(Cash) Penney lifts his box full of "goodies" high, spreads his smile wide and heads deep into the East Stadium to laugh his customers into money gales. Smile Turns to Dollars For Big, New Penney By Janet Sack "Who wants a caramel apple? Get 'em right here." The seller behind this cry is Jim Penney, a freshman from Hastings. With a grinning face this young man can be seen on game Saturdays in the East Stadium selling his wares of caramel apples and "fresh roasted" peanuts. Selling techniques? Yes, this boy has some. "I try to get people to laugh and keep them laughing," he said. "People will buy more things that way. I also try to work the game into my selling." It's not unusual at all to hear him say, "My gosh that was a good play how about a caramel apple." All one sen tence, mind you. Another technique used by Jim is the number game. It goes like this: "Guess the lucky number and win a bag of peanuts." The prospective buyer hazards a guess and then comes the big smile. "No, but that's close. Try again next time." C for Cash During the first three home games, J. C. (C stands for cash) averaged $16.50 a game in which he worked about three hours. He earns four cents on every item that he sells. . The lad was the high seller in the caramel ap ples during the game against North Dakota. ( The Beta Theta Pi pledge claims he has no secret formula for selling. His father gave him a few tips and the biggest one was smile. "It takes fewer muscles to smile than to frown," he said," and that's my goal to go by." IFC Fines Fraternities By Bob Nye Phi Delta Theta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon were fined $200 each by Interfraternity Coun cil for violation of the IFC pledge sneak resolution and Sigma Alpha Mu was fined $150 for improper pledging be fore the end of the 30-day period. Don Ferguson, IFC presi dent, said the executive com mittee of the IFC took action on the cases and presented their decision to the IFC Campus Poll: Missouri Migration Favorite, 3 to 1 By Tom Koutoc University students favor the Missouri game 3 to 1 over Iowa State as the loca tion for migration this year, a Daily Nebraskan poll showed Thursday. The Student Council failing to decree either game "offi cial or unofficial" migration because it was believed their action would be in conflict with administrative policy, took a poll of its membership after adjournment of Wednes day s meeting. Twenty-four of 26 polled strongly favored Missouri while two favored Iowa State. To confirm this expression, the Daily Nebraskan then polled an additional 1101 Uni versity men and women, with 864 favoring Missouri and 237 favoring Iowa State. One hundred fifty-three of 699 men polled favored Mis souri over Iowa State. Of these, fraternity men favored Missouri by a 30 to 1 ratio whereas independent men fa vored Missouri by a ratio of only 2 to 1. Eighty-four of 208 women polled favored Missouri by a ratio of 3 to 1. The 24 Student Council mem bers favoring Missouri, act ing outside of Council, ad vanced the following resolu tion to support their vote: Whereas, There appears to be no unanimity of opinion on the place of migration; Whereas, it would be in the best interests of the student body to avoid confusion over the place of migration; Whereas, confusion over the place of migration will result in a division of student sup port for the football team; ' Whereas, there is little time left to agree on a place of migration; Whereas, the Iowa State University game will be held the same night as the AUF Pancake Feed and the Ali Unlverslty Talent Show; We, as students of the Uni versity of Nebraska recom mend the following: Be it resolved The football game between the University of Missouri and the Univer sity of Nebraska at Columbia, Mo., on October 28 be the place of migration. Council Declines to Make Decision on Migration The right of the Student Council to declare the .Oct. 28 Missouri-Nebraska game "official" or even "unoffici al" migration was fiercely de bated in Council meeting Wednesday. The University does not give official sanction to migration when student travel is by bus or car, pointed out Student Council advisor Dr. Henry Baumgarten, as it must then assume moral responsibility for the welfare and safety of the students. (The truth of the statement was confirmed after the meeting with Dean J. P. Colbert) Yet controversy developed over wnetner the council could take any action in light of the Student Council con stitutional right to "control pep rallies, pep demonstra tions, and student migra tions." Arguing that the Council migration committee last spring, acting on the tradi tional rotation of the Colorado and Missouri games for mi gration, had set Missouri for this year's migration, Coun cil members questioned their power to either affirm or de ny the decision. Greatest confusion develop ed from the band's decision to appear at Iowa State in stead of at the traditional mi gration game as it had last year at Colorado. A motion by Steve Joynt that the Council "unofficially" recommend that the Missouri game be