rectors of the bureau of educational
records and guidance, that a "Fresh
man Week" be introduced in 1928
to extend from Sept 19 to 22 in
clusive. The period will be set aside, the
faculty voted, for the registration of
freshmen and students transferring
to Wisconsin from other universities
and colleges. The three days, Sept.
20 to 22, inclusive, already had been
set aside for early registration hi
advance of the formal opening of
the university on Monday, Sept. 24;
the new arrangement simply con
fines registration to freshmen and
advanced standing students during
the period, and adds one day, Wed
nesday, Sept. 19, in order to allow
the introduction of new measures tc
acquaint the freshmen v.ith rights
and duties of their academic citizen
ship in the university.
The purposes of the new plan en
umerated by Profs. Holt and Hen
mon in their recommendation that it
be adopted are "to enable the fresh
men to do the following:
"1. Make living arrangements.
"2. Register and pay fees.
"3. Consult, without hurry, facul
ty advisers concerning a proper se
lection cf courses.
"4. Take physical examinations
and various aptitude tests.
"5. Listen to talks on such sub
jects as how to study, how to budget
one's time, use of the library, and
extra-curricular activities.
"6. Become acquainted with the
library, the laboratories, and other
points of interest.
"7. Be entertained socially and
musically under university auspices.
"8. Secure first and most effec
tive impressions of the university
from the faculty.
"9. Become convinced that the fa
culty is really interested in the in
dividual freshman.
"10. Become acquainted with uni
versity routine and get a clearer no
tion of 'what it's all about'."

Fight for First Place
In Regard to Number
The Johnsons and the Smiths will
fight it out on this line if it takes
all winter.
At least so sny tho leadors of the
two contingents in the student body
of the University of Nebraska. The
only object of the war, which after
all is more or less imaginary, is num
bers; and the Johnsons are now
ahead with 69 about one percent
of the student population. The
Smiths boast 54.
Next come the Andersons with 46
then the Millers, 36, Petersons, 34,
and the Davises, Williamses and
Joneses, each with 22.
In the color contingent there are
19 Browns, 15 Whites, 15 Greens, 1
Gray, 1 Redd, 3 Blacks, and 1
Blacker.
And it is significant to note that
there are 12 Kellys and but 2 Co

YOUTHS HAVE CLASS
IN HOME ECONOMICS
Local Teacher' College High School
Find New Course Offered I
Liked by Boy
In an article written for the Jan
uary 1927 issue) of the Journal of
Home Economics Miss Jane Hinkley
who is assistant professor of voca
tion education in the University of
Nebraska, gave a brief survey of the
work that has been accomplished by
a class of boys in the Teachers' Col
lege High School taking a course in
home economics.
Accounts of courses which teach
various phases of homemaking to
boys have shown that such courses
can be successfully carried out. A
great deal of interest was aroused
when a group of boys in the Teach
ers' College high school of the Uni
versity of Nebraska requested a class
in home economics.
At a meeting of the boys it was
found that not only processes and
skill in cooking were what the boys
wished to study, but also the princi
ples underlying the choice of foods
and clothing and othertiome activi
ties. The following unit3 were voted
to be included in their course:
Selection and preparation of foods
for dinners.
The Subject
Selection and care of clothing for
men.
Budgets for boys and men.
Duties of a host.
Eight boys were enrolled when the
class first opened, but that number
had been doubled by the end of the
first week, and admission was re
fused to several boys because the
laboratory could not accommodate
them. The general attitude of the
class of boys has been very good and
they show especial interest in selec
tion of food in relation to health.
This is probably due to the fact that
the majority of them are in some of
the athletic teams and are therefore
desirous of being in good physical
condition.
CLUB TO PICK DELEGATES
Kappa Phi Will Send Two to Detroit
For Student Convention
Kappa Phi, Methodist girl's club,
will send two delegates to the Inter
national Student Volunteer Conven
tion which will be held in Detroit,
Michigan December 27. 28, and 29.
This meeting is held only once
every four years. The delegates
will be elected soon. Other religious
organizations in the city will, also,
send representatives to this conven
tion. Tradition was broken at Brown
University when a non-fraternity
m -n was elected president of the
senior class.

