Five Hundred to Attend.
Five hundred people, representing
all the Greek organizations in school,

all-Greek party. For several years,
during the war, the old custom was
discontinued but was .revived last
year by the Kosmet Klub. One of
the purposes of the party is an in

feeling among the Greek organiza
tions of the school.
The chaperones for the formal are
Chancellor and Mrs. Avery, Miss
Beppner, Dean and Mrs. Buck, Coach
and Mrs. Schulte, Prof. Grumman,
Major and Mrs. Erickson, Professor

Any junior who has seen his name

MORE REGISTER
ON WEDNESDAY
Weather Prevents Number
From Being as Large as
Expected.
EXPECT HEAVY INCREASE
IN NEXT TWO DAYS
Figures for the third day of the
early registration shows an increase
over the registration for the first two
days. The colleges were not antici
pating any heavy rush before the
third day. It is expected that Fri
day and Saturday will be the
heaviest days of registration.
An estimate of the number of
those registered in each college up to
Thursday morning follows:
Agriculture 300
Engineering 260
Art and Sciences 5000
Teachers 375
Dentistry 54
Weather Delays Registration.
Due to Wednesday's weather a
few of the colleges did not have quite
as heavy a registration as they had
hda previously, and no registratioin
was as heavy as had been expected.
There were over 900 students in
the Teachers College last semester
and they expect as heavy a registra
tion this semester. There is no com
pulsory period of registration for
Graduate students, and only a few of
those have re-registered so far, there
will probably be over 150 in the col
lege this term.
Because of the conflict of the Or
ganized Agriculture program at the
Agricultural College this week, the
students arranged their schedules
January 3 to 5. Over 300 regis
tered fit that time. The classes at the
Agricutural College start Jan. 28.
Method Started Two Years Ago.
The method of early registration
was inaugrated two years ago, but
until now it has not been compulsory.
The new method was started in order
to eliminate the long waiting lines be
fore the offices of the advisers and
deans. It was not compulsory the
first two years but it proved so ef
ficient that the new plan was adopted
as the regular method of registration.
There are more days m which the re
sident students can see their ad
visers and hand in their application
blanks to their -deans. The new stu
dents register at a later date, thu;
cutting down the long waits that were
necessitated by the old system. This
change has been welcomed by the stu
dents.

Big Sisters Urged
to Answer Inquiries
According to members of the Sen
ior Advisory Board, but fifteen of
the Big Sisters out of the 200 that
received the "Reminders for Big Sis
ters" have responded. Big sisters
were asked to keep a copy and re
turn it to the board by January 19.
Members of the board urge that the
answers be returned at once.

TO GIVE LUNCHEON
FOR NATIVE SOUS
Will Be Part of Meeting of
State Historical As
sociation. Nebraska's native sons and daugh
ters will have a leading place in the
program of the Nebraska State His
torical Association at its annual
meeting in Lincoln January 15. Na
tive sons and daughters of Nebras
ka are asked to send their names,
stating when their parents came to
Nebraska, to Addison E. Sheldon,
secretary of the Nebraska Historical
Society. A list of the parents who
come to Nebraska before 1890 is
desired since that is the great di
viding line in western history.
A luncheon to be given for the
native sons and daughters will be
one of the events on the program.
Those able to attend will please send
their notice to Mr. Sheldon as soon
as possible. Mrs. H. H. Wheeler of

Historical Society and their friends
may attend this luncheon if reserva
tions are made through Secretary
Sheldon by January 15.
R.O.T.C. Vlli USE
Beginning next semester a new
system of grading will go into ef
fect in the basic course military sci
ence classes. Attendance at drill
which has until now counted SO per
cent of the final grade will not be
counted at all in the future. Under
the new system of grading, quizzes,
recitations, and aptitude on the drill
field will be the sole factors in grad
ing. A grade of 60 in these will ex
cuse a man from the final examina
tion. Those making below 60 will
have to take the final examination
which will then count one-half of
the final grade.
Cadets with a grade below 60 will
be reported to the dean's office as
incomplete. Two demerits will be
given for im vnexcused absence from
drill The drill hours must be made
cp. Six hours of "anexeensed ab
sence will result in an incomplete,
and more than that will make a con
dition in the course.
The new tybtem of grading by lay
ing stress" solely on the class work,
examinations and juirzes win raise

STADIUM MAY BE
USED Iff CHORUS
Plans Being Made to Present
"The Elijah" in Open-air
Theater This Spring.
400 VOICES NEEDED
FOR MUSICAL EVENT
Nebraska's Memorial Stadium,
dedicated to the men who lost their
lives in the war, will not be used
for athletics alone if present plans
to present a pageant ne"xt spring ma
terialize. A committee, composed of
Lincoln music lovers, of the chan
cellor, of members of the the faculty,
and of alumni of the University is at
work on a musical program that will
be unique in this state and that will
excell any dramatization that has
ever been presented in this section
of the country, according to one of
the members of the committee.
At the present time, the plans are
in an uncompleted state. The com
mittee has decided that the oratorio
will be 'presented in the stadium as
soon as the weather is fit and that
it will require at least a cast of 400
persons to present it. The drama
tization of "The Elijah" is being
considered and it is practically as
sured that that oratorio will be the
theme for the pageant.
Mrs. Raymond to be in Charge.
Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond, who has
had charge of "The Messiah" for a
number of years and who is director
of the chorus, will take charge of the
music for the entire event. Mrs.
Raymond also intimated that this
presentation would be the first of a
number of such dramatizations, op
erettas, or other musical presenta
tions. If "The Elijah" is presented, work
will be started soon. Those who wish
to take part will be asked to register
for chorus and will be given special
training. From the time that it is
assured until the presentation, work
will be done on the settings and on
the details of final presentation. The
orchestra will start practice soon and
the committeemen will outline their
plans for the gathering of material
to offer the state an event that Mrs.
Raymond classified as quite rare in
America, being known to England
alone.
ENGiKEERS TO DISCUSS
DISSOLUTION OF A. A, E,
Resolution of Executive Com
mittee Will Be Consid
ered at Convocation.
A discussion on the resolution
made by the executive committee of
the American Association of Engi
neers that the association be dissolved
at Nebraska and that a new local or
ganization be formed will be taken
up in the January convocation of the
Engineering College, at 11 o'clock
this morning.
Dean William G. Raymond of the
College of Applied Science, State
University of Iowa, will deliver the
main address of the convocation on
"The Valuation of a Public Utility
Property." He is an eminent au
thority in public utility matters and
his address will be of interest not
only to those in the Engineering Col
lege but also to the general public,
v.hich is invited to attend.
In the meeting this morning, the
final course of action on the resolu
tion will be determined. The execu
tive committee's resolution follows:
We believe that the Engineering
College needs ne general organiza
tion to bring together the men of all
departments and cement the college
together as a whole.
However, we do not feel that a
national organization is necessary for
this purpose. Neither do we feel
that the American Association of En
gineers is an organization particu
larly well adapted to the needs of a
student society, for, in view of the
rather heavy dues given to the na
tional organization, little is ret urned
to the student s-hich will interest him
in his college activities.
We believe that a larger general
engineering society can be bisLi
up by being handled by each depart
mental society, each one being bet
ter acqoaltited fell the men Lb its
department, and better able to in
terest them than a larger, less closely
knit organizstien.
Our suggestion is therefore that
