The number of students who had completed the registration last Sat urday, according to an unofficial count, was announced to be exceed ing 3,414.

The mark set in the registration of the second semester of last year was 3,151 nnd at the beginning of this 3.S74 students were on the roll. TALM HEREDITY Freshman Lecture Group Hear Address on "Heredity in Ani mals and Men." "What we are Is principally deter mined by heredity, environment, and the use we makf of our inheritance and environment," declared Prof. F. D. Barker to tne freshmen class Tuesday morning in his lecture on ''Heredity in Animals and Men." Prof. Barker explained tne methods of race propagation and their effect upon physical and mental cim-acttr istics in both lower and higher ani mals. "A poor heredity can be partially overcome by a wholesale environ ment." said the speaker. This point was illustrated by taking for an ex ample two varieties of peas, one dwarf and one climbing. A dwart pea will not climb if it is gi-.cn the best trellis, while a inibing pea cannot climb unless it has a trellis for assistance. In other words both factors, a good heredity and a good environment, are -necessary to tht highest developments cf b.dy an character. Heredity is closely associated with propagation. The lower forms ot life propagate by division. One animal simply becomes two. In a sense therefore, the amoeba is immortal although it is a question whether it is better to live a million years as an amoeba or sixty years as a human being. Coming to the higher forms of ani mal life, Prof. Barker said tiiey do not divide but certain cells of their bodies are set aside for the mork of reproduction. These cells are mic roscopic in size but have in them the nee! of the race. Each cell has a nuceleous which is the centei cf life Each cell also has granules in which .re possessed every characteristic of tho animal. physical and mcntaL These granules are determiners for every characteristic, such as color size, shape, hair, tendecie.", mental traits, etc. Every germ cell contain- two de'.crm.rers, one Voia eacn pu ent In the process of ripening, each r-Ji throws rff one determine "t v . Which one It shall be is simpl gov erned bv chance. This is the iirst phenomena of heredity, The second phenomena of bered ity Is the chance reunion of two rlp- ned germ cells and the consequent bringing together of two determin ers. The male and female cells must be united to produce an animal and this process again brings together two determiners in one cell. Wner two different determiners unite, one will dominate. To illustrate this point some slides of guinea pigs ere shown. A black narent and a white parent produced four black guinea pigs. These black guinea pigs, however, might produce white ones or spotted ones u tne Heat union of determiners occurred A union of to defective peopie will produce defectives. A union of ef fective and a normal person may or may not produce a defective depend- ine entirely upon whether or not th normal determiners unite. Traits are passed on for three ot four generations, thus the Import ance of knowing one's ancesiry.

The Doctor of Music degree was conferred upon Sergei Rachmaninoff, noted composer, Tuesday morning at convocation.

Will Co-eds Sporl Orchids From University Greenhouse It is necessary to keep the univer sity greenhouse closely guarded, both day and night, for fear some despe rate co-ed suitor might break iii and gather precious orchids for the "iady of his heart" to weaT to the next for mal.

How envious all. th the. girls would be, and how the otlier fellows witsh that they too. coula have presented their "one and only' with the "fairest flower of a1!." Orchids, as everyone knos, are the most delicate of flowers. To raise them in this country Is beyond all hopes. The only way to har them in America is to import thi plants and care for them as one would & child. The work of producing ot chlds Is almost as complicated as rearing the "model university Laby. The care-taker of the orchid Is every bit as proud of the orchids as the Home Ec. girls are of their baby. The caretaker explained how the orchid plants were sent to the unl versity from the Philippines abon. eight years ago. They nave oeen watered daily and gone over with spray and "flower protectors. in appreciation of all this time and wor ry, the orchids have blossomed yearr. This, however, .is their gala. year.

Seniors and juniors are urged to have their photographs for tit 1922 Cornhusker taken as soon as possible. Go early and avoid the rush, is the advice of the Cornhusker staff. The editor-in-chief desires to send photo grahs to the engravers from time t time, rather than send them in large numbers near the time of publication. If the engraver is allowed reasonable time in which to do the work, he will be able to produce a picture of better quality. These pictures are a very essential art of the student's yearbook. Un derclassmen look in the senior and junior class sections for familiar faces and especially for those freni their home town. Seniors ard jun iors should feel that they ar cootiio- uting their part to the l?z' "Kvery body's Cornhusker" when they pre sent themselves to the photographer for a portrait. Editor in-chief. Ward Randcl sug gested that there might not be time as opportune as the next two weeks for seniors end juniors to rave theii pictures taken. After the next two weeks, the second semester's work will be in full swing and it will be more difficult for the student to find time for a sitting. Not that university studei ts, em- barking upon the new semester, are interested in the growth of orchids, but merely to enlighten some "bo tanically Inclined education seekers," urchids grow from short, creeping rootstocks. These bear undivided, often fleshy, parallel-veined eaes and the beautiful, fragrant flower, of ten grotesque or inimitating animal farms. There are many species of orchids, belonging to many genera, classed in ten tribes. They are usually found In the tropics. Now that you know all about the flower, that is favored by most presl dens' wives, do not attempt to raise them for not even greenhouses, other than of the university, has success fully produced them. It has been said that the most beneficial way for a "sweet youna thing" to possess orchids is to make genuine use of the wedding veil. But even in this case It is often the cus torn to economize and use lilies oi the valley or sm-e'.cart roses. All of these things, appa;entlQ, have been taken into consideration. and the one way left to get an orchiu is to murder the care-takers cf the greenhouse and make away with the precious plant. Better not, however, say ft with orchids." Doris Adeline Weaver, 17, Is teach ing history in the Orange high school. Orange, Calif. DR.
