REGISTRATION
The new system of freshman regis
tration obviously has proven success
ful. Subjects taken by freshmen are
practically all required ones and must
be carried the entire school year. The
elimination of most of the second
semester registration of first year Btu-
dents has efficiently saved time for
all students, work for the registration
committee and money for the Univer
eity.
FORESIGHT
There are many important beneficial
things which the new semester will
bring things that some of us are go
ing to misa if we do not look ahead
clearly and plan our work accordingly.
The other day a student was lament
ing having missed Robs Hammond's
address at Convocation. "But," this
student explained, "that notebook had
to be handed in."
While there will not be perhaps any
more Attorney General Sir Frederick
E. Smith's in Lincoln this semester,
there will be other events Just as
epoch marking. And while people
come from all parts of the state to
attend, there will be students Just
around the corner or across the street
who will not be able to go because
they did not plan their work ahead.
THE VALUE OF SCHOLARSHIP
William De Witt Hyde recently gave
the freshman class at Bowdoin college
the following advice:
"Put your studies first; and that for
three reason's. First, you will have a
better time in college. Hard work Is
a necessary background for the enjoy
ment of everything else. Second, after
the first three months you will stand
better with your fellows. At first
there will appear cheaper roads to
distinction, but their cheapness is soon
found out. Scholarship alone will not
give you the highest standing among
their highest respect without showing
your fellows; but you will not get
that you can do well something that
Is intellectually difficult. Third, your
future career depends upon it. Four
or eight years hence, when you are
looking for business or professional
openings, your college record will, to
some extent, determine your start in
life. You are making a more perma
nent record than that upon a card;
you are writing in the nerve-cells and
films of your brain habits of accuracy,
thoroughness, order, power, or their
opposltes; and twenty, thirty, forty
years hence that record will make or
mar your success in whatever you
undertake."
OUR MEDIOCRE MAN
"Every now and then we hear peo
ple wonder at this or that young
man's getting a commission or making
an excellent soldier. They say he
never amounted to anything In busi
ness or professional life. AH very
true. But that doesn't prove a man
will not make a good, brave, and per
haps an extraordinary soldier. War
brings out qualities In a man we never
tfreamed of his having." Exchange.
How precisely does the author of
"the above hit the nail on the head.
Today Is a day of opportunity for the
college man. Many of this class have
plodded through their college courses
without an iota of responsibility.
Father has been kind enough to elimi
nate all worry over financial problems
and the absence of scholarship Ideals
and ambitions has permitted them to
ride along without a super-exercise of
the Intellect,
But shed of these handicaps, as they
are in the service of the country, our
fellows who were at best mediocre
while In the university will develop
their latent capacities. Those who
have received commissions will be re
quired to make good in handling men
and there the test will come. In civil
life General U. S. Grant was con
sidere'l a failure. Dell y Iowan.

Twins' Club Elects
Officers for Semester

Saturday evening, January 19, at the
home of Frances and Ramona Cham-
berlln. The following officers were
elected for the next semester:
Presidents, Frances and Ramona
Chamberlin; vice presidents, Glenn
and Gayle Prlckwell; secretaries, Ruth
and Esther Jones; treasurers, Elsa
and Louise Pierce. Alice and Alma
Crawford were appointed on the

for a new-fashioned taffy pull, the
candy being made from a war recipe.
It was one of the most enjoyable of
the twins' club parties.
The Twins' club has had the mis
fortune of losing seven of its mem
bers and the glory of giving five of
this number to war service.
All twins will be welcomed and
It would be appreciated if they would
leave their names with the secretaries,

LAY CORNER STONE
FOR TEACHERS' COLLEGE
Dean Fordyce and Chancellor
Avery Take Prominent Part
in Friday Services
The corner stone of the new Teach
ers College high school was laid Fri
day at 3 o'clock. The ceremony was
short, there being present mainly the
faculty of the Teachers' College and
a few of their friends. Dean Fordyce
placed the mortar under the corner
stone and Chancellor Avery gave a
brief and very appropriate address,
speaking of the rapid strides that the
profession of education has made dur
ing the last quarter of a century and
saying that this field of research work
is now gaining a place among the
sciences.
The Teachers' College was estab
lished ten years ago by the board of
regents and the Btate legislature and
by an act of the state legislature it
was among the first college of its
kind to be established in the country,
although now almost every state uni
versity on the continent has estab
lished a college of education. The
Teachers' College maintains an ex
perimental school in which are
worked out the best methods of in
struction and supervision.
Tlie contractor promises to have the
new building ready to be occupied by
September, 1918. The building will
house all departments of education to
gether with the Teachers' College
high school which will be enlarged to
include the Junior high school.
One hundred fifty feet of moving
picture film were taken during the
exercises.

sons. This report comes in conflict
with alarm given unofficially in recent
editions of metropolitan and out state
newspapers. Confidence that the Uni
versity will be able to cope with the
conditions arising is growing general
ly and a successful new semester Is
anticipated by all.
The registration last week was
marked by "the absence of all the red
tape which has characterized all form
er ones. As a consequence, the lines
of students waiting their turn with
the various committees were much
shorter, and it was possible for the
average student to finish the entire
program in less than an hour. Co
eds appeared to outnumber men in
the lines by nearly two to one major
ity, proving that men are going to

COMPLETING PLANS FOR
"FETE OF ALL NATIONS"
Characteristic Production Fast
Rounding Into Shape
TO BE SEASON'S BIG HIT
Most Novel Entertainment of Year to
Be Given Under Auspices of
Students and Faculty
"The Fete of All Nations" to be
given February 9th at the Temple Is
expected to be the season's hit among
University entertainments. This is
due perhaps to the universal interest
being shown in the preparation of the
fete by the students in co-operation
with the members of the faculty. A
committee to take definite charge of
the affair will be announced Wednes
day and will be responsible for the
future development of the undertak
ing. Prof. II. B. Alexander Is now pro
paring a pageant which will feature
at this event, and which probably will
be made known by Friday.
Although no committee has yet
been assigned to supervise .the work,
plans for the fete are progressing
rapidly. The various organizations
have been assigned the parts which
they are to take in the production and
practices are already being held for
that purpose.
Particular notice is given the
change of the plans in regard to this
occasion mado necessary by the con
servation policy adopted by University
authorities and which require that all
entertainments close at 10:30 o'clock.
The original intentions of those in
charge were that the first part of the
program be given in the Temple and
that the party then be taken from
there to the Armory where a dance
has been arranged for. Due to the
closing rules, however, the dance will
be omitted and the program com
menced at 7:15 o'clock so that the
entertainment will be completed by
10:30 o'clock in compliance with ordi
nance. An admission of. 30 cents will be
charged and an extra charge of five
cents will be made for refreshments.
The fete will be given in the differ
ent rooms of the building, a room
being given for each booth so as to
make a complete representation of
the nations possible. Following are
the organizations and the nation each
will represent:
English Club British Islands
Latin Club Italy
Tegner Society Scandinavia
Komensky Klub Bohemia
Art Club Persia
Physical Education Department....
Russia
Soiree Francaise France
Minstrel Show Alpha XI Delta
Pan-Hellenic Greece
Dramatic Club Holland
All of the representations will be
made at least two times during the
evening and some will be repeated
more often.
