Rally .
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,

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 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

his life and mentioning some of
the greater works of the celebrated
French philosopher. He read

Irwin -heaeu Bua. 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.

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.

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
