Hitchcock Says
College Offers
Big Opportunity
Former Senator States That
Value Derived Depends
On Each Student
PIERPONT STATES NEEDS
OF MODERN OIL COMPANY
Editor' Notei This it the third of
. .sries of articles The Daily Nebras
km is publishing in which the prob
lem of the college graduate in the
bu.ine.s world i. di.cu..ed by busi
, .xecutivei. Today are publuhed
extracts of letters from former Uni
ted State Senator Gilbert M. Hitch
cock and from H. W. Pierpont, secretary-treasurer
of the Standard Oil
company of Nebra.Ua.
Senator Hitchcock was asked by
The Nebraskan to prepare a paper
on the field for the college graduate
in public affairs. Press of other af
fairs prevented his writing an ex
tended paper but the following let
ter concisely states the situation from
the standpoint of a man who haa
served his state in the field of public
affairs. He writes:
"A college education may or may
not be of help in qualifying a man
to meet the requirements of active
life either in business or in a profes
sion. Much depends on the individual.
Tt rnlleire course is a mere oppor
tunity. The man who goes through
college in a perfunctory way gets
little help. The man who loafs
through, gets none. The man who
seizes a college course as the one
chance in a life time to store his
mind with useful information and
develops his mental and physical
faculties gains much.
Value of Reading
"Mere 'book-larnin' is not gl. Col
lege studies are only of value when
pursued with an earnest and en
mind. I believe a study of
conditions highly important to fit a
man to enter life. To this end a col
lege student should also read widely
the best current . literature of the
dav. a newspaper or two as well as
magazines. Then when he enters life
he will not be a stranger to it but
will already have an interest in it
and a zest for it.

Further advocates and opponents

Dean J. E. LeRossignol, Prof. G. O.
Virtue and Rev. F. W. Leavitt have

"Parallel parking really doesn't
bother me because I don't drive a
car," declared J. E. LeRossignol,
dean of the College of Business Ad

however, increase the traffic on R
street and I think that there should
be more traffic lights to eradicate
this difficulty. It is also my opinion
that Q street Bhould be paved the
entire length for if this were done,
I think more people would travel on

MANY SIGN FOR
NEW SEMESTER
Early Registration Figures
More Than Double Those
Made Year Ago
TWO AND HALF DAYS LEFT
Registration for the first three
days has more than doubled that of
last year, announces Prof. A. L.
Candy of the College of Arts and
Science.
Professor Candy reported Wednes
day that in the first two days of last
year's registration sixty-six were reg
istered, while this year one hundred
fifty-six were registered.
At the registrar's office Miss Mc-
Gahey reported that more of the stu
dents were taking their credit books
out this year than last year, but they
had no final check as to how the stu
dents were completing the registra
tion as that is taken care of by the
various colleges. Miss McGahey also
reported that the schedules and the
cataloges were very much in demand.
Closes Saturday Noon
Registration closes at noon Satur
day, leaving only two and a half
more days before late registration
fees will be charged. Failure to reg
ister before. Saturday noon will nec
essitato an extra charge of three
dollars.
A notice will mailed to the student
sometime before September and the
failure to pay the fees by the time
the notice designates will add a late
fee of three dollars.
The advisors and the deans of the
colleges are expecting more students
the last few days of registration than
they had last year, either because
they feel that the student wants to
save three dollars or because he does
not want to brave the usual fall mob
during registration.
Curator Sees Relics

Blackman Returns From Franklin,
Where Several Village Sites
Have Been Discovered
E. E. Blackman, curator of the
Nebraska state historical society mu

Franklin, where he spent several days
reviewing the work of an archeol
ogist there who has become inter

sites.
Mr. Blackman reports that on a
farm three miles southwest of Frank
lin, in an extensive Indian ruin, many
specimens of chipped flint and pot
tery have been found. These speci
mens are scattered over a wide area.
It appears that the Republican Paw
nee, who lived in the valley of the
Republican river from about 1450 to
1800, resided in small groups over
a wide general area.
It is noticed that the house sites
are confined to the south slopes of
tb numerous draws; the Indians
evidently lived in houses made of
a pole frame covered with a grass
thatch, similar to the huts still used
by the Wichita Indians in Oklahoma.
Probably a dozen of these structures
stood on the south slope of a draw,
and a like group occupied a similar
position but a short distance away.
