The warm days of the past two weeks have taken off many of the su perfluous pounds that some of the more weighty gridders have put on during the summer months. And now the boys are getting down to their best and more normal poundage. Most recent change in the shift ing of players has been at the quarterback, fullback, and end po sitions.

K. L. Blue, who is in charge of the party at Mullen, found the skull in the Loup river valley. Other important discoveries were made by the eight field par ties which went out from the mu seum. One of the largest deposits of Miocene rinoceros bones ever uncovered was found by the party at Bridgeport, and workers are re opening the huge camel quarries at Lisco and Oshkosh to procure more fossil bone6 for the univer sity collection. Mr. Blue also found the jaw of a small lion. Despite the fact that it is big ger than modern American lions, the large skull is thought to be that of an immature lion. Its re semblance to the cats now living in Asia and Africa leads to the conclusion that the lions of the ice age migrated to this continent from Asia, following herds of bi son and musk ox over the Bering Lincoln Sunday Journal and Star. straight. The lions disappeared a short time after this. Several skulls have been found in California, but this is the first one discovered in this section of the country.

However, the Camp at Broadwater is expected to re main through the winter, the same as last year. Uni inaugurates new system of freshman classification A new system of classifying students was inaugurated by the university last Thursday after noon. The Bureau of Instructional Re search had been contemplating a system of classification for the past two years. This year a group of four tests were given to all students entering the university for the first time. These tests, given under the same basic condi tions will enable the advisors to arrange a course more adapted to each student. The biggest single benefit derived from the tests is the aid to the registration advisor in learning about the student and bership obtainable was in 1907. In 1921, the Black Masque assumed its present name of Mortar Board. the problem of teaching him. Prof. Wilbur S. Gregory, who had charge of the administration of the tests said that approxi mately 1,483 students took the English test Thursday afternoon, 1,494 took the Scholastic Aptitude Test Friday morning. 1,509 took the Mathematics Test Friday aft ernoon, and 1.502 took the Read ing and Study Skills Test Satur day morning. Henry M. Cox. director of the Bureau of Instructional Research, points out that these tests are es sential in order that the student may pursue a course more suited to his individual ability. Upon being interviewed, most freshmen admitted being slightly rusty on some subjects. C4A cuts flight training cost The CAA flight course for uni versity students is being offered this year at a reduced rate. The total fees for each student ac cepted will be $25 in contrast to the $40 charge of last year. Tui tion, medical examination, and in surance are included in the $25 fee. Several positions are still open, and applications will be accepted until further notice. This total of $25 supplants the fee of $50 as stated bv error in the Sunday issue of the DAILY.

Since 1905, the year when Mor tar Boards were first chosen on the Nebraska campus, there have been 455 senior women chosen as members uf that honorary organ isation. Affiliated groups are in the lead, 283 of that number be ing sorority women. However, the bait are running a close second, with 172 of their group having been chosen to wear the black Moilar Board pin. First place among sororities is held Jointly by Alpha Chi Omega pm -DeKa Gamuia, each sorority having had 29 of her members choaen as Mortar Boards since 1907. Alpha Phi is following close ly with 28 Mortar Boards in her history, and in fourth place is Delta Delta Delta with 26. These sororities did not, however, have a Mortar Board each year. For in stance, Delta Gamma missed ten times, and Alpha Chi Omega was without a Mortar Board in eleven of the thirty-six years since the founding of the group. Then known as the Black Masque, this honorary group for senior women was founded in 1906, but the first record of wem- IIow often we hear that re quest because it seems to be the fall from all yomijr sophisticates.
