FRESHMAN HOP, FRIDAY EVE., ROSEWILDE
STUDENTS ADOPT
f NEW SYSTEM
Registration Under New Plan
proceeding in Good Shape
After Slow Start.
jUANY FINISH ALL BUT
PAYING OF THE FEES
Advisers Busy During Vacant
Periods Clearing Up Rough
Spots in Programs.
Following a rather slow start Tues
day ami Wednesday students of the
University of Nebraska woke up to
the fact that registration for the sec
ond semester of the 1921-22 school
vear was being conducted Thursday
morning and all day long most advis
ers were busy helping their students
over the rough spots In their pro
grams. Many students, those who were wise
enough to take advantage of the early
hours and light rush, had finished all
of the work of registering except the
paying of fees which cannot be done
until examination week, by the end of
the third day of the registering.
Students in all colleges found good
use of their vacant periods both Wed
nesday and Thursday making out tem
porary programs and straightening
courses out in general,.
Work of registering under the new
system is progressing much smoother
than it did in the former system of a
three day rush and more rush system.
Advisers have more time to take care
of each student and can easily correct
any mis-registration. Students, many
of them, disapprove of the system
simply because of this. Yet most of
their disapproval is merely fancy and
counts for little.
Even though registration was gett
ing fairly well under way Thursday
and promised to provide a busy day
Friday, students must come early to
avoid the payment of a late registra
tion fine. All of the preliminary work
of registering must be out of the way
by next Wednesday and this leaves
but four days left in which to regist
er. Last minute rushes will undoubted
ly find many students locked out and
conrronting the payment of a late fee.
Much confusion has so far been
avoided under the new system of reg
istering. Students register directly
with their advisers and the work is
much quicker as well as much more
Fi'tis'-fory. I'ndrr the old system
students sometimes used the entire
three days to get through the line
and then found themselves confront
ed with rcrious erio:s in their pro
"Miiis -..iter th? registration was sup
posedly completed. This required fur
ther r.'d tape and dilly-dallying. The
advis' r- now catch practically all er
rors and the work progresses much
faster.

TRYOUTS NEXT WEEK
Girls Will Compete For Dance to
Be Staged Some Time in
The Spring.
The tryouts for the W. A. A. dance
drama that is to be staged in the
spring, will be held Thursday and
Friday noons, January 12 and 13. The
dance-drama will probably be worked
out from somo story in Greek myth
ology, with dancing parts for both in
dividuals and groups. This event will
take the place of the annual Minor
Sports contest which has formerly
been an individual competition in
aesthetic dancing ami Indian club
swinging, with points given only to
the winners. This style of contest has
been disposed of entirely. The plan is
to get the greatest amount of the
bast talent working together in the
development of a beautiful story.
Every girl who takes part will re
ceivo one hundred W. A. A. points,
the equivalent of those received by
members of any first team in a major
sport. If conditions are possible the
fete will be an out-door affair, oth
erwise it will he produced in the Tem
ple theater.
Eligibility to take part is determ
ined by the try-outs in the technique
given. Miss Donna Gustin and Miss
Marjoris Barstow, assisted by Miss
Dorothy Whelpley, the dancing leader
and her committee, will judge the try
outs. Those on the committee are:
Dorothy Whelpley, leader; Marjorie
Barstow, Irma Johnson, Beulah Gra
bill, Dorothy Dougan. The advertising
committee is Sue Stille, and Esther
McClelland.
Every girl in school who has had
any training in aesthetic dancing is
urged to try out. A part in an event
ot this kind managed by trained
leaders is a valuable experience. The
100 points given will admit girls to
the Womens' athletic association as
well as be a starter on the official
"N" sweater. Sign the poster on the
Armory bulletin board for the- time
you intend to try out. The list of
echnique is posted on the same board.
BUILDING PROBLEMS
FOR FARM IN 1922
Mr. I. D. Wood of Extension De
partment Delivers Address
on Farm Problems.
Forty nun were present at 1'06 Ag
ricultural engineering hall, Tuesday
morning when Mr. I. D. Woo.! ot t'..e
extension department spoke on "Farm
Building Problems in 1922." Mr. Wood
staated that more building .s going
on now than at any previous time ex
cept during 1914. Inquiries at t.ie ( l
ego show that many mrmers expect
. do building this year. A graphical
'hart showing rehtive wholesale
prices of farm products, lumber and
building m: terial. house furnishing
cnoris. and metals and metal products
from 1914 to 1921 added greatly to the
:nterest taken in the subject. It
showed that building material is twice
ns high as in 1914, while farm pro
duce as a whole is oniy 10 per cent
above the 1914 price. The com fai
mer's produce is bringing much less
now than then.
Because of the largo number of men
now unemployed, Mr. Wood stated
that some reduction In the cost of
labor could b expecterd but thi't
there is little hope for lower prices
of material in the noxt two years. He
impressed upon prospective builders
the economy of pomipnent buildings
as compared with flimsy structures.
The unkeep of the latter is very high
-nd the lire risk is groat. Fires cost
he United States 15.000 lives and
5.00 per capita in property loss every
vear. In his discussion of nethods
T construction, Mr. Wood explained
different ways of guarding against fire
'ossos. He also explained ti t rv
method of brick construction and the
"se of steel frames for millriing9. The
.-Mk included many interesting slides
illustrating construction of founda-
"nns. tvpes of buildings, wast- of ma
terial on farms; also location, airnnge-
ment and drainage of farmsteads.
Those present showed a grc't in
terest by asking questions and offer-

