So It's $5.50. . .
The Cornhusker yearbook costs $5.50 and you think
that's too much.
Perhaps you will realize just what a bargain you receive
at that price after examining some figures from last year's
financial statement.
In the first place, the Cornhusker has the burden this
year of increased costs in printing and photography. How
ever, the business staff is trying to operate on the same
budget as last year and are operating at present under an
estimated loss in order to keep the selling price down to last
year's.
Last year's cost of printing the book was $19,475.
Some of the individual costs were: engraving, $6,427;
photography. $951; office expense, $300; salaries, including
advertising and photographic commissions, $2,227.
This year, the actual cost of just printing each book
will be $5.89, a 76 cent increase over last year's printing
cost of $5.12 per book. This does not include cover expense
which will be approximately 80 cents per cover. Nor does
it include sales commissions let to the organizations takine
Vi o rrr r r-nllinnr V V. 1- fte.
The Cornhusker tan make up the difference in cost and
selling price through selling advertising and organizational
space. That is why it is so important for every organization
occupying space in me dook to pay lor that space.
Another frequent complaint is that it costs $3.00 to
nave individual pictures taken for the Cornhusker. How
ever, it should be brought to student attention that the
studios have lumped'-their prices 100 while the Corn
husker has not. This takes away part of the income the
book counts on every year to meet expenses. The reason
tne uornnusker could not lower student price on pictures
is because there is no competition that would force the pic
ture studio price down. The book must cet some profit from
the individual pictures in order to operate and meet ex
penses.
So, students should realize that the Cornhusker is doine
tui it can vo mane ine sening price as low as possible and
that lowest possible price is $5.50!

As the coming week-end draws
nearer and nearer, all eyes turn
toward Colorado and the gridiron
battle between the Huskers and
the Buffaloes on Saturday. Car
loads of guys and gals all set for
a big time are Boulder bound both
today and tomorrow, classes per
mitting. Among the many couples
making the trip will be Cheer
leader M. A. Dosek and Yell King
Bill Micklc; Rita Fitzmorris and
Jim Walrath; and Jo Davidson and
Fritz Simpson. Parties galore are
planned for an evening in the
"mile-high city" following the
game. Both the Brown Palace and
Shirley-Savoy will see their share
of Nebraska spirit and activity.
The present dating situation on
ye olde campus keeps caper
ers in a s t a t e of constant
confusion. Take for instance . . .
Johnny Wullschleger, who is pin
ned to a girl in Washington, trying
to win the charms of Helen An
derson . . . Janet Graves and
Charlotte Richards both thinking
they have a date with Bill Beekley
on Friday night . . . Buck Barter
renewing old acquaintances with
Hattie Wilbourne after lo these
many months of being pinned to
Ann Miles . . .
Every Monday night for the past
school year, it Has been a tradi
tion for Bob Askey to do a soft
shoe dance between dinner courses
on one of the dining room tables
at the DU house. Now that Bob
is a sophomore, his successor must
be selected from the new pledge
class. Finalists competing for this
honor next Monday night are Lee
Christenson, Al Beekley, and Bob
"Eternal Cribber" Moss. No ad
mission will be charged for this
demonstration.
With a policy that no two girls
date the same man at the AOPi
house, the girls find their extra
curricular activities definitely cur
tailed. Marilyn Nelson and Shir
ley Hahn seem to think that they
can violate this minor detail and
both date Don Bloom by saying
that Shirley is just an old frierid
of the Bloom family. Just keep
trying, gals. It may work, tem
porarily! Speaking of policies, the Aloha
Xie state that none of their
pledges can enter the Crib, Unk.
Drug, Earl Woods or the Nook
for the purpose of socializing un
til 3 p.m. Monday through Thurs
day. Delaine Bishop, being a model
pledge, stood outside the Uni.
Drug in a downpour of rain yes

would go in and purchase some

pected to carry her pledge train
ing that far!
It looks like everyone who isn't
going to Eoulder is going to take
in College Xwght at Kings this Fri
day. See ya there.

