Bernstein Resigns as Head
Of Board; Schroeder,
MacMahon Elected.
Dave Bernstein, recently elected
co-chairman of the Junior-Senior
prom committee, resigned as head
of the Student Council forums
committee at a regular meeting
of the council held in University
hall yesterday afternoon. Leo Mac
Mahon and Al Schroeder were ap
pointed to serve as co-chairmen
of the body for the remainder of
the semester.
"I have found it very difficult
to satisfactorily perform the du
ties of the committee, because I
was attempting to carry too many
activities," Bernstein explained. "I
think it would be best for me to
resign since I do not feel that
I can do justice to the amount
of work the position requires."
Levin Hopes for Forums.
Arnold Levin, council president,
who appointed the new co-chairmen,
declared that he believes
"the forums committee really de
mands two men to serve at its
head if it is to function to its best
advantage." He expressed the sin
cere hope that in the future the
committee would take advantage
of as many as possible of the
plentiful opportunities which are
offered for interesting and educa
tional forums.
Three student council members
were elected to serve on the Uni
versity Honors Convocations com
mittee, which will plan the pro

Rare reminiscences as well as
several Incisive indictments of the
educational set-up came out of an
interview yesterday with Dr.
Laura B. Tfeiffer who has been
recently granted a leave of ab
sence from the university for the
second semester, and who will re
tire from the faculty August 1
after 34 years of teaching in the
history department.
"I feel that the outlook of the
younger faculty members is neces
sarily, and somewhat unhappily,
different than it was in the days
of Bcssey, Hastings, Fossler, Fling
and F.. H. Barbour, who is still a
member of the staff," declared
Miss Pfeiffer when asked for ob

have come over Nebraska univer

Ohio's governor, Martin L.
Davey, was not called upon to
give the shirt off his back, but he
was requested to give up a pair

Kappa Kpsilon brothers, to obtain
an atitogiaphed pair of Governor
Davey s shorts.
Fernald telephoned to find out
the governor's size; then he bought
a pair, called at the executive's of
fices and proposed a swap.
Governor Davey consented, went

the autographed shorts.

T
Enrollment Work Passes
Half-Way Mark, Says
Dr. Congdon.
University assignment com
mittee reported 51 sections defi
nitely closed to further enrollment
at the end of the third day of deg
istration. Dr. A. O. Congdon, chair
man or the committee, estimated
that over half the total work of
enrollment is already completed.
First count of filled classes was
made earlier this year than ever
before because of the unusually
heavy registration in the opening
days. "We were forced to compile
the list of closed sections at this
early date because of the rush
that has been made," Dr. Cong
don explained. "A copy of the list,
will be in the hands of every ad
visor Thursday morning in order
to lessen the trouble with re-registration
because of overfilled
classes."
Condon Predicts Lull.
Summarizing the enrollment ac
tivity, Congdon said he anticipated
a lull to begin this afternoon since
such a large part of the work has
already been completer!. He de
clared that the entire procedure
had been reversed this year in
that the enrollment rush ordinar
ily begins in the middle of the
week. "Students usually fiddle
around during the opening days of
registration, and there is not much
activity until Wednesday or Thurs
day," Congdon remarked. "Under
those circumstances, the last day
of registration, Friday, is the
