Slushy Walks Main Snow Problem
Following the first major
snowfall of the season, traf
fic was slowed and condi
tions were hazardous. How
ever, there have been no ac
cidents on campus due to tie
weather conditions, according
to Eugene Masters, captain
of the Uninversity Police De
partment. The sloppy condition under
foot on campus is the main
problem connected with the
recent snow fall.
Streets around the mall will
not be made one way unless
conditions get worse, accord
ing to Capt. Masters.
The streets are too narrow
for two lanes of traffic to
move freely going one way,
so there would be little ad
vantage to converting the
streets permanently. Also,
permanent conversion would
further limit parking 6pace,
Masters said.
Snow removal crews worked
all day Sunday cleaning park
ing lots and sidewalks, ac
cording to Chester Billings of
the Division of Buildings and
Grounds. '
"The snow came during
semester break, and thereJ
weren't many cars around to
cause any problems," Billings
said. However, a snow-removal

He cautioned, however,
"We do not declare a profit

hope is to cut the loss to a
minimal figure this, year," he

"In the early fall, the cafe
teria was running behind but
is now improving to match
last year's income day-for-day,"
Bennett said.
The most marked increase
day-by-day has been in the
Crib, according to Bennett.
Kraus Places
In Hearst
Competition
A series of articles on the
tax problems of Nebraska,
written by University journal
ism student Carroll Kraus,
was chosen as second place
winner in the second month
of competition in a journalism
contest being sponsored by
the Wrilliam Randolph Hearst
Foundation.
Kraus was editor of the
Daily Nebraskan during sec
ond semester of the 1959-60
school vear.
Dr. William E. Hal, direc
tor of the School of Journal
ism, remarked, "This recog
nition again demonstrates the
ability of University journal
ism students to compete fa
vorably in journalism compe
tition." Kraus article gave Nebras
ka enough points to bring the
University even with Iowa
State for fourth place fn the
contest.
The six month contest wil
continue through April and
will feature a different phase
of newspaper writing each
month. January competition
wili be conducted in the edi
torial field; February, sports;
March, news writing; and
April, feature story writing.
Competition in the contest
is limited to the 45 accred
ited journalism schools in the
nation. Each competing
school may enter two articles
each month chosen from
articles submitted by stu
dents. The individual student com
piling the most points
throughout the contest will
receive a $2,000 graduate
scholarship;
The three schools with the
largest number of points will
receive grants ranging from
i $1,000 to $3,000.
"Crib business has in
creased and stayed up on an
average of $30 a day, over last
year, he said.
Something new in the food
service department was tried
this year as operations were
open through finals.
Daily Income
Bennett said the daily in
come from this proved it a
wise decision the services
were used two-thirds asmuch
as on an ordinary day.
The services will continue
f be open during future fi-
fnals as a result of this suc
cess, Bennett added.
"If the food service balance
continues, we will have a year
much better than last year
and will produce some in
come beyond operating ex
penses, Bennett explained.
Reserve Requirement
As yet the food service de
partment has not met its re
serve requirement of $27,000.
This year $5,000 to $8,000
should be put into the re
serves depreciation, accord
ing to Bennett
The games department is
up $2,000 in total volume ov
er last year, he noted.
This department will pro
duce some earnings ($3,000)
against its reserves, which
will include the future replace
ment of the bowling lanes,
Bennett said.
Up This Year
The operations department,
which -. includes the barber
shop and the main desk, is
also up this year.
"The barber shop is paying
its way and producing a min
or profit," Bennett said, "and
the main desk has increased
sales 100 per cent over last
year."
"The main desk is now the
second largest magazine out
let in the city and sells more
individual titles than any oth
er place la town," he con
tinned. One change which was made
in the past semester has been
the change of the check stand
into a self-service operation,
thereby cutting a non-productive
expense.
Weekend Movies
In the programming area,
Bennett commented that the
weekend movies are "just
paying their way." The proj
ection booth has recently been
revamped and future plans
include the purchase of two
new movie projectors.
He also added he hopes for
a large ticket sales on the

He stressed the need for
this year's budgeting to be
conservative and for it to be
a "year to flatten out and
run without a major change."
He pointed out the reason
for this was the presence of
the Nebraska Center for Con
tinuing Education next year
and the impact it will have
upon the Union's business.
"We hope for new sources
to take up the slack next
year," he said.
Mead Land
s
Discussion
In Offing
Univ ity officials are ex
pected to meet with General
Service Administration offici
als after the end of this week
to discuss stipulations for
transfer of contaminated land
at Mead.
University Business Manag
er, Carl Donaldson, says the
University is willing to co
operate with government of
ficials on this surplus land
project
"A series of solutions must
be set up as there are not
yet any rules in this new
area of school use of contam
inated land," Donaldson ex
plained. Negotiations over this land
at the former ordnance plant
began last week with a meet
ing between Donaldson and
Ag Dean, E. F. Frolik and
Kansas City regional offici
als of GSA..
The GSA has recently ap
proved the University's appli
cation to the Health, Educa
tion and Welfare Dept for the
surplus land.
Current status of the Mead
property is that the Univer
sity win be allowed over
8,000 acres of the land al
though the transfer hat not
yet been documented.
Final approval may well
depend on working out de
tails pertaining to the con
taminated portions of the
land. These consist of four
areas where ammunition load
ing had taken place and
where possible danger might
still exist
Donaldson said the Univer
sity will begin preparatory
work toward development of
an agricultural field labora
tory "as soon as initial de
tails are worked out"
