Final Registration
Numbers 9100
You're competing with 9,100
other students!
This final registration figure
was announced Thursday by Dr.
G. W. Rosenlof, director of ad
missions. Dr. Rosenlof also esti
mated that incoming graduate
students will swell the university
population at 9 200.
As for the enrollment decrease,
he stated that Nebraska has
taken only an 8 percent drop
while other large universities
have had cuts of as much as 15
percent.
This is the result of a smaller
veteran registration but the vet
erans' administration estimates
that there is still an excess of 300
veterans on our campus more
than anticipated.
Foreign student population
has increased to 150 this semester
and the registrar's office expects
even more to enroll during the
coming year. The increase is 10
percent over last year.
Leading the other colleges in
enrollment is Arts and Science,
followed by Engineering, Teachers
and Business Administration.

Of Yearbook
"Increased costs, coupled with
the fact that the 1949 Cornhusker
was barely able to meef expenses.
have made it necessary to raise
the purchase price of the 1950
Cornhusker to SC. 00," Bud Ger
hart, this year's business manager
announced yesterday.
This decision was reached last
spring after a thorough study of
the entire situation.
No Outside Assistance
The Cornhusker receives no
outside assistance and therefore
expenses must be balanced with
the income. A higher purchase
price will balance the increased
costs of printing and engraving.
Besides this, there have been in
creases in many of the other serv
ices connected with the publica
tion of a yearbook.
May Decrease Later
The faculty and the Cornhusker
staff are investigating every pos
sibility for lowering the cost, but
the only hope is that, as money
gets tighter, expenses may in turn
decrease. If this does not mate
rialize, it may be necessary to cut
down the size of the book and
the volume of sales.
Only $450 Profit
Gerhart declared, "At the
present time the balance sheet
shows a profit of $450, which any
