yearbook:
success

by Chris Harper
The UNL yearbook, the Cornhusker, appears to be a
success that failed.
The 1972 Cornhusker has received an Ail-American rating
and four out of five marks of distinction from the A&ociated
Collegiate Press (ACP). The Yearbook, however, was
discontinued last April because of financial losses.
"It's too bad that when something is good that there isn't
enough support for it on the campus," said Jody Beck, 1972
Cornhusker editor. "It's ironic that students won't support a
good yearbook when bad yearbooks at other universities
continue to prosper."
In 1905 the first Cornhusker rolled off the presses, Beck
said. She added that the book consistently has been in the
"Top 10" of the nation's yearbooks and has won all-American
ratings in 1 1 of the last 12 years of publication.
Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll provided the theme
for the 1972 edition. The book showed the Wonderland
characters weaving their way through last year's events at
UNL.
The Cornhusker's demise occurred last April when the UNL
Publications Board voted to discontinue funding because of
financial problems.
"It all comes down to dollars. The book has been losing
about $3,000 a year for the last three or four years," James
Horner, board chairrrian, said last April,
Continuation of the yearbook depended upon a proposed
voluntary fee check-off card for the Cornhusker that would
have been included in students' tuition statements. UNL
Chancellor James Zumberge rejected the proposal last April.
If the yearbook is so highly acclaimed then why did only
2,000 students purchase the book last year?
"The University has changed," Beck said. "People aren't
part of the University community like they used to be."
The Cornhusker always had covered campus organizations
prior to 1970 and members of these organizations purchased
the book, according to Bill Ganzel, 1971 yearbook editor.
"Anymore there are many students who just come to the
University to study or go to class and then go home," Ganzel
said.
Ganzel's observations prompted a change in the 1971
yearbook. .
"We tried to broaden our base, to appeal to more
students," he said. "We tried to show what is really happening
in the University, not just on greek row."
But the change caused problems. As Ganzel observed: It
was like walking out on your girlfriend or getting a divorce.
The Greeks had been our major readership and they didn t like
the change. Many houses threatened not Jo buy space in the
book unless the format was changed back."
