Needless to say the first home football game is sched uled for Saturday. Also, the first football RALLY is tonight and it should be the biggest ever to let "Potsy" and his play ers know that the students will give them the 100 percent support that they deserve. In spite of the activity ticket trouble even if you are sitting in the bleachers while East stadium seats are occu pied by the general public don't let it put a dampener on your enthusiasm for the game and your team. After all, they didn't sell the tickets. They are your football players, have worked hard and have a right to every bit of pep, spirit, enthusiasm and support you can give them! So, turn out for tonight's rally, and Saturday co-operate with the cheering squad to make the team feel that you're right behind them, NUFF SAID! About the Campus . . . An upperclassman walked out of her 8 o'clock in Andrews the other morning, still half-asleep and looking for something to do to pass the time until her 10 o'clock. Remembering that she hadn't seen the day's issue of the Daily Nebraskan, she decided to find one and read it while she waited for her next class. She looked around for a copy, then asked a frosh coed, "Do you have a Rag?" "No," replied the obliging girl, but I have a kleenex." Poor Bear With our interest all astir over the coming football season, some of us are wondering what we are going to do to UCLA's grizzly bear if we were supposed to "hang the Jayhawk" last year! Freshman! Eager to be in on all college affairs, the freshman had just paid for and received his university ac tivity ticket. The line behind him was moving up, but the freshman lingered in front of the booth win dow, fidgiting with his new activ ity book. Finally he spoke what was on his mind. "What do I do now?" h in quired. Tickets P feature on the edltorinl pae of The I(Uly tfirm rampii" "-mil ur im"- i "What are you doing Saturday?" asked Bill Schenk, the university student who was in charge of handing out the tickets. The freshman got out his sched ule and all other little registra tion sheets, thoroughly scanned them, and then looked up and said "Nothing." "Well, then. I'll tell you," Schenk said. "Saturday afternoon go over to that big building called the Stadium about 2 o'clock. There'll be a football game going on." Some Taradise When the ASTP men left the campus in 1944, a Daily Nebras kan article reported one of them as saying that he hated to leave the "paradise full of wornen." Has anyone seen a 1948 coed as appre ciative as that about the present campus ratio? Parley-vous Francais? Class opened in a section of French 207, French literature, the other day and things progressed normally for the first half hour. The professor lectured on Rous seau, giving interesting details of his life and mentioning some of the greater works of the celebrated French philosopher.

Manager Unsung Heroes Of Grid Sport Supply Players This is the story of the unsung heroes of the water bucket. When ever a timeout is called on the field Saturday, note the strug gling manager, rushing out wnn water and towels. He is just one of the several boys working under equipment manager Floyd Bottoroli. 'lneir names never make the box scores or columns, but they are an im portant factor of every football team. Racely Manager. The chief of this year's student managers is Edward Racely, a senior at the University. Ed has worked under Bottoroff for the past two years to achieve this position. Each year one boy is dropped from the staff of two juniors, two sophomores, and three freshmen, so only one sen ior remains. The senior manager is the only student who makes the trips, and he alone receives a letter. The managers' day begins at 2:30, an hour before the start of practice. Towels, shirts, socks, etc., have to be washed and dried. Off to Work. When 3:30 rolls around, the managers really go to work. Run ning errands, checking out balls and supplying team members with cleats, shoestrings, and replacing damaged equipment. The actual start of practice finds them run ning errands from the field to the dressing rooms. Later, when the team has gone to supper, the managers remain and clean out the showers and locker rooms. This winds up a busy afternoon. On trips Ed, as senior manager, is charged with getting trunks packed and on the train. He takes care of the squad's money, and keeps tab of players around train time. And, of course, he carries out his regular duties before and during the game. The remainder of the staff is composed of John Dierks and Sandy Crawford, juniors; Bob Tritch and George Mackey, soph omores; with Dan McCartey, Ma son Zerbe and Bill Ross the fresh man managers. several excerpts from Rousseau's writings to the interested students. The professor's musical French diaolgue was all that was