Of Annual Affair
"We are continuing ticket sales
for "Bizad Day" all day Thursday,"
stated Douglas Timmerman, chair
man of "Bizad Day" late Wednesday
afternoon. "Many have indicated
their desire to purchase tickets and
we have decided to give "Bizad" stu

kets," he continued.

Registration Is
Hard Work for
Advisors, Also
"Well, it may be six days of agony
for the student and it would be for
me if registration lasted over a day,"
said Dean Lyman of the College of
Dentistry.
"You know it would hardly be fair
for me to speak as I have the small
est college of the University. Now
I don't know what I would do if I
had as many students to register as
Dean Candy.
This Way I Best
"I think that this way of handling
the registration is the only way, as
it saves such a jam in the fall. Mr.
Gunderson has worked out the pay
ing of the fees very well by having
the student pay in the fall when he
returns.
The dean then continued, "In my
twenty years of experience I have
discovered that you can't run an in
stitution without advisors, so no mat
ter how much the student has to run
around getting this said advice it is
good for him."
Dean Candy admitted that he had
not read the article on registration
in yesterday's issue of the Daily Ne
braskan but how he enjoyed it when
it was brought to his attention. He
could not keep from commenting as
he read the article, and when he
came to the place mentioning that
the freshmen and the sophomores
were trying to find the pipe courses
he said, "You just don't want to for
