In many of the eastern colleges, psychological tests are taking the place of the old terrors of entrance examinations. The new test is known as the Binet mental system, "the idea being to measure the student's intelligence rather than his knowledge." The system was first established in France by Albert Binet for the discovery of the per cent of mentally retarded students in his country. High school and preparatory students can be coached to pass entrance examinations when their intelligence does not class them as material for further educational development. The requirements of the Binet system for admission to colleges are included in the applicant's health record, his character, and promise of development and his school record. The radical departure from the old system is the doing away of the old style of entrance examinations to find the student's knowledge of the subjects required by the college. This departure is covered by the psychological tests which determine whether he is qualified to continue his schooling. GET ACQUAINTED AT CHURCH. Wear your bright clothes and a smile and the Lincoln churches will make you welcome at their receptions tonight The city churches have sent out an open invitation to every Uni versity student and member of the faculty, no matter what may be their denomination to attend theic annual social gathering. Tonight is a closed night which makes it possible for the students to attend one of Lincoln's many churches. These receptions are always largely attended, because it affords an easy medium for the University people to become acquainted with each other and with ' their respective churches. Students that are new on the campus and especially those that have not made a great number of friends so far will find that these gatherings greatly add to the democracy of college life. THE NEW CHEER LEADERS. The Innocents have set upon a democratic plan to pick the yell leaders for the coming athletic events by giving every student an opportunity to show his ability as a cheer leader at Freshman con vocation. The rooters themselves will choose by popular vote the men and women they want to lead them at the games. Cheer leaders should be bursting with pep and ambition and full of the never die spirit Acrobatic prowess Is also a valuable asset, but is not absolutely necessary. As one of the leaders you are given the privilege of doing a service for Nebraska by building up Cornhusker spirit The large duty of the cheering staff is to instill Husker enthusiasm into the rooters when our goal is in danger. Spirit always runs high during victory but the team needs your support most when the tide has turned against them. There are a number of men who have led yells in their respective schools and it is up to every one of you to be out in force Tuesday. The democratic mode of choosing the candidates offers each of you the chance to Jump into popularity at the out-start of your college career. NOT SO IN ENGLAND. Hurry is an American vice. And it is pretty well agreed that as a whole we carry it too far. But now it has been proposed that we cany it still farther and by no other person than President Lowell of Harvard College. In a recent speech he urged that students should endeavor to get out into life at an earlier age. He states that busi se.ns now demands the yojng mn and has little use for the old one. He also adds that the young men that btart early usually maintain their lead over the men who start later on in life because they have a longer time in which to work and thus gain a larger measure of n1M.iiR.ie snccesR.
