Campus activities, for the most part, are not activities anymore, but are merely a series of contests to see which member can sell the most tickets, the most memberships, to earn the most activity points! Organizations which are supposed to be for the pur pose of promoting campus spirit seem to be devoting their entire efforts to selling this magazine or that. Members are initiated on the basis of how many points they earn during the year and points are determined in part by the number of Cornhuskers or Cornshucks subscriptions they sell. The worst part of the whole set-up as it is now is the manner in which organized houses are compelled to buy memberships, tickets and subscriptions on a competitive basis. When an organization has something to sell, it merely sponsors a contest among the houses and indirectly forces them to compete against each other for whatever prize or "honor" that is offered. Each house is. informed that other groups have contributed so much or other groups have subscribed 100 to a certain drive. Therefore, "your house can't lag behind." We do not mean that organized houses should not compete in such things as Homecoming decorations, Kosmet Kltih clrirc I'nort MYtlliae mfro m.nl. cru u : part of a campus spirit. But when organizations sponsor contests among nouses to sell subscriptions or tickets, it puts campus activities on a commercial basis and does away with enthusiasm for participation in activities. When are activities going to get back to their real reason for existence to promote campus spirit and co operation? When are activities going to stop operating ineir memoersnip drives, ticket sales and subscnption drives as a commercial competition among organized houses? When are they going to sell their products on their merit instead of resorting to contests? When are the activities going to be of such merit that they don't have to force the organized houses to compete? Saying.

"Why Don't You Do Right," Reporter Solves Case Of Missing Papers the prettiest noses on campus know the news is GLORAL rOMi3A;TS BY FRANK JACOBS The campus wes in an uproar. Timfd frosh were plaguing vet eran seniors with endless queries "What happened to the Friday Rag? Why was it late? What happened? Huh? Huh? Huh? The seniors were stymied. What DID happen? The answer to the questions were not easy ones, and it remained for campus hero, freshman wheel. Salisbury bquinch to dream up the answer. Printing Problem. Since the Rag is printed at the Journal Prfnting company, Salis bury first questioned Journal of ficials for details. He received the following answers. It seems that the Friday Rag was printed early that morning. After tying the papers in rather large bundles, the industrious Journal workers left the Rags on the loading dock. According to a man named Sam, who daily opens the door leading to the dock at a. m., the papers were there between the times of 6 and 6:30 p. m. What Squinch was tryfng to figure out is what happened be tween the hours of 6:30, when the papers were last seen and 6:45, when the circulation man ager and helper were to pick up the Rags for distribution. The Rag, by the way, was printed and distributed late in the morn ing. While wheels were going around fn the heads of high-un Journal and campus officials, our hero, Salisbury Squinch, had fig ured out his solution to the en tire problem. "The solution," said Squinch, "is relatively simple." He suavely lighted the end of a Pall Mall and eased back in his portable Morris chair. "The foul deed was accomp lished in one of the following seven ways." Fingering his sin cere tie, he listed the possibili ties which run something like this: Possibilities Listed. 1. The Rags were carried away by a rather ambitious canine wishing to insulate his kennel for a cold winter. 2. An exceptionally strong electro-magnet in the neighborhood was attracted to the metal bind ings of the bundles and literally sucked the papers to" its attractive surface. 3. The local Sanitation "district needed lining for their garbage trucks. 4. A passing farmer bered that he only had ten pages lett in his bears Roebuck cata log. ,5. The editorial was so strong that it gave the bundles added strength; enough, in fact, to walk away under their own power. 6. Moke Joe (Schmeggie) de cided to go into the newspaper business. 7. It was dark and a Dassm2 drunk mistook the bundles for a case of Blatz. Salisbury Squinch smiled. "You see, friends, its relatively siirmle. All you need is an imagination." remem- UN Flying Club Formed Formation of the University Flying Club is now in progress according to club organizer Dave Hallstrom.
