Cornlmsker Price to $6 The price of the 1962 Corn huskers has been raised to $6. Publications Board voted unanimously to raise the cost of the Cornhusker, because of the increased quality and in creased cost of printing, ac cording to Anne Sowles, 1962 Cornhusker editor. The Cornhusker currently costs $11 per book to print, which means that 45 per cent of the cost of each book is paid through advertising and organizational space, rather than each student paying the total $11. The staff feels that In order to continue producing the Ail American quality which has been published in the past two years, the raise in price is necessary and justified, she said.

Sigma Phi Epsilon Probation Lifted; Emblem Replaced at Midnight Stroke By Ann Moyer At midnight last night the campus regained a fraternity as the Sigma Phi Epsilon crew once again placed their fra ternity emblem above the door at 601 North 16th and offi cially returned to their place on fraternity row. At the hour of midnight, the charter suspension of the Sig Ep fraternity was lifted ac cording to Dean J. P. Colbert of Student Affairs. The return of the chapter charter was effected by the unanimous con sent of the the University Board of Regents. The Regents agreement to return the charter, which was suspended by them in Oc tober, 1960, for violation of probationary status, was re ceived by means of a special telephone poll concerning the matter. The action ot return ing the charter was recom mended by both the interfra ternity Board of Control and the Committee on Student At tain. Dean Colbert said the Re gents were required to offi cially ratify their decision at the next Regents meeting scheduled, for June 10 but the action would simply verify their telephone poll decision Colbert 'Happy' Colbert remarked that he was quite happy for the boys as "they have worked hard ,and have been very coopera Attention Campus Drivers: Paving At Last By Dick Stuckey Carl Donaldson, University business manager, stat ed yesterday that plans are underway for the paving of the north half of the Selleck parking lot. ' "We are presently getting information ready for a formal presentation to the Board of Regents," said Don aldson, "and we are proceeding on a positive thinking basis.1' The Board of Regents gave approval to (he paving of the south end of Selleck lot late last July. Earlier approval of the present plans would finish the con struction approximately the first of next school year In mid-September. "We are more sure now than we were a year ago about the south half," said Donaldson. "We've got our fingers crossed though." Present plans do not call for the installation of parking meters, but do allow for future installation. The pedestals will be constructetd one foot wider than those in the south lot, and will enable later park ing meter installation if called by for the Regents. Donaldson's plans include landscaping similar to that of the last summer south lot construction. Shrub bery will be planted which will be in full growth in three years. "The old stump will have to go," reminded Donald son. He referred to the summit placed cottonwood re maining in the middle of the north lot. "We probably ought to work up some ceremony for It, I suppose," he added. "However, it will provide two additional park ing spaces." The north parking lot is presently graveled, but the winter months and the wet spring have combined to produce a rough surface on the lot. Prior to the paving of the south lot, conditions were quite similar in that lot. Landscaping of the south lot, including sodding and planting of shrubs was continued this year. With the paving and landscaping of both lots, parking spaces decrease, while campus perfection increases. p!5 ! 5 11..:. mm . i I i A THING OF THE PAST The familiar mud-hole of north Selleck parking lot will soon be a thing of the past as University officials announces! plans were under way for paving the lot. They also announced that the stump-landmark would have to go. tive in every respect" while dealing with their situation. The return of the charter will allow the Sig Ep's to elect officers for the coming school year and initiate six pledges who were eligible prior to the charter suspension. In addi tion the Sig Eps may partic ipate in summer rush in pre paration for the next school year. The fraternity will still re main on social probation until September, Dean Colbert said. He explained that the house could not be used for social -functions prior to June 12 anyway because it w a leased to the men's dorm until that date. Council Formed The local alumni of the fra ternity have formed an Alum Advisory Council on the rec ommendation of the national fraternity to work with the new officers of the chapter and to advise and regulate their activities. , New officers chosen "by the chapter include Ivan Grupe, president; Lloyd Wade, vice president; Norm Beatty, his torian; Roger Wilshusen, 'sec retary; and Jerry Gemar, comptroller.