considered the mi gration game was defeated. Second Vice President Jim Samples argued that for the Student Council to take any action on migration would be to force the administration to act on a proposal which it was known they could not act on. A subsequent motion by Al Plummer that the Student Council president look into the possibilities of making Mis souri the official migration was defeated on the same basis. Member Dick Nelson re solved the dilemna by an nouncing that a meeting would be held outside the meeting room after the Council had adjourned to consider the place of official migration. The results of their poll ap pear in the above article. In an interview with Dean J. P. Colbert after Council meeting, the Dean said that the Student Council had the right to make any recom mendations they desired on migration, since it constitu tionally comes under the cata gory of student assemblies which they have the right to control. "The door is always open here for .any type of sugges tions," he said, citing the right of petition as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States. In the past, when roads were poor, Colbert said, stu dents traveled to the migra tion games by train. Since the railroad, a public carrier, assumed responsibility for the students' welfare and safety, we could give official approv al to migration. Wednesday night. The IFC then gave the executive com cil a vote of confidence. . James S.. Pittinger, assist ant to the chancellor, stated, "I feel that recognition on the part of the IFC of the desir ability of coping with prob lems as they arise and meet ing them themselves is a po sitive forward step." Frank Hallgren, associate dean of Student Affairs, said, "I'm glad to see fraternities handling fraternity affairs." The IFC then approved the formation of a tax committee to investigate real estate prop erty taxes and the basic tax structure of the fraternity sys tem at the University. The committee is headed by Joel Meier and members are Dale Pieper, Pat Clare, John Schroeder, Warren Hill and Ivan Grupe. According to Ferguson, the reasons behind the commit tee include the, "widening dif ference in the monthly house bill between a dormitory and a fraternity." Ferguson said, "reasons for the increasing difference include a rapidly rising tax rate, increased eco nomy on the part of the dorm itories due to mass purchas ing power, and other fac tors." This committee, according to Ferguson, is just part of the IFC's program which it is hoped will aid in the low ering of operating costs and will enable fraternities to re main in competition with dormitories financially. Scholarship Deadline In other business, Roger Myers, chairman of the af fairs committee, announced the deadline for the IFC Schol arship as Nov. 3. The affairs committee also had several recommendations by Dr. Sammuel Fuenning, director of Student Health, which were accepted by the IFC. Instruction in first-aid for ail health chairmen will be gin at the end of November. The course of instruction will be oriented toward the prob lems of a major disaster. The course of instruction will be set up at the convience of the health chairmen. Several recommendations on the duties and responsibil ities of the health chairmen included a 45-minute meeting for health chairmen to ex plain the services of Student Health and the responsibil ities of the health chairman. In other business, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Gage were se lected as editors of the 1962 IFC rush booklet. Mum's the Word Mortar Boards will be selling Homecoming mums through next week at the dorms and houses. Mumt sell for $1 and will be de livered to the residences and to the Student Union on Homecoming morning. Reader's Digest Increases J-School Grant To $1,000 The Reader's Digest Foun- dation has renewed and dou bled its grant to the Univer sity School of Jouralism for 1961-62, announced Dr. Wil liam E. Hall, director of the School of Journalism. In presenting the $1,000 grant, Sterling W. Fisher, ex ecutive director of the founda tion, said the funds were for student expenses involved in news research projects. Dr. Hall explained the grant money would be used to as sist students working on mag azine and newspaper depth articles. He said that the "value of such a giant to our training program cannot be over-emphasized. We can de mand a complete and profes sional treatment of each assignment." Students in depth reporting courses taught by R. Neale Copple have had stories pub lished in Nebraska papers as well as papers outside the state. Their magazine arti cles have appeared in trade journals, educational maga zines and Sunday newspaper supplements. Dr. Hall said that this year Professor Copple will concen trate on depth reporting courses and Prof. Alan Mar shall, former Newsweek de partmental editor, will take over the magazine courses. Dr. Hall reported that depth reporting students are now planning a detailed study of a second vital Nebraska prob lem. Their first project was the study of Nebraska's uni cameral legislature. .
