REGISTRATION TALLY Enrollments on Tuesday Outnumber Those of Previous Day Registrations Tuesday, for the second semester of the 1928-1929 school year, showed a decided in crease over the previous day, but the total number of registrants still lagged behind that at the same stage for last semester.

Bible Discusses Football Education Before Gentlemen: The presence of .the football coach at a faculty dinner (an honor which I assure you the coach in question greatly appreci ates) would seem to imply that football, like your respective spe cialties, is an activity which has, or at least should have, a certain value In enriching the experience and increasing the social useful ness of young Nebraskans. In fact it is the faith that football has use ful things to offer to tbe college boy both to him who participates in the game and to him who watches from tbe grandstand that encourages an increasing number of coaches to hope that our profes sion may soon come to be consid ered a department of education. with the dignity and stability to such a status. It is true that the great develop ment of intercollegiate athletics in iie last twenty-fire years has pro ceeded along the lines which lie outside tbe bounds of the regular curriculum and that football Is still RAMSAY REINS as of faculty staff Dramatics Instructor Leaves University Position for Radio interests VACANCY j IS UNFILLED Howell, Lerner Temporarily Assume Tasks Prior to Official Action Ray Ramsay, Instructor in the de partment of dramatics and busi ness manager-of the University Players, announced last night that he had submitted his resignation from the faculty of the University.

Seaton, operating superintendent of the University. What price education? Superintendent Seaton states that the tunnel, excavation or parapet will be extended west along the south side of the drill field, entering the north side of So cial Sciences. Mr. Seaton states that this latter excavation will be somewhat smaller; perhaps it may be possible to do a Lindbergh over it. The tunnel was originally in tended to be finished on Ferbuary 1, but due to cold weather it may not be completed - until late in Feburary or early in March. Deter ioration of tbe former conduit pipes which were laid between So cial Sciences and Teachers' college, and across drill field, made neces sary the new beat tunnels.

This spontaneous and Irregular origin of college football has brought with it serious disadvantages. In the first place, the game in many cases bas assumed such importance in col lege life that it bas not been satis factorily scaled and adjusted to tbe regular studies of the college. Profession Is Precarious ' In the second place, the fact that coaching has had no recognized educational status has made the profession a precarious one and so almost torced its members, espe cially young men with their way to make, to neglect every other con- deration in a desperate attempt to win games and thereby establish tbelr reputations. Finally, the extra-curricular character of football has allowed coaches to yield to the professional temptation of confin ing tbelr attention to the toys who are already the best developed ath letically and so of narrowing ath Teachers College Services to Lectures, Agency Work and Surreys Assist Outstate Instructors; Department Is In Constant Touch Editor' Note: This Is the second of a aeries of articles devoted to the contracts of a few of the various departments of the University of Nebraska with outstate Nebraska, cover ing some of the phases of serv ice carried on by the depart ments, without losing sight of the fact that training of the youth Is the primary objective of the University. (By Edgar Backus) Four distinct activities are spon sored by the Teachers College of the University of Nebraska in their service to tbe state as a whole. These services are offered as sup plementary to the work in tbe training of teachers and superin tendents. Dr. W. Sealock, dean of tbe Teachers college explains, since the teaching of students is the first consideration of the Uni versity, The first line of activity which the department engages in is the giving of lectures by members of the faculty. A constant demand Is received for speakers at meet ings of state commercial clubs, Rotary, Klwanis, and Lions clubs, Parent-Teacher associations, insti tutes and state teachers district meetings. The demand for com mencement speakers in the spring Is always far greater than the ex- Contlnnod oa Face . IS Chancellor Will Speak About Problems Facing School Authorities Chancellor E. A.

The chancel lor's talk will show the students some of the financial problems which the University must face. It will show 'why the increased ap propriations . are., necessary. 4 and what they will mean. The object of the next few World Forum meetings, which will be on university problems, is to make it possible for tbe student to become better acquainted with tbe workings and the problems that must be faced by the univer sity officials. Because finances are most necessary and of current interest now, this subject has been chosen first Large Number Expected The World Forum committee composed of Julia Rider and Rob ert Venner, has planned three ser ies of World Forum talks this year. The first was on national political problems; the second on international problems; and now the series will be on everyday uni: verslty problems. Several meet ings will be taken up with this group of talks. The World Forum luncheon costs thirty-five cents if tickets are obtained by 5 o'clock the Tues day before the meeting.

