Competition? . . .
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?

Although seemingly pleased
with the new paint job presented

afternoon scrubbing their house
All of the girls were falling for

as they ;ried to retrieve the

threatening to divulge the name of

Bill Sloan insists the beat-up
look he's carrying around lately
was acquired when he tried to
kiss a near-sighted girl. It's cer
tain he's had more than four dates
with Beth Wilson so must be a
new one.
Woe to the playful fellas who
have been infesting the campus
with their paint cans and sticky
fingers. The girls from Delta

when they held an auction on
their front porch and made them

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."
