NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, MAY 12. 193 PKICE FIVE CENTS XJlD Is Ixxr 'I SKAN A REGISTRATION QUESTIONNAIRE Registration is heading: down the home stretch now while sec tions are closing- and students with lack of foresight are sweating for fear they won't be ahle to get in at least one course they consider a breather or snap. Students who have a vague idea of going to work at something when they graduate are puzzling or have puzzled out their majors and minors. Since that kind of students comprise the great ma jority of collegians it might per haps be appropriate to give an other little helpful questionnaire. Here goes. Section A. Sample. A fish needs (fins, wings, legs) to swim with, 1. A student needs a (pencil, an adviser, an aspirin) to reg ister with. 2. An adviser needs (patience, two aspirins, another adviser) to cope with his advisees. 3. A parent needs (under standing, money, faith) in order to permit his offsprings to reg ister. 4. An adviser will need (a traffic cop, a package of aspi rins, a Micky Finn) on the last day of registration. 5. Freshmen need (help, time, a compass) in order to register. Section B. Sample. People have more fun than (anybody, Greeks, you and me I. 1. Adviser's secretaries have more friends than (Hector had pups, you and me, the guy whose best friend won't tell him I. 2. Military Science has more flections than (anybody, advanced math, a Pullman carl. 3. A puzzled registrant has more wrinkles in his brow than (a house steward, a lawyer on the eve of exams, both of us). 4. An adviser has more advisees than (there are democrats, a dog has Teas, Carter has pills i. 5. There are less snap courses than (last year, anybody, you think). Section C. Sample: Hitler is like (himself, a Fuller brush salesman, nobody else). 1. Picking out a pipe course is like (looking for needles in hay stacks, stealing out of a blind man's cup, searching for hidden meanings). 2. Arranging- a schedule so you have no classes on Friday is like talking Jim Farley into promo ting postmasters on merit, pulling teeth out of a chicken's mouth, selling war munitions on a cash basis i. 3. Getting every class you want is like (getting the bread passed to you the first time you ask for it, the millenium. the Husker base ball team winning six in a row). . Having no 8 o'clock is like (heaven, a waste of time, having no 8 o'clock). WALKER OPENS FILINGS FOR PUBLICATION POSTS Applicants for Nebraskan, Cornhusker, Awgwan Apply by May 18.

POLICE REGISTER IS Students Jam Office First Day of F.B.I. Campaign To File Handmarks. As approximately 400 persons left their fingerprints, the identifi cation campaign got under way yesterday, keeping four operators from the state and county sher iffs' offices and university and city police departments working to ca pacity. The plan to obtain the fingerprints of all the students and place them on file in the civil identification division of the federal bureau of investigation is being sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega and the university police department. A 15 minute nian-on-the-street program was conducted yester day morning by Jack Hansen of ir ab. col. C. J. Fiankforter and Prof. J. M. Reinhardtwere inter viewed, as well as a umber of students, to bring out the protec tion value of the program. Han sen described the process as the fingerprinting experts took prints. Drive Continues to May 14. To each student a card bearing the imprint of his right index finger was issued to be carried on his person as an exer present means of identification which is easily used. As the students filed thru the entrance of the Student Union, where the facilities are set up, they filled out a sheet which is sent into the FBI with separate imprints of each finger, simul taneous prints of their four fin eers and extia print of each thumb. The drive will continue on the city campus until May I t and will be started on the Ag campus May 16. A.T.O.OEBATERSWIN S Semi-Finals Tonight Place Beta Theta Pi Versus Sigma Alpha Mu.

Spurr Finds 5 Factors Which Point To Recovery. Despite the marked downward movement in business during the past several months, Prof. W. A. Spurr. business statistician, finds that there are five factors which seem to promise a sustained period of recovery beginning perhaps as early as this fall. According to Prof. Spurr, "In- dustrial production, commodity and 8tock prjCCS and business profits declined precipitously rrom August to December last year. Although it was hoped that an up turn would follow President Roosevelt's announcement of his spending-lending program in April as it had under similar circum stances in March 1933. business has continued to slump." Underlying Strength. The University's business statis tician finds, however, that there are five conditions of underlying strength which promise to make this depression milder and shorter CLASS SECTIONS CLOSE AS STUDENTS REGISTER 24 Sections Full, Less Than Last Spring at Same Time in Week.
