Council Decides Against 'State Fair The Student Council has de cided to veto an All-Univer sity Open-House for high school students this year. The Council made its de cision after Dave Mvers ex plained his position and find ings while heading the open house committee. His renort cleared up the confusion ere ated at last week's meeting. The openhouse committee is now working on plans to co-ordinate various open nouses now being held by the different colleges. President Ken Tempero also asked the committee to look for new ideas for a possible college days plan for the future. Myers gave three main rea sons why one large open house would not be practical after meeting with his com mittee, studying last year's committee report and talking to Fred Rickers, chairman of last year's committee. "Such a program would de velop into a University of Ne braska 'State Fair' rather than accomplishing its in tended purpose," Myers said it would require more than one day -to include all the basic events deemed nec essary. More than 90 per cent of the Nebraska high school superintendents responding to questionnaires said that they might support such a pro gram if its activities were confined to a single day. It is illogical to think that the many events associated Tith sucn a program could pos sibly be restricted to one day," he explained. The final reason given to the Council members for dropping the open-house was because the existing open houses in the various depart ments and colleges are hesi tant in pledging their support to an untried, underdeveloped program, according to Myers. ceives $6.50 ner from each full time student According to Dr. Samuel Fuenning, director of the Center, this amount is not enough to meet increased costs of nurses, supplies and use ot tne tenter by students The number of students hospitalized during one year has risen more than 60 per cent in the past five years and the total number of visits to the Center has also in creased, Fuenning explained. The Center must now also assume financial resnonsihil- ity for its mental hygiene di vision, which was established by funds donated by the Woods Charitable Fund nf Lincoln through the Univer sity foundation.

This is the second time tui tion has been increased in less than four years. On April 23, 1957, the Board of Regents voted to raise in state tuition $30 and out-state tuition $60 a semester, effec tive the fall term of th 1957-1958 school year. Money Troubles This action followed a num ber of money troubles be tween the University and state eovernment. Fnrmpr Governor Victor Anderson approved a $3.2 million in crease in the University budget. $2.3 million the Chancellor's request. The budget committee of the Leg islature then slashed $1 mil. lion off the Governor's figure. The increase in tuition in 1957 was calculated to pro duce approximately $1 million during each biennium. It gave the University of Nphrasta the highest tuition rate at that time for resident s t u- dents in the Big Seven Con ference, and the second high est for nonresidents Chancellor Clifford HaMin stated at that time that he and the Board of Recent felt that the raises were the maximum that the Unicam eral co t increase the tuition without significantly endan gering me enrollment.

Farmer's Almanac Has Everything KUON-TV Features Salt Lake Organist Alexander Schreiner, organ ist at the historical Morman Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, will be featured on a new Na tional Educational Television series to begin on Channel 12 Nov. 21 at 7 p.m. By Tom Kotouc Want to know what your chances of marriage are? Something about Nebraska weather? An eclipse of the Sun? Buy an almanac! The 1961 Old Farmer's Almanac by Robert Thom as features these and other equally intriguing anec dotes, astronomical and astrological . data, homey recipes, select rhymes and pleasantries for this, its 159th year of publicaton. Snowstorm Predicted The answers to the ques tions a woman's chances of getting married between the ages of 15 and 20 were 14 per cent and her chances to marry between 20 and 25 were 52 per cent in 1905. A snowstorm will chill Nebraska the 13th of this month. Rostov, a point north of the Black Sea in Russia, will be darkened for 156 minutes on February 15, 1961 by a total eclipse of the sun. So vital has this ency clopedia become that sev eral y e a r s ago it was se lected as one of the 100 American publicatons hav ing the most influence upon the life and culture of peo ple of the United States. The included Boatsman'i Bible, for example, com mands 'Thou shalt not op erate thy craft under the Influence of more than 0.15 per cent of alcohol (by weight) in thy blood, or permit another to do so." Those born under the sign of Scorpio (between Oct. 23 and Nov. 22) pos sess "Mar's gift of body well-proportioned and bold for love trysts." Dandelion Wine Dandelion wine may be prepared with only water, 2 quarts of dandelion blos soms, oranges, lemons, yeast and sugar. The first built-in bath tub was cased in mahog any and lined with sheet lead, weigiang close to a ton. Constructed in Cicin nati, O., the seven foot by four foot tub was filled with water on Dec. 20, 1842. Be lieving indoor bathing would cause chronic colds, doctors encouraged the lev ying of a $30 tax on each bathtub to discourage their use. Precipitation in Omaha will be 59 per cent below normal in January through April of 1963. Finally, in a special por tion "Concerning Kisses," the Old Farmer's Almanac quotes an ancient women hater as saying "The kiss is the Aurora of love, but the sunset of chastity." Then, too, the monks of 1 the middle ages considered the kiss of love from three vantage points: the kiss given by ardent enthusi asm, as by lovers; that by matrimonial affection; or, lastly, the kiss between two men an awful kiss, tast ing like sandwiches without butter or meat The Almanac has been on sale since Nov. 1, 1960 and costs 35c (list price).
