Merry Christmas
The Student Council has again set up a discount card
for University sturents, this time with 17 businesses willing
to honor them.
Last year they hit the campus as a surprise, rather a
bonus from Student Council. Once again there has been
little talk about them. All of a sudden here they are.
Now what wise worker would pass up a surprise Christ
mas bonus from his boss? But we, the students of this cam
pus seem to find them sitting in the back of our billfolds
and never taken out.
Just because they are a surprise does not mean that
they are not a good thing. However, unless they are used
this year, it cannot be expected that the businesses will
sign up again.
And, again, when they are used, the business should
not be taken advantage of, as was the case of Chicken De
light last year.
So here, students is your Christmas present for this
year, compliments of Student Council. Don't let it sit under
the Christmas tree all year. Unwrap it and use it.
By Doug Thorn
Being one to put things
off until the last minute, I
belatedly walked into the
book stores to get that
twice-a-year chore out of
the way last Monday. I
strolled in with a smile. I
stumbled out aghast.
They'd cleaned me out
again. Even the guy who
drives a Corvette, and the
girl who fills two closets
with threads moan the
necessary purchase of edu
cation. Being a curious sort, I
sought an answer for the
question "Are book prices
at Nebraska unreason
able?" True, prices are up.
But everyone In the nation
suffers the same dilemma.
Book prices are not regula
ted by the local stores.
They are determined by the
publisher.
It would seem to be a
healthy economic situation
if the book stores were
more in competition. Thus,
one would undersell an
other, forcing the other to
follow suit. At Nebraska the
prices are the same at all
three stores.
This has spurned the ru
mor that they have a sort
of pact, binding each other
to keep prices constant.
This is not true. The book-

They're headed for the primrose path but they'll wind up picking flowers. That's
knowing what to do and when to do it. That's being clean-white-sock. An attitude
that colors everything you do no matter what color your socks. And you get it only

stores have the same prices
for two reasons.
Firstly, two of the stores
are owned by the- same in
terest, so it is obvious the
stores would not go into
competition with one anoth
er. Secondly, the third store
the University Book Store,
ts part of a tax supported
institution and consequent
ly, finds it bad practice to
go into competition with a
private business, according
to a Union store representa
tive. So. we, the students ar
caught in a vice.
Is it unfair? Are we the
victim of a squeeze I must
opine a No. This comes
after looking at some fig
ures other than those hard
cold ones those that leave
our pockets at the book
store counters.
Look at it this way. The
cost of living is up. Conse
quently, wages are hiked.
Everything is up. It costs
the publisher more to print
the book because he has to
pay the printer more.
We just look at that fig
ure on the book. We don't
take a lot of things and a lot
of people into consideration.
Granted this expose won't
lighten the burden, but 1
hope it stops the theory that,
the book stores are out for
blood.
By the way, books are
bought back from the stu
dent depending on the de
mand. If the book is to be
used the next semester, ex
cept a kickback of about
50 percent. If not, it could
be as little as five cents
for a seven dollar book.
Books are sold back to
the student at about 80 of
the original price, which
just about covers the book
store's overhead for the en
tire transaction.
As previously announced
the subject of this column
will often be the national
political scene and its home
base, Washington, D.C.
However, there will be oth
er subjects discussed from
time to time with a princi
ple focus on the significant
questions confronting soci
ety today.
At the moment the Pres
idential election is one of
these questions and as this
writer considers the issues
and candidates it will be
his role to present the read
er with carefully reasoned
judgments on the campaign.
This corner will not be
limited to political ideas but
will also include social, eco
nomic, historical and educa
tional questions. Nor will it
be limited to the national
scene but will also include
comments on international,
state and University prob
lems. Again my main goal will
be objectivity rather than
partisanship; open-minded-ness
rather than blind reas
oning. Although legally this
By Bob Weaver
writer is a political partis
an, criticism will come
where it is warranted. In es
sense the ability to look at
both sides of an issue has
been forgotten and ignored
by other columnists fre
quenting this page.
It is the favorite sport of
these contributors to add to
false issues or to create
them out of a desire to have
a well read column. This is
clearly not by desire..
It has been said that the
university is often a hind
rance in obtaining an edu
cation while living within
it's walls.
Witness: the students time
and energy besides money
placed in inter-collegiate
athletics; the intellect and
leadership lost in trying to
corner the activities mar
ket; the wasted time spent
in many worthless fraterni
ty and sorority pledge activ
ities; the upper class priv
ilege to" get half-crocked any
night of the week.
To use Governor Morris
on's favorite expression:
this is "wasted potential."

One political science faculty
member has stated that
there is an inverse relation
between an institution's foot
ball prowess and its aca
demic attitude and stand
ing in a given year.
Although this would be
difficult to prove, it is in
teresting to consider..
Experience has shown
that activities can be an
easy excuse for spending
one's time if carried to an
extreme. In attempting to
take over the campus, ac
tivity jocks do meet many
people but ignore other vi
tal parts of their education.
Educational excell e n c e
goes beyond class work and
includes the University The
ater, foreign films, Harpers
Magazine, the New York
Times Sunday edition and
Sheldon Art Gallery.
Certainly athletics and
campus activities are im
portant. They too are a
necessary part of one's to
tal education. But they
must be considered within a
balanced picture. Needless
to say, class work forms
the basis and has a right
ful claim to the number one
spot.
