"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. It is sent
free to the captains of all high school
basketball and track teams and to the
coaches of all high schools. The ad
vertising is fhe means of financing
the scheme w&jch has proved very
popular with all Cornhuskers.
The book is printed on paper the
" same size' as that used in the Corn
huskers. It contains pictures of all
athletic teams together with the wln-

More Attend Uni. 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.

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
