Cohen, Chuh Burmei-tej Night News Editor The 'Rag' Goes ' on Trial . . The Daily Nebraskan is pretty much taken for granted. And among the things which students take for granted is the new, seven-column size of their paper. It took only a week or so to get used to the king-size "Rag." We scarcely notice the adanvtages of the new Daily Nebraskan, and only if we are forced to return to the old tabloid format will these advantages be missed. Even with twice as much space, the "Rag" staff can't always manage every news item that comes in. But with thA Ciu NAhraslrfln. it was a matter of "survival of the fittest;" if the story wasn't the "big" story of the day, it ran the chance of being doomed to tne neu dox ... me grave yard for dead type . . . before it ever saw print The less students the story concerned, the less likely it was to find an inch of space in some corner of the "Rag." The Ne braskan staff last semester probably turned down as much news as it printed. j Wednesday morning, in a campus-wme vote aunng Finale all 9 o'clocks, students will say "yes" to the better coverage they have received in the king-size "Rag." They will act as the iurv in deciding the fate of The Daily Ne braskan ." . determining whether it will live as a better newspaper or be condemned to the crowded tabloid size. Sufficient negative votes will bring the return of the old five-column newspaper, in which stories were packed like sardines . . . and some sadly undernourished sardines at that Approval of the fifty-cent "Rag" subscription mcerase will mean the best coverage The Daily Nebraskan staff can muster . . . more stories, longer stories, more detail. The old tabloid seemed about half finished when it was distributed each morning; the new "Rag" comes closer to being a complete paper. Besides the obvious advantage of a broader coverage for University students, the larger paper means that the so-called "little organizations have a chance of getting in their news. The king-size "Rag" better fulfills its purpose of being" not only a student newspaper, but a faculty news paper as well, with various articles which are of special interest to instructors. The seven-column Daily Nebraskan is better equipped to come to the aid of organizations which are trying to promote dances and other similar func tions. In this respect, the "Rag" is not only more prepared to offer lip-service to such occasions, but it lets the stu dents know that these things are going on and helps to contribute to the social side of University life. Working under cramped, five-column conditions last semester, the Nebraskan pages often were scant on fea tures involving the unexplored phases of campus life. This semester The Daily Nebraskan is able to bring you a much more extensive variety of entertaining feature material, from personality sketches to side-lights among the indi vidual colleges. "One picture," runs an often-quoted Chinese proverb, "is worth ten thousand words." If our little friend, who had nothing better to do than sit around and dream up such sayings, is right the "Rag" is saving a lot of wasted words with additional space for interesting and lively pic-i tures, pictures of people you know. With six extra inches added at the bottom of each page, plus two extra columns, I the "Rag" is able to print numerous signed columns, rang-! ing from the serious to the lighter side of the news. The cartoons of one of the country's most popular humor artists have come into their own with the larger format I Readers who forget pages one, two and four and turn ' Immediately to the sports page will find a corresponding I increased coverage on page three. Last semester it wasn't1 unusual to f ind only one or two stories in the "Rag" sports I section, but the sports editor now is better able to do! justice to Nebraska athletics. Recently, a Nebraskan sports' r :. 'v -" me intramural director ior nis exceUent intramural coverage. But we can be thankful tne reported even had the space in which to put the intra mural news. The new "Rag" has also made it possible to devote two 8 on the second Pa&e each day to editorials. Withm this space every effort is made to campaign in the students interest The present campaign for continuance oi tne seven column Dailv Nebraskan IS an evumrila To it 5 iLTJh&t the "RaS" is bIe e morespace HKHMVUIl UVYVO a The defense rests.

