'Husker Sale
Not Effected
By Cost Hike
The increase in the price
for this year's Cornhuskers
appears to be having no ef
fect on the book's sales,, ac
cording to Mark Sorensen,
Cornhusker business manager.
Sorensen said Friday that
the sales are running four
times greater than last year
with only 600 books left of
the 2,850 planned to be or
dered from the printer.
He encouraged those Inter
ested in buying a Cornhusker
far 1962 to get it now1 for there
is a good chance that stu
dents waiting to buy their
Cornhusker next spring will
not get one.
Over 2,250 Cornhuskers
have been sold in the first
three weeks of classes as
compared with 525 at the
same time last year. Total
sales this year are $13,470 as
compared with $2,893 last year
at this time and $15,871 for
all Cornhuskers sold during
the 1960-61 school year.
The bonus of giving each
house that purchased 20 Corn
huskers a Nebraska Sweet
heart or Prince Kosmet can
didate through Oct. 2 sparked
the heavy early sales, Sor
ensen said.
From now through Oct. 25
we will give one candidate for
every 25 Cornhuskers pur
chased, as we did all last
year.
A University of this size and
caliber, Sorensen said, should
be able to absorb more than
the 2,850 yearbooks we sold
last year. With the q u a 1 i t y
book we offer, sales should
approach 50 of the student
body.
"However," Sorensen
pointed out, "we can only
order more than 2,850 i" fall
sales show greater student de
mand and more that will want
the annuals next spring."

Print Shop Says,
By Cindy Bellows
"There is Just nothing University Print Shop can't
print with our modern equipment," asserts manager,
John Klssler. His statement is well-founded for his shop
is one of the best-equipped in the midwest.
The University Printing Shop was moved into the
new Nebraska Hall from the West Stadium last Febru
ary. It had been located in the Stadium since 1923, gradu
ally increasing its production to today's capacity.
University print shops are not uncommon on cam
puses throughout the United States. One publication, The
Alumnus, was named among the top ten alumnae maga
zines in the country last year.
The business of University Print Shop is restricted to
University publications. Texts written by faculty mem-,
bers and material written by students are printed as
well as university catalogues, news letters, football pro
grams, and virtually all sehool publications.
Kissler has been shop manager since ' 1956, having
worked previously on the Lincoln Journal Star for twenty
seven years as composing foreman. His Assistant Manager
is Kenneth Peitsch. The University Art Department often
does the layouts. There are a total of twenty-four work
ers employed in the printing shop.
In its modern surroundings, the shop has installed
many new machines and combined printing and duplicat
ing into one process for better service. The University
Printing Shop boasts of the only Ehlermann Book-glueing
machine in this part of the country. Use is also made
of a new offset press, a gather-all machine, and a paper
cutter.
The University print shop is also equipped to do color
work such as that exhibited by the football program
covers. '
Kissler explained that a University printing setup
such as Nebraska's is not unusual to a campus of this
size.

Council Studies Proposal
To Combine Publications
The Student Council has
voted to initiate a study on
the feasibility of combining
the information contained in
many of the University's an
nual collegiate publications
into a single publication.
Chairman of the student in
terest committee, Jim Sam
ples, said that the single pub
lication could well include
the material now found in
the Husker Handbook, Build
ers Calendar, and similar
publications plus rules for
student behavior, a descrip
tion of the activities and
membership requirements of
different organizations
on campus, the ways organi
zations can be put on proba
tion and the rules that exist
to regulate the activity of the
organization on probation.
The latter facts and rules,
Samples said, would give the
student an exact knowledge
of what he could and could
not do. It would thus elimin
ate the present vagueness on
rules which exists from the
failure of the Division of Stu
dent Affairs to consolidate
and record present regula
tions. , Other innovations for the
publication might include a
"where to go for what" sec
tion giving the facts on where
the student may get anything
from a parking sticker to a
scholarship and a "campus
etiquette" section explaining
the best dress for anything
from the Military Ball to the
hay-rack ride.

Shakespear Play
Opens '61 Season
"Measure for Measure," a
comedy by William Shake
speare, will inagurate the
1961-62 season of plays and
opera presented by the Uni
versity Theater and Depart
ment of Music.
Directed by William R.
Morgan, the play will run
Oct. 25-28. This comedy
shows Shakespeare as a bril
liant and bitter satirist. A self
styled saint, a tyrant impos
ing stringent Puritanical rules
upon others, has his downfall
when he is taught mercy.
Other theater productions
for the year include a Moss
Hart comedy, "Light up the
Sky," which will be presented
Dec. 13-16. Directed by Jos
eph B. Baldwin, it tells the
"behind the scenes" story of
Broadway theater. The joys,
sorrows, confusions, intrigues,
loves, and hates of actors,
actresses, the director, play
wright, and investors are con
tained in this hilarious come'
dy.
Leon Lishner will direct
"Cosi Fan Tutte" to be pre
sented on Febr. 7-10. The
opera will be sung in Eng
lish, instead of the original
Italian. The basis for the plot
is actually supposed to have
happened, and the Emperor
of Austria, Joseph II, s u g
gested to the author of the
libretto, Da Ponte, that he
write the story for opera.
This comic opera by Mozart
begins with two young gen
tlemen of Naples deciding to
test the faithfulness of their
young brides by going away
on a journey and returning
in the disguise of wealthy for
eigners to woo them.
A modern version of John
Gay's Beggar's Opera, writ
ten in 1728, will be presented
March 21-24. "The Three-
Penny Opera" by B e r t o 1 1
Brecht, will be directed by
Dallas Williams. This play
with music is a satire upon
Twentieth Century conditions.
The book and lyrics are by
Brecht and the music com

the initiation of a colony at

off of the expansion program.

i
vi:
Ernest Dewey, president of
the Interfraternity Board of
Control, said that the matter
of Triangle fraternity coloniz
ing at the University will not
be taken before the Board of
Control until November.
Triangle fraternity was in
corporated as a national or
ganization April 15, 1907. Ori
ginally a social engineering
fraternity it was decided this
year to admit those studying
chemistry, physics or mathe
matics thus making he fra
ternity one of a broader scic
entific nature.
Triangle has 20 active chap
ters and Is in the process of
establishing three colonies, in
cluding one at Nebraska. Tri
angle is a member of Na
tional Interfraternity Council,
and was ranked sixth among
the 59 member fraternities in
scholastic achievement last
year.
According to Donald F,
Young, director of general
services, for Triangle, Ne
braska was one of the three
schools picked for coloniza
tion because of the excellent
University and also the strong
interfraternity system pres
ent. Triangle does not or never
has had a written or implied
policy of membership restric
tion based upon race, re
ligion, color, creed, or na
tional origin, according t
Young. They have no "gen
tlemen's agreement" or other
such custom regarding mem
bership. Last week the IFC voted
unanimously to extend a wel
come to Triangle and to put
all the resources of the fra
ernity system at Nebraska
at the disposal of the colony.
Triangle has expressed hope
in starting the colony this No
vember. Dean Snyder
