Attractive Hoop Program
Awaits Team for Next
Season.
Two Contests Tentative;
One to Be Dropped
Says Gish.
Whvii members of. the 1930-31
bn.skctl.all squad return to the Uni
versity of Nebraska this fall they
will have one of the best seasons
to look forward to a far as the
caliber of the respective opposing
team is concerned.
That they will have more than
their hands full when the season
opens next Dec. 13 is indicated by
the announcement made this week
by Athletic Director H. D. Gish.
who already has nineteen squads
on the string.
There will be only eighteen
games played, however, since the
conference rules stipulate that no
team can play more than that
number.
Fortunately, two of the games
on the card remain as tentative,
the one scheduled for Jan. 24 with
Washington university. St. Louis
at Lincoln, and the one slated for
Feb. 17 with Drake university at
Des Moines. Either of the two will
have to be dropped orf the sched
ule permanently, according to
Gish, before the Big Six officials
will give their stamp of approval.
Th feat ire of the new season's
contests is a Urn. . series to be.
played by the Cornhuskers at the
University of Washington, Seattle,
Dec. 27. 28 and 29. A three-year
contract was signed this week by
both Washing ton and Nebraska
officials and tho Scarlet and
Cream tosseis will for the first
time invade the Pacific coast re
gion. While it will be the first time
for Cornhu3ker cagers to go to
Washington, the two schools have
met before on the gridiron. In 1925
the Huskies came here to bold the
Huskers to a 6-6 tie and the fol
lowing year, Nebraska lost a 10-6
breath taker to the Washington
gridsters on their own field.
Commenting on the new sched
ule, Gregg McBride. local sports
writer, declares it to be a tribute
to the progress made by Nebraska j
in the court sport and also the
increased interest manifest on the j
part of the home fans.
"Growth of .basketball interest
on the Nebraska., campus." states
McBride. "has been marked ever
since the construction of the new
coliseum. Although the building
has never been completely packed
for basketball, the pace with which
basketbai? crowds have been grow
ing forcast that in a few seasons ,
the athletic department may be
forced to put out the S. R. O. sign
at important games." ,
Six lettermen will be back this
year. They are Don Maclay, cen
ter; Morris Fisher and Seldon Da
vey, Lincoln, forwards: Cliff Jen-;
sen, Omaha, guard, and Steve
Hokuf, Crete, guard. j

Prof. R V. Lanti. faculty ad-
vler for the regular term student
council, wants one for the summer
as well as the winter. The direc
tor of the summer session. Prof.
It. D. Moritz. however, doesn't see
things that way.
"I yet maintain that there U a
place for a summer student
council." Lantr declares. "Since
Mr. Moritz has given his disap
proval to the Idea I will not at
tempt to push the matter any
further this summer, uut thai win
not stoD us from striving for it
next fall when the regular council
takes up its duties."
Mr. Lantz had Intended to pre
pare a questionnaire to send out
to all summer scnooi siuaems
wtiereby some information could
be obtained concerning a student
council for vacation students. Due
to the refusal flf Director Moritz
to sanction the idea. Professor
Lantz has revised his question

What should we do for your
social and recreational enjoy

sponsor?
"How often should each of
these activities be encouraged?
"What time of day and week
should each of the activities be
staged?"

Registrar Knows
Students Ability;
Can't Fool Her!
Everything but the students
birth and death certificates
that's what the registrar's office
at the University of Nebraska
keeps in its records.
Requiring the largest staff
fourteen members In all in the
administrative offices of the uni
versity, the office of Miss Flor
ence McGahey, registrar, handles
all the details of the record from
the time each student enters the
institution as a freshman until he
graduates or withdraws.
All reports regarding each stu
dent are kept on file in the office
vaults, which contain the scholas
tic record of every graduate of the
University of Nebraska since it
was opened in 1871.
The' office further keeps count
of all students by class and col
lege, numbers of men and women,
certain religious data, occupation
of father, residence by coubty,
state and country, and other es
sential statistical material.
Registration of each student
necessitates evaluation of bis en
trance credits from other schools,
assisting him to register for his
necessary classes, recording his
courses, and later recording his
grades in th official records.
Considerable checking and veri
fication is necessary as students
draw near the end of their college
courses, to see that they have ful
filled all the requirements for the
degree or certificate which they
wish to secure.
In connection with her work as
registrar Miss McGahey acts as
the university publisher of the va

the work of the various colleges
and activities, and of all the offi
cial bulletins of information con
cerning the university.
She is aLso secretary to the fac