At'F will bold a Board meet
ing Thursday at 1:00 p. m. All
members are requested to attend.
The meeting will be In Room 309
in the Union.
The Christian Science Organiza
tion will meet at 7:00 p. m.
Thursday in Room 313 of the
Union. A business meeting will
follow the regular meeting.
Dear
Yesterday, I was looking for my
social securities office, in order
to see if I could collect my old
age pension ten years earlier, since
I had felt I aged ten years in the
last hour, when 1 abstract-mind-edly
walked into a psychiatrist's
office.
"Good evening," he says, in his
best Inner Sanctum manner.
I quickly glanced about the
room in a frantic effort to escape,
but the bolted iron door had slid
back into place.
"Hmmmmmm", says this psy
chiatrist, trying his best to imitate
the mating call of a male bee.
I merely ogled him. (Ogeling
is one of my favorite pastimes.)
Ah ha, he cried triumphantly,
did you know that you have a
guilt complex which has been hid
den by your deflated libido," he
said, turning the full force of his
bloodshot eyes upon me.
"I do, I do," shouts I, jumping
up and down in sheer exhiliration
as my libido, "a source of un- i comine Queen is none other than
j Lois Gillett. She will preside at
ine nan -lime ceremony during ihe
UCLA game.
"During the winter," comment
from Lois, "there are basketball
games to attend and more drives.
When spring comes eager pledges
are initiated on the basis of points
earned during the year. The points
come from different categories,
some 20 percent from sales of
publications and the rest from
Tas.sc-I projects.
"That about winds up Tassels
activities for the year and its
time to select a new group for
scholarship, activities, leadership
and pep."
"One more iU-m, Tassels is a
ing "There is No Place Like Ne
braska."
"Where do they come from?"
"What makes the rally click?"
"Well," we stammered in re
ply to this barrage of questions,
"It just happens that way always
has."
Needless to say we were quickly
corrected on this point by the
gal behind the girls in red and
white, top Tassel, Lois Gillett.
This then is the word on how
half of that pep and spirit comes
to be.
It all begins at the top of the
ladder with the rally committee
and people like prexy Lois. She
keeps the Tassels in line with her
own vivaciousness while handling
a few other details such as Mor
tar Board, practice teaching,
Towne Club, THAT man and so
on ad infinitum.
Her real job begins with Tassel
meeting on Monday night where
she briefs her group on rally
spirit, selling techniques, usher
ing, and general pep.
You can see from that list,"
Lois told us, "that Tassels has an
other purpose beside that dis
played at football games. We are
a service organization as well. We
aid student publications in their
selling campaigns a job they just
couldn't handle without additional
manpower. We're always on call
to usher at all-campus functions
or to guide visitors about.
The infantile paralysis drive
and the tuberculosis seals cam
paign is also handled by Tassels.
Into this category falls the dona
tions which we make to worthy
campus enterprises. Last year's
sum went to Student Health for
research purposes.
Later in the week, especially
this week, Lois can be found in
the Tassel-Cob room painting
signs and making decorations for
Homecoming.
"The agenda for the UCLA
game reads like this, "Lois went
on. "The day before the game
Tassels will be selling baloons
which will be released when Ne
braska makes its first Homecom
ing touchdown. The rally before
the game will be bigger and bet
ter than ever. At this rally the
five Tassels who are candidates
for Homecoming Queen will be
presented. Following the game
students will dance to the music
of Elliot Lawrence and his orches
tra. The climax of the evening is,
of course, the presentation of next
year's Homecoming Queen."
At this point we interrupt to re
mind you that this year's Home-
conscious vasi ana noweriui
drives'' is suddenly brought out in
tthe open.
"Do you ever have strange
dreams," asked the doc dreamily.
"Samatter-a-fact I do," retorts
I, baffled. Why just the other day
I dreamt I was watching the
Notre-Dame-Nebraska football
game and that I was looking at
it through the goal posts on o-ie
end of the field . . . and not only
that but I was sitting on the lap of
a fat gentleman who was smoking
a cigar.
That is not unusual, you are
perfectly sane, young man came
the disappointed observation.
Many people find themselves in
the same predicament. And with
that he dismissed me with a shrug
of his shoulders.
Ouess hes right. Oh well, it
just goes to show you ... a bird
in the hand is worth two in the
Bush, eh Bob?
