The last issue before Christmas vacation is traditionally a time for editors to sit back and spew "Thanks" to the four winds. Inevitably they end up being thankful for everything and unhappy about nothing. We are happy about many things at NU but we are unhappy about many others. We are unhappy that University alumni can force our campus humor magazine drastically to change its policy. Cornshucks' "new look" was not well received by the stu dent body. Maybe a change was needed. But the argument that most other - college humor magazines habitually get away with the same things that Cornshucks has been de nied cannot be overlooked. We are unhappy that the administration of this demo cratic University continues to refuse the Student Council the power and jurisdiction it needs to become a real stu dent governing body. We are unhappy that the Council and The Daily Ne braskan must be delayed by this administration in acquir ing for students open, free and democratic political elec tions and parties. We are unhappy that students will have to leave home for Lincoln on a legal holiday, and that one of their pre exam study days has been eliminated because of the calen dar change. Cub Clem. Sell Exam Tickets The practice of selling examina tion tickets at Southwest Missouri State Teachers college has been abandoned. Installed originally for the protection of students, under the new plan the cost will be paid by the professors, with an allowance of about 2Vic per student, which will remit most of the cost to the Co-Op committee. Man of the Week As the ninth Man of the Week, The Daily Nebraskan picks Dick Srb, winner from six mid western states of a Rhodes scho larship.

On the court, he is one of the greatest "clutch" players in Cornhusker cage history. And that isn't the limit of Srb's activities. The likeable scholar-athlete is also secretary of the N Club and is a former member of the Student Council. He has added dignity to every position he has held on this campus.

Some more pins and diamonds are floating around campus this week. If you've wondered why Anne Stewart has been wearing that orchid all week, it's in honor of her new pin from Neat Bax ter. Engaged are Tom Chilvers and Chuck Eggert, Ed Langdon and I'at Esay, and Elaine Lauer and the man from her home town.

By Arlen Beam The Cornhusker Countryman Is dying a slow death! It's funds are running out. Funds with which the magazine is published come from two places. Subscriptions and adver tising. The subscription list is dismally meager, and as a result the advertisers are beginning to balk. Each month the income just barely meets the expendi tures and then only' by conserva tive planning. This is bad, be cause it hinders the editor by regulating the size of the maga zine and forces him to abandon ideas for improvement of the magazine because they are money consuming. Editor Keith Frcdrickson and his staff have clone an excellent job on the magazine the last two semesters considering everything. It has been more attractive and newsworthy than ever before, but they have no student support. When speaking of student sup port I don't mean support by workers on the magazine, I mean the students who haven't sub scribed to the publication. The Countryman is the official publication of the Ag campus. It is a vital part of any progressive college, and it surely should be the concern of every Ag student freshmen, sophomore, junior, sen ior or grad student; bar none. There is a solution to the prob lem. If every student in the Ag college purchased a subscription to the magazine the problem would be solved. This is not as difficult as it may sound. Many other Ag schools support their magazines by an assessment which is in cluded in registration fees. Dr. W. V. Lambert, dean of the Ag College, feels that this would be an excellent idea for Nebraska if the students are in favor of it. This amount would come from Ag students only and would probably amount to only about 25 cents a semester. This manner of getting subscriptions to the maga zine would have a two-fold ef fect. (1) It would increase the initial fund gained through sub scriptions. (2) It would make advertising easier to get because the magazine could boast of a circulation of between 12 and 15 hundred. Every Ag student should be in terested in the project. It is your magazine! Let's get some good from the Countryman. OIljnHimaH it V All-Alike, With or Without Imprinting Also Christmas Letter Sheet!
