Although Tabbed for Cellar JVU's Fans Will Be There By Norm Beatty Time: Thursday, 8 p.m. Place: Coliseum, Univer sity of Nebraska Occasion: The start of the 1960-1961 Nebraska Cornhusker basketball sea son. And so it is here again, the round ball season and all that goes with it. From Dec. 1 to Feb. 27 the big gest piece of conversation, for most students and fac ulty, is the success and failure of Coach Jerry Bush's cagers. Pre-season p o 1 Is have tabbed the Huskcirs to wind up in the cellar eighth in the Big Eight Conference. Regardless of this dis mal presumption It is a safe bet that the Coliseum will be packed both Thurs day and Saturday nights as the Huskers entertain Iowa State Teacher's Col lege and Wichita. It never fails, win, lose or over time, basketball is a source of excitement and enter tainment. Midway in the final half of the freshman game the crowd increases and the clamor for g o o d seats raises a ruckus loud enough to drown out the sounds of the talking play ers and the dribbling of the ball. Immediately following the preliminary game, as if by magic, the pep band and the red and white clad cheerleaders appear. Their respective appear ances cause more noise, cat-calls and confusion as they take their places. Sud denly a brief apd presump tious stillness ' throughout the stands "Here they come!" Eleven agile members of the scarlet and cream var sity basketball team cas cade onto the floor as .the crowd rises, almost in uni son, to show its approval. After what seems to be an agonizing eternity, Coach Bush ends his ner vous fidgeting son the side lines by calling the players to him. The public address asks for attention. The crowd quiets. The announcer introduces the starting line-ups for both sides. The national anthem, then last minute instruc tions from both benches. Here we go again! For the next hour and a half tension reigns. Basket by basket, foul by foul the game moves to what is often an exciting climax. Nebraska is known for its thrilling and close finishes. The gigantic Coliseum rocks back on its heels with each thundering ova tion during the final stages of a tight contest. If we win pandemoni um. "What a team, what a coach! Maybe we'll win thp Big 8!" If we lose dejection and pessimism. "What's wrong with our c o a ch and our team?" "I'm never coming to an other game!" There are 12 home games and for the most part, th same people who are pres ent at the first game can be found at the 11 other games.

The pre-Christmas rush hit the Student Union yesterday as hundreds of Lincoln residents, faculty and students of the Uni versity, and children came to make their purchases. International gifts were more than a curiosity as women grabbed for the rare articles as they often do when downtown department stores advertise "sale today."

Dr. Sam Weinstein and Dr. Donald Haack received a $23,000 grant from the Na tion Institute of Health. The grant which the two received at the end of this summer, is the second grant of this type they have re ceived. The two were awarded a grant two years ago. Dr. Weinstein is the chair man of the department of graduate orthodontics and Dr. Haack divides his time between mechanical engi neering and the Dent Col lege. Last year he received his doctors degree at Kansas State College. Dr. Carl Zeiler, a graduate student in Debt College, is the recipient of a post-doctor fellowship worth $7,480. A three-year $22,000 grant by the NIDR was awarded to Dr. Dick Bradley, chair man of the periodontics ae- partment. Dr. Bradley s project is the enzyme study of oral tissues. This study of normal and diseased tissue will involve specialized equipment, which is on its way from the U.S Public Health Service. Charles Adams, assistant pro fessor of animal husbandry.

"The most expensive gifts were the first to go," said Susie Wood, chairman of the event. "We could have sold many more of the large items, however we still have many gifts for men, women, and children left," she added. New arrivals that came in late yesterday were crested dinner bells from Germany "Wild Strawberries," a Swedish movie directed by and hand made "smoking men. The little men actual ly puff smoke and extra packages of cigarettes are sold for fifteen cents a pack age. Some other items left are carved African animals; cer amics from Hungary; jewel ry from the Holy land, Spain, and France; stuffed toys and dolls from many countries; dishes; art prints; and other glass items from Italy. People, especially women, buy most anything even if they don't know what it is said an observer. One lady remarked, 'Oh, what will my husband say," as the cashier presented the bill. Men Shoppers, Too "Unusual this year is the fact that many men have come to purchase or just to look at the items," said a Y officer. "We want to promote the Christmas spirit as well as provide the service to Uni versity students," she said. Not only were University students doing their Christ mas shopping on campus but also Y-Teen groups from Lincoln schools and many grade school children. The inventory value is $6, 000. It is the fifth year for the project which has grown from a small number of handmade objects made by Y members to the present year-round project which in volves many advisory board members and alumni. j The bazaar will be open today and tomorrow until 9 p.m. TODAY ON CAMPUS Wednesday Phi Eta Sigma, 7:30 p.m. Student Union.

"Reflections." . i braska. Nebraska is in an "econom ic, if not psychological" posi tion to increase the tax bur den to aid college education should the need arise. This is the opinion of Dr. Edgar Z. Palmer, chairman of the department of business research, in a report on eco nomic prospects in Nebraska submitted to the Legislative Council Higher Education committee. Revenues Lower "Total per capita tax reve nues in Nebraska are consid erably lower than the nation al average although per cap ita personal income is only slightly below the national average," said Dr. Lyman Glenny, director of a study "Meanwhile, per capita to tal expenditures, are nearly identical with the national figure. Therefore, there is room for more taxation whether the people of Ne braska like it or not," Glenny observed Data for the report has been projected to 1970 in terms of constant dollars" on the "assumption that general economic conditions will pro ceed along the same lines in the next decade as they have in the past three." Thus,, at the projected rate, Nebraska's 1970 individual tax rate would be $74.49 com pared with 1959's $58.54 and a national average of $90.29 in 1959. ' Bottom Tnree "Nebraska has always placed in the bottom three states in regard to the indi vidual tax burden," Glenny emphasized. Projected total personal in come in Nebraska in 1970, termed a "conserva tive estimate" will be 3.3 bil lion compared to 2.8 billion in 1959. Palmer cautioned that the figures were only "moderate ly trustworthy" since this is a statistical rather than eco nomic prediction which should normally be based on a trend of 100 years rather than 30. At present, average indi vidual expenditures for- high er education are 20.64 com pared to a national average of 20.81. Administration Efficiency Palmer cited "efficiency of administration of the prop erty tax" as an additional factor in the total tax pic ture. In judging the possibility that tax support for educa tion will increase as suggest ed, Palmer observed that population figures, although incomplete at this time, show Nebraska "has not kept paca with the natural increase." "WTien the proper adjust ments have been made, the situation will prove even worse in this respect, as the population increase has been less than estimated. Nearly 49,000 persons appear to have left Nebraska in one two year period," he said. This long-continued trend serves two opposite economic effects. "It tends to keep the aver age income up, but on the oth er hand, the trend represents a decided economic drain because Nebraska spends much ti educate those who leave and give other regions the benefit o f their educa tion," Palmer observed.