The new tentative eng ineering council will be discussed and voted upon. Ted Gugler will talk on his recent trip to New York. University Faculty letic training to those who need it least These three points, all results of the irregular evolution of college football, constitute from an educa tional point of view a serious in dictment of the game. It may be said in reply, however, that the co operation of tbe faculty in athletics councils is to some extent, at least, removing the conflict between foot ball and academic interests; that year by year more coaches are seeking to establish th1r calling as a profession and a department of education; that the great and grow ing development of intramural sports is rapidly removing from football the stigma of helping chiefly those who least need help. It cannot be claimed that any of these three drawbacks to football as a part of tbe educational system has been wholly counteracted, but at least tbey have been recognized as evils by the leaders in the pro- Caatlaavd aa Tmt t.

No an nouncement of the meeting bad ap peared in The Daily Nebraskan pre vious to the meeting. An attempt on the part of The Nebraskan to authenticate tbe story led to the action of the Stu dent Council's executive committee which held up tbe election results until the matter could be examined.

RAG HUSKERS TRIM SOUTH DAKOTA IN BASKET TILT Northerners Fall Prey to Scarlet Hoopmen by 46-28 Count MACLAY TAKES HONORS Elongated Nebraska Center Garners Highest Total Of Field Goals Nebraska resumed its winning streak last night at the Coliseum, taking South Dakota for a 46 to 28 trimming. The Huakers' showed im provement from the Missouri tan gle, the offense having smoothed up a bit while the defensive game showed few weakness as in the Saturday night clash. Maclay for Nebraska was eas ily the star for evening, accounting for fourteen points ana piaying a nee floor game. The lanky Auburn lad showed more promise in. this game than at any other time in tbe season. He was particularly adept in tipping in the ball thru ' tbe hoop from the board. Root Leads Offense Root furnished most of the fire works for the visitors, being nigh point man for bis team, and lead ing the offense most of the time. Altho the game was an Interesting one for the audience, it was not an especially brilliant exhibition of basketball. Both quints were guilty of some ragged playing, but here were flashes of brilliance at times which kept tbe contest from being a drab. t The South Dakota boys showed a peculiar type of basket shooting. Tbey appeared to have a sort of underhand shot, which Is not seen in collegiate play much. Witte furnished most of the of fensive strength for the Buskers during the first half. Fisher did not seem to be able to get along with the referee during this period, get ting the penalty twice in quick suc cession. He was replaced by Grace, Coatlnaed aa Paa . HMMDlE SYSTEM OF GRADING History Professor Registers Opposition to Nebraskan Posting Plan OTHER OPINIONS VOICED Dr. F. M. Fling, professor of European history, is very much opposed to the whole system of grading, according to a statement made by him yesterday. In tbe first place be thinks there is too much emphasis laid on grades. Dr. Fling contends that a student knows whether he is doing good work by the amount of time be puts in on bis course and by what he is getting out of it. Dr. Fling also prefers a grading system in which the class is grouped according to the caliber of work. He explained that that was the system used in tbe uni versity up to a few years ago. Tbe two principal reasons it was abol ished, be said, were that numer ical grades were more convenient for determining Phi Beta Kappa percentages and that the United States government asked for grades of scientific students wbo wished to enter government em ployment Has No Complaints Although be does not give out tbe semester grades except to tbe registrar, Dr. Fling eaya that be has no complaints from students wanting their grades. He cannot see any object In adopting Tbe Dally Nebraskan proposal and thinks it is raising a trivial point 'The plan Is neither original nor unique," he said. "The conscien tious student is more concerned about what kind of daily work be is doing than what bit grade will be- There has been no uniform prac tice of giving out grades In tbe department of geography accord leg to E. S. Anderson and E, E. Lackey, instructors in that de partment Tbey agreed, however. that students are entitled to know their grades and that it Is not a matter of general public informa tion. Students Are Encouraged Whenever it Is possible stu dents in the geography department are encouraged to come and get their grades. It is believed that it enables the Instructors to be come better acquainted with tbe students. Prof. G. D.
