Cornhusker Publication
Edits Yearbook
Every May a year of University life is bound in a huge' volume of
pictures and stories. This volume is the Cornhusker, the yearbook of
the University. Nine months of preparations taking pictures, planning
pages and sections, and writing copy and captions go into the produc
tion of this annual.
The offices of the Cornhusker are
in the basement of the Student
Union. The staff is made up of
an editor, associate editor, three
managing editors, lay-out and art
editors, a business staff, section
heads, photographers and workers.
Persons holding an editorship on
the Cornhusker are paid. They are j
chosen by the Publication Board
of student and faculty members
from the applicants. The new staff8
chooses section heads from the'
workers who apply for these posi-j
tions. The staff is selected in the '
spring.
The editor and associate editor
are in charge of the over-all organ
ization, make-up and management
of the Cornhusker.

Of Arguing
Any person who finds himself
arguing with his friends about any
thing from whether the World Ser
ies will start on September 11 or
13 to whether Senator McCarthy is
really helping to destroy commu
nism would enjoy debate.
The University of Nebraska has
a very fine debate program. Last
year the squad won approximately
60 per cent of their debates, a num
ber of tournaments, and many in
dividual honors. But the outstand
ing part of the record is that these
were not won by a few select
teams. By rotating a number of
teams between tournaments, more
students have a chance to debate
and the debators have more time
for other activities.
Proof that Nebraska's debating
program leaves time for other ac
tivities is the record of her de
bators at school. The senior with
the highest average in the Univer