TO
BE F
First Year Class to Give Dance at
The Rosewilde This
Evening.
Freshman hop, the second of the
class dances to be given by University
of Ntbrasna classes, will be held at
.h3 Rosewilde party bouse Friday
evening at 8:30. Plans for the minor
details are practically completed and
.he only important part of the pro
gram remaining undone is the decorat
ing which is on the program for this
afternoon.
The members of the decorating com
mittee, tho names of whom were pub
ished in the Daily Nebraskan for yest
erday, are asked to meet at the Rose
wilde Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock
to help put up the decorations. The
class colors, especially the erstwhile
green, will be very evident.
Tickets' for the hop have been on
sale for the past two days by the
members of the Green Goblins and
Mystic Fish societies, freshman men s
and women's organizations. Owing to
t misunderstanding it was announced
that the price of the pasteboards
would be $1, but Uncle Sam seem
:o nsist that the war tax on dances
remain the same, so the price must
ba, tho usual $1.10 that has become so
naturl to us.
Some two hundred couples of the
University merry-makers are expected
to attend the freshman hop. The hop
i? one of the few dances scheduled
in the University calendar for Friday
and should draw a good share of the
Cornhusker patronage.
Freshman hops and parties have
borne as a rule the reputation of hav
ing lots of spirit and the party Friday
evening is expected to be no excep
tion. Committees have been working
hard since before Christmas to get the
plans into shape and they are about
ready to blow the starting whistle,
Ackerman's orchestra will furnish the
-Music for the dance.
BRACKET TALKS ON
FARM ELECTRICITY
nteresting Address Given to Ne
braska Farm Equipment
Association.
Professor E. E. Brackett, of the ia
ricultural engineering department, re
cently gave a very interesting talk at
the annual meeting of the Nebraska
farm equipment association. Mr
Brackett spoke Tuesday aiten. ion at
two o'clock. His subject was "Farm
E'.ectric Light Plants."
The interest of the audien-.e was
evidenced by close attention to the
speaker and hy the number of ques
tions which were asked at the close
;,f the discourse.
Mr. Brackett quoted figures lroin
the state department of agri ultrnj
showing that where heauiig and water
systems aro found in country hom.-s
light plants aro found as well. He
pointed out that the expense of an ir-
dividual plant under proper care
should be about the fame as usir.;,
city current. Two tyi.es of planus
which have recently been placed en
the market were mentioned. One 'b
windmill driven and the other is a I
vantageous in that it does not employ
storage batteries.
A general discussion followed the
lecturo. The more important ques
tions that came up r-'ated to the prac
ticability of the wind mill driven
plant and to the size of outfit the
average farmer should procure for liis
needs. Professor Brackett explained
hat while tho wind mm plants were
more expensive than others lo statt
with, there was comparatively no fuel
expense. He recommended that the
verage farmer should have a plant
largo enough to drive a one-luff horse
ower motor.
NEBRASKA SCHOOL
BEING INVESTIGATED
Under the direction of Dr. Fordyce
of tho teachers college, the Nebraska
burcr.u of educational research is con
ducting investigations in the schools
of Nebraska and is publishing the re
sults for the information of t'u. pub
lic. Educational testi and measure
ments aro being made in a large num
ber of schools, and much material is
being colected that is of the highest
educational value. This is a part of a
national movement that has for its
purpose concerted efforts for the im
provement of our schools by stimu
li. ting local activities.
WAR TAK ON SODAS
GIVEN K.O. BLOW
Uncle Sam Removes Bothersome
Tax Movies and Dances
Still Pay Duty.
War tax on sodas, that abominable
thing which has been slowly but sure
ly eating up the pennies and nickels
from the spending money drawer of
students and other refreshment seek
ers in general, has been given the
knockout blow. By an order of Uncle
Sam, at the same moment as Father
Time ushered in the New Year, the
bothersome tax on ice cream was re
called. Drug stores and other eating
houses no longer collect the "penny
on the dime."
Taxes on theaters and dances are
siill in effect that is unless the price
of admission is less than a dime. This
being an almost unheard of or unhop
ed for circumstance students and
amusement seekers may forget any
hope they had of having the tax re
pealed. I When the announcement of the re
peal of the tax first came out most
people applied it to all things which
now have amusement taxes on them.
An inquiry Thursday, however, re
vealed that only on ice cream and on
amusements having a charge of less
than a dime is the tax repealed. So
students must continue paying out
'.heir pennies until Uncle Sam gets- a
chango of heart.

