MONEY-MAKING SMILE
Apple and peanut seller, big Jim C. (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."

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.

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.
