COMPLIMENTS are in order for the minimis
tralion following the competent nnd order
ly manner in which the greatest registration in
the university's history was -managed this
week. While the procedure was undoubtedly
confusing to the record-breaking throng of
2,706 students who went thru the mill, the pic
ture was far different from that of a year ago
when chaos prevailed in the coliseum and post
ponement of opening classes for two days be
came necessary.
Despite this laudable improvement, how
ever, there is yet a phase of registration activi
ties which faiily cries for revision. A bitter
taste still lingers in the mouths of many 6ld
and new students, an unpleasantry that arose
from the sheer incompetence oE a goodly por
tion of the faculty to capably perform the ad
visory duties to which they were assigned.
This indictment of course, does not ex
tend to the entire corps of advisors, but it ap
pears that numbered among this group are
many whose only thought is to send the inquir
ing 'student on 'his way as quickly as possible
with some haphazard solution for his difficul
ties patched up for the time being.
Legion are the complaints which seem al
ways to follow registration. Students complain
that they have been directed to take the wrong
courses.'have missed requirements or taken un
necessary hours, have had their college course
literally butchered by their advisors until they
know not where they stand. Others complain
that they seek advice and aid in shading their
college careers to secure the greatest benefit
and are answered in riddles which would do
credit to the Sphinx. .
Something is surely amiss in the advisory
svstem, when a youth seeking to clear his lan
guage requirement is directed into two years of
one"lanniage when one year of another lan
nine would have sufficed; or when a student
Ts sent into two courses in the same depart
ment, identical in subject matter and differing
only name and time of class; or when stu
dents arc forced into extra semesters of mathe
matics or science or other unnecessary work
when one or two would have answered. The
Nebraskan is not basing its premises on hypo
thetical cases. These cases the Nebraskan
knows to be true. Parallel or perhaps even
worse instances exist that remain unknown.
Education is an expensive experience to
most students both from the standpoint of time
and of finances. That every student may take
the fullest advantage of these two resources is
the reason for the existence of the university's
staff of advisors.
It is the Nebraskan 's opinion that some
method of improving the services of these stu
dent advisors should be found. Those faculty
members who assume the role of advisor and
find they cannot go to the trouble of sincerely
trying to help the students who come to them
should be relieved of their odious burden and
their place taken by those who feel they have
something more to offer the student than mere
facts, cut and dried, in the classroom.
CONTEMPORARY
COMMENT
Why All the Shouting?
Now that the hysteria of Constitution Day
has come and gone and we have seen and read
all the bold face type proclaiming our constitu
tion a rock of shelter and the greatest work of
man since the Colussus of Rhodes, we can sit
back and wonder what it is all about. Certain
ly former Constitution Days haven't elicited
such a blatant display of arm waving loyalty to
the fundamental law of our land.
In former years Constitution Day has been
merelv another of those legal holidays that
make'it hard to get to the bank in time to cash
a cheek. But this year it was different. Peo
ple got just as steamed up as if someone really
had"advocated junking the constitution. We
fear that the document for which so many peo
ple essayed so much love on Monday is being
used as a football. .
There is no doubt that the constitution will
be the main issue in the 103G campaign if the
republican party has anything to do with mak
ing the issues. That is of course providing
there is no scandal concerning the administra
tion which the unsteady old O. 0. P. can use
for ammunition.
Apparently the old dealers arc dissat istied
with the potentialities of the cry against gov
ernment spending. It is putting people back
to work or promises to do so shortly. People
usually vote the way that will keep them on a
job. as many of the old dealers can testify from
their own experience in campaigning. So this
issue is not particularly outstanding from a po
litical point of view. The present opposition
is looking for something which will twang the
heartstrings and curl the spines of our voters.
Accordingly they are making much ado about
saving our constitution.
This has become tiresome simply because
as far as we can see no one, much less our presi
dent, has come out with a bloody statement
that the constitution should be scrapped or
even materially changed. It is very probable
that, should should many of the New Deal bills
passed at the last session be declared uncon
stitutional, President Roosevelt may advocate
nn amendment giving the government powers
it does not at the present possess under a strict
interpretation of the constitution. However,
we would say that there is no reason for the
public to lose its very beneficial sleep worry
ing about impending disaster to our constitu
tion. Political ballyhoo is notoriously mislead
ing. Daily California!!.
Pfeiler Shows
Differences in
National Views
Comparison of the viewpoints of
German and German-American
citizens was the keynote of an ad
dress given by Dr. W. K. Pfeiler
of the German department before
a meeting of the State Federation
of German-American citizens at
Omaha early in September.
In his speech, which has been
widely reprinted in the German
press, Mr. Pfeiler strewed the re
lations and differences of opinion
between German and German
American citizens; it is regarded
as an authentic representation of

