ESevose Syslteum Possible reduction in the cost of text books for UX stu dents is anticipated as a result of a ruling from At'"cy (leneral Walter 11. Johnson yesterday. The ruling declared that regardless of Ihe fair tn...,., passed by the state legislature in 19:59, the Kegcnts' store can sell books to students at cost. According to the provisions of the act, the book store lias enforced a six percent markup on all books. Uook stores in competition have been able to lower the price of their books but have not been able to make much money on such a system. "HS("r jr.-. J 1 W? UJ.Z 1 Lincoln Journal L. E.

Plans are to utilize all of the distilleries that can produce 190 proof alco hol and that require a minimum of equipment. The production of smokeless powder will use 43, 000,000 gallons of the alcohol. There's no secret about the music for the Sophomore Hop to be held tomorrow in the Union ballroom from 4:30 to 6. Couples will be dancing to strains from the Union juke-box. "Entirely novel" is president Gene Recce's description of the presentation of Prom tickets en closed in balloons which will deco rate the ballroom. Sponsored by the Sophomore Cabinet, newly or ganized by the student council, the dance will inaugurate a new policy of recognition of the Sophomore class and setting aside some event which will include members of that class only. Tickets, to be sold at the door, In the opinion, requested by L. E. Gunderson, corporation secre tary and finance secretary of tjje university, the attorney's office ruled that the question centered on whether or not the fair trade act covered the state, its agencies and government subdivisions. Gunderson took action recently following objections of Lincoln book stores to the Regents' price on a dictionary which was being sold at a greatly reduced price. He asked university attorney's for advice, and they directed him te the attorney general. The ruling will probably cause a general reduction in the price of all books to point where cost of production and a small re serve surplus can be acquired. It will probably mean a great sav ing for the Union as books do nated by various gift funds can be secured without any kind of markup. The opinion, written by Assist ant Attorney General John H. (See BOOKSTORE, page 2) will be ten cents per person. Let ters have been sent to all organ ized houses urging support of the dance by all members. u. Gregory Moved To West Coast Word has been received by the Junior Division office that Prof. W. S. Cregory, who is at present with the school of aviation and medicine at Randolph Field, Tex., expected to be transfered to the west coast to continue work in preparation of tests especially valuable for use in connection with the selection of prospective pilots. You Can't Sue Innocents If Hurt Seeking Prom Tickets Church Group Holds Social Friday Night Members of the Lutheran stu dent organization will attend a social to be held Friday hight from 8:30 to 11:30 in Temple, room 306, instead of room 203 as previously announced. Friends of the group and those who have attended the chapel services in the Union have been invited for a "get acquainted'' party. Chairmen in charge of the eevnt are Eleanor Faudel, enter tainment, and Stanley Elsen, re freshments. Plans have already begun for the annual Lutheran student and alumni dinner to follow the church service March 15. The Rev. R. V. Hahn of Chicago, national secre tary for student welfare in the Missouri synod, will speak at the dinner and at the preceding service. Innocents, altho still convalescing from their injuries, issued t lie following communi que last night: "Women and children should please be extremely careful when ncaring the following establishments: University Drug, Student Union, Magees, Simons, Harveys and t lie Nebraska bookstore." Reason for such measures, according to fleneral James "Mc" Selzer, now isolated in the fox holes of the Phi Kappa Psi house, is the great crowds which will swamp the above establishments this afternoon when tickets for the Junior-Senior Prom, to be given March 6 at the coliseum, begin. Thiel Can't Talk. Stolid P.urton Theil, member of the ap peasement faction of the men's honorary, wrote (he couldn't talk because of the bruises around the mouth that he suffered Monday night) that Innocents society would not be re sponsible for any one mangled or crushed by the crowd seeking to buy tickets for the party. Members of the football team will guard Corn-cobs and Tassels who will also be selling tickets. Anyone molesting a Tassel will be sub ject to heavy fine. Altho they have been frustrated in their every effort at finding out what the score is in regard to their party, members of Innocents society proved last night that they are patri otic. Corsages Out. Kveu tho none of them are physically quali fied for military service since their free-for-all, they announced that no corsages should be sent for the Prom. "Turn what money you would spend for flowers over to the Red Cross or buy defense bonds," declared the bloody robed ones. Another late message from Jim Selzer, who says that he wants everybody to know all of the facts concerning the party, stated, "Don't tell Mata Haris Jamicson or Hitchcock but Bill Marsh (Selzer 's hunted accomplice) and I have made arrangements for including all twelve beauty queen candidates in the coro nation ceremony of the Prom Girl and BDOC. And as for the band, well, the band has been signed, and, well, oh yes the band..."
