Closing Hours Conform
To Community Patterns
Most coeds and fellows, too, usually agree women's
closing hours could be extended a little, at least on week
ends. . "
However, there is a v.'xy logical explanation for the
present hours.
Dean of Women Helen Snyder said the present closing
hours conform to the social and community patterns of
Lincoln. She pointed out that the age of the student is not
a determining factor.
Present hours are simply a reasonable time limit set
for safety and designed to comply with community enter
tainment, according to Dean Snylder.
Special events warrant special hours. The Military
Ball, Homecoming, fraternity and sorority formals and
other "specials" are granted 2 a.m. closing hours.
One coed remarked that closing hours were fine ex
cept more 2 a.m. nights could be granted. Another said
Friday and Saturday nights should have the same hour,
preferably 1 a.m. or later and Sunday hours should be
extended to midnight.
A budding young romantihist (boy .type) remarked,
.lours could be set at 1 a.m. on Friday and 2 a.m. on Sat
urday, especially in the spring.
Seniors should receive special privileges, suggested
one senior.
There are also those who think closing hours are fine
as they stand and in some cases could even be earlier.
Often weekend hours present a problem, according to one
coed. For instance, you are practically obligated to stay
out with your date until reasonably near the time limit.
But what if you are not having a good time? The sudden
headache excuse no longer is convincing even when it is
the truth. Later hours only serve to extend the misery.
In comnarison to other schools, Nebraska coeds fare
pretty well At Arizona University closing hours are the
same with the exception of a Sunday curfew at 11:30 p.m.
Closing hours at Iowa State University are 10:30 p.m.
Sunday through Thursday and 12:30 p.m. on Friday and
Saturday nights.
A "key privilege" system is used by Ohio State Uni
versity. Junior, senior and graduate students are granted
the privilege of., signing out keys to the dormitory for an
evening. They must indicate their destination, escort and
expected time of return before leaving.

Jazzy Five To Go to Festival
. . . Entry Packed in Hersey Box, Apple Wrappers
National honors came to
Jim Herbert and the Varsity
t lve combo this week.
The seven-man combo has
been selected to compete in
the National Collegiate Jazz
Festival at Notre Dame Uni
versity March 18 and 19.
Thirty Selected
Thirty combos were select
ed from all over the United
States to participate. National
honors, scholarships, and
bookings will be awarded to
the top groups in the divi
sion. The top groups will
have a one week's booking at
"The Blue Note," in Chicago.
According to James M.
Naughton, chairman of the
board of directors of the fes
tival, the groups represent
what the board feels is the
best collegiate jazz in the
country.
To enter the contest, the
combo had to supply detailed
information about the group,
a picture, and a four minute
tape recording.
Snqw Storm
According to Herbert, lead
er of the group, the entry
was made at the last minute
and the entry was mailed on
the deadline at the time of a
big snow storm.
"They must have gotten a
surprise when they opened
the entry box as the tape and
picture were packed with
apple papers in a hershey
box because the stores were
closed due to the storm and
proper packing material was
not available.
"We're about the happiest
guys in the world," said Her
bert, "But this will be a real
challenge. We know the cali
ber of talent that the Eastern
groups can display," he said.
"But we're going out with
the idea that we can equal
them."

"there to serve the stu
dents." Campbell presented the
Council with a small back
ground of the bookstore and
its procedures and then held
a short question session.
He stated that the first step
in the procurement of books
was in the form of an in
quiry sent to the "text-book
coordinators" in the different
University departments.. This
inquiry includes an estimate
of students; books to be used
in the course and the ques
tion of possible reuse of the
books in that course.
Data Gathered
The information is t h e a
compiled and purchases are
made according to the data
compiled. This data is also
imade available to competi
tive bookstores, Campbell
said.
He stated that prices ot
new books are set by the
publishers and the Univer
sity Bookstore mark-up on
these books is 20 per cent
of the new book price. He al
so stated it is "impossible
for a profit on a straight 20
per cent mark-up."
This 20 per cent covers the
overhead expenses of the
bookstore and this income is
supplemented by a 33 per
cent mark-up on supplies.
The bookstore added the line
of supplies in 1952, largely
due to the eff orts of the Stu
dent CounciL
Used Books
Used books, if they are to
be used again, will bring the
student 50 per cent of the
original new book price. The
book is then placed back on
ttie shelf at 70 per cent of
the new book price. Camp
bell pointed out that the Uni
versity Bookstore . benefited
the students here since up to
1949, a book was resold at
75' per cent of the new book
price.
Campbell said that a book
which would no longer be
used at this University wouki
be purchased from the stu
dents at exactly the same
price that the bookstore could
get from various book whole
salers. Those which could be used
and were in demand at an
other campus would bring the
students a slightly higher re
sale price.
Price Equalizer
Campbell remarked, "new
students lose the fact th?t the
University Bookstore is there
to keep prices down. Univer
sity Bookstore is a price
equalizer. We try to keep the
prices fair for the students.
If we find a competitor's
prices lower than ours, we
immediately lower them."
In the question session, one
Council member asked about
any pressure to keep the Uni
versity Bookstore from under
selling the competitive book
stores. Campbell stated that the
University Eookstore is 'not
trying to undercut anybody."
He further asserted that cap
ital was necessary to obtain
an inventory with which t9
operate.
