Engineering magazine
returns after absence
by Duane Leibhart
The two new co-editors of
UNL's Blue Print magazine are
working to get their
engineering publication back in
print after last year's failure.
Norman Newhouse and Jim
Wirth were selected by the
Engineering College
publications board to revive
Blue Print. The editors are
juniors at UNL, Wirth is an
agricultural engineer and
Newhouse a mechanical
engineer.
WIRTH SAID last year's
Courier II
folds for
financial
reasons
After attempting for weeks
to get official recognition from
the University, Courier II has
ceased publication, said Kent
Davy, editor.
The newspaper, a
student-owned weekly, folded
for financial reasons, Davy
said. "It took too long to
receive the recognition needed
to boost advertising."
"I'm certain an independent
paper can make it on campus."
Davy said. However, Courier II
needed about double the
capital it started with in
September, he added. The
paper was started by five
students with S400 apiece.
The Courier II staff, under
the name Graver and Co.,
recently received temporary
approval of their constitution
from ASUN and temporary,
permission from the UNL
administration to distribute in
campus buildings.
Grover and Co. will still ask
approval of their constitution
from ASUN, although the
organization will not publish a
newspaper again this year,
Davy said.
One good result from the
experiences of the Courier II
staff, Davy said, was that it
mapped out the channels other
groups can use when seeking to
publish an independent student
newspaper.
solitary editor got sick and the
small staff couldn't get the job
done. Last year's staff got only
one issue out and it was very
late said the editor.
Blue Print is on probation
with its national office
although the UNL magazine
has won national awards in the
past, he said .
The previous editor is
refunding last year's student
subscription money through
the engineering department
offices, said Wirth. All other
subscribers who didn't get the
magazine will receive ii free
this year, he said.
THE BLUE PRINT staff
will attempt to get the
magazine back on good terms
with engineering students this
year by distributing it to them
free, Wirth said.
Wirth said a Lincoln printer
will print the magazine and
give them monthly operating
expenses of $ 1 50 for the right
to sell the advertising.
Their agreement calls for
3,000 copies to be printed
every month, 2,200 for the
campus and the rest for
mailing. The editor said they
will publish six issues this year.
ACCORDING TO Wirth,
the format of the publication
will be changed. He said all 13
staff members are attempting
to make the mazagine more
readible for students. Articles
will be worded less technically
than before.
. Blue Print will include
articles by professionals and a
page listing the activities
occuring in all UNL
engineering departments, he
said. The issues will be named
after signs of the zodiac since
they come out in the middle of
the month. The first, the
Scorpio edition, is at the
printers now, Wirth said.
THE PURPOSE of having
co-editors this year is to ease
the jam at mid-month when
one issue goes to print and the
next demands attention, he
said. One editor can
concentrate on the current
issue while the other looks
ahead to next month's, Wirth .
said.
Blue Print needs more staff
members, he added. It is not
necessary to be in the
engineering college to work on
Blue Print.

Huskers host Johnny Carson

"You guys should be ashamed of
yourselves for scoring 55 points," Johnny
Carson told the Nebraska Cornhuskers after
their 55-0 win over Kansas Saturday. "Joe
Namath doesn't even score that much off
the field."
Carson, a 1949 graduate of Nebraska and
now host of the Tonight Show, was a special
guest at Nebraska's Homecoming game. He
visited with Nebraska players and coaches in
the dressing room after the game.
"WE DIDN'T DO too well in 1949," said
Carson of the team that had a 4-5 record,
"but you guys really have it together this
year."
"Hey, Mr. Carson. Have you ever had a
victory shower?" shouted Nebraska reserve
center Doug Jamail.
"Yes I have," replied Carson, "but I don't
think I'm ready for another one today. I
have to go to President Vamer's house for
dinner and I wouldn't iook too good in a
wet suit."
Carson, who admits that he usually
doesn't follow college football too closely,
says he's taken a special interest in Nebraska
this year.
"Since I'm from New York I naturally
follow pro football more," said Carson, "but
they're not playing football there this year.
"I'VE TAKEN MORE interest in
Nebraska this year. I've known that they
were No. 1, but I didn't know they were this
good. They really move fast."
Carson said he never participated in
sports at Nebraska.
"With this build they'd kill me" said
Carson. "I was too skinny for football, too
short for basketball and too sexy for golf."
Carson said he's noticed several
changes in the Nebraska campus.
"I knew things had changed when I
couldn't find my way from the student
union to the football field," said Carson.
Carson, who has a vacation from
television next week, assured Nebraskans
that he would mention the Cornhuskers on
his program.
"I MANAGED TO sneak away from the
show for a week," grinned Carson, "but I'll
be talking about the Cornhuskers when I get
back in a week. I'll have to do a little
bragging."
Asked if he was disappointed by seeing
such a lopsided game, Carson replies: 'Of
course not. I'm a Nebraskan. I like to see
scores like that."
Students give $33,000 to PACE
A resident of the University community ponders his
strategy of gaining entrance into the Nebraska Union.

If the preliminary figures are correct,
University students contributed about
$33,000 to PACE this semester, said Ann
Pedersen, ASUN Human Rights Committee
chairman.
PACE (Program of Active Commitment
to Education) was developed and approved
by students as a means to provide
scholarships and financial aid to low-income
students.
FORTY PER CENT of the students this
fall donated S3.50 each on their tuition
statements to PACE, a figure higher than the
estimated 33 per cent, Pedersen said.
The $33,000 figure is "beyond my
fondest dreams," said Edward E. Lundak,
Director of the Office of Scholarships and
Financial Aids.
The Financial Aids office was authorized
last summer by the University comptroller
to spend $18,000 for PACE, Lundak said.
Most of the awards were gifts of $100-200,
although some students were given around
$500, he said. -
SOME PACE FUNDS are allocated using
the Educational Opportunity Grant (EOG)
guideline that a low-income student comes
from a family making less than $6,000 a
year, Pedersen said.
There are many minority students
receiving PACE funds who don't qualify
under the EOG guideline yet would have
been unable to attend college on their family
income Lundak said. Ninety-five per cent of
PACE money went to minority group
students, he said.
Although the funds were designed for
low-income students, Lundak said there
were a lot of minority students whose
families wouldn't qualify under the EOG
standard but were unable to support a
student in college. Ninety-five per cent of
the PACE money went to low-income
minority group students and five per cent to
