As upperclassmen prepare to re
sume school life where they left
it last spring, some 1700 freshmen
are in the midst of the university's
first Fresman Week an elabora
tion of the old Freshman Day
which has been arranged this fall
in line with the Junior Division's
aim of a more careful Introduction
of new students to the university.
Following the general convoca
tion in the coliseum last Thursday
morning where they were wel
comed by Chancellor C. S. Bou
cher, approximately 1500 fresh
men took ar- English classification
test in thafternoon the first
time in the history of the uni
versity that uniform examinations
were administered to all members
of an entering- class at the same
time.
Aptitude tests
Similar tests in mathematics,
scholastic aptitude, reading and
study skills were conducted Fri
day and Saturday. All will be
graded and available to faculty
advisors when they meet with
freshmen for individual confer
ences at registration time , today
through Wednesday. Several hun
dred additional freshmen are tak
ing the tests at other times.
By means of the classification
tests, summer correspondence, and
applications filled out by fresh
men and high school authorities,
each new student will be placed
in his proper group at registra
tion time and his advisors will be
adequately informed to lend him
assistance and guidance in his
university program.
Register In one college
Most freshmen will register in
one of the regular colleges of the
university in conjunction with
their first-year enrollment in the
Junior Division. Their minds are
made up as to their selection of

and they are qualified to begin
immediate study in their chosen

lege they wish to enter, but have
deficiencies that must be removed
before they can do so. They will
spend thir first year in the Jun
ior Division making up such de
ficiencies. Others have not yet
made definite choice of vocation
or college, but by spending a year
in general course work in the Jun
ior Division and by special coun
seling, they should be ready to
enter the proper college and take
up their four-year course with lit
tle or no loss of time.
Adult education emphasized.
Increased emphasis on adult
education in universities all over
the country the last few years
has led Nebraska officials to pro
vide also for students who may
wish to take up one or more
courses for some definite end but
not a full program. Other students
enter in the knowledge that two
years represents maximum college
training for them. The Junior Di
vision offers new two-year courses
in the colleges "of agriculture and
business administration courses
working the vital subjects of each
college into a planned two-year
curriculum. Programs of terminal
courses are anticipated for the
engineering and general education
colleges as well.
