"TALES OF HUSKERS" . WINS MUCH PRAISE Athletic Review Pleases Nebraska Athletes and Students On Sale at Book Store "Tales of the Cornhuskers", the athletic review of Nebraska sport ac tivities of 'the last year, has won milch praise from Nebraska athletes, roaches and students. The book i now on sale at the College Book Store to those who are not entitled to a free copy by virtue of having worked for a Cornhusker athletic team. The price is only fifty cents. The book contains a complete re view of Nebraska athletfcs of aill kinds, from golf to football. An idea of how complete it is may be gained from the fact that every sport is re viewed up to the two final baseball sanies of the year played with Kan sas June 2 and 3. These could not be gotten in the book since it was on the presses at that time. The book is given free to all Ne braska students who worked hard and consistently for aplace on a var sity or freshman team.

This Summer Than Thruout Entire Year 14 Years Ago More sUidents will attend the uni versity this summer than attended Ne braska throughout the entire school year, winter and summer, fourteen years ago, the year before Chancellor Avery became head of the University of Nebraska executive force. Wltn approximately 2,000 attending the first session, it Is believed that he regis tration of less than 1600 both sessions last summer will be doubled. Additional sections in English, edu cation and mathmetics may be re quired because of this increase in en rollment from some 1600 the entire last summer to 2000 the first half tlii;. summer. Many of the small sections of ihe past, too small for good team work and embarrassing to maintain on account of the high per capita student to.''.. will be filled to normal. These change. will probably necessitate a small ad dition to the university budget. In regard to the increase in sum mer school students Chancellor Avey says: "I regard this phenomenal increase to be due to the growing confidence of the people of the state in the uni versity and the fact that they arts looking to it increasingly as a center of intellectual life and of technical training. An immediate cause is liic activity of the alumni organizations under the leadership of Secretary Holtz and the fact that the state or ganization has worked during his ad ministration most harmoniously with the regents and the chancellor. For a number of years the attitude of the public school teachers and superinten dents of the state has been a matter of worry and some perplexity. The recent regential legislation effecting the Teachers college, its reorganiza tion and the placing in control of it a man in whom the school men have confidence has produced a feeling among the public school men of the ttate favorable to the university such as has never heretofore existed in the institution. The unqualified backing of practically all these school men not Only of the Teachers college but of all the colleges of the university seems now assured. It appears to be re fleeted in the attendance and the re marks which the students drop. It is gratifying to note that many school men are themselves attending the sum mer session for advanced work. In enumerating these fundamental causo3 the excellent publicity work of the present director A. A. Reed, should m be overlooked." Very respectfully submitted, (Signed) S. Avery.

At the same time as the Illinois convention, there will be a confer ence of the same groups of deans of mid-west colleges as met at Chicago last month to confer upon the propo sition of a five-year engineering cur riculum. It is hoped that a more defi nife conclusion may be arrived at by this meeting than at the last in re gard to the result of the proposition from a standpoint of curriculum and expense. A report of developments at each of the fifteen institutions as a result of the recommendation made after the Chicago meeting to the ef fect that the five year course de veloped will also be made.

INSTALL CHAPTER OF CHEMICAL FRAT Sixteen Students Initiated Into Rho Chapter of Phi Lambda Upsilon Sixteen students were initiated into Phi Lambda Upsilon, national hono rary chemical organization, a chapter which has just recently been installed at Nebraska. Dr. Gartner, national president and head of the biological department at the University of Min nesota, installed the chapter. The Nebraska chapter is the eighteenth or Rho. The fraternity was founded in 1899. Itsimembership is based upon scholarship and character. It is simi lar to Sigma Xi and Phi Beta, Kappa. Following is' a list of the men who make up the Nebraska chapter: Cecil I. Mathews, Russel E. Palmateer, Roy G. Story, Meyer Beber, Bernard F. McKenzie, Paul E. Peterson, Randolph T. Majors, Ralph V. McGrew, Jouette C. Russel, Marschelle H. Power, Fred W. Jensen, Ralph A. Jacobson, Milo K. Stutzman, Saul B. Arenson, Ru dolph A. Sandsted and Roscoe C. Ab bott. Temporary officers elected are as follows: President, Bernard F. Mc Kenzle; vice president, Rudolph A. Sandsted; secretary, Russel E. Palm ateer; treasurer, Cecil Mathews, and council member, Marschelle H. Power. Plans for starting the building of the University of Nebraska athletic stadium are fast being completed. The architect's plans have been agreed upon and within a few months the first work of clearing the present ath letic field to make roomjor the me morial structure will have been started. The university stadium will be u $350,000 structure. It is being built in place of the planned million dol lar memorial gymnasium which was eliminated from the university future plans by the action of the legislature last fall in cutting down the state ex penses and incidentally withdrawing the appropriation for the athletic structure. The structure as now planned will run one block north of the present athletic field. New ground has been contracted for in that region. The playing field will extend from north and south with the main entrances, to the south. A quartermile cinder track will run all the way around the gridiron. Plans as now completed call for building the playing field eight feet below the surface of the ground lu order that a complete oval may be made. This action will lower the ex pense of building concrete bleachers and grandstands. It will require the work of many men to clear away the dirt, But the cost in so doing will be less than the cost of erecting con crete seats all the way around. Tho new stadium when completed will seat 35,000 people. It is to be built in several units. LARGE ENROLLMENT CAUSES CONFUSION Instructors and Students Have Hard Time Getting Started With Classes Large enrollment in summer school classes has caused considerable con fusion to instructors and students in general. Registration for the first session this year is nearly double that for both sessions last year. This unexpected heavy enrollment baa found many classes with students in high numbers enrolled. The instructors of the different courses have been busy, making every effort to rearrange and schedu llze their classes to fit in with the enrollment. The teachers of the state have taken advantage of the courses in education and a Urge ma jority of the classes in that work are overflowing. Most ot these have been divided into halves and several classes (Continued on Page Four.) l A - " fall B I iJ I 1 1 Activities urnce loaay, i.uv Get Tennis Tickets at Student i i
