nookstore. Investi
gation into una pnase of the situa
tion will be undertaken by the
senate committee in the immediate
future.
