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

International gifts were more than a
curiosity as women grabbed for the rare

department stores advertise "sale today."

Three Grants
Aivarded
To Dent Men
Three grants totaling $52,
480 have been awarded to in
structors in Dental College
this year.
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.

store "sale" day, the Christ
mas shoppers grabbed
through the masses to obtain
the limited number of rare
items on display.
"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

"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

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.
