The number one story fea
tured the University Builders,
the organization which spon
sored the student fund-raising
drive for the Kellogg Cen
ter. With the aid of individual
students and campus organ
izations, Builders was able to
reach its $10,000 goal. The
money was added to the Uni-
versity fund for the construe-1 was
tion of the proposed $2.6 mil- and
Hon Center for Continuing
Education.
Alphabetical r e g i s t r a
tion rated as the second top
news story.
In previous years, students
have registered according to
number of hours. This semes
ter, students registered ac
cording to their last names,
with A's pulling cards first.
The idea was greeted with
disfavor by the majority of
the student body.
Closed Door
The third rated story re
flected the reaction of some
students and the Daily Ne
braskan to the closed door
policy of the Student Tribun
al. The Tribunal justified its
position as "protecting the
accused from unfavorable
publicity." It was decided
that open hearings would be
permissible at the student's
request and that action could
be printed if no identification
of the party involved was
given.
After criticism of the se
lection methods of Home

decided that the queen
two fmalists would be
chosen from 10 finalists in an
all-university election.
The three finalists would be
announced, previous to Home
coming Day, but the name
of the queen would be con
cealed. Two Tassels, instead
of three, would be on the
board selecting the finalists.
Letters sent to sororities for
nominations for queen will
request the names of any two
junior girls who have a 5.5
average.
Resignations
The fifth spot was taken
by a story following the resig
nation of three Daily Nebras
kan columnists.
The three charged that
they had been "restricted in
remarks concerning this
newspaper and its editorial
policy." .The editor of the
paper replied that he could
not allow a columnist "who
should be working on behalf
of a paper" to destroy the in
tegrity of the paper by de
famatory remarks.
Nabbing sixth spot was the
announcement that the Uni
versity had filed an applica
tion for $84,600 in student
load funds with the U.S. Com
missioner of Education.
Seventh Tie
One of the stories tying for
seventh place concerned the
results of a sorority vote
which indicated that they
! would not participate in the
AUF auction or independent
solicitations drive this year.
The annual auction was
banned, but the independent
drive was still held, with
many of the individual girls
in organized houses helping.
The year saw another tra
dition fall by the wayside
with Penny Carnival being
dropped by Coed Counselors.
The Counselors did not feel
the carnival was fulfilling its
purpose. Penny Carnival was
originated to give pledge
classes a chance to work and
compete with each other,
thereby bringing better rela
tions within and among the
pledge class.
Spirit Drive
University students decided
to join the "spirit drive,"
said story number nine.
Due to the need for better
financial and spiritual support
for the Cornhusker squads by j
fans, many of the students'
ft'
paid $1 memberships to the
Extra Point Club to help raise
funds.
The 10th story summarized
a speech given by Senator
Paul Douglas of Illinois who
appeared for an All-University
Convocation Nov. 10.
