TO GATHER
DAY
Fight Song Contest Reopened
Do you want a new Nebraska fight song? Do you think it's
about time the university selected one song that everyone can
learn and will join in singing at the games?
Mortar Boards and Innocents, backed by the Daily Nebraskan,
are launching a contest in which you, the student body, are to be
the final judges in selecting a real Cornhusker fight song. Twenty
dollars are offered to any composer whose composition receives the
greatest number of student votes.
Students have an advantage in the contest they know what
their fellow students ask for in a school song. They know that an
original, novel idea molded into a battle cry will win more plaudits
than the trite verses found in every teacher's college hymnal.
Collaborate with your roommate; button-hole a musically in
clined friend and give him your ideas; and don't forget to cast
your vote on the entries which will be printed in the Nebraskan
when they come pouring in.

Van Royen Finds Differences
European, American Colleges
In comparing continental and American universities Prof.
William Von lioven, assistant professor of geography, who lias
made a study of the subject, has disclosed many distinct dif
ferences. Not only are no definite assignments made, but no
records or grades are kept for any student in the foreign
schools. o-
"Each student, however, must
take a preliminary examination
each six months or so before he
may receive credit," according to
Von Royen. "If he passes this test
to the satisfaction of his instruc
tor, he may come in for the com
prehensive exam."
Courses in the foreign schools
are on the whole lectures but some
are seminars where discussions are
held. Students, if they wish to
succeed, must take detailed notes
and investigate references sug
gested by the professor.
The comprehensive tests are
given orally, as are the prelimi
naries. They are conducted by a
professor who sits at his desk and
asks questions for two or three
hours on things which the stu
dents should know.
Miss Arnold Announces
Deadline for Pictures
Urging that all students have

tract for engraving in the year
book this year necessitates this
early date," stated Miss Arnold.
"When a group is notified ot
the date to have their picture
taken, we would appreciate
their immediate co-operation."

tory." The regular Friday afternoon

Commenting on the fact that
campuses do not exist in conti
nental universities. Von Royen
stated, "If the buildings on the
Nebraska campus were combined
with those of the ag college, they
still would not be equal in size to
those of the school in Utrech, Hol
land, if the buildings there were
scattered on a campus as they are
here."
In foreign colleges there are no
student activities or societies as in
this country. If students wish
recreation, they must join the city
sports clubs. There is no connec
tion between sports and the
schools.
Stating that classes in conti
nental colleges are fewer and more
independent. Von Royen observed
that "few, if any, girls ever at
tend the colleges."
