Unjustly accused of inflationary
measures the Cornhusker staff
has offered a plea for student
leniency of judgment, coupled
with cold hard facts, proving their
innocence as personal instigators
lor higher yearbook prices.
The new yearbook will have
more pages than last year's edi
tion plus several colored pictures
and a more expensive cover ac
cording to first hand information
presented to me by business man
ager Dean Skokan.
It is hardly conceivable that any
additional improvements can be
made Skokan said without ac
companying higher prices. Print
ing and engraving costs might be
described as having sky-rocketed
over estimates of previous years
and consequently student indi
vidual pictures have risen pro
portionately the same as the re
sultant price of the book.
Class picture costs at Gold's
studio are
$3.00 if the picture appears in
one section.
$3.50 if the picture appears in
two sections.
$4.75 if the picture appears in
three sections.

Enrollment Means
Lines Everywhere
A glance at student enrollment
figures this year seem to answer
any questions as to why the Campus-line
is so long, why parking
spaces are at a premium and why
one must wait hours to get a
drink at the water fountain in
Sosh hall.
Tuesday a. m. Dr. George W.
Rosenlof, Director of Admissions,
reported that the latest enrollment
figures stood at 9,078 on the Lin
coln campus, and 464 at the Col
lege of Medicine and School of
Nursing in Omaha.
Unofficial Totals.
According to unofficial totals
the freshman on the Lincoln cam
pus boasts the largest enrollment,
with 3,691 students. The sopho
mores follow with 1,690, juniors
with 1.3G6, seniors with 872 and
the Graduates and Professionals
number 787. At the end of the list
are 680 students with no class
indicated.
ceives $1.00 for each sitting and
a mounting fee of $1.50. An added
cost of $.25 is charged for a glossy
print suitable for engraving.
Appointments
Unaffiliated students may make
class picture appointments by
calling at the Cornhusker office.
All organized houses, Greek and
residence halls, will be given
blanket appointment dates.
By a single process involving
not tnn difficult mathematics it
all adds up to this. ' At a cost
of $5.50 to students the Corn
husker, staff is offering a $9.00
nublication which mean sthat the
difference must be made up by
advertising rates, sale or pages to
organizations and a charge for
class pictures. Not one of these
rates alone could sumcientiy
support the cost of the new edi
tion, therefore an increase of 25
of all rates had to be made.
Only by doing this is it going
to be possible for the new Corn
husker to be published with all
the pomp and color of pre-war
editions. Still in a critical state
is the naner shortage which makes
it possible to print only 3,000
copies of the annual. Selling dates
have been set as Oct. 7 concluding
Oct. 19th.

R. W. Goss of the Graduate Col
lege announced Tuesday.
Established with the University
Foundation to stimulate research
for the greater utilization of farm
crops in industry the fellowships
defray a.1 tuition costs.
Dean Goss stated that Mr. Min
thorn's chemurgic research would
be a study of the nature of the
enzyne cellulose. This funda
mental study, if successful, will
pay the way for the use of "one
of the greatest waste products of
agriculture cellulose. Dean Goss
said. The "cellulose enzyne" re
acts with cellulose products, like
grain straw, alfalfa and corn
stalks, in such a manner as to
make them assimilable by both
livestock and humans.

Of the registration in different
colleges, the College of Arts and
Sciences seems to have come out
on top with 2,547 students.
The reason so much is heard
about accounting, shorthand and
typing, is readily understood, for
the College of Business Adminis
tration has a total of 1,547. Other
figures stand today as, follows: En
gineering 1,520; Agriculture 1,029;
Teachers 1,023; Graduate 477;
Law 197; Pharmacy 162; Dentistry
113; Junior Division 148; 323 un
classified students have no college
The World war II veterans have
definitely descended enmasse on
the campus this fall, with 5,780
now enrolled.
As the graduate college enroll
ment does not close until Oct.
9, and there are probably a few
stragglers yet to register. Dr. Ros
enlof said that final enrollment
figures are expected to be slightly
in excess of the present total.

ship of the school of journalism
on September 1, 1946. "There is
a need to build from the bottom
ud." said Mr. Swindler. "We have
the foundation now, and it's a
nrm one, but we don't have a lot
resting on it."
Briefly the outline for the re

From Dallas S. Williams, direc
tor of the University Theatre,
comes announcement of the tenta
tive cats for "My Sister Eileen,"
first major production of the Uni
versity Theatre this season which
opens at the Temple Theater on
October 31.
Dual casts have been made for
two of the major rolls. In the
part of "Ruth" there are Doro
thea Duxbury and June Gast. For
"Eileen," Arlis Swanson, and Hel
en Plasters have been chosen.
Characters
Other major characters will be
"Appopolous," played by Rex Cos
lor; the "Wreck," William Lucas;
Helen, Barbara Berggren; Frank,
Douglas Peters; Chic, Bill Reese;
Baker, Don Johannes, and Sher
wood, Henry Lee.
Composing the supporting cast
are Jensen, played by Lynne
Reed; Fletcher, William Palmer;
Lomgan, William Reuter; Violet,
Gladys Jackson; Mrs. Wade, Es
ther Hosterman; six future Admir
als, Tom Stimptig, Jim Welch,
Charles Gosshans, Roger Camp
bell, Richard Carpenter, and Rob
ert Scott; a woman, Dorothy Ma
nion; a sand hog, Charles Bergof
fen; and the Consul, Bill Wiseman.
Director Williams stresses the
fact that these casts are as yet
tentative, because scholastic stand
ings and eligibility have not been
checked.
Delta Sigma Pi,
Bizad Honorary,
Installs Officers
Delta Sigma Pi, honorary busi
ness administration fraternity,
held its second regular business
meeting Monday night at which
time new officers for this semes
ter were installed.
The new president for the Bizad
professional group is Joe Dellere,
assisted by Herman Christensen
as Senior Warden; Bruce Boyd as
Junior Warden; Dick Ebeling fills
the office of Treasurer; Norman
Warwick is Scribe; and Dick
Weekly is the Historian.
Ralph Novak was named as a
new pledge.
ment looks like this first the
"physical set-up" must be
changed. Gloomy old University
Hall, housing the school of jour
nalism at thv' present time, has
always been satisfactory. Mr.
Swindler looks forward to the
time when the School of Jour
nalism moves to its new home,
now represented by the large ex
cavation immediately south of
Bessey Hall. How soon? Mr.
Swindler smiled and said that
with the shortage of building ma
terial, neither he nor anyone else
could tell. Until the new building
is completed, lack of space limits
enlargement of typing and photo
graphic facilities.
Mr. Swindler had more than
promises to offer. Expansion of
the faculty, second point in his
program of repair, is being car
ried out now. and this will permit
expansion of the curriculum, third
point in the program.
Two Purposes.
"I think that the school of jour
nalism in a state university serves
two fundamental purposes," stated
Mr. Swindler, "first to select and
train students who show aptitude
and ability for professional Jour
nalism work, and second, to serve
the journalistic industry of the
state in the same way that an ag
ricultural extension department
serves the state's agriculture."