men are particularly anxious that all
students recommended to them be re
liable, so the bureau is asking each
applicant for a number of references.
These inferences will b- looked up
so that it. is possible to recommend
only reliable and wo; thy students for
employment.
At the present time the outlook for
mploynnnt is the same as it has
been for sometime. Mr. Altstadt states
hat he has been able to locate a good
i.iai.y students in restaurants and
cafes. In this way it is possible for
the r'tudent to earn his board and
this is considered a big item for many
students.
The bureau is anxious that all stud
ents that must have employment call
it the offico in the Temple building
at once. It is possible in this way
to locate the most needy right away.
V goodly number of students have had

but it Is brought out that every one

The Best Quintets in The
1922 Conference Race.
Of
The Dusker basketball squad will
arrive in Lincoln some time this morn
ing and will take a good workout this
afternoon in preparation for the Wash
ington Pikers; who open the season
here tomorrow night. This will be the
initial Missouri Valley game for the
Cornhusker quintet.
On account of a few changes in the
schedule, basket ball fans have not
had a chance to see the 1922 quintet
in action as yet this year and the
contest with the St. Ijouis team will
afford the first opportunity. Coach
Frank will probably use the same line
up against the Washington team that
started against, the Wisconsin Badg
ers.
In the Wisconsin contest Wednes
day night, the inability of the Nebras
ka men to put the ball, through the
hoop after working it down under
the goal was quite noticeable. The
Huskers were able to negotiate only
three field goals throughout tho entire
gams. Captain Smith, Holland, and
Russell secured one apiece. Smith
tossed eight free throws for the re
maining points.
Saturday night's game will be
played in the Coliseum at the State
Fair grounds. The game will begin
promptly at 7:45. The Lincoln Trac
tion Company expect to add a few cars
on that line Saturday night to take
care of the large crowd.
Inter-College Basket Ball.
Practically every college on the
campus have organized a cage team
and a schedule will be drawn up in
a short time for the various rounds
of games to determine the champion.
The Engineers seem to have the
jump on some of the other colleges
in getting organize 1 and have pla; eii
a few practice games already.
The Arts and Science men will
have a fast team in the tournament,
and the Business Administration
nuintet is working out every day. The
other colleges are expected to follow
suit within the next week and some
fast teams are expected from the col
leges. Coach John Pick- tt continues to
put the freshman squad through their
daily grind and is rapidly rounding
the yearlings into shape. A number
of former hiph school stars have re-pert-.l