heard in the room for 30 minutes. Then a student in .the back row seat sat forward on the edge of his chair. "Is this an English course?" he asked. - WAIUtEN ORCHESTRA More Price Facts . . . Today, some facts were called to our attention which explain for the most part why students are paying 'such ex horbitanf prices for their textbooks. We pointed out yesterday that one reason for the ri diculous rates is because of the great number of veterans who do not have to pay for their books and therefore do not care what they are charged. But that obvious fact is not the real cause of the price rise. It is generally understood on the campus that the Re gents bookstore is operated at cost without profit. This is a misconception. This was true until May, 1947. Until that time Nebraska legislative bill 208 stated that the Board of Regents should provide text books for students at cost with out profit. However, on May 28, 1947, an amendment to this bill was introduced and passed. The amendment states that the Board of Regents "sell books to students at a fair price, not exceeding the list price thereof. Therefore, the Regents bookstore is NOT a non-profit f store operated to benefit the students and there is no such store on the campus. If the Regents did keep down thier prices, the other bookstores on the campus would have to lower prices. But since even the Regents store is operated for a profit thus making more expense for the student, we again urge, and will keep on urging, the formation of a student book store operated at cost to provide cheaper texts for the stu dents. Such a project should come under the authority of the Student Council. This problem also certainly should be of concern to administrative officials who are connected with the bookstore. . . . and we're going to kep pounding on this subject until something is done about it! Council Notes . . . Dale Ball and the Student Council have embarked on what nrnmUet in he an eventful year in which they will accomplish a gxeat deal more than they have in nrevimi Tears. Tha council is fortunate to have such a capable leader and we trust that be win receive complete co-operation from ALL of its members. Council activities were started off when plans were begun at this week's meeting for the es tablishment of a student court to handle student appeals from parking fines. Student fines will be paid at the comptrouers oi fice instead of at the municipal court where other violators must pay. This has been arranged for the convenience of the students and city police alike. Student council representatives worked with administrative offi cials all summer trying to reach a satisfactory solution to the park ing problem which came to a head Governor Dedicates Research Center; Hansen Governor Val Peterson will of ficially open the Swine Research center of the University of Ne braska in ceremonies to begin at 10:00 today. Representing the finest facilities available for experimentation, the building has long been a dream of Nebraska Swine researchers. W. J. Loeffel, present head of the Animal Husbandry department here, started the activity in 1827. In that year, the old hog barns were torn down to make rooom for the present Dairy barn and hog research came to a practical standstill. Much of the actual designing of the structure and a large share of the promotion was done by Dr. EVENING OF FUN BALLROOM last spring. They have worked out what seems to be the mot satisfactory plan to benefit stu dents. Maintaining the student court and constantly receiving I the machinery required for such vTdl. -in nnrlprf akin f will Vf a biff iob r but council members have the ability to accomplish this and other projects that are planned for this year. The Student Council will be hi Ia Aa a rreat man, unrlh- while things tlds year, If they re ceive whole-hearted co-operation I or tne student Douy ana uie ad ministration, and if they them selves will work In harmony with each other and with their officers with a minimum of bick ering over unimportant details. This was one of the main faults of the council last year, but we are confident that the new body will act in a mature and efficient manner. " Chief Promoter L. E. Hanson who heads the swine nutrition research. He received his Ph.D. at Minnesota in 1940, and came to Nebraska as an in structor in Animal Husbandry. As an instructor he s familiar to a good portion of college men, for his Feeds and Feeding course is a must for most curricula on Ag. As he is well known as an in structor, he is famous for his re-;4 search. Hog raisers in Nebraska send an estimated 3,500,000 extra hogs to market today because of his work with swine rations. "A modern ration fed by all producers in Nebraska today could 000 yearly," declares Dr. Hansen. 1 Uadoa V n uji n ti k n
