this semoster will probably equal
that of the first semester.
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. Heavy registration of late
students on Monday will probably
raise the total considerably.
The mark set in the registration
of the second semester of last year
was 3,151 nnd at the beginning of

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-

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

narent and a white parent produced
four black guinea pigs. These black
guinea pigs, however, might produce

Orchids, as everyone knos, are
the most delicate of flowers. To

PICTURES FOR YEAR
TO BE
Seniors and Juniors Should Have
Photographs Taken Soon for
1922 Cornhusker.
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,
