has been expanded to meet the
constantly changing needs and de
mands in the field of education.
The work offered, according to the
director of the summer session, is
designed to offer not only a schol
arly program of professional and
academic courses but one suffici
ently flexible to meet the needs of
all types of students including the
teachers, or those preparing to
teach, school supervisors and ad
ministrations, college students who
desire to make up deficiencies or
to continue their regular collegiate
study, students who must meet
prerequisites for admission to pro
fessional schools, or anyone desir-
ing to pursue studies for their
cultural vocational values.
The university o.'ficinls place
major emphasis on the nine weeks
session. Consequently a more ex
tensive program, particularly in
academic and graduate courses, is
offered during the long session.
Smith-Hughes agriculture, de-
, signed to meet the needs of those
now engaged in teaching this
course, will be given for graduate
credit during this session. Shorter
sessions of one and two weeks
each are offered for rural teach-
t ers, social case workers, school
house custodians, and members of
Parent-Teachers associations.
Arrangements have been made
with the various departments of
fering extension courses whereby
a student will be permitted during
the six weeks session to carry the
courses which may be completed
after the close of the six weeks
session thru the extension division.
"The offerings in the graduate
college are more extensive than in
former, years and the nine weeks
summer session offers unusual op
portunities in both the professional
colleges and the liberal arts col
lege for students to pursue their
graduate work," Prof. Moritz de
clared. TO

tended to demonstrate educational

the summer session.

lish, mathematics, social sciences,
and the biological sciences will be

BARBS TO BE ADMITTED
Legislators Decide Against
Recommendation of
Faculty Senate.
Edwin Faulkner, Lincoln, 'Z2,
was elected president of tho Stu
dent council for next year at the
first meeting of the recently
elected council yesterday. Other
officers chosen were: Gretchcn
Fee, vice president; Walter Huber,
treasurer; Julia Simanek, secre
tary. The council approved the recom
mendation of the university senate
committee on student organiza
tions that the Barb faction be al
lowed to chose two Student council
members to represent those stu
dents who were otherwise de
prived of representation when the
regular Barb candidates were de
clared ineligible because of illegal
use of printed handbills in the
campaign. The Barb faction will
be allowed to pick its two repre
sentatives for the council.
To Work on Union.
The council also authorized the
new president to appoint a com
mittee representative of all student
groups to work with the faculty
and alumni committees towards
getting a student union building
for Nebraska. The new commit
tee will be announced at the first
meeting of the council next fall.
Bereneice Hoffman, senior
woman-at-large representative on
the council, was elected chairman
of the Student council judiciary
committee. Other members of the
committee are provided for by the
council rules which make the four
hold-over members and the faculty
adviser automatically members of
the committee.
Innocents Request Night.
The request from the Innocents
society for a closed night Oct. 24,
Homecoming, in order to foster in
terest in a general all-university
party that night was declined. The
council, however, voted to use its
prestige with other student groups
such as the Interfraternity council
and Pan-hellenic council to secure
prevent scheduling of parties for
that night. Opponents of the closed
night request included Adviser
Lantz who did not favor any policy
of the council for indiscriminately
ordering closed nights to any group
which requests that it be done. Mr.
Lantz favored the plan tor a gen
eral party that night, hut thought
it sufficient if the council would
"recommend" no parties be sched
uled without arbitrarily ordering a
closed night.
Following the election of the
new president, retiring President
Kelly read a summary of the work
of the council this year and rec
ommendations for next year. The
passing of the new Student council
constitution was cited as the out
standing achievement of the year.

NEWMuTMENT
IS
Staff Urges Purchasers
Get Books as Soon
As Possible.
to
With a new allotment of 1931
Cornhuskers coming in from the
printers, the Cornhusker office
opened at 1 o'clock yesterday to
fulfill the order of a great many
students who are apparently very
anxious to receive their new year
books.
Students filed into the office, ac
cording to Ed Edmonds, business
manager, nearly as fast as the day
before when the business staff is
sued the annuals at the rate of
better than two per minute be
tween the hours of 8 .",nd 5.
Books Go Rapidly.
The rapid rate at which the
Cornhuskers are going out is grati
fying to the business staff which
has encouraged the students to get
their books as soon as possible in
an effort to clean up the 1931
orders.
Those students who have pur
chased their 1931 student publica
tions on the three pay installment
plan must submit the remaining
money due when they present their
receipts for getting their books.
Carrying out the tradition insti
tuted many yeais ago. Chancellor
Burnett yesterday sent out 125
1931 Cornhuskers to that many
high schools in the state. This is
done to give prospective university
students a brief, yet complete view
of the accomplishments of uni
versity students in all its phases.
There are several new features
in the 1931 Cornhusker which have
come in for great approval and
much favorable comment. Out
standing among the innovations is
the theme, "one for all all for
one." which runs throughout the
hook and ciiaraclenzes each sec
tion. In carrying out the theme
there is the portrayal in various
forms the three musketeers in
comparison to student.- of the uni
versity. Group Section Good.
The fraternity and sorority sec
tions have come in for a construc
tive change which has drawn from
the many students and faculty
members who have seen the new
book exclamations of approval and
satisfaction. The rearrangement
of the pictures which now run from
top to bottom of the page make
possible much larger pictures. The
names of the towns from which
each Greek member comes is also
included in the new book.
The final change is that the hu
mor section excludes personalities.
Also the feature section is given
more copy space. To this section
twenty-four pages with three full
page pictorial scenes are allotted.
In the colors of black and gold,
upon which are placed the same
characters student and musketeer
which fulfill the theme the cover
is a very striking one. It is made
of iml'.ation leather.
In chronological order the
"umn.li of events" during the
school year Is recorded in the pic
torial section. It begins with foot
ball rallies and ends with out
standing campus events of the
year.
The book consists of individual
pictures of the Juniors and seniors,
both social and professional fra
ternities and sororities, religious
and business organizations, various
councils, faculty, publication
staffs, R. O. T. C. companies and
activities, and all other features
that "-lve taken a prominent and
regular part in record of students,
activities and organizations.

High school graduates who be

distinct advantages over those who

yesterday. The freshman starting:
in the fall is usually given little at

have to worry with this.
A student may receive more
