19 Out of 22 Cornhuskcr
Entrants Win Places
In Various Events.
Wearing a broud grin of ju
bilation over the performance of
his Hu.skers lust Saturday, track
Coach Henry F. Schultc is mighty
proud these days. Not only be
cause of the annexation of the
Big Six title, but also because of
the fine balance of the Husker
team.
A Big Six ruling limits the
number of trackmen to 22, anil in
the conference classic last week,
13 Schultemcn placed in the vari
ous events. Nebraska failed t
place in only one event, the 44U
yard run. but only because Coach
Schulte held Les Pankonin out
of the quarter mile, in order to
let him run the sprints.
Only four of Coach Schulte's
pupils will be lost by graduation.
They are Harold Jacobsen. Sher
man Cosgrovc. Slandley Haight,
and Chester Beaver, four Husker
veterans who have been the main
stay of this year's team and whose
loss will be keenly felt.
Dual Meet Next.
Coach Schulte is looking for
ward to next year's track and
field team without his traditional
pessiirism. Besides a formidable
array of experienced Husker of
sophomore and junior standing,
there is a crop of freshmen com
ing up that will greatly strength
en the squad. Some of the more
promising frosh are Bob Allen,
Leland Butler, Wayne Varcho,
Bob Simmons. Boh Mills, Bob
Neumann, Beverly Olt, Ray Baxter,
Dick F.vans, Wesley L'vans, Louis
Warfield. Alfred Kuper. Frank
Estcs and Fred Koch.
A dual meet with Minnesota at
Minneapolis June 6 will bring
down the curtain on Nebraska's
sport's show for this school year,
one of the finest in the history
of Coach Schulte's tutelage. The
Schultemen breezed thru indoor
meets and won the Big Six indoor
crown. Excellant showings were
made by the Huskers in the
Texas, Kansas, and Drake relay
affairs. Outdoor competition was
kee". but the Schultemcn swept
thru liie season undefeated to at
tain the outdoor Big Six title
as a fitting climax.
The past track season has
marked a great change in Conch

part of his makeup is lost a
cigar. No longer do sport patrons

On Sunday evening June 7,
members of tie graduating class

departure, in which fate has di
rected them in hundreds of dif

others have removed themselves
to such distances that it would be
impossible for them to return,
while still others have passed to
a more distant beyond from which
they will never return to worldly
circles.
But among those that do meet
for the June reunion there will be
reminiscing and reflecting of by

all its study and activity. Among
those that come back there will

Jaylunvker Co-eds Fight
'Dutch' Dating Proposal
UnivcTSily Daily Kansan.
As one woman, Betty Co-eds at
Kansas university arose, stated
their rights, and howled lustily
against "the "Dutch-dating" plan
which the student governing asso
ciation atemnted to put into ef
fect, for woe is unto the swain
who would even suggest now that
his date go "half and half" with
him. Many are the hard looks di
rected his way, causing him no
little einbaitassiiiciit. Accoi'uing to
students on the hill, the plan was
not a success, and was never ob
served except at the W. S. G. A.
carnival, at which it was to be
initiated.
A cheerful report of the carnival
has words to this effect: "Men who
chose to remain chivalrous were
soon put into their places and often
the dates were deeply humiliated
by the booth tenders when they
were compelled to pay for their
own chances.

BEGINS JUNE
Registration Opens June 9;
Students Allowed Six to
Nine Hours Credit.
Following registration on June
9 and 10. classes for the 1936
annual summer sessions of the
University will open on Thurs
day. June 11, according to an
nouncement made by Prof. R. D.
Moritz, director of summer school
activities. The short session for
this summer Is scheduled to con
tinue until July 17, while the long
session will be concluded on Aug
ust 7.
According to the summer ses
sion bulletins which are available
at the registrar's office, the work
to be offered this year is designed
to furnish not only a scholarly
program of professional and
academic courses but one suf
ficiently flexible to meet the needs
of all types of students includ
ing teachers, or those preparing
to teach, school supervisors and
administrators, college students
who desire to make up deficiencies
or to continue their regular col
legiate study, students who must
meet prerequisites for admission
to professional schools, or anyone
desiring to pursue studies for their
cultural or vocational values.
Regulations for the sessions
this summer provide that students
registered for the short session
will be allowed to register for six
hours credit, while those attend
ing the long session will be per
mitted to earn a maximum of
nine credit hours.
The courses being offered, ac
cording to director Moritz are
equivalent in method, character,
and credit values to those of
fered during the regular school
year and most of the departments
have designed their summer school
programs in such a manner that
students working for advanced
degrees may complete their re
quirements in four consecutive ses
sions. Prof. Moritz emphasized
the fact that the courses in the
graduate college have been reor
ganized and are to be more ex
tensive than in former years with
unusual opportunities in both the
professional colleges and the lib
eral arts college for students pur
suing their graduate work.
Registration for the summer ses
sion will be held in the uni
versity coliseum on June 9, from
1 to 5 o'clock, and June 10 from
8 to 12, and from 2 to 5, the di
rector announced. Anyone desir
ing information concerning fees,
courses, and living quarters during
the sessions are asked to call at
the registrar's office in order to

not so favoiable to the idea. One
commentator seems to think that
the plan is all election ballyhoo
put on for publicity. This person
deemed it " idiotic and unsound"
and said that if it was put to a
vote, nobody but politicians and
stooges would vote for it.
"It stands to reason, and cus
tom, that if a boy wants a girl's
company enough to ask her to
dinner, he should be willing to pay
for it," stated a second Jayhawker.
"The girls should place an embar
go and mane the boys share the
expense of fixing themselves up to
make the boy proud to be with
them or else to cut their expenses
to a minimum and see if the boy
will still be proud to take them
out."
These are of the nature of most
of -the comments made on the new
plan. It seems that couples are
loath to break away from the old
customs which have governed for
so long. Common "Dutch-dates"
seem doomed to death with but one
day of glory at K.U. and that
day was their birthday.