" r t"- a yciuict in iavor oi tne King-size "Rag." During the past week and a half the news and editorial columns of The Daily Nebraskan have contained a great deal of information concerning the proposed city Union addition and the new Ag Union building. We have purposely concentrated this material in a short period of time so that students can be quickly informed and then, quickly make their decisions. We have not, by an means, tried to put something over on the students before they realize what is happening. By now, most of the University's enrollees should be fairly-well versed on all the aspects of proposed Union fa cilities expansion. And Wednesday morning they will make their decision. The Board of Regents has expressed the view that a large number of students should vote on this important issue. To reach that large number, the admin istration is allowing instructors the short time necessary in Wednesday s 9 o clock classes to conduct the all-Uni- versity vote. However, about half of the student body is not regis tered for classes at this hour. And to give every student an opportunity to vote, two booths will be available, one in the city Union lobby and one in the Ag Union,' between 9 and 9:50 in a. m. It is hoped that between six and seven thousand students will be reached by the combined class room and booth voting. We strongly urge that any student who is anywhere near the voting booths will take the few minutes required for casting his ballot A matter which involves a $3.50 tuition fee increase, a new Union addition, a new Ag college Union building and the continuation of the present seven-column Daily Nebraskan should be of interest to every student attending this university. Little more can be said about a Union addition or a new Ag Union. We have tried to explain why we think both buildings should be constructed in previous editorials and features. It had been our hope that students would write letters to The Daily Nebraskan expressing their opinions, pro and con, on the issue. But since no letters of this nature were written, we have attempted to answer questions which were brought to us second-hand and to satisfy dobuts which we felt would be in the minds of the students. Many points, unkown to us, will go unanswered. How' ever, there is one question, though answered many times, which should be cleared up once more. It is the fact that classroom buildings for the University are financed by ta money. The Student Union cannot be and is not supported by this method. But we feel that the student body is well enough informed to vote intelligently. Through dicussion with friends and through facts printed in The Daily Ne braskan, students should have heard most of the arguments for and against the proposal. We of The Daily Nebraskan have been behind the proposal all the way for the simple reason that we spend much time in the Union and realize what it means to those who participate in its activities and what it can mean to those who do not It is our sincere belief that a Union addition on the city campus and a new Union on Ag would be of great benefit to the students and to the University for many years to come. By giving ourselves more opportunities to carry on healthful recreation, relaxation and activities, we can leave the University of Nebraska with a broader scope of experience to add to the knowledge we receive in class rooms. The decision rests with you. We will say no more. mpi Krueg-er demolishing the OFFICIAL BALLOT UNIVERSITY OF NEBRASKA SAMPLE APRIL 26, 1950 SAMPLE (VOTE ON BOTH PROPOSALS) PROPOSAL NO. 1 I VOTE FOR AGAINST an addition to the University of Nebraska, City Campus Student Union Building, and a college of Agriculture Student Union Building, such addition and building to be financed by an increase of $3.00 per semester in the Student Activity Fee, effective Sept 1, 1950.

SAMPLE University of Nebraska Student Council Opinion Poll (NOT A BALLOT) SAMPLE The University of Nebraska does not now have a regular series of concerts. Such a series is possible i provided a significant number of students (overS per cent) voluntarily purchase season tickets each' year. The tickets would cost $1.50 each. They would provide funds for five or six concerts featuring stars of the Concert Stage such as Marian Anderson, contralto, I Benno Moiseiwitch, pianist, ballet companies, symphony orchestras and other ensembles. The concerts would be supervised by a committee of students -and faculty. Would you be willing to purchase season tickets for such a proposed concert series. Yes No ; By Joan Krueger "Sampson and Delilah" The picture that no college student should miss is "Samson and Delilah" stin ting Tuesday at the Nebraska. The Cecil B. De Mille production, starring Victor Mature and Hcdy Lamaar in the line roles, enacts the Old Test ament love story building to the climatic scene of the destruction of the temple at Gaza by the blind and wrathful Sam son.

Work men sus pended from invisible c a bjes started temple as five cameras recorded the event. Approximately 1,000 Philistine spectators participated in the scene, Playing Delilah, Hedy Lamarr is the bewitching woman who enslaved a man where armies had failed. George Sanders is the Saran of Gaza; Angela Lans bury is the beautiful sister of Delilah; and Henry Wilcoxon, who recently made a speaking appearance in Lincoln, is the determined leader fef the Philis tine armies.

Attention Grad Students It's bad news to graduating col lege students according to news from the bureau of labor sta tistics. There's to be a bumper crop of applicants in trained fields such as engineering, where until recently there was a short age. It's the same story in other professions. Court House Robbery LINCOLN Burglars breaking into the Lancaster courthouse ransacked nearly every office in the building but got away with only an estimated $48 in cash. ine only clues left were iwo footprints left on a cloth cu shioned chair in the County As sessor's office. Baylay Trial to Another County Lyle Holland, attorney for Alan Bayley, asked in )ist-ct Court to send the case of Bay ley charged with intent to com mit rape, to another county.