the German-American citizen's
idea of the Hitler regime.
German-Americans cannot tol
erate race prosecution nor the
idea of a dictator, Pfeiler declared;
on the other hand, they believe
in democracy, that women have a

plete separation of church and

He also stated that, altho they
do not wish to forfeit all relations
with the fatherland, it must not
interfere in any way with thoir
adopted country, its government or
ideals.

Brokaw Alleiiil. Meeting
Of Extension Dirrrtort
The Usual Tripe
By
SLIM PICKENS
Most active of all the spectators
at the freshman game were the
swftrms of small boys Who buxsed
about everywhere. Several dosen
of them had to be driven twice off
the field, while hordes of others
swarmed up and down the aisles,
swinging on the new red gates,
and walking on the rails of
the boxes. Two shabby ragamuf
fins, armed with long-nosed cow
boy pistols, led eac hother a merry
chase from one side of the east
stand to the other.
Of course all the boys present,
no matter what the age, spent
many nickles on foodstuffs, and,
as usual, the smallest lads ate the
most. One pert young 8 year old,
however, .had his appetlto a bit
dimmed by the woes of love. It
seemed that his lady fair was in
San Antonio, and he didn't have
her address!
Another diminutive lad sported
a deadly wink which he turned on
all the girls. There were two ob
jects of feminine admiration so
small that the very climbing of the
steps was difficult, and another
who found, he could traverse the
long1 stadium corridors better on
roller skates. But the choicest
stunt of all was performed by a
very sandy haired male who re
clined Roman style upon one el
bow and viewed the spectacle with
the greatest of ease.
And the antics of the boys on
the field were interesting too, they
tell me.
It is a time-honored tradition
for the weaker sex to disapprove
of each season's feminine head
gear. But we have yet to hear a
comment as insulting as Dick
Schmidt's opinion that Marylu Pe
tersen would look like Halo in one
of these off-the-face numbers....
Johnston Snipes' explanation of
the stay-away policy of robbers
toward pent-houses is even worse.
It seems the thugs deem the places
too high fuh-lutin'.
The name and fame of Dick
Kosman, worthy successor to
brother Hank, is spreading so
rapidly among the young things of
the campus that he bids fair to be
come the man nobody no's...
Which all reminds us that tho that
much-publicized D. U. may dis
claim all playboy tendencies we
are here to state that we have
knew him since when, and any
way the fraternal generalization
would still make the statement accurate.
After much furtive wishful
thinking that the Moon was at
last losing its grip and, we
hoped, all its other diseases the
joint seems very busy. . .Seeming
to prove conclusively that you
never can tell... The traditionally
best customers, journalism and
speech students and faculty are
noisily in evidence, with the cus
tomary brawny backs bent over
the slot machine. . .Perhaps we
should issue that time-honored
warning about the very narrow
line between dissipation and ruination.

Survey Shows Increase in Nebraska
Water Supply Despite Lack of Rain
A late report prepared by the conservation nnd survey
division of the university nnd the United States geological sur
vey shows that in spite of four years of decreased rainfall in
the south central section of Nebraska there was during this
same period a replenishment of the water supply amounting to
mnrn thnn l.suu.uuu acre icci.u
This report, which is based on in
vestigations by Dr. A. L. Lngn of
the university and L. K. Wenzel,
representing the United States ge
ological survey, deals principally
with the sources of underground
water available to this section of
the state, the quantities of water
that are beine withdrawn by
pumping from wells and the extent

depletion of the supply.
Deficiency in Rainfall Disclosed.
Investigations covering the pe
riod from Jan. 1, 1931 to Jan. 1,
1935 show that there was a defi
ciency in rainfall in the south cen
tral amounting to about 1,400,000
acre feet and a net loss in ground
water storage amounting to 400,
000 acre feet, but during the same
dry period, a replenishment of the
water supply amounting to more
than 1,500,000 acre feet.
The report in part follows:

66,000 acre-feet a year percolates from mis
section of the valley southward under the
upland and reappears In the tributaries of
the RepuDiican ana Blue rivrrn. in,
est draft from the undernround reservoir
la msd by the vegetation In the low
parts of the valley where the roots of
plants withdraw water directly from the
one of saturation. This draft it estimated
at 890.000 acre-fret a year, to whlrh must
be added about lli.000 acre-feet withdrawn
by capillary rise and evaporation from the
soil tn places where the ground-water level
lands very near the Isnd surface. Thus
the total average annual discharge of water
from the underground reservoir Is estimated
nt about 490,000 acre-feet, not Including
the losses by seppage Into the Platte ana
Its tributaries."
Water Depletion Not Permanent.
Officials reach the conclusion
that in spite of the four years of
rtori-opqprl rainfall in this part of
the. state, the eround water deple
tion is not permanent, but that
with the return of normal years
there will be essential restoration
of this reserve.
"The results of the investigation
are distinctly encouraging in
showing the large hold over ca
pacity of the underground reser
voir, affording an ample water
supply even for periods of severe
drouth," states the report.
AROUND AND ABOUT
(Continued from Page 1.)
the heedless multitude "What
happened?"
And enjoying it all imensely
was this terrifying man Walker.
Another campus personage,
most unlike our first celebrity ex
cept as to moustache, is Max
Schnitter, grizzly old greenhouse
caretaker. His real name, as he
loves to tell you, is like that of the
ill-fated Emperor Maxmillan of
Mexico: "I'm Max without the
million!"
He delights in discussing adoles
cent discipline, on the principles of
which he staunchly retains many
ideas "of the old school." When
properly approached he forcefully
expounds on any and all of these,
but he is quick to bristle at a
conversational mis-step. An Es-quire-ish
"Don't miss!"
Then there is the presiding
genius of the botanical library, Dr.
T. J. Fitzpatrick, long a favorite
of this nosey time-taker-up-cr. Ac
claimed by the department as irre
placeable, he is desperately delib
erate and painstaking in his scien
tific work. But on rainy after
noonsif you are very nice he
will show you his remarkable pri
vate collection of original edition
Djcken9 and pre-printing press
volumes. For the university he
has obtained many priceless works
of botanical research, including
most of the writings of that "fath
er of modern botany," Llnneaus.
But he is a "very busy man."
JF heavy science gives you an
inferiority complex or a head
ache, call on Mrs. Holmes, mat
ron at the women's locker rooms
in the coliseum She can teil
tales of wonder about such note
worthies as Seth Parker, Ted
Shawn and troup, such divas of
tho operatic world as Jeritza and
Coe Glade, with a bit of Russian
ballet mixed in. Or, if you tire
of the spot-light arena, she has
a charming family to hear
about.
For first hand experiences as to
the glamour of the stage, however,
or war stories par exctlelhee, Miis
H. Alice Howell Is the one to see.
She Is a much sought afttr woman
but If Fortune should ever Shine
on you, you will listen open
mouthed to "shows" sht has
"done," and luminaries she's
"played with." Stage talk Is the
most fasr'natlng In the world, so
start living right now for that
golden opportunity.
If you still think the "Greeks
had a name for it," consult Dean
Oldfather in his inner sanctum. A
true scholar and gentleman, Dr,
Oldfather will, when asked polite
ly, tell of his translations of Greek
and Latin classics. If you stumble
In the face of auch culture, beware
of a twinkling brown eye behind
those rimless Oldfather glasses,
and a cryptio comment from those
tight-drawn Oldfather lips. That
is your cue to stumble, blinking,
befuddled and bewildered back
into the less rarefied stratas and
call your calling a day.