First Names
Norman, Dec. 14. No one can ac
cuse a co-ed at the University of Ok
lahoma of not knowing who among
hsr class-mates answer to tha same I
name that she does. Miss Helen
Ruth Holbrook, director of the uni
versity Y. W. C. A. work here, sees
to that.
For four years, Miss Holbrook has
been carrying on a campaign for bet
ter friendship among women stu
dents through a median known as
the "First ' Names Club." Every
women student in the university is
assigned to one of these organiza
tions, of which there are twenty-five
this fall, and weekly luncheons in
the Women's building, at which one
of the clubs holds a meeting, are
held under Miss Holbrooks direction.
The clubsjv each containing about
fifty members, "dutch' it when their
club meets, that is, every girl pays
for her own meal. Decorations,
place cards, and souvenir booklets
are furnished by the Y. W. C. A.
social committee. At the meetings,
the girls meet each other and ex
change signatures in the booklets.
Noveltv nroCTams, given at the
luncheons, at which each girl tells
where she got her name and nick
name, reveal that most girls were
named after their mothers, grand
mothers, characters of fiction, or
their father's old sweetheart. Post
cards, sent out beforei each meeting
by Miss Holbrook, remind the girls
of the meeting.
The "Helen's" and "Mary's" are
the most numerous first names in the
university and have an entire club
each to themselves. The girls with
first names beginning with 'A', 'E',
'L', and 'M are so numerous that
each letter has had to be split up.
The 'M's have four clubs.
On the) other hand, some letters
have been grouped together into
novelty combinations, such as I, 0,
and U, and P and S, the name of a
Norman business firm. The last
.etters in the alphabet from T to Z
have been combined into one organ
ization. E. E. Blackman Will
Address Hi-Y Club
Mr. E. E. Blackman, Curator for
the Nebraska State Historical So
ciety's Museum, will speak before
the Hi-Y at their meeting Wednes
day. Mr. Blackman has collected
several card3 of Spanish trinkets, in
cluding spear-heads and choice
pieces of flint, and will give in his
talk the history concerning them.

Flea Search Ends in
Night Spent in Jail
Norman, Dec. 14. (Special)
Vain search for three male and
two female fleas as a fraternity
"hell week" project recently lead
two University of Oklahoma stu
dents to a three-hour confinement
in the city jail here. Officers
picked up the two boys at 1
o'clock in the morning and arrest
ed them on charge of prowling.
They were later released.
Kansas U. Yell
Was Conceived
In Science Club
It is worthy of note that the Uni
versity of Kansas great yell, "Rock
Chalk'; Jayhawk, K. U." was con
ceived not on the football sidelines
or for box-burning rallies, but rath
er in the confines of old Snow hall,
at a Science Club meeting.
Back in '85 there was a Science
club started by University men and
these men felt the need of a yell.
At one of their meetings, Dr. E. H.
S. Bailey, now in the department of
chemistry, submitted to his club the
yell, "Raw, Raw, Jayhawk, K. U.,"
this being repeated three times.
A short time after this yell was
originated the school took it over
and changed it as it now is.
It is little wonder that this yell
produced by these scientists is a clas
sic. It is probably the only yell in
existence which has been produced in
a Science Club meeting and carried
to the football field for effective use
there.
It is probably the only yell in exis
tence that can be brought back from
the football field to fit in nicely at
the end of learned speech by a vis
iting dignitary on the campus. The
Missourians think it is the hardest
yell to drown out they have met; and
everybody agrees it is a great ex
pression of Kansas exuberance.
It was heard on many battle-fields
of Europe, and Kansas teachers have
carried it far into the interior of the
Philippines.

Delegate to Student Meeting Held
At Rome Tells of His Experiences
"The object of the meeting of the
Confederation Internationale des
Etudiants was to discuss the prob
lems of the student of today and to
show the relationship between the
foreign students," said J. Willard
Rippon yesterday, while taking a
breathing spell in the rush of regis
tration of the delegates of the Na
tional Student Federation of Amer
ica. Mr. Rippon is in Lincoln at
tending the National Student meet
ings. The meeting of the International
Federation of Students was held in
Rome last summer from August 28
until September 4, and it was at
tended by students from all the civil
ized countries of the world. Those
representatives sent by America
were Marvin Breckinridge of Vassar,
Stanley Weigle of Leland Stanford
University and Willard Rippon of
the University of Toledo. Besides
these three official delegates there
were a number of American students
attending Oxford, and Cambridge,
and some from the Summer School
of Politics at Geneva.
At this meeting in Rome the Na
tional Student Federation was ad
mitted to full membership of the in
ternational organization. The offi
cers of the C. I. E., the French ab
breviation of the whole! confedera
tion, represent a large variety of
countries. The president is from
Italy and the vice-president from
England. Some of the other coun
tries represented in the officers are
Denmark, Czechoslovakia, Switzer
land, France, Belgium, Poland, Bul
garia, Rumania, South Africa, and
the United States.
There was a discussion of foreign
travel both of American and Euro
pean students, and the exchange of
hospitalities of the nations toward

the visiting students.
"We believe that trips and discus
sions like this will foster better un
derstanding and gain an idea of
what student life in Europe is like,"
said Mr. P.ippon. "There were shout
five hundred delegates and we were
very ably entertained while in
Europe. One personal experience
while we were in Rome was a little
expedition that Stanley Weigle and
I made the first night we were there.
We walked out the road toward the
Coliseum and it rather brought back
the Latin we had studied in high
school and college. It really made
us realize and clinch the fact that
Ceasar and his legions were not just
fairy tales but something very real
and tangible.
"There is a big value, I think, of
these trips and meetings in the op
portunities of travel and Jto show the
conditions of life and students in the
other countries. It also tends to
make one more tolerant toward the
students on the other side of the
world.
This student movement started at
Strassburg, when France started the
movement. Subsequent meetings
have been held at Prague, Brussells,
Copenhagen, and Rome. Next year's
group will meet at Paris and the
American group is to be limited to
one hundred members. Tours, both
by water and by land, theaters and
other kinds of entertainment wlil be
provided for the visiting student
delegates.
