New Commandant May Demote Junior Cadets Although Lieutenant Colonel F. F. Jewett, new commandant of cadets, is planning to continue as closely as possible the policy here tofore in force in the military de partment, there is under contem plation a change in the organiza tion of the advanced unit, whereby juniors would be sergeants instead of lieutenants. The proposed change is based on war depart ment instructions which state that juniors shall be given instruction leading sections, and seniors shall be trained in platoon leadership. The change, if decided upon by Colonel Jewett, would establish a definite line of advance for cadets. Freshmen would be privates. Sophomores would be eligible for appointment as corporals. Juniors would be sergeants, platoon ser geants, and first sergeants. Sen iors would hold commissions in the unit. There would be no change in uniforms except for the insignias of rank.

GRID PRACTICE GOING STRONG Bearg Wastes No Time in Get ting Sixty Aspirants Down to Work. HEAVY TEAM IN PROSPECT Nina Letter Men Form Nucleus of 1925 Machine Sophomores Look Good. With nine letter men and a promis ing bunch of sophomores from which to build the 1925 Cornhusker football machine, Coach E. E. Bearg lost no time in getting things started when he took charge of the first official practice Tuesday, and the squad of sixty men have been going through their paces at a fast clip ever since. Practice is already going under mid-season steam; all the men are reporting in good shape for hard work and getting it The fact that Nebraska's first game, with Illinois,, is only three weeks off gives added impetus to the workouts. Veterans Back. The nucleus around which Coach Bearg intends to build is made up of Harold Hutchinson, Joe Weir, Ed Weir, Choppy Rhodes, Roland Locke, Avard Mandary, Frank Pospisil, Red Molzen, Walter Scholz, and Joe Wes- toupal. Eligibilities will bother only a few this year, it is understood. Average weights of the squad seem to indicate that Nebraska will go onto the field with a heavier team than last year. The Huskers are noted for turning out a heavy squad, but last year's team departed from that tra dition. However, there are a number of men whe tip the scales at two hundred pounds and many who weigh around 190 pounds. Passing; Emphasized. Practices so far have consisted mainly of passing and kicking. Yes terday Coach Bearg divided the men into three squads of twenty each, with each running signals for passing and breaking up passes . Place kicking was also a feature of yesterday's workout. One of the mole-skin wearers who was booting the pellet through the cross-bars was Ed Weir, All-American tackle last year. Some of Nebraska's well-known men who are reporting are Frank Dailey, trackman, Fred Eckstrom, basketball captain. Jug Brown, for mer Lincoln high football star, Wal ter Kriemelmeyer, the "big cx" weight thrower of the track squad, Vint Lawson, former Omaha high school athlete, Ray Randels, Dorsey Mclntyre, Frank Jlielenz, R. M. Stephens, A. Stiner, L. Sprague, and Roy Andresen. MANY STUDENTS FIND WORK Employment Bureau ;i Y. M. C A. Receives Many Applications Everyday. Several hundred applications have been filed with William S. Trumbull, employment secretary f the Univer sity Y. M. C. A., by students desir ing work while attending school. From fifty to seventy-five students wanting work turn in their names every day. Employment is being found for a large number of these men and it is the hope of the Em ployment Bureau to find places for all applicants by the end of the first quarter. The Lions Club Las been greatly instrumental in finding employment for a large number. The members of the club canvassed the business district of Lincoln seeking places for students. ..METHODISTS PLAN BANQUET The Methodist Student Council has sent about 00 invitations to Method ist freshmen to attend a banquet to be held at the Grand Hotel, Tuesday September ' 22, at six o'clock.

Jewett, newly appointed head of the military department and commandant of ca dets, who succeeds Major Sidney Erickson, comes to the University of Nebraska after twenty-four years of service with the army establishments of the United States, during which time he has seen service in eight states of the Union, the Philippine Islands, Belgium and France. Saw Service In France. In the World War Colonel Jewett served as Lieutenant-colonel. His first war assignment was with the Eighty-second division composed of drafts from southern states and later filled with levies from the north. His second war duty was on the gen ral staff of the Eighth division on the Pacific coast. He was next sent as staff officer to embarkation duty at Brest, France. There he was in charge of embarkation of one million troops, loading in all five hundred vessels of homeward bound soldiers in the thirteen months after the armistice. Chancellor Avery's Reception Saturday Chancellor and Mrs. Samuel Avery will be hosts at the annual reception for friends and students of the Uni versity Saturday evening from 8 until 10 o'clock.

C A.'s rooms in the Temple every evening this week so that new men may meet ore another and become acquainted with the University "Y" and with those connected with it. In its efforts to serve the new students and "make them feel at borne" the "Y" is plan ning a number f other interesting programs. "Co-Ed Avenue" Is Possibility If Regents' Plans Materialize It is a probability that Sixteenth street, north of R street, will become "Co-ed Avenue" in the next few years, if plans of the board of re gents take definite shape. The board set aside that section of Lincoln for sorority bouses and dormitories, in accordance with authority given it by the Lincoln city council this summer. Fraternities are being discouraged from building in the proposed section. One organization that bad started its new borne, was asked to stop work. Men's organizations now owning property along the street may be asked to vacate their homes and seek other sites elsewhere. The property will be purchased at reasonable prWs by the University. Undoubtedly it wili be years Del ore the new section becomes a reality because ot lease complications and the need for appropriations to be used in the erection of new dormi tories. Kappa Alpha Tbeta and Kappa Kappa Gamma have recently con structed new homes along Sixteenth street and many other sororities now own building sites in the Ticinity. The new plan is being pushed for ward with the idea ot grouping uni versity women in one section ot Lin coln, and to prevect sororities sad PRICE 5 CENTS GOOD GAIN IN REGISTRATION More Students Than Ever Be fore In Face of Higher Standards. WORK ABOUT COMPLETED Officials Expect That Net Cain of About Six Per Cent Will Be Shown With a registration to date of more than 600 students than ever before, the University of Nebraska swung into its fifty-seventh year when classes in all colleges began yesterday. Figures from the regis trar's office show that 5023 had re gistered for work on the campus up to Wednesday evening, as against a total of 4,326 at a like time last year. The above figures do not include any students except those taking work in the University proper and do not include any in the College of Medicine at Omaha, the secondary schools of agriculture, the Teachers College high school, or the extension courses. Few Late This Year. The increase in enrollment of about fifteen per cent is a little high, officials explain, because of the fact that last year about 400 students were forced to wait until after could complete their registration. This year, however, no difficulties have been encountered, and work of classifying the students is almost completed, although of course there are a certain number of late regis trations. It is expected that a net increase of about six per cent will be shown when the final figures are compiled. While there is nothing extraordinary or phenomenal in an increase of six per cent, it means that the total en rollment is doubled about every twelve years if the rate of increase is main :neL Incrted registration this year, it is also pointed out, comes in the face of increasingly higher standards of admission and stricter scholarship rules for students. PLAYERS SEASON OPBNS OCTOBER 8 'The Goose Haass Hick" To Be First Production of University Players. University Players will open their eleventh season with the New York ! success, "The Goose Hangs High," .October 8, 9, and 10, with IL Alice Howell, director of the players and head of the department of dramatics. playing the leading role.
