Cornhusker
Sales Begin
October 7
A 12-day Cornhusker drive be
gins Monday, according to Dean
Skokan, Cornhusker business
manager, with only 3,000 copies of
the university yearbook scheduled
to be published.
Corn Cobs and Tassels will com
bine efforts in the annual cam
paign, Skokan pointed out, and
added that the books will be dis
tributed on a first come, first
served basis.
All Tassels and Cobs will be
equipped with receipt books from
Oct. 7 until the supply is ex
hausted and each group will be
prepared to sell the books at any
time during that period.
Altho there has been a $3.50
increase in the overall costs of the
'47 Cornhusker, students will pay
only 50 cents more for the book
this year, bringing the total cost
to $5.50 per volume. Greater size,
improved coverage and colorpic-
tures have all contributed to the
higher costs but Skokan predicts
the 1947 Cornhusker to be one of
the finest editions ever printed on
the campus.

their first win, for while Coach
Bernie Masterson's club was bow

Nebraska's scoring hopes appear
to rest with the winged feet of
halfbacks Cletus Fischer, Dick
Hutton and Bill Moomey, all of
whom are threats each time they
get the ball on quick-opening T
